"You want to take the imperial examination?" Mother Zhou sat in the dining hall with wide eyes.

"Hmm." Zhou Ruocheng buried his head.

"That's not what you said before." Zhou's mother looked puzzled.

"I want to try a little harder." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"Isn't it a good thing that the young master wants to take the imperial examination?" The maid who was putting the dishes and chopsticks on the side said.

"You don't know what your young master has yet? If you can take the second test, you will definitely not fight for the first, and I have been called by my husband for this kind of temperament. Mother Zhou glanced at Zhou Ruocheng.

"The young master is very motivated, look at that kid in my family, he hasn't passed the township test." Another old mother came over and said with a smile.

"You really, I don't know what I have born to a child? When is it going to get better? Mother Zhou sighed.

"Okay, okay?" A man's voice was heard.

The servants all said respectfully, "Master." ”

Zhou's father is about 1.8 meters tall, he started as a literary play, and he is also a little famous in the industry in the capital, with a single eyebrow on his mouth, and he always has things in his hands, sometimes it is Bodhi, sometimes it is walnut.

Father Zhou sat down, and the people around him sat down, put down the walnuts in their hands, and everyone picked up the chopsticks.

"Do you really want to take the imperial examination?" Father Zhou picked up the wine glass, didn't drink it, and said first.

Zhou Ruocheng held the bowl and looked at the rice grains in the bowl, he knew that everyone was looking at him with the bowl now.

Zhou Ruocheng swallowed the rice in his mouth, and then replied, "Hmm." ”

Father Zhou drank the wine.

It is a trend to hire people in Jingzhou, even if it is a poor family, at least hire a servant to improve their status, although the Zhou family does not have many servants, but it is also a big family, because it is not a native, so the concept of superiors and subordinates is not very important, and everyone in the family eats at one table.

Father Zhou didn't know how many cups he drank, and suddenly stopped in mid-air again: "Did you do something?" ”

Zhou Ruocheng choked on his neck and swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty.

The whole family looked at him again.

“。。。。。。” Zhou Ruocheng raised his eyes, "No." ”

"He's blinking!!" The maid screamed.

"The young master blinks when he lies!!" The old mother also said.

That's why I hate tongue women... Zhou Ruocheng muttered in his heart.

"If it happens, is there anything unspeakable?" Father Zhou asked.

"Actually... Zhou Ruocheng simply closed his eyes and made a bet with Zhao Jinting. ”

"Bet at a young age! Look at you! Mother Zhou hurriedly counted down.

"What bet?" Father Zhou asked.

"If I make the list, he'll give me a hundred taels." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"Silver?" Zhou's mother asked.

"Gold."

"Rich people are just different." The servants muttered.

"So you said yes." Father Zhou asked.

"If I don't make the list, then give him your twelve-year-old Bodhi, father." Zhou Ruocheng sweated on his back and replied quickly.

This next week, my father choked up, "Hmm, hum, hum. ”

"If it doesn't work, forget it." Zhou Ruocheng muttered quietly.

"That's if you have to get in." Zhou's father said.

"So father, will you give me some blood and get a gentleman?" Zhou Ruocheng asked tentatively.

“。。。。。” The father looked at his son helplessly, "You stinky boy... ”

A hellish month of bad malignment began.

Classes during the day, and at night there are private gentlemen targeted teaching, and my father is personally supervising on the side, of course, this is related to his own "baby." ”

Of course, Zhou Ruocheng also knows how important this is, because if he doesn't succeed, then his baby will be gone, so he looks back at his father who is sitting behind, and he won't grow a beard after becoming a eunuch... When I thought of my father's beard, it was gone.

Mr.'s ring "snapped" on his shoulder, "Give me concentration!" ”

Zhou Ruocheng continued to look at his book, okay, for the sake of his baby, he has to work harder.

。。。。。。

Finally the day has come.

"I said you really want to go to the imperial examination?" It was Zhao Gongzi who saw him off, and according to the rules of the capital, mothers are not allowed to show their heads in public.

"Hmm." Zhou Ruocheng is still returning to the exam questions.

"What about your father?"

"He was at home with his twelve years of Bodhi." Zhou Ruocheng replied.

"It's weird to come back after you fell in there last time, nothing will happen, right?" Zhao Gongzi asked.

"Eh, I met an old man in the palace, scolded me a few words and let me go." Zhou Ruocheng scratched his nose and replied.

"I thought you had met a princess and wanted to go into the palace to see her." Zhao Gongzi smiled.

"Ahh Zhou Ruocheng frowned.

The entrance to the imperial examination is now full of people. Everyone is waiting for the exam to start.

Then at this time, I heard a shrill voice coming from behind, "Princess Luoying has arrived~"

It is not uncommon for members of the royal family to come to participate in the imperial examination, and most of them are actually to prove that they are not waste people who eat imperial food.

The elongated Great Wall sedan drove over, and the crowd consciously moved out of the way, stopped, and an old eunuch sat on the nephew and walked down.

"Welcome Princess Luoying~" was another sharp voice.

"Greetings to Princess Luoying." The people on the side bowed, and the idea of kneeling was gone, but the least politeness was still required, as for who was Princess Luoying? I don't know.

The door of the back seat was opened, and the feet wearing the high-top fell to the ground, and the light blue wide-sleeved Liuxian skirt village took out a different charm, and the soft long hair was not coiled, but naturally put on the shoulders, and took a bunch of hair between his temples and tied a pair of braids at the back of his head.

Without any veil, the beautiful appearance made the students who came to refer to it not forget to take a few more looks.

"This princess has a bit of a look." Zhao Gongzi said.

"Ahh Oh, yes. Zhou Ruocheng once again inserted his pocket, isn't this the little girl who scolded him in the imperial garden.

The royal family naturally has a special priority channel.

"Deacon Wei, you should step back first." The princess turned back to the eunuchs and palace maids.

"The old slave retired first." A few people just hunched over and slowly retreated.

Zhou Ruocheng felt tired when he looked at it, and shook his head vigorously.

As soon as the guards left, the paparazzi came up, and a group of people began to take pictures around the princess.

The doorman came up to keep the order, and the princess took advantage of this time to look around.

Some shameless people really greeted the princess.

Zhou Ruocheng hurriedly turned around and planned to walk into the crowd, but was pushed forward by the crowd that surged up from behind, and then rushed to the front with the crowd.

"Oh no, wait! Let me start first ... Although Zhou Ruocheng tried hard to stand firm, he still did not have the power to defeat worship in the end, and his feet were unstable and he fell down once.

Fell on, in an open place.

Suddenly everyone was silent.

Zhou Ruocheng looked at the sky and thought, "It's over." ”

"Madame Fusam! Yes, yes, young master! The maid who was watching live TV at home cried.

"What?!" Mother Zhou looked forward and found that her son was now falling in front of the princess with a big character.

Father Zhou almost didn't break his Bodhi, "What is he doing?!" ”

At this time, a figure appeared on Zhou Ruocheng's head again, but this time he was wearing underwear under the skirt.

The beautiful and extremely nasty face approached him: "Are you alright?" ”

In fact, it is this sentence, but it can be praised by the paparazzi as the slogan "The princess is close to the people, and the mother is the world", and then he is the lucky one favored by the princess.

! Zhou Ruocheng scolded in his heart, but he still smiled shyly.

In the end, it was the two guards beside the princess who pulled him up, and then when he pulled him up, the princess whispered three words in her ear.

"Dead eunuch."

Zhou Ruocheng raised his head and smiled at Mona Lisa, then bowed slightly and retreated.

"Eh, you kid is not shallow!" Zhao Gongzi didn't know where it came from.

"Do you think it's okay to be withdrawn?" Zhou Ruocheng had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Maybe you're getting the title of the gold list because you're contaminated with the princess's royal atmosphere." Zhao Gongzi said.

“。。。。。。” Zhou Ruocheng looked at the princess's back again, the princess was still a model of grooming, Zhou Ruocheng spit out the stone to her fiercely, I have to work hard today.

。。。。。。。。

The imperial examination, can be said to be the most difficult examination in the country now, although it is no longer the eight strands, but the scope is very wide, three points of culture, three points of political affairs, and the rest of the test is not your other, that is, the so-called thought, every year there is a blank sheet of paper on the examination paper for you to write your own views on the country, in the new generation of people with new ideas to drive the development of the country, which makes many students fall off the list, you know, the people who participate in the imperial examination are people who have studied hard for so many years and have not heard anything outside the window, They know what kind of thinking, so many gentlemen draw up essays on a certain basis for candidates to write down and make up scores, which makes the examiner can see the gap between some people when they mark the paper.

Each year, the self-report questions are reviewed by the examiner himself, which makes the imperial examination the most important examination in the country.

Zhou Ruocheng held the scroll in his hand, and felt that the road to handing in the scroll was so heavy.

After hesitating for a while, he finally stepped forward.

After handing in the papers, Zhou Ruocheng walked out of the examination room, and the corridor of the examination room was quiet.

"Anyway, it's all written." Zhou Ruocheng smiled bitterly, "The princess should have a lot of adults... ”

"What's wrong with the princess?"

It was that voice again, Zhou Ruocheng shrugged his shoulders and turned around, "Princess... ”

"Yo, why did you become cowardly? What about the previous drag? Princess Luoying sneered.

“。。。。” The corners of Zhou Ruocheng's mouth twitched, and then he bowed ninety degrees, "There are a lot of princesses, spare the grass people... The little one is willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life. ”

"Are you so unconfident in your answer?" Princess Luoying stared at Zhou Ruocheng.

"Well... The test has been tested, and the preparation has been prepared... Zhou Ruocheng muttered.

"I've investigated you well, Zhou Ruocheng." The corners of Princess Luoying's mouth lifted.

"How can the little He De win the favor of the princess... Zhou Ruocheng thought in his heart, damn, she really missed her own household registration, why is this woman's heart so narrow-minded?

"You've always been in the top few grades in school, but you've never been the first, and the teacher's evaluation always feels that you haven't done your best, and you have a feeling that you're almost done." The princess said.

"Almost hooray... Zhou Ruocheng smiled.

"I hate this kind of person who is obviously talented but has no chance to pursue him." The princess sank.

"It's over." Zhou Ruocheng muttered.

"Now, what I said that day didn't count." The princess said.

"That princess, can you be a little more accommodating? Just let me enter the palace and be a cow and a horse. ”

"No, all the eunuchs in the harem are eunuchs except for the royal family."

"Then let my whole family go, can I be alone?"

"Do you think I'll say yes?"

"Don't deceive people too much...

"It was you who first despised the royal family."

"Then I'm leaving." Zhou Ruocheng turned around and left.

"You're back!"

"What for?!" Zhou Ruocheng looked at each other impatiently.

"Answer me honestly, if you had the chance, would you contribute well to this country?" The princess asked.

"Now, Princess, you know I'm from out of town, right?" Zhou Ruocheng asked.

"Why did I check you so clearly?"

"Our ancestors are from Jeju, when I was a child, I grew up in my grandmother's house, my grandmother's house was flooded when there was a big flood, my grandmother has not been found until now, my grandmother is the most traditional Central Plains people, if I was the state capital or military officer of Jeju at that time, don't say disobedience, even if I kill the head, I have to rush back to save my grandmother, as for the country, then at least there must be a good emperor!"

After Zhou Ruocheng finished speaking, he left without looking back, "Farewell!" ”

。。。。。。。。

Three days later, it was also the day of the list.

Early in the morning, the maid and the old mother went to the street to read the list, while the father coiled his string of Bodhi at home.

Zhou Ruocheng had already broken the jar and broken, and it didn't matter if he was dead or alive.

"Sir! Madam! Master! The maid ran in.

"How's it going? Did you get in? Zhou's mother asked.

"The young master's name... In, behind Sun Shan! The maid said.

Suddenly, Zhou's father fell on the recliner, and his face was bloodless.

。。。。。。。
