Daming talker

Chapter 208
Tonight Hai Rui was actually in a very angry mood. He guessed that it was Lin Tailai who caused him to be besieged by women, but on the surface, he had to admit the grace of saving his life.

After all, in the eyes of most people, it was Lin Tailai who rescued Hai Rui from danger, and even avoided damage to Hai Qingtian's reputation.

In this state of mind, Hai Rui could be forced to tolerate Lin Tailai's "imitation" of Mid-Autumn Festival poems, but he could not expect to get good reviews, especially since Lin Tailai's attitude was quite "provocative".

And Lin Tailai was unambiguous, after Hai Rui's negative comments, he came up with one after another Mid-Autumn Festival poem.

Everyone knows that Hai Rui is a paranoid person, and he is very stubborn when things happen, so he gives negative reviews time and time again.

After the negative reviews, there was a new Mid-Autumn Festival Ci. Lin Tailai and Hai Rui seemed to be competing with each other and fell into an infinite loop.

Lin Tailai has published ten Mid-Autumn Ci poems, each of which is more than a hundred characters long, which is quite time-consuming.

It was almost midnight, and it seemed that all the celebrities attending had become spectators, watching Lin Tailai throw out one after another works numbly.

This mid-autumn night gathering, I had no experience at all.

Whenever Lin Tailai asked Hai Rui "Can I do it?", the leader Wang seemed to feel that he was asking himself "Are you convinced or not?"

He regretted it, why did he let Hai Rui get on the boat, why did he keep Hai Rui as a protector, why did he stop Hai Rui when he wanted to leave.

After ten consecutive shots, Hai Rui finally gave in helplessly, and said casually, "This article is okay."

The performance of Mr. Lin, the uninvited guest, came to an end, but at this time, the gathering was already "exhausted", and everyone was not very interested.

One is because of the shocking ten consecutive Mid-Autumn Ci poems, which add up to more than 1000 characters. No matter how others behave, they will not be able to steal the limelight.

The second is that Lin Tailai's ten poems are all above the standard, all surpassing the quality of the poems prepared by others, how can others have the mood to show off.

Therefore, before the third watch, the Mid-Autumn Night Gathering ended hastily.

The next day, news came out that the leader Wang Lao fell ill.The other two scheduled literary conferences, Gatherings, were also temporarily cancelled.

So everyone knew that this literary conference was about to end without any results, and the new five sons of the retro sect sect had difficulty in giving birth again.

There is also a gossip saying that the leader of the Wang Lao League thinks that the current default five sons can't resist Lin Tailai at all, so he wants to wait for a rookie who is strong enough to appear.

After Lin Tailai passed through the Mid-Autumn Festival, he once again became famous on the Qinhuai River.

After the three major battles of Changbanqiao's resistance to the appointment of academic officials, Confucian Temple's classics debate against Gu Xiancheng, and ten thousand-character Mid-Autumn Ci poems, Lin Tailai has been known to everyone on both sides of the Qinhuai River.

Many years later, some people may not be able to remember who Xie Yuan was in this year's provincial examination, but they will definitely remember Lin Tailai, who appeared like a shooting star in the Qinhuai River.

After the Qingliu School of the Donglin School and the sects of the Fufu School died down, no one in the literary world organized large-scale activities before the release of the rankings in the township examination at the end of August, but there were still some small and big news.
For example, Ma Xianglan, the eldest sister of Xingshou in Nanqu and the number one among the twelve beauties in Jinling, successfully organized the sisters in Quzhong to gather and rebel against Hai Qingtian on Mid-Autumn Eve.

Just when Ma Xianglan's prestige in Qinhuai Old Courtyard climbed to a new height, she suddenly announced that she would retire behind closed doors and would no longer accept guests in public. It seemed that a generation of legendary courtesans had come to an end.

After Lin Tailai heard about it, he ran to Zhao Caiji's house from the Guozijian No. room where he boarded for free, and proudly said to Zhao Caiji:

"I said, I want you to be the number one among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling! Now that you have done what you say, you are already number one. How can you thank me?"

Zhao Caiji still seemed upset, "But you made Ma Xianglan the No.200 actress of the 1-year Southern Song of Ming Dynasty!"

Zhao Caiji knew that it was Lin Tailai who instigated Ma Xianglan to organize sisters to resist Hai Qingtian's confinement on Mid-Autumn Festival night, and Lin Tailai also provided a credit endorsement.

Lin Tailai replied: "As the saying goes, the times make heroes, you dare not fight, others dare to fight, what can you complain about?

Besides, she has retired, so what do you care about, you just say that you are the number one among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling now, right? "

Aunt Zhao Caiji came and drove away Lin Tailai who just wanted to be free.

Senior official Lin couldn't help sighing, "Flying birds do their best to hide their bows, but cunning rabbits are cooked to death by running dogs", and returned to the Guozijian to continue sweeping the floor.

At the beginning, he said that he made a big vow to clean for 36 days, and it has only been more than 20 days. For the sake of personal reputation, he can only continue to insist.

At the end of August, the results of the township examination were released, which had nothing to do with Lin Tailai, and he didn't bother to pay attention.

The township examination list was hung on the screen wall of the government office in Yingtianfu, and countless people from all over the city came to see the excitement.

Guozijian is in the north of the city, not too far from the government office of Yingtianfu, which is also in the north of the city.

Therefore, many scholars who did not like crowds sent their servants to watch the list, while they themselves came to the Confucius Temple of Guozijian to pray for the last time.

Naturally, Daguan Lin would not let go of this opportunity to show his presence, and earnestly swept the floor back and forth at the entrance of Dacheng Hall, trying to ensure that every scholar who came to offer incense could notice him.

Inadvertently, Lin Tailai saw two acquaintances walking outside the gate of Dacheng Hall, they were a pair of good friends Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru from Songjiang Mansion.

At this time Dong Qichang was downcast, while Chen Jiru was comforting him.

At any rate, they have done great things together, Lin Tailai asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Dong Sheng? The ranking list hasn't been released yet, right?"

Dong Qichang didn't want to speak, so Chen Jiru replied on his behalf: "Old Leader Wang suspects that he leaked the news, so he was expelled from the ancient sect."

It can only be said that this was all done by himself. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Dong Qichang voluntarily followed Lin Tailai to the shore on the same boat in order to show off, and then rescued Hai Rui.

It was a mistake for a retro rookie to act together with the biggest literary enemy!
In fact, Mr. Lin took Hai Rui away, and Dong Qichang had a great time after being overwhelmed by the Detachment of Women.

But after having fun, he regretted that this is a common problem of men. Dong Qichang looked up to the sky and sighed:
"Wandering around the flowers for more than a month, I didn't study hard, I didn't pay attention to the exam, and I was expelled from the ancient sect. I really wasted my time. It will be difficult for me to move forward in the literary world."

Chen Jiru turned his head and said encouragingly: "It happens to concentrate on studying after returning home, and take the exam in three years' time!
As long as you can win the exam, everything will not be a problem after you get the fame! "

"Let's go! We can only think this way." Dong Qichang cheered up and said.

At this time, a servant rushed over, threw himself in front of Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru and shouted: "The list is released!"

Then he quickly reported the result: "I saw Master Dong's name on the list!"

Chen Jiru asked eagerly, "What about me?"

The servant replied, "No."

This result stunned a pair of friends, unable to recover for a long time.

Chen Jiru fell down on the steps in a daze, wanting to cry in pain, the greatest pain in life is comparison!
I studied hard but failed the exam, and my friend Dong Qichang was eating, drinking, having fun and fooling around every day, so why did he pass the exam?
Dong Qichang didn't dare to celebrate now, suppressed his joy and squatted down, and said sadly to his friend: "I didn't expect this to happen."

Then he pointed to Lin Tailai, and said to Chen Jiru: "Look at Lin Sheng, his talent has been spread all over the city of Nanjing, isn't he also on the list? Is there anything else you can't think about?"

Chen Jiru subconsciously nodded, even Lin Tailai was not on the list, so what can he complain about?

Lin Tai couldn't watch it any longer, and said to Dong Qichang, "I'll write a letter to Hushuguan King's tax envoy, and on the way home, take him to Hushuguan first!

The tax envoy Wang has experience, so he must know how to comfort him! "

Martial arts student Lin Tailai doesn't understand the joys and sorrows of the liberal arts provincial examination, but he is about to usher in his own examination.

At the end of August, the rankings for the Liberal Arts Provincial Examination were released, and the Wuju Provincial Examination was held in September.

The scale of the martial arts provincial examination is much smaller than that of the liberal arts. There are only a few hundred people participating in it, and finally [-] martial arts candidates are selected.

When martial arts has reached the level of the township examination, the system is very formal, not as random and chaotic as prefectures and counties.

What people in later generations may not understand is that there is a paper test in martial arts, and the weight is very heavy.

Martial arts students participating in martial arts examinations must first examine strategies and theory, answer a strategy and write a theory based on the topic in the essay field.

The admission principle of martial arts is "deciding whether to stay or not based on strategy, and distinguishing the winners by martial arts".

It can only be said that this examination system is too fast for Lin Tailai.A person who is going to take the liberal arts exam, is still afraid of policy theory?
Although Mr. Lin is not a military professional, he has been reviewing the "Seven Books of Martial Arts" in the past few months. Later generations have experienced the influence of network information, and he still has a lot of experience in key politics.

For other martial arts students answering policy topics, it is not bad to be able to write 6000 words, but Lin Daguan wrote more than [-] words eloquently for the two questions.

With such an absolute order of magnitude gap in the writing field, if the examiner dared to eliminate Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin would dare to sue for the imperial court with his answers.

After the policy theory test, it was time for the martial arts test, which is the favorite part of Mr. Lin.

For Mr. Lin, there is no fairer exam in the world!
In the earliest days of martial arts, only infantry and horseback archery were tested in the martial arts part, which was very unfavorable for ordinary candidates like Lin Tailai.

Later, in order to expand the scope of materials collected, the martial arts test was expanded into three items, namely bow and horse, physical strength, and sword and gun.

Candidates have to choose two of the three items to participate, and only those who have won the first prize in the two items are eligible to be selected.

For Lin Tailai, of course, he directly skipped the bow and horse, and chose physical strength and swords and guns.

When autumn came and September [-]th, Mr. Lin went to the school field.

Hundreds of examinees stood under the general stage and accepted the roll call. This kind of martial arts test is not like a literary field, and there is no need to enter the field for inspection.

The examiners were all on the spotting platform, and when Mr. Lin looked up, he saw Wang Lin, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of War, who was also the chief examiner.

And beside Wang Lin is a military officer, Lin Tailai speculates that it is the Minister of Defense of Nanjing City, Li Yangong, Marquis of Linhuai, probably a role like the deputy chief examiner.

Behind the suspected Li Yangong, Minister of Martial Arts, was Li Zongcheng whom Lin Tailai had met when he first arrived in Nanjing.

At this moment, Li Zongcheng also saw Lin Tailai, and couldn't help glaring at him, but Mr. Lin didn't care at all.

It would be a big joke if you can still be blacked out by your little bastard in the martial arts exam.

Physical strength today, swords and guns tomorrow, are all events for Lin Tailai to participate in.

After the roll call, a sergeant carried two sets of stone piers to the general's platform.

The weights are all unified in the whole country, they are 250 jin, [-] jin, [-] jin, and there is another [-] jin as a decoration.

When the other martial arts students were fighting with two or three hundred catties of stones, Lin Tailai, whose name was called, stepped forward, directly chose the five hundred catties of stones, and lifted the stones between his waist and abdomen according to the prescribed movements.

Under hundreds of horrified gazes, the No. 1 physical item was easily achieved.It is unique to mention the five hundred catties of stone pier, and it will not be blacked out even if you want to black it out.

After coming out of the school grounds, Lin Tailai returned to the Imperial College without stopping.

The reason why Mr. Lin stayed at the Guozijian after the exam was approaching was to prevent off-site tricks.

Although the conditions in the Guozijian are average, it is safer than the inns and Goulan places outside.

Lin Tailai didn't know if someone was targeting him, but at least he felt more at ease living in the Imperial College.

If it wasn't for Zhao Zhigao's firm opposition, Lin Tailai would have wanted to lay a floor in the Dacheng Hall.

On the next day, it was still the same school, and the sword and gun test began.

Li Yangong, Minister of Defense of Nanjing and Marquis of Linhuai, said to Wang Lin, Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing:
"I heard that when Lin Tai came to this person, his thoughts were all in the literary world. Giving him fame in martial arts is a waste."

While he was talking, Lin Tailai, who happened to be named, held a big gun, casually swiped the gun, and then loudly reported to the commander on stage:

"So that you can learn that the marksmanship is taught by Qi Shaobao personally, and the Shenwei Lie water gun used by Qi Shaobao is also given to me as a gift!
At that time, Qi Shaobao said that if he is familiar with this set of marksmanship and can also read the seven classics of martial arts, it will not be a problem to win a Jieyuan! "

Everyone: "."

Just like yesterday, hundreds of eyes stared at Lin Tailai again.

Who said it's not easy to cheat in martial arts exams?If you self-report the origin of marksmanship like this, it is pure cheating!Those who are still on the horse publicly ask for Jieyuan!

As the chief examiner, Wang Lin said helplessly to Li Yangong: "The Ministry wants to ask the prince, how can you depose him? There is nothing black."

An examinee who can write six thousand characters in water, and can pull five hundred catties of stone piers.

An examinee who had publicly staged a martial arts performance before the exam, pierced through the north bank of the Qinhuai River from the Tixue Academy, and was unstoppable by hundreds of officers and soldiers.

To be honest, if you don't give Wu Ke Jie Yuan, you will be scolded as a big black man, how can you eliminate it?

It's not that Lin Tailai can't get in touch with the boss behind his back. If it was so easy to hack, Wang Shizhen would have done it a long time ago. How can he let him jump up to now?

If you want to work in a black box, you must also abide by the basic logic. Disregarding the influence of chaos, you must end up putting yourself in it.

After finishing the exam, Lin Tailai's biggest impression was that it would be great if the liberal arts exam could be as simple and fair as the martial arts exam.

The scale of the martial arts provincial examination is small, and there is no need to read tens of thousands of papers, and the results come out quickly.

So within two days, the list was released, and the Nanzhili Township of the undergraduate course selected [-] Chinese martial arts candidates, and Xie Yuan was Lin Tailai, a private martial arts student from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture.

In the field of literature, he is number one in strategy theory, in the field of martial arts, he is number one in physical strength, and in swords and guns, so this solution is well-deserved.

Lin Daguan turned into a Wujuren, and the title of Daguan was even more worthy of the name.

At this time, many people who had only recently heard the legend of Lin Tailai woke up like a dream.

It turns out that Suzhou Linsheng, who punches the academic Donglin school and kicks the literary retro school, came to Nanjing to take the martial arts exam!
　The end of the trip to Nanjing is coming to an end, please ask for a final monthly pass to stimulate the brewing of new plots!
