The person Cui Xu sent to compete in archery was a retainer of the Cui family.
In terms of archery, this disciple can be said to be able to pierce the Yangtze with a hundred steps, and his arrows are always missed.
He felt that he could definitely move back to Yicheng this time to save the family's face.
However, Cui Xu had high hopes for the retainer, but eventually lost to Lin Xuan.
Archery among the Six Arts of the Gentleman is actually archery in the form of a performance, but in the end it still depends on the archery skills.
The disciples of the Cui family are indeed very skilled in archery, but they are still not as good as Lin Xuan who is fused with Zhao Yun Zhiyong.
"I announce that Lin Xuan wins this time." Yu Shinan said.
Lin Xuan smiled. He was not too surprised. He didn't think he would lose.
Cui Xu's face looked so gloomy now. They had lost three games in a row.
Not only could they not get the formula for the Immortal Drunk now, what worried him was the remaining three rounds. If they lost one more round, they would lose completely.
He could imagine what would happen if he lost the competition under his leadership and returned to his family.
"In the fourth game, what are you thinking about?" Yu Shinan asked.
"This is a ceremony." Cui Xu said.
Rituals are divided into five rites, namely: "auspicious" rites, used for sacrifices; "unfortunate" rites, used for funerals; "jun" rites, used for hunting and military affairs; and "guest" rites, used for court meetings or between princes.
Contact; "Jia" ceremony, used for banquets and celebrations.
The etiquette here is not the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. The Six Arts began in the Zhou Dynasty, and later dynasties have changed some etiquette.
The rituals in the Six Arts are compared to the Zhou rituals.
Cui Xu did not believe that Lin Xuan, Cheng Chumo and others had done research on Zhou Li.
As for their aristocratic family, they have been learning this since childhood.
So he is sure of winning this game.
This is indeed the case. Although the person competing in this round was sent by Li Shimin, it was difficult for Li Shimin to send some famous people because of his identity.
"Cui Jia wins this game!" Yu Shinan announced.
After winning a round, Cui Xu looked much better.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly, as if he didn't care about winning or losing at all.
He really didn't care. Anyway, he had won three games and lost all the others. It was just normal. He didn't know what Cui Xu was so happy about.
Lin Xuan's expression made Cui Xu very dissatisfied. Before Yu Shinan asked, he said, "This round we will have fun!"
The music is divided into six types of music, namely: "Yunmen", "Daxian", "Dashao", "Daxia", "Dayi", "Dawu", etc.
Although the people sent by Li Shimin were very accomplished in music, they still couldn't defeat the people from the aristocratic family.
"Cui Jiasheng in this game!"
Li Shimin watched the game with a smile on his face, but actually he was already scolding him in his heart.
If the people he sent win a game, he can confidently take the 600,000 yuan. After all, it is the people he sent that determines the victory.
Of course he would not give up the 600,000 yuan, but he would be somewhat embarrassed.
And now it's three to two. If Lin Xuan can't win the last round, the 600,000 yuan will be gone.
Li Shimin felt a little regretful. He was trying not to arouse the family's alertness, but he didn't expect it to end up like this.
"In the last round of competition, please send out candidates from both sides." Yu Shinan said.
The servants of the Cui family brought out two tables and placed them with pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
After the maid stepped forward to grind it and then retreated, Lin Xuan walked directly to one of the tables.
Cui Xu was overjoyed to see that Lin Xuan was playing in the battle. He knew that Lin Xuan was praised for his excellent poetry and calligraphy.
But books not only refer to calligraphy, but also include articles.
He had investigated that Lin Xuan had not written any articles. In his opinion, Lin Xuan must not be able to write.
Lin Xuan's handwriting is good, and he also created a new font, but not everyone recognizes this font.
The characters he sent out were also good, and in the end the article would determine the winner.
Cui Xu said respectfully: "Uncle Lao Clan."
Everyone was shocked, could it be that person?
As soon as Cui Xu finished speaking, an old man of about sixty years old came out of the garden side room.
Many people saw this old man and sighed that it was indeed him.
This old man's name is Cui Yongzhi, and he is Cui Xu's uncle according to his seniority.
Although Cui Yongzhi is not well-known, he has a high prestige among scholars. He can be called a great Confucian.
They didn't expect that the Cui family would send him here for just a competition.
Li Shimin's face was gloomy. Cui Yongzhi must have arrived a long time ago. He didn't go out to greet him when he arrived. He kept hiding inside. It can be said that he didn't pay attention to him at all.
Cui Yongzhi bowed to Li Shimin and walked to another table.
Lin Xuan looked at Cui Yongzhi curiously. Although he didn't know his identity, judging from the expressions of others, he should be a powerful person.
"The personnel of both parties have been decided, and we can start." Yu Shinan said.
Colleagues Lin Xuan and Cui Yongzhi started writing. The article prepared by Lin Xuan was not long and was finished quickly.
"Master Yu, I have written it." Lin Xuan said loudly.
Although he felt that he should not lose this game, but what if?
He deliberately loudly said that he had finished writing, just to let Cui Yongzhi be affected.
However, Cui Yongzhi was not affected at all and continued to write unhurriedly.
What!
Finished it so quickly? What good article can be written so quickly?
Many people think that Lin Xuan knew Cui Yongzhi's identity and thought he could not win, so he gave up on purpose. Anyway, he had already won three games, and even if he lost, it would be a tie.
Li Shimin thought the same way. Thinking that the 600,000 yuan was gone like this, Li Shimin looked very ugly.
He didn't blame Lin Xuan, even he didn't expect that the family would be so shameless and send Cui Yongzhi here.
When Yu Shinan and Chu Sui heard that Lin Xuan had finished writing, they stepped forward.
They didn't think Lin Xuan could write any good articles, but they were both obsessed with calligraphy and appreciated Lin Xuan's handwriting.
"This calligraphy is well-balanced, thin and hard, with decisive momentum. The stipples are crisp and straight, and the bones are strong. Good calligraphy, really good calligraphy!" Yu Shinan picked up the calligraphy written by Lin Xuan, took a look at it and couldn't help but admired it.
Chu Suiliang also praised: "I didn't expect that Earl Jingyang has such a high level of calligraphy at such a young age. I wonder if I can give this calligraphy to me?"
"Shi Shan, I got this calligraphy first."
Before Lin Xuan spoke, Yu Shinan stopped.
Chu Suiliang twirled his beard and said: "This calligraphy belongs to the uncle of Jingyang County. You have no control over who he gives it to."
Yu Shinan stared at Lin Xuan and said, "Uncle Jingyang County, who do you want to give this word to?"
Lin Xuan is a bit big-headed. The two old men are over a hundred years old together. How come they look like children.
"Two adults, I am still competing now. Can we wait until the competition is over?" Lin Xuan said with a bitter smile.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then remembered that they were still competing, and smiled, both feeling a little embarrassed.
They just read the words and didn't pay attention to the article at all.
Now I quickly pretended to read the article to cover up my embarrassment just now.
