More than 200 Mingjing's renamed test papers were quickly reviewed by a group of staff members who served in the Wang family. The two test papers with the best scores were sent to the middle-aged man.

The handwriting of a test paper is neat and rigorous, and there is no mistake in all the answers. The middle-aged man stroked the long beard on his chin and looked at the name, it was Jun Ruochen, the concubine of the Qin Marquis Mansion. Satisfied, he put this answer sheet aside and nodded again and again. It seems that the top name of this Lizheng Academy is indeed worthy of its name, but it has that champion talent.

After taking the second test paper, the handwriting flew and jumped, which suddenly made the middle-aged man very displeased. After reading the answers, except for one error, they were all right.

The middle-aged man looked at the only mistake curiously, and immediately became furious, picked up the red pen, and made a big cross on the test paper.

After a while, Lu Jiu seemed to come to the room where the papers were being read, and saw the middle-aged man holding a teacup with an unswerving expression.

"Sixth brother-in-law, what happened to make you so angry." Lu Jiu asked in a low voice.

It turned out that this middle-aged man with a thin face and an extraordinary temperament in his eyes. It was the last year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty that the little Zhang Tanhua Zhang Xun of Jinshi and the first. married the sixth queen of the Wang family, who threw the hydrangea to him, as a concubine, and served as the county magistrate in Qinghe County, Hebei Province for eight years.

This year's term of office has expired, and when he returned to Beijing, he happened to meet his sister-in-law Wang Liuli to choose a son-in-law. So he volunteered to be the examiner of the Ming Scripture, but he didn't expect to encounter such a bastard.

took the big red cross test paper, looked at Lu Jiu with hatred, put it in front of him, and slapped it heavily on the table. "Ninth sister, this is the person you value! How could such a slippery and impudent person come out on top. ”

Lu Jiu took the test paper with some panic and looked at it carefully. One of the questions is selected from the pre-Qin chapter of "Mencius", the question and answer between Mencius and his disciple Jingchun.

The answer here should be that the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent. But the answer written by the road was, "Phew, shit stinks!" ”

Lu Jiu's face suddenly became extremely ugly, this was a very simple test question. Even a child who has been enlightened for a few years can easily answer. But this guy deliberately replied because Mencius ridiculed his ancestor Gongsun Yan in the Ghost Valley here, and Zhang Yi was not a big husband.

The angry Lu Jiuyi tore the test papers that had passed to shreds, and he was extremely angry in his heart, this hateful guy, did he really treat this recruitment as child's play!

Ming Jing test, not to mention the top three, even the top ten have no road name. Gu Xihua looked at the road with an embarrassed expression in some surprise: "Didn't you swear that you would be easy to compare?" Why is it that the Wang family chooses a son-in-law in the competition of more than 200 people, and you can't even enter the top ten. ”

"Well, there's probably something wrong with this." I touched my forehead when I passed, and I was a little afraid to see people.

The main examiner of the poem is an old man with white hair like snow, and his face is full of frustration and unwillingness. The weakest point on the road is this poem. With a thought, he quickly wrote the song "Will Enter the Wine" by Master Li Bai, which has not yet been handed down, on the paper.

The white-haired old man took the poem handed in by the first passerby, looked at it casually with slightly squinted eyes, and then his eyes widened.

"You don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning.

You don't see the sad white hair of Gao Tang Mingjing, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk.

… Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you. ”

The old man softly finished reading the song "Will Enter the Wine", and he was full of emotion for a while, and the old tears were rampant. He turned his back to the others who were still meditating, and waved his hand.

"You don't have to bother to do any poetry, as soon as this song "Will Enter the Wine" comes out, let alone waiting, even my entire Tang Dynasty, it is difficult for anyone to reach. Maybe only Mr. Taibai, the poet, can write a new one, and compare it with this one. ”

The others fryed like a frying pot, and they made a fuss, vying to read this poem that can be compared to Shixian Taibai. After a long time, they shook their heads again and again, and their expressions retreated.

Some people also think that I am afraid that even Mr. Taibai, the poet immortal, may not necessarily make a new song "Will Enter the Wine" and reach such a height.

The first place in this poem, he can be considered to have it after passing by, but he himself wants to escape from this place quickly.

Cheng Changmu hugged the road and was about to dodge by, looking at him with admiration.

"Brother, brother, you deceived us miserably. At the beginning, you were asked to chant poems to help the fun, but what did you say that the disciples of poetry immortals, under the high mountains, could not write poems. But your song "Will Enter the Wine" today, but it shocks the past and the present, and is praised by thousands of people. The disciple of the poet and immortal, the name is well deserved, and I am a fat man. ”；

Lu covered his face and lowered his head, his face turned red, and said to Cheng Fatzi in a low voice: "Let me tell you the truth, this poem "Will Enter the Wine", where can I write it, it is simply the poem of my master, Mr. Taibai." ”

Cheng Fatzi looked at the road with a messy face: "Is this okay?" ”

I took it for granted: "Why can't I do it, my master, Mr. Taibai's poems, are my poems." If you have the ability, you should also go to find a poet master. ”

Zhang Xun, who was excited with the manuscript of the poem and was looking for a way around, happened to walk behind the two of them and listened to the dialogue in its entirety.

"Teacher's apprenticeship, what a teacher's apprenticeship! It's the way, Mr. Shixian Taibai, why did you accept such a shameless person as you! ”

Zhang Xun pointed to the way, trembling with anger.

Zhang Xun left in a huff, and Cheng Changmu kept looking the road up and down, left and right.

"What do you see!" The road was annoyed in his heart, and he glared at Cheng Changmu angrily.

"It's so shameless, it's so shameless! Brother, my brother's admiration for you has reached a new height. ”

Cheng Changmu shook the fat all over his body and laughed insolently.

In the next two or three days, I always felt that everyone was looking at themselves strangely. Calligraphy, piano skills, and painting skills are abnormal. And Jun Ruochen won the first place in calligraphy and painting one after another, far ahead.

Gu Xihua, who won the first place in the piano skills, smiled proudly in front of the road. Lu Jiu walked over to the two with a gloomy face.

"It's way! You're deliberately having trouble with me, aren't you? ”

"Him! It was stealing his master's poems, and cheating won the first place in poetry. In the past two days, I have been a thief with a weak heart and played abnormally, but I didn't mean it. Gu Xihua hurriedly helped the red-faced road and explained.

"You don't really want to be the Zhao Kuo who can only brag and talk on paper." Lu Jiu didn't listen to Gu Xihua's explanation, and looked at the road coldly.

"Wang Liuli, you have shown me a good look, in the later competition, labor and management will definitely give you a few firsts to come back." The road was up, and the fire rose up.

"Really? Then I'll see. Lu Jiu succeeded in the method, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he left proudly.

There were not many people participating in the chess game, only about 60 people. The road is like a transfer, two byes in a row, leisurely looking around, soon lost interest.

In the round of 16, I shook the folding fan lightly and sat in front of the chessboard and waited for the opponent.

Gu Xihua worked hard to win two games in a row, and she didn't want to be the opponent in the next game, but she was "lucky" to get two byes. Seeing that everyone's attention was being popular, Qin Ruochen, the little son of the Qin Hou Mansion, was attracted to it. Gu Xihua quickly sat down in front of Lu Li, and smiled at Lu Lu in a charming manner.

"Lang Jun, can you let the family win once?"

Gu Xihua's voice was delicate, as if with a strange magic, which made people's bones crispy when they heard it.

If it was usual, if you were on the road, you would definitely lose your armor and lose the battle quickly. At this time, he made a stinky face and looked at Gu Xihua coldly.

"What do you say?"

"Humph!" Gu Xihua snorted coldly, and took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and slapped her hand fiercely on the road: "If you don't let me, you won't let me, I'm really afraid that you won't succeed." ”

He smiled slightly, and indifferently stretched out his hand to signal Gu Xihua to go first. Gu Xihua stood up angrily and turned her head away from him.

"I admit defeat, so I don't want to play chess with you, a guy who doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."

To put it mildly, he won two more without difficulty, and he made it to the final without being noticeable. On the other side, Jun Ruochen, who was in the spotlight and caused bursts of applause from time to time, also made it to the finals.

It was getting late, and the game was scheduled for the next day.

On the day of the game, the Wang family invited a disciple of the chess saint Wang Jixing to play chess in the courtyard. It also opened a handicap for those who watched the game and gambled on chess.

Countless guests and idlers have bet on Qin Ruochen of the Qin Hou Mansion, and Qin Ruochen will lose one and five points. Except for a few people who want to speculate, almost no one is optimistic about the road, and the handicap is 11 to 11.

Gu Xihua took out all the valuable things on her body, but there was still not much, so she looked at Boss Hu and the others. Liuzi Boss Hu was reluctant, took out one or two hundred copper coins for poor baba, and shook his head to indicate that he had nothing.

Gu Xihua took off Liuzi's jade pendant and held it in his hand, Liuliuzi was so desperate that he almost wanted to cry. This side has a special meaning for him, and the jade pendant was finally recovered from the clutches of the road, so is this going to be lost again.

"This girl is kind enough to take you two poor ghosts to get rich, why are you crying with a face." Gu Xihua said angrily.

"Really!" Pei Wuniang looked a little disbelieving.

"Do you think I look like a person who cheated you out of this little money?" Gu Xihua's face looked a little anxious.

Gritting her teeth, Pei Wuniang took out two pieces of jewelry given to her by Tang Xiaoqi from her head and body, took out all two hundred copper coins, handed them to Gu Xihua, and turned her head and stared at Li Sheng, who was like a fart, with eyes that could not be refused.

Li Sheng innocently touched his head, pitifully took out dozens of copper coins, and couldn't take anything out again. Pei Wuniang directly took off his saber and handed it to Gu Xihua along with the copper coins.

"That's my family's ancestral sword, if I lose, my family won't beat me to death with a stick." Li Sheng looked at his saber and muttered to Pei Wuniang.

"If we lose, we will ask our senior brother to compensate. If you win, you can earn more than ten times, don't you have the courage to be arrogant! Pei Wuniang was full of confidence and fearless.

Gu Xihua heard this, but fortunately, she was very confident in her chess skills. If he really loses, he won't be in a lot of trouble.

glanced at the handicap that bet on Qin Ruochen, and there was a sea of people. Gu Xihua weighed the things in her hand and sighed, this is still too little.

After looking around, he suddenly found Gu Ye Xiaodao and Ge Shu Xiaoye in a Taoist robe. The demeanor is dusty, just like a pair of immortal disciples. Gu Xihua smiled slightly and walked over.

"Gu Ye, Gu Ye, your junior brother is on the road to play chess with someone to win, don't you bet on him to support it, just watch here?" Gu Xihua was graceful and appeared in front of Gu Ye and Ge Shu Xiaoye.

Gu Ye looked at the personable young man in front of him a little confused, vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"I haven't asked yet, do we know this son?"

Gu Xihua reacted at this time, not everyone is like a road. No matter what kind of makeup you make, you can recognize it at a glance.

"I'm cherishing flowers, this time I came to participate in the Wang family's recruitment and son-in-law, and I changed a little, no wonder you didn't recognize it."

"Well, Miss Night and I are monks. For the competition between Senior Brother Lu and that Jun Ruochen, I can only cheer for him in my heart, bet on something, forget it. ”

Although this senior brother Lu is quick in mind and full of wisdom. But in the game, he still thinks in his heart that Jun Ruochen, who has won several talents in a row, is better than that tricky way, and the chance of winning is greater.

The sharp-eyed found that Gu Ye was a little red, Gu Xihua suddenly understood the reason and smiled.

"I don't know what the chess skills of Ruochen Gongzi of the Qinhou Mansion are. But I know better than anyone else about your junior brother's chess skills. His chess skills are superb, this Tang Chang'an, except for the chess saint king's salary, I'm afraid no one will be his opponent. ”

When Ge Shu Xiaoye heard this, her beautiful eyes turned again and again, and she couldn't help but secretly tap a few times on Gu Ye's back with her hand.

"Huh!" Gu Ye immediately laughed: "As a senior brother, the junior brother fights chess with others, so he naturally has to fully support it." ”

Cheng Changmu originally wanted to get close to Gu Yetao, and almost supported his ears, and he listened to all of this conversation.

Seeing Gu Ye and Ge Shu Xiaoye, all the pearl treasures on their bodies were taken off, and they rushed to the front in a hurry.

"Wait, wait! All my belongings were bet on my brother to win. ”

"Cheng Fatzi, aren't you Jun Ruochen's good brother. Why don't you support him, but support my Senior Brother Lu? Ge Shu Xiaoye looked sarcastic and looked at Cheng Changmu with a smile.

"Huh! No matter how good a brother is, I can't get along with money. Brother Ruochen acted squarely and rigorously, but Brother Lichen was extremely cunning. This game of chess, I'm better to suppress my brother. ”

Cheng Changmu had a smile on his fat face and a confident face, as if he hadn't heard their conversation at all.
