The official office was brightly lit and full of voices, and compared with the banquet before the exam, the atmosphere was cheerful and relaxed.

The candidates in the hall lined up in order, and under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, they paid homage to the Heaven and Earth Monarch and the Master of the Throne, and presented gifts.

Xue Qing stood at the forefront as the leader of the list and paid homage one by one..... This time, the two adults of Guozijian are about forty years old, born in Hanlin, as the two hundred candidates for the main examination, they will all be regarded as their students in the future, and in the future, regardless of the rank or official position, they must salute the teacher...... This is also the reason why Wang Lieyang wants to control the gentleman's test, and the mentor and apprentice classmates are one of the structures of officialdom.

Although Chen Sheng has a high position, he shirked the main examination and only became an examiner, so he is a room teacher, this time there are a lot of room teachers, fortunately, the gift is just a meaning, otherwise the candidates are afraid that they will have no money to return to their hometown.

The examiner congratulated and admonished the candidates, and the candidates sang deer and sang poems together, and after the Kui Xing dance, the banquet officially began, everyone was at will, Xue Qing was just about to take a seat, but was stopped by the person behind him.

"Xue Jieyuan. Suo Shengxuan's eyes lit up and said.

Xue Qing smiled at him: "Suo is the same year." "The same subject is said to be the same year, and these candidates are not divided into the same room, they are all the same family.

Suo Shengxuan's eyes brightened, and he was very happy with this title, and said, "We will be the same year in the future.... I really can't imagine that a month ago, I could only recite your poems, Young Master Xue, and today I can become a fellow disciple... Just brothers, I'm older than you..."

Xue Qing laughed, forget about this, and thanked him.

Over there, Zhang Shuangtong had already deliberately shouted to him: "Go and toast the master, don't be idle." ”

Xue Qing saluted Suo Shengxuan and wanted to leave, but Suo Shengxuan was still standing in front of her and said, "Young Master Xue, I admire you very much..."

So what? Xue Qing looked at him.

Suo Shengxuan's handsome face showed grievances: "So why don't you compete with me in the bright light?"

Well... The child is very interesting, Xue Qing smiled and said, "Young Master Suo, because I didn't compare with you." ”

Creak... Suo Shengxuan looked at him, his eyes brightened, and he became crooked again, and his smile spread: "Young Master Xue." "This one word is all in plain sight.

He is talking about Qi Niang, he knows Qi Niang, Qi Niang is secretly competing with him, and he is also secretly competing with Qi Niang, secretly competing, naturally there is no need to be bright, this young man, he knows everything, but he doesn't say anything, and he is not in a hurry or annoyed...... Is the most gentleman and the youngest person? Qi Niang said, he felt that the young man was really crystal clear and generous.

"Sure enough, it's worthy of Young Master Qingzi. Suo Sheng Xuan said.

Xue Qing raised his hand again and said, "So, Young Master Suo, don't mind. "Step over.

Suo Shengxuan still didn't move, with a smile on his face, and said, "Then, he's not here now, Young Master Qingzi, let's compare them brightly." ”

Well... Xue Qing looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Liu Chunyang walked over, he had been staring at it before, and he couldn't help but come over at this time.... It's not right, Xue Qing won't tell Xiliang people in public for so long...... If there is any grudge, settle it privately.

"What are you doing, Lu Ming Banquet, and it's not the same sect. Zhang Shuangtong shouted and followed.

The candidates in Chang'an Mansion have also paid attention to this side early, Xiliang people..... At this time, seeing Zhang Shuangtong and Liu Chunyang coming over, he either watched or followed, and the Xiliang teenagers over there naturally also gathered around and stood behind Suo Shengxuan.

Chang'an Mansion and Xiliang were the largest number of state capital candidates, and as soon as they moved, it was as if the entire hall was moving.

What's wrong?

The candidates who laughed and talked with each other and met with the examiners to introduce themselves have all seen it, Xiliang people and Chang'an Mansion.... The hall grew quiet.

Suo Shengxuan said: "It's nothing, I want to play chess with Young Master Xue again." The voice resounded throughout the temple.

Playing chess..... The examiners in the hall suddenly understood, this Prince Xiliang was still not convinced..... Prince Xiliang vomited blood and threw himself into the defeat for fear that it had spread all over the world, which was indeed a little unbearable for the prince of a country.

I want to compete again and save face.

Everyone looked different, some laughing, some disdainful, and some expectant.

The examiner, who was originally going to ask, was silent.

Zhang Shuangtong said: "Prince Suo, you don't pay attention to the rules, it's like a war, you have been killed, how can you die again..."

These words were really disrespectful, and the Xiliang teenagers suddenly looked angry.

"For example. Zhang Shuangtong said, "No, it's so stingy."

Suo Shengxuan stopped the teenagers, his expression was still kind, and he was more sincere, and said: "I sincerely want to learn Young Master Xue's chess skills again, and I hope that Young Master Xue will give this opportunity." ”

Playing chess?

"It's also a beautiful conversation. ”

"Most of us didn't have the opportunity to see Young Master Xue and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that day, but it's really an honor to be fortunate to see you today. ”

Voices of approval rang out among the candidates.

Chen Sheng sat on the stage and watched this scene and smiled silently.

"What is it better than that, do you think that playing chess is to buy vegetables..."Zhang Shuangtong said, "You say that you are comparable." ”

Suo Shengxuan always smiled, not caring about the displeasure of Zhang Shuangtong and the people in Chang'an Mansion, only looked at Xue Qing, and said, "Young Master Xue..."

Well... Xue Qing looked at him and smiled, and Liu Chunyang, who was standing on the side, said in his heart, what does the last sentence of Prince Suo mean? Is it a threat? That's over, it's provoking her.

"Yes. Xue Qing said, "That's right, I once made a vow to sacrifice my ancestor with a full score in music, and if I achieve my wish, I will no longer talk about chess skills within three years." ”

Belch... Suo Shengxuan was stunned.

The atmosphere in the hall was also stagnant.

"Where do you think you've heard that?" muttered one candidate.

There was a laugh, but the next moment Zhang Shuangtong closed his mouth again, his expression became solemn, he stood beside Xue Qing, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I was next to me when I swore an oath." ”

Chen Sheng on the high platform smiled, and the examiner next to him also shook his head.

"Young people nowadays... Do you have to lie at your fingertips?" he said, this Xue Qing shouldn't be this kind of person... Quiet, steady, talented and virtuous... How...

Suo Shengxuan shouted Young Master Xue with a helpless expression: "Don't laugh, I'm serious." ”

Xue Qing nodded and said, "That's the case, Young Master Suo's chess skills are superb, and I have to go all out to play against Young Master Suo, my body... I haven't recovered yet, my father died early, and my widowed mother raised me alone. ”

Ahh The complicated expressions of the surrounding candidates suddenly dissipated, this Xue Qing's net worth has now been spread, he is indeed an orphan and widow, born in poverty and living under the fence of others, first he was beaten by that Miss Guo and almost died, and then he was cut off and almost crippled when he fought with someone.... Playing chess and vomiting blood, this kid is a bit miserable... No wonder such a small body is weak.

Everyone looked at Xue Qing with a little sympathy.

Chen Sheng smiled again, and the examiner next to him nodded and did not speak again.

Suo Shengxuan looked at Xue Qing and said, "Are you telling the truth?"

Xue Qing saluted him and said: "Your Highness, I know you are not convinced, but the world's great chess skills are profound, not you and I can see through it, a certain luck to win the next game of His Highness, it is not worth mentioning, I believe that His Royal Highness's superb chess skills are not below me, winning or losing is just a coincidence." ”

The candidates around nodded one after another, this is a gentleman's demeanor, victory is not arrogant or defeated, how can it be like this Prince Suo, who is so unrelenting after losing a game.... What if he wins? Is he the best in the world?

Suo Shengxuan looked at Xue Qing and said, "I don't understand." But he could understand the eyes around him, how could he become unkind and disdainful? He didn't say anything..."Young Master Qingzi, I just said..."

Xue Qing saluted him again and said, "I know, Your Highness, I promise today that I will play against Your Highness again, please let Your Highness let me for a while, I really can't let my mother worry, presumably the news has been transmitted back at this time." ”

Playing chess and vomiting blood, others are watching the excitement, and the family is heartbroken and worried, the widow doesn't know what the urgency is at home, if there is a fierce battle.... Unfilial, all the candidates nodded, thinking of their families, their expressions were a little stunned... Homesick.

Suo Shengxuan wanted to say something, but there was a voice on the stage.

"Okay, today's Luming feast, don't talk about anything else. The examiner said, "Please take your seats." ”

The master speaks, the disciples obey, and all the beings should disperse in unison.

Suo Shengxuan looked at the eyes around him and whispered and snickered, a little suddenly, looked at Xue Qing and said, "Young Master Qingzi, are you bullying me?"

Xue Qing walked past him, stopped when he heard the words, looked at him and smiled, and said, "Yes." He passed him and followed the candidates of Chang'an Mansion to their seats.

Suo Shengxuan glared, ha.... Turning his head to look at the boy... Is...... It's bad and open.

.....

.....

"This young man is really polite, neither humble nor arrogant, honest and generous. One examiner exclaimed, "It deserves to be the top of this list." ”

After speaking, he looked to the side, but several examiners next to him looked strange.

"What's wrong?" he was puzzled, recognizing these chess examiners, "but what's wrong?"

The examiners glanced at each other, and then shook their heads in unison: "No." ”

Quirky and weird... The previous examiner smiled and stopped paying attention to self-drinking.

The examiners looked at each other again.

"I don't think we made the right decision.," one of the examiners couldn't help but whisper, "this kid... Why didn't he play chess with this prince Suo, didn't he count it in his heart? It's just shameless...."

"Yes, such a leader..."The other examiner also muttered, looking at the candidates in the middle of the field, and his eyes fell on the blue-robed young man, "I always feel a little uneasy in my heart... Let him go to the capital to take the entrance examination, it won't cause any trouble, right?"

....
