first minister

Chapter 175 The picture is poor, the real purpose!

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Xia Jingyun wanted to do.

"Tell me, is it because Shi Zixian went to Sishui Prefecture to challenge twice, so Mr. Xia also wants to challenge him twice?"

"Well, it's very possible! Otherwise, I can't explain it!"

Gradually, this guess made everyone feel very reasonable and became the opinion of most people.

"Exhaust! A tooth for a tooth, Mr. Xia is worthy of my role model!"

"That's right, if you dare to step on me twice, I'll step back exactly once! No less!"

"Am I the only one who thinks that he is a bit too narrow-minded in doing this? Scholars of my generation should put morality first, so it's not the right way to be so vengeful!"

"Yes, you are the only one, you are the chosen one, we all think he did the right thing!"

"That's right, look at your tone, your compassion, wait until I go to the White Horse Temple and ask the Bodhisattva in that temple to stand up, and you sit on it."

"You man, why are you so angry and spouting bad words? We should speak freely when we discuss. What? Is Xia Jingyun still hesitant to speak?"

Everyone started arguing as they talked, and on the other side, a group of dignitaries on the second floor were also puzzled.

On the one hand, Shi Zijun felt that Xia Jingyun was deceiving others too much, and on the other hand, he was worried that his cousin would be humiliated, so he was angry and worried;
The British public housekeeper and the others showed hesitation, their eyes seemed to want to eat Xia Jingyun;

Qin Yuwen stood by the window and smiled, "Interesting, this kid is interesting, I like it very much."

Qin Sichao stood beside him, frowning slightly, but this time he didn't agree.

In front of Xia Jingyun, the old professor also frowned, and said angrily with half truth and half falsehood: "You kid is deliberately not letting me rest, right?"

Xia Jingyun hurriedly apologized, "Please forgive me, sir, there is a reason for this. It happens that this junior also admires his talent and learning. After this matter is over, this junior wants to hold a banquet in Mingyu Tower and ask him for his advice. I hope you will give me your advice."

These words made the old professor feel at ease. Thinking of the delicious food and wine in Mingyulou, the old gentleman swallowed his saliva despite his reputation but not much wealth, "Forget it, if you spend more time with you young people, the old man will feel younger. I will accompany you one more time today."

After settling this end, Xia Jingyun looked at Shi Zixian, "Master Shi, you don't want to break the contract in front of so many people, do you?"

Shi Zixian stared at Xia Jingyun's face, trying to see clearly what he was thinking, but in the end he found nothing.

As if the previous promise was still in his ears, he had no choice but to nod like an appointment.

The old professor had already returned to sit in front of the host's stage. He first patted the wood to calm everyone down, and then glanced at both sides, "Since there was an appointment before, and you two have reached an agreement, the next thing is the second competition between you two. Do you have any objections?"

Xia Jingyun naturally shook his head. Although Shi Zixian was full of dissents, to openly break his promise would be tantamount to cutting himself off from scholars, so he could only fight on.

The old professor nodded, "In this case, according to the agreement, Shi Zixian of Guangling Prefecture will choose the competition first."

Shi Zixian looked at Xia Jingyun, turned those common chaos items in his mind, and suddenly came up with a plan in his heart, and said: "Touhu, Shuanglu, Jiuling."

"Ahem!" The old professor interrupted him immediately, "According to the rules of Smash Bros., you can only choose one of these entertainment items!"

After he finished speaking, he gave Shi Zixian a dissatisfied look. Is it really the same as the chaos that the imperial court acquiesces in, like the eating, drinking, merry-go-round and dog-fighting of you dudes?What grade!
Amidst a burst of laughter, Shi Zixian bit the bullet and selected five items.

Go, Shuanglu, long and short sentences, couplets, endorsement.

He can be regarded as a dojo in a snail shell, and he knows how to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

Although I lost in Go, it was my greatest reliance and I couldn't give up;
Shuanglu and other games have been played by myself since childhood, Xia Jingyun was born in a humble background, so he must play less and maybe win;
Long and short sentences and couplets are selected from the few items that must be selected, and the writing of poems is discarded, which is already calculated;
Endorsement refers to randomly picking a book, reading a stick of incense each, and then asking the host to randomly select passages in it for question and answer. It is a test of memory. Although Shi Zixian himself has no confidence, he is willing to bet on Xia Jingyun!
In this way, as long as the loss is not too ugly, he is not too shameful.

He stepped forward, sat on the edge of the chessboard, emptied himself, and calmed down.

In the previous round, Xia Jingyun's play was too evil, it was a move he had never seen before, this time he was prepared, be careful, he might not lose!
But full of calculations, he encountered an accident at the first step.

"Abstain from surrender?"

The old professor stared at Xia Jingyun with wide eyes, full of surprise and puzzlement.

Except for him, all the onlookers were also dumbfounded.

Xia Jingyun actually chose to abstain and admit defeat?
You proposed this competition. You beat him just now in this game of Go. Why did you abstain?
Xia Jingyun smiled nonchalantly, "I was a little tired from playing just now, let him play a round."

The old professor looked at him seriously, "Are you sure?"

Xia Jingyun nodded, "Sure."

The old professor took a deep look at this young man who always surprised him, sighed, and said loudly: "In the first round, Shi Zixian from Guangling Prefecture wins!"

This time, even the people in Guangling Prefecture did not cheer. The whole room was silent, looking at Xia Jingyun in silence.

Only Shi Zixian sneered in his heart, go crazy, I'll make you capsize in the gutter!
Nonsence!No, the boat capsized in the big river!
"Now, let's go to the second round, the competition project, Shuanglu!"

When Shi Zixian stood up confidently again, what greeted him was once again bewilderment and surprise.

The old professor felt that his brain could not accept the information from his ears, and looked at Xia Jingyun in shock, "Are you going to abstain again?"

Xia Jingyun nodded, "Can't you?"

The old professor frowned, "If you really admit defeat, you will lose two rounds in a row, and there is no way out."

Xia Jingyun shrugged, "I don't know how to do this, and I will lose if I compete."

The old professor stared at him for a long time, sighed, and said loudly: "In the second round, Shi Zixian from Guangling Prefecture wins!"

There was an uproar!

No one could understand why Xia Jingyun conceded defeat in two rounds in a row, driving himself to a corner.

"I see!"

One of the disciples suddenly said, "He is humiliating Guangling Prefecture and Mr. Shi, in order to avenge the fact that Sishui Prefecture was stepped on twice in a row! What could be more humiliating than allowing you to fight back in two rounds and win you easily!"

When everyone heard it, hey!It really is!
Thinking about it this way, even some of those who defended Xia Jingyun before felt that it was a bit too much.

When Xu Dapeng heard these discussions, he immediately quit!

"Why did it pass! We allowed others to ride on our heads to shit and piss. When we retaliated, we jumped out and said that you should be more generous and forgive others. Then when others bullied us, why didn't you come out? Fuck it, are you cheap or not?"

He didn't lower his volume, and it was clearly heard by the people around him. Everyone blushed with embarrassment, and immediately turned off their voices.

The old professor naturally heard these discussions. Although he felt that Xia Jingyun did not seem to be such a superficial person, he really couldn't see through the other party's real thoughts.

But at his age, there are not many things to care about, and there is no need to pursue the truth in everything, so he took a sip of tea and said loudly: "The third round, long and short sentences, please ask Xia Jingyun of Sishui Prefecture to write a question."

Everyone looked at Xia Jingyun, and thought to themselves: After losing two games in a row, in the third round, they won't be a monster anymore, right?

But reality surprised them once again.

Xia Jingyun said to the old professor, "Sir, I would like to ask our classmate Zeng Jimin from Sishui Prefecture to help me fight, is that okay?"

The old professor frowned, "This is not in compliance with the rules."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Zixian said in a hurry: "Sir, I agree! I agree!"

A fool would disagree!
In the matter of composing poems and long and short sentences, as long as he doesn't match up with Xia Jingyun, his odds of winning will be much higher!

As for what Xia Jingyun's plan is, whoever begs him, as long as he can win!
He can't care less now.

Zeng Jimin, who had communicated with Xia Jingyun in advance, was a little hesitant at the end of the day, looking at Xia Jingyun, "Brother Gao Yang, can I do it?"

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, "Don't worry, don't you want to get back the place! Just let go and do it, I'm here for everything!"

Zeng Jimin thought for a while, nodded heavily, and came to the field.

"What is this Xia Jingyun going to do? Isn't this just messing around? What do you think everyone is doing? Are you messing around with him?"

Cheng Jiaoyu from Yunmengzhou muttered softly, and Bai Yun turned his head to look at him, "Cheng Jiaoyu, keep your voice down, or I'm afraid your face will hurt when the truth is revealed."

Cheng Jiaoyu's expression changed, "You mean he has another purpose?"

Bai Yunbian hummed, "He is definitely not a reckless person."

In the room on the second floor, Shi Zijun frowned as he watched the progress downstairs.

What exactly is Xia Jingyun going to do!
In the next field, Zeng Jimin has already started to ask a question, "Please use friendship as the theme and write a long and short sentence."

He pondered for a moment, wrote his own work on the paper, and then took the lead in reciting it out.

"Fill up the green wine to stay with you. Don't go back in a hurry. Three parts of spring, two parts of sorrow, and one part of wind and rain.

When the flowers bloom and wither, how many come.And sing aloud to sue.I don't know where we will meet again when the peony is next year. "

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and couldn't help feeling somewhat impressed by Zeng Jimin.

Although it is not as amazing as Xia Jingyun's poetic talent, it is definitely not a mediocre work!

The old professor also looked at the paper Zeng Jimin handed in, three parts of spring, two parts of sadness, and part of wind and rain.

Not bad, good sentence.

This person is also quite talented and learned. If he fails, he can also be abducted to the Imperial College.

He opened an hourglass and started counting the time, "Within a stick of incense, Shi Zixian from Guangling Prefecture please answer!"

Shi Zixian looked at the empty paper in front of him, his head was as big as a bucket, and his mind was a mess.

On the second floor, when Shi Zijun saw this scene, a flash of light flashed in his mind, his face changed, "Not good! That's bad!"

He stood up abruptly, opened the door, and ran out in a hurry.

"Hey, isn't that the little stone from the Minister of Rites?"

Qin Yuwen happened to be by the window, saw Shi Zijun running away, and opened his mouth in surprise.

Qin Sichao looked at his back, frowning still.

He didn't care too much about this chaos, that is, when things got serious, he was a little interested. Let's see how Xia Jingyun, who had met once before, behaved.

Therefore, with too little information, he didn't think of anything deeper for a while.

Regardless of the movement upstairs, Shi Zixian downstairs managed to hold back a long and short sentence before the hourglass finished.

Transcribed it on paper, handed it to the old professor, and then read it to everyone.

"Green in deep spring and green clothes. Close to the house, swaying egrets fly. Self-satisfied. People who travel north and south are old and friends are few. The fishing boat returns in the afterglow of the setting sun. The mandarin fish is fat."

After everyone listened, they nodded slightly at first, but before nodding twice, they were stunned with strange expressions, and immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

This...why is this wrong with even the most basic level rhyme?
Not so much, a few days ago, Shi Zixian singled out all the states, and his poetry writing level was at the top level?

Shi Zixian originally praised him secretly for his quick wit, but suddenly found that the expressions of the people around him became strange.

This matter is a paradox. If a person knows that composing poetry should pay attention to parallelism and rhyme, then he will definitely do the most basic thing well first.

But if he didn't know, then naturally he wouldn't pay attention to this.

This also means that if a person writes poems or long and short sentences without even handling the rhyme and rhyme well, then he must not know how to compose poems and lyrics.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
At this moment, Xia Jingyun walked out slowly clapping, with a slight smile on his face and emotion in his words.

"It turns out that this is Mr. Shi's real ability to rely on his own poetry and prose. I admire it. I really admire it!"

This Xia Jingyun really took the opportunity to ridicule!
Everyone laughed lightly, and suddenly the smile froze, no!

What he said is, really rely on your own poetry level?

Does it mean that Shi Zixian didn't write all his poems by himself?
All the teachings and candidates, especially those who had been defeated by Shi Zixian brought people to the door to challenge, suddenly changed their expressions, and stared at Shi Zixian menacingly!
