Chapter 50: College Examination (2)
On the second day, the academy released a rumor, due to the urgency of time, the examination allowed the academy to only allow people above the Xuanban to participate, and the martial arts examination was conducted by the martial arts academy according to the number of applicants, and ten competitions were held every day, each with a stick of incense, and strive to determine the top three within two days.
Lin Chaoying undoubtedly went to the martial arts test to register, while Nanling Mo became a bystander, and was with the eldest princess Rongzhen all day long. While observing what the eldest princess Rong Zhen likes to eat, she is thinking about how to let her escape from the kiss. She knows the Empress Dowager Chen too well, and she will never fall on her own head about marrying her own daughter. If Yun Tianhong said that he wanted to marry the crown princess, the eldest princess Rong Zhen was really dangerous. But Yun Tianfeng is a mercenary person, what can be more of a help to himself than marrying his own sister-in-law?
In short, no matter what, since Yun Tianhong asked himself, he naturally couldn't let his only sister marry far away. After Nan Lingmo made up her mind, she quietly wrote a few pieces of paper for Mei Xue to take to Mei Xi. Mei Xi followed the instructions on the paper, and quickly found a few medicinal materials that Nanling Mo needed in the small medicine house, and handed them to Mei Xue to take back to the academy.
"Mu Yi, you go and talk to the prince, I said before that I would treat his injuries, but now the medicine is insufficient, this is the name of the poor medicinal materials, please find a way to find it within half a year." Mu Yi took the note and disappeared silently, as if it had never appeared.
I don't know why, Nan Lingmo always has a bad premonition about the Beirong mission coming to Beijing, Xu was influenced by his father and brother in his previous life, and the northern battlefield has always been deeply feared by his father and brother, and it was Yun Tianhong's story, which made her feel that it was not easy for the Beirong mission to come to Beijing, and she originally thought that the people of Huaqi Tower would slowly collect the rotten bone spirit flower and Hanze clover, and the matter had to be handed over to Yun Tianhong's people.
Finally, it was the day of the academy's civil and military competition. The topic of the essay examination is two policy topics, one is Nanling Moti's What is a big husband and the way of a gentleman; The other is about how to control the water. I have to say that these two topics are not very easy to write, one is what is a big husband, the way of a gentleman, it is difficult to say clearly; As for the strategy of water control, I am afraid that what the current students know is nothing more than how to dig and dig ditches in books, which may not be feasible in practice.
The duration of the examination is a total of three hours, and there are a total of 32 people who participated in the examination this time, using eight classrooms, 4 people in each classroom, separated by screens, similar to the layout of the Gongyuan examination, but the place is much larger than that of the Gongyuan.
If it is said that except for the sound of the pen on the side of the literary test, everything else is silent, then the martial arts test is much more lively. There is already a martial arts academy in the academy, but the number of people is not large, from Mr. Jiaoxi to the students, there are barely 100 people, excluding Mr. Jiaoxi, miscellaneous servants and temporary Linsan people who signed up for the whole academy, etc., there are only 90 people who have signed up. However, this martial arts test is disguised as a martial arts exam, if you are lucky enough to meet the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother, if you win the battle with the Beirong envoy, maybe you will be given the official position of captain of the Gyeonggi battalion from the sixth rank on the spot.
Nanling Mo couldn't watch the literary test, so she and the eldest princess Rongzhen went to the martial arts field to watch the martial arts test. The martial arts arena is very lively. Eight rings start to compete at the same time, and two people are randomly selected to fight, and the point is up, and whoever falls into the ring first within the time of the two pillars of incense will lose. Win the afternoon competition until the top five are finally decided, and then the school will be tested in the art of war, and the top three will be recommended to enter the palace.
There were a lot of people in the martial arts arena, and there were many students who did not participate in the competition to watch the battle. Nan Lingmo followed the eldest princess Rong Zhen around the crowd, and finally squeezed into a front seat. The two were looking back and forth in the eight rings, and Lin Chaoying was not found in the figure of the battle.
"Could it be that Sister Lin has finished the competition?" The eldest princess Rong Zhen tilted her head and asked, "Seventh sister-in-law, are we late?" ”
"Probably not, the two sides started at about the same time, you see that this incense is not more than half a pillar," Nan Lingmo pointed to the incense case next to the ring closest to him and said, "I guess it's not her turn to play yet, let's take a look at others first." ”
The eldest princess Rong Zhen followed Nanling Mo to compete there, after all, she was young, and when she saw that there was a winner in the competition, she applauded with everyone.
Soon, a newspaper official announced loudly: "In the twentieth game of the first round of the martial arts test, Lin Chaoying vs. Jiang Hai. I saw Lin Chaoying walking into the ring in the eyes of everyone, and Jiang Hai, who was fighting against him, was a head and a half taller than him and half wider than her.
Someone around me secretly discussed: "What's the point of seeing this, isn't the odd just in front of you?" ”
"That's General Lin's daughter-in-law, the general's personal inheritance, martial arts shouldn't be bad!"
"It's a girl's family again, and it's just a fist and embroidered legs."
"Look, look, it's on."
Everyone's eyes looked at the ring. Less than 10% of the women in the ring this time are men. Therefore, as long as a woman comes on stage, she can always unconsciously attract everyone's attention.
Lin Chaoying, who was wearing only a dark purple suit, used a spear, while Jiang Hai used a pair of golden pumpkin hammers. It's also interesting to say, everyone in Beijing knows that Jing Sa, the fourth lady of the Anguo family, is good at using swords, and the lord of Ren'an of Zhennan's Wang family is good at using whips, but I didn't expect this Lin Chaoying to be good at using guns.
One of the two judges sitting at the top is Lin Chaoying's biological father, Lin Yan, the general of Pingxi. From the moment he knew that his daughter was going to sign up for the competition, he was angry. He let his daughter enter the academy to learn poetry and etiquette, but he didn't expect his baby daughter to come to participate in the martial arts test. And he didn't know that his daughter had signed up for the martial arts test half an hour before the competition. At this time, his daughter had already played, and he was used to seeing life and death for a long time, and he was also nervous.
I saw that the two of them were very fast, and dozens of moves passed in just half a pillar of incense. Lin Chaoying made a quick move in his hand, while calmly squinting at Jiang Hai, and soon discovered his flaws. Although this Jianghai is tall and big, it is a hard skill that is practiced ruthlessly, although it is full of power, but it is not dexterous.
Lin Chaoying quickly found a flaw in the battle, first a move of thunder disrupted the rhythm of Jiang Hai's pumpkin hammer, and another move of the golden snake dance wildly to block the real with the virtual, and dragged the virtual with the real, and the virtual and the real made Jiang Hai chaotic, and soon retreated to the side of the ring, and then a move Changhong Guanri knocked Jiang Hai out of the ring.
"Good!" The cheers of everyone shook the earth, and even Lin Yan couldn't hold back the joy on his face, proud of his daughter. But it's not good to show it, so he just snorted lightly: "Hmph, it took a hundred moves to defeat people, have you learned the marksmanship taught in the past?!" "But I laughed happily in my heart: 'It is worthy of my Lin Yan's daughter!'
"Seventh sister-in-law, you see that Sister Lin is so powerful!" The eldest princess of Rongzhen clapped her hands excitedly and cheered.
"Yes, such wonderful marksmanship is simply the true biography of General Lin!" Nan Lingmo sighed.
"Seventh sister-in-law, how many competitions will there be in the back of Sister Lin?" Eldest Princess Rong Zhen asked with a smile.
"There should be a next round soon." Nan Lingmo said softly.
Sure enough, soon the second round of the competition will begin. Lin Chaoying is worthy of being the true biography of General Depingxi, and he also won in the second round. Everyone didn't dare to underestimate this sixteen-year-old girl at this time, and they began to speculate whether she could enter the top five, and some people even privately prepared to use the lunch time to start a gambling game.
"Seventh sister-in-law, I don't know how the literary test is, it should be over soon!" The eldest princess Rong Zhen looked at the sun and said coquettishly, "Seventh sister-in-law, I'm hungry, it's not over yet, and soon it's time for Sister Lin's competition." ”
"It should be soon, and the literary exam will be over in about an hour." Nan Lingmo said softly, but she was thinking in her heart that she didn't know who won the top three.
At the same time as the literary test ended, the martial arts test also ended. The top three in the literary examination were not expected by Ye Shanchang, the first was Zhao Yuanjia, the eldest son of Zhao Deputy Shanchang, the second was Zhou Tao, a new student who was admitted this year, and the third was Qi Yufeng, the son of Qi Mountain, from Liupin Honglu Temple; Among the two sisters Nan Lingmei and Nan Lingxuan who participated in the literary examination, Nan Lingxuan ranked seventh in the literary examination, and Nan Lingmei has been ranked outside the twenties.
The last three in the martial arts test are Li Qingfeng, Luo Tian and Wang Chao. Originally, Lin Chaoying entered the top five in the martial arts test, but unfortunately he was too immature in the art of war strategy after all, and finally fell to the tenth place, but General Lin was still secretly happy, after all, among these participants, his own daughter was young, and he was already very satisfied with such a result.
The Imperial Study
Xun Qi submitted the names and papers of the top three students in the literary examination to Yun Tianfeng, and General Pingxi also drafted the top three rankings in the military examination and submitted them to His Majesty. However, after Xun Shoufu read the papers of the literary examination, he also presented Nan Lingxuan's papers with the top three of the literary examination.
"Xun Shoufu, what is this volume?" Yun Tianfeng saw Nan Lingxuan's scroll and asked.
"Your Majesty, the topic this time is the way of a gentleman and how to control the water. The way of a gentleman, this article is mediocre, but the strategy for controlling the water is indeed extraordinary. The minister believes that one or two of the methods can be used as a reference in water control. ”
"Oh?" Yun Tianfeng was surprised and looked at it seriously. I saw that the scroll read: "In addition to building canals and dams to prevent natural disasters, the strategy of water control is also to properly deal with the displaced people caused by the floods." Post-disaster resettlement is the first, and pre-disaster migration prevention is the second. The specific rules are as follows......"
The more Yun Tianfeng looked at it, the more surprised he became, and hurriedly asked, "What is this?" Written by the young lady of the Wang family in Zhennan? ”
Xun Qi replied: "Your Majesty, there are a total of five people in the Zhennan Wang family studying in Yunlu Academy, and this article is written by Nan Lingxuan, the third lady of the Nan family, and she is the daughter of Nan Nuan, the right attendant of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”
"It turned out to be her, this year's Shangyuan Fairy is really smart!" Yun Tianfeng said approvingly, and said happily in his heart: "Is this the reason why the daughter of the phoenix is able to dominate the six palaces, and although she can't interfere in the government affairs, she can assist me......
"Three treasures, five horses of Shu brocade for the wife of Nanmarsh, a pair of jade heads, and a set of Shixin Palace flowers, commend her for teaching her daughter." Yun Tianfeng raised his voice.
"Xun Aiqing, Lin Aiqing, the list you submitted is approved, Xun Qing, you will draft the decree later, and after I approve it, it will be sent to Yunlu Academy early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, the ministers are leaving."
