Everyone was stunned.
What the hell?
Helping your sister-in-law pass on something? And you're not even a student?
What does it mean?
……
Ps: I found that you guys didn’t ask for more updates, and you didn’t care about my missing chapters. Are you used to it? ! Or maybe it seems that I didn’t miss any chapters.
Chapter 232 Who is the mysterious sister-in-law?
After all, the restaurant had just become quiet before Xia Yaomo took his seat, so the students heard everything Xia Yaomo said clearly.
Moreover, because of this, everyone looked surprised.
Because there is something really bizarre and puzzling in those words.
The examiner who had asked the question earlier was also surprised. He looked at Xia Yaomo in front of him with confusion and asked, "You are not a student? If you are not a student, how did you get in? And you said you were helping your sister-in-law pass something on. Who is your sister-in-law? Didn't she know that this is a feast of grace? How did she let you in to pass something on during this banquet today?"
It can be said that this examiner asked the questions that expressed the thoughts of all the students present.
After all, when they heard the person who suddenly walked out just now asked this question, they were also wondering about these two things.
And of course
It was at the table where Xia Yaomo was sitting just now. Although it was far away, after all, he asked the student in front, so he immediately knew what Xia Yaomo said.
Immediately, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Didn't he go up there to revise and present the poem? How did he become someone who was helping his sister-in-law pass on something?"
"If you ask me, I don't know either. And he. He said he is not in the same class. How did he sit at our table?"
"He couldn't have sneaked in, after all, he used our Banquet of Grace as a place for a blind date."
"How dare someone who sneaked in do this?"
"Is he still trying to attract attention? Don't forget that he just said that his poems are as good as the Empress's "Quiet Night Thoughts"."
"Well, it's possible. This boy may seem simple, but he actually has a deep mind."
"Who is his sister-in-law? I don't know who she is. He just said that his sister-in-law supported him to come here to find a girl he likes. I don't think she is a good person."
……
Everyone at the table was talking to each other, looking at Xia Yaomo in surprise. Those who already looked down on Xia Yaomo didn't even think of anything good, and just thought that Xia Yaomo did it on purpose.
Zhu Zhuo couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Yiran.
Zhu Zhuo thought about it carefully and shook his head helplessly. Although these people made malicious speculations, there were indeed many strange things that Xia Yaomo did not explain clearly.
but.
The people at this table were talking one after another, and the people at the neighboring tables could naturally hear it clearly. In particular, they noticed that Xia Yaomo was sitting at this table, and someone came over curiously and asked in a low voice.
But it happened that the people who asked this question were the same people who despised Xia Yaomo.
Immediately
After those people added fuel to the fire, the words like Xia Yaomo just asked himself that he could win the favor of the girls present by presenting poems, suddenly changed its meaning, and it became directly that Xia Yaomo pretended to be a student and deliberately mixed in with them, just to find girls. The girls were naturally the talented women who passed the imperial examination today.
Especially since Xia Yaomo had just boasted that the poems he had written were almost the same as those written by the Queen!
He changed it to say that the poems he wrote were better than those written by the Queen.
Moreover, when this poem is taken out, some talented ladies present will say that they favor him.
The students who didn't know the truth were shocked when they heard these things. Then they looked at Xia Yaomo in amazement, wondering how could such a shameless person exist! !
When the female scholars heard this, they were even more angry, thinking that this man took them for granted! !
Those girls on Flower Street?!
Therefore, many talented women were furious after hearing these people's exaggerated words, and some even thought about going forward to ask Mu Xu and others to make the decision, but they still endured it.
However, most people looked at Xia Yaomo and thought he was as ridiculous as an actor!
What level is this? He actually said that the poems he has can compare with those of the Queen!
Her Majesty the Queen is like the 'Immortal Poet'. How can a mere mortal like you compare to her?
When Zhu Zhuo and Zhang Yiran heard these words, they no longer sat there but immediately stood up to explain and clarify.
Apart from the two of them, the others also felt that although Xia Yaomo was a bit weird and ugly, as a scholar, how could he discredit others like this, so they also explained.
Those who deliberately compiled the story were frightened when they saw that the matter suddenly became a big deal and went to explain.
but now
Who would be willing to listen to what they say?
So for some inexplicable reason, Xia Yaomo became the object of resentment among many students. They were just waiting for Xia Yaomo to explain to the adults in the upper seats. If the explanation was not clear, some of them had already decided to tell them about these things.
but
Xia Yaomo didn't know about these things, but took out the paper for revising Jing Yesi from his arms and said, "Sir, my sister-in-law asked me to pass this thing to Master Su."
hear the words
The examiner glanced at the paper in Xia Yaomo's hand, then turned to look at Su Wenqing.
Mu Xu and the others had been curious since Xia Yaomo stepped out, and especially after Xia Yaomo said those words, they were even more surprised.
And Mu Xu even looked at Xun Kuang, as if asking what was going on.
Xun Kuang looked at Xia Yaomo with an innocent and puzzled look, because if he was not a Jinshi, he would not be able to get in.
On the one hand, Yang Shanchang, Yang Guofu and others were also looking at this student curiously, but at the same time, Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing were thinking that if a non-top scholar really sneaked in, although nothing would happen, it would be a joke for Su Wenqing and Mu Xu.
So Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing remained calm but were waiting for things to develop.
After Su Wenqing saw the examiner nod slightly, he continued to look at Xia Yaomo in confusion.
Because if the person who came in was not a student, it was the prince he had greeted, but Su Wenqing hadn't seen Xia Yaomo for a long time, so he wasn't sure.
After getting permission, the examiner took the paper from Xia Yaomo and respectfully handed it to Su Wenqing.
When Su Wenqing took the paper, Mu Xu had already leaned over to see what was written on it.
Su Wenqing smiled helplessly and didn't try to hide anything. At this point, there was nothing to hide from Mu Xu.
So open the paper.
But when they saw the handwriting on the paper, the two old men were stunned.
Because the handwriting looks familiar.
But regardless of that, the two of them looked at the content first.
'The moonlight shines brightly in front of my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground. I look up at the moon and think of my hometown.'
It is a poem similar to Quiet Night Thoughts.
This made Mu Xu and Su Wenqing stunned for a moment.
But immediately
The two important officials of the dynasty were all stunned.
Because it’s different from the previous one!
"I changed two words," Mu Xu couldn't help but say, and then he carefully looked at the revised "Quiet Night Thoughts" on the current paper. After repeating it, Mu Xu slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! ! It's an impeccable poem. Why change it? How to change it! Just make it catchy!"
Then he repeated with a surprised smile: "The moonlight shines brightly before my bed, I wonder if it is frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon, and I look down and think of my hometown. I changed the "see" in the first sentence to "bright", and no longer looked. Besides, there is already moonlight under the moonlight, so why do we need to look? Also, the "see the mountain moon" was changed to "bright moonlight", which got rid of the vulgarity and became simpler and more straightforward, and the artistic conception was much clearer."
At this point, Mu Xu looked at Su Wenqing with joy like a naughty boy and said, "We are so foolish, Wenqing, we are all so foolish. We only thought about how to replace the poem, but forgot the most basic things."
Although Su Wenqing was not as good as Mu Xu, he also repeated the revised "Quiet Night Thoughts" with a helpless look on his face. Not only was it catchy, but the language was clear and simple, and the charm was implicit and infinite. In particular, the feeling of homesickness as a guest was simple and straightforward.
Su Wenqing shook his head. Just as Mu Xu said, they were only thinking about how to change more things. They really forgot that if they wanted to improve such a simple, straightforward and perfect poem, there was no need to change any suffixes or artistic conception.
The officials on the side naturally heard Mu Xu's words. They looked at the poems in their hands and even picked up their pens. They changed "watching the moonlight" to "bright moonlight" and "looking at the mountain moon" to "looking at the bright moon" as Mu Xu said.
Then they recited it again one by one, and their faces changed immediately. Just as Mu Xu, the great priest, said, the whole poem was instantly elevated to a higher level.
Immediately!
All the officials looked at Xia Yaomo.
Even Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing, who had just been looking forward to seeing Su Wenqing and Mu Xu making a fool of themselves, were slightly startled and looked at Xia Yaomo in surprise.
Yang Shanchang smiled and savored it and said: "Poetry is straightforward, but after the revision, it is easy to recite, and the content is easy to understand, but also full of taste. After this poem, if you talk about homesickness, you must recite this poem!"
The students below also heard what Mu Xu said just now. They all looked at the Quiet Night in their hands and thought it was extraordinary.
Moreover, the news spread quickly and soon reached the table where Xia Yaomo was sitting and the surrounding Jinshi students who were angry with Xia Yaomo.
After hearing this, the students immediately tried to savor it carefully, all of them pursed their lips, feeling it was incredible.
Then he looked at Xia Yaomo with surprise.
Among them, the person who had just sat at the same table was the most incredible. It seemed that I was trying to taste it, but every time I tasted it, I just felt that even though only two words had been changed, it was like the finishing touch!
At this moment, everyone looked at Xia Yaomo again, their expressions changed slightly, and they felt that you really have this ability!
Even those who believed the edited story were surprised.
After all, this was something that everyone thought was impossible, but it was accomplished by such a scoundrel!
After Mu Xu finished speaking, he immediately looked at Xia Yaomo and said, "I don't care whether you are a student or a successful candidate. Tell me first. Did you change this?"
Xia Yaomo shook his head honestly, "No, it was my sister-in-law who changed it. Didn't I just say that? I was helping my sister-in-law pass these on."
When these words came out, Mu Xu was stunned.
The people around, including the students, were all stunned after hearing the message.
Those who looked down on Xia Yaomo were even more surprised.
But at the same time, I was relieved. I thought, how could a scoundrel who only thinks about women have such literary talent? And if you don't have such literary talent, why didn't you say so earlier? Who are you trying to scare with one sentence after another?
