"misfortune?"
Hearing Sheng Changquan's confusion, the four of them looked at each other.
"That's not true!"
Several people shook their heads, denying his guess.
"Isn't it?"
At this point, Sheng Changquan became even more curious.
"Then where are you gentlemen here?"
"Long right!"
Seeing the younger brother asking questions, Niu Xingwen, the eldest brother among the group, was the first to speak: "The reason why I came here this time is not that something happened, but..."
"I have something to remind you!"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Seeing the solemn expressions of these people, Sheng Changquan could not help but slowly stop smiling, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully.
Speaking of which, among these four people, except for Liu Renyuan, a family friend, the other three are "friendships" developed by Sheng Changquan himself.
Of course, Shen Li's situation was special. After all, he was the son of the old fox, so Sheng Changquan didn't use any scheming methods on him. He even really regarded him as a friend.
After all, in front of Shen Shouzheng, this was the only way to maintain the friendship between them.
Speaking of which, this guy Sheng Changquan.
The heart is really dirty!
As for the other two people, Niu Xingwen and Lian Zhuo, they were singled out by Sheng Changquan among many candidates for the purpose of selecting friends for their future placement in the six departments of the imperial court.
After all, although the official positions of Lord Niu Qingyuan and Lord Lian Shangren are not top-notch, they are quite powerful in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works.
Each of the two families has been working in it for a long time, and many clan members are also in these two tribes in the court.
Although the position is humble, it is practical.
Back to the subject, at this time, Sheng Changquan looked at Niu Xingwen across from him quietly, waiting for his next words.
"This time the provincial examination produced quite a few crouching tigers, hidden dragons."
Niu Xingwen did not show off, but said directly: "Chang Quan, do you know that you are not the only one who came to participate in the Bianjing Autumn Festival this time!"
Because Sheng Changquan is a rare three-yuan case leader, everyone is proud of him. After all, in the current situation, he is really the seed player among the seed players.
At least, that's the way it is in the eyes of these four people.
Otherwise, how do you think Sheng Changquan could make these friends?
In addition to having similar temperaments, the reason why they can become friends is that they can bring benefits to each other.
Even Shen Li, who has a pure nature, is the same, but maybe he didn't notice it himself.
"Oh? So what?"
After hearing Niu Xingwen's words, Sheng Changquan felt certain in his heart.
To be honest, although Sheng Changquan definitely wants to continue to be brilliant in his heart, so that he can continue to be the number one and become Jieyuan.
However, he also knew that the world was so big that there would naturally be countless Crouching Dragons and Qilins.
Therefore, he cannot be sure about becoming Jieyuan, but he can only say that he has a chance to be in the top three.
Therefore, Sheng Changquan didn't care much about the important things his brother Niu said.
"how?"
Niu Xingwen and others were shocked by the client's reaction!
"Long right!"
"Don't you know that your position as a Jie Yuan is already in jeopardy?"
Among the people, Liu Renyuan, who was the most impatient, was the first to open his eyes: "Moreover, people outside are starting to bet on this matter!"
"Oh, is it so?"
Sheng Changquan was still unhurried and unhurried. He even poured himself a cup of tea leisurely and took a sip slowly.
"Yes, Changquan!"
"Not only that, there are many people outside who don't think highly of you and think your ranking is lower than those people!"
At this time, Shen Li couldn't sit still. After all, Sheng Changquan was likely to be his brother-in-law. How could he not be anxious at this time?
"hehe!"
"Brothers, there is no point in rushing this matter."
Seeing that Shen Li, who had rushed back from his hometown in Shandong, was also in such a hurry, Sheng Changquan finally said helplessly: "The provincial examination has been completed. No matter what the success or failure is, we can't change it."
"In that case, why should everyone worry?"
Everyone was speechless when they heard this.
"By the way, I wonder what my odds are?"
Sheng Changquan changed his tone and asked about the gambling market outside.
At this point, everyone's faces were filled with the same hatred and resentment: "Humph, those people are so blind that they actually gave you odds of 1 to 9!"
"One to nine?"
Sheng Changquan narrowed his eyes, but his face remained calm, still smiling slightly.
"What about the others?"
"Who is the lowest?"
"Yuan Shanjian!"
Liu Renyuan spoke immediately and introduced: "Chang Quan, I have already inquired, this guy is from the Yuan family in Henan Province!"
"Henan Road, Yuan Family?"
Hearing the news, Sheng Changquan raised his eyebrows: "That's not right. Didn't the Yuan family say they won't take part in the imperial examination?"
"Why did you send someone out again this time?"
Sheng Changquan also knows the Yuan family. Their family is an old family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. They are a typical heir of poetry and calligraphy, the kind that Sheng Hong envies most. In the previous dynasty, they were extremely prominent and noble. , that is, it was during this dynasty that I felt lonely.
Especially during the Zhenzong Dynasty, their family was even more troubled. Perhaps because of the excessive reputation of the Yuan family, they were forced by the treacherous Prime Minister Li Ang. In order to preserve the family, they had no choice but to join the Li Party and did many things that violated their principles.
However, the family tradition is strict after all, so in those years, the Yuan family did not have any blood on their hands, but they did many things against their will.
Therefore, after Renzong succeeded to the throne, the current head of the Yuan family wrote a petition, wanting to close off a member of the Yuan family and prohibit his disciples from participating in the imperial examination, in order to atone for the wrongs done by Zhenzong during the dynasty.
Of course, no one knows what happened back then, but what the head of the Yuan family said about sealing Jiazi was widely spread and everyone knew about it.
It was precisely because of this that Sheng Changquan was surprised.
Right now, this period of time has not come yet!
"Well, I'm curious about this!"
Liu Renyuan touched his nose and couldn't answer.
"The Yuan family shouldn't slap themselves in the face, right?"
Not to mention Liu Renyuan, even Shen Li and Niu Xingwen didn't know the reason.
"Ahem!"
At this time, Lian Zhuo, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "I do know about this matter."
"Um?"
Everyone looked up and saw Lian Zhuo pursed his lips and said, "The reason why Yuan Shanjian participated in the examination is all because of the Holy Spirit's wishes!"
"Your Majesty?"
Everyone was shocked!
"Um!"
Lian Zhuo nodded and continued: "I don't know the specific reason for this, but I heard my father say that it seemed to involve an event from the past, so Yuan Shanjian was the only one in the Yuan family who became an official."
Sheng Changquan knew that the matter was over, so he didn't ask further questions. He just nodded: "That's it!"
"But besides Yuan Shanjian, are there any other candidates?"
"have!"
At this time, Liu Renyuan spoke again: "In addition to Yuan Shanjian, there is also Lou Ben in Henan Province, who is also quite talented."
"By the way, there's another guy!"
At this point, Liu Renyuan glanced at Shen Li and said, "Li Yancheng, Shen Li's cousin, is ranked above you."
