Master Ling only left them one stick of incense to compose a poem. For people who are not good at poetry, one stick of incense was not enough time to even prepare a beginning, let alone write a poem.
However, compared to writing an 800-word praise for Su Yueling, it is not difficult for Yuan Suijun to write a poem.
After just a moment, he had thoughts.
Yuan Suijun quickly wrote a poem. After one stick of incense, about one-third of them had not finished writing and chose to give up. There were still some who had finished writing and seemed not satisfied with the poem written in a hurry.
, so they also collected it. For these people, they would rather not submit it than be fooled by random works, otherwise they will be embarrassed when they are criticized by others.
The boy collected the poems he had written one by one and took them to the small room to write them again.
During this period, dishes were served one after another, all of which were seasonal dishes.
Even Yuan Suijun, who was spoiled by the dishes at home, had to admit that there were several seasonal dishes that were quite delicious. Especially the lotus leaf and lotus root soup.
The fragrance of the leaves, combined with the sweetness of the cored lotus seeds, is particularly refreshing. When you get home, you can ask Sister-in-law Yang to study how to make it. This seems to be a taste that Yueling will like.
During this period, Master Ling would also come up with several interesting pairs. After Yuan Suijun chose a pair to show his strength, he gave the opportunity to others to show off.
Master Ling has a powerful background and is known for his upright character. If you can join his disciples, your future will be at least half smooth.
Among these people, Song You, one of the four great talents in Dingnanzhou, was the most active. He was the first to win five out of the dozen or so pairs Master Ling played. Song You can be jokingly called the Four Great Talents, even though he has a family
Although he was very talented and learned, he was very arrogant before the exam and said that he had to be the one to solve Yuan Dynasty in this subject. In the end, he failed to make the top ten, and the first place was taken away by Yuan Suijun. Although Song You was young,
, this year is twenty-two, but Yuan Suijun can't stand it. He is younger and not even twenty.
The top ten test papers will be posted in the Gongyuan and placed there for a month. Therefore, if anyone is dissatisfied with the rankings, they can read those test papers by themselves - this method was invented by the founding emperor, and to a certain extent, it can slow down the imperial examination.
Fraud. Just now Yuan Suijun heard Zhang Cheng tell him that Song You had found a boy at home to copy all the top ten papers.
Yuan Suijun looked at Song You's positive performance and felt that the eyes originally focused on him had decreased a lot. It should be said that Song You had taken away all the hatred points now.
"Brother Song, you are a good man."
It makes his ears much cleaner.
Zhang Cheng didn't understand why Yuan Suijun praised Song You.
For pairs and pots, time flies very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, an hour has passed.
All fifty-three poems were copied and the manuscripts were taken out.
The boys recited each poem with a clear voice, and many students commented on it. If the literati became mean, there would be no one else to worry about.
They are not stingy at all in venoming poems that they don't like, almost reducing them to dust. They are also not stingy in praising really good poems.
Master Ling is trying to save everyone's face. According to him, only the top three poems will have their names disclosed.
The poem written by Yuan Suijun won praise from most people.
"This poem "There is a Beautiful Person" should be the first one. The word orchid never appears in the poem, but it is written about orchid every sentence."
"At first, I thought it was about a peerless beauty. But when I finally put the finishing touch on it, I realized that the peerless beauty was just Lan's foil."
"Yes, it would be good to give it to Green Chrysanthemum, but compared with this one, there is still a bit of a gap."
Song You frowned. Lu Ju's poem was his work. He thought he was going to win the first place, but he didn't know that someone actually beat him.
He is not a person who cannot afford to lose. Although he is a little annoyed, his level is not as good as others, so he can only admit defeat.
Everyone put the hairpins that represented their own meanings under their favorite poems. There were 101 people present, and "A Beautiful Person" received 56 hairpins (Yuan Suijun did not vote for himself), and the second-ranked poem was "Green".
"Chrysanthemum", got 24 flowers, and the third place was "Yonglan", got 10 hairpins.
The top three have already been released, and basically no one pays attention to the rest.
Lord Ling personally revealed the names of the top three poems.
"There is a beautiful person, Yuan Suijun."
The whole audience was in an uproar, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Yuan Suijun. Everyone knew that Yuan Suijun's poems were excellent in writing. Not only were his words reasonable, but they also seemed to have majestic momentum. But they didn't expect that he was also good at poetry.
You must know that he is so low-key today that people almost forget that he exists as Jieyuan.
Song You was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his fist and saluted him.
The second one is Song You. His Green Chrysanthemum is indeed very good. If it weren't for You Yuan Suijun, the first thing is that he didn't run away.
The third person is Liu Bo, a man who is almost 50 years old.
Song You looked at the talented Yuan Suijun and felt extremely regretful. He had a younger sister who was waiting to be married. If Yuan Suijun was not married, he would definitely take the initiative to betroth her to him.
Master Ling looked at Yuan Suijun with admiration in his eyes, "Yuan Jieyuan, what prize do you want?"
He currently only has one disciple. If Yuan Suijun wants to become his disciple, then he will definitely accept him as his disciple.
Yuan Suijun pondered for a moment and asked, "Can the lottery be exchanged?"
Master Ling was stunned for a moment, "Do you want to change it to something else?"
"Yes."
Master Ling's voice became a little more enthusiastic, and he was obviously very interested in the next development, "You can ask Song You and Liu Bo."
Others are simply envious of the three of them. Their names are now remembered by Mr. Ling. What is Yuan Suijun thinking? He still wants to change such a good lottery?
Yuan Suijun looked at Song You and said, "I want to exchange the lottery with you, are you willing?"
Song You's goal from the beginning was to win the first prize. He had already given up on it. Who knew that Yuan Suijun would take the initiative to switch with him when there was a bright future in another village?
He frowned slightly, "Why?" Is he sympathizing with him?
Yuan Suijun said calmly: "Because of your inkstone, my wife will probably like it very much."
"Is that the reason?" Song You looked at him in disbelief. He changed the lottery just to please his wife?
Doesn't he know the significance of the first lottery? It can reduce many obstacles in his future career.
Yuan Suijun naturally knew it, but he didn't care, and he didn't intend to use this method to make Master Ling his disciple. If Master Ling wanted to accept him as his disciple, he would naturally take the initiative.
The corners of his lips raised slightly, "To me, if this gift can make my wife smile, it is the most precious thing, better than anything else."
The purple clothes he wore today not only made him look luxurious, but also gave him a sense of superiority and distance. However, when he smiled, it was as if the spring breeze was blowing, and he was indescribably gentle and affectionate.
The students present felt inexplicably that they were overstretched. If the 250 system was present, it would tell them that they were being overstretched by dog food.

Others compose poems: first, first!
Yuan Suijun: Well, hard work comes second. Huh? How come you are first? Others can’t do it.
