Ugly girl turns over, mercenary mad concubine

Qin Zeyuan's face remained unchanged, and he said gently and affectionately: "Haha, I thought that the ninth brother was not interested in the gathering of us literati, so I didn't post to the ninth brother. I didn't expect the ninth brother to come this time. We are really flattered. !"

"Oh, so that's the case. I misunderstood that the second brother didn't welcome me, so I didn't post to me. This time, I also heard that the second brother invited many literati. I am a senior scholar of Su University, so I come here because of my reputation." After saying that, he bowed his hands and saluted Su Yan who was sitting on the honored seat.

Qin Zetian saluted a bachelor as a crown prince, Su Yan naturally couldn't be called a grandson, so he hurriedly returned the salute. "The prince is too polite, I really can't afford to be an old man."

Many literati present are quite famous, and most of the talented people are very lonely and arrogant.Seeing the prince pay respects to his teacher and see Taishan Beidou in the literati world, they were all very moved.

I have always heard that the crown prince disdains these literati, and never attends their gatherings. I thought the crown prince really looked at them, and I also complained about this in my heart.

Now seeing that the crown prince is respectful, polite, sincere and enthusiastic towards Su Yan, the previous resistance has softened a bit.

With such a good effect at the beginning, it can be said to be a good start.

Of course, it is impossible for Qin Zeyuan to watch things continue to develop like this. He has worked hard for many years, and he must not just ruin it like this!

"Haha, everyone, let's stop for a while, the Wenyuan meeting will begin soon, and then everyone will have a good chat."

The host of today's party is none other than Wei Zheng, Qin Zeyuan's counselor, who is considered quite talented in the literati circle of Dayong Kingdom.There are not many students under his school, but with the golden signboard of Prince Rui, he is relatively able to speak in the literati circle.

As soon as Wei Zheng spoke, everyone calmed down in embarrassment.

"Our Wenyuan meeting this time aims to make friends through literature. Everyone here, regardless of status," Wei Zheng said here, and cupped his hands at Qin Zetian meaningfully. "Family background, fame and talent, as long as you feel that you are If you can show what you can, then show it boldly. No matter what the result is, we, Wenyuan Pavilion, welcome everyone to participate."

What he said was extremely sweet, and those nerds who don't know what to say may really take his words seriously.

This Wenyuan meeting is not like an ordinary banquet, but a bit like the competitions Song Yunxi saw in modern times, but it is not so formal and more inclined to the nature of communication.Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, royal, archery, ritual, seven arts, everyone participates in the competition according to their own specialties, and each skill is competed in succession, not at the same time, so as not to miss the competition for those who are multi-talented.

On the first day of the Wenyuan meeting, Qin was the first to compete.Everyone present can participate in the competition and play a piece of music they are good at at will. After no one participates, the judges will consolidate their opinions and name a few better ones, without ranking them in order.

Song Yunxi watched, feeling bored.This kind of competition where friendship comes first and competition comes second is the most boring. There is no sense of urgency or rhythm at all.It's not a party, it's really boring to make it like this.

Qin Zetian was sitting next to Song Yunxi, seeing that she looked uninterested, he couldn't help turning his head and whispering, "Yunxi, what's the matter? Are you bored?"

Song Yunxi blinked and said in a low voice: "This kind of competition, unless you are really interested in these people, otherwise you will find it very boring." In her opinion, there must be rewards and punishments in the competition.Since you have the guts to end the competition, you have to accept everyone's praise or contempt.Such gentleness, no pressure and no motivation, many people who are not good at this will definitely end the game in order to increase familiarity.There is no punishment anyway, it doesn't matter!

"Really? I think everyone is very interested." Qin Zetian didn't think so.Contests among literati are very concerned about face, so they have always been relatively gentle.Besides, isn't it said that Wen Wu is the first, so it's normal.

Song Yunxi quietly rolled his eyes.That's because the place has little entertainment and nothing else to distract you.If all kinds of entertainment are extremely developed like in modern times, no one will participate in this kind of competition!

Turning his head and yawning secretly, Song Yunxi thought, it would be great if the rules could be changed... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have an idea.

The judging of the competition has already been arranged, and they are all the famous Taishan Beidou in the Great Yong Kingdom.

For example, Ruan Ji, the master judge of Qin art, is said to have an indescribably wonderful piano sound, which can last for three days, and now it is even more difficult to find a song.

Chess master Zheng Tongwen has studied chess records for more than [-] years. When he meets a master, he can't help but invite him to the next game.Once, in order to invite someone to play chess with him, he pestered that person for more than half a year.Therefore, he was awarded the title of chess idiot.

And Su Yan, a master of calligraphy, is hard to find for a single character.Zheng Kai is of the same family as Qiqi, but he prefers painting. Although he can't be called a master, he has made some achievements.

The rest of the arts are also judged by everyone.In addition, in order to show the fairness of the competition, people from the Ministry of Rites were specially invited to come.

Qin Zeyuan's arrangements can be described as comprehensive and well-organized.

When Wei Zheng announced the start of the competition, Qin Zetian suddenly stood up and said, "Slow down!"

"I don't know what the Crown Prince's request is?" Wei Zheng was very puzzled.Even if the crown prince wants to cause trouble, he should suppress it during the competition, right?Now that the game has not started, not only is it useless for him to interrupt, but it will also cause dissatisfaction among many literati.

Qin Zetian smiled and cupped his hands around, and then said to the judges: "I just asked about the judging rules this time, but I just have a different idea."

Wei Zheng was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at Qin Zeyuan, seeing that he hadn't said anything, he continued, "I don't know what His Highness the Crown Prince thinks? If there is anything wrong with the rules of the competition, please speak up."

"It's not wrong, it's just a little different." Qin Zetian didn't give Wei Zheng a chance to speak this time. "I think since it's a competition, there should be rewards and punishments. Being too peaceful is really not conducive to the progress of everyone's communication."

Seeing that everyone looked over with interest, Qin Zetian smiled confidently.Walking to the screen where the competition rules are written, pointing to one of the rules, said: "Since it is a competition, there must be a winner or a loser. Naturally, the winner will be rewarded, and the loser should also face the general judgment. Rewards are both incentives. In this way, those who participate in the competition will definitely show their true strength and strive to get the first place. Those who lose will also feel the pressure. In this way, those who have weaknesses can be exposed. My strengths are better than my weaknesses. After returning home, I will practice hard and look forward to getting rid of my shortcomings next time. In this way, those who have experienced this competition will surely improve!"

"Okay, what His Royal Highness said is really kind." As soon as Qin Zetian finished speaking, someone immediately echoed.

"Yeah, yeah, I also thought this kind of competition was very boring early in the morning. If it wasn't for people who were really interested, few people could watch the whole process. Moreover, there were no rewards and punishments, and there were many people participating in the competition, and many people with little piano skills Going to participate in the competition will simply add a burden to the judges." These words went into the hearts of the judges.

It's true that there are good and bad competitions, but some people's real skills are too low. There are too many of them, and those who love art feel quite annoyed.

Of course, not everyone agrees, and some disagree. "It is said that Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. Literati competitions have always tended to communicate, too aggressive, and there is no benefit. If someone loses the game, is hit, and never recovers, it will not make me and other literati lose another member. ?”

This was obviously said by someone from Qin Zeyuan's side, so as soon as the words were finished, Qin Zetian's adviser immediately replied: "A game is a game, if you can't even afford to lose, then this person will never win!" There is progress. There is no failure in a person's life, and everything is top-notch. Presumably, the chess idiot Master Zheng played chess before, and he didn't always win from the beginning! Otherwise, how can there be progress?"

"It's true. When the old man started learning chess, he wasn't very interested. But once he lost a game with someone younger than me, he was very unwilling, so he made up his mind to learn chess. After that, his chess skills slowed down. Slowly improve. And playing chess with masters, if you lose once, you will always gain a lot." Zheng Tongwen suddenly said.

Since chess idiots say so, everyone is naturally convinced, and the objections will gradually die down.

"This is a competition where ranking is the priority. How should the ranking be? There are winners and losers in chess, but it is better to judge. If it is a calligraphy and painting competition, everyone has different opinions. Even judges, it is difficult to unify their opinions and judge winners and losers." Sitting Su Yan who was on the stage suddenly asked.

Qin Zetian was waiting for someone to ask this question, so he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Scholar Su is a good question, I was going to say this too."

"Before the judges decided, they must have waited for everyone to talk, and each reported what he thought was excellent. Then they will be unified together. If there is no special objection, the list of outstanding candidates will be announced."

"I personally think there is nothing wrong with such a judgment, but the ranking is not detailed enough. I have a method, and you can listen to it and see if it is suitable."

The judges are naturally interested in seeing that there are different ways of judging. "His Royal Highness, please tell me."

"We can score according to the performance of participating in the competition. For example, piano art is calculated on a scale of zero to ten. If the judges think it is very excellent, they can score full marks; excellent, score nine to seven; good, score seven to five ; Poor, score five to three points; bad, score three to one point; Add up the scores of all the judges, and after the competition, whoever has the last score will be the winner. We can also judge the first, second or third place, and the excellent and the poor, it all depends on everyone's preferences gone."

After finishing speaking, Qin Zetian said again: "In order to motivate everyone, I will take out my own treasures and reward the winners of the Seven Arts!"
