On the left side of the debate stage, there were students from various schools in Kyoto, both men and women; while on the right side, there were male students who came to Beijing to study and debate, all of them arrogant.
"This debate is yours at home. The opponents of the debate are people from outside Kyoto. It is far from a debate between you. You should bear in mind the principle of friendship as landlords. You can only use your words. Don't... don't scare the guests. .”
The person presiding over the debate was the newly appointed Imperial Academy Jijiu. This gentleman has a handsome and elegant face, but he is also strong in body and powerful in martial arts. He is worthy of being called the best in both civil and military affairs. Yes, this gentleman has the qualifications to be the top scholar in both liberal arts and martial arts exams. However, his appearance is too beautiful, so he won the top prize in both exams.
After Master Ruan Jijiu finished speaking, all the students on the left came.
The man on the right is still puzzled. He is happy to have a formal debate for the first time, and the host is a figure like the Imperial Academy Jijiu. At the same time, he is wondering what is going on with so many warriors in the stands for a good student debate. , do they understand?
Of course, although their thoughts were changing, after the gong sounded to start the debate, the two sides with different postures immediately got into a state of mind.
Because the person on the right is the guest, the topic of this debate is theirs.
Ruan Jiejiu, the Imperial Academy official, opened the title book presented on the right and nodded: "It should be so."
After saying that, he took a pen and dipped it in ink, and after thinking for a moment, he wrote a few lines of words on the paper, and asked the assistant next to him to send someone to announce it.
"This debate is divided into three sessions. In the first session, nine people from each party will compete in literary talent; in the second session, they will discuss national policies; and in the third session, one person from each party will debate alone." After Ruan Jijiu finished speaking, he paused. This was for both of them. Adapt to digestion time.
"They are here to find out the beginning." The girl from Baizhou Academy on the left whispered while playing with her flute.
"Don't be afraid. When the soldiers come, we will block it, and when the water comes, we will stop it." Lang Jun from Yunqi Academy next to him shook his big cattail fan nonchalantly. Well, this is a student from the agricultural college.
Ning Erniang from Luming Academy looked at Sheng Yuan, who represented Jiujiang Academy, and Sheng An, who represented the Imperial College, with infinite envy: "You are sisters!"
Sheng An smiled and looked at her little sister: "I didn't expect to have this opportunity. Each of the six academies has three students representing Kyoto students. My sister and I are both selected. We are really honored."
Sheng Yuan had just distributed a bunch of preserved fruits to everyone, and when she heard her sister speaking, she nodded: "Yes! Yes! Yes! I didn't expect it either."
Chen He, who also represented Jiujiang Academy, glanced at the child and rolled his eyes quietly when he heard this.
You should know that each college stipulates that the minimum age for students to register for debate is fifteen.
Originally, she and Ouyang Ling had nothing to do, and they didn't want Sister Yuan to go to the palace. When she came back, the rule changed and became twelve years old.
Haha, even though the cover-up guy is one year younger, you can tell who this was changed for just by looking at the youngest guy in the room sitting here.
Luo Yuan from Taogui Academy saw everyone talking familiarly and muttered enviously to Shu Xiu and Wen Yan: "They all look so familiar, but they make us feel out of place."
Shu Xiu looked at the candies sent by Sheng Yuan in her hand, put it in her mouth with a smile, and said with a smile: "You can take the initiative to talk to them. Anyway, after getting the qualification for the childbirth examination, our and Dachu locals The isolation of students is over. If we can get a good rank in this child-student examination, we may be able to enter those three government schools, and we will all be classmates by then."
Luo Yuan thought about it and felt it made sense. He planned to listen to what they said first and then blend in with them naturally.
Ruan Jijiu felt that he had given both sides enough time to think, so he sounded the gong again to prepare for the first battle: "Both sides sent out students to fight."
After he finished speaking, two girls and one boy came out from the Kyoto students.
"The student is Lang Junwen Zhichen of Yunqi Academy Farming School."
"The student is Chai Fengyan, a girl from Baizhou Academy's flute club."
"The student is Shu Xiu, a girl from Taogui Academy."
Ruan Jijiu didn't expect these three to come out so neatly, as if they came out without any discussion. What's the matter, there is already such a tacit understanding among the students from the six academies?
"The students just turned their palms, only three of us showed our palms, and the rest showed their backs, so the three of us accepted the challenge." Wen Zhichen saw Ruan Jijiu's confusion and kindly shook his big cattail leaf fan to tell him.
However, Ruan Jijiu's attention was attracted by the big cattail leaf fan in his hand, and the corners of his mouth trembled at a slightly invisible angle.
If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, he would have wanted to replace the cattail leaf fan in this literary scholar's hand! He is obviously a well-dressed young man, and he looks and behaves like a well-dressed man. Whether it is a paper fan or a feather fan, he is very elegant when he swings it like this, but he is holding a cattail leaf fan that has a very lifelike feel! This makes Ruan Jijiu, who has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, very uncomfortable.
It's a pity that Wen Zhichen didn't know what he was thinking. He continued to shake the big cattail leaf fan he used when he went to the field to study, and smiled humbly at the student from outside Beijing on the right: "I'll accept it later!"
The student from outside Beijing, who almost dazzled his fan, almost choked when he heard this.
Assignment? Isn’t that the humble words of a winner? ! What's going on? We haven't even competed yet, but the winner's spot has been sealed? Kyoto students, how arrogant!
Suddenly, the students from outside Beijing shared the same hatred and sent students named Dai, Qiu, and Cheng to fight, as had been discussed long ago.
The student surnamed Dai raised his hands and said: "The six arts of a gentleman are etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and arithmetic. Now there are three people from each side. We will choose three to compete. Because the space is limited, how about we choose to compete in fun, calligraphy, and arithmetic?" ?”
Wen Zhichen and his two classmates looked at each other and returned the courtesy and said: "Of course, it just means numbers, it means arithmetic, it also means the calculation principles of Hetu and the Book of Changes, and it also means technical skills. Why don't we choose the most intuitive one?" Technical content test?"
"This..." When the student surnamed Dai heard this, he looked around hesitantly. He had prepared many calculation problems, but why did they change here?
I saw fellow students on both sides shaking their heads slightly, and the student surnamed Dai refused with a face: "Student Wen, we are competing in the first two games here just to let everyone know that we are qualified to raise objections. Therefore, both sides still use what they have." Let’s learn to compete!”
Wen Zhichen heard this, but was not embarrassed by being rejected. He nodded and directly took out a deck of willow leaves: "Then let's use arithmetic to fight!"
"???" The student surnamed Dai didn't react for a moment.
For this battle, he had specially written from ancient books such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Haidao Arithmetic", "Xia Houyang Arithmetic", "Zhang Qiujian Arithmetic", "Sun Tzu Arithmetic", and "Five Classics Arithmetic". I solved a lot of math problems, but I didn't expect that the other party would play cards out of step again and again.
He wanted to refuse again, but when he heard Wen Zhichen said with a smile: "Brother Dai, you ask the questions and you answer them, just like the examiner's reference. That means you have won. In the eyes of others, you are not victorious. Since you have chosen the question type, , it’s better to answer questions randomly.”
Wen Zhichen's words made it difficult for the student surnamed Dai to say no, but he still had the courage to agree.
Will change it tomorrow
