Chapter 458 Jin She Loves Talent (29)
After experiencing the big data information age of later generations, Xu Wenyang deeply realized that personality, reputation and fame can actually be regarded as important components of "talent and learning".
You know, only a few people were able to see the imperial examination papers with their own eyes, but the poems he "wrote" and the couplets he "wrote" could be spread through word of mouth.
In fact, this is also a misunderstanding caused by Xu Wenyang's lack of understanding of the imperial examination system of that era.
If his goal is just to become a Jinshi and he doesn't care about his ranking, then of course he doesn't need to care about some things.
However, the answer sheets of the top three candidates in the imperial examination are likely to be made public to serve as examples for other students.
Of course! Whether or not he has such knowledge, it does not hinder his active performance in Beijing in the past few months.
In Xu Wenyang's opinion, the profession of "literary thief" was still very popular in ancient times.
And through several "plagiarized" ancient masterpieces, he realized that people of this era did have a strong tendency towards personality cult.
Not to mention other groups, just the young ladies who live in the boudoir and some talented but arrogant students, they are extremely admiring of Xu Wenyang's "display" of personal charm and talent.
There are also people who are not fools.
For example, Xu Wenyang said a few days ago: "I vowed to wipe out the Xiongnu without caring about my own life, and five thousand minks and brocades were lost in the dust of the Huns. It's a pity that his bones by the Wuding River are still the man in my dreams!"
The biggest enemy of this dynasty was a nomadic people called "Northern Barbarians", not called the Huns at all!
And there is no "Wuding River" here!
Therefore, some people questioned at that time: "Who are the Xiongnu and what is the Wuding River?"
At this time, Xu Wenyang used the same rhetoric again, saying that "Xiongnu" was the ancient name of the northern barbarians, and "Wuding River" was the river on the northern barbarians' side, and that he had seen all this information from some casual conversations he had read.
As the number of times increased, although some people had doubts, more people believed that Xu Wenyang was a "learned and talented" person who had read a wide range of books.
As he had gotten used to being flattered during this period of time, Xu Wenyang became somewhat self-righteous and felt that most of the young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital were talented.
For this reason, when Xu Wenyang planned to persuade Zhao Landong, he specially prepared such a "persuasive" poem.
However, what he did not expect was that the other party showed no mercy at all, which made him quite embarrassed and difficult to deal with for a moment.
Although Zhao Landong is not good at writing, her intuition is sometimes very accurate, just like at this moment: "As soon as you open your mouth, you write two poems to persuade others to calm down their anger, and their styles and artistic conception are different.
You're not going to say that these are all your poems, are you? No matter how you listen to them, they don't sound like they were written by the same person!"
Xu Wenyang secretly thought that something was wrong. He didn't expect Zhao Landong to be so perceptive.
He originally thought that people of this era would not delve into the origins of poetry. After all, with his talent, he could recite a few poems easily.
Now that he was exposed on the spot, Xu Wenyang felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down.
"Miss Zhao is indeed very smart. These two poems are indeed not my original works, but I just want to tell you that you should keep a calm mind no matter what happens and never get angry." Xu Wenyang said sincerely.
Now that he had been exposed, he might as well admit it. After all, he had not just said that he had written those two poems. Perhaps this would win Zhao Landong's favor.
Zhao Landong looked at Xu Wenyang, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he asked a question that made the other party even more embarrassed: "So, the poem you used to deceive my cousin before was not written by you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenyang broke out in a cold sweat. There must have been more than a dozen women whose poems were taken from him. How would he know who the other woman's cousin was?
Then he looked at Zhao Landong carefully again and found that the woman was a little young and her appearance had not fully grown, so it seemed not easy to associate her appearance with a woman with a similar face.
However, his action immediately made Yin Anbang unhappy. Without thinking, he stepped forward and stood in front of Zhao Landong and said, "Brother Xu, what are you doing? Although Zhao Landong is young,
But she is a woman after all, it is not good to keep staring at her like this!"
"Sorry!" Xu Wenyang apologized swiftly, "I just don't know who the cousin this little girl is talking about is, so I wanted to see if I know anyone who looks like her."
Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, it is not unacceptable.
After hearing this, Chu Chuan whispered in Chu Yunfan's ear: "Master, the cousin that Miss Zhao is talking about should be..."
"It's the daughter of the Yuan family." Chu Yunfan's face showed a hint of interest. "That girl from the Shen family kept breaking off the engagement with me. I thought her lover was some extraordinary person! But it turns out to be this!"
