The next day, the Song family got up half an hour later than usual.

Looking at the red in the east, Grandma Song walked briskly to the kitchen and knocked her head at the same time, she had never gotten up so late, and she didn't know what was wrong last night, she slept so deeply.

"Grandma."

Song Wanyue, Gu Yi and Song Si walked into the courtyard early with the bought, and just saw Grandma Song in a hurry, Song Wanyue called her.

Grandma Song turned around, saw a few people carrying breakfast, and immediately turned around, "When did you get up, why didn't I even hear any movement." ”

"Grandma must be too tired from the journey and fall asleep." Song Si said.

Saying that, he walked up to Song Wanyue and wanted to take the breakfast in her hand, "Is it hot?" To grandma, don't get burned. ”

Song Wanyue gave her grandmother her right hand and grabbed her arm, "It's okay today, let's go buy gifts for the marriage." ”

Grandma Song had such a plan since the day she came, and nodded when she heard this, "Which ones are you optimistic about?" ”

In the past two days, Song Wanyue and Gu Yi took the Xu family out, just under the guise of going to make a family gift.

"It all feels pretty much the same, let's take a good look today."

The family had breakfast, leaving Song Shu at home, and the rest of the people went around in a carriage.

Nancheng is very prosperous, there are many shops of all kinds, a few people turned around for a day, picked up what they could put and bought a few.

On the second day, the temple test.

Song Si put on the crimson robe that Xu made for him, took the things to be used in the palace test, and Song Wanyue and Gu Yi sent him to the palace gate.

There were already students who came, and there was a long queue, and there was no one to speak, and there was silence in front of the huge palace gate.

All the carriages were parked far away from the palace gate, and the students got out of the carriages and went to line up alone, and their families were not allowed to go together.

"Big brother, come on!"

Song Wanyue made a cheering gesture.

Song Si smiled and touched her head, "You go back first, and come back later." ”

The palace examination is a day, which is held in the square in front of the Jinluan Palace, and there is a short break at noon, but you are not allowed to leave your examination seat, sit in place and eat the dry food you brought.

Song Wanyue nodded.

Song Si took his things to line up, and soon, the palace gate opened, and the students entered in an orderly manner.

In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials were there, and even Mr. Xu was invited.

Remembering his advanced age, the emperor specially gave him a seat.

The civil and military officials looked out halfway from their sides.

"I don't know which one this year's Huiyuan is?"

The article that Song Sihui tried had already been recited in the Ministry of Officials, and everyone who heard it praised it.

The emperor also wanted to know, beckoned, Huang Gonggong immediately stepped forward, after listening to the emperor's instructions, walked out of the Jinluan Palace, came to the square, and waited for the attendant to read out the exam questions, and the students unfolded the paper and began to make a fuss. Gonggong Huang walked and looked over one by one, and when he walked to Song Si, he saw his name, turned around and entered the hall to report.

The emperor's gaze fell on Song Si from afar.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he nodded with satisfaction when he saw him sitting.

Mr. Xu watched the emperor's every move, exchanged glances with Dingguo Gong, and also looked at Song Si at the same time.

Dressed in a crimson robe, he is very conspicuous among many students.

The more Dingguo Gong looked at it, the more satisfied he became, but Mr. Xu was a little worried, looking at the emperor's attitude just now, it was not just a pity. thought of what Song Wanyue once said to him-

He clenched his fists and coughed twice, "Ahem......"

The emperor's gaze that fell on Song Si was retracted, "The old gentleman is uncomfortable?" ”

The old gentleman got up and bowed, "Your Majesty, forgive me, somehow, my throat is a little dry." ”

"Help the old gentleman go to the side hall to drink tea."

"Thank you for your kindness."

Huang Gonggong personally stepped forward, carried him to the side hall - the place where the officials usually waited for the court, and personally poured him a cup of tea, and ordered the little eunuch on the side to serve him, and then returned to the Jinluan Palace.

After a while, the Duke of Dingguo also came and waved away the little eunuch who was waiting.

The old gentleman lowered his voice, "Can Ding Guogong do me a favor?" ”

"Sir, please."

The old gentleman told him about Zhang Huai's impostor, "I can't hide it, this is what my great-granddaughter told me, but I haven't seen it, and I don't know which student it is, can Ding Guogong help me with this?" ”

As soon as he said it, Ding Guogong heard that he was talking about Zhang Huai, even if the old gentleman didn't say it, he wanted to find out people today.

But except for those chamberlains, it is difficult for anyone to get close to these students, Ding Guogong was just about to call the little eunuch to come in, the door of the side hall was pushed open again, Qi Guogong walked in slowly, and greeted the old gentleman, "Mr. Xu." ”

The old gentleman wanted to stand up, but Qi Guogong hurriedly said, "The old gentleman can just sit down." ”

Mr. Xu didn't say anything polite to him, "Grandpa Guo, this is ......"

"Oh, maybe it's too salty to eat in the morning, come over and have some tea."

From beginning to end, he did not look at the Duke of Dingguo. Ding Guogong didn't pay attention to him, picked up the teacup directly, and drank the tea slowly.

Qi Guogong also sat down on the side, and immediately a little eunuch served tea, which he also held in his hand and drank it unhurriedly.

A cup of tea, as if it can't be drunk, after a quarter of an hour, there is still more than half of it, the old gentleman doesn't know the inside story, but Ding Guogong knows that Qi Guogong is eyeing him, and the purpose is to prevent him from pulling people out.

The old gentleman knew that the two had never dealt with each other, and he did not speak, and there was an eerie silence in the side hall. It wasn't until the head of the household came in that this weirdness was broken.

"Old gentleman."

Anyway, Wen Zhong has also been taught by the old gentleman for many years, plus Huo is now the equal wife of the big man, according to the generation, he is a generation shorter.

In fact, when he married his daughter Xu to Wen Zhong, in addition to Wen Zhong's true ability, it was also because of the relationship between Wen Zhong and the Xu family, otherwise even if he was a household secretary, his two grandsons would not have entered the Guozijian so easily.

Seeing him, the old gentleman thought of Wen Zhong and nodded lightly.

Hubu Shangshu noticed his coldness and was puzzled for a moment, but he didn't ask in front of Dingguo Gong and Qi Guogong, and sat down next to the old gentleman.

Until noon, Ding Guogong didn't find a chance to send someone to see it.

After eating a full meal at noon, he went to the palace early. He is a member of the ministry, and it is understandable to care about this palace test, but he didn't expect that after entering the palace gate, the Duke of Qi was already there, watching him go in, and looking at him obliquely.

Both of them are grandfathers of the country, and their daughters are both in the palace, and they are equal in status, so Dingguo Gong naturally couldn't make trouble, until the inner servant shouted that there were students to hand in the papers, and they didn't come up with a way.
