Chapter 164 Checking the Flower Thief

This is a book of poetry.

Li Jin is learning how to compose poetry.

Everyone knows the main content of this test, the remaining two of the six arts are Shushu...that is, poetry and numerology.

This poem is too difficult. There is no correct answer to judge it. It all depends on the examiner's appreciation of talent and knowledge, and whether the poem he writes is consistent with the test questions. Mathematics is not bad. It is relatively simple, but not simple. It is so big. When calculating piles of numbers, one question usually requires multiple pieces of paper. The traditional Chinese characters are sorted one by one, which makes the math complicated, and the abacus is not allowed.

Li Jin didn't have much confidence in this test. Without knowing whether there was a dark horse, he knew that there was someone who could defeat him.

Su Huan.

He once suppressed all the talented people in Manfeng Tower with a poem, including him, one of the top ten talented people in the south of the Yangtze River.

In terms of numerology, according to the rumors, Su Huan can count millions by mouth, he is really a monster.

I don't know whether it's luck or sadness to have an exam with such a person at the same time.

Li Jin was already timid even before the battle, how powerless an opponent he couldn't hold up to.

The township examination is already Jie Yuan, if nothing unexpected happens, this meeting Yuan should also belong to Su Huan.

Unless Li Jin has the help of Tianwen Quxing, inspiration emerges.

"Jin'er, have you made any progress?" The Patriarch of the Li family came over. He had taken a fancy to this child since he was a child, and had great expectations for him. Li Jin did not disappoint him. One of the top ten talents in the south of the Yangtze River is Li Jin. Bring glory to the Li family.

"To my father, no."

"That's okay. According to normal performance, this Huiyuan should be available, right?" Li Family Patriarch asked.

The head of the Li family immediately looked in the direction of the ancestral hall of the inner house. "Our family of merchants is unstable after all. It would be great if we could have a number one scholar and be a Hanlin."

Li Jin hesitated a few times. "Father, I'm not sure about this year's exam."

"Huh?" Father Li turned his head. "Poor health?"

"No, because of one person."

"Su Huan?" The only thing Father Li could think of was this person.

In the provincial examination, he stole his son Jieyuan by luck.

"Yes!" Li Jin admitted generously.

"I heard that he has a bit of talent for poetry, but you are one of the top ten talents in the south of the Yangtze River. You haven't competed before, so why are you stage frightened?"

"The boy was once defeated by him." Li Jin lowered his head.

"Huh?" Father Li's expression became serious in an instant. "Why haven't I heard from you?"

"The child felt ashamed, so he didn't dare to speak."

"When and where?"

"Lin'an County, Manfenglou." Li Jin slowly recounted what happened last time.

"New Year's Day..." Father Li breathed heavily after hearing this. "...You should do your homework well."

Father Li turned and left.

"Father..." Li Jin wanted to keep something. He felt his father's disappointment in him, which was an uncomfortable feeling he had never felt before.

As time goes by, the Hangzhou government also held a Lantern Festival talent gathering during the Lantern Festival.

Talented scholars from all counties gathered together to drink and compose poems, some of them were rated as the first and became famous.

All the talented people congratulated him one after another. In this year's examination, this person will definitely be on the list.

Unfortunately, neither Li Jin nor Su Huan was able to make an appointment.

After the Lantern Festival, talented scholars from various counties went out to the capital.

For the February exam, it is better to go early, lest something happens midway and delay the exam, which will be a lifelong regret.

A great Confucianist has analyzed that this year's exam is not difficult, unlike in previous years, talents from all over the world are in the same class.

For the national examination, the key place is Jiangnan. Since ancient times, the Jiangnan area has been the place with the most successful candidates.

Since the establishment of the Daxing Dynasty, seven out of every ten number one scholars came from Jiangnan.

Therefore, it is necessary to attach great importance to Jiangnan talents.

Fortunately, Li Jin is the only talented person in Jiangnan this year, and there are few people who can compete with him in other places who participated in the examination.

Su Huan is one of them, but Su Huan only wrote one or two poems. No one knows if he bought these poems to make a boo.
You will know when you see the real test results during the exam. Go to the examination room, check your whole body, and the test questions will be given randomly, so you can't cheat at all.

Anyway, this year's test, defeating Li Jin, will basically be safe.

The matter of the champion is decided by His Majesty, and the test is on the theory. At that time, it really depends on luck to decide who wins.

Who can make it this far without arrogance, and who would feel that luck is worse than anyone else?

It's not that the difference in strength is so great that they can't be compared.

"Old Bai, don't send it off." Su Huan got into the carriage, and the carriage was more comfortable for the long-distance drive.

His carriage was modified with a shock absorber system, which was done by Mr. Qin Zhi.

Mr. Qin Zhi was sitting in the carriage carelessly. Some of his disciples were going to take part in the examination, and he wanted to go to the town hall himself.

In the Longtan and Tiger Caves of the capital, he, a teacher of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, took these students there, and many things became easier.

Su Huan, Wang Qian, and Zhang Shou are going to take the exam this time.

Only Chen Youtu had passed the imperial examination a few years ago and was a tribute scholar.

He was also in the carriage, going to help his junior brother calm down.

Almost all Huaizhi Academy set off.

The shock absorber system of the carriage works very well, and Mr. Qin Zhi sits very comfortably without the stiff feeling before.

On the official road to the capital.

Several government officials held portraits in their hands and stopped every passing carriage to examine them carefully.

"Check the flower-picking thief."

A not-so-good-looking woman, but a little bit pretty, was sitting on the chair next to her. Whenever a car passed by, she would cry. This phenomenon had been going on for three days.

Just on the roadside where the flower thief was being investigated, more than 40 masked men were hiding in the grass nearby.

They seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.

"Sir, there is someone blocking the car ahead."

"Let's take a detour."

"Sir, the front is the only way to the capital."

Mr. Qin Zhi's voice came from the carriage.

"Then let's go over there, and take care of it if necessary."

"Yes, sir." The butler outside the car nodded.

drive!
"Stop, check the flower picker."

"The official is joking, our car is all the masters who are going to the capital to rush for the exam, so there are no robbers picking flowers." The housekeeper took out a few taels of silver. "I also hope that the official will be more accommodating, so that it will be convenient for laymen to go out."

"Presumptuous! What are you doing?"

Mr. Qin Zhi in the car heard the sound of drawing a knife.

"The officer has something to say."

"Strictly investigate according to the law and prohibit bribery."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Everyone in the car got off."

Someone outside the car was shouting.

As a student, Su Huan was present with Mr. Qin Zhi, so naturally it was not up to him to decide. All the students looked at Mr. Qin Zhi.

Mr. Qin Zhi is a great scholar, he opened his eyes. "Don't embarrass other officials, just go down."

"Yes, sir."

All the students got off the bus one after another.

The official took the portraits and compared them carefully.

There was not just one portrait, but several, among which were the portraits of Su Huan and Mr. Qin Zhi, Wang Qian and others were also listed.

The officer closed the portrait, walked to another officer, and leaned into his ear not knowing what to say.
