Poor Lady

"Father, why did you refuse?" In the study, Qi Surong asked, "If you can make a name for yourself, it won't hurt the Qi family."

"Do you think Dad doesn't know the benefits?" Father Qi shook his head and said, "However, Rong Er, have you ever thought about it, once you take over this task, your identity will inevitably be exposed to others, let alone whether you can embroider to satisfy the envoy in the end? As long as you start embroidering, there will definitely be villains to make trouble. The envoy only stays in the capital for three months, and for three months, any accident may happen.”

Qi Surong showed a thoughtful look.

"It's hard to guard against being framed by a villain." Qi's father said again: "If you fail to complete the task after taking over the task, the entire Qi family will be severely punished. If you refuse at the beginning, denying that you can embroider or pretending that the embroiderer is someone else , If you are not in the capital, any reason is fine, and the emperor can't do anything about it. The worst result is to close Yunrong Xiu Zhuang, and no more embroidery."

Qi Surong nodded: "Father's words are not unreasonable, please allow your daughter to think about it for a few days."

She really wanted to take on this task, but as her father said, once her identity was exposed, she would be greeted by all kinds of guns and arrows. If the Qi family kept a low profile, it would be fine. If they wanted to be in the limelight, they would definitely be suppressed.

She didn't dare to risk the Qi family's future without thinking of the safest solution.

After thinking about it, Qi Surong wrote a letter and sent it to Feng Zhan, asking him to delay it for a few days.

Feng Zhan looked at Junyi's handwriting on the letter and murmured, "The so-called characters are just like people, I don't know what Miss Qi will look like now..."

He wrote back and agreed to Su Rong's request.

Qi Surong, who got a positive answer, temporarily calmed down. Tomorrow is the day of Wen Dou, and she plans to go and see it.

However, first of all, I have to ask Mr. Xu to hold Su Bao...

Wendou was held in Xingshi Garden. This time, four colleges, Baiyang, Yunzhong, Lucheng and Zhenwen participated. Yingshu Pavilion is a rather special existence. It was inscribed by the late emperor and bestowed upon Xu Chen. It is authorized to collect books from all over the world, including some precious classics that only the imperial palace can collect.

Although Xu Chen has no official name, he has the privilege of collecting books. As long as he sends a word, all the prefectures and counties will provide him with books unconditionally.

The Yingshu Pavilion is open every three months for scholars to read and copy. As the owner of the bookstore, Xu Chen, the disciples he accepted also qualified to participate in Wendou.

The next day, Su Rong disguised himself as Zhuo Fan and took Yuan Xi to Xingshi Garden.

Compared with Fan Ziyu in the past, Yuan Xi today is not only much taller, his facial features have become mature, and his temperament is also very different. Those who are not close to him may not be able to recognize him.

That's why Qi Surong took him with him at ease, even if he was recognized, it didn't matter, at most he was ridiculed for a few words.

When she came to Xingshi Garden, Surong handed over the famous post that Xu Chen gave her, and the doorman checked them and let them in.

There are rows of numbered rooms without doors in the Xingshi Garden, just like the Gongyuan, and the competition questions are written on canvases outside each numbered room. Su Rong came relatively late, and the fighting had already begun. Hundreds of princes were scattered in each room, fighting in full swing.

In the middle of the yard, there are several half-person-high wooden plaques with five names: "Baiyang Academy", "Yunzhong Academy", "Lucheng Academy", "Zhenwen Academy" and "Yingshu Pavilion". Below are the corresponding scores.

Baiyang Academy is 18 points, Yunzhong Academy is 12 points, Lucheng Academy is 9 points, Zhenwen Academy is 7 points, and Yingshu Pavilion is 12 points.

"Twelve points? Good grades." Qi Surong praised secretly. There were at least ten contestants from other academies, but Yingshu Pavilion only had Ji Yun, Sun Lingxuan, and Huang Zheng, but they won the second-best score after Baiyang Academy, and they performed quite brilliantly.

Qi Surong walked through each room one by one, and when she encountered an interesting test question, she stopped to watch the game, thinking about how to solve the problem if she was herself. Walking all the way, she finally found an acquaintance - Sun Lingxuan of Yingshuge.

The competition he participated in was very interesting, and it was a test of comprehension and memory of the content of poetry and books.

When Su Rong arrived, he heard the examiner ask: "How many words 'Zi Yue' are there in the entire Analects of Confucius?"

Su Rong is speechless, this is purely deliberately making things difficult, right? Who can answer?

All the contestants really looked disheveled, while scolding in their hearts, they frantically recited the Analects.

At this moment, Sun Lingxuan replied aloud: "There are a total of two hundred and one 'Zi Yue' in the Analects of Confucius."

"Correct answer." The examiner nodded.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at him with the eyes of a monster.

Then the examiner asked again: "Please recite the "Inscription of the Shabby Room" within one stick of incense, and you will be out of the game if you make two mistakes."

This topic is really tricky.

Qi Surong looked at the group of contestants sympathetically, wondering how they could stomp the examiner in their hearts...

Although "Inscription of the Shabby Room" is not long, it is not just memory that is tested if you want to do it backwards.

"What is there, Yun Zikong..." Sun Lingxuan's voice sounded again, his expression was more relaxed than before, and in the eyes of everyone's swords, he recited the "Inscription of the Shabby Room" word for word.

Where did this guy come from? Can you give other people a way to live?

Compared with memory, a single Sun Lingxuan tortured and killed all the contestants at the venue, which is simply the leader.

It is estimated that after this battle, his "unforgettable" skills must be known to everyone.

The next competition can be imagined, it has completely become Sun Lingxuan's personal show, and when it is over, everyone can't help showing expressions of relief.

Qi Surong laughed secretly. She estimated that in the next Wendou, the examiners would not ask such tricky questions again, so let's recite poetry and prose peacefully.

Sun Lingxuan won another four points for Yingshuge, and the total score surpassed Baiyang Academy.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw Qi Surong.

"Brother Zhuo, you are still here." Sun Lingxuan walked over a few steps.

"Brother Sun, the test just now really opened my eyes." Qi Surong praised from the heart.

"Junior Zhuo has won the award, but his memory is superior to that of ordinary people." Sun Lingxuan waved his hand and said, "By the way, what will junior brother want to compare later?"

"Let's take a look at it for now." Qi Surong said with a smile, "My little brother is ignorant, but he doesn't dare to show his ugliness."

At this time, several teenagers came over and asked about Qi Surong.

Sun Lingxuan introduced them one by one, and he was a familiar face.

Then, he took Qi Surong to another test.

Here is a comparison of fighting poems, with "Winter", "Pine" and "Fish" as the topics, one poem for each, and the time limit is half an hour.

Sun Lingxuan pointed to a slightly chubby boy in the corner and said, "That's Huang Zheng, who joined Mr. Xu's door with me, and is better than poetry and poetry."

Qi Surong looked intently and saw that the young man had a simple and honest appearance, with a smile on his face, as amiable as Maitreya Buddha.

When Sun Lingxuan and Qi Surong were present, he just finished the last poem, and after a little tidying up, he submitted the poem to the examiner.

When he turned around, seeing Sun Lingxuan, he immediately ran over and said with a smile, "Brother Sun, are you finished? What is the ranking?"

"Naturally it came out on top." Sun Lingxuan replied with a smile.

"Amazing!" Huang Zheng gave a thumbs up, then looked at Qi Surong and asked, "Who is this?"

"He is the fifth student Mr. Xu accepted, Zhuo Fan."

"Ah, Junior Brother Zhuo, hello, it's polite to go to Huang Zheng." Huang Zheng reported with a fist.

"You're welcome." Qi Surong returned the salute, "Brother Huang looks calm, so he must have answered well."

"I don't know either." Huang Zheng touched his nose and said, "I have tried my best."

This man is very open-minded.

Qi Surong smiled slightly.

Huang Zheng opened his squinted eyes and boasted, "Brother Zhuo looks really nice."

gratifying? Is this a compliment? Qi Surong was silent.

Sun Lingxuan patted his forehead and said, "Don't praise people casually in the future."

"Oh." Huang Zheng touched his nose and smiled naively.

"Okay, it will take some time for you to mark the papers here. I'll go see Brother Ji Yun first, shall I?"

Sun Lingxuan greeted everyone and walked to the other side of the room.

Ji Yun participated in the debate, and this time he freely expressed his views on the topic of "the greatest without the outside, called the big one; the smallest without the inside, called the small one". The topic is profound and contains the concept that all things are relative to each other, which is quite difficult.

Qi Surong thought to himself that he should be able to see a wonderful debate later. Unexpectedly, when the three arrived, the debate was over.

Looking around at the contestants, all of them were sullen, and they all glared angrily at Ji Yun who was standing in front of their heads.

"It seems that Brother Ji Yun is in the limelight again this time." Sun Lingxuan said with a smile.

There was a lot of discussion around, each insisting on his own words, presumably the debate just now was quite controversial.

Several examiners also discussed for a long time, and finally ranked three tied first.

Everyone was in an uproar. Three first?

Although there is a lot of controversy, Ji Yun's eloquence is outstanding, obviously overwhelming everyone. As a result, the three sides stood side by side, which was equivalent to a tie.

Ji Yun snorted softly, and after saluting, the crowd came out.

"Brother Ji Yun is really powerful. He fights against the heroes with his tongue, and he is not at a disadvantage." Sun Lingxuan boasted.

Ji Yun shrugged: "It's a pity that I didn't get the top spot."

"Don't worry, keep trying." Huang Zheng shook his fist.

Ji Yun nodded and noticed Qi Surong beside him: "Who is this?"

Sun Lingxuan introduced it again.

Several of Xu Chen's students were officially acquainted.

Several people stood together, attracting the attention of many people. Yingshuge had a lot of limelight this time. The three students, in addition to the already famous Ji Yun, Sun Lingxuan and Huang Zheng, who participated in the competition for the first time, all made a blockbuster. First of all, it's not Sun Lingxuan's super memory. The seemingly harmless Huang Zheng is extremely talented in writing poetry and writing. Before the 12 points of Yingshu Pavilion, 6 points were earned by him alone.

Ji Yun and others chatted for a while and decided to continue the test. The competition time is only one day, you must hurry up, or you will soon be overtaken.

Seeing that they were so active, Qi Surong wondered if she should go down and compete? After all, as a member of Yingshu Pavilion, several of the seniors are outstanding, but it is a bit of a loss for me to have no performance.

In the field of poetry, prose and scriptures, she may not be able to compare with these outstanding scholars, but she may have the strength to fight for qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.
