Ning Zhiyuan deeply felt sorry for Xiao Liulang.

It was the first time he came to the capital, but it was not the first time he had contact with officialdom, he had gone to the government school to teach when he was in the local area, and he was also a temporary boss by the side of the county commander.

He had seen the darkness and turmoil of officialdom with his own eyes, but he never expected that there would be such injustice in a place as clear as the Hanlin Academy.

In fact, he himself is not going too well, but this kind of disobedience is within the normal range, and he has no power, no power and no background, so he is not taken seriously.

Xiao Liulang was deliberately suppressed.

That is to say, Xiao Liulang has a good mentality, he has not collapsed, and he has already collapsed if he changes to others.

Ning Zhiyuan didn't say anything anymore, patted him on the shoulder, and went out with a sigh.

Xiao Liulang went out to wash brushes, and when he came to the ink washing pool, it happened that King Anjun also came here to wash ink.

He doesn't have to do it himself, someone else does it for him.

He was surrounded by a group of colleagues who congratulated him one by one.

"I heard that Zhuang edited and took the first place in the exam, which means that real gold is not afraid of fire!"

"Yes! No one dares to show favoritism this time! ”

While they said without scruples, they didn't forget to cast a meaningful glance at Xiao Liulang.

How did Xiao Liulang come to be the first along the way, and it was "spread all over" in the capital as early as possible, saying that he was nothing more than a face similar to that of Zhaodu Xiaohou Ye seven or eight points, and won the favor of Xiaohou Ye's father and Xiao Hou Ye's fellow brothers.

Even his champion was deliberately released by the emperor in order to suppress the banker.

And the emperor can't stretch his hand so long in everything, the Hanlin Academy is a place where the emperor can't stretch his hand, no, he was exposed in the first Hanlin exam!

In fact, don't think that the reader will be more subtle than the country shrew, the country shrew is just loud, the words are rough, and the sore spot of the scolding is not good.

When a scholar scolds a person, it can cut open people's hearts, and the blade of lips and tongues can see blood.

However, the officials of the Hanlin Academy are not as careless as a few little gentlemen in the Guozijian, they cherish their reputation, and they will not really block Xiao Liulang here to do anything to him, nor will they deliberately trip him to embarrass him.

They will only use their power to suppress him, or they will mock him and isolate him.

Xiao Liulang's expression didn't change much.

He washed his pen and was about to leave.

“…… It should be counted like this, and the number is twenty-seven. After Wang Anjun gave the answer to an editor who asked him for arithmetic problems, he called out to Xiao Liulang, "You wait." ”

Xiao Liulang paused and looked at him lightly: "Something?" ”

King Anjun said: "Hanlin Academy is a place of fair competition, no matter what others say, I hope you understand that this place speaks by strength." You know how your champion came about, and the Hanlin Academy will not give Xuanping Hou a chance to intervene. You really shouldn't have taken refuge in Xuanping Hou in the first place. ”

If you are a military general, it is reasonable to take refuge in Xuanping Hou.

Obviously a servant, the dealer is the tallest tree!

Xiao Liulang didn't answer King Anjun's words, but just glanced at the topic in the hand of a certain editor on the side, and said, "Nineteen." ”

With that, he left calmly.

King Anjun frowned.

What nineteen?

The editor was studying the process of solving the problem of King Anjun, and did not dare to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

King An Jun walked over, took the problem and looked at it again, and suddenly realized that he had written one less number in the seventh step, and the final calculation result was-

King Anjun took the pen and paper and counted it on the manuscript paper.

Nineteen!

How would he know?!

Has he done this before? It wasn't just because I listened to Editor Zhang recite the question, and then calculated the result.

No way!

He's not that smart!

With such a huge amount of calculation, ordinary people have to count a day on paper, and Hanlin Jinshi is smarter than ordinary people, but it also takes half an hour.

He was so brilliant that it only took him a quarter of an hour, but he had to write out the complex and huge calculations on paper.

And he miscalculated.

How could Xiao Liulang be right just by calculating by heart?

After the duty, King Anjun got into the carriage back to the house, and unexpectedly found that Mrs. Zhuang was actually in the carriage.

"Grandfather." King Anjun saluted, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm going to see you when I'm passing by." Mrs. Zhuang said in a good mood.

Since Empress Dowager Zhuang sent Zhuang Yuexi home from the palace, Mrs. Zhuang has not had such a happy expression for many days.

King Anjun couldn't help but ask, "Why is Grandfather so happy?" Is there any great event? ”

Mrs. Zhuang's appreciative gaze fell on him, and he couldn't hide his smile: "Counting, it's indeed a happy event." ”

There weren't many things that my grandfather could call a happy event......

King Anjun looked at Mrs. Zhuang in puzzlement, and for some reason, a layer of ominous premonition surged up in his heart.

Mrs. Zhuang finally stopped selling Guanzi, and smiled at King Anjun: "Yuan Shoufu is interested in you." ”

"Yuan Shoufu?" King Anjun was shocked.

Yuan Shoufu is the Taishan Beidou of Zhaoguo, the first auxiliary minister of the cabinet.

How could he suddenly be interested in himself?

It's not that King Anjun is arrogant and feels that he doesn't have that strength, it's really that his reputation has already spread, and Yuan Shoufu has already taken a fancy to him.

If it is said that it is because of this imperial examination, but he only won the list, and above him there is Xiao Liulang, the new champion.

Mrs. Zhuang said with a smile: "You went to Yueluo Mountain to sort out the library this time, he has seen the ancient books you sorted out, and he is very satisfied with you." ”

King Anjun was also very satisfied with the ancient books he had organized.

He has read a lot of books since he was a child, and he has never slackened his studies in Chen Guo, and he has also learned history well.

He didn't have many ancient books sorted out that day, but he was confident that he was the best among the few people.

"Yuan Shoufu loves to study ancient books." Zhuang Taifu said.

"I see." King Anjun suddenly realized, no wonder he suddenly took a fancy to himself, "Then he...... Are you planning to take me as a disciple? ”

It would be great if I could worship Yuan Shoufu as a teacher.

Although they are all considered protégés of the Son of Heaven after being admitted to the Jinshi, no one will dislike having such an excellent master.

In his opinion, there are only four people in the six countries who are qualified to be his teachers.

One is the deceased Feng Lao, one is the Hanshan monk of Yan State, one is Mr. Lian Yun of Zhao State, and the other is Yuan Shoufu.

Even his fourth uncle, Zhuang Xian, is not very qualified.

As for Huo Xijiu, he was at odds with Empress Dowager Zhuang, and King Anjun naturally didn't like him much.

"It's not a disciple, it's a grandson's son-in-law." Mrs. Zhuang said.

King Anjun frowned.

Mrs. Zhuang said: "What he wants to promise you is the granddaughter who grew up in the Taoist temple, that girl's talent is also good, Yuan Shoufu is willing to value her, but unfortunately she is a woman and cannot inherit the mantle of Yuan Shoufu." If you really marry her, you will be no different from Yuan Shoufu's disciples. ”

Why is it not bad?

It's all a generation's errand.

King Anjun didn't say this.

His family affairs are not up to his own decision, but he is not marrying the woman he likes, so who is not the same to marry?

After Yang Shiyu was promoted, he was busy teaching Shu Jishi in the Hanlin Academy, and he didn't care about making things difficult for Xiao Liulang for the time being.

Xiao Liulang was on time.

He packed up his things and left the Hallym Temple.

As soon as he left on the front foot, Cen Xiu also came out of his office on the back foot.

He avoided Xiao Liulang for the past two days, firstly, he had calculated that Xiao Liulang's heart was weak, and secondly, he was also observing when Xiao Liulang would go to Yang Shiyu to confront and complain.

Xiao Liulang walked west after leaving the Hanlin Courtyard.

He clearly remembered that Xiao Liulang used to go east......

Did you really go to Yang Shi to read a complaint?

The west side happens to be the direction of the Hallym Academy-

Xiao Liulang did go to the Hanlin Academy, but instead of going to Yang Shi to study, he went to Feng Lin and Lin Chengye, he sorted out some astronomy and arithmetic topics last night, which should be suitable for their current progress.

Cen edited and sneakily followed.

When he saw Xiao Liulang walking in the direction of the Hanlin Academy, his heart was in his throat!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liulang was stopped halfway.

It's a woman!

The woman was dressed in dust, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a head full of beads, and although she wore a veil, she still could not hide her ten thousand styles.

Cen Xiuxiu only glanced at it, and felt that his eyes were widening.

The woman did not step forward.

It was the little maid beside her who walked over and said something to Xiao Liulang.

From Cen Editor's point of view, he could only see Xiao Liulang's back, he didn't know what Xiao Liulang's expression was, and he couldn't hear the voices of the two.

Then, Xiao Liulang left.

The little maid and the woman both owed Xiao Liulang slightly.
