Chapter 14: The College Competition
The triennial World Academy Championship League is still coming as scheduled, and Langya Academy, which is still deserted on weekdays, suddenly became bustling and lively, not only eleven academies in eight counties, but even some small merchants and vendors under the mountain, as well as villagers from nearby mountain villages, also came up to join in the fun.
A few sons and brothers in gorgeous clothes, with fluttering white clothes, no matter whether the weather is cold or hot in March, one person has a folding fan, pretending to be deep and swaying. Suddenly, an old man in ragged clothes crashed into a boy in the middle. The old man trembled with fright, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize. A few people on the side scolded and scolded, "What a big boldness, you don't have long eyes, our Fu Gongzi has a noble status, can you touch it as a pariah?" You're looking for a fight. "When that's done, you're going to do it.
That Fu Gongzi waved his hand and said, "The reeds on the wall are top-heavy and shallow; Also worthy of being a man? Hahahaha". A few people laughed. "Fu Gongzi is so talented."
The female demon Yu Wenjun was rushing to the scene with Zhao Rong and others, and just heard a few people bullying the old man, and couldn't help frowning. Zhao Rong frowned when he saw the female master, gently gestured forward and said, "There is a bird in the cage, with a sharp beak and thick skin and a hollow belly. A herd of beasts. ”
When a few people heard Xiao Zhao Rong's couplet, their faces changed, and they threw down the old man to come over, and they were about to make trouble, when Fu Gongzi saw the female master Yu Wenjun, with willow leaves and cherry eyebrows, and a graceful figure, he hurriedly changed his face, and bowed politely, "The girl is fine, Xiaosheng Fusheng is polite." ”
Yu Wenjun had nothing to say to him, and a slight bow was considered a return gift. Then hurriedly took Zhao Rong and them to the main venue. Murong drooped behind and looked at Yu Wenjun's back, his saliva flowed, his eyes narrowed into a line, "Beautiful, so beautiful." It's worth the trip. ”
The companion said, "If Childe likes it, let's ......" Fu Sheng shook his head, "The twisted melon is not sweet, see how I use my strong manly charm to attract her, if not, again, um...... Hahaha". Then give the companion a look that you know.
In this college competition, it can be said that each college is the elite and vows to win the first place in the competition. When Zhao Rong and the others arrived at the main venue, they were already crowded, only to see a bunch of people on the three layers of the inner and outer three floors of the honor and disgrace list that were issued on weekdays, and people were talking about it, Zhao Rong was curious and asked Yu Wenjun, "Could it be that our incident happened that night?" It shouldn't be. ”
Yu Wenjun said: "Phew, you don't learn well at a young age. What can we do. You don't want to talk nonsense. Bad self reputation. ”
Zhao Rong smiled, and walked through the crowd to see, only to see a big red piece of paper with the words "Notice on the change of the rules of this league competition."
In order to discover all-round talents and cultivate available talents for the imperial court, this conference will no longer be divided into groups, but decided by lottery. Each college will produce five students with both ability and political integrity, as well as excellent character and learning, to conduct a couplet competition.
There are three phases in this big brand. On the first day, the couplet competition.
The second day of the poetry competition.
Day 3: Qing Tan Debate Competition.
The best student from each college will enter the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, the top five students from 11 colleges will advance. Finals are played. The Champion Academy will receive it separately
The first plaque in the world.
The first plaque in the world of poetry and writing,
The first plaque in the world of peace and Qing talks.
Get two first plaques
It was recommended by the public as the first academy in the world.
I hope that the students of each college will prepare carefully. Glory for the College"
Zhao Rong happily said to Yu Wenjun after reading it, "Haha, great, you don't need to participate, let's go back." ”
Yu Wenjun said, "What are you happy about, in case you are drawn by lot, you will not know anything except couplets, and you will talk nonsense." Your personal honor and disgrace are small, and it is a big thing to ruin the reputation of my Langya Academy for a hundred years. As your recommender, you will be a sinner for the ages of the academy when the time comes. ”
Zhao Rong smiled bitterly, "How can I be so unbearable." If you don't show some real skills, you don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes. ”
Suddenly, the crowd began to rush to the bottom of the high platform, Zhao Rong, Yu Wenjun, and they were also coerced over, and it turned out that the lottery began. The first is the host Langya Academy.
Zhao Rong chanted at the bottom, "God bless, don't choose me, don't choose me." ”
The host began to read aloud the signature, "Langya Academy Wei Steps." ”
"Wow wow......" a bunch of girls shouted hoarsely. I almost fainted. Zhao Rong asked, "Who is Wei Jie?" Is it famous? ”
Yu Wenjun glanced at him, "It's a shame that you've been in Langya Academy for so long, and Wei Jiejie doesn't even know it." The guard rank can be said to be a courtyard grass. ”
Zhao Rong was puzzled, is a grass so popular. Especially the eyes of those girls, they can't wait to eat him.
Yu Wenjun said, "Wei Jie is very handsome, even if he is handsome, he still has connotation, which is different from your soil bun." Everywhere he went, a group of people surrounded him, and not only women liked him, but even men liked him. He's a good talker. Unfortunately, he was sick and frail, and his mother, Wang, often didn't let him talk much. When he encounters a good day, relatives and friends sometimes ask him to say a few words, and there is no one who is not impressed, thinking that he has said the subtleties. The evil man Wang Cheng is famous, and he rarely admires others, and whenever he hears Wei Jue's remarks, he sighs and falls. People said, "Wei Jue said, Wang Cheng poured." Wang Cheng, Wang Xuan, and Wang Ji are all famous, all under Wei Jue, and the world says: "The three sons of the Wang family are not as good as the Wei family."
Zhao Rong shook his head: "These girls are too pompous. Why didn't anyone praise me when I saw me? ”
The second sign "Langya Academy Tao Kan." Everyone was amazed again, but it was obviously not as good as just now.
The third sign "Langya Academy, Han Shou" Wow ⊙∀⊙! Wow. Zhao Rong looked at it and thought that he was a handsome guy again.
The fourth sign "Langya Academy, Li Nong"
When the name was pronounced, there was no reaction from everyone, and it is estimated that everyone didn't know each other.
The fifth sign "Langya Academy, Zhao Rong".
Everyone laughed "uproar", which made Zhao Rong embarrassed, I'm going to go, this female devil is really a crow's mouth, and the last lottery actually drew herself. It's over, just wait and see the joke.
Yu Wenjun's heart was also wow cool, she was about to cry. This is also too coincidental, Langya Academy this elite out, picked twenty people, ready to take a few leaders, in order to save the host's face, this is good except for the first three barely make do, the latter two goods are simply an addition, the house leak coincided with the overnight rain, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind. Drinking cold water can stuff your teeth, and a fart can jump to your heels. Thinking of this, my eyebrows are about to twist into twists.
Zhao Rong leaned over and said, "Master, you are so sad, have you encountered something unhappy?" Let's all have a good time speaking up. ”
Yu Wenjun rolled his eyes. Said word by word: "You ~ give ~ me ~ get out." ”
The rivalry between brothers is more brutal and bloody than that of outsiders. Because outsiders do not divide your property, real estate, and inheritance, of course, Langya Academy naturally has no property, property, real estate and inheritance, and give it to Zhao Rong. But at this moment, Zhao Rong and the others had to carry out a brutal cannibalism,...... Fight for the right to play the rematch.
Seeing that he was unfortunate enough to be on the list, Zhao Rong had no choice but to give himself relief, "The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, anyway, no one knows me, and there is nothing to be ashamed of if I can't answer, I just feel sorry for the academy, sorry for my classmates, sorry for the dean, sorry for Yu Wenjun, sorry for Chef Cai." Hey, why should I hang up with Chef Chua? Forget it, anyway, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. ”
Then the person in charge of the venue began to pull up a cordon around the area, and the selected ones stayed. The others scattered in all directions.
A gray-haired old man stepped onto the stage, "Ahem, students of Langya Academy. Hello everyone, I am Zhou Boren, the dean of Taishan Academy, this time I was elected as the host of this confrontation league, everyone's arrival is the importance of culture and education, is our honor, I believe that all students will do their best, show what they have learned, and I believe that this will be a high-level and high-standard literary event. We will witness this glorious moment. Thank you all for coming. ”
The crowd cheered. When the cheers were almost over, Dean Zhou Boren waved his hand, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, compare couplets today, compare poems tomorrow, and talk about debates the day after tomorrow." Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. You need to seize the opportunity. ”
After saying that, someone came over with a tray with a brocade cloth shaft on it. Zhou Boren slowly opened the steps: "Okay, today's first couplet, come up, even if you get tomorrow's qualifications." And then "ahem"
There was a pause. Everyone was gearing up and eagerly trying it.
That week, Boren pretended to be reserved and then shouted, "Today's question is not simple, students of Langya Academy, are you ready?" ”
Everyone suddenly had the urge to hit someone, and this week Boren deliberately made trouble.
Zhou Boren finally spoke, and it is estimated that he also felt that if he continued to be verbose, people would not wait for it to be dark to put a sack on his head and beat him. I'll just throw bricks on the stage or something. "The maple on the peak of Beiyue Peak, the wind blows the maple and moves the peak." This couplet 'Feng', 'Feng' and 'Feng' have the same sound, 'Yue' and 'Feng' agree and have the same radical, and 'Feng' is the half of the word 'Feng' is indeed not right.
The first thing that came to mind was Li Nong, who was different from his wooden appearance, and his mind was very active. "Nanshan Yuyu fishes, and the rain fish swims on the island."
The crowd shouted, "What a couplet." ”
The second is not surprising is the Wei Rank, who is delicate and erudite. It's not surprising to come up with "Nanxi River, the river is in the lotus, the crane flies and the lotus shakes the river." The women in the audience applauded for a long time.
The third person who came up with it was Tao Kan, and he groaned a little and said: "Beihe Bridge, under the bridge, see that the long bridge is not long." Everyone couldn't help but admire. Wonderful, wonderful."
The fourth is Han Shou, Han Shou's literary style is acceptable, although he is not as good as Wei Rank, but he is also one in a million beautiful sons. "The roadside mirror is in the mirror, and the static transit moving mirror is not moving."
Zhao Rong seems to be stuck here, he is really stuck, and he really can't remember it all of a sudden. Yu Wenjun covered his face and said in his heart, if this calf is eliminated by his own family at the first level, it is better than going out and losing face. She didn't even want Zhao Rong to think about it.
Zhao Rong is really anxious here, this is a mountain and a peak, and he is still motionless, isn't he dead if he is motionless. This time he really died, and he died before he left the school, which made the hero cry. He looked around. I happened to see a swallow flying over the eaves. Then he said, "The eaves of the corner of the house stop the swallow, and the swallow jumps and the smoke flies and the eaves do not fly." Yu Wenjun suddenly opened his eyes and smiled, this fool was blinded by a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.
Seeing that all five of them answered, Zhou Boren was also stunned. said, "It seems that the students of Langya Academy are really full of talents, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Looks like it's time for the next question. ”
Another student came up with a plate. Zhou Boren didn't sell Guanzi anymore, opened the brocade cloth shaft and read, "Those who are clean are self-purifying, and they are clean and guarding the road." "It's about the lotus root coming out of the mud without staining.
Everyone was not polite, and Li Nong replied, "Holy and holy, keep the way and clean the willow people." Li Nong's whimsical ideas and neat battles. It is about the story of Megumi Yanagishita's way of purification.
Wei Jie: "The emerald is more emerald, and the arrogant bones are pine." It is said that the pine tree grows in the crack of the stone but stands in the wind, and is proud.
Tao Kan continued, "Canchen is always can, and the season is on time to the stars in the sky." "It is also a rigorous and fair reconciliation.
Han Shou said, "The wonderful family is unique, and the diners know the kindness of the kernel. ”
It was Zhao Rong's turn, but he found that he looked weird there. He raised his hand and said, "Master, I have an urgent need to urinate, can I go to the toilet?" Everyone shook their heads, there was a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey. Go, go, go. After a while, he trotted all the way back, and bowed his hand to everyone with a grin, "I'm sorry, I drank too much water today, what was that couplet just now?" It was too painful to hold my urine just now, and I didn't hear it clearly, I'm really sorry. ”
Zhou Boren was speechless, so he had to open the scroll and read it again: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and they are clean and guarding the mud." Zhao Rong pondered for a while, couldn't remember what to say, everyone sighed again, and some simply shouted, "You can't do it, don't delay everyone's time, I'll go to Meixiangyuan to listen to the music in a while." ”
Zhao Rong heard about Mei, Mei, Mei what's coming. So he said, "Bai Hu Zhen Bai,"
When everyone heard it, "Isn't it really white to call white, I'm still black." ”
Zhao Rong said, "White and white, iron bones and cold fragrant snow plums." "People don't talk anymore, and I don't know who got up for a long time." Applause rang out.
Even Yu Wenjun's eyes lit up.
After these two rounds, there is still no winner or loser, and even the dean of Taishan Academy is worried, what can I do. It's too competitive for a few people. It's so talented. Another round would be in vain. "Otherwise, you can do it yourself. Each person came out with an absolute, and someone answered and quit. Whoever comes out with a pair that no one can answer, then whoever represents the academy in the semi-finals. ”
Li Nong was the first to come out, "lonely and cold, empty and widowed." Everyone was amazed that his talent was unparalleled in the world, and this couplet, every word has a treasure hijab. These words, in turn, express the death of a single woman's husband. The current state of lonely life is very difficult to deal with.
Everyone shook their heads. Han Shou stood up and said, "The slender red line ends at the end." It's over, Li Nong's way forward.
Han Shou came out again with "smoke lock pond willow." This couplet is not right, the five words contain gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and Li Nong replied with a sentence of "Taoran Jinjiang embankment." "Two people love and kill each other, and they end each other.
Wei Jie's came forward to ask: "If the king doesn't come out, who is in charge?" Tao Kan replied: "Although Wu has a mouth, he only talks. ”
The five people and three of them were all out of Shanglian, and they had to deal with it carefully. Tao Kan attached great importance to it this time, and finally sacrificed the big killing weapon for a long time, "Who teaches people to only care about the high and the top; ”
Everyone saw that it was really unusual. The point is not to understand what it means. But Zhao Rong saw it, what kind of couplet was this, but he was tired of climbing the stairs and stammered. Then he gasped and said, "I'll calm down for you, come and go." ”
Everyone suddenly realized.
But in this way, only Zhao Rong is left. His pair was matched. Everyone still doesn't know whether they win or lose. So there's still a chance for everyone.
Zhao Rong said, "Paint a lotus monk painting." Everyone laughed, it's that simple.
But a few talented people scratched their heads, this is a palindrome couplet. It's not easy to answer. Tao Kan and Han Shou bowed their hands slightly, meaning that they had given up and couldn't answer. Wei Jie, Li Nong and Li Nong are still struggling desperately. In the end, Wei Jiejie lived up to expectations and replied: "The book is in the Hanmo Hanlin book." Everyone applauded. It looks like we're going to watch the next round again, and today was really exciting.
Everyone was ready on the bench, and they were about to buy melon seeds, but then Wei Jie stood up and said, "I lost, I admit defeat." ”
The rest of the people who don't know why.
Lin Nong also arched his hand and said, "In the upper couplet, the upper is the direction word, but the lower link is a verb." So the reconciliation is not neat. Is an untidy couplet still a couplet? Little brother, I also admit defeat. ”
Everyone's jaws are about to drop to the ground, is it over? It's as simple as a couplet, and that's it? Including Yu Wenjun didn't understand. How the hell did he win? Did the blind cat meet a dead mouse? Or is there really a real talent to learn?
