Zhao Zixuan held the painting, walked along the mountain road, and walked forward on the stone steps, which stretched all the way to the mountainside, only occasionally seeing a few attendants with their heads hanging down coming over.

There was still some distance from the destination, and Zhao Zixuan already felt sour under his feet.

It's so hateful, what are the officials doing when they build Banzai Mountain, it's too big here, and there are so many strange stones, wow, I'm so tired!

She walked forward step by step, and a few chamberlains followed behind her, neither daring to get closer, nor daring to be too far away, this county lord's temper is too weird, it's better to be careful, last time a princess, wow! It's miserable! He was caught by the little princess, and taught him to stand among the flowers and paint for her, and stood for a whole day, and when the little princess's painting was ready, the poor prince was already dying, and he lay on the couch for three days before he could get out of bed.

Where did Zhao Zixuan know the thoughts of these servants, and walked forward with the painting in his heart, and when he reached the halfway point of the mountain, there was a moon hole in front of him, and when he passed through, his eyes suddenly opened up and was very open. The official Zhao Ji put a long case on the table, writing something; Standing next to the third son of the emperor, Zhao Kai shook his fan with a smile, overlooking the scenery in the distance.

Zhao Zixuan hurriedly walked over, and was about to speak, when Zhao Kai saw her, he immediately smiled, put his finger to his lips and pouted.

Zhao Zixuan understood, the third prince taught himself not to disturb the official family, so he tiptoed over, and when he saw that the official family was writing, Zhao Zixuan glanced at the corner of his mouth slightly, there was nothing good to write about, hum, don't turn his eyes to the side, and smiled at Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai was still very serious in front of his father, standing tall, his eyebrows and eyes were very serious, his eyes fell on the painting that Zhao Zixuan was holding, shook his fan bones, nodded, and asked in a low voice: "What kind of painting is this?" ”

Zhao Zixuan said: "I won't tell you." ”

When she said this, it was tantamount to revealing the origin of the painting, and the third prince was very smart, and as soon as his eyes lit up, he knew that the painter who had never forgotten his father in the Qiguo Mansion had sent the painting.

After a while, Zhao Ji put away his pen, exhaled lightly, wiped the fine sweat oozing from his forehead with a wet towel, glanced at his eyes, saw Zhao Zixing, and asked, "Why is Zixuan here?" Didn't you say ignore me? ”

Khan, there seem to be more people who don't care about the little county lord.

Zhao Zixing said confidently: "Ah, I'm here to send paintings to the official family!" The official tutor ignores me, then I'll leave now. It seems that she still knows a little bit of tricks to get away with, and she turns around to leave.

Zhao Ji just laughed, looking unfooled.

Zhao Zixuan took a step, wow, no one caught up?

Why does the strategy of trying to get away with it fail every time in my own hands? Shame on you! The official family is worse than Shen Ao's stinky boy!

She was a person who couldn't hold on, so she had to turn around and come back, her eyes misty and said: "The official family doesn't dare to look at the painting, it must be afraid that this person's painting is better than the official's." "This plan is exciting.

Zhao Ji smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Take the painting, I'll see who is smart." ”

Zhao Zixuan obediently went over, carefully placed the painting on the table, and gently unfolded it, and a vivid picture of an egret appeared in front of Zhao Ji's eyes.

Zhao Ji suddenly became focused, and muttered in a low voice, "It's really clever." So he took a closer look at the painting.

This egret picture is almost indistinguishable from the earlier Zhao Ji paintings, and what is even more rare is that it is a copy of a fake, but there is no trace of deliberate imitation. The style of painting is similar to that of Zhao Ji, with an ethereal and expressive temperament.

"Okay, okay, this person is interesting." Zhao Jile smiled and continued: "This person is very interesting and convincing. ”

Zhao Kai also came to take a look, and at this glance, he felt that this egret picture seemed to be more delicate than the last copy of the crane picture, and his face also showed admiration, and said: "This person seems to be an opponent on a par with his father." ”

Zhao Ji came to his senses, his eyes fell on the painting motionless, and he said: "It's interesting to be quite popular, I lost this competition, and I will make a picture of the past in a few days to see how he copes." ”

Zhao Zixuan said: "This person's painting skills are higher than those of the official family, you see, this egret is more expressive than the official family." ”

Zhao Kai said: "I think my father also has advantages, my father's layout is better than him, his layout is a little mid-range, but he still lacks a little familiarity." ”

Zhao Zixuan stared at him and said, "You deliberately slapped the official's ass!" This person's layout is no worse than that of the official family. ”

Zhao Kai couldn't say anything about her, so he just smiled.

However, Zhao Ji agreed with Zhao Zixing's words and said: "What Zixuan said is not wrong, he is copying, and the layout can only be imitated according to my paintings, and it is inevitable to have a medium distance." ”

Zhao Zixuan cheered: "That's it, I said that this person's painting is better than the official family." As he spoke, he carefully put away the painting and said, "This painting is mine, just for you to see, and I will take it back." ”

It's too stingy, Zhao Kai wanted to teach her a lesson, but there was no exit, but Zhao Ji just laughed, he couldn't grab a painting with a junior girl, although he wanted to collect this painting, but his demeanor still had to be maintained.

As he was talking, an attendant came over cautiously, still holding a book in his hand, and said, "Official, the results of the preliminary examination have come out." ”

Zhao Ji's mind was still on the painting, and he said casually: "How?" ”

The chamberlain said: "A total of one hundred and eight people were selected for excellence, including thirty-three Chinese eunuchs and seventy-five Taixue. ”

Zhao Ji frowned, and said with a little anger: "Guozijian is still so unlucky? What does that Tang Yan do for food? The Lu of the Eater, is this how he misleads people's children? ”

The chamberlain said: "Although the Guozi Prison is an excellent prisoner, the first and third class are occupied. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ji was interested, he vaguely remembered that the results of several exams last year were occupied by Taixue, by the way, it was that Cheng Hui, Zhao Ji had also summoned him and encouraged him!

How? Could it be that Cheng Hui's name has fallen to Sun Mountain this year?

"Who's the first one this time?"

The waiter said: "It's called Shen Ao, and it's a recent prisoner." ”

Shen Ao...... Zhao Zixing's eyes widened, wow, it turns out that this guy who writes sour poems and reads silver books actually won the championship! It's infuriating! His tail must have been lifted to the sky.

Zhao Kai's eyebrows were also raised, which was quite unexpected by him, and then he smiled, pretending not to care very much.

Zhao Ji had never heard of this person, a new prisoner, who had defeated so many talented people from Guozijian and Taixue, and his strength should not be underestimated.

"Got it, you go down." After all, it's just a preliminary exam, although he won the first place, Zhao Ji still doesn't take it to heart, but since Guozijian won the first place, it shows that this Tang Yan is not just perfunctory, and things can still be done.

The waiter didn't leave, and said expectantly: "Official, there is one more thing." ”

Zhao Ji frowned: "What's the matter?" He was anxious to think about the charm and delicacy of Fang Cai's painting, and he was already a little impatient.

The waiter said: "The official, the one named Shen Ao came to the note, saying that he heard that the official family was going to write an inscription for him, and he was overjoyed, and hereby put on a note of thanks, wishing my emperor long live...... Still...... A few other things were said. ”

"Anything else?" Zhao Ji moved his mind and said, "Take it." ”

It's a little bit close, come on.
