Su Wen had a strong smell of blood on his body, just like a beast that had just finished hunting, which made people's hearts palpitate and chill, so he didn't squeeze into the crowd, but just stayed outside the crowd and watched from a distance.

He watched the crowd in front of him, all living beings shouted in unison, he watched the stone door of the examination room open widely, the three examiners came out first, he watched a group of candidates pacing, some were happy and some were sad, and finally, he saw Chai Nan, Mu Xi, and Tang Ji.

Along the way, from time to time, there were voices of discussion on the strategies of the current theory, and some confident people were enlightening their frustrated classmates, telling them that they had not done well in the exam.

There are also people who are softly comparing the answers to the first poetry test, and then some people suddenly realize, and some people beat their chests.

But more people are silently thinking about the big event that happened in the previous field.

Su Wentian descended to the throne and glanced at the matter of tribute.

Mu Xi walked unhurried and came to Uncle Hua's side, bowing slightly.

Uncle Hua didn't ask Mu Xi if he did well in the exam, he just smiled and said, "Today, I specially invited the cook from Chunshan Building to cook fish at home and celebrate it." ”

Mu Xi didn't say anything, but said softly: "Su Wen has been promoted to Gongsheng in the examination." ”

Uncle Hua's smile paused slightly, and he was not too surprised, after all, talent falling from the sky is something that everyone can see, and the one who people speculate the most is also Su Wen.

Now it has been confirmed, and it lives up to expectations.

"Do you want to invite him into the mansion to congratulate?" Uncle Hua bowed down to ask Mu Xi's opinion.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xi shook her head very firmly: "No need, let's go." ”

A flash of surprise flashed in Uncle Hua's eyes. But he didn't say anything more, he followed behind Mu Xi. Soon it merged into the crowd, but he saw it clearly. Before leaving, Mu Xi couldn't help but cast a glance towards the place where Lin Huaju and the others were.

At the front of the crowd, Tang Ji walked up to Su Yu and Haoma in a hurry, and asked urgently, "What about Su Wen and Miss Ning?"

Of course, Miss Ning followed her teacher, and Su Wen went to see her off, and she should be back soon. Haoma replied.

However, Tang Ji found that Su Yu's face also had a touch of melancholy, and asked again, "What's wrong with Xiaoyu?"

Haoma turned his head and looked at the dark night in the distance. explained: "Su Wen came out much earlier than you, and it stands to reason that if he just saw off Miss Ning, it wouldn't take too long, he should have come back a long time ago." ”

Tang Ji suddenly realized, and couldn't help but comfort Su Yu: "Su Wen, you don't know, don't you know it, farewell, it is inevitable to sigh a few more words, such as reminiscing about the good times together." Looking forward to the future, and finally reluctantly for a while, this time will naturally take a little more, don't worry. It's going to be fine. ”

Of course, Tang Ji's confidence did not come from Su Wen himself, but from Liu Shishi.

Although he, like most of the candidates present, was the first time in his life to see that fluttering white skirt. But he knew who Ning Qingbing's teacher was, so he shouted at the moment when Ning Qingbing shouted. Tang Ji naturally also knew who was coming.

Regarding the confrontation between Liu Shishi and the state lord, Tang Ji saw it in his eyes. Shocked in his heart, he finally knew that the so-called first beauty of the country was not just a vase.

Su Wen is going to see Ning Qingbing off, so Liu Shishi must be present, with the dignified Hanlin as the guard, what can Su Wen do?

Therefore, Tang Ji is a hundred assured of Su Wen.

As if to divert Su Yu's attention, Tang Ji hurriedly said, "By the way, when you met Su Wen before, did he tell you that he had been promoted to Gongsheng?"

Haoma smiled silently, while Su Yu's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise.

Tang Ji successfully made Su Yu temporarily put aside his worries, so he continued as if striking while the iron was hot: "You should have seen that pillar of qi outside the examination room, the second document position that Su Wen opened this time is the book position!"

Speaking of this, Tang Ji seemed to be full of doubts, and said, "I just don't know, in the state examination list, Su Wen will be included in it?"

"That's right!" Tang Ji suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Haoma, and asked, "Who is the top of the first game?"

Haoma smiled mysteriously and said truthfully, "Su Wen." ”

"Huh?" Tang Ji was taken aback when he heard this, although he was also quite confident in Su Wen before the state exam, but even he never expected that Su Wen would be able to win the top spot in the first poetry test!

However, before Tang Ji could come to his senses, Haoma spoke again: "The second scene is Chai Nan. ”

"Oh......" Tang Ji responded, and then glared at the little eyes and exclaimed, "Who?"

"It's the Yan country man we met before. ”

Tang Ji shook his head like a rattle, and he didn't pay attention to Haoma's explanation, and said incoherently: "No, I mean, what kind of scene did you say? Who is Yan Guo? No, who is Chai Nan? What is the second ......?"

Tang Ji's words were inexplicable, but Haoma understood what Tang Ji meant, he nodded with a smile and reiterated: "In the second game, the top of the article test is Yanguo Chainan. ”

Don Ji was silent.

But soon, Tang Ji came back to his senses and pouted: "It doesn't matter, anyway, Su Wen has already become a tribute, and it doesn't make much sense to be at the top of the state exam." ”

Tang Ji's tone inevitably had the implication that he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour, but this statement was true.

As he spoke, Tang Ji couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chai Nan, who had just walked out of the examination room not far away.

Chai Nan is perhaps the least like the literati among all the people, he likes to wear linen short clothes rather than long shirts, he prefers to use his fists to solve problems rather than poetry, calligraphy and painting, but he is not a martial artist, but a literati who is a serious scholar.

In this way, he has some similarities with Sima Shuo, but in fact, the situation of the two is completely different.

Sima Shuo himself was obsessed with martial arts, but he conformed to the general trend of the prosperity of Wendao and had no choice but to turn to the Wendao. Cheng reads, but in his bones. But he is a warrior.

Chainan, on the other hand, is a true literati. Since he was a child, he has been familiar with the books of sages, read thousands of family texts, and know life and death, so that he knows that literati are not determined by the clothes they wear, let alone by the elegance in their words, and those who can recite poems against them cannot be called literati, real literati. It is a warrior who goes to the battlefield to slaughter barbarians and kill demons!

So he didn't like to wear a long shirt, but he was more accustomed to the texture of coarse linen, or rather, he thought it would be more comfortable.

Since he was a child, he didn't like poetry, calligraphy and painting, but in order to be able to kill all the demons and barbarians after going to the battlefield in the future, he began to desperately learn a way that he could learn, and if he could drive the aliens out of human territory, he was willing to pursue the holy way of literature at any cost.

At this time, Chai Nan also heard the name of the top of the first two games from the mouths of others, no doubt. The result was surprising and shocking, but Chai Nan's face showed indifference.

Such a result, very good.

Su Wen and he each won the top of the list, but Su Wen was in the third game. If you hand in the exam paper early without answering the exam paper, you will completely lose the opportunity to compete for the final top spot, since this is the case. Then your chances of winning the first place are naturally much greater.

If you can get the top spot in the final state exam. Then, you will be closer to your goal.

So good.

At this time, the three state exams have been completed. The examiner and all the candidates had already walked out of the examination room, but the people still did not leave, as if they were waiting for something.

The three state exams, after each of them, the name of the top of the list will be announced on the spot, the test of poetry is the same, the test of articles is also the same, so the test of the current theory, of course, will not be an exception.

It's just that the judging criteria for this last game are really a bit complicated, neither any Wenbao can do it for you, nor can you judge it simply by relying on the level of talent, and even the evaluation is handed over to the state capitals of the ten countries to cross, so it takes a while for the last name to get the result.

However, this still could not stop the enthusiasm of the ordinary people, who gathered outside the examination room and refused to disperse for a long time, such a wait will not be boring and boring, because the grand event of literati and artists has only just begun.

Because of the triennial state examination, the literati of the entire Huizhou Mansion gathered together, such an opportunity is naturally rare, so everyone will naturally not let go of this great exchange opportunity.

The so-called exchange may be the collision of ideas and ideas, or the exchange of experience and information, but the most direct is the circulation of goods.

It is also known as the city of literature.

There were official markets and auction gatherings by smugglers, but the markets run by scholars from all over the state capital were more laid-back, with their own rules, and the prices of the goods sold were completely agreed upon by the buyers and sellers, and the stall owners did not have to pay taxes.

The so-called booth is simpler, as long as those candidates who have already taken the state exam, casually take out a piece of cloth outside the venue and spread it on the ground, and then display the items they have prepared for sale or exchange, it is done, and then, just wait for the customers to come.

Anything can appear in the literary market, such as all kinds of books that can increase talent, copying calligraphy and paintings, tea herbs and elixirs, and if you are lucky, you will also encounter things such as demon beast cubs and low-level Wenbao.

However, most of the people who came to the state examination this time are just scholars, and even if they can come up with something to sell, their value is very limited, just for fun.

Mu Xi obviously understood this, so she didn't stay in the venue at all, and left here with Uncle Hua.

For her, the name of the top of the list in a single game does not make much sense, and the most important thing is that the official list will be released two days later, so why waste time here?

Soon after Mu Xi left, Chai Nan also quietly disappeared, when he came, he came with a group of Yan State candidates, but now he left alone, and no one knew where he went.

On the contrary, it was Tang Ji who took Su Yu for a walk with great interest, on the one hand, he distracted the little girl and did not worry about Su Wen, and on the other hand, he was also very curious about it.

If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't have anything to handle, I'm afraid Tang Ji would have pulled Su Yu and Haoma and become one of the many vendors.

It's just that while his interest is high, Tang Ji can't help but secretly doubt in his heart, and keeps glancing at Haoma, as if asking: "It's been so long, where did that guy Su Wen die?" (To be continued......
