"Okay, let's continue the game." Zhuge Ceyuan made the final decision.

"Since we are holding a poetry gathering in a teahouse, let's write poems on the theme of tea. Now let's move on to the quick-answer session."

Lin Yiran was speechless. This old Mr. Zhuge must have been making up questions on the spot.

"Under the bamboo, forget about words and drink purple tea,

The victorious feathered guest is drunk with flowing clouds.

The dust in my heart has been washed away and the excitement is endless.

A cicada's sound and a slanting shadow on a tree. "

"Pass"

"Who cares about the cool west wind?

Xiao Xiao Huang Ye closes the window.

Reflect on the past and set up a residual sun.

I was shocked by Jiu Mo's sleep,

The book of gambling dispels the fragrance of tea.

At the time, I thought it was normal.”

"Pass"

"Pass"

……

"Pass"

Lin Yiran pondered for a moment and recited Lu You's poem "Spring Rain in Lin'an".

The world has become as thin as gauze over the years.

Who ordered the horse rider to come to Beijing?

The small building listened to the spring rain all night,

Apricot blossoms will be sold in the deep alleys tomorrow morning.

I write casually on a short piece of paper.

The clear window is full of fine milk and tea is shared.

Don't sigh when you wear plain clothes.

You can still get home before Qingming Festival.

"Pass." Zhuge Ceyuan looked at Lin Yiran with admiration. This little girl is pretty good and has some skills.

Her poems reveal a profound literary background between the lines, with beautiful language, profound artistic conception, and are extremely philosophical.

After two rounds of fierce competition, half of the contestants present have been eliminated.

"Now I'll give you a few couplets. If you can come up with a couplet, you'll pass." Zhang Yuan said with a clear cough.

Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly at his friend's worthless look. His eyes were almost glued to the girl. He was not afraid of scaring the child by staring at her without restraint.

It seems that this old guy is thinking about accepting a disciple.

This girl is really good, I like her very much. How about competing with that old guy?

Lin Yiran suddenly felt a chill on her back and shivered violently. She didn't know that her pretense had caused several more bigwigs to be concerned about her.

Zhang Yuan chanted in a low, magnetic voice, "The first couplet is: Wangjiang Tower, looking at the river flow, Wangjiang Tower looks at the river flow, the river tower is eternal, the river flow is eternal."

Lin Yiran's eyes lit up. Wow, it turned out to be one of the couplets in the Eternal Love of the Past in later generations.

If it were any other answer, I might not be able to get it right. It seems even God is helping me!

The villain deep in Lin Yiran's heart was jumping around like crazy, but her face showed a look of deep thought.

Time passed by minute by minute, and about two incense sticks of time had passed.

The great scholars on the judges' bench were getting restless. A middle-aged man in a crescent-shaped white gown with an elegant temperament asked anxiously, "Have you come up with anything?"

Everyone shook their heads. One of the handsome young men in his early twenties whispered, "I have a couplet here, but I just feel that the artistic conception doesn't quite fit."

The middle-aged man said eagerly: "It doesn't matter. Time is short. It's a blessing that you can think of it. Tell me about it."

The young man clenched his fists hard, as if to cheer himself up, "Poetry competition, poetry talent competition, poetry talent competition, poetry competition, poetry competition, poetry talent competition, poetry competition, poetry talent competition, poetry talent competition."

"Okay, not bad."

Lin Yiran didn't expect that someone could come up with the second couplet in such a short time. This was a little beyond her expectations.

A couplet that can be called the best of all time is extremely difficult to write, and this young man is probably no ordinary person.

Sure enough, someone answered her question the next moment.

"Brother Qi is really talented!"

"As expected of the new champion, you are extremely talented and intelligent. How can ordinary people like us compare to you?"

Lin Yiran's pupils shrank. Her guess was correct. This person was actually the top scholar of this year. However, no matter how top scholar he was, he could not compare to a time traveler like herself who was influenced by the 5,000-year history and culture of China.

It was her turn to shine. "I also have a couplet." Lin Yiran walked out of the crowd and stood under the judges' seat with confidence and composure.

"In the moon well, in the shadow of the moon, in the shadow of the moon in the well, the well of the moon for ten thousand years, the shadow of the moon for ten thousand years."

"Good, great, this couplet is great!" The middle-aged man said with joy, touching his chin.

"I didn't expect that a woman could have such amazing talent." The speaker was an old man with a sage-like appearance.

"This girl has received such high praise from the Emperor's mentor, Mr. Ouyang. Her future is limitless!"

Zhuge Ceyuan and Zhang Yuan looked at Lin Yiran with a determined look, and Lin Yiran felt uncomfortable under their burning gazes. The way they looked at her was just like a starving wolf seeing a delicious prey.

Was she being too pretentious? She just wanted to get the 100 taels of gold and didn't want to attract their attention!

The middle-aged man saw that everyone's eyes were on the little girl. Didn't he see that the little girl lowered her head because of their gazes? He tried not to scare her and affect her performance.

Hey, this job is not easy! "Ahem... let's continue with the couplets."

"First line: The sound of wind, rain and reading, each sound is pleasant to the ear. Please give the second line."

Lin Yiran was so excited that she almost screamed like a groundhog. It seemed that the 100 taels of gold were destined to be hers.

She just hesitated for a moment and said, "I have thought of the second line. I care about everything, family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs."

"You care about everything, family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs. I didn't expect that the girl has such a strong sense of family and country at such a young age. What a pity, why were you born a girl? If you were a boy, you would definitely be a pillar of the country." Zhuge Ceyuan sighed with regret.

At the same time, another clear and graceful voice sounded, "Private matters, official matters, trivial matters, everything is worrying."

Lin Yiran glanced at the other person. She was the only girl in the field.

With such a wonderful example, the second couplet seems a bit petty, but it still makes sense.

Zhuge Ceyuan just hummed as a reply.

The final result was naturally that Lin Yiran left Mingxiang Teahouse in a leisurely manner, holding the 100 taels of gold, under the envious and jealous gazes of a group of bigwigs and contestants.

Lin Yiran couldn't wait to pull his third brother Lin and his father who were waiting outside the door back to the inn where they were staying.

What the three didn't know was that they were being followed as soon as they left.

As soon as he returned to the room, Lin Yiran put the 100 taels of gold on the table and said, "Dad, I'm so awesome, right?" His expression of seeking praise made Lin's father and third brother laugh.

The two of them responded lovingly: "Yes, you are the best. Third brother and father are proud of you. We will rely on you to support us from now on."

"No problem, leave it to me." Lin Yiran patted his chest.

There was a knock on the door. Lin Yiran and his third brother's father looked at each other and quickly put the gold on the table into the space.
