Chapter 558: Ancient Words: The Charming Sister 6
There was silence for a while before Jiang Yue slowly expressed his creative mood.
Her tone was a little stiff: "One night, I saw the moon and was inspired."
There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but it is not outstanding either.
The others looked at each other. Some wanted to ask further, but Jiang Yao stopped them.
"Now that we have confirmed the rankings, let's start the next round."
After Jiang Yao spoke, others who wanted to ask questions were unable to continue.
But everyone else could see that Jiang Yao was favoring Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue, on the contrary, felt relieved because Jiang Yao spoke up to save the situation, and she was no longer so resistant to Jiang Yao's feelings.
Soon the second round of competition began, which was poetry competition.
Based on a line of poetry given by the organizer, give the next line.
This question is not difficult for people with a literary foundation, but it is a bit difficult for Jiang Yue who can only recite poems.
She knew the beginning and ending of the poems, but if she connected them randomly, the ending wouldn't match.
So although she got a good ranking in the first round, she got the lowest score in the second round.
Jiang Yao was still firmly in first place. Every time a line of poetry was given, she could answer it in just a few breaths. Her parallelism was neat and the rhymes were regular, which made people admire her.
The second place is still Xiao Che. At the same time, he is only one line of poetry behind Jiang Yao, which shows that he has real talent.
Jiang Yue, who had just appeared and was being watched by everyone, did nothing in this round, causing many people's views of her to return to the original state.
They even suspected that the poems in the first round were written by Jiang Yao for Jiang Yue, otherwise why would Jiang Yao stop others from asking questions to Jiang Yue?
It seems that Jiang Yue is indeed a fool, he can't even compose this couplet of poems.
Jiang Yue also noticed the looks of others. Seeing the subtle sarcasm in their eyes, she felt angry.
If it weren't for this pair of poems being like an idiom chain, this group of people really couldn't beat her!
Aren't they just some literati who can only write poor poems? Why do you look down on her?
The more Jiang Yue was looked down upon by this group of people, the more obvious the modern sense of superiority in his heart became.
The third round of competition is the round that determines the final results.
"In this round, we require everyone to write an essay about fonts. It will take two hours. When the gong sounds, the competition will begin."
After the person in charge of the venue said this, the servant and the maid came forward and separated everyone with a small screen.
A quarter of an hour later, the gong sounded.
Jiang Yao stared and thought for a moment, then raised her hand and began to write quickly.
Jiang Yue pondered for a long time what was an article about memorizing characters. Finally, he vaguely remembered that among the ancient poems he had memorized, there were articles that ended with the word "memorize".
If that was the case, Jiang Yue finally picked up the pen and paper.
Two hours was too long for Jiang Yao, as she had already written an article on the theme of today's poetry reading.
She placed her answer sheet in the upper left corner and sat there drinking tea.
The person in charge of the venue saw that Jiang Yao had finished her essay, so he stepped forward and asked quietly, "Miss Jiang, if you have finished, then we will present your answer sheet. Would you like to go to the side room to rest first?"
Jiang Yao thought for a moment, nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you very much. I'll trouble you then."
When the person in charge of the venue saw that Jiang Yao agreed, he smiled happily, picked up Jiang Yao's answer sheet with both hands and went to the inner room. The maid also led Jiang Yao to the meeting room at the side.
There are two compartments, one for men and the other for women.
Jiang Yao sat on the chair with her eyes closed, Xiaoyu was gently kneading her fingers, and said in a somewhat indignant tone:
"Miss, why do you want to spoil Miss? She has never studied in school since she was a child. Who knows what means she used to get the third place in the first round of the competition?"
"If it were revealed that she was a ghostwriter, it would be embarrassing..."
Xiaoyu's words were interrupted by Jiang Yao raising her hand.
Jiang Yao's hands are slender and white, and due to her poor health, there are clearly visible blue veins on the back of her hands.
"Okay, no need to say more." Jiang Yao did not open her eyes and said calmly, "Even you and I have no evidence for this matter. Don't tarnish my second sister's reputation out of thin air."
Xiaoyu wanted to say something, but when she saw Jiang Yao's expression, she stopped talking.
Gradually, other women from official families also entered the side rooms.
When the second person came in, Jiang Yao had already opened her eyes and acted like a lady from a noble family.
Naturally, other women from official families always wanted to get close to Jiang Yao, but this opportunity was only available to those who were close to her.
So when Jiang Yue came in, she saw another group of women from official families surrounding Jiang Yao, trying to get close to her by asking about her well-being.
When she went in, except for a few servants who watched her bow, no other official women took her seriously.
Jiang Yue felt a little depressed when she thought about it. She snorted coldly and sat on the chair, looking at the group of people, thinking: After the third round of results comes out, this group of people will know that she is no ordinary person.
If Jiang Yao knew what she was thinking, she would laugh at her. It was really funny that she could steal other people's things so confidently.
In the original owner's memory, no one could expose Jiang Yue's lies. Everyone respected her as the most talented woman in the capital. No one thought about where Jiang Yue's poems, whether the emotions or everything described in the poems, came from.
Jiang Yao took a sip of tea. It didn't matter. After the poetry conference was over, she would publish a collection of poems so that Jiang Yue would never be able to use these poems to cheat again.
As she thought about it, a chill appeared in her eyes.
If Jiang Yue stopped cheating, these poems would have no effect on her.
Jiang Yao does not plan to include Jiang Yue's poem today in the poetry collection. This can be regarded as a warning to Jiang Yue, and also to see whether Jiang Yue will really do this to commit suicide.
If Jiang Yue knew that there was another modern person in this time and space, she would naturally be more cautious in doing things. After all, she is no longer the most special one. If there is another person who knows her inside out, everything she does now would be plagiarism.
Soon, two hours passed.
The person in charge of the venue quickly brought out the results of the competition.
He started reading from the last person, and Jiang Yue's name was not on the list at all.
"The third place winner of this competition is Master Xiao Che..."
The name of the third place shocked everyone else. Is there another person on the field who has stronger literary skills than Xiao Che?
They knew that Jiang Yao would definitely be in the top three, but they didn't expect Xiao Che to fall into third place.
Jiang Yue was in the crowd, his eyes full of pride.
This time she chose "Yueyang Tower Inscription". With the thoughts of this group of ancient people, they would definitely not be able to write such a wonderful article!
