Chapter 111: She's Not Interested
Hearing the overwhelming cheers below, Xiao Huang felt his blood boiling, and he hadn't felt this kind of feeling of comfort, relaxation, and high spirits for a long time.
Waving his hand downwards to signal everyone to be quiet, Xiao Huang continued,
"The third to fifth talents in this poetry meeting, in addition to the original rewards, can also enter the Guozijian for one year, and after one year, they can be transferred to the Hanlin Academy as appropriate!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, especially Cai Chengxiang and a group of officials on the island in the middle of the lake, they didn't expect that Emperor Xiao would release such a rich reward.
In the past, only the top name of the poetry club could enter the Hanlin Academy, but now the three to five people are only entering the national prison, but the word "discretionary" is no different from nothing.
There is no one below who is not impressed, in the past, they could only always compete for the first place, they had no chance, but now they only need to be in the top five, and the chances are much greater.
There was another burst of cheers, and Emperor Xiao opened his arms, is this the feeling of being a king in the world and being supported by all the people?
Xiao Huang didn't talk about the rewards for the first and second places, but the third to fifth places are so powerful, and it is estimated that the first and second places are even more exciting.
However, Fu Enhao's heart couldn't move, the more Xiao Huang didn't say it, the more worried he became, the Queen Mother let herself take the first, in case this first was a "trap", he would have no place to cry.
glanced at Emperor Xiao, and then at the Queen Mother, Fu Enhao found that the Queen Mother was also looking at him, and there was a woman beside the Queen Mother who was also looking at him, and the eyes of the two of them looked at each other, and immediately turned their eyes away, it was Xin Xiu'er!
"Isn't this the daughter of the shopkeeper Xin? How did she end up here? I didn't see her when I was in the palace just now. ”
Fu Enhao is a little strange, shouldn't it be the princess in the palace who stands next to the queen mother?
"You are a fake from the capital," Su Ce whispered to Fu Enhao from the side,
"The Queen Mother's maiden family is the Xin family, Xin Xiu'er is the grandniece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother loves Miss Xiu'er, and there is nothing strange about bringing her here, this is something that the people of the capital know."
"I see!"
Next, the official read out the rules of the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry competition,
First, all talented people must have a 'moon' in their poems written tonight.
Second, after writing the poem......
……
Finally, I once again remind all the talented people that the poems they write must be written by me tonight, if it is found that someone has stolen other people's verses or used previous verses to fool the test, the crime is the same as bullying the king, next, please write it! ”
After Emperor Xiao said that ten thousand rewards, Li Yingzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, read out the rules of the poetry club,
After reading it for a long time, Fu Enhao found that the so-called rules are actually the ring competition, a total of five rings, defending and attacking, and the last five people will be ranked.
Twenty officials from the Hanlin Academy and Guozijian were responsible for judging the merits of each ring competition, and the ranking of the last five was the responsibility of Emperor Xiao, the Empress Dowager and Yang Sheng.
This is very different from the previous way, in the past, after everyone finished writing, Guozijian and Hanlin Yuan each selected three poems in the middle, and then Xiao Huang, Yang Sheng and Fu Hao discussed the final ranking.
As soon as Li Yingzhi's words fell, most of the talents in the audience began to think about it, and some of them wrote directly.
Every year, the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting is basically written about the month, unless there is something particularly big in the country that year, there are countless poems that have written the month throughout the ages, and it is not easy to write good poems that can make people's eyes shine.
Many people have already begun to think about how to write the poems of this poetry meeting before they enter Beijing, and those who have written have already thought about how to write them.
Everyone at the scene was thinking about their own poems, except for one person, Fu Enhao!
"Does this Fu Xiucai not pay attention to this Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting?"
In such a major poetry meeting, talented people are struggling with their poems, except for Fu Enhao, who is actually eating!
This scene made the Queen Mother frown, and it also made the officials on the island in the middle of the lake frown, this Fu Xiucai is too big!
……
While the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Beijing is in full swing, the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Yunzhou is also going on.
However, compared with the grand occasion of Jinghu Villa in the capital, the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting here in Yunzhou Mansion is a bit shabby, first of all, there are only about 20 people who participate in the poetry meeting, and the reward is only 20 taels of silver at most.
"Cut, I thought there would be a big reward, it adds up to less than a hundred taels of silver, which is too shabby!"
After hearing Lu You say the reward for participating in the poetry meeting, Zhou Yi couldn't help but complain, this Yunzhou is too stingy to get the government.
"It's a bit less, really...... All those in the state have more than two hundred taels of silver. ”
Even Murong Qianqian, who has never commented on things that have nothing to do with her, feels that this reward is a bit too little, when the state is more remote than Yunzhou, and the business is not as developed as Yunzhou, and the reward for the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting every year is more than 200 taels of silver.
"Girl, this is already a lot, if it weren't for the minimum standard of silver reward set by the imperial court last year, there might not even be fifty taels of silver."
A man who looked like a scholar next to him explained to Zhou Yi.
"Well, why?"
In Dangzhou, no matter how little the bounty of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club is, it will not add up to less than one hundred and fifty taels, and Yunzhou is adjacent to the capital, and the bounty is so outrageously small, it is really unbelievable.
"In the past, before the Holy Lord ordered the bounty to be raised, the bounty of each state was set by the governor of each state or the governor of each prefecture himself, and there used to be all kinds of interesting prizes, if the two girls are interested, we might as well go to the private room of the inn next to us to have a good chat."
The scholar-like man suggested, gesturing to a nearby inn.
"Yes, yes!"
"They're not interested!"
When Zhou Yi heard the interesting prize, of course he wanted to know, and immediately said yes.
But at the same time as Zhou Yi's voice, Ouyang Kai's more determined voice sounded, with a little chill.
"Since the girl wants to go, please go inside!"
The scholar-looking man didn't seem to hear Ouyang Kai's words, and Zhou Yi made a gesture of invitation.
Hearing Ouyang Kai's words, Zhou Yi looked at Ouyang Kai hesitantly, she still didn't know why Ouyang Kai said that she was not interested.
Ouyang Kai shook his head at Zhou Yi, his eyes full of warning.
"Girl, since you want to go, no one can make decisions for you, who are you, why do you make decisions for others!"
Seeing Zhou Yi's hesitation, the scholar-looking man hurriedly added another fire, turned his face and questioned Ouyang Kai.
"That, Childe, I'm still not going, if you want to say it, you can say it here!"
Seeing the man questioning Ouyang Kai, Zhou Yi hurriedly rejected his invitation.
"Oh? The girl doesn't want to go again? ”
The man looked at Zhou Yi incredulously, with a playful smile on his face.
"Well, I'm not going, if Childe wants to say it, let's say it here."
The master didn't let her go, and looked at her with warning eyes, where did she dare to go.
"I just said to go, and now I say I won't go, does the girl think it's fun?"
After confirming that Zhou Yi did not enter the inn with him, the man's face changed, and his tone became very unkind, without the slightest enthusiasm from before.
"No ......"
The change in the man's attitude startled Zhou Yi, and he unconsciously took a step back.
"You and I Qin Pang are eating dung...... No, are you a vegetarian when I Qin Pang? Today you have to enter, and if you don't enter, you have to enter, I said! ”
This is to ask the overlord to make a bow, the man named Qin Fen was obviously angry, and took a step forward to hold Zhou Yi's hand, but it was a step too late, Ouyang Kai saw that the situation was wrong, and had already pulled Zhou Yi and Murong Qianqian behind him.
"Boy, you're very dragged! You dare to touch the girl that the master has a fancy, do you know who the master is? ”
After catching Zhou Yi and finding out that he was pulled away by Ouyang Kai, Qin Pang said to Ouyang Kai disdainfully.
"Get out!"
In the face of Qin Pang's aggressive momentum, Ouyang Kai just said a word lightly.
"Oops! didn't even put the master in his eyes, and quickly let the two little girls over, otherwise, beware of me letting you leave Yunzhou! ”
"Childish!"
As soon as Qin Pang's threatening words fell, Ouyang Kai said disdainfully, this kind of street gangster is not capable of threatening him.
"Boy, you're crazy! If you have the ability, don't run! ”
Seeing that Ouyang Kai and the other woman were both holding swords in their hands, but they were bare-handed, Qin Pang thought for a while, he would definitely not be able to beat him, so he put down this sentence and turned around.
"Master, I'm sorry ......"
"Don't be so stupid next time!"
As early as when Qin Pang changed his face, Zhou Yi knew that he had almost fallen for Qin Pang, and now he was going to make trouble for Ouyang Kai again, so he felt very embarrassed.
However, Ouyang Kai didn't mean to blame her, a small person like Qin Pang was not worth his attention, he just felt that Zhou Yi's belief in other people's behavior was a little helpless.
"Yi'er, next time, don't believe the words of a strange man so easily."
Seeing the guilt on Zhou Yi's face, Zhao Yiyi stepped forward and instructed.
"Sister Yi, if you have nothing to do, you will be a traitor or a thief, and you don't have to worry about him next time you meet such a person."
Murong Qianqian also came up to talk to Zhou Yi, and she felt that Zhou Yi's paper was getting worse day by day.
"Oh, I see, are we leaving, what are we going to do when that guy comes back?"
Zhou Yi also knew that he was a little confused this time, worried that Qin Pang would come back to find trouble later, so he immediately asked a few people present.
"No need to go, he's already back."
A group of people walked from the direction that Qin Pang left just now, holding all kinds of strange tools in their hands, including sickles, wooden sticks, shovels, machetes, etc., the scene was very shocking, and the people on the street retreated to the side of the road one after another.
"Childe, you better hurry up and run, these guys don't want to die!"
A gray-haired old man passed by Ouyang Kai and the others and admonished them.
"Thank you, old man, you can withdraw first, don't worry about us."
Zhao Yiyi helped the old man to the side, so as not to hurt the innocent later, although he might not be able to fight.
"Boy, I'm going to drive you crazy! Three hundred taels of silver, I want one of his legs! ”
A group of people came to Ouyang Kai and the others, and the person in the middle was Qin Pang who wanted to kidnap Zhou Yi just now, Qin Pang didn't say a word, and pointed to the group of people that Ouyang Kai directly ordered him to find.
"Boy, if you want to blame, blame you for provoking people who shouldn't be provoked, no wonder us!"
After speaking, everyone picked up the guy and rushed towards Ouyang Kai.
Good wishes will always be broken by the cruel reality, and just when everyone thought that they could easily deal with Ouyang Kai, they found themselves getting farther and farther away from Ouyang Kai.
hit the wall of the mansion, fell to the ground again, and spat blood, and then everyone realized that they didn't even know how they made a move.
"A bunch of! Boy, I'm fighting with you! ”
Seeing that the person he found couldn't even carry the other party's move, Qin Pang picked up the hoe on the ground and rushed towards Ouyang Kai.
"Stop!"
