Chapter 589 589. Self-inflicted humiliation (25)

Cao Changkun saw that Mu Chongli went to ask a child on purpose, and felt a little strange, so he stared at Chu Xuyao for a while.

The child has a clever and cunning face, with big cat eyes, he is very clever at a glance.

How could such a child not belong to their Guozijian?

Cao Changkun couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

Mu Chongli pointed to the pair, and asked Chu Xuyao, "Can you match?"

Chu Xuyao shook his head, but still said confidently, "I can't, but I believe I can in the future."

Mu Chongli laughed, "I also believe you can."

Cao Changkun looked at the clever and smart Chu Xuyao, and couldn't help but said, "Would you like to come to our Imperial Academy to study? Imperial Academy is much better than Yunfei Academy. As long as you come, I will take special care of you."

He said this, on the one hand, he really thought Chu Xuyao was good, and of course, it was more to embarrass Yunfei Academy, no, to embarrass Mu Chongli.

When Mu Chongli heard this, he immediately glared at Cao Changkun, "Did you take me too seriously for poaching the wall in front of me?"

Cao Changkun patted Mu Chongli's shoulder with a smile, "Don't get excited, kid, it's not good to ask."

Okay, let's see who loses face, Mu Chongli reached out and patted Chu Xuyao on the back, "Tell him where you want to study."

Chu Xuyao tilted his head, looked at the two of them, and asked Cao Changkun, "Master Jijiu, will studying in the Imperial College guarantee that I will be the number one scholar?"

Well…

Cao Changkun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chu Xuyao to ask such a tricky question. He thought for a moment and answered, "Of course not. What you take for the exam depends on yourself, and no one else can help you."

Chu Xuyao said very simply, "Master Jijiu said that Guozijian is better. I thought that if I went to Guozijian, I would be able to take the number one examination."

Cao Changkun quickly changed his words, "I was joking just now, don't take it seriously."

Chu Xuyao nodded, "Oh."

People, "…"

The little guy looks clever, but he is actually very clever!

Mu Chongli looked at Cao Changkun's deflated appearance with satisfaction. If he wanted to poach a wall, he had to see if his **** was strong, otherwise he would be humiliating himself.

However... the couplet has not been matched yet.

But there was movement in the Go competition area, one by one was eliminated, and the rest sat in their seats, watching Chu Xuyuan and Lin Jixian play chess.

The chessboard of the two little guys is almost full again. Obviously their chess skills are not very good, but they surprisingly attracted everyone's attention. After all, two consecutive draws are not common.

"Could it be a draw again this time?"

"If it is still a tie, it will be three times. How did they play?"

"I'm also very curious. Any flaw can make the whole chess game lose the chance to save it. There are countless flaws in a game of chess. They won't just go around the flaws, right?"

"It is said that Lin Jixian's chess skills are higher, but Chu Xuyuan can fill in the holes every time, so there is a chance of a draw."

"No way? How fast can this be done?"

"I don't know, anyway Chu Xuyuan did it."

"..."

"Ping!" When everyone's guesses were divergent, the sound of chess pieces being placed on the plate sounded clear, followed by Chu Xuyuan's voice, which was brisk and joyful.

Lin Jixian pressed his hands on the table, staring at the chessboard, very upset, "Chu Xuyuan..."

Chu Xuyuan asked calmly, "What advice do you have?"

"I will definitely win you in the next round." Lin Jixian stared at Chu Xuyuan and put down his harsh words.

"Let's talk after we win." In fact, Chu Xuyuan already thought it was good enough, and he thought he would be eliminated in the first game.

Lin Jixian snorted, "Don't be arrogant!" After speaking, he pushed aside the crowd and left a little irritated.

The next game will be played again the next day.

Chu Xuyuan walked towards Chu Qingzhi, in a good mood, "Fifth Sister, we can go home now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xuyao ran over, "Fifth Sister, they are at an impasse." After speaking, seeing Chu Xuyuan, "Seventh brother, are you done?"

Chu Xuyuan nodded, "Well, today's competition is over." Then he asked, "What did you say just now that you are deadlocked?"

Chu Xuyao pointed, "Over there, our academy and the Imperial College are comparing couplets. Now that the comparison is at the end, the couplets produced by both sides are very difficult, and then they are stumped."

Chu Xuyuan looked up, everyone was thinking, it seemed difficult, "Come on, let's go and have a look before going home."

Several people walked over together.

Whoever can match these two couplets will be famous all over the world, but between the two academies, it will definitely have more face.

But after a cup of tea, there was still no movement.

Suddenly, Zhuang Yuyan walked to the desk and wrote down, "The end of this year, the beginning of next year, and the end of each year follows the beginning of the year."

Everyone craned their necks and lo and behold...

As soon as Zhuang Yuyan put down his pen, there was a burst of applause from around, "The battle is extremely neat, time against time, yes, yes!"

This small area became lively because of this pair of couplets. It happened that some games were over, and everyone gathered around to watch. Soon the news of Zhuang Yuyan's pairing was spread throughout the Imperial College.

Compared to the students of Yunfei Academy, the students of Guozijian were very unhappy, staring at each other, showing dissatisfaction.

Yan Jingkui sighed and shook his head helplessly, "Brother Zhuang, can you tell me the second line?"

Zhuang Yuyan didn't say anything, because he didn't know how to say, "It's very late today, and I'll tell you the next couplet tomorrow. If Brother Yan can match the couplet tomorrow, it will be a tie, how about it?"

At first, everyone thought that Zhuang Yuyan was putting on airs, but when they heard that it was beneficial to the Imperial Academy, no one said anything, and they all dispersed.

…

On the way, Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao were suddenly stopped by Qin Hechun and Lu Chaojian, "Xu Yuan, Xu Yao, the academy has a party in Tainanju, I came here to call you."

The two brothers went to see Chu Qingzhi together.

Chu Qingzhi said, "You guys go, I'll have my third brother pick you up later."

Qin Hechun waved his hands and said, "Miss Chu, no need. We'll have dinner later, and we'll send our junior brother home."

Chu Qingzhi said politely, "Then I will trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Chu Xuyuan said, "Fifth Sister, Brother Jing Hong, let's go then."

"good."

Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong watched the few people go away before continuing to walk back.

Not long after, Ren Buqing walked over quickly with two soldiers, "General Tang, I have something very important to tell you."

"What's up?"

Ren Buqing felt a bit worried, "It's not convenient here, can I trouble General Tang to come with me to Dali Temple?"

Tang Jinghong turned to Chu Qingzhi and said, "Qingzhi, I'm going to Dali Temple."
