"I'm all ears." Song Chi scratched his ears.
The conversation between the two attracted a lot of people's attention, and they all gathered around to watch the fun.
So far, no one has passed the Hongzhu table. Starting from the second level, the difficulty will increase. A group of people will be strictly controlled, and each person will only have one chance. If they do not match, they will be eliminated directly.
"This couplet wasn't part of the exam question, but I once heard it from a talented scholar. He said it was an absolute and told me not to spread it. I didn't want to come up with such a difficult couplet, but you insisted on asking for trouble!"
Hong Zhu shouted, "Listen to me!"
She was speaking to Song Chi, but actually she was also speaking to the people around her.
This is also an opportunity to increase your value.
"My first line of the couplet is, 'Scales use length to measure weight.' If you can match that, you've passed!"
After saying this, Hongzhu put her hands on her hips with an arrogant look, which made her chest look even more surging.
"That's it?"
Song Chi looked surprised and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, what is your level as a prostitute?"
He knew that the prostitutes in brothels only sold their skills and not their bodies. Some of them had some talents, but most of them were just trying to gild themselves and still relied on their skills to make a living.
"What do you mean?"
Hong Zhu felt offended when she saw the disdain in Song Chi's eyes.
"You've been deceived by that so-called genius. This isn't an absolute at all. It's just a simple pair."
Song Chi shook his head and said directly: "The fight depends on the height and quantity."
"This is the second line I came up with."
Hongzhu stood there in a daze, muttering to herself.
Scales are paired with buckets, use is paired with support, length is paired with height, lightness is paired with quantity.
this……
How did he get it right so easily?
"Goodbye."
According to the rules, as long as he gets the answer right, he can move to the next level.
"What's your name?" Hong Zhu asked hurriedly.
"Song Chi."
"Song Chi? Why does this name sound so familiar?" Hong Zhu murmured.
"He is Song Chi?"
The onlookers were shocked.
"Could he be the Song Chi who said he would win the championship?"
"yes."
Everyone was talking about it, and Song Chi had already entered the next field.
This is still a couplet, but the form is different.
There are several Confucian scholars in front of you. They are the ones who set the questions. Everyone has to pass in front of them and answer the couplets they set within three breaths. If it takes more than three breaths, it will be considered a failure and you can take a boat directly to the north bank.
The pace has been significantly accelerated and the difficulty has been greatly increased.
At this point we start to eliminate people, and we will eliminate all those who have no talent and are trying to take advantage of the situation.
Everyone faces the question setter alone and has no idea what questions will be asked. They can only answer them on their own. Without real skills and knowledge, they will naturally be eliminated.
Although there was a long queue ahead, people passed by very quickly. Each person only had three breaths of time, which meant that they had to answer the test questions immediately after they were given. This was really difficult.
Eight out of ten people were eliminated and then went to the river to take a boat to the north bank.
"Give me ten breaths, no, give me five breaths and I can answer it!"
"What kind of bullshit rule is this? There's not even time for people to think!"
Some people were dissatisfied with being eliminated and started cursing, but soon the yamen runners took them away and drove them onto the boat.
"You won't admit it. Even if I give you half an hour, you still can't answer. Aren't you embarrassing yourself by being so shameless?"
At this time, a disdainful voice sounded.
Everyone looked and saw that the person who was speaking was a young man. He was wearing a white robe, which was whiter than snow, with fluttering sashes. His appearance could not be seen clearly because his back was turned to them, but he spoke in an arrogant manner.
"If you feel you can't do it, leave early to avoid embarrassment!"
This was an extremely impolite statement, mainly because the impact was very wide-ranging and some people were dissatisfied at the moment.
"Do you dare to say that you can match it?"
"Yes, how dare you look down on us like that!"
Some people were dissatisfied and shouted curses.
"snort!"
"If I can't enter Fanlou, I'm not Fang Yingwu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him fell silent.
Fang Yingwu was also a famous talent in Jiangzhou. He was known for his arrogance, but he had the capital to be arrogant.
Because he was good at writing poems and was handsome, he was quite popular among prostitutes.
Known as the brothel poet.
Song Chi had also heard of this man's reputation. He was a role model for our generation and the number one person who got something for free.
This person is extremely good at hyping up his image. There are many love stories between him and prostitutes in the market, and there is a new one almost every month.
Song Chi was too familiar with this routine.
"snort!"
Seeing that no one was talking, Fang Yingwu flicked his sleeves and ignored them.
Soon it was his turn, and under the gaze of everyone, he passed the test and left.
He does have the ability.
"Head of the club!"
Just then, Song Chi heard someone nearby calling him softly.
"Li Yi."
The person who called him was the former head of the Donglin Society of Nandu Academy. After Song Chi entered the academy, he gave up the position of head in public.
The situation at that time was very clear. He and Li Yi had no friendship and had never met before. Why would Li Yi just give up the position of head of the society?
It is obvious that someone was telling this behind the scenes. It goes without saying that this person is Feng Yuan.
With Feng Yuan's approval, Song Chi took over as the head of the society, and he also needed to train his own people...
Li Yi didn't shout loudly, as he didn't want Song Chi to attract too much attention.
The two greeted each other, Song Chi lined up in the queue, and soon it was his turn.
Song Chi narrowed his eyes slightly. He had seen the scholar who set the question before.
On the day he entered Nandu Academy, the supervisor Liu Feng came forward to make things difficult for him. He was accompanied by several teachers from the academy, and this person was one of them.
"Just because of you, you think you can take the top spot?"
