Chapter 1135: Palace Examination
After Gu Chunzhu finished laughing, he immediately answered the puzzled two people, "This restaurant is owned by my family, so Xiaocheng can be said to be a small boss, you can eat and drink, don't worry about it being too expensive. My son's kindness pays off." But obviously her words still gave Xie Yun and Shi Zhiyuan a big shock, and they were both shocked and embarrassed.
Xie Yun and Shi Zhiyuan looked at each other, and they knew in their hearts that the two of them had really told a joke, and they were the kind that could laugh out loud.
But at the same time, the two of them were rejoicing. Although they made such a big oolong, they both talked to Xiaocheng quietly, rather than directly swept Xiaocheng's face in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry, we both didn't understand anything when we first arrived." Xie Yun and Shi Zhiyuan apologized in unison.
"What's the matter? There's nothing to be sorry for. You both are worried about me, and nothing happened. I should thank you." Xiaocheng waved his hands and said.
In fact, Xiaocheng and Gu Chunzhu didn't care about it. After all, Xie Yun and Shi Zhiyuan didn't know much about the various forms of the capital until they came to the capital. They were excusable, and their starting point was good.
After this small problem was solved, Gu Chunzhu also solved the problem of insufficient private room space by the way, and asked Xiao Cheng to bring Da Zhuang and Jin Han to entertain the group of them who entered the palace examination, while she brought Sister Fu. , Mrs. Su and others went to another box.
And this also has another advantage, Gu Chunzhu can invite Sister Fu's family by the way.
Xiaocheng's superficial statement is that Wei Xingzhi is celebrating Xiaocheng's visit, which will also reduce the risk of Xiaocheng's rash approach.
Besides, there are still a group of people in the top ten who have been persuaded by the prince to join the prince's faction, so that the prince can't catch Xiaocheng's handle. Gu Chunzhu also went to Xiaocheng's side to make a head, and as a vulgar and elegant boss, he said polite words.
After Gu Chunzhu left, the table was vaguely divided into two factions, one of them seemed to compliment Xiao Cheng but had no respect, but there were only three or two kittens.
Xiaocheng also found out that those were not on the list that Grandpa Huang gave him, and they were definitely people who Grandpa Huang thought was impossible to make friends with. And Xiaocheng saw this performance and knew that these people might be a little stupid.
You know, if you express your emotions so obviously in the officialdom, you are either pretending or being stupid. So young may not have the ability and status to pretend, so in the end there is only one conclusion, too stupid.
However, Xiaocheng didn't completely believe the people who had been complimenting and praising him on the other side, and most of the words he said went in his left ear and went out right.
The family's banquet here also gathered people when Xiaocheng and the others were halfway through their meal, and everyone was waiting for Xiaocheng and the three of them to come back while eating. After all, this banquet is to celebrate the success of the three boys on the list, and the most important thing is to celebrate Xiaocheng's victory in one fell swoop, so this banquet will be a little boring if the protagonist is not present.
Finally, when Gu Chunzhu and the others were finishing their meal, Xiao Cheng and the others finally sent all the guests away.
Gu Chunzhu learned from Aunt Miao that Xiaocheng had also served wine, and ordered the kitchen to prepare hangover soup. Therefore, when Xiaocheng and the three of them came over with the smell of alcohol, the first thing Gu Chunzhu did was to let them drink the hangover soup quickly.
The effect of this hangover soup is definitely not comparable to Hu Fei's hangover medicine, but it is still better than nothing. Xiaocheng and the others drank all night, but they were a little awake and could chat with their elders normally. The elders praised the three boys one after another, and the main target of the next question was Xiaocheng. After all, everyone had no way of knowing and was very curious about what the palace exam was like.
Madam Su was the first to ask the question. She was curious about how the whole palace exam was conducted. Xiaocheng also answered in a proper manner, although the words were relatively brief, "The palace exam is no different from the ordinary exam, but in another place, Grandpa Huang is watching."
"My grandson is a daring artist, and the palace examination can be said to be such an understatement." Mrs. Su is now in the state of Xiaocheng's blowing. Xiaocheng can blow out a flower when she says anything, and she can't wait to let everyone know. What a great grandson of hers.
Gu Chunzhu smiled helplessly, but Xiaocheng's words are really good, and those who are too frightened are not worthy of entering the palace exam. Immediately after, Madam Su asked her the most concerned question, "Xiaocheng, why did the emperor appoint you as the champion?"
"After all, I am brilliant in writing, outstanding in purpose, and my knowledge and courage are crushing everyone in the audience. No one refuses to accept me as the champion." When Xiao Cheng said these words without blushing and heartbeat, Gu Chunzhu was also shocked. , why do you feel that Xiaocheng has become a little narcissistic after the test? However, what he said was also the truth. Xiao Cheng really used his knowledge to convince everyone present.
It was like this at the time, Xiao Cheng and other ten people lined up in a random order and entered the hall in a proper manner under the guidance of the eunuch.
After the students cheered for long live, the emperor said something to praise them at the beginning, and then began to let them sit down according to the order, and then distributed the exam questions to start the one-hour palace exam.
During this period, the emperor would come down to inspect from time to time, and occasionally stop by a certain candidate, the pressure or expectation caused by it is not mentioned. In the end, the test papers were collected and reviewed by the emperor. After the emperor personally named the ranking and asked the eunuch to announce it, he ordered the eunuch to hand over ten test papers to the students to circulate and check.
At this time, because everyone already knew the ranking, everyone except Xiaocheng focused on Xiaocheng's test paper, trying to find out what they were not convinced about.
. However, to everyone's disappointment, they couldn't pick one out. And the emperor also specifically said that if someone is not convinced, this ranking can be brought up for discussion.
As a result, everyone talked a lot about the ranking behind, and even really adjusted the ranking of the two people because of this. However, no one raised any objection to Xiaocheng's ranking, and the emperor asked specifically about it, and everyone bowed their heads and said nothing. In the end, the emperor himself picked out several flaws in Xiaocheng's article, such as some ideas that were too naive to put into practice, etc.
But when the emperor said these words, the smile on his face made the teeth of the people around him sour. That kind of bragging was almost like saying that my grandson was number one in the world. In addition, the people from the Prince's faction were very unhappy, and in the end, they bowed their heads deeply, hiding the storm in their eyes. Especially Xuanyuan Lie, the swear words in his heart can be combined into an article.
