It was already noon after returning to the Shuzhou Guild Hall, and everyone was covered with helplessness. I thought this time I could meet some descendants of high-ranking officials and find some relationships, and I could also be taken care of in the examination hall. Who would be able to take certain care of me in the exam room?

I knew that not only did not eat well, but the relationship was not good, but it caused a fight and almost died. Now I think I feel even more scared when I look back.

After hearing what Zhengyao said, Zou Cen was shocked by this. Fortunately, it was wise to not go. With his current weak body in the house, he would be seriously injured even if he did not die.

The matter had passed, and I had no intention of thinking too much, so everyone went to the canteen of the guild to open a small stove to fill the stomach that was not full. After a simple meal, everyone came to the hall of the Shuzhou guild hall.

Let’s start discussing the talent competition that is about to begin.

As the name suggests, this talent competition is naturally a competition, and the content is definitely indispensable for both "talent".

At this time, Zou Cen sat in the hall with a heavy face, as if he had no confidence in this talent competition.

"I'll talk about this talent competition now." After pondering for a while, Zou Cen finally spoke, although his tone still seemed a little low.

Yuan Haiyun didn't understand that when talking about this talent competition, except for his own people, the disciples of the Shuzhou Guild Hall lowered their heads, as if they had some resistance to this competition, so he immediately asked: "Uncle Zou, when it comes to this talent."

Why do you look like this in the competition?"

Not only Yuan Haiyun, but also Zhengyao, who had always seemed calm, felt something strange, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I wonder why you are?"

As he said that, Wu Dan, Liu Yan and others on the side also looked at Zou Cen in confusion.

Zou Cen smiled bitterly, twitched his hair between his eyebrows and said softly: "To be honest, there are two large private institutions in this capital, one is Tongxian Academy, the first college in the capital, and the second is our Shu

Although there are many other primary schools, they are hard to compare. Therefore, every three years, this talent competition is actually a duel between Tongxian Academy and our Shuzhou Association. Unfortunately, it has been more than ten years ago.

After a group of Shu Middle School students and I won the first place several times, we never won the first place again. We lost to Tongxian Academy every time."

"Oh? And there's something like this? Then what's the origin of this Tongxian Academy?" Zhengyao began to be curious and immediately asked.

"The Tongxian Academy is naturally of great origin. Now their dean is Yan Shifan. Most of the students in Tongxian Academy are the descendants of the court, led by Yan Hao, who have only entered the relationship with some local officials.

Although these officials like to do something to bully others on weekdays, these people are really talented. They have defeated us for five consecutive years and successfully won the first place in the competition." Zou Cen said helplessly, only to see the side

Those students with more qualifications all looked embarrassed. You should know that they participated in several major competitions here, so they naturally knew how strong the other party was.

Zhengyao finally understood the background of this so-called Tongxian Academy. He did not expect that the second-generation ancestors who seemed to be idle on weekdays could still win the first place for ten consecutive years. It seems that if it weren't for the referee's help, it would be that other opponents would be too

Not good. After all, Zhengyao knew very well that even a person like Yan Hao could win the first place, which was simply unreasonable. Of course, there was another possibility, that is, the competition event had an advantage for them in Tongxian Academy.

.

Thinking of this, Zhengyao couldn't help but ask again: "What are the contents of this talent competition held every three years? If it is just about poetry, songs, I think our Shuzhou Guild Hall should not lose to Tong.

Xian Academy is."

What Zhengyao thought was not without reason. Although he had never studied the literary talent in depth and was not easy to judge, he also heard that his classmates were very free and easy to recite poems and essays. He should be more idle than those who were idle everywhere.

The children of officials who cause trouble and ignore their studies should be stronger.

After hearing Zhengyao's question, Zou Cen nodded and said, "That's right, Zhengyao, what you said is indeed the case. This talent competition is divided into five links, namely Qin, chess, poetry, painting and Cuju.

The competition between art and chess is the first two events in the competition, but every time we reach this stage, we are at a disadvantage, resulting in a little behind in the score. Then the next step of poetry and painting is our advantage, but

The judge often has ambiguity, which eventually leads to similar scores to Tongxian Academy. In this way, when we reach the last item of Cuju, we will suffer a lot. Since we must have the top two to enter the Cuju competition, however, every

The second is basically a showdown between our association and Tongxian Academy, but in the end we were all defeated by our opponents. First, our physical strength was not good enough and our skills were not as good as the opponent; second, the opponent was very barbaric, and it was simply

It’s not playing Cuju, but playing people. So after each competition, some of our disciples have to lie on the bed for a month or two. In serious cases, they may even miss the Golden Autumn Exam!”

"oh."

Zhengyao nodded and sighed softly.

Now I finally understood that it was really a factor for the referee. You should know that the children of officials like to be idle all day long and rarely read and write, but they have a lot of time to linger in the fireworks, listen to the songs, and play Go.

In this way, they are a little better than the "nerd" students who are devoted to reading and writing in the club, and this is a little better than the gap in the instant.

In addition, these weak scholars play Cuju, which is not very good at, and it is basically impossible to win, so the final result is that other opponents are too bad.

"So, our poetry and paintings are better than them every time, but the damn magistrate always thought that the gap was not big, so even if we had a little more score than them, it was still very similar.

In the two aspects of the competition between qin and chess, we have shown a disadvantage, which has also led to the gap between the two sides not widening. In this way, they used brute force to play Cuju again, and it would be absolutely impossible to defeat them!

That’s strange that we can all get the first place!”

One of the talented men named Wei Lun said with some dissatisfaction that he should be the talented man with relatively old qualifications here. From his expression, it can be seen that he has deeply realized the unfairness of this talent competition.

"There is no way to do this. Who made Tongxian Academy the dean of Yan Shifan? And those judges have to give him more or less face. We can't compare to it, which is reasonable."

Although He Renmiao was not very happy, he seemed to see clearly, and slapped the folding fan in his hand and said jokingly.

Hearing the disciples of the Shuzhou Guild Hall, they were like venting their dissatisfaction, Zhengyao was helpless. Who told me that this Shuzhou Guild Hall had nothing to do with it, and there was no one in the court? If the Shuzhou Guild Hall was one day

There is also a big man in it, or a big backer is found, and the treatment may be different.

"It's so outrageous! How can you bear such unfair treatment? If I were to stop participating!" Yuan Haiyun immediately became angry. The game had lost its fairness. Can it still be called a game?

"Haha, Haiyun doesn't have to be like this, it's useless. This talent competition is held every three years by the emperor's name. If you don't participate, it will be an order! What's more, our Shuzhou Guild Hall is more or less the same in the capital.

How can there be a reason for not participating in the university office?" Zou Cen just smiled helplessly. Isn’t the complaints about Yuan Haiyun actually the thoughts of many disciples of Shuzhou Guild Hall?

After hearing so much, Liu Yan felt that he could not be too low and confident, so he immediately said: "Everyone doesn't have to do this. If you haven't won the first place in previous years, it doesn't mean we can't get the first place. As long as I'm united enough

, As long as we play our strengths, we believe we will definitely be able to defeat them in Tongxian Academy!"

"Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Even if we lose, we can still gain from it. You don't have to lose confidence so much. Besides, our current term may not be as good as their Tongxian Academy

, Everyone should cheer up!" Zhang Cheng suddenly stood up and said in an inspiring tone to everyone.

Zhang Cheng's meaning is naturally easy to understand. Zhengyao also felt that this should be the case. He could lose the game, but he absolutely could not lose the momentum. So he also stood up and said, "What the eldest brother and second brother said is good. Let's lose.

People are not losing, and the game has not yet begun, and it is still unknown whether to win or lose. Now we should first think about how to prepare for the next step and face the upcoming game in the best condition. I believe,

All of us here are passionate young people with fighting spirit. There must be a fire burning in our hearts. Just wait for it to be released one day, and then we will be an invincible force!"

Zhengyao said to the students again what he had inspired his brothers in the police force. At this moment, Zhengyao seemed to have forgotten his identity and regarded himself as the captain of the police force.

"Okay! OK! OK!" Zou Cen shouted three times, and at the same time patted his hands hard, and said with a smile: "Yes, the three heroes in Shu not only have high fighting spirit, but also inspired us in Shuzhong.

The confidence of the students, Zou believes that in this talent competition, we will definitely be able to regain our prestige!”

In Zou Cen's opinion, the abilities of Zhengyao, Liu Yan and Zhang Cheng are beyond doubt. What we lack now is a fire burning in the Shuzhou Guild Hall. If the students can be connected together, it will not only be a talent competition.

It will be helpful. Perhaps many students will also make a difference in the near future Beijing Science and Technology Examination!

"well!"

Seeing Zou Cen suddenly shouting excitedly, the other students on the side suddenly became excited. For a moment, the entire hall was filled with lively scenes, and a trace of confidence appeared on everyone's face.

Fist seems to have seen the upcoming talent competition.
Chapter completed!
