The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 43
[Chapter 43: Spring Breeze Greens the South Bank of the River Again]
Didn’t he say the same thing to Lin Tian the last time when Lin Tian competed with him in writing poems?
The only difference was that he said shamelessly last time that if he lost, he would be Lin Tian’s grandson.
But this time, Lin Tian spoke first, and it was obvious that he came prepared.
“You think you are better than me? Wandering!”
Ouyang Haowen obviously didn’t take Lin Tian seriously. He thought
it was a joke when he heard Lin Tian say that, and spat on the ground with disdain.
“Mr. Ouyang, do you know? There is a saying that goes, “Don’t despise the poor young man, and when a man is separated for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes.”
Lin Tian rolled his eyes at him.
Many people are actually not bad, but they are defeated by his arrogance.
And the Ouyang Haowen in front of him is the worst among them, and he has been too arrogant!
So let Lin Tian teach him how to do things today!
“Just a few words, do you think you have a lot of knowledge?”
“This is simply the funniest joke I have heard this year!”
“When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new
eyes. And when I haven’t seen Lin Tian for three days, he has become even more of a spendthrift!” Someone was still thinking about the fact that Lin Tian had just spent hundreds of taels of silver to let others praise him, and couldn’t help but speak sourly at this time.
The jealousy in this tone, I am afraid that anyone can hear it.
But no one spoke for Lin Tian. They all thought that Lin Tian had drunk too much and taken the wrong medicine, so he dared to challenge Ouyang Haowen openly.
Even Zhu Zhengli, no one was willing to believe it.
After all, compared with Ouyang Haowen, Zhu Zhengli is not at the same level.
One hired a teacher to teach at home for several years, and the other was a scholar who had studied the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and was from a family of scholars!
The two are worlds apart!
“Does Mr. Lin know another saying? A dog can’t change its eating habits!”
Ouyang Haowen suddenly approached Lin Tian and blew a breath on his face with disdain.
Such provocation and contempt made Lin Tian’s heart unable to hold back a ball of fire.
“It seems that Mr. Ouyang is really determined to make it. What if I am better than you?” Lin Tian crossed his legs nonchalantly.
If you want to play, you have to play big.
If some things are not blocked, no one will look down on them!
“The strong usually give in to the weak, you say it yourself! But if you lose, you have to go outside the city gate and take off your clothes and shout for half an hour. Lin Tian is not as good as Ouyang Haowen!”
Ouyang Haowen didn’t take Lin Tian seriously at all. He was crazy about competing with Lin Tian.
“Of course there is no problem. If you lose, you have to agree to one condition of mine! As for what the condition is, you will know later.” Lin Tian said in a pretentious manner. When
everyone heard this, they didn’t expect the two to play so big.
Suddenly, everyone became interested and surrounded Lin Tian and Ouyang Haowen.
Qin Wangshu didn’t expect the matter to be so big, and she was a little annoyed by Lin Tian’s impulsiveness.
But Ouyang Haowen took the initiative to provoke trouble, but she just skipped it.
There is no other way. It is because Lin Tian had left such a deep impression in everyone’s mind.
“Just do as you say! I want to see how Master Lin can prove that you are better than me?!” Ouyang Haowen fanned the wind gently with a fan, looking like a heavenly man.
He has already charmed many girls who came to participate in the poetry meeting.
And Lin Tian is a huge joke in everyone’s mind!
“Of course it’s simple. Don’t you believe that I can write such a good poem? If I point out the mistakes in your poem and you are convinced, I will win.” Lin Tian spoke directly.
This is the most obvious way.
He also used his old methods and tricks.
There is nothing else to do. Just according to the powerful database in his head, Lin Tian can point out a lot of his bad points.
“It’s true that you won’t cry until you reach the Yellow River! Then let’s see how you can convince me?!” Ouyang Haowen was so angry that he laughed.
Lin Tian was not awake yet. What was he talking in his sleep in broad daylight?
He had spent an unknown amount of time preparing poems for this poetry gathering. These poems had been through his thousands of trials and tribulations and were already perfect.
If Lin Tian could find even the slightest flaw, he would admit defeat!
Lin Tian ignored his arrogance and walked straight to the papers and picked up a few poems written by Ouyang Haowen.
However, just as Lin Tian was about to start reading, Ouyang Haowen interrupted him again.
“Wait, wait!”
Ouyang Haowen interrupted, feeling that he was bullying Lin Tian.
It was an unfair victory anyway.
“You don’t have to convince me. If you can point out any shortcomings of this poem, I, Ouyang Haowen, will admit defeat!”
Ouyang Haowen said loudly, his eyes full of confidence.
In Lin Tian’s eyes, his extremely confident look made him look like a clown.
When others saw this, they just thought that Ouyang Haowen was a gentleman and was deliberately giving in to Lin Tian.
Some people were also worried that he would make a few random remarks tomorrow and force Ouyang Haowen to admit defeat.
“That’s easy, of course. A gentleman’s words are as good as a horse!”
This was a bargain that was delivered to the door, so there was no reason not to take it. Lin Tian simply did not refuse and directly agreed.
From a conventional point of view, Ouyang Haowen’s poems were regular and there was no fault at all, but it was because he was too regular that he had the biggest shortcoming!
“The spring breeze passed over the south bank of the river again, which was indeed good!” Lin Tian praised generously.
Praise from opponents always makes people complacent. Ouyang Haowen thought that Lin Tian was automatically admitting defeat and raised his chin proudly.
But before he could speak, Lin Tian added another sentence.
“It’s just that there is something a little inappropriate here, you can change to a better word!” Lin Tian shook his head, looking quite regretful.
“How is it possible? This is the best word I can think of! Over, turn stillness into movement!” Ouyang Haowen slammed the table in disbelief and said loudly.
But Lin Tian didn’t care about his excitement at all, he just picked up another piece of paper and wrote down the poem.
“The spring breeze makes the south bank of the river green again! This is a good poem!”
“What a good word green! The essence of the whole poem is here!”
When Lin Tian stopped writing, someone immediately applauded.
There were many real literary talents present, and they couldn’t help but applaud when they saw the wonderful poems.
Ouyang Haowen’s poem was indeed well written, but it was still much inferior to Lin Tian’s change.
It was obvious that Ouyang Haowen lost.
At this time, his face was extremely ugly. How proud he was just now, how embarrassed he was now!
How is it possible? !
Lin Tian is just an unlearned prodigal son, how can he have such a profound talent?
But the facts forced him to admit that this was a poem he wrote after thinking hard for three whole days.
But this change made by Lin Tian is countless times better than the original one!
