Lu Zhuyue's father was originally the governor of Jiangning, and then he was promoted to Gusu City, which is counted as the next prefect candidate, because this old prefect is now at the age of retirement.

"Sister, let's sit next to Sister Lu, since we have all come up, wouldn't it be better for others to see our jokes if we go down again?" Xie Youruo saw that Xie Youran was still embarrassed, so he immediately persuaded him.

Although Xie Tianyang is regarded as the richest man in Jiangning, he has never been an official, and there are countless wealthy businessmen in the world, but his father who is an official is different, but the tide is rising.

"Youruo, let's go down obediently, this is not the seat arranged for us after all." Xie Youran looked at his sister very willful, and became serious for a while.

But Xie Youruo didn't plan to listen to his sister's words this time, so he sat down directly.

Xie Qingyu watched from the sidelines, and also felt that Xie Youruo was very stupid at this moment, although Xie Youruo didn't want to sit under the lower position, she could understand, but such a scoundrel behavior was really a little unreasonable.

Xie Youran looked at her sister like this, and she lost her temper for a while, her upbringing since childhood did not allow her to pull her sister up.

"Sister, you see how good it is to sit here, it's very close to watching singing and dancing." Xie Youruo saw that his sister did not move, so he began a continuous persuasion action.

"Yes, sit next to me leisurely, and it's good for us to talk." Lu Zhuyue also understood what Xie Youran was worried about, but since Youruo had already sat down now, why not sit down directly.

After a while, Xie Youran also had no way, and now there are more and more people entering the Water Pavilion, and it is a loss of face for the Xie family to be in such a stalemate, so after thinking about it, Xie Youran sat down.

Then Xie Qingyu also sat down with Xie Youran, and now the three of them are the representatives of the Xie family, so naturally everything is in one place, if she is very polite and sits in the lower position, it will arouse everyone's suspicion that the Xie family sisters are not in harmony.

Xie Youruo looked at Xie Qingyu, who was also sitting down, and his eyes became extremely vicious in an instant, he didn't expect that he wanted his sister to sit on the top seat, but he was cheap Xie Qingyu by the way! This slut is used to being opportunistic, Xie Qingyu You have to pray for a while that you don't steal your sister's limelight, otherwise I won't let you go.

After a few moments, everyone was almost all seated.

This feast can be said to be more than the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet of the day, on several levels, not to mention the exquisiteness of the pavilion garden, just the number of participants, Jiangning is far from comparable.

At this time, from the back of the main seat, a person slowly walked out, wearing a dark blue antique satin gown, with a navy blue fairy pattern belt tied around his waist, and his long gray hair was also tied up.

Xie Qingyu looked at this prefect who was already in his prime, and he also sighed in his heart, this age should be retired to enjoy the blessings.

Behind him was this younger woman, who presumably was the wife of the prefect.

"Candidates who have come from afar, today this official specially set up a banquet in this Song Feng Shui Pavilion, just hoping that you can be nominated for the gold list at that time." The prefect's name is Zhu Jiuzhang, a veritable literati, and he was appointed to Gusu by virtue of the champion in the imperial examination that day, and what he did benefited the entire Jiangnan a lot.

"Thank you, Lord Prefect, for his words."

……

Everyone listened to the words of the old prefect, and everyone was very excited for a while, they all raised the wine glasses in front of them, and thanked the prefect for his words, after all, the prefect is very old, and he is very popular with the people, and this female official election is one of the examiners.

"Many people in the audience today will become colleagues in the future, and I hope that you will have the opportunity to get to know each other today." The prefect saw that everyone was drinking, and he was very happy for a while, so he said a few more words.

After finishing speaking, the song and dance came on the stage at this moment, and a group of dancing girls stood on the stage in pink robes and skirts, and the women in the audience held the guqin.

As the piano sounded.

The dancing girl with a moving posture will throw the water sleeves away, the sleeves dance, the feet are lightly stepping on the red cloth, pinching the water sleeves lightly, the feet can't stop turning in circles, with the accelerating piano sound suddenly flew straight up, and in an instant there seemed to be countless petals fluttering down in the air, fluttering and swaying, a petal, holding a wisp of agarwood.

Everyone below also chatted, but Xie Qingyu didn't find an acquaintance, because there were too many people, and he didn't know where Seinfeld was sitting, so he looked at the food in front of him and was stunned.

"Oh, is there such a thing?" The old prefect seemed to have heard some surprising news from his wife, and instantly spoke up.

Everyone was just chatting, and there was nothing important for a while, so they couldn't help but look at the prefect, and they were also curious about what made the prefect so curious.

"As you know, there were originally sixteen cities in the south of the Yangtze River, but now there are seventeen leaders in the literary examination, which is really strangely tight." The prefect seemed to be very interested, and said it to everyone meaningfully.

When the people below heard the words of the prefect, they also began to talk about it.

"What? Seventeen, it can't be. ”

"What the prefect said is still false."

"But we only have sixteen cities in the south of the Yangtze River, where are the seventeen leaders."

"Could it be?"

……

Just when the audience was talking, an unknown young lady sitting on the side suddenly spoke.

"It's Jiangning that there are two leaders!"

"Moreover, they are all from the Xie family."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more surprised, where is the Jiang Ning Xie family, and it can produce two leaders, which is an honor that has not been given since the establishment of the female official examination, and the family actually produced two leaders at the same time.

"Jiangning Xie family, where is sacred?"

"yes, I haven't heard of it."

"But Xie Youran's name has heard of it, but I don't know who the rest of the leader is."

……

Everyone guessed again at the bottom, the remaining one, that is, the name of the extra one, could it be Xie Youruo? But it can't be, Xie Youruo's literary style is poor, everyone knows it.

"I don't know which seventeen leaders, stand up and let this official take a look at these rising stars." The old prefect listened to the two leaders, he has always cherished talents, and he was also very excited in his heart, the seventeen leaders are all talents who are likely to enter the Huangyi Academy in the future, and they represent their Jiangnan, how can they not pay attention to it.

Immediately afterwards, some people began to stand up one after another, some sitting in high positions, some sitting in lower positions, and for a while, this hall became the home of the leader.

Xie Qingyu glanced at Xie Youran, and then the two sisters also slowly stood up behind everyone.

To their right is Lu Zhuyue, the leader of the Gusu City Literary Examination.

Originally, the four of them sat together, and the three of them all stood up at the moment, leaving only one Xie Youruo sitting in the middle, Xie Youruo was seen by everyone whether he was sitting or standing, and his face was also red because of shame at the moment, she had never hated Xie Qingyu more than this moment, why Xie Qingyu was just a concubine, and she could still be the leader!

She was not convinced, why, she had only been in school for a few days.

At this time, everyone looked at the few people standing on the stage, and some of them recognized Xie Youran with sharp eyes.

Today's Xie Youran is also dressed up, wearing a royal blue embroidered edging raccoon brocade straight-necked long gauze dress, a mopping and mopping rattan pattern moon skirt, wearing a blue and green bottom sprinkled flowers scattered flowers water mist green grass smoke yarn jacquard silk, three thousand green silk are all pulled into a chic Yaotai bun, the skin is like a condensed hand wearing a bracelet with a drop of red gold and a drop of oil, the waist is tied with a palace silk, a sachet is hung on it, and the feet are wearing brocade shoes, the whole person looks bright and dignified and shy of the moon.

"Isn't that Jiangning's first talented woman, Xie Youran?"

"Could it be that next to her is Xie Youruo, one of the two plants of the Xie family?"

……

Everyone also guessed who the person standing next to Xie Youran was, but no one mentioned the Xie family's unknown concubine Xie Qingyu.

"What's your name?" The old prefect looked at the people standing up in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and let everyone sit down, most of those people knew each other, and they had also come to take the test in previous years, but they didn't know who was next to them, so he immediately touched his beard and asked with an inquiring face.

"Back to my lord, the name of the folk girl is Xie Qingyu." Xie Qingyu also didn't expect that the prefect would suddenly call her name, so he went out to the prefect and blessed her body, made a big salute and said slowly.

"Rumors? It's good, the first time you take the literary exam, you can win the first place in one fell swoop, but it's a material that can be made, I heard Master Li once mention the poems you made, it's really good. "Lord Prefect, I silently recited this name meaningfully, and sure enough, it was Xie Qingyu, Lord Li, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, who was invigilated in Jiangning that day, when he left Jiangnan, he once talked about this name, saying that this woman's poetry is extraordinary and quite poetic.

Today, I look at it, my demeanor is polite, and my tone is neither humble nor arrogant, very good, very good.

"The prefect praised it falsely, and the light rumor is just a vernacular poem or two." Xie Qingyu listened to the words of the prefect, and for a while he didn't remember who that Lord Li was, poetry? A person appeared in Xie Qingyu's mind, he was the first to hand in the test paper that day, isn't it that Master Li?

"In the future, you should study hard, and don't waste it." Governor Zhu saw that Xie Qingyu spoke in a measured manner, and he also appreciated Xie Qingyu very much.

"Yes, my lord." After Xie Qingyu finished speaking, he returned to his seat.

The prefect immediately chatted with Lu Zhuyue's father again.

It's just that Xie Qingyu just sat down, Xie Youruo's eyes became extremely resentful, damn slut, there was only one sister as the leader, who knows how you used to become the leader.

His eyes rolled, he sank his breath, and said.

"Some people don't know how they got this leader? I didn't even know poetry before, but now I only entered the school and studied for a few days and passed the first place, I'm afraid no one will dare to believe it! Xie Youruo said slowly, looking at Xie Qingyu with a pair of phoenix eyes, his eyes were full of pride.
