Chapter 91

The person Cui Xu sent to compete in archery was a member of the Cui family.

This doorman can be said to be very good at archery, and his arrows never fail.

He felt that he could definitely move back to a city this time and save the family's face.

However, Cui Xu placed high hopes on the disciples, but finally lost to Lin Xuan.

Archery in the six arts of gentlemen is actually archery in the form of performance, but in the end it depends on archery.

The disciples of the Cui family are indeed very good at archery, but they are still inferior to Lin Xuan who has integrated Zhao Yunzhi's bravery.

"The old man announces that Lin Xuan won this time." Yu Shinan said.

Lin Xuan smiled. He wasn't too surprised, so he didn't think he would lose.

Cui Xu's expression was terribly gloomy. They had already lost three games in a row.

Now it's not only that they can't get the formula of Immortal Drunkenness, but what worries him is the remaining three rounds, as long as they lose one more round, they will lose completely.

He could imagine what would happen after returning to the family if he lost the competition under his leadership.

"For the fourth match, what do you think it's like?" Yu Shinan asked.

"This time the ceremony." Cui Xu said.

Rituals are divided into five rites, namely: "auspicious" rites for sacrifices; "bad" rites for funerals; "military" rites for field hunting and military affairs; Contacts; "Jia" ceremony, used for banquets and celebrations.

The etiquette here is not the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. The Six Arts began in the Zhou Dynasty, and some etiquettes were changed in later dynasties.

The etiquette in the Six Arts is comparable to Zhou etiquette.

Cui Xu did not believe that Lin Xuan and Cheng Chumo would study Zhou Li.

And their aristocratic family will learn this since childhood.

So he has a certainty of winning this game.

This is indeed the case. Although Li Shimin sent the people in this competition, but because of the identity, it is not easy for Li Shimin to send some famous people.

"Cui Jia wins this game!" Yu Shinan announced.

After winning a round, Cui Xu's face looked a lot better.

Lin Xuan smiled lightly, as if he didn't care about winning or losing at all.

He really doesn't care, anyway, he has already won three rounds, and lost all the others, and it's just normal, I don't know what Cui Xu is so happy about.

Cui Xu was very dissatisfied with Lin Xuan's expression. Before Yu Shinan could ask, he said, "We'll have fun this round!"

Music is divided into six music, namely: "Yunmen", "Daxian", "Dashao", "Daxia", "Dalu", "Dawu" and so on.

Although the people sent by Li Shimin had great attainments in music, they still failed to win against the people from the aristocratic family.

"The Cui family wins this game!"

Li Shimin watched the game with a smile on his face, but he was already cursing in his heart.

If the person he sends wins a game, he can take the 60 guan with confidence.After all, it was the people he sent who established the victory.

Of course he will not give up the 60 guan, but he will be somewhat embarrassed.

And now it's three to two. If Lin Xuan can't win the last round, then the 60 guan will be gone.

Li Shimin was a little bit regretful, he was patronizing not to arouse the vigilance of the aristocratic family, but he didn't expect to get to this point.

"For the last round of competition, please send candidates from both sides." Yu Shinan said.

The Cui family's servants brought out two tables and put pens, inks, papers and inkstones on them.

After the maid stepped forward to finish grinding and retreated, Lin Xuan walked directly to one of the tables.

Cui Xu was overjoyed to see that Lin Xuan played in the battle. He knew that Lin Xuan was praised for his excellent poetry and calligraphy.

But the book does not only refer to calligraphy, but also includes articles.

He investigated that Lin Xuan did not write any articles, and in his opinion, Lin Xuan must not be able to write.

Lin Xuan's handwriting is good, and he created a new font, but not everyone agrees with this font.

The herringbone he sent was also well written, and in the end, the winner would be decided on the article.

Cui Xu said respectfully: "There is uncle Lao."

Everyone was shocked, could it be that person?
As soon as Cui Xu finished speaking, an old man about 60 years old came out of the side room in the garden.

When many people saw this old man, they sighed in their hearts that it was indeed him.

The old man's name is Cui Yongzhi, and he is Cui Xu's uncle according to his seniority.

Although Cui Yongzhi's reputation is not obvious, he has a high prestige among scholars.It can be called a great Confucian.

They didn't expect that the Cui family would send him over just for a competition.

Li Shimin's face was gloomy. Cui Yongzhi must have arrived long ago. He didn't go out to greet him when he arrived, but kept hiding inside. It can be said that he was completely ignored.

Cui Yongzhi saluted Li Shimin and walked to another table.

Lin Xuan looked at Cui Yongzhi curiously. Although he didn't know his identity, but judging from the expressions of other people, he should be a powerful person.

"The personnel of both parties have been decided, we can start." Yu Shinan said.

Colleagues Lin Xuan and Cui Yongzhi started writing. The article prepared by Lin Xuan was not long, and it was finished quickly.

"Master Yu, I've finished writing." Lin Xuan said loudly.

Although he felt that he should not lose this round, what if?
He deliberately said loudly that he had finished writing, just to make Cui Yongzhi affected.

However, Cui Yongzhi was not affected in the slightest, and continued to write unhurriedly.

what!
Finished so soon?What good article can be written so quickly?
Many people think that Lin Xuan should know Cui Yongzhi's identity, feel that he can't win, and give up on purpose. Anyway, he has won three rounds, even if he loses, it will be a tie.

Li Shimin also thought the same way, thinking that the 60 guan was gone like this, Li Shimin's face was very ugly.

He didn't blame Lin Xuan, even he himself didn't expect the family to be so shameless that they sent Cui Yongzhi here.

When Yu Shinan and Chu Sui heard that Lin Xuanshu had finished writing, they stepped forward.

They didn't think that Lin Xuan could write any good articles, but they were both obsessed with calligraphy and appreciated Lin Xuan's calligraphy.

"This character is well-proportioned, thin and hard, with a firm momentum. The stippling is crisp and straight, with strong bones. It's a good character, really a good character!" Yu Shinan picked up Lin Xuan's handwriting, glanced at it and couldn't help admiring.

Chu Suiliang also praised: "I didn't expect Earl Jingyang to be so good at calligraphy at such a young age. I wonder if I can give this calligraphy to the old man?"

"Bengshan, I got this word first."

Before Lin Xuan could speak, Yu Shinan quit.

Chu Suiliang twitched his beard and said, "This word belongs to the uncle of Jingyang County. You can't control whoever it is given to."

Yu Shinan stared at Lin Xuan and said, "Uncle Jingyang County, who did you give this word to?"

Lin Xuan has a big head. These two old men are over 100 years old together, so they look like children.

"My lords, I'm still competing now, can I talk about it after the competition is over?" Lin Xuan smiled wryly.

The two were taken aback for a moment, then remembered that they were still competing, and smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

They just read the words and didn't pay attention to the article at all.

Now he hastily pretended to read the article, to cover up his embarrassment just now.
