It is said that Li You took the Qinglou Flower Test, and for a while, a hundred flowers were in full swing, and the group was waiting to be selected. The date of the flower examination was chosen two days before the college examination, April 23.

When the news reached Shi Shenzheng's ears, he just smiled contemptuously and said: "This generation indulges in lustful dogs and horses to seek comfort, so there is nothing to worry about." ”

Why didn't Lord Shi take advantage of the victory to pursue and impeach Li Tuiguan for a crime of violating morals and customs? As soon as Li You joined forces with so many children of local wealthy families, he was a bit of a bogeyman.

Second, Lord Shi didn't believe that Li Tuiguan was unprepared, what is taught without class, what is edified, what persuades people to be good, and so on, must have been prepared a long time ago.

Thirdly, Li Tuiguan has been sympathized with by public opinion recently, which has caused Lord Shi to have a somewhat intolerable reputation, and he doesn't care about it, but he still minds in his heart. If he continues to fall into the trap and use such things that the people like to see as a crime to punish Li Tuiguan, it will inevitably further confirm the rumors of narrow-mindedness in the mouths of the people.

However, it was said that Li You insisted on setting up the Flower Examination Institute around the Suzhou Fugong Academy, and everyone thought that Master Li was angry and used this way to brush up his sense of existence, after all, there were hundreds of scholars who wandered around and wandered around.

At noon, in a nearby restaurant, it was a thriving scene of business. Ten of the guests were literati, and most of them were children who came to take the exam, and there were many people who talked and exchanged news.

On the Eight Immortals table in the middle of the lobby, there were six people sitting around, and the youngest one was holding a piece of paper and bowing his head to read, and suddenly clapped the case and shouted: "I missed the question!" ”

It's a shocking sentence, don't forget that it's not far from the time of the hospital exam, and how sensitive the two words are missing. The entire restaurant was silent, and they all looked at it. There are those who are angry, those who are hopeful, those who are flattering, those who are contemptuous, those who are unbelieving... The young man realized that something was wrong, looked up, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I said the flower test, and when I read the flower test post, I saw that I was speechless in the excitement, which disturbed you, and I was guilty of sin." ”

It turned out to be the flower test made by Li Tuiguan, not the hospital test, I was nervous for a while... Everyone laughed and passed.

"The imperial examination of my generation involves fame and fortune, and it is just a matter of corrupt people's hearts and corrupt the powerful to pass the test. Now this Qinglou Flower is just a trial game, and it can also be a scandal that misses the question, how can it be embarrassing! The young man shook his head and said, causing a lot of discussion.

"How can you miss the topic? There is no shortage of money for these principals. ”

"It's really shallow, beautiful candidates can promise each other with their bodies, confuse people with color, and talk about what kind of silver."

"I am the same candidate, the world is different, I want to commit, who will accept me!"

"Seniors, let's talk about it, won't those principals join forces to hold the exam for this purpose? It's really envious. ”

If you have an acquaintance passing by, you will definitely find that the young man who lost his voice is none other than Li Zheng, a child of Xujiang. He got a sponsorship from Li You, and he made a generous move in the style of Meng Wei in the rush to take the exam, and made literary friends.

Li Zheng didn't tell a lie, the question of this flower test really leaked out early. It has become an open secret, and even the examiner has not come forward to deny it.

Every candidate who gets the news first scolds the dead examiner with a trouser belt like paper paste, and sooner or later collapses at the head of someone's bed! After that, they asked gunmen to do it on their behalf, anyway, there were many people who read at this time, and some even asked for a hundred taels of money.

"What's going on!" Zhao Liangli asked Li Youdao: "Why did you get ugly?" The exam papers have been printed! Now everyone outside knows that the flower test is based on the theme of the spring boudoir to compose seven laws and five songs, yes or no? ”

Li You replied indifferently: "That's the question." ”

Zhao Liangli was very strange, "You are the main examiner, and only you know the questions you make." Which capable girl can fool you into taking away the topic? ”

"I passed it out on purpose."

"Why?!"

"You also said that most talented women in Qinglou can't actually write poems, and venting the questions is just to tell them to prepare in advance, so that they won't make a fool of themselves in the examination room, and it will also save you and me from being unsightly. Besides, those beauties think that they must find a gunman to do it on their behalf, won't it expand the influence of this flower test? Besides, the better the beauty, the better the gunner, and it is probably impossible to go wrong. This is not a national talent ceremony, so why take it so seriously. ”

"Reasonable!" Zhao Liangli applauded and praised: "However, Chen Mengxiang, Zhang Lenglan, and Qi Xiaoxia, who are recognized as talented girls in the house, are going to suffer, but I am afraid that they will not be able to convince the public." ”

Li You flickered and said, "It's easy to say, these few will go to the front first." The following rankings will be determined according to the situation. ”

Zhao Daguan was persuaded by Li You and returned satisfied. He can also explain to a few good people when he goes back.

There is a saying that celebrities and beauties are happy with each other. Baume & Mercier should be lined with beauties, and beauties should be supported by Baume & Mercier. It can be seen from this that the writers and the literati really complement each other and use each other, well, it is not excluded that the world has its own true feelings.

Now that the flower test has missed the question after the hype, as soon as the beauty exerts its strength, a large number of unsuccessful readers are involved, which really stirs up a river of spring water. Various exam-taking writers have snared talented people's masterpieces, and there are already dozens of well-prepared ones to choose from. The beauties competed, and the literati also racked their brains, and the competition on the bright side became even more fierce, which was simply white-hot.

Fortunately, those who came from various counties will focus on those who are famous for their poetry among the scholars who come to Fucheng to take the exam, and fully tap the resources. Under the double temptation of money and beauty, for a time, the candidates chanted poems and sentences, and many wanted to become famous with a poem, and boasted of being the guests of the beauty.

In the end, everyone found out that Master Li's trick was too ruthless. But the situation has been fought to this point, and everyone can't get off the thief ship, so they have to be unstoppable and want to die.

And what is more tricky is that no matter what the exam is these years, you have to study the tastes and preferences of the examiner, but judging from the works of Li's main exam, the style has changed a lot, and there are all kinds of things. The ghost knows what type he admires the most in his heart, and he asked more than sixty beauty candidates to be entangled to the extreme when choosing the answers.

If the above is still the competition on the surface, the intensity of the competition in the secret is not far behind.

This said that Zhao Daguan found Li You again, made an angry and embarrassed state, and slapped the poster that was printed and distributed in front of Li You, "You need to explain!" That's what you hired to do? ”

Li You glanced at it, and it wrote: "Today's news and all the gentlemen know that the flower test is imminent, and yesterday it was said that there was an endless stream of things about the joints. Xujiang famous flower Yao Xing'er Lou Xinyue successively visited his old friend Li Tuiguan Qing Lantern bright candle to have a long talk, Fucheng talented girl Chen Mengxiang Qi Xiaoxia will get along together, Zhao Sanye black light blind fire all night out. Another..."

Zhao Daguan, who is a game life, will not be angry about the scandal that is made up randomly, but it is difficult to understand Li You's behavior.

"I told them to write it like that. Anyway, it's just a joke and makes everyone happy, who will take this as a real imperial examination. Li You said indifferently.

"Then what do you intend to scribble like this?" Zhao Liangli couldn't understand Li You's mind more and more.

Scandals and scandals are the only way to attract attention in any era... Li You said: "Do others like to watch it? Since I love to watch, I wrote these on the poster, and I wrote that others love to watch more, and the more noisy it is, the more people pay attention to the flower exam. Do you want others to be indifferent? ”

Zhao Liangli didn't understand Li You's theory very well, and finally had to say: "In any case, don't write that I have a personal relationship with the beauty who participated in the flower test!" I'm an innocent man. ”

"Okay, then I won't write about you." Li You agreed.

So the next seal wrote: "Today's news newspaper and all the gentlemen know that Zhao San suddenly became an unpopular figure, and was coldly received by all the chroniclers, and finally no one cared about it. The inside story is to be investigated, and it is guessed as follows..."

Sure enough, as Li You expected, every time he personally compiled and printed a poster, the whole city rushed to see it as a talking point, and it had the effect of Luoyang paper being expensive. During this time, even the storyteller said: "Today's news and all the gentlemen know..."

"Today's news and all the gentlemen know, Gu Xiaotong, the flower of Tiger Hill, denounced the county chroniclers and said: Rural peasant women!"

"Today's news and all the gentlemen know, Kunshan Tan Suqing scolded Xiao Tong and said: You are just a local chicken outside the city!"

"Today's news and all the gentlemen know that Xujiang Yao Xing'er vowed to win the championship, and those who did not succeed would become monks. Cui Liyun sarcastically said that the frog at the bottom of the well was on the Fucheng Hao. ”

"Today's news and all the gentlemen know that Xujiang Lou Xinyue and Changshu Du Shuangting live in the same shop, and they have quarrels with each other, and the entourage scolds them for a long time."

"Today's news and all the gentlemen know that the fight between dozens of children in Changshu County and Tongsheng in Xujiang County should have nothing to do with Huakao.

………… In this case, it is not an exaggeration to call this flower test a high-profile and people's heart.

It seems that there is an invisible hand full of magic that secretly manipulates everything, but it is a pity that people have not experienced all kinds of devastation in the information age these years, and the resistance and immunity are not high, and the fanaticism of the human heart is easily provoked by novel situations.

On April 23, the day of the examination, the crowd of onlookers to watch the entrance of the beauty candidates filled the streets and alleys for several miles. The twelve directors urgently dispatched hundreds of families to maintain order at the entrance.

When the examiner Li You saw this scene, he actually remembered the ceremony of walking the red carpet at the Strange Fork Film Festival in his previous life.

After the roll call, search, and entry procedures, those role-playing game players didn't quite get what they wanted... There are thousands of pairs of fiery eyes staring at the periphery, how can there be an atmosphere of flirting with beauty candidates. I couldn't help but complain in my heart that Li You had gone too far.

There is no need to repeat the examination process, and there is no need to repeat the ranking of Master Li's examination, and the flower list was released on the twenty-fourth.

There are ten people on the first list, and the top three are Xujiang Yao Xing'er, Xujiang Lou Xinyue, and Xiatang Lu Qiyu.

There are 20 people on the second list and 30 people on the third list, among which Chen Mengxiang, Zhang Lenglan, Qi Xiaoxia and other famous talented women have all fallen into the third list.

After reading the list, public opinion under the list was in an uproar, and the voices of injustice were endless.

I've seen the black, but I've never seen the black to such a shocking cry of ghosts and gods - two of the top three on the flower list are old friends of the main examiner, one is the new benefactor of the main exam, but the recognized talented girl was beaten to the third list... The real imperial examination has not dared to blatantly cheat to such an extent!

In retrospect, this flower test has been scandalous and shady from the beginning!
