"Everyone listen carefully, my second verse is: On the chessboard, the chariot has no wheels and the horse has no reins, shouting "General, be careful!"

"Good words, this guy is quite capable." Someone started talking.

After all, Wang Yueshan had already answered five questions correctly.

"He looks like a scholar. Could he have passed the imperial examination? No wonder he came to the poetry gathering."

"Who doesn't want to come to a poetry reading? I want to go too, but I don't have an invitation and I don't know how to recite poems or guess riddles, so I can't get in even if I want to."

People said all kinds of things, and there were many different opinions.

At this time, a man came out of the crowd, wearing a brocade robe with dark patterns, looking like a gentleman, stroking a small tuft of three-goat beard, standing aside and watching quietly.

"Who is this?"

"I don't know for now. I'll send someone to find out right away." The servant beside him immediately felt ashamed and sent someone to find out right away.

Wang Yueshan looked at the last one: "Eight eyes appreciate it together, appreciate the flowers, the moon and Qiuxiang!"

There were also people around who were whispering this sentence, then lowered their heads in deep thought.

Wang Yueshan finished reading it for a few breaths before he said, "I miss you, my country, and my country!"

"Great! Great for missing the king, the country, and the people." Someone in the crowd shouted.

The talented men and beautiful women around him all had their eyes lit up and looked at Wang Yueshan with some surprise.

I didn’t expect that the second half of the couplet would be so noble, expressing concern for the country and the people, which made everyone think it was right.

"This boy is extraordinary." Someone whispered.

"Excuse me, who are you, brother? You can come up with such a beautiful couplet, we are far inferior to you. We have the good fortune to meet here today, why don't you introduce yourself so that we know who you lost to?" A man wearing a gray robe and a pair of black cloth shoes, who looked like a scholar, stepped forward and said, standing not far from Wang Yueshan.

The others echoed, and everyone wanted to know who this was.

Wang Yueshan was not stage-frightened at this moment, he was just hesitating whether to reveal his identity.

Then he smiled sincerely and said, "I am Wang Yueshan from Wangjia Village. I wanted to try my luck at the poetry gathering today, but I didn't expect there would be an entry threshold. I am sorry for my embarrassment. I hope you will forgive me!"

As Wang Yueshan spoke, he bowed to everyone, looking like a modest gentleman, which made many people feel good about him.

"It's Brother Wang, nice to meet you." The man bowed in return.

"Wang Yueshan from Wangjia Village? Isn't he the champion this year?"

"Yes, this year's champion is from Wangjia Village, and his name seems to be Wang Yueshan. Could it be you?" someone suddenly asked in surprise, and everyone looked at Wang Yueshan at the same time.

Wang Yueshan: “…” Alexander, thought he could conceal the past, but he didn’t expect…

"I am just an humble man." Wang Yueshan looked back at everyone modestly, his eyes were sincere and his words were honest.

At this time, the old man standing at the back smiled and nodded: "This boy is not bad."

Once Wang Yueshan's identity was revealed, it became a big deal. Everyone saw the talent and appearance of this year's top champion, and they were secretly happy. He truly deserved to be the top champion.

"Ah, you are the top scorer. If you had been told earlier, you wouldn't have to guess the riddle and you could go in directly." The servant was sweating profusely.

I’m afraid of offending Wang Yueshan.

"It's okay. Just treat it as a pastime. Can I go in now?" Wang Yueshan smiled.

There are too many people outside and the pressure is too great. It’s better to get in early.

"Of course, please come in, Young Master Wang!" The servant suddenly became much more respectful.

As expected, no matter in ancient or modern times, in China or abroad, people with talent and ability are the most admired.

Wang Yueshan bowed to everyone and then entered the poetry meeting.

Those who had invitations among the group of people gathered there immediately followed in, while those who didn't have invitations were all solving riddles and reciting poems.

Because of the opening remarks of Jie Yuan, many students flocked to the poems and riddles, and all wanted to go in and see for themselves and show off their talents.

Wang Yueshan was treated very well after entering. After all, the title of Jieyuan was not just talk.

Wang Yueshan took the opportunity to inquire about Wang Boan's news.

I was relieved to hear that he hadn't arrived yet.

Little did he know that Wang Boan followed him into the poetry reading not far behind.

And Wang Boan was also paying attention to Wang Yueshan.

When Wang Boan heard Wang Yueshan asking the servant about him, he laughed.

This guy actually came for him?

Interesting, so interesting!

***

Wang Yueshan never expected that Wang Boan had not arrived yet when the poetry reading was almost over.

Just when I was about to leave in disappointment, the servant came.

"Young Master Wang, someone is looking for you on the second floor." The servant made a gesture of invitation.

"Could you tell me who is looking for me?" Wang Yueshan looked up and asked doubtfully. He was feeling lost at the moment. The planned encounter did not happen, so his goal was not achieved, and he was naturally in a bad mood.

"Mr. Wang from Bailu Academy, please come in!" the servant said simply.

Wang Yueshan was even more confused: How many Master Wangs are there in Bailu Academy?

After confirming that this Master Wang was the Master Wang he was looking for, Wang Yueshan was overjoyed.

It's true that you can't find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get it.

Private room on the second floor.

As soon as Wang Yueshan entered, he saw two people sitting there.

The person sitting on the left was wearing a brocade robe with dark patterns. He was obviously a refined scholar, and was currently sipping tea.

The person sitting on the right was wearing a gray and white brocade robe and was a little older. He smiled when he saw Wang Yueshan coming in.

"Please take a seat."

"My name is Wang Yueshan. I wonder what the two elders want to invite me for?" Wang Yueshan was confused. Which one was Wang Boan?

And he even took the initiative to invite him. Why?

Wang Yueshan felt surprised and nervous at the same time. This matter was really a bit exciting.

"Young people are impatient. Sit down and let's talk slowly. You are the champion this year, so you must have heard of Bailu Academy, right?" asked the older man.

"I've heard a little bit about you two. Are you the teachers of Bailu Academy?" Wang Yueshan asked in surprise. He thought only one of them was the teacher, but he didn't expect both of them were.

"I am Lu Heming, the principal of Bailu Academy, and he is Wang Boan, the teaching teacher of Bailu Academy. I called you here this time just to ask about your future plans. Have you ever thought about entering Bailu Academy to continue your studies?" Lu Heming asked with a smile.

Wang Yueshan was very excited inside, but he looked calm on the surface. After a moment's silence, he said truthfully, "I have met with Principal Lu and Master Wang. I naturally want to go to Bailu Academy. To be honest, I came to the poetry gathering this time just to see Master Wang."

Instead of beating around the bush, it is better to state the goal directly. If it can be achieved, then great. If not, then think of other ways.

"Oh? What do you want from me?" Wang Boan looked up at Wang Yueshan in surprise.

Lu Heming was also confused.

Judging from Wang Yueshan’s expression and reaction before, he didn’t recognize them.

"I want to become Master Wang's disciple and learn from him with an open mind." Wang Yueshan stated his purpose directly.

This surprised the two of them.

Wang Boan looked at Lu Heming with a smile.

Lu Heming deliberately raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wang Boan.

He snorted lightly. He was the one who took a fancy to this man first. Why should he let Wang Xiaozi take advantage of him?
