Fortunately, the number of people in the palace exam is much smaller than when they will take the exam, and the gold list is faster than the apricot list.

In this way, the twenty-second hall test in March, and the twenty-fourth pass on the list, this year's etiquette can be regarded as the dust has settled.

Contrary to most people's expectations, but in the surprise of a small number of people, Sheng Sleeping Crane topped the list and was the champion of today's department.

Gao Chengxuan, who was absent from the palace examination on the grounds of "accidental fall injury", naturally could not be on the list at this moment, and Huang Wuyi took the list without shock.

Tanhua is a scholar who Sheng Weiqiao and others are very unfamiliar with, and I don't know if it's from King Gaomi's side, or is it close to the Meng family?

This year's top class is like this, but the first place in the second class is Xu Baomo, who only took the eighteenth place in the exam, which even Sheng Sleeping Crane was a little surprised. Because after the palace exam, he and Xu Baomo both silently showed their respective papers and read each other, according to Sheng Sleeping Crane's estimate, if it is completely evaluated according to real talent and real learning, Xu Baomo's ranking should be similar to that of the apricot list.

This result is already good, after all, even if Xu Baomo's talent is also very good, but not everyone can be taught by a long-famous Confucian, a veteran of the two dynasties, and a big man at the level of an emperor.

Among Xu Baomo's teachers, the one with the highest fame is just a lifter...... When he went to live in Sheng Mansion in Nanfeng County before, he had used the banner of asking for homework, but in fact, he basically didn't do anything else except for Sheng Weiqiao.

After all, Sheng Lanci was very busy as the head of the Sheng family, and even later instructed Sheng Sleeping Crane, and it was only after the old lady Sheng spoke that he put things on hold for a year, and at this time, Xu Baomo had already rolled back to Cangwu County in a gloomy manner......

In other words, whether it is Huang Wuyi or Gao Chengxuan, their teachers are better than Xu Baomo's teachers, and their qualifications are not necessarily inferior to Xu Baomo.

Therefore, Xu Baomo's ranking is not as good as these people, and there is no way to do it.

"I guess it's because the Meng clan thinks that we are their people. After Sheng Shenghe was surprised, he said to Sheng Weiqiao in private, "Seeing that we are now living back in Ningweihou Mansion, we can only win Ningweihou Mansion through us, so I deliberately raised the ranking to Brother Xu Shi." It's also for us to see, so that we know how much they value us. ”

Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this: Meng Shi was afraid that he would never dream that Sheng Sleeping Crane from the remote Nanfeng County would be the third son of the Gaomi Wangfu who had already died in the rumored future.

What kind of turbulent waves will the ensuing retaliation set off?

“…… Ming'er's grandfather has arrived, but you new science and technology scholars still have procedures to go to give banquets and rituals, but you can't go to greet your grandfather and them. Rubbing the corners of his forehead, Sheng Weiqiao simply didn't think about these troubles that he couldn't help himself, and only asked, "When the time comes, I will see my grandfather...... Do you need to give his old man some breath first?"

For such a big thing, he didn't tell Mrs. Sheng at all, and when he really gave the truth, Sheng Weiqiao was only afraid that the old lady wouldn't be able to stand it.

"Chang'an is so far away from Nanfeng County, anyway, it is impossible for my grandfather and grandmother to stay for three or two days and leave this time. But Sheng Shenghe pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'll do it myself!" After four or five days of busy work, I will have time to talk to the two elders. ”

Sheng Weiqiao felt that he was very suspicious of distrusting his ability when he said this, because he was afraid that he would help more and more, so he would rather refuse, so he couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth and hummed: "Okay then! I want to see what you say to your grandfather at that time...... Let me tell you, if you make your grandfather angry, I'm not done with you!"

"Don't worry, good girl, how can I be angry with my grandfather?" At this time, there was no one left and right, Sheng Sleeping Crane took the opportunity to pinch her cheek, and said with a low smile, "I still expect to be his grandson-in-law for his old man!"

"You just want to!" Sheng Weiqiao opened his hand, sneered, and shook his hand away.

In a blink of an eye, the next day, except for Sheng Sleeping Crane and Xu Baomo who really couldn't get away from the banquet and Xi Yi because they needed to participate in the banquet and Xi Yi of the new science and technology jinshi, Xu Zijing took a special leave, and the Hefu and Sheng Weiqiao and the three of them rushed to the wharf outside the city to welcome the two parents.

They originally counted the time and planned to arrive first, but after arriving at the place, they saw a building ship docking in a panic.

Xu Zijing hurriedly told Nan to take the ladies to slow down, and he rushed over to check the situation in three steps and two steps, but saw that the boat had not completely stopped, and an old man wearing a purple round-necked robe and a soft curtain had already walked out of the cabin.

"Shibo!" Xu Zijing looked at this person's face, and was so frightened that he almost fell into the river, and shouted in fear, "Shibo, you hurry back and retreat, this boat hasn't stopped yet, Chang'an has arrived at this time, don't be in a hurry for this moment, you must be careful!"

"Zijing?" At this time, Old Lady Sheng had already seen him, and suddenly showed a bright and dazzling smile, and asked happily, "What about that bastard boy in my family?

Xu Zijing thought that he didn't know what Sheng Sleeping Crane was going to do today, so he hurriedly raised his voice and said: "Shibo, don't misunderstand He'er! Yesterday, a gold list came out, and the kid didn't say anything about the title of the gold list, and he was also the top student in high school, if it wasn't for the second place on the apricot list before, but it was an unprecedented Lianjie six yuan! Even though he has lost the Huiyuan now, but in the year of the crown, it is enough to have such an achievement, which is rare in ancient and modern times! The child now lives in the little nephew's mansion, and the little nephew's family feels that it is full of glory and steaming culture!"

"The reason why I didn't come to greet you in person at this time is not because He'er was deliberately lazy, but because the gold list only came out yesterday, and today the Son of Heaven gave a banquet, and I really can't leave!"

"If you want to say that He'er is in her heart, she is very worried about you. When this is over, this kid must be filial to your knees!"

"Hmm, we didn't know about this on the road, my unscrupulous eldest grandson Sheng Sleeping Crane was just Xie Yuan of Nanfeng County, this time he let him go north, mainly to watch the scene, how did he actually get the top prize in the exam?!" But seeing that the old lady Sheng heard this, his smile suddenly became a little brighter, and he couldn't see his teeth and eyes, and he coughed several times before he showed a majestic color, and his voice was like Hong Zhongdao, "Isn't it that you kid deliberately made me happy and lied to me?"

"What you said, Shibo, is a big matter, how dare the little nephew tell such a lie?" Xu Zijing hurriedly said, "Besides, He'er's talent and qualifications, and high school in one fell swoop, it is also a reasonable thing!"

Old lady Sheng swept her eyes because she heard the word "champion", and subconsciously looked at the people around her, and said in a serious and loud voice: "Alas! How could it be? My unscrupulous eldest grandson, Sheng Sleeping Crane, is just Xie Yuan of Nanfeng County, I think that unscrupulous grandson is only twenty years old this year, and he was exiled when he was a child, and he has suffered a lot, and he has only been studying for a few years?"

"It's just a sir, I didn't invite any good Mr. for him at first, it's just a sour old boy!"

"After that, his father, my unfilial son Sheng Lanci, although he was named on the gold list at the age of twenty, he was just an ordinary jinshi!"

"Although the unfilial son reluctantly entered the Hanlin Academy, but later heard that I was sick, he did not hesitate to return to his hometown to serve the decoction, and he wasted the opportunity to serve in the Hanlin Academy, and he didn't get much civility at all!"

"Later, because he was afraid that I would worry, the unfilial son took over a little ancestral business...... It took more than 20 years for my Sheng clan to grow to the point where I was thriving in the county, on an equal footing with those who had been extremely rich for seven or eight generations!"

"Thinking that unfilial son has been camping all day long in the past 20 years, this homework has long been slack! Although he occasionally sings a song or two with the county guards in the county, and also has articles to exchange, what is the origin of the county guards?

"It's such an unfilial son, the time to teach me the unfilial grandson before and after, it's only been about a year, even if my unfilial grandson is a little smart, how can he be the champion?!"

Satisfied, seeing more and more eyes cast around him, and the envy and jealousy in his eyes became stronger and stronger, Old Lady Sheng coughed hard, and then resisted the urge to laugh, and pretended to scold, "Zijing, you are really nonsense, this place where people come and go, you have to make such a joke?!"

When Xu Zijing heard this, he was about to continue to explain, but Nan's party had already caught up, seeing this, Nan hurriedly stepped forward and secretly pinched him, and scolded in a low voice: "You don't have a long brain! The old lady Sheng clearly wants to show off in this place where people come and go, he has a good son and a good grandson! What do you explain? You hurry up and praise! Remember to be louder!!

After Nan's reminder, Xu Zijing finally understood why Mrs. Sheng emphasized "My unscrupulous eldest grandson Sheng Sleeping Crane is just Xie Yuan of Nanfeng County" twice, and he was afraid that the people around him would not hear it clearly!

He couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and said secretly: "Shi Bodu is about to be his great-grandfather, why is he still as fond of showing off his juniors as he was a few decades ago?"

I think that at the beginning, when Sheng Lan had just named the gold list, Mrs. Sheng must have spoken: "My unfilial son!"

The silence must be, "That's all this bastard is capable of." ”

As soon as his strict father posture waved, the unlucky ones were Xu Zijing's nephews: Ao Muzhi was the luckiest, because Ao Laomai did not plagiarize Mrs. Sheng in teaching his son, and he mainly reasoned;

Old lady Sheng said a "bastard thing" again, and Old Marquis Xu couldn't wait to go to Northern Xinjiang to beat Xu Zijing in person to vent his grievances about having a mediocre child...... Fortunately, Xu Zijing stayed in the north at that time, and the old marquis Xu had already returned to the south with the old lady Sheng.

Otherwise, Xu Zijing is very skeptical, can he survive until now?

At this time, looking at the old lady Sheng who was obviously already proud and eager to cross his waist and laugh wildly, but he still had to try to put on a posture of "This level of descendant is simply light for Lao Tzu, how can it be that Lao Tzu is so calm and has a connotative grandfather, how can he be so happy to dance with his hands and lose his majesty by such good news", Xu Zijing twitched the corners of his mouth, very worried that his father had not left the cabin at this moment, was it because he was angry with this uncle?

"Alas, this can only be blamed on that bastard thing who hugged Mo, so he passed the exam!" Xu Zijing thought sadly, "It's still a watery passer...... It's okay if my father doesn't come out at this time, after he comes out, he will be compared to Sheng Shibo in front of so many people, where is this called Dad's face?!"

He made up his mind, and according to Nan's instructions, he took out the strength of the pre-war oath in the northern Xinjiang, and said angrily to the dantian, and the sound shook the audience: "Shibo! What you said is not right! Although he is young, he never forgets it, he is quick to think, he is talented and eight buckets, he is rich and five cars, he is tall and tall, his posture is handsome, he can write and martial arts, he talks extraordinary, he is sensible and filial, he loves his brothers and sisters, he cherishes his young sister, he is very calm, he is calm and ......calm."

Fortunately at first, Xu Zijing is also at this age, and he has been in the army and the court for all these years, and he can still tell a few words of praise and scenes.

Merely......

The more he praised the old lady Sheng, the happier he became, and then the building boat that docked early in the morning, but he couldn't get off the gangplank, so the old lady Sheng stood on the deck and continued to listen to him praise his grandson, and then ...... After Xu Zijing talked for a long time, he finally ran out of words!

Seeing that the old lady Sheng was still looking at it with a blank look, looking unhappy, Nan had no choice but to whisper to him behind his back, Nan pushed his daughter Xu Caikui up, Xu Caikui also searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, Nan turned his eyes to Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang......

Finally, the words of praise that the group of people put together were finished, because Xu Zijing was strong in martial arts, and a compliment could be heard by the entire dock, at this time, the people nearby, not to mention all, at least seven or eight out of ten, out of curiosity, all gathered around to watch, "Although he is young, he never forgets, he is agile and quick, he is eight buckets, he is rich and five cars, he is tall and tall, he is handsome, he can be literary and martial, he can talk extraordinary, he is sensible and filial, he loves his siblings, he cherishes his young sister, he is calm and calm, and these words cannot describe the grandfather of the new champion.

Seeing that Mrs. Sheng was old, but she was so good-looking, mighty and heroic, she was suddenly in awe, and even several people didn't know if they really had this thought, or if they deliberately joined in the fun, and asked Mrs. Sheng loudly in the crowd if there was a shortage of granddaughters-in-law, good-looking, gentle, and filial piety, the kind that would come to things!

Looking at the grand occasion of the three circles inside and the three circles outside the dock, Mrs. Sheng felt that the limelight was almost out, so she stroked her beard and scolded the sailors on the deck: "You lazy things! Why don't you set up the gangplank after such a long time? I don't know that Lao Tzu is in a hurry to see Lao Tzu's eldest grandson, so as to teach him not to be proud and complacent because he is only the champion of high school, the champion of 20 years old, or the head of Lian Jie's case, Xie Yuan, and only won the second champion in the apricot list, our old Sheng family's family style is to be low-key and humble?!"

Mr. and Mrs. Xu Zijing: ".........................................."

Shi Bo ...... Even if you don't look at your previous refusal to go ashore, just like that, no one will think that your old Sheng family's family style has anything to do with low-key and modesty...... ......?!
