Back on the champion floor, it was late at night, the audience changed one stubble after another, and the time-consuming super competition was still going on.
Chen Ke and Liu Ji have already solved a total of 1,913 poems from the Xuanji map.
The loss of mental strength and physical strength in this competition is not something that Liu Ji, a weak scholar, can afford. He couldn't support it for a long time, his inside seemed to be hollowed out, dizzy, sweaty, and only supported by one breath.
"Slander and adultery, and harm my loyalty; The cause of the disaster is extremely arrogant! When he wrote the last poem, he felt that the world was spinning, and he threw his pen and fell on his back.
When he woke up, he found himself back in his lodgings, surrounded by a group of friends. Seeing that it was still dark outside, he asked, "How many hours have I slept?" β
"How many hours?" Friends laughed, "You slept for two whole days." β
"Ah......" Liu Ji was surprised: "So long? β
"No wonder, such a fierce war of attrition." My friend admired: "The spirit is naturally lacking. β
"It's a pity that I still lost......" Liu Ji's heart was gloomy.
"No, you didn't lose." Friends said a piece of news that surprised and delighted him: "After you fainted, no matter how many people called for it, Chen Zhongfang didn't answer another song." So, you solved one more song than him, or did you win. β
"Of course, in the big score, it was a 1-1 draw." Someone added.
"Really?" After a short period of rejoicing, Liu Ji fell into memory, he remembered that when he ran out of oil and dried up, Chen Ke was still calm and relaxed, and it seemed that it would not be a problem to solve the capital. How can you put the victory at your fingertips and not want it?
Thinking of Chen Ke in the first question, he only defeated himself by a slight advantage, Liu Ji's heart suddenly rose to enlightenment, and he covered his face with his hand and said: "Ashamed, Chen Zhongfang has the style of an ancient gentleman, but I am bent on being competitive and competitive, and I fall into the way of villains...... Liu Ji was ashamed and ashamed. Why didn't he know that in fact, he should have suffered two fiascos, and now he can end up decently, all because Chen Ke did not win, so he saved his reputation.
"Alas, Brother Dao......" In fact, a group of people in the Taixue Literary Association also had a good impression of Chen Ke, but they were worried that Liu Ji would not like it. I kept saying the opposite. Now I see that he has no grudges. He also persuaded: "Everyone wants to participate in the spring festival of the coming year, and it is very likely that they will be in the same year as the same department, so why should we engage in any confrontation?" β
"That's what I said. It's like I'm going to be antagonistic. Liu Ji got up depressedly.
"What are you going to do?"
"Go and throw in the towel with him." LIU Jidao; "People save face for us, we can't really pretend to be confused."
"Who are you going to find in the middle of the night? Go and admit defeat. Wouldn't it blow off Chen Zhongfang's good intentions? The friend persuaded: "I think, it's better to set up a table of wine another day, and invite the people of the Jiayou Society to sit together, and you will respect him several times at the table." β
"That's right." Liu Ji thought about it and nodded, "Arrange it quickly." β
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Chen Ke's side, naturally some people complained about him, how could he let go of the low-hanging fruit victory and let Liu Ji continue to deceive the world and steal his name?
"Liu Ji is not a deception and a thief, he has real talent and real learning." Chen Ke shook his head and said: "Such a person should leave him with dignity." After a pause, he said, "Say it again." Why do you have to be obsessed with winning or losing? It's nothing more than a false name, but it will make countless enemies. ββ¦,
"Yes, if you fail, you will naturally be laughed at, but you can win without being strong, but it is admirable." Su Zhe, who doesn't like to talk much, spoke for his brother-in-law this time: "This is the golden mean!" β
"Actually, Brother Zhong Fang has already earned it." Zeng Bu smiled: "That Liu Ji has been famous for a long time. I've already used you as a stepping stone, so there's no need to go over his head. β
"Whatever comes out of your mouth is so harsh." Chen Ke smiled: "But that's exactly the reason. β
After calming down the cadres, they dispersed.
After returning home, Song Duanping said to Chen Ke: "You have changed. Before. You'll definitely leave no stone unturned. β
"People change." Chen Ke sighed lightly: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, since you have stepped into this river and lake." I just want to be alone. β
"That's right." Song Duanping nodded and said, "I used to worry about your temperament and whether you would make too many enemies. β
"Alas, I wanted to live freely in this life." Chen Ke smiled bitterly: "But now I have discovered that people are mixed in this world, how can they be truly free and easy?" If you want to live freely, you must first have no enemies, and I am enough to attract hatred and no more enemies. β
"If only you could figure it out." Song Duanping smiled: "I don't have to worry about it in vain. Thinking that he was tired, Song Duanping didn't say anything more, and left to let him rest early.
Chen Ke couldn't sleep, as soon as his brain was highly excited, it didn't stop immediately; Second, it is inevitable that I miss my fiancΓ©e in Meizhou. It's a shame to say that after he came to Beijing, he almost didn't think much about his little sister. Although she will become his wife next year, Chen Ke has not yet been able to change from the relationship between brother and sister.
But today, when interpreting Xuanjitu, Su Hui's affectionate and lingering love poems made Chen Ke extremely envious of that Dou Tao. However, he immediately realized that why envy Dou Tao? I also have a smart and incomparable wife, her name is Su Xiaomei, no worse than Su Hui!
His ownerless and turbulent heart, in an instant, seemed to be tied to a red rope, and the other end of the rope was connected to Meizhou City, which was far away from the mountains and rivers.
He finally found that heart-pounding sensation before he got married, and he jumped out of bed, grinding paperweights, and preparing to write a not-so-stylized reply...... Although he kept a letter every three days with his little sister, he had to admit that he was basically dealing with business.
Thinking of relying on his little sister to marry Xuanji today, Chen Ke turned his feelings into fourteen words;
Meditate on the return period for a long time, remember the time of parting, and hear the leakage.
Then he put it in the envelope and sealed it to be sent out tomorrow.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Chen Ke was having breakfast, and the guard, Yuhou Li Zhong, came in with a stack of invitations. With a sneer: "My lord has become famous in one fell swoop this time, look, it's only been one morning, and more than a dozen invitations have been delivered." β
"Push it." Chen Ke's throat was a little hoarse, so he asked the kitchen to cook fresh lotus root, mung beans, white rice and rock sugar to eat fresh lotus root throat porridge. Yesterday was also an exhaustion for him, and it felt like another imperial examination, so the whole person was listless: "My father is going to get married the day after tomorrow, and I have to start getting busy." β
"Really pushed? That's a shame. Li Zhong picked out a few fragrant invitations, and said with a lewd smile on his face: "The invitations of the top ten oirans in Bianjing are not exchanged, not to mention that there is more than one." β
"Oh." Later psychologists said that the color heart is the driving force behind men's progress, and Chen Ke came to the spirit at that time. But immediately thinking of the story of Su Hui and Dou Tao, he secretly said, if I am too romantic and send it back to Sichuan, I can't say that I will make my little sister resentful, so it is better to keep a low profile first. β¦,
He smacked his lips with pity: "Forget it." β
"And one more." Li Zhong took out an elegant navy blue invitation and said, "You have to make up your mind." β
"Who's?" Chen Ke took a chopsticks and a refreshing crystal radish, and said casually.
"Zhao Zonghui." Li Zhong replied.
"Oh?" Chen Ke put down his chopsticks, took them and glanced at them and said, "Zhao Yunrang's third child?" β
"Exactly." Li Zhong nodded and said: "This Zhao Zonghui is erudite and talented, and his daily contacts are all literati and scholars, and he is a famous person. People say that being invited by him to be a guest at Bo Yi Xuan is a clear proof that the scholar has become a celebrity. Said with a flattering smile: "It seems that this time the adult has earned a lot of fame, and he is finally going to become a celebrity." β
"Are celebrities rare?" Chen Ke casually put it down, picked up the porridge bowl and said, "I'm not rare." β
"Your Excellency." Li Zhong wanted to speak again and again, but finally spoke: "There are some things that should not be said, but the adults are interesting enough to us, and I want to say a few words at the risk of offending the adults." β
"Please." Chen Ke put the bowl down again, and said, "I'll listen." β
"I think it's humble. If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you should also go. β
"Oh?"
"The adults don't seem to have a good impression of the people in the Runan Palace." Li Zhong said softly.
"Hmm." Chen Ke nodded, there is nothing to hide from this kind of person who protects himself closely.
"But right now, Zhao Zonghui's thirteenth brother Zhao Zongshi is very likely to become the prince, and if there is no dragon born in the official family, he may even become the emperor's son." Li Zhong lowered his voice and said: "Actually, although Zhao Zonghui likes to socialize with literati, but in private, this is also a means to win connections for his younger brother. So this invitation can be regarded as a solicitation for adults, even if they don't want to get close to them, they can't offend them. β
These words were obviously exchanged for people's hearts, Chen Ke was a little moved, nodded and smiled: "I know, you go get busy first, wait for me to think about it." β
"Yes." Li Zhong straightened up, hesitated, and then lowered his head and said, "Also, the future of the adult is bright, and he shouldn't be mixed with that Zhao Zongji." β
"What's the matter, is there a taboo for middle and low-level officials to interact with the clan?" Chen Ke frowned slightly. The children of the clan all live in the capital, and the officials also live in the capital, and the two sides inevitably intersect, and many people call them friends, and even marriages, there is nothing to shy away from.
"That's not true, it's just that the one in the Runan Mansion will be taboo......" After Li Zhong finished speaking, he secretly said What happened to him today? Why did you say what you shouldn't say and shouldn't say?
This is actually a by-product of Chen Ke's fame. Because he seems to be about to rush up, there will naturally be many people who will think about him and give him advice. And Li Zhong and the other guards are also fateful with him, of course, I hope that he can soar, and there will be a backer to lean on in the future-
