"Banquet?" Zhu Rong said suspiciously.

Banquet before the township test...... It's not new.

Because the imperial court selected Hanlin and cabinet scholars to serve as the chief and deputy examiners in various states, it is inevitable that the foreign examiners do not understand the local situation, and the local students often do not know the examiners' voices.

To solve such a problem, there is nothing more convenient than having a meal.

But that's usually in state capitals where there aren't many students taking the township exam.

In a place like Huizhou Mansion, where thousands of people participate in the township test, such a banquet is rarely held.

"Do all students who take the township exam have to participate?" Zhu Luan asked.

Old Taijun Bai frowned, "Wei Yong inquired, and said that the top 100 in the county examination every year are eligible to participate, and the top 10 must attend." ”

There are a lot of people like that.

"But I'm not in the top 100," Zhu Rong was confused.

"Young Master, you don't have to worry about this," Mrs. Chen on the side stepped forward happily, "The official messenger who came to deliver the message said that all students under the age of sixteen who are eligible to take the township examination can also participate. ”

Mrs. Chen's face turned into a flower, "The official said that the elder pavilion admires young talents the most, so he specially invited the eldest young master." ”

There are indeed very few people under the age of sixteen who have passed the county examination, and this statement has passed, Zhu Luan frowned slightly.

"So you two hurry up and get ready, it's getting dark," Old Lady Bai said, "I've already asked Wei Yong to set up the car." ”

"Great-grandmother, I'll ......" Zhu Luan wanted to say that she wouldn't go, but Old Lady Bai glanced at her as if she was aware, "The official has told you that you must go." ”

"Grandma, isn't this a little ......" Zhu Rong hesitated, "It's all a man's occasion, but the ninth sister must go to ......"

For everyone's girlfriends, such an invitation is unreasonable.

Old Lady Bai's hand holding the cane tightened, "It's not that you want to obey those officials," the old man looked at Zhu Luan, "But ......"

Zhu Luan smiled and said, "My province, since the other party has invited me so warmly, it doesn't hurt to go for a while." ”

"Since I want to take the township exam, I refuse the invitation of the examiner when I come up, which is too uninteresting." Zhu Luan said.

This girl is so refreshing, but it makes Mrs. Bai a little overwhelmed.

"Ninth sister," Zhu Rong looked at her with a frown.

Zhu Luan patted him on the shoulder, "Aren't you still there, our young talent." ”

"There's nothing wrong with knowing the big people in Shendu, and you can get familiar with your face before the township exam," Zhu Luan said with a smile.

Zhu Rong still looked a little sullen.

He sighed, "What kind of young talent, if it's really because he was invited in the top hundred, it's just because he was invited, but he was invited because he was young......"

"It's also a skill to be young," Zhu Luan stood on tiptoe and touched his head this time, and Mrs. Chen on the side looked at this "offence" behavior in amazement, "And this time I may be able to see Senior Brother Yu and Senior Brother Nian for a long time." ”

"Senior brother, won't they stay in retreat until the start of the township exam?" This topic successfully attracted Zhu Rong's attention.

"I originally planned to do so, but now it seems that I am afraid that it will not be satisfactory," Zhu Luan chuckled, "Didn't you hear just now, the top ten in the county exam must participate, can those chiefs run away?" ”

Zhu Luan's laughter was not without irony, "Even if you are in retreat, it is estimated that you will be dragged out." ”

"How could it be ......" Zhu Rong was surprised, "to do it so ......"

"Because the great men of Shendu think that this is a grace," Zhu Luan said, "how can you not participate in such a glorious banquet?" ”

Fang Bonian is a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal.

"Whether you can see it or not, it depends on the evening," Zhu Luan said, looking at Bai Lai Taijun, "You just said you want to put on makeup?" Let's get started. ”

Zhu Luan and Zhu Rong walked into the British mansion, and not long after, Wei Yong drove out of the back door in a carriage.

……

……

The sun sets, twilight falls, and the official office of the governor of Huizhou is full of people on their backs.

The whole building is brightly lit, the fire trees and silver flowers are like daylight, although the preparation time is extremely short, but the Song Governor still sent people to carefully decorate the county government, and the whole county government looks like it has a sense of splendor.

The number of students who came to the banquet was so large that the porters and officials were scrambling to confirm the identities of the people at the front door.

There was a long queue in front of the official office.

"It's ridiculous." At the end of the line, Hong Shan crossed his arms and said in a rough voice.

"Hey, how do you speak," Situ Gaoyi went up to cover his mouth.

"It's normal for Brother Hong to be suddenly interrupted during the retreat, and to be a little dissatisfied," Li Wenyao said as he lifted his forehead.

He was also interrupted by a sudden official errand during the retreat, and he had to go here.

"Lord Fang is also well-intentioned, it is normal for civil officials not to know that cultivators are preparing for the martial arts test," Among the people gathered together, only Nian Huazang was the calmest, even he was interrupted halfway.

"Huazang is right," the mellow voice of the young man came from not far away, and everyone looked at it, and Duan Lizheng jumped off the carriage.

"Sure enough, you were also invited," Mu Kezhi said as he played with the fan in his hand.

"Each other," Duan said.

"Hey, wait, if you must come to the top ten in the county exam, second son, shouldn't your little fiancée also have to come?" Situ Gaoyi said suddenly.

Duan Lizheng was stunned.

He hadn't thought of it before.

Because here and now, it was originally a world that belonged only to men.

But she was the head of the county martial arts test.

I have a reason and qualifications to come here.

"She ......" Duan Lizheng thought of the woman who had just separated in the afternoon, and was a little speechless for a while.

She won't tell him if she comes.

"It's been a while since I've seen our Miss Zhu Jiu," Mu Kezhi snapped and closed the fan, "If she comes over this time......

As he spoke, his voice lowered, his eyes looking at a place, his gaze focused on it and reluctant to leave.

"What's the matter......" Yu Sinian looked at Mu Kezhi's gaze.

Everyone also looked over, Duan Lizheng paused, and turned his head with everyone.

A carriage came and stopped from the main road, and no one paid attention to this ordinary carriage, but the moment he saw the person leaning out of the curtain and stepping out of the carriage, he understood why Mu Kezhi had such a reaction.

Duan Lizheng looked at that person, not knowing what to think, not knowing what to say, and in an instant, an indescribable emotion rose in his heart.

The woman I had only met that afternoon was unfamiliar and unrecognizable.

The teenagers were extremely surprised, because no one had ever seen Zhu Luan dressed in such a gorgeous costume, she put on red makeup, dyed flower juice, thrush powder, and even put exquisite flowers on her forehead.

Bright eyes and bright teeth, red lips and pink face, unparalleled elegance.

It's like a young lady from a young family, extremely noble, with a noble temperament, with a natural nobility, walking towards them step by step.
