Early in the morning, all the horse-drawn carriages gathered at the gate of the palace to line up to enter the palace, and the ladies came in full costume, not only to cheer for their brothers, but also to be the most free grand gathering for young people.

Han Jiangxue and Han Jing sat in the same carriage, while Han Yajing sat in another carriage with the two cousins of the Liu family who came over to play a few days ago. After entering the palace, everyone went to the direction of the Qinwu Palace, because every year the first competition is the martial test, and the next thing after the martial arts test is the literary test. Because of this, generally speaking, people who are not particularly sure will not choose to participate in the civil and military double examinations together.

The large open space outside the Qinwu Hall has already set up the ring, and the big ring in the middle is reserved for the final battle for the first place, and the big ring is surrounded by four rings, which can be tested at the same time.

"My sister is dressed up a little more plain today, you see that everyone else is dressed like a flower, and you won't lose to anyone if you look like you and put on makeup carefully." Han Jing was obviously extremely relaxed, and the martial arts test had nothing to worry about for him, at most, it was a matter of ranking in the top few.

Han Jiangxue said with a smile: "Today is a competition between you men, not a beauty competition for women, why should I compete with others for this kind of strength, how comfortable is it." If I dressed like that, I would find it strange even if you didn't think it was weird. ”

"Uh, isn't this a look at how quiet you have been in the past few months, and I thought that my thoughts in this area have changed a lot, but I didn't expect it to be the same character." Han Jing was obviously extremely happy, he really liked that girl who didn't like restraint even more, and now he saw that his appearance had indeed changed a lot, but he still retained those things that really belonged to him in his bones, of course, he was very happy.

"Okay, big brother, hurry up and line up to draw lots, although the martial arts test is your strength, don't underestimate the enemy, be careful." Han Jiangxue saw that the lottery had begun to draw lots at the lottery office over there, so she urged Han Jing to go over the lottery first and officially prepare for the competition.

Seeing this, Han Jing didn't delay any longer, nodded at the girl, and went over first.

There were already a lot of people around the ring, Han Jiangxue raised her eyes and looked around, and soon found a lot of familiar faces.

Han Yajing didn't know when she had stayed with Zhang Wanru, Sheng Mengling and others to talk and laugh, and it seemed that the relationship between the several people had been reconciled.

Listening to Ziyue, the Liu family deliberately found a pot of very valuable and excellent peony and asked Han Yajing to give it to Zhang Wanru as a gift of apology, and even the noble ladies who had watched together that day also received a gift that they liked and was quite valuable.

Liu's hand has always been very good, and he naturally spared no effort to clear up the adverse effects for his daughter.

Just thinking about it, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him: "Han Jiangxue, why haven't I seen you come out to play during this time?" ”

Turning his head to look, who else could Li Xingming be if it wasn't Prince Zhuang's mansion?

"I thought you would definitely enter the palace today, so I came over early to wait for you, you made it easy for me to find these days!" Li Xingming had already walked to Han Jiangxue's side as he spoke, unlike the situation in the past, when they met, Li Xingming was wearing a flattering smile, and he didn't know which tendon was in the wrong place.

"What are you looking for me to do?" Seeing this, Han Jiangxue's expression was lukewarm, but extremely calm and calm: "Do you want to trouble me again when your face is good?" ”

When Li Xingming heard this, he immediately said with a look of wrongedness: "Where is the matter, haven't the grievances and grievances between us been settled a long time ago, where am I the kind of person who doesn't talk about trust." I have a serious business looking for you, but you have recently changed your personality and can't come out of the house all day long, if it weren't for the fear of being beaten by your eldest brother, I would have wanted to go to your house to find you. ”

"Serious? What else can you do seriously, I think nine times out of ten it's for the green branch girl who is full of flowers, right? Han Jiangxue laughed, this Li Xingming is really thick-skinned, but it is indeed a serious matter for him.

"Ouch Han Jiangxue, you're getting smarter and smarter now, you guessed it before I even opened my mouth, it's almost the same as that god operator!" Li Xingming smiled all over his face, praised it honestly, and then went straight to the point and immediately said: "What you told me last time was not wrong at all, that green branch is really as beautiful as a fairy, I don't know how many streets to throw out of those famous brands in the capital!" But the beauty ignored me, and I thought of many ways to no avail. You're so smart, give me some pointers and help me. As long as you can help me win the hearts of beauties, I will immediately bet on your eldest brother to win today's martial arts test and cheer for him, how about it? ”

Hearing that this was indeed the case, Han Jiangxue smiled again, but she didn't rush to answer, but asked, "Is it too late at this time?" ”

"Of course, such an important thing usually has to be tested after the first round of the competition before the bet will be completely closed!" Li Xingming introduced Han Jiangxue with an excited face: "Your eldest brother is also a candidate for the first place in the martial arts test, but he is not a big hit, I will build momentum for your eldest brother in a hot field for your face, and keep it to make him famous, how about it?" ”

"And how many are you going to order?" Han Jiangxue asked with a smile, but suddenly there was a way to increase wealth in her mind. In this life, she has a lot of places to spend money, and it is good to inquire about the news, she needs silver everywhere to find someone or something, and where is the monthly money enough.

"Then you really have a way to help me subdue the hearts of beauties?" Li Xingming was not stupid, his eyes lit up immediately, and he stretched out a slap and waved it in front of Han Jiangxue.

"Not enough, add half more!" Han Jiangxue stretched out her hand and compared: "Do you have to pay at least a thousand taels of silver, where is a few hundred taels enough to play?" ”

Li Xingming originally thought that it was good to throw five hundred taels of unjust money, but he didn't expect Han Jiangxue to double it all at once. There was a little pain in my heart, but when I thought of the big beauty of the green branch, it naturally didn't matter.

"Okay, a thousand taels is a thousand taels, if it weren't for the fact that I was a little tight recently, in fact, it would be okay to bet more!" He said very heroically, and he was happy to spend money. As he spoke, he prepared to beckon the entourage beside him and asked him to hurry back and get the silver to place a bet.

"Wait a minute, don't bet on my eldest brother to win this thousand taels!" Han Jiangxue immediately said: "Remember, we have to bet on Song Qin, the youngest son of General Song's family." ”

"Bet on Song Qin to win? Why, that kid's win rate isn't as high as your eldest brother's, and what does that kid have to do with you? Li Xingming couldn't figure it out, how could the unprovoked Han Jiangxue detain outsiders, this was unreasonable!

"You can bet on whoever you want, what so much nonsense, anyway, I will teach you the way to win the hearts of beauties!" Han Jiangxue decisively ordered: "Remember, if you win, you are not allowed to swallow it privately, otherwise I still have a way to make the green branch girl ignore you again." ”

"Uh, what about losing?" Li Xingming was a lot more honest when he heard the word green branch.

"If you lose, you lose, didn't you plan to throw the silver into the water when you bet on my eldest brother before?" Han Jiangxue glanced at Li Xingming: "Hurry up and let people bet, and I'll teach you how to do it after I see the ticket stub!" ”

As soon as he heard that he would teach the law when he saw the ticket stub, Li Xingming immediately called his relatives to run out of the palace to do errands, calculating that it should be too late, and urged people to run faster, delaying his good deeds, he had to screw off the head of the entourage and use it as a chair to sit on.

It didn't take long for a while, and the people who participated in the martial arts test over there had already drawn lots, and the number of people was much less than the literary test, only about fifty people in total. After all, no matter what the results are, the nobles of the right age must choose the same, of course, the dance and ink are better than the fake fist and foot kung fu, at least the shame will not be so public.

This draw is also a bit particular, and the principal has also considered the difference between strength and weakness, so there will not be a situation where the strong and strong will be eliminated in the first round. Moreover, the martial arts test is not as good as the literary test, only the top ten rankings are taken, and the rest will not be ranked to the end.

The first round of the competition started soon, but because of the excitement and the lack of highlights, there were not too many onlookers, and the royal family members had not yet appeared, but the more they got to the back, the more people watched, and at the last round, even the emperor would come to watch.

At the end of the first round, Han Jing naturally easily entered the next round, and the people who were advancing together would stay in the hall to rest, but Han Jiangxue didn't have to worry about it. The number of people in this game has been reduced by half, and the second round also has to directly eliminate the remaining half, and in the end, only ten people are left to enter the final round.
