Chapter 177 Does she have good qualities?
In any banquet, you must first meet the host, but the gifted scholar's banquet is different. If you want to participate in the banquet, you must answer the questions first.
There are seven levels, and there are guards guarding the whole process. Everyone can take a turn. After all the answers are revealed and the assessment is completed, the selected people can take the seat.
Stacks of test papers were brought in, and Xiao Li and Song Junzhan sat on both sides, grading the papers together.
The motives of the young men from aristocratic families who came to participate were impure. Although there were many of them, there was a lot of water. Apart from all kinds of flowery words and praises, very few of them actually had real abilities.
After all, the truly capable children of aristocratic families have all been sent to officialdom for training, so there would be no time for a talent banquet hosted by a princess.
The annual lantern festival in Dengyun Tower is an opportunity for outstanding children of the family to prove themselves. There is no need to come to her princess's house to show off.
Besides, they all felt that this was Princess Xuanyang's husband selection banquet. Who dared to let them come and be harmed by Xiao Li?
Xiao Li saw an exaggerated love poem on a math paper. The wording was quite elegant. At the beginning, he was praising Xiao Li. I don’t know if this person has ever seen her. Anyway, he just opened his mouth. Praise her to the heavens and the earth, like a mysterious girl or a fairy, and then praise her beautiful qualities, eh? !
Does she have good qualities?
Then he told her his admiration for her and only wanted to meet her once to express his lovesickness.
Xiao Li didn't feel the affection, but she felt that she had been hurt.
He lowered his head and looked at the pile, and simply asked someone to take it to Song Junzhan.
Song Junzhan didn't understand at first. After a moment, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Li helplessly. Then he covered the paper and continued reading.
Some children from poor families also wrote love poems, which were not so straightforward but rather cryptic, expressing their admiration for the princess and their desire to serve her.
This effect doesn't look serious.
Putting aside these things, there were also some who had real abilities among them. Xiao Li picked out the ones he recognized. At last glance, half of them were written by Song Junzhan on the roster.
It starts from Chen hour and ends at You hour. At this moment, the sun sets and the sky is filled with sunset.
Everyone was getting a little impatient waiting, and even felt that the banquet for talented scholars in the princess's mansion was just to make fun of them. There was no banquet at all, and the princess just wanted to torture them.
Suddenly, rows of maids came out carrying carved lanterns, starting from the door and lighting up a brightly lit path.
In the middle of the road, Yang Jun, dressed in a dark red robe with wide sleeves, stood tall and straight, full of momentum.
He first took out the list and read it clearly and slowly: "Liu Yan, Tang Shuyu, Su Ziqi, Shi Mo, Chen Quan, Lin Yici, and Meng Xuan, seven people in total."
After reciting, he raised his hands and said: "I would like to invite talented people to come to the table!"
Both those who were read and those who were not read were dumbfounded.
"Only seven people? Only the chosen ones can take the seat?"
"Isn't this playing tricks on us?"
There are at least three hundred people attending today. They have been waiting since morning just to attend the banquet.
They could accept someone being wiped out, but they couldn't accept only seven people being left behind.
Can seven people still call a banquet?
Rong Qing stood in front of the guards in a suit of armor, majestic and majestic. He released the big sword in his hand with a 'dong' sound, full of domineering power.
Those long knives are not just decorations.
Yang Jun was dressed especially like a scholar today, and his temper looked much gentler. He stood next to Rong Qing with a smile, and waited until everyone fell silent before saying: "Since the princess is having a banquet, she will not neglect you. Please move over." A banquet has been prepared in the south courtyard. You can have a good time and enjoy the wine. ”
"The seven talented men who just shouted are sitting with the princess. If they don't come out, they will be regarded as abstaining and can leave on their own."
Seven people walked out under the hostile eyes of everyone. Some were calm and calm, while others were so nervous that their faces turned pale.
When no one noticed, an excited man in Tsing Yi was about to go out. Suddenly he was touched by the person next to him. His body shook for a moment and was stopped by someone. The figure next to him was wrong. And Guo walked forward.
Yang Jun glanced at the seven people. He didn't know what the princess' selection criteria were, but they all looked pretty good.
When his eyes fell on the last person, his pupils shrank instantly. This person said, no one will die tonight, right?
He strode up to it and checked the list carefully: "Your name is Liu Yan?" The man in green smiled slightly and nodded gracefully: "Yes, do you have any questions?"
Yang Jun looked at the face that was 60 to 70% similar to the former prince-in-law, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. If there was a problem, it would be a big problem.
However, people are chosen by the princess, and he cannot make the decision to expel them.
"No problem."
After speaking, he was about to take the person in, when someone suddenly stood up and stopped him, with arrogance in his eyes: "I am Xue Bin. I am here to pay homage to Princess Xuanyang at your Majesty's request. Please let me know."
Among the seven people, a young man wearing plain brocade clothes looked at Xue Bin in surprise when he heard this.
Among the people who came today, there were many young masters from aristocratic families. Xue Bin, the young master of the Xue family, was naturally noticed early on when he appeared among them.
I knew that he might have come here for the position of Prince Consort, but I didn't expect that he would move His Majesty out.
Yang Jun stopped him: "Wait a moment."
After listening to Yang Jun's report, Xiao Li was not surprised. He knew that the emperor would not wait quietly for her to make trouble.
"Missing."
If you don't invite me out, why don't you go on a blind date? The emperor didn't give her an explicit order, so it would be useless to move it out.
Yang Jun did not go out immediately, but first reported what happened to Liu Yan.
Looks 70% similar to Lu Yanzhi?
Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, which trick was this?
"Let's have a party."
Since Xiao Li was preparing for the banquet, he naturally made full preparations. Four hundred people were prepared for the banquet outside, but only three hundred people came in the end. Twenty places were prepared in the separate banquet hall, but only seven people were left in the end. .
But when selecting talents, it is better to lack them than to overfill them.
The extra tables were removed, leaving only eight seats.
Xiao Li sat in the middle, Song Junzhan sat under her right hand, and the other seven people took their seats in the order they had arranged.
Xiao Li came out, and the seven people stood up to greet him. Xiao Li raised his hand: "No courtesy, please sit down."
When everyone sat down, Xiao Li glanced around. When he saw the man's face clearly, although he knew it, he was still shocked.
"Your name is Liu Yan?"
Liu Yan looked at Xiao Li with a smile, his smile was calm and calm, but it seemed to have a deeper meaning: "Princess, I am the one you are."
Liu Yan's appearance looks very similar to Lu Yanzhi's at first glance, but his tone and demeanor are completely different. He has a smile in his eyes, which at first glance might mistakenly appear to be affectionate, but is actually romantic and frivolous.
Xiao Li thought about the questions he answered, and it was really difficult to connect with the person in front of him.
She suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Song Junzhan. Sure enough, he was looking at him seriously. When Xiao Li looked over, he shook his head slightly.
Xiao Li also just remembered that Liu Yan was one of the people on Song Junzhan's list. The information showed that his family was in dire straits and his life was very difficult. He worked in the study to make money, copying books, being a bookkeeper, and a waiter. He did everything.
How could such a person be able to afford to wear rich clothes, and have such a romantic attitude that only a dandy from a well-established family can have? It is obviously not the appearance of a person who writes every word strictly and seriously and is very realistic.
And the direction of this man's face is too obvious.
The Lu family is really unpleasant to look at.
"Someone, take him down!"
Xiao Li: If you scold me, maybe you can look up to me and praise me? What the hell?
