Chapter 14 Better Than My Sister!

After a while, the door of Lu's house opened.

A guy who looked like a butler came out of the door, with a haughty expression, a typical doggy.

A group of people quickly gathered around, but no one was talking nonsense. After all, there were so many people around, everyone tried their best to keep restraint, and let's not talk about whether to choose or not. We can't lose the etiquette of scholars in front of so many people, right?

But there are always people who are not so particular.

I only heard someone shout from the crowd——

"Housekeeper, with so many people, how do you select this book boy? Is there an interview?"

interview?What is an interview?
Why haven't they heard of this statement?Could it be the selection method that Lu Jiaxin came up with?So why would this person know?
Could it be?Could it be?This is the legendary appointed person?Could it be that the butler took his silver taels?
Damn it!Why didn't you tell the cashier earlier, I have it too... Hey, why didn't I think of sending some silver taels... Everyone felt regretful, and at the same time thought angrily:
We've been wasting all morning here - chatting...

They searched for the voice in unison, and everyone wanted to see who was doing it so blatantly, but they found that the speaker was a young man in a black Chinese robe, with a rather delicate appearance, but with his hair, he really didn't dare Compliments, warped and curly, messy.

It's not Zhang Twelve's fault, if you throw you on the street to sleep for a night, you won't be much better than him!

Hey, for the sake of his wearing such a fine robe, everyone planned to forgive him for a while!

The housekeeper frowned when he heard the question, and looked towards the source of the voice. After seeing the young man's clothes, his brows relaxed a little. , why is he acting in such a meng lang style?

Zhang Twelve didn't know that the robes he wore from the Qin family had quietly absorbed tons of damage for him. He probably knew that his first reaction was not to thank the Qin family, but to scold why people here are so snobbish. eyes?
"That's a good question, sir. I was ordered by the master to come here and announce the selection rules for today's book boys!"

"Will there be an interview then?"

Zhang Twelve was very troubled by this question, because he turned around and found that there was no one who looked better than him, hehe, if he had an interview, wouldn't he have a chance to win?
"Why an interview?"

The butler really doesn't understand.

"That's right - meet us face to face, have a chat, if you think it's good, just stay!"

"Yes - yes..."

In fact, the butler is not very sure. It seems that face-to-face communication is required for the assessment of poetry, right?Let's just count it!
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Twelve was full of joy, while the other scholars were sad with "I knew it would be like this".

These two people are still playing oboe, can we be fools?Just communicate and decide who stays, why don't you keep him now?

The scholars below whispered to each other, and finally discussed and decided. Now there is no evidence to prove that these two people are working together in shady ways. Let's look down. If the two people behind are really too obvious, they will definitely come out and expose them!
Zhang Twelve didn't know that he had become a public enemy at this moment. Such a simple conversation with the housekeeper could be misinterpreted. How could there be any reason?
The butler was very dissatisfied with the chattering behavior of the people below. He cleared his throat twice, and after seeing everyone looking at him again, he continued: "Because there are too many people here today, our master is worried about the people here. Some people are just here to join in the fun and don't have real talents. Even if they enter the Lu Mansion, it's just a waste of everyone's time, so I want to take an assessment before entering the entrance. Only those who pass the assessment can enter the Lu Mansion. What do you think? ?”

"it is good!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Good job!I'm afraid you won't take the test!
At that time, we will see if this person has real talents. If he is just an embroidered pillow and wants to get away with it, hehe, we will not agree!
The housekeeper didn't expect it to go so smoothly, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since everyone agrees, then I will talk about how to assess. It is said that seeing characters is like seeing people, and the calligraphy with the book boy must be passed first! So this assessment is that everyone comes and writes a character, only those with good characters can enter!"

"Ow~"

As soon as this remark came out, the scholars below had different reactions, some were happy while others were sad.

The news that the Lu family wanted to recruit a book boy was released a few months ago, because they knew that the master of the Lu family was fond of poetry and poetry, so the people who came this time have filled up a lot of poetry during this period of time, and they are not good at calligraphy. I didn't pay much attention to it, but now I hear that I have to take the calligraphy test first, and I can't help feeling flustered.

However, some scholars have read and written since they were young, and calligraphy is their basic skill, so after hearing this assessment, they smiled slightly and seemed much calmer.

…………

The butler called a few servants to bring tables and chairs from the courtyard and put them outside the courtyard gate, spread out a piece of rice paper on the table, and a little girl dressed as a maid stood beside the table, brushing and rubbing ink.

Zhang Twelve smiled, thinking that the ancients knew how to play, and Hongxiu Tianxiang was no problem.

When everything is ready, the assessment will officially begin.

The scholars took turns to come forward one by one. Since only one character was allowed to be written, everyone tacitly left a word "Lu" on the paper.

Because the assessment location was on the street, the table was full of people.

Sometimes there will be a sigh of "Hey" in the crowd, indicating that the person's handwriting is not very good, and then someone will come out of the crowd and sigh.

There will also be an exclamation of "wow" from the crowd. This must be some talented person who has shown his good words and won everyone's applause. the sense of sight.

But what makes Zhang Twelve depressed is that if you are proud, you can be proud, why are you looking at me so embarrassingly?You are here for the assessment, not to despise me, okay?
Ouch, headache!

Standing outside is also boring, so Zhang Twelve simply squeezed in to see how the writing of this group of people is.

As soon as I squeezed in, I heard a "wow", and then the person who had just finished writing the words clasped his fists and smiled at everyone: "Concession and concession", those who didn't know thought that this guy had already taken the first name, and some Shameless enough!
When the man saw Zhang Twelve, he suddenly twitched his lips, and said with a bit of malice: "Looking at the extraordinary clothes of this young man, he must be very talented. Mr. Guo, please give me some comments!"

Zhang Twelve is a little speechless, can this come to me?

It's really a person sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky!

Then without saying much, he looked at the word "Lu" on the table.

The writing of this character is not bad, but in the eyes of high-level Chinese students who have copied Yan style Liu style and even Wang Xizhi's running script many times, this word is just so-so!
"it is good!"

When Guo Chao heard Zhang Twelve's one-word comment, he smiled slightly, thinking that he knew you well, and at the same time he was not without complacency, and then he heard Zhang Twelve slowly say the second sentence:

"Much better than my sister!"
