The news of the comparison between Tang Yin, a great talent in the south of the Yangtze River, and Liu Jinke, the son of a master in Beizhili, also disappeared, and it spread throughout the entire capital in just half a day.

At this time, it was the triennial Luncai Ceremony, and it was not uncommon for literati to be better than Wen Doumo, and even good poems came out every day.

But Tang Yin and Liu Jin are naturally not ordinary talents who can compare.

Tang Yin is a great talent in the south of the Yangtze River, Xie Yuan, who was in Nanzhili last year, was full of economy, talent, and young and frivolous, and he said that he wanted to connect with the three yuan before the exam, and his name had already spread here in the capital.

Liu Jin is also famous all over the world, the son of a master, the year before last the moon tower was a blockbuster, the description of the world outside the Ming Dynasty attracted countless people, making honeycomb coal, glass, building a port in Tianjin, building sea ships, and building a cement road in Beijing and Tianjin, etc., have long made the world know his Liu Jin's name.

Of course, he is also Xie Yuan of last year's Beizhili Township Test, and he is also young and promising, handsome and chic, and is the dream couple of countless deep boudoir girls in the capital.

One is Xie Yuan of South Zhili, and the other is Xie Yuan of North Zhili, each of which can represent the Southern Talent and the Northern Talent, and it can be said that as soon as the news of the comparison between the two came out, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the entire capital.

The Palace Nourishing Heart Pavilion.

"Interesting, interesting, Xie Yuan Tang Yin of Southern Zhili and Xie Yuan Liu Jin of Northern Zhili compare who can get a higher ranking in this imperial examination."

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile on his face and several pavilion elders around him, this winter, his small life is very comfortable, and the northern neighbors can't get in because of the tall city wall built of cement, so he can finally sleep peacefully for a winter.

"Tell me, Tang Yin and Liu Jin, which of the two of them will win?"

"It's hard to say, it's all Xie Yuan, and they're all famous all over the world, I'm afraid it's hard to distinguish between them."

Liu Jian smiled and said.

"The northern scholars have always been unable to pass the southern scholars, and Tang Yin is the Xie Yuan of the Southern Zhili, I'm afraid this time Liu Jin is going to lose."

Li Dongyang touched his mustache and said with a smile, he is a southerner, he is very aware of the level gap between the north and the south, and Xie Yuan, who came out of the hometown of Nanzhili, has absolutely no doubt about his level, he feels that Tang Yinsheng is bigger.

"Although Liu Jin is a son of a master, I also read the article on last year's township exam, and it is indeed written quite well, but compared with Tang Yin, a genius in Jiangnan, I'm afraid..."

Although Xie Qian said it tactfully, there is no doubt that he is also more optimistic about Tang Yin.

"I think Liu Jin will win!"

When Zhang Mao heard this, everyone felt that my northern scholars couldn't take the southern scholars' exams, how could this work, even if I really couldn't win the exam, I had to support Liu Jin.

"Tang Yin may be slightly better in talent, but he is too arrogant and arrogant, and he said that he wanted to even win three yuan without taking the exam, in contrast, Liu Jin is much more modest, he has always been very low-key, and he can use what he has learned to do practical things for the country and the people, no matter whether he wins or loses, I prefer Liu Jin."

The meaning and attitude of Hubu Shangshu Zhou Jing are very clear, Liu Jin's talent is not as good as Tang Yin, but it is more likeable, and his own talent is more useful to the country and the people.

"The competition between the two great talents of the north and the south is exciting to think about, and even I can't wait to know the result."

When Hongji heard everyone's answers, he was also full of smiles and expectations.

……

In the middle of the lake island in the back garden of Dingguo Gong.

"Sister, Liu Lang and Tang Yin are ranked higher in the imperial examination than anyone."

Li Zhen said with a smile on her face.

Now that the two of them know about each other and Liu Jin, they have accepted each other's existence, but they often move around each other and exchange feelings.

"I heard that this Tang Yin is a great talent who is famous in Jiangnan, and he also threatened to win three yuan, I'm afraid that this time, Liu Lang is afraid that he will lose."

When she said this, Li Zhen was slightly worried, afraid that Liu Jin would lose face after losing.

"He's good if he loses, he has no heart and no lungs, he hasn't come to see us for several days."

After listening to this, Xu Wan'er said with some resentment.

"He is also busy with the Spring Festival now, and now compared with this Tang Yin, he must be concentrating on reading, so naturally there is no time to be distracted."

Li Zhen explained to Liu Jin with a smile, she actually missed Liu Jin very much, especially when she thought that she would not be able to see Liu Jin for the next half month, it would be like not seeing each other for a day, and spending days like a year.

"Sister, which of them do you think can win?"

Hearing Li Zhen's words, Xu Wan'er smiled slightly, thought about it and asked.

"Of course it's Liu Lang, how can Tang Yin be able to compare to Liu Lang."

Li Zhen said very confidently.

"That's maybe, I'm afraid that this Tang Yin is more likely to win, after all, he is a famous talent in Jiangnan."

Xu Wan'er shook her head slightly, then thought about it and said, "But with the talents of Liu Lang and Tang Yin, there must be no problem with the title of the gold list of the two." ”

When it came to the title of the gold list, Xu Wan'er couldn't help blushing again, and remembered Liu Jin's promise to her in her mind.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Li Zhen looked at Xu Wan'er's decently blushing suddenly, and she didn't understand what was going on for a while, but soon, she also thought of something, and immediately followed Xia Fei's cheeks.

….

In the East Palace, Liu Jin hurriedly came to Zhu Houzhao's side.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I just received news that Liu Jin and Tang Yin, a genius from Jiangnan, are going to compete to see who has a higher ranking in this imperial examination."

"Liu Jin and Tang Yin?"

Zhu Houzhao put down the geometric analysis in his hand, slightly surprised, and then thought about it and asked, "Who is that Tang Yin?" ”

"Tang Yin is Xie Yuan of Nanzhili last year, and he is also a famous talent here in Jiangnan, and before the exam started, he had already said that he wanted to connect with the three yuan."

Liu Jin patiently said the place where Tang Yin's ox fork was.

"What's the cow?"

"Haha, there's a good show to watch now, Lao Liu has encountered hard stubble this time, and it is estimated that he is going to lose."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately laughed happily, he himself is the master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and now he is even more excited.

"Isn't it, there is already an opening in the capital, buy Tang Yinsheng one loss and two points, buy Liu Jinsheng one loss and three points~"

Liu Jin nodded with a smile and said, and then also said that someone in the capital opened a market.

"Has anyone placed a bet?"

"Are there many people who buy Lao Liu Win?"

Zhu Houzhao's little eyes narrowed, it was funny, interesting, and there were even people who opened the market with this.

"Yes, a lot of people bet, there are a lot of people who buy Tang Yin to win, and most of them are optimistic about this Jiangnan talent, after all, Jiangnan talents have always been more literary than northern talents."

Liu Jin replied.

"Go and give me 10,000 silver to buy Lao Liu Win, how much is to support Lao Liu, if you lose, I will go to Lao Liu's mansion to eat for a month, and then eat back."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and instructed Liu Jin, well, how can he do a loss-making business, anyway, Lao Liu is rich, and he can't eat poorly.

What's more, I am supporting him, and if he loses, of course he will have to bear the loss.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao's little eyes narrowed happily, no matter how he calculated, he didn't lose, he made money anyway.

……

Liu Jin's mansion, in Liu Jin's study.

"Someone still has an opening?"

Liu Jin heard Tong Yuan's saying that someone in the capital opened the market with the comparison between himself and Tang Yin, and the whole person was also slightly shocked.

The ancients really knew how to play, and this was also able to open the bet and take it.

"Yes, teacher, the odds of winning by buying Tang Yin are one to two, and the probability of winning is one to three."

Tong Yuan replied with a smile, he followed Liu Jin to learn the mathematics taught by Liu Jin, and knew the number of points, so it was more accurate.

"Who opened it?"

Liu Jin touched his nose, feeling that his winning rate was relatively low.

"I heard that it was opened by Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo."

Tong Yuan replied.

"The two brothers still have this brain?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he didn't believe it, but after thinking about it, he said: "Go and give me 100,000 taels of silver and buy my own victory." ”

"Teacher, isn't 100,000 taels too much, this may have to be wasted, if you support yourself, the next few thousand taels will already be a lot."

When Tong Yuan heard this, he immediately said anxiously.

"Even you think you'll lose as a teacher?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately became angry, he didn't even look at his own apprentice, he was a very failure as a teacher.

"Teacher, students just feel that small gambling is pleasant, and big gambling hurts their bodies~"

Tong Yuan bowed his head slightly and replied in a low voice.

“… Say no, forget it, you'll find out soon. ”

Liu Jin was speechless for a moment.
