Chapter 88: Qin, Chess, Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting

More than 200 Ming Jing's name-rejected test papers were quickly reviewed by a group of staff who worked in the Wang family. The two best test papers were sent to the middle-aged man.

The handwriting of a test paper was neat and rigorous, and all the answers were all wrong. The middle-aged man stroked the long beard on his jaw and looked at the name. It was Jun Ruochen, the legitimate son of the Qinhou Mansion. He satisfactorily put the answer aside and nodded repeatedly. It seemed that the first name of Lizheng Academy was indeed well-known, but he had the talent of the top scholar.

After getting the second test paper, his handwriting was so leaping, which made the middle-aged man very dislike. After reading the answers, he was correct except for one mistake.

The middle-aged man looked at the only mistake curiously, and immediately became furious. He picked up the red pen and made a big cross on the test paper.

After a while, Lu Jiu came to the room where the papers were being marked indifferently and saw the middle-aged man holding a teacup with a look of unswerving expression.

"Sixth brother-in-law, what happened that made you so angry." Lu Jiu asked in a low voice.

It turned out that this middle-aged man with thin face and extraordinary eyes and temperament was the one who passed the imperial examination in the late Kaiyuan period. He married the sixth queen of the Wang family, who had thrown the hydrangea with him, and had served as the county magistrate in Qinghe County, Hebei for eight years.

The term of office this year has expired. When he returned to Beijing, he happened to meet his wife and sister Wang Liuli to choose a son-in-law. So he volunteered to become an examiner of Mingjing, but unexpectedly encountered such a mess.

He put the big red cross test paper and looked at Lu Jiu hatefully, and slapped his hands on the table. "My sister, this is the person you value! How could such a rude and rude person take the lead?"

Lu Jiu took the test paper with a little panic and took a closer look. One of the questions was selected as the pre-Qin chapter of "Mencius", a question and answer between Mencius and his disciple Jing Chun.

The answer here should be that wealth cannot be lustful, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be defeated. But the answer written by Lu Lile is, "Bah, it's so bad!"

Lu Jiu's face suddenly became extremely ugly. This was a very simple test question. Even a boy who had been in vain for several years could easily answer it. However, this guy deliberately answered it like this because Mencius mocked him as a predecessor of Guigu, Gongsun Yan, and Zhang Yi was not a real man.

The angry Lu Jiu tore the test paper to pieces, and he was extremely angry and hated. Does this hateful guy really treat this marriage as a joke?

In the Ming Jing exam, if you don’t talk about the top three, you won’t even have a name for the top ten. Gu Xihua looked at the road with awkward expression in surprise: “Aren’t you swearing to say that you are a big spring exam, you can’t even enter the top ten? Why can’t you even enter the top ten if you choose a son-in-law in the Wang family?”

"This is probably something wrong." Lu Le touched his forehead, not daring to see anyone.

The main testimonial of the poem is an old man with white hair as white as snow. His vicissitudes of life are full of frustration and unwillingness. The weakest part of the road is this poem. With a thought, he quickly wrote the poem "Jingjinjiu" by his master Li Bai, which has not yet been handed down to the world, and wrote it on paper.

The white-haired old man took the poem he handed over by the first person, looked casually with his slightly narrowed eyes, and then opened his eyes wide.

"Don't you see the Yellow River coming from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning.

Haven't you seen the bright mirror in the high hall sad with white hair, like blue hair in the morning, turning into snow in the evening.

...A horse with a thousand gold fur, a man will be given a good wine, and he will be given the same age as you."

The old man finished reading the song "All Become Wine" softly, feeling deeply moved for a moment, and burst into tears. He waved his hand to the other person who was still thinking hard.

"Do you have to worry about any poetry? As soon as this poem "Walking in the Wine" is released, let alone you wait, even the entire Tang Dynasty, it is difficult for anyone to reach it. Perhaps only the poetic immortal Mr. Taibai can write a new poem and compare it with this one."

The others started to make a fuss and started to make a fuss, rushing to read this poem that is comparable to the poet Taibai. After a long time, they shook their heads one after another, and their expressions retreated with a sad expression.

Some people think that even the poet Taibai may not have made a new poem "Winning to Wine" to reach such a level.

Lu Lele has obtained the first place in this poem, but he himself wanted to escape from this place quickly.

Cheng Changmu hugged him and was about to pass by, and looked at him with admiration.

"Brother Lelai, Brother Lelai, you deceived us so much. When you asked you to recite poems to cheer up, you said that the disciples of the Immortal Poetry, but you could not write poems under the mountains. But today's poem "Asking to Wine" has shocked the past and the present, and praised by thousands of people. The disciples of the Immortal Poetry are well-known, but I, Fatty Cheng, have no honor."

Lu Leye covered his face and lowered his head, his face turned red, and he secretly said to Fatty Cheng in a low voice: "Tell you the truth, this song "I can write about the wine" is not something I can write. It is basically a poem by my master Mr. Taibai."

Fatty Cheng looked at the road with a messy face: "Is that okay?"

The road was as if it were natural: "Why can't it work? My master's Mr. Taibai's poems are my poems. My teacher's brother-in-law, if you have the ability, you can also find a poet master."

Zhang Xun, who was excited to hold the poem and searched for a way out, happened to walk behind the two of them and listened to the conversation in a complete manner.

"My teacher, I'm a teacher! The road is gone, why did the poetic immortal Mr. Taibai accept a shameless person like you!"

Zhang Xun pointed at the road and was so angry that he shivered all over.

Zhang Xun left in anger, and Cheng Changmu kept looking at the road up and down.

"What are you looking at?" The road was angry in his heart and glared at Cheng Changmu with anger.

"It's so shameless, it's so shameless! Brother, my admiration for you has reached a new level."

Cheng Changmu shook his fat body and burst into laughter.

In the next two or three days, Lu Lelai always felt that everyone was looking at himself with a strange look. Calligraphy, piano skills and painting skills were all the time. Jun Ruochen won the first names of calligraphy and painting, and was far ahead.

Gu Xihua, who won the title of piano skills, smiled so proudly in front of Lu Lili. Lu Jiu walked to the two of them with a gloomy face.

"The road is gone! Are you trying to get along with me on purpose?"

"He! He stole his master's poems and cheated the first one in poetry. He was guilty and performed abnormally in the past two days, and it was not intentional." Gu Xihua quickly explained to Lu Le, who was blushing.

"Don't be really the Zhao Kuo who is only good at bragging and talking about war on paper." Lu Jiu did not listen to Gu Xihua's explanation and looked at Lu coldly.

"Wang Liuli, you have a look at me. In the subsequent competition, labor and capital will definitely get you a few firsts." Lu Lili rose up in anger.

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see." Lu Jiu successfully used the trick, his mouth slightly raised, and he left with great pride.

There were not many people participating in the chess game, only more than 60 people. After getting off the road, it was like a fortune. It took two rounds of bye bye in a row. I looked around leisurely and soon lost my interest.

In the top 16 battles, Lu Le Li gently shakes the folding fan and calms down, sitting in front of the chessboard waiting for his opponent.

Gu Xihua worked hard to win two consecutive games, but she didn't want the next game, but she was "lucky" to get the road of two bye trips. Seeing that everyone's attention was a hot topic, Qin Ruochen, the youngest son of the Qinhou Mansion, was attracted by it. Gu Xihua quickly sat down in front of Lu Li, and smiled at the same time with charm.

"Langjun, can you let others win once?"

Gu Xihua's voice was delicate, as if it had a strange magic, making people feel weak when they heard it.

If it were normal, Lu Lele would have lost his armor and defeated him soon. At this time, he had a stinking face and looked at Gu Xihua coldly.

"What do you think?"

"Hmph!" Gu Xihua snorted coldly, and while no one was paying attention, he slapped his hand hard on Lu Lili's hand: "If you don't let me, don't let me go, I really think I'm afraid of you."

Lu Lili smiled slightly and reached out indifferently to signal Gu Xihua to go first. Gu Xihua stood up angrily and turned her head to look at him.

"I admit defeat, so I don't want to play chess with you, a guy who doesn't know how to be merciful."

In an understatement, he won the two more effortlessly, and reached the final without any attention. On the other side, Jun Ruochen, who was very concerned about the attention of everyone and occasionally aroused the cheers, also reached the final with his head held high.

It was getting late, and the game was the next day.

On the day of the game, the Wang family invited a disciple of Chess Saint King Jishen to set up a game to talk about chess in the courtyard. They also set up a special handicap for those who watched the game and bet on chess to cheer up the fun.

Countless guests bet on Qin Ruochen of Qin Hou Mansion, and Qin Ruochen compensated 1.5 per 1. Except for a few people who want to speculate, almost no one is optimistic about the road, and 11 per 1 per 1 per 1 per 1 per 1 per 1 per 1 per 1 per 1.

Gu Xihua took out all the valuable things on her body, but there was still not much, so she looked at Zhou Liuzi, Boss Hu and others. Zhou Liuzi, Boss Hu was unwilling to do so, took out one or two hundred pitiful copper coins, shook her head and said that she had nothing.

Gu Xihua took off Zhou Liuzi's jade pendant and held it in his hand. Zhou Liuzi was so desperate that he almost wanted to cry. For him, the jade pendant with special significance was finally taken back from the clutches of the road. Is it going to be lost again?

"I kindly mean to take you two poor people to make money, why are you mourning and mourning?" Gu Xihua said angrily.

"Really!" Pei Wuniang looked a little disbelief.

"Do you think I, Gu Xihua, are like a person who deceives you with such a small amount of money?" Gu Xihua looked a little anxious.

Gritting his teeth, Pei Wuniang took two jewelry from her head that Tang Xiaoqi gave her, took out all 200 copper coins, and handed them to Gu Xihua. She turned her head and stared at Li Sheng, who was like a worm, with an unstoppable look.

Li Sheng touched his head innocently and took out dozens of copper coins pitifully, but he could no longer take out anything. Pei Wuniang took off his sword and handed it to Gu Xihua with the copper coins.

"That's the sword passed down from my family. If I lose, my elders will beat me to death after a while." Li Sheng looked at his sword with a gaze and muttered to Pei Wuniang.

"If we lose, we will ask our senior brother for compensation. If we win, we can earn more than ten times. Would you be a little brave and generous?" Pei Wuniang looked full of confidence and fearless.

When Gu Xihua heard this, fortunately she was very confident about Lu Lele’s chess skills. If she really lost, she wouldn’t have caused him a lot of trouble.

He looked at the betting on Qin Ruochen's hand, and there were crowds of people. Gu Xihua weighed the things in his hand and sighed. It was still too few.

After looking around, I suddenly found the little Taoist priest Gu Ye and Ge Shu Xiaoye in Taoist robe. Fengzi removed dust, like a pair of immortal disciples. Gu Xihua smiled slightly and walked over.

"Guye, Guye, your junior brother, Lu Le, play chess and wins with others. If you don't bet on him, will you just watch here?" Gu Xihua appeared in front of Guye and Brother Shu Xiaoye with grace.

Gu Ye looked at the elegant young man in front of him in a confused manner, vaguely familiar with him, but he couldn't remember who he was.

"Have you asked for advice yet, do we know this young master?"

Only then did Gu Xihua realize that not everyone is like a roadblock. No matter what he looks like, he can recognize him at a glance.

"I am Xihua. This time I came to participate in the Wang family's marriage recruitment and son-in-law selection. I changed a little. No wonder you didn't recognize it."

"This, Miss Xiaoye and I are monks. For the competition between Junior Brother Lu and Jun Ruochen, I can only cheer for him in my heart. I'll bet on something, so let's forget it."

Although this junior brother Lu was quick-witted and had a lot of wisdom and tricks, he still thought that Jun Ruochen, who had won several talents in a row, was better than that of a somewhat tricky road and had a greater chance of winning.

Gu Xihua immediately understood the reason and smiled.

"I don't know how good is Mr. Ruochen from Qinhou Mansion chess skills. But I understand your junior brother Lu's chess skills better than anyone else. His chess skills are excellent. In Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, no one will be his opponent except the Chess Saint King's accumulated salary."

When Brother Shu Xiaoye heard this, his beautiful eyes turned repeatedly, and he couldn't help but secretly clicked Gu Ye's back with his hands a few times.

"Haha!" Gu Ye immediately laughed: "As a senior brother, I naturally have to support you with all my strength."

Cheng Changmu originally wanted to get close to Guye Taboo, so he almost supported his ears, and then he heard all the conversation.

Seeing Gu Ye and Ge Shu Xiaoye taking down all the jewelry and jade on their bodies, they rushed to the front in a hurry.

"Wait, wait! My property is betting on my own, Brother LeLe to win."

"Patient Cheng, aren't you Jun Ruochen's good brother? Why don't you support him, but support me Senior Brother Lu?" Brother Shu Xiaoye showed a sarcastic look on his face and looked at Cheng Changmu with a smile.

"Haha! No matter how good a brother is, I can't be in trouble with money. Brother Ruochen is straight and rigorous, but Brother Lelai is extremely cunning. I'd better play chess, it's better for me to suppress my brother."
