There was silence in the square.
Although everyone had some doubts, no one expected that Lu Lifeng, a great scholar from Longshou Prefecture who was Mr. Wan Lin's former disciple, would stand up at this time and question Mr. Linxi's authority.
Lu Rusong's expression suddenly changed. If he hadn't seen the prince sitting in front of everyone, he would have wanted to rush up and stop Lu Daru.
What are you doing! This is only the first level, and it’s not like I’m knocking you down, you’re still second, so why bother offending three old gentlemen!
But he didn't know that Lu Lifeng was not reckless.
As a disciple of Mr. Wan Lin, he clearly knew the conduct of the three gentlemen. If they had any questions, they would appreciate them more if they asked them openly and openly rather than hiding them. That's why he acted like this.
And just as he expected, Mr. Linxi was not angry, but nodded slowly, "If you have any questions, just ask. I won't blame you, and I will answer it for you."
As he spoke, he swept towards the field and said, "I guess many of you here have this question, right?"
Many people in the crowd nodded hesitantly, and Mr. Linxi looked at Lu Lifeng, "There are two reasons why your answer is inferior."
"One. When you see the virtuous, think about them. When you see the virtuous, you should introspect yourself. This sentence is concise and concise. It is like the small words of the sages and the great meaning. It is a golden and good saying that everyone can take as a warning. It is also in line with the old man's question. Whether classmates are studying or gathering in a group. Living the day, going back to the basics, is just to think about the good when you see them, and to reflect on yourself when you see the unworthy! Therefore, this sentence has a higher intention and is more appropriate."
"Second. Your answer is indeed thoughtful, but it is based on you as the answerer. Prince Linjiang simply cannot do it. Then your answer will naturally be reduced as appropriate. With this explanation, you Can you believe it?"
Lu Lifeng recalled his answer, "If you know how valuable you are, you will think about self-respect and self-reliance." Is there anyone more noble than a prince or a prince among his classmates? Does he still need to remind himself not to be flattery but to maintain his self-respect and independence?
"If you think about food and clothing, think about nothing but peace of mind." Can a majestic prince really live in the same clothes and eat as his classmates without any honor at all?
So he stood up convinced, handed over his hands and apologized, "Student is reckless, I hope you will forgive me."
Mr. Linxi nodded slightly, "It doesn't matter."
Lu Lifeng was sincerely convinced, but the British father was a little unhappy.
How could this be the case that too many words were said and too many mistakes were made? I made one or two mistakes on my end, but what about the others? Isn’t that bad?
How come Shi Si's literary talent is worse than Xia Jingyun's sentence?
You said that a small statement means a great meaning, but if I break it down into ten small words, wouldn't it become a great meaning?
Not only him, but also some people in the seats watching the ceremony felt a little unfair.
"The answer given by Prince Jiaodong is indeed good, but I still like the answer given by Prince Linjiang better. It really expresses the voice of my generation of students. After all, I think deeply and consider the world. How meticulous and domineering it is." ah!"
"That's it, what a sage says, but it means a lot. The more I say it, the more I think Prince Linjiang's answer is better!"
"Isn't this just an official statement? You ask a question, but they don't give you a specific and detailed strategy. They just give you a rough idea. Anyway, you can figure it out yourself."
"Only incompetent people do this! If you are really capable, you should write it down in detail like Lu Daru did. Of course, I am not saying that Mr. Xia is incompetent, but he is really tricky in this level."
"Indeed, I also feel that Mr. Xia is indeed taking advantage of this."
"Why are you trying to take a trick? I asked you guys, can you be more conscientious when you speak, and save some face by the way?"
While several people were talking, Xu Dapeng couldn't stand listening any more, so he directly retorted, "What's the matter, do you think you are more talented and knowledgeable than the three old gentlemen? Are you more knowledgeable? Doesn't it show that you are capable? You are so powerful, You go and ask the three old gentlemen to get up, and you go up and sit down!"
Several people blushed with shame, and some couldn't help but defend weakly: "I didn't say anything wrong with Mr. Xia, I just said that he was a little trickster."
"A trick? Do you think that trick is so easy to find? Do you think it is so easy to put so much truth into a few words? If you are so dissatisfied, why don't you do it?"
Seeing the stunned looks of several people, Xu Dapeng snorted coldly and said with a disdainful look on his face: "It's still a trick! Did you get it if I asked you to use a trick?"
It had nothing to do with them, and everyone looked sympathetically at those guys who couldn't control their mouths. They said no one in front of Xu Boyi, but Mr. Xia. Now it's better, they were caught by Mr. Xia's number one fan. Staying here is a meal of output.
But whether it is easy or not is a matter of benevolence and wisdom. There are not a few people who have the same idea as those guys, but they don't say it out as stupidly as they did.
In the square below, Dongfang Bai's talent and knowledge were not enough for him to have the same thoughts as the others. He only knew that his uncle was really amazing and he could win this way.
He turned his head and raised his little face, secretly giving a thumbs up.
Xia Jingyun smiled, "It doesn't matter whether you can get started in the end, but I hope you can remember what I said just now and follow it. That is the answer you wrote yourself."
"When you see the virtuous, think about them; when you see the ungrateful, you should introspect yourself!" Xia Jingyun's words made Dongfang Bai have some different thoughts in his heart. He recited it softly and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, uncle! I will remember it. "
Xia Jingyun smiled, and at this moment Mr. Kongbi's rough voice sounded.
"Next, second question."
The people who were talking about each other immediately sat upright, and the solemn and quiet atmosphere spread again.
Before Mr. Kongbi spoke, Lu Lifeng, who had never regarded Xia Jingyun as his opponent before, couldn't help but turn his head and glance to the side, only to find that Xia Jingyun was calmly looking at the stage and not looking at him.
His heart suddenly moved, and he immediately felt a little self-deprecating. What happened to him? He was taken advantage of by others and lost his mood.
Thinking of this, he sat upright again, waiting for the next question with a calm heart and strong self-confidence.
"Since you want to join our sect, take us as your teacher, and study, my question is, how do you view your teacher and how you treat your teacher?"
No one was surprised when the question was raised this time. It seemed that the three old gentlemen all followed this path.
However, with their knowledge, they can naturally see what they want from the answers to ordinary questions.
Mr. Kongbei glanced at the entire audience, "As usual, please give your answers in a quarter of an hour!"
clang!
A clear bell rang.
Everyone in the venue quickly picked up their pens. Dongfang Bai was not in a hurry at first, thinking that his uncle would sit still as before. Unexpectedly, Xia Jingyun immediately picked up his pen.
He quickly sat up and wanted to get a pen, but Xia Jingyun said: "Xie'er, you are watching from the side. My uncle will write the answer this time himself."
Dongfang Bai was self-conscious and saw Xia Jingyun pick up the pen and write the first sentence on the paper:
【Ancient scholars must have teachers. 】
In the stands where the dignitaries were sitting, Lu Rusong took a cup of tea and took a leisurely sip. He looked at Xia Jingyun who was writing in a hurry and chuckled: "I thought he was going to be opportunistic again!"
The entourage on the side laughed along with him, "Looking at the way he was in a hurry, I guess he knew that he had just earned a disgrace and wanted to save face on this issue!"
Lu Rusong smiled lightly, "When it comes to poetry, he does have some ability, but when it comes to the true path of literature, he is definitely not as good as Mr. Lu. Some things, without accumulation and experience, are like water without roots. There are castles in the air, but there is no way to produce good articles.”
The prince also sat upright, his eyes naturally swept across the field, and finally stopped on Xia Jingyun, who was writing furiously.
He also felt that this person was interesting. When he asked the question before, everyone else was writing long essays in a eloquent manner. He had to wait until the end before he started writing. But when it came to this question, he felt as if he couldn't wait to answer it. He wrote hurriedly, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to make it in time. .
It looks like I’m going to make a big article.
The prince thought like this and shook his head slightly. Articles are not as good as poems. It is not easy to write well, not to mention that there is a great scholar from Longshou State competing with him.
But it doesn't matter, if one person wins a game, and both of them become disciples of the Three Masters of Tushan, or neither of them become the disciples of the Three Masters of Tushan, it will be beneficial to him.
Thinking of this, he picked up the cup and took a leisurely sip.
Xu Dapeng was also looking at Xia Jingyun's serious writing from a distance, gently bumped Xu Jiaoyu's arm next to him, and whispered: "Jiaoyu, what do you think about Gao Yang's behavior?"
Xu Jiaoyu knitted his brows, lowered the corners of his mouth, with a worried look on his face. But before he could speak, the man who had just been speechless spoke up, "Didn't some people just swear and be confident? What's going on now?" Are you afraid of yourself first?"
The number one troll, Xu Dapeng, was not afraid, and immediately turned around and glared, "Who said he was afraid? I mean, if Gao Yang wins again this time, can he convince you stubborn people like you?"
"whispering sound!"
A disdainful sneer sounded, and someone immediately said: "Brother, first of all, we have no objection to Mr. Xia. We are all grateful for his kindness in the previous chaos in the states, but as scholars, we will not let others ruin things. , one code after another, do you really think he can beat Mr. Lu without using any tricks?"
"In Xia Longshou Prefecture, I raised my son Ji Boting, who has a strong character. Mr. Lu is my chief literary officer in Longshou Prefecture. His poems, essays, and poems are all the same. He has studied classics and history very deeply. Mr. Xia is indeed good, but compared to Mr. Lu Still like cloud mud.”
"As a native of Sishui Prefecture, it is natural for you to support Mr. Xia, but it is better not to have delusions and follow reality. Otherwise, it will make your generosity laughable, which may not be beautiful."
At this moment, a voice sounded leisurely, "A frog in a well cannot understand the vastness of the sky, and a fish in a pond cannot understand the vastness of the sea."
A few days ago, a big beeping white cloud was installed on the street. Bian had already disdained to show his holiness in front of these classmates, but now he really couldn't listen any more. He shook off the folding fan and said lightly: "You guys, please stop saying a few words, so as not to worry about it later." My face hurts.”
clang!
With a clear cry, everyone in the room who was answering questions stopped writing.
