Chapter 157: Switching Papers, Poetry Showcase



Kyoto,

After Feng Guangzong and Hu Jincheng's commotion, many students lost their minds. Fortunately, He Tuyuan had the diluted water from Yi Yami's Fountain of Youth and the items sent by Du Yinye, so he didn't let others disrupt his rhythm.

The exam continued, and many candidates who were mentally broken left the exam room early.

He Tuyuan was never influenced by these people.

After three days of examinations, the door of the examination hall slowly opened and many candidates walked out in a dazed state, without a smile on their faces.

Qian Duoduo came forward. Although He Tuyuan looked unhappy, he still looked energetic. "My dear cousin, how are you?"

"I won't say anymore. I'm going to go back and wash myself. I'm stinking to death. Many people in there didn't have charcoal ash like your boss gave me after they defecated and pissed. The stench is terrible. I feel like I stink too." He Tuyuan was a little disgusted with himself.

Qian Duoduo heard this and said, "Okay, let's go back."

During these three days, Feng Guangzong and Hu Jincheng were often criticized by their parents.

But after all, both of them were beloved sons of their families. Their sons had done something bad but failed, which led to the current situation. Prime Minister Feng and Lord Hu were not pushovers either. They informed the other invigilators, thinking that since their sons had met with such a bad end and would never be able to take the exam in their lifetime, the man surnamed He should not expect any good ending either.

Among the other invigilators, several were disciples of Prime Minister Feng. They were in the same boat with Prime Minister Feng and naturally listened to Prime Minister Feng's words.

When they were checking the papers, they swapped the paper of a poor student with He Tuyuan's.

He Duyuan didn't know all this.

He Tuyuan returned to Qi Beiting's villa, took a comfortable bath, and changed into clean clothes before he felt alive again.

Qi Beiting ended his position as invigilator and could not participate in the remaining work of grading the papers. The chief examiner was Mo Wen.

However, Mo Wen only reviewed the well-written papers after the other examiners had finished reviewing them in order to determine the final ranking.

Qi Beiting came to play with He Tuyuan, but Gu Beijian was not there, so he was very bored.

"Old He, let me tell you, you've worked hard too. Come with me to the Weileshi Club to have some fun." Qi Beiting put his arm around He Tuyuan's shoulders like a brother.

"What is the Weilaishi Club?" He Tuyuan looked confused.

"That's Kyoto's annual poetry-writing event for talented men and beautiful women. I thought you'd be free anyway, so why not come with me and join in the fun? I suffered a loss last time, and now with you, I can avenge myself." Qi Beiting said with a smile.

He Tuyuan glanced at him and said, "So that's what you mean."

Qi Beiting said shamelessly, "If a friend uses it, then I should use it. What do you think?"

He Tuyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help you."

The two of them got in the carriage and left.

The scene of Weilai Poetry Festival

Mo Wen sat at the top, with several other great scholars sitting beside him.

The host was a young and elegant woman. "Everyone, we are fortunate to have invited several great scholars, such as Master Mo Wen, Master Huang Fang, Master Lan Xiang, and so on. I hope that this year's poetry gathering will see some new and excellent works. Well, I will not waste your time by saying so much nonsense. The theme of our poetry this time is beauty, longing, and the distance. Please give your answers to the questions. Please hand your poems to the staff next to you. Our staff will help you stick them on the wall so that you can appreciate each other. Everyone has five red flower papers in their hands. You can choose your favorite masterpiece. The contestant with the most red flowers will win the Best Work Award this year. The prize is a set of high-quality tooth powder from Meirenfang and a famous piano. After the top three are selected by everyone, the great scholars will choose the final one."

Qi Beiting introduced her, "This is Qin Yangyang, a talented woman from Kyoto, the younger sister of Prince Xiaoyao's wife, and Gu Beijian's aunt."

He Tuyuan nodded. He wasn't very interested, but when he thought about the fact that she was a relative of Gu Beijian, he took another look and said, "This aunt looks very young..."

"How can she not be young? Qin Yangyang is thirty years old, and she hasn't chosen a husband to marry yet, nor has she given birth. She doesn't have to worry about anything and just focuses on studying every day." Qi Beiting was like a gossipy woman at the entrance of the village.

"Then what official position does she hold?" He Tuyuan asked.

"There isn't any official position. Although the customs of our Yinwei country are open, they are not open enough to allow women to become officials." Qi Beiting said with a smile.

He Tuyuan glanced again at Qin Yangyang, who was on the stage, full of vigor and energy, not afraid of discussing poetry and debating with great scholars. A ray of sunlight fell on her, like bits of gold.

"It looks good." He Tuyuan exclaimed in appreciation.

Qi Beiting's eyes deepened slightly. "Why? Do you like her?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Didn't I tell you that after I make the list, I will go home to marry my Ye'er? Have you forgotten? There will never be another person in my heart. If you say she is pretty, I am just impressed by her confident aura, which is not like that of ordinary women. In terms of appearance, although Miss Qin is not bad, I still think my Ye'er is the prettiest." He Tuyuan explained anxiously.

Qi Beiting felt relieved when he saw that He Tuyuan was not interested in her.

He Tuyuan glanced at him and asked, "What?"

Qi Beiting saw Qin Yangyang coming over and immediately changed the subject, "Hurry up and write. I'll be done in a while, and you haven't come out yet!"

Qin Yangyang came over and greeted Qi Beiting, "Hey, Fifth Prince, you're here again this year?"

"Well, I won't lose to you this year. I brought helpers!" Qi Beiting said with a pout.

"Hahaha, I hope you get what you want." Qin Yangyang glanced at He Tuyuan.
