Chapter 98 Banquet at Jiayun Tower
Seeing this, Su Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded slightly, then shook his head, and said with a half-smile:
"Yes, but not entirely. To be specific, you can get in this time. How happy are you?"
Meng Yunlan's eyes widened in surprise, and then the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and he sighed:
"I'm afraid it won't work. I know the rules of Jiayun Tower. I'm not a scholar, so I definitely can't get in."
Su Yuan walked to the side slowly and sat down. After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, he said leisurely:
"Our academy's principal Yin Shan is a great calligrapher and has a very good relationship with King Nanyou. This time, in order to celebrate the new students entering the academy, she waited for more than half a month before asking the prince for permission to hold a banquet in the building."
"In order to make it more lively, each student is allowed to bring one family member in. I will take you there tomorrow!"
After that, she glanced at Meng Yunlan's face full of surprise, sighed softly, and said with a curled lip:
"Time is running out. You have to attend the banquet tomorrow morning. Why don't you go pick out some clothes now?"
After hearing this, Meng Yunlan, who usually had a dignified and calm face, was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She nodded and agreed:
"Yes, my wife is right. I will go back to the courtyard to pick out clothes and jewelry, and I will also pick out a set for you."
After saying this, he stood up from his chair and walked out, shouting to Banyan who was standing beside him:
"Banyan, come back to the house with me and serve me."
Banyan pursed her lips and nodded:
"yes."
The master and servant left the main hall one after another, leaving Su Yuan alone sitting at the head of the hall.
She looked at Meng Yunlan's departing back, a triumphant smile on her lips.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
call.
Finally no more tonic soup!
In the early morning, the whole world is cool, and the sunlight shines gently on everything through the light mist, creating a unique and pleasing feeling.
Jiaying Building.
Su Yuan and her husband got off the carriage and handed the invitation to the guard outside the door for inspection.
Following the attendant who led the way, we passed through the corridor and arrived at a hall with carved beams and painted walls, full of elegance.
At this moment, many students had already arrived in the hall with their families, and the two were guided to sit in the first row at the bottom.
Su Yuan turned her head and nodded lightly to her classmate. She said nothing more and started to enjoy the tea and snacks on the table with her husband.
There's nothing I can do about it. It's because she has been concentrating on studying for the past half month and not interested in hanging out with other people.
That's because of this.
This indirectly led to the fact that, except for Gu Ranran and Lin Sanyue from the same school, she only knew the names of other people and had never even spoken a word to them.
When Su Yuan and others were almost falling asleep.
Five people walked up to the front. Except for Director Wen, Su Yuan had never seen the other four before.
But then, through the words of the gentle-looking white-haired old man in the middle, she understood most of it:
"Dear students, my surname is Yin, and I am the principal of Huachen Academy. Today, I invite you to this Jiayun Building for a banquet. We, the managers of the academy, want to see the knowledge and style of this class of students, so we set up a banquet in this building."
After that, she glanced at the people below with a smile in her eyes and asked with a faint smile:
"I don't know where the cases of Tongcheng and Luocheng are."
Su Yuan calmly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up with Ye Qingyu who was opposite him, bowed and said:
"Student Su Yuan (Ye Qingyu) meets with Principal Yin."
Yin Zhenghong glanced at the two of them, his eyes lingering on Ye Qingyu for a moment without him noticing, and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, both of you are outstanding students, both of you are very talented and outstanding, you are worthy of being the top students selected from big cities. Huachen is lucky to have you!"
After saying this, she looked upstairs calmly, waved her hand downstairs, and said:
"Please sit down, both of you. Don't be shy. I just want to get to know you."
Su Yuan and Ye Qingyu responded "yes" and sat down slowly and gracefully.
After the two of them sat down, Yin Zhenghong winked at Master Wang beside him, indicating that she should speak.
Master Wang understood, curled his lips, and followed what Yin Shanzhang had told him to do when he came. He picked up a piece of osmanthus cake on the table and held it in front of his eyes, and suggested casually:
"Haha, autumn is here, and the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are in full bloom. They can be used in cooking and can also be used for viewing. Today, since we old ladies want to see the style of the younger generation, why don't you students use the sweet-scented osmanthus to write a poem for us to see."
Before Yin Zhenghong spoke, Wen Tangzhang on the left became interested and laughed twice. He turned his head to Yin Zhenghong in the middle and suggested in a long voice:
"Shanzhang, I think Master Wang's suggestion is good, but this is said to be a test of the students' knowledge, but in fact it is also a poetry contest. If this is the case, it will not do without a prize. How about-"
"Hehe, why don't you take out your treasured painting of autumn scenery in Dongli as a prize, so that all the students can have something to look forward to."
Without waiting for Yin Zhenghong to answer, she took out a jade pendant from her waist and said pitifully:
"But I'm not trying to trick you. I'm adding a little bit of luck to myself. But after all, I'm not a contemporary calligraphy master like Shanzhang. I can't produce such a precious painting. So I'll just use this jade pendant!"
Yin Zhenghong pursed his lips, his fingers clenched white under his sleeves, but his face remained calm as he agreed:
"Well, of course you can. It's just a painting. It happens to be stored in Jiayun Tower. I'll ask someone to get it right away."
She waved to the attendant of Jiaying Tower standing beside her, indicating her to do as she said.
The other three people at the table, seeing that the dean and the hall master had both received honors, turned grim-faced and took off their rings or jade pendants and placed them on the table.
I saw that the stage had already been set up, and I had spent a lot of money to build it myself.
Yin Zhenghong pursed his lips lightly and clapped his hands. Attendants came forward from both sides of the hall, removed the tea and snacks on the students' tables, and replaced them with the pens, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared long ago.
Seeing this, Su Yuan tilted his head slightly, glanced at the green-clad attendant who retreated, and frowned as he looked at the four treasures of the study on the table.
It changes so quickly.
I had planned to examine their knowledge.
Thinking of this, Su Yuan dispelled the doubts that arose in his heart.
It's normal to want to test everyone's background in the academy, but there is one bad thing...
It is true that her advantage is that she has a photographic memory.
But the downside is that I am not very good at writing poetry!
Looking at the white paper in front of him, Su Yuan let out a light click of his tongue.
If the poem she came up with was too different from her own ranking, it would probably arouse suspicion and people would think she might have cheated.
