When the moon is in the sky, the river surface is sparkling, and the river bank is brightly lit and full of people.

"Young Master, it's here!"

The bow of the ship docked, Si Yan set up a board, and Cheng Qing walked ashore steadily.

In front of it is the Shangshu Courtyard, where the literati gather tonight.

If there is a talent and fame, there is no threshold for this courtyard, and you can enter at will.

Xiucai is not, so he needs to pay ten taels of silver entrance fee, and it costs money to organize the cultural meeting, but the cost of the cultural meeting has been donated by the gentry association of this county, and the entrance fee of ten taels of silver seems to be unreasonable?

For so many years, it has been this rule, no one has scolded the Mid-Autumn Festival in Nanyi County for its copper smell, all because the money raised by the entrance fee will be donated to the Salesian Church and other places after the meeting, so Cheng Qing should evaluate that this cultural meeting is quite similar to the charity party in modern society.

What if a poor family and a scholar who has not yet been admitted to the examination wants to participate?

In addition to paying money, there is another way, relying on your own literary talent to enter the market!

The high walls on both sides of the courtyard are hung with all kinds of lanterns, the glowing light cluster is very beautiful, and there is a question hanging under each lantern, there is a poem written in response to the situation, there is a writing of the upper couplet to ask for the lower couplet, there are anagrams, and there are requests for endorsement...... If you can solve three questions on the spot, the Wenhui will recognize the admission qualifications, and you can enter without paying money.

Not only that, but you will also receive a beautiful lantern on the spot.

I don't know who designed the routine, which attracted readers to flock to it.

Even those who have a reputation for showing off their talents should stay at the door for a while, solve a few questions, and win a lantern with a unique mark to give away - this lantern can only be won by doing questions, and it can't be bought with money, and it is naturally extra face-saving.

This is the first place where the cultural meeting will be famous tonight!

Cui Fatzi reminded Cheng Qing to ghostwrite the gun, half of the reason was to cope with this entrance competition.

Being able to rely on one's own "literary talent" to enter the door is much more beautiful than spending ten taels of silver to get in, needless to say, those who have talent and fame have to spend money to get in, doesn't it admit that they are really inferior?

The two walls on both sides of the gate are lanterns, exquisite workmanship and unique style, if you can win a few to go home to the three sisters, you must be able to make them smile!

The moonlight is so good tonight, I don't know if the Liu family will bring her sisters to the Wenhui to play...... Cheng Qing wanted to go home to pick up people by herself, but she was afraid that Mrs. Zhu and Yu San would target her at the meeting, whether she was the first target to attract the enemy's firepower, or not to involve the three sisters.

It shouldn't come, according to the rules of the Great Wei Dynasty, she and her three sisters must be filial piety for at least one year.

During this year, it is forbidden to drink alcohol and have fun, it is not allowed to talk about weddings, officials are not allowed to worry, and students are not allowed to participate in scientific examinations.

In the dynasties before the Great Wei, this kind of heavy filial piety was 27 months, and now there are still a small number of people who keep the ancient rites, and most people have accepted the filial piety period from 27 months to one year.

During the period of filial piety, even relatives have restrictions, some families will be taboo, anyway, it is always not wrong to minimize going out to socialize, with Liu's character, it is very unlikely that he will take Cheng Qing's three sisters out to enjoy the moon tonight.

They couldn't come, so Cheng Qing wanted to send a few lanterns to her sisters.

Can she answer these questions?

In addition to poetry, you should be able to try anything else.

Cheng Qing was looking at the lantern, and Yu San and a few people went ashore.

Cheng Jue was admitted to Xiucai last year, and he didn't have to answer questions or pay the entrance fee, he could enter at will.

If you don't talk about righteousness, you have to advance and retreat with Yu San and a few others.

Yu San saw Cheng Qing circling around the lantern and laughed loudly:

"Senior Brother Cheng Qing is going to choose to solve the problem? In the monthly examination of more than 200 people, the junior and younger students ranked more than 90, and there is a great hope of success in solving the problem! ”

Cui Fatzi followed him ashore, and almost slipped on the soles of his feet when he heard the words.

Cheng Qing will be ridiculed for taking 97 places in the exam, what should he do if he takes the 102 test?

Scolding people without revealing shortcomings, this Yu San is really hateful and annoying, if the other party is not the son of the prefect, Cui Fat Man will definitely beat people with his sleeves.

Cheng Qing glanced at Yu San: "It's strange, the gate of the other courtyard is so wide, do I pay money to go in or answer the question, what does it have to do with you?" Senior Brother Yu, you still have to think about yourself, I remember that Senior Brother has not yet been admitted to Xiucai! ”

Yu San's disgusting appearance Cheng Qing was unhappy, and after knowing that Yu Governor was a person who cherished his official reputation, Cheng Qing never relented when he scolded Yu San.

What can Yu San do with her?

Even if he raised his hand, Cheng Qing would also let go of his voice and shout that the prefect was beaten...... She is very capable of giving up her face, and she can't let go of face when she fights with people like Yu San, so she really wants to be bullied to death.

Yu San raised his eyebrows, "Although I didn't get into the exam, I can still answer the three questions, I'm afraid that my junior brother will lose the face of the academy, so I care about you." Don't be reckless, it's only ten taels of silver, and the junior brother can't afford it, so I, the senior brother, can help you out. ”

Cheng Qingqi said:

"I vaguely remember that Senior Brother Yu was cut off from his monthly money by his family, and you have to live frugally, and you still have money to pay me entrance fees?"

Poof—

Cui Fat Man hid behind and couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, and quickly covered his mouth.

Yu San has already seen him, who called Cui Fatty's figure is particularly eye-catching, and he can't hide it if he wants to, this fat man, who is in the same Ding Jiu class as Cheng Qing, and lives next door to Cheng Qing, must be with Cheng Qing.

was glared at by Yu San's vicious eyes, and Cui Fatzi complained bitterly in his heart.

Fortunately, Cheng Qing was the target of Yu San, Yu San looked back at Cheng Qing and smiled sadly: "You still dare to say that you didn't eavesdrop!" ”

"You are talking too loudly, and I can't help but listen, Senior Brother Yu, there are so many people here, do you really want to discuss the events of the day with me? I heard that Governor Yu was also invited to come tonight, so it would be better to ......"

The person who did something wrong and was cut off by his family was Yu San.

The person who was punished by Meng Huai for copying the "Analects" ten times was still Yu San.

If Yu San is not afraid of embarrassment, Cheng Qing is willing to make a name for Yu San in public, even in front of Yu Governor's Mansion, Cheng Qing is not stage frightened.

Cheng Qi saw that the two were about to quarrel on the spot, so he hurriedly stopped: "Ah Xian, let's go in quickly." ”

There are too many people at the door, not only the people who are waiting to enter, but also the people who come to see the excitement, and even the vendors who sell things with their burdens.

Yu San snorted, and the group of them came prepared, and each picked three lanterns and was about to solve the problem.

The steward at the door explained with a smile:

"Yu Gongzi, this year's Wenhui has changed the rules, you can enter the venue by answering three questions, you can win a lantern, you can win 10 two prizes of silver if you answer ten questions, you can win 50 taels of silver if you answer twenty questions, if you can answer thirty questions, it will be terrible!"

Cheng Qing saw almost all the questions on the lantern, and was thinking about giving a lantern for three questions, she had three sisters, and if she wanted to have a lantern for each person, she had to answer at least nine questions correctly.

Coupled with Liu's, she wanted to challenge herself to see if she could do the twelve questions correctly.

At this time, as soon as he heard that he would have silver for answering ten questions correctly, Cheng Qing couldn't help but stand forward.

And such a good thing, huh?

- The old saying really doesn't lie, whether there is Yan Ruyu in the book She is not sure, there is really a golden house in the book.
