"Flowers? I like chrysanthemums. They are fragrant and elegant, and they are incompatible with the world." Master Wang didn't know why and said, "Why do you ask this?"

"I still prefer orchids."

"Eh... I think peonies are better, bright and elegant, elegant and luxurious."

"I think..."

Seeing all the masters talking about their favorite flowers, Xiao Fan couldn't help but look at Master Zou: "What about you, teacher?"

Master Zou gently stroked his goatee under his chin and thought slightly: "I like a lot of flowers. If I had to say what I love most? I think plum blossoms are my favorite."

"This Aoxue Hanmei is tenacious, indomitable, independent, and constantly striving for self-improvement. This is the character that our generation of literati pursue!"

"Mei Huahua has a noble nature and a proud body. This is indeed what we scholars should pursue." Xiao Fan agreed.

"In that case," Master Zou revealed a sly look: "I only knew Zhong Ping that you were good at calligraphy. Today I saw these paintings hanging on your wall, and I didn't expect that your paintings are also first-class. Then paint a picture of cold plum blossoms for me.

How’s the picture?”

Huh? Xiao Fan looked at Master Zou in astonishment.

No, sir, is your map of Yan State too short? The map is completely exhausted so quickly?

Also, isn't your transition a bit too rigid? Aren't we talking about flowers? Why did it suddenly involve paintings?

But since the teacher asked for a painting, it was naturally impossible for Xiao Fan to refuse: "Teacher, if you have something to ask for, the student will definitely not shirk it and will do his best to draw you a picture of winter plum blossoms that will satisfy you."

In fact, Xiao Fan also knew that Master Zou's request for paintings in public was not just for his paintings, but also to make him famous. After all, the people present were all literati from Qiantang and even Hangzhou, and after collecting it, he would naturally invite his friends to share the appreciation.

In short, this wave is Qin Shihuang looking in the mirror - a win-win situation!

Master Zou got the painting he wanted, Xiao Fan became famous, and a world where no one was hurt was achieved.

When people around him heard this, they all lamented that Mr. Zou was so cunning and used his status as a teacher to ask for his students' paintings.

They had all seen Xiao Fan's paintings just now, and naturally wanted to ask for them, but Master Zou had already spoken first, so naturally they could only wait until later, and it would definitely not be free of charge.

"You asked us what flowers we like, but what does this have to do with you marrying Mrs. Zhao?" Mrs. Wang asked puzzledly.

"Just now, all the masters have mentioned their favorite flowers, including plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums, peonies, etc." Xiao Fan looked around at all the masters: "But my favorite is the lotus."

Lotus? Several ladies looked at Xiao Fan in surprise after making eye contact.

"I know that many of you are confused. I have an article in my mind. Once I write it, you will understand it after reading it!"

Without waiting for anyone's reaction, Xiao Fan started writing on the paper with the pen and ink prepared by the restaurant.

"The flowers of land and water are so lovely that they are so beautiful... I only love the lotus that comes out of the mud but is not stained, and washes the ripples clean without being evil... It can be viewed from a distance but not played with."

In just a few moments, Xiao Fan wrote a eloquent "Tales of Love and Lotus" in one fell swoop.

From the moment Xiao Fan started writing, the people around him slowly gathered around.

But as if they were afraid of disturbing him, the onlookers didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

After Xiao Fan finished writing and put down the wolf hair in his hand, everyone who reacted started to scream in surprise.

"Good! I can emerge from the mud without being stained, and I can wash away the pure ripples without being evil!"

"It is straight from the inside to the outside, without vines or branches, and the fragrance spreads far and clear. This is indeed what a gentleman does. Scholars like us should do this, and don't do those things that are like flies and dogs!"

...

In the midst of a bunch of praise articles, I suddenly heard a scholar from the academy say weakly: "Am I the only one who thinks the word Zhong Ping is very good?"

As soon as this man spoke, he saw the people around him looking at him strangely, so he had to say awkwardly: "Ha... you guys keep going, keep going!"

After Xiao Fan finished writing, he didn't care about other people's reactions. He looked at everyone and said loudly: "Just now, Mrs. Wang felt pity for me and asked me why I wanted to marry Mrs. Zhao. I think I will sing outside Donghua Gate in the future.

Not only will she not be able to help me, she will also add obstacles to my journey to success."

Xiao Fan looked around the crowd and continued: "Many of you are my teachers and classmates, and you all understand my situation. I also know that you don't understand my approach, but what I want to say is that my thoughts are all

In this article.”

"Although Zhuo Jing was born in a bad family, she did not wait for anyone with sex when she was a native. She left her native place and opened a tea shop to support herself. She is also kind-hearted and has a strong character. Just like a lotus, it emerges from the mud but remains unstained.

She is innocent but not evil. How come such a woman is not worthy of love?"

Xiao Fan saw that many people lowered their heads in thought after listening to his words, so he continued: "Moreover, attacking a woman based on her background, is this what a gentleman does?"

"I am not talented, but I am willing to be a lotus pole that is straight in the middle and has no vines or branches, the fragrance is far away and clear, and the plants are neat and tidy. Just like a gentleman, cultivate your moral character and cultivate your character, rather than those villains who only form cliques for personal gain and work around the world all day long.

.”

"In this way, the clumsy thorn is a lotus that emerges from the mud and remains unstained, and I am determined to be a lotus stem that is straight in the middle and has no vines or branches. Isn't it a perfect match?"

"Well said!" Ning Liheng shouted loudly.

He can sympathize with Xiao Fan and Zhao Pan'er's feelings.

Just like him and Su Jiang'er, if he didn't really like Su Jiang'er, how could he, a well-off scholar, choose to marry into the Su family and become the despised son-in-law.

"Yes, eldest brother and sister-in-law are a perfect match!" Chai Zongliang and He Zhenwei agreed. They and their wives can be considered true love, so much that they are afraid of their wives. In the Song Dynasty, their brothers were aliens.

"Fan Lang!"

Xiao Fan followed the sound and found Zhao Pan'er standing at the door holding a pot of wine.

"When did you come?" Xiao Fan took Zhao Paner's hand and looked at her and said softly.

"I'll be here just after you finish writing."

Zhao Pan'er's voice was very low. What Xiao Fan just said and the crowd of so many people watching made her a little shy.

Xiao Fan didn't care what others thought, he just pulled Zhao Pan'er into his arms.

"ah!"

Zhao Pan'er, who was momentarily unbalanced, spilled the wine in her hand directly on Xiao Fan.

Looking at Zhao Pan'er who looked at him with reproachful eyes, Xiao Fan turned around awkwardly and said to everyone: "Sorry, excuse me, I'm going to change clothes."

Zhao Pan'er was pulled away by Xiao Fan, leaving only the people in Yiyuan Pavilion looking at each other.

I don't know how long it took, but Ning Liheng broke the embarrassment: "Come on, everyone, I just made a poem, please give me some pointers when I read it out."

At the same time, in the changing room of the restaurant.

"You can just change your clothes. Why did you bring me here? I still have to greet the guests." Zhao Pan'er opened her eyes wide and said coquettishly.

Xiao Fan took off his wet clothes and hugged Zhao Pan'er: "Pan'er, did you hear what I just said?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Pan'er hugged his waist and buried her head in his arms and whispered.

"From then on, you will be my lotus, and I will be your lotus pole. We will never be separated." Xiao Fan said, lowering his head and stroking the top of Zhao Pan'er's head, smelling the fragrance of her hair.

"good!"
