C10 Question Bamboo

"Young Master Cai."

Wherever Cai Shaozhi went, many people would speak up.

Wang Mao's expression kept changing.

Having been humiliated by Lin Xiao in public, Cai Shaozhi was still one of his own after all. To think that he would ask Lin Xiao to admit his mistakes as soon as he opened his mouth. This result was something that the grumpy Wang Mao could not accept!

But he had to give Cai Shaozhi face.

Looking at Cai Shaozhi again, their gazes met, and Wang Mao seemed to understand what this Young Master Cai was trying to do.

Cai Shaozhi had long been interested in Chiang Jiao, and Lin Xiao was Chiang Jiao's husband. Young Master Cai wanted to borrow Wang Mao's hand to embarrass the husband of the number one beauty in front of everyone!

Wang Mao walked in front of Lin Xiao and said arrogantly: "Lin Xiao, did you hear what Young Master Cai said?"

"Today, I, Wang Mao, will give Young Master Cai face. If you kneel down and apologize to me, this matter will be over."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gazes of everyone in the room fell on Lin Xiao once again.

"Are you sure you want me to kneel?" Lin Xiao took a step forward with a smile on his face.

"Or am I?" Wang Mao sneered.

Meeting Lin Xiao's gaze, Wang Mao suddenly recalled the scene of him being filled with water just now. His expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously took two steps back. Then, anger filled his heart as he said with a fierce gaze, "Idiot, kneel down, do you hear me?"

"Wang Mao, do you have the right to make him kneel?"

A clear voice sounded, causing everyone to look over.

In an instant, the eyes of these young geniuses lit up.

Moonlight gauze, black hair lightly tied up.

She walked out from the crowd like a goddess descending from a stage.

The young miss of the Chiang family, Chiang Jiao!

Seeing Chiang Jiao, Wang Mao immediately lost his confidence.

Everyone knew that Cai Shaozhi was extremely moved by Chiang Jiao, and angering Chiang Jiao was equivalent to indirectly angering Cai Shaozhi.

The reason why they dared to tease Lin Xiao just now was because Chiang Jiao was not around. No one had expected things to develop to such an extent. Not only did he, Wang Mao, not make Lin Xiao the biggest joke of the night, he had even been forced to drink a cup of substantial river water, causing him to lose all face.

Chiang Jiao directly protected Lin Xiao.

She did not ask what had happened to Lin Xiao. They had been married for three years, and Lin Xiao had been humiliated by others. He had never told her about it, nor would he cause trouble for anyone. Chiang Jiao was sure that it was Wang Mao and the others who were bullying Lin Xiao.

"Miss Chiang, how have you been?" Cai Shaozhi calmly signaled to Chiang Jiao.

Chiang Jiao nodded lightly, then looked at Wang Mao and said: "Wang Mao, what are you doing?"

Wang Mao glared fiercely at Lin Xiao, he felt nauseous in his stomach, "He gave me a cup of water!"

Chiang Jiao's beautiful eyes swept across the drenched clothes on Wang Mao's chest, and turned to look at Lin Xiao in surprise.

For the past three years, Lin Xiao had been a man of few words. He had never taken the initiative to socialize with others, and he had never retaliated in the Chiang family. But today, he had actually learned how to fight?

"Tonight is the Orchid Poetry Club, and the Prefecture has ordered us to drink to liven things up. Since Lin Xiao doesn't drink, what's wrong with giving you a glass of water?" She did not believe that Lin Xiao would do anything to Wang Mao.

Wang Mao immediately ended his words.

Even if he was given two more guts, he wouldn't dare to say that there was filth in the river in front of Chiang Jiao.

With Chiang Jiao here, Cai Shaozhi might not help him.

"Magistrate Loo will be at the pleasure boat soon. We should go and welcome him. Lin Xiao, follow me." Chiang Jiao did not say anything else. He brought Lin Xiao out of the door of the pleasure boat and waited outside.

There were a lot of people attending the poetry meeting today, and she didn't want Lin Xiao and herself to be surrounded by onlookers.

Seeing the two of them leave, everyone in the cabin had different expressions on their faces.

"Bastard, I, Wang Mao, will not let this matter go just like that!" Wang Mao's face was filled with unwillingness.

"Brother Wang, there is still a long way to go. The wise man does not care about short-term gains and losses." Cai Shaozhi walked to Wang Mao's side with a faint smile on his face. He patted his shoulder and said, "Miss Chiang will not stay by the abandoned son of the Lin family forever. Calm down."

The pleasure boat leaned against the shore. At this moment, there were already many people waiting on the shore.

Not long after, the guards led the soldiers to open up a path, and a large horse pushed through the crowd as a red horse carriage came running over.

The groom reined in the horse and set the stool, and a middle-aged man of no more than forty jumped out of the cart. He had a beard under his chin, and his hair was in perfect order.

"This is Loo Feng, Magistrate Loo. He used to be a member of the army of B City, both civil and military. Seeing that his parents were old, the Prefecture left him in the magistrate's office to act as a judge and take care of his wife and children."

The young geniuses at the side discussed in low voices, and Lin Xiao couldn't help but look at Magistrate Loo.

There was a completely opposite murderous aura in his scholarly aura. These two auras seemed extremely profound on the same person.

Cai Shaozhi brought his men to welcome Magistrate Loo, and everyone followed him onto the pleasure boat.

"Greetings, Lord Loo." As soon as they entered the pleasure boat, the handsome men bowed and spoke.

Loo Feng pressed his hand and said: "Everyone, there is no need to be so polite. Since this is a poetry gathering, we should use poetry to make friends and show off our talents. If we compare our status and write poetry, wouldn't that be a hindrance?"

Everyone immediately agreed.

"Lord Loo treats us like his master and brother. Since the lord has said so, then there is no need for you all to be detained too much." Cai Shaozhi said with a smile on his face, as if other than Magistrate Loo, he was the most important person in the pleasure boat.

"Young Master Cai is right. Since the pleasure boat has already opened, please begin." As soon as Loo Feng's voice fell, someone immediately brought a brush and ink. He dipped the brush into the ink and drew a few brush strokes, creating a few clumps of tender bamboo.

"This question was personally written by the Prefecture. Please write your poems. Those who are beautiful, someone will make a copy and send it to the government office for recording."

Bamboo?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The geniuses looked at each other. Before they could come up with an answer, Cai Shaozhi suddenly spoke.

"In the past few years, many of your masterpieces have been sent to the magistrate's office. Only one person has yet to write a poem on the pleasure boat." Cai Shaozhi walked in front of Lin Xiao and said, "Lin Xiao, since you're willing to come to the Orchid Poetry Club, you must have a lot of good works on your mind. Why don't you be the first one?"

Cai Shaozhi originally wanted to make a fool of Lin Xiao, so his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of frivolity.

Wasn't he deliberately making things difficult for a quiet and slow-witted person?

Everyone looked at each other, and Chiang Jiao also frowned. Lin Xiao was not accomplished in literature or martial arts, so he definitely could not do it. Furthermore, everyone knew that Lord Loo had extremely high requirements for poetry. Cai Shaozhi, this was on purpose to let Lin Xiao be humiliated and spurned!

Chiang Jiao was about to fly off the handle, but Lin Xiao quietly held her hand.

Looking back with his bright eyes, Lin Xiao gave her a reassuring look.

"Lin Xiao, you can't do it, right?"

Wang Mao, who was standing beside him, sneered: "The Orchid Poetry Club was personally organized by the Prefecture for scholars and scholars. Anyone who stands here is a scholar or a beauty who is filled with books and poems. If you can't even compose a single poem, that would be deceiving the Prefecture. Can you bear the responsibility for this crime?"

"It's just a question. There are no special requirements?" Lin Xiao ignored Cai Shaozhi and Wang Mao, and looked at Loo Feng and Magistrate Loo.

But?

From his tone, it seems that you still think it's quite simple?

They all looked at him with disdain. [He is just an abandoned son-in-law. He hasn't spoken much in the past three years. How could he be so arrogant? Does he know how to rhyme?]

"The Prefecture only talks about bamboo and nothing else."

Loo Feng also felt that Lin Xiao's words were arrogant, so he said: "Hearing Young Master Lin's words, it seems like you already have a plan? Since that's the case, then I'll add a condition."

"I'll give you a quarter of an hour."

"If you can't do it, Young Master Lin, please get off the ship immediately."

Lin Xiao smiled and shook his head: "It's too long. In a quarter of an hour, I can make three songs, and if I can do it, Lord Loo will grant me one condition."
