Before he finished drinking a cup of tea, Liu Nian looked over here as he walked.

He was the second to turn in the papers.

The sons and daughters of Xun Gui were even more disdainful, and handed over the same blank rolls as Zhang Ning.

"Ah Nian, this way." Zhang Ning beckoned. This teahouse is the closest to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it will definitely wait here after coming out.

Liu Nian came over, Ren Rong and Senior Brother Gao retreated outside the teahouse, waiting for the little master to call at any time.

Liu Nian rubbed his hands excitedly, and before he had time to sit down, he picked up half a cup of residual tea on the table and poured it into his mouth, saying, "We will hand in the papers first, hahaha......"

It's so cool, isn't it?

It's really cool. Zhang Ning smiled: "The important thing is to be on the list, what does it matter if you submit your papers early and late times?" ”

"One of the two of us must be on the list, that's fine, right?" Liu Nian said with confidence: "What I wrote is my father'......"

"Silence!" Zhang Ning interrupted him and said, "Before the list is released, how do you know who can be on the list?" Everything is up to His Majesty and the British Princess. ”

The emperor asked the question, and the final result affirmed that he had the final say, and Zhang Fu only put forward opinions at most.

Liu Nian has always been clever, and immediately realized that he had lost his words, and his eyes were looking around, looking around to see who else was in the teahouse, and said in a loud voice: "That's that." ”

It was still early, and there were not many people in the teahouse, only two or three tables of guests.

"What are you looking at?" Liu Nian glared at them fiercely and shouted to Xiao Er: "Another cup of tea and snacks." It's so blind, the master came for a long time, and he didn't come to wait. ”

Xiao Er hurriedly retreated after serving tea and snacks.

When the guests saw that he was dressed in brocade and had a fierce face, they all turned their heads to look away.

Zhang Ning said: "If you are thirsty, let's go back after drinking tea." "This is not the place to talk.

"Okay." Liu Nian poured another cup of tea, stretched out his sleeves to wipe his mouth, and said, "Go to your house, we can talk." He was so excited that he had something to say to Aning.

Zhang Ning left a piece of broken silver on the table, the two of them went out of the teahouse, got into the carriage, and made sure that there were no pedestrians outside the car, Liu Nian began to talk non-stop.

…………

When the hourglass was halfway down, the sons and daughters of the honorable people wrote the papers one after another.

The sand is all leaking, and when the time for handing in the papers is up, there are still four or five noble children who are wrinkling their eyebrows and thinking hard, obviously not finished. The scribe is ruthless with an iron face, and the volume is accepted correctly.

The voices in the courtyard were high and low, and finally they were silent, and the children of the nobles talked about how they answered the questions, argued a few words, and left one after another.

Zhang Fu did not leave immediately, but went to the room where he usually works.

The scribe placed the box containing the test papers on the table and lowered his hand. For the sake of fairness, the names of the candidates were obscured in the examination papers, as in the imperial examinations, but they were not re-copied.

Although Zhang Fu is nearly sixty years old, his energy is still good, and he does not feel tired because of the invigilation. He opened the box, took out a test paper, and looked at it. Seeing half of it, his white and black eyebrows were tightly twisted together, barely finished reading, put it aside, and picked up another one.

When I saw noon in this way, I came in with me and asked if I wanted to have lunch.

"Send it in." He said.

Soon, the person came in with the food box and set the same dishes on the table on the other side.

The wing room is very large, and the middle is partitioned by Duobao Pavilion, which is used to entertain guests outside and office inside. Zhang Fu dined here, and the dishes were placed on the outside table.

When he met guests, no one dared to enter the room, which was already a common practice.

After eating, Zhang Fu used to drink a pot of tea, and after drinking tea, he continued to read the rolls, and this time it was an afternoon. At the end of the day, I came in and lit the lamp, and then asked if I wanted to eat here.

It didn't matter, he would go home at the beginning of the unitary hour, and go back to the British Mansion for dinner.

"Let's eat here." Zhang Fu didn't raise his head.

He replied with a kiss, hesitating to light two more candles. He didn't know if it was his illusion or the candlelight was not bright enough, but he always felt that Zhang Fu's face was much darker.

Zhang Fu finished dinner, drank a pot of tea, and continued to read the test papers. The second watch was even more drummed, and he came in with him to ask if he wanted to prepare for supper, and couldn't help but persuade: "Grandpa Guo, it's not early, it's time to rest." ”

After all, you are nearly sixty years old, no more than when you were younger.

Zhang Fu sighed and said, "Prepare a pot of tea." ”

It's okay not to look at the test papers, the more you look at it, the more he makes him angry, how do these rabbit cubs grow, they don't have the slightest ambition, and they try their best to appease the crooked ideas. If Your Majesty wants to make a pacification policy, why do you use this question?

As the minister of the first emperor and the current emperor's close minister, how could Zhang Fu not understand Zhu Qizhen's thoughts? The emperor is a martial artist, otherwise how could he treat the nobles preferentially?

When going out on the expedition, the commander is served by the nobles, and the chief generals and deputy generals of the border gates are also served by the nobles. This reason seems to be very shallow, and it goes without saying.

This review is clearly set up by the young emperor to select the good generals of Warat, and the rabbit cubs can't see the situation clearly, don't the elders in the house understand?

When the tea was served, Zhang Fu drank two glasses and looked at the test paper again. There are only a dozen copies left, so I read it quickly, and then squinted for a while, ready to go to court is serious.

"Huh?!" He only looked at two lines of this one, and his eyes lit up. After reading the ten lines at a glance, he let out a long breath and said to himself: "Finally, it is not dishonorable to the Holy Order." ”

There are more than 400 volumes, and finally one of them is a suggestion for Pingwara, which is not easy.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the noble son who wrote the paper was a genius, and he had made plans one by one for eight years, from developing the economy, improving weapons and equipment, and how to train soldiers to the selection of commanders.

Eight years can do a lot.

But why eight years?

Zhang Fu suppressed the doubts in his heart, continued to look at the remaining volumes, read them all in less than a quarter of an hour, carefully folded the special volume into his arms, and ordered him to go home.

…………

Liu Nian talked about it for a day in Anxiang Bo's Mansion, and after dinner, he wanted to continue, Zhang Ning heard the callouse in his ears, yawned and said: "If there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow, I got up early today, I am very happy." ”

"In three days, one of our names will be on the list, or both of us will be on the list." Liu Nian was excited, his father would not be mistaken, His Majesty will definitely focus on appeasing Warat, even if he has the idea of sending troops in the future, he has already passed the review and sought a future.

Thinking of the scene of the golden belt he wore in front of the noble children; Tell those noble sons who usually look down on him that he relied on his own ability to become the governor of the Five Armies or the scene when he was a small banner of the Jinyi Guard, and the faces of those people must be very good-looking.

Just think he's already laughing, okay?

Zhang Ning said: "There is only one person on the list. Our strategies are at odds, and it is impossible for Your Majesty to adopt them at the same time. ”

Whoever has the emperor's blue eye for his strategy will to a certain extent explain the future policy towards Warat, and people of insight will make judgments based on this.

Liu Nian was only sixteen years old in the end, and insisted with longing: "Or we will all be on the list." When the time comes, we'll get a fight with them with the belt. ”

...... "Can you stop thinking about fighting?" Zhang Ning was speechless.
