"Okay." At this time, Lu Yun had to nod helplessly and said, "It's settled."
After receiving Lu Yun's accurate reply, Shang Luojia felt relieved. Before leaving, she gently stroked her hair in her ears, looked at Lu Yun with charming eyes, and said softly: "Very good. As long as you perform well, the matter just now can be discussed."
"What's the matter?" Lu Yun didn't want to be led by Shang Luojia, so he could only pretend to be stupid.
"Haha, I'm leaving, you can continue to pretend..." Shang Luojia smiled so hard that her eyebrows were curved, and she waved the willow branches in her hand to Lu Yun, and then left gracefully.
Only Lu Yun, who looked frustrated, stood by the frozen pond, thinking about the eternal problem. Why can men defeat powerful enemies in beasts, but always defeat women?
Three days later, it will be the day for the literary test of the big competition.
The day before the literary test, the officials of Honglu Temple were busy setting up imperial thrones and yellow tables in the Wenhua Hall of Ziwei City, and placed thirty-two test tables neatly in the main hall. As for the felt mats, cushions under the table, and the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table, there were also special people to arrange them one by one, and they worked until late at night to complete the preparation.
On the second day, it was lightly dawn, and the children of each family who participated in the literary test board got on the bus one after another and prepared to go to Ziwei City to take the test. The tribesmen in each family also got up early and saw each other out in the streets inside and outside the village. The senior elders of the clan had a ceremony to see him off, which was exactly the same as the previous martial arts test, so there was no need to repeat it.
The difference is that when the carriages drive out of each yard, the crowds around them will disperse, and there is no grand occasion of the whole clan being dispatched during the martial arts test. This is not that the literary test is not that important, but the competition is in Ziwei City, and no one is allowed to enter. Moreover, people must be quiet when writing articles in the house. What's the matter with cheering?
Another deep reason is that the Daxuan Dynasty established its country with martial arts, and the whole nation was martial. It was always despised by people... No matter how much you write, it is impossible to beat me!
But from the perspective of the court, if the next unification is now, in order to facilitate rule, we naturally hope to deconstruct the military and cultivate the civil service. Therefore, the court naturally had to raise the civil service exam to the same level as the military exam. For this reason, the court stipulated that the top four places in the civil service exam could also be rated as the second rank. The remaining four places should also be ranked based on the results of civil service and military.
All families always pay attention to both civil and military affairs, and it is impossible to just focus on martial arts and neglect the literature. Wouldn't they train all the tribesmen to become simple-minded martial artists? So they were also happy to see the court elevating the literary test and urged their children to study hard while practicing martial arts. There are even land fences, Cui family, who value culture and education more than martial arts, especially land fences, whose children have more time to study than martial arts. When selecting their children, they also put articles first.
For example, Lu Yun and the other three were selected. When selecting, only Lu Lin was selected by force. Only the other three were able to stand out because of their good writing...
Therefore, this game was the time for the land fence to show its strength. However, by accident, the martial arts test was already very popular, and it was not good to be too high-profile at this time to avoid jealousy.
Although Xiahou Ba was in Xiyuan and was very kind to the land fence, no one knew what the old fox was thinking...
So today, only Lu Yi and Lu Xin were sent to the test, and the owner of the Valve Lu Shang was directly absent from the illness...
Xiahou Rongsheng also absent from the illness...
Xiahou Ba looked at Xiahou Buhei who was kneeling in front of him, and his dissatisfaction was overwhelming and said, "What's wrong? Rongsheng was so injured that he couldn't even hold the pen?"
"The Lord of the House of Revenge," Xiahou Buhe said tremblingly: "The blood and energy of the qi are going against the flow. It is already difficult to lift the chopsticks and pens, let alone write such a long article..."
"Is that true?" Xiahou Ba glanced at Zhu Xiuyi standing beside him.
"It's true," Zhu Xiuyi replied softly.
"Um..." Xia Houba then looked slightly clear and snorted: "He won't just go on like this, right?"
"This is not true, don't worry, the master of the lord." Zhu Xiuyi smiled and shook his head, "Young Master Rongsheng is solid and willing to endure hardships. He practices hard day and night according to the method taught by the students. When the snow comes out, he can not only recover, but also improve his skills.
"Don't touch his face." Xia Houba snorted again with some discomfort and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
About one minute from Mao, the children of each family gathered outside the Ziwei Palace. Compared to the day before yesterday when they were in Xiyuan, the children of each family were fighting against each other, today's atmosphere is much easier and more harmonious. This is easy to understand. After all, everyone no longer needs to fight to death, they just move their pen, so naturally they no longer need to cultivate murderous aura like fighting a cock.
At this time, the Ligong Gate was open for a while, and the children of each family greeted each other in a harmonious manner. They were originally familiar with each other, and after several days of competition, they naturally had a lot of things to say.
Although Lu Yun was not familiar with these people, as soon as he appeared in the audience, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. Many people came over and bowed politely to him.
"Young Master Lu, we won't know each other even if we fight!" Pei Yuanshao was also kind-hearted at this moment, as if he had walked out of the gloomy crowd that had been defeated by Lu Yun. He smiled and bowed to Lu Yun and said, "Pei Ju, Pei Yuanshao, we have seen it again!"
"Brother Pei is polite." Lu Yun naturally would not be entrusted, and he also politely returned to Pei Yuanshao: "Lu Yun, if you don't deserve Brother Pei's respect, you should call me my name directly."
"Haha! Then I won't be pretentious with you." Seeing that Lu Yun did not bully others with power, Pei Yuanshao smiled with relief. He was also a pride of heaven, so he naturally did not want to be humble. After hearing Lu Yun's words, he felt much more comfortable, and naturally he became much closer to his tone. "It's so lucky to be the same year as Brother Lu."
"That's right." Cui Baiyu's clear and pleasant voice sounded. There were no audience today, and his performance was much more restrained. He walked up to the two of them with a smile, pointed at Lu Yun and said, "We have been sharpening our swords for more than ten years. Finally, it was time to show off, but this brat popped out of the crack of the stone, snatched all the limelight and didn't leave it to us at all."
"You are not showing enough." Pei Yuanshao rolled his eyes and said, "The whole Xiyuan is not as sexy as you!"
"It's a pity that I lost to this kid." Cui Baiyu said that, but he smiled indifferently on his face: "Go to treat, treat, you must treat him after the competition!"
"This is awesome." Pei Yuanshao laughed and said to Lu Yun: "If you don't treat you, how can you comfort these defeated generals?"
Pei Yuanshao said this, and Lu Yun had room to refuse, so he had to nod and said, "The honor is so great."
"That's great, Master Lu treats you!" Cui Baiyu suddenly screamed at everyone, "Who is going?"
"I'll go!"
"I'll go!"
"What the hell!"
This shout didn't matter, which attracted more than a dozen or twenty people to gather around. Everyone laughed and said, "Of course we have to enjoy the whole thing!"
"The person surnamed Cui is not kind," Pei Yuanshao said with a smile on his face at Lu Yun: "This is the attitude of trying to make you poor."
