NovelEnglish573 Court examinations (3)
However, the scholars were still quite fond of this, especially when a talented Huiyuan put on such a gesture. Even the officials in the distance praised in their hearts, ”
This kid was extraordinary.
With the sound of the drum, the three passages were completed. The civil and military officials entered the meridian Gate first, followed by the tribute officials from the Ministry of Rites. They crossed the Golden water Bridge and stopped in the square outside the throne room.
Xu niannian squinted his eyes and looked into the distance at the throne room. He could only see the civil and military officials on the throne room. He had no chance to see the memorial in the throne room.
After a long time, the civil and military officials left the court, and the court examinations began.
Even Xu Xinyi couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“Gulp ...”
The sound of swallowing came from the tribute officer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn such a tense atmosphere, everyone suddenly heard a clamor behind them. There were shouts and curses.
He could not help but look back. Through the opening of the meridian Gate, he could vaguely see a white-robed sorcerer blocking the way of the civil and military officials.
The white-robed man had his back to the crowd, and he was completely indifferent to the scolding around him.
Xu Nian, who was at the eighth stage of the scholarly faction, could even faintly hear someone berating him.
“Yang qianhuan, are you trying to rebel? Get lost.”
yang qianhuan, what are you trying to do? this is the meridian Gate, and today is the court examinations. Are you trying to cause trouble? ”
Amidst the angry curses, a deep sigh could be heard. The white-robed man slowly said, “”Your name and body will be destroyed, but the river will flow through the ages! Bah ...”
After a moment of silence, the civil and military officials exploded into an uproar.
“What, what happened?” A compatriot asked in confusion.
isn’t ... Isn’t this a poem by the silver Gong Xu Qi ‘an to mock the public? that ... That white-robed man seems to be from the Directorate of Celestials? ”
“He’s gone ...”
The 400 over tribute soldiers could no longer maintain their silence. They whispered to each other and kept looking back at the meridian Gate.
“Silence!” The official from the Ministry of Rites loudly rebuked, this is none of your business. Just focus on your exams. Whoever talks to each other again will be expelled from the meridian Gate and have to wait at home for another three years.
The tributes immediately did not dare to speak.
The Dukes who had just dispersed returned, some with gloomy expressions, some with excited expressions, and some with righteous indignation as they entered the throne room. Then, the sound of an argument could be heard.
After a quarter of an hour, the Dukes came out of the throne room and did not return.
Yang qianhuan ... This name was so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before ... Xu Erlang muttered in his heart.
“The capital’s Yun Lu Academy’s Chinese tribute scholars wish for the new year.”
The voice of the official from the Ministry of Rites interrupted Xu Xinyi’s thoughts. He came back to his senses, took the sealed script from the Honglu temple’s progressor, and strode into the throne room.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe court examination only tested strategy and inquiry. It was only one day, and the papers were handed in at dusk.
Xu Xinian left the palace in the afterglow of the setting sun. At the gate of the Imperial City, he saw his elder brother sitting on the back of a horse, holding the reins of another horse and waiting with a smile.
“I’ve told second uncle that I’ll come and pick you up.” “How did you do?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“It’s alright!”
“If I were a scholar of the Imperial College, I’d definitely get first place,” Xu niannian said lightly.
......... Don’t act tough! Xu Qi ‘an nodded in satisfaction. not bad. That’s how you live up to your name. In the future, people won’t call you a Tiger brother or a dog brother.
Xu niannian sighed. big brother may be famous, but he’s not a scholar. If the Xu family wants to gain a foothold in the capital and be respected, they need a scholar who has taken the imperial examination.
Xu Qi ‘an replied,”work hard, Erlang, I just came out of the princess’s residence.”
“........”Xu niannian cupped his hands.
He had lost, and he still couldn’t pretend to be his big brother.
Xu Qian threw the reins to Xu Erlang and said, “”Erlang, you’ve already walked out of the path of the imperial examination. Tonight, big brother will treat you to a celebration at the Imperial Academy.”
“Mother and sister ...” Xu xinnian frowned.
“I told aunty that I’m going on a night patrol today. As for you, after the court examinations, isn’t it normal for you to drink and chat with your classmates?” Xu Qi ‘an said.
“Big brother’s words make sense.” Xu xinnian laughed.
