Chapter 176

More than half an hour has passed since the imperial examination.

In the Jinyu building, guests are drinking and chatting, mostly about the palace examination.

At this time, a law purple round flower cocoon silk robe, up and down at the age of 40, a big bellied middle-aged man walked from the entrance of the stairs into the lobby on the second floor.

Seeing this, the waiter quickly and respectfully greeted him and led him inside.

Another waiter was carrying a tray, but he went to ye Tangcai's table and put down a plate of snacks.

There are sugar steamed crisp cheese, sweet scented osmanthus sugar chestnut powder cake, Ruyi cake and lucky fruit.

Ye Tangcai looked back from the window and said with a smile, "thank you, shopkeeper. We can't finish it. We don't have to send so much. "

The waiter smiled and said, "the shopkeeper said that his son will come to an end in three years. It's his blessing to entertain you and get a good touch of your light. Three years later, the master of the shopkeeper's family will have a good result. "

Uncle Chu listened and smiled happily.

Wen's eyebrows and eyes smiled with joy.

Ye Chengde's table should be uncomfortable after hearing bursts of noise, and Zhang Boyuan's face turned white.

He shouldn't have come! Why did he come here looking for trouble? But if he leaves now, he will be ridiculed by Ye Tangcai and they.

At this time, there was a laughter nearby: "let your shopkeeper save it. Don't touch this bad luck. If you don't get it, you'll end up with a tiger head and a snake tail."

His voice was loud and his laughter was loud. He calmed the lobby on the second floor and looked back at him.

Ye Tangcai, Wen and uncle Chu also looked back at him. It was the man who had just come in, dressed in expensive clothes and had a big belly.

"Yo, isn't this Lord Wu?" Several of the guests in the lobby recognized him.

"Yes, Lord Wu, did you just come out of the palace? Is there any gossip? "

Ye Chengde, Zhang Boyuan and Xu Rui's mother and son were shocked by the derogatory meaning of Chu yunpan.

Ye Tangcai squinted. Uncle Chu and Wen frowned when they heard this.

"Who is this Lord Wu?" Ye Wei pulls ye Tangcai's sleeve and whispers.

"I don't know." Ye Tangcai picked his eyebrows.

Miao said in a low voice, "this is the direct brother of concubine Wu. Your grandfather gave gifts to the Wu family several times before. I also went to the small birthday banquet of the Wu family's mistress, but they didn't contact us any more. "

The guests in the lobby came here to see the first-class Jinshi parade. Naturally, they were concerned about the situation of the palace examination inside. Hearing what Lord Wu said, they cheered one after another.

Seeing that everyone was making fun of him, Lord Wu was very proud and said with a smile: "today is a palace test. This is a grand event for us. Not only did the emperor personally supervise the examination, but all officials accompanied him. Even the harem also participated in such a grand event. "

The harem naturally participates, but it is separated by a screen. The position is also very clever. People in the hall can't see behind the screen, but those behind the screen can see the situation in the hall.

"The palace exam or something, but I can't see the interest. But my sister said, my little girl is about to reach her hairpin, so we should choose a good husband. It happened that there were many young talents in the palace examination this spring. She asked me to see if there was a suitable one. If so, they will be artful and learn to catch their son-in-law under the list. "

Mr. Wu said, laughing in the lobby and joking about which one he liked?

"I was dazzled when I saw half of it. Shouldn't it be a woman's business to find a son-in-law? It was so stuffy that he came out! " Lord Wu said.

Zhang Boyuan saw that everyone paid attention to the funny thing that Lord Wu was looking for his son-in-law. He hurriedly said, "Lord Wu, you just said that in the palace exam... Some people have a head and a tail. What's the matter?"

Lord Wu said, "is that the best-looking young man a member? I saw that the palace mother who reported to my sister said that her surname was Chu. My sister sat behind the screen and looked at him at a glance. If she grew up like this, it would be good to be my son-in-law. "

Ye Tangcai choked.

Wen's face was even more livid. He was so angry that he bah and whispered, "who will be his son-in-law! That's my son-in-law! "

Lord Wu continued: "later, after listening to the report from mother Gong, I learned that it was a young Huiyuan, but he became a pro." He shook his head and said, "since he opened his head, we also pay attention to him. After the beginning of the palace examination, all Gongsheng were talented and wrote quickly, but the young Huiyuan was grinding ink. After half an hour, he was still grinding ink! Is our imperial examination for Mo Mo? "

The words burst into laughter.

"Nonsense, my Saburo won't be like this." Uncle Chu was so angry that he wanted to stand up, but he didn't dare to sit there when he saw that Lord Wu had a bloody face and that he was also the brother of concubine Wu.

"Why do I pinch?" Lord Wu snorted coldly“ This year's topic is still a long one. It is not enough to think about it and write in an hour. "

He thinks he is a rough man, but he has some knowledge.

"What happened then?" Zhang Boyuan asked urgently.

"What? Anyway, I saw it was really boring, so I came out! Otherwise, I can't come here to gossip with you. " As he spoke, Lord Wu poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in high spirits.

The people in the lobby were provoked by him and talked about what he said in a low voice.

Zhang Boyuan sneered: "I really don't know what to say. If you really answered the words of Lord Wu, you don't know how to win the Huiyuan. Nine days and seven nights, I can get a good place when there is no one. Now I can't answer a word in front of the emperor and his ministers. "

He accused Chu yunpan of cheating.

Uncle Chu was so angry that he trembled all over. Wen's airway said, "what do you mean? If you don't pass the exam yourself, you'll destroy people? If you don't agree, if you think there is something fishy and evidence, you can report it! Why did you go? Now after a month, I fell off the list and said this or that. Not even that grace. "

Zhang Boyuan lost the list when he saw her open and shut up. He also said that he had no tolerance. He was so angry that his face turned blue and white.

"Anyway, Lord Huiyuan can't answer the question now!" Xu Rui chuckled, holding a white porcelain cup in his hand“ Tut Tut, can I get into the second class? "

The people in the lobby also talked about it.

One said, "how can I get into the second class after handing in the white paper? Giving a top three fellow scholar has already given face. "

"This is Huiyuan. How can it be the same Jinshi?"

A well-dressed old man said, "it's not without it. More than ten years ago, it seemed that the surname of Huiyuan was Liu or Liu. As a result, one of the same scholars in the palace examination was mixed into the last one. He was sent to a place to be a nine grade official. "

"Hey, I remember. There's really such a thing." Another old man at his table said and shook his head. He was wearing a master's uniform and holding a feather fan in his hand. At a glance, he knew that he was a master of a school“ That year, such a result came out. The examiners who would test the papers at that time were also criticized today, saying how they rated the Huiyuan. "

The crowd listened and asked about the situation of the two elders in those years, and then talked about the palace test in front of them: "won't this session be so unlucky?"

Then he laughed loudly, as if it had really become such a thing.

Zhang Boyuan's eyebrows danced and his heart pounded. He was really happy: "it's a once-in-a-decade chance for us to see the last member of this session!"

Xu Rui almost laughed and drank the wine in his hand.

He had forced himself to accept the fact of Chu yunpan high school. Now after a series of things, his heart became active again and excited!

"The original scenery has become a joke. If so, it's better not to win!" Zhang Boyuan laughed and cried.

How angry he was, how happy he is now. No! No! Really not! Hehe, shameless scum, deserve it! Call you crazy! Now lose face and hair!

Ye Chengde and Yin tingniang also flashed ridicule in their eyes.

Uncle Chu listened to these words, his face turned white, and he sat there, his whole body wilting. Saburo, you have to hand in a blank paper? Oh, my God! Why is that?

Wen and Miao were so angry that they trembled all over.

"Those bastards..." Wen's airway, but he couldn't scold. His face was full of worry.

"Mother, don't worry." Ye Tangcai said with a smile, "this is one of the strange problems of my third master."

When Wen heard this, he choked and twitched at the corners of his mouth: "one of the strange problems? What's the other problem? Oh, I see. I can't sleep in the same bed. "

Ye Tangcai poked his fingers and smiled awkwardly.

"Anyway, it's useless to rush now." Miao sighed slightly.

Wen clenched his teeth and nodded. My daughter finally got out of it, but now... My son-in-law is too nervous! After all, I'm only 18 years old!

If you had known this, you might as well take the exam a few more years. Even if you miss the opportunity and can't get Huiyuan, just be calm and play well in the palace test. It's also good to get the top two or the top three at that time.

Now, Huiyuan won too high, but he couldn't answer the question in the palace exam. He handed in a blank paper... It's the so-called that the higher he won, the more painful he fell! The worse you fall!

The more you think about it, the more gray Wen's heart becomes. She didn't want to believe Zhang Boyuan's words, but Chu yunpan couldn't answer the question. Lord Wu saw it with his own eyes. We really can't deceive ourselves and others.

"It seems that it's past the last hour!" Ye Weicai whispered.

Wen and uncle Chu were stunned. Wen looked bad: "it's just... After such a while, it's already over?"

Time flies when you focus on chatting. Wen felt that the time was too fast. He just heard that his son-in-law didn't have a word. At this time, he really had to hand in a blank paper!

Wen and others became more and more uneasy. After more than half an hour, the people below suddenly burst into commotion and coax: "the champion is coming out!"

Ye Tang picks a joy and quickly lies down by the window.

Zhang Boyuan, Xu Rui, ye Chengde and Yin tingniang have so many viewpoints and arguments. If they are not written, they will not be able to straighten out their thinking. After all, what they think is the same thing. When they are written, they sometimes fail to express their meaning and can't write what they think.

But the young man in front of him wrote down two pages in one breath.

Write fast.

This is the examination paper. There are only two pieces of paper. If you are not careful, you may get stained with ink and dirty.

But he didn't. his movements were as smooth as clouds and flowing water.

He was handsome, clear and gorgeous. When he sat there, he was as solemn as a pine, as bright as a bright moon, with unique demeanor, as if everyone present had become his background.

Just watching him write with his pen makes people feel that it is a kind of visual enjoyment and makes people look sideways.

When he finished writing, he sighed softly. As soon as he put down his pen, a drum sounded outside.

Standing next to the step dragon chair, CAI Jie stepped forward and shouted, "the palace test is over!"

The little eunuch went down, collected the examination papers of all the candidates one by one, and then presented them to the Dragon case.

Emperor Zhengxuan picked up the examination papers and read them one by one. For a moment, he nodded and his eyes lit up. Chu yunpan's eyes brightened when he saw him in the middle. He only felt that he was criticizing the shortcomings of the times from solving problems to countermeasures.

The most surprising thing is that his paper, which was completed at one go, has no astringent block between his words, just like flowing clouds and flowing water. We can't say how gorgeous his sentences or rhetoric are. On the contrary, his writing is concise, but it gives people a sense of fluency and four principles. It looks like a kind of enjoyment.

This fluency and succession, let alone writing two pages without stopping, is difficult to do, even serious thinking and careful consideration.

Emperor Zhengxuan was surprised at his talent for governing the world, but also at his extraordinary talent.

Immediately surrounded him.

Finally, the top three were listed. Chu yunpan, Chen Zhiheng and Zhao Fanxu.

Emperor Zhengxuan looked at the people below and said with a smile, "this year's first class is really young!"

In the past, it was difficult for a young armour to appear. This time, it was two! Chu yunpan 18, Chen Zhiheng 23, Zhao Fanxu 46. They are so talented!

Then emperor Zhengxuan hesitated between the No. 1 scholar, No. 2 ranking and Tanhua. In general, the top three in the palace examination are all outstanding talents, and it is difficult to distinguish each other. The emperor will choose the youngest and most beautiful one as the tanhualang.

However, Chu Yun's talent is too obvious. Chen Zhiheng is also a handsome boy in his twenties. It would be a great injustice to Chu yunpan if he looked and age like this.

So according to his strength, he chose Chu yunpan as the number one, Zhao Fanxu as the second in the list, and Chen Zhiheng as tanhualang.

Then he ordered the top two and the top three, decided the ranking, and let the top one go to change clothes and walk the street.

In the Golden Jade building, the young servant of Lord Wu said the process of the temple, which surprised everyone.

Lord Wu was stunned. Then he laughed, touched his beard and said, "I thought it was a white paper. I didn't want to, but I was a talented and amazing person. I was short-sighted and nonsense."

"Master, you should change your acuteness." The boy smiled.

"Yes, yes!" Lord Wu smiled. He was broad-minded, and then he bowed to ye Tangcai, which was an apology.

But ye Tangcai and others had no time to meet him at this time, just waving to Chu yunpan below.

A digression

Zhang Boyuan: we agreed to attack a dog together!

Xu Rui: but you secretly make it out!

Chu San: get out!
