My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 134

[Chapter 134 Another suitor]

Not to mention, this marketing model is similar to the one promoted by Jing Zhe in Yongzhou.

Wuxian Garden requires people who enter the garden to pay one or two silver coins first. In fact, it gives them a psychological hint: Anyway, I have money here, so what’s the point of eating and drinking?

This undoubtedly stimulates consumption.

Jing Zhe smiled and thought to himself that it seems that there are sales geniuses in Wuxian Pavilion. It is very rare to come up with such a method in this era.

Then he handed over the money.

At this time, there was a sudden noise from the second floor.

Jing Zhe looked up and saw the door of a side room next to the corridor opened, and a group of people came out, talking and laughing.

A closer look revealed that the person standing in the C position was Chen Jiannan, who was ranked first in the general examination. At this time, he was surrounded by people and was walking downstairs. .

“Brother Chen, it’s rare to come to Wuxian Garden today. You might as well leave some poems and calligraphy treasures. When Brother Chen pays homage to the court in the future, there will definitely be a good story!”

“I also invited Brother Chen to come to Wuxian before. Yuan Yuan visited, but Brother Chen refused in the name of preparing for the national examination, which is regrettable. Fortunately, Brother Chen came here today, otherwise it would be a pity for Wuxianyuan! “

“Yes, yes…”

A group of flatterers immediately agreed.

Chen Jiannan in the crowd waved his hands repeatedly, “You are ridiculous! How could Chen be so virtuous, how dare he compete with Wuxianyuan for star glory? I really don’t dare!”

His attitude was humble and respectful, but there was an uncontrollable look in his eyes. of excitement and elation.

“I heard that Brother Chen is also going to participate in this Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival?”

At this time, someone asked.

The Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival was originally a folk activity spontaneously organized by scholars. On this day, everyone can learn from each other, and talented people can become famous.

However, with Emperor An’s love for poetry in recent years, the top names in the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival every year may go to Beijing to meet the saints or even become officials, so the Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival has also become an official event.

Ordinary people would take part in both the HKCEE and the Poetry Contest, doubling the success rate. However, for Chen Jiannan, who had already won the first place in the HKCEE, participating in the Poetry Contest was a bit confusing.

You can even enter the palace to meet the saint, and you still come to compete with us for a spot?

Everyone was dissatisfied, but they didn’t show it. They all stared at him and waited for an answer.

Chen Jiannan nodded, “Participating in the Poetry Contest is just to experience Jingzhou’s writing style. The ranking is no longer important to me. When the time comes, I will personally tell the examiner that there is no need to calculate my score.”

“Brother Chen is so impressive!”

“Brother Chen acts openly and aboveboard, I admire you!”

“Haha, I was originally worried that if Brother Chen participated, I would not have the chance. Now that Brother Chen said this, I feel that the opportunity has come again!”

“Brother Chen said that he will not participate. You’ll have the same chance!”

“Oh my God…”

Chen Jiannan said proudly, bathed in the flattery.

“It’s not included in the results, that’s because -“

At this time, a cheerful voice came from outside, and then a young man of medium height walked in with a heroic look on his face.

“He doesn’t dare!”

When he walked into the hall, he didn’t shrink back or feel timid because the client, Chen Jiannan, was standing in front of him. Instead, he said directly in front of him that he didn’t dare!

Such courage…

Jing Zhe next to him looked at it and couldn’t help shouting 666 in his heart, saying bad things behind his back is what a villain does, but speaking directly in front of his face is what a warrior is!

…

“It’s the great talent of Song Dynasty!”

At this time, someone said.

“I heard that the great talent of the Song Dynasty is going to participate in the Mid-Autumn Poetry Competition this time?”

“Yes, the great talent of the Song Dynasty has not participated in the poetry competition for several years. After studying in the mansion for several years, he has already completed his poems. This time he is determined to win!”

” Hey, it seems like I have no chance again!”

“…”

After hearing what the person next to him said, Jing Zhe knew who the man who came in was. Although he had never seen this man before, he didn’t know him at all. It’s not unfamiliar. After all, I heard it several times when I was in Yongzhou. It was Song Jimao, the son of Song Baiyun, the current Hanlin scholar.

From the look of him, he didn’t seem to have much trouble dealing with Chen Jiannan, and he was on full fire even before he entered the door.

Jing Zhe and Chen Jiannan had a confrontation in Yongzhou, and he also coveted his second sister Zhu Xinning. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, which made Jing Zhe’s favorability towards Song Jimao increase by one.

Hearing the people next to him discussing in low voices, Jing Zhe didn’t understand and asked, “May I ask, brother, does this great talent of the Song Dynasty have anything to do with Mr. Chen?”

The man also liked gossip and started talking immediately.

It turns out that Song Jimao’s talent and learning have been revealed since he was a child. He frequently stood out in poetry circles and became famous in Jingzhou. He was dubbed “the best talent in Jingzhou”.

But the most dazzling person in Jingzhou City was not him, but a woman, his second sister Zhu Xinning.

Zhu Xinning came from the Prime Minister’s Palace. She was proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially poetry. Even men were inferior to her.

She only participated in one poetry competition, and she defeated the proud Song Jimao. After that, she went to Beijing to meet the saints with her first name, and became a member of Zhongshushe. She never participated in the poetry competition again.

Due to his failed love life, Song Jimao was obsessed with Zhu Xinning, and even came to propose marriage, but was rejected. Since then, Song Jimao has not participated in poetry gatherings for several consecutive years, but studied hard at home.

Zhu Xinning was the examiner at this poetry meeting, and Song Jimao came to participate again after a few years of silence. Anyone with a discerning eye could see who he came for.

At this time, Chen Jiannan appeared. Not only did he claim to be a distant relative of the Zhu family and the first in the examination, but he also threatened to get closer to the Zhu family and wanted to marry Zhu Xinning. It would be abnormal for Song Jimao not to antagonize him!

Jing Zhe couldn’t help but be speechless after hearing this.

It turns out that this is another suitor of the second sister.

In an instant, his favorability towards Song Jimao dropped to zero…

“

I heard that Young Master Song also participated in this Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival?”

Song Jimao raised his head, his expression self-explanatory.

The people who had gathered around Chen Jiannan just now all moved closer to Song Jimao, which showed how optimistic they were about the two of them.

“Young Master Song should have participated a long time ago!”

“Yes, without Mr. Song in the past few years, I always felt that our Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival in Jingzhou was dim, let alone compared with Jiangling, even the Yongzhou Poetry Association seemed to be better than ours Much better!”

“Young Master Song will definitely be able to write some excellent poems when he comes to participate this time, just so that the people in Jiangling can see how good we are in Jingzhou!”

Everyone praised me one by one. This made Chen Jiannan next to him very uncomfortable.

Damn, what a bunch of idiots!

I cursed in my heart, but I missed this feeling so much.

When he was in Yongzhou, didn’t he enjoy this kind of treatment? It’s a pity that this is an away game and there is no home field advantage. If he returns to Yongzhou…

Suddenly, a handsome man who he hates appears in his mind. He shook his head, thinking that Yongzhou is not his. It’s Yongzhou. It’s better to stay here when you go back!
