It's just going to be far away.

Zhu Luan smiled without saying a word, looking at the bright lamp trees not far away, faintly and the candlelight swaying.

Duan Lizheng also looked at the lamp tree, but he didn't see anything special, he preferred the plum tree next to him, although it was the height of summer, there were no plum blossoms, but the leaves were also green.

Duan Lizheng thought about it and sat down on the chair beside Zhu Luan.

Then Yu Sinian also sat down without saying a word, Hong Shan looked left and right, took a few steps forward and retreated, and sat next to Yu Sinian.

Situ Gaoyi saw that no one replied to his words, so he had to sigh and sit down aggrieved.

Nian Huazang has always walked in the front, the farthest away from everyone, and there is really no one behind him, so he stood five steps away and turned around, looking at the circle of people at the table and frowning.

A good group of chiefs had to run to the last seat outside and sit down.

This is really eye-catching.

But there were already other candidates around looking at this side and whispering, and Nian Huazang reluctantly walked to the side of everyone and sat down.

In the blink of an eye, a table in the courtyard that had been unattended was full.

I don't know if it's the influence of the chief, but more and more students in the flow of people stopped when they passed by the courtyard and chose to sit in the courtyard.

However, there are still many people who go to the hall, after all, on this occasion, no one is willing to give up the opportunity to get closer to the examiner. It was only when the hall was full that the candidates who had not squeezed in sat in the courtyard.

The surroundings became noisy, and many candidates sitting at the table next to them couldn't help but look at Zhu Luan's table.

There are students constantly pointing and buzzing at this side.

Fortunately, the discussion did not last long, and a loud shout suddenly sounded at the gate:

"In the eighth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the examiners of Huizhou Township have arrived!"

Here comes tonight's big guys.

With the long sound of the report, surrounded by local officials in Huizhou, the invigilators of the Huizhou Township Examination walked in.

However, it is not the chief examiner of the Huizhou Township Examination who is at the forefront.

The woman dressed in red made the entire official office shine.

Princess Jinyang was wearing the princess's Zhai clothes, and the red gold phoenix on her Lingyun bun shook the ruby and shook it brightly, and walked in with the hand of the Tao female official.

Even if she was only a deputy invigilator, no one in Huizhou could walk in front of her, and she became the first person to come in.

And behind her was a white-haired, red-robed official.

He is in his early sixties, but he doesn't use crutches to walk, his waist is straight, his eyes are bright, he is mixed in with the pile of officials, and he doesn't have anyone around him, he looks like an ordinary old man.

However, when he appeared, everyone stood up.

This is the current cabinet elder who is expected to become the next cabinet chief assistant - Master Fang Bonian.

Zhu Luan sat on the chair and paused, and also stood up with the other candidates, she was relatively short, standing on tiptoe slightly, looking through the gap in the crowd.

Look through the cracks in time.

He's still old.

Fang Bonian was no longer the same as she remembered.

The official uniform on his body is darker than before, his hair is whiter, and the aura on his body is thicker.

I don't know if it's the power of time, the contours of his face seem to soften a little, and it seems to be a little different from the bursting old minister in his memory who threatened to abolish her one day.

But when his eyes sweep to this side, even if he is not looking at someone, it always gives the impression that he is watching himself.

In the eyes that seem gentle, there is occasionally a sharp light.

This is actually difficult to see, but I don't know if it is the relationship between the chiefs sitting next to him, Zhu Luan always feels that he looks a little strange when he looks here.

Although he was the chief examiner, he could only appear after Princess Jinyang, but Fang Bonian's expression did not change in the slightest, the two walked to the upper seat one after the other, Princess Jinyang stood by the chair, as if thinking about where to sit, Fang Bonian stretched out his hand and whispered.

“…… Your Highness...... Please ...... first"

"Lord Fang is polite, you are so old, please ...... first"

Fang Bonian and Princess Jinyang shirked it, and finally the old man stood respectfully on the edge of the chair and sat down after watching Princess Jinyang sit down.

Although he was humble and polite throughout the whole process, Fang Bonian always had an unsmiling look on his face.

In Fang Bonian's eyes, a woman like Princess Jinyang should not appear in such a place, but although she goes against her heart and has an order above, it is not easy to refuse.

Zhu Luan watched coldly from the sidelines, and the students around him praised him, all saying that he was humble and polite, did not rely on the old and sold the old, respected the royal family, was generous and benevolent, and was simply the embodiment of a gentleman in the scriptures.......

Zhu Luan smiled when he heard this. In all fairness, Fang Bonian was a person who was extremely in line with Confucian ethics. But many people ignore that such a person will never admit that he is wrong as long as he thinks his actions are within these moral norms.

They profess themselves to be a code of ethics.

At this time, under Fang Bonian's humility, Princess Jinyang sat in the center of the mahogany case, Fang Bonian and Governor Song sat on both sides, and other officials also sat down.

Song Mingxuan looked at Princess Jinyang and Fang Bonian, not knowing who to greet first, Fang Bonian stretched out his hand again to invite Princess Jinyang.

Princess Jinyang stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen of Huizhou, please sit down and eat something first." ”

Such an arrangement is really intimate.

After all, a banquet like this is usually not enough.

However, although Princess Jinyang suggested so, there were few students who really dared to let go of eating, and the sound of chopsticks could hardly be heard below, and many students simply rubbed their lips.

After eating some cold dishes, it was time for the routine toast.

Fang Bonian stood up and raised the wine glass in his hand, "This first cup of wine is dedicated to His Majesty the current Emperor." He exclaimed.

The sentencing hurriedly put down the chopsticks and picked up the wine glass, shouted in unison Long live Your Majesty, and finally toasted each other personally, here he put down the wine glass, and another official over there raised it again, which expressed the court's thirst for talent, as well as the expectations of the sentient beings, and encouraged everyone to go all out to take the exam, and in the future, the high school jinshi will enter the official and serve the country.

Everyone agreed, and the scene was very harmonious.

However, at this time, Fang Bonian looked around and asked, "Where is the capital of the county test in previous years?" ”

Fang Bonian had been preparing to talk to the chief since before the toast, but he looked left and right, and didn't see the rumored figure.

He wanted to meet the principals, but it was certainly not easy to ask them one by one.

"Where are they," one student pointed out of the hall.

Fang Bonian looked at the place pointed by others, and saw a little red in the green bushes.

"Woman? That's the first case of this year's martial arts test? The old man shook his head and frowned, "It's not a good thing." ”

I want to talk about "Yingluan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
