Although Gu Chengyu didn't reply later, he still greeted him with a smile at this time, which could be regarded as giving him face. Zheng Lun was worried that Gu Chengyu was still angry, so he could only step forward to apologize.

"Reply?" Gu Chengyu was very surprised when he heard it, he didn't receive a word from Zheng Lun.

Zheng Lun is quite above board, there is no need to lie to him here. Gu Chengyu didn't have to think about it, he knew that it must be his shallow-eyed father who did a good thing.

Zheng Lun looked at Gu Chengyu with a stunned expression, and guessed that he hadn't received his letter. He couldn't help but feel a little angry, his father would really pull hatred for him, Gu Chengyu was the champion, not to mention how smooth his official career would be in the future, at least he would go faster than them in front.

What's more, Gu Chengyu is his friend, and the two have been in friendship for more than three years. Now that his father is like this, he will break off his friendship if he doesn't do well. Zheng Lun felt very sorry, and he said to Gu Chengyu apologetically: "Chengyu ......"

"Senior Brother Zheng doesn't need to say much, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. It was me before, so we should have been more casual and didn't have to stick to these etiquette. ”

Zheng Lun, as the concubine of the concubine, did not have a good time in the Hou Mansion, and his father also hoped that his son would become a dragon, Gu Chengyu could still understand. Before, he also thought that Zheng Lun and He Jisheng were the same kind of people, and he misunderstood him. Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, Gu Chengyu is also ashamed of his thoughts.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, releasing their suspicions.

Sure enough, the emperor did not attend the banquet, and the minister of the interior was appointed as the chairman, and the minister was naturally Xia Qing of the cabinet. The chairman and ministers have one seat for each member, two officials below the volume have one seat, one seat for the champion, one seat for the list of eyes and tanhua, and the rest of the jinshi are all four people and one seat.

Gu Chengyu saluted the officials who came one after another according to the rules.

Then the new jinshi entered the seat according to the ranking, he was the first, and the position was under the chairman, that is, under Xia Qing's nose. The previous things were all related to Xia Qing, but Gu Chengyu didn't look at him closely.

When he was facing the saints, he couldn't look around, so he only looked at it from a distance.

"The champion of this test is three yuan and the first, Gu Zhuangyuan is a rare genius in a hundred years!"

As soon as the banquet began, Gu Chengyu was named by Xia Qing, obviously praising him, but secretly making him the target of public criticism.

Some of the officials and jinshi present were watching the excitement, and Gu Chengyu's limelight was too strong, which had already caused everyone to be dissatisfied. Besides, if you offend Xia Shoufu, who would dare to come forward and say a word for Gu Chengyu?

Hearing this, Gu Chengyu hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully towards Xia Qing.

"Lord Shoufu praised it falsely, the emperor just looked at his young age, so he gave him a champion."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Jinshi present softened a little. Gu Chengyu has real talent and real learning, which is obvious to all, and everyone present is actually extremely convinced in their hearts, except for a very few people, of course.

At this time, it looks quite modest, which makes everyone feel more comfortable.

What kind of city is Xia Qing? His face did not change, and his words changed, "Anyway, Gu Zhuangyuan is also based on his true ability." I heard that your teacher is Liang Zhirui, the capital of Zhishi? ”

Gu Chengyu was very unhappy in his heart, that son was still let out by his teacher, and the teacher had already said that Xia Qing was not dealing with him, but he didn't expect to mention the teacher's name in public.

Gu Chengyu can't wait to pull him down from the position of the first assistant, and call him the teacher's capital? Isn't this the face of the lower teacher?

However, he still said with a smile on his face: "The family teacher is surnamed Liang, and he is the former first assistant Liang Zhirui." ”

"Oh! How is your teacher doing in recent years? I haven't seen him for many years, and since he went to Jingyuan Mansion, the official has no way of knowing about him. I heard that he came back from Jingyuan Mansion, what? You're still tough, aren't you? ”

The expression on Xia Qingbiao's face was a little intriguing, and listening to the tone, he seemed to be very concerned about Liang Zhirui's appearance. But that casual appearance, with a vague smile on his face, almost disgusted Gu Chengyu.

Just before the ranking was tried, after Liang Zhirui pulled him down, Gu Chengyu stood on the opposite side of Xia Qing.

In Xia Qing's heart, Liang Zhirui Zhishi is just to make room for him. Didn't you see Liang Zhirui's resignation, did the emperor approve it?

The old man was very shrewd, and when he saw that the holy family was not there, he resolutely withdrew from the court. Not to mention, Xia Qing still admires this courage.

"The teacher is very healthy, and he teaches in the house of Jingyuan Prefecture, and many students are attracted to him, even many students go to Jiangnan."

Needless to say, Liang Zhirui's reputation is self-evident, Gu Chengyu is not exaggerating, but some students from Jiangnan came to ask Liang Zhurui to accept him as an apprentice.

Although there is still the reason why Liang Zhirui is the former first assistant, it is because of his talent after all. None of the officials and jinshi present could refute this.

Liang Zhirui was originally very famous in the capital, although he was not as good as Mr. Dongyuan, but not worse than Fu Ming. It was only later that Liang Zhirui's mind was all on the court, and his reputation for erudition and talent was naturally gradually forgotten.

Xia Qing listened to Gu Chengyu mention the students in Jiangnan, and his heart was naturally unhappy. However, today is a feast of grace, of course, you can't take it too seriously. The coming day is long, and I hope that Gu Chengyu will still have such a sharp mouth behind him.

For Gu Chengyu, Xia Qing had to admit that this kid did not fall into the name of the champion. But the mere fact that Gu Chengyu is Liang Zhirui's disciple can push them to the opposite side.

Then Xia Qing deliberately ignored Gu Chengyu, directly named Min Feng's name, and said a few words of encouragement. Gu Chengyu didn't mind either, and sat directly in the seat.

Min Feng is Xia Qing's closed disciple, and it is not uncommon for Xia Qing to take care of him like this.

Gu Chengyu looked at the delicacies in front of him and felt a little pity in his heart. After such a long delay just now, the dishes are cold.

In Gu Chengyu's heart, these dishes are much more important than Xia Qing. You can't eat the food in the imperial dining room outside. Although Gu Chengyu's restaurant can do it, it tastes different from the food here after all.

Fu Yanshan, who was on the side, was a little stunned when he saw Gu Chengyu actually raise his chopsticks and eat. Which of the Jinshi present did not greet their future colleagues or officials with a wine glass? After all, this is a great opportunity to develop your network!

Even Fu Yanshan, a nerd, knows something, will Gu Chengyu not know? He also did this because he didn't want to put a hot face on a cold ass.

The people who wanted to wait and see before also saw Xia Qing's attitude towards him now, so naturally they would not come to make friends with him again.

I just want to make friends with him, and I'm afraid I won't dare at this time. If it is remembered by Xia Qing, won't it be worth the loss?

Most of those officials are headed by Xia Qing, and there are definitely not many left. However, the wine still has to be toasted, even if those officials treat him coldly, it can't be rude.

Yu Zheng was naturally happy to see all this, he raised his wine glass and took a sip, thinking secretly in his heart, this is the beginning! When he entered the court, he knew what officialdom was.
