Chapter 212: Losing face

On August 14, the competition between the Dongcheng Terracotta Division and the Guozijian was held at the gate of the Guozijian.

Although Guozijian is the home field, it is a passive response.

This challenge has already caused a lot of trouble in the capital, and it has had a great negative impact on the reputation of Guozijian.

Gao Jinda didn't want to fight, and was ready to solve the matter in a low-key manner.

So he sent Tang Siye and Wu Zhushu to quietly go to the Dongcheng Terracotta Division and promised to repay the money. The condition is that the game is canceled.

But he was resolutely rejected by Jia Rui.

Gao Jinda had no choice but to fight. The two sides agreed on the content of the game, rules and other matters, and invited a referee who was recognized by both parties.

At this time, a lot of people had already gathered at the gate.

In addition to the people of Guozijian, there are also many scholars from many places in the city, and people from the yamen.

The people in the patrol camp, Suncheonfu, Jingying and other places also paid great attention to this matter because they also owed money to those merchants. Secretly sent someone to observe the movement.

It is said that today in the early dynasty, the second assistant Zhao Yansong also mentioned the matter, saying that Guozijian had lost his dignity.

Gao Jinda has always been close to Shoufu Wei Delin, so people suspect that this is Zhao Yansong taking the opportunity to attack Wei Delin.

Several people came to the Hanlin Academy, including Jin Heling, the editor of the Hanlin Academy.

Jin Heling and Xu Daozhong are fellow scholars, and the two turned out to be colleagues in the Hanlin Academy. He has a good personal relationship with Xu Daozhong and Gao Jinda.

His poetry is very good, and he is known as one of the three people with the best poetry in the Dade Empire today. So this time I was asked to be a poetry judge.

The other referee is Qian Dazhong, the doctor of calendar calculations of Qin Tianjian.

Qin Tianjian observed the stars and compiled and revised the calendar, which required a lot of calculations, and Qian Dazhong was an expert in calculations and a recognized mathematician in the Dade Empire.

Ask him to be the referee, and there is no objection from either side.

Jia Rui challenged Guozijian, and Xu Daozhong did not know about it in advance. By the time he got the news, it was too late.

He didn't want to come, but when it came to the affairs of the Soldiers and Horses, if he didn't even show his face, it would inevitably chill his subordinates, so he had to come hard.

He didn't think that Jia Rui could win the Guozijian, even if Jia Rui's poetry was very good, but how could his maid win the students of the Guozijian?

His greatest hope is that the two sides will draw, so that no one loses their dignity.

As for whether Guozijian will repay the money, he believes that after such a fuss, they are embarrassed not to pay back the money.

A gong sounded, and a team came from the east.

"Here, the people from the Dongcheng Terracotta Division are here."

There was a commotion in the crowd.

In front of this team was a group of archers on horseback to clear the way, and behind were the firearmed infantry. Behind them were three carriages, and behind them, there were archers and firearmour.

At the front are three horses, and the people above are Jia Rui, Zheng Tianlun, and Chen Yejun.

"Hmph, the posture is not small."

"What's the use of a big stance. It's just a bunch of rough people. A few maids still want to challenge the national eunuch, but they don't know how thick the sky is. ”

Some of the prisoners commented.

"Get out of the way and get out of the way."

Wei Ruolan shouted, and the people of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division came out to maintain order.

Soon, the people from the Dongcheng Terracotta Division came over, and Jia Rui, Zheng Tianlun, and Chen Yejun raised their hands and waved frequently to the people on both sides.

Ma Shangde, Jiang Zining and several other people from the Soldiers and Horses Division naturally couldn't leave today's scene behind, and they also rushed here early, waiting to see the excitement.

At this time, seeing the smug appearance of Jia Rui and the others, he was angry.

"Look at their virtue, it's like a soldier."

Marchand exhaled.

"Yes, it looks like a villain. Do you know what I want to do most at the moment? It's to take these bastards down and beat them up. ”

"Don't worry, when they lose and lose the face of our soldiers and horses, it's not too late to clean them up."

When they arrived at the platform, the team stopped, and Qiu Liang greeted him.

"Tianxiang, are you all together?"

"It's all right, let's go."

"Okay, Ruolan, you go in and inform the adults that the people from Dongcheng have arrived, please ask them to appear."

Wei Ruolan said yes and trotted in.

After a while, some people came out of the courtyard.

The first to come out was the participating team of Guozijian, a total of nine people. Then there are Xu Daozhong, Gao Jinda, Jin Heling, and Qian Dazhong.

The Guozijian team went directly to the stage and sat on the east side.

Then the team of the East City Terracotta Division came on the field.

In front was Jia Rui, followed by three fifteen or sixteen-year-old maids dressed as people.

On the side of the carriage under the stage, there were also maids such as Zijuan and Jinhuan.

Originally, Mama Wang and Miaoyu's Mama also wanted to come, but they didn't let them come because they were afraid of revealing their stuffing.

Jia Rui sat down first, then Daiyu, Miaoyu, and finally Qingwen, who was dressed as a maid.

As soon as the three of them sat down, the audience began to talk in a low voice.

"These girls are so beautiful."

"Yes, especially the first two, looking at that look and demeanor, there are quite a few ladies in the demeanor."

"This is what you haven't seen, let me tell you, the commander of Najia is a person from Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion is the home of poetry and hairpins, and even the maid knows how to read it."

Ni Er said.

At this time, Ni Er and Zhou Jia were always wearing civilian clothes and mingling in the crowd as nurseries.

"It turned out to be someone from Rongguo Mansion, no wonder so. By the way, I heard that Commander Jia is this year's new science and technology sergeant. ”

"Since she is a Jinshi, her maid is not bad."

The rice shopkeeper who was mixed in the crowd said.

Today is a meeting to collect debts from them, and they naturally cannot be absent from this kind of occasion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come on."

Qiu Liang shouted, Gao Jinda, Xu Daozhong, Jin Heling, and Qian Dazhong came to the stage in turn and sat on the main seat.

"For the debt collection of the Dongsi Pai property market households, the Dongcheng Terracotta Division challenged the Guozijian competition, and asked the Hanlin Academy to preside over the editing of Lord Jin."

As Qiu Liang shouted, Gao Jinda's brows furrowed.

Qiu Liang, you are a puppet, you started to talk about it from the beginning, in front of so many people, why do you have to mention debt collection.

This matter has caused a storm in the city, and the face of the Guozijian has been lost, you can die if you don't reveal this scar. Isn't that just a deliberate attempt to embarrass me?

Gao Jinda was right, Qiu Liang deliberately embarrassed him.

Jin Heling, who was on the main seat, stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you already know the purpose of this competition. The old man didn't say much. Get straight to the point at the moment. ”

"The first item in the competition is poetry. There is one Dongcheng Terracotta Division and six Guozijian. It can be one song per person, or it can be more than one song per person. There are three songs in total to decide the winner. ”

"One or two songs are fine, just admit defeat on one side."

"The second test is arithmetic. Dongcheng Terracotta Division is three maids. Guozijian is two doctors of arithmetic and one supervisor. There are three questions each time, and the one with fewer mistakes wins. If there are no mistakes, the one with the least time wins. ”

"Lord Jin, the Dongcheng Terracotta Division is just three maids, two doctors of arithmetic and one supervisor in Guozijian, is this a competition, is it bullying?"

Mixed in the crowd, Ni Er said suddenly.

His task today is to stir up the situation and make the country as embarrassed as possible.
