Suddenly, Zhong Wenbo had a kind of ecstasy of coming back from the dead, and he was stunned for a while, standing there at a loss and looking at Pan Beijia.

Pan Beijia looked at him and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Zhong, you have won the list of this poetry meeting!" ”

Only then did Zhong Wenbo confirm that the second place was really himself. Although he was the champion last year, he was only second this year, and he fell behind in the rankings, so he should have been sad, but he didn't feel a little sad in his heart, because he found one thing, that is, since he won the second place, the first place must be Lu Zhaolin! Because Lu Zhaolin is specially invited to participate in the competition, and he is the first talent in Beijing, and the champion winner of the Beijing Poetry Club, it is impossible to be excluded from the top three! Otherwise, it will be too bad to give Jingshi face. That is to say, Xiao Jiading is at most a fourth!

Ha Lu Ha! He really wanted to laugh, Xiao Jiading beat him every time, this time, he was actually stepped on behind in public, this kind of refreshment made him more excited than he won the champion himself.

Xiao Jiading's face was also difficult to look at, he had already seen from Tang Lin's previous performance that Tang Lin was unwilling to make Lu Zhaolin, the invited guest, too embarrassed, and his attitude was to a large extent the attitude of Li Ke, the king of Shu, and Li Ke must have passed this attitude to those referees in advance. Therefore, it is impossible for Lu Zhaolin to be squeezed out of the top three! And the only one who was excluded from the top three was himself.

He glanced at Tang Lin in the audience, and Tang Lin's face was obviously not good-looking. Lu Zhaolin was invited by him to be used as a target for Xiao Jiading, judging from his judgment, Xiao Jiading should be able to defeat Lu Zhaolin, and can attract the attention of Li Ke, the king of Shu, by defeating the first genius in the capital. And further attracted the attention of the emperor. He also knew that Li Ke, the king of Shu Dao, valued Lu Zhaolin very much, Lu Zhaolin represented Jingshi, and Jingshi was the old nest of the imperial family and the emperor's territory, if he lost too badly, Li Ke's face would not look good. Li Ke entered the referee's discussion just now, but he was afraid that it would affect the outcome of the game. The one who sacrificed must be Xiao Jiading!

Although he was a little disappointed with this result, Xiao Jiading was the first enemy and the second enemy before. has already defeated Lu Zhaolin. This alone has impressed Li Ke, and from this point of view, the goal has been basically achieved. So he wasn't particularly disappointed either. I saw Xiao Jiading looking at him. He smiled slightly, indicating that it was okay.

Xiao Jiading also nodded slightly, and his gaze naturally turned to the pretty face of the princess in the middle. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he saw a naughty and joyful look on the princess's pretty face. When Li Ke came back just now, he whispered in her ear, and now this result is obvious, it is impossible for him to suppress Lu Zhaolin, the number one talent in the capital, and win the championship, since the princess appreciates herself so much, why is she such an expression?

Don't......?

Pan Beijia waited for the admiration and discussion of everyone on the field to almost quiet down, and then raised his voice and said loudly: "Next, I want to announce that the champion winner of this poetry meeting!" – It was a very difficult selection and I believe that the judges had a lot of arguments because the talented guys were really good. However, the ranking will ultimately be decided. After the deliberation of the judges, the winner of the final decision, that is, the champion winner of this year's poetry meeting, is ——! ”

This time, Pan Beijia did not stay long, for he found that all the attention had been turned to him, and one by one they had stretched their necks and ears up.

So, Pan Beijia raised the pitch to the highest level, and shouted in a voice that almost broke the tone: "The champion is Lu Zhaolin!" ”

The field suddenly boiled, most of the voices were dissatisfied, obviously, they all felt that Xiao Jiading's "Will Enter the Wine" had overwhelmed the crowd, and there was no problem in winning the champion, at least it should be the eye of the list, but they didn't expect it to be in the top three! There was a lot of discussion for a while.

Zhong Wenbo on the stage couldn't help laughing out loud, looked at Xiao Jiading on the ground, and felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly said to Lu Zhaolin: "Brother Lu, congratulations!" ”

Lu Zhaolin didn't pay attention to him at all, he looked at Xiao Jiading, but saw him smiling, as if he didn't care about this result at all. Slightly strange, patted him on the shoulder, and said to Pan Beijia: "This result is not right!" My poems are obviously not as good as my eldest brother's, he is the real champion ......! ”

Pan Beijia smiled mysteriously, waved his hand and said, "Shao'an, don't be impatient!" I'm not done yet! ”

Everyone on the stage paid attention to the stage, although Pan Beijia's words were not big, they had already quieted everyone down, and they knew that things were still changing.

Sure enough, Pan Beijia raised his voice again, and his sharp voice resounded through everyone's eardrums: "This poetry meeting is a tie for champions!" Another champion, he is the long-awaited rookie in the poetry world - Xiao! Family! Ding! ”

Immediately, the audience was amazed, and almost everyone stood up and applauded.

Xiao Jiading had already guessed this final result from the princess's expression just now, so he was not too surprised, just smiled and thanked him.

Tie for first place!

I should have thought of this result, but I was a little anxious before, but I didn't expect it. When he looked at Tang Lin again, his face was already filled with irrepressible joy, this result made him too satisfied, in the previous three-person duel, Xiao Jiading defeated Lu Zhaolin with one enemy and two, and realized his expectations, and now in the game, the two are tied, and it also rounds Lu Zhaolin's face, so as not to embarrass him, this is the best result.

Huang Shiyun and Su Yunxia couldn't help but cheer and jump, Zhong Wenbo, who was originally smiling on the stage, was suddenly like a frosted eggplant, in fact, he should also know that with Xiao Jiading's song "Will Enter the Wine", which even Lu Zhaolin was willing to bow to, how could he not even enter the top three? If Lu Zhaolin's identity is special, the first should be Xiao Jiading, the second is Lu Zhaolin, and he should be the third.

Then, Pan Beijia announced that Li Ke, the king of Shu, himself and Geng Changshi, would present awards to the top three talents in the men's group in the field. The princess, Pan Beijia's wife, and Geng Changshi's wife presented awards to the top three in the women's group. In addition to a number of copper coins, the champion is a pure gold inkstone, which is also inlaid with a number of precious stones. The Bangyan is a folding fan inlaid with gems in pure gold. Tanhua is a pure gold and gem-encrusted brush. On the two inkstones, not only engraved with the words of the champion of the Yizhou Poetry Society in a certain year, but also engraved with the inscription of Li Ke, the king of Shu: "The first talented son of Yizhou", of course, the woman is "the first talented woman of Yizhou". The names of Xiao Jiading and Huang Shiyun, the two male and female champions, were engraved by craftsmen on the spot.

Since the prizes are prepared in two, I am afraid that there will be a tie, so it is not a problem.

Zhong Wenbo's folding fan was rotten by Xiao Jiading's buttocks, and now he has another folding fan, which can make up for it, but unfortunately it is pure gold, too heavy, and it can't be contracted, which is just an ornament.

After receiving the award, it is a horseback riding parade, which is only available to male and female champions.

When he wanted to ride a horse to the street, Lu Zhaolin refused to do anything, his reason was very simple, he was self-aware, this champion should be Xiao Jiading's, he just took care of the first, he was really embarrassed to participate in the horse riding street parade, and he was only invited, not from Yizhou, and it was not good to show up in Yizhou.

Because of his resolute attitude, Li Ke and the others had no choice but to accommodate him and accompany him to the peach forest under the stone tower to eat and wait.

At the moment, Xiao Jiading and Huang Shiyun were dressed up by the officials, dressed in red and color, riding a high-headed horse, under the escort of a mighty team of drummers and yamen soaps, they left Shaocheng Temple in a beautiful manner, and swaggered through several main streets in Yizhou. This is the biggest grand occasion in Yizhou, the city's men, women and children rarely have such an opportunity to come out lively, and suddenly the streets are crowded to the full, looking at the two people wearing red and hanging colors, talking one by one, most of them are saying "It is really a talented woman, a natural pair!" Huang Shiyun was so ashamed that her face was flushed.

She won the championship last year, and she rode a horse with Zhong Wenbo on the street, but Zhong Wenbo's eyes were above the top, as if he was the only one on the street, riding a horse far ahead, leaving her behind, almost everyone paid attention to him, but Huang Shiyun almost became a follower and no one paid attention, so naturally no one would say that about them. And now, Xiao Jiading is walking side by side with her, the same outfit naturally attracts the same attention, and it is a pair of young handsome men and beautiful women, which naturally attracts these people to think about the greeting team they have seen, so they casually say "talented and beautiful, born a pair" and the like.

Xiao Jiading was also a little embarrassed, and turned his head sideways to Huang Shiyun and said, "Don't care, they are unintentional." ”

Huang Shiyun glanced at him with a blushing face, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "It's better to have a heart......

After walking around, I walked back, and when I was about to reach Shaocheng Temple, Xiao Jiading suddenly heard a bustling crowd of onlookers on the side of the road, and someone shouted: "Xiao Zhiyi!" ”

Xiao Jiading turned his head to see that it was Dai Zhutou, and seeing that his face was full of anxiety, he beckoned to him and quickly reined in the horse.

Dai Zhutou squeezed over, and Xiao Jiading bent down. Dai Zhutou leaned into his ear and whispered: "Big brother, it has been investigated, the origin of the official horse and the type of paper have been investigated, is it ......"

Xiao Jiading listened to Dai Zhutou's words, his eyes lit up suddenly, he nodded slowly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Good job!" ”

———————————

At the end of the parade, the group returned to the Taoyuan Tower of Shaocheng Temple.

The feast has been set up, the bonfire has also been lit, and the fragrance of roasting the whole sheep has filled the entire peach forest, because this peach forest is in the backyard of the temple of Shaocheng Temple, and it has left the area of the temple, so it doesn't matter, the prince of Shu is here, and the host of the temple naturally has to be accompanied.
