Chapter 88

Mingyue Pavilion, another private room.

Cui Shenghui and Wang Qingyun are entertaining several young people from the family.

"I didn't expect the family to send the eldest brother here. With the eldest brother here, we will definitely win tomorrow's competition." Cui Shenghui complimented.

There is no way, although his status in the Cui family is not low, but compared with Cui Xu, it is still far behind.

Cui Xu is one of the candidates for the next generation head of the Cui family.

Cui Xu smiled warmly, and said, "The family of Immortal Drunken's formula is very important, and no mistakes are allowed, so they sent me here."

The five surnames and Qiwang attach great importance to the formula of Immortal Drunk. After careful calculation, the profit of Immortal Drunk is very large. Even if the six families share it, the strength of several of them can be improved to a higher level.

This time, they finally had the opportunity to obtain the formula of Immortal Drunk. In order to ensure that nothing would go wrong, they all sent the candidates for the patriarch that the family focused on training to Chang'an.

"Brother Cui, since we are here, the recipe for Immortal Drunk must be ours." Wang Shuo said with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Wang is right, a son of a merchant, how can he be our opponent." Zheng Qi agreed.

They are all the successors that the family spent a lot of painstaking efforts to cultivate. Even if they do not become the heads of the family in the future, they will still hold a lot of power, which is not comparable to Cui Shenghui and Wang Qingyun.

They didn't take Lin Xuan seriously at all.

The same Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention to them. We'll wait and see who wins and who loses.

……

Today is the day when Lin Xuan and the family made an appointment to compete. Cheng Chumo and the others came to the Lin family early, and they made an appointment to go there together.

On the second day after Lin Xuan came back from winter hunting, the family sent someone to notify the location of the competition.

The location of the competition decided by the family is a house of the Cui family in Chang'an.

The Cui family just sent a butler to welcome Lin Xuan and the others at the door.

"The aristocratic family is so deceitful that they even sent a butler to welcome us." Cheng Chumo was furious.

Lin Xuan smiled, is this a blow to the horse?

"He is about to lose 60 guan, it's normal to be emotional." Lin Xuan said indifferently.

"Haha, Lin Xuan, you are right." Cheng Chumo and the others laughed.

The housekeeper of the Cui family sneered in his heart: "Laugh, you won't be able to laugh if you lose in a while."

Lin Xuan and the others entered Cui's house under the leadership of the housekeeper.

This time the competition was held in the garden of Cui's family. After all, this house is the face of Cui's family in Chang'an. It covers an area of ​​tens of acres and the garden is very large.

When Lin Xuan arrived, he saw that many people had already arrived.

In addition to Wang Qingyun and the others, there are also some heads of aristocratic families in Chang'an.

"Lin Xuan, you are finally here, I thought you were afraid to come!" Wang Qingyun mocked.

In the aristocratic family, he and Lin Xuan had the deepest hatred.

Lin Xuan sneered and said, "Is your money ready?"

"You win first." Wang Qingyun said disdainfully.

Lin Xuan shrugged, "I'm afraid you won't have money to pay if you lose."

Just when Wang Qingyun was about to say something, Wang Shuo beside him stepped forward, looked at Lin Xuan and said, "You are Lin Xuan?"

"Who are you?" Lin Xuan frowned.

Wang Shuo said proudly: "I am Wang Shuo, the candidate for the head of the royal family."

"I've never heard of it!" Lin Xuan said lightly.

"You..." Wang Shuo pointed at Lin Xuan angrily.

He is the candidate for the patriarch of the Wang family, and he feels that he is more noble than those sons and grandsons of the dragon, but Lin Xuan actually said that he had never heard of it.

"Why, you guys still want to fight?" Cheng Chu moaned.

Of course Wang Shuo knew Cheng Chumo's identity and knew that he really dared to do it.

"I hope you don't lose too badly. I like to drink the fairy drunk." Wang Shuo left this sentence and left.

He was a little afraid that Cheng Chumo would really make a move, and he would lose face.

Even if Cheng Chumo beat him, it is impossible for the family to turn against the Cheng family because of this matter.

As the person in charge of the Cui family in Chang'an, Cui Hao is in the territory of the Cui family again today. He is entertaining the heads of several other families and some famous scholars they have invited.

They are going to let these great Confucians be the referees. These great Confucians are very prestigious among scholars. Although they will not help them obviously, they will definitely be partial.

At this moment, the butler hurried over, leaned into Cui Hao's ear and said, "Master, Your Majesty is here."

Cui Hao suddenly felt that Li Shimin must have come to stand for Lin Xuan, and Li Shimin came so many ways that it would be difficult to use.

"Everyone, Your Majesty is here, let's go to meet His Majesty." Cui Hao said loudly.

No matter how much conflict there is between the aristocratic family and the royal family, at least they can face it. They will definitely welcome Li Shimin when he comes.

A group of people hurried to the door to welcome Li Shimin.

Lin Xuan took a look, good guy, did Lao Li bring all the officials here?

On the side of the civil servants are Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and on the side of the generals are Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong...

Lin Xuan also saw Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Everyone saluted.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Excuse me, I heard that there is a grand event here today, so I came to see it, Cui Aiqing will not be offended."

Cui Hao cursed inwardly, you have already come, I can still drive you away.

But he said: "It is an honor for your Majesty to come. Please, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin came to Cui's garden in the front and everyone behind.

After everyone sat down, Cui Hao said: "Jingyang County Bo and our family agreed to compare the six skills of a gentleman, a total of six items. In order to prevent both sides from insisting on their own opinions, a few referees are needed. I don't know who is willing."

They had arranged it long ago, but in order not to give anyone an excuse, they said this on purpose.

"I don't know if this old man can be the referee."

As soon as Cui Hao's voice fell, the four came out and said.

Cui Hao's face was ugly, the people who came out were not arranged by him at all.

The four people who came out were Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, and Wang Xiaotong.

Although the people he was looking for were all famous Confucian scholars, they were still far behind these people.

Ordinarily they would not stand up so actively in their identities, it seems that everything was arranged by Li Shimin.

Cui Hao couldn't refuse, so he forced a smile and said, "It turns out that you are all masters of literature, so of course they deserve it."

"Who are these people?" Lin Xuan asked Cheng Chumo in a low voice.

Cheng Chumo told Lin Xuan the identities of several people.

There is also a surnamed Wang?

"Is the person surnamed Wang from the Wang family?" Lin Xuan asked.

No wonder he thought so, there is a saying that the surname of the king of the world comes from Taiyuan.

Qin Huaidao explained: "Master Wang has nothing to do with the Taiyuan Wang family, but Tong Zhilang Taishi Cheng. Although his official position is not high, he is very famous in mathematics, and he is a generation of mathematics masters!"

Only then did Lin Xuan feel relieved, otherwise, if someone from the Wang family were to be the referee, he would definitely favor the family.

"Okay, since this matter has been decided, I would like to invite everyone present to witness that if a gentleman's six arts first defeats the four arts, he will be the winner! Do you have any objections?" Yu Shinan stood up and said.

Ordinarily, Kong Yingda, as the 31st grandson of Confucius, has the highest reputation, so he should be the host.

But Kong Yingda didn't like to host these things, so he had to let Yu Shinan to host.
