Early in the morning, the sun is shining.

Early in the morning, in the Chaoyang Seminary, there are crowds of people like the sea, and the river is endless.

The annual and long-awaited exhibition contest is finally here.

Whether it is those high-ranking officials and nobles, or those rich families, they all came with their families and subordinates with smiles on their faces.

In the Xiuwu Academy, except for some managers who were really inseparable, the first- and second-year students, including the dean and other high-level officials, all rushed over early.

In Xiangzhou City, as long as there are some famous figures, almost all of them have received invitations to the seminary.

The exhibition contest is to select young elites with outstanding talents and visible futures, but focus on cultivating them, so as to win glory for Xiangzhou City and the entire Xia Kingdom in the future.

The competition has selected several judges with the most identity and strength, as long as they can achieve a good ranking in this competition, then the future future, if nothing else, is definitely a bright road.

At present, the country is suffering from internal and external troubles, and is in urgent need of talents.

Every city, every county, is being cultivated in large quantities, and as long as it can enter the sight of the imperial court, it will completely change its fate.

Therefore, for today's exhibition competition, almost everyone in Xiangzhou City has high hopes, hoping that there will be a few geniuses who will shine in their hometown.

And those bureaucrats or families with their families are full of expectations, and the men and women who can make a name for themselves in the exhibition contest will be the objects they strive to recruit.

With their children, they naturally need a daughter-in-law or son-in-law with a bright future, so their mood at the moment is both excited and apprehensive.

Ouyang Zheng, the abbot of the seminary, dressed in a neat white shirt with a smile on his face, personally led the senior management of the academy to greet guests at the door.

Today's day is extraordinary.

Although the people invited are all celebrities from Xiangzhou City, some people from other places, even from the capital, may just pass by and come to see the excitement.

It was not unheard of before that such a thing had happened, so he was extremely careful.

Around the academy, the city lord Wu Yiliu personally ordered to send elite soldiers to guard it, always on guard, and not let go of any possible accidents.

The huge playground of the academy was filled with people one after another, and many people did not have seats, so they stood with their hands behind their backs, without the slightest dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Those who can sit down, without exception, are all figures with heads and faces in Xiangzhou City, and they naturally don't care.

In the middle of the playground, at some point, a magnificent platform has been erected, and a simple house full of boxes has been erected, and the outside is draped with a red curtain for the students who participate in the competition.

Tang Jingtian took his wife and several subordinates, accompanied by Ouyang Zheng, and sat in the front row of the seat specially reserved for him.

Several old acquaintances on the seat next to him, seeing him coming, hurriedly stood up and took a few steps forward to greet him, with respect on their faces, and sat down behind him.

"Sir, I'm just sitting here and waiting, you don't have to accompany me, Wu Yiliu, that guy doesn't know what he's rubbing into, the game is about to start and hasn't come yet, you always send someone to urge." ”

After Tang Jingtian sat down, he glanced at the vacant seat next to him and said to Ouyang Zhengdao.

Ouyang Zheng is an old man who has passed the age of sixties, and his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the literary phase, and he has extremely high honors in the seminary and even in the entire Xiangzhou City.

He has led countless students, many of whom are now in important positions, and even a few of them are working in the capital, who are decent people, and have been conscientious and dedicated to the education of Xiangzhou City for decades, and have contributed their life's work.

Therefore, whether it is a high-ranking official or an ordinary person in the city, they all respect it in their hearts and are respectful and courteous.

Even officials like Tang Jingtian and the city lord Wu Yiliu, who held great power, were respectful to them and did not dare to be rude.

Ouyang Zheng had gray hair, a medium stature, and although his face was wrinkled, his eyes were bright and energetic.

This old man exudes a deep and wise literati atmosphere, and his gestures make people admire, and unconsciously, his mind is calm.

At this time, he listened to Tang Jingtian's words, twisted his beard, smiled slightly, and said, "Lord Tang, wait a while, City Lord Wu is personally inspecting the guards outside, and he will come over soon." ”

Tang Jingtian arched his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. is busy, you don't need to be polite to Sedum." ”

Ouyang Zheng nodded, and was just about to turn around and leave, when he saw Lei Kun with a group of people, walking towards here proudly.

When he arrived in front of him, Lei Kunfang arched his hand, smiled hypocritically, and said, "Mr. Ouyang, I haven't seen you for a few months, how are you doing lately?"

After that, he glanced at Tang Jingtian, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "It turns out that Inspector Tang has also arrived, and it is disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"Lord Lei, please sit here, the old man is going to greet the city lord, so I won't accompany you. ”

Ouyang Zheng smiled faintly, his attitude was a little indifferent, and he turned to leave.

"Oh, it should, it should. ”

A flash of annoyance flashed in Lei Kun's eyes, but he quickly covered it up and sat down in the seat next to him.

Many officials greeted him with a hint of flattery on their faces.

Tang Jingtian glanced at him, didn't reply, thought about it, and said to a middle-aged man behind him: "No sword, go and call Yu'er over." ”

The middle-aged man said yes and left quickly.

"Hehe, Inspector Tang called your daughter here to choose a son-in-law, right? But how did your subordinates hear that your daughter has been privately married to a young man?"

Lei Kun was talking to those officials, but he was always paying attention to this, and after hearing Tang Jingtian's words, he immediately pretended to be puzzled.

"Do you need General Lei to intervene in my family's affairs?"

Tang Jingtian glanced at him and said lightly.

"Hehe, don't get me wrong, don't your subordinates care about you?"

Lei Kun smiled, and deliberately raised his voice: "I heard that Gui Qianjin made a marriage in the academy in private, and the object seems to be a poor boy who has no father, no mother, and no house, and even the clothes on his body are worn in tatters. Hey, your Lei family is also a prominent family, why is it a pity that your daughter is so willing to fall. ”

Tang Jingtian was not annoyed, with an obvious sneer on his face, and said: "**, when you encounter a storm, you will turn into a dragon, I don't know if General Lei still remembers this poem?"

Lei Kun smiled, his eyes flashed with fierce light, and then he endured it, sneered, and said: "It turns out that Inspector Tang knows everything, but you really think that with that kid's family background and strength, you can become a dragon, it's ridiculous." I advise Inspector Tang to hurry up and retire this family business, so as not to be humiliated by the time you get it, but it is too late to regret it. ”

Speaking of this, he waved behind him, and said with a smug face: "Inspector Tang, look at my precious daughter, although she is not as good-looking as your daughter, but I brought her here today to choose the best young genius for her." The first place in the exhibition competition, that is my Lei Kun's son-in-law, no one wants to rob me! Hehe, of course, if Inspector Tang regrets it and doesn't want that poor and humble boy, his subordinates can endure the pain and give the first place genius to you, who made you a person that I respect Lei. ”

Lei Kun looked at Tang Jingtian with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of mockery.

Tang Jingtian glanced at him contemptuously and said, "You look up to others, but people don't necessarily look up to you." General Lei, it's better to get carried away and shoot yourself in the foot. ”

"Hehe, there's no need for Inspector Tang to worry about. With my Lei Kun's ability, this Xiangzhou City has not dared to disobey my young man, even if he is the first place in the exhibition competition, I still have a way to make him come over and kowtow to me and pour tea, and call me father-in-law, you say yes, baby daughter?"

Lei Kun sneered, his face full of confidence.

The girl standing behind him frowned slightly, looked at the room in the middle of the playground, and said secretly: He is the one who hopes to get the first place, otherwise I will ...... Yang Ye, you have to come on.
