"Erlang, do you really think that poem is really a silent and clever hand-to-hand coincidence?"

After the luncheon, Cheng Biting Jin and his son left.

Empress Eldest Sun spoke.

"Guanyin, Chu Mo naturally doesn't have such talent, Erlang thinks that it must be done by Gen'er."

"Gen'er and Chu Mo are good friends, he must have written poems to give to Chu Mo, and he didn't let Chu Mo reveal that he wrote them."

"We are adults, how can we embarrass a child again."

"Guanyin, you didn't see it, everywhere Mo's face was green."

When Empress Eldest Sun heard this, she smiled happily.

"Erlang, the concubine has long found out that something is wrong with Chu Mo, and when the song sounded, Chu Mo rubbed his hands nervously."

"Maybe this kid used a poem in exchange for a spring supper in Pingkangfang, right?"

Empress Eldest Sun's words made Li Shimin laugh.

Li Shimin also guessed this.

Perhaps, it is really possible.

Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"Young people, that's normal."

"However, this poem makes Erlang full of confidence in Gen'er's road to the imperial examination."

Li Shimin's words made the eldest grandson empress smile.

"Erlang, speaking of the imperial examination, there are not many days left, right?"

"Well, there are still ten days to go, and the exam will start in Shangshu Province."

"The provincial provincial exams have long been over, and the outstanding candidates have begun to be sent to Chang'an."

………

"Young Master, Master Kong, let you take the time to go over."

After Zhao Si came back from the restaurant, he brought a message to Li Gen.

"Zhao Si, prepare the carriage, let's go now."

Zhao Si agreed, and quickly set up the carriage.

Li Gen boarded the carriage, and the four dogs jumped directly onto the carriage.

"Give it all to me, and wait at home."

Li Gen scolded with a straight face!

Although the four of them were reluctant, they had to jump out of the carriage aggrievedly.

As they watched the carriage go away, they barked wildly at the distance.

As if to say, master, you should go home early!

The carriage stopped at the gate of the country.

Zhao Si is already very familiar with the envoys guarding the door.

After all, he has to come here every day to deliver food to Master Kong.

The two of them went straight to Kong Yingda's room unimpeded.

"Senior Li Gen, I've seen Master Kong!"

Li Gen pushed the door in, and Zhao Si stayed outside the door.

"Little friend, come quickly, come and sit down next to the old man."

Kong Yingda's face was red, smiling and beckoning.

"The master looks so good!"

After Li Gen sat down, he said with a smile.

"That's not the blessing of Xiaoyou, the hospitality of the old man with good wine and good food every day."

"Xiaoyou, I called you here today, because on the first day of the fifth month, the imperial examination is about to begin, and I don't know how Xiaoyou is preparing?"

"Master, the juniors feel that they are almost there, just waiting for the imperial examination to start!"

After listening to Li Gen's words, Kong Yingda nodded with satisfaction.

"Xiaoyou is so confident, and the old man is also looking forward to what kind of results you will get in the exam."

"Take these things back, the old man really doesn't dare to take them in."

Kong Yingda carefully took out a pair of glass cups and six glass balls from the drawer.

"Master, it's all a little bit of the junior's heart, you just accept it, and use this glass cup to make tea and drink it in the future, and it looks like you're in a happy mood!"

After listening to Li Gen's words, Kong Yingda said.

"Little friend, you can't do it, you can't do it. The old man only heard yesterday that a pair of glass cups costs thousands of taels of gold, and this glass ball is sold for a sky-high price of 20,000 taels of gold. ”

"The old man can't sleep all night, such a valuable thing makes it difficult for the old man to sleep."

Kong Yingda really couldn't sleep.

When he learned the price of these glasses, he was stunned for nearly a quarter of an hour.

"Master, to be honest, these objects, in fact, there is nothing to make the master sleep, but several materials are fused together, and the materials are also ordinary things."

"The younger generation likes to tinker with these objects on weekdays, but I never thought that they would make these objects."

"As for the sky-high price? The younger generation didn't expect that it would be sold at that price. However, doing business, pay attention to one by one, willing to fight and one willing to suffer, since the buyer is willing to pay a high price, I can't do without? ”

"Master, the younger generation gave this object to the master, that is to thank the master for his help to the younger generation, in the eyes of the younger generation, the books and examination papers sent by the master are ten thousand times more valuable than these glasses."

"If the master still insists on returning to the juniors, then the juniors will have trouble sleeping and eating after they go back."

"Hey, you kid, it's really hard for the old man, since that's the case, the old man accepted it."

The two sat opposite each other and chatted for a long time.

Before leaving, Li Gen said.

"Master, if you have free time, you can go to the junior manor as a guest, the younger grandfather now lives in the manor, he is the same age as the master, but he is not very knowledgeable."

"Good!"

Kong Yingda happily agreed.

However, when he heard about Li Gen, he changed his grandfather's name Li Yuan to Li Liu.

Kong Yingda understands who lives in the manor!

Li Gen said goodbye to Kong Yingda and took Zhao Si to leave Guozijian.

After returning to the manor, Li Gen began to review the previous imperial examination papers.

In seven days.

Li Gen did not leave the manor.

That learning momentum made Li Yuan feel distressed when he saw it.

He wanted to tell Li Gen so much.

Eldest grandson, you don't have to work so hard, even if you don't pass the imperial examination, you are also a dragon and phoenix among people!

However, thinking of Li Shimin's advice, Li Yuan couldn't say anything after all.

The first day of the fifth month.

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he held the imperial examination for the first time.

Finally came to the final stage.

All students who have passed the state and provincial exams.

Gather in Chang'an City!

Because of Kong Yingda's care, Li Gen directly passed the assessment of Guozijian, and thus stepped into the Jinshi Department and the imperial examination in Shangshu Province.

For this imperial examination.

Li Shimin attaches great importance to it.

After all, this was his first imperial examination after ascending the throne.

Li Shimin, who is thirsty for talent, hopes that there will be more, younger, and more outstanding talents who can become future court officials.

In order to reflect fairness and justice, put an end to favoritism.

Li Shimin selected and sent officials he trusted to inspect the examination room.

Ten people who marked the examination papers.

is Li Shimin, the descendant of the former Qin Palace.

The only exception is Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng, who dared to speak out, was appointed as one of the ten examiners for grading.

………

"Eldest grandson, take the exam well, don't be nervous, grandpa heard that some people are full of money on weekdays, and their brains are full of mud as soon as they enter the examination room."

At the gate of the manor, Li Yuan held Li Gen's hand and kept admonishing.

"Grandpa, don't worry, just wait for my good news at home!"

Da-da, da-da-da.

Six horses, driving side by side.

Li Gen raised his eyes and looked, it was Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo and the six of them.

A bright smile appeared on Li Gen's face.

It's not bad, these sworn brothers also know that today is the day when he, the seventh brother, will participate in the imperial examination.
