"No, I used the method of brewing wine in exchange for [-]% of the wine shopkeeper Qin's bonus. I had the intention of cooperating with Qin shopkeeper when I brewed wine before. I just took this opportunity to make this business with Qin shopkeeper," Yueli said. He shook his head and said, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Jin Yuan and continued, "Your Majesty named me Yilang before, this time I happened to give the drunken tribute to His Majesty to thank the emperor for his kindness. How about it, don't suffer."

"Haha!" Jin Yuan laughed loudly, "Amian really has you, no wonder Shopkeeper Qin has made a deal with you, so she doesn't have to worry about the new wine not meeting Feng Huang's liking, anyway Feng Huang can drink until drunk ."

It’s just that Ah Shi was still a little annoyed and said: “The method of brewing wine requires only [-]% of the bonus from the shopkeeper Qin.”

Jin Yuan patted Ah Shi on the shoulder and said, "We also came up with a few questions for Ah Mian, so that Ah Mian can win against those students, and then settle accounts with them."

Ah Shi nodded and looked at Yue Li, "A Mian, what is the third question?"

Chapter 16 Coincidence

Yue Li said: "The third question is to get a picture of plum blossoms from Mr. Mu Xi, but do you know who Mr. Mu Xi is?"

A Shi nodded and said: "Mu Xi is the grandson of Mu's parents, one of the four sons of Fengxiang, but..."

Jin Yuan took over and said, "Amian, you don't know something. It's an elegant thing to ask the four princes for paintings, but it's difficult to ask Mu Xi."

Yue Xin said that sure enough, those students must have asked very tricky questions, and asked, "Why?"

Jin Yuandao: "Mu Xi originally took office with his mother in Nanjun, but his mother died more than half a year ago. On the way back to Mu's house with his father, she was robbed by bandits in Wolongzhai. This incident was later reported in Yongcheng. It's open, it was the old lady of the Mu family who put in a lot of effort to suppress this matter, but Mu Xi's reputation has been ruined. Later, Mu Xi lived in seclusion and didn't see outsiders, and few students came to ask for paintings, but I have never heard of any student asking for Mu Xi's cold plum picture before."

Yueli didn't expect that this matter would have something to do with Wolong Village, but Wolong Village has always only robbed wealth and not people, and recently it's only robbing caravans, not ordinary pedestrians, I'm afraid there are other inside stories, Then he asked, "But I've heard that bandits in Wolongzhai only rob money, but I've never heard of them robbing people?"

Jin Yuan tapped his hand with a fan and said: "It's just a battle in the back house. The Mu family intends to marry the Yan family, but Mu Xi has several cousins. Mr. Mu Xi is the eldest grandson and one of the four sons of Fengxiang. One, Mr. Mu Xi is the first choice to marry this time, but it is precisely at this juncture that Mu Xi was robbed and his reputation was destroyed. Naturally, he cannot be chosen again for the marriage. It's just a pity for Mr. Mu Xi, but it's all It was more than half a year ago."

It was only then that Yueli realized that it should have happened when the head of the family was still alive. Although this matter was taken advantage of by someone with a heart, it was still the village's responsibility in the final analysis. It's not Mr. Mu Xi's fault, those students are too pedantic, they don't even come to ask for paintings anymore?"

Jin Yuandao: "Without Mr. Shuxian, it would have been difficult for men to go out, let alone study. Now it is much better, but it is a matter of a man's reputation, and ordinary people will inevitably still value it."

Yueli asked: "Does the Namu family allow outsiders to come to ask for paintings?"

Jin Yuan said: "Did the Mu family prohibit it?"

Yue Li took a measure and said, "So I'll come to the house and have a try before we talk about it."

Ah Shi comforted Yueli and said, "Ah Mian, even if we can't ask for a painting, we have already won a round, and then we can try to prevent those students from defeating us."

Yueli nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure."

Back at Shigutang, Yueli wrote a post and went to Mu's house, saying that he came to ask for a painting. Now that Yueli has an official position, the servants of Mu's family didn't feel embarrassed and took Yueli to the main hall to wait. A servant dressed as a servant came over and said, "Scholar Xie, please go back, my son is not feeling well today and can't paint."

Yue Li smiled and handed the post in his hand to the little waiter, "Please show this to your young master, if your young master still can't paint, I won't bother you."

The little servant hesitated to take the post and saluted and went back to Mu Xi's residence. The young masters of the Mu family were admiring the flowers in the garden and saw the young servant in a hurry. What happened in the hall, what did the young servant next to the eldest son do?"

The servant said respectfully: "Someone in the front hall came to ask the eldest son for a painting."

Muchen said: "Oh, who is asking for a painting?"

The servant replied, "It's Xie Mian Xie Shizi."

Mu Yue, the third son of the Mu family, laughed and said: "Second elder brother doesn't know something. Recently, the students of Yongcheng are competing with this scholar Xie, and they want to drive Xie scholar out of Yongcheng. The third question is to get elder brother's cold plum picture, but It's been a long time since anyone asked Big Brother for a painting, this time Big Brother should be happy for a long time, but this Xie Shizi is just an illiterate layman, and now only such a person is willing to come to ask for a painting."

Muchen reprimanded lightly: "Shut up, big brother is the eldest brother, how can you say that about him."

Mu Yue said: "Student Yan Yan is also among them."

After hearing this, Mu Chen's eyes flickered and he said to the servant: "In the past few days, you should go out and inquire more often, and tell me the results."

Then the human said yes.

Mu Chen snorted disdainfully. Although Yan Yan is a side branch of the Yan family, her status in the Yan family is not low, and she is also the first choice for marriage among scholars. When he heard that he was going to marry the Yan family, he thought that The second brother is very active. How did he treat the eldest brother back then, and now he is putting on a show.

The little waiter here returned to Mu Xi's residence, and Mu Xi asked, "Has Mr. Xie gone back?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "Master, Xie Shizi asked me to give you this post," and then handed the post to Mu Xi, "She said that if you still don't want to paint, she will go back."

Mu Xi took the post, opened it, and was stunned. The waiter called twice before he came to his senses and said, "Prepare the pen and ink, and bring the good rice paper."

The little waiter was puzzled and said, "My lord, you are willing to paint."

Mu Xi said: "Go!" The waiter hurriedly went to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Mu Xi stood in front of the table and closed his eyes to meditate for a moment, then opened his eyes and drew the picture of cold plums in one breath, and inscribed the poem on the post next to the cold plums, and when the ink was dry on the painting, he rolled up the picture and handed it to the waiter: "Bring this painting to Xie Shizi, and tell Xie Shizi, Mu Xi thank you."

The little waiter was confused and said: "It's the young master."

The little attendant avoided the young masters of Mu's family and came to the main hall and handed the painting to Yueli and said, "Master Xie, this is a painting my young master gave you, and young master said thank you."

Yue Li took the painting and nodded and said: "Go back and tell your young master, just say no thanks."

Yueli got the painting and came to Jiuxiangju on the date of the appointment. Wang Yujue took the painting and opened it, but he was stunned. He saw a plum blossom beside the broken bridge outside the post in the white snow. Proud and unyielding, what's even better is the poem accompanying the painting, Wang Yujue unconsciously read out: "Beside the broken bridge outside the post, there is no one left alone. It's already dusk to worry about alone, and it's wind and rain. Unintentionally strive for spring, let the crowd be jealous. Scattered into mud and dust, only the fragrance remains the same."

After hearing this, all the students gathered around and tried to pass it on to see this painting. After seeing it, they were shocked. Some students sighed: "As expected of Mr. Mu Xi, the fourth son of Fengxiang, his talent is much better than mine!"

Yan Yan also took the painting and looked at it and nodded slightly: "Good painting, good poetry."

Wang Yujue looked at Yueli and said, "Xie Shizi won this round, now that three rounds have passed, I wonder what Xie Shizi wants to compare with us?"

Yue Li said: "Don't worry, you will find out when you come to Shigu Tang tomorrow," saying that he took the painting from Yan Yan's hand.

Wang Yujue looked at Yueli and hesitated to speak: "Master Xie, can you give me this painting?"
