Chapter 490 One Wrong Idea After Another
Xie Xiu noticed the thought in Jiang Er's eyes, but he didn't explain. The solution was Xie Ying's idea, and it was Xie Ying's secret, and he would never tell Jiang Er.
Jiang Er didn't ask and quickly discussed the details of the game with him.
This was not a difficult matter, so the two of them quickly agreed on a solution.
Jiang Er is also a man of action. After he came up with a plan, he immediately released the news and started the auditions.
Xie Ying happened to be feeling bored, so as soon as the auditions started, she quietly started to watch the show.
She didn't need to select the submitted articles, and she couldn't understand them, but after the articles were made public, she had a lot of fun.
Perhaps because they had some grudges against Jiang Er, not many people submitted their works at the beginning.
The people are not very enthusiastic about giving rewards.
After all, it’s real money, who would be willing to throw it away casually?
So Xie Ying gave Xie Xiu another idea -
"Dad, why don't you submit your own work? Be a little more arrogant, don't use your own name, wear a pseudonym, and curse out these useless writers in Gusu!"
Xie Xiu: “…”
Who did my daughter take after to be so sinister?
If this really happens, the local literati in Suzhou will probably be furious.
Although he thought so in his heart, Xie Xiu still followed Xie Ying's advice, deliberately wrote an arrogant and unruly article, and submitted it under a pseudonym.
Jiang Er was unaware of his little trick. After seeing the article, he was amazed. Not only did he pick it out, he also brought it to Xie Xiu: "Brother Ke Ji, I saw an article today. This person must be very talented!
I really want to meet him right now. I just don't know what he looks like, but he should be a madman. Brother Keji, take a look at this article, isn't it well written?
Xie Xiu looked at the familiar handwriting and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although he was confident that his article would be selected, he did not expect that Jiang Er would like it so much and would specially bring it to him.
If Jiang Er knew that this article was written by him personally...
Xie Xiu thought about Jiang Er's possible reaction at that time, and immediately made up his mind that he must not let Jiang Er know about this!
Anyway, he was just helping Jiang Er to gain popularity, but he never thought about participating in the next competition or even winning a prize.
He was the prefect of Suzhou, the newly crowned number one scholar chosen by His Majesty, and one of the top three scorers in the imperial examination. If people knew that he participated in such a competition, they would probably think that he was seeking fame and was too arrogant.
So Xie Xiu had already made up his mind to keep his new identity a secret.
He took the article handed to him by Jiang Er without changing his expression. After reading it, he immediately frowned and criticized it unhappily: "Although this article is well written, the language is too arrogant. Once it is posted, I am afraid it will attract a lot of criticism."
Jiang Er immediately defended him: "Although his words are a bit arrogant and unruly, his writing is very good. Those who want to criticize him can do so. If you have the guts, compare it with my writing! If you don't have the guts, just keep it to yourself!"
Xie Xiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're right. Once this article is posted, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people, and they may even rush to submit their own contributions."
After a pause, he gave Jiang Er another idea, "You can also secretly send people to reward this article. If those people are not convinced, they might rush to reward other articles."
Jiang Er's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? We can also secretly tip! After all, I'm the one who organized this competition, and the tips are all collected by my people. Even if the tips are a lot, I won't suffer any loss!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, and he stood up impatiently, "I'll arrange it right away!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xie Xiu looked at his anxious expression and shook his head helplessly: This Jiang Er is really a man of his word.
Then he thought of Xie Ying's tricks again and sighed helplessly again.
His daughter is so sinister at such a young age, he is really under a lot of pressure!
However, on the other side, Xie Ying was also fooling Xie Tang and Luo Junqian at this time.
"Brother, do you want to submit your work for the competition? If you do, I'll give you a reward."
Xie Tang was a little tempted, but also a little hesitant: "This isn't a good idea. After all, I'm still so young, and my father is the governor of Gusu. It wouldn't sound good if the news got out."
Luo Junqian nodded: "It's indeed not good. If I participate in this competition, others will probably think we are bullying others."
"You guys can't write it, so you don't dare to participate?" Xie Ying deliberately provoked her, "Then I'll let my sister go!"
After saying that, he snorted deliberately, then turned around and left to find Xie Rou and Luo Ziling.
Xie Tang and Luo Junqian looked at each other helplessly.
After a strange silence, Xie Tang asked Luo Junqian, "Do you want to participate?"
Luo Junqian sighed helplessly: "Let's just join. If we don't join, Yingying will probably think we are useless."
Xie Tang sighed: "Oh, Yingying, really, she's just a little kid, why do you care about these things every day? She's only a little kid, and she's already provoked."
Luo Junqian glanced at him speechlessly: Are you disgusted or showing off?
But when he thought of Xie Ying, he felt a little overwhelmed.
Ever since his sister spoke to Xie Ying a few times, she has become less and less concerned about him as a brother, and always says that she wants to surpass him.
If he didn't participate in this competition, he would be defeated by his sister once she submitted her work.
He is the older brother after all, how could he be outdone by his younger sister and not even dare to participate in a poetry competition?
Luo Junqian took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone and started drafting.
After all, he was going to participate in a competition, and the article would be published. He had to carefully consider how to write this article.
I must not let my father be embarrassed!
At the same time, Xie Ying was encouraging Xie Rou and Luo Ziling to participate in the competition.
Both were hesitant.
Xie Rou frowned: "We are still young ladies after all. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to participate in such a competition?"
"What's wrong with that? Aren't we going to build a girls' college? If women don't participate in the competition, who knows if they can write good articles and are no worse than men?
It's just an audition anyway, you don't have to show your face in public, and you can use a code name, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Xie Rou thought about it carefully and felt that what she said was actually not wrong.
Since we are going to build a women's academy, we should set an example for women all over the world and let the world know that not only men can write beautiful articles, women can do it too.
However, she and Luo Ziling were still young after all, so the articles they wrote were inevitably immature and raw, and certainly could not compare with those talented men.
However, Miss Cao has been famous for her talent since she was young. If she participates in such a competition, it should be a good opportunity.
Xie Rou admired Cao Wanning very much. Despite such a tragedy, she had not given up. Not only had she survived tenaciously, but she had also defeated her enemy and saved herself and her child.
How can one not admire such a powerful woman?
Xie Rou quickly made a decision.
She smiled and pinched Xie Ying's chubby face: "Okay, I'll join."
After saying that, he looked at Luo Ziling.
Luo Ziling sighed softly: "Since you want to participate, then I will join too."
She is my cousin, how can she be outdone by her niece?
Xie Ying looked at the two of them with a smile and silently gave herself a thumbs-up: Once a woman participates in this poetry competition, she doesn't believe that those men can sit still!
However, even if Xie Rou and Luo Ziling participate, they are just trying to attract attention. The key still depends on Cao Wanning.
If Cao Wanning can make it all the way to the finals and beat all the men to win the first place, there will be a lot of excitement to watch.
