Naturally, in their eyes, as long as Gao Zhang can win again, he can really become the number one pick.
So in the future, his reputation as a child prodigy of the Song Dynasty will definitely not be weaker than that of the famous prodigies in history, such as Xiang Luo, Gan Luo, Cao Chong, etc., and may even be stronger than them.
Gao Zhang had no time to pay attention to the gossips of those gossips.
At this moment, he was comforting his biological father Gao Qiu, who was obviously emotionally unstable.
Gao Qiu, who was sitting in front of Gao Zhang, looked at his son in a daze, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Zhang'er, are you coming out too early? Are you really incompetent?"
"This is really not the reason why the child came out so early.
It was one of the articles that I had conceived for the palace examination before, and it happened to correspond to the topic of today’s palace examination..."
After listening to Gao Zhang's methodical narration, Gao Qiu, who had been filled with anxiety before and feared that his son would turn in a blank paper, finally let out a long sigh of relief.
After grabbing the wine from the desk in front of him and taking a swig of it to calm down his shock, Gao Qiu finally felt that he had recovered.
Look at Gao Zhang's calm and well-behaved appearance, as well as his confidence in his article.
Especially when he heard his own son reciting part of the article, Gao Qiu, who was well versed in both civil and military matters, felt very high-spirited and energetic.
"Well, as expected of my Qilinzi, he was able to write such a wonderful article."
"If Mr. Dongpo were still here, I'm afraid he would have to praise my son..."
Seeing my father running so excitedly in the private room, I wanted to pick up a loudspeaker and shout to the people all over Tokyo how my son was doing.
Gao Zhang quickly spoke to divert his father's attention.
"Dad, my son has finished his imperial examination. Let's go home. Mother is still at home waiting for news."
"Well, okay, okay...slow down!" Gao Qiu nodded, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he quickly raised his hand to signal Gao Zhang not to move.
"???" Gao Zhang looked at his father in confusion. He really didn't understand the meaning of his father's slow voice.
#####
"Come on, come on, sit down first. We, father and son, will have something to eat here first. When it gets closer to dusk and the palace exam is almost over, we will go back."
"Why is this?" Gao Zhang became more and more confused when he saw his father sitting back.
Seeing his son's cute look, Gao Qiu couldn't help but feel happy. He picked up the wine and took another sip before explaining.
"Your mother just likes to have random thoughts sometimes. If we go back too early, haha..."
His biological father only clicked the button, but Gao Zhang, who had already reacted, smiled obediently.
"Okay, kid, listen to daddy."
The father and son were eating and drinking in this restaurant, while the butler Fukang went to tell the entourage that they were not allowed to talk nonsense in front of the lady, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
In the palace, Huang was currently praying silently with his hands clasped together in the smoke-filled ancestral hall, which was like a fairyland.
I hope all the ancestors, for the sake of her piety, will collectively wake up and come online.
I wish my son Gao Zhang good luck and success in his imperial examination today, and he may be named on the gold medal list.
Of course, if possible, it would be best to bless his good son Gao Zhang to become the top scholar in high school and achieve the legendary legend of Gao Jiawen's opera star and child prodigy.
Inside and outside the house, all the servants and maids of the Gao family were dressed in disgrace.
I can only follow my wife and pray devoutly for Gao Zhang’s little ancestor to become the number one child prodigy of the Song Dynasty...
At dusk, the bell in the palace rang for the end of the palace examination.
The few remaining Gongshi watched helplessly as their answers were taken away mercilessly.
I could only stop writing in my hand sadly and stood up reluctantly.
And Cai Yao, who worked on the topic for a whole day, felt that he had written a masterpiece.
He stepped forward with numb legs, held on to his sore waist, and stared at a pair of dazzled eyes for a long time before he walked out of the palace gate.
If the servants of the Cai Mansion hadn't arrived in time, Cai Laoliu, who was already exhausted, would have been knocked down before he could even take a few steps.
"Is Rokuro okay..."
Cai Laoliu sat down on the ground softly and said weakly.
"It's okay, it's just because during the palace examination, inspiration surged like a spring, and I spent the whole day there writing and splashing ink.
I really have no strength left, so hurry up and get the carriage over and help me up. "
After hearing Cai Laoliu's words, all the Cai family couldn't help but stand in awe, even though Liulang often boasted that he was the Qilin son of the Cai family.
But I have to admit that he is the only one of the prime minister's descendants who got the chance to take the imperial examination.
But today, when I saw him writing the question, he was so tired that he almost collapsed. Could it be that Rokuro really wrote a long poem with great content?
At this moment, the carriage finally came to a slow stop, and the curtains of the carriage were lifted, revealing Cai Jing's old face.
"Rokuro, why are you so tired? Why are you standing still doing nothing? Why don't you quickly carry Rokuro into the car?"
Amidst the Prime Minister's scolding, a group of Cai family members hurriedly carried Cai Laoliu into the car.
As the carriage just started to move, Cai Jing, who had also sat back in the carriage, was about to ask Cai Yao about the status of the imperial examination.
Unexpectedly, this exhausted little fat man had already fallen asleep and was actually snoring.
"..." Cai Jing shook his head helplessly, forget it, and let this kid have a good rest.
When I get back to the house, I will ask again carefully. I don’t have high requirements for this child, as long as he doesn’t hand in a blank paper.
As for what kind of good articles this guy can write, haha...
Cai Jing felt that he was not looking down on his sixth son, but that this boy had extremely strong self-confidence.
There are really no merits or talents to show off.

"What's going on?" Zhao Ji, an official who was practicing calligraphy in front of a writing desk deep in the palace, asked without raising his head.
Li Yan, who quickly entered the hall, bowed respectfully to Zhao Ji and then replied respectfully.
"Guan Jia, the Imperial Examination ended half an hour ago. All the examination papers have been sealed, and now the reading of the papers has begun."
"I hear what Wu Shangshu said, I'm afraid I'll have to work all night tonight.
At noon tomorrow, he will definitely submit the completed list to the officials to ask them to finalize the list. "
"That's true. There are hundreds of tributes in the palace examination. Although it is said that they are only awarded, not betrothed. But just reading the papers and setting the waiting list is also extremely time-consuming."
Official Zhao Ji nodded with deep understanding. During the imperial examination, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, including the examiners appointed by themselves, were the most tired.
Especially during the palace examination, if the palace examination is held today, the results will definitely be released within tomorrow.
For this reason, the palace examinations were only sealed, and then the examiners read the papers. After listening, the examiners began to wait.
In order to ensure that the results can be released the next day, the palace needs to appoint a large number of eunuchs to help.
Just like when the paper reader needs to read the test papers of hundreds of candidates in such a short period of time.
