Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

Suddenly a call sounded in Wang Jie's ear, and Li Yongchang was looking at him with a worried expression.

"Brother Wang, are you okay?"

"I saw you standing here as if in a daze. I called you several times and didn't answer. I thought something happened to you."

After Wang Jie came back to his senses, he felt that his back was wet with sweat, and he couldn't help feeling terrified.

At the same time, he secretly scolded himself for being dizzy, thinking of wooing Li Yongchang in this Furong Garden.

Really well done.

The one in Furong Garden didn't kill him directly, it was already giving Langya Wang's face.

Wang Jie suppressed the fear in his heart, looked at Li Yongchang at the side, and said with a stiff smile:

"Thank you brother Yongchang for your concern. I'm fine. I just suddenly remembered that there are still things to deal with at home. I need to leave a little earlier. Please forgive me, brother Yongchang."

After Wang Jie finished speaking, regardless of Li Yongchang's strange expression, he left in a hurry without looking back. .

Chapter 113

"What's the matter, sister Yu'er, but what happened?"

In Furong Garden, in an exquisite small building in the inner garden, Yang Ruoyuan looked at the woman who suddenly frowned, and couldn't help asking.

The woman's complexion is clear and gorgeous, just like a lotus emerging from water.

Perhaps it should not be called a woman, but a girl.

The girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pair of bright eyes on Wushuang's face, clear and clear, shining like stars, smiling like a crescent moon, as if the aura overflowed, indescribably beautiful.

The girl suddenly frowned, as if she had encountered something bothering her.

"It's nothing, it's just an idiot who wants to win Qingzhou scholars in Furong Garden."

"If it wasn't for the face of their Wang family ancestors, this lady would have slapped him to death."

Hearing Yang Ruoyuan's question, the girl frowned, waved her jade-like hand, and said indifferently.

When Yang Ruoyuan heard the words, she stopped asking and continued to chat about other things.

She naturally said that her close friend in the boudoir had an extraordinary background.

Although she seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, her identity is very mysterious. The grandfather at home has repeatedly told her to be careful not to offend the girl.

That is to say, the two people's personalities are compatible, otherwise, even if he is the direct daughter of the Yang family in Qingzhou, he is probably not qualified to be friends with the girl, and they are called sisters.

To be honest, Yang Ruoyuan only knew that her good friend was named Bai Yu'er, who came from outside the world of immortals, and was more interested in scholars.

Little else is known.

It's just that Yang Ruoyuan can vaguely guess from the usual contact and the words of the elders in the family.

Bai Yu'er is not a human race.

Furthermore, the other party's status is noble and his strength is extremely strong, which can be described as unfathomable.

Beyond that, it's not very clear.

"Miss, some scholars in the outer garden have already finished their poems, would you like to read them?"

While Yang Ruoyuan was chatting with Bai Yu'er, a little maid in a green skirt came in with some poems.

"Oh, so fast?"

"Bring it here first, let me and sister Ruoyuan take a look at it together."

"I only hope that there will be a few talents in this poetry meeting."

After Bai Yu'er heard the little maid's words, she forcibly raised her spirits and sighed quietly.

To be honest, she is the least interested in poetry and songs.

But what task is in the body, and I have to read it.

Fortunately, Yang Ruoyuan's appearance greatly relieved her pressure and made her feel much more relaxed.

Otherwise, if she was allowed to read poems and articles by herself, it would definitely kill her.

There are not many scholars who are eligible to enter the Furong Garden, and the assessment of this poetry meeting is only for the scholars outside the garden.

Therefore, there are not many poems and articles in the hands of the little maid, only about 23 copies.

Yang Ruoyuan and Bai Yu'er glanced at most of the poems and articles, and immediately sentenced them to death.

There are only three or five copies that can really catch their eyes.

Among them, Chen Qi's "Butterfly Flying", was also very lucky to pass the test, and was included in the three or five copies.

"That's right, that's right, this time the poetry meeting is much stronger than the last one, and five people can actually pass the test' '."

"Especially this song "Butterflies Flying", not to mention the unique point of view, the spiritual thoughts contained in it are also extremely strong, much better than those poems that are gorgeous and forcibly piled up with words, it can be listed as the first."

"Xiaoqing, you bring five of them to the inner garden, and let the scholars of the inner garden pass the assessment together. If they pass the assessment, then give them a qualification to enter the inner garden."

Bai Yu'er put down the poems and articles in her hands, and a smile appeared on her face.

They have their own set of standards for judging whether the poems and articles pass the test, the most important of which is the spiritual thoughts contained in the poems and articles.

This kind of spiritual idea is called Wenqi in the outside world.

For example, when Li Bai wrote the same article "Will Enter the Wine", it is definitely written with excellent style, which can attract many spirits, monsters, and even monks to admire and stare at it.

However, if someone else plagiarized it, then it is just an ordinary poem.

To put it bluntly, the so-called literary qi is a simplified version of awe-inspiring righteousness.

And the articles that contain literary spirit are the low-profile version of the Confucian copybook.

The judging criteria of the Furong Garden Poetry Club is definitely not based on how gorgeous your poems are written, but whether your poems contain literary spirit.

If it contains literary spirit, it means that you have literary spirit and have the potential to become a great Confucian.

Not polite?

So sorry, no matter how good your poems and articles are, it is impossible to pass.

On the contrary, the better your poetry and essays are, the more it can prove that you have problems.

After all, it is impossible to write an article that can be passed down through the ages if the author does not have deep insights and emotions when creating it.

If you write an eternal article without the slightest feeling of emotion, do you think you have any problems?

Did you plagiarize someone else's work?

This is just like the works of Great Confucianism. The copybooks written by Great Confucianism with great energy are naturally Great Confucian copybooks, and every word is worth a thousand dollars.

However, your great Confucian copybook is used as a template, and the copybooks printed in batches with printed plates, even if the words and fonts inside are exactly the same, do you think this kind of copybook can suppress demons and make ghosts and gods stay away?

Thinking with your toes, you know it's impossible.

Such is the awe-inspiring righteousness of the Great Confucianism.

The same is true of the style of literati.

It's just that one is a high-end version and the other is a low-end version.

When Chen Qi created "Butterflies Flying", although he didn't deliberately use awe-inspiring righteousness, he also created it by himself, injecting his own feelings and perceptions into the writing.

Therefore, the rice paper on which "Butterfly Flying" is written naturally contains a strong literary spirit.

After all, he is also a great Confucianist of the second rank of Confucianism and Taoism. Even if he shows a little emotion, he is much stronger than ordinary scholars.

Similarly, the writing style in the copybook is more than one level stronger than that of other scholars.

So much so that his "Butterflies Flying" may not be the best in terms of diction, but it was still rated as the first in this poetry meeting by Bai Yuer.

"." Sister Yu'er wait a minute! "

Just when Bai Yu'er ordered the servant girl Xiaoqing to let her take Chen Qi and five people into the inner garden to accept the assessment by the celebrities in the inner garden, Yang Ruoyuan who was at the side suddenly stopped her.

She picked up Chen Qi's "Butterflies Flying", and said with a wry smile: "Sister Yu'er, you can just let the other four people enter the inner garden to accept the assessment of the famous scholars in the inner garden, and my cousin doesn't need it."

"Your cousin?"

Bai Yu'er was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and then asked curiously, "Why?"

Although Chen Qi is Yang Ruoyuan's cousin, Bai Yu'er doesn't think this is the reason why Chen Qi doesn't enter the inner garden to accept the assessment by celebrities.

After all, if Chen Qi really passed the assessment of the celebrities in the Inner Garden, then he might use this to become famous in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture, and it is not impossible to become the fifth outstanding person in Qingzhou.

Bai Yu'er believes that this is an irresistible temptation for any scholar.

Because, as long as you are famous, you are no longer an ordinary scholar, but a celebrity.

Naturally, the benefits of becoming a famous person need not be mentioned too much. It is not just that you can speak with more weight, be more convincing, and be more respected and respected by others.

The biggest advantage of becoming a celebrity is that you can directly enter to become an official of the Tang Dynasty through many channels such as court recruitment and recommendation by local officials.

For any literati, this is an unimaginable temptation to reach the sky in one step.

So Bai Yu'er didn't think that Chen Qi would refuse such an opportunity.

Yang Ruoyuan smiled wryly when she heard the words, and said hello in a faint tone.

"Sister Yu'er, my younger sister is not willing to let my cousin become a celebrity in Qingzhou, but the celebrities in the inner garden of Furong Garden are not qualified to evaluate my cousin at all.".

Chapter 114

what?

The celebrities in the inner garden are not qualified for the assessment?

After hearing Yang Ruoyuan's words, Bai Yu'er was slightly taken aback, and couldn't believe her ears.

But she quickly realized and asked, "Could it be that Yuaner, your cousin is a celebrity from another state capital?"

Yang Ruoyuan shook her head and said, "My cousin is from Qingzhou Prefecture, from a small family in Qingyang County, Qingzhou Prefecture."

"Then your cousin has already become an official and has been reused by the Tang court?" Bai Yu'er continued to ask.
