Chapter 58: Preliminary Round (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The official competition was held in the champion building, but because of the increasing number of people, it was impossible for the champion building to accommodate all the people, and the competition came and went with the preliminary round and the semi-final.
In the end, the top ten were selected for the finals, and the finals were naturally held inside the champion building, but they had the same meaning as the drafts of later generations.
Everyone who enters the top ten will be extremely favored, and because of this, Gu Huai dares to laugh at Jia Baoyu, the tenth and eleventh places are very different.
Although there are many people who participate, but those who dare to come over are not timid, and the people are only good at learning the four books and five classics, and poetry depends on talent, and there are too many great poets who have not been selected in their lives.
Jia Baoyu went upstairs, and saw that not only Xue Pan, but also Feng Ziying, Niu Jizong and others were also present, none of them would participate, they just came to cheer for Jia Baoyu and watch the excitement.
"Baoyu, I pressed ten taels of silver, and you will win." Xue Pan said such a sentence to Jia Baoyu as if inviting merit.
Jia Baoyu also knew that there would definitely be a gamble in this kind of thing, but he didn't want Xue Pan to win by pressing himself, although the odds were ten to one, but who would want to lose the money that was sure to win.
After meeting people one by one, Jia Baoyu borrowed one hundred taels of silver from Xue Pan, Xue Pan borrowed it without even asking, and he was still a little weak in the face of Jia Baoyu, because he pressed five hundred taels in Gu Huai.
Jia Baoyu saw that there was no reason not to participate in the gambling game, a concern, Jia Baoyu is full of confidence to win, and extra money is definitely to be earned.
Half an hour later, the preliminary round officially began, Jia Baoyu said goodbye to everyone in the room, and found a place to sit down at the preliminary competition point of the champion building.
There is also a difference between the children of the family and the children of the poor family, and many people can only be on the street outside.
Gu Huai looked at Jia Baoyu on the second floor, he was famous, and he didn't need the preliminary round to enter the semi-finals directly.
After a while, the title of the preliminary round came out, Yongmei, poetry can be.
This is a very popular topic, and the purpose of the preliminary round is only to select a group of people who think they want to run here after learning two lines of poetry.
Jia Baoyu saw that all the people here wrote directly without thinking, and immediately knew that he was not the only one who had a cheat sheet.
Ma Wenyou, who was not far from Jia Baoyu, also waved his pen, and after a while, he finished writing, and when he stepped forward to hand in the paper, he looked at Jia Baoyu and smiled provocatively.
Jia Baoyu didn't care, and officially began to write, Yongmei's poems are indeed too many, and there are countless good ones, written in seven words and four sentences, in one go.
After writing it, it was handed over to Jia Baoyu, the three examiners in charge of the review, and went down to wait for the news.
As for saying that the examiner was bought or something, it is categorically impossible, and the champion poems over the years have invited those respected Confucians, who love reputation more than money.
The three people invited this year are all doctors from Suncheon Academy, and no one will doubt them.
These people are all proficient in poetry, good and bad can be seen at a glance, whether they are unsuccessful or passed, there will be two people to review together, and when they encounter good poems, the three will appreciate it together.
With years of experience in teaching and educating people, these people are good at a glance, but Rao is so, hundreds of poems, uneven quality will also be a little boring, especially when most of them are bad.
When he saw an exam paper, one of them was shocked.
Such a voice suddenly appeared in the originally quiet state, which immediately attracted the attention of the other two examiners.
"What's wrong? Brother Wang. The examiner who made the exclamation was named Wang Ming.
Wang Ming listened to the question, and handed the exam paper in his hand to the man, "Brother Zhang is the best at seven-character poems, you can take a look at this one." As he spoke, he handed the poem to the examiner surnamed Zhang.
The examiner surnamed Zhang is named Zhang Chong, and the seven-word poem is extremely famous in the capital, and he took the test paper handed over by Wang Ming, which is Jia Baoyu's test paper.
Snow Plum
The east wind has the west wind, and the leaves in the mountains are empty. Only the plum blossoms are inexhaustible, and they are still new white and new red.
Zhang Zhong read the poem out, and the other examiner also heard it, and took the lead in expressing his opinion, but it was extremely brief, "Superior, you can enter the semi-finals." ”
The name of the person who spoke was Li Yuan, and he was a man of few words, and Wang Ming and the others were not surprised.
"This Jia Baoyu is a bit really learned." After all, it's only the preliminary round, and there are still hundreds of people waiting for the news, and a few people will no longer discuss Jia Baoyu's poem, which is a good poem, but it can only be regarded as a good poem, and there is nothing too eye-catching.
In about an hour, the review was officially over, and the three examiners handed the list of approved personnel to the people waiting on the side.
A total of 100 people passed, in no particular order, and Ma Wenyou was read in fifth.
"Don't fail to make it to the semifinals! Jia Baoyu. After showing off, he was about to leave, and Jia Baoyu's name came out.
Ma Wenyou's face was instantly the same as a pig's liver, and if Jia Baoyu provoked him a few more words at this time, he was afraid that he would be sick, but Jia Baoyu was not interested in Ma Wenyou now, and Gu Huai was the opponent that Jia Baoyu valued.
Because of Jia Baoyu's promotion, Ma Wenyou's good mood for just advancing is gone, but he is a little happy in his heart, fortunately, he didn't compare with Jia Baoyu, and the rematch with his strength is the limit.
"This Jia Baoyu can enter the semi-finals, it doesn't seem to be as unbearable as rumored!"
"Where can it be unbearable, at the age of fourteen years old to enter the semi-finals, there are only a few people for decades, I just don't know how to learn the scriptures."
"Where is this something that can be forced, the poems have a lot of urgency, and the scriptures are completely accumulated, he is already very good."
……
There are endless discussions like this, and Jia Baoyu found that he had underestimated the influence and recognition of this champion poetry club, and now it seems that even if he loses, he will be a big winner!
Glancing at Gu Huai upstairs, his face could no longer be as calm as before, Jia Baoyu's age and entering the semi-finals made public opinion completely tilt to his disadvantage.
signaled to the people of their faction, the importance of public opinion is very clear to the literati.
After a while, another voice sounded, but it was just a poem written by someone in advance.
The speed at which this sound spreads is much faster than the previous good voice, Jia Baoyu is not angry at all when he hears it, this is all expected, now it is time to see the rematch, as long as he can enter the final through the rematch, he will be completely invincible.
If he can defeat Gu Huai again, it can be said that he will gain both fame and fortune, and he is not in a hurry at all now.
