It's time for a showdown, all the powerful officials in Beijing are my students!

Chapter 63 Chapter 63

On the way back, An Xin saw the nearby fishing village, only to realize that the fisherman here are not as rich as the modern seaside people.

Most of the clothes worn by old and young women and children are patched, and the houses they live in are also very dilapidated and simple. There are many dried fish drying at the door of every house.

Obviously, it is too much to sell, so I have to dry and store it in the sun, and keep it for my own home.

An Xin looked at the big sea fish and felt that it was a pity. Fresh fish without ice cubes is easy to spoil and cannot be transported to farther places for sale.

Only the nearby towns come to buy. If there is too much seafood caught, it cannot be sold, and if there is too little caught, it is not enough to feed a family. The people living here will become more and more impoverished.

An Xin had some ideas in her mind, but she couldn't do it now.

A group of them played here for a day and ate the long-awaited seafood feast. In the afternoon of the second day, they all got into the carriage and rushed back to Baichuan Academy.

If it weren't for Mr. Gongsun Jin who happened to be here, An Xin and this group of unprogressive bastards, I'm afraid they wouldn't even remember this literary meeting.

*
After returning, the next day.

The Literary Club of Baichuan Academy officially opened.

The sun rose, and the golden sunlight shone on the square of Baichuan Academy.

At this time, there are seventy or eighty academies, large and small, gathered from all over the world, and a large group of people gathered here.

Because they are all scholars and pay attention to their image, even if there are hundreds of students gathered here, they only whisper to the familiar people around them, and no one makes any loud noises.

When Shanzhang Wang of Cangyun Academy saw An Xin, who was wearing a blue Confucian shirt, standing on the judge's seat behind Mr. Gongsun Jin, he felt bad.

He rubbed his eyes in shock, his eyes widened, "How is this possible?!"

Zhao Jing and Liu Mingjie, who were standing beside him, also recovered from their astonishment, their eyes flickering with ambiguous expressions.

Whether it was on the stage or below, many self-proclaimed literati looked at the seat where An Xin was sitting with strange eyes.

Old Mr. Gongsun Jin, with his unique and deep voice, resounded at this time: "Thank you for coming to participate in the literary meeting held by Baichuan Academy every three years for the exchange of students..."

As the dean of Baichuan Academy, Gongsun Jin gave up his seat to the gentleman who presided over the literary meeting next to him after he finished his opening speech.

Li Fangyu stepped forward: "Hello everyone, my surname is Li, you can call me Mr. Li."

"Next, I want to introduce to you the judges of this essay meeting, as well as the rules of the essay meeting," Li Fangyu looked at the speech in his hand, and began to introduce:
"Gao Shilian, a scholar from Tiande Academy, Liang Hongsheng, a scholar from Hanchen Academy, Chi Changxu, a scholar from Huating Academy, and Gu Zhicheng, a scholar from our Baichuan Academy."

Every time a name is reported, the corresponding person will stand up and bow to the people below, and then sit down again.

Li Fangyu glanced at the remaining two judges, one was the finale Leling Mansion's instruction, and the other was the little-known female mountain head of a small academy.

Although he didn't understand why his dean made such a decision, Li Fangyu gritted his teeth and introduced:
"This time, our Baichuan Academy shows our respect for other local academies. We have specially invited An Xinshan, the head of Wanhua Academy in Lin'an County, to be the judge of this literary meeting."

When she was introduced to An Xin, there was complete silence.

An Xin stood up and cupped her hands as well. The advantage of being thick-skinned is that she can sit back calmly in the face of contemptuous and contemptuous eyes.

Anyway, she is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Li Fangyu raised his sleeves and wiped away the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, "I would like to introduce that Bai Huaqing, the instructor of our Leling Mansion, as an important judge this time, will make the most fair judgment for everyone."

At this time, bursts of applause rang out from the audience, after all, it was an edict from a government, and it still had to give face.

"This year, after poetry, fu, arithmetic, debate, and the six arts of a gentleman, we have added calligraphy to test memory."

Finally: "I hope that all the students can give full play to the literary talents they have learned in this literary meeting, and add luster to themselves and the college they are studying in."

"As in previous years, the top three in each competition will get a scholarship. No.1 can get 150 taels, No.2100 taels, and No.350 taels. Although it is not much, it is also a kind of reward."

Li Fangyu took a deep breath and finally finished the introduction.

Next is the registration time. As long as each student has enough ability, he can register for multiple registrations.

Li Ziyu is optional, and signed up for the painting in the Six Arts of Gentlemen.

Leng Xiangbai was ashamed, and signed up. He was good at piano.

Zhu Shijing has been abused by his own big devil in the past two years, his chess skills have grown like a rocket, if he doesn't sign up to play chess, what else can he sign up for.

Horseback riding and archery are the strengths of military generals. As a descendant of generals, Liu Boxing cannot be said to have grown up on horseback since he was a child. At least he is very familiar with and professional in both.

I saw him stepping steadily to the place where he registered for riding and archery, and boldly declared his name.

The venomous boy didn't even think about it, so he walked to the debate registration office, and it was his hobby to fight people, and no one could stop him.

An Xin looked at the little cousin who was still standing next to her, not moving, and raised her eyebrows: "Is there nothing you want to participate in?"

An Rui said without shyness: "Cousin, you don't know that I am an all-around player. I know a little about everything, but I am not proficient in anything."

An Xin nodded: "Well, I'm quite self-aware."

"You don't need to be so blunt, cousin, you don't have to worry about hurting my self-esteem as the noble only Miao Miao of the An family." An Rui rubbed his chest in a funny way.

The students around who heard the conversation between the two cast contemptuous glances.I don't know anything, and I just came to participate in the literary meeting. Everyone seems to be watching them come to be funny.

An Xin: "It's all here, go over there to have a look, and apply for one. Haven't you heard of it? The result of the competition is not important, the important thing is to participate."

An Rui is a good young man who listens to advice and eats his fill, so he really listened to what An Xin said and went to the registration office to have a look.

"Aren't you going?" An Xin looked at Kong Xun.

Kong Xun looked at the crowded registration office, and frowned slightly, "I...I just want to come here with you to have a look, I never thought about signing up for the competition."

While the two were talking, a sarcastic voice came from the side.

"Did you see that? Those students from Wanhua Academy all signed up for the six arts that had nothing to do with their knowledge.

They must have average knowledge to choose those competitions, and they don't know how the so-called female mountain head did not know how to be a judge of the Baichuan Academy Literary Association this time. "

"That's right, I've never heard of this Wanhua Academy. If you want a name but no name, you want knowledge but no knowledge. How dare you be a judge at such a large literary conference."

When the people around heard these remarks, they also looked at them with strange eyes, and it could be seen from their expressions that these people also agreed with what they said.

He felt that An Xin's role as a judge was unworthy of virtue, and he just made up for it.
