The New Year's Eve is getting closer and closer, and there are only the last nine days left.
When Li Changan left the inn, he suddenly realized that thousands of trees and flowers were in full bloom overnight, and lights and colors were being decorated all over the county to welcome the new year.
After arriving at the academy, with the identity jade plaque of Tiandiyuan, I was no longer blocked, and followed yesterday's path to the ninth tower of Zhushan.
Zhushan today is completely different from yesterday.
Yesterday, streams of light fell like meteors, but today, in addition to these falling streams of light, there are also streams of light rising into the sky, flying to no one knows where.
Each stream of light represents an important letter.
Among the four mountains with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, only Zhushan has this scene.
The scholars and scribes coming and going were in a hurry, some faces were full of excitement, while others were full of sorrow.
As soon as Li Changan walked through the door, the atmosphere on the first floor was as oppressive as if there was a mountain suspended above his head.
There were slightly more people in Area A and Area B, with about sixty people in total. No one raised their head, they all had their heads buried in thought, flipping through classics from time to time.
Nervous and serious.
Li Changan even breathed softly and walked quickly to his desk.
Suddenly, I had the illusion that everyone was working hard, but I sneaked out to play games online.
The thirty or so people in Area C were all present, and when they saw Li Changan arriving, they all showed expressions of admiration.
"Okay, Brother Taibai."
Next to her in District C, Annan, who was more beautiful than a woman, came over again, with a charming arc at the corner of her mouth, and chuckled softly.
A burst of fragrance hit him, and Li Changan's back suddenly straightened up, "An... Why did Brother An say this?"
It was really frustrating. Li Changan was so afraid that he would be turned aside.
This kind of charm is simply unisex.
"Last night, eight people from Area A and Area B stayed up all night." Annan tilted his chin up, revealing his perfect jawline.
"Even our District C was forced to stay here for an extra hour."
"You are the only one on the entire ninth floor who has paid out on time."
"Are you awesome or not?"
Li Changan twitched his lips, isn't it wrong to go to get off work on time?
Do you need 996 to be happy?
"What are you doing staying here?"
"Brother Taibai, don't you know? In the Literary Saint List in the first month of the new year, our ninth tower in Zhushan is the main combat force?"
"During this period, the entire Bamboo Mountain's power will be mobilized."
"Which of us apprentices on the first floor doesn't want to compete? With Zhushan's support behind us, we are more likely to hit the Literary Saint List. As long as we are on the list, there are many benefits."
"Brother Taibai, don't you have any ideas?" Annan came closer and asked softly.
Li Changan quickly moved to the side, Brother, are you too close?
"I'm just a newcomer here. What ideas can I have? Can't I just submit a poem when the time comes?"
A hint of teasing flashed through Annan Liuye's eyes, "Brother Taibai does have a personality, why don't I invite Brother Taibai to play in Jiaofangsi tonight?"
"Uh, no... no need. I still need to settle down at home during this period. It's really inconvenient." Li Changan quickly declined, "When I have time, I'll treat Brother An to dinner."
"It's a deal." Before Li Changan finished speaking, Annan immediately suppressed the matter, not giving Li Changan a chance to regret it.
Sweat broke out on Li Changan's forehead.
He wanted to apply for a change of seat, but he couldn't bear to have such a monster sitting next to him.
Not long after, a line of words appeared on the identity jade tag,
"Is that guy Annan harassing you again?——Bingseven"
"Well, Brother An is indeed a bit enthusiastic. - Bing Thirty-Three"
"You're new here. This guy will be curious for a while. Just wait until you get used to it. But you are really good. Yesterday, you were the only one who paid off on time. Everyone was talking about it. - Bingseven."
"What Brother Zhou said puts me to shame. I'm just a newcomer here. How do I know this? I'm just curious. How can I write good poetry just by sitting here? - Bing Thirty-Three"
"Haha, Brother Taibai is really interesting. I appreciate your straightforwardness. We are all apprentices on the first floor, who can be better than who? The more than a hundred guys in Areas A and B stare at people all day long, and they don't care.
You know what arrogance is.——Bingseven"
Li Changan shrugged, Zhou Ziyu seemed to be a temperamental person this time.
"Brother Zhou, I have a question that I would like to ask you. Next month's Literary Saint List, our ninth platform will use the strength of the entire Zhushan to promote it. We will definitely recommend one poem. What should we do if other people also want to compete for the list? -Bing Thirty
three"
"There will definitely be screening before this, but they are all from high-level to low-level. Once you pick the right ones, you will concentrate on revising and improving them. Finally, they will be promoted. The possibility of being selected to the first level is very slim."
"But as long as you add the name of the academy, you will get the most basic help. - Bingseven"
Li Changan nodded. In this case, it would be consistent with what is said in the practice manual.
Adding the name of the academy will not only provide the most basic help, but also when the Literary Saint List is settled on the last day of each month, in addition to the Literary Qi rewards on the Literary Saint List, you will also receive additional rewards from the academy.
This is one of the main reasons why the academy continues to grow.
Non-academic scribes can only get rewards from the Literary Saint List. Every time they compete for the list, they will be one less than those who are academic scribes. Over time, the gap will become wider and wider.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou, for clearing up the confusion. Stay here and settle down. I will treat Brother Zhou to dinner. - Bing Thirty-Three"
"Haha, it's funny, it seems that Brother Taibai is also preparing to enter the Literary Saint List? - Bingseven"
"I have this idea. Let's give it a try. Anyway, you won't lose a piece of meat. - Bing Thirty-Three"
"Okay, then I will first wish Brother Taibai that he will get his wish. When Brother Taibai settles down, you and I will have to drink three big bowls. - Bingseven."
"Definitely. - Bing thirty-three"
"When the time comes, I will call Brother Annan, so you're welcome. - Bing-Seven"
Li Changan almost vomited blood, even if he was just looking at the identity card, he could feel that guy Zhou Ziyu must be smiling meanly.
After chatting for a while longer, Li Changan put down his identity card, picked up "The Analects of Confucius" and read it carefully.
Nowadays, the status of Tianchiyuan is just a transitional one, and it has not yet seen the light of day. If you want to truly become an academy student, you must pass the county examination and be registered in the literature.
This is also the path arranged by Master for him.
The first step is to hide in Tiandiyuan to avoid another blockade and search like Lin County.
The second step is to enter the documents, have a formal academy status, and completely fill in the loopholes.
I already have a poem on the list of literary saints, so I don’t need to think too much about it for the time being. The most important thing now is to pass the county examination on March 15th next year.
Just when Li Changan was immersed in reading, a stream of light suddenly fell into Area A and turned into a piece of paper.
This movement immediately caused everyone on the first floor to look up.
"District A Thirteen, go to Shouxian County and inform the Shouxian County Magistrate to open the Shouxian Wenchang Monument on New Year's Eve."
This was just the first stream of light, followed closely by another stream of light falling into areas A and B.
"District A, thirty-seven, go to Linxian and open the Linxian Wenchang Monument on New Year's Eve."
"District B fifty-two, go to Chang County, open the Chang County Wenchang Monument on New Year's Eve, and hold a New Year's Eve poetry meeting with the Chang County Magistrate."
…
Li Changan even clearly saw light falling into the second floor and even the third floor.
The scribes and students who received the order did not dare to delay, got up one after another, and quickly left the ninth floor with their documents in front of everyone's attention.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if such a good thing happens to them, even if they can't win the literary saint list, they can still take this opportunity to be on the Wenchang Monument of a county and gain a lot of benefits."
"Those who get the documents are all promising talents. Our District C will never get our turn."
There were a few whispers in Area C. The words seemed frivolous, but in fact everyone could hear the envy in the tone.
Li Changan didn't pay attention to these comments. Instead, he was shocked by the streams of light. "You can actually control the Wenchang Monument..."
The soliloquy was overheard by Annan on the side.
The fragrance came, and Annan's voice had a special magnetism, "The attack on the Literary Saint List is a bloodless war..."
"Not only are the Wenchang monuments in dozens of counties in one county under control, but even the officials within the academy faction have to accept orders, not to mention the assistance of other means..."
"It's not that simple to push it with the power of the entire bamboo mountain."
