This Li Zijin not only appeared here, but also became one of the representatives of the Dahua Mission and was appointed by the imperial court.
It can be seen that the talented people here are dissatisfied with this decision.
Although Li Zijin is of royal blood, what talent can a young prince have? Forcibly joining the mission can only lower the level of the mission.
But the matter has been settled. Even though it is a private activity, if the court wants to intervene, no one dares to say no.
After the introduction, Xia Shang and Lin Qingzhu sat next to Ke Xiaofeng.
No one said anything, but they were thinking in their hearts.
Those literati outside are just soy sauce people, so don’t think too much about it.
But the people here are different.
Now that I have come to Donglin Xiaoju, I want to become a representative of the Dahua Mission.
But there are more than ten people here, and one seat has been taken by Li Zijin, which means there are only four seats left.
As the initiator of this event, Mo Bai is very likely to occupy a seat.
Mr. Ouyang from outside is here, and Ouyang Wenxiu is his grandson. According to Mr. Ouyang's reputation, there is no way he can arrange a seat for Ouyang Wenxiu.
Among the women, Ke Xiaofeng, who has the title of Fairy Ke, is the strongest. If she wants to participate, she will definitely be able to win a place.
Everyone thought that the probability of them joining the Dahua Mission was very low.
The imperial court attaches great importance to this matter. As long as he can represent Dahua, he will surely become a famous figure in the literary world of Dahua. No one will give up this opportunity easily.
Therefore, everyone here has their own thoughts and the atmosphere is a bit depressing.
Everyone sat in silence for a while, and Bai Song, the Bai brother, murmured: "Although the matter cannot be decided until Mr. Ouyang arrives, our time is tight and we must hurry up and decide on the five candidates for the Dahua Mission. Brother Mo Bai,
You are the one who presided over this matter. Mr. Ouyang also said that the candidates will be selected by ourselves. At this time, I will give you an answer quickly. If I, Bai Song, are not among the quota, it is best to leave early to avoid affecting everyone.
"
"What Brother Bai said is absolutely true!" Mr. Chang Xin reconsidered.
Everyone's eyes fell on Mo Bai.
Mo Bai said: "I just gathered all the talents who are still in the capital together, but I have not thought about who will make up the five-person team representing Dahua. It's better to do it now.
Please recommend it to everyone first.”
"His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, there is no need to say more. Mr. Mo Bai has been working on this matter for many days, so he must have a seat. Furthermore, there is Fairy Ke. Her poetry is unparalleled in the world, and she is a woman. She happens to be in Wenhui
There should also be a place for the literature that showcases the women of China. There is also Mr. Ouyang outside. When Nan Sheng comes, there must be a place for the Ouyang family. There is only one seat left. I, Ji Fuyuan, recommend myself without shame.
!”
"Mr. Ji, you are really shameless in your words! You actually recommended yourself?" Yang Shang said with a smile.
"What? Young Master Yang means that I am not worthy?"
"Although Ji Gongzi's calligraphy and painting are of their own, they belong to a side sect. If they are not appreciated by the Japanese people in the cultural gathering, wouldn't it be an unjust defeat? I heard that Japanese chess is very popular, so there will definitely be a test of chess skills during the competition. Even so,
Looking at everyone here, who can beat me in chess? So this last seat must be for me, Yang Shang."
Bai interrupted: "Mr. Yang Shang's chess ability is impeccable, but judging from the situation of the cultural conference, this time the competition is mainly about all-rounders, not just chess skills. Mr. Yang has an advantage in chess skills, but in other aspects
Isn’t it much inferior to everyone here in terms of performance?”
"This..." Yang Shang frowned, not knowing how to answer.
Ji Fuyuan also smiled and said: "Exactly, given Mr. Yang's chess skills, he should practice hard with us in the next two days and help us improve our chess skills as much as possible. This position of sparring partner belongs to Mr. Yang.
Oh...hahaha..."
"you!"
"Everyone, please stop arguing." Ke Xiaofeng interrupted in a low voice, "This time we gather together for the reputation of the Chinese literary world, and this is not the time to care about personal gains and losses. According to the competition method passed down by the literary society, it is indeed a competition between all parties.
Ability. Mr. Yang is good at chess, but lacking in other aspects, so he is really not suitable as one of the representatives."
Yang Shang was a little angry, but since this was what Fairy Ke said, he could only remain silent.
Ke Xiaofeng continued: "Not only Mr. Yang, but also the little girl. She is only proficient in poetry, but not good at singing, dancing, calligraphy and painting, and she cannot be one of the representatives of the mission."
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Fairy Ke to quit on her own initiative!
Mo Bai also quickly asked: "Xianzi Ke, why is this? With Xianzi Ke's talents, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing are only slightly inferior to his own poetry, so what is it that he is not good at?"
"This matter is of great importance. Naturally, we have to choose the five strongest among us. In terms of all-round talents, the little girl thinks she cannot be among the top five."
This is the truth. After hearing this, everyone admired Fairy Ke very much. Being able to say such words by himself means that his cultivation is worthy of the respect of the outside world.
Mo Bai nodded: "Since the fairy has already made a decision, we have to respect it. Now that we have said it all, I would like to say something in advance. I, Mo Bai, will not participate in this delegation, but I will be more happy to serve you all.
Do some behind-the-scenes work in front of the saddle and behind the horse."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked again.
The girl who picked up the sound couldn't help but stood up and asked: "Mr. Mo, how can you quit? In terms of all-round talent, you can definitely be in the top five, and you are running all the way at this time, how can you quit?"
"Don't be surprised. This is a decision I have thought about for a long time. There are too few seats for five people. It would be inappropriate for me to occupy a seat as an organizer, and it would not be good if word spread. In order to avoid suspicion, I still
It’s better not to occupy a seat. On the one hand, it’s for the sake of your own reputation, and on the other hand, it can give you more opportunities. Get the best of both worlds, why not? Besides, everyone here is a first-rate talent in Dahua, who
It doesn’t make much difference who is superior, so why are those Japanese people the opponents of everyone here?”
This reason sounds a bit inappropriate, but everyone is happy with it.
Fairy Ke and Mr. Mo both quit on their own initiative, so there were only two more seats available, and the chances for others were much greater.
Bai Song thought in a dignified manner: "I heard Mr. Mo say it, and it makes sense."
Mo Bai smiled and said: "Okay, you don't have to be shy. If you want to participate, just recommend yourself like Mr. Ji. If there are more people, we will compete fairly and fairly."
"Okay! Then I, Bai Song, will also volunteer for a seat!"
"Since the little girl Xianyin is here, she wants a seat."
"You said that I only know how to play chess, but I, Yang Shang, don't accept it. You can let me be your sparring partner, but you have to compete with me and convince me."
Now that the atmosphere is rising, everyone recommends themselves.
Ke Xiaofeng gave Lin Qingzhu and Xia Shang a look and asked them to sign up quickly.
Lin Qingzhu took a few steps forward and was about to say that she wanted to participate, but Xia Shang covered her mouth.
Xia Shang moved a little louder, everyone watched, and the place suddenly became quiet.
