In fact, Chen Ke and his Jiayou Society were only juniors in front of the Taixue Literary Society headed by Liu Ji.
The Taixue Literary Society is known to only recruit people with outstanding literary talents, so it gathers intellectuals from Taixue. However, there are also many educated people from Beijing who spend a lot of money to buy into the society in order to increase their aura. Therefore, this organization has been established for many years.
It can be said that a group needs talent, wealth and wealth, and its reputation will never be the same.
But the newly emerged Jiayou Society made them feel very unhappy. Because Chen Ke, brothers Su Shi, and Lu Huiqing actually rejected their invitation to join the club and instead formed a small group of their own to entertain themselves. This is
This kind of naked disregard made Taixue Wenhui feel offended.
I thought that these people would be blinded as soon as they entered the examination room. Who knew that when the ranking list was released, all the guys from Jiayou Academy were on the list. On the contrary, it was Taixue Literary Society, because in recent years, the good and the bad have been mixed.
, there were actually a group of people who missed the mark. This made Liu Ji, who claimed to be the elite society of Taixue, eager to defeat each other to prove that they were still the strongest.
However, who would have expected that the attack was not going well, and he failed to win the first formation. Liu Ji couldn't help but change his color, and was about to go on the field in person, but was stopped by a man, who smiled and said: "You can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife. Brother Dao, let the younger brother do it first."
.”
When everyone in the Taixue Wenhui saw that it was Song Tianle, the son of Song Qi, a great scholar at the time, they were overjoyed and said, "This is appropriate."
Then I saw Song Tianle gently swinging his folding fan, walking slowly to the front of the formation, and said in a cadence: "Willow threads, orioles and shuttles, weave the three spring scenes in the south of the Yangtze River."
"The words "Yun Jian Yan" came from the Jiuqiu Book of Saibei." Jia Quan answered calmly.
"The spring is fine in Huawu, and the rhyme of the birds is like a holeless flute." This compares the sound of birdsong to a holeless flute.
"At dusk in the tree garden, the sound of cicadas plays the sound of a stringless harp." Jia Dan thought about it for a while before realizing that he was comparing the sound of cicadas to the sound of a stringless harp. Naturally, he received unanimous applause from his colleagues.
"Brother Song is here to do something difficult, so as not to let them underestimate the Song family." People from the Taixue Literary Society said loudly.
At this time, all the scholars in the building were attracted to watch this fight between dragons and tigers. When Song Tianle saw that the time had come, he closed his paper fan and slowly chanted: "In the Bell and Drum Tower, the bells ring continuously all night long." Seeing this,
It may seem like a plain couplet, but it actually hides a murderous intention. Because the couplet has three simultaneous sounds: Zhong, Zhong, and Zhong, and the characters Zhong and Zhong appear twice. Please keep this in mind.
Jia Quan was covered in sweat and had to lose. With a face full of shame, he said to his brothers: "I lost..."
"It's already very good." Everyone laughed and said, "Look at your brother Zizhan."
Su Shi stood up and stood up. After arriving in Beijing, he did not reveal the mountains or the water. He stayed dormant until autumn, and then he won the title of deputy leader in one fell swoop. So at this moment, people are talking about whether this deputy leader is gone.
Good luck, you still have real talent and learning.
Obviously, Song Tianle is a touchstone for him.
"Brother Song's first couplet is: In the Bell and Drum Towers, the bells ring all night long." Su Shi smiled faintly, opened the window and said: "My younger brother's second couplet is: The Golden Examination Hall is close, and today the gold medal list is full of names."
Everyone was stunned at first, but after tasting it, they couldn't help but burst into loud cheers. Not only the people of Jiayou Academy, but also the audience, and even the people in the Taixue Literary Society, also sincerely admired Su Shi... the number one scholar.
The building is adjacent to the Imperial College. The Imperial College is the examination room for everyone's examinations. Today, all the scholars in the Zhuangyuan Building are those who have passed the examination. This way, it is natural to answer the questions, and it can also be tricky to the point of confrontation.
This Su Zizhan is absolutely extraordinary!
Song Tianle's first couplet is something he has been holding back for many years. His family background is related to his family education. He saw this first couplet from an isolated copy a few years ago. After thinking hard for several years, he still couldn't come up with the second couplet. Now I see that Su Shi is so understated.
After doing this, he suddenly blushed. Anxious to save face, Song Tianle took out another couplet from the bottom of the box and said:
"The rain brings spring and the trees are green and the sky is green."
Not only did it look ordinary this time, but no one could even guess the mystery, but everyone knew that there must be a murderous intention hidden inside.
Su Shi pondered for a moment, raised his head and said with a smile: "The wind brings the fragrance of flowers all over the ground."
"I can read the first couplet backwards." Song Tianle sneered: "The rain brings spring and the trees are green, and the sky is green. The sky is green, and the trees are green, and spring is raining!"
Everyone gasped when they heard this, this must be too vicious.
"Who said I can't read it backwards?" Su Shi smiled faintly.
"The wind brings the fragrant flowers all over the ground, and the ground is full of red fragrant flowers and brings the wind!" Someone immediately read it out for him, and the whole hall immediately cheered. This Su Shi is so powerful! It seems that he deserves to be the deputy chief executive!
"I still have the last couplet." Song Tianle said angrily: "If you can match me, I will admit defeat!"
"I'll give in, I'll give in." Su Shi said with a smile, cupping his fists.
"Don't be so arrogant, I haven't done anything wrong yet!" Song Tianle said angrily: "Listen, the yellow blacksmith on Baita Street makes a red furnace, burns black charcoal, emits green smoke, flashes blue light, tempers purple iron, sits north and faces south.
thing!"
Everyone felt dizzy again, thinking where did he come from with so many ghost pairs? They were white, yellow, red, black, blue, purple, north, south, east, west, seven colors in all directions, even gods could not match them.
"Yes." Who knew that Su Shi was even more immortal than an immortal? He just thought for a moment and said with his hands: "Yanghua Temple, golden abbot, set up an earthen altar, set up a wooden table, light fire candles, use water magic to drive away ghosts; summon
God exorcises immortals and ghosts!”
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang, white, yellow, red, black, blue, blue and purple. Fairies and ghosts, north, south, east and west!
Amidst the continuous cheers of the crowd, Song Tianle clasped his fists and said, "I understand." Then he hurriedly walked out of the crowd. It is said that he had never faced anyone again in his life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seeing that Song Tianle, who was best at making mistakes, was completely defeated in front of Su Shi, no one in the Taixue Literary Society dared to stand up anymore. Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Ji. This Jinke Xie Yuan had been famous for several years.
, has long been known as the number one talent in the Song Dynasty.
Now, in order to defend his reputation as the most talented scholar and for the honor of Taixue Literary Society, Liu Ji had to step forward. But just now, Su Zizhan's shocking triple couplet actually made him timid before fighting. He felt that
If you compete with this person, you will definitely lose miserably.
Just as he was pondering, someone from the Taixue Literary Society spoke up: "Everyone, we originally wanted to compete in this competition, but now we are putting the cart before the horse, right?"
"Yes, we are here to see which one is better, Zhengke Jieyuan or Bedou Jieyuan. Why are these unrelated people fighting?" The people in the meeting understood and sang in harmony.
"First prove that Jieyuan is better than Jiyuan." Lu Huiqing sneered: "If you can't beat Su Zizhan, what else is there to say?"
"Absurd." People from the Taixue Literary Society said flatly: "The rankings are determined by the examiners, why do we need to compare them again? Could it be that you are questioning the two chief examiners and the deputy examiners?"
Everyone can tell that people from Taixue Literary Society are vain and dare not let Liu Ji compete with Su Shi. Moreover, Liu Ji has not spoken until now, fearing that he has the same thoughts. However, no one can refute them... Although
In the Song Dynasty, students were prohibited from worshiping the chairperson, but as a successful candidate, one should be grateful to the examiner. It had just been released less than an hour ago, who can make irresponsible remarks on the ranking?
What's more, everyone really wants to see the battle between Jie Yuan and the other Jie Yuan. No matter what the psychology is, it is very attractive.
"This is bad," Zeng Bu whispered to Chen Ke: "Liu Ji's fame is not in vain, he actually has the talent of the number one scholar." This means that since they can ignore the competition with Su Shi, you can also learn from them.
Let's drop the fight with him.
Chen Ke, on the other hand, kept a straight face and remained silent. He knew his son better than his father. Chen Xiliang had long said that he seemed to be laughing and joking and indifferent, but in fact he was more competitive than anyone else. At present, people from the Taixue Literary Society avoided Su Shi.
As for Chen Ke, this in itself is contempt for him.
If you don't compete, who knows who will win or lose? Could it be that this special Jie Yuan of mine was just picked up from the ground?
Chen Ke ignored the obstruction of a brother, stood up and said: "Zizhan, please step back."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, despite the endless calls, Liu Ji and Chen Ke stood in the field. Liu Ji was thin and smaller than Chen Ke. At least in appearance, he was overwhelmed by him.
The Zhuangyuan Building became quiet. Everyone saw Liu Ji and Chen Ke chatting quietly for a few words, and then heard them announce that the two had agreed to compete in three games, with two wins out of three.
In the first round, the question was set by Jiayou Academy. After intense discussions, everyone decided to choose the one that Chen Ke is best at. Then Lu Huiqing stood up and said: "Everyone, the one that best reflects the ability of a scholar is Bo Wen Qiang Ji.
So we propose to find two books on site and ask two people to recite them. See which one can recite more and more accurately in one stick of incense."
Everyone nodded, this was indeed a good idea. But some people had objections. What if the book someone got was one he happened to have read before? For Xie Yuanlang, who is well-read, this is very possible.
"I have an idea." The person who spoke was the boss of the Zhuangyuan Building. Everyone looked at him helplessly. Why are you causing trouble for us scholars?
"Listen first, forget it if you don't win." The boss of Zhuangyuan Building chuckled and said: "There are many old account books on the lower floor, and you two must have never seen it."
"Account book?" Everyone thought it was nonsense at first, but then they thought about it and realized that it was a good idea. First of all, it must be the first time for both of them to read it, so it can ensure fairness. Moreover, the contents of the account book are messy and orderly, which is the best test for memorization skills.
Soon, two thick account books were placed in front of the two of them. The referee lit the incense stick and said, "Let's get started."
The two of them began to read page after page. The restaurant was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the only sound they could hear was the rustling of the pages.
