Xiao Yuan followed King Su's entourage to the front of the Tribute Courtyard.

At this time, the Gongyuan was already closing.

Xiao Yuan stepped forward and wanted to enter, but the official at the door stopped him.

King Su's entourage saw it, and quickly took King Su's post and found the chief examiner this time.

The examiner saw that it was a person sent by King Su, so how could he not let him in.

Anyway, the Gongyuan hasn't closed yet, and letting people in is not a violation of the rules, so it's naturally convenient.

The entourage personally sent Xiao Yuan into the examination room, and asked the examiner again before leaving.

Xiao Yuan was taken to take the exam number when he entered.

He was the last to enter the examination room, and the last to get the test number, but he got a good number room.

The official who took Xiao Yuan to find the number room asked Xiao Yuan in a low voice as he walked: "What does it have to do with you who sent you just now?"

Xiao Yuan said with a big grin: "My friend's entourage, my friend knows that I have talent to learn, and I will definitely be able to win the top prize this time, for fear that I will delay the exam, so he sent someone to send me, and he also said that I will wait for me to get the top prize." ”

The official was shocked when he heard this, and secretly wrote down these words.

After Xiao Yuan settled down and the exam papers were sent, the official found the examiner.

"Your Excellency. ”

The official whispered in the examiner's ear: "The one who came just now has a very close relationship with King Su, and the prince said that he is waiting for him to take the top prize." ”

Just such a sentence made the examiner's heart beat a little drum.

This examiner's surname is Hong Enshou, he is a very sleek person, this time the second prince and the third prince are fighting for the place in the main exam, and in the end they cheapened Hong Enshou, a person who does not rely on either side.

This Hong Enshou doesn't look like a royalist, it seems that he has never been involved in the fight between the princes, but in fact, he has a good relationship with King Su in private.

As soon as Hong Enshou heard that Xiao Yuan had a very good relationship with King Su, and King Su intended to make him the champion, he thought about how to make this champion.

If you get a Huiyuan for Xiao Yuan, Hong Enshou is somewhat sure, as long as the articles written by Xiao Yuan are not bad, and he can learn it, he can follow his own personal interests and give Xiao Yuan the name of Huiyuan, but this champion......

While thinking about it, Hong Enshou asked the official: "What is the origin of that Xiao Yuan, and where is his home?"

The official thought for a while and picked out Xiao Yuan's information: "Xiao Yuan is a Qingyuan person, his family has been in business for generations, and his family is very rich, he also has some talents, and he is very smart. ”

Come on, Hong Enshou had an idea as soon as he clapped his hands.

"Okay, you go down. ”

After the official sent out, Hong Enshou smiled: "No wonder the prince values him so much, so that's the case." ”

Hong Enshou is a person who knows King Su very well, and he also knows that King Su is actually ambitious.

It's just that King Su is smarter than the second prince and the third prince, and now he has done enough of the posture of pure filial piety, first won the favor of today, and made the second prince and the third prince respect him in the name of poor health, and he will not guard against him.

But privately, King Su is also making preparations.

It's just that King Su and the Nine Emperor Sons don't have the help of their mother's family, and they don't have the means to collect money, so they live a little poor, and they want to do many things but don't have money to get them.

And this Qingyuan Xiao family is said to be very capable of doing business, and the heads of the family in previous generations are very good at making money.

Today's head of the Xiao family is even more able to earn money than his ancestors.

It can be said that with the support of the Xiao family, it is equivalent to getting a money bag.

And this Xiao Yuan's ability to learn is also there.

King Su wants to come up with a champion.

Hong Enshou thought that Xiao Yuan had already won the fourth yuan, if he tried to help Xiao Yuan win the middle yuan this time, he couldn't say that he would have to point Xiao Yuan as the champion for the sake of a good name today.

Hong Enshou has been an official for many years, and he also knows the current mind very well, and he feels that there is a chance that Xiao Yuan will be the champion.

Thinking like this, Hong Enshou paid more attention to Xiao Yuan.

In order to let Xiao Yuan take the exam well, he really opened a lot of back doors for Xiao Yuan.

On the same day, Hong Enshou asked an errand officer to quietly send Xiao Yuan a warm quilt, and when he ate, the other people ate hard dry food and drank cold water.

And Xiao Yuan, Hong Enshou here, actually asked someone to bring him hot soup and cakes that had just come out of the pot, plus two side dishes.

Of course, the deputy examiner also watched this.

Those deputy examiners didn't know why Hong Enshou treated Xiao Yuan so favorably.

Hong Enshou typed the name of King Su, and only said that Xiao Yuan was specially given by King Su to take care of him.

He said so, and several deputy examiners naturally had no opinions.

It's not to help Xiao Yuan take the exam, or to leak the questions, it's just a convenience in life, it's not a big deal, so as not to offend King Su for this.

The officials in the capital don't know that King Su is very favored by the saints, although he looks low-key, but he really wants to provoke him, and he can make you miserable and embarrassed if he is ruthless.

These examiners are not inflexible, and they can give convenience to people for small things.

Other people were sin in the room, they couldn't eat or sleep well, and they shivered when they slept at night.

But Xiao Yuan was extremely comfortable.

The mattress and quilts on his side have been changed, and the damp and musty quilts have been removed, and they have been replaced with new quilts that are clean, refreshing and warm.

Eating and drinking naturally don't worry.

He was hot at every meal, a few dishes and a soup without duplicates, that is, he was a little depressed in the room, and he really didn't suffer anything else, at least it was much better than when he took the township test.

After a few days of exams, when the other lifts came out, they were all looking good and walking staggering, but Xiao Yuan was full of red light, and he had strength when he walked and looked at it.

When Master Xiao came to pick up Xiao Yuan, he was frightened when he saw him like this.

"Yuan'er, have you slept in Gongyuan for a few days?"

Xiao Yuan got into the carriage and took a sip of hot tea first: "What, I've been answering questions and writing articles, Dad, I answered very well this time, those questions were done before, and that article Ning Ning also asked me to write, she also wrote that kind of article, anyway, I think I will definitely be able to pass the exam this time." ”

Master Xiao was happy when he heard it: "Really, if you really win, then our ancestral tomb is really smoking, your father, even if you come to the underground to see your ancestors, I also said." ”

When he got home, Xiao Yuan rushed to find An Ning.

"Ning Ning, you're right, the treatment of the test is much better than the township test, I slept well this time, and the test was comfortable. ”

Peacefulness:......

Mrs. Siu: ......

Master Xiao: "What's going on?"

Master Xiao still remembers that on the third day of the exam, someone was carried out of the tribute courtyard, and there was a sudden illness that almost died, how did he get to Xiao Yuan to sleep well and eat well.

"It's just that when I tried it, the food was good, and the meals were not the same every day, there were meatloaf, buns, noodles, and all kinds of dishes, and I didn't eat the dry food you brought me. ”

Xiao Yuan was very happy to show off with Master Xiao: "I have eaten well, my mind is also flexible, anyway, the answer is quite good, Dad, you just wait to be the champion father." ”
