Chapter 216 The Mysterious Talented Woman
At this point, Ye Lingshuang secretly glanced at Jiang Chengfeng and found that the latter was not angry, so she continued: "Brother Jiang, actually my classmate speaks straightforwardly, no matter who he is to, I hope Brother Jiang don't mind!"
Jiang Chengfeng grinned and said, "Actually, your classmate is right. I did this for a reason! To put it more clearly, it's just a marketing tactic. I didn't expect your classmate to see through it! By the way, what else did your classmate say?"
Ye Lingshuang thought for a moment and said, "She...she also said that she came up with this second couplet for no other reason than to prevent you from looking down on the scholars of Northern Tang!"
Jiang Chengfeng touched his nose and thought to himself that I had made these couplets just to advertise Yipinxuan, but I didn't expect that this unknown man would accuse me of despising the scholars of Beitang! However, this guy was quite arrogant. How could he represent the scholars of Beitang?
Jiang Chengfeng rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, Miss Ye, what is your classmate doing in Beijing?"
"This classmate of mine is a teacher in Jiankang Academy, and also the youngest and most talented chief academic officer in the Imperial College! She has been famous in the capital for more than ten years. I lived ! Speaking of which, this sister has helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to her!" Ye Lingshuang said.
Jiang Chengfeng touched his nose and thought to himself, this talented woman is a university professor! No wonder she can match his couplet! However, this girl is too arrogant, isn't she? I didn't provoke you, but you come to despise me?
Ah Hui had been listening, but when she heard that the person who came up with the second line was actually a woman, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed: "Sister Shuang, this sister is really amazing!"
Ye Lingshuang also showed a rare look of admiration, and nodded, "She is indeed amazing! If Brother Jiang goes to the capital in the future, you might as well visit her at Jiankang Academy!"
Visiting this girl who used to look down on me? Don't make me laugh! I'm not crazy! I don't care if you're a university professor! I don't give a shit about you!
Jiang Chengfeng smiled but didn't say anything.
Ye Lingshuang suddenly remembered something, looked at Jiang Chengfeng with a smile, and said, "Oh, right! My classmate also gave you a couplet and asked you to come up with the second line! She also said that if you come up with the second line, she would hang it in front of the gate of Jiankang Academy, so that it would complement your Yipinxuan!"
Jiang Chengfeng was somewhat tempted. If this was true, not only would he become famous, but Yipinxuan would also benefit greatly. I just didn't know what kind of couplet this female professor would come up with!
Seeing Brother Jiang hesitate, Ah Hui got anxious and said hurriedly: "Brother Jiang! Let's not write this couplet! Yipinxuan already has four excellent couplets, there is no need to add another one!"
Jiang Chengfeng naturally understood what the little girl was thinking. He rubbed her nose lovingly and said with a smile, "It's okay! Miss Ye, go ahead and tell me! I also want to see the absoluteness of this female teacher!"
Ye Lingshuang then took out a neatly folded white paper from her purse and handed it over, then leaned over to read it. So far, she herself didn't know what was written on the paper.
But there was a line of small words on the white paper - Scholar, scholar asked the gentleman, gentleman, gentleman.
Jiang Chengfeng touched his nose and thought to himself, this female professor is really naughty. She came up with this couplet. Is she really trying to embarrass me?
Jiang Chengfeng didn't say anything, just walked back and forth, thinking seriously. Ah Hui and Ye Lingshuang both looked at him nervously.
"I got it--" Jiang Chengfeng suddenly stopped, took out a piece of pencil, and wrote a line of small words on the back of the white paper - Not fast, not fast, chase the fast horse, the horse is fast, fast.
Ye Lingshuang spelled it carefully and smiled softly, "Brother Jiang is so talented. I admire him!"
Ah Hui excitedly hugged Jiang Chengfeng's arm, rubbing her smooth cheek against his arm gently, like a clingy and cute cat.
Jiang Chengfeng handed the white paper back to Ye Lingshuang and said with a smile: "Miss Ye, give this to her! And tell her that I don't ask her to hang the couplet in front of the academy gate, I just ask her not to presume to guess what others are thinking!"
Ye Lingshuang nodded with a smile.
Afterwards, Ah Hui pestered Jiang Chengfeng to tell her some interesting stories in Huazhou. She always listened to the storyteller's jokes, but how could they be as interesting as Brother Jiang's own stories?
When hearing about the copper coins being fished out of the oil pan, Ye Lingshuang couldn't help but sigh: "Everything has its own reason for development, but it is not easy to understand these reasons! Brother Jiang is well-informed, and is the most suitable person for Fang Zhi, a despicable villain who doesn't understand the laws of everything! However, I am a little curious, is the gem that Edward brought really so precious?"
Jiang Chengfeng chuckled and took out the huge diamond that Edward had given him from his arms. The two girls covered their mouths and exclaimed, which also attracted Luo Dongchuan and Uncle Luo who were talking on the side.
This diamond is so beautiful that it sparkles with colorful light under the dim light. It can be said that it has a fatal temptation to women. Even a girl like Ah Hui, who is indifferent, is attracted to it.
"Boss, this diamond is so beautiful! Where did you get it? I want to get one too!" Luo Dongchuan stared at it with his eyes wide open, almost drooling.
He was sweating. This thing is produced in Africa. We don't have it in Beitang! Originally, he was going to give this diamond to Ah Hui, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that every daughter-in-law should be given one! Ah Lin must get one, and Qingdie must get one too!
"Brother Jiang, this diamond is so beautiful!" Ah Hui also echoed.
"Edward told me that this diamond is called Dream Love! It is very rare even in the whole of France, but I only have one!"
Ye Lingshuang sighed and said, "This is the first time I've seen such a precious and beautiful gem!"
This is true. Although Ye Lingshuang was born into a family of officials and had seen countless gems such as agate and jade since childhood, this was the first time she had seen a diamond, and such a beautiful one at that. It was a dream love!
Jiang Chengfeng solemnly put the Dream Love into Ah Hui's hands and said with a smile: "Baby, Dream Love belongs to you now!"
Ah Hui was pleasantly surprised: "Brother, are you really going to give it to me?"
Jiang Chengfeng nodded with a serious .
Ah Hui threw herself into Jiang Chengfeng's arms excitedly, crying. She felt that she was the happiest woman in the world. She gently stroked this dreamy love with a look of reluctance in her eyes, but finally gave the diamond to Jiang Chengfeng.
"Brother, I've made up my mind! I can't accept it!"
Under Jiang Chengfeng's suspicious gaze, Ah Hui whispered, "There is only one Dream Love, and I am already satisfied that I can stay with my elder brother! Such a good gem should be given to Sister Ah Lin!"
