Chapter 54 Go Your Own Way, Let Others Say It!
They met? Seeing that Zhang Chuwen and his sister both returned the greetings, Liu Yi put Xiaohui on the ground and came forward to join in the fun. He posted it to Zhang Chuchu and bowed to Du Zigui and said, "I guess this young master is the famous Sanyuan No. 1 talented young master Du Wei, who is so lucky to know."
"Uh, this young master is this?" Du Zigui saw Liu Yi approaching Zhang Chuchu, but Zhang Chuchu did not avoid it, let alone blame him. He was very surprised. He seemed to have never seen such a number before. He was Zhang Chuchu's relative?
"Oh, Mr. Du, Chu Wen will introduce you to you," Zhang Chu Wen walked out at this time and pointed at Liu Yi and said, "This young master's surname is Liu, his name is Yi Yi, and his younger sister's fiancé. Just a few days ago, our Zhang family had accepted the betrothal gift from Mr. Liu."
"Brother!" Zhang Chuchu shouted angrily, lowered her head, blushed and stopped talking. However, her shy look made all the men present swallow their saliva secretly.
"Oh?" Du Zigui looked at Liu Yi unexpectedly. If the Zhang family could accept the betrothal gift, then Liu Yi must have answered Miss Chuchu's difficult question. Thinking of the question that Miss Chuchu gave him two years ago, Du Zigui still shivered in his heart. Looking at Liu Yi's eyes, he couldn't help but admire him. If he could conquer Zhang Chuchu, a woman who was both proficient in poetry and essays and knowledgeable in mathematics, Liu Yi must not be simple. So he bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Mr. Liu, I'm lucky to know!"
"Young master, the judgment is about to begin, look," Du Zigui's servant reminded in a low voice.
"Well, I understand." Du Zigui responded lightly, then bowed to Liu Yi and the three of them and invited him: "The lantern competition is about to begin. If you are interested, you might as well go together."
Liu Yi’s family knows his own affairs. If you can write poems and essays, try to touch as little as possible without touching them. If you accidentally write a poem against the poem, it would be a great sin. Therefore, he politely refused: "Young Master Du's kindness, Liu is grateful for it, but now it's getting late. I want to send my younger sister back to rest, so it will be inconvenient to disturb you."
"Oh, that's a pity. I wanted to take this opportunity to see Mr. Liu's literary talent." Du Zigui secretly gave a wink at the person next to him, and then said to Liu Yi: "In this way, Mr. Du won't force him to stay. Mr. Liu please do whatever he wants."
"Hey, Mr. Liu is leaving? How can that happen? Mr. Liu is also a famous talented man in Sanyuan County. Now he has won the favor of Miss Chuchu again. His talent is within reach. How can he leave without leaving a single ink?" A scholar who was holding a folding fan in the middle of winter walked out of Dewey and blocked Liu Yi's way.
"Yes, brother Yi, the Lantern Fighting Competition was a poetry Lantern Fighting Competition held by Brother Zigui for the exchange between the three original talents. Brother Yi left like this. Isn't it a bit unkind? Or is it that brother Yi looked down on us, the three original scholars from the bottom of his heart?" Another scholar stood up, his words sharper than the previous one.
"Hey, Brother Gongsun, I'm pampering, how can I speak like this? Brother Liu has something to do, how can I force you?" Du Zigui spoke for Liu Yi in time, but his tone was lacking sincerity.
Liu Yi held Liu Xiaohui in his arms, nodded to Du Zigui as a thank you, and then smiled at the two scholars blocking the road, saying, "I wonder what these two young masters are called?"
"I'm not talented Gongsun Helan." The man who folded the folding fan waved the folding fan, and answered with his head raised in a casual manner.
"I'm not talented Pang Bingchen." The scholar behind also reported his own name.
"Oh, it turns out to be Brother Gongsun, and Brother Pang, fortunately," Liu Yi nodded and said, "Brother Gongsun said that Mr. Liu is a young talent. Has Brother Gongsun really heard of Mr. Liu's name? Also, Brother Pang accused Mr. Liu of being unkind and looked down on the Sanyuan Scholar. Does Brother Pang know Liu's true identity?"
Seeing that they couldn't answer, Liu Yiu replied by himself: "Liu is just a farmer. He hasn't read a few days ago. He has never considered himself a talented man, let alone a poem or a essay. It is important to know that farmers are farming and farming are my strengths. As for Liu's identity as a scholar, it's a bit nonsense. It seems that everyone present is worth a little higher than Liu's, right?"
"Farmer?" Du Zigui turned his head and looked at Zhang Chuwen, and he seemed to be unbelievable that the husband Zhang Chuchu chose would be a farmer.
When Zhang Chu heard that things had developed to this point, he stood up to help Liu Yiu and said, "Brother Gongsun, Brother Pang, my sister-in-law's family is about the same as my Zhang family, and they are all ordinary farmers, so he will never look down on you. Don't make things difficult for him anymore."
Farmer, everyone's eyes for Liu Yiu have changed. They are despised. Farmer is no different from the sludge in their hearts. It is really a disgrace to talk to a dirty farmer for so long.
Du Zigui was better, and he smiled awkwardly at Liu Yimeng. Gongsun Helan and Pang Bingchen directly left with their sleeves and their nostrils tilted to the sky.
Liu Yi smiled fearlessly at this. He had seen many such situations. Even in the 21st century when everyone was open-minded and everyone was equal, some people in the city would treat farmers like this, not to mention that it was in the Tang Dynasty. However, Zhang Chuchu's expression surprised Liu Yi a little. After these scholars showed disdain for Liu Yi, Zhang Chuchu raised his eyebrows and stared at every scholar present angrily. It seemed that they despised Liu Yi not but her.
This little girl really treats herself as a member of the Liu family. Liu Yiu suddenly felt that if she could really marry her home, it might be a good choice.
Similarly, Du Zigui also noticed Zhang Chuchu's expression. Thinking of Zhang Chuchu's previous husband selection question, he immediately despised Liu Yi. Even if Liu Yi was really a farmer, he must be a talented farmer.
"Brother Yi, the judgment is imminent, Du will not accompany you. Let's see you next time!" After everyone was finished, Dewey finally bowed to Liu Yigong and led his servants away.
"A group of snobs look down on people, a group of snobs! Humph!" Zhang Chuchu looked at Dewey and the others' departure and said angrily.
Liu Yiu said after hearing this, "Haha, Miss Chuchu can see through it thoroughly, but there seems to be no need to take snobbish words to heart. Miss Chuchu should not be angry anymore. There is a saying, "Go to your own way and let others say it!"
