Chapter 507 Xie Ying: I'm not as heartless as this guy.
After the emcee made an opening speech, he introduced the judges present, and then the opening performance began.
A group of women in beautiful dance dresses entered the venue and danced to the sound of music.
Xie Ying was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even have time to eat her snacks.
These women and the musicians present were all famous local opera singers from Gusu.
Not only is the dance very pleasing to the eye, the music played is also at the master level.
Xie Ying was very satisfied after hearing this and looked at Jiang Er several times.
This performance wasn't her idea; it was Jiang Er's own creation. He was truly cunning, not only deliberately contacting many local celebrities but also asking them to bid for their performances.
【I am not as heartless as this guy! 】
Situ Yuan couldn't help but glance at Xie Ying: "Are you sure?"
Xie Ying immediately looked at him unhappily: [What do you mean? ]
Is she wrong?
Jiang Er is obviously much more evil-hearted than her!
But these people don't suffer any loss.
There are quite a lot of people here today, including many well-known figures.
Performing here can also enhance the value of these famous actors.
As long as Jiang Er doesn't tell anyone about their bidding for the performance, then they can just say that Jiang Er spent a lot of money to invite them to perform, and then their value will go up, right?
Thinking of this, Xie Ying couldn't help but touch her chin and asked Situ Yuan: "Do you think Jiang Er accepted hush money?"
This seems like a good deal.
When Situ Yuan heard her words, he guessed what she was thinking and couldn't help but be speechless: How dare you say that Jiang Er is more cruel than you?
He even suspected that Jiang Er might not have thought about the hush money!
People have already bid for the performance, but Xie Ying actually wants them to pay hush money.
Could this guy be any more evil-minded?
As each dance ended, the celebrities left the stage one after another and the competition officially began.
The previous auditions lasted for a month. In order to get more rewards, the ten articles selected every day during the auditions were made public until the end of the auditions.
In other words, the rewards will continue until the end of the auditions.
Perhaps due to the influence of the article by "Cao Xuehai", Cao Wanning's poem actually received a lot of rewards.
After the auditions are over, the 300 poems and essays that have been made public will be ranked according to the amount of rewards received.
Cao Wanning not only holds the first place, but is also far ahead.
The article that Xie Xiu deliberately submitted also received a lot of rewards, but most of them were from Jiang Er.
The article was written in a rebellious manner in order to stimulate the local literati in Suzhou and force them to submit works to the competition and receive rewards.
After all, such an article was not only made public, but also received a lot of rewards. Isn't this a slap in the face of these local literati?
How many people can tolerate being slapped in the face in public?
It turns out that many people can't stand it.
So as soon as Xie Xiu's article came out, Jiang Er received a large number of submissions.
Fortunately, Xie Xiu was wearing a pseudonym and the handwriting was not his own. Except for a very few people like Xie Ying, no one knew that the article was written by him.
Otherwise, as the governor of Suzhou, he would have left a deep mark in history books and various biographies because of this incident.
When Xie Ying thought of this, she couldn't help but smile.
After ranking three hundred articles, only the top thirty people can participate in today's finals.
The remaining 270 people will be eliminated.
Of course, although these people were eliminated, they did not gain nothing.
After all, it has been publicized for so many days, so it can be considered famous.
Moreover, the earlier you submit your work, the longer it will be published.
The later you submit your paper, the shorter the publication period will be.
This setting may seem unfair, but who can you blame if you are reluctant to submit your work?
Thirty people is not a large number, so this final will be competed by thirty people. The judges will give questions on the spot, and then they will perform on the spot. The questions are divided into two parts: poetry and prose.
As special judges, Xie Ying and Situ Yuan did not need to set any questions. They only needed to be spectators and raise the signs after these people wrote their poems.
The competition is still very interesting, especially sitting on the judges' panel, watching others rack their brains to write poems and articles, and finally giving them scores, it is even more interesting.
Because Xie Ying and Situ Yuan were young, they even had the privilege of eating snacks.
The other judges didn't dare to eat snacks in public, and they didn't even dare to drink too much tea.
Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be if they suddenly got up and went to the toilet while others were still competing?
There are so many people watching here!
So, the judges could only watch Xie Ying and Situ Yuan eat non-stop.
Even Jiang Er could only watch.
He wanted to eat it, but he held this competition to bring honor to Concubine Jiang.
If he really went to the toilet on the way, wouldn't he be laughed to death?
Unlike Xie Ying and Situ Yuan, two little kids, who could blame them even if they went to the toilet in the middle of the journey?
Jiang Er looked at Xie Ying's little mouth that couldn't stop eating, and he couldn't help but feel depressed: How long will this girl continue to eat? She is just a little kid, how can she eat so much?
How could he know that although Xie Ying was small, she could use her special powers to help digestion, so she was not afraid of eating too much.
Jiang Er looked at Xie Ying eating with her mouth full of oil and couldn't help but regret being a judge.
If he had known earlier, he would not have done it!
With his status, he could just host the competition. Why did he have to be a judge himself and take on this thankless task?
Not only did those old men dislike him, but even many of the audience thought he was a filler.
Now I have to sit here and do nothing, not even daring to drink a sip of tea.
The more Jiang Er thought about it, the more regretful he felt. He couldn't help but secretly make up his mind: I will never be a judge again! Whoever wants to be a judge can be one!
Thinking of the last moment, he glared at Xie Xiu with resentment: She is such a good daughter you raised!
Even though he was still wearing sunglasses, Xie Xiu could still feel his resentment.
Xie Xiu was speechless: "Why are you looking at him? It's not like he asked Jiang Er to be the judge."
Oh, he learned the word judge from Xie Ying.
This girl has so many clever ideas, it's really strange.
Are all the gods in heaven so boring?
The poetry competition is divided into five rounds, which are elimination rounds.
The first round was a poetry writing competition, and ten people were eliminated directly.
Then they will be eliminated one after another.
By the fifth game, there were only three people left on the field, including Cao Wanning.
Xie Ying couldn't help but secretly admire her. This woman was really amazing. She could stand out from a group of men in a poetry competition and persevere to the end.
It can be seen that she is indeed talented and may even be the top scholar in the imperial examination.
Unfortunately, she was a woman. In ancient times, women could not take the imperial examinations, let alone serve as officials in the court.
Otherwise, with her talent, why would she go to so much trouble to find a way out for herself?
Xie Ying looked at Cao Wanning with complicated eyes.
Before we knew it, we had reached the final scoring stage.
Whether Cao Wanning can win the championship depends on this time.
