Chapter 40 Moon Spring and Autumn (1)

Early in the morning, Wan Xin got up early, and the days of Jordan in the Spring and Autumn Period finally came.

Today she specially chose a beige skirt with white apricot flowers embroidered on the hem, and tied her slender waist with a white brocade belt. Three thousand silks were tied into a bun, and a golden apricot flowers were inserted on it, which echoed the embroidery flowers on the hem of the skirt. There was no makeup on her face, making her eyes look even more crystal clear.

"Miss, you are so simple and elegant. I'll apply some rouge to you." Mingyue looked at Wan Xin in the mirror. She looked good no matter how her lady looked. Whose girl didn't dress up every day, but only her lady was plain every day.

"No need, I'm going to participate in the Yuedan Spring and Autumn Festival today, not to go for a trip. The time is almost over, let's go to the front hall." Chen Wanxin was very satisfied with herself in the mirror. When she was a wife in Yan's house in her previous life, she tried her best to dress up every day in order to win Yan Jinfei's favor, and she did not tie Yan Jinfei's heart. Once again, she would not do anything she would not want to win anyone's favor.

Chen Wanxin came to the front hall, and as expected, the family had arrived. Today's Yuedan Chunqiu seemed to be dispatched by the whole mansion. Chen Rufei saw that Chen Wanxin was coming and snorted in her nose, "Big sister, the whole family is waiting for you, it doesn't matter if I wait for you. If you let your mother and father wait for you, you are so arrogant."

Liu smiled and joked with a sarcastic smile, "Wanxin is the protagonist today, so what's wrong with waiting for her? But if Yuedan Chunqiu does not get the first place later, I'm sorry for our waiting."

Mr. Shen replied with great help, "Is my Shen family's children inferior? Wanxin, whether the Shen family can earn face among the people of the capital today depends on you."

Mr. Shen took everyone out of the Shen Mansion in a mighty way. This time he traveled to the second and third rooms, which were also very popular. There were more than ten carriages to pick up and drop off them. The people in the capital stopped to watch and talked a lot. People with some culture knew that the Shen family's legitimate daughter would be able to participate in the Yuedan Spring and Autumn Festival in less than a few days after returning to the mansion from the countryside, and also rushed to join in the fun.

The location of the Yuedan Spring and Autumn Competition was chosen in the square of the capital. The square had already set up a platform. The students and teachers from various schools gathered together to encourage the students who participated in the competition. The relatives and friends of the participating students were behind the various schools. Chen Rufei also chose to sit in the relatives and friends position in order to get praise in front of Mr. Shen. The last position was the people in the capital who came to watch the competition. In the past, they were all dissatisfied with the seats. Today, the seats were full, and even occupied seats and grabbed seats.

Today's examiner is the current crown prince's tutor, the crown prince's young master, and the crown prince's secretary. There are already many rumors in the capital, claiming that this competition is the current emperor's selection of staff for the crown prince and the search for the crown prince's concubine.

There were more than 30 contestants, 20 male contestants, and 10 female contestants. The competition was divided into three formal competition levels and one additional competition level. The formal competition was separated by the first place in the men and women in the formal competition. Although the last game was not included in the results, enjoying the collision of literary talent between men and women in the same event was the biggest highlight of this game.

The first two levels of the official competition are poetry creation, including propositional poems and sequels of poetry; the third level is the opinion of the specified paragraphs of poetry and calligraphy etiquette. The additional competition is a free debate in which paragraphs are not specified in poetry and calligraphy etiquette.

Mr. Shen stood majestic in the examination room. Liu and Chen Rufei were gentle with each other. Wu and Jiang, and the children were closely behind. The second and third rooms were also standing among them. There was a bustling family. In addition, the Shen family was a famous figure in the capital. Mr. Shen and his group attracted the attention of everyone in the examination room.
