Young white horse drunk in spring breeze

Chapter 77
three days later.

The first exam of the school exam has finally begun.

Although it was a major exam in the school, the place for the first exam was chosen in a very special place - Qianjin Terrace, the number one gambling house in Tianqi City.

The owner of Qianjin Terrace, Uncle Tu, is sitting on the high platform at the moment. He is so bloated that he almost covers the entire chair when he sits down. It is early winter and the weather is slightly cold, but he is so hot Khan, the concubines on both sides kept waving fans for him, and he himself quickly waved the fan in his hand: "Mr. Came to my casino."

Beside him was a chariot, with gauze hanging down, covering the face of Mr. Liu Yue, who said lightly: "The so-called exam is no different from gambling."

"Oh? But I heard the details." Uncle Tu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Mr. Liu Yue didn't speak, but the little boy standing beside the chariot spoke first: "Because a person has studied hard for ten years, but the exam is only for one moment. This moment may be the best moment in his life, or it may be that he is not performing well. The moment of no return. This is the same as gambling, no matter how many skills you have, only the moment you get on the gambling table, the outcome has just begun. And that outcome, no one can predict."

"Unless cheating." Uncle Tu chuckled.

"Is there anyone who can make a fortune in Qianjintai?" The boy imitated the adult's tone and asked.

Uncle Tu waved his fan triumphantly: "No."

The boy smiled, and said triumphantly, "That's why we are taking the big test here today."

Uncle Tu raised his eyebrows: "Young Master Liu Yue is really unusual."

"Where is the second master?" The boy looked around, "Isn't he the one who promised to lend us the Qianjin Terrace?"

"He went to listen to the music. He has no interest in the school exam. He agreed to you at the beginning because Mr. Liu Yue had a remnant score to exchange. But this time he did a good job. He can provide a venue for the school exam. I, Qian Jintai, will count it as this." It's worth losing tens of thousands of silver in one day." Uncle Tu said meaningfully.

Mr. Liu Yue spoke again: "The loss of Uncle Tu, the people from the school will send it tomorrow."

"Happy, bright!" Uncle Tu laughed loudly.

Outside Qianjin Terrace, it seems that most of Tianqi City has come to watch, crowding the outside.The city defense battalion dispatched three teams to come, and barely opened a road for those who really took the big exam to enter.

"That's the eldest son of He Junhou's mansion!"

"The third son of the Ministry of Rites?"

"The eldest son of General Luocheng!"

"The young head of the Xiao family in Lingnan?"

"..."

Just because of the identities of these people taking the exam, it is worth asking the city defense battalion to send out ten more squads, but Mr. Liu Yue only needs three, and the city defense battalion dare not give more, because they know that the real guard troops are hidden in those spectators. Among the crowd, they were people from the school, the real guards who guarded the safety of this big exam.

"Give way!" Baili Dongjun shouted angrily, and rode over on Gaefeng Horse, looking at the crowded crowd in front of him, quite annoyed.

"Crazy! Here are people from the city defense battalion. Do you want to squat in prison without taking the exam?" Lei Mengsha, who finally caught up, stepped on the horse's back and grabbed Baili Dongjun with the other. collar, and threw him out.Baili Dongjun just soared into the air, leaped over the crowd of onlookers, and fell to the ground in full view.

"Brother, we don't need to do this big gift when we meet for the first time, right?" A voice with a bit of a smile sounded, and Baili Dongjun got up from the ground, and saw the man standing in front of him. Robe, with a dark face and a dusty look, Baili Dongjun got up and asked, "Are you also here to take the big exam?"

"Under Ye Dingzhi, he is indeed here to take the big exam." The man laughed.

Baili Dongjun stretched out the finger of his right hand, spit on it, then stretched it across Ye Dingzhi's face, the skin under the dust was as white and tender as jade, he blew on the dust on his hand, and smiled Laughing: "Only you, you still have the nerve to make fun of me?"

On the tea house facing the street, a roller blind was drawn down.

"His Royal Highness Qing, I should have brought him to see you first, but time was running out, so he rushed to the examination room directly." Inside the rolling curtain, an old man lowered his head and said to the young prince sitting there.

King Qing picked up the teacup and blew lightly: "Oh, it's okay if you don't see me, but after all, it's your first appearance in Tianqi City, so can't you wash your face?"

Ye Dingzhi touched his face and smiled: "Then why not go in together, what's your name?"

"Even I don't know, my name is Baili Dongjun." Baili Dongjun turned and walked forward, "Look at them, they all know me."

"I can see it, but the eyes don't seem to be particularly... friendly." Ye Dingzhi raised his eyebrows.

"That's because they are jealous of me." Baili Dongjun handed the test card in his hand to the academy teacher outside the door, and then walked into Qianjin Terrace.

Following his example, Ye Dingzhi handed the test card to the college for teaching, and reported his name: "Ye Dingzhi."

Inside Qianjin Terrace, this year's [-] examinees seemed to have basically arrived, standing neatly in front of his examination table.This initial test gave each candidate a surprisingly large space, plus some invigilators from the college, and the huge Qianjin Terrace, the space was just right.

"Why do you want such a big seat? I'm afraid we'll cheat, it's too exaggerated." Baili Dongjun frowned and whispered, then turned his head and found that Ye Dingzhi was standing beside him, surprised, "You What are you doing here with me?"

Ye Dingzhi scratched his head: "I came to the examination room when I first came to Tianqi, and I was a little confused. Seeing that Xiongtai is so famous among the candidates, I would like to ask for advice before the exam begins."

Baili Dongjun said "Oh": "What do you want to ask?"

"What do the signs above mean?" Ye Dingzhi pointed to a big sign in Qianjin Terrace, on which were posted the odds of each candidate, and some numbers were pasted on the back, "What does it mean that I wrote [-] on the back? Doesn’t the bigger the number, the more powerful it is?”

Before, Lei Mengsha told Baili Dongjun about the Qianjintai gambling game, and told him that the most people were optimistic about him, and the odds were always one to one. Baili Dongjun immediately replied proudly: "I know this, this is Qianjintai gambles to see who will be the leader of the exam this year. The larger the number, the fewer people are optimistic about you, so the odds are higher. For example, if someone beats you for a tael, if you win, you can get 1000 taels But if the person betting is too popular, the odds are not high, such as me..."

"I am also a thousand!"
