After all the Jinshi exams, they will exit the Jinluan Hall together. The examiners immediately read the papers, and the ten most outstanding papers were selected from the hundred papers and presented to the Son of Heaven.

Zhou Liang's exam paper was impressively placed in the first one.

The neat and beautiful pavilion body comes into view.

Only this beautiful handwriting that has been practiced for many years is already pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Xu quietly picked up the exam paper and looked at it.

The palace examination only came up with a policy theory, with the topic of "how to govern the land of a government". It is intended to consider the political literacy of a group of new science and technology scholars.

People who only blindly bury their heads in reading will have a headache when they encounter such exam questions. Most of the words are vague and insightful.

This question was personally written by Xiao Xu, with a little selfishness, to see if Zhou Liang was a person who would only die reading.

Under this look, Xiao Xu had to nod secretly.

Zhou Liang's answer to this exam paper is quite wonderful, with clear views, clear arguments, and direct expression. not only expressed his ambition, but also carefully avoided any words that would be committed.

Sure enough, a smart man!

Still an ambitious and ambitious smart young man!

Xiao Xu nodded secretly in his heart, and his rejection of Zhou Liang faded slightly.

After reading the ten exam papers, Xiao Xu used the royal pen to point Zhou Liang as the champion!

The rest of the Jinshi rankings do not need to be repeated one by one.

After that, the new scholars were re-summoned to the Jinluan Palace. The top three of the first class were read out by Fu Zhongshu. Zhou Liang, the top champion, is also officially released!

In the envious gaze of all the Jinshi, the young and handsome Xinke Zhuanglang stepped forward and knelt down to thank the emperor.

The Son of Heaven, who was sitting on the dragon chair, did not speak for a long time, and his unfathomable gaze fell firmly on Zhuang Yuanlang's face.

Zhou Liang had to kneel all the time.

The ministers were surprised in their hearts, but no one spoke.

After a long time, the Son of Heaven opened his mouth and said, "Flat!"

Zhou Liang's tense heartstrings loosened slightly, and after thanking the emperor for his grace, he stood up. With the movement of getting up, he quietly and quickly looked at the past.

Today's son is known for his handsomeness and gentleness, and when he sees it today, he really doesn't live up to his name...... There is no doubt that he is handsome, but not gentle! Looking at his eyes with pickiness and trouble, it seems that he is very disliked very much.

Why is that?

Could it be that he did not perform well today, or did he commit some kind of behavior that violated the taboo of the Son of Heaven?

Zhou Liang pondered quietly, and then became more and more cautious in his words and deeds.

……

The much-anticipated palace test finally came to an end.

The banquet in the palace and the praise of the new science and technology scholars are handled by the Ministry of Etiquette. Xiao Xu doesn't have to ask all of them. Even the banquet only showed its face, and it left quickly.

"The emperor left in such a hurry, he must have gone to Jiaofang Hall again. ”

"It's up to you to say that!"

The ministers knew the love of the emperor and queen, and it was okay to laugh in private.

Gu Hai's ears were sharp, and after listening to it, he smiled and said nothing.

Luo Ting didn't know what he thought, and his brows furrowed slightly.

……

As expected, Xiao Xu left the Jinluan Palace and went to the Jiaofang Palace.

Gu Guan Ningxian had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Xiao Xu, he immediately got up to greet him. Without waiting for Xiao Xu to open his mouth, he asked in a low voice, "How?"

Xiao Xu looked disgusted: "The literary style is acceptable, and I reluctantly ordered a champion." ”

Gu Guanning: "......"

Gu Wanning was amused when he heard it, and glanced at Xiao Xu teasingly: "This Zhou Zhuangyuan can be as handsome and unparalleled as everyone has said by mouth?"

Xiao Xu's response was unsurprising: "It's eye-catching." ”

Gu Wanning let out a smile and sighed, and the end of the note went up.

Xiao Xu coughed and changed his words: "Compared to my young fashion, it is two points worse." ”

Gu Guanning: "......"

Gu Wanning couldn't bear it anymore, and reminded lightly: "You were famous for your wisdom and gentleness when you were young, and when it comes to appearance, Xiao Rui is even better than you." ”

Xiao Xu: "......"

The husband and wife looked at each other for a moment.

Xiao Xu finally opened his mouth to admit: "I was indeed born handsome, and I have only seen it in my life." Then he snorted softly: "The girl's family loves handsome young men." No wonder Gillian saw him once, and he was fascinated by him. ”

When he said the last sentence, there was a unique sourness of his father in his tone.

Gu Wanning couldn't cry or laugh, and came over with a blank look: "When a man gets married, a woman should get married, Gillian is already sixteen, and it is common for love to open up." Look at you, your father, who has eaten this dry vinegar. I'm not ashamed!"

Without waiting for Xiao Xu to refute, he asked again: "From what you see, is Zhou Liang worthy of being a gillian husband?"

Xiao Xu immediately said: "Today is just that he has passed the first level." If you want to be a Gillian colt, you have to carefully observe for a period of time before making a decision. ”

Gu Wanning thought for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate." Zhou Liang is young and talented, he is the champion of the new department, and he has never been married. As soon as today passes, there will be people who like him as a fast son-in-law who rides the dragon. If you are such an 'observation', if someone else preemptively determines the family affairs, it will not be beautiful. ”

Xiao Xu was a little angry: "According to what you said, do I have to make a decree to marry today?"

"Of course not. ”

Gu Wanning smiled faintly: "What kind of character a person is, I can't see it overnight, I have to observe it for a while." However, before that, we have to let everyone know that this is the best candidate for you and me. In this way, no one dares to rush to propose. ”

……

On this day, Gillian was restless and in a trance. In the piano art class, I played a few wrong notes one after another.

The female master who taught the piano reminded politely: "If Her Royal Highness the princess is tired, it is better to rest for a while before practicing." ”

Gillian's cheeks were slightly hot, and she quickly gathered her thoughts: "Thank you Master for reminding me, I must practice the piano seriously." ”

Then, sure enough, there were no more mistakes.

After the piano class, there is a break for incense. Sister Hui came over and laughed in a low voice: "Sister Gillian, Gongzi Zhou shined in the Jinluan Palace today, and he was hit by the champion!"

The news in the palace is the most well-informed, not to mention such a major matter that everyone pays attention to.

Sister Hui has heard about it, how could Gillian not know? This day, her heart was suddenly upset, and it was all because of Zhou Liang.

The girl's mind is inevitably a little ashamed when she is spied on. is the down-to-earth Gillian, who heard Sister Hui'er's words, and felt a fever behind her ears.

"He is the champion, what does it have to do with me?" asked Gillian pretending to be calm.

Sister Hui'er's big eyes turned around, and she grinned: "Yes, yes, this matter clearly has nothing to do with Sister Gillian, it's all my mouth." ”

Gillian's cheeks also began to heat up.

Sister Hui snickered, said no more, and quickly opened the topic.

After school, the companions met together as usual.

Min Da's big voice shouted again: "Eh! I really didn't expect that Zhou Liang to be so powerful! I actually won the champion! Cousin Gillian, you don't know yet!"

Then he winked at Brother Qian'er's tiger head: "Fortunately, Zhou Liang took the initiative to retreat that day, otherwise, the two of you would have to bring humiliation on yourself." ”

Everyone: "......"

A mallet is a mallet!
