Gu Huaiyuan made up his mind and took the initiative to say: "In half a month, it will be your birthday. Your mother has always been thinking about you. Please go back to your hometown for your birthday this year!"
Gu Shanchang did not turn around: "The competition is about to begin. As a judge, Gu Shanzhang, it is best to concentrate on it."
Gu Huaiyuan: "..."
Gu Huaiyuan hit the wall one after another and had to shut up.
After the academy competition, Gu Qing was asked to go to Lianchi Academy in person. Gu Xianzhi loved this nephew the most and would not have the heart to ignore Gu Qing's request.
Gu Shanchang seemed to have a glimpse of Gu Huaiyuan's thoughts and said calmly: "Even if Ah Qing comes, I won't go back. Don't bother."
Gu Huaiyuan finally became angry and glared at Gu Shanchang. Before he could say anything, he heard an exclamation from behind: "The Emperor and the Queen are here!"
…
The emperor and empress arrived together, and everyone stood up to greet them.
Gu Huaiyuan stopped talking angrily and stood up together with everyone else.
No one dared to speak, no one dared to raise his head.
There was a lot of discussion and noise a moment ago, but at this moment it was completely silent and extremely quiet.
The first ones who came in were the imperial guards wearing armor and holding sharp swords. One hundred imperial guards were divided into two columns and lined up neatly on both sides. They stared at everyone with eager eyes.
Anyone who moves abnormally can be regarded as peeping at Tianyan, or even suspected of assassination. Therefore, at this time, let alone moving around, it is absolutely forbidden to look up. Everyone subconsciously holds their breath.
These are just the guards who came in. There are hundreds of other guards scattered throughout Songzhu Academy, on alert.
There are also imperial guards patrolling the streets outside Songzhu Academy.
In silence, Emperor Jianwen and Queen Yu stepped in.
Emperor Jianwen was heroic and unrestrained, Empress Yu was dignified and bright, and the emperor and the empress came side by side, their grace is stunning.
It's a pity that no one dares to look up at such a charming person.
It wasn't until Emperor Jianwen and Empress Yu took their seats that Chief Meng Shan said: "Please take your seats."
Everyone then secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. Those who were brave opened their eyes and looked at the front row, and all they saw were heads.
Since the academy competition was held in Songzhu Academy, President Meng Shan presided over the competition without hesitation.
Meng Shanchang is over fifty this year. He once served as an official in the court and was trusted by Emperor Jianwen. He was appointed as the mountain chief of Songzhu Academy a few years ago. In terms of talent and learning, Meng Shanchang, who was born in two imperial examinations, can be said to be erudite and versatile...
He is only slightly inferior to Gu Shanchang.
Speaking of which, this is another old grudge.
When Meng Shanchang first became the headmaster of Songzhu Academy, he had some contempt for Gu Shanchang, who was a woman, and this was clearly evident in his words. Gu Shanchang didn't talk much, so he set up a meeting to compete with Meng Shanchang.
one time.
The results speak for themselves.
Gu Shanchang won!
Meng Shan was so embarrassed and angry that he was teased for a long time. Don't think that men are broad-minded. In fact, narrow-minded men remember revenge better than women.
At this point, Meng Shanchang and Gu Shanchang were finally settled.
Songzhu Academy competed for first place every year, and Master Meng saved his lost face and held his head high again. Master Gu had previously promised to fight for the first place, but Master Meng sneered in his heart. He made the bet without hesitation.
Lianchi Academy wants to take first place? Haha, it’s just a daydream!
Gu Xianzhi, just wait until you lose and be mercilessly humiliated by me, then come back to Songzhu Academy to become a master!
…
Thinking back to the scene of the proud Gu Xianzhi bowing his head, Meng Shanchang felt happy in his heart, but without revealing anything on his face, he said loudly: "...Today is the literary meeting of the six major academies. The so-called academy competition is to test the teaching of the academies.
, but also to allow students to show their talents..."
Meng Shan is not young, but his voice is quite loud and full of energy.
Commander Gu Shan slightly curled his lips and said in a low voice to Queen Yu on the right: "I keep saying the same thing every year. It seems that I am getting older and I am afraid that I can't remember the words, so I just keep saying them year after year."
Queen Yu couldn't stop laughing and whispered: "Don't be too mean."
Gu Shanchang snorted softly.
A few years ago, Mr. Meng Shan made a lot of nonsense, saying that "women should get married and have children," and behind her back, he also called her an "old aunt no one wants," a "perverse temperament," and so on.
How could she bear it after hearing this?
Even if she set up a wedding party and invited the emperor and empress to attend, in front of Emperor Jianwen, she used her talents to severely humiliate and trample Meng Shan's dignity as a man!
It's a shame that Lotus Pond Academy has always been ranked lower than Songzhu Academy in the academy competition. It's really annoying to see Meng Shan's smug old face every year.
Queen Yu knew Shanchang Gu very well and whispered with a smile: "I hope they can win face for you and me this time!"
Gu Shan raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly. Although he didn't say anything, the pride and confidence in his smile was clearly evident.
Queen Yu smiled slightly and patted the back of Gu Shanchang's hand.
…
After Meng Shan's "long-winded nonsense", the academy competition officially began.
The number of books on etiquette and music shoots the emperor! Etiquette ranks first, and it is also the first item in the academy competition.
A total of eighteen people from the six major academies participated in the etiquette competition, and they entered the spacious stage one after another.
Students from Songzhu Academy wear sky blue Confucian robes, students from Boyu Academy wear sky blue Confucian robes, and students from Derun Cihu New Confucian School wear azure, light gray, and dark green.
The pink skirt of Lianchi Academy looks particularly fresh and delicate in the blue and green. The three pretty faces also attracted everyone's attention.
"Look, our Sister Han is standing on the stage." Mrs. Xiao's smile was full of pride: "Sister Han has been learning etiquette since she was a child. After entering Lianchi Academy, she has always been outstanding in etiquette courses. Only then
We dare not say whether we are selected into the competition list. We dare not say anything about it. However, the top three should be no problem..."
Mu Wanting's mother was a little more reserved and was chatting in a low voice with the ladies around her: "We didn't expect Wanting to participate in the etiquette competition. We just hope that she will be steady and don't be nervous and make mistakes. Where will she be?"
In fact, it doesn’t matter, we are all proud of her. Of course, it would be even better if she can be in the top three..."
Where the officials were sitting, Xie Jun, the minister of Honglu Temple, who was famous for his handsome appearance, was listening to the compliments of his colleagues around him with a happy face: "Just looking at the appearance, Miss Xie San is definitely the first."
Isn't it?
Xie Mingxi stood with a smile, looking calm and graceful under the gaze of everyone. She was like a pearl that had been swept away from all the dust and shined brightly in front of everyone.
Even a blind man can see how outstanding his daughter is!
Xie Jun straightened his chest and smiled reservedly.
What does etiquette compare to?
It’s all about style!
Everyone learns etiquette, and the students selected for the etiquette competition are all familiar with all kinds of etiquette and can never make mistakes. If you want to compete, you have to see who is better in appearance, bearing and demeanor!
