"Okay. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 At this time, Lu Yun had no choice but to nod helplessly and said, "That's it." ”

After receiving Lu Yun's accurate answer, Shang Luojia was also secretly relieved in his heart. Before leaving, she stroked the sideburns in her ear, glanced at Lu Yun with charming eyes, and said softly: "Very good, as long as you behave well, the incident just now is also negotiable." ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Yun didn't want to be led away by Shang Luojia, so he could only pretend to be stupid.

"Hehe, I'm leaving, you can continue to pretend......" Shang Luojia smiled and browled, waved the willow branch in his hand at Lu Yun, and flew away.

Leaving only a frustrated face, Lu Yun stood by the frozen pond, thinking about that eternal problem - why can a man defeat a fierce beast and a strong enemy, but always lose to a woman?

。

Three days later, it will be the day of the big competition.

The day before the literary examination, the officials of Honglu Temple were busy setting up the throne and the yellow case in the Wenhua Hall of Ziwei City, and placed thirty-two test tables neatly on the main hall. As for the felt mats and cushions under the table, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, they were also arranged one by one, and they were busy until late at night to complete the preparations.

On the second day, the sky was slightly bright, and the children of each valve who participated in the cultural examination boarded the bus one after another, preparing to go to Ziwei City to take the exam. The clansmen in each valve also got up early and sent each other inside and outside the square. The elders of the clan have their own ceremonies to see them off, which is the same as the previous martial arts test, so there is no need to repeat it.

The difference is that when the carriage drives out of each square, the surrounding crowd disperses, and there is no grand occasion of the whole clan going out during the martial arts test. This is not to say that the literary test is not so important, but the test is in Ziwei City, and no one is allowed to enter. And when people write articles in the house, they must be quiet, what's the matter with shouting and cheering?

There is also a deep-seated reason, that is, the Great Xuan Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and the whole people were martial...... No matter how much you write about flowers, you can't resist my head stab!

But from the perspective of the imperial court, if it is unified today, in order to facilitate the rule, it is natural to hope that Yanwu Xiuwen will be cultivated. Therefore, the imperial court naturally wants to elevate the literary test to the same level as the martial test. For this reason, the imperial court stipulates that the top four in the literary examination can also be rated as the second grade, just like the martial arts test. The remaining four places will also be arranged based on the results of civil and military affairs.

All the lords have always paid attention to both civil and military affairs, and it is impossible to blindly emphasize military and ignore literature, so wouldn't they cultivate the clansmen into simple-minded martial artists? Therefore, they are also happy to see that the imperial court will take the literary test, and they have been urging their children to study hard in addition to practicing martial arts. There are even Lu Valve, Cui Valve, who attach importance to culture and education over martial arts, especially Lu Valve, whose children's time for studying exceeds the time for practicing martial arts, and when selecting children, they also put the article in the first place.

is like Lu Yun's four people, when they were selected, only Lu Lin was selected purely by force, and the other three were all because of their well-written articles, so they could stand out......

It was the original scene that was the moment for the land valve to show its strength. It's just that this time by mistake, the martial arts test has already been in the limelight, and it is not good to be too high-profile at this time, so as not to make people angry.

Although Xiahou Ba was in Xiyuan and was full of kindness to Lu Valve, no one knew what this old fox thought in his heart......

So today, only Lu Yi and Lu Xin sent the test to the Lu valve, and the valve owner Lu Shang was directly absent from the illness......

was also absent due to illness, as well as Xiahou Rongsheng......

Xiahou Ba looked at Xiahou who was kneeling in front of him, and the dissatisfaction on his face overflowed: "What's wrong? Can't even hold a pen when Rong Sheng's injury is injured? ”

"Lord forgiveness," Xia Hou said with trepidation: "Ascending to the blood qi retrograde, it is already difficult to lift the pen, let alone write such a long article......"

"Really?" Xiahou Ba glanced at Zhu Xiuyi who was standing aside.

"That's true," Zhu replied softly.

"Hmm......" Xiahou Ba's expression was a little pale, and he snorted: "He won't go on like this, right?" ”

"Not really, don't worry." Zhu Xiuyi smiled and shook his head and said: "The son of Rongsheng has solid bones, and he is willing to endure hardships, he practices hard day and night according to the method taught by the student, and when he comes out of the snow, not only can he recover, but his skills can be improved to a higher level."

"Don't touch gold in his face." Xiahou Ba snorted a little uncomfortably, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go!" ”

。

A quarter or so from the hour, the children of each valve gathered outside the gate of Ziwei Palace. Compared with the day before yesterday in Xiyuan, when the children of the various lords competed against each other, today's atmosphere is obviously much more relaxed and peaceful. This is very understandable, after all, everyone no longer needs to fight life and death, just use the pen, and naturally no longer need to cultivate murderous spirit like a cockfight.

At this time, there was still a period of time when the door of the palace was open, and the children of the various valves greeted each other kindly, they were all familiar with each other, and after a few days of competition, they naturally had more to say.

Although Lu Yun was not familiar with these people, as soon as he appeared in the scene, he immediately became the focus of attention, and many people came over and politely bowed their hands to greet him.

"Master Lu, we don't know each other if we don't fight!" Pei Yuanshao also had a kind face at the moment, and seemed to have come out of the haze that he had lost to Lu Yun. He smiled and arched his hand to Lu Yun and said, "Pei Ju Pei Yuanshao, let's see each other again!" ”

"Brother Pei is polite." Lu Yun naturally didn't hold it up, and politely returned the salute to Pei Yuanshao: "In Xia Lu Yun, you don't deserve Brother Pei's honorific title, so you should call me by my name." ”

"Haha! Then I won't be hypocritical with you. Seeing that Lu Yun did not bully others, Pei Yuanshao smiled with relief, he was also the pride of the sky, so he naturally did not want to be inferior. After listening to Lu Yun's words, he felt a lot more comfortable, and his tone naturally became a lot closer. "It's really fortunate and unfortunate to be able to be the same year as Brother Lu."

"That's right." Cui Baiyu's clear and pleasant voice sounded, there was no audience today, his performance was much more restrained, he walked in front of the two with a smile, pointed at Lu Yun and said: "We have been sharpening our swords for more than ten years, and it is finally time to be in the limelight, but this stinky boy popped out of the crack in the stone, snatched all the limelight, and left us alone." ”

"You haven't been in the limelight enough." Pei Yuanshao rolled his eyes and said, "The entire Xiyuan is combined, and you are not alone!" ”

"It's a pity that I still lost to this kid." Cui Baiyu said this, but he said with a smile that he didn't care about: "Treat, treat, you must treat after the big competition!" ”

"That's a good thing to hear." Pei Yuanshao laughed and said to Lu Yun: "If you don't invite guests, how can you comfort these defeated subordinates." ”

Pei Yuanshao said so, and Lu Yunna still had room to refuse, so he had to nod and say, "It's an honor." ”

"Great, Master Lu has a treat!" Cui Baiyu suddenly shouted at everyone: "Who is going?" ”

"I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

"I'll you!"

This shouting didn't matter, and it attracted more than a dozen or twenty people to hula and surround him, and everyone laughed and said: "Master Lu is a treat, of course we want to enjoy it!" ”

"The surname Cui is not good," Pei Yuanshao squeezed his eyebrows at Lu Yun and said, "This is a posture to eat you poor." ”

"Fortunately, I just made a small fortune the day before yesterday." Lu Yun shook his head with a smile, raised his voice and said, "Today's big competition is over, it's time to celebrate, I invite everyone to eat and drink together!" "When he called rich, he naturally meant the money sent by Shang Luojia...... Lu Ying was embarrassed to accept it, but Lu Yun would not return it to Shang Luojia.
