Chapter 33: The Contest (1)
Then said to Li Xiangzhi: "You are Li Yi, right?" ”
"Exactly the students? Listen to the teachings of the teacher. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hmm! Three years ago, the old man also had an impression of you. When you succeeded in the county examination and the government examination, you had a child for more than half a year, and you were preparing for the college examination, and later your father entrusted the relationship of Mr. your private school to send you to Xiangcheng Academy to study, and after studying for two months, you participated in the college examination, fortunately you passed the college examination that time. But it's a pity that you only stayed in Xiangcheng Academy for less than three months after the college exam, and your family changed so suddenly that you abandoned your studies for three years. In the end, he also suffered from the disease of losing his soul. If you are still interested in the imperial examination, even if you go to the county to study, you can return to Xiangcheng Academy for a few years. ”
Only then did Li Xiangzhi know a little about why he became a student of Xiangcheng Academy.
"Thank you for the teachings of the teacher, the students will definitely return to Xiangcheng Academy in the near future, and they will never disappoint the hopes of their parents and the teachings of the teacher."
"Hmm! The child can be taught! Lu Xinshi nodded and smiled.
"What Xiangcheng Academy is back? It's better to go to Wuzhong Academy for a change of environment. A majestic voice suddenly rose from behind.
Another group of people, coming from behind, led by four people, all in white cloth and green shirts, it seems that they are undoubtedly teachers and students of Wuzhong Academy, after Tang Bohu and others saluted one by one.
Lu Xinshi smiled at the person who spoke: "Brother Fudan is still so funny. ”
The person who came was a well-known teacher of Wuzhong Academy, Lu Qing's character was Fudan, with long eyebrows and round eyes, gray and white hair, and he was thin, but his eyes were clear and spirited.
"The old man is not joking, I heard that I have lost my soul in this life, and I can't remember many things, so I definitely can't remember passing through Xiangcheng Academy."
Of course, this Lu Fudan is naturally not really here to recruit people, how will everyone understand that he is joking? Because Li Xiangzhi is not outstanding at this time, there are so many talents in Jiangnan, and there are many 'mediocre' talents like Li Xiangzhi.
Lu Xinshi said: "In any case, he is still a member of my Xiangcheng Academy, today is the time for these juniors to show their talents, we are just spectators, and there is nothing else to say." ”
Before Lu Fudan could say anything, an unfamiliar voice suddenly laughed: "The two gentlemen came early?" ”
Lu Xinshi and Lu Fudan were both stunned, and Lu Fudan smiled: "Brother Yicheng? I didn't expect this little student competition to be able to alarm you, a busy person, today. ”
Lu Xinshi said: "This is really unusual, today's day can be described as unremarkable, but a grand event was born out of thin air, but I hope that these junior students can compete for some anger and live up to today's spectators." ”
The visitor said: "I also happened to wander here, but the two gentlemen know that I am good at these poems, texts, piano and chess, so popular in Wu County, how can I not come to see?" ”
Xu Qingzhi secretly said to Li Xiangzhi: "Xiangzhi's situation is a little wrong, we can't lose too badly?" Otherwise, we will die. ”
"Ahh What, do you want to win? By the way, who is this person? It seems that the dean is very respectful to him? ”
"Changzhou County ordered Tang Yicheng."
"Huh? Do you say the head of East Suzhou? ”
"That's right! However, Tang Yicheng is more easy-going, as long as he does not wear official uniforms, he treats literati as peers, and as long as it is this kind of lively poetry and songs, he likes it the most. ”
Li Xiangzhi came to the Ming Dynasty, this is the first time he has seen an official, although he is only a magistrate, from the sixth grade. The Ming Dynasty stipulated that the county order grade was divided into three grades, the annual tax grain was less than 100,000 stone, which was the upper county, the county order was from the sixth grade, the grain was below 60,000 stone for the middle county, the county order was seven grades, the county order was below 30,000 stone for the lower county, and the county order was from the seventh grade.
Cheung Chau is undoubtedly a giant county.
Lu Xinshi regretted it a little, he shouldn't have come here to join in the fun, of course he knew the reputation of the fourth son of Wuzhong, and he also had a heart hanging in his heart, if he lost too badly, he would lose face.
Periphery of Little West Lake.
"Bet, bet, buy and leave, this Wuzhong Academy and Xiangcheng Academy are eight talented people, and it is rare to see them in a hundred years. Passing by, bet, we are SB Casino, the credibility is absolutely guaranteed. ”
"How's the odds?"
"If you pay to win or lose, Wuzhong Academy is 50 to 1 than Xiangcheng Academy, 5 to 5 for a draw, and 10 to 1 for a loss."
"Huh? So low? So I take 50 yuan as a bet, and if I win, I will earn 1 yuan? ”
"This son, the gap between Wuzhong Academy and Xiangcheng Academy is not a little bit, these 2 dollars are still given to you for free, are you still not happy? Besides, you can change to other ways to play, such as if you say, lose Xiangcheng only one time, 1 to 5, lose two games, 1 to 1, lose three games, 1 to 5 percent (0.5), lose four games 1 to 1 percent (0.1), and then lose more, all 1 to 1. ”
As for the odds of Wuzhong Academy, it is very high, and it will cost 10 times to lose a game, and the follow-up is a hundred times and a thousand times the loss, and the gambler's buddy is still spitting on the flying star wildly, and several tourists are secretly shaking their heads on the side.
"Yue'er, it seems that this casino has decided that Xiangcheng Academy will lose, and it will lose three or four games. Giggle...... "It was Tang Rou, a gentle woman like blue water, who spoke like blue water, and she was dressed as a civilian at this time, but she couldn't stop the alluring appearance at all.
Su Mingyue is still in the same costume as before, looking like a delicate son, a pair of clear and bright eyes are like stars in the sky, which can attract people away, at this time she lightly opened her lips and said with a slight annoyance: "This bastard, knowing that he is going to lose, still agrees on that kind of ...... That kind of bet. ”
"Giggle...... We're almost over, but after we lose, I'm going to fall into the well. At this time, Qi Min suddenly came up and shouted with a cute look on his face.
Su Mingyue glared at her fiercely and said, "Let's go over." ”
Tang Rou said: "Later, I will find a good opportunity to get on the boat, and then get on the boat while my father is talking, so that he can't find out." ”
With Tang Rou's two rough bodyguards by his side, the three sisters went straight to the building boat without hindrance, of course, after being intercepted, as long as Tang Rou secretly explained that her father was on the boat, then everything would pass.
Li Xiangzhi inadvertently saw Su Mingyue and Tang Rou Qi Min secretly boarding the boat, and immediately stared blankly at a few people to turn to the boat, of course, Su Mingyue and the three of them also noticed Li Xiangzhi, Tang Rou nodded at him, Qi Min stuck out his tongue at him, Su Mingyue glanced at him and didn't dare to look at him, of course, there was no blush, Li Xiangzhi naturally couldn't see it.
"It's a cheat, I swore to stay away from him when I saw this Su Yinchen twice, why did I bump into him again today." Li Xiangzhi settled down, and after seeing Su Mingyue twice, he thought that something embarrassing had happened, so Li Xiangzhi saw Su Mingyue like a mouse seeing a cat, there was an inexplicable dodge, and he didn't know where it came from. Although he was not happy to see Su Mingyue, Li Xiangzhi stretched his neck and unconsciously looked at it twice.
At this time, there were also some ships that approached and surrounded the big boats, so that they were as airtight as if they were in an attic on the shore.
Li Xiangzhi, Tang Bohu and others sat in two parties, all staring at each other with a little helplessness. The teachers who sat down actually started chatting about the sky one by one, and as a student, they naturally couldn't interfere with it, so they could only wait for meditation.
Tang Yicheng chatted and suddenly felt something different, and suddenly said: "Gentlemen, today is not the time to catch up with the past, you see that these descendants have been sitting for a long time. ”
Lu Xinshi said: "Yes, yes, I'm about to forget about business." Then he drank to Li Xiangzhi and others: "Today, I will only come to watch and see, how should you compete, or make your own decisions." ”
Tang Bohu said: "Today, the teachers came to supervise me and other students, and the students feel very honored. Today, the teachers are here, and the students implore the teachers to be our judges and supervise our knowledge. ”
Of course, this is just a scene, since there is a big guy here, even if there is any dispute, it is just their final word.
Tang Yicheng, Lu Xinshi, Lu Fudan and others sat on the bow of the ship in the north, and directly opposite was the cabin, and Li Xiangzhi and Tang Bohu and others were separated on both sides.
A few bearded people on the seat nodded very happily, Tang Yicheng had the highest status, and after a few symbolic shirks, Tang Yicheng said: "You compare yourself, we will not interfere with it, but if there is something difficult to decide in the competition, then we will mention one or two!" ”
"Thank you, teacher!" Eight people said in unison. Tang Yicheng's words are already very transparent, they don't referee, but they can comment and give opinions, and the others will do it themselves.
Lu Xinshi said: "Today is not an exam, you just have to wait for me to not exist, don't be too restrained and affect your mood." ”
Li Xiangzhi said secretly: "Listen to what you say." ”
He also felt that Yali Mountain was big. If it was really a regular fight between the two academies, it would be impossible for Zhang Mengjin to make that kind of bet.
Several people looked at each other, Zhang Mengjin clapped his hands, and two big men brought a low square table, placed it in a huge place in the middle of the two rows of seats, and then took out two guqin reviews and put them on the table.
Zhang Mengjin said with a peaceful face: "In the first scene, the piano art is dealt with by the people. I don't know who is going to this bureau with fellow brothers in Xiangcheng? ”
"It's down!"
