Chapter 18 Literary Battle

  Today, Shen Ruobing wore a white long dress, with a few strands of gold threads on the hem of the dress to create a cloud-like pattern. Her long black hair, which was like a burst of cloth, was neatly combed down to her waist after being groomed, and a purple ribbon was tied there, which immediately showed her perfect and exquisite figure.

  Fresh and unworldly, like a fairy descending from the earth.

  However, her face was still covered with a black veil.

  And Shen Feixue also changed her previous armor dress today and put on a pink long dress with lace. The fiery red lace was decorated on the hem of the skirt, like a burning flame. She wore a pink headband on her head, fluttering by her ears, making her already rosy face even more charming.

  This ice and fire, watching each other from left to right, complemented each other, and immediately, like a raging fire igniting dry wood, made the eyes of the young masters in the courtyard glow.

  As Old Lady Shen sat down, Shen Defu quickly ran to the middle of the courtyard, and then loudly said some welcoming and polite words to all the young masters, and how difficult it was for the second young lady to pass the Divine Text Examination this time, and that she would have to rely on the young masters present in the future in the Academy of Literature.

  After speaking, Shen Defu looked at Old Lady Shen again, and Old Lady Shen shook her head. Shen Defu understood and immediately announced the official start of the banquet.

  The sumptuous dishes were quickly served, and immediately a group of young masters praised them.

  After three rounds of wine, some young masters could not sit still, and they stood up to congratulate Shen Feixue for passing the Divine Text Examination, and also wished Old Lady Shen a long life, but more people's eyes were fixed on Shen Ruobing, who was covered with black veil.

  Shen Ruobing seemed to be unaware of it, and sipped the dishes by herself, without even looking at these young masters.

  The elders were anxious when they saw this scene. Old Madam Shen was very smart. She scanned the expressions of the young masters and looked at the elders.

  She knew what they were thinking.

  She coughed lightly and stood up.

  "Today"

  After a long voice, the whole courtyard was quiet. Everyone stopped what they were doing. They knew that the highlight of today's celebration was finally coming.

  Old Madam Shen nodded gently and continued, "It is an honor for the Shen Mansion to have the young masters of the famous families present here today. You are all talented people of our Great Chu Dynasty. Although our Great Chu Dynasty was established by military force, its literary style is still prosperous. Therefore, I think that today's gathering is a rare gathering. Why don't you use today's scenery to stretch your talents?"

  The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

  "Okay"

  "What Old Madam Shen said makes sense"

  After Old Madam Shen finished speaking, the young masters also responded one after another.

  Stretching talents, this is already clear. It seems that the Shen Mansion's banquet today is to use scenery as the theme to test the talents of the young masters present and have a literary battle.

  Taking scenery as the theme is indeed the closest to the meaning of the divine book.

  "Mrs. Shen is too polite. Since Mrs. Shen has set the rules, the younger generation should abide by them. I am very lucky to be invited to attend the celebration of the second lady. I also hope to take this opportunity to learn from the young masters."

  While everyone was discussing, a man in his thirties, wearing a purple and gold brocade suit and with thick eyebrows, stood up and shook a white jade folding fan in his hand.

  Behind the man, four angry men stood on the left and right. Each man wore a set of silver armor and a uniform silver boots. Each rode a huge monster with dark blue fur, jade eyes, sharp claws and a tongue sticking out.

  Bringing bodyguards to a banquet

  Lin Yi, who was hiding in the corner, was confused when he saw this situation, and from his tone, he didn't know what the prince meant

  "It was Mingjin Hou"

  "I really didn't expect that Mingjin Hou would come to compete with us"

  "They are already in the Wenshu Academy, isn't this bullying"

  "Yes, this is unfair"

  Seeing Mingjin Hou stand up, the other young masters also talked about it.

  "Hehe Mingjin Hou, you already have five people in your family, are you going to compete with us here?" Just as everyone was talking, a man sitting not far from Mingjin Hou also stood up.

  "What are you talking about, Master Zhang? Those concubines in my family are all concubines, not worthy of being in high society. If the eldest lady does not abandon me, I will respect her as my principal wife. If the eldest lady does not want to, I can divorce all five concubines. Then I will be alone. Master Zhang, what else do you have to say?"

  Mingjin Marquis shook the white jade fan in his hand with a smile on his face. Everyone had already received the news of the celebration and knew the real purpose of the celebration and why they came. However, the Shen family did not explain it, and everyone kept it to themselves. But since the other party had pointed it out first, he naturally stopped shrinking and aimed directly at Shen Ruobing.

  But after laughing, when Mingjin Marquis looked at Master Zhang again, there was a faint flash of coldness in his eyes.

  "Hmph" Master Zhang snorted and stopped talking.

  "Since Lord Mingjin intends to compete with us, if we continue to be humble, it would be somewhat disrespectful. With Lord Mingjin's talent, I know he also hopes for a fair competition. Why don't we rely on our own abilities today and put aside our status? I wonder what Lord Mingjin thinks." Another young man also stood up.

  "Yes, that's right. Since Lord Mingjin wants to compete, let's have a fair competition."

  "This time, the Shen Mansion is hosting a banquet, Lord Mingjin must maintain his status."

  After the two young men stood up, almost everyone agreed, because they all knew that to fight Lord Mingjin, it was not something that one person could do, and they had to attack together.

  "Although I swear to win this time, I will never use my status to pressure others." Lord Mingjin naturally knew that the other party was provoking him, but he also knew that even if he, Lord Mingjin, used his status to pressure others.

  These people probably wouldn't retreat.

  After all, the Shen Mansion

  is so tempting

  Just talking about the wealth of the Shen Mansion, it will definitely make anyone excited, not to mention that the eldest daughter of the Shen Mansion, Shen Ruobing, is also very beautiful. Although she rarely shows her true face, everyone who has seen her is amazed.

  This also makes all the young masters in Dajing and even the entire Dachu Dynasty convinced.

  Mingjinhou swept his eyes over the crowd and gently shook the white jade fan in his hand. Although he was already in the spotlight at the beginning, this was expected.

  Lin Yi in the corner frowned as he listened to the arguments of these young masters.

  What's going on

  Why does a good literary duel feel like a martial arts match and blind date? Moreover, the topics of each young master seem to be related to the eldest daughter.

  Besides

  Looking at the expression of Old Lady Shen, there was no surprise at all

  Well

  This celebration is indeed a conspiracy

  The literary competition has not started yet, and a group of young masters are already eager to fight for it. This makes Shen Ruobing, who has been sitting upright, frown. Because she was forced by the pressure of the elders' council to reluctantly agree to observe the celebration, but now she is being fought over by this group of people like a commodity, which is really not her ideal.

  With a sigh, Shen Ruobing did not speak.

  With a "snap", at this moment, Shen Feixue, who had been sitting next to Old Lady Shen, jumped onto the chair.

  Then, as if by magic, she conjured up the long whip with purple flames in her hand, and raised it violently, and a purple afterimage flashed in the air.

  "What are you arguing about?" With a delicate shout, everyone immediately fell silent.

  Hundreds of eyes were staring at the second young lady's face, so everyone was wondering what tricks this super prodigal son of the Shen family would play next.
