Where have ordinary candidates in the capital seen Zhao Ruxi? And those children of wealthy and powerful families who have seen Zhao Ruxi during the painting competition, or heard of her various deeds, when they encounter this kind of problem, they often say "I haven't seen it" and "I don't know", and they will never talk about Zhao Ruxi's appearance with these people.

The children of powerful families actually know who can be offended and who can't be offended.

Just kidding, don't mention anything else, just Zhao Ruxi's master is Mr. Deadwood, and her senior brothers are all awesome, and they can't afford to offend; Not to mention that the emperor also favors her, and I heard that Concubine Cen is also very fond of Zhao Ruxi.

When Zhao Ruxi had problems with the grain and grass at the border gate, with his own powerful arithmetic, he recalculated the number of Guo Jitong's miscalculations for the household department, so that the grain and grass could be quickly delivered to the border pass, and he made a contribution to the society. It is for this point that they deserve their respect.

Not to mention that Zhao Ruxi's appearance is extremely outstanding.

Zhao Ruxi is a goddess in their hearts, and she cannot be blasphemed or violated.

These candidates from other places inquired about her appearance, what was in their hearts, and they didn't know if they looked at her? It's nothing more than Xiao Xiang to marry Zhao Ruxi into the door.

Snort, the Zhiwei monks can't even look down on the four sons of the Jingping Palace, and how many sons of wealthy and powerful families in the capital have also been rejected, will they take a fancy to them? One by one, they don't pee to take care of themselves, and the toad wants to eat swan meat and think about good things!

The children of wealthy and powerful families don't mention it, and other people who have seen Zhao Ruxi in the painting competition naturally don't dare to mention it. Even if they were admitted to the Jinshi and became officials, they were only one of the many officials who were struggling to survive in the capital, and the wealthy and powerful were not something they could afford to offend. Not to mention the attitude of these people, just Zhao Ruxi herself is a noble girl, and it is not something they can discuss.

Therefore, until now, the tributes in other places are stunned and don't know what Zhao Ruxi looks like, whether he is beautiful or ugly.

Of course, there are relatively few candidates who want to find out about Zhao Ruxi's appearance and marry her as a daughter-in-law, after all, it is not easy to take the imperial examination these days. Most of those who can get to the Jinshi level are twenty-five years old or above, and the children in the family can make soy sauce.

Some of these jinshi are not very friendly to Zhao Zhiwei, and they deliberately scandalize and belittle her in their words.

It has been several generations since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, and there are so many official positions in the imperial court, and there is no place to place them every three years, so there are fewer Jinshi than one session. Like this time, I heard that the imperial court only planned to hire more than 120 jinshi.

The number of Jinshi is small, Zhao Zhiwei, a noble woman, has also become a famous person in the painting world, she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and she can be regarded as famous, why do you want to grab this limited resource from them?

This kind of psychology coupled with machismo is a problem, so these people privately circulated a remark that Zhao Ruxi was extremely ugly, otherwise why would these talented people in the capital keep their mouths shut one by one, and they would definitely not be able to take action.

Besides, if a woman is beautiful, does she need to study so hard? Even if it is an uncle's house, with the title of nobleman, good-looking, it is not a problem to marry a noble man with a comparable family, why bother studying hard to fight for the future?

It can be inferred from this that Zhao Zhiwei must be very ugly.

But the rumors spread like this, after all, I didn't see it with my own eyes. Therefore, everyone is still very curious about this only female tribute. Coming to participate in the palace examination today, everyone wants to see what kind of person this ugly and talented woman in the capital is.

The people who are keen to participate in the literary and poetry meetings are all young people, and Zhu Hehuai has only been there once or twice, but he doesn't know what these people think about his niece, otherwise he will definitely beat people.

The imperial examination is difficult to walk, and there are not a few grandparents and grandchildren who take the exam together, and Zhu and Huai have no idea about taking the palace exam with their niece. He was worried that his niece, a young girl, would not be comfortable coming here, so when he came, he stood outside and waited, so that he could go in with his niece.

Zhao Ruxi had long expected that he would participate in the palace test today and be watched like a monkey; She can guess what kind of psychology those candidates are. Therefore, she was too lazy to get so early, but buckled to the Donghua Gate at 8:40.

Anyway, Suipingbo's Mansion is not far from the palace, and now there is a pocket watch, so it is convenient to see the time, but you don't have to worry about being late.

When she arrived at Donghua Gate, before she got off the carriage, Zhu Hehuai saw the sign of Suipingbo Mansion on the carriage. He hurriedly walked over and shouted, "Zhiwei." ”

He is Zhao Ruxi's close elder, and he usually calls her "Sister Xi" at home. Now outside, he's very careful about proportion.

"Uncle." Zhao Ruxi's eyes lit up when she saw Zhu Hehuai, and when Luo put the stool away, she helped Luo get out of the carriage.

Although with her current skills, jumping off the carriage is neat and light, she is unwilling to have more "unruly" and "rude" reputations in addition to the reputation of "talented girl". She doesn't plan to be unique.

She was also reluctant to accommodate others, let alone let the male tributes feel that she cared about their discussions. Therefore, she still dresses as a woman today, and she wears the same as when she usually goes out, but in the color of the clothes, she chooses a light blue skirt, with a dark blue shirt of the same color, the color is elegant, the style is simple, and the jewelry on her head is also very simple, using a hairpin inlaid with sapphires, plus two beaded flowers, the whole person looks fresh and elegant and stable. The most important thing is to walk in the middle of a group of male tributes who are either blue or blue, and do not feel abrupt.

"Uncle, how long have you been here?" She followed Zhu Hehuai to the crowd and asked.

"It's been a while."

"Everyone is here, right?"

"Everyone said, it's just you." Zhu and Huai joked.

Zhao Ruxi couldn't help laughing.

"Oh my God, look." A Gongsheng stood on the periphery of the crowd and inadvertently glanced at this side, just in time to see Zhao Ruxi walking towards them, and suddenly shouted in surprise.

Because they had to be quiet, they tried their best to keep their voices low even when they spoke. His call wasn't really high, but everyone heard it.

Everyone turned their heads.

Everyone saw a tall and tall beauty, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and an extremely outstanding appearance and temperament, walking towards this side, gradually approaching, obviously coming to Donghua Gate.

Could this be Zhao Zhiwei?

As soon as this thought came to mind, before they could deny themselves, the official sent by the Ministry of Rites greeted them and said to Zhao Ruxi: "Zhiwei layman, you are here." Everyone is here, and you're left alone. ”

This secretary of the Ministry of Rites, surnamed Mo, happened to be an official who invigilated Zhao Ruxi when she participated in the township examination, and he had an excellent impression of her, so his attitude was very kind, and he said this in a joking tone.
