It stands to reason that Xiao Er is generally illiterate, otherwise he would not be a Xiao Er here, but these people don't look like they are illiterate, Lin Chaoge pondered for a while, and had some scheming in his heart.

After a while, the second round was over, and after repeated deliberations and comparisons, thirty outstanding works were finally selected, as if to prove the fairness of the competition, the list of finalists and poems will be publicly hung in the lobby and at the entrance of the Ivy Spring Pavilion for everyone to read and appreciate.

Lin Chaoge deliberately paid attention to the man in green, and saw that there was a little excitement on his face, it seemed that he had entered the finals, but she didn't know what his name was, she only knew that this person was very useful to him, and he needed to take a step ahead to make a move, but think about it, this person has never appeared in the plot of the book or even in the memory of the original owner?

After thinking about it, Lin Chaoge called "Su Man" and asked him to inquire again, where the little boy is now, just wait for the end of the game to block people.

After the second round, it's not too early, and although the Ivy Pavilion is a place to talk about poetry and songs, there is also food for everyone to eat. are all today's current fruit sour, with a few lovely snow fruits, generally people who enter the second round, eat for free, and put it under the first round of brushing and still don't leave, naturally no, Lin Chaoge needs to spend money to buy it himself.

I didn't eat breakfast, and Lin Chaoge, who had been sitting for most of the day, was about to ask for something to eat, so I heard the host just now: "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to thank your sons for their support, Your Royal Highness specially sent some meals from Changchun Building, please use them slowly." ”

When everyone downstairs listened, many of them were happy, including some middle-sized sons, after all, ordinary people can't afford to eat Changchun Building, and many people began to waver for a while, plus the push of people with a heart, deliberately did it.

Lin Chaoge was also a little surprised when he heard this, he was really reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, the cheapest dish in the Ivy Spring Building cost ten taels of silver, and the cost of an ordinary well-off family for a year.

An Shangli on the opposite side looked at the faces of those people below with a look of disdain, the railing was condescending, and his eyes showed disdain and contempt. Every time I move my gaze up to a window, I can't help but reveal my bloodthirsty poison.

Lin Chaoge turned a blind eye to this, and deliberately went to investigate it before, and most of the people who heard talking about An Shangli praised him, which was enough to see that this person's superficial work was done very well, and he was too stupid to think about it, otherwise his brother would have made a plan to seek skin with the tiger.

"Childe, this is the lunch that my master has prepared for you." A young man who looked like a shopkeeper knocked respectfully on the door with a large food box.

"But your big shopkeeper?"

"Lin Gongzi is smart, and he can guess it."

"Thank you for me, your master, spare him for bothering." Lin Chaoge didn't twist either, and immediately thanked him and accepted it.

"Lin Gongzi is serious, and I hope that Lin Gongzi will use it slowly." When the shopkeeper saw that someone accepted it, he hurriedly withdrew, and somehow, he just felt that Lin Gongzi's gaze staring at him was a little infiltrating.

"Master." Su Man stared wrinkled at the large plates of hot sweet cakes on the table.

"No problem." Lin Chaoge knew what he was worried about, picked up the white porcelain spoon on the side, the milky white cheese shook when touched, and poured it into the leaf-shaped celadon, the red-smoked jujube cake was gathered into the shape of a pagoda, and a spoonful of viscous brown sugar was poured on the joy group, and then dotted with orange peel, which made people feel comfortable when they looked at it.

Three-color fried chicken, fried cod, plum blossom minced pork rolls, and almond tofu with silver cream are all her favorite foods on weekdays, and the person is very prepared.

After the shopkeeper left, Lin Chaoge saw him out, and when he was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly found that the man in green followed a person dressed as a small guy out of the door, and a few wisps of cold wind blew on his face, making people shiver a little cold.

After a long while, the man in green came back alone, with no other expression on his face, and Lin Chaoge couldn't see any change for a while.

When the people downstairs were almost resting, and they didn't know where to get the news, Zhang Ziquan, who also came to join in the fun, ran in to join in the fun, and the third round of evaluation of the Ivy Hall began.

The theme of the third round is none, and the snow-white rice paper is blank, as the name suggests, it is for everyone to play at will, and such a theme has caused many people to be surprised as soon as it comes out.

The competition of the Ivy Pavilion has always had a theme, and it gives you a direction to answer, whether it is a previous painting or a couplet.

Nowadays, this lack of theme has made it difficult for some people, but except for those who already know the topic in advance, and the judges who already know the general outcome.

Lin Chaoge looked at the serious thinking of those people below with some interest, and there was a strong academic taste of being in the school.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door accompanied by a greeting, "Lin Gongzi." ”

Lin Chaoge motioned to Su Man to open the door, and then saw the little guy who came out with An Shangli smirking outside the door, lowering his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and flattering him.

"Young Master Lin, my son-in-law is invited." After speaking, he made a very perfunctory salute, and Lin Chaoge's eyes signaled Su Man to be calm and not to be impatient.

"Could it be that the young master of your family has forgotten a lot of things, and forgot a bet horse with the grass people some time ago?" Lin Chaoge sneered contemptuously: "Oh, by the way, if the young master of your family wants to move me now, he also has to weigh the people behind him."

The smirk on the little guy's face almost didn't collapse when he heard this, he glanced at the corner of the wall, and suddenly changed his complexion, with a puzzled expression: "Young Master Lin, my young master kindly invited you to have a cup of tea, why are you humiliating my son so much?" ”

Lin Chaoge: ??? What have I humiliated him again?

I don't know if they were unlucky, but as soon as the little guy finished speaking, two people came next to him.

The two people who came usually gossip, plus they look high on weekdays, and they look down on the villain who is the most powerful, if something reaches their ears, basically the scholars in the entire capital will be able to know.

Hearing the words of the little guy, the two of them looked at Lin Chaoge with disapproval, and her recent comments were really bad.

Lin Chaoge didn't bother to accept it, let them misunderstand, the more turbid the water was, the more fun it would be. "You little minion is slandering my son here, do you know what it's called?" Lin Chaoge said lightly again.

The little guy wanted to defend himself, but Lin Chaoge didn't give him this chance, turned around and entered, closed the door and isolated, out of sight.

"Master, you just let that person go, do you need it?" Su Man deliberately accentuated the last sentence.

"If the dog that bites doesn't bark, it's hard for the dog to bite you, and you have to bite it back yourself." Lin Chaoge suddenly changed the topic; "Look, the blue-and-white man in the audience, have you ever known him?"

"I don't know." Su Man shook his head, a little weak-hearted, there were a lot of fresh faces in the Changchun Pavilion this time, Xu was preparing for next year's scientific examination, he didn't collect the information in advance, it was really negligent.

"He is the second son of Hu Xinzi, a scholar of Hanlin Yuanzhang Academy." Lin Chaoge replied, with a smile in his eyes, but this smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he looked a little infiltrating.

"Bachelor of Hanlin Yuanzhang Academy? From Liupin, Xu is one of the officials who were newly transferred back to Beijing at the beginning of last month. ”。

"Although he is from the sixth grade, he is rich in talent and learning, and he once wrote an article, and even the emperor praised him greatly." Lin Chaoge explained.

"There will definitely be one of them in this competition." Lin Chaoge said firmly.

Su Man was puzzled, "Why?" He is just the son of a low-class family, even if he has a good belly, he can't beat the villain. ”

Lin Chaoge then pointed to a son next door who was writing poems with a curtain open, "Do you know whose family this son is." ”

"The second son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry, known as the rich five cars, just returned from a trip in mid-September."

"Then you say, can he be elected?" Not an inquiry, but a strange statement tone.

"It's man-made, and it depends on the mood of the person." The meaning of Su Man's words.

Lin Chaoge smiled silently. "Although the official position of this Ministry of Industry is not small, he is honest and upright, and his son is also taught well, although he doesn't know why he will participate in this competition, but he has no chance to know the inside story behind this."

I don't know if it's because I've been exposed to it since I was a child, although the son of the Shangshu family in the Ministry of Industry is not very good at school, but he is quite interested in farmland and water conservancy. He was able to make it to the last round, maybe the judges quietly released the water.

"Why does Childe know so well?" Su Man said he was curious, didn't he say that he rarely appeared in front of people?

"Know your opponent and know your friends, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles".

After Lin Chaoge and Su Man chatted for a while, the competition was coming to an end, and today's selection fell on the big screen.

Lin Chaoge looked at the most remote door in the corner of the second floor that had been closed thoughtfully, and the person who had just entered seemed to be a little familiar, and I didn't know if she was wrong.

"Please stop writing." The fat host, who was wearing a red robe and looking extraordinarily energetic, came out and said: "In order to show the fairness and justice of our Ivy Spring Pavilion, we will display the masterpieces of the thirty sons one by one, and everyone present will vote for the top ten talents in Beijing." ”

Lin Chaoge heard it, yo, this game is quite fair, if there is no insider, it will be a little interesting, but it is sure that it is the top ten sons, isn't there only seven places.

As soon as the host finished speaking, I saw several attendants of the Ivy Spring Pavilion put away the poems on the first and second floors and put them on the exhibition shelves.

Everyone watching downstairs watched excitedly one by one, Lin Chaoge inadvertently glanced at An Shangli who was looking at the opposite side, and hurriedly lowered her head, she was still haunted by the fact that she almost kidnapped her last time, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and a villain can take revenge anytime and anywhere.

I have to say that An Shangli has no ability to say about the writer, and he himself is not a straw bag, almost to the point of being fake.
