Seeing that Song Huan remained silent for a long time, Song Liang opened his mouth again and said, "What about that? Fourth brother, if you have nothing else to do, Third Brother, I will leave first!"
Seeing that the soles of Song Liang's feet were oiled, and he was about to run away, Song Huan said something faintly.
"late."
Song Liang stopped, turned his head, and stared at Song Huan.
"What do you mean it's late?"
Song Huan raised his head and pretended to look at the sky.
"If I remember correctly, the assessment of Wenyuan Pavilion should start immediately after the morning court."
"You go over now, the gate of Wenyuan Pavilion is closed."
"Why are you still going to join in the fun?"
Hearing Song Huan's words, Song Liang blushed for a moment.
It turns out that the fourth child knew his intentions all along and deliberately made things difficult for himself here!
"you!"
"You deliberately delayed my arrival!"
Song Liang did not hide it and admitted it simply!
Song Huan smiled coldly: "What are you going to do for the selection of Wenyuan Pavilion?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Do you have any connections with you?"
Song Liang was so angry that he couldn't speak. He just gave Song Huan a hard look, turned around and walked away angrily.
That's all, if you really can't go, that's all.
Anyway, everything that needs to be explained has already been explained to Zhou Nan. What to do depends on his own ability!
If he couldn't handle such a small thing, what kind of person would he be as the eldest son of a noble family?
How will you cooperate with yourself in the future?
Whether he can succeed today or not depends entirely on his own destiny!
…
at the same time.
Inside Wenyuan Pavilion.
Before all the candidates came for the examination, Lin Zhihuan was already breathing rapidly, his palms were sweating, and he felt his whole body shivering involuntarily as he looked at the four highly respected bachelors sitting on the stage.
According to regulations, anyone who has served in Wenyuan Pavilion for more than twenty years will be exempted from the annual assessment.
What a coincidence, among the five existing bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion, only Lin Zhihuan is a newcomer who has only been here a few years.
As a result, Lin Zhihuan could only watch his former colleagues sitting in the examiner's seat.
And around him, there are some new and ambitious faces who came from all over the country.
Looking at their high-spirited and ambitious faces, Lin Zhihuan's heart was pounding.
Even though he has read Prince Rong's masterpieces for several consecutive times, sitting in the examination room at this moment, Lin Zhihuan is really not that confident!
"Squeak——"
The door was gently pushed open, and two young men walked in one after the other.
The man in front was a few years younger and had an arrogant face. He wanted to have the word "arrogant" slapped on his forehead.
Although the young man following him was older, he was no less arrogant than the man in front.
In addition to being arrogant, the bursts of hostility emanating from this person are even more unsettling.
For some reason, Lin Zhihuan felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort from the first moment he saw this young man.
But he couldn't tell where this uncomfortable feeling came from!
These two candidates were already late. According to regulations, their exam qualifications should have been cancelled.
However, the examiner Wang Shilu personally stood up and guided the two candidates to their seats.
Especially for the candidate at the back, Wang Shilu was all smiles.
"Master Zhou, please take a seat quickly."
"The assessment is about to begin!"
Lin Zhihuan had reason to suspect that if there weren't so many pairs of eyes staring at him, Wang Shilu might still be groveling and bowing to this young man!
After all, that flattering attitude could no longer be hidden.
After hearing Wang Shilu's words, all the candidates began to whisper and whisper among themselves.
"Master Zhou?"
"This is the Tongpan from Guizhou, Master Zhou Nanzhou who just published a collection of poems!"
"I heard that Master Zhou has quite a lot of background! Just being born in the Lingnan Zhou family is enough to defeat many people."
"It doesn't matter that he is born into a noble family. The most important thing is that Mr. Zhou's literary talent is also one of the best!"
"Do you still remember the great genius Bai Sinian? Master Zhou's writing style is quite similar to Mr. Bai!"
"Tsk, tsk, someone with a better family background than ours is also more talented than us."
"Obviously I can choose to inherit the family business and live in peace, but I have to make a name for myself in Bianjing!"
"If such people are not successful, who will be successful?"
"This doesn't leave us a way out at all..."
Hearing the compliments from everyone, Zhou Nan straightened up involuntarily, and the smile on his face became more ostentatious.
Seeing Zhou Nan's triumphant look, the young man walking in front felt a little unhappy.
It seems that there is a feeling of dissatisfaction with having all the limelight taken away by the other party.
I saw him deliberately coughing loudly a few times, and at a volume that was not too loud but just enough for everyone to hear, he whispered to Wang Shilu: "I'm sorry, grandpa, my grandson is late."
The expression on Wang Shilu's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the faces of other people.
Fortunately, the other people were very sensible. They all lowered their heads and did not cast any glances at Wang Shilu.
Wang Shilu hurriedly pointed to the empty seat and said, "Since you are already late, why don't you take a seat quickly?"
"Don't waste time!"
Although his tone was stern, the doting on his face was clearly visible.
Facing the scene in front of him, Lin Zhihuan sighed helplessly.
It turns out that the reason why this young man is so arrogant is because he is Wang Shilu's grandson, Zhao Xuanling.
Even though Zhao Xuanling is just a sixth-grade Litong now, with Wang Shilu's relationship, he doesn't have to worry about his career at all.
Among the thirteen candidates in this session, the backgrounds of Zhao Xuanling and Zhou Nan alone were extremely tough.
As for the remaining candidates who came from various state capitals, there was naturally no support behind them.
All the people you see are connected people, why should you play with them?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhihuan couldn't help but sigh.
That’s it!
It's better to be determined to lose, try your best, and give it one last try!
Seeing that all thirteen candidates had arrived, Wang Shilu strode to the center of the hall and slowly read out the assessment standards.
"You are all talents from our Daliang Prefecture. You are here well prepared. You must have a certain understanding of Wenyuan Pavilion's assessment."
"Today is the first test of the assessment. The questions will be asked on the spot and the answers will be answered on the spot. The other bachelors of Wenyuan Pavilion will mark the papers on the spot."
"Those who rank in the top five will pass the preliminary examination and can participate in the examination in the Hall of Supreme Harmony three days later."
"At that time, His Highness will personally hold the palace examination."
"Do you all understand?"
After hearing this, everyone replied to Wang Shilu in unison: "Yes, I understand!"
Thinking of the palace examination three days later, everyone was eager to try and full of fighting spirit.
Although they are both court officials, this will be their first meeting with Emperor Liang.
As long as you successfully pass the palace examination, your future life will be on the rise!
Faced with such a huge temptation, who would not be tempted?
