Chapter 154: Confession
After the spring list, Luo Wenqian had no leisure, he went out with Tao Lao for the past two days, and came back with the smell of wine, fortunately, this person is drunk and does not speak silently, but that is to treat outsiders, and to treat Chen Xiuyan is greasy, and he can't leave for a moment.
On March 15, the palace test, Luo Wenqian walked in the first place of the crowd, and the one standing behind him was Ning Youjin, the entrance to the palace test was arranged according to the results of the examination, and when he entered the hall, no one looked up at the dragon chair sitting on the dragon chair, but knelt on the ground with a loud voice and shouted "Long live".
The exam is all about quietness, waiting for the candidates to sit down and answer the questions, no one in the hall made a sound, only the one on the dragon chair walked down and stayed next to a few candidates.
The first one to watch was of course Luo Wenqian, who won the Zhonghuiyuan, and the emperor didn't expect that the first person who took the exam was a young man who was so young and had a good appearance; The second person in the exam is even younger, only sixteen, I heard that they are all from Yijiang County, and it is already very remarkable that there is a capable person in this county, but I didn't expect to have two at once.
Thinking that Luo Wenqian is Tao Taifu's apprentice, he can't say that he can't take the first test, but he is a teacher who worships after the township test, so he can only say that he has a solid foundation; The emperor also stayed by Ning Youjin's side for a long time, not only was he a child of Aiqing Ning Shilang's family, but although he was placed in his ancestral hometown and did not come to the capital to study, he was particularly outstanding, and he was a pillar in the future.
It always makes sense to be among the best, the emperor stood beside the two of them, their expressions did not change, the hand holding the pen did not tremble, and the handwriting was excellent, the emperor was very happy, because there was hope for the future of the country.
This year, many children of the scholar clan also participated in the imperial examination, and many of them were selected, whether the glory of the family can continue requires future generations of talents, and the family under his governance has such ability, which is also his ability to be the emperor.
The palace examination time is a full day, and it ends in the afternoon, and after the end, under the guidance of the supervisor, the candidates go out of the palace one after another, and the triennial palace examination is over, and the most important thing is to pass the ceremony.
"Ziqing, how did you do in the exam?" Yan An stretched out his hand and put his hand on Luo Wenqian's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"Where's Brother Huaiyuan?" Luo Wenqian asked rhetorically.
"You're a man who never loses his words." Yan An smiled and groaned, "I really didn't expect you to be Taifu Tao's apprentice, and you kept it really tight before." ”
"The master said, don't go outside and lose his face if the exam results don't come out." Luo Wenqian shook the pot effortlessly.
Yan An was a little surprised, listening to Luo Wenqian's ridiculous tone, it could be seen that the relationship between the master and apprentice was extraordinary.
"Big brother, you always associate with these people, and you don't have to surrender your identity." Yan Ping passed by Yan An and Luo Wenqian and mocked in a low voice, no matter how good the mud legs are in the exam, there is no future in the future promotion, even if you want to expand your network, you shouldn't look for this, what about Huiyuan, which year's Huiyuan is not a poor background, the emperor wants to inspire people, but how can the children of the scholar family come smoothly in the last career of those poor families.
"Tao Qishao, how did you do in the palace exam?" When Yan Ping saw Tao Qianze from the Zhenguo Mansion who came up, he immediately changed his smile and said with a little flattery.
Yan An can't bear to look directly at this younger brother's stupidity, he doesn't have the arrogance of a scholar, he is full of advantages and disadvantages, and he has the face of climbing power and wealth.
Tao Qianze nodded towards Yan Ping, his expression was as indifferent as ever, but after seeing Luo Wenqian in front of him, Tao Qianze smiled slightly, "Ziqing." ”
"Brother Zixing." Luo Wenqian smiled and returned the salute.
"I'll see you at my uncle's house tonight, I have to go first." Tao Qianze patted Luo Wenqian's shoulder, smiled and walked away.
Tonight Tao Lao took Luo Wenqian, Chen Xiuyan and Wang Yajie to recognize relatives with the people of Zhenguo Mansion, since his grandfather went Tao Lao almost did not come to the door, only during the New Year and the holidays they will go to Taifu Mansion to visit, it is rare to receive Tao Lao personally under the post, inviting the whole family of Zhenguo Mansion to Taifu Mansion, the purpose is to introduce apprentices to the family to know.
Tonight came not only Zhenguo Mansion, but also Zheng Guogong's Mansion, the relationship with Tao Lao is all close relatives, Tao Lao's apprentice is equivalent to a close relative, to be honest, Tao Lao is not very emotional, can be taken care of by him like this, the two mansions are a little complicated.
That night, Chen Xiuyan changed into luxurious clothes, a gown and skirt made of Song Jin, and the upper skirt was still sandwiched with thin cotton, although it was already March, the weather was still cold.
Luo Wenqian's robe is also made by Song Jin, with a robe added to the outside, the whole person is full of luxurious temperament, Chen Xiuyan stepped forward to smooth his collar, "People rely on clothes, so look at my husband is not worse than the children of those big families." ”
"Lady, why not." Luo Wenqian stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Chen Xiuyan's slender waist, lowered his head and pecked her lightly on the forehead, "Old Tao takes such care of us, I am a little weak-hearted. ”
Luo Wenqian rarely showed a blank look, and he was obviously extremely confident in himself during the exam.
"Think he's too nice to us, don't you?" Chen Xiuyan herself feels this way.
"Hmm." Luo Wenqian nodded, "He doesn't need anything for his position at all, the only thing I can think of is that he doesn't have his own descendants, we just happened to cast his eyes and treat us as family." ”
"Then we also treat him as a family member, I have always done this, don't you too, only your own relatives will tell the truth without scruples and will advise." Chen Xiuyan said bluntly.
Luo Wenqian smiled when he heard this, and hugged Chen Xiuyan directly into his arms, "I have an inexplicable sense of closeness to him, but I also have a trace of worry, I am afraid of failing him, he is so successful, I just started, and now it is still smooth sailing, but if I really enter the official career, I will definitely encounter difficulties, which will highlight my stupidity." ”
"And he's so old." Luo Wenqian said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, with me, I will recuperate Tao Lao's body and bones, and to be honest, Tao Lao's body and bones are much healthier than those of his peers, don't worry so much." Chen Xiuyan said with relief.
"Elder Tao will let us recognize our relatives, and they are also paving the way for us."
"Who's to say it isn't." Chen Xiuyan sighed with emotion, obviously he was a stranger, but he didn't expect to become a relative-like existence, and this kind of opportunity is rare.
Wang Yajie is lively and restrained, he adheres to the principle of following closely behind Luo Wenqian, after all, he is not in high school this time, so he has to keep a low profile, but he can't be like a stuffy gourd, losing the face of the master.
Two days ago, he followed Tao Lao and Luo Wenqian out to see, and his heart had been trained to a certain extent and could be handled properly.
said that it was a recognition of relatives, that is, to introduce each other, give a meeting gift, and then discuss and talk to each other among peers, seeing Tao Qianze and Luo Wenqian chatting speculatively, Tao Lao was a little satisfied.
Zheng Guogong's Mansion did not have anyone to participate in the Spring Festival this year, but there was a big horse Yuan Chongming, and he was also very friendly to Luo Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan.
