The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 37 Tanabata Festival

The next day Maoshi just arrived, and it was just dawn, Xiao Wu opened her eyes, moved her body a little, and Yang Tong beside her immediately opened her eyes.

"It's still early, it's not yet dawn, you go to sleep!" She covered her husband's eyes with a small hand.

"I've had enough sleep..."

Xiao Wu looked at him, and gently nodded her husband, "You haven't closed your eyes all night, don't try to lie to me."

"How do you know?" Yang Tong asked curiously.

"I feel that you are not asleep, what are you thinking?"

Yang Tong showed a smile and tightened his arms, "It's nothing! I'm a martial arts learner, and I'll wake up automatically when the time comes..."

Xiao Wu just looked at him quietly, Yang Tong knew he couldn't hide his love from his wife, and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about one thing, and when I think about it, it will be dawn."

Xiao Wu sat up from the bed, pretending to be annoyed: "Could it be that you are not as interested in me as those boring melodies? You keep torturing yourself like this, how can your body bear it? It's okay to be young now, what to do when you are old?"

Yang Tong: "It's okay, am I fine?"

Xiao Wu's eyes were red and red, she couldn't bear to blame him, and finally gave him a reproachful look, writhing in her arms: "Oh, let me get up."

"What's the rush?"

Xiao Wu washed up briefly: "Today is the Qiqiao Festival..."

"Tanabat?"

"Ah."

"What are you going to do?" Yang Tong tenderly stared at his fiery wife.

"I want to use a washbasin to catch the dew. It is said that today's dew is the tears of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meeting. If you wipe it on your eyes and hands, it will make people's eyes sharp! You have to review the memorials every night, and your eyes are bloodshot every day. I want more Take some."

Xiao Wu looked at her husband's thin face, her heart was filled with soreness, she stretched out her hand to support his face, neither of them spoke, for a long time, Yang Tong felt that the atmosphere was not right, "I was born to work hard, which caused you to marry I haven't had a good day for so long."

Pea-sized tears slipped down unexpectedly,
"What's the matter, what's the matter? My little boy!" Yang Tong panicked.

"You've lost weight again..." Xiao Wu lowered her head and wiped away her tears, but she shed more tears, "I also know that Da Sui's world is not as good as before, I just hope you don't work too hard..."

Yang Tong felt the pity in his wife's heart, and his heart suddenly warmed up, "It's normal to work hard at the stage of starting a business, and it will be fine after a year or two!"

Seeing that she felt distressed, she said with a playful smile, "I'm not thin, but strong? Say it yourself, am I getting more and more powerful, huh?"

After all, after such a long relationship, how could Xiao Wu not understand him?
Sure enough, she wiped away her tears and spat out with a blushing face: "Bah, nasty...!"

Yang Tong laughed. Looking at the moon falling in the west outside the window, he remembered an ever-popular swan song: "May I send you a poem, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Wu's tone was sweet and coquettish, her eyes were full of anticipation, her husband never showed his true nature, but his sudden burst of literary talent moved the world.

It's called nothing, it's a blockbuster!
"The slender clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man travels secretly. Once the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world.

The tenderness is like water, the good times are like a dream, and I will bear to return to the magpie bridge!If the two feelings last for a long time, how can they be in the same day and night! "

"When the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they will win, but there are countless in the world... If the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the same day and night..."

Xiao Wu said to herself, she was completely immersed in the infinite artistic conception of this poem, the resentment of tenderness like water and wedding like a dream made her intoxicated, she had already forgotten to meet the morning glow.

After a long time, she sighed and looked at Yang Tong tenderly, as if she wanted to melt her husband's heart like stone with her water-like glances.

"Husband, did you do this?"

"Uh..." Yang Tong wanted to say no, but he remembered clearly that Qin Guan was from the Song Dynasty, and it is only during the Sui Dynasty. The first word is called "Magpie Bridge Immortal"!"

"Magpie Bridge Immortal!" Xiao Wu said in a low voice, "What a beautiful name, but the poetic flavor is even better!" She is very knowledgeable, and she already knows the artistic conception of "Magpie Bridge Immortal".Her husband used this poem to tell her that although the husband and wife get together less often, but "if the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night?"
……

Zhuojun, the sun is shining brightly, sweeping away the haze that has covered more than a month, and the blue sky is thousands of miles. Today is a good day suitable for travel. Zhuojun is shrouded in a sea of ​​jubilation.

There are so many people in front of the official wall of Linshuo Palace Square that you can't see the end at a glance. Today is the fourth day when candidates' articles are posted, and it is very lively...

The accents from all over the world gather in one place, but they are incomparably harmonious. Looking at this scene, which is like a sea of ​​rivers converging, one can't help but feel admiration and awe in one's heart. From the prosperity of this culture, one can get a glimpse of the prosperity of a country.

Although Zhuojun is one of the most prosperous cities in the north, this is the first time that such a prosperous scene has appeared.

At this time, there were densely packed manuscripts posted on the official wall. These articles were hurriedly copied by the officials. They did not write the candidates’ names, but only numbers. They were posted in four sections: poems, articles, political comments, and education. There was a box in front of each article. , If the viewer likes a manuscript, they can put the special small iron plate issued by the guards into it to show their support.

The eye-catching notice on the side reads: Everyone likes different styles and styles of writing, and reviewers often choose the kind of articles they like, causing some beautiful articles to be buried.Based on the principle of fairness, the right to review manuscripts is hereby given to thousands of scholars, please vote for No.1 in your heart!
Scholars were very surprised by this novel way of reviewing manuscripts, but the content on the notice spoke to everyone’s heart. In the past, it was tasted by a few great scholars or officials. As for what the hell content No. 1 wrote, No one knows.But now, regardless of whether the article is good or bad, it is difficult for the chief judge to cheat, because whether it is a good article or a bad article is displayed, if the poorly written article is rated as the first, who will be convinced?
At this time, an official came in a hurry and posted the newly arrived works on each column.

The onlookers immediately talked about it!
"Four days have passed for canvassing votes, and only the last day is left! Even a good article is too late."

"It probably came from a long way."

"That's right! Each person has seven votes, one for each category. Up to now, they have almost voted. If you get a good article, you won't be able to catch up."

"Not necessarily!" One person objected, saying: "This time, hundreds of adults in Jizhou have carefully selected good articles from many works, and the works of more people are not eligible for the list. Those who fail the list and more spectators The ballots are not in a hurry to cast out. If it is a good article, it may not be impossible to turn back and come first."

"Let's see the content before we talk!"

Soon!

The official first posted "Magpie Bridge Immortal" on the poetry column, then "The Story of Furong Tower" on the article column, "A Fang Gong Fu" on the political column, "Snake Catcher Talk" on the people's livelihood column, and finally " "Teacher said" posted on the education column.

One poem and four essays moved many scholars
"It's a good one, if the two loves last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening"!"

"It's a good saying 'worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joy later' is really a famous saying for governing the world." Someone greatly praised: "If all the officials of our Great Sui Dynasty take this as a warning, our Great Sui Dynasty will definitely be even more prosperous. rich and strong."

"'Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms, the Six Kingdoms, are not Qin. Those who belong to Qin, Qin, are not the world'! It is thought-provoking!"

"What a snake catcher said! This person must be a generation of celebrities who are not afraid of power, even dare to say 'tyranny is fiercer than a tiger'."

"'There is a priority in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in art' is also extraordinary, comparable to Master Li's 'Threesomes, there must be my teacher'!"

"The four articles are straightforward and have a similar style of writing. Could it be written by the same person?"

"Ah! Yes!"

"The talent is as fierce as a tiger, and this person's talent should be like a tiger to rule the roost."

There is a lot of discussion!

in the crowd!
Yang Yu blushed and said to Wei Fengwu, who was full of satisfaction, pride, arrogance and complacency, "Look at how you look."

In ancient times, King You of Zhou played with the princes in Fenghuo, but now King Qin laughs at the beauties and angrily plagiarizes.

Wei Fengwu wrinkled her nose and snorted softly, snatched the ticket from Yang Tong's hand, then stretched out her white hand to Luo Shixin, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, and Luo Shixin quickly gave the ticket to the princess.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the concubine princess voted three votes for "Poetry" for "Magpie Bridge Immortal", and then voted for four articles one by one to show her support for her husband.

Yang Tong smiled wryly to himself: "This pirated poet is really a magic tool for picking up girls, even Xiao Wu can't escape the vulgarity."

Today is Qixi Festival, he said that today he belongs to Wei Fengwu, this girl got up together, forced him to publish "Magpie Bridge Immortal", and then forced him to write articles, "A Fang Gong Fu", "Shi Shuo" also It's easy to say, directly plagiarized, and "Snake Catcher Talk" has not been changed much.And "Furong Tower" adapted from "Yueyang Tower" really made me rack my brains, and a lot of brain cells died.

He plagiarized these four articles, of course there is a reason for Wei Fengwu, the most important thing is that there are too many children from aristocratic families who came to slap their faces. , There are many more good writers!

After these people win the championship, they will definitely walk away!

As a result, "Horse Talk" for poor scholars will become a laughing stock. At that time, they will preach: You, Yang Tong, advocated that poor scholars are horses that can cover a thousand li, and that aristocratic family members are hypocritical villains who don't know how to use horses. The articles by the children of the aristocratic families are placed first, which is enough to prove that poor scholars are not useful.

Of course, the articles written by the children of these aristocratic families are very likely to be ghostwritten by the gunman, but as long as the gunman does not come forward to identify them, who can prove that they were not written by him?It's just that Yang Tong is not good at dealing with them, so he has ways to deal with them.
