Chapter 167: Jealousy

"Look, that's Chenyi from Yuelu Academy..."

"Where is Yi Feng from Shuntian Academy..."[]

"Wow, Zheng from the Imperial College, Zheng"

A scream came from the mouths of dozens of women standing at the railings beside the packhorse tower. These women were dressed in colorful and colorful clothes. When they saw Zheng Shuliang and the others, they almost screamed at the top of their throats——

This scene was very powerful, so powerful that it left Chen Jianchen speechless. He did not expect this scene to happen at all, and the sense of déjà vu was very strong. I used to hear that when talented people go out, they are often followed by a bunch of "nymphomaniacs".

Huhouyeng has endless scenery, but I have only heard about it and have never actually seen it.

Now, we finally see it.

From this, Chen Jianchen immediately remembered an allusion. In ancient times, there was a handsome man named "Pan Yue". Whenever he traveled, he would be thrown flowers and fruits by countless women. There is a poem to prove that Pan Lang was full of desire, but he had no choice but to throw flowers.

what".

Without it, I just wanted to make Pan Lang look at it.

Chen Jianchen also once thought in a very "little man" way, during the littering process, would there be jealous and crazy men in the team throwing rotten eggs or even stones?

The answer is obviously possible.

At least, the "Xiao Chungong" next to Chen Jianchen is not without jealousy of the authentic senior student Liu Xian, so I decided to draw another picture of "talents fighting each other", using rags and silk as a hand-to-hand fight."

Chen Jianchen laughed dumbly. There is a gap between Taoists and people."

After repeating the old story, Xiao Hanfeng sighed sadly: It is undeniable that in appearance he is very different from Chen Yi, Yi Feng, Mo Yuan, Zheng Shuliang and others.

Originally, Chen Jianchen was considered a handsome and handsome man, but because he did not pay much attention to grooming and wore simple clothes, he inevitably looked a bit shabby, and he immediately pales in comparison with those famous talents.

People rely on their clothes and wise sayings. No matter what era it is, it is difficult for a laggard to get along. Only in the story will the poor scholar be the protagonist.

Several talented people, all with fluttering robes and Confucian scarves on their heads. When the wind blows, the two silk ribbons on their backs flutter, I don't know how elegant they are. In their hands, a precious golden folding fan, which is indispensable all year round, floats from time to time.

Open it with a snap, and there will be landscapes, poems, or a combination of calligraphy and painting on the fan...

From head to toe, everything shows the style of a talented person.

This style cannot be achieved by just one outfit, but requires years of accumulation to be perfectly embodied.

In addition to clothing, handsome facial features are also one of the iconic images of a talented person. "Judge people by their appearance" has always been an "unspoken rule". People who are born with good looks will always gain the favor of others.

If you have a good skin, if you have the opportunity to be admitted to the palace examination in the future, you will obviously achieve better results.

Chen Jianchen remembers clearly that in the legend, although the ghost-hunting master Zhong Kui was full of talents, he was rejected because of his ugly appearance, and he hit a pillar and died in a rage...

The legend may not be true, but what you see in front of you is exactly the same.

The talent competition held by Kaitai College for the best talents in the world is a major event in Zhezhou. It has been widely spread for a long time and has become almost a household name. Today, the news that students from all over the world came to compete in poems on the Tuo Mata also spread early. Only then did the news spread.

There was a grand occasion with a large crowd of women watching.

Although today's Tiantong Dynasty still pays attention to "men and women are not allowed to be intimate", it is much more civilized and free than before. Women are a little bolder. When they meet the man they like, they will immediately give them personal items to express their "private commitment for life".

" means. Due to the special background of the times, a large number of "women chase men" situations have appeared. As for whether the man can successfully propose marriage in the end, that is another matter.

Zheng Shuliang and others had obviously experienced the scene for a long time, and they all showed elegant smiles in response to the screams of the girls.

The shouts of the women suddenly became even more deafening. They were all young, in their early twenties at most. Of course, their backgrounds were not that of ladies. Most of them came from the land of fireworks, and they were the type who were eager to find a lover to attach themselves to.

"Brother Yi, you see that Chen Jianchen is alone over there today. It shows that his popularity is extremely low. If he is not popular, it naturally means there is something wrong with his character."

At this time, Mo Yuan from Shigu Academy sneered.

This time Kaitai Institute held a talent competition for the best talents in the world. Zheng Shuliang from the Imperial College was of course the favorite, and then it was Mo Yuan, Yi Feng, and Chen Yi. Although the three of them had different backgrounds, they

They cherished each other and had already gotten to know each other during their study tours. Together they had gained the reputation of being one of the "Three Talented Young Scholars". It can be said that they were already well-known in the literary world and belonged to a generation of young talents.

Going to Zhezhou, they came with great ambitions. In the first calligraphy assessment, the three of them all got the first-class mid-level score. This score was not considered bad, but what they couldn't accept was that the only two got the

Among the first-class students, one of them was actually Chen Jianchen.

Who is Chen Jianchen?

In fact, they had never heard of this name before, so they looked at each other at a loss. After the results came out, they asked around about Chen Jianchen's origin. It turned out that he was just a student from Jiangzhou Minghua College.

Being overpowered by a student from a third-rate college who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stole the limelight, how could the three talented people in Suihan be convinced? They immediately went to appreciate the three characters "Si Wuxie" written by Chen Jianchen

, and write a text, analyze each stroke of the three characters from various angles, and comment on it, saying that this bit is not correct enough, that stroke is not round enough, etc. Anyway, it works.

No matter how critical you are, the final analysis is that the three characters written by Chen Jianchen are not worthy of the comments of the three judges.

Their appreciation articles also received echoes from a large number of student representatives.

Later, when I heard that Chen Jianchen actually turned against Zheng Shuliang because of a little book boy, he couldn't help but feel a bit gloating. He thought to himself: This guy is rude. He really has the face of a nouveau riche. He thinks he got a top grade in writing and is arrogant.

, he became arrogant and arrogant, and even dared to refute Zheng Shuliang's face. Isn't this asking for trouble?

Sure enough, after hearing about the bad relationship between Chen Jianchen and Zheng Shuliang, some student representatives who originally wanted to get close to Chen Jianchen stopped. They are not stupid people, and of course they have to stand on the favorable side. Regardless of comparison, Zheng Shuliang is not.

You can get away from Chen Jianchen by a few blocks. If you still go to befriend Chen Jianchen at this time, wouldn't it be equivalent to being at odds with Zheng Shuliang?

Circles, even just circles in the literary world, have such clear interests.

Chen Jianchen's loneliness further reflects his weakness. In the literary world, literati who do not have the protection of a circle will always be ostracized from all aspects...

However, Chen Jianchen seemed unaware of this and was indifferent to it. He didn't like to form cliques, and because he carried too many secrets, he habitually kept a certain distance from others. Others kept a distance from him, but he instead

He couldn't ask for it. If he had to join the circle just to flatter each other and make excuses for each other, he would rather be alone.

"Today's poetry assessment has officially begun. Representatives of each student member are invited to enter the tower."

Following the shout from the academic officer, thirty student representatives who had qualified for the poetry competition filed into the tower, and all the student representatives from major Piaotian Literature schools followed them.

"Yingning, just wait outside under the tree. I will come down soon."

"Well, come on, trample all these talented people under your feet."

Ying Ning's words were a bit loud, and many representatives of the students nearby heard them. They all looked sideways, thinking that this guy is arrogant. Even the little book boy who was following him was so arrogant. Could it be that he wanted to become

Father?"

Chen Jianchen indeed had the potential to be a "public enemy". When he entered the tower, he fell to the very back, alone, several steps away from the second-to-last person, as if no one wanted to stand with him.

At this time, Mr. Xu from Minghua Academy was a little aggrieved by the scholar-officials, and those academy students were so rude."

Gu Xuezheng disagreed, stroking his beard and saying, "Master Xu, if you don't make others jealous, you are mediocre, it doesn't matter." To be honest, Chen Jianchen's performance really made him overjoyed, it was a very big surprise. He originally thought that as long as Chen Jianchen could pass the first level, he would enter.

He was satisfied by reaching the second level, which was enough to earn face for Jiangzhou and Minghua Academy. Unexpectedly, Chen Jianchen soared to the sky and achieved top results in the calligraphy level, which can be described as "a blockbuster".

Thinking of this, he was in a good mood. Although there were some problems with Chen Jianchen's attitude before, in retrospect, it was because he was confident, but he acted too hastily and spoke too harshly. However, these were all small misunderstandings. After a few words, the misunderstanding had long since disappeared.

Reexist.

"Sure enough, this guy has some skills. It's very possible that he can win today. His song "Dusk" that day was so popular that it was recited for a while. With his poetic talent, he should have a good chance of passing today's test..."

A rising tide lifts all boats, and expectations for Chen Jianchen suddenly grew.

I raised my head and saw Feng Xuezheng from the Imperial College. I had an idea and took the initiative to hold my fist in my arms. Brother Feng, I accept your lucky words. I, a student from Jiangzhou, really got a first-class grade."

Feng Niange's face looked a little unnatural, and he said calmly that it was just the first level, Brother Gu, don't be too happy too soon."

Gu Xuezheng laughed loudly. Minghua Academy is only a third-rate academy, so I don’t have high expectations... Hehe, it’s different for someone. If he fails and returns home, I’m afraid he will be punished with words and words, and he will be ashamed of himself.”

As the leader of the Tianxia Academy, if the student representative of the Imperial College fails to win the title and takes away the plaque of "The Best Talent in the World" bestowed by the Holy Emperor, as an academic official, it is hard to escape the blame, and it is very possible that the job will not be guaranteed.

.

Feng Xuezheng suddenly turned pale.
