Seeing that he stayed on this test paper for a long time, the emperor said: "This test paper is brilliantly written and full of witty words. I want to be selected into the first A, and I am struggling to decide whether to be the second best or the third best."

There is no controversy about the champion, and the first answer is really amazing. Xiao Sheng's writing skills and the other are very profound, one is citing scriptures, and the other is brilliant, and the other is a lot of useful suggestions.

Pei Xing didn't answer. Originally, with his temper, he would not read the test papers seriously at all. The emperor wanted to choose whichever one he wanted. The matter of giving him a thin horse made him even more unhappy in his heart.

This kind of unhappiness, Rao couldn't suppress it when he thought of the old lady.

There was nothing left or right, he simply looked at the next few volumes, and finally chose the one that was pleasing to the eye, and said to the emperor: "Although this test paper is not outstanding, it has real talents and practical learning, and the opinions raised are more feasible. , among Yichen, he should be in the first division."

The emperor also noticed this test paper before. His words were right to the point, and he could be said to be deafening. Although his opinions were feasible, some of the swords were slanted.

Seeing that Pei Xing chose this, the emperor took a serious look again. have to say that he picked out this test paper, and he really learned to be rich in five cars. He was the third one who read the paper before. The emperor prefers talented people. He raised Xiao Sheng's share to the top one.

The emperor called him here because he wanted to listen to his opinion. He didn't even hesitate too much, and raised the test paper to the top one, and Xiao Sheng's share became the top two.

Pei Xing retire only after the emperor's royal pen appointed the first grade, and the emperor gave a banquet to the Wenhua Hall in order to reward the reading officer.

The next day's biography was presided over by the emperor himself. The officials of Honglu Temple had set up a list of emperors in the temple. Xiao Sheng was confused throughout the whole process, and no matter what, he did not expect that he would not be able to enter the first grade.

In the dream, he was clearly spotted.

Xiao Sheng could not help clenching his fists.

Although he didn't get the top spot, the old lady was still very happy when the news of the top two ranking came back to the mansion, and immediately gave money to all the maids in his courtyard.

Zhong Li also learned the news, and she was a little surprised, but it was a good thing that a hypocrite like Xiao Sheng didn't make it to the top of the list.

In the last life, after he was designated as the third flower, he entered the Hanlin directly. Now he has passed the imperial examination and became a Shuji Shi. He has to study for three years. , is naturally a great blow.

So that he was sluggish for several days in a row. When he learned that the sage had drafted the first grade, he had called Pei Xing away. His eyes were extremely gloomy. Because he was in a bad mood, this night, he even asked Liu Shun to give He prepared wine.

To be able to rank first in the top two, in Liu Shun's opinion, the master is good enough, but Xiao Sheng is not satisfied. He is in a really bad mood, and he has no time to worry about Zhong Li, and drank glass after glass of wine. .

He seldom drank, and the amount of alcohol was average. When a jar of wine was in his stomach, he was already a little drunk. He was so angry that he shattered the cup in his hand, and his eyes were scarlet.

Yingying and Ting'er were in the west wing, and they vaguely heard Liu Shun's words to persuade their master to drink less.

Yingying winked at Tinger.

Ting'er gritted her teeth, pushed open the door and walked out. She gathered up her courage and knocked on the door. Liu Shun heard the movement and came out. When he saw her, he frowned, "Didn't I tell you before that you are not allowed to come out casually?"

Ting'er quickly blessed her body and said, "The slave family saw that the master was in a really bad mood, so they couldn't help walking out. Don't blame me, sir."

She was so charming, and when she let go of her soft tone, Liu Shun's attitude subconsciously softened, "Go back, don't call me sire."

Ting'er bit her lip and said softly, "Why don't I go in and persuade the adults."

Liu Shun stared at her one more time, there was a shadow of Zhong Li on her body, maybe it was really useful to let her persuade.

Liu Shun nodded slightly and led her into the inner room.

The next morning, when Xiao Sheng woke up, he found that there was actually a woman lying beside him. The girl was biting her teeth lightly. At this moment, she was curling up inside with her eyes closed. There were shocking marks on her neck and snow chest.

His eyes instantly cooled down, and scenes from last night flashed in his mind. When he was drunk, he actually regarded her as Zhong Li.

He pursed his thin lips slightly, a look of disgust flashed in his eyes, and said coldly, "Get off."

Ting'er had actually woken up, her heart was in a mess, although it was a good thing, but she was very uneasy. After hearing his cold voice, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly got up, picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on. on the body.

Looking very embarrassed.

Xiao Sheng didn't look at her from the beginning to the end, as if the joy of last night never existed at all.

In the end, Liu Shun also received the penalty.

Zhong Li didn't know about this. If he knew about it, his impression of him would only be worse.

In the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, Li Mingran came to the Zheng family again. As soon as he saw his mother, Junxiu's face turned a tinge of crimson, and he asked nervously about the proposal.

Zheng Shi was both funny and helpless, "What are you in a hurry? After all, you have to wait for your cousin's marriage to be decided before it's your turn."

Li Mingran was naturally a little anxious. An outstanding girl like Zhong Li must have many people in his mind. If he didn't hurry up and was taken first by others, what would he do?

It was the first time that Li Mingran liked a girl. At this moment, he was only looking forward to seeing her every day. He couldn't wait for a moment.

Even if it was clear that at this juncture, his cousin should be the most important, he was still a little selfish.

He touched the tip of his nose, and finally couldn't help begging: "Mother, although I haven't reached the crown, I'm a few years older than my cousin. First of all, let me decide that it's different? You can just ask someone to propose marriage. I need to show her."

Zheng Shi always loved him, but he still nodded, "Forget it, tomorrow I will go to Zhenbei Hou's mansion first, you can go back, you are such an adult, it's not that you can't marry a daughter-in-law, so let people know that you are in such a hurry , don't laugh at you to death!"
