Chapter 206 The Great Painter
Zou Ziqi, the descendant of the Yin-Yang Family, came with a clear purpose, just to defeat Su Lin's reputation. He waved a yin-Yang fan in his hand, his lips curled up slightly, and after saying hello to Su Lin, he retreated and waited for the beginning of the state examination.
Thanks to Zou Ziqi's appearance and the dialogue between him and Su Lin, the scholar candidates on the scene became active again.
"I didn't expect that Su Lin was able to attract Zou Ziqi from the Yin-Yang Family's Semi-Saint Family. This time, there was probably a good show to watch in the state examination. It was just that we ordinary scholar candidates had another strong opponent to compete for the tripod."
"Yes! There is probably one less person in the Nine Cauldron. Su Lin and Zhao Yi were originally aiming at the top of the head, but now there is another Zou Ziqi, a half-saint family. I believe that the state test will be much more exciting than the county test."
"This trip is worth it! Even if we fail the Juren exam, being able to see such a peak showdown is also a precious moment to increase our knowledge and expand our thoughts!"
"The real battle between dragons and tigers! It's very exciting..."
...
The exam started at the hour of Mao, and the time has not yet come, but the entrance of the government office is not only surrounded by candidates and scholars, but also many ordinary people and gentry and gentry who are traveling to watch the fun.
There are 67 counties in the five prefectures and seventeen prefectures in the Wu State. This time, the seventeen prefectures and courts sent scholars to participate in the state examination. The number of candidates in each prefecture is as low as thirty or forty, and there are fifty or sixty people, plus some scholar candidates who have registered scatteredly. The scale of this prefecture examination is as large as thousands.
The scholar is the second level of the Confucian scholar. After Tong Sheng tried to open the Soul of the Mansion, he further gained and trained his own thoughts. In the eyes of ordinary people, the scholar is already an unattainable height. Therefore, this time, it is indeed a rare event to see thousands of scholars competing for the tripod together.
"Sulin, the children of the semi-saint family have indeed appeared. You are now a tree that attracts wind. Although those children of the semi-saint family have no grudges with you, they will enjoy defeating the genius praised by the world. Zou Ziqi, you must be particularly careful. The magic and magical powers of the Yin-Yang family are unpredictable."
Hong Liyu whispered to Su Lin, especially pointing at the Yin-Yang fan in Zou Ziqi's hand, and said, "Especially the Yin-Yang fan in Zou Ziqi's hand, it seems to be a great scholar's literary treasure, with extraordinary power. The Yin-Yang method contained in it can even fight back and turn defeat into victory!"
"Well! The Yin-Yang two-sided fan seems a bit familiar. By the way, the last time we were in the wild fog and rain forest, we seemed to have seen Lin Wanjing use a Yin-Yang ink pen, which is also a tool of Yin-Yang family. At that time, I remember that the Yin-Yang ink pen, the black one end dies, and the white one end dies. I guess, the Yin-Yang two-sided fan is the same idea."
The higher his literary position, the deeper Su Lin's thoughts and memory are, and now he can almost never forget them. Therefore, when he heard the name of the great scholar Wenbao in Zou Ziqi's hand, Su Lin thought of the Yin-Yang ink pen in Lin Wanjing's hand.
However, Lin Wanjing's Yin-Yang Ink Pen was just a imitation of the Jinshi Wenbao. In Su Lin's opinion, it was considered a very noble Wenbao. However, compared with the great Confucian Wenbao that Zou Ziqi is holding now, it is still a witch.
Among the crowd, Zhao Yi also noticed the arrival of Zou Ziqi, a semi-saint family. During the trial, he was unwilling to lose to Su Lin. He was preparing to try the state to avenge his previous shame and completely defeat and retaliate against Su Lin. Now he found that another powerful ally came in the camp against Su Lin, and Zhao Yi was naturally happy to see this situation.
So, in order to show his friendship, Zhao Yi straightened his clothes, walked forward, and introduced himself to Zou Ziqi: "I didn't expect that Brother Zou went thousands of miles to return to the inner palace to deal with Su Lin. I am Zhao Yi, the grandson of the great scholar Zhao Xiuwen, and I am too..."
"Who you are is not my business. I don't want to know who you are. Please don't be upset in front of me!"
Before Zhao Yi could finish his words, Zou Ziqi glanced up slightly, and then no longer interested in him. He hurriedly interrupted his words and said with a look.
After being interrupted by Zou Ziqi without any respect, the smile on Zhao Yi's face also stopped abruptly and frozen there. However, he is worthy of being a child of the great Confucian family, and he still has this tolerance and demeanor. After a embarrassed smile, Zhao Yi continued to say to Zou Ziqi unwillingly:
"Brother Zou, our Zhao family and Su Lin also have an irreconcilable hatred... During the state test, we can join forces to deal with Su Lin..."
"Didn't you hear what I said? I am not interested in you, and I, Zou Ziqi, disdain to deal with anyone you have. If you want to win, you will win upright and openly. Get out of here!"
Zou Ziqi glared at Zhao Yi fiercely, and then slapped Zhao Yi on both sides of the Yin and Yang slammed Zhao Yi lightly, and a powerful storm directly flew Zhao Yi out in front of everyone.
puff!
Zhao Yi fell to the ground, and countless pairs of scholars were staring at him. As a high-ranking scholarly family in the eyes of ordinary scholars, all the superiority that Zhao Yi had accumulated in the past was completely defeated at this moment. When he looked up and saw the contemptuous eyes of other scholars at him, he felt ashamed and ashamed.
Of course, Zhao Yi was more angry and angry. He patted his butt and stood up, stared at Zou Ziqi from the half-saint family. He wanted to curse him. However, when he thought of the identity of the other family of the half-saint family and the Yin-Yang family, he felt a little guilty and had to swallow this tone.
"Tsk! Look, Zhao Yi from the Zhao family originally wanted to make friends with Mr. Zou from the semi-saint family. As a result, he was fanned out and didn't dare to let anyone go!"
"Haha! Zhao Yi knew that bullying scholars from ordinary families, and when they met the young masters of the half-saint family, they would become cowards. I thought he could defeat Su Lin in the state examination! I was wrong."
"He deserves it. None of the children of the semi-saint family are geniuses. I heard that they were sent to the wilderness by their family to experience it. How could he reach the top!"
...
"Haha! Su Lin, look at Zhao Yi, you really want to suffer. Zhao Yi went to find Zou Ziqi, probably to invite him to deal with you. But now it seems that he was not only turned away, but also lost a big face in front of so many scholars!"
Seeing this scene, it was really satisfying. Hong Liyu couldn't help laughing. Su Lin felt relieved when he saw it. Zhao Yi was extremely arrogant before and was the number one rival in Su Linzhou's test. However, now he was shot by Zou Ziqi of the semi-saint family and lost all his momentum. He could only hide in the crowd like a stray dog.
"Indeed! Li Yu, it seems that it is not a bad thing to have one or two children from the Holy Family coming. At least, I can teach all these cats and dogs a lesson for me."
Su Lin smiled and said, "But we can't relax because of this. It's time to come, and the Lord of the Palace Master Pang Shihua comes out..."
The gate of the government office slowly opened, and everyone diverted their attention and turned around to look at it with concentration. He saw a Confucian scholar wearing Hanlin clothes walking out with the prefect Pang Shihua. He looked very handsome and knew without thinking that it must have been the supervisor sent by the temple.
"This temple supervisor is very sensible, and I don't know what it is?"
"Although the main examination of the state examination is a competition for the tripod, the specific form still depends on the temple supervision. I don't know which school the main in the temple supervision student is..."
...
As the largest parent official in Jianzhou, scholarly candidates almost knew him. However, Lu Qingran, another temple supervisor examiner, was unheard of and unheard of most candidates.
Only a few scholars and candidates have heard of the reputation of the temple supervisor and recognized him.
"Haha! Interesting, I didn't expect that the Temple actually sent him out this time. I guess this time I would have to visit Mr. Lu's paintings..."
Zou Ziqi is a child of the semi-saint family, so he is naturally knowledgeable. He is familiar with all the famous Confucian scholars of the Nine Kingdoms and above. When he saw Lu Qingran, he recognized him at first sight.
"Lu Qingran? It should be him. It seems that this time, the state test must be related to painting." Zhao Yi suppressed his shame and anger just now and tried to keep a clear mind. He also recognized Lu Qingran and quickly searched all the information related to Lu Qingran in his mind, and began to constantly speculate on the content and form of the state test, and make preparations first.
"It turned out to be Old Man Lu. I must not be seen by this old man. Otherwise, I would be so annoyed when I pulled me to chatter."
Xiang Tianqing in the crowd recognized Lu Qingran, but instead shrank his head and hid, trying his best not to be discovered by Lu Qingran. It turned out that because Lu Qingran had a lot of connections with the Xiang family, Xiang Tianqing had never seen Lu Qingran visit the family in the family.
As for the two brothers of the Ran family, they laughed secretly when they saw Lu Qingran. Ran Shichang whispered to Ran Shigang: "Brother! Lu Qingran is a great painter, and he will definitely release the world in the painting during the state trial. It is a good opportunity for us to use Taoist books to kill Su Lin..."
"Sulin, I didn't expect that another unusual Confucian scholar was sent to the temple."
Hong Liyu also recognized Lu Qingran. Seeing Su Lin's confused look on his face, he explained, "The last time Liang Rulin was a Taoist Confucian scholar, and now you see that the old man who is with the provincial governor Pang Shihua is called Lu Qingran, and his major is a painter. Although he is still the peak literary position of the Hanlin Grand Secretary, he is already a famous painter in the nine countries. Once the human army entered the wilderness, with no food and water, and fell into a desperate situation. With a literary brush, Mr. Lu kept using the holy power spell of "painting cakes to satisfy hunger" to ensure the supply of food and grass for the human army..." (To be continued...)
