After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 117 It would be great if Shen Luozhi could come to the academy
On the last day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Lu Wanzhi took Lu Yunxuan and Zhao Heng back to Lu Garden first.

As soon as he entered Lu Garden, the concierge delivered two letters to Lu Wanzhi and said, "Miss Lu, here are two letters, and one is from the Mei family."

Lu Yunxuan at the side saw the name on the letter, and smiled lightly: "It's a letter from my fifth cousin. When I was in Jiangnan, I told my fifth cousin that my sister was here, and he said he wanted to see you. Now I am writing to you, is my fifth cousin coming to Chang'an?"

Zhao Heng listened to his cousin, so he pricked up his ears and asked, "Sister, are our five cousins ​​married?"

Lu Yunxuan smiled and said, "No."

Zhao Heng leaned forward and looked at the letter in Lu Wanzhi's hand, "Cousin Wanzhi, seeing a letter is like meeting..."

Lu Wanzhi glared at Zhao Heng and said, "Don't look at evil, can others read their letters at will?"

Zhao Heng said: "The cousin in the storybook is the worst, so he knows how to spoil his cousin. Let me see if he wants to spoil you?"

Lu Wanzhi simply read the other letter.

Seeing the name on the letter above, Lu Yunxuan said: "It's Brother Pei Qin. When I was in Jiangnan, I also told Brother Pei Qin about you, sister, and he kept saying that he wanted to come see you!"

"Pei Qin? I know this person!"

Zhao Heng said, "He is the best calligrapher in Dasheng. I heard that his calligraphy is worth a thousand gold, but the calligraphy in his letters is not as good as mine. Is he married?"

Lu Wanzhi took the round fan in her hand and tapped Zhao Heng's hand who came to get the letter, "Not married, but he is old enough to be Yun Xuan's uncle."

Lu Yunxuan smiled and said, "Sister, brother Pei Qin is only 14 this year, and is [-] years older than me, so he can't be considered an uncle, right?"

When Zhao Heng heard Thirty, he wondered: "Why is he still not married at such an old age?"

Lu Yunxuan said: "Brother Pei Qin is obsessed with calligraphy, he vowed to find a woman with excellent calligraphy as his wife, if he can't find it, he thinks it would be good to have a plum wife and a crane.

But my grandfather's name was Mei Heweng, and he said that Mei's wife and Hezi took advantage of my fifth cousin, which made my fifth cousin very angry.

Now my fifth cousin is in charge of the best Meihu Academy in Jiangnan, and brother Pei Qin is also in charge of Wantao Academy, the best in Jiangnan. Therefore, the two of them often compete for the reputation of who is the number one academy in Jiangnan. Are you writing a letter to your sister? "

After reading the two letters, Lu Wanzhi said with a smile: "It seems that they are not fighting for the No. [-] Academy in Jiangnan, but for who is the No. [-] Academy in Dasheng.

They said in their letter that they had brought their students to Chang'an, and invited us Qinglan Academy to participate in the Dasheng Academy competition, and compete to see who is the number one academy in Dasheng. "

Zhao Heng said: "Why are these two people more naive than me? Is there any benefit in arguing about this?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Of course there are benefits, this matter is related to the reputation among literati, and our Tsinglan Academy has to fight this battle.

Among Dasheng literati and scholars, there has always been a widely circulated saying that Chang'an Jinshi came out of Qinglan, and Dasheng literati came out of Wanmei.

It means that Tsinglan Academy only cares about allowing students to obtain fame and become officials. If we really want to talk about literary talent, it is the two academies Wan Tao and Meihu.I have never been convinced by this sentence.

Coincidentally, now that they come to Chang'an, our three academies can also compete!It is the reputation of Dasheng No. [-] Academy to sit firmly in Qinglan Academy. "

Zhao Heng said: "So you still have to pick the top scholars from the academy to fight?"

As soon as Zhao Heng finished speaking, he heard a lot of footsteps. When everyone looked into the distance, they saw several carriages approaching.

On the two carriages headed side by side, there is a plum character and a Pei character on each.

Lu Wanzhi repeatedly stepped forward to greet her.

When the two carriages stopped, a man wearing elegant blue scholar's clothes came out of each of them. The two looked like they were full of scholarly temperament.

Seeing the two of them, Lu Yunxuan shouted happily: "Fifth Cousin, Brother Pei!"

Seeing Lu Yunxuan, Mei Fang smiled slightly and said, "Cousin Yunxuan."

Lu Yunxuan said to Mei Fang and Pei Qin, "This is my sister, and she is also the dean of Qinglan Academy, Lu Wanzhi. This is the little county king of King Chu's family, and now she is studying in the Tianzi class of Qinglan Academy."

Mei Fang and Pei Qin heard that they were the princes of the county, and they saluted with blessings.

Lu Wanzhi also saluted Mei Fang and Pei Qin, "Fifth Cousin, Mr. Pei, I just received your letter. I don't know when you will compete?"

Mei Fang said: "It will be half a month later, what do you think?"

Lu Wanzhi had confidence in the students of her academy and said, "Okay."

Pei Qin said: "For the sake of fairness, in this academy competition, you can't choose the best students from the academies to compete, but just randomly select a class from your academies, and only the students in it can compete."

Lu Wanzhi also agreed, and Pei Qin took out a note from the brocade bag handed over. Seeing that it said "Tianzi Class", Lu Wanzhi almost couldn't stand still.

Zhao Heng supported Lu Wanzhi, and muttered in a low voice: "Tianzi class? How can our Tianzi class compare with the people from their two academies? Does this mean that we must be at the bottom?"

Lu Wanzhi: "..."

Mei Fang saw the Tianzi class and said: "I think the knowledge of the Tianzi class should be excellent, right? Cousin is lucky."

Lu Wanzhi sneered, "It's really lucky! The two of you came all the way with the academy students, why don't you go and rest in the Lu Garden. I'll rent two Zhuangzi around here to let you rest for a while."

Mei Fang said: "That's unnecessary. Our Mei family also has a house in Chang'an City, so we won't bother our cousin. We went to the city to rest. We will come to Qinglan Academy to visit my cousin some other day."

Pei Qin also said: "The Pei family also has a house in Chang'an City. I will visit Miss Lu again after I rest and recuperate."

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said, "Okay, what are the rules of the competition?"

Pei Qin said: "Each academy selects seven scholars from the selected class, and competes in the seven subjects of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and fu respectively. Which academy wins more subjects, that academy wins."

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said, "Okay."

Pei Qin and Mei Fang did not stay for long, after all they had to take the scholar to Chang'an City to rest.

As soon as the two of them left, Lu Wanzhi pressed her temples with a headache.

Zhao Heng looked at Lu Wanzhi and said, "Are you having a headache again? Don't worry, if we compete like this, we won't lose at all. I think my calligraphy is better than Pei Qin, so let me go to the calligraphy competition, and I will definitely win."

Lu Wanzhi looked at Zhao Heng and said, "Then there are also piano, chess, painting and poems?"

Lu Yunxuan comforted Lu Wanzhi and said: "Xie Jin is very good at chess, I can play the piano, painting poems and prose are Shen Luozhi's strengths, especially prose, Shen Luozhi will definitely win the championship.

There are four of us participating, even if Xie Jin and I are not guaranteed to win the championship, at least two of the seven can win, and we won't lose so badly. "

Lu Wanzhi sighed and said: "Pei Qin is a master of calligraphy. I heard that he has a proud student who excels in calligraphy. Zhao Heng's calligraphy is good, but he hasn't practiced as hard as Pei Qin's disciples, so he may not be able to win.

As for Shen Luozhi...he will no longer come to Qinglan Academy. "

Lu Yunxuan asked: "Why didn't Shen Luozhi come to the academy? Aren't we destined to lose miserably?"

Lu Wanzhi sighed and said, "It would be great if Shen Luozhi could come to the academy, at least there will be a sure winner."
