After reading the article, all the girls present cast envious glances at Qin Mosheng.
If a boy did this to them, they would definitely faint from happiness.
However, Qin Wenjie was not only good at writing, he was also handsome and gentle. At this moment, countless girls regarded Qi Wenjie as their dream lover.
Only Qin Mo Sheng sighed in his heart: "It's a pity that your father's official position is too small, and I am destined to become the woman of the Flame God. You and I are not a good match!"
Others finished writing one after another, and the articles were reviewed by everyone in turn.
There are many good articles, including Bai Xu’s.
But compared with Qi Wenjie's, their articles were much inferior and were quickly put aside.
Bai Xu was very reluctant, but after reading Qin Wenjie's article, he could only feel sorry for himself.
"It seems that Wenjie is the one who comes out on top today." Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
"That's right, Wenjie is so good, he will be named on the gold list soon."
"Mrs. Qin, why not choose Wenjie as your son-in-law? In the future, he can also help Magistrate Qin."
All the noble ladies praised him one after another.
Just as Mrs. Qin said, they also had their thoughts on choosing a son-in-law. Qi Wenjie's performance made many people secretly tempted and prepared to take action.
"Madam, my Yan'er hasn't finished writing yet." Bai Hanshi suddenly interrupted.
Everyone looked around, and sure enough, Bai Yan was the only one left who was still writing in a confused manner.
Everyone had finished writing and submitted it for appreciation. Only a few dudes gave up halfway and handed in blank papers.
Now, only Bai Yan is left writing.
"Then just wait, I hope Mr. Bai can give us a surprise." Mrs. Qin said lightly, with no reaction on her face.
No one was in the mood to wait, but now that Mrs. Qin had spoken, they could only obey.
After a few more minutes, Bai Yan put down his brush and moved his wrist.
The calligraphy was really difficult for him. His hands were sore after writing an article.
"Mrs. Qin, I've already written it. I have to go to the front hall, so I'll take my leave first." After Bai Yan excused himself, he stood up and left.
Xu Sang and other dandies left together. When these noble ladies came, they no longer wanted to stay here.
"Brother Bai Yan, why are you still serious? You know they want you to make a fool of yourself, so it's better to hand in a blank paper. These people don't know how to ridicule you. There are also those acid scholars, it's uncomfortable to stay with them.
"
Xu Sang put his arm on Bai Yan's shoulder and muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Who said I was the ugly one?" Bai Yan asked with a smile.
"Come on, you've beaten away several gentlemen, but you can write articles? I don't know about that bit of ink in your belly, brother?" Xu Sang snorted coldly and asked: "Brother, do you really want to cancel your relationship with Miss Qin?
An engagement? Her father is now the prefect, and with this opportunity, even if you are not an official, running a bank will be very convenient."
"I know this, but if I don't cancel it, I'm afraid we will become enemies. Besides, I don't need the Qin family's connections." Bai Yan said nonchalantly.
"Brother, you should think about it. If you business families want to survive, you cannot do without the support of the government. If there is no one in the government, you will fail quickly." Xu Sang continued to persuade.
He felt that Bai Yan was too irrational. Although they were playboys, they also knew their way around the business and official circles.
At this moment, a woman's exclamation came from behind.
"What happened?" Xu Sang and others looked back.
"Ignore them." Bai Yan said without looking back.
At this moment, what Mrs. Qin is holding is Bai Yan's article.
"The falling clouds and the solitary owl fly together, the autumn water is the same color as the sky... Absolute, absolutely amazing!"
Mrs. Qin was so shocked that her whole body trembled.
Other ladies are also obsessed with Bai Yan's articles.
Some of them don't understand the article, but after reading it, they can find the charm and get deeply involved in it.
Qi Wenjie, Qin Mosheng, Bai Xu and others were all stunned on the spot.
They kept replaying Bai Yan's article in their minds. They didn't want to do this, but they just couldn't control themselves.
"Although the handwriting is a bit ugly, this article is probably better than Mr. Qi's."
"Although Mr. Qi's articles are delicious, they lack a bit of courage. As a woman, I can feel the heroic spirit in them."
All the noble ladies praised him again and again, and they were generous in their praise.
"Let me just say that my son has great literary talents. Even the literary talents of the Hanlin Academy adults may not be as good as my Yan'er."
Bai Hanshi also praised him, his face full of pride.
Anyway, Bai Xu can't marry Qin Mo Sheng, so she might as well show off to save these people from taking her seriously.
It doesn't matter if she and Bai Yan don't deal with each other. In the eyes of these people, she is Bai Yan's stepmother and Bai Yan is her child.
"Is this article plagiarized?" Qin Mosheng muttered unwillingly.
She didn't believe that Bai Yan could write such a good article.
"Plagiarism? Miss Qin, you have to be careful when speaking. When you say plagiarism, who did you plagiarize from? The current number one scholar? I'm afraid that even the number one scholar can't write such an article, right? Miss Qin, you don't want to marry
Bai family, we accept it. But you can't taint us and make people think that I, the matron of the family, have no way to teach my children." Bai Hanshi opened fire and taunted unceremoniously.
How dare a concubine mock me? Qin Mo Sheng was ashamed and angry.
But she was unable to refute, as Bai Han said, such a good article could only be written by a scholar.
At least in Yanzhou City, there is no such person, and Bai Yan has nowhere to copy him if he wants to.
Helpless, she could only lower her head: "Mrs. Bai, I didn't mean that..."
"It's okay if it's not." Bai Han snorted coldly.
Bai Yan and a few dudes came to the front yard. They didn't know who had brought the news. The elders were all talking about the competition between the younger generations in terms of literary talents, complimenting each other and guessing who would come out on top.
He passed the crowd and walked straight into the hall.
When Qin Zhifu saw Bai Yan coming, he immediately felt unhappy.
At this moment, those who can have a seat in the hall are all powerful beings in the North. Even Bai Yan's father barely had a seat because of his marriage contract, and he was still in the lowest ranks.
When the others saw Bai Yan, they all showed contempt. Only one person smiled at Bai Yan and nodded.
"Who is this person? He sits at the top, and his official position should not be under Qin Zhifu. I have never seen such a high-ranking official, why are you nodding to me?"
Bai Yan glanced at the man warily and remembered him firmly. There must be a demon when something goes wrong, and he must investigate this man later. Unless that man is kind and treats everyone like this.
"Bai Yan, I heard that you were making a fuss behind the scenes and we were discussing. I didn't expect you to come over." Qin Zhifu said with a smile.
"I finished an article and came here. I'm bothering Uncle Qin and all the adults." Bai Yan responded politely.
