Chapter 975 One Is More Powerful than the Other

When Gu Jinan came out with Gu Zhifu, he heard exactly such humiliating words.

There was also a group of children who were twice as tall as Brother Cheng, surrounding Brother Cheng, pointing at him and saying: "Yes, Brother Xue is right, you little country boy doesn't understand crossword puzzles at all. You can't do it." There is a problem with the crossword puzzle, so it won’t count this time!”

Gu Jinan was very angry. He would not get angry when someone scolded him. He would only find a way to crush the other person to death. But when the person being insulted like this was Brother Cheng, he was so sad that he wanted to cry.

The younger brother he raised had suffered enough since he was a child. Now that his family's life has improved, he doesn't want Brother Cheng to suffer any more.

But that's how the world is. Ever since there were aristocratic and wealthy families, farmers have been looked down upon. Mud-legged, country people, and lower-tier people are all derogatory terms for farmers.

This kind of contempt has been tacked on to you since you were born as a peasant. Even if you are admitted to the imperial examination, you will only gain face in front of peasants or ordinary wealthy households and landlords. In front of those real wealthy families and noble children, you will still be like dirt. general existence.

What made Gu Jinan even more sad was that he had long expected that Brother Cheng would be surrounded and criticized by so many people.

But Gu Jinan couldn't get angry. He had to suppress his anger and let Brother Cheng win. Only if he defeated these people with his talent could the rumor that he was an idiot be broken.

When Yao Youqian saw that these people were trying to act rogue, he pointed angrily at the children and said, "Don't bully others just because there are so many people. You can't afford to lose, right? If you can't afford to lose, don't compete with a child."

Then he pointed at Xue De and said, "How shameless are you to bully a child at your age?"

Lu Bai had been shouting all morning, and his throat was so dry that it hurt terribly. He also whispered beside him: "The answer to this crossword puzzle is indeed correct."

After hearing this, Xue De pushed Lu Bai directly and said angrily: "Go away, you, the last one, have the right to speak here?"

The Xue family has been very unlucky recently. Even if Xuede was admitted to Tongsheng, he was still very angry. He had lost a good relative and was disgusted by Mr. Yu. In the future, he would no longer be able to use Mr. Yu's connections as an official.

"Xue De, what are you doing? Do you dare to take action?" Yao Youqian stood in front of Lu Bai, pointed at Xue De and said, "You are the second to last person in the exam, what qualifications do you have to speak against Lu Bai?"

Seeing that Yao Youqian dared to point his nose and scold him, Xue De was very angry and started to scold Yao Youqian: "You are a cesspool, stay away from this young master, you smell like a stinker."

The ancient magistrate looked at the messy scene in front of him, his face darkening. What kind of nonsense is this? If he still makes such a fuss when he gets to Linhe Prefecture, his old face will be completely lost, and he will be laughed to death by the prefects of Jianghuai Prefecture!

"Shut up, everyone. Why are you making noise in the courtyard? Do you still have some scribes' rules?" The ancient magistrate asked in a deep voice, leading Gu Jinan down the steps and scanning the children present.

The children who had previously surrounded Brother Cheng looked like quails when they saw the ancient magistrate.

Yao Youqian bowed to the ancient prefect and replied: "I am reporting to the prefect that it was Xue De, Shi Feipeng, and Xie Jin who bullied Brother Gu's younger brother and laughed at him for being a fool. Brother Gu and younger brother were not convinced and after explanation Seeing that they didn't listen, he proposed to compete with them in crossword puzzles, but Xue De couldn't figure it out, so he accused Brother Gu of not knowing the crossword puzzles and the crossword puzzles he came up with were fake."

Xue De and the others didn't know where they heard that Brother Gu and his younger brother had been beaten unconscious by people from the old Gu family. It was Brother Gu who started to laugh at Brother Gu and his younger brother as soon as he went in to receive the business documents.

The Gu brothers were smart and refused to listen to the explanation, so they decided to compete with them. However, after they lost, Xued and the others became angry and began to act rogue.

After hearing this, the ancient prefect looked at Xue De and asked, "What Yao Tongsheng said is true."

The ancient prefect had no impression of Yao Youqian at first, but he and Lu Bai had been shouting at the yamen gate all morning, and it was difficult for the ancient prefect to recognize Yao Youqian.

Xue De didn't want to admit defeat and continued to quibble: "Sir, there is something wrong with the word puzzle that Gu Jincheng made. The word Qiu is not what he said at all."

Yao Youqian sneered: "There is a thing in the world. The left and right sides are different. One side likes to be green, the other likes to be red. One likes rain, and the other hates wind. It is obviously the word "Wo" on the left and the word "Fire" on the right. Don't they add up to one? Qiu? What’s wrong with such a crossword puzzle? If you can’t guess it yourself, then you’re cheating and blaming the problem on a child. How can you be a man?”

He was so angry that he pointed at Xue De and said: "My family is a night-scented person, but I, the night-scented person, look down on you, a hypocrite!"

After hearing this, Xue De was trembling with anger and said angrily: "Yao is rich, you are a lowly person, why do you scold me?"

Gu Jinan smiled, looked at Xue De and said: "If Brother Yao really wants to scold you, he won't say you are a hypocrite, but will laugh at you about your marriage. Do you really think you have a good reputation? You have a bad reputation. What happened is that instead of hiding at home and taking a good time, I came out to embarrass myself and seek scolding. As expected of someone who admires Mr. Shi, he has gone so wildly."

Xuede was divorced by Mr. Yu because he made his cousin pregnant. The storytellers talked about it for several days, and Xuede became the laughing stock of the whole city.

The ancient magistrate was silent. He was worthy of being the one Ming Shaoqing liked. He didn't open his mouth, but when he opened his mouth, he hit the point directly and tore off Xue De's face.

However, Gu Jinan's words were just an appetizer, there was something more serious.

Brother Cheng squeezed out from a group of young people who were more than ten years older than him, bowed to the ancient prefect and saluted: "Hello, prefect."

When the ancient prefect saw that the person speaking was a fair, tender, cute, and playful child, he raised a smile on his face, nodded and said: "You are Gu Jincheng, no need to be polite, just get up."

He looks quite smart, and doesn't look like he was beaten into a fool's errand as the rumors said.

Thinking of this, the ancient prefect was shocked, and finally understood the purpose of Gu Jinan bringing Gu Jincheng here. It should be that the Gu family had heard the rumors and wanted to bring Gu Jincheng out to meet people, so as to break his idiotic words.

The ancient prefect is about to break out in a cold sweat. This Gu Jin'an is very scheming. He is not even twenty yet. After another ten years of experience, he will definitely become a troublemaker. No wonder Ming Shaoqing wants to drag Gu Jin'an in early. Join the Ming Dynasty Party.

Brother Cheng took back his hand and said with a smile: "Master Magistrate, since the eldest brother of the Xue family said that the previous crossword puzzle does not count, then I will give him another one and you will be the judge, okay?"

"Of course you can." The ancient magistrate wanted to curry favor with Ming Shaoqing and was happy to give the Gu family face: "You can come up with the question."

Cheng Geer smiled at the ancient prefect and said: "There is a man in the courtyard. He holds benevolence and righteousness in his left hand and a three-foot sword in his right. He can break through all directions with one move. He can kill a heart and guess a word. As for the time limit, please ask the prefect. Call the shots.”

After hearing the word puzzle, the ancient prefect frowned and asked, "Who taught you this word puzzle?"

Brother Cheng: "No one taught me. I just played crossword puzzles with my family at home and figured it out on my own."

The second sister said that crossword puzzles are actually very simple. It depends on how you make them up. As long as you make them up reasonably and without flaws, it will work.
