The self-proclaimed son-in-law likes to show his talents in front of beautiful women, and Tang Xie is no exception.

Although Tang Xie admires Liu Ru is literary talent very much, he will also have a conceit in his heart, no matter how outstanding your Liu Ru is literary talent, it is also on the poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, because Liu Ru is cultivated as the Oiran of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, she will not go to the imperial examination, naturally she will not go to the discipline to cite articles, even if she has dabbled in the Four Books and Five Classics, she will not study the eight strands of the text, the problem, the title and so on.

"Yes, Miss Liu, I wonder if you would be interested in discussing with us and others and judging the article?" Even Xie Tai came out to help.

The rest of the people are also a little enthusiastic, and some of them really think that Liu Ruye is very talented, and he is even proficient in the imperial examination articles.

Liu Ru hugged the pipa, got up and saluted: "Forgive me, the slave family only knows a little about learning, and they dare not offer ugliness in front of your Fang family." ”

"Haha." Han Yu said with a smile, "Miss Liu is too modest, who doesn't know that Miss Liu is outstanding in learning, if she goes to the imperial examination field, I am afraid that she can also discuss the Jingwei article, and even I am afraid that I will have to worship!" ”

Liu Ru hurriedly denied it, but she was very curious about the articles of the students present, and it was also her unique strength as a dusty woman, and she also wanted to know what the so-called imperial examinations were, and how far away she was from the academic gap between the entry class of a middle-class scholar clan and the people who tried to raise people.

Liu Ru also wanted to compare with Ji Ning, she was angry in her heart, she secretly wondered: "Why are you Ji Ning like me, just making some poems, but in the end you can participate in the lift?" With your identity as a shadow showman, the article may not be better than the good, right? ”

She bowed and said, "If you don't give up, the slave family also wants to appreciate your sons' talents and learning, hoping to benefit their own learning." ”

"Okay, okay." Tang Xie was very interested when he learned that Liu Ru was willing to participate in the discussion of the article, so he picked up the previous article by Jiang Cheng and said, "Everyone, we might as well talk about Jiang Gongzi's article first, if you want to say that Jiang Gongzi's talent and learning have always been outstanding, presumably these three articles and four books should also be excellent works." ”

This is obviously a compliment, Jiang Cheng is just a talent who was admitted two years ago, and he barely ranked in the third class in last year's scientific examination, and got the opportunity to participate in the township examination.

Jiang Cheng is not good at learning, but he is a little proud, he thinks that he has played well in this township test, so he wants to take out his own articles to show off his literary talent at this time, but he doesn't know that Tang Jie, Han Yu and Ji Ning and others are not only profound in poetry and sacrifice, but even poetry and articles are definitely the best in Jinling City.

Jiang Cheng said with a smile: "Where is it, I just made the third interception of the article, and I ask you to give me advice." ”

"Brother Jiang, how polite is this? We're waiting for your teaching. A group of people opened Jiang Cheng's article amid laughter.

is also the truncation question from "The Mean" and "Analects", which is also about the gentleman who remains unchanged until death when the country has no way, but he only discusses the first half, and selectively ignores the "is it tolerable or unbearable" in the second half of the truncation question.

It's like an argumentative essay, you only discuss half of it, which means that the arguments and arguments are very biased, even if the article is written in a fanciful way, how can others give you a high score?

After Song Rui read Jiang Cheng's article, the candidates present were also pondering the content and meaning of the article, as well as the literary brilliance contained in it.

As a person who relied on his real ability to be admitted to Xiucai, the article is also stable, there are not many outstanding places, but it is also decent, except for the argument is a little biased, purely on the article's breaking and starting shares, undertaking the topic, etc., this article is not badly written. Even a student like Xie Tai couldn't help but nod and said, "Brother Jiang's article is also exquisite. ”

Everyone else nodded.

At this time, Liu Ruyi, who was behind the curtain, was also pondering this article, and she asked herself if she couldn't write this kind of article, that is to say, with her talent and attainments, it was difficult for even Xiucai to be admitted. But Xiao Juan, who came in from the side door behind her, said with some disdain: "Miss, it's not unusual for me to listen to this article, what's so good?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Ru glanced up first, and made sure that the attention of those sons and brothers was not here, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's none of your business here, quit, so as not to laugh and be generous!" ”

"Miss, don't be surprised, the slave doesn't speak." Xiaojuan has a close relationship with Liu Ruyi, she doesn't want her young lady to be judged by a group of pig brothers in the banquet hall, especially when she knows that Ji Ning, who was ashamed to let her young lady wait for four days, is also present, and she wants to come to see how Ji Ning made a fool of herself.

Although Tang Jie, Han Yu and others all felt that Jiang Cheng's article was very ordinary, but out of politeness, no one stepped on it, after all, the real end of the township test was a matter of the day, and people had just finished the exam, so you devalued other people's articles as worthless, which was not a gentleman's doing.

Suddenly, I heard a very arrogant voice coming from the door of the banquet hall: "What kind of talents and celebrities should I invite, it turns out that they are all incompetent people who can't even write articles!" ”

"Who's making a big fuss?" Jiang Cheng heard that someone was so demeaning about him, he turned around angrily and looked at the door, and saw a person with a scar on his face, holding a folding fan in his hand, passing by with several students who were also taking the township examination this year.

This person is also a famous person in Jinling City, and it is Wu Bei. Wu Bei's talent is also good, although he is not Xie Yuan, he is recognized as one of the top three among young talents, and his reputation is even above the top ten Tang Jie, which Jiang Cheng cannot provoke.

As for the students who walked with Wu Bei this time, their reputation was much lower, there were only two banquet halls on the entire fifth floor, and I saw that the banquet hall next to it was empty, and I heard that it was wrapped down, so it goes without saying that Wu Bei invited candidates to a banquet in the township examination, who would have thought that he heard a "bullshit" article by Jiang Cheng, so he came in to be sarcastic.

"What do you want to do? This is a private place for guests, and you are not welcome here unless you are invited! Xie Tai walked over and said sharply.

Wu Bei laughed, and the scar on his face showed that his smile was very hideous: "Wu just walked to the door, and when he saw that the door was open, he wanted to come in to visit, and when he heard an unbearable article, he wanted to come in and give some advice. ”

Tang explained: "Your Excellency, don't deceive people too much, we are here to discuss the article, what does it have to do with you and these friends of yours?" ”

"It's nothing to do with us, but we also want to invite Miss Liu to come over, drink a few glasses of water and wine together, and discuss poetry articles with her at the same time. Wu Bei looked at Liu Ruyi, there was no admiration in his eyes, there was a faint hostility, as if he realized that Zhang Linwu's disappearance was related to Zhang Linwu's pursuit of Liu Rushi.
