"what?"

……

……

By noon, people had arrived.Except for the central stage, there were no empty seats upstairs or downstairs.Moreover, all the people present were well-known figures in the capital, if it weren't for the grandeur of Zuixian Tower, it really wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.

Li Quan looked up and down, calculated with Yiqing for a long time, and determined that there were just 32 girls participating in the party.

Why use "just now"?

In the past, there were 30 people, but this year there are two more people. 32 fits right in with the knockout numbers.Among the content of the competition, only the chess competition needs to use the knockout system, so Li Quan is secretly happy, it seems that the previous preparations are useful!

Chapter 470: The Draw

Everyone was seated, and the Qunfang Banquet officially began.The people of each building have a table of wine and food prepared in the lobby, and those talents who are well-known in the capital are invited to sit at the same table by the girls of each building. Corner.

It is important to hold a horn well or not, but it is even more important to play a horn.

After all, poetry creation needs inspiration, and as long as the talented people at the same table can speak out to help the girl.Naturally, the more people there are, the safer it is, so each building tried its best to win over the young masters present, and the tables in each building were also full of people.

The other tables are bustling with activity, but the one at Yiju is deserted.

Li Quan, Qin Mian, and Yi Qing sat at a table and enjoyed the delicious food for more than ten people.Officials like Nangong Jinsun sat upstairs where they could see the performance more clearly.

Looking at the excitement at the other table, the two women felt a little embarrassed.Only Li Quan looked indifferent, he should eat and drink.

When I thought this was all my staff, an acquaintance appeared.

"Master Li, can I sit here?"

Master Li?Being able to reveal Li Quan's identity in one sentence made all three of them look sideways.

The other party rested one hand on the table, his posture was a little awkward, and his clothes were a little chilly, which made him look out of place in this group of banquets.

However, with such sincerity, since someone is qualified to come in, it is enough to show that the other party has this qualification.

Qin Mian and Yi Qing didn't know each other, but Li Quan was slightly taken aback in surprise!

It turned out to be Korean style!

"Why did he appear here?" Li Quan was slightly puzzled.

But what makes Li Quan even more surprised is that the current Han Feng has become more decadent than before, and it is difficult to connect with the image of the handsome young man in the past.

However, having said that, Han Feng looked decadent, but he looked more pleasing to the eye, at least not as domineering as before.

Li Quan's brows gradually relaxed: "Sit if you want."

Han Feng didn't show much expression and just sat down.

One more person is always more lively, at least it won't be so embarrassing.The two women had no objections, but were a little curious to see the face of this man.

"Master, who is this?"

Li Quan is simple and clear: "Han Feng, Mr. Han."

"Han Feng?!" Both women were shocked.

Han Feng is still a bit famous, and as a Bizhou native, he can be so famous in the capital, and he can enter the Qunfang Banquet, which can be seen as ordinary.But like Li Quan, the two women didn't realize that Mr. Han Feng and Han would look like this.

I have seen too many similar eyes, and Han Feng is not surprised. His left leg is still a little unchanged. He moved his position awkwardly, and then sighed:

"I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman at the Qunfang Banquet today, and I saw that Mr. Li's table is loose, so I came here to sit. Mr. Li came to the capital, and he was among this group of Fangfang. Could it be that this Yiju belongs to Mr. Li? "

Li Quan was about to answer when a voice came from the center of the hall:

"Another year of Qunfang Feast, another contest among a hundred schools of thought, the rules are the old rules. I believe that everyone who has come here has understood the Qunfang Banquet, so I will not repeat it again." Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, Ci, music, and dance', choose four of the eight talents, and compete with talented women today and tomorrow. Each competition is divided into 32 to [-] according to the ranking, and the rankings of the four competitions are added. It's the [-]nd to [-]th on Qunfang's spectrum. Everyone knows that the first round of competition is dance, which is an unchanging rule. The next round will be the second round of competition, and the draw will begin now."

The person who spoke was Mr. Famous Flower in Beijing.

Mr. Hua is not surnamed Hua, no one knows what his surname is.But most of the Qing courtiers in the brothels in the capital are his disciples. To put it bluntly, they are called Confucianism of girls in Hualou, so they call him Mr. Hua.

This kind of occupation was originally despised by others, but the girls in the youth building in the capital bought his face very much. No matter who saw him, they would greet him respectfully and call him "Mr."If anyone wants to say that anyone dares to be disrespectful to Mr. Hua, he will become the public enemy of the brothel girls.How many talents does Miss Qinglou know?Within a day, he would be denounced by the whole city.Therefore, even those who look down on Mr. Hua dare not say so.Since then, Mr. Hua's reputation in the capital is getting higher and higher.As one of the hosts and judges of the Qunfang Banquet, he naturally has his place.

It is said that he is watching the lottery while eating, but at this time, who still wants to eat?All saw the cardboard boxes on the stage.

Mr. Hua took out a piece of paper and read aloud: "The second round of competition is 'poetry'."

poetry!

Everyone frowned.

Poetry writing was the most common competition in ancient times, but it was also the most unpredictable competition.Because a good poem lies in the instant inspiration, and the quality of the state directly affects the performance. Looking at the famous poems in the world, they are all obtained by chance, and there is no such formal poetry competition.Therefore, in this second round of competition, no one is sure. It does not necessarily mean that those who have learned a lot will be able to write good poems, and it is not necessarily that those who are less talented will not be able to win the first place.

The girls had their own thoughts, and Li Quan looked at Qin Mian worriedly. After all, she was not the author of "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", and Li Quan was not sure about Qin Mian's poems.

"Qin Mian, what do you think of poetry?"

Qin Mian pondered: "I still don't know what the requirements are. It's hard to say now. But I still have some confidence in the poetry competition. Not to mention the first, the top five and the top three should be fine."

Before knowing the opponent's strength, Qin Mian boasted that he won the top three, so Li Quan was relieved, he knew that Qin Mian was not a bragging person.

The mind is then placed in the central carton.

Mr. Hua pulled out another ball of paper: "The third round of competition is 'painting'."

draw?

This is a topic that all girls are willing to face, because painting is the least prone to accidents, and any level can be shown, and the girls present have in-depth research on painters. With confidence, even Qin Mian was no exception.However, it is unknown who can have the last laugh in the painting competition.

When everyone was expecting Mr. Hua to draw out the last item, Mr. Hua stopped suddenly.

Mr. Hua stroked his beard with a smile: "Everyone, since the Qunfang Banquet has been held, there has never been a game of chess, so that many people have neglected to practice. Go has been passed down to this day, and it has gone through thousands of years and spanned countless dynasties. It is enduring. The so-called "Qinqi Calligraphy and Painting", the way of chess is ranked second, which shows its importance. But now it has a tendency to decline. In order to let Go be better passed down, and for the Qunfang Banquet to truly and comprehensively test your talents and learning. Therefore, In the last match, there is no need to draw, it's just a match of chess strength!"

Chess strength in the fourth round?

Although this arbitrary approach was a bit unfair, the other party spoke clearly and could not be refuted, and since the decision had been made, it proved that the judges had unanimously approved such a decision.

Hearing this last item, some families are happy and some are sad.

Most of the girls frowned, because Mr. Hua happened to hit their pain, and because they had never had a chess match in the previous Qunfang Banquet, they all took chances.So I really haven't practiced much in normal times, but now I compare it, and I don't know what to do.

Now, the mood at Li Quan's table relaxed.

Competing in chess?Really hit the mark.

Yi Qing had no choice but to give Li Quan a thumbs up: "It's still Mr. Li who has the foresight, so we can all guess it."
