Chapter 25

As soon as the words "Xi Cai Yan Xiong" were uttered, many people burst into laughter. Even Jin Mulan couldn't help but smile. In an instant, it was as beautiful and moving as a hundred flowers in full bloom.

But Yan Xiong's teacher's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

And Yan Xiong understood after reading it that he was being tricked. But what he said was like water that was poured out, and he couldn't take it back. He suddenly trembled with anger, pointed at Shen Lang and said, "You, you..."

"Yes, you are stupid!" Shen Lang said: "Brother Yan Xiong, you have been so honest since childhood!"

Yan Xiong was about to explode with anger, and he had to come forward to argue and fight for a winner or loser.

At this time, his teacher, former Xuanwu City advocate Boyan said coldly: "Isn't it shameful enough to step back?"

The scholar Yan Xiong stepped back angrily, feeling everyone's mocking eyes, he could not wait to burrow into the ground.

The most cherished thing for a scholar like him is his reputation, and the nickname I'm a fool will be with him for at least a lifetime.

Even when you go to the exam, it will be affected.

Immediately, Yan Xiong said angrily, "Lord Earl, this is your Earl's House, and Shen Lang is your son-in-law. Do you want him to humiliate Sven and ruin Jin's reputation?"

Earl Xuanwu smiled and said nothing.

It is impossible for him to speak, a mere young scholar, if it is not because his teacher is the former city owner of Xuanwu City, he is not even qualified to enter this general hall, if such a small person asks him to answer, wouldn't he be exhausted to death .

Besides, Yan Xiong, a young scholar, openly stood up and questioned the marriage of the Earl's Mansion. He was already magnanimous as Earl Xuanwu without being held accountable.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Yan Xiong, you said those four words. I didn't say any dirty words."

Shen Lang added: "As for ruining the reputation of the Xuanwu Jin family, please rest assured. My Jin family is very strong, and even such a trivial matter can't ruin the reputation. The reputation of my Jin family lies in the hearts of the people, and it lies in the previous dynasties of Xuanwu Earls to the people. Cherish, loyalty to the monarch, not the blank teeth of you shameless scholars."

As soon as these words came out, Earl Xuanwu was slightly stunned, and it really went to his heart.

Before Shen Lang said that when he married Jin Mulan, he even had the heart to kill.

But now I feel that this Shen Lang is a good person, and he understands his heart very well.

The reason why the Earl of Xuanwu is magnanimous is because he loves the people of Xuanwu City from the bottom of his heart. But he is definitely not that kind of pedantic person. He cherishes every feather on his body, and his son-in-law is nothing to scold people. As long as he is courteous and disciplined, he is fine.

And when Xu Qianqian heard Shen Lang's words, she couldn't help being shocked?

Could this eloquent person be Shen Lang? How dumb he was before, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

After being kicked out of the Xu family, he has changed so much?

"Shameless!" Zhang Jin couldn't help but whisper.

This is just the time to go to the church, and you Shen Lang kept saying that we are the Jin family. You really know how to hug your thighs, can you point your face?

However, Shen Lang's words provoked a big man.

Former Xuanwu City advocate Boyan, he is not only Yan Xiong's teacher, but also a typical scholar.

Before Shen Lang humiliated Yan Xiong, he only regarded it as a game for young people.

Now that Shen Lang keeps talking about being a shameless scholar, he is hitting him in the face. Zhang Boyan must teach this boy a lesson, lest he recognize a few rare words and not know the sky is high.

"Student Shen, it seems that you are proficient in uncommon words?" Zhang Boyan said.

Shen Lang said: "I dare not say that I am proficient, but I only understand a little."

"I have a word here. These students of mine can't recognize them if they are not good enough. I wonder if student Shen is willing to explain their doubts?" Zhang Boyan said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became more energetic, the students were slapped in the face, and the teacher personally appeared.

Who is Zhang Boyan, the former Xuanwu City Lord, who has read a lot of books, and especially likes to visit historical sites. After retiring, he opened a school in the city, and many scholars worshiped him as a teacher. How profound is his knowledge?

The Earl of Xuanwu is the owner of the entire Xuanwu City. Why does the former city owner have to fight against the Earl's Mansion?

This will involve the New Deal. Since more than ten years ago, the monarch has begun to take back fiefs and power from these old-fashioned nobles.

Previously, the position of Xuanwu City Lord had always been held by someone from the Earl's Mansion, usually the younger brother of the Earl of Xuanwu.

About eleven years ago, the Earl of Xuanwu gave up the position of the city lord and replaced it with someone sent by the monarch.

Since then, every city lord has had a mission, that is, to draw a clear line with Count Xuanwu and fight secretly.

Shen Lang said with a smile: "Since Master Zhang wants to test me, then I will give it a try."

This time, both Earl Xuanwu and Jin Mulan had no intention of stopping him. Shen Lang had just gotten his face back, so even if he lost to Zhang Boyan at this time, it was nothing.

What kind of person is Zhang Boyan? A famous scholar.

Shen Lang just studied in the town school for a few years, isn't it normal to lose to him?

Seeing that his teacher came forward for him, the scholar Yan Xiong was overjoyed. He hurried forward to grind ink for his teacher, spread out the red paper, and respectfully handed the wolf howl brush with both hands.

After Zhang Boyan took it, he wrote a word on the paper.

Everyone gathered around, and Jin Mulan also looked over.

"Good word!"

"Elegant and profound, it can't be written without decades of knowledge."

After Zhang Boyan finished writing, the crowd cheered.

The calligraphy skills of this former city lord of Xuanwu are indeed very good, and he can see through the back of the paper.

However, the words he wrote were unknown to everyone present.

"Master Zhang's words are really good, every stroke and every painting is intoxicating."

"Yeah, it can't be written without decades of effort."

"However, what word is that?"

"do not know!"

"do not know!"

Everyone present shook their heads, but no one recognized it.

No matter whether it is a scholar or a master, including Mulan and the count, none of them can recognize this word.

Someone said: "Master Zhang likes to excavate and study ancient monuments. This must be the ancient inscription from where he got it. It is extremely rare. It is not in the book at all, so no one recognizes this word?"

Listening to what everyone said, Zhang Boyan felt a little relieved.

This word was indeed rubbed from an ancient inscription when he was excavating the ancient monument. He still knew what it was by referring to the context. It was not in the book at all.

Therefore, except for those who have personally read the inscription, no one understands the word at all.

Shen Lang stepped forward and took a look, and found that it turned out to be a Xiao Zhuan.

This word is very simple, that is, the word for sheep is removed with two horizontal lines, and it is written in simplified Chinese as ￥.

Every modern Chinese is familiar with it, because this word is the symbol of RMB, which is read as Yuan in modern times.

But in ancient times, this was definitely not the meaning of Yuan, what exactly it meant, and how to read it, Shen Lang really didn't know.

In the Dayan Dynasty, apart from a very small number of people who excavated ancient monuments and would study Xiaozhuan, others did not touch it at all, because this world did not use Xiaozhuan as a writing tool at all, it was just a hobby of a small group of people.

So the difficulty of this word is really a bit insane.

If it was on Shen Lang himself, he would definitely lose this time.

But he has an alien laptop inside him, which has been integrated with the brain.

His eyes just glanced, and he immediately scanned the answer from the database.

Earl Xuanwu said: "Shen Lang, this word is extremely difficult. If it hadn't happened to be seen on an ancient inscription, no one would know it, and it would be nothing if you didn't know it."

Then he added: "Your parents refused to attend the church, so you and Mulan should go see the second elder."

This is to find a decent step for Shen Lang.

After winning a mere Shen Lang, Zhang Boyan didn't care.

But one word stumped everyone present. The former city lord of Xuanwu was unavoidably proud of himself, with his hands behind his back, looking as lonely as snow.

Shen Lang said: "Master Zhang, if I guessed correctly, don't you know how to pronounce this word correctly? You should know the meaning of this word from the context of the inscription, but the pronunciation is unknown."

"Yes, it is true." Zhang Boyan said: "But knowing the meaning is more important than the pronunciation, isn't it?"

Shen Lang said: "It's a coincidence, I just know how to pronounce this word."

"Impossible." The scholar Yan Xiong said: "My teacher said it all, and he only knew the meaning of this word based on the context of the inscription, so no one knows how to pronounce this word at all."

Shen Lang said: "If I know how to pronounce this word, and I also know what it means, how about you slap yourself? Because you just talked nonsense and scolded me for being brainless."

Yan Xiong said, "What if you don't know each other? Or do you admit it wrong?"

Shen Lang said: "Then I will slap myself."

"Okay, it's a deal." Yan Xiong, a scholar, said: "Everyone present testified."

Lord Zhang Boyan didn't stop him, because it was politically correct to go against the Earl's Mansion. Shen Lang was too arrogant tonight, so he should teach him a lesson.

Shen Lang said: "This word has the same pronunciation as the word forbearance."

"Haha..." Yan Xiong, a scholar, said: "If you say that you are forbearance, you are forbearance? Who can prove it?"

Shen Lang said: "And the meaning of this word should be related to thorns."

As soon as these words came out, Xuanwu Qiancheng Zhongzheng Boyan's face changed instantly, revealing completely unbelievable eyes.

This, this is impossible!

what the hell? This kind of word without a source, Shen Lang even recognizes it? And do you know how to read?
