Chapter Seventy-Eight: When the Final Race Takes Place

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

Seeing Ye Chen agree, Han Lao was also very happy.

For Han Lao, since his retirement, Han Lao has studied the Three Kingdoms the most, but unlike the military generals who ordinary people like such as clouds, Jin Ge, iron horses, and strategists like rain and clouds, Han Lao, as a literati, appreciates the literary works in the history of the Three Kingdoms more, among which Han Lao especially admires the talent of Cao Zhi and Cao Zijian.

Because in the eyes of Han Lao, Cao Zhi was a pure literati, but unfortunately he was born in the emperor's family by mistake and ended up in a miserable end.

Only a pure literati can write the gorgeous and beautiful "Luo Shen Fu".

And the most special of all Cao Zhi's works is the desperate poem and seven-step poem made by Cao Zhi under the persecution of his brother Cao Pi.

This time, Ye Chen completed the seven-step poem, and when he thought that the seven-step poem lost in the long river of history was about to reappear in front of the world, Han Lao couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart!

Since the final of the National Youth Literary Creation Contest only selected the top three from each province to go to the imperial capital to compete, Ye Chen, Han Lao and the others waited for a while before the other two participating students arrived at the airport to meet Han Lao.

Wang Kong saw that the time was almost up, and he repeated the instructions to Ye Chen, and then went back to school, and Han Lao also took Ye Chen and the three of them to board the plane.

In the evening, the Imperial Capital Airport.

This is the first time Ye Chen has come to the imperial capital, so he is also very curious about the imperial capital!

Walking out of the airport, the night in the imperial capital was full of people, neon shining, and the people of the imperial capital were full of confident smiles on their faces, and they walked with their heads held high, as if everyone was proud to be a member of this huge empire.

Ye Chen was accompanied by two students, a man and a woman, and through small talk, Ye Chen knew that the man's name was Jiang Yu, and the woman's name was Jiang Jie, and they were two brothers and sisters! When he saw these two brothers and sisters for the first time, Ye Chen could see that these two brothers and sisters were more introverted people, and Ye Chen was also surprised when he first heard it, and the two brothers and sisters actually entered the top three at the same time when they participated in the competition.

However, Ye Chen also obviously felt that the two brothers and sisters looked at him a little unconvinced, and after thinking about it, Ye Chen knew in his heart that he must be dissatisfied that he won the first place in the semi-finals.

Jiang Yu and Jiang Jie are both young people, obviously it is the first time to come to the imperial capital, as soon as they get out of the airport, they have already thrown their dissatisfaction with Ye Chen to Java, because on the plane Ye Chen used his speech ability to facilitate communication in front of the two of them, the brother and sister both thought that Ye Chen was the kind of person who was well-informed, and now the two of them took turns asking Ye Chen like a cannon, and after explaining one or two questions a little, Ye Chen was a little overwhelmed, it was really the question asked by these two brothers and sisters was too strange!

"Ye Chen, why is it so dark in the imperial capital?"

"Because it's not dawn yet. ”

"Oh!"

……

"Ye Chen, why is the imperial capital so big?"

"Because the word imperial capital is very big. ”

"Oh!"

……

"Ye Chen, why doesn't the imperial capital turn off the lights at night?"

Looking at the cheap clothes on Jiang Yu and Jiang Jie, Ye Chen was speechless.

No matter how developed a country is, there are also poor people, and even Midi, who was known as a paradise on earth in his previous life, still has countless slums.

Perhaps, for Jiang Yu and Jiang Jie, who were born in the countryside, the street lamps that never go out at night are a waste of resources!

Looking at Jiang Yu and Jiang Jie's two little heads, looking east and west, and their eyes kept rolling, Ye Chen felt that it was difficult for him to answer this seemingly innocent question.

Han Lao also noticed this situation, Ye Chen could see the problem, how could Old Man Han not understand! Originally, Han Lao was worried that with the personalities of these two brothers and sisters, it would be difficult to communicate along the way, but what surprised Han Lao was that Ye Chen actually got acquainted with the two in a short period of time.

Just when Ye Chen didn't know how to answer Jiang Jie's question, Han Lao spoke.

"Okay, you little guys, it's the first time to come to the imperial capital, but you are here to participate in the competition, tomorrow is the day the competition starts, presumably the importance of the competition your teacher has also told you, it's not too early now, we have to hurry up and go to the hotel to have a good rest for a night to prepare for tomorrow's exam, you don't have to be disappointed, after the exam, I will take you to have a good time in the imperial capital!" Han Lao looked at the three of them and said with a smile.

After listening to Han Lao, Jiang Yu and Jiang Jie both looked very happy!

"Thank you, Old Han!" Ye Chen said.

Due to the particularity of the finals of the National Youth Literary Creation Competition, the students who came to participate in the competition could not persuade the empire to pay for the expenses during the competition, and the food and accommodation were also arranged in advance.

When they came to the hotel, Han Lao instructed them not to run around and wait, and the four of them went back to their respective rooms separately.

Ye Chen came to his room, put everything away, took a bath and sleeped, and prepared for tomorrow's exam.

Following.

At the final site of the National Youth Literature Creation Competition, there was still half an hour before the start of the competition, and the venue of the competition was the library of a university in the imperial capital.

After passing the necessary checks, at this moment, Ye Chen was sitting in his examination room bored and waiting for the exam.

Just when Ye Chen was bored, a group of scholar-like people were gathering in an office on the first floor of the library.

The average age of this group of people is more than forty or fifty, some are forty or fifty years old, and some are fifty or sixty years old, but without exception, they all look very elegant, but at this time, everyone is around an old man who looks about sixty years old, if Ye Chen is also at this moment, he will definitely be surprised, the old man is Han Lao!

"Old Han, why are you here, I haven't seen you for several years, your old body is still so tough!"

"Han Lao is also here, the last time I saw you at the Literary Creation Contest was a few years ago. ”

Everyone greeted each other, and Han Lao also responded with a smile one by one, and after a short greeting, everyone also quieted down and went to work.

When everyone dispersed, Han Lao grabbed a middle-aged man and asked, "Little mosquito, why didn't your teacher come?"

Zheng Wen has been avoiding Han Lao, and at this moment he was still caught by Han Lao, and said stubbornly: "Teacher Han, the teacher will come in a while, but can you not call me a little mosquito!" Zheng Wen was very helpless about this high-qualified and old literary bigwig who taught at Yenching University at the same time as his teacher.

Hearing this, Han Lao joked: "What's the matter, you're not happy to call you a little mosquito, don't forget that you are a student of Yenching University, I was also a teacher at Yenching University, and I am your elder, you have to agree to call you a little mosquito!"

Zheng Wen smiled bitterly, Han Lao is right, this is true!

Just when Han Lao wanted to continue to make fun of Zheng Wen, a voice came from behind Han Lao.

"You bad old man, you're joking with Xiao Zheng again!"

The one who spoke was an old man who was about sixty years old and very elegant, the old man's name was Wei Shu, Zheng Wen's teacher, and the president of the Imperial Poetry Association.

Wei Shu and Han Xuan are both Taishan Beidou in the imperial literary world, and the arrival of Wei Shu once again caused a sensation among everyone, seeing that everyone came to say hello, Wei Shu smiled very elegantly.

Seeing that Wei Shu didn't want to say more, everyone dispersed, but they just guessed in their hearts what attracted Wei Shu and Han Xuan to come one after another today.

Han Xuan didn't care about this, seeing that Wei Shu was coming, Han Xuan smiled and said, "You old guy, I didn't expect you to really come, why are you so idle today?"

"It's not that you old guy told me that the genius who completed the seven-step poem came to participate in the competition, but you, who have been on the loose for several years, how can you care about these young people this year?"

After listening to Wei Shu, Han Lao said lightly: "I came this time to see what the situation of the younger generation of the empire is, and it is a shame that the cultural exchange seminars of the empire have been like this for several years in a row!"

As soon as Han Lao's voice fell, the people who were listening to the conversation between the two with pointed ears also fell silent, indeed, in recent years, the younger generation of the imperial literary circle has been at a disadvantage in foreign cultural exchange seminars, which is really shameless for the older generation of literati!

As the host, the birthplace of Chinese civilization, it actually lost to its own vassal country, and the problems are worth reflecting on.

Wei Shu also sighed in his heart, and it was difficult to talk about this matter, in fact, Wei Shu was also very concerned, and the reason for coming to the National Youth Literature Creation Contest this time was also to see the level of the younger generation of the empire like Han Xuan.

"Forget it, old man, didn't you say that the genius who completed the seven-step poem is also here? In which examination room, take me to see it!"

"Haha, speaking of this little guy, I promise you'll be surprised!" Han Xuan said with a smile.

After speaking, Han Xuan took Wei Shu and Zheng Wen and walked towards Ye Chen's examination room.
