Xiao Ruo didn't sleep well the night before, so it was rare for Xiao Ruo to sleep too much, and almost missed Xiao Zhao's preparations before going to the Lu Ming Banquet.

Fortunately, the clothes were matched yesterday, and today I just need to check if there are any omissions.

I saw him wearing an arrow-sleeve shirt with plum blossom dark patterns, crow silk dark pattern edging boots, and a white jade crown tied with jet-black hair, making his face as handsome as a crown jade, his eyes like bright stars, walking, sitting and lying down He has a strong character, what a handsome young man.

The more she looked at her baby brother, the more she was satisfied. Xiaoruo brushed off the non-existent dust for him, and said: "When we get to the banquet later, we must keep a low profile. He is already so handsome. If he shows off again, it will easily make people jealous. A tree is beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy it."

Xiao Zhao nodded yes, before boarding the carriage that came to pick him up for the banquet.

The Luming Banquet was held in the Chief Secretary's Yamen, and the chief and deputy examiners, academics, promotions, supervisors, fellow examiners, and deacons were all present. The 32 invited candidates were taken to the banquet venue by a special carriage.

When Xiaozhao arrived, most of the people had already arrived, and they waited in the inner courtyard of the banquet under the guidance of the guards.

The banquet hadn't even started yet, and the guests saluted and greeted each other, and many people greeted Xiao Zhao, who responded politely one by one.

"Geng Huitu, this must be Xiaozhao's little brother, right?" A middle-aged man dressed as a white-clothed scholar cupped his hands and said to Xiaozhao.

Xiao Zhao has a good memory, and immediately remembered that this name was No. 7 on the Dragon and Tiger List that day. He immediately bowed his hands and said, "It's me, Xiao Zhao met Brother Geng."

Geng Huitu opened the folding fan with a snap, shook the fan and said with a smile: "Hey, don't, don't, I can't bear this name. I heard that little brother Xiaozhao is young and promising. He is only ten years old. At my age, Not to mention being your father, being your uncle is more than enough."

His words were obviously a compliment to Xiaozhao's young and outstanding intelligence, but there was a deeper meaning to it when he looked at it carefully. A faint smile.

Xiaozhao also understood that this person was taking advantage of him, remembering the teaching of his elder sister before leaving the house, his eyes darkened, and he didn't speak to him.

He didn't make a sound, but someone behind him spoke for him.

"It's really rare to meet someone from a young school in a hundred years. It must be that the father and brother in the family are both Huaijin holding Yu, and they have long been famous."

The words were obviously ridiculing Geng Hui for trying to win the exam because of his age, and for wanting to be the elder of the ten-year-old Juren.

Geng Hui was so angry that he turned his head to follow the reputation, wanting to see who was trying to refute his face.

Xiao Zhao couldn't help but turn around and look, the one standing behind him and speaking out for him was a fourteen or fifteen year old boy.

The low-key dark blue regular clothes are embroidered with plum blossoms with gold thread, and a piece of pure white jade is worn on the waist. The whole body is clean and noble, and it looks like a child of a rich family.

Xiaozhao didn't know the young man, but everyone else present did, and this was Xie Yuan Liu Tingyun.

Geng Huitu, who was originally furious, saw that it was Liu Tingyun, his throat choked up, and he couldn't say a word.

This is the only seedling of the Liu family, the richest man in Qinzhou. I heard that there are relatives in the family who are officials in Yingzhou, which is a role he can never afford to offend.

"What's the matter? Brother Geng has another opinion?" Liu Tingyun sneered, staring straight at Geng Huitu.

Geng Huitu felt a burst of cold sweat on the back of the being watched, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "No, no, Liu Jieyuan has great insight."

Hearing the person in front of him calling the boy Liu Jieyuan, Xiaoxun immediately remembered that the No.1 on the dragon and tiger list yesterday was Liu Tingyun.

He hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Xiao Zhao is stupid, I don't know Brother Liu, please forgive me."

He was half a head shorter than Liu Tingyun, when Liu Tingyun bent down, he could see a twist in the back of his head, although he tried his best to cover it up, he could still distinguish it clearly.

Thinking of my mother often saying that people with a twist in the back of their head are smart, so I didn't lie to him.

This little guy is not only smart, but also pretty good-looking.

Yan Gou Liu Tingyun immediately decided to be friends with this smart and good-looking person.

Just as he was about to reach out to help Xiaozhao, the guard at the door announced: "Xian Shanyi, the chief examiner of the Hanlin Academy, and Yan Fangqing, the deputy examiner of the Hanlin Academy, has arrived—"

I saw the two examiners dressed in imperial uniforms, Yunyan Feipao and silver flower belts, so majestic.

The two, together with the officials, first gave a thank-you ceremony, and then entered the banquet one by one. The new imperial examiners introduced drum music, and after meeting with the chief examiner and other officials, they were seated one by one in order of ranking.

After the banquet, according to the usual practice, the chapter of "The Crying of the Deer" was sung, and the Kuixing dance was performed.

After the opening warm-up, Xiang Shanyi asked everyone to compose poems based on the two characters of Luming, which can be regarded as showing the literary talents of the people present.

There were many people who wanted to show off in front of the examiner, and after a while, many people came out to recite poems.

"The Holy Pen of Spring and Autumn is finally obtained, and the song of Ya Song Gong feasts on Luming."

"At the Lu Ming Banquet, the music and music are moving, and a loyal heart is for the imperial power."

"The sound of the deer seems to soothe people's thoughts, and the rhyme of the warbler is like hearing the song out of the valley."

……

Bearing in mind the elder sister's teachings, Xiao Zhao casually recited two festive and peaceful lines that fit the atmosphere of the banquet, which seemed to have escaped everyone's attention.

While he was reciting poems, the burning eyes of the two examiners caught Liu Tingyun's attention.

How did this guy get so much attention from the two adults?Could it be jealousy?

Liu Tingyun, who had already assigned Xiaozhao to his side in his heart, secretly decided that no matter what, he would protect this friend.

After the Luming Banquet, Xiaozhao was called away by the guards alone, and Liu Tingyun, who didn't know what happened, hurriedly circled back and forth at the gate of the Chief Secretary's Yamen.

The valet came up to ask when he would return home, but Liu Tingyun waved his hand casually, and the valet had to obediently wait for the young master to finish his circle before talking.

After a while, Xiao Zhao came out from the door under the guidance of the guards.

Liu Tingyun immediately went up to meet him and asked, "Did they make things difficult for you?"

Xiao Zhao looked puzzled, why is this Liu Jieyuan still here?

But etiquette cannot be neglected, Xiao Zhao bowed his hands and said: "No one has ever made things difficult for me, thank you Brother Liu for your concern, I will leave first."

After finishing speaking, he got into his own carriage and went home.

clever!cute!Also straightforward!As expected of a good friend whom I, Liu Tingyun, recognized!
Being ignored by Xiao Zhao, Liu Tingyun was not only not angry, but also a little flattered.

So the little servant of the Liu family saw his young master's face changed from anxious to happy, he got into the car with a smile and announced that he was going home.

As soon as Xiaozhao got home, after thanking the driver, he couldn't wait to go to the pharmacy to find the eldest sister, and wanted to tell her the good news.

"Zhao Zhao is back? How was the banquet?" Xiao Ruo stopped the action of burning raw clam shells, stood up and greeted her younger brother.

The younger brother who always walked, sat, and lay down and paid attention to the demeanor of a literati trotted all the way to find her, her little face was flushed, Xiaoruo knew that something important must have happened.

"Sister! I'm going to the Imperial College!" Xiao Zhao said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Guozijian?" The last time Xiaoruo heard these three words was on TV in her previous life.

Pour a glass of water for my younger brother and ask him to speak slowly, Xiaoruo asks him to speak slowly.

After drinking the water, Xiao Zhao felt that his heart was not beating so fast, so he slowly talked about what happened after the banquet just now.

It turned out that after the banquet was over, he was led by the guards to the room next to the banquet, where the two examiners Xiang Shanyi and Yan Fangqing were waiting for him.

"You were at the table just now, but you deliberately restrained your edge?" Xiang Shanyi asked, staring at the childish boy in front of him with burning eyes.

Xiaozhao was startled, thinking that his deliberate actions had been seen through, and the two adults wanted to ask the teacher for a crime.

He hurriedly bowed his head and apologized.

Unexpectedly, instead of being harsh, the two adults laughed loudly.

"Okay, okay, okay, behavior is higher than others, everyone must be wrong, you can understand the truth of hiding clumsiness, very good!"

Helping Xiaozhao up, Xiang Shanyi told him the plan they had discussed.

"Xiao Zhao, you have extraordinary talent and outstanding literary talents. Master Yan and I would like to recommend you to study in the Imperial College. Would you like to?"

These words were something Xiao Zhao had never thought of, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Xiang Shanyi stroked the goatee's beard, and there was an imperceptible shyness on his serious face, and said: "The two of us are just the bachelors and waiters of the Imperial Academy, and we can't do anything in terms of official career. One or two..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao suddenly knelt down on both knees, bowed his forehead to the ground, and the two hurried to help him up.

"I am willing! I am willing to study in the Imperial College!" Xiao Zhao bowed deeply again, his eyes full of excitement. "Thank you two adults!"

Seeing his sincerity, Xiang Shanyi and Yan Fangqing were relieved. They were a little worried that Xiaozhao would feel that it would be better for him to directly enter the official career after being elected.

"Okay, then go back and discuss with your family, and leave for the Imperial College as soon as possible. We will return to Yingdu first and reserve a good place for you in the Imperial College."

After listening to Xiaozhao's narration, Xiaoruo understood that her younger brother had met Bole this time.

Yingzhou is Yingzhou again.

One by one, they all have to go to Yingzhou...

Xiao Zhao in front of her looked up at herself, with red marks of excitement still remaining on her face, Xiao Ruo knew that she would not let him go, after all, Guozijian is the best school here, and being able to study in Guozijian is the most important thing for everyone. The desire of literati and students.

Biting her lower lip with white teeth, Xiaoruo made a new decision in a flash: go to Yingzhou with the whole family!
