Chapter 37: The Temple Examination 2

Now that the two of them have to meet again in the promotion competition, the emperor is all relieved, and he only feels that the daughter cultivated by Yan Qing himself is a good piece of material.

"Come on, give these candidates a seat."

The emperor is most interested in the position of translator and cherishes these ten talented people very much.

Father-in-law Xi got the order and told the little eunuch to do it quickly. Yan Minglan and his entourage hurriedly thanked him, and it was difficult to excuse himself.

"Ten candidates have passed five levels and cut six generals, all of whom are elite talents selected by the country. I am very moved now, and the promotion of national exchanges in the future will depend on the outstanding talents of future generations. ”

The emperor's words made the candidates proud and excited.

Yan Luoyi couldn't help but sneak a glance at the emperor when she heard this, thinking that she was not easy to detect, but in fact, they all fell into the eyes of her father-in-law. Seeing her restless appearance, Father-in-law Xi frowned, displeased.

This time, the emperor assigned the Xi Gonggong as a character evaluation to consider the ten candidates, and I believe that with his countless qualifications, he will be able to see seven or eight points.

So, Yan Luoyi invisibly got into trouble, but he still didn't know it.

"Okay, I've said everything I can say, I hope you can relax and show your strength."

The emperor's words were stopped, and he raised his hand and gave an order. The little eunuch who was waiting next to the ten candidates did not dare to slack off, and respectfully handed over the scroll in his hand.

Yan Minglan thanked her and slowly opened it. I saw that this volume turned out to be a picture of a translator's diplomatic trip to sea, and the monarch and the translator had a very happy conversation, and the translator was still holding a blank piece of paper in his hand, which should be an agreement.

"Presumably the candidates have seen it, this is the first time in the history of our country that a translator went to sea to negotiate, and it is also an extremely important record. It has opened up a new path to enhance national strength, no longer governing the country in a closed manner, but learning to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses and integrate the essence. Because of this, there has been a qualitative leap in China's growth in recent years. ”

The emperor sighed with some emotion, and the candidates were silent.

The little eunuch began to get busy, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone took turns to prepare. A table was placed in front of Yan Minglan, and there was an unlit incense on the table.

Seeing this battle, Yan Minglan's heart moved, and she had some bottom.

"I asked ten candidates to write a piece of experience around this painting. I'm curious about what future generations of talented people really think. ”

Sure enough, the emperor's words fulfilled Yan Minglan's conjecture.

For a while, the examinee was a little commotion, and began to look at the picture scroll in his hand over and over again. Yan Luoyi didn't seem to like it very much, and the picture scroll was almost wrinkled by her.

In order to qualify for the competition, she reviewed a lot of translation grammar, thinking that the content of the assessment during the face of the saint was similar to the second level. But who knew that the emperor was ingenious, and this time his thoughts were in vain.

That's it, the most important thing is that Yan Luoyi's ability to perceive and observe pictures is extremely poor! Writing the translator's experience through such a broken picture is simply a first two big!

"I'm annoyed ......"

Yan Luoyi couldn't hold back and muttered.

At this time, the fine needles in the hall could be heard, and the complaint she blurted out happened to be listened carefully by the emperor and Father-in-law. Especially when I saw that it was her again, I estimated more in my heart.

"The one who spoke up at the bottom was the talented son of the Yan family?"

The emperor's gaze swept across Yan Luoyi's face and recognized this hot person. Thinking of the Yan family's effect on the imperial court, and Yan Luoyi's rudeness, he no longer cares too much.

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers are."

Yan Luoyi became the focus, and he couldn't hide his pride.

"Well, that's right, be a companion with the eldest daughter of Yanqing's family, if I remember correctly, you should be regarded as Yanqing's daughter's cousin."

The emperor greeted Yan Minglan and introduced him to Yan Luoyi. Yan Luoyi didn't expect that this inconspicuous dead girl turned out to be a family, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Yan Minglan, Yan Luoyi. Good, good! The Yan family is worthy of being a family of translators, and the places in the promotion round are accounted for two! ”

The emperor didn't know, his face was full of red light, and he was looking forward to the strength of future generations.

Yan Minglan was helpless enough to be named suddenly, but now that she saw Yan Luoyi's cannibalistic expression, her mood was even heavier.

Whatever the reason, she always felt that this cousin was menacing, not close.

Yan Luoyi didn't expect that Yan Minglan, who had always been regarded as a thorn in her side, turned out to be the dead girl in front of her who killed a thousand knives. It's a shame to have the same surname Yan as this kind of goods!

New hatred and old hatred, Yan Luoyi's grudge against Yan Minglan completely rose to hatred. Thinking about today's promotion match, I must not lose, and I can't let this dead girl steal the limelight again!

After making up her mind, Yan Luoyi smoothed out the wrinkles on the scroll one by one and began to look at it seriously.

Yan Minglan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no danger. As long as this cousin doesn't mess around in today's promotion match, if there are any misunderstandings in the future, they can still be discussed, and they will be solved, right?

She didn't expect that in Yan Luoyi's eyes, she had become a thorn in the flesh in her eye, the kind that she was clamoring to eradicate all the time.

All of a sudden, a line of candidates was immersed in writing, thinking carefully about the picture scroll from time to time. A stick of incense had been lit in front of the table, and smoke was constantly rising.

During this period, Father-in-law Xi made a round trip and whispered to the emperor the insights of the articles that had been a little impressive. Some of them are very sacred, and the names of the candidates have also been impressed in the emperor's heart.

"How are the two girls of the Yan family?"

"Back to the emperor, the opinion written by Yan Luoyi is the one you are most satisfied with. As for Yan Minglan......"

Father-in-law Xi paused and shook his head.

"Mean?"

The emperor is not angry and arrogant, but scrutinized.

Yan Minglan...... Not a word has been written. ”

Xigong doesn't know what's going on, so he can only report it truthfully.

The emperor was a little annoyed when he heard this, thinking that Yan Minglan couldn't write it, so he retreated. Everyone has become a style of writing, and a hundred words are always available, and the emperor is even more unhappy in comparison.

Father-in-law Xi hurriedly relieved a few words, the time was still early, maybe everything was still behind, and he invisibly said a few good words about Yan Minglan, with her temperament, it was not impossible to do so.

When the emperor heard this, his face eased slightly. began to wait patiently, hoping that Yan Minglan would not disappoint him.

Yan Luoyi here is dedicated to two things, and while writing his experience, he can't help but look sideways at Yan Minglan, who is straightening his body. Seeing that the pillar of incense on her table was almost a third of the burning, she sneered.

The dead girl is still capable, if she can't write it, she will hurry back home, what kind of contemplation is here, and it is just a conspicuous means to make a fuss.

Yan Luoyi was disdainful, and was sure that Yan Minglan was overstretched, and her strength was not enough. She was very happy, her mind was relaxed, and she wrote two or three lines.

Yan Minglan naturally felt the prying eyes from all sides, but it was faint, and she still didn't squint. The bottom of her eyes deeply engraved the picture of the translator's negotiation at sea, combined with the subtle lines, and unconsciously imagined everything in her heart at that time.

She closed her eyes and fell into meditation.

This style made Yan Luoyi sarcastic and sneering, and made the emperor and Gonggong Xi confused and a little disappointed.

No matter what their different thoughts were, Yan Minglan sat as firmly as a clock, until a stick of incense burned more than halfway, and she finally moved.

Two or three lines of writing are sprinkled with enthusiasm, and with the inspiration in my mind, if the pen is helped, it will be written all over a piece of paper in a moment.

How is this possible!?

Yan Luoyi's eyes widened, and her mind was completely confused. The ink under his hand paused for a long time, leaving deep ink stains on the paper.

No, be calm! At present, more than half of the incense has passed, no matter how much you rush, Yan Minglan will never finish writing!

Yes, that's right, that's it!

Yan Luoyi took a deep breath and kept comforting herself. It's a pity that after the shock of this incident, all the thoughts in my mind were interrupted. She stumbled for a long time, but she couldn't finish an entire paragraph.

The more Yan Luoyi couldn't write, the more flustered she became. Compared with Yan Minglan's inspiration, he almost threw off the brush. I saw that when the time entered the race against time, a group of candidates worked hard to write and began to sprint.

During the period of the happy father-in-law, he came down and roughly swept Yan Minglan's opinions, and his pupils shrank. He hurriedly passed into the emperor's ear and said a few words slightly. The emperor's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yan Minglan as if he had found a treasure.

Yan Qing's daughter, it's really not simple!

Yan Minglan has been shuttling in the simulation drill in the past few days, constantly reproducing and translating negotiations, and has accumulated a lot of rich experience. And at the moment when she saw the negotiation map of going to sea, a picture suddenly appeared in her heart, about what difficulties and obstacles the interpreter went through when he went to sea, and how the negotiation was successful.

Combined with the memories of herself in the simulation exercise, it is this story that she wrote.

What the emperor was amazed by was not Yan Minglan's ability to depict, but her familiarity with the various steps of going to sea and negotiating with various countries. It is said that practice makes perfect, and it is difficult for many novice translators to know everything by heart, but Yan Minglan has done it.

This girl's arrangement and opinions on various tasks are like an experienced translator!

The emperor's eyes were blazing, and he couldn't wait to read Yan Minglan's experience and see how many surprises could be found in the end.

Yan Luoyi saw this scene and gritted his teeth. thought that the victory was in hand, but who knew that Yan Minglan would come to this trick again, disturbing her heart.

For a while, Yan Luoyi's performance in the hours behind him was a mess. Until she handed in the paper, she was a little depressed. On the contrary, Yan Minglan caught up, and paused his pen a moment before the incense was lit.

At the end of the two-hour palace examination, the emperor arranged for Yan Luoyi and his entourage to live in the palace, indicating that the final examination results would be announced tomorrow.

"The performance of a few candidates in the middle of this is really surprising. If I could, I would make an exception this year to admit two people and so on to cultivate selected talents. ”

The emperor's words before leaving disturbed a pool of water, and the group of candidates were shocked.

This night, the candidates, including Yan Minglan, tossed and turned, and they were worried about the final result. Finally, looking forward to the dawn, the little eunuch began to call the door one by one and led them to the palace test site yesterday.

The emperor was already sitting in the first place and waiting, and raised his hand to signal Gonggong Xi to issue the sign first. Then his gaze fixed on Yan Minglan for a long time, with appreciation.

"As a result of this assessment, Yan Minglan and Zhang Qian were selected!"

Some of the candidates were surprised and worried, especially Yan Luoyi sat on the ground after knowing that he had failed.
