Chapter 118: Preliminary Round
Jiang Muyang didn't care about Zhao Long's complaints behind him, and urged: "Hurry up, the poetry conference is about to start." ”
People walked in the direction of the southwest side, where there was a four-story literary building, which was a wrap-around building, with a large open space in the middle and a half-meter-high platform.
Everyone was in the attic to find their place, and the view was good, and they could see the situation above the platform all around. Even if it's four stories high, it looks clear on the top floor.
Jiang Yuntian walked in with the team of the Zhenguo Mansion, the first floor was very lively, there were some rich merchants, some street vendors, some poor scholars, some entourage maids, and slowly surrounded the ring.
Today's capital is very lively, and it is rare for Evian, who has been by Jiang Yuntian's side, to see such a lively scene, looking at the west and the east for a while, and seeing = she is dazzled.
In the past, Jiang Yuntian rarely participated in such activities, so as Jiang Yuntian's maid, it was naturally rare to see such a scene.
Jiang Yuntian saw Evian's appearance and felt that she was very cute, Jiang Yuntian had seen various scenes before, but at this time, her heart was not shocked.
Not to mention that a group of people from the Jiang family went up to the second floor, there were fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor, and from the clothes worn by those people on the second floor, it could be seen that they were not ordinary people, after all, the conditions on the second floor were not something that ordinary people could afford.
Although Jiang Yuntian has always been by himself since he was born, he still likes lively scenes very much, and it is rare to see so many people laughing and talking.
But this kind of scene was very annoying to Jiang Muxue, so she asked Jiang Muyang, who was walking beside her: "Brother, in previous years, was the poetry conference not located in the Royal Palace?" How about this year? ”
Jiang Muxue still has that gentle and considerate tone, but in her heart, she despises the poor sour taste in this crowd.
Jiang Muyang was not stingy and told her: "In previous years, the poetry conference also allowed the people to participate, but the venue was different. ”
Jiang Muyang was very clear about the emperor's thoughts, and he didn't want to explain it to Jiang Muxue, but after looking at Jiang Cangnan, who was still walking in front, he still said to her with some reluctance.
Although Jiang Muxue was very reluctant in her heart, she still said very understandingly: "The king is kind. ”
The more he went up, Jiang Yuntian gradually noticed the difference, so he asked Yifeng in a low voice: "What kind of place is this, so magnificent, it's not like ordinary people have the financial resources to build it." ”
"Miss has good eyesight, in fact, this belongs to the royal family, but because in the market, there is no strict ban on the entry and exit of the people, even in the past, it was not consumed by ordinary people."
Yifeng had already inquired about these things before the poetry conference, and some time ago, Jiang Yuntian studied poetry at home every day, but Yifeng was not idle, and he came out every day basically to inquire about the news of the poetry conference.
However, no matter how much news there is outside, there is not as much news as Miss's Tianyi Pavilion and Jiao Niang Jade Building, just like the inn where they are currently standing, where will ordinary people know what this place is.
Jiang Yun nodded after hearing Yifeng's words, and then looked carefully, only to find that many of them were official eunuchs who participated in the poetry conference on the second floor.
These young ladies are all gorgeously dressed, but when they saw Jiang Muxue, their eyes were full of admiration.
Jiang Yun sneered in his heart, could this be the legendary star effect?
Jiang Muxue is still like a white lotus meticulously returning the gift, and from time to time she can hear someone talking about Jiang Yuntian, but Jiang Yuntian keeps his head down, as if he is afraid of so many people watching.
Although everyone came to participate in the poetry conference, because of their identity, background, family, etc., the seats were divided into four classes.
The highest level is the fourth layer where Jiang Yuntian is now, in addition to them, this layer is the referee and the people of the royal family, although Jiang Yuntian is a quasi-crown princess, but this move is enough to see the importance that the king attaches to the Zhenguo Mansion.
Someone soon announced the opening of the poetry conference, but because of the large number of people, the venue did not quiet down for a while.
In order to make the game more convenient and fast, one of the princes came up with a method.
That is, everyone draws lots for the competition, and the person who draws the other party's name wins, and can advance to the next competition, and after elimination, he will lose the qualification to participate in the competition.
Hearing that this year's poetry conference was held by lottery, some people were happy and some were worried, Jiang Muxue was of course in the worried team, according to her status as the second lady of the town and country government in previous years, as long as she competed with the best, she could decide the winner.
Although this is fair to most people now, it may be better for Jiang Muxue than in previous years. For Jiang Yuntian, it is natural to be safe when it comes.
Soon, the presiding officer at the poetry conference brought the sign with the name written in front of the Jiang family, and according to common sense, Jiang Yuntian, as the eldest lady, should draw lots first.
But the organizer looked at Jiang Yuntian with his head down, as if he was very nervous, so he put the lottery box in front of Jiang Muxue, and Jiang Muxue drew the lot very cleanly, as if he was holding the victory.
When Jiang Yuntian slowed down, his hand was still a little shaky, so he smoked one casually. Her actions were watched by everyone, and people could be heard talking from a long distance on the fourth floor.
"You said that the eldest lady of the Jiang family is nervous like this, is it because she has no talent!"
"It's a recognized thing that the eldest lady has no talent, it is estimated that she has invested herself in silver, and she has invested in blood, and now she is distressed to see that she is going to lose?"
"Don't say it, if it weren't for the eldest lady's temperament, I would have thought she was sick."
All of this was listened to by Jiang Yuntian's personal maid, looking at Jiang Yuntian's current appearance, she couldn't understand how she had become like this now, so she wanted to ask Jiang Yuntian if there was anything uncomfortable.
Before Yifeng could speak, he received a glance from Jiang Yun.
These words naturally ran into the ears of the other contestants who came to participate in the poetry conference, and they originally didn't attach much importance to Jiang Yuntian, a person who had no talent to learn, but he was also a person from the Zhenguo Mansion.
But now that he saw Jiang Yuntian being so tense and so small, he put down his vigilance intentionally or unintentionally.
At the same time, the maid sitting next to a young lady sitting on the north side of the second floor asked.
"Miss, show me which lady your opponent is?"
This is the second daughter of a wealthy businessman in the capital, wearing a turquoise dress, her face is a little pale because of nervousness. Be in the crowd and get noticed.
She was originally very nervous, holding the bamboo stick with Jiang Yuntian's name in her hand, and her tone was a little more confident.
"The eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, Jiang Yunting." When she saw this name, the daughter of this rich businessman was still a little happy, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Originally, this wealthy businesswoman had communicated privately with the people who came to the poetry conference from time to time in the crowd, but most of the time she was unsatisfactory, which made her a little unconfident.
But when everyone saw Jiang Yuntian's nervous look, they knew that she would be the first to be eliminated.
She didn't expect her luck to be so good today, and she actually drew Jiang Yuntian directly as soon as she made a move, although the names of the eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion and the future princess were quite loud, but everyone said that Jiang Yuntian had no talent...... Not to mention how happy the rich businesswoman's heart was, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, if you win Jiang Yuntian, although it can't prove that you are outstanding, you can be regarded as advanced." The maid cheered up her own lady, and the head was the way.
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the organizer invite Jiang Yun to the arena.
Soon the game began, dozens of preliminary matches started together, and the Jiang family attracted the most attention.
Jiang Muxue is talented, and against the young lady of the second-grade minister's family in Xicheng, although her strength is not weak, there is no suspense about victory.
The people paid more attention to the eldest lady of the Jiang family who had just entered the poetry conference, so their eyes were focused on Jiang Yuntian for a while.
Jiang Yun tilted Che Chenono to look very unconfident, compared to Miss Tsing Yi, although she was not very beautiful, she seemed to be confident.
Looking at such a situation, the audience couldn't help but discuss, "Which girl is fighting against Miss Jiang?" It's a bit raw! ”
A handsome young man said proudly, "You don't know this? It was the second lady of the Jia family in the shop in the west of the city, Bingqing and jade, with elegant manners, although she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, she was definitely not inferior to the girl of the official eunuch family. ”
It can be seen at a glance that this handsome guy is the follower of Miss Tsing Yi, and everyone does not debunk it, but jokingly says: "Looking at Miss Jiang's cowardly appearance and comparing her talents, who is not a talented girl?" ”
Although in the eyes of the audience, Jiang Yuntian will undoubtedly lose, such a state is nothing more than a lot of momentum for Miss Tsing Yi, which makes Jiang Yuntian even more incompetent.
The competition begins immediately, and the method is very simple, two people participating in the competition write a pair of couplets each, and judge who advances according to the difficulty of the couplet.
Jiang Yuntian held the pen very seriously, and his hand kept shaking slightly when he put down the pen. Many people saw it and laughed in their hearts, and even some outspoken people shouted: "It's not too embarrassing for Miss Jiang to step down and admit defeat now."
Although Jiang Yuntian also practiced stable ink some time ago, it was still a little difficult to write.
Looking at the words he wrote, he couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, the handwriting did not affect the grades, and Jiang Yuntian quickly wrote it.
Although Miss Tsing Yi was relieved because of Jiang Yuntian's shallowness, she knew that she was definitely not in the middle and upper reaches of the crowd participating in the poetry conference, and she thought that it would be good to win Jiang Yuntian once.
After thinking for a long time, she put down the pen for a long time, and after a while, Miss Tsing Yi handed in her tissue paper, and Jiang Yuntian also stepped forward and presented it with both hands. Jiang Yun's frowning appearance after pouring the paper was in stark contrast to Miss Tsing Yi's relaxed and natural face.
Everyone was waiting to see Jiang Yuntian's jokes, watching Jiang Yuntian look at his faces, and he was also very cooperative and nervous.
After about a quarter of an hour, someone came to announce the advanced list.
Miss Liu Jia, Miss Xu, Miss Xu, Miss Er. The eldest lady of the Sun family in the west of the city...... The eldest lady of the Jiang family in the Zhenguo Mansion, the second miss.
Evian beside Jiang Yuntian couldn't help jumping up happily when he heard the name of the young lady, and Jiang Yuntian also smiled slightly.
There was an uproar for a while, "Is there a mistake, the eldest lady of the Jiang family has advanced?" ”
"Who doesn't know that the eldest lady of the Jiang family has not read poetry for more than ten years, and won the Miss Tsing Yi of the Jia family, it is estimated that the woman is not good at academics, let Jiang Yun take advantage of it!"
The second lady of the Jia family is also a virtuous person, and her face was a little unsightly when she heard this, and she thought in her heart: "I have been studying poetry and books for decades, and there is no reason to lose to Jiang Yuntian, and the question is definitely not simple, does Jiang Yuntian have real knowledge?"
Miss Tsing Yi and Jiang Yun looked at each other, Jiang Yun nodded at her, and Miss Jia also nodded in return. At this moment, it is estimated that only Miss Tsing Yi in the audience saw Jiang Yuntian's strength and recognized her victory.
Everyone present regarded Jiang Yuntian's pride as the joy of picking up a big bargain, and Jiang Yuntian did not disappoint their thoughts, and deliberately made a smug appearance.
Originally, the person who bet on Jiang Yuntian and couldn't advance lost the money, not to mention how unhappy he was. Most people were disdainful in their hearts, "I don't know that Jiang Yuntian has no talent and no learning, and I don't know what shit luck he has taken." ”
In the innermost bread room on the fourth floor, a teenager put down the teacup in his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
