Meng Ji smiled and said, "It's almost time. I also invite the young master to join you in the inner hall, and the second round will begin immediately. Meng is here, I wish the young master a victory."

Winning the flag...

Xue Chi's head was dizzy, and he felt as if he had slipped into a cover. In a trance, he only felt that the "easy life" he was looking forward to waved his small wings and flew away.

"I……"

"Let's go." Xue Tingzhi, who didn't speak for a while, suddenly interjected, "I think it was the painstaking work of the first-born mother, so don't let it go, little son."

At this moment, Xue Chi was speechless.

His mother did say that he could go or not, but in the whole capital city, whose mother didn't want Gu Juefei to be her husband?

The situation he encountered now, fools know there are ghosts.

As Xue Tingzhi said, how did he know that this was not his mother's painstaking efforts?

A pair of sharp brows furrowed, and a bit of hesitation flashed in those beautiful eyes. Xue Chi bit his lip, but finally made up his mind—

If the mother has worked hard, he can't live up to it;

If the mother didn't take any pains, with his ability, it would not have been possible for the gentlemen to fall in love with him.

So, in the end, it's just a waste of time and can't go out and play.

Thinking like this, Xue Chi bit the bullet and responded, "Then, let me go."

The pity and silence in Meng Ji's heart suddenly deepened.

But he also noticed Xue Tingzhi who had just spoken. Because Xue Tingzhi stood a little farther before, he didn't pay attention when he first came down, but when he saw it, he had a rare "stunned" feeling.

If the temperament is not mature enough, this talent will soon catch up with the original Gu Juefei.

Looking at this standing posture, Meng Ji guessed his identity, and his heart suddenly became a little subtle.

He stepped forward and greeted him: "Eldest son Xue is polite, but I didn't even pay attention to the side. I hope you forgive me for being rude."

"It's okay, sir, you're welcome."

Of course Xue Tingzhi wouldn't mind, but he also knew that Meng Ji, a scholar from Tao'an, was Gu Juefei's person, and he was inextricably linked with the Grand Master's mansion, so he couldn't like it, and his attitude was not enthusiastic.

This made Meng Jigao take a look.

But at the same time, there is a subtle and deeper layer in my heart: white volume. In addition to the little son Xue Chi, this eldest son, Tingzhi, was also handed a blank paper!

The two sons of the General's Mansion did not know what they were doing.

Meng Ji was a little curious. But after all, he was not familiar with Xue Tingzhi, and Jianzhi still had a second round of exams to discuss, so he didn't talk too much, so he sued for his excuse.

In a short while, the inner hall was properly arranged.

The book boys came out and invited twenty-eight people on the list, including Xue Chi, to enter.

As for those who "failed", some chose to chat with friends in the museum, and some took advantage of this time to go to the mountains and waters, preparing to wait for the results to come out, and then come back to see.

Xue Tingzhi naturally had no reason to stay here and wait.

He took Xiangzhi and didn't go down to find Lu Jinxi, but with a mind that he couldn't figure out, he left the museum and walked along the embankment of Baiyue Lake.

The shadow of the Yuewei Pavilion is reflected on the Pinghu Lake, which is a bit stern.

But Xue Chi, who was in the museum at the moment, felt extremely tormented, like a fish being skewered and grilled. It was a torment.

In the inner hall of the Yuewei Museum, there are rows of bookcases, with brush, ink, paper and inkstone spread out on them, and the whole looks neat.

A total of 28 people passed the first round. Xue Chi was sitting on the fourth book table in the fourth row and looked around—

Those in their twenties, thirties, forties, and an old man... But there's no kid like him!

And these people looked at him from time to time with very strange eyes.

They also thought that it was incredible that a child like him, who was at most as tall as a table, appeared here.

At this moment, Xue Chi only knew what it felt like to be "thorn on the back".

He could not wait to run away.

But what Xue Tingzhi said before made him feel that he can't leave now, and that if he leaves, he will fail his mother. So even though he felt sitting on wax, he gritted his teeth abruptly.

Seeing it in front of Meng Ji, he couldn't help but secretly praised it.

He asked someone to post the test questions and said, "This round will take a little longer than the previous one. There are three questions in total, which will be discussed by seven gentlemen, each with its own emphasis. Every half an hour, a question is announced, and the answer sheet of the previous question is taken back and sent to the gentlemen for reading. You are all talented and quick-witted people, Meng will not say much, and please read the first question first. roll."

The book boy who had already prepared, held the paper with the test questions written on it, walked down, and placed one by one in front of everyone's book desk.

Everyone passed the first round. It can be said that, except for Xue Chi, who was eccentric and passed by for some reason, they are indeed as Meng Ji said, and they are rare and quick-witted.

This time, they answered the question for half an hour, and they were all full of confidence.

But……

After getting the test questions and opening them, almost everyone's expression changed, and some even couldn't hold back.

In the inner hall, they suddenly looked at each other, the atmosphere was strange.

The people sitting at the back haven't got the test questions yet, but they are all peeking at the people in front. This change in the situation caught their attention almost immediately.

Of course Xue Chi is also in this list.

He just felt that something was wrong: Strange, these people looked like hell when they saw the test questions?

He became hesitant and hesitant, but the thin bamboo-like young man sitting diagonally in front of him was wiping sweat with his sleeves up.

But this is only a few months, where is it so hot?

Problem with test questions?

Xue Chi was immediately very curious.

It just so happened that the book boy had already come to him and handed over the test questions. He hurriedly took it over and looked at it, and there were only two short lines—

"The Huns have been devastated by the war for six years; the peace is now negotiated, and the embassy is coming."

"May I ask you gentlemen, what do you think of it?"

The first time looked at it, Xue Chi didn't respond.

But after reading it for the second time, seeing the meaning, and seeing the word "reconciliation" above, Xue Chi was stunned, not knowing how to react.

Some time ago, when he heard about this, he was full of anger.

After all, his father was a general of the imperial court. He fought on the battlefield and wrapped his body in horse leather. He and the Huns were a bloody feud. These people, talk about peace and make peace, why?

But these days...

In Xue Chi's mind, the warm and soft voice of his mother before, and what he said to him in the study that afternoon came out.

He was actually very distressed.

But this is uncomfortable, and it is no longer the anger it used to be.

Xue Chi couldn't explain the feeling in his heart. He stared blankly at this page of paper. He almost couldn't hold up the little man's spirit.

Everyone in the field looked at each other in dismay because they "don't talk about the country".

In order to negotiate this matter, the government and the opposition have been fighting for several years. On the basis of the civil and military officials group, many factions have been divided, and they have been fighting each other, and the heads have been beaten into dogs.

Although the peace talks are now settled, these factions have remained.

The little officials in the DPRK who were not attached to them did not dare to say much about the matter, for fear of causing misfortune.

Today's group of people in Yueweiguan all hope to show their ambitions in their careers in the future, but they have not yet entered the officialdom, so they should be extra careful and taboo about these things.
