Chapter 78: The Test of the Top Scholar

Gu Xifeng frowned and fell into deep thought..

"The scholar has the ambition of Lingyun, composing poems and chanting snow.".

This pair is simple, the second couplet is not difficult to come out, the quality of the second couplet is more important.

"The West Wind recalls the contents of the year and Uncle Sun's study..

" Scholars check beautiful women, Ling Yun checks the moon, poetry can check Fu, Yongxue? Duiyaofeng?" His mind quickly searched for his already limited knowledge of couplets..

" It's like a beautiful woman stepping on the moon and shaking the wind!" Gu Xifeng's face lit up with joy. It sounded good..

At this time, many people had already returned the post to Xiaosi, who was serving him beside them. Gu Xifeng did not have time to think too much. He had no choice but to do what he could to save the dead horse. He wrote his second couplet and name on the post and returned it to Xiaosi..

Gu Xifeng returned to his seat and felt relieved. Only then did he have the mood to eavesdrop on the conversation at the next table..

" Why is today's top scholar's question so simple? Has Miss Lu exhausted her talent?" A middle-aged man who looked like a wealthy businessman asked the others..

"You don't understand this, do you? Although this couplet is simple, its artistic conception is very high. It doesn't lose Miss Lu's standard. Although this simple couplet is easy to match, it is also easier to see the literary talent. Those who match it according to books will definitely be eliminated..

"said a middle-aged man who looked somewhat like a Confucian scholar..

"Is that right? According to what you said, it really means that. Brother Wang, what is the right thing for you to do with this wealth of five carts? Tell us so that we can gain some insight.".

'said another, slightly younger man, leaning forward.

" Want to hear it? To be honest, I'm just average. Today, I'm not destined to enter Miss Lu's boudoir. I really hope that one day, I can have a chance to discuss articles with Miss Lu..

Alas, I am right. Scholar Fu..

The middle-aged Confucian scholar mentioned that Lu's eyes were shining, but he had no confidence in his couplet..

"Brother Wang is too modest. I think this second couplet is very good. Maybe I can win this title today and enter Miss Lu's boudoir. I don't believe that Brother Wang still wants to discuss some bullshit articles, haha..

The rich merchant said with a lewd smile, and his voice made the whole table laugh..

Gu Xifeng's expression changed when he heard Scholar Wang's answer. Compared to his answer, which was copied from a book, Scholar Wang's answer sounded much more intelligent. He seemed to have seen the scene of Little Eagle being strangled to death by the mysterious person, and his heart turned dead..

He had to cover up his anxiety by eating the delicious food on the table, but even the most delicious food tasted like wax in his mouth.

After a while, the woman who read the invitation walked up to the platform again, holding a gilded invitation in her hand, which was not the same as the one who had written the question before..

The audience immediately became lively, as if they had seen something precious..

"Heavens, Miss Qianqian is holding the top scorer's paper, isn't it? Someone is lucky enough to enter Miss Lu's boudoir today..

"I don't know who killed him, if only I could replace him. Even if I lost some lives, it would be worth it.".

"Look, it must be me, my second couplet today is wonderful, Lu girl is waiting for me now.".

"You, you, you.

The merchant next to Gu Xifeng patted the scholar surnamed Wang on the shoulder and said proudly,"Brother, what do you think? I guess this top scholar's invitation must be your name. If you are right, you will have to be the host today.".

The king did not answer, but shook his head helplessly..

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we have a talented candidate and the top scholar's invitation is here..

The girl smiled and showed everyone the gold card in her hand..

The discussion died down as everyone waited to see who the lucky winner was..

Qianqian seemed to be satisfied with everyone's reaction, and her smile became even brighter..

" Next, I will announce that the candidate who passed the examination today is…" She opened the post and looked at it, and she lengthened her voice..

" Yuan Pingan!" After Qianqian read out her name, everyone below the stage searched for her, wanting to see what kind of person she was..

Gu Xifeng stood up in disbelief. Yuan Pingan was the pseudonym he had written on the post..

He was a little embarrassed in front of everyone's eyes. Even if he tried to crack his brain, he could not think that his broken pair could get first place. This champion building was called the champion, and his standard was too ordinary..

He walked down the stage, and Miss Qianqian also walked down. Gu Xifeng had no choice but to obediently follow Miss Qianqian upstairs until they reached the door of an independent room on the second floor..

Miss Qianqian gestured for Gu Xifeng to go in alone. Gu Xifeng thought for a moment. In order to get back Little Eagle Night, he had no choice but to charge in if there was danger ahead. Gritting his teeth, he pushed the door open and walked into the room..

The first thing Gu Xifeng felt when he stepped into the room was a refreshing fragrance that he had never smelled before..

The furniture in the room is elegant, and there is no smell of fireworks..

In the room, there was only a very gentle and pleasant woman sitting in front of an ancient zither. Her fingers were nimble and the music was melodious, making people feel comfortable..

Seeing this, Gu Xifeng did not disturb her. Instead, he quietly listened to the music and observed the woman playing the zither..

After the song ended, the woman looked up at the young man in front of her with a beautiful smile. The woman was already very beautiful, and her smile was even more refreshing..

Gu Xifeng, on the other hand, was a little confused, and the confusion on his face became even stronger..

"Miss, I have arrived here as promised. Can I return my spirit pet?.

"Gu Xifeng frowned and cupped his hands, his tone was also very unfriendly..

"I'm Lu Feidie. Please don't be angry, Young Master. Since you're here, I'll do what I promised Young Master. Before that, I hope to play a few games with Young Master..

Lu Feidie bowed slowly and pointed to the chessboard on the table next to her. Her voice was soft and pleasant, making people feel very comfortable..

" Do I have a choice?" Gu Xifeng asked angrily..

:.

The woman did not answer. She just smiled and sat down on the chessboard first. Gu Xifeng also went all out and came to the chessboard..

The question was whether Gu Xifeng knew how to play Go. The answer was yes. He had learned the rules of Go when he and Sun Zheping were studying, but it would be a bit of a dream if he said how well he played. His Go level was limited to understanding the rules..

When the game began, Gu Xifeng could only rely on his own understanding of the rules and feel it, while Lu Feidie seemed to be an expert in this field. She arranged her troops in a well-organized manner..

From the beginning to the end, Gu Xifeng was suppressed by Lu Feidie and could not retaliate. In the end, he was defeated like a mountain..

Even Lu Feidie frowned when Gu Xifeng wasn't paying attention, her face full of disbelief..

"Young Master, how about another plate?.

After the game, Lu Feidie's expression had completely returned to normal, and he said gently..

Gu West Wind's face was solemn as he made an inviting gesture. The two of them began the second game of chess..

Gu Xifeng had learned a lot of skills and strategies from Lu Feidie in the previous game, and he had applied them to his own chess moves this time..

Although the situation in this round was still one-sided, it was still possible to kill some of them. They were not completely suppressed by Lu Feidie. Occasionally, Gu Xifeng could even slightly dampen the woman's spirit..

This change surprised Lu Feidie, and her attitude became serious. As the woman went all out, Gu Xifeng's disadvantage became more and more obvious. It was only a matter of time before he failed..

Sure enough, a moment later, Gu West Wind was defeated again..

" Again?" Lu Feidie said seriously..

Gu Xifeng nodded gently..

The two men once again opened their stance and played the third game..

This time, Gu Xifeng not only learned almost all of Lu Feidie's techniques and arrangements, but also changed them into his own routes, which made it difficult for Lu Feidie to cope with them..

Lu Feidie could only seriously disassemble Gu Xifeng's moves. She also deliberately chose the moves that she had not used before..

The two of them were inextricably linked for a while, and there was no way to determine the winner for a while..

The two of them played for a long time. In the end, Lu Feidie caught Gu Xifeng's big mistake with her rich experience. She chased after Gu Xifeng and fought hard. Gu Xifeng struggled to defend himself..

"No more, no more. Young Master, tell me the truth. Are you hiding your skills? Are you kidding me?.

Lu Feidie leaned back on her chair and panted softly. Her tone was a little depressed. Her angry appearance did not match the temperament she had displayed before..

"Miss, I haven't played chess much before. I have to learn and sell it now when playing chess with you. I'm sorry..

Gu Xifeng scratched his head in embarrassment and said,.

" You said you don't know how to play chess? Oh my god, how can you learn so quickly? The three rounds of chess have already caught up with my years of drilling. Are you a monster?" Lu Feidie rubbed her eyebrows and looked shocked..

"What's the point of lying? The person has already arrived, and the chess has also been played. This time, you can return the spirit pet to me, right?.

Gu Xifeng said politely. Playing chess could indeed calm one's emotions. At this moment, he was no longer impatient..

"Young Master, to be honest, someone else called Young Master here. I'm just doing something for them..

Lu Feidie had already returned to her previous gentle appearance. Her previous performance was really shocked by Gu Xifeng's abnormal chess talent..

" Since you're not a girl, why did you go to all that trouble to play chess with me?" Gu Xifeng frowned and asked with a hint of anger in his tone..

"Young Master, please calm down. The person who wants to see Young Master only wants me to consider Young Master's talent. The couplet from before is the same..

"The Lord has spoken to me," he said..

Before Gu Xifeng could speak, she continued,"Young Master, you'll see your spiritual pet soon. Please follow me.".

She turned around and walked to the bed. This behavior made Gu Xifeng panic. Although he was still very ignorant about the relationship between men and women, walking to the bed alone in a room made him a little imagine..

Gu Xifeng was thinking too much. Lu Feidie only went to the bed and lifted the blanket. Then, she fiddled with the porcelain bottle beside the bed a few times. The bed was separated from each other to reveal a passage..

Just as Lu Feidie was about to enter the passageway, Gu Xifeng stopped her..

"Girl, I have a question for you..

The West Wind said decisively..

"Young Master, please speak..

Lu Feidie wasn't angry either. She smiled and said,.

" This…I want to ask Miss…Is it true that I was chosen because I was right?" Gu West Wind said with some uncertainty when he mentioned the couplet..

Lu Feidie was stunned when she heard this question, and then she covered her small mouth and smiled..

"Young Master, your couplets are at the level of those who have studied for a few years. You grabbed a bunch of them from the answers just now. Isn't this to see your knowledge? No matter what, you will come here..

"And then," he said,"I'm going to go into the tunnel.".

Gu Xifeng blushed when he heard this answer. He followed Lu Feidie into the passageway. After the two of them entered, the passageway automatically closed and even the bedding was put back to its original state by the mechanism. It was very magical..
