"When I'm eleven or twelve." Wei Xingzhen replied.

"So early?" Feng Yan was a little surprised, "But Si Tiantai, doesn't it only accept students over the age of fifteen?" ”

"Fifteen years old is the minimum age to participate in the official examination, but Si Tiantai usually hires some nearby mountain people to do some miscellaneous work. In the first few years of my time at Si Tiantai, the most I did was to carry lanterns at night and go to various stargazing platforms on Daizong Mountain. ”

Wei Xingzhen paused, "It wasn't until the seventh year of Tianfu that I passed the official examination before I officially joined Si Tiantai." ”

"Seven years of heavenly care." Feng Yan whispered.

Si Tiantai's official examination is a selection mechanism independent of the imperial examination, because of Si Tiantai's unique conditions, it is known as the Great Zhou Xiaolongmen.

All the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty who have reached the age of 15 can register for the examination until they are 28 years old.

There are a total of seven official examinations, in addition to the article strategy, there are also geometric mathematics, calendar classics, astrological surveying and mapping and many other items.

Because of the wide variety of assessments and the difficult content, candidates are not required to pass the first attempt.

Candidates can choose to specialize in a different subject every year, and after passing each subject, the results can be retained for five years at Si Tiantai - in other words, as long as they have passed seven subjects within five years, they will be considered to have passed Si Tiantai's official examination.

Most people take three or four years to complete this exam, and there are those who excel and leap into the dragon gate in two or three years. The only exception known to Feng Yan was in the autumn of the thirteenth year of Tianfu, when Yin Shiyun, who had just turned fifteen, took the official examination for the first time and passed all seven subject exams.

Feng Yan calculated in her heart.

Wei Xingzhen was born in the eighth year of Chengping, and His Majesty changed the yuan in the fifteenth year of Chengping.

Then when Tianfu was seven years old, Wei Xingzhen was also fifteen years old.

Feng Yan was slightly stunned.

——This means that Wei Xingzhen also passed all the seven exams for Si Tiantai to select officials.

I don't know why, Feng Yan suddenly felt a lot of sympathy for the person in front of her.

Maybe it's really rare to have seven subjects in a year, but when it happened to the adopted son of a woodcutter in the mountains, no one cared......

Feng Yan turned her head sideways and looked at Wei Xingzhen not far away.

"When Lord Wei was in Si Tiantai, what kind of official position did he do?"

"Hmm...... There are a lot of them. ”

"For example?"

Wei Xingzhen didn't notice the ups and downs of Feng Yan's mood at all, he looked at the zenith and said softly, "The first appointment I received was Dr. Keo. ”

"Dr. Leak...... Feng Yan thought for a moment, "is he in charge of the astronomical calendar conversion?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Xingzhen nodded, "Later, when the Winter Official Supervisor resigned due to illness, I was transferred to the top post, and the main task at that time was to cooperate with the Winter Officer to do some stargazing and mapping in midwinter, wax moon, and January, which was much more interesting."

Later, he was promoted to Lingtailang, but what he actually did was to sort out Si Tiantai's paperwork...... But by mistake, in the fourteenth year of Tianfu, he had the opportunity to be selected to be a school manager in Wenyuan Pavilion. ”

Counted, in five years, Wei Xingzhen was admitted to Dengfeng Pavilion as a district school manager.

…… It is no wonder that few people in the DPRK and China are willing to associate with him.

He was promoted too quickly, and his background is so thin, it is inevitable that people will worry about whether making friends with such a person will secretly offend other Qingliu.

Feng Yan also suddenly realized at this time that Wei Xingzhen was a chess piece here in the Feng family, and the same was true for the Heavenly Family.

This thought choked her throat very quickly, and a bitterness filled her heart - Wei Xingzhen, a strange person like duckweed, walked into the quagmire of the hinterland of Da Zhou without knowing the depths, and even took the initiative to put shackles on herself.

“…… Lord Wei has worked hard. Feng Yan said in a low voice.

Wei Xingzhen glanced at Feng Yan, and he felt that Feng Yan's "hard work" was very sincere.

But is it hard?

So far, so good, so easy.

In the dark, Feng Yan slowly sat up.

In the unlit room, only a little starlight spilled from the windowsill, Feng Yan couldn't see Wei Xingzhen's face clearly, but he could see Feng Yan's.

Feng Yan's expression was a little dazed, "Can I ask Lord Wei one more question." ”

Wei Xingzhen also sat on the ground, "You say." ”

"Lord Wei, what do you like about me?"

"......" Wei Xingzhen frowned.

This question, for a while, he seemed to have some ...... I can't answer that.

In silence, Feng Yan whispered again, "My lord...... Don't you think it's a pity? ”

Wei Xingzhen was stunned for a moment, "What is a pity?" ”

"It's a pity that you have been operating for half your life, and it's a pity that your future life, since you have walked from Si Tiantai to Feng Pavilion step by step, where is there still a little shelter from my Feng family."

Feng Yan said softly, "...... I'm not an IKEA person, Master Wei understands. ”

Wei Xingzhen slowly stood up.

He walked up to Feng Yan and reached out to touch her cheek, which was slightly wet.

"Don't cry." He said softly.

"If I were Lord Wei, I wouldn't be here." Feng Yan raised her head, "Isn't it good to live a leisurely life in isolation at Si Tiantai?" ”

“…… Don't cry. Wei Xingzhen's hand ran through Feng Yan's hair and gently pressed her against her chest, "It's also good here." ”

Feng Yan frowned, "What's so good here?" ”

Up and down the government and the opposition, there are many people who are sanctimonious but have sinister intentions.

Besides, the closer you get to the holy car, the more you are trembling on thin ice, don't you know that the emperor's heart is impermanent, today's high-ranking and powerful officials are smoking, and tomorrow's high-rise buildings will fall, and the trees will fall and scatter......

"If you want to cling to the powerful, you should have come to the door when you saved me last year and be thanked by my family, but you didn't; If you want to win the favor of the Holy Grace, then when you catch He Kui, you should immediately sacrifice him to Your Majesty, but you don't have it. Lord Wei......

Feng Yan took a deep breath, "What the hell are you doing, do you know it yourself?" You're wasting your time here, wasting all your talent on things that don't make sense, you-"

"Ah Yan." Wei Xingzhen suddenly called her.

He leaned over and half-crouched down, "I know. ”

Wei Xingzhen's voice was low and steady.

At this moment, he was very close, Feng Yan only felt that Wei Xingzhen was like a moth to a fire, Feng Yan couldn't tell his mood at the moment, he just wanted to sigh and make people.

"Is this also a siege?" She said in a low voice, "I want to walk around, Lord Wei is obviously outside the city, but he is trying his best to squeeze in......"

"Where does Yan want to go?"

Feng Yan laughed and shook her head slightly.

Such thoughts have not occurred since the age of seventeen.

She has her own responsibilities to bear, which cannot be shirked or shirked.

Feng Yan said in a low voice, "Tomorrow...... Before going to Daizong Mountain, I want to go back home. ”

"Okay." Wei Xingzhen said softly, "I'll go with you." ”
