Chapter 161: Literary Hall Evaluation 1
"I thought the evaluation was held outside!" Su Yueyao said in a low voice.
"Ayao, only the painting competition you will be judging tomorrow will be held outside. The others will be held in special judging rooms, and we won't be able to see them. The scholars from the various departments of the Literary Hall will select the top, middle and bottom grades."
"If your wife reaches the top grade and enters the Academy of Literature, she can choose to study one more subject! But it's actually very difficult to get the top grade." Lu Yuanjin continued.
"Okay! I'm afraid I'm not sure either, I'll be fine if I can pass the average level."
"Don't worry, my dear wife. We believe in you." Lu Yuanyi said.
"Yes! Ayao, we are waiting for you here."
A few people entered the yard where the competition was held and found that there were already many people inside.
"The room in front of the lady is where the subjects are evaluated. You can go in if you have no problems. The questions and test papers are different for each person. The evaluation must be completed by the end of the You hour. If you miss it, you can't take the evaluation again. You only have one chance each time, and you can only choose seven subjects. You can't choose more than that." A servant of the Literary Hall spoke and handed seven signs to Su Yueyao.
"Thank you." Su Yueyao took it and immediately thanked.
"You are so polite, my lady. If you get an average or upper grade, someone will beat gongs and drums in front of the door, and your test papers will be posted. Your piano and chess skills will be demonstrated according to the piano and chess scores." The servant looked at Su Yueyao, a lady, being so polite and said a few more words.
"Okay, I understand. Are there many people participating in the competition today?" Su Yueyao asked curiously.
"Hundreds of candidates have been eliminated from the preliminary review this year, and there are about sixty to seventy people participating today."
"Thank you for letting me know. I understand. You go ahead and do your work." Su Yueyao smiled and said as soon as she knew it.
"Okay lady."
"The number of wives this year is much less!"
"Sixty or seventy people are not enough! If we finish the exam today, those teachers will be exhausted to death!" Su Yueyao said with some heartache.
"When Yuanjin and I participated two years ago, I remember there were more than a hundred people, and in the end only about twenty passed."
"..."
"Ayao, Yuanyi is right. When I was evaluated that year, there were also more than a hundred people!"
"Okay! I understand. Let's go for the competition. Success or failure depends on this." Su Yueyao raised her foot and prepared to go to the competition room.
"Ayao can wait for the first few people to come out of the competition and see how difficult this year's competition will be."
"Not every question is different, so there's no point in listening. It's better to finish the evaluation early and go back early." Su Yueyao said.
"Then, my dear wife, which one do you want to be evaluated first?" Lu Yuanyi asked.
"Poetry, I'm sure about that." Su Yueyao said without thinking.
At least she had memorized a lot of poems in her mind, which should be enough for her here. She could probably pass the first level with confidence.
"My wife can do it. We are waiting for you to come out successfully." Lu Yuanjin said with a smile.
"it is good!"
Su Yueyao found the room with the poem hanging on the wall, took a deep breath, walked up and handed a sign to the servant at the door.
"Madam, please."
Su Yueyao came into the room and found several tables and chairs with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on them, and three people were busy writing.
"Lady, please come forward and draw the content to be judged."
Su Yueyao looked up and saw three older men sitting in the seats above. She thought they were the teachers of poetry.
"Okay!" Su Yueyao bowed to them and walked forward, picking up a random paper ball from a wooden basket.
The teacher in the middle took the question and looked at it, then said to Su Yueyao, "Madam, please finish the question and hand it in to us within two sticks of incense."
"Ok."
After that, Su Yueyao walked directly to the seat and sat down, and a servant beside her lit a stick of incense.
Su Yueyao opened the question and took a look at it.
It only said, please write a seven-character poem for spring.
Su Yueyao thought about it, picked up a pen and started writing.
"On a fine day, I went to the Si River to look for flowers. The boundless scenery was new for a moment. I could easily recognize the face of the east wind. The thousands of flowers in bloom always represent spring."
After she finished writing, she looked up at the three people who had been sitting there. They were still writing, and one of them had not finished writing even though the time was up.
Luck played a big part in this question, fortunately the one she drew was not very difficult. If it had been some special requirements, she would have had to think carefully about it. The first poem about spring that came to her mind was Spring Day by Zhu Xi from the Song Dynasty. I think she should be able to pass it!
Su Yueyao didn't want to waste time, so she stood up and handed in the written paper.
The three masters in the upper seats saw the poem written by Su Yueyao. They didn't expect that she had finished writing it before the incense stick was even lit. They thought it was not a good poem, but when they took a look at it, they were delighted. What a good poem! This was the first good poem he had seen today, and he repeated it in his mind several times.
Su Yueyao looked at the three of them without saying a word, and she became a little anxious. Can you please say something? She was very nervous.
If she didn't reach the middle level, she really wanted to die...
One of the teachers saw the handwriting on the paper and asked with a smile, "Miss Su, did you write this?"
Several people were a little surprised when they saw Su Yueyao's name. After all, His Majesty personally ordered her to participate. When they found out about it, they were actually very much looking forward to it. After all, the poems inscribed on several of her paintings were very outstanding.
"Yes, Master."
"You go out and wait for the result first!" said the teacher in the middle.
"Ok."
Su Yueyao walked out of the house.
Yang Qianxun immediately stepped forward and asked quietly, "Ayao's results haven't come out yet?"
Normally, the servants at the door would beat the drum directly after the results were announced. A Yao had already come out, so why didn't the drum sound? A Yao's poetry writing ability was indeed excellent, and it shouldn't be below average.
"I don't know. A teacher asked me to come out and wait for the result." Su Yueyao said.
The three teachers in the room had already walked into the inner room and asked their servants to watch over the people who were being evaluated below.
"I think Miss Su is a top-notch poet."
“But this poem is very good, but it is actually not as outstanding as the plum blossom poem she painted before. It is just average.” One of the masters said when His Majesty saw the inscription on Su Yueyao’s plum blossom viewing painting.
"Master Li, you speak." The two looked at Master Li and said.
"Miss Su is able to write such poems at such a young age. She deserves to be given a high grade. This way, when she enters the Academy of Literature, she can participate in poetry creation at the same time." Master Li said with a smile.
"Master Li is right. Miss Su will probably be able to compose even better poems in the future. Such talents really should not be lost." The master who was about to give the middle grade said immediately.
"Then wait!"
The door drum of the poetry studio suddenly sounded, and the servant said at the door: "Congratulations to Lady Su Yueyao, your poem won the top prize."
Afterwards, the spring poem she wrote was posted on wooden signs at the door and at the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly the scene became lively. No one expected that the first top candidate would appear so soon.
"My dear wife, you are so awesome, top notch!" Lu Yuanjin's first reaction was to hug her.
"It's okay...it's okay..." Su Yueyao smiled awkwardly.
She doesn’t want to be top-notch! A medium-quality one is fine! She doesn’t have much in stock! What should she do if the poetry studio asks her to write poems in the future! It’s a headache...
A lot of people gathered around immediately, all saying congratulations.
"Qianxun, Yueyao is awesome! She's the first one to appear!" a female voice suddenly said.
"elder sister."
"Ms. Yang."
Yang Qianxun saw his sister Yang Jialuo bowing with a smile.
Lu Yuanyi and Lu Yuanjin also followed suit.
The master and the concubine behind Yang Jialuo returned the greeting and bowed to Su Yueyao at the same time.
"Ms. Su."
Su Yueyao nodded to indicate that they didn't need to be so polite.
"Sister, how many levels have you passed?" Su Yueyao looked at Yang Jialuo and asked with a smile.
"I just passed the evaluation and got a medium grade in one subject."
"Sister is so awesome." Su Yueyao said with a smile.
She relied entirely on cheating, unlike Yang Jialuo who had real talent.
"No one is as good as Yueyao! Poetry is very difficult. I plan to judge it later!"
"I think luck plays a big part. I just drew a good question." Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"That's right. I'll also share in Yueyao's joy. I'll go and comment on the poems right now." After saying this, Yang Jialuo went straight to the poetry room.
Everyone looked at Yang Jialuo who had already entered the Poetry House.
"Wife, where are you going next?"
