The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 298 Strength (one more)

Ning Zhiyuan deeply felt sorry for Xiao Liulang.

This is the first time he has come to the capital, but it is not the first time he has come into contact with the officialdom. When he was in the local area, he went to the government school to teach, and he also served as a temporary boss beside the county magistrate.

He had seen the darkness and strife of the officialdom with his own eyes, but he never expected such injustice in such a clear place as the Hanlin Academy.

In fact, his own life was not too smooth, but this kind of dissatisfaction is within the normal range, because he has no power, no power and no background, so he is not taken seriously.

Xiao Liulang was deliberately suppressed.

That is to say, Xiao Liulang has a good mentality and has not collapsed.

Ning Zhiyuan said nothing, patted him on the shoulder, and went out with a sigh.

Xiao Liulang went out to wash the brush, and when he came to the ink washing pool, it happened that the Prince of Anjun also came here to wash the brush.

He doesn't have to do it himself, someone else will do it for him.

He was surrounded by a group of colleagues who congratulated him one by one.

"I heard that Zhuang Bianxiu took the first place in the exam. This is called real gold not afraid of fire!"

"Yeah! No one dares to show favoritism this time!"

While they spoke without any scruples, they did not forget to cast meaningful glances at Xiao Liulang.

How did Xiao Liulang's first place in the road come to be "spread all over" in the capital, saying that he is nothing more than a face that is 78% similar to that of Xiaohou Ye of Zhaodu, and he has won the father of Xiaohouye and Xiaohouye. The favor of fellow brothers and sisters.

Even his champion was the emperor who deliberately released water in order to suppress the banker.

And the emperor can't stretch his hands so long in everything. The Hanlin Academy is a place where the emperor's lineage cannot reach out. No, the first time he took the Hanlin exam, he was exposed!

In fact, don't think that the scholar speaks more implicitly than the country shrew, the country shrew is just loud and rude, and can't scold people's pain points.

When a scholar scolds someone, it can cut open a person's heart, the blade of the tongue, and the knife will see blood.

However, the officials of the Hanlin Academy are not as careless as the few scoundrels in the Guozijian. They cherish their reputation. They will not really block Xiao Liulang here and do anything to him, nor will they deliberately trip over him to make him embarrassing.

They would only use their power to suppress him, or taunt him and isolate him.

Xiao Liulang's expression did not change much.

He was going to leave after washing his pen.

"...It should be calculated like this, the number is twenty-seven." King An Jun finished the answer to an editor who asked him for an arithmetic problem.

He called out Xiao Liulang, "Wait."

Xiao Liulang paused and looked at him lightly: "Is something wrong?"

Anjun Wang said: "The Hanlin Academy is a place for fair competition. No matter what others say, I hope you understand that it is based on strength. You know how your champion came to be, and the Hanlin Academy will not give Xuan Ping a chance. Hou's chance to intervene. You really shouldn't have taken refuge with Xuanping Hou."

If you are a military general, it makes sense to join the Marquis of Xuanping.

Obviously he is a man of letters, and the dealer is the tallest tree!

Xiao Liulang didn't answer Anjun Wang's words, he just glanced at the question in the hands of a certain editor and said, "Nineteen."

After all, he left calmly.

Anjun Wang frowned.

What nineteen?

The editor was studying the problem-solving process of King Anjun, and did not dare to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

Prince An walked over, took the title and looked at it again, and suddenly realized that he had written one less number in the seventh step, and the final calculation result was—

King Anjun took the pen and paper and calculated it on the manuscript paper.

nineteen!

How would he know? !

Has he done this before? It's not like he just listened to Zhang Bianxiu read the topic, and then calculated the result in his heart.

impossible!

He's not so smart!

This kind of huge amount of calculation, ordinary people have to calculate a day on paper, Hanlin Jinshi is smarter than ordinary people, but it also takes half an hour less.

He is extraordinarily smart, so it only took a quarter of an hour, but it still had to write down complex and huge calculation steps on paper.

And he was wrong.

How could Xiao Liulang be able to calculate correctly only by mental calculation?

After the assignment, Prince An got into the carriage returning to the residence, and unexpectedly found that Mrs. Zhuang was actually in the carriage.

"Grandfather." Prince An gave a salute, "Why are you here?"

"I'll come and see you when I pass by." Mrs. Zhuang said in a good mood.

Ever since Empress Dowager Zhuang sent Zhuang Yuexi home from the palace, Mrs. Zhuang hadn't shown such a happy expression for many days.

Prince An couldn't help but ask, "Why is grandfather so happy? Is there a big happy event?"

Master Zhuang's admiring eyes fell on him, and he couldn't hide his smile: "It is indeed a happy event."

There aren't many things that grandfather could call a happy event...

Prince An looked at Mrs. Zhuang in confusion. For some reason, an unexplainable premonition flooded his heart.

Mrs. Zhuang finally stopped selling Guanzi, and smiled at the Prince of Anjun: "Yuan Shoufu is interested in you."

"Yuan Shoufu?" King Anjun was shocked.

Yuan Shoufu was the Taishan Beidou of Zhao State, and the first assistant minister of the cabinet who did his part.

How could he suddenly be interested in himself?

It's not that Prince An is belittling himself and thinks he doesn't have the strength. It's just that his reputation has spread long ago, and Yuan Shoufu has long been attracted to him if he wants to.

If it was because of this imperial examination, he only won the second place, and above him, there was the new champion of Xiao Liulang.

Master Zhuang smiled and said, "You guys went to Yueluo Mountain to sort out the library this time. He has seen the ancient books you sorted out and is very satisfied with you."

King Anjun was also very satisfied with the ancient books he had organized.

He has read a lot of books since he was a child, and he never slackened his studies in Chen State. He also studied history well.

There were not many ancient books that he sorted out that day, but he was confident that he was the best one among them.

"Yuan Shoufu loves to study ancient books." Master Zhuang said.

"So it is." King An suddenly realized, no wonder he suddenly took a fancy to himself, "Then... is he planning to accept me as a disciple?"

It would be great if I could worship Yuan Shoufu as my teacher.

Although they were considered as disciples of the emperor after they passed the jinshi examination, no one would dislike having such an excellent master.

In his opinion, within the six kingdoms, only four people are qualified to be his teachers.

One is the deceased Feng Lao, the other is the Han Shan layman from the state of Yan, the other is Mr. Lian Yun from the state of Zhao, and the other is Yuan Shoufu.

Even his fourth uncle, Zhuang Xianzhi, was not qualified enough.

As for Huo Jijiu, he was at odds with Empress Dowager Zhuang, and Prince Anjun didn't like him much.

"Not a disciple, but a grandson-in-law," said Mrs. Zhuang.

Anjun Wang frowned.

Master Zhuang said: "What he wants to give you is the granddaughter who grew up in a Taoist temple. That girl's talent is also good. Yuan Shoufu values ​​her very much, but unfortunately she is a woman and cannot inherit Yuan Shoufu's mantle. If you really marry her, It's no different from Yuan Shoufu's disciples."

How is it not bad?

They are all old.

King Anjun didn't say that.

His marriage cannot be decided by himself, but he is not married to the woman he likes, so it is not the same for whoever he marries?

After Yang Shidu was promoted, he was busy teaching the Shuji Shi of the Hanlin Academy, and for the time being he didn't care about making things difficult for Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang scattered the value on time.

He packed up and left the Hanlin Academy.

He just left on the front foot, and Cen Bianxiu also came out of his office on the back foot.

For the past two days, he avoided Xiao Liulang. First, he had calculated that Xiao Liulang was guilty, and secondly, he was observing when Xiao Liulang would go to Yang Shidu to confront and complain.

Xiao Liulang went west after leaving the Hanlin Academy.

He clearly remembered that Xiao Liulang used to go east...

Did you really go to Yang Shidu to file a complaint?

The west happened to be the direction of the Hanlin Academy——

Xiao Liulang did go to the Hanlin Academy, but instead of going to Yang Shi to read, he went to Feng Lin and Lin Chengye. He sorted out some astronomy and arithmetic topics last night, which should suit their current progress.

Cen Bianxiu sneakily followed.

When he saw Xiao Liulang going in the direction of the Hanlin Academy, his heart was in his throat!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liulang was stopped halfway.

is a woman!

The woman was dressed beautifully, with delicate eyebrows and beaded hairpins. Although she was wearing a veil, she still couldn't hide her amorous feelings.

Cen Bianxiu just glanced at it and felt his eyes go straight.

The woman did not come forward.

It was the little maid next to her who walked over and said something to Xiao Liulang.

From Cen Xianxiu's point of view, he could only see Xiao Liulang's back. He didn't know what Xiao Liulang's expression was, and he couldn't hear the voices of the two.

Then, Xiao Liulang left.

The little maid and the woman both bowed slightly to Xiao Liulang.

Went to a relative's house for a drink today, everyone was playing cards, only I was typing. . . .
