happy life through time

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Li Sheng, the head of the Li family on the stage, picking up a pen and writing a couplet in a heroic manner: No other distractions, the magpie bridge also crosses lovesickness;

Fifty gifted scholars in the audience, each standing at a table, some thinking with a pen, some frowning slightly, some deep in thought, and some directly wrote the next couplet.

Li Maoran said: "This time, Master Shen is modest and let me write the test, then I will write the test for him to test you."

Master Shen nodded with a smile, and many students also looked at each other, but they soon regained their composure.

Then Li Dashi came to the stage and wrote the first couplet: the bright moon is bright, the white dew is round, the oxen are crossing the water, the emperor and the daughter stop the shuttle, and the star bridge is bright and magpie.

After finishing writing, Li Dashi said again: "Master, the old man is not in good health. I will write his Shanglian for Master. Don't be surprised!"

Everyone said, "It's all right." "You're welcome." Wait, then Master Li glanced at an old man among the judges. The old man had a white beard like a willow beard and was full of energy. Demeanor, for some reason, Tong Yan thought of what Li Dashi said, and suddenly felt that this expert was not like an old urchin as he had heard, but felt that it was unpredictable, and he didn't think about Li Dashi's words.

Li Maoran wrote Dai Qianhong's first couplet on the stage: Sparse stars and remnant dreams, shadows in the fairyland, strands of lovesickness by the Tianhe River.

This pair is really unusual.

Not to mention the 50 people on the stage, even the people off the stage were engrossed in thinking.

But how could the people in the Qixi Festival be unprepared? Even if such a difficult match suddenly appeared, there were still people who could match it.

There is a time limit for the pair, because it is impossible to spend the whole night in the competition meeting, and there is not much time to think about it, so everyone has only half an hour to deal with it. If it exceeds this time Those who have not yet matched are considered eliminated.

Those who can complete the task have to be screened to see whether their literary talent, rhyme and rhyme are neat and suitable, and the top ten are selected as candidates for the semi-finals.

Tong Yan thought for a while, thought hard for a long time, and wrote down his three couplets:

There is a liking for something, and the couple will also pass on their affection.

Su Xin is secluded, the Milky Way is faint, swan geese pass on books, fish paper expresses hatred, and tears are full of tears.

In the light of the moon and the sky, silver men in autumn gather and disperse every year in this night.

Half an hour has passed, and people have handed in their second couplets one after another.

Some people shook their heads and sighed, returning disappointed, while others were full of energy, looking forward to the next comment and being appreciated.

During the whole process, the surrounding area was very quiet. Even though there were many people at this time, most of them consciously kept quiet.

Until the review and discussion are completed, the top ten will be selected to enter the semi-finals.

During the judging process, everyone started to discuss and guess who was the winner, but when they saw Tong Yan, everyone guessed who he was?Which family is the talent?

Some people who knew Tong Yan replied one after another: "He is here to study. He just moved to Anle County a few months ago, and he seems to be planning to enter Hengshan Academy."

"Hmph, is it so easy to enter Hengshan Academy? Don't even think about who you are?"

"Don't say that. I heard that Tong Yan is quite talented. By the way, I heard that he also made friends with a student from Hengshan Academy. What's his name? By the way, his name is Jing Jiutong! He also made good friends with Mr. Zheng, the direct disciple of Dean Dai."

"How is it possible, just rely on him? Huh, don't listen to rumors, don't look at who you are, dare to say such things! As for Jing Jiutong? He is just a poor family, I thought who it was What? What's the big deal!"

"Brother Shen, although this Jing Jiutong came from a poor family, he is quite knowledgeable. You see, he is already one of the 50 people, isn't he?"

"As a student of Hengshan Academy, if you can't even enter the preliminary round, you will lose the face of Hengshan Academy!"

Everyone looked at Shen Xianxing and thought to themselves that you are also a student of Hengshan Academy, didn't you not enter the top [-]?But in the end they stopped talking.

There are three aristocratic families in Anle County, namely the Zhang family, the Shen family, and the Li family.

The Zhang family and the Li family are both in Anle County. The Shen family in Anle County is just a branch of the Shen family of the big family in the capital, but even if it is just a branch, it still ranks first in Anle County. Anyone will save some face for the Shen family.

Everyone knows that Shen Xianxing looks down on children from poor families very much, but now, two children from poor families have entered the top [-], of course he is indignant.

Seeing that everyone ignored him, Shen Xianxing didn't bother to talk anymore, but took out the notebook in his hand to read.

On the cover of the story book, it is impressively written: Volume Four of "Myths and Legends of the Great Desolation".

Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the pairs in the competition competition, guessing who would be able to enter the semi-finals. Afterwards, Patriarch Li finally announced the answer.

Tong Yan is also a little nervous. In fact, these couplets are already in his memory, so he is also very confident, but he is still nervous.

After the final results were announced, Tong Yan entered the top three, Sun Shaoqiang was second, and Nangong Xiaochen was first.

For a while, the names of Tong Yan and Nangong Xiaochen spread among the talented scholars, because this was the first time that unfamiliar names appeared in Anle County.

Sun Shaoqiang is a student of Hengshan Academy, with profound talents and knowledge. He is preparing to take the provincial examination in August. He just came here to relax and prepare for the examination.

But unexpectedly, No.1 was snatched by Nangong Xiaochen.

Nangong Xiaochen, no one knows him, but the surname Nangong is shocking. Could it be the Nangong family in the capital?

As for Tong Yan, a child from a poor family, he didn't care much.

"Oh, this time, your Hengshan Academy doesn't seem to be very strong!"

The owner of the Li family next to him said to Dai Qianhong: "I really didn't expect that No. 1 actually belonged to the Nangong family. Tell me, could it really be the Nangong family in the capital?"

The old god Dai Qianhong stroked his beard on the ground, smiling, but didn't speak.

It was Patriarch Shen who answered Patriarch Li's words: "Is there any other family whose surname is Nangong? From his accent, he seems to be from the capital."

"It's not surprising to say that. The Nangong family is also the largest family. It is not difficult to teach an outstanding child, but who is this Tong Yan? It seems that I have never heard of it?"

"Tong Yan, I haven't heard of it... This is strange, how can such a talented person be unknown?"

"Okay, okay, whoever he is, how good he is against the pair, it depends on the performance below." Dai Qianhong suddenly said, squinting his eyes, and glanced in Tong Yan's direction, this is his bastard apprentice Tong Yan in the mouth?Mr. Dongshu?What a talent!

Tong Yan didn't know that his existence had attracted the attention of several old people, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

There was one person, but Tong Yan had to care about him.

Over there is No.1 in the preliminary round: Nangong Xiaochen.

Nangong Xiaochenchu ​​looks handsome and impressive.There is always an air of nobility in every action, and every action seems to have a family demeanor, standing out from the crowd, with a pair of leisurely eyes.Tong Yan cares about him because, following his gaze, you can find that he has been looking at Liu Dafu, and he is always trying to get close to Liu Dafu, which makes Tong Yan feel very strange, but seeing how Liu Dafu treats him He simply ignored it, and Tong Yan felt much more at ease.

Liu Dafu hid in the crowd, with an outstanding appearance and a tall stature, so he easily attracted the attention of others.

But because Liu Dafu was always on the sidelines, everyone's attention was on the competition meeting, so no one paid attention to him, only this Nangong Xiaochen.

Nangong Xiaochen seemed to know Liu Dafu, and when he saw Liu Dafu several times, he was hesitant to speak.

Tong Yan doesn't know if Liu Dafu recognizes this person, because Dafu has lost his memory, but this Nangong Xiaochen seems to know him, Tong Yan decides to approach him to try, maybe he can know Liu Dafu's past, he also wants to know Liu Dafu past.

With such a purpose in mind, Tong Yan nodded towards Nangong Xiaochen, Nangong Xiaochen also noticed Tong Yan, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, finally nodded and walked towards Tong Yan.

"Hi, my name is Tong Yan. Seeing Brother Nangong's extraordinary momentum, Tong Yan admires him and wants to get acquainted with him." Tong Yan bowed his hands to him, and said with a smile: "After the essay meeting is over, I wonder if Brother Nangong will have time to meet with you. Have a glass of wine?"

Nangong Xiaochen glanced at Liu Dafu, and finally nodded: "Okay."

Tong Yan looked at Nangong Xiaochen, before he figured out the situation, he had better take a look first.

"Brother Nangong is from another place, right? Judging from your accent, it seems that you are not from Anle County."

"Well, the capital."

"The capital? Could it be the Nangong family in the capital?"

"Jingcheng, are there other people with the surname Nangong?" Nangong Xiaochen looked at Tong Yan and asked.

Tong Yan smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't expect to be from the Nangong family. I'm really lucky."

Nangong Xiaochen smiled faintly, but there was not much smile in her eyes, she just nodded her head as an answer to Tong Yan's words.
