The fake eunuch who lurked in the palace

"Brother-in-law, Xu Jiaojiao's face is livid with anger." Sheng Yuanshi said cheerfully.

If Li Yi hadn't stopped him, he would have gone up and slapped Xu Jiaojiao hard.

On weekdays, most of the sarcastic comments about his sister came from Xu Jiaojiao.

She and his sister had not been on each other since childhood, and there were often rumors behind his back that his sister was a fox.

It's really disgustingly tight.

“A gentleman speaks with words but never with hands. He wants to make people angry rather than be angered by them.”

"The most important thing is to kill the heart." Li Yi said slowly.

Over the past few days, he had figured out what happened between Wen Heng and Yun Niang.

It's nothing more than a man and a woman who eloped. The man abandoned the woman for the sake of his future and married Bai Fumei.

A little different from those heartless people, Wen Heng still has feelings for Yun Niang, which Li Yi discovered when he first met him.

It is normal for Xu Jiaojiao to criticize her like crazy because her husband always has another woman hidden in his heart.

But she was so angry that she turned to Wen Heng and fired bullets at Yun Niang. Why, you are so picky?

It’s true that women love to embarrass women.

Even if she forced Yun Niang to commit suicide, could Wen Heng just turn around and fall in love with her?

Instead of grabbing the husband's heart, he sprinkles salt and fire on a woman who has been harmed.

I don't understand what's going on in these people's heads.

"Brother-in-law, I have to learn from you."

This feeling is really enjoyable.

While talking, they arrived at the entrance examination platform.

Li Yi drew the word plum blossom, which made him use plum blossom as the title of his poem.

When it comes to writing poetry, it's not Li Yichui. He really doesn't know how to...

But outstanding ancestors always cherish their descendants.

Under the coercion of the teacher, it is difficult for you to memorize those ancient quatrains.

Time and space are different. Li Yi is not worried about getting in the way. In addition, he is thick-skinned, so copying poems has no burden on him.

Li Yi took up his pen and copied a plum poem by Wang Anshi.

"There are several plum blossoms in the corner, and Ling Han is blooming alone. I know it's not snow from a distance, because there is a faint fragrance."

After finishing writing, Li Yi looked around and saw that there were so many people. At a glance, he saw that there were all heads behind him.

According to Sheng Yuanshi, half of the people in the Imperial Academy were brought over to read poems at the entrance examination platform.

If the venue wasn't big enough, it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people.

After all, for this national event, people from other places besides Jian'an also came.

Because hundreds of people reviewed the sign, they didn't have to wait long at the admission desk.

It's not difficult to get five points, just a little bit of skill.

Of course, if Li Yi was allowed to write his own poem, people would crush his poem into pieces and then wave him away.

"Brother-in-law, your poems are so good, why has my sister never mentioned it?"

"When I ask her, she usually avoids talking about it." Sheng Yuanshi pushed Li Yi and chatted.

"Neither your sister nor I like to show off." Li Yi's tone was calm and calm, and his pussy was full.

Yun Niang always thought that he was no better than an illiterate person, and it would be weird if he could mention it. If he got a fortune and Sheng's father asked him to show off, the scene would be silent with birds flying over.

The examination hall is larger than the examination platform, comparable to a manor.

It's really not easy to find someone in the crowd.

However, Li Yi didn't plan to find Yun Niang.

He came here mainly to make his name known to the world.

There are so many people, measured in tens of thousands, so don’t expect to let you perform one by one.

How long will it take?

There is a large vertical board about every two hundred meters. When the gongs and drums sound at 3:30, the Dengke Poetry Meeting officially begins.

A poem has a title and a stick of incense. Once it is written, it is posted on the vertical board.

There are only thirty positions on each stand, and there are a total of thirty risers in the venue.

Those who didn’t post the poem can leave now.

The poems written perfunctorily, and those with less than five points or more posted upwards will be escorted and expelled by the defenders.

In the first game, a large number of people can be eliminated.

The competition is quite fierce.

Not only does it have to be done quickly, but it also has to be of good quality.

Li Yi arrived not too early or too late. There were still two quarters of an hour before the gongs and drums were played. He and Sheng Yuanshi went to get the paper. It was about the size of a modern book and had a plum blossom pattern at the bottom.

Unify the paper to prevent cheating.

There was a boy from a rich family who bought poems. He was very generous and placed an order for dozens of poems. While others were thinking about it, he directly found one with a similar title and posted it on the vertical board.

This kind of behavior undoubtedly makes people angry, and cheating is cheating, but this attitude is too lax. No matter what, you have to memorize it, and you can't treat everyone as blind.

Unifying the paper prevents people from using prepared poem manuscripts. Copying takes time, and the memorization requires not being familiar enough. When you are nervous, you may forget it, which makes the competition a little bit fair.

A few months before the Dengke Poetry Fair began, the price of poetry in various places was so high.

Li Yidu suspected that this was the meaning of the Dengke Poetry Society, so that poor scholars could take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune and support their families.

Paper is provided, but you bring your own pen and ink. Not only that, there are no tables provided on the venue. There are already so many people, so how can we squeeze them in if we add tables.

Just figure it out on your own.

The handwriting is too ugly and unclear. Even if you put it on the vertical board, the guards will remove it for you.

If he hadn't practiced calligraphy for a long time under Lu Li's force, Li Yi would have suspected that it was aimed at him.

"Yuan Shi, push me to get a good position."

His legs and feet are not convenient, so he can't outrun anyone in a fight.

Naturally, the closer to the vertical board the better.

"Give, give way..."

"Why is there a cripple here?" Someone in the crowd made an unhappy sound, and was immediately covered by the people around him.

"Don't talk nonsense. That is the son-in-law of Shanda Ren, the Minister of Household Affairs. A while ago, the Councilor of the Department of General Affairs ridiculed Miss Sheng and her husband as being incompatible with each other. She was smashed by Shanda's head."

"The Sheng family is very angry."

Hearing this, the voices of everyone cursing suddenly stopped.

The Councilor of the General Affairs Department was defeated, and they, who had no official positions, had no scruples.

Ten meters away from the vertical board, the guards set up a barrier and took it away only after the gongs and drums sounded.

Li Yi didn't stop until he was across the line.

The seats were occupied, and the next step was to wait for the poetry meeting to begin.

For a national event like this, which showcases the country's abundant talents and vitality, the royal family will certainly not restrict people from watching it.

Outside the admission hall, people gathered in circles.

Everyone stretched their necks and looked into the field. Most of them saw not poetry but the excitement.

Affected by the atmosphere, they are all looking forward to the leader of today's poetry meeting. When they go back, they will have something to talk about.

Seeing that it was less than a quarter of an hour before the third quarter, the emperor came with hundreds of officials in order to show that he was close to the people.

They don't need to put their feet up to watch. Tables, chairs, tea and fruit have been prepared early in the morning.

"Your Majesty, Princess Xiangyu said she is not feeling well and is not coming over." A eunuch whispered in the emperor's ear.

"Send some medicinal materials over there." The emperor glanced at the people outside the examination hall, and ordered the eunuch with a smile on his face.

His imperial sister was not feeling well and didn't want to join in the fun.

It's getting really quiet.
