Although there were many students reading in the Sage Pavilion, there seemed to be no administrator. Ci Song could only find it by himself. Half an hour later, Ci Song finally found what he needed. It was a book with the words " Record of the Five Courtyard Tea Party".
Ci Song opened the book and began to read. As time went by, he gained a deeper understanding of the Wuyuan Tea Party.
As the name suggests, the Five Academy Tea Party is a grand event jointly organized by the five academies. Each academy will send talented people or talented women to participate to compete in talent.
The Five Courts Tea Party is held every five years, and the scale of each event is very large. The reason why Dean Yan cares so much about the Five Courts Tea Party is because the crown of the Five Courts Tea Party is not just an honor, but also a college. The embodiment of face and heritage.
If you can win the crown in the Five Courts Tea Party, then the reputation of Yan Sheng Academy will definitely rise greatly, and rewards will naturally be indispensable. The reward for the last session was actually the saint's writing. Although Ci Song didn't know what the use of this thing was, it could Those who are related to "saints" are extraordinary.
"The Five Courtyard Tea Party is divided into a talent banquet and a literary battle. The talent banquet is a competition of literary talents to see whose works are better; while the literary battle is a battle between literati using their talents to see who has greater combat power. "
Ci Song put down the book in his hand and thought to himself: "To put it bluntly, the talent banquet is to see who is literate, and this literary battle is to see who has a big fist. This is also good."
He read through the book, which recorded the winners of the five-courtyard tea party in the past century. Ci Song saw his father's name in it.
"Kuansheng" started his poem in white, had a banquet of talents, won two laurels in literary and moral competition, defeated several officials with his scholarly status, and deserved to be the first person in the 37th Five-House Tea Party. "
"It seems that my father was really a young genius back then, and he was very high-spirited."
After learning about the Five Courtyard Tea Party, Ci Song also gained more confidence in this grand event, but the problems that followed also gave him a headache, that is, issues about age and cultivation.
Because he saw a stipulation, "All participants must be at least fifteen years old, and if they are less than twenty-five years old, they must be at least as young as a child."
"My age seems inappropriate, and my cultivation level is sufficient. But since the teacher said he would take me there, this shouldn't be a problem."
Ci Song put the book back to its original position and walked out of the Sage Pavilion.
On the way, Ci Song was thinking that this talent banquet would definitely require a lot of tests. Would he need to sharpen his guns before the battle? Make up for it again?
"Junior Brother Ci, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you today."
Ci Song turned his head and realized that the person who came was Bai Ye, and greeted him quickly, "Senior Brother Bai, what a coincidence. Hey, shouldn't you be teaching the new students at this time? Why are you here?"
Bai Ye smiled slightly and explained: "The dean has arranged for someone else to take the class for the freshmen. In fifteen days, the fifth courtyard tea party will be held. The teacher asked me to prepare well and try to get good grades."
"That's great, Senior Brother Bai, can you tell me about this Five Courtyard Tea Party?"
"Of course, teacher, he has told me that he will take you to this tea party. I am going to share the details of this tea party with others. You can go with me."
Bai Ye and the two walked together. Ci Song and Bai Ye walked and talked at the same time. Soon they came to a strange building. The name at the top read: "Lecture Hall".
The lecture hall is a huge rectangular platform. Surrounding the platform are stone benches. Many people are already sitting on it. In the center of the platform, there is a huge sand table. Several people are sitting in front of the sand table. They are discussing What are you wearing?
After seeing Bai Ye, everyone stood up and saluted him, "Senior Brother Bai."
"Sorry, everyone, I'm a little late."
The arrival of the white night undoubtedly brought a little commotion to the dojo. When Ci Song saw the respect for Bai Ye from everyone present, he couldn't help feeling emotional. Bai Ye could be respected by others wherever he went.
As for his poems about the Song Dynasty, alas, I won’t talk about it, I won’t talk about it.
Bai Ye smiled slightly at everyone, then pointed to the sand table and said: "You are all the elites in our courtyard, and you must also know something about the upcoming tea party in the fifth courtyard. I invite you here today to discuss it together. The details that need to be prepared at a tea party.”
Everyone present nodded, and they felt a little more at ease about being able to participate in the Fifth Courtyard Tea Party under Bai Ye's leadership.
Bai Ye continued: "The Fifth Academy Tea Party is a stage to showcase the strength of our academy. I hope that everyone can exert their full strength and speak to the outside world in unison."
"Unanimously!" Everyone said at the same time.
Ci Song listened quietly in the crowd. Just by saying "unanimous to the outside world", it was enough to tell that the relationship between the five major academies must be a competitive relationship. The so-called "five academies tea party" is more like a relationship between the major academies. A stage for academies to show their strength.
Bai Ye led everyone to discuss for a long time in the lecture hall. During this period, Ci Song also learned a lot of information about the Wuyuan Tea Party. The tea party was attended by students from different grades. They all went through many tests and finally stood. Here, everyone present is all the elite in the academy.
Moreover, among the people present, the ones with the lowest cultivation level were all scholars, not a single child. Bai Ye was like arranging tactics for them, telling them the information in the sand table.
As for Ci Song, he just listened and didn't say much.
It was not until evening that the people in the sermon gradually dispersed. Ci Song and Bai Ye left together, and they talked about the Wuyuan Tea Party on the way back.
"Junior Brother Ci, what do you think about this Fifth Courtyard Tea Party?" Bai Ye asked Ci Song next to him.
Ci Song also expressed his doubts, "Senior Brother Bai, I am under fifteen years old, will I be affected?"
"This is not a problem. Each college will have a special quota called 'Scholar'."
"Scholar?" Ci Song asked doubtfully.
Bai Ye smiled slightly and explained: "You don't have to worry about this. There is a rule for the Five Academy Tea Party. Each academy will have a recommendation quota. This quota is directly recommended by the dean, that is, a scholar. Scholars can freely participate in the talent banquet. Fight against Wen Dao, but are not allowed to participate in the subsequent battle between heaven and man."
"The scholars of our Yan Sheng Academy in previous years are all students who are underage but have strong talents. To be honest, I have been a scholar twice before and took up this quota to participate in the tea party."
"That's it." Ci Song nodded. Bai Ye's words made Ci Song feel relieved, but what is this battle between heaven and man?
