Chapter 49 Wow, look what she found!
The glazed lanterns in Qiandeng Pavilion are available every year, but not everyone can take them away every year.

Whoever can pick off this lantern is not a world-famous talent?
Many people have become famous here, attracting people to flock to them.

However, although there are many applicants, not many can answer nine questions correctly and get on stage. Those who are screened out are truly talented and knowledgeable, and the following competition will be more exciting.

Xie Ci Nian was urged to go by Xie Qiong Yue. Jiang Ying smiled and said, "Master Xie is on stage. I'm afraid not many people can compete with him."

Xie Qiongyue covered her lips and smiled: "You think so highly of my brother?"

“It’s not about optimism, it’s about facts.”

When it comes to reading, who among the world’s scholars can compare with the Xie family?

The Xie family has a 500-year-old scholarly family and a collection of millions of books. Reading is something that is engraved in the hearts of the Xie family. That knowledge is not something that ordinary people can compare to.

Not to mention that in the year of Xie Ci, he was still a leader of the younger generation, a boy from the Xie family who became famous at the age of 13.

Then Jiang Ying saw Jiang Shiyu signing up.

Jiang Chan and Jiang Shimao came over at some unknown time. Seeing Jiang Shiyu going to sign up, she pushed Jiang Shimao to go too.

Jiang Ying: "..." What's going on?
Jiang Shiyu is only eighteen this year, and Jiang Shimao is only seventeen. How much ink do these two people have in their stomachs?
Yes, he is not old enough to say goodbye, and he is worthy of being crowned. But he is a genius who grew up in a sea of ​​books. How can ordinary people compare to him?

But then I thought about it, the focus is on participation, and it would be good to accumulate some experience.

Because we had to use nine test questions to screen one side first, there were many people on the stage and it was very noisy. Those who didn't get on the stage could only wait in boredom.

Ah Jin got a bench from nowhere. Jiang Ying and Xie Qiongyue sat next to each other, sharing the snacks they just bought.

Jiang Chan was standing not far away, her feet a little tired, but Jiang Ying didn't seem to see her at all and was chatting happily with Xie Qiongyue.

Jiang Chan went crazy with jealousy. Why did the prince choose Jiang Ying as his concubine? Why did the glorious young master Xie Jia look at Jiang Ying in a different light? Why did Miss Xie Jia, known as the first daughter, have such a close relationship with Jiang Ying? Like sisters?

Just now Jiang Ying smiled so frivolously at Mr. Xie, he was really watery and shameless!How can such a person be a princess?
Jiang Chan's palms were almost broken. She stared at Jiang Ying's face with evil thoughts. It would be great if she didn't have this face. Let's see how she can still seduce people.

"Boom boom boom!"

The gong rings, the first person to pass the level goes up, and the ring begins.

When literati compete, what they compare is the ink in their stomachs, and what they compete with is the skill of their mouths.

Even if you learn a lot about five tricks, you still have to be able to show it, apply it on the spot, and convince your opponents and people present to be useful.

The first person on the stage can ask questions, and the winner will continue to ask questions for the people behind, and so on.

In order to defend the ring, everyone racked their brains, devoted all their life's learning, and used all their skills.

Compare endorsements, compare strategies, calligraphy, painting, Chinese studies, poetry, strategy, and art of war.

Those who understood were mesmerized, while those who did not understand were more excited and enthusiastic than those who understood because they did not understand.

Jiang Shiyu and Jiang Shimao entered the ring one after another. Jiang Shiyu won the ring and defended one round, but lost the second round. Jiang Shimao encountered a more powerful opponent and lost in the first round.

Such a result could not be more normal.

Scholars abound in the world, and there are only a few who can stand out from the rest. These two people are obviously not among them.

To be honest, the only person in the Jiang family who can be called a genius is the old man Jiang Yuanshan. If he hadn't been really good at reading, he wouldn't have been valued by Li Guogong and supported him all the way into the officialdom, and then he rose to the top.He laid the foundation for the Jiang family to blaze a trail. His two sons are not bad, and his grandson has also been studying since childhood, but he has nothing to do with the word genius. If the Jiang family has another young man like him when he was young, , he probably no longer has to worry about the future of the Jiang family.

Xie Ci Nian appeared a little later, but as soon as he stood up, the people behind him could only moan.

The husband of the Xie family was a genius. He was proficient in literature at the age of three and composed poems at the age of seven. He had already read a lot of books at the age of ten. At the age of 13, he had a banquet and essay writing and became a blockbuster. At the age of 15, he became an official in the court.

He studied literature and compiled books and arguments; he studied engineering and drew pictures himself, and built the tallest building in the palace, the nine-story Star-Zhaing Tower; he studied the art of war and once hit the mark, he was able to defeat the enemy's conspiracy thousands of miles away.

If he wasn't too young, if the Xie family wasn't powerful, if it wasn't for a group of old foxes in the court suppressing him, how could he be just a fourth-grade imperial attendant?
Even if they haven't seen it with their own eyes, it's impossible that no one has heard of the amazingly talented young master of the Xie family.

Feeling unsure, they gave up. Most of the others felt that they would not win, but they felt that competing with such a person was a rare experience.

There are only a few people who are ambitious. This Xie Ci Nian is so outstanding. If they can defeat him, how can they become famous and rise to the top?
Xie Ci Nian is usually as gentle as jade and polite, but now on the stage, in a field he is familiar with, his back has become straighter, his expression is confident and proud, and his eyes are burning.

At this moment, the handsome man in crescent white clothes stood on the ring, with thousands of brilliance condensed into one body, making it extremely dazzling.

"Plop, plop!"

Jiang Ying covered her heart, and the sound of her heartbeat made her eardrums numb. Sure enough, it felt best to be alive.

Xie Qiongyue was probably the only person present who couldn't feel the charm of Xie Ci Nian. Others couldn't look away, but she could still look around. She turned her head inadvertently and saw Jiang Ying's expression.

Smiling lightly, her eyes were full of stars, and only the figure of the person on the stage could be seen in her eyes.

Wow, look what she found!
Xie Ci young man easily won the ring, and soon came up with the first question of defending the ring: painting with the theme of mountains.

"I'll come." Someone immediately came forward and said, "My surname is Zhou Wenhua. Thank you for your advice."

He thanked Nian and raised his hand to salute: "I don't dare to teach you, but please, brother."

The blank scroll is unfolded, splashed with ink, and the ink is smudged, and the mountains and sea are outlined in an instant.

Saying goodbye to the wandering dragon with the Nianbi brush is like divine help, without any need for thinking. It is as if the picture has been sketched in my heart a thousand times. At this moment, it flows smoothly and the posture is calm.

Xie Qiongyue leaned into Jiang Ying's ear and comforted him: "Don't worry, my brother is very good. He will never lose the questions he sets."

Jiang Ying: ...Which of her eyes saw that she was worried?

joke.

Does a genius like Xie Ci Nian need to worry about an empty-headed piece of trash like her?

Not surprisingly, Xie Ci Nian won. Within the stipulated time, two paintings were taken out. One had mountains towering and mist shrouded in it, with its own artistic conception. The other had too heavy strokes and the ink was dyed into the color of the mountains. It looked like It is like a rockery, with high and low heights.

"Thank you, Master, for winning!"

"it is good!!!"

Jiang Ying waved as the crowd cheered, and suddenly felt a chill on his back. He suddenly turned his head and looked around, but could not find the source of the danger.

illusion?
