When he arrived in Xu Zhengqing's room, Fang Zhongyong, as his closed disciple, naturally he would not show mercy and no pressure when he trained him. Even if it was Xu Xian, he couldn't escape today, but the degree of training was slightly lighter than Fang Zhongyong.

Xu Zhengqing first asked the reason for the two leaving.

At this point, Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong had already thought of a rhetoric on the way back.

It was said that Fang Zhongyong had a friend he had known a long time ago, and this time he happened to be in Jinling City, and he had a conflict with someone, and the situation was critical, so he needed two people to go to the rescue, so he had to leave the table halfway.

Regarding the matter of peony, it is better to hide it for the time being, otherwise no one knows what Xu Zhengqing's opinion is on this matter. If he was furious after hearing this, and went all out against Fang Zhongyong and Peony being together, it would be very difficult.

It's better to take it step by step and subtly let Xu Zhengqing accept it.

"You can tell me something, discuss it with me, and I'll find a way to solve it for you!"

"In the middle of the banquet, the two of you didn't say goodbye at the same time, this is simply not polite, disrespectful and unruly! Do you know how unbearable it is for Hangzhou Academy to let the other three classmates after you leave?" Xu Zhengqing asked angrily.

It turned out that Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong left, and in the next process of the wine order, Hangzhou Academy was targeted by Jinling Academy everywhere, and every time they arrived at Hangzhou Academy, Jinling Academy would try their best to find some difficult verses, making Hangzhou Academy one of the first academies to be eliminated, and was secretly ridiculed by many people.

If it is a normal situation, even if Xu Xian and Fang Zhong are never there, the strength of Hangzhou Academy can be ranked in the middle, but it will not work if it is targeted.

"Moreover, a small drinking order, even if you lose some face, it's okay, it's over. Do you know how much your 'deserter's behavior will smear you? Many people are saying tonight that you are a deceitful and a thief of fame, and that the name of the so-called genius is false! If this matter is passed on, the reputation and reputation of the two of you will be completely ruined!" Xu Zhengqing said bitterly.

Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong had heard about it, and they couldn't help but be a little angry.

These people are really targeting them everywhere, and when they leave halfway, they are said to be weak and run away, and when they become deserters, it seems that stepping on them can make them look very powerful.

Stepping on genius under your feet, more pleasure?

The two of them immediately promised that they would go all out to start tomorrow's Jiangnan Talent Literary Conference, no longer make any trouble, and would use their absolute strength to justify their own name, and slap the faces of those who looked down on them, Xu Zhengqing calmed down a little, did not continue to embarrass the two, and let the two go back to the house and rest early.

In fact, this is tomorrow's Wenhui competition, and you can't do any punishment before the game, you have to recuperate.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two of them to pass the test so easily, and they would be done after being reprimanded for two sentences, and they would not have to receive some real punishment.

......

......

The Jiangnan Caizi Cultural Society is different from the imperial examination.

Although the test time is also three days, the items of the test are different.

There are three items in the Wenhui exam, namely: calligraphy, poetry, and literature.

Because the 'Jiangnan Talented Scholars Literary Society', as the name suggests, elects talented people with talents, which is still very different from the imperial examination, so it will not test articles such as scriptures and theories, and focus more on the development of students in all aspects of literature and Taoism.

Secondly, the three days of the Wenhui examination will not be as strict as the imperial examination, requiring candidates to spend three days in the examination hall and the like, and cannot go anywhere.

The competition system of the Wenhui is more like the examination of the earth in the afterlife, one project a day, and after the exam, the students can leave on their own and come back to participate in the second project the next day.

Of course, if you fail the first event on the first day, you will be at the bottom of all the students, and you will not be eligible to participate in the competition on the second day.

Therefore, unlike the imperial examination, the Wenhui competition does not combine the three items to see the comprehensive results, but separates.

Wenfu is the most important, this last competition, will determine who is the Jiangnan talent of this year's Jiangnan Wenhui; calligraphy is the first screening project, if anyone's calligraphy is not good, even if poetry, Wenfu no matter how outstanding, it will be useless, the first round of the competition will be eliminated!

This is also why Shen Zhou, Qiu Ying and other students of Jinling Academy, even if they knew that Xu Xian's talent in poetry was rare through the ages, they didn't feel much of a threat to them.

Because of the literary exam, poetry is actually a project that is not heavy or itchy.

If Xu Xian's calligraphy attainments were shallow, he would not have had the opportunity to participate in the poetry competition.

If Xu Xian's calligraphy can barely pass the test, then poetry is not the final project that determines the outcome of the project, but also depends on the Wenfu! Wenfu is not only to see the poetry talent, in fact, the most important thing to look at is the student's mind, mind, spirit, etc.!

No matter how talented Xu Xian is, he will definitely be weaker than the students of Jinling Academy if he is convenient in Wenfu.

Why?

Because Xu Xian only studied at Hangzhou Academy, and they studied at Jinling Academy.

The environment of the college and the influence that students receive on a daily basis are an important factor in the creation of literary endowments!

The more talented people he comes into contact with on weekdays, and the better education he receives, then the literary endowment he creates will be superior in terms of concept!

Therefore, in their opinion, it is difficult for Xu Xian to compare with the leaders of Jinling Academy in this regard.

In fact, not only Xu Xian, but few people in the entire Jiangnan can compare. This is why Jinling Academy has always controlled the Jiangnan Literary Association.

Today is the official start of the Jiangnan Cultural Association, Jinling Academy began to 'wake up' earlier than usual, the sky is not yet bright, and the dormitory building is full of conversations and washing.

It snowed last night, and it was very early this morning, and around the square where the statue of the saint was erected in the center of the college, there were neat chairs and benches for the exams to be used by the candidates later.

At the front of the square, there are three Taishi chairs, which are used by the examiners and judges of the Jiangnan Cultural Association.

Generally speaking, there are three examiners and judges.

A great Confucian of the Holy Academy, who occupies the most dominant position, can be called the chief examiner of the Jiangnan Literary Association. The other two were an official sent by the imperial court and the chief scholar of the Jiangnan region.

The official sent by the imperial court this time was Jiang Haibo, the head of the household department.

As a crisp bell rang, when the time came, the students from all colleges entered the examination room with solemn faces.

Different from the imperial examination, there is a ceremony before the opening of the literary examination, first of all, a sacrificial wine is required to stand up and recite an article to worship the saint in public, and then lead the crowd to bow to the statue of the saint, and after burning incense, the candidates sit down one after another and begin to listen to a teacher from Jinling University explain the rules of the competition.

"The time of the calligraphy competition is one hour, the number of words is not limited, the content is not limited, it depends on your own understanding and ......"

After half an hour, the calligraphy exam finally began.

After Xu Xian sat down, he began to study ink to adjust his mood and put himself in the best state, and recalled in his head some common sense that Xu Zhengqing, a scholar of political science, told him about the Wenhui.

In the first level of calligraphy, although the content and number of words are not limited, there are actually some unspoken rules.

The number of words is fine, you don't need too much, too much will not add points, of course, too few is not good, one or two words are difficult to fully show the calligraphy attainments.

Just be appropriate.

It is best to be between five crosses and one hundred words.

But the content of what is written is more important, and it is a very plus factor.

For example, if your calligraphy is written in a nonsense and unnutritious way, even if the calligraphy is good, I am afraid it will be difficult to see and will be greatly deducted.

If your calligraphy is a famous piece of calligraphy, even if the calligraphy is slightly inferior, it can become a masterpiece.

So what you write is very important.

Xu Xian didn't think much about it before the exam, and he didn't decide what to write.

Sometimes casual improvisation in the exam room is better than long and thoughtful thinking.

Slowing down his breathing, his head was empty, and when the sound of 'rustling' was already sounding around him, Xu Xian didn't start writing.

Many people next to him glanced at Xu Xian attentively, and looked at Xu Xian's appearance of studying ink all the time but couldn't put pen to paper, and couldn't help but sneer, quite disdainful. I thought that it seems that this folk legend of the first talent in Jiangnan is afraid that the calligraphy is difficult to see, and the first level will be brushed down!

How bad is this calligraphy, I don't even dare to put pen to paper? It will end up making a big joke!

As for the outside of the examination room, there are also many people who are paying attention to the situation in the examination room, and the main focus is on the few people who are the most eye-catching and most promising to obtain the name of Jiangnan genius and become Confucian scholars in this examination.

For example, the three people of Jinling Academy, Shen Zhou, Qiu Ying, and Lu Zijiu, they are likely to be the three people who will dominate this literary meeting. Another example is Xu Xian and Fang Zhongyong, many people were originally optimistic about them becoming dark horses, but now most people think that they are parallel imports......

When someone saw that Xu Xian didn't use his pen and kept studying ink in a daze, the name of parallel goods became even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And no matter how unique your poetry is in the world, it is rare to meet through the ages, if this first level of calligraphy can't be passed, then everything is in vain!

Even if the calligraphy is too poor, it will become a joke in the world, and a joke in everyone's mouth!

Even Xu Zhengqing became anxious when he saw this.

What's going on, is this kid stupid? Why don't you still put pen to paper?

He was very aware of Xu Xian's strength. Although Xu Xian's calligraphy is much worse than his poetic talent, he is definitely the best among his peers, not much different from Fang Zhongyong, and there is absolutely no problem at all after passing the first level of this Jiangnan Literary Conference!

But if Xu Xian is stunned for a while and doesn't use his pen, then it will be uncertain, it will really be very dangerous!

You must know that this calligraphy exam has a time limit. An hour is really not a long time.

According to the relatively small number of words, fifty words, it will take a long time.

Because calligraphy is rarely achieved overnight, it can be done only once. It often takes several times, or even a dozen times, to write the most satisfying state.

An hour, that is, when you are in good shape, can play your best. So after the exam began, everyone worked hard to write, racing against time, for fear that there would not be enough time, how could there be such a leisurely person as Xu Xian?

If he could, Xu Zhengqing couldn't wait to go up and slap Xu Xian and wake him up!

However, the time passed for one stick of incense after another, and Xu Xian was still studying the ink, and still did not start writing.

At this time, there are even more stares and ridicule.

At this moment, almost everyone felt in their hearts that Xu Xian was really funny this time, and he must be out of action in this first calligraphy competition.

Halfway through the time, no one can achieve much in such a short period of time.

Xu Zhengqing closed his eyes in despair, and silently thought in his heart: "It's over, it's over." He couldn't figure out how he could make such a fuss last night when he had promised to make a good Xu Xian.

Just when everyone was holding this thought, Xu Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, and a flash of spiritual light flashed in his mind, as if he had been empowered, and instantly decided what he should write in this painting.

Lay out the paper, pick up the pen, take a deep breath, and concentrate on writing.

These lines, Xu Xian wrote very smoothly, like flowing water, in one go, without the slightest pause in the middle. And he has been brewing for so long, and his condition is also unprecedentedly good, reaching the peak and reaching the best state in one go.

In normal times, Xu Xian's practice of calligraphy is not immediately in the state, and he often has to write several times to achieve the best.

Put down the pen, blow dry the ink, in less than half a cup of tea, clean and neat like a peerless swordsman, draw the sword and kill and then return the sword to the sheath, so fast that people can't see clearly!

Then, in the shocked eyes of everyone, Xu Xian raised his hand and handed over the papers!

He was the first to hand in the papers.

It's unbelievable that the last pen to be written, but the first to be handed in.

You must know that there is a statue of a saint erected in this square, this kind of behavior is simply absurd, and it is a big disrespect to treat this meeting as a game!

Someone has already started scolding: Shaft!

Xu Zhengqing's face was already pale, and he kept giving Xu Xian a look, motioning for him to sit back and not hand in the papers.

As for the people who don't like Xu Xian, they are happy in their hearts, this guy has died to such an extent, and he can be regarded as the first person in the ages.

But the most inexplicable thing is that there are still three examiners.

Jiang Shilang came to invigilate this time, because he received an order, and wanted to see if there was a chance to move Xu Xian, so that he could not develop smoothly. But now that he hasn't done it yet, why did Xu Xian give up on himself?

As for the chief examiner this time, Li Yuanhui, a great Confucian in the current dynasty, was also a little caught off guard.

You must know that this Jiangnan Cultural Conference was mainly held for Xu Xian, and wanted to admit him to the Holy Academy. Now that this kind of thing has happened, if Xu Xian really makes a big joke, the Holy Court will be embarrassed.

However, a great Confucian is a great Confucian after all, and his firm and calm heart is by no means beyond the reach of ordinary people. Although Xu Xian behaved too weirdly, judging from the information he knew, Xu Xian would never joke like this and regard his future as child's play.

He was almost certain that the writing was absolutely weird, and it was definitely not as unbearable as everyone imagined!

It's just that even as a great Confucian, he couldn't think of what Xu Xian had written, it would be finished so quickly, and he was so sure that he would hand in the paper in advance.

"No need to go! let him hand in the exam papers himself!" Li Yuanhui commanded in a deep voice, preventing anyone from collecting Xu Xian's exam papers.

He wanted to see what Xu Xian's words were written and how they were written. If it was really as everyone thought, even if it didn't conform to the rules, he was ready to severely reprimand Xu Xian a few words and let him go back and rewrite it.

However, Xu Xian was not destined to disappoint him.

When Xu Xian took the test paper in front of him with a steady step, after he saw the words on the paper clearly, he couldn't help but tremble with excitement with his years of self-cultivation, and stood up directly.

I saw four lines of dignified characters written on the paper:

Establish a heart for heaven and earth!

Make a life for the people!

For the sake of the saints, continue to learn!

Open peace for all generations!

(2-in-1 big chapter!1, 2nd update!)

This chapter has been written since last night, and for fear that you will say that it is short and weak, I simply wrote it all at once, so as not to say it. It should be pretty comfortable to watch now, right?

Should I watch the reward and vote for two more monthly passes?)
