Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 73 Competition of Geniuses

"The saint Yu Tang was benevolent, wise and virtuous, and he was chaste and wonderful, showing splendor and honor.

The virtuous ministers are only the saints and the emperor of England, and their moral integrity is floating in Jiangxiang. "

...

"The Xiangjiang River floats away from Pi Lun, and the emperor is paired with a sage and a virtuous minister.

Zhang Rong pays great attention to Hua and shows his wonderful chastity, and Yu Sheng of Tang Dynasty shows his wisdom and benevolence. "

...

"The relationship is separated and floating in Jiangxiang. The wise ministers are the holy match for the emperor.

Zhenmiao shows splendor and honors, benevolence, wisdom and virtue are the saints of Yutang. "

After Lin and Huang were eliminated, the pace of the remaining three people suddenly accelerated, and the competition became fierce.

They are all people with excellent memories and quick thinking.

Often when one person says a new poem, the remaining two can extend it, and it will never repeat the previous one, just like a cheat.

You sing one song and I sing one song, and the three of them do not give in to each other, increasing the number of poetry interpretations to a level that is astounding.

Three thousand songs, four thousand songs, five thousand songs!
Slowly, nearly a thousand people in Yueyang Tower became silent, and only the voices of Jia Qiong and three others echoed between heaven and earth.

By the end, the three of them had talked too much, their voices had become a little hoarse, and their speed had obviously slowed down.

However, Jia Qiong has better physical strength than the other two, so he seems more calm.

From the rising sun to the peak of the sky, it was not until more than 5000 poems later that this jaw-dropping competition finally came to an end.

Han Wei couldn't bear it anymore and quit first. He raised his voice hoarsely, raised his hands and said, "Two talented people, Han Kou has admitted defeat in this round."

Jiang Wuji glanced at Jia Qiong, sighed and said, "Brother Jia is very capable, but I am not as good as me. I will admit defeat in this game."

Jia Qiong didn't know whether the two gave up because they couldn't think of new poems or because their bodies couldn't hold on.

He solemnly held up his hands and said: "Today's narrow victory was a fluke, so you two don't have to worry about it.

Brother Han and Brother Jiang are great talents, and Jia Qiong admires them greatly. "

The three of them saluted each other, feeling like heroes cherishing each other, and then each walked off the stage.

At this time, the crowd who reacted burst into loud cheers, instantly startling a group of gulls and herons by the Dongting Lake.

When Jia Qiong stepped down from the stage, all his classmates came to greet him. They held a warm celebration in front of their seats in Wuyi Academy, which made the Wuyi students half angry to death, and then they came back and sat down contentedly.

Wansong Academy received a total of [-] awards in the second round, far exceeding the other five major academies.

The students from Wuyi Academy were full of confidence before the competition, but in the end they only got two points. Now they were all like eggplants beaten by frost.

At the guest of honor table in Yueyang Tower, everyone was congratulating Shen Yan.

Li Wenying, a scholar in Hunan Province, sighed: "Mr. Hengfeng, Mr. Changqin, your two disciples are truly extraordinary and talented.

I know Han Wei's ability very well. He would never think twice in Hunan Province, but I didn't expect that he would only get third place in this game. "

Zhou Zhidao said: "There is nothing wrong with this. It just makes him understand what it means that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the world."

Shen Yan said modestly: "Jiang Wuji and Han Wei are as talented as Jia Qiong. He just won by luck this time."

Liu Ji, the headmaster of Bailudong Academy, said with a smile: "Mr. Hengfeng is so humble. No one in the world knows the talent of the little poet.

With Jiang Wuji's arrogant temperament, when he learned that Jia Qiong was going to attend a literary conference a few days ago, he also said that he couldn't compete with him in poetry and could only rely on the cleverness of his words to win.

Now that Wansong Academy has been far ahead in the first two rounds, who can beat Jia Qiong in the third round of poetry and lyrics?

It seems that this year's leader is already in Wansong Academy's possession. "

The headmaster of Yueyang Academy smiled and said: "Haha, it's just right. I have never seen the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou. I will go to the West Lake to visit three years later."

Tong Xiaozhen, a professor at Yingtian Academy, said: “Hey, it’s too early to say the outcome at this time.

Let’s read on first. This year’s art fair is much more exciting than in previous years. "

Former Chaoge Lao Hu Yan said: "That's it. No matter who wins the title today, this literary meeting will definitely go down in history."

"What Hu Lao said is right. Today, Jia Qiong and the three of them solved the Xuanji Picture together, and they will definitely leave their mark in history." Feng Shi, the chief envoy of Hunan Province.

While everyone was marveling at the effort, the host had already counted the number.

He announced excitedly: "Today I solved the Xuanji Picture and won a total of 720 poems.

It is a feat that has never been done before, and we are truly lucky to be able to witness it with our own eyes! "

The competition just now was really exciting. The three students also spent a lot of effort and wanted to take a break.

Everyone just took a break and filled their stomachs before starting the third game later. "

The literary meeting lasted for most of the day, and the students and guests were all hungry. The handyman quickly brought food to everyone, and everyone took advantage of the break to fill their stomachs.

During this period, the handymen erected a large wooden shelf on a high platform with many wooden signs hanging on it.

After everyone had eaten, drank and rested, the host came on stage again.

"Everyone, let me tell you the rules for the final competition.

These wooden plaques contain a total of 120 words including rivers, lakes and seas, mountains, sun and moon, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, spring, summer, autumn and winter, chants of sadness, joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

Students participating in the competition have to turn over two wooden cards and combine them to form the poem they want to write.

For example, if you win the lottery of mountains and spring, it is very simple, as long as there are words describing spring mountains in the poem.

If you are hit by a mountain and injured, it will be more difficult. You have to write a sad poem with the mountain as the title.

It would be the most difficult to draw two function words like anger and happiness.

In this round, there is no limit to the number of players from each academy who can play.

But those who come on stage will have to draw questions again, and the time will decrease in sequence. You can see the dripping water next to it. When you go on stage to compose poems, the servants will add water to it.

It takes about half a cup of tea to drain out a cup of water. The first person in each academy has six cups of water, the second person has five cups of water, the third person only has four cups of water, and so on.

Please note that only the poem of the last person can participate in the final ranking.

If the last person to appear does not write a poem, it will be considered as a blank paper.

At the end of each round, the 72 guests in Yueyang Tower will vote, and I will announce the temporary rankings based on the voting results.

At the end of the day, the academy ranked first got 15 chips, No. 210 chips, No. 35 chips, and the bottom three couldn't get any chips.

Do you understand? "

"clear."

"Okay, let's discuss it and see who you send in the first round."

The rules of the final round are more complicated, but to put it bluntly, it's just about weighing the pros and cons.

The students here are all smart people, so they understood it immediately.

There are many variables under this rule. For example, someone who is particularly good at poetry may not perform well in difficult questions.

The order of playing is also crucial. How much time is most appropriate to allocate to whom? Everyone is discussing carefully.
