"This…this is making things difficult for me.”Lu Gong looked at the Pei County Magistrate and then looked at Yi Xiaochuan. Both sides had done him a favor.
"Duke Lu, there's no need to fret. Since that's the case, why don't you let my son have a competition with this Young Master Yi? This was fair to both parties and also allowed Duke Lu and Zhi 'er to judge who was more compatible with Zhi' er.”
Pei County Magistrate was quite confident in his son's talent, which was why he was so certain about the method of the competition.
"Alright, I agree, but I have one condition!”Yi Xiaochuan said calmly.
"What condition? Could it be that Young Master Yi is afraid of the competition and wants Duke Lu to open some backdoors for you?”The Pei County Magistrate thought that Yi Xiaochuan would agree readily, but he did not expect Yi Xiaochuan to add conditions. He immediately asked in disdain.
"No, that's just a backup plan that you prepared for your son, Magistrate. I, Yi Xiaochuan, don't care about this. I want to win fair and square and marry Zhi 'er fair and square!”
"My condition is very simple. Let all the young talents in Pei County compete and see who is the final winner!”
Yi Xiaochuan looked at the Pei County Magistrate and Duke Lu with a determined gaze as he spoke casually.
"I agree with Xiaochuan's suggestion!"
Lu Zhi, who was standing beside Yi Xiaochuan, looked at Yi Xiaochuan before taking a step forward and saying firmly.
She believed in Yi Xiaochuan. The husband that she, Lu Zhi, had chosen was definitely a dragon among men!
"This is…" Duke Ran, Xiaochuan, look. Forget it, since Zhi 'er agrees, it's settled!”
Duke Lu also wants to see if you, Yi Xiaochuan, are really so talented that you can marry my Zhi 'er.
Very quickly, the news that the Lu family was going to publicly choose a husband for their eldest daughter, Lu Zhi, spread throughout the entire county.
The stars moved, and the day of the official competition arrived.
After a few days of screening by Duke Lu, there were 30 people who met the initial requirements for choosing a son-in-law.
The first round was to examine literature.
Using the image of the Black Tortoise to write a poem.
The son of the county magistrate of Pei County was indeed talented. The poem that he wrote made Lu Gong and the other old masters praise him repeatedly.
Yi Xiaochuan used Cao Cao's " Longevity of the Turtle " to stun everyone and easily crushed all the scholars present.
" An old man in a stable, his ambition is thousands of miles away; a hero in his twilight years, his ambition is endless."
Duke Lu held Yi Xiaochuan's bamboo slip in his hands and read it with trembling hands. He was so excited that tears streamed down his face.
Classic!
This was definitely a classic!
She did not expect Yi Xiaochuan to be so talented. No wonder he would always come up with all kinds of strange words and even fiddle with some novel items.
This was a genius, a peerless genius!
Geniuses should have this kind of personality and be different from others!
Even the Pei County Magistrate, who had tried his best to find fault with him, had to admire and marvel at Yi Xiaochuan's poem, which would definitely be passed down through the ages.
The second round was to examine policy theory.
With rewards and punishments as the central idea, write a policy discussion.
This time, Yi Xiaochuan simply sat there and watched others carve words with their knives. He was too lazy to carve words on the bamboo slips. His efficiency was low and he was exhausted.
The son of the county magistrate of Pei County had followed his father to handle official business, so he had learned a lot of policy analysis.
His analysis was clear and logical, making everyone present click their tongues in admiration.
There was also the eldest son of a large family in Pei County, the Li family. The strategy he wrote was also wonderful, but it was easy to understand. Even the other scholars who participated in the written examination could not help but praise it and sigh that it was inferior.
He pulled out his bronze sword and carved small characters in the courtyard outside the hall. The sky was powerful and full of spirituality.
This time, Yi Xiaochuan chose Su Shi's " On the Loyalty of Punishment and Reward ", which was another masterpiece that would last through the ages!
"When there is a good deed, you can appreciate it and sing and sigh. Therefore, we should be happy at the beginning and encourage the end. "If there is a bad thing, we will punish it accordingly, and then we will punish it sadly. Therefore, we will abandon the old and open up a new one."
This time, the Pei County Magistrate was so shocked that he almost knelt down after reading Yi Xiaochuan's book,'The Most Honest Theory of Punishment and Reward'.
High!
It was really high!
It was simply amazing. The article was well-reasoned, well-structured, and concise.
When he read it again, he felt that it was concise and comprehensive, but it had a profound meaning and was filled with philosophy.
With such a comparison, Pei County's County Magistrate suddenly realized that his son and the Li Family's Eldest Young Master's strategies were completely green leaves. They were still unable to set off the rotten green leaves of Yi Xiaochuan's " The Most Honest Theory of Punishment and Reward ".
"Little Chuan…Little Chuan…How did you write that? What? How did you think of that? It was too incisive, yet it was filled with philosophy. It also had such literary attainments. This was definitely another classic!”
Duke Lu stared at the large characters on the ground of the courtyard with his eyes wide open. He read them over and over again, and was so excited that he could not stand steadily. He even needed Lu Zhi to support him.
As for Lu Zhi, who had disguised herself as a man and witnessed Yi Xiaochuan's shocking performance, she smiled like a flower and felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
She, Lu Zhi, was indeed right. Young Master Yi's talent was so monstrous, and his martial arts were even more unfathomable. He was handsome, had a natural disposition, and was humorous.
Lu Zhi's eyes were fixed on Yi Xiaochuan the entire time, filled with tenderness and happiness.
"Martial arts, the art of war, riding a horse and archery…you can choose!”
" Who else is not convinced?!"
Yi Xiaochuan stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his back. He had a feeling of loneliness as he swept his gaze across everyone who was participating in the son-in-law selection and roared domineeringly.
Today's competition was too shocking. Duke Lu had never experienced such a scene in his entire life. He was fortunate enough to witness the birth of two classics that had been passed down through the ages!
"I hereby announce that the winner of today's son-in-law selection is Yi Xiaochuan!”
Lu Gong announced the result without hesitation. His voice was filled with excitement.
