In fact, this outing of the whole family of Zhao Mansion is to pave the way for the upcoming grand event.

And the protagonist of this grand event is Zhao Ya, who doesn't know much yet.

Since two years ago, Zhao Ya, who was less than four years old, played a song for everyone at a banquet at his home, and it was immediately passed on as a good story by the entire Qiantang City.

In the past two years, Zhao Ya's prodigy's fame has also spread more and more, many families who think they are the right family, and even began to come to the door to propose, although Zhao Ya is not yet six years old, but the Tang Dynasty woman can marry at thirteen, and there are no years of hard work.

And the old man Zhao is already over the age of six, maybe there will be an accident that day and he will drive the crane west.

Therefore, whether it is the assets of the Zhao family, or the wealthy families who are interested in Zhao Ya, a talented prodigy, they have all come to the door to propose marriage.

Although Zhao Ya knew a little about these things, she didn't pay attention to them at all, after all, when she was twelve years old and almost recovered all her soul power, even if she was the ruler of the entire Tang Dynasty, it was not worth mentioning in her eyes.

But in the eyes of Zhao Jude and his wife, this matter must be planned well, although the daughter is still young, but sooner or later it must be arranged, after all, they are old, and they may not be able to prepare in the future.

Therefore, Zhao Jude plans to hold a talent competition in Splendid Villa in three months to find some objects for his daughter in advance.

said that he was looking for a target, but Zhao Jude's real consideration was to make a name for his daughter, and the surrounding gentry and tyrants were not worthy of his daughter at all in his eyes.

After all, looking for a partner for his daughter so early, Zhao Jude was afraid that his daughter would have ideas, so he hadn't talked to Zhao Ya yet.

This outing of Splendid Villa also allowed Zhao Ya to have more contact with the outside world, and to give her daughter a breath in advance to see what she thinks.

In the afternoon, Zhao Ya's convoy finally arrived at Splendid Villa.

As soon as Zhao Ya got out of the car, Zhao Jude, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, ran over and grabbed his daughter's hand, and said with a smile: "Ya'er, let's go, my father has prepared a lot of interesting things for you, you have to have a good time this time." ”

"Thank you, Father." Zhao Ya smiled faintly, since she was four years old, Zhao Ya refused to accept anyone to hold her, and her parents were no exception.

Zhao Jude has long been accustomed to his daughter's independent personality, and in many things, he also treats his daughter as an adult.

"Ya'er, this time you came, for the sake of my father, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about." Zhao Jude said as he walked.

"Father, please tell me." Zhao Ya nodded, she had also heard about the things that Zhao Jude had arranged in Splendid Villa.

"In three months, I'm going to hold a talent contest here, and I want you to be one of the judges." Zhao Jude said.

"Shall I be judged?" Zhao Ya was slightly stunned, looking at Zhao Jude with a smile on his face, which contained several layers of meaning.

"Yes, Ya'er, although you are just six years old, you can't compare to you as a father in many insights, so you are one of the selections in this talent competition."

"Then my father, tell me more about this talent contest." Zhao Ya nodded, this outing was originally out to relax, but now it seems that Zhao Jude has already had an idea.

"The talent contest has been going on for a long time, but it is irregular, the last session was held six years ago by the Zhang family in Qiantang City......" Zhao Jude paused here, glanced at his daughter, and said thoughtfully: "At that time, the young daughter of the Zhang family was fourteen years old, and this talent competition was also a means to choose a son-in-law for his daughter." ”

"What is the competition for this talent?" Zhao Ya obviously heard her father's words, but she didn't care, but was quite curious about what kind of competition they had.

"The conventional competition is the six arts of a gentleman, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. However, the details of the contest are subject to change depending on the organizers. After Zhao Jude finished speaking, he pointed to an open field of tens of thousands of square meters outside the Splendid Villa, and said: "Ya'er, you can arrange a competition field there to screen the talents who come to compete." ”

"It's good that my father will arrange it." Zhao Ya said lightly.

"Ya'er, in fact, as a father, I hope you can perform better than these talents." Zhao Jude smiled slightly, and continued to say his thoughts, "The six arts of the gentleman, aside from the shooting of the emperor, there are four books of etiquette and music, Ya'er, don't hide your secrets when the time comes, let those talents know our Ya'er's level." ”

"Father, in that case, why don't you add two more items, painting and Go." Zhao Ya said.

"Of course, as Ya'er said." Zhao Jude said with a smile: "Ya'er, the scenery here is beautiful, and my father has prepared a few novelty toys for you, you can stay here for a few more days." ”

Subsequently, Zhao Ya visited the novelty toys that Zhao Jude said, in addition to the miniature crossbow specially customized for her, which made Zhao Ya slightly interested, other swings, merry-go-rounds, seesaws, these novel entertainment facilities of the Tang Dynasty, in Zhao Ya's eyes, were childish and pitiful.

Of course, this was her father's kindness, and Zhao Ya tried it too, but it was Zhao Ya's idea of wanting to ride a horse alone, which made the Zhao family and others feel shocked.

In the end, with the help of Ge Jun, Zhao Ya finally rode around on horseback, and the already docile little pony steed, under Zhao Ya's mental control, almost became one.

After three days of playing, Zhao Ya returned to Qiantang City, and three months later, the talent competition officially began to prepare and enter the publicity.

Ge Jun, as the first guest secretary of the Zhao Mansion, naturally made suggestions.

Subsequently, combined with Zhao Ya's opinions, the original six arts of the gentleman were refined into nine competitions in three categories of literature and martial arts, literature for etiquette, calligraphy, mathematics, martial arts for swords, archery, royal, art for music, painting, and chess.

These three categories and nine events will be carried out in three stages: qualifiers, play-in rounds, and finals.

Two and a half months have passed in a flash, and the talent competition is imminent, but there are still very few talents who have signed up.

Zhao Jude, who was originally enthusiastic, has been quite helpless these days, and various publicity has been in place, but only 17 people have signed up for the competition, and the prize money for the first 30 times is not low, but it still can't attract many people to participate.

"Mr. Ge, it's only been more than ten days since the talent competition, and the number of applicants is less than twenty, although it is because of the threshold limit of the 100 entry fee, but this number is too small." Zhao Jude came to Ge Jun to discuss.

"Master, I also listened to Miss's analysis of this matter, one is that the number of bonuses is too small, and the other is that we have too many projects, Miss has a way, but the master has to break the bank." Ge Jun said.

"Ya'er's solution?" Zhao Jude was stunned, he was busy these days, and he didn't have time to see Zhao Ya, and some news was also delivered by Ge Jun.

"Yes, Miss means that there are nine items in these three categories, and the top three are taken for each item, and the first prize is thirty times, the second one is rewarded with twenty times, and the third one is rewarded with ten times." Ge Jun said.

"One item is sixty times, and nine items are five hundred and forty times?" Zhao Jude was born in a businessman, and immediately frowned, although the money was still available to him, it was enough for him to be painful.

It has always been equivalent to a thousand Wen, the price of Kaiyuan for seven years, one Wen can buy about 3 catties of rice, and the income of an ordinary family is two or three times a year, for a wealthy Qiantang family like the Zhao family, the annual income is only more than 10,000 yuan, and more than 500 yuan is sent out as a bonus, which is definitely a large expense.

"Not only that, but the final selection of the leader of the nine comprehensives will reward 100 times, the second place will be rewarded with 50 times, and the third place will be rewarded with 30 times." Ge Jun said solemnly.

"Isn't it, there will be a reward in the end, another hundred and eighty times?" Zhao Jude opened his mouth wide, although he was very rich, he still couldn't stand such a loser method. 20119
