Chapter 231: Exam
When Lu Zhenyan arrived at home, he soaked in the study until late at night, and Xiao Li saw that his young master had forgotten the hour, so he came to Lu Zhenyan's study with a supper.
"Young master, it's time now." Xiao Li knocked on the door of the study, walked in, and put the supper on the table beside him.
"Got it." Lu Zhenyan put down the book in his hand and rubbed his eyes, unconsciously it has come to this hour, and he really has to rest well, otherwise it will not be good to be low in energy tomorrow.
Lu Zhenyan ate a few bites of something casually, then went back to the room to wash and sleep.
The next day, Lu Zhenyan arrived at the door of Kyoto College, and sure enough, there were many people who knew each other, and some people were walking briskly inside, Lu Zhenyan looked left and right, and did not see Zhan Qiyu, so he could only go in first.
After the dean's study came out yesterday, the scholar had already taken him to recognize the way, so Lu Zhenyan easily found the way, and after entering the house, he found a place at random and did it.
The seats of this Kyoto Academy are the same as those in Beicheng, and it is for the convenience of the test, and Zhan Qiyu said in a letter before that the Kyoto Academy is two people sitting together.
Because the people next to him didn't know each other, Lu Zhenyan didn't talk to anyone, just quietly listened to the discussion of the people around him, and after listening for a while, he saw Zhan Qiyu walk in and sit on a seat next to him.
"Brother Lu doesn't need to be nervous, this test is also what we usually see, and it is not a big difference." When Zhan Qiyu came in, he saw Lu Zhenyan sitting quietly alone, so he spoke, and then introduced Lu Zhenyan to the people in the seats not far away, and sure enough, as Lu Zhenyan expected, the people present were basically officials, and a few people were too good to be recruited by Kyoto College. After listening, Lu Zhenyan became even more curious about Zhan Qiyu's identity.
"Brother Zhan, how are you preparing this time, my father has locked me in the study every day to study these days, and I am about to vomit. This is..."A man in a royal blue robe finished talking to the person next to him, and when he saw Zhan Qiyu coming, he walked over, and when he saw that he was talking to an unfamiliar face, he asked.
"This is my classmate in Xicheng, Lu Zhenyan. This is the son of General Sun, Sun Hengming. Zhan Qiyu introduced the two of them to each other.
"It turns out that you are the classmate who took the exam for Brother Zhan, and you have admired your name for a long time." When the man heard Lu Zhenyan's name, he looked impressed.
"I smiled," Lu Zhenyan also looked at the man in front of him, just now Lu Zhenyan introduced himself, although Sun Jingjun is a military general, he wants this second son to learn literature, and the name is also Wen Crepe, but this person can't learn, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, every time General Sun is half angry.
While the three of them were talking, the master walked in through the door, and when everyone saw it, they quickly stopped communicating and returned to their seats.
"Everyone here is going to participate in the imperial examination, the importance of which I don't need to say, the first day of school today, is the day of the unified test, I hope you can answer well." The master stood in front and said the questions of this test, and all the students did not delay and grinded their answers.
It's just that the test is naturally not like the imperial examination, where everyone stays in a small room for three days, and only gives everyone three hours, and when the time is up, the answer sheet is collected.
After the first day of testing, everyone will go back, and the next day will start the formal class, and everyone's results will be posted in the courtyard after five days.
After a few days of calm and calm like this, Lu Zhenyan's classmate is still Zhan Qiyu, and he is also familiar with many others, except for a few people who don't look down on Lu Zhenyan's identity, others are more friendly.
Lu Zhenyan also knew Zhan Qiyu's identity, and he was not too surprised, and he guessed some of it.
Zhan Qiyu also told Lu Zhenyan about his experience, his mother died of dystocia when he was born, and he was frail and sick since he was a child, and he found many people to see it to no avail, knowing that one day a fortune teller came to the door of the Hou Mansion, and bluntly said that Zhan Qiyu's life was not long, and the only way to solve it was to stay away from home, so he was sent to Xicheng.
When Zhan Qiyu said that he also had a stepmother, he simply said a few words, Lu Zhenyan could also hear Zhan Qiyu's sadness over the years, his own parents at home didn't treat him well, and he regarded himself as a tool from beginning to end.
Although Lu Zhenyan used to be a president, he had also watched a lot of TV series, and he had seen a lot of things in his family, so he made up a lot of pictures in his brain.
Finally came to the day when everyone's results came out, Lu Zhenyan and Zhan Qiyu came early, but they were still a step late, and many students were already looking for their grades in the academy.
"Who is this Lu Zhenyan, I haven't heard of it before, is it new this year?"
"yes, I've never seen this name in previous years, so I don't remember it at all." The two of them heard their names from the mouths of the students passing by after reading the results, so they paid more attention.
"Presumably Brother Lu must be on the list this time, I said that with Brother Lu's talents, it should be the top three." Zhan Qiyu listened to the words of the person next to him and looked at Lu Zhenyan beside him, with a smile in his eyes.
"Brother Zhan has a good reputation, Kyoto Academy is full of talents, how can I be on the list so easily." Lu Zhenyan also wanted to see how many people he ranked, but there were too many people, and he really couldn't get in.
"Brother Lu is too modest, look at your dark circles, if it weren't for the candle fire in your house going out every hour, I would still think that Brother Lu doesn't sleep every day.
The dormitory of Kyoto College is naturally worthy of his reputation, each small courtyard will be divided into two students, and there are also two rooms in the small courtyard for people to rest separately, although the courtyard is small but it is complete, it is very convenient, Lu Zhenyan and Zhan Qiyu are in the same courtyard.
The two of them couldn't get in, so they could only gossip on the side, Sun Hengming came over directly and patted Lu Zhenyan on the shoulder, and almost made Lu Zhenyan fly out with his strength, Zhan Qiyu saw this and quickly helped Lu Zhenyan.
"I'm sorry Brother Lu, I didn't have a good strength, I saw Brother Lu in the third place, and when I saw that you were still talking here, I hurried over to tell you." Sun Hengming said a word, touched his head, Lu Zhenyan glanced at Sun Mingheng, and didn't say anything, this guy has great strength, and now his shoulder is still hurting, and he was immediately diverted by Sun Hengming's words.
