Chapter 818: An Unexpected Victory!

same fate.Luckily, Bao Lei appeared at this time. She glanced into the distance and saw those noble ladies who were watching the commotion. She quickly said: "Princess, county princess, it's too hot h...At that moment, Gu Li turned his head and bowed to Jia Ren, whispering, "Young Master, I've also read a few years of books. There's no guarantee I'll lose!"

"If you trust me, let me prove it."

He didn't call himself a villain. When he said "I", his eyes held a light like starlight in the darkest night, making Jia Ren's heart skip a beat.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that this taciturn steward was a little strange...

Wang Sheng, fearing that the Li family would refuse to compete, became even more aggressive.

"Aren't the Li family supposed to be exceptionally virtuous Loyal to the court, aiding the relief agency, and providing high-yield crops... I suspect it's all just a facade! "

"Documents written in black and white, are you even going to honor them This entire family is a bunch of cowards and shirkers!"

Cat-bro sprang up, about to tear his mouth apart, but was forcefully held back by Lu Zong and Jia Xu.

Li Ge'er's face was as cold as frost, his arm raised slightly, but was pressed down by Jia Ren.

Jia Ren looked at Gu Li, and after a long silence, he said: "Since you want to give it a try, then go ahead. Even if you lose, your family won't blame you."

"Because we were blinded by victory and underestimated our opponent, allowing them to exploit our weaknesses!

"

But if you win, I'll give you five hundred taels of silver. So go all out!

But Gu Li shook her head and smiled, "Young Master, if I win, I don't want silver. I just ask that one day, Young Master agrees to do me a favor."

Of course, this will not harm Li's family interests in any way.

Jiaren narrowed his eyes, increasingly suspicious of Guli's identity.

The arrow is on the string, it must be launched.

Our only hope of averting disaster now lies with this person!

He nodded seriously, "Good, I'll do it!"

Gu Li smiled and turned to the elderly gentlemen in the pavilion, saying: "Gentlemen, as a lowly servant, I have only been a bookboy for a few years. I don't consider myself equal to any of you."

But now there are vicious dogs running rampant, insulting their masters. Even though a lowly person may be physically incapable, he is willing to wield a stick and fight bravely for his master.

"Please, sir, give us a question!"

Mr. Mo Mei and the others all nodded in agreement, quite liking Gulli's loyalty and bravery.

But the stakes were too high to risk it, so they still turned to Li Jiaren.

Jia Ren shouted loudly, "It's our brothers who are short-sighted. We didn't see the tricks the villain played in the document. We are inferior in skill and have nothing much to say."

Even if our steward loses today, the Li family will honor its gambling debts.

"Gentlemen and all those present, please recognize the villain's true face. In the future, when faced with similar situations, be cautious and avoid being deceived."

Everyone was sighing in amazement. The Li family essentially paid for their own education, but they taught everyone a valuable lesson.

As people's hearts grew wary, their gaze towards Wang Sheng and Liu Kui was filled with nothing but contempt and shame.

Some people even splashed them with tea!

Wang Sheng's face was grim, but thinking of the imminent victory, he became smug again and urged, "Sir, please hurry up and set the question! I'm in a rush to collect the wine shop!"

Mr. Mo Mei and others could not get together to discuss a few things before coming up with a question.

Good job!

In their eyes, Wang Sheng, what a villain!

A petty person has a narrow mind, focusing only on immediate self-interest. They lack a broad vision and noble character.

Wang Sheng is definitely incapable of writing any good poems!

As expected, Wang Sheng frowned, but quickly began to think.

Then, Gu Li lifted her sleeve with one hand and slowly ground the ink stick with the other.

This question is difficult, so I gave two incense sticks' worth of time.

People craned their necks to look at the two people competing in the center of the field, whispering to each other from time to time.

As a result, in less than an incense stick's time, Gu Li submitted two sheets of paper.

This was probably beyond Wang Sheng's expectations, he wrote in a somewhat flustered manner and soon submitted his work.

Mr. Mo Mei and several other gentlemen gathered together, and in no time they excitedly banged on the table.

"Such a good article, it's a sight to behold!"

"What a rewarding day! I'm so glad to have witnessed the birth of such an outstanding work!"

"I need a copy, get me a copy quickly!"

"This character is also written well, it's really unexpected."

Those outside the pavilion were so eager, they craned their necks and fidgeted impatiently.

If you take their shells off, they'd probably turn into old turtles right away!

Just like everyone else, Jiaren and the others were curious too.

They had a suspicion in their hearts, but they couldn't believe it!

Wang Sheng was incredibly arrogant and urged loudly, "Gentlemen, let's just announce the results!"

Mr. Mo Mei glanced at him, his eyes full of schadenfreude, and declared loudly, "I announce that Li Family's steward wins!"

Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment, only to be followed by incredulous and frenzied applause!

"We actually won, we won!"

"Oh, we won! The Li family won!"

The crowd erupted in cheers, and the Li family members were especially overjoyed.

Maoge went straight out, hugged Guli, and jumped excitedly.

"Haha, Guli, you win! You're amazing!"

Jia Ren and Li Ge'er also stepped forward, happily patting Guli on the shoulder.

Ku Li laughed, showing a row of white teeth. He didn't stoop to bow in deference, but stood tall...

Wang Sheng suddenly overturned the tea table in front of him and shouted, "I don't believe it, you cheated!"

"How could I possibly be worse than a slave!"

The pavilion fell silent, both inside and out, because of his rudeness.

Although everyone looked down on Wang Sheng, he had to say that his words also voiced the doubts in everyone's hearts.

Mr. Mo Mei let out a cold snort and said loudly, "If you weren't so rude, I would also recite your works, making you accept defeat willingly!"

Having said that, he picked up Wang Sheng’s poem and began to read it aloud.

Wang Sheng still adheres to his flamboyant style, brimming with confidence and vigor throughout the piece.

But it seemed like a golden can, hollow inside!

Everyone frowned and shook their heads, muttering amongst themselves.

"Does the Wang family have a gold mine Even their writing is inlaid with gold! This is all glitz and glamour, not a single useful thing!"

He wasn't a good person to begin with, he couldn't write at all, he could only boast.

Wang Sheng, unwilling to accept this, urged Mo Mei to read aloud from Gu Li's work — "The Gentleman Chapter".

Mr. Mo Mei wiped his hands and had some tea to moisten his throat before he very seriously picked up the two pages of manuscript.

From the first sentence read out loud, everyone's eyes lit up...

In the garden, it seemed as if even the north wind had stopped its playful weaving. Countless flower buds, brimming with joy, bloomed instantly!

Until the last word fell, there was a long silence.

What a true gentleman, outwardly courteous and inwardly upright!

Someone, unknown to all, broke the silence and set everyone scrambling towards the pavilion. Everyone wanted to see the document for themselves.

Mr. Mo Mei held up the manuscript high and showed it to everyone.

The other gentlemen were also laughing and shouting, "Don't crowd, don't crowd! We are also fortunate to see such a good article. In a while, we will allow you to copy a copy to take back!"

Wang Sheng, seeing the commotion in the pavilion, stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Lost

That's it, we lost!

He wanted to say something more, but Liu Kui had already pulled him away with reddened eyes. "Go! Quick! Before they want a headcount, let's get out of here!"

Unfortunately, while the Li family was celebrating with joy, they had already been targeted by someone...say, this was Old Mrs. Li coming to deliver water to the villagers and take her energetic great-grandson for a stroll.The village head saw this and hurriedly left the melon patch, finding a shady spot...
