Chapter 133 1 gold
When the boy from the Lu family made a fuss, Su Ling became anxious.
The winner hasn't been decided yet, but the prize is so generous, we can't let the kid from the Lu family ruin it.
Doesn't that mean the poetry reading she organized was not of very good quality?
The other students were already eager to try, shouting, "Stop talking nonsense, let's see what happens."
"That's right, Lu's kid, don't be so arrogant. We will compete with the Prince Consort together."
This is not a competition at all, it's a naked act of fancying the glass wine utensils.
"Since Master Lu is determined to compete, please assess the price of my bet."
The deep red wine in the bottle is like a deep ruby, illuminated by the afternoon sun, sparkling with a mysterious light, rich and gorgeous.
Lu Sicong is also a connoisseur of valuables, but when faced with such a huge glass product, he was speechless for a moment.
"I heard someone bought a fist-sized glass cup from the Western Regions, and it was worth a thousand gold. Yours must have cost tens of thousands..."
A thousand taels of silver is a general term. This is the custom of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since Lu Sicong said this, Zhao Sheng seized the opportunity to speak.
"Good poetry is priceless. Since the young master of the Lu family knows what's good, I won't charge too much. I'll give this glass cup a thousand gold as the first prize at today's poetry gathering.
How about we use this wine, this glass, this poetry gathering, and the Dingzhou frontier as our theme?"
The treasure that was worth a fortune in people's minds suddenly lost its value and was taken out to compete with the Lu family's poetry.
The news spread downstairs again, and the students rushed forward. This time, everyone was there to listen to a poem.
"Mr. Lu, would you please go first?"
When Lu Sicong was reminded by Zhao Sheng, he was not ready yet and waved his hands hurriedly.
"Your Excellency is very intelligent, so please go first."
This theme itself was set up by Zhao Sheng. If it went off topic, he really couldn't find a suitable poem to suit the occasion.
Since someone has let me get ahead of them, then "what are you afraid of?"
"Glow-in-the-dark cup of fine grape wine. If you want to drink, play the pipa immediately. Lord Don't laugh while lying drunk on the battlefield. How many times have you fought in ancient times?"
Zhao Sheng blurted out the poem, which amazed everyone.
"Can poetry be written so quickly?"
Li Shaoqun also believed that he was no less than other students. The poems he recited fluently were considered masterpieces that could be passed down through the ages.
"My poem is ready, so let's invite Master Lu to perform!"
Zhao Sheng started to stir up trouble.
"I, I..." Lu Sicong had to pee urgently and wanted to escape, but he couldn't embarrass himself here.
"The glass cup is thick with amber, and the wine in the small trough is red with pearls. Let us not let this moment of meeting end, and do not wait until we are apart to leave someone empty-handed."
After saying that, Lu Sicong walked away.
However, Zhao Sheng thought this poem was already very good, and the reason was that Lu Sicong thought he had lost.
"I have something to do, goodbye!"
"Oh, I can't leave. The poem hasn't been decided yet, so where can I get the prize?"
Li Shuya was not so easy to talk to and reached out to stop Lu Sicong who was about to leave.
Seeing this, Rwanda also wanted to escape, so he searched his body, took out five hundred taels of silver notes, and handed them to Lu Sicong.
"That's all I have on me. Do you have more?"
Rwanda likes to show off his banknotes when he goes out, but Lu Sicong is a slightly better person.
However, this time he came to Dingzhou, he came for Su Ling, and he also brought some with him.
After collecting enough silver, he threw it in front of the organizer and got up to leave.
The wine in the large glass goblets was distributed to the participants, and the poetry reading came to an end in a happy environment.
The happiest thing about the Lantern Festival is the lantern festival at night.
When night falls, the whole city seems to be under a spell. The streets are decorated with lights and colorful lanterns are hung high, like stars falling on the earth.
The red lanterns symbolize good luck, the yellow lanterns emit warm light, and the blue lanterns add a mysterious atmosphere.
Unfortunately, as dusk approached, the two darlings, Ning Yue and Xin Yue, started yelling.
"Daddy, Xiaobao is hungry!"
"Hungry? Didn't you eat anything at the poetry reading?"
Mr. Zhao was curious. There were all kinds of food at the poetry reading, many of which were contributed by nearby businesses to promote the reputation of their products.
"The young lady said that the cakes inside were not tasty and she wanted to eat the ones at home."
Xiaotao followed behind, holding Xinyue and explained.
The snacks made by Zhao Sheng did not contain any additives, but he was still worried. After all, overnight food was not much better no matter how good it was.
"Then go back and eat. If you're really starving, whoever has snacks can take care of it first."
Two children were playing on the roadside, and a burnt smell could be smelled from a distance.
"Haha, the yellow hair is on fire!! Haha..." There was a little fat man next to him, who looked like a fool from a landlord's family, standing next to him and laughing wantonly.
"Hey! Kids, what are you doing? It's dangerous."
When Zhao Sheng saw this, he hurriedly asked Liang Dong to step forward, as the landlord's stupid son could easily cause a death like this.
The little man with his hair on fire was pulling at his hair anxiously. There was a little snow on the ground, which he grabbed and put on his head.
Liang Dong walked quickly forward, took off his cloak, covered the little man's head with it, and rubbed it repeatedly.
Although the fire was out, a large part of his hair was burned off and his face seemed to have some burns.
"Who are you? Minding other people's business?"
The little fat boy was unhappy. He felt that someone had ruined his bad taste.
At this time, several women came out from the yard next door. They just took a look and left when they saw that nothing was wrong.
The burned child was extremely skinny, about four and a half feet tall (ancient ruler). He was wearing thin clothes in the cold weather and straw sandals on his feet.
Zhao Sheng’s first feeling was that this little guy was a farmhand for the landlord.
"Whose family are you from? You're burning people to death, and no one's stopping you? Ask the head of the family to come out and answer."
At this time, the younger woman couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, Daya is your own daughter. You can't let Xiaonian bully her like this!"
The others looked at the woman called "sister-in-law" with disdain. How could a mother ignore the injustice suffered by her daughter?
The little fat boy was filled with anger. He had been bullying the person in front of him and no one dared to protect him, not even the person's biological mother.
So, he ran back to the yard, raised the torch that was always filled with oil, and rushed towards the skinny little man, trying to...
The thin man looked at everything in front of him, turned around and ran away in panic.
In fact, Liang Dong was right beside her, so there was no need to do this.
Maybe he had been frightened for a long time, and hiding in this way was his only hope of survival.
"Don't run, you little bitch! I'm going to burn you to death!"
The little fat boy exuded a violent aura, as if he really wanted to kill the girl.
"Stop! You scared the young lady! I want your whole family to die..."
Liang Dong tried to stop him while still talking.
"Bang!" The fat boy bumped into Liang Dong, and the torch flew out of his hand and flew towards the girl's back.
Zhao Sheng hugged Ning Yue and hurriedly protected Xiaobao's face with his hands. He spun sideways and kicked away the torch flying in the air.
He finally understood at this time that these people should be from the same family, but the thin one was a girl and was not liked by her family.
A typical scene of favoring boys over girls and abusing children!
Mr. Zhao is willing to deal with this matter!
Under his own nose, he openly defied the laws of the Great Zhou, especially the city regulations of Luancheng!
