Four students from the School of Jingli Town took the lead in answering questions. What they needed to do was relatively simple. They copied one of the master's old works and could submit them. The only thing they need to pay attention to is that they cannot repeat them.

The four students of Lushan Town School thought hard, and only after nearly half of the time limit did they hand in their respective poems together.

Eight poems were scattered to the reviewers, and for a moment, the eight students were whispering in the lobby. At this time, the first rejected poem was written. Li Jiuzhen looked at Wang Gui with sympathy, and Wang Gui suddenly became depressed, as if a piece of vegetable leaves were beaten by frost.

Soon, Li Jiuzhen looked at Tang Huai with sympathy again, and Tang Huai immediately turned into a second little leaf, a pair of brothers in distress listless.

The poems of the four students in the School of Wuli Town were all good, but two of them obviously did not slap the title and wrote the scenery of Daming Mansion, which was immediately eliminated.

"Mr., how about this song?"

The presiding judge handed a poem to Liu Zhen. Liu Zhen looked at the signature, which was written by Yue Fei.

The red sun is as hot as fire, and the wild fields are half-baked and scorched.

The farmer's heart is like soup boiling, and the prince and grandson shake the fan.

Liu Zhen was startled, quickly covered the poem and whispered to the judge: "If Guanren Li saw this poem, we will be severely scolded and this poem will be invalid!"

After saying that, he tore off the manuscript of the poem with a brush and glared at Yue Fei fiercely. He dared to write such poems that criticize current problems at a young age, and he was still very happy to grow up.

He thought to himself, 'What does a child know? This must be taught by Yao Ding. It seems that this person can never be used anymore.'

Liu Zhen originally planned to transfer Yao Ding back to the county school to teach, but after seeing this poem by Yue Fei, he changed his mind again and could not let Yao Ding stay in the county town to harm the students. It would be best to stay in a remote village, so he gave up the idea of ​​using Yao Ding more.

At this time, the county magistrate Ma Fu handed a poem to Li Kui and said with a smile: "We all think this poem is good, but we can get the first one. Please check it out."

Li Kui looked at the county magistrate and the chief clerk, and both nodded in agreement with the county magistrate's opinion.

Li Kui then opened it and looked carefully. The lyrics were "Quail Sky"

"Quail Sky. Linli Spring"

In the winter, the plum blossoms are still deep, and the lonely branches are thin and withstand the frost. The old peaches and plums are left alone. In the snow, the water is sparse. After the light rain, early spring returns, and the sun and the news return from heaven. Thank you for your strength, thanks to Dongjun's strength, and the jade buds are red and fat all night.

This poem is a masterpiece by Lu Yun, a master of the School of Wuli Town, and was used by his students to compete for the title.

Li Kui nodded, "The old peach and plum blossoms are left unattended, and the snow is scattered and knowing that the water is faint. These two sentences are well written and interesting, but the whole poem is a bit frivolous, with poor intentions, and lacks reasoning in the narrative. They can be ranked second."

Ma Fu and his men looked at each other in a daze. Ma Fu asked, "I wonder who Guanren Li thinks can be the first?"

Li Kui handed them the poem in his hand, "Look at this poem by Li Yanqing!"

Visit Liwen Village

Don’t laugh at the farmers’ wax wine, and keep guests in good times for a good harvest.

Children meet and know that the day is warm, and their clothes are simple and ancient.

Xiao Gu followed the Spring Club near, and the drunken man returned to the village.

The green branches are covered with flowers on the ground, and I know that it is a stubborn grandson fighting against grass.

Ma Fu was stunned and everyone was circulating it. Everyone was shocked. Li Kui stroked his beard and nodded and praised: "It is not in vain that I can read such a life-filled poem."

County Magistrate Liu immediately announced that Lushan Town Academy won the final victory in the debate test competition. The four partners of Lushan Town Academy hugged each other excitedly, and they finally won the final victory in the ring match.

The news that the leader of the ring competition fell and the Lushan Town School spread like wildfire, and the city was sensation. The most exciting thing was the fellow villagers living in the county. They were already ready. When the news of Lushan Town School winning the championship came, the sound of crackling firecrackers immediately sounded around Tangji Inn, accompanied by people's cheers.

There were more than a dozen servants carrying big baskets, and the villagers poured money into the baskets one after another. The wealthy merchants invested several chunks of money, and the poor men would also invest more than ten cents to show their feelings. In the end, more than a hundred chunks of money were donated to the school as a fund for the school management.

"Here is here! Here!"

Hundreds of villagers surrounded the ox cart and drove towards the inn. When the four children came out of the ox cart, the villagers rushed up and lifted the four of them high, throwing them into the air again and again. Cheers, applause, laughter and firecrackers resounded throughout the inn.

The celebration continued, but the four of them were not lucky enough to enjoy it again. After a sumptuous supper, they were locked in the room by their master and began to prepare for tomorrow's exam.

"Actually, don't worry too much!"

Tang Huai burped and simply put his feet on the table. He said proudly: "Generally speaking, if you win the ring game, the overall situation is basically decided. Unless the bitter children in Tangbei Township collectively had diarrhea last year, the leader will eventually not be able to escape our palms."

"Why?" Li Yanqing asked in confusion.

"Because the content of the exam is very simple, it is the silent scripture. We have drawn fragments of silent scriptures from the three books "The Book of Filial Piety", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius". We have all memorized it thoroughly, so what are we afraid of?"

"But some people can't recite it!" Yue Fei glanced at Wang Gui and said.

"What does it have to do with me!"

Wang Gui muttered in a low voice: "You have studied for five days more than me, of course I am better than me. Even if I kill me now, I can't recite so much."

"It's okay! It's okay!"

Tang Huai waved his hand carelessly, "Anyway, he only counted the results of three people in the end, so even if Lao Gui handed in a blank paper, it would not affect him."

"Really?" the three of them asked in unison.

"Of course it's true. I didn't count my grades last year. Don't I know?"

Wang Gui cheered, "Let's go read the book!"

He threw the pen and went to the room to read the book. He was going to read it for the second time today, and he wanted to read it carefully word by word.

Tang Huai also wanted to follow him, but was caught by Yue Fei, "You can't go, stay and endorse your letter. If you fail the exam, our leader will be gone."

At this time, Li Yanqing saw the guy leaning out at the door, and walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong with Brother?"

"There are people looking for a small official outside and they are waiting in the lobby."

Li Yanqing turned around and said to the two: "You guys start first! I'll come when I go."

When Li Yanqing came to the front yard, he saw a man in a short soapy dress sitting in the lobby. Li Yanqing recognized him at a glance, and he was the attendant who had first applied medicine to him.

Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Why are you here, uncle?"

The man was a entourage of the governor Li Kui. Seeing that Li Yanqing was quite polite, he replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter if Li Shaolang is hurt!"

"Thanks to my uncle's medicine, it's fine."

The man nodded, "My senior official asked Shaolang to go and have a discussion. I wonder if Shaolang has free time?"

"No problem! Go now?"

"The carriage is waiting outside."

Li Yanqing turned around and asked the clerk to send a message to his master and his friends, and then got on the carriage. The carriage slowly left the inn and drove towards the south of Tangyin City.

Li Kui has lived in the home of an official who retired from office in the past two days. His master's surname is Zhou. He was once a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. He has retired and returned home. His family's house is one of the best in Tangyin County.

Li Kui was idle this afternoon, so he played chess with his master in the study.

At this time, the follower reported at the door, "Report to the great official, Li Shaolang is here."

Li Kui put down the chess piece and smiled: "This time I saw a little prodigy at the boys' meeting. I am quite interested in him. Let's meet him together!"

The host knew that this was a polite word, so he stood up and said goodbye on the excuse that he had something to do.

After a moment, Li Yanqing was led into the study. He stepped forward and bowed, "Yanqing met with the great official!"

Li Kui waved his hand and smiled, "Just be casual, let's sit down and talk."

At this time, the servant brought two bowls of tea and a few colored snacks. Li Yanqing looked around, but he didn't see Xiao Niang Jiuzhen.

Li Kui understood and stroked his beard and smiled, "The little girl got a novel about weird vernacular. She has been so fascinated by reading it these two days. She has read it for the second time. She ignored her when she asked her to eat. She probably is still hiding in her room to read a book now!"

Li Yanqing apologized: "It should be my friend who gave her. The great official also met that day. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay. It's a good thing to like reading. Besides, there are snow and ice outside. I'm afraid that she will catch a cold when she goes out to play. It's just my wish to stay in the room."

Li Yanqing smiled. Although this official Li had a high position and a powerful position, his tone and friendly attitude made Li Yanqing feel the pressure of his official power, and he just felt that he was chatting with a generous elder.

Li Kui pondered for a moment and asked, "Shaolang is only six years old, and he is well-educated and well-versed in history. He can be said to be a young man. I think this should be because of the deep learning of Shaolang's family. I wonder who Lingzun is?"

This is what Li Kui is interested in Li Yanqing. What kind of father can teach such a young genius. Of course, talent is necessary, but family learning is also important. His own young daughter is the best example. He can write poetry at the age of four.

Li Yanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "My father's name is great."

‘Li Daqi!’

Li Kui felt that he seemed to have heard of this name somewhere. He had only been in Xiangzhou for two years and was not aware of the Cizhou imperial examination case back then. He had just read some archives by chance.

Li Yanqing knew that some things could not be avoided. As long as Li Kui had a little contact with local officials, he would know what his father had done in the past. Instead of letting him know it from others, it would be better to say it out by himself.
