No one paid attention to Jiang Ziyang's strange behavior because everyone's gaze was on Jia Jun.
This was also the reason why Jiang Ziyang was angry. In his opinion, this glory and attention should belong to him.
But now, it had all been stolen by Jia Jun!
He clenched his fists tightly and roared at Jia Jun in his heart."So what if your poems are good! He had merely obtained the qualifications to enter the pavilion. The path of poetry was just one of the literary gatherings. It was impossible to rely on poetry to win the title of literary champion!”
Yes, poetry was only a part of the literary gathering. If not for that, it would not be called a literary gathering, but a poetry gathering.
After a long time, the shock brought by "Shuidiao Gateou" finally cooled down. After Jia Jun entered the pavilion, everyone's thoughts gradually returned and they began to think about the remaining eight spots.
Of course, no one dared to start with poetry. With the 'Shuidiao Gateou' as a gem, writing poetry was no different from asking for humiliation.
Most of them won their spots through calligraphy or painting. There were even a few who won their spots through playing the zither or chess.
After some noise, the ten people who entered the pavilion finally settled down.
Kong Zhaohua glanced at everyone in the pavilion and nodded in satisfaction."All of you are talents of the moment. In the future, you need to report to the state and the people to live up to what you have learned.”
" I will follow Kong shi's teachings." Everyone bowed in unison.
"The competition of this cultural gathering will begin between you. " The rules are as follows…" Zhang Wei stood up and introduced the rules to everyone.
The cultural competition was divided into five categories: zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry. The participants showed their attainments in this category to the crowd in turn. Each judge had one vote for each project and could vote for the person they approved. In the end, the person with the highest number of votes was Wen Kui.
Wang Anping was in charge of the calligraphy, Wu Han was in charge of the painting, Zhang Wei was in charge of the zither, Yan Guang was in charge of the chess, and Kong Zhaohua was in charge of the poetry.
Jia Jun frowned when he heard this. He was not good at the zither or painting. Calligraphy was an entry-level skill, and he only knew a little about chess. Even if he could get high marks for poetry, the overall evaluation was not good for him.
Was he going to use his Emotional Value to exchange for a skill? Moreover, it had to be a high-level skill, which was expensive.
"Scholars, where do you want to start?”Zhang Wei asked after introducing the rules.
"Let's start with the book," Jiang Ziyang said first.”
Everyone looked at it and did not have any objections. After all, these few items were to be compared. There was no difference between sooner or later.
Seeing this, Jiang Ziyang smiled proudly. Calligraphy was his forte, and he had worked hard before. Therefore, he planned to make a move first and suppress Jia Jun's " arrogance ".
Wang Anping looked at everyone and said to them,""Scholars, please 'write' the Preface to the Lanting Collection.”
The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection was Wang Xizhi's masterpiece. Countless calligraphy lovers had copied it. Therefore, writing the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection could directly show a person's calligraphy level.
Hearing this, everyone also started to splash ink with confidence, displaying their calligraphy attainments.
However, there was one exception. This person was Jia Jun.
When everyone started to write, only Jia Jun was sitting straight. He did not move, and there was a strange expression on his face.
Everyone present looked at each other, completely unable to guess what Jia Jun was doing.
"Brother Sun, what do you think Jia Jun is doing? Why aren't you writing?"
"This…it's hard to say. Maybe it's brewing.”
"Could it be that his calligraphy is so bad that he simply stopped writing?”
"Hiss, in that case, it seems possible.”
……
Jiang Ziyang paused and glanced at Jia Jun. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. No matter what tricks you're playing, it's just a dying struggle!
As he thought of this, he lowered his head to look at the words in front of him and immediately revealed a happy and satisfied expression. His calligraphy skills had already reached a high level, and even the emperor praised him endlessly.
Kong Zhaohua and the others also looked at Jia Jun in confusion. Qingxuan and Lan Xin frowned, their eyes filled with confusion and worry.
Ning Wen was anxious as he watched from the side. He wished he could rush up and shout at Jia Jun," Why are you in a daze! Why don't you write!
Jia Jun didn't care about the thoughts of outsiders. He was flipping through the system information in his mind. Just now, he suddenly received a notification:
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for accumulating 20,000 Emotional Value points and completing the milestone event. You have obtained the achievement 'Getting Rid of Rich'.”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an achievement gift bag.”
Achievement Gift Bag?
He quickly checked the system and found that there was a series of hidden achievements in the system. As long as he could achieve these hidden achievements, he would receive an achievement gift bag.
Jia Jun was overjoyed. All gift bags had good things. For example, his novice gift bag not only gave him two practical skills, but also a set of impressive equipment. This achievement gift bag should not be bad.
" Do you want to open the Achievement Gift Bag?"
"Yes." Jia Jun naturally chose to open it.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining…"
