I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 195
Undoubtedly, this type of question tests not only the knowledge reserve of the scholar, but also the quick response and tolerance.

As the saying goes, the text is like a person, a person with a small belly and a small stomach, absolutely cannot write sentences with the world in mind like Mr. Fan Zhongyan, who "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later".

Thinking in this way, Qu Lingxu raised his head, and saw Liu Xianjing staring at him with malicious eyes, suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded, he only slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, and turned his gaze away.

It's just... She always felt that besides Liu Xianjing, there was another person whose eyes were always on her, and she searched around to no avail, so she didn't continue to struggle, and only temporarily put all her thoughts on coping with the exam.

A contestant who can reach this stage must have some advantages, and she must not underestimate the enemy.

Soon, the examiner gave the key information of the first competition, which was to match the couplets based on the missing characters.

"I'll come first." As soon as the examiner finished speaking, Liu Xianjing was the first to say: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Qu Lingxu with a half-smile, "It's said that Mr. Qu has learned a lot from others. I don't know if you can make a second couplet?"

……

The biggest feature of couplets with missing characters is that they rely on missing characters to express meaning. Liu Xianjing's Shanglian stopped abruptly from one to seven, but there is no eight.

Forget eight.

Homophonic bastard.

He was using couplets to call Qu Lingxu a bastard.

This guy is really a vengeful master, and he doesn't know if he will be able to marry a wife in the future.

Silently complaining in his heart, Qu Lingxu began to think about the appropriate answer. Originally, such a missing word couplet was not so difficult to correct, but this time, he had to be correct smartly and scold people happily, which invisibly increased the difficulty Fortunately, Qu Lingxu's knowledge is not weak, and he has the answer after thinking for a while.

"Filial piety, younger brother, loyalty, faith, propriety, righteousness, honesty."

As soon as Qu Lingxu finished speaking, admiration flickered in the eyes of several examiners, but Liu Xianjing turned blue with anger after being slightly stunned. I'm afraid I can't help but rush to beat Qu Lingxu.

The reason is very simple, Qu Lingxu said so much, but only one word is missing: Shame.

That is to insinuate him: shameless.

Successfully regained a round.

Seeing Liu Xianjing's fair and ruddy face gradually turn into pickle-colored, Qu Lingxu felt like wanting to laugh but couldn't. In fact, Qu Lingxu didn't really hate Liu Xianjing, but this guy always wanted to laugh. To make trouble for himself, he can only play with him.

However, this account still has to be charged to Leng Yuanxun in the end, hum!

This pair naturally ended with Qu Lingxu's complete victory, and then the examiner came up with another couplet, "Twilight at dusk, dusk at dusk, dusk at dusk."

After the question came out, several other people also came up with the next couplet one after another, but Qu Lingxu did not answer in a hurry, but thought carefully. If she remembers correctly, this is an excellent absolute. She has seen famous people The second couplet that comes out is just not very clear for a while. Her own couplet is not as shocking as the famous couplet, so I should think about it...

Fortunately, Qu Lingxu's memory is not too bad. Just when the exam time was about to come, she finally figured it out, picked up the Langhao pen in front of her and wrote on the paper: East articles, west articles, articles posted on the bridge.

Uh... the couplets are right, but her brush calligraphy is really... difficult to be elegant, it seems that I will have to spend more time on practicing calligraphy in the future, huh.

On one side, Qu Lingxu reflected on himself for writing the brush characters in the shape of 'dog crawling'. On the other side, several examiners who got the couplet couldn't help but praise in unison: "Good! Really good! It's really absolute. !"

Not only that, but one of the gentlemen was too excited to shoot the case, and then he may have realized that his behavior was a bit 'excessive', so he quickly sat back.

The examiners invited by the Biwen Conference are all well-known erudite Confucians today. These erudite Confucians not only have high attainments in literature, but also have a thirst for talents. Qu Lingxu has such a young age. Gao Literary talent, can't help admiring him, so much so that the examination questions originally scheduled for four questions, after Qu Lingxu finished answering the third question, were unanimously passed, and two gentlemen expressed their willingness to accept Qu Lingxu in public Being a disciple, this is an honor that has never been given to the Biwen Conference for so many years. It is also destined that Qu Lingxu will definitely occupy a place in the capital and even in the literati circle of the whole country because of this competition.

The so-called overnight success probably means this.

Qu Lingxu naturally declined the olive branches offered by the gentlemen. Afterwards, under the slightly regretful eyes of several gentlemen and the shocking, admiring, or envious eyes of many scholars, she went to the pending area on the third floor. Silently waiting for the coming of the third competition.

It has to be said that at this moment, Qu Lingxu, who has always been good at controlling her emotions, couldn't help but feel a little excited and... ashamed, because all the achievements in the past were obtained by her own strength, but In today's match, all she relied on was her memory. If it wasn't for her identity from time-traveling, she would definitely not be qualified to stand here.

There is a feeling of stealing the fruits of other people's labor.

Qu Lingxu was always immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't even know when there was another person beside him. He didn't come back to his senses until the other party's cool voice reached his ears.

"Young Master Qu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello." Qu Lingxu raised her head subconsciously, but the faint smile in her eyes was instantly fixed on the spot by the "prosperous beauty" in front of her eyes.

Oh my god, forgive her for being a nympho, this man is so beautiful!

Don't get me wrong, when Qu Lingxu thinks of the word "beautiful", there is absolutely no derogatory connotation, but a kind of extreme, almost wordless compliment, because this face is not only 360-degree exquisite without dead ends, but also without any trace of indifference. Arrogant, sinister and other expressions are added, which are as clear and beautiful as a pool of clear water. When people look at it, their restless hearts are quieted down.

The so-called healing beauty is probably like this, Qu Lingxu thought.

Of course, if Qu Lingxu knew the true identity of the person in front of her and what he was planning, she would not have such thoughts in an instant, because what she saw was none other than the prince of Beili: Baili Haochen.

Baili Haochen sneaked into the capital half a month before the Beili mission entered Beijing. Apart from arranging the next tasks, the most important reason was to participate in the Biwen Conference in disguise. He had been educated in Chinese culture since he was a child. Because of his talent and intelligence, he has achieved success in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and prose. This time, he came here to prove that he is not inferior to these literati in the Central Plains who think they are knowledgeable.

It can be seen that the king of Beili has coveted the land of the Central Plains for a long time. The so-called wolf ambition is nothing more than that.

Originally, Baili Haochen was very confident in winning the championship, but he did not expect to encounter such a sudden change as Qu Lingxu.

Of course, with Qu Lingxu's concentration, even if he loses his composure a little bit, he won't let himself lose his composure for too long, so he immediately came back to his senses, and said with a light smile: "Young master is very energetic, Xiaosheng can't help but be greedy. , and please don’t take offense, my lord.”

Fortunately, she is now disguised as a man. If people know that she is a woman who has not been out of the court, but she is greedy for the beauty of men, she will really lose her face to her grandma's house.

Not only that, but the most careful guy in the world will definitely overturn the jealousy jar and make her unhappy.

"Young Master Qu is being polite." Baili Haochen smiled lightly, pointed to the position next to Qu Lingxu, and said with a smile, "I wonder if I can sit here?"

Facts have proved that a woman's sixth sense is quite accurate. From the moment she appeared on the street, Qu Lingxu felt a gaze staring at her. She guessed right, that gaze was none other than Baili Haochen, it's just that Baili Haochen's target is not her, but Rong Sheng.

As mentioned before, the Zhongyonghou's mansion guarded the border for generations. Even the old matriarch personally went to the battlefield when he was young, commanding the army to resist the invasion of the Northern Li. Now the Zhongyonghou, who is Rong Sheng's father, guards the northern border in normal years. In other words, if the Northern Li army wants to go south in one fell swoop, the first thing to get rid of is the obstacle of Zhongyonghou.

Zhongyonghou inherits the family tradition and is skilled in both civil and military affairs. It is by no means easy to deal with. That's why Baili Haochen set his mind on Rong Sheng, thinking that if he can find an opportunity, he will hold Rong Sheng hostage. In his hand, Zhongyonghou will definitely throw a mouse-snapping weapon. As long as he is in a mess, the Northern Li army can find a breakthrough and enter the customs smoothly.

Unexpectedly, Qu Lingxu, who was by Rong Sheng's side, unexpectedly caught his eyes.

Baili Haochen is by no means an idle person, so even though he has never met Qu Lingxu, he can definitely judge that she is not a man in some small details, but the information he has is very limited, so for a while It is still impossible to determine her true identity.

"Of course." Qu Lingxu took a step sideways and made a "please" gesture. In order not to get too close to him, she deliberately chose a seat a little farther away, and only hoped that the third competition could be played sooner. Start at one point, otherwise, if Leng Yuanxun saw her chatting with other men like no one else, it would be strange if his little emotions would not explode.

But... what is the difference between ideal and reality?

"Mr. Qu, congratulations." Qu Lingxu hadn't finished the thoughts in his mind when a familiar cold voice came to his ears. No need to look, the man's face must be as dark as the bottom of the pot.

……

What did she really want? Should she be glad that what she wanted came true?
Well, she admits that no matter how good-looking the man in front of her is, she is still a little worse than Leng Yuanxun, but his complexion has always been good. He is not like this guy, who loses his temper every now and then, and is not cute at all. .
