In the early morning, the jade was in the chirping of the silver sky. After shooting the last arrow of this morning's solo training section, and relaxing from head to toe, he beckoned to Pinghui, who was probing her brain at the door of the West House, and motioned for her to come over.

After changing his outfit and refreshing himself, Yu Yu was not in a hurry to let the maids make breakfast, and went to the small study to write for two quarters of an hour before eating breakfast, and went to school with a new schoolbag refreshed.

Guozijian's atmosphere today is obviously different, and when he walks outside the main gate, he can hear the students who got off the carriage and walked to one place talking loudly about the art competition of the five courtyards, and she was seen as a monkey a while ago, but there are very few at this time. Today is the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the candidates for the five academies of each academy are determined.

Before the morning class, the doctors will personally go to the various teaching houses to personally select the candidates, and before noon, the names of the forty-five students will be written on the red list and posted at the Hongwen intersection, which is an extremely glorious event before the competition, no matter what.

The two siblings walked aside. While talking in a low voice, most of them were talking about Li Tai teaching her archery and chess in the past few days, Lu Zhi wanted to go back to take care of the Lu family, and he didn't have time to care if Yu Yu was too close to Li Tai, and listened to her generously talk to herself about these things, but she dispelled some worries, sent her to the gate of the academy, told her a few words, and let her in.

Xu is the fifth academy art is approaching, and there are no students who have come to trouble Yu Yu in the past two days, she rarely entered the teaching house leisurely, and when she walked to Du He's side, the second young master Du still greeted her with a smile familiarly.

"Miss Lu, morning."

"Morning." Yi Yu smiled back, and Li Tai praised her in the morning, although it was only the three words "progress", it was much stronger than him not saying a word.

Du He saw that she was in a good mood, and was about to take the opportunity to talk a few more words, when she was surrounded by two students who had just entered the teaching hall.

"Second Young Master, you must be selected this time! My son and I have forced you to pay twenty taels of silver, and our church has participated in the five-academy art competition, and when the time comes, you can also get a good seat......

Although there are a lot of entertainment activities at this time, for the students of Guozijian, the art competition of the five academies is definitely the first.

First of all, it takes up time in class. There are a few students at this age who don't like to play and can sit honestly, not to mention that they have just been released for September, and the students are having a big heart. Secondly, it is very rich in content, and the topics of the nine arts have always been very interesting, and thirdly, most of the selected references are talented and beautiful people, and it is also good to raise eyeballs. In the end, the five academies of the reference are distinct, and they all have their own support, and the five academies are not only a grand meeting of the forty-nine people, but also a grand meeting of the entire Guozijian.

Yi Yu laughed secretly, walked to her place and sat down, took out a palm-sized booklet and flipped through it, with some graphics painted on it, it turned out to be her least favorite chess game!

The students in the teaching house came very early today, a quarter of an hour before the bell rang, the twenty students in the room were all together, and they were recalling the relics of last night's chess game, when they suddenly felt a quiet in their ears, and the chatter just now did not know where to go.

She looked up and saw charity. The gray-haired Dr. Jin Qide stood outside the door with two gentlemen dressed in classical costumes.

"Dr. Jin." Got up and saluted, and the students all sat down.

Yi Yu heard a student at the next table in the same row lean back a little excitedly, covered his mouth, and whispered to the person behind him:

"If you see it, I'll say that someone from our church will be selected!"

After Dr. Jin wrote a passage in "Divination" with his relics, his mood was greatly opened, not only did his calligraphy break through the bottleneck, but he also lost his previous old-fashioned personality.

Sweeping around the students in the teaching hall, Dr. Jin's originally serious face suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile: "When I just walked in, I heard your high-pitched talk, why did you stop as soon as the old man came." ”

It was said to be a loud talk, but in fact it was a noisy chat, and the students saw that Mr. had no intention of pursuing it, but relaxed, and a bold young man stood up from his seat and said loudly:

"Dr. Jin, are you here to be a candidate for the Fifth Academy Art Competition?"

"Yes, yes."

The young man was overjoyed and said, "Are the students in the ranks?" ”

As soon as the young man asked unabashedly, the room immediately resounded with a loud laugh of "haha", as if he was sneering at his incompetence, and the young man glared at the people who laughed the most dissatisfied:

"Laughing very much, I know all six arts, why can't I be selected."

"Tong? What is the meaning of passing, I have not been evaluated in a ten-month examination, and I am a nameless person, and I don't know what I can do. There was some shrill sarcasm coming from the back of the house. Yi Yu turned his head slightly to look, and saw that the person who was sitting and talking was the male student who was used to following Changsun Xian.

"You," the young man's voice paused, and he saw the recognition of the words, and did not refute, but turned his head to wait for Dr. Jin to answer.

This somewhat wretched performance made many people bow their heads and snicker, but Yi Yu admired him for daring to stand up and ask in one fell swoop, you must know that there are indeed very few students who don't want to participate in the Five Academies Art Competition, but because there are even fewer who are qualified to participate, how can they be so bold to say their desires, how can they not have a little courage. Those who ridicule this young man are probably mostly a kind of sour grapes mentality.

Dr. Jin Qide was obviously accustomed to this kind of small friction, and did not show dissatisfaction, put the hand behind his back in front of him, opened a book of folds with gold on a red background and gold border in his hand, glanced at it, and shook his head at the young man:

"Cheng Gongzi, there is no candidate for this art competition, but the old man believes that you will have a chance to participate in the future."

A trace of disappointment crossed the young man's face, and he nodded to Jin Qide. Sit down. People are lucky, even if they know that their chances of being selected are very small, they still can't help but fantasize about it.

Yi Yu looked at Jin Qide's action of looking for the list just now, and he had a little respect in his heart, the dean of the academy, the list of nine people in total passed through his hands, is there anyone who can't remember, but he still checked it carefully, and his words saved the face of the young man.

Dr. Jin wasted no more time and took a step straight inside, under the gaze of twenty pairs of eyes. Said loudly: "The reference students of the Bingchen Sect this time——"

He stretched out one hand straight to the first person sitting in the row by the window, "Du Gongzi." ”

There was an immediate whisper in the teaching house, and Yu Yu saw that the two teenagers who were talking to Du He in the morning raised their fists at the same time, and their expressions were very happy.

Du He stood up in disgrace, and after saluting Dr. Chong Jin, he walked to the empty podium and stood up, the selected students did not have to attend the first class in the morning, and they had to be gathered in the Xuanlou at the intersection of Zhiming Road to listen to the sacrificial wine and explain the conventions.

After Du He stood up, he moved his gaze to Yi Yu, just looked at her, and then raised his lips and smiled, and Yu Yu nodded lightly, which was regarded as congratulations.

Dr. Jin stretched out his hand again and gestured towards the last row, "Miss Changsun." ”

"Bang, bang, bang"... Suddenly, almost half of the students in the teaching house were gently and rhythmically tapping the table, and in this very rhythmic voice, Changsun Xian got up and walked to Du He's side and stood up.

The students in the school hall were very excited at this time, although there were not many people in the academy, there were more than a dozen teaching houses, and there were only nine people in total, and they actually had two here!

Just when everyone kept the sound of tapping on the desk, and were about to watch Dr. Jin leave with Du He and Changsun Xian, they saw Dr. Jin stroke his beard lightly, and after falling down, he gestured in one direction.

Everyone turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction of his finger, and the sound of the attack came to an abrupt end.

"Miss Lu."

Yi Yu propped up the desk with both hands, stood up straight, and saw her quietly looking at her with all kinds of strange expressions, silent classmates, she had a decent smile on her face, and she couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, these people are too faceless!

According to the appearance of the two people in front of her, she nodded to Jin Qide first, then walked around her seat, raised her eyebrows and smiled at her eldest grandson Xian, who was looking at her a little coldly, and walked to the front of the podium. Stand on the other side of Duho.

"Congratulations." Du He turned his head sideways and whispered to Yu Yu.

When Yu Yu was hesitating to answer him with a "happy and happy", he listened to Dr. Jin's words of encouragement to the following students:

"The students who were not selected this time should not be discouraged, the glory of the academy is not something that can be decided by the nine people who are involved, the sons and ladies here, the old man hopes that you will always remember that you are students of the Guozi Academy!"

The churchhouse, which had fallen into silence because of the selection of Yu Yu, was rekindled by Dr. Jin's simple words, and a smile of joy and excitement was on his face again. Fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys and girls, no matter how precocious they are, can't hide the hidden innocence.

After the three of them left with Dr. Jin, the students in the teaching house began to "talk loudly" again.

"Ahh I originally thought that the second son and the eldest grandson would be selected! But I didn't expect that Miss Lu could also be selected! ”

"Yes, yes! She can be selected like that, but she was praised by Dr. Cha of the Tai Academy, phew! Compared with the third miss, I have been sitting next to her for so long, and I don't see anything remarkable about her, where can I compare to the third miss. ”

"The rat's eyes are gone, her eldest brother is Lu Zhi! Lu Zhi of Tai Academy! ”

"What's wrong with Lu Zhi, her eldest brother is Lu Zhi, and she is not Lu Zhi."

"I'll be fair, Miss Lu's handwriting is really good."

"Go aside, you can make out the words in your eyes!"

Seeing that these four or five people were about to quarrel, the young man who was the first to ask when Dr. Jin came raised his voice and said, "Don't quarrel, no matter what, it is always a good thing for us to have one more person selected, so it doesn't matter who she is selected." ”

......

There was a discussion in the teaching house, and the three of them followed Dr. Jin to the courtyard, and saw that there were already six students waiting in the courtyard in an orderly manner, presumably the other six scholars were the reference candidates.

(Two more to) (!) )
