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

Chapter 66 Chapter 66

When Mr. Gongsun Jin learned that An Xin's student won No. 1 in riding and archery, he just smiled and said nothing.

Liu Boxing came to An Xin, scratched the back of his head and gave a naive smirk.

An Xin patted his strong shoulder and praised: "As expected of my student, this horseback riding skill is really good."

Several other people rolled their eyes, "..." The head of the hill is good at putting gold on his face again.

Liu Boxing, who was praised no matter what, was still very happy.

To celebrate his winning the No. 1 in the riding and shooting competition, An Xin specially ordered a roast chicken for him from the big kitchen.

An Rui looked at the big chicken drumsticks that were placed on the plate in front of Liu Boxing. The meat was firm and plump, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Hearing the sound of Liu Boxing gnawing on the chicken leg and the contented expression on his face, An Rui couldn't help but quietly stretched out his chopsticks, thinking that Liu Boxing would thank him for helping him share one.

As a result, the chopstick he stretched out was empty, and Liu Boxing didn't know whether it was intentional or not, so he picked up the other chopstick and put it in his bowl.

It seems that he didn't see the chopsticks that An Rui stretched out.

Liu Boxing gnawed on the rattling fragrance.

This is an extra dish that Chief Xiaoshan specially ordered for him from the big kitchen at his own expense. Forget about anything else, these two big chicken legs are a reward.

There is no such thing as a humble brother.

Li Ziyu glanced at it, and took away a chicken wing from the plate expressionlessly.

An Rui missed the chicken leg, and saw that one of the chicken wings had been caught, so he extended his chopsticks to the other chicken wing.

The wicked Zhu Shijing's eyes flashed with cunning, and before An Rui's chopsticks fell, he picked up the other chicken wing.

An Rui stared blankly at the roast chicken that lacked chicken wings and drumsticks on the plate, and looked up at the few who were eating with relish.

He felt he was being targeted, but he had no proof.

"Puchi!" An Xin usually wouldn't laugh unless she couldn't help it.

On the second day, the competition was the recitation that Anrui signed up for, which was to test the students' memory.

A lot of students signed up, more than 300 people signed up.

Because too many people signed up, the elimination system was adopted.

In the same time, whoever can memorize a book will enter the second round, and so on until the last one left wins.

An Xin sat in the seat with five other judges this time, and she was very satisfied with the seat when she saw the people standing there watching the competition.

Gu Zhicheng, the judge sent by Baichuan Academy, nodded kindly to An Xin. This is the judge chosen by his own dean, so he still wants to save face.

The scribes sent by the other three academies to be judges were not so friendly.

Gao Shilian, a scribe of Tiande Academy, held his head high and looked arrogant, as if his mother was not a woman.

Liang Hongsheng from Hanchen Academy took a look at An Xin who was sitting there, but his contempt could not be concealed in his eyes.

Chi Changxu, a scribe of Huating Academy, showed his contempt for women to the fullest.Not only does looking at An Xin look like a pile of shit, but she also beeps while sitting there:
"Women should care for their husbands and children in the backyard. In my Daqian dynasty, there is no academy where women are the head of the mountain. I don't know what kind of extraordinary knowledge is there. I dare to sit here as a judge."

The contempt and disdain for An Xin was beyond words.

An Xin rolled her eyes contemptuously, if it were said that these people were literati, they would be impassioned and talk nonsense.

Looking at Bai Huaqing, the edict of Leling County, he is indeed a person with public office, and the city is deep.

Even if they also disapprove of her as a judge, she can manage her expressions well and smile politely.

An Xin also showed her eight teeth, bowing her hands to Bai Jiaoyu, this is the standard for socializing and socializing.

"Dangdangdang" a few gongs sounded, and the competition officially started.

In a lobby of Baichuan Academy that can accommodate thousands of students, hundreds of cushions are placed in the middle according to the number of applicants. At this time, each student has received a book of poetry.

A Book of Songs has about [-] characters, and for ordinary people, it would take several days to memorize it.

But this is a special test for memory. Of course, it is an unconventional recitation, and they are only given one hour to read silently.

For those who study imperial examinations, it is very important to have a good memory, which is also part of the talent for reading.

An Rui sat in the crowd, looking at the book of poetry in his hand intently, and kept chanting silently with his small mouth.

The Book of Songs is an imperial examination book that many scholars will read. This first round is obviously an appetizer given by the question maker.

Sure enough, most of the students in the first round recited it, and only a very few were eliminated.

Next, the students received the "University" with about five or six thousand words.

It is also an examination book, if you think about it in normal times, you may be able to memorize it.

But at this moment and here, in such a short period of time, there are still some students who, for various reasons, missed a few words or sentences when reciting.

This time, more than half of them were eliminated.

It took two days to decide the top ten in the competition of memory and reciting books.

For the rest of the top ten, the two days of concentrating on endorsement made them look pale.

Anrui is okay, because he drank the tea made with the blessing card, he completely defeated many people in terms of endorsement.

On the last day, what they had to recite was "Mencius" with more than 600 words.

It is difficult to memorize so many characters in a short period of time, but most scholars have memorized such imperial examination books.

However, it is still difficult for the remaining ten students to recite it verbatim.

Li Fangyu: "It's time."

The boy next to him went up and took back the books in the hands of ten of their students.

"Ge Guangyuan."

The student whose name was called was stunned for a moment, and his reaction was a little slow after using his brain for a long time.

He stuttered and recited, when he recited, "Old and old, and people's old, young and young, and people's young..."

From behind, he will never return on the road of missing words and sentences.

The next few people also missed sentences, and they missed words seriously.

In the end, there was only one student named Han Junbo left, and An Rui stood firm in the lobby. The two of them looked at each other, and sparks sparked in their dissatisfied eyes.

An Xin sat on the judging panel and looked at her little cousin, the corners of her lips curled up. The little guy is quite good, and he even made it to the final round.

Some of the people watching felt sorry for the students of their own academy who went to participate in the competition. Usually they have good memory and fast memorization, but at this time because of nervousness, they missed a few words, and maybe they missed the ranking because of this.

"Han Junbo."

Han Junbo, who was named by Li Fangyu, looked away, took a step forward, and began to recite the contents of "Mencius".

"He who enjoys the joy of the people, enjoys the joy of the people, and those who worry about the worries of the people, the people also worry about their excellence. Worry about the world, and enjoy the world," Han Junbo's eyes flickered when he recited here, and he gritted his teeth and continued : "However, if there is no king, there is no one..."

After reciting the entire Mencius, Han Junbo lowered his head in frustration.
