My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 223 Secret
Fortunately, there are many servants guarding the safety of the Gongyuan, and there is no need to carefully prepare the slips for the lottery. Just draw a circle on the slips for the competition on stage, and put an ink dot on the rest.

After Qi Run waited for a group of yamen servants to come out of the archives room of the Gongyuan, a yamen servant walked up to the high platform holding the prepared wooden box.

Zhao Fengshou stood aside and glanced at the crowd, with no unnatural expression on his face: "Students, the number of notes in the wooden box is the same as the number of students present. There are two kinds of notes drawn with circles and ink dots on them. The students in the circle represent the scholars from the south of the Yangtze River to participate in the other six Ya Dabi, and compete with the scholars from the Jin Kingdom, I hope you will win in one fell swoop and enhance our great dragon national prestige."

"Master Qi is holy, Lord Zhao is holy." The compliments of many scholars resounded inside and outside the tribute courtyard.

Zhao Fengshou, who originally had the same face, looked a little unnatural when he heard Mr. Zhao Shengming's words, and a feeling of guilt emerged from his heart.

Coughing twice, Zhao Fengshou signaled the yamen servant to carry the wooden box down: "The lottery begins!"

Liu Mingzhi stared at Zhao Fengshou intently, and was relieved when he saw him nodding to him. Even if the six of them could not win all of them, as long as there were three games left, they could win directly. It can be said that Dabi's victory is in sight.

"Brothers, it's all up to you! The motherland, the imperial court and the people in the south of the Yangtze River are all looking at you, waiting for the good news of your triumphant return."

Li Peichao and the others nodded with a little embarrassment, and their expressions were a little nervous, all because what Young Master Liu said was too scary, what the court and the people all over the south of the Yangtze River watched the news of our triumphant return. I don't know if it's good or not.

Besides, the triumphant return is the news of the victorious return from the battlefield. We are just trying out such elegant things as poetry, wine, flower tea, etc. Needless to say, it is so serious.

Looking at the expressions of several people, Young Master Liu sighed, how could he be an official with such a thin skin?How can we walk on the road of being in power in the future?

You have to know that being an official is not black-bellied but will be swallowed by those black-hearted guys. Although Young Master Liu has no experience in being an official, he has watched a lot of Qing palace dramas and TV dramas. Those officials definitely eat people without spit out bones. Guy, if you don't say anything else, just say that your father-in-law, Qi Run, has been able to mix up from a white coat to the position of a feudal official, has his ass been clean?It can't be clean, my family knows their own affairs, and sometimes no matter how upright an official is, he can't do something unconscionable. There's no way, that's how the world is, when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and it's not that fish can't survive without food.

This is also the case in the officialdom, if you don't have a background, you want to be a clean stream, if nothing else, you will be squeezed to death by your peers.

Not to mention, if you are too thin-skinned, you can't even control your own subordinates, so what can you do if you call you "Master" respectfully and respectfully, in private.

So, to be a black man, this old man has done it perfectly, otherwise the fat meat of Jiangnan Liu's family will be fish on someone else's stick sooner or later.

In order to avoid the suspicion of these Jiangnan scholars, the order of the lottery was gradually drawn from the last scholar. Everyone who got the note was frustrated, and looked at each other to see if a student around him got a circle. strip.

Li Peichao and the six people with different expressions took off a note from the top of the carton and opened it to take a look. Sure enough, all the people who were greeted by Young Master Liu all had a note with a circle in their hands.

Seeing the guards carrying the wooden box back to the high platform, Zhao Fengshou cleared his throat: "The students who draw circles walk up to the ring independently and wait for the Jin Guo scholars to face the remaining Liu Ya."

After the six got up, there was another commotion.

"How could this be? God has favored them too much, right? Not only did Qiu Wei occupy the top ten results, but he also got a lottery to be famous all over the world."

"Could it be that there is something else strange about it? Why are the people who draw the playing slips all the scholars within ten? Could it be too much of a coincidence?"

"That's right. Could it be that the two adults were interfering? How could there be such a coincidence in the world? It just so happened that they were the ones who got the circled ticket."

"Probably not. After all, the order of the lottery is drawn from our side first. Maybe it's because their luck is really good, and I can only pity me for my bad luck."

"Perhaps it is. Sir Qi's reputation has always been good, and he has made many achievements as an official in Jinling these years, and is praised by the people. He should not destroy his reputation and do such a thing that insults his reputation."

"There are no absolutes. Even if Master Qi would not do such a self-defeating thing, what about Master Zhao? He is a Beijing official. In order to protect the face of the court, it is inevitable that he will not do so for the sake of meritorious service."

"Ming Gong, King Huainan, is also on the high platform. With Ming Gong's prestige, he probably won't watch Mr. Zhao mess around, right?"

These people suddenly didn't know that this kind of black-box operation was exactly what they called Mr. Ming who was on the sidelines to make plans. The plan may not be so serious, but it is still impossible to refute how many people wake up at a certain point.

Not a major crime, but a culprit at most.

Looking at the few Jiangnan scholars who stood up, Wan Yang looked a little ugly. How could he fail to see that something was wrong, but there is no evidence that if he said it outright, he would get a reputation for causing trouble.

He glared at Liu Mingzhi fiercely again, he believed that it was Young Master Liu who ruined his plan.

Sometimes people are so unreasonable, they will only blame others for their sins, if they don't calculate others first, how can they be calculated by others.

Looking at Wan Yang, who was unwilling to sit on the seat, Yan Yu looked at Wan Yang with a little teasing: "It's been a long time since I've tasted this kind of frustration. Everything is under control, it is easy to become arrogant after a long time, you and Young Master Liu are very good opponents, I haven't seen you confronting others for a long time."

Yan Yu didn't mean to endanger Wan Yang at all, instead she teased Wan Yang who was somewhat frustrated.

Hu Yanyu rubbed his nose and muttered: "Tit for tat? Otherwise, I think it's just an eye contact."

Yan Yu turned to look at Hu Yanyu suspiciously: "What are you mumbling about?"

"No, maybe my stomach is rumbling, you heard it wrong!"

Wan Yang took a few deep breaths: "Bai Ren, you are best at cultivating flowers and plants, so let's use flowers as the theme to go on stage and face these scholars from Jiangnan."

Bai Ren nodded and walked straight out: "Bai Ren, a scholar of the Kingdom of Jin, pays homage to all the gentlemen. Please be polite, you brothers. Bai Ren is not talented, but good at flowers and plants, so I use the flowers in poetry, wine, scented tea as the topic. That brother is willing." Come to the stage to teach me something?"

The six of Li Peichao looked at each other, and finally fixed their eyes on Hu Jun. Hu Jun said earlier that he had been asked to cultivate flowers and plants in Dangyang Academy for a long time. He also had some experience in flowers and plants. It is most appropriate to have Hu Jun on stage.

Hu Jun didn't refuse, he cleared his clothes and went up to the ring, looked at Bai Ren and saluted: "Hu Jun, a student of Dangyang Academy, met Brother Bai, and Brother Bai asked for advice on flowers. How do you want to compare?"

"It turned out to be a senior student of Dangyang Academy. Bai has heard that the students of Dangyang Academy are knowledgeable and talented. They are all well-informed people. Bai is not talented. Recently, I got a rare seedling. I am very happy to see it." So I transplanted it at home and took good care of it. God is so pitiful. Under Bai's meticulous care, this strange flower did not die because of a sudden change of growth location. It happened to coincide with its meeting this year. Take this strange flower with you."

"Oh? So Brother Bai wants to use this strange flower in his mouth as the title?"

"That's right, just now Bai said it. I heard that the students of Dangyang Academy are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. As long as Hu brother can tell the name and habit of this flower, Hu brother wins, otherwise, Bai wins. how?"

After Bai Ren finished talking about Jiangnan scholars, everyone's expressions changed, and they secretly scolded Bai Ren for being shameless. You must know how big the world is, and how many flowers and plants are there. There is a distance of thousands of miles between the land of the Golden Kingdom and the Dragon City of the Kingdom of Jin. Many people have never been to the northern border of the Kingdom of Dragon in half their lives, so how can they recognize the names of the flowers and plants of the Kingdom of Jin?

Besides, Bai Ren also said just now that this flower was obtained by chance, who knows if it was obtained by chance in the Kingdom of Jin, it would be as difficult as climbing the sky to tell the name and habit of this flower with just one flower.

Hu Jun also had a worried expression on his face, and he also understood the difficulty, but he had already stepped on the stage, and the success or failure could only be determined after seeing this strange flower in Bai Ren's mouth.

Qin Bin looked at Liu Mingzhi with a distressed expression: "Brother Liu, Brother Bai is afraid that the situation will not be good in this match. The world is so big that An can distinguish everything."

Liu Mingzhi also knows the difficulty of this question. In the era of underdeveloped information in ancient times, even the species in his own country cannot be fully recognized, let alone the strange flowers in the population of other countries, let alone Hu Jun. Liu Mingzhi, who was born more than 20 years later, dare not say that he can recognize the names of all the flowers and plants in the era of advanced information networks.

Moreover, the ancient titles may not be exactly the same as the modern ones. With a silent sigh, Liu Mingzhi no longer had any expectations, and could only resign himself to fate.

Hu Jun paced back and forth a few times and looked at Bai Ren quietly: "What if I recognize the name of this strange flower, but you don't admit it? Everyone present can't say who is right and who is wrong."

Bai Ren seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and took out a folded note from his sleeve and held it up: "It's easy at this time, Bai has already written the name of this strange flower on the paper, and now you can write the name of this strange flower." Put the note on the table, wait for Brother Hu to tell the name of this flower and plant, open it and compare it, even if Bai wants to quibble, there is nothing he can do, and Bai will guarantee with his life that the name on the paper is absolutely true, if there is a false wish He killed himself on the spot, with the testimony of all seniors and brothers, Bai said that he was right."

After finishing speaking, Bai Ren put the note on the table and looked at Hu Jun calmly.

Hu Jun gritted his teeth: "Get the flowers up!"

Bai Ren patted his palms straight away, and immediately a servant came up with a potted plant covered in a white cloth, put it on the table between the two of them, and retreated.

"Brother Hu, please watch."

Hu Jun stretched out his stiff arms and slowly removed the white cloth from the potted plants.

kindness?Hu Jun stared coldly at the strange flower in Bai Ren's mouth, which showed Lushan's true face, and was surprised, how could it be?

I saw a few gorgeous flowers in the flower pots blooming very vigorously, swaying gently with the breeze in the Gongyuan, showing their most beautiful side.

Hu Jun's complexion gradually became more relaxed, even with a smile on his face, he watched Bai Ren's mouth slightly raised in a teasing manner.

When Bai Ren saw Hu Jun's expression turned from cloudy to sunny, a bad thought suddenly rose in his heart, could it be that Hu Jun really knew what kind of flower it was.

Immediately, Bai Ren immediately denied it in his heart. Hu Jun is a student of Jiangnan Academy. At this age, he has almost never been to the frontier, let alone the farther Turkic grassland. This flower was ordered to marry Princess Yan Yuchang. The flower was discovered in the Huyan tribe. According to the introduction of the local people, the name of this flower is Jinlumei.

Dalongchao usually prides itself on being a kingdom of heaven, and never wants to go to the grassland, which they think is a wild place. How can they know the flowers produced in the grassland? I went there for the purpose of selling cattle and sheep. I don't think I'm interested in the flowers and plants growing on the ground. Could it be that Hu Jun is deliberately distracting me?

Liu Mingzhi also lit up when he saw the potted flowers on the table, it turned out to be chamaema chamaejasma, or the Gesang flower that the Tibetan compatriots said.Immediately, I became worried. I could recognize Gesanghua because of the advanced Internet in later generations and some classmates were Tibetan compatriots, but what about Hu Jun?

The Tibetans of the later generations are the land of the Western Regions that the Dalong Dynasty is talking about at the moment. Few people travel so far by relying on cattle and horses.

Hu Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Ren, who was a little restless: "Brother Bai, are you sure that as long as I tell the name and habit of this flower, I will win the competition?"

Even though Bai Ren was worried in his heart, he didn't want to go back on his word, so he said bravely: "Yes, a gentleman can't be chased after a word, as long as Brother Hu tells the name and habit of this flower, Bai will admit defeat."

Hu Jun circled Jinlumei twice: "Jinlumei is produced in the Western Regions, and this flower also grows in Turkic lands. People in the Western Regions call it Gesanghua. Gesanghua has the meaning of happiness in the mouth of the Western Regions. The petals of this flower stalk are small and look weak, but in fact, the stronger the wind and rain, the stronger and greener it is, the stronger the sun, the more brilliant the flower is. Rooting everywhere, it is not called the strange flower that Brother Bai said, but it has never appeared in Longguo and Jiangnan."

After speaking, Hu Jun took the note on the table and opened it to read. Sure enough, there were three words Jin Lumei written on the paper.

Hu Jun smiled gracefully: "Brother Bai? How about it?"

Bai Ren took a few steps back in hesitation, with an embarrassed expression on his face: "Impossible, scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are so weak, how could they go to the grassland thousands of miles away, it's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible, isn't this just what Brother Bai said? The students of Dangyang Academy are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, so what's so strange about knowing Jin Lumei?" Hu Jun leaned closer to Bai Ren's ear and whispered : "I have always called myself a student of Dangyang Academy, not a scholar of Jiangnan."

Bai Ren stared at Hu Jun with wide eyes in astonishment: "You"

Hu Jun shook his head slightly and turned to look at Qi Run and the two on the high platform: "Junior Hu Jun sees the two adults. According to the rules, the junior won this match."

"Okay, you are worthy of being the No. 3 candidate, and you really have a brilliant literary talent. After the Lu Ming Banquet is over, I will definitely reward you a lot."

"Thank you sir!"

Qi Run and the two were overjoyed, and they won another round, and won three rounds in a row. As long as there are no mistakes, the chances of the Jin Kingdom mission trying to turn around are very slim.

Some people were happy and some were sad, Bai Ren returned to his original position unwillingly: "Commander, my subordinates didn't expect that."

Wan Yang glanced at Bai Ren indifferently: "Forgive your innocence, no one would have thought that Jiangnan, a scholar living in a corner of the Yangtze River, would know flowers and plants thousands of miles away, please return to your seat."

Bai Ren wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, not daring to look at Wan Yang's expression: "Thank you, Commander, for your generosity."

Hu Yanyu watched Hu Jun walk back to his place calmly, shaking his head helplessly.

Yan Yu looked at Hu Yanyu strangely: "Husband, could it be that you know the son who was on the stage just now?"

Hu Yanyu was stunned and immediately shook his head: "I don't know, I just sigh that this person knows the flowers and plants of my Turkic tribe, just curious."

Yan Yu lowered her head and stared at Hu Jun's back, wondering what she was thinking.

"Brother Hu, congratulations, you won another game for me, so congratulations!"

Greeting the crowd, Hu Jun nodded one by one and signaled: "It just so happened that he would have heard of the name of this flower and plant. It can only be said that the victory was a fluke. The next duel will be troublesome, brothers."

Hu Jun sat back to his original position: "Brother, I wonder if you know that flower or plant?"

Liu Mingzhi frowned and shook his head: "I don't know, but brother, you have a lot of experience."

After finishing speaking, Liu Mingzhi rested his chin and didn't know what he was thinking about, and glanced at Hu Jun at the side from time to time, only he knew what was thinking in his heart.

Qin Bin whispered suspiciously beside Liu Mingzhi: "Brother Liu, when Brother Hu uncovered the white cloth just now, your eyes lit up when you saw that flower. You really don't know the name of that flower?"

Liu Mingzhi glanced at Qin Bin playfully, secretly thinking that Qin Bin was really observant and saw his fleeting expression.

Liu Mingzhi still shook his head: "I'm just shocked that there are such gorgeous flowers and plants in this season. I really don't know its name."

Seeing that Liu Mingzhi looked the same, Qin Bin shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.

"In the third round of the Baya competition, Hu Jun, a student from Dangyang Academy, won."

Zhao Fengshou stood up again and looked at Li Peichao and the others: "Next, there will be a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River on stage to present a question. Which student is willing to lead the way?"

Several people looked at each other, and Li Peichao came out: "The junior Li Peichao of Dangyang Academy is not talented, and he is willing to go on stage to play against the Jin Guo Mission with the theme of painting. Is that brother willing to go on stage and teach me?"

"Jin Guogui Buer is willing to ask Brother Li for advice."

Seeing that there was a competition that was about to start, Liu Mingzhi didn't feel the slightest turmoil in his heart, and turned to look at Wen Renzheng who was leaning against the wall not far away.

But Wen Renzheng's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, unable to see anything at all.

First Young Master Liu stretched his waist and muttered: "It's human nature to have secrets, but if it's too deep, it will make people fearful and uneasy, no good, really bad!"
