Seeing Liu Fengnian's surprised expression, Mr. Du smiled and said with emotion: "I really want to see if this kid can be on the list in the end."
"There should be no problem..." Liu Fengnian said casually, then realized that he was rude and quickly saluted Mr. Du.
"You have great confidence in this boy." Mr. Du smiled and touched his short beard: "Let's go, I will discuss the wine with that boy later."
Liu Fengnian bowed slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and then followed Mr. Du.
As for the day of listing, it is the most sacred day in the Five Kingdoms. Almost everyone is paying attention to the Sky List. At this time, it would be such an honor to be able to display poems and articles on the Sky List!
And this opportunity to display is not available to everyone. The list will be based on the order of each state, and the first place in each state will be taken out to display this person's poetry and articles separately.
In Nanfeng City, Xu Que walked quickly with an oil-paper umbrella. For this rain, Xu Que could only hope that it would stop falling a little less.
Just when Xu Que was about to enter the Confucian Temple Guild Hall, a boy hurriedly ran to Xu Que:
"Master Xu Que, our husband has invited you."
"Your husband?" Xu Que was confused: "Who is it?"
The servant was speechless, but he still said with a smile: "Mr. Jia, you stayed in the house the day before yesterday."
"Oh, it's him!" Xu Que nodded slightly: "What do you want from me?"
"Sir didn't say anything, and I don't know either." The servant replied respectfully.
Xu Que frowned. He didn't think it was a good thing to find Jia Zhong. The man was vicious and scheming as an old bird.
"In reply to your husband, just say that I still have things to deal with, and I will come over after I finish the things at hand." Xu Que said.
The servant had no choice but to bow his hands and leave quickly with an oil-paper umbrella.
Xu Que returned to the guild hall and as soon as he stepped into the room, he found an old man sitting at the table and reading a book in his hand.
"You finished the exam so early?" Mr. Gao put down his book and looked up at Xu Que.
Gao Lao was surprised. He didn't expect Xu Que to finish the exam so quickly.
"Why are you here? Do you want to protect the Confucian Temple in Zheyang County?" Xu Que did not answer Gao Lao's words, but instead asked the other party.
"The National Examination is not only a chance for you candidates to leap over the dragon gate, but also a time for those of us who work on duty to rest." Gao Lao replied.
Only then did Xu Que react: "That's right. After all, literary energy protects the body, and no one dares to attack scholars."
Gao Lao reacted and said: "No, I asked you just now, but you haven't answered me yet!"
Xu Que smiled and scratched his head: "Yes, I answer questions very quickly."
Hearing Xu Que's answer, Mr. Gao almost laughed angrily, but he was still concerned. He pointed upward and asked, "Do you think you can be on that list?"
"It should be fine, what's wrong?" Xu Que asked.
"If you can get on that list, as the guard of Zheyang County, I can take a step forward. If you can get the top three, I can return to the temple to cultivate. If you can get the Huiyuan, I can Directly promoted to the state capital as a guard."
After hearing what Elder Gao said, Xu Que finally understood that a watchman could be promoted like this.
"What if I fail?" Xu Que asked jokingly.
"Then I can only stay in Zheyang County. After all, in another eight years, it will be time for me to rotate." Gao Lao replied nonchalantly.
Xu Que was speechless. He thought the watchman would die in one place, but it turned out that they also had shifts.
"By the way, you came out so early, did you meet anyone from the Holy Family?"
"A member of the Holy Family? Who is it?" Xu Que asked curiously.
Xu Que's question confused Gao Laowen, and he murmured to himself: "It's impossible. Logically speaking, he should encounter the wandering Holy Family walking around."
Suddenly, Xu Que seemed to have thought of something, and then asked: "The people of the Holy Family you are talking about, do they have a golden word "Du" embroidered on their clothes?"
"Did you meet the Du family walking?" Gao Lao stood up suddenly and asked.
"If you say that person is walking, then that's pretty much it." Xu Que thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any explanation for the Du family's walking?"
"This Du family is a lineage of poetry saints in the Holy Family, commonly known as the Poetry Line. Although they cannot compare with the Holy Temple, in the eyes of the world, they are second only to the imperial power. Let's put it this way, anyone who can enter the Holy Family has There is a high chance that people will enter the temple to do things, and this person walking in the Holy Family will be the one who is about to enter the upper level of the temple."
Xu Que was shocked. This was the first time he knew that the Holy Family was so good at walking. He was like a walking earth emperor, and he could travel all over the world...
"Why are you so greedy?" Gao Lao looked at Xu Que with a smile.
"Yes." Xu Que nodded honestly: "If I can walk as a Holy Family, my Xu family won't have to be afraid of the imperial power."
Gao Lao smiled and snorted: "Then you marry a legitimate daughter of the Holy Family, and I will ensure that Emperor Dayan does not dare to touch you."
"Is this difficult?" Xu Que asked curiously.
The corners of Gao Lao's eyes twitched. He was just joking. I didn't expect this kid to really dare to think like this...
"Let's put it this way, do you think it's easier to marry a princess or an ordinary peasant girl?"
Xu Que answered without hesitation: "Of course it's easy for a peasant girl. After all, she is a princess, so there is no way she can marry that easily."
Gao Lao smiled very happily, then looked at Xu Que and said, "Since you all know that marrying a princess is difficult, do you think it will be easier for the legitimate daughter of the Holy Family?"
Xu Que rolled his eyes: "Tch, how do you know if you don't try? Maybe I can marry several legitimate daughters of the Holy Family one day!"
"Well, it's good to have dreams." Gao Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "But this dream is very far away, but there is a collateral relative next to you. If you marry her, you will not suffer any loss!"
Hearing what Mr. Gao said, Xu Que immediately thought of Huang Qianying, because he guessed a thing or two from Uncle Liao, but he didn't know Huang Qianying's true identity.
"Elder Gao, which lineage of the Holy Family do you think Huang Qianying is from?" Xu Que asked, sitting opposite Elder Gao.
Elder Gao stroked his beard and thought for a moment: "She is proficient in tricks and tricks. She should be a member of the Momai sect of the Za family. And if you said her surname is Huang, it should be related to Mo Yufeng."
Xu Que was a little shocked when he heard this, but he still discovered the problem, so he continued to ask: "From what you said, there are several factions in the Za family?"
"Well, the other families are all formed from the same family. Only the Za family has several factions and organizations. They are the Craftsman Mo Family, the Legal Merchant Family, the Shu Shu Li Family, and the Natural Pang Family..."
Xu Que was shocked to hear that so many families formed a holy family.
Seeing Xu Que's shocked expression, Gao Lao continued with a smile: "Don't worry, although these are descendants of the Holy Family, they live like ordinary people, even if you offend someone from the Holy Family one day , they won’t easily trouble you unless you kill someone!”
"What if we kill him?" Xu Que asked casually.
"Humph!" Mr. Gao's expression became weird: "What, you really want to kill someone?"
"No, I was just asking." Xu Que quickly explained.
In fact, Xu Que was really afraid that one day he would offend the Holy Family, so it was better to find out clearly, so as not to know who was plotting against him.
"If it's a collateral line, you can give something in exchange for your life. As for what it is, it's up to the other party. If it's a direct line, it will be until death. After all, direct lines and collateral lines are treated differently."
Xu Que nodded slightly. It turned out that the Holy Family was not the type to fight for their lives.
"What if they provoke me first?" Xu Que asked.
Gao Lao asked, "How much did it offend you?"
"The kind that won't stop until death." Xu Que replied.
Mr. Gao didn't speak, and kept stroking his beard in deep thought. He thought about it and felt that there had never been a case of the Holy Family going out to cause trouble.
Seeing that Elder Gao was deep in thought and silent, Xu Que continued to ask: "Just like me, the Yellow River Drunk, if the Holy Family asks me for a formula, what will happen to them if I don't give it to them?"
"Don't worry about this. The Holy Family will at most order this kind of wine from you, but they won't ask for your recipe." Gao Lao promised with a smile.
Xu Quemeng was confused. Is this Holy Family really so easy to talk to? Or do we mean that all the Holy Family have the hearts of saints?
