Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 422
The problem of the test questions is solved, and the next step is the rules of the game.

"The competition system is three rounds and two wins. Both men and women can send ten people to fight in each round. The contestants, the men are students from Taixue, and the women are from the four private schools."

"Wait, dare to ask the officials, can you include the ladies of various families in the competition?" Master Li asked.

There were 800 Taixue students. Although there were not so many on site, the rules of the competition did not stipulate that only those on site could participate, and the total number of students from the four major private schools was only [-].

In order to increase the odds of winning, Master Li felt that it was necessary to bring in the noble ladies from the capital.

She had already discussed this matter with the ladies just now, and they all wanted to participate.After all, this is fighting for the rights and interests of the entire Song Dynasty women, and they are also very happy to contribute their own strength.

The servant turned to ask the official.

Zhao Duan nodded: "Yes."

Since it is a dispute between men and women, it naturally has no scope.

"The officials agreed to allow your ladies to participate, and said that there are other women on the scene who are willing to participate in the competition. You will decide the test questions yourself, and the one who beats the opponent is the winner."

"Come up with your own question?"

There was another discussion underneath.

The noble ladies thought: "It's fair, that's why, so the candidates have to think carefully about the candidates." It's best for everyone to be good at different things, so that it's possible to catch all the opponent's tricks.

On the side of Taixue, the students of Taixue also urgently gathered to discuss countermeasures and candidates. This is a major issue related to the dispute between men and women. If they lose, they can't afford to lose this person.

Not only has he lost the face of the Taixue, but also the face of the men in the world. I am afraid that he will be cast aside and ridiculed for a long time.

Over there, the four masters of the private school gathered together to discuss for a long time, and finally decided on the first round. Each private school sent two students with the most extensive knowledge, and the remaining two places were selected from the ladies.

There is a reason for this decision.

Although the noble ladies are all scholarly heirs and have a profound background, because they are noble girls, they spend more time in boudoirs than outsiders since childhood, and the students of the four major private schools are mostly petty official families or even merchants. People's background.

These children may not have a lot of books at home, but because they don't have so many constraints, they spend more time running outside.

There is an old saying: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

Therefore, in the game of broad knowledge, they think that private school students have more advantages.

As for the second round, they gave more places to noble ladies from aristocratic families.

As I said before, noble ladies have a deep family background, have a lot of books at home, and stay in the boudoir for a long time, so they spend more time reading and read a wider range of books, which is more beneficial for the second game.

Therefore, each of the four major private schools will only send one student, and the remaining six places will be given to the ladies.

As for the third game, the strategy is quick and intelligent, and this has to be considered in all aspects.

It is necessary to be smart, nimble and quick to respond, but also have sufficient background and a big picture, otherwise it will be difficult to take on the big responsibility.

Wen Shu watched for a long time, seeing that his master had no intention of choosing her, so he could only go forward and recommend himself.

Although she has only studied for a short period of time, and she may not be as good as your classmates and noble ladies in terms of poetry and calligraphy, but in terms of knowledge and knowledge, there is a system to back her up, and she thinks she should be able to learn a lot.

Even in the general meaning and strategy of poetry and books, there may be unique tricks.

After all, the system has collected 8000 years of ancient literature, and with its backing, she can be regarded as standing on the shoulders of giants.

Although this act is suspected of cheating, but it is related to his father's life and death and the rights and interests of the women of Song Dynasty, so she can only fight.

Li Jingzhen was in a bit of a dilemma. Although she was very optimistic about Wen Shu and knew that the child was smart and smart, this competition was about the rights and interests of all women, and the places were limited, so Wen Shu had only a short time to study.
Knowing what she was worried about, Wen Shu said solemnly: "I know what Master is worried about, but I have confidence. This competition is about my father's life and death. I will not do anything foolish. Please believe me, Master."

Seeing the certainty in her eyes, Li Jingzhen took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll give you the place in our school for the third round."

"Master Xie."

Li Jingzhen's move made the other masters present very puzzled, asking who is this?What are the advantages?Can it do it?

"It's my student below. She is alert and has a good memory. I want her to try it."

Although she had no idea, Li Jingzhen gave Wen Shu full trust in front of outsiders.

It is said that other masters have nothing to say, the places for Jingzhen Private School have already been given out, and their places still need to be negotiated.

After a while, the four private schools finally decided on the candidates, and at the same time, the ladies also selected two suitable candidates.

The candidates for both parties were determined, and immediately soldiers stepped forward to maintain order, and led the contestants to the downstairs of Xuandemen City, so that the officials and hundreds of officials upstairs could witness.

Below the city tower, soldiers held long guns to isolate an open space.

There is a table in the middle of the open space, and an incense burner is placed on the table, and three sticks of incense are inserted in the burner for timing.

On the east and west sides of the open space, four desks are lined up at a time. On the desks are the Four Treasures of the Study, and behind the desks are the contestants for this competition. The men are in the east and the women are in the west.

Except for the contestants, the rest were stopped by the soldiers outside the open space.

After the two parties stood still, Mr. Wang, an official from the Ministry of Rites, who was sent by the government to host, began to repeat the rules of the game.

"In the first round, both parties can agree on the test questions by themselves. The time for negotiation is limited to half a stick, and the time for answering questions is also half a stick. Those who fail to answer after the time limit win the question."

"A maximum of three questions can be asked in each game, and each question can be answered up to three times. The one with the most answers wins."

The next step is to let the representatives of both men and women draw lots. As a result, the woman's side draws the questions first.

"The match begins, burn the incense!"

As the voice fell, the women in the first row immediately formed a circle and began to discuss the topic selection.

Wen Shu stood in the last row as a participant in the third round, but she had sensitive ears and could clearly hear what the people in the first row were discussing.

"I saw one when I was a kid."

Everyone discussed in low voices for a while, and when the time limit for half a stick of incense came, they hesitated to finalize the three test questions.

"The time limit is up, please ask the woman to come up with a question."

The girls looked at each other, one of them wrote the answer on the paper of the case and submitted it to Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites, and the other, as a representative, asked the man the question.

This is the rule of the game, in case the other party answers the question and the party who made the question refuses to accept it.

"My lords have listened, may I ask what Qilin deer (giraffe) use to fight?"

The Taixue students were stunned at first, and then they exchanged ideas, what does the Qilin deer use to fight?This question is a bit beyond their expectations.

"Neck" After a while, a Taixue student stood up and said.

Master Wang glanced at the answer and announced: "The answer is correct."

The Taixue students cheered immediately.

Someone complimented the answerer, Brother Zhao knew about such a biased question, amazing!
The respondent smiled shyly, "Before I entered the Taixue, I was fortunate to live near Yujin Garden for a while, and I met it by chance."

"It's a coincidence."

Coincidentally or not, the other party finally answered.
