Chapter 148
There was such a commotion under the subtitle stage that all the people at the Wuzi stage and the account desk looked sideways.

Faced with these angry or surprised gazes, Ouyang Ye remained calm, pushed away the few scholars in front of him, and approached the railing where the answer papers were posted.

He didn't read it, didn't choose it, and pointed directly to the first article on the left, criticizing it in a clear voice.

"In this article, people asked how the government should deal with the river flooding and the people losing their homes. The article is full of flowers and gorgeous rhetoric, but the entire [-]-word article is only called 'opening warehouses to release grain and appropriating funds for relief'" related to the topic."

"But if these eight words can be called the answer, I'm afraid that if a commoner is randomly pulled on the street, he will know to let the government do this? Or, the examinee thinks that this question does not test the ability of governance, But writing?"

Hearing what Ouyang Ye said, many scholars found that they couldn't refute; even those who came to their senses and unconsciously agreed with Ouyang Ye's words turned red with embarrassment.

"In the second article, people asked how banditry is serious in County A, and what to do when the county magistrate arrives. The article first mentioned suppressing bandits, and then quoted scriptures and classics, saying how to break down bandit villages. But have you ever thought about why this place is so serious? Yes, are bandits all pigs, just waiting in the stockade for you to kill?"

"As for the third article, it makes people laugh. The question is about money and food accounts. If you don't understand, why don't you just ask the accountant to deal with it? You actually rambled a few words from "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and delusional If you get away with it, do you think that the examiner doesn't even know the correct answer?"

"And this fourth chapter..."

Although Ouyang Ye didn't have many words to criticize an article, he hit the nail on the head, pointing to the key points of the question and the answer sheet.

But the scholars around found that Ouyang Ye looked at the problem from a completely different angle from theirs.

Before they commented on these articles, they basically started from the literary talents and the talents revealed in them, and never gave specific solutions or answers to the problems.

Ouyang Ye was the opposite.

As a result, some scholars who thought they were quick-witted and good at refuting were unable to refute Ouyang Ye for a while.

For a moment, apart from Ouyang Ye's sunny and domineering words, no one around the subtitle stage spoke.

Such a situation even greatly affected the three candidates on the stage, and they couldn't help but look back.

At the same time, in the curtain behind the three wooden platforms, a woman's eyes sparkled when she heard Ouyang Ye's words.

This woman looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but deep in her eyes there was a maturity that did not belong to this age.

She was wearing a goose-yellow brocade robe, tied into a man's bun, her willow eyebrows were flying obliquely, and her eyes were like red phoenixes, which gave off a heroic and gallant feeling.

This attire matched her introverted maturity and age of sixteen or seventeen, forming a very weird and contradictory temperament.

"Ban Xia, go and see the person who commented on the subtitled articles." The girl's voice was clear and sweet, but it also contained a calmness different from her age.

"Yes." A sensual maid in a green shirt came out of the curtain in response.

Another servant girl in red clothes took the opportunity to ask: "Miss, this person is obviously looking for trouble and disturbed the selection of the subtitle station. Why don't people drive him away?"

The girl smiled when she heard the words, and said: "It's good that he is looking for faults, but what he said is not wrong. As for disrupting the selection... Even if you choose a hundred mediocre talents, it is not as good as a truly useful talent, so let him Disturb."

"Miss wants to recruit this person?" The maid in red asked in surprise.

This is the first time that the lady only listened to someone's words and became interested in soliciting her,

The girl didn't answer the maid in red, but said: "Chi Shao, you go out and do this..."

When the maid Chi Shao listened to the girl's instructions and came out of the curtain to come to Ban Xia's side on the subtitle stage, Ouyang Ye's critique of several articles had come to an end.

Hearing that Ouyang Ye had criticized the last answer sheet to pieces, some scholars couldn't bear it any longer. They couldn't think of how to refute Ouyang Ye's words one by one, so they shouted loudly: "You have criticized other people's articles to nothing, you should go up and apply for the election!" ? Let's see, what's different about your article!"

Ouyang Ye sneered.

Most of these scholars judged from his too straightforward words just now that he did not read many "books", so they challenged him to apply for the election, and then criticized his articles in turn.

In other words, even after being scolded by him, there are not many scholars who really understand the meaning of the subtitles.

Ouyang Ye is not the kind of hot-blooded boy who is easily impulsive, how could he be provoked by such a simple method of provocation?Seeing that the siege of the surrounding scholars had been unintentionally broken, he prepared to leave directly.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a maidservant in red came to the subtitle stage and said loudly: "Young master, please stay a while, our young lady wants to see you."

Ouyang Ye stopped in his tracks, thinking in his mind: It seems that Ran Yuehua has noticed me, but I don't know if he has seen through my identity.

Chi Shao, who was passing on the message, seemed afraid that he would not be able to keep Ouyang Ye, so he added another sentence, "Young Master, if you criticize someone else's article and then run away, you will be guilty of a guilty conscience."

Hearing this, Ouyang Ye laughed and said, "Why should I feel guilty? It's just that your lady should not be frightened when she sees me."

"Master, you are joking, please." Chi Shao cleverly ignored the question of Ouyang Ye's appearance, and stretched out his hand to signal Ouyang Ye to go to the back.

Ouyang Ye gave Yu Si a wink to tell him not to follow, then walked through the crowd towards the curtain behind the wooden platform.

Following the two servant girls entering the curtain, Ouyang Ye couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly when he saw the girl in yellow robe sitting in the main seat.

This girl gave him a very strange feeling - he couldn't say exactly what was so strange, but she was by no means a simple character.

When Ouyang Ye sized up the young girl, the young girl also looked at him with a slightly surprised look on her face, probably because she didn't expect the person who came to him to have irregular facial features, but she didn't show any disgust.

Women love beauty, and many women who don't know Ouyang Ye's identity will unconsciously frown when they first see Ouyang Ye.

This girl didn't, either because she was too good at nourishing her energy, or because she was well-informed and was no longer confused by her appearance.

"Little girl Ran Yuehua, dare to ask your son Gao's name?" Ran Yuehua asked with a slight smile.

"Yang Zui." Ouyang Ye answered briefly and in a cold tone.

"Yang Zui?" Ran Yuehua seemed to be confused about the two words, and seemed to be thinking about the name.

Ouyang Ye explained: "The poplar of the poplar tree is an unforgivable sin."

"I didn't expect Mr. Yang to introduce his name like this. It's really unique." Ran Yuehua spoke softly like a spring breeze, but seemed to be brewing with spring thunder, implying majesty.

Ouyang Ye said directly: "Miss Ran should just tell me why she asked me to come to see you."

"It seems that Mr. Yang is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​Ran Yuehua stood up, walked past the desk, and was a dozen steps away from Ouyang Ye, and said, "Just now Mr. Yang was talking about those articles outside." Criticism is quite to my liking, so I really want to hear how Mr. Yang will answer those questions."

Looking at Ran Yuehua who was standing a dozen steps away, Ouyang Ye had other thoughts.

He was thinking, should he follow Ran Yuehua's solicitation and go to Ran's mansion to figure out the situation before deciding whether to save Li Renqi, or should he kidnap Ran Yuehua and exchange Li Renqi with Ran's mansion now?
Then he keenly noticed that he was actually much more interested in Ran Yuehua than in Li Renqi.

Noticing this, he made a decision in his heart.
