Chapter 66 Appearance is very important
Storyteller Network suppresses the cloud!
After the Lantern Festival Gala, it became popular throughout the capital.
After Yi Zhi told a few stories, these young ladies were immersed in the stories. Then, the poems of the talented ladies in the capital had no intention of savoring them at all.
This is the most failed Lantern Festival Liushang Qushui Poetry Conference held!
When these talented men found out what happened in the backyard and found out that a storyteller named Net Yuyun had stolen their limelight, they began to search for the storyteller in the capital.
The Internet suppression cloud became popular in the capital all of a sudden.
Talented men are looking for it, and the same is true for those daughters. They want to find this storyteller and listen to more exciting stories.
But after searching through the entire capital, there was no storyteller, and there was no teahouse or restaurant with a storyteller. In the end, everyone had no choice but to discover that only the one from Zhenbei Hou's family knew the whereabouts of the storyteller.com Yuyun.
However, few people dare to come to ask. The title of Zhenbei Hou is not the top among the many aristocratic families in the capital. Moreover, Zhenbei Hou has been stationed in the north for a long time and has not had much contact with other forces in the court. But it is precisely because of this that there are not many daughters with Yi Zhi, and they dare not come to disturb him without a suitable reason.
"I didn't expect that my second brother's story was so popular."
In her boudoir, Yi Zhi also stretched out her tongue. The madness outside was something she didn't expect. So many people wanted to find her brother. Fortunately, her brother used a pseudonym, otherwise she would have been discovered.
"But NetEase Cloud and brother's name are homophones, with only one word added. If someone is interested in investigating, they might find out their brother. I have to send a message to my second brother."
...
The county magistrate’s office!
In front of him, Yi Yun stood alone, and the other talents had already given up on competition, because Yi Yun's performance exceeded the best record since the Lantern Festival Gala.
At the Lantern Festival Gala every year, those young ladies have about ten questions. Over the years, they have been able to get first in five questions, no more than two-handed numbers. There is only one who can get first in seven questions, and there has never been one who can get first in all ten questions.
The reason is that the people who ask questions in the Pavilion each time are different, and the best answers they choose will be different in the end. But this time, Yi Yun is the best in ten questions, which has already broken the records of previous sessions. What are they still competing for?
"Hey, in terms of appearance, there is no one who can beat it. In this generation, I have to take on the appearance."
Standing alone at the bridge, Yi Yun felt invincible loneliness. If you talented men were actually not ugly, they were just because of their outstanding appearance and temperament.
This situation did not change until Zheng Hezhang brought many big figures from the city to the backyard.
"Hey, why is Yi Yun standing alone at the bridgehead? What's wrong with this year?"
Zheng Hezhang has been serving as the county magistrate in Guangyin County for several years, and this is not the first time he has held a Lantern Festival party. In the past, he came to the yard after talking in the front hall. The yard was very lively, and many talents were competing for the bridgehead position.
But now, Yi Yun is standing at the bridgehead, and other talented men are consciously standing on both sides of the bridge. This is the first time I have encountered this situation.
"Sir, this is the case."
A servant who was waiting here to know the situation, quickly stepped forward and told Zheng Hezhang in a low voice about the situation in the yard. Many gentry around Zheng Hezhang also heard it, and his expression was shocked when he looked at Yi Yun.
"So that's the case, Yi Yun is very good."
When Zheng Hezhang praised, the others naturally followed him. They could not sing opposites to the county magistrate. Secondly, they knew that Yi Yun was a relative of the Yin family, which was considered to please the Yin family.
However, there are always people who can't stand it.
"I'm afraid it's because I have a good face. This has been the case in previous years. Those handsome students will always be more popular."
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian scarf. His words made everyone's eyes turn to him. Everyone was no exception to this person's advice.
"Preface is also a kind of capital, otherwise, why do you have to set up a palace examination for the imperial examination?"
Liao Hui spoke, but his words made the other party unable to argue. Although he did not make it clear to the public, as long as he had participated in the state examination, almost everyone knew the importance of appearance in the last palace examination.
The students' grades have actually been set after the national examination. Students who are qualified to participate in the palace examination are admitted, and no one will fail. Although the emperor gives the questions to the palace examination, they are more likely to find a reason for the emperor to meet these students, and then select the top scorers, second scorers and Tanhua.
The emperor sees why the students’ purpose is to select the top scholar with good looks.
Especially during his time leaving Taizu, because of his mediocre appearance, he hoped that the top scorer would be an outstanding person and represent the face of the court. He demoted the top scorer that was originally planned by the chief examiner at that time to the second place and promoted the original second place to the first place.
With the example of Li Taizu, the top scholar in this dynasty had no ugly appearance, and there would not have been a top scholar like the previous dynasty.
At that time, some civil officials were dissatisfied with Li Taizu's behavior, but Li Taizu's words blocked them.
The top scholar paraded on horseback, and such ugly people, how could they get the support of the people? How could those women in the boudoir be thrown away and take hydrangeas? They yearn for the people they like to get fame and honor, and what I do is to educate them.
Li Taizu's meaning is very simple. The top scholar is handsome. When he paraded on horseback, those girls will be crazy. Only when the girls are crazy will the young students have motivation and yearn for such a day for themselves.
Li Taizu was born in a grassroots and a founding emperor. He had a very accurate grasp of the hearts of the people. What scholars call managing the family and governing the country is not the biggest motivation for them to study hard. The biggest motivation is to shine the family and make the beautiful women admire him.
"Then you have to go to the palace examination. All the knowledge is based on knowledge in the palace examination."
The middle-aged man spoke again, his identity was the same as Liao Hui, and he was also the president of the academy, from Wu Meng, the former president of his academy.
"Don't argue with you two. This is just a fun among the younger generations. Hasn't the county magistrate not set the questions yet?"
A gentry next to him interrupted the quarrel between Liao Hui and Wu Meng with a smile, and turned his attention to Zheng Hezhang. Zheng Hezhang laughed, "You two academies are the place where the cultural and artistic convergence of our county towns. The talents of our county come from both the colleges, and we also know that your two academies have always been dissatisfied with each other. In this way, today you two deans will give a question and then let these students answer."
Zheng Hezhang's words made everyone on the scene stunned. The original rule was that the county magistrate gave the question, but now it has been changed to two courts. Wouldn't there be a chance to cheat?
"Director Liao, give questions to the students of his original academy, and Dean Wu, give questions to the students of his time academy."
Zheng Hezhang's words dispelled everyone's doubts. If this is the case, there would be no cheating. Moreover, the two academies have been fighting for a long time. This time, the two deans are afraid that they will have to exhaust their minds and make things difficult for each other's students.
To get tricky questions, you must not exceed the knowledge range of these students. Just like asking questions in the exam, when facing elementary school students, you cannot give questions from junior high school students. This is not a dilemma, it is a deliberate difficulty.
"If you say this, then you will be disrespectful."
Liao Hui and Wu Meng were not polite. They looked at each other and Liao Hui smiled and said, "Brother Wu, please?"
"Brother Liao will come first."
Wu Meng was not fooled, and the latter had obvious advantages in setting the questions because it could deepen the difficulty of setting the questions in the former. The first one had no comparison. If the answer was too difficult and he was afraid of being dirt, but if it was easy, wouldn’t it be cheaper for the students of the other academy?
"Okay, I'll give the question first."
Liao Hui smiled. He knew very well what Wu Meng was thinking. If it were the case in the past, he would have been worried, but he would have no pressure to think that Yi Yun was taught by Brother Xu himself.
"Students are more learning the meaning of the scriptures and are not good at poetry. So, just write poems based on anything in this courtyard, and then the adults and you all appreciate and comment together."
When everyone present was surprised when they heard Liao Hui's question setting, they said that the question was very simple. There were so many things in the entire back flower garden, so there was a lot of room for play.
"It seems that Brother Liao is very confident in his students, so my topic is the same, I use this yard to write poems."
Wu Meng heard Liao Hui's confidence, but he didn't know where Liao Hui's confidence came from. His original academy and Time Academy have always been a competitive relationship. He also knew some of the top students of Time Academy. The most powerful one in Time Academy was Zhang Chu.
But Zhang Chu was from a poor family and the poor family did not learn a lot. Zhang Chu focused on the meaning of classics, which was nothing in poetry, and it was still a little different from the students of his academy.
"Then tell these students the question."
Zheng Hezhang waved his hand and the servants walked to the bridge and informed the questions raised by the adults. When they heard the questions, many students at the scene lit up, and several of them were secretly happy.
With such a loose proposition, they can completely bring the poems they have carefully written in the past here, as long as they meet the situation, the yard is filled with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemums, small bridges and flowing water.
"This makes it convenient for me."
Yi Yun was also happy when he heard the title. Although he was a time traveler, to be honest, the ancient poems he recited were the level of twelve years of education. If he really had a poem on the topic, he might not be able to find a suitable one.
But now, he just needs to take out one of the poems he knows in his mind.
The servants of the county magistrate's office prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Several students who had recited them long ago like Yi Yun started writing. Yi Yun saw these people and laughed. It seemed that he had never received a beating in the exam.
Even if you really want to take out the poems you wrote in the past, you have to pretend to think about it. This is not an obvious way to tell everyone that my poem is not what I think on the scene.
When he was in the English exam, although he didn't know a few words on it, he pretended to hold a pen and write and draw on the test paper. He even deliberately said words, while writing the answer, he also turned forward with the test paper, making a look that was in line with the context. The purpose was very simple, that is, the invigilator could not realize that he was the kind of person who did the test seriously. In this way, the invigilator would not focus on himself when he plagiarized later.
After pondering and thinking for a moment, Yi Yun walked to the servant. At this moment, half of the students had already started to pick up their pens, but many people still focused on him. After all, he was the one with the most popularity tonight.
