On the afternoon of the third day of October, there is an archery class. Before Yi Yu could touch the bow after arriving at the shooting range, he was pulled aside by Cheng Xiaofeng, who was also in an archery class, to chat.

The two sat at the end of a secluded flower gallery not far from the shooting range, sheltering from the wind and basking in the sun.

"Xiaoyu, I heard that someone came to trouble you in the morning?"

Yi Yu looked at Cheng Xiaofeng's face with a little excitement in puzzlement, and replied:

"Well, there was a student from the Academy of Books who came to look for trouble, and when I was eating at Ganweiju at noon, I met two, and before I came to class in the afternoon, I met one, which was really annoying."

Although these three or four people, who were at the same level as Yu Dancheng, were dismissed by her in a few words, being watched by the people around her still made her a little upset.

Cheng Xiaofeng laughed, "It's okay, it's okay, I've seen this kind of thing, don't worry, now it's just some small fish and shrimp who come to look for trouble, and anyone who has some ability is full of energy." Waiting for this month's 'Five Houses Art Competition' to take fame from you. ”

"Five Courtyard Art Competition?" It's not the first time I've heard this word, especially lately, and I've heard it occasionally in conversations with others.

Cheng Xiaofeng saw her suspicious expression and said in surprise: "Didn't Ah Zhi tell you?" ”

"Nope." Yu Yu pouted, there were many things that her eldest brother hadn't told her, and she didn't like to ask him about the messy things.

"It's impossible, Ah Zhi has participated in three art competitions, Dr. Jin has always been good friends with Dr. Cha, Dr. Cha praised you like that, Dr. Jin should leave a place for you......"

Cheng Xiaofeng's muttering became smaller and smaller, and Yi Yu heard the words that Dr. Jin Qide might lose a place for her, and hurriedly asked:

"He really didn't tell me, what kind of five-academy art competition? Is it the same as the discussion? ”

Cheng Xiaofeng looked at her very strangely, and explained the "Five Academies Art Competition" to her in detail after half a day.

The extracurricular activities of Guozijian students are not small, Wen has a monthly lecture, March spring, Doubaicao before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, and Wu has a polo, juju, and safari competition once every three months.

The so-called "Five Academies Art Competition", starting on March 11 and October 11 every year, for nine consecutive days, the Guozi priest wine personally selected the topic with the five doctors, piano, chess, painting, and six arts each accounted for a question, a total of nine as a test item, one test per day, after the nine days of competition, it was just Mu Xiu's turn.

Candidates for the students participating in the competition. They are all elites of each college, or those who are talented in one art, or those who are proficient in everything, and nine people are recommended by the doctors of the five colleges.

These nine people represent their respective colleges in the "Five Academies Art Competition", and the nine art test questions are produced by the sacrificial wine institute, and each art takes a winner, and can get a special woodcut of the art, and finally, according to the number of woodcuts owned by each academy, it is ranked.

This ranking is related to the status and treatment of the five academies in Guozijian, for example, why the right to use the library pavilion is limited to the students of the Tai Academy and the four academies and the two academies, because in the "Five Academies Art Competition" held every six months, the two academies are ahead of the other three academies.

This is also the reason why, although the four academies have many small disciples and Han scholars, they are second only to the Tai Academy among the five academies.

The nine students who helped the college win awards will enjoy a very high status in each college, just like Lu Zhi, who participated in the "Five Academies Art Competition" twice during his two years of studying in the four colleges, the first time he got a woodcut, and the second time he got two pieces. The other three academies that helped the four academies win only hung behind the Tai Academy, and received the respect and respect of most of the people in the four academies.

Later, he was transferred to Tai College because of his excellent academic evaluation, and was absent from the art competition in October last year because he was excluded, but in March this year, he helped Tai College get two woodcuts.

"Xiaoyu, don't underestimate that piece of woodcarving, the students who participated in the art competition of the five academies, a total of forty-five people, are not limited to them to choose only one topic, there are always forty-five people to compete for each topic, and these people are all capable people in each academy, it is not easy to come out on top among them, our country has five academies, Tai Academy is the first every year, but they have never taken more than four woodcuts, and on several occasions, the Law Academy has not even got a woodcut."

Lu Zhi participated in the two art competitions in the Four Academies, the first time he took one piece, accounting for most of the credit, and the second time he took two pieces, he took all the credit, because that time, the Tai Academy got four woodcuts, the other three academies each got one piece, and the remaining two pieces were obtained by Lu Zhi alone, which kept the status of the Four Colleges Ten Thousand Years Old 2.

As for the school where Yu Yu is located, it is at most middle-rate, and it is better than the students of the Law School and the School of Mathematics. It's completely inferior to the four academies with many talents and the Tai Academy of Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

After Cheng Xiaofeng finished explaining the art comparison of the five academies, her smile gradually converged, and she said to her with a serious face:

"However, this reference is not fun, there are nine woodcuts in nine questions, and getting woodcuts is naturally respected, and there are many benefits, but in these nine competitions, the worst one will also be selected, these people are often excluded by the college after the art competition, and they will be laughed at by the students of the five colleges who watch the competition on the spot, so they don't have some real skills, and the doctors of each college will not let them out to be ugly."

Cheng Xiaofeng recounted for a long time, looked at the stunned Yu with a dry mouth, poked her shoulder, and called people back to their senses, "My throat is about to smoke, are you listening to me?" ”

Yi Yu made a bitter face, "Sister Xiaofeng, when was the candidate for the art competition decided?" ”

It is said that in a few days, it will be the day of the five academies of art. Shouldn't the candidate have not been decided yet? If it is settled, then there is nothing to do with her, and she can rest assured.

Cheng Xiaofeng stretched out his index finger and rubbed his chin, and said, "The eighth day of the first month." ”

"Last month?" It's a complete fluke.

Cheng Xiaofeng glanced at her, "Of course it's this month, five days later." ”

Several crows flew overhead, and Yu Yu covered his face with both hands, for fear that his expression of five thunders would scare Cheng Xiaofeng.

This morning, Lu Zhi said that he wanted her to persist for five days - isn't it just waiting for the announcement of the artist on the eighth day of the junior high school!

Lu Zhi has never spoken empty words, obviously he is eighty percent sure that she may participate in the art competition of Na Lao Shizi, and he is afraid that she will avoid those who find fault in these five days. was disgraced by others, which affected the final election, so I made an appointment with her for five days!

Come on, she's not as perverted as he is, she can do ninetle! Nine arts - piano, chess, painting, etiquette, music, archery, royal, calligraphy, arithmetic, five of them, she can't even stand the edge, the remaining four, except for the "book" is good at, the others are so-so, if the same people compete for woodcut, the worst possibility can be imagined.

It's reasonable to let her participate in the discussion, and after a debate, there shouldn't be a few people among the students who entered the school in the first year who can talk about her, but to participate in the five colleges art competition - isn't that a shame!

Is Lu Zhi helping her or fixing her, originally she looked at Dr. Cha Jiwen's reputation on her head like a pie falling from the sky, which is a good thing, but it is also easy to get dizzy, since she has it, she will not be stupid and push it out - but in the current situation, if she really wants to participate in the art competition, isn't she rushing to cut vegetables for others?

"Xiaoyu, you won't be frightened by my words, right," Cheng Xiaofeng saw her dejected expression and comforted:

"As long as you take a piece of woodcut, no one dares to question Dr. Cha's praise of you, I know that you are not very good at imperial art and archery, just don't participate in it, although conventionally, everyone is almost full of nine, but after all, there is no clear rule, if you are not good at it, don't join in the fun, so as not to stumble and get the worst, and be ridiculed."

Hear her say so. Yi Yu's mood was only slightly better, "That's better, if you participate in all nine events, Yuyi and archery, I'm afraid there is no worse than me in the entire school..."

This is true, in addition to the eldest grandson, Yu Yu is the latest person to enter the school this year, only one session of the imperial art class, but fell off the horse, the archery class is also the first one at the moment, just after the class was pulled away by Cheng Xiaofeng, these two arts She is a complete layman, just her small body with thin arms and legs, but the possibility of riding a horse and archery is dangerous, I am afraid that it is higher than the worst possibility.

Seeing her self-blowing, Cheng Xiaofeng reached out and poked her head a little angrily, and scolded: "You are a little promising, okay!" This is not compared, your momentum has fallen, hum, don't hang your head, the candidate has not been decided, maybe you don't. ”

Her words have a bit of hatred for iron and steel, her character is extremely friendly, she is good friends with Lu Zhi, and she has known Yiyu for a short time, but because Lu Jun once foolishly explained the affairs of their family, she has indescribable pity for her, a little girl who has no father since she was a child, and is caring and sensible, before she met.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet in the Wei Palace, the various performances of Yiyu were especially in line with her appetite, and she got along several times, she saw from this little girl that the noble girl of Chang'an City did not have a temperament, which made her feel relaxed and liking, so Cheng Xiaofeng naturally classified Yiyu into her own circle.

Cheng Xiaofeng has a straight temperament, but in the end, he is mixed in the circle of nobles in the capital, and he knows how important reputation is to Yiyu now, family background and wealth are accumulated from generation to generation, and only fame is the fastest, so after knowing that Dr. Cha praised Yuyu, he will be happier than himself, and when he knows that she may participate in the art competition, he will specially look for her and want to say something encouraging.

But I didn't want Lu Zhi to tell Yu Yu at all, and after this little girl heard her, she looked listless, of course she would feel angry!

Yi Yu rubbed her head, she could see her thoughts from Cheng Xiaofeng's face, reached out and grabbed her arm, her little face was frustrated, and said with a smile:

"Sister Xiaofeng, don't be angry, I just have some complaints, my eldest brother has never told me this, because it is the first time I heard it, I panicked, don't worry, if I am the candidate for the five academies art competition this time, at least in one item, I will not let anyone overwhelm me."
