Before the start of the competition, Huang Tai read out the rules, dividing each competition score into three grades, and the first place in the final score will be his son-in-law.

In the middle of the hall are three desks, sitting Fu Chang, Fu Jian and Helian Longshan. The three of them are contemplating their eyebrows to conceive an essay with the title of "Self-denial and Retribution".

The front of the hall is divided into two parts, north and south. There are three bookcases on the north side, and three old Confucian scholars sit in the back, who are colleagues in Huang Taitaixue, who are responsible for judging today's competition, and there are three bookcases on the south side, and three relatives of the teenagers sit in the back: Fu Jian, Fu Xiong, and Qian Muqing.

When Fu Jian knew that his younger brother Fu Xiong also asked someone to ask for his son to marry Huangfu, he chuckled in his heart, and secretly thought: Brother Fu Xiong is fighting in the east and west, pacifying the world, and ruling in Guanzhong, with a lot of his credit, even if he destroys Ran Min in the north and weakens Jin in the south, he can't do without his commanders to go out on the expedition, and now the children and nephews are fighting for a woman, how can it be good, and must not hurt the brother's harmony for this, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin Empire, how could he destroy his future for a mere woman.

When Huang Tai's idea came to Lu Polou - after trying to hire a son-in-law, Fu Jian's mood became relaxed: this is the best, the brothers do not lose their harmony, and the children and nephews marry according to their talents, which is fair and just. So he decided to come to the scene in person to watch the competition between his son and nephew.

After Fu Xiong persuaded his son Fu Jian to deliberately lose to Fu Chang, he was in a relaxed mood, he knew that Huang Tai was good at shooting, and he was very curious about this science.

When Qian Muqing went to the Huangfu for his apprentice Helian Longshan to ask for marriage, he didn't know that the emperor and the prime minister had already asked someone to come to the door to ask for marriage. When Huang Tai told him the truth that he had to try to hire a son-in-law, Qian Muqingdeng understood that his apprentice had become a foil for the interests of the royal family's sons and nephews this time. But the words have been spoken, and they cannot be taken back casually. Now sitting at the exam site, Qian Muqing secretly sweated for his apprentice: Don't be too ugly!

The three old Confucian secretly weighed the responsibility on their shoulders today, and thought about how to successfully complete their task. The identities of the three test takers are very troublesome for them, especially Fu Chang and Fu Jian, one is the crown prince, the son of the emperor, and the other is the son of the prime minister, and no one can afford to offend.

"No matter what the real results of the two Highnesses are, they can't be rated too badly. Yes, it can only be so!" the three old Confucians thought of going together. In their hearts, Fu Chang's results should be ranked first, Fu Jian ranked second, and Helian Longshan could only rank third.

It has long been in the chest. When Huang An gave him "Divination Heart", he also revealed the title of the essay to him by the way. Fu Chang likes to read, hides splendid in his belly, conceives for more than a month, writes a big treatise, sprinkles more than a thousand words, and is quite complacent in his heart. In order to hide people's eyes and ears, you can't write it immediately, you must pretend to be thinking and meditating slowly.

Fu Jian likes to write and is martial, and he is not afraid of on-the-spot composition. On the same day, I met Xiuniang in the back garden of my teacher, and I fell in love with her Juanxiujiao, and when I went home, I begged my father Fu Xiong to find someone to come to the door to ask for marriage.

Fu Xiong knew heroes and loved heroes, and appreciated Huang Tai's knowledge and strategy, and heard his son say that he liked Huang's daughter and wanted to marry her, so he readily agreed, and immediately found Cheng Fu Liang in the imperial history, and asked him to go to Huangfu to ask for his son.

Who knew that after Fu Liang arrived at the Huang Mansion, he just told him about the courtship, and Lu Polou, the captain of the school, came, and he also came to ask for relatives for others, and the person entrusted was the emperor of the dynasty - Fu Xiong's brother.

Fu Liang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to resume his life and told Fu Xiong what had happened. As Huang Tai expected, Fu Xiong was in a dilemma, he had the intention to take the initiative to withdraw, and he was afraid of losing face as the prime minister, so it was not good to say it; letting his son compete with the prince for a woman would be extremely detrimental to himself and his son's future development.

Just when Fu Xiong was difficult to decide, Fu Liang transferred Huang Tai's meaning to him: there are many courtesy, it is difficult to choose, and only if you want to try, you can only accept a son-in-law. Fu Xiong was overjoyed, thinking that this was a good step, and his son could withdraw from this embarrassing courtship competition with dignity. Fu Xiong gave his son Xiao benefits, Fu Jian struggled for a long time, and finally made up his mind to give up this relationship with his future career as the priority.

Although Fu Jian didn't want to win this family affair, he didn't want to lose too badly, so that these ministers would look down on him. He wants to show his talent in composition, and in the other two topics, he can lose to Fu Chang appropriately, as for the scar-faced boy, his grades can't be ranked behind him.

Fu Jian calculated: he should write his own articles well and strive to rank first in the grades; he can be slightly inferior to Fu Chang in shooting; and he should memorize one paragraph less in his endorsement, which is slightly inferior to his brother.

Helian Longshan held a brush in his hand and clumsily wrote on the paper the article that had been completed a long time ago. In the name of learning the writing skills of composition, he asked Zhang Yin, a temporary teacher, to demonstrate to him the norms of composition, and the topic was self-denial and retribution. At this moment, this article written by Zhang Yin is being placed in the bedroom of Helian Longshan in Qianfu.

Helian Longshan wrote a paragraph, closed his eyes and pretended to think. In fact, he was opening the white screen in his mind and adjusting Zhang Yin's article to the screen to help him finish writing the article.

However, it was said that Liu Tong, the servant of Helian Longshan, began to clean up his master's room after his master and apprentice left the Qian Mansion.

Time flies, a stick of incense will soon burn out, Fu Chang and Fu Jian brothers have completed the article and handed it over to the three old Confucians.

Helian Longshan sped up his writing speed and tried to control his emotions as much as possible, knowing that his ability to see things on a white screen could only be effective when his body and mind were quiet and energetic.

"Calm down, don't worry, there is still time, there are still a few crosses to finish!" Helian Longshan cheered himself up.

Helian Longshan closed his eyes and looked at the article on the white screen, and suddenly saw Liu Tong enter the white screen in his mind, and reached out to pick up the article page by page, as if to sort it out.

In ancient times, writing with a brush was relatively large, and an article often had to be written on multiple sheets of paper to complete.

In order to make it easier for him to adjust the article to the white screen in his mind, Helian Longshan and Master set off for the Huangfu and placed the article on the bookcase page by page.

Unexpectedly, the diligent servant cleaned up the room, and saw that the paper on the master's bookcase was in a mess, so he set about to tidy up the article page by page.

Besides, Helian Longshan, seeing that he was about to finish writing this article and could hand it in, suddenly saw Liu Tong packing up the article on the bookcase, and suddenly became anxious, thinking: "Don't move! I'm useful." Unconsciously he said, "Don't move! ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was taken aback.

The white screen in Helian Longshan's mind disappeared suddenly, and he suddenly woke up.

The old man sitting in the middle stood up and warned: "Disrupt the order of the examination room, demerit once, demerit three times, and cancel the test results." ”

Helian Longshan was shocked into a cold sweat, and when he closed his eyes and read the article again, he didn't know where Liu Tong was.

Helian Longshan scratched his ears and cheeks, unable to help himself, watching the incense burn out, he could no longer write half a sentence, so he had to hand in the unfinished article.
