Zhan Zhao and the others noticed the ring on Yan Shaogong's hand, and felt that it might have something to do with the case, but if it was really related to the case, wouldn't it matter if they were running around wearing it so openly?

Zhao Pu asked Zhanzhao, "Do you want to test it while the question is coming up?" ”

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned, "How to tempt?" ”

Zhao Pu shrugged, "Anyway, you don't have to think of an idea." As he spoke, he took two steps forward, came to Zhao Zhen's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After Zhao Zhen heard this, he seemed to think about it, and then nodded, what it means - wrap it up on me.

Zhao Pu returned to the crowd.

Zhan Zhao asked him, "The emperor tested him when he asked the question?" It won't affect the game, right? ”

Gongsun also nodded, "Don't worry about the three sons of Jiangnan for a while, it's not good if you lose." ”

Zhao Pu waved his hand, "What are you afraid of." ”

"Is it really okay?" Pang Yu was also a little worried.

Zhao Pu was also happy, "He has always called us to work, so it is easy to have a chance, of course call him once!" Besides, he has long been accustomed to calculating civil and military officials every day, and even Taishi and Bao Xiang can settle down, are you still afraid of these little minions? ”

Everyone thought it made sense, but they could only find it and added, "It's best to keep a low profile, don't startle the snake!" ”

Zhao Pu nodded and lip-synced at Zhao Zhen - low-key, low-key!

Zhao Zhen glanced at it and nodded.

Nangong asked curiously, "What are the Nine Princes doing?" ”

Zhao Zhen said, "Oh, he asked me to be more high-profile." ”

Nangong was puzzled - high-profile what?

Everyone is waiting to see how Zhao Zhen prepares to solve the problem next.

People from both sides got together to discuss the question, and Xie Yan and the others asked Zhao Zhen curiously, "What year did the imperial brother study Taixue?" ”

Zhao Zhen hugged his arms and thought for a while, "Hmm...... It's going to be twenty years. ”

……

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Xie Yan and the others tilted their heads to look at him - how do you think this person is in his twenties, twenty years ago? Going to school before the age of ten?

Zhao Zhen was in high spirits and asked, "What are we better than?" With three questions, why don't you guess the word puzzle and write Spring Festival couplets for pairs? ”

……

The three great talents of Jiangnan looked at Zhao Zhen with their mouths wide open.

Pang Yu, who was listening to the excitement on the sidelines, turned his head and shook his head at Zhanzhao and the others, that means - it's a loss!

The three major talents in Jiangnan are all in a hurry.

Xie Yan said to Zhao Zhen, "Brother Huang, it's best to come up with three questions that we are good at, for example, Tianqing is good at Danqing, Ziming is good at calligraphy, and I am better at poetry and music theory." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, "Okay!" Just come up with this anagram! ”

The three geniuses sighed - this is on the bar with the word puzzle.

Lai Tianqing held his forehead, stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Zhen's shoulder, Nangong's eyes narrowed behind Zhao Zhen, and Ge Qing dragged him, what does that mean - your chopping eyes are slightly closed, afraid that people won't know that he is the emperor?

Nangong frowned, trying to be patient, but he still looked at Lai Tianqing's hand resting on Zhao Zhen's shoulder, and saw that Lai Tianqing withdrew his hand unconsciously, how could he be cold? Murderous in the wind!

Yue Ziming had no choice but to discuss with Zhao Zhen, "The three of us lose is small, and it is big to lose face if we learn too much." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at him and asked rhetorically, "Who said that you lost?" Your fame and status should be won as you should, and if you lose, get out of Taixue. ”

The three of them all opened their mouths wide and looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen hugged his arms and said, "The question is difficult or simple, both sides are the same, does winning or losing have anything to do with what question is asked?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, "Besides, today is a rare opportunity, you guys, let's show it well." ”

The three of them were a little flustered inexplicably, and they always felt that when Zhao Zhen said "the opportunity is rare", he seemed to be a little domineering......

Everyone behind him nodded secretly, not to mention the three great talents in Jiangnan, for any scholar present, today is a rare opportunity, which one can make a splash in front of Zhao Zhen, it is equivalent to winning the champion once, and the future is immeasurable!

Lai Tianqing and Yue Ziming both looked at Xie Yan, what does that mean-what does this hanger do to be?

Xie Yan frowned slightly, he couldn't guess it, but what Zhao Zhen said was indeed right, it didn't matter what the problem was.

The three of them didn't say more, let Zhao Zhen come up with the question.

Zhao Zhen walked to a table in the middle of the test room and looked left and right.

Nangong walked over and put a chair behind him.

Zhao Zhen sat down with the hem of his clothes, leaned on the table with one hand and snapped his fingers over there, "Alas, okay?" ”

The crowd of onlookers whispered, saying in their hearts that this is such a good man, what is the origin?

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Do you think he will accidentally tell me about it for a while?" ”

As soon as Zhan Zhao finished speaking, Bai Yutang didn't have time to answer, but he heard Zhao Zhen speak, "I ......"

"Ahem." Nangong coughed behind him.

Zhao Zhen touched his chin with his hand, "It's so slow!" ”

Everyone counted for him, for the first time!

Kaifeng Sanzi looked at Yan Shaogong.

Yan Shaogong nodded, walked to the stone table, and didn't know where Nangong got the chair, there were a few stone stools around, so he sat down and asked, "What do you call Your Excellency?" Where is the high school? ”

Zhao Zhen looked at him and said, "The surname is Huang, and Master Taixue Lin is my godfather." ”

Yan Shaogong was stunned for a moment, wondering, does Lin Xiao have a godson?

The onlookers were also talking to each other, it turned out to be Lin Fuzi's righteous son!

Old Man Lin's mind was swollen at this time, he looked left and right, what does that mean-what should the old man do?

Zhao Pu hugged his arms and laughed at him, "I admit it, I don't admit the crime of bullying the king." ”

Lin Fuzi stomped his feet, he was going to die!

Yan Shaogong asked, "Then, who will ask the question first?" ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, "I ......"

"Ahem." Nangong coughed again, and someone behind him brought him a cup of tea.

Nangong put it on the table for Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen pretended to drink tea with a teacup, and said, "It's really troublesome, or you come first." ”

Zhan Zhao and the others helped break their fingers - twice!

Yan Shaogong smiled, not polite, and said, "Okay, I'll ask the first question, huh...... Please ask Lai Tianqing, Lai Gongzi and Cao Jian to answer. ”

Lai Tianqing and Cao Jian walked out and arrived at the table.

Yan Shaogong smiled slightly, pointed to the crowd, and said, "There are two old men playing chess outside the crowd, you should have seen it when you came over just now." ”

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Are there two old men playing chess outside?" ”

Bai Yutang nodded.

The crowd also "brushed" and turned around to look at the periphery, indeed...... Under a willow tree not far away, two old men were playing a game. “

"I heard that Lai Gongzi Danqing is a good hand, and Cao Jian is also good at Danqing, so it's better for you two to paint." Yan Shaogong smiled slightly, "Draw those two old men playing chess." ”

Cao Jian smiled slightly, reached out to pick up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to paint.

Lai Tianqing didn't put pen to paper, but thought about it seriously.

The crowd whispered, and at this time, the two old men were blocked by the crowd, that is, if they saw it just now, then it should be easy to draw, but what if they didn't see it just now? Wouldn't it be impossible to draw?

Bai Yutang frowned slightly.

Zhanzhao asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

Bai Yutang said, "There is a doorway here. ”

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"Those two old men are playing chess." Bai Yutang said, "Playing chess means that the situation on the chessboard is constantly changing, who knows what the chess skills of those two old men will be?" When the two of them finish drawing, maybe it's the same elsewhere, but how can the chess pieces on the chessboard be the same? ”

As soon as everyone was said by Bai Yutang, they all nodded - yes! Chess is constantly being played.

"Brother Lai seems to be embarrassed by this." Bao Yan was worried.

"But Cao Jian seems to be confident." Zhao Pu smiled.

Everyone also frowned slightly, it was indeed a little strange that they were confident, did they not notice this, or were they sure that after the painting, what would happen to the other party? “

At this time, compared to Cao Jian, who was full of confidence in painting, Lai Tianqing was standing there, holding a pen in his hand, white paper on the table, he looked up at the sky, as if he was in a daze.

The crowd started talking again, and they all thought, didn't Lai Tianqing see the two old men playing chess clearly just now? At the same time, a few careful people also had the same questions as Bai Yutang, how to calculate the changes in the final chessboard?

At this moment, I saw Lai Tianqing suddenly lift the pen and put down the pen.

Zhao Zhen looked at the young man around him who was painting seriously, and the pen was flying, and then looked up at the sky, and then the corners of his mouth picked slightly, and his fingers gently turned the wrench on his thumb, and nodded.

After only half a cup of tea, Cao Jian put down his pen and signaled that he had already drawn.

And Lai Tianqing took out the seal from his arms, sighed, and suddenly ...... while pressing the stamp on the drawing paper. There was a drizzle in the sky, and the rain was not heavy, but it was quite dense. In the past few days, it has often rained in Kaifeng, and most of the crowd is in the big pavilion, and some people on the periphery have started fighting with umbrellas.

When the two picture scrolls were put together for comparison, Cao Jian and Yan Shaogong were slightly stunned.

See the picture drawn by the two people, the scene is similar, but the difference is the direction of the swing of the willow branches, and the ...... In Lai Tianqing's picture, you can't see the chessboard at all, because next to the two old men, there is a little doll, stretching out her hand to hold an umbrella, covering the two old men from the rain, and still talking to them. The little doll blocked the chessboard, so it couldn't see how the pieces were placed. The two little old men also seemed to be quite embarrassed, and they were talking to the child.

Cao Jian's painting shows two old men playing against each other, the chess and cards are inseparable, and the willow branches are also hanging quietly and low.

Everyone "made an uproar" and moved out of the way and looked at the willow bank together.

At the same time, Gongsun looked left and right, "Where is the little fourth son?" ”

I glanced at the scene under the willow trees...... Everyone was stunned!

I saw that under the willow tree, the little fourth son was holding an umbrella, sheltering the two old men from the rain, and said to them seriously, "Grandpa, why are you raining like this?" Go down to the pavilion! If you get drenched in the rain, you're going to catch a cold! It's not good to be like this when you're old. ”

The old man is very embarrassed, on the one hand, the little four sons help them with umbrellas and "teach" them very cute, but on the other hand, it seems that it is not easy to walk.

At this moment, the little fourth son tilted his head to look at the chessboard, "You two haven't taken a step for a long time, stupid." ”

If there is something good, he runs to watch the chess game, runs back and says, "Oh, it's the same as what Cao Gongzi painted!" ”

But...... Many people were shocked by Lai Tianqing's painting skills, especially the moment they turned around just now...... The painting is exactly the same as reality, and even the wind that blew the willow branches just now seems to be expressed in the painting. Especially the embarrassed expressions of the two old men, which makes people smile, and the most amazing thing is that the little fourth son only has a back with an umbrella, but that back is too cute to be...... It's amazing!

Bai Yutang nodded, "If Lin Xiao is a ghost talent, Lai Tianqing is a genius, one painting style is flamboyant and wanton, and the other is neat and tidy." Lai Tianqing's paintings are indeed inferior to Lin Xiao in value, but compared to Lin Xiao, he is more suitable to be a court painter, and his basic skills are much stronger. ”

Everyone nodded, and Master Lin smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, very good!" ”

Gongsun asked Zhao Pu curiously, "You asked the fourth son to come over?" ”

Zhao Pu shook his head.

Everyone looked at each other.

Tianzun said, "It was the fourth son who passed by himself." ”

Wu Yiwu smiled slightly, "Those who are good at painting must be good at observation, both internal and external, and meticulous." Lai Tianqing knew that the situation on the chessboard was unpredictable, and the other party was confident, unless he knew the result a long time ago, it was impossible for anyone to write without doubt. So I infer that the other party may be fake, and the situation is not in my favor, how to deal with it? He made good use of the time of the day, and deduced that there must be a light rain in a while, and the direction of the wind would also be sideways, so the weeping willow drew correctly. ”

Lin Zi also nodded, "Although it is the first time to see the little fourth son, Lai Tianqing already understands the character of the little fourth son. If it rains, the people nearby will inevitably find a place to hide from the rain, and the two old men will sit stupidly under the tree to get drenched in the rain, and the little four sons will definitely run to help hold the umbrella, and by the way, persuade the two old men to take shelter from the rain quickly. And if the two old men were not from each other's group, they would have left immediately as soon as it rained...... Sitting stupidly and not walking, chess is slow to move, no need to ask, there is a fake in it! Innocent as the little fourth son will definitely ask, the child's words are unscrupulous, but after all, the two old men are partners to deceive people, so the expression is so accurate! ”

Everyone nodded, to be called a small painting saint, not in vain, the three great talents in Jiangnan are indeed real talents.

Bao Yan and the others all nodded—yes, yes! Classmates are coming!

So, a discerning person knew at a glance that in this competition, the three sons of Kaifeng cheated first, and Lai Tianqing still won under unfavorable circumstances.

In addition, just looking at the painting skills of the two, Lai Tianqing's painting skills are much higher than Cao Jian's, and the judgment is high.

The crowd was talking.

Lin Fuzi asked Lin Xiao, "How?" ”

Lin Xiao nodded, "Win beautifully!" ”

Fang Baiji also shook his head, and seeing that Cao Jian and Yan Shaogong were embarrassed, he asked everyone, "In the first game, I think it was Cao Jian's ...... to win."

Everyone looked into the crowd, and even the Qiankun Academy was embarrassed to raise their hands at this time.

"That thinks Lai Tianqing won......" Fang Baiji didn't finish speaking, and everyone raised their hands one after another.

Fang Baiji nodded, "According to the rules, it is Huang Gongzi's turn to ask the question, if Lai Gongzi answers this question correctly or both parties answer correctly, then Lai Gongzi wins." If Cao Gongzi wins, then the game is tied. ”

As he was talking, he heard Zhao Zhen ask, "If you admit defeat, you will lose?" ”

Fang Baiji opened his mouth, "Uh, this natural ......"

Everyone nodded and looked at Zhao Zhen together.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, held his chin and said, "Let's guess the riddle, shall we?" ”

Crowd "Huh? "A bang.

Zhan Zhao and others supported their foreheads, and sure enough, they ......

Fang Baiji was helpless, and said in his heart that this person was here to make trouble, so he asked Zhao Zhen, "Huang Gongzi, what kind of anagram do you come up with?" ”

Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand, wiped the table with his sleeve, and said, "Oh? It looks like dust, isn't it? ”

Fang Baiji smiled and said, "This is called brushing rock, it is a high-quality, it looks like dust covering the stone surface, but it can't be wiped clean, it is taken from the meaning of always wiping diligently, in order to encourage and warn the readers." ”

Lin Fuzi nodded, good table!

Zhan Zhao saw Zhao Jiajun and a group of people beside him yawning collectively, and that expression - the reader is really annoying...... Sentimental! A broken table, dirty, and working in vain.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Then take this table as the title and make a four-character idiom." ”

Everyone blinked—what?

Lai Tianqing looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen smiled and asked him, "Can you answer?" ”

Lai Tianqing sighed and said, "I can't answer." ”

Cao Jian lost a game just now, and he was anxious to move back in this game, but when he saw that Lai Tianqing couldn't answer, he said, "Out of reach!" ”

The crowd thought about it – yes.

Zhao Zhen pointed at Cao Jian's other party Baekje and said, "Na, he admits defeat." ”

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Cao Jian is angry.

Yan Shaogong also frowned and looked at Zhao Zhen.

Lai Tianqing smiled and said, "It's okay to make peace, there is no need to hurt peace for winning or losing." ”

Fang Baekje reminded, "But if you draw, it will have an impact on the future competition." ”

Lai Tianqing said, "I am the weakest of the three talents, and my two brothers are much stronger than me, so I am not afraid." ”

Everyone nodded their heads - this scholar has a tone.

Lin Fuzi is so beautiful that he touches his beard, and the students he has taught are so good.

On the one hand, Fang Baiji admires Lai Tianqing, and on the other hand, he thinks that Zhao Zhen who came out of the question is very interesting, this game is a word puzzle on the surface, but it is actually a reaction, Lai Tianqing replied "can't answer", indicating that he doesn't know, but just now Zhao Zhen said "admitting defeat is also losing", so he couldn't answer, otherwise it would be a draw. Cao Jian did answer correctly, but he also admitted defeat, and the heavy reaction to victory and defeat was not as fast as Tianqing, and the whole thing was a loss. In the end, Lai Tianqing didn't care about winning or losing, and his words were beautiful, this first game took the lead and won the real game!

So, Fang Baekje asked everyone's opinions again, of course...... Everyone agreed that Lai Tianqing won this game and Cao Jian lost. Meantime...... Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen, and said in their hearts that this is not welcome, he made a crossword puzzle to provoke trouble, and also used the anagram to ridicule Cao Jian Compared with Lai Tianqing, it is simply beyond reach, oops...... Will there be a fight at this moment?

Several aunts in the Demon Palace stomped their feet, Wu Yiwu also nodded, and said to Zhao Pu, "This is the virtue that the surname Zhao should have, you picked it up, right?" ”

Zhao Pu looked at the sky.

Zhan Zhao went to bring the little fourth son back, and at the same time looked up at the sky.

Bai Yutang also noticed that the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and Nangong and Ouyang's faces became more and more nervous...... Just now, Chen Sangua said that the nobles went out to attract wind and rain...... I didn't expect it to rain, so everyone's unified action was to find the beam.

Lai Tianqing took the brush, Zhao Zhen took his painting and looked at it, nodded, "Give me a ...... to mention."

Before Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Nangong accidentally knocked over the cup.

Lai Tianqing looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen blinked, with an expression that nothing had happened, "This painting belongs to me." ”

What he said just now didn't make a sound, and the people around him didn't hear it, and Lai Tianqing didn't hear it too seriously, so when he saw that he wanted to paint, he nodded and wrote to him beyond his reach.

Zhao Zhenmei asked Nangong to accept it.

Zhan Zhao and the others all felt that Lai Tianqing had hit the jackpot today, and maybe he would be awarded the title of court painter tomorrow, and at the same time they all shook their heads - Zhao Zhen was wrong for the third time! If he continues like this, he will say that he is going to be exposed.

Sure enough, when I looked at Lai Tianqing again, I saw him frowning, looking at Zhao Zhen with some suspicion, and walking back.

Yue Ziming, Xie Yan and Bao Yan all went over to tell him, "Win beautiful".

Lai Tianqing scratched his head, looking at Zhao Zhen who was admiring the painting uncertainly-he seemed to be saying "give me a ...... to mention the dust"

There are winners and losers, and there are laughing and crying...... Looking at Cao Jian's side again, the first game was quite a bit of a stealing of chickens and rice, and they lost the battle.

Gongsun said, "The people of Qiankun Academy are not honest, this has not yet reached the competition of the Four Academies, so if this kind of small means is used to compete in the Four Academies, it may not be possible to make any bad moves!" ”

Lin Fuzi nodded, "The old man is also worried about this, not to mention the literary test and the martial arts test." ”

Zhan Zhao patted Master Lin and said, "Master, don't worry, I don't want to think about who you are responsible for the competition in the four courtyards?" Are you still afraid that you will die? ”

Lin Fuzi thought about it and looked aside.

I saw that at this time, Yin Hou was holding the little fourth son, standing with Tianzun, frowning and discussing.

Xiao Sizi said, "Qiankun Academy is not honest!" ”

Tianzun nodded, "Well, be careful!" ”

Yin Hou squinted, "If you dare to cheat me when you compete in the Fourth Academy, I will let Jiu Niang burn his academy!" ”

Everyone is sweating for Qiankun Academy, this is the trend of destroying the Academy......

Zhan Zhao was on the beam, and Bai Yutang's arm touched him lightly, motioning him to look at the other side.

Zhan Zhao turned his face back, and saw that the venue was about to start preparing for the second competition, and Zhao Zhen held his chin and asked Yan Shaogong with a not very good face on the other side, "......Is the ring on your hand from a cult?"

"Poof......" Zhao Pu squirted out a mouthful of tea.

Everyone looked at him with disgust - were you sure you had made him keep a low profile?

Zhao Pu was powerless.
