As soon as the four words "Scholar Yan Xiong" were read out, many people laughed loudly, and even Jin Mulan couldn't help but smile. In an instant, it seemed as beautiful and charming as flowers bloomed.

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

After Yan Xiong finished reading it, he understood that he was fooled. But the words he said were like water splashed out and could no longer be taken back. He was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at Shen Lang and said, "You, you..."

"Yes, you are stupid / silly!" Shen Lang said: "Brother Yan Xiong, you have been so honest since you were a child!"

Yan Xiong was almost furious and had to come forward to argue and fight for a win or a loss.

At this time, his teacher, former Xuanwu City lord Zhang Boyan, said coldly: "Is it not embarrassing to retreat?"

The scholar Yan Xiong retreated angrily. Feeling everyone's ridiculous gaze, he immediately wanted to get into the ground.

What scholars like him cherish the most is reputation. I am stupid. This nickname is at least for the rest of my life.

Even when taking the exam, it will be affected.

Suddenly, Yan Xiong said angrily: "Sir, this is your Earl's Mansion. Shen Lang is your son-in-law. Could you just let him be so insulting and corrupting the reputation of Jin's family?"

Earl Xuanwu smiled and said nothing.

It is impossible for him to speak. If it weren't for his teacher being the former lord of Xuanwu City, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter this general hall, if such a small person had to answer questions, wouldn't he be exhausted?

Besides, Yan Xiong, a young scholar, openly stood up to question the Earl's Mansion's marriage, and he was already magnanimous to Earl Xuanwu.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Yan Xiong, those four words are what you said, and I didn't say half of the dirty words."

Shen Lang said again: "As for destroying the reputation of the Xuanwu Jin family, please rest assured. My Jin family is very powerful, and this little thing cannot destroy the reputation. My Jin family's reputation lies in the hearts of the people, in the love for the people and the loyalty to the kings of the past dynasties, rather than in the blank words of you shameless scholars."

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

When Shen Lang said he would marry Jin Mulan, he even wanted to kill people.

Now I think Shen Lang is quite good and understands his heart very well.

The reason why Count Xuanwu is generous is because of his heartfelt care for the people of Xuanwu City. But he is definitely not a pedantic person. He cares about every feather on his body. What is his son-in-law scolding? As long as he is polite and honest, he will be fine.

When Xu Qianqian heard Shen Lang's words, she couldn't help but be shocked?

Could this person with a good tongue be Shen Lang? How dull he was before, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

After being kicked out of the Xu family, how could he have changed so much?

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

Just now, you, Shen Lang, are always talking about our Jin family. You are really good at hugging your thighs. Can you be more handsome?

However, Shen Lang's words have a big shot.

The former Xuanwu City lord Zhang Boyan was not only Yan Xiong's teacher, but also a typical scholar.

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

Now Shen Lang is always shameless scholars, just slapping him in the face. Zhang Boyan must teach this kid a lesson so that he will not know that the world is high and the earth is rich if he recognizes a few rare words.

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

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

"I have a word here. I can't recognize these students of mine. I wonder if Student Chen is willing to solve their doubts?" Zhang Boyan said.

As soon as these words were said, everyone was immediately energetic, the student was slapped in the face, and the teacher took the stage in person.

Who is Zhang Boyan? The former lord of Xuanwu City, he is well-read and especially likes to inspect ancient monuments. After retirement, he opened a school in the city, and many scholars regarded him as his teacher. How profound is his knowledge?

Earl Xuanwu is the master of the entire Xuanwu City. Why does this former city lord still have to fight against the Earl's Mansion?

This involves the new policy. From more than ten years ago, the king began to regain fiefs and power from these old nobles.

Previously, the position of the Lord of Xuanwu City was always sent by people in the Earl's Mansion, and they were usually the younger brother of Count Xuanwu.

About eleven years ago, the Count Xuanwu Mansion gave up the position of city lord and the monarch sent someone to serve as the king.

Since then, every city lord has a mission, which is to draw a clear line with the Count Xuanwu and fight in secret.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Since Lord Zhang wants to take the exam, I'll give it a try."

This time, Earl Xuanwu and Jin Mulan had no intention of stopping them. Shen Lang had already brought back his face, and it would be nothing even if he lost to Zhang Boyan at this time.

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 mentor stood up for him, scholar Yan Xiong was immediately overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to polish ink for his mentor, spread out the big red paper, and then respectfully handed the wolf howling brush on both hands.

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

Everyone surrounded him, and Jin Mulan also looked over.

"Good word!"

"Elegant and profound, and you can't write it without decades of foundation."

After Zhang Boyan finished writing, everyone cheered.

This former city lord of Xuanwu is indeed very well written in calligraphy, and his strength is beyond the back of paper.

However, no one knew the words he wrote.

"Mr. Zhang's handwriting is so good. Every stroke and every stroke makes people intoxicated."

"Yes, I can't write it out without decades of hard work."

"But, what's the word?"

"have no idea!"

"have no idea!"

Everyone present shook their heads, and no one could recognize them.

No matter it is a scholar or a juren, including Mulan and the Count, they cannot recognize this word.

Someone said: "Mr. Zhang likes to dig and study ancient monuments. Where did he get this ancient inscription? It is extremely rare. It is not in books at all, so no one recognizes this word?"

Listening to everyone's words, Zhang Boyan felt a little relieved.

This word was indeed copied from an ancient inscription when he was digging out a monument. He only found out what word this is based on the context, but it was not available in the book at all.

Therefore, no one except those who have read the inscription personally understand this word.

Shen Lang stepped forward and looked at it and found that it turned out to be a small seal script.

This word is very simple, just remove the two horizontal lines of the word "Sheep" and write it in simplified Chinese.

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

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

In the Great Yan Dynasty, except for a very small number of people who dig out ancient monuments and study Xiaozhang, others did not touch them at all, because the world does not use Xiaozhang as a writing tool at all, and it is just a hobby of a small group of people.

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

If he had to rely on Shen Lang himself, he would definitely lose this time.

But he was carrying an alien laptop inside, which was already integrated with his brain.

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

Earl Xuanwu said: "Shen Lang, this word is extremely difficult. If it weren't for the time being seen on the ancient inscription, no one would know it, and you don't know it or nothing."

Then he said, "Your parents refused to attend the church. You and Mulan go to see the two elders."

This is to find a decent step for Shen Lang.

Zhang Boyan doesn't care if he wins a mere Shen Lang.

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

Shen Lang said: "Mr. Zhang, if I was not wrong, do you know how to pronounce this word correctly? You should have learned the meaning of this word based on the context of the inscription, but the pronunciation is unknown."

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

Shen Lang said: "What a coincidence, I just happened to know how to pronounce this word."

"Impossible." said the scholar Yan Xiong: "My teacher said it. He only knew the meaning of the word based on the context of the inscription, so no one knew how to pronounce it."

Shen Lang said: "If I know how to pronounce this word and also know what it means, how about you slap yourself in the face? Because you just talked nonsense and called me crazy."

Yan Xiong said: "What if you don't know each other? Or you admit your mistake?"

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

"Okay, one word is certain." Scholar Yan Xiong said: "Everyone present testified."

Lord Zhang Boyan did not stop him because it was politically correct to go against the Earl's Mansion. Shen Lang was too arrogant tonight and should teach him a lesson.

Shen Lang said: "This word is homophonetic to the word Ren."

"Haha..." said the scholar Yan Xiong: "If you say you think of the chanting, just think of the chanting? Who can prove it?"

Shen Lang said: "And the meaning of this word should be in harmony with the thorn."

As soon as these words were spoken, the face of Zhang Boyan, the former city lord of Xuanwu, changed instantly, and he showed a completely unbelievable look.

This, this is impossible!

Are you a ghost? Shen Lang actually recognizes this kind of word without source? And he knows how to pronounce it?
