" What an exquisite painting!"
" Marvelous!! This painting is truly touching my soul!"
" Such beautiful mix of colors…such scenery. Even look at that woman, even though we can only see her back, she looks so ethereal and beautiful."
Jia Hao's Sage's Divine Eyes opened as he glanced at the painting. Unlike normal people, he studied the painting from a different perspective, noticing even the smallest detail hidden inside the world of painting.
[ lancholy of Jade Hairpin: A painting made by Grandmaster Bai Jiuye. Here he depicted the beautiful world and grey pond to reflect the heart of the woman, who has been longing for the life she wished for]
' Damn, Sage's Divine Eyes are truly a cheat.' Jia Hao clicked his tongue as he looked at the painting.
A lot of people are imrsed in the scenery of the colorful clouds in the sky, the grass and the tree, the flowing water, and a small village nearby.
Then, so other people were imrsed in the beauty of the woman whose only a little bit of face was visible as she was facing back to the viewers. However, that flawless back with wrinkles in the right places, the tight clothing which was outlined the plump rear and that small yet exquisite glimpse of eyes could drive any man to admiration.
As there were many scholars and nobles who received education since birth, they started to rack their brains to write relevant poems.
anwhile, Jia Hao opened his phone as he scrolled through the pdf he had saved, trying to pick which poem should he play. Seeing the strange device in Jia Hao's hand, Little Mi's curiosity got picked.
" Young Master Jia, What's that?"
" Oh, this…You can say it's a …new type of torch." Jia Hao thought for a mont as he replied. But then, he finally found a suitable poem.
" Beautiful Sister, Can you bring a paper and inkbrush?" Jia Hao turned around and smiled, making Little Mi blush.
" En, Wait for a bit, Young Master." Little Mi walked out, only to return quickly with the writing instrunts.
Jia Hao pulled out a glass and poured so wine into it. Of course, he used his own wine as the wine in Yunlan Continent wasn't good for him.
" Mm…I don't have the mood to write. How about I narrate the poem and you write it, Beautiful Sister?" Jia Hao smiled.
Little Mi couldn't help but get srized by this new young master. Not only he was handso, but even the way he talked, and the way he drank were truly elegant.
' Wait, What is he drinking? It slls…Nice. Yet, that glass…It's a crystal glass!' Little Mi beca alard when she saw that.
Well, It's true that many nobles carry their own wine. But crystal glasses are highly precious as they are hard to make. Not to ntion the one that Jia Hao was drinking with, it was transparent as clear water!
Hearing Jia Hao's wish, Little Mi was surprised. As a courtesan, she had to hone her calligraphy talent. Although it wasn't anything great, her handwriting is much better than ordinary folks.
' I can't let what happened in the Marriage Examination in Cai Family. My handwriting is way too ugly.' Jia Hao thought inwardly as he started to speak.
Little Mi beca imrsed in Jia Hao's poem as she wrote it down as quickly as possible. After a while, when she finished it, her expression changed when she read what she wrote.
' This…This poem…It's so…Beautiful!'
For a mont, Little Mi felt jealous of Xu Chenlan. She would have swooned over Jia Hao if he would have given her this poem.
' Alas. Heaven is unfair.'
Little Mi gave a wry smile as she nodded. " I have never seen such a poem, Young Master. Do you want to submit it?"
" Go ahead. Let's see how many of them are going to pass this test." Jia Hao smiled with an amusing face as Little Mi got up and submitted the poem.
" Hoho, Brother Lei, I believe you are going to get selected."
" Well, Brother Niu, Don't worry about that. If I will go inside, I will take you too." Another young man laughed.
" Treat it as a gift to improve your mood. I know what Cai Family did to you…Haah, But you shouldn't dwell on it too much."
" Hmph, They are just flaunting what remaining power they have. Soon enough, They are going to regret offending our family."
Jia Hao's sense of hearing was heightened as he could hear everything they were talking about. His eyes narrowed as he looked at them with his Sage's Divine Eyes.
[ Na: Niu Luo]
[ Age: 23]
[ Remark: First young master of the Niu Family. Early stage of Profound Awakening Realm with crimson qi. Lasvicous and easily angered]
[ Recent Future Points: Three days later, he would get caught having an affair with the concubine of the Finance Auditor of City Lord's house]
[ Na: Lei Qinzhu]
[Age: 25]
[ Remark: Young Master of Crimson Dagger Dojo's fourth elder. Early stage of Profound Awakening realm with crimson qi. Cunning and vicious]
[ Recent Future Points: Tomorrow in the middle morning, he will et a rchant in the dark alley of the north block to purchase Violet Smoke Grass]
' Ah, This bastard is from the Niu Family.' Jia Hao's face twitched when he looked at Niu Luo. Realizing that he also submitted the poem, Jia Hao's lips curled.
' Hmm, Although I don't know much about my power, if I ambush an Early stage Profound Awakening Realm, I might take him down.' Jia Hao thought inwardly.
" Tsk, If Ox and cows started to write poems, then I guess even pigs would start to fly."
Jia Hao's voice was particularly loud as everyone heard that. Suddenly, Niu Luo's expression changed as he felt Jia Hao saying that while looking at him.
" Bastard, What did you say?"
Lei Qinzhu and Niu Luo looked at Jia Hao who was sitting and drinking wine leisurely.
" I said, If Ox and cows started to write poems, then I guess even pigs would start to fly." Jia Hao took a sip of wine and repeated his sentence.
Many people stared at them as they felt a good show was about to begin.
" Eh? Wait, Isn't that…The Son in Law of Cai Family?"
" Ah! True! It does look like him."
" Jia Hao! I rember! He challenged all the scholars who took the test of the Cai Family! And he scored the perfect score!"
Of course, many scholars and young n here went to participate in the marriage trial of the Cai Family. Most of them have seen Jia Hao who boasted all the questions are far too easy.
He was also the one who submitted his answer first. And the next ti they saw him, he was taking marriage vows with Cai Yixue.
Many n beca resentful when they saw him.
' Damn it! You already got a pretty wife, and you dare to linger in Phoenix Cloud Pavilion?!'
Niu Luo's expression changed when he heard Jia Hao was the one who married Cai Yixue.
" Hoho, Isn't that the live in son in law of Cai Family?" Niu Luo snorted as he looked at Jia Hao.
" How does it feel to eat soft rice, huh?"
" Well, Eating soft rice from my wife's hand is very satisfying. Unfortunately, explaining that would be the sa as playing lute before an ox." Jia Hao replied casually.
" Yo-You!"
Before he could say anything, the two maids appeared in the hall and they clapped their hands.
" My lady already declared the winner of this poetry trial."
Saying that, they looked at Jia Hao with a polite smile.
" Young Master Jia, Our lady invited you to her boudoir."

In Chinese, Niu = Ox. So that's how Jia Hao is mocking Niu Luo using wordplay.
