……

Li Minzhi once again came to Beijing in a high-profile manner, and chose to show up at Qingyun Lake in the capital on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. For a moment, the scene became even more lively, and many scholars who came to play rushed forward to ask for advice.

Li Minzhi was invited to the high platform by Liu Yun, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Li Chun followed beside him, his arrogance unable to be concealed in his humility.

as if,

His grandfather is the best writer in the world!

He is the second best in the world!
Li Chun enjoyed being the center of attention and said with a smile, "Why not hold a literary competition today to select the top ten essays? Then, I will give you some personal guidance from you. It will also be a good story if it is passed on."

Liu Yun, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, said with a smile: "If the teacher is willing to guide the younger generation, it will certainly be a blessing for us Kyoto students. But I wonder if the teacher has the time?"

Li Minzhi went to Beijing twice. It was true that he was carrying out the emperor's orders, but the more important thing was to make a name for himself. Of course, he would not miss such an opportunity. He nodded and smiled, "That's fine!"

"OK!"

Liu Xun, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, immediately gave orders to set up a hundred tables and chairs on the north bank of Qingyun Lake, and to provide free study materials. All scholars who had studied there were allowed to come forward and write essays, and the first ten would receive personal instruction from Mr. Li.

At one time, many scholars rushed forward, and all the hundreds of seats were filled.

The scholar in blue robe, with the fragrance of ink and brush.

Li Minzhi held his beard and smiled with satisfaction: "The flourishing literary style of our Great Xia is no worse than that of the two Song dynasties!"

Liu Yun, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, smiled and said, "That's true! Teacher, I think it will take a while to finish writing two articles. Let's go to the back and have a cup of tea to cool off."

……

Not far away, in a spacious carriage.

Shi Xiangyun said: "Today I know the superiority of the literary style of our Great Xia."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "A prosperous era promotes literature. Our dynasty has been peaceful for a hundred years, so the literary style is naturally very prosperous."

Xiao Xichun only watched the dragon boat race in the distance and was not interested in things like literary gatherings.

Jia Rong sat on the outside of the carriage and sighed, "Mencius said: 'Born in sorrow, die in comfort'. This kind of flourishing literary style is actually not a good thing."

Lin Daiyu lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "Why are you worrying about nothing, nephew?"

Xiangyun smiled and said, "Yes, you don't have to stay here with us, go and write your article. I heard that Mr. Li is a great scholar of the time. It's an honor to be guided by him once."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "I have given you advice once, so let's forget it this time."

It would have been bad enough that Li Minzhi came with bad intentions this time, but she even brought a grandson with her!
Grandfather fights with grandfather,

Of course, the grandson also wants to fight.

As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in every battle.

Jia Rong ordered several maids to watch the carriage outside, and several guards to stand guard. He went forward, found a position, and pretended to write an article while observing quietly.

Li Chun naturally would not write an article here.

He was in front, holding a pen and making comments.

As the top scorer in the examination of Nanyingtian Prefecture, it is actually a waste of talent for him to comment on these articles.

"No, no, it's almost there."

"this is not OK!"

"It's not enough to solve the problem. It's far from it."

"..."

After half an hour, there was not a single copy that caught his eye. For some, he only looked at the title and returned them directly because they did not meet Li Chun's requirements.

The scholars below, who were originally full of enthusiasm, felt as if they had been poured with cold water and were no longer as enthusiastic as before.

"We are here to see Mr. Li's comments. Who is he?"

"Hush, this is Mr. Li's proud grandson. I heard he won the first place in the Nanzhili Academy Examination."

"Humph, he's just relying on having a good grandfather, what's so great about that!"

After a while, the originally crowded scene gradually dispersed.

Li Chun smiled faintly.

I feel like I did a very good job of showing my power.

In fact, there were a few very good articles in it, but in order to show the level of his own articles, he only took a look at them, rated them as average, and returned them.

Li Chun looked down and said with a modest smile: "Everyone should show some of your real skills. If you want your grandfather to comment on these articles, it seems... they are not good enough!"

Everyone's faces turned pale and blue.

But it was hard to refute at the moment.

Jia Rong was almost overjoyed by the laughter.

It is true that every family has its own problems.
Someone as wise as Li Minzhi actually has such a brainless grandson.

Of course, if he could get the first place in the examination of Yingtian Prefecture, he must be very smart, but he lacks the social skills.

No brains at all!

A typical case of someone being stupid because of reading too much.

It seems... I can also contribute to the master's entry into the cabinet.

Jia Rong took two steps toward the crowd.

He had already discovered Ye Mengshu, and Xie Jiwen was also here to join in the fun, and the article he had just written was ruthlessly returned by Li Chun.

Now the two people are feeling a little indignant.

Jia Rong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Xie, Brother Ye, you are here too? Have you submitted your article? Has Mr. Li commented on it?"

The two were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

"Don't mention it." Ye Mengshu waved his hand and said, "I was treated like a fool."

Xie Jiwen said: "If I had known this, I would not have come. Li Chun is obviously provoking us northern scholars."

"Shunzhi, how about you write an article to dampen his enthusiasm?"

Jia Rong shook his fan and said with a smile, "I can't do that. He is the first in the Yingtian Prefecture case. What are we?"

Ye Mengshu sneered, "Really? Yingtian Prefecture is really amazing."

Xie Jiwen clapped his hands and sneered, "The first place in the Yingtian Prefecture case, amazing, the most talented person in the world! But I wonder why the most talented person in the world came to our Kyoto instead of staying in Jinling?"

Ye Mengshu smiled and said, "He is most likely here in Beijing to take the imperial examination. He is indeed the most talented person in the world! He is taking the grade-skipping exam!"

The three of them talked one after another, and everyone laughed.

The mood of opposition is high.

"Hahaha……"

"The most talented person in the world, haha..."

"Come on, let the world's most talented person have fun by himself, let's go watch the dragon boat race!"

"Haha, let's go together!"

"That's right. The Dragon Boat Festival is all about watching dragon boats! Why write an article about it?"

Led by Jia Rong and his two companions, more than half of the people had left in the blink of an eye, and only a few people were still scattered in front of the hundred tables and chairs.

Li Chun was stunned.

What are the identities of these people?
Don't even give him face?
Don't give face to his grandfather!
It's really... outrageous!
……

"Relieve anger!"

Ye Mengshu clapped his hands and laughed, "Seeing him like that makes me feel comfortable!"

Xie Jiwen glanced at Jia Rong and said with a smile, "Li Chun came with Li Minzhi and may live in Kyoto permanently in the future. What are Shunzhi's plans?"

Jia Rong smiled softly: "I am planning to have one."

"what?"

"You two should spread the word that he is the most talented man in the world. The louder the better! It would be best if he believed it himself."

Xie Jiwen: "The two of us? What about you?"

Jia Rong: "I want to go to Jinling."

Night Dream Book: "..."

Xie Jiwen said seriously, "I suspect this guy is coming for Miss Yun. Go to Jinling and cut off his firepower, and bring Miss Su Wan'er back to Beijing."

"I heard that girl is extremely arrogant and will follow whoever can write better essays than her!"

"Shunzhi, are you sure?"

Jia Rong said sternly, "Whether I am sure or not, I will not go."

Xie Jiwen asked: "Why?"

Jia Rong rolled his eyes.

"I won. I won an oiran."

"I lost. I'm not even as good as the oiran."

"You said I should go?"

"Anyone who goes is a fool!"

……

Li Minzhi and Liu Yun came out from inside after having tea. Looking at the empty space, Liu Yun asked in surprise, "Where are the people?"

Li Minzhi smiled and said, "Did everyone leave their articles to watch the dragon boat race? Have you selected the top ten?"

Li Chun: “…No.”

"without?"

Li Minzhi was stunned for a moment: "How many did you choose?"

Li Chun said awkwardly: "No one was chosen."

"Not even one?" Li Minzhi asked.

He has already spoken, where will he put his face if no one comes to comment?

Li Chun said as a matter of course: "They didn't write well, so I returned them all."

Li Minzhi: “…”

Why did he bring this good grandson out?

Wouldn't it be nice to let him study quietly at home?
At this time, a dark cloud passed by the sky. Liu Yun smiled and said, "It's going to rain. The weather is not good. According to the students, we should disband this literary gathering and hold another one another day."
