The inside of the official office was as bright as day, and the dense lanterns on both sides of the road under the house shone on the dense candidates on the road, and the direction they traveled was a large hall in front.

"That hall is not where the officials of Huangsha Dao work...."Pei Yanzi said suddenly.

Xue Qing and Zhang Shuangtong, who were walking beside him, all looked over.

"Unlike other official offices, the magistrate is only in the side halls on both sides. Pei Yanzi continued, looking at the main hall, "This hall has only been opened twice since it was built, the first time was when the empress was buried, and the second time was when the emperor came to worship. ”

Zhang Shuangtong looked at the main hall with bright eyes, and said, "Then it's really an honor to open it for us for the third time." ”

Xue Qing looked at Pei Yanzi and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Young Master Yanzi seems to have heard a lot of excitement. ”

Pei Yanzi said: "If you don't want to listen to it in this lively place, you can't do it. ”

Xue Qing and Zhang Shuangtong both laughed, and walked up the steps into the hall while laughing, and the wild goose wings under the seat in the hall unfolded a few cases, which belonged to the seats of the adults and examiners in the court, and the rest were arranged on both sides according to the state capital, at this time there were already many people in the hall seated, looking at or talking to each other curiously on the seats, and the new candidates asked about finding their seats, buzzing and chaotic, but this hall was tall and broad, and seemed to engulf all the noise, silent and majestic.

"Here, here we are. ”

The people of Chang'an Mansion greeted everyone, and soon they all took their seats, and before they sat down, Xue Qing heard the greeting, Xue Qing saw two men waving across the three rows, it was the candidates who had just traveled together today to experience the old things of Huangsha Road, Xue Qing waved at them with a smile.

The two candidates withdrew their gaze, but they heard someone next to them babbling and said, "That Young Master Xue... You know it. ”

The two candidates hummed vaguely, exploring whether there was something wrong with the old things in Huangsha Road, and it was better not to mention it to people casually, everyone is a reader, and they should be very good at listening to voices and discerning opinions, so they won't continue to ask.

But this person doesn't seem to be a scholar, and he is even more embarrassed when he hears the words.

"How do you know that?" he said, leaning over, curious and surprised.

Sound.. He also recognized, and the two candidates looked at it and asked rhetorically.

The examinee said: "Xue Qing of Chang'an Mansion, poetry prodigy, how can you not know." ”

The two candidates were very surprised and said, "Isn't poetry a shooting subject?"

The examinee said: "What kind of archery, that's Xue Qing, a poem sent to the great eunuch Liao Chengming, when is the bright moon at the head of the water tune song, and on the moonlit night of the Spring River, the sisters of Qinglou in such a remote place as ours are all singing." ”

The two candidates had naturally heard about Liao Cheng's matter, but because they had not heard too much about it, they only knew that they had not remembered who it was, and at this time, they couldn't help but be surprised, that young man, who was gentle and polite, but with a little weakness, could he do such a thing? They couldn't help but stand up and look at Xue Qing's side.... Do you want to go over and get acquainted with each other again? At this moment, there was a commotion in the hall.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

Such whispers buzzed, and everyone looked out of the temple gate.

The two examinees followed, and a group of examinees came in, all dressed in plain white robes, with belts adorned with jewels, shining in the light of the temple lights, and for a time they could not see their descriptions.

This is... Xiliang people.

Most of the people in the hall were not unfamiliar with this kind of costume, the humming suddenly disappeared, the hall became quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on them, exploring and being surprised and curious.... At this time, it was not only the Great Zhou candidates who were seated in the hall, but many candidates from friendly countries were mixed in, but it did not cause much commotion, or their clothes were ordinary, or they did not have the prince to participate.

It is rumored that this gentleman's test was held precisely because of Prince Xiliang.

Is Prince Xiliang among them? After all, it's the crown prince... When he came to the Great Zhou, it was the treatment of King Xiliang, and he should appear with the officials of Guozijian, or not at all.

After the dazzling, everyone also saw this group of Xiliang people, all of them were seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers, described as handsome, and the one headed by them was even more dazzling in this group of young people, like a piece of glowing white jade, and a pair of eyes were as bright as glass black..... It's so good-looking, although all of you are men, many people can't help but flash this thought in their hearts.

It's about too good-looking, and the hall suddenly resounded with a gaffe exclamation.

"Ahh

Not one or two, this sound made everyone's eyes look chaotically for a while, and they saw that someone was shaking in one seat, but then there was no movement, and the sound sounded on the other side.

"Ah! It's them!"

"They!

shouted anger in his voice, and everyone's eyes focused on that side, and saw a few young people standing up, staring at the Xiliang Zhusheng who walked in with an angry expression.... Are you angry because you see the beauty of Xiliangzhu's growth?

Of course not... A low voice rang out in the hall.

"It's Kaiyang Mansion...."

"Oh, they were kicked out of the inn by the Xiliang people..."

"Originally, it was shared, but the people of Xiliang wanted to monopolize it..."

“.. Because the new place they found in a hurry was remote and imperfect... Wretched. ”

The sights in the temple become complicated, there are those who gloat, there are those who sympathize... This time, the candidates in Kaiyang Mansion are unlucky, so if they were themselves, they would also be kicked out... So when I put myself in his shoes, I became more angry.

The atmosphere in the hall is also a bit dull and weird, the Great Zhou people are hospitable, but everyone will not like unfriendly and impolite guests.

The Xiliang Zhusheng didn't seem to be aware of the changes in the hall, their posture was still the same, and they even smiled at the angry Kaiyang Mansion candidates over there.

Several candidates in Kaiyang Mansion were even more annoyed and commotioned, but soon an older candidate stopped them, and the attendants in the main hall also came over and whispered to reassure.... Is it possible to make noise and conflict here? That is absolutely not allowed, and several young candidates from Kaiyang Mansion finally sat down.

The Xiliang Zhusheng had long since stopped looking over there, looking forward or looking at each other with the candidates who were looking at them left and right.

"Where are our seats?" the young man at the head asked the candidates on the side, looking happy.

The candidate was asked to avoid his gaze slightly, but he still stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction.

"Thank you, brother. The Xiliang boy led by him bowed his hand, and his demeanor was no different from that of the students of Da Zhou, if it weren't for this exaggerated dress.

Xiliang Zhusheng quickly took a seat, and the low discussion in the main hall continued, and several teenagers from Chang'an Mansion were no exception, muttering something together.

Pang An felt that the hand pressing on his shoulder was retracted, and the strength on his body was also removed, and he called out to Young Master Qingzi: "It turns out that they are from Xiliang." A little angry, "It turned out that they didn't allow us to stay in the guest house, and they came here to bully others." ”

The first sound was that the person who made it also stood up, but he was immediately held down by Xue Qing and sat down, and his body was also blocked by Xue Qing.

"These people are too much. Pang An said, "Young Master Qingzi, why are you stopping me and letting everyone know that their domineering behavior is rampant.."

Xue Qing said in a low voice: "This is meaningless, except for making everyone angry, you see that they dare to continue to drive away the candidates in Kaiyang Mansion, and the swagger without the slightest fear and guilt, you can know that they don't care about these at all, in this case, it is better to save up energy to give them real punishment." ”

Pang An said: "What is the real punishment?"

Xue Qing said: "Of course, it's to defeat them in the things they care about....", patting Pang An on the shoulder, "Young Master Pang, defeat them in the gentleman's test, this is the most meaningful." ”

It was said that it was a gentleman's test specially held for the prince of Xiliang, and if he defeated the Xiliang people, it would indeed be the greatest humiliation for them, Pang An nodded when he heard this, looked at the place where Xiliang Zhusheng was seated, shook his fists, and stopped talking.

Liu Chunyang looked at Xue Qing, what did he do in the middle of the night?

Xue Qing saw his gaze and walked over to sit down, leaned over slightly and smiled: "It's meaningless but happy." ”

It's really... Liu Chunyang's apricot eyes were round.

The buzz in the hall didn't last long, and someone walked in again, which made the hall suddenly fall into silence, and all the candidates who were seated looked over, and the man who came in this time was wearing an official uniform with a majestic expression.

The adults of the country are here.

Not only Guozijian, but also a red-robed official, he was in his forties, with a smile on his face, and his hands in front of him, this posture was extremely incompatible with his red-robed official uniform, and it looked a little funny, but no one laughed, but they all stood up.

This is Lord Song, Yuan, and Song.

Xue Qing also stood up, tilting his head slightly to look through the gap between the candidates in front of him. [.]
