Zhou Lan thought about it, in such a serious occasion, I would do whatever I was asked to do without even looking at it.
It would be unfair to involve yourself just to make eye contact with Mr. Fu. You should be nice.
Didn't you see those guards armed with spears walking along the way? This is a show of force to make you obey. Just this battle, just a few casualties, will scare you into panic.
It is worthy of being able to reach the stage of the palace examination. Each of them has solid knowledge and is waiting to show their talents and be appreciated.
Before I saw the wealth and high-end of the highest power center in the capital, I first saw that his majesty cannot be offended.
In a place like this, how can you not be cautious and remember this day for a lifetime. This official career is not easy to follow. Always remember the majesty of the Heavenly Family.
Then came the palace examination, an unusually pure and majestic place.
Zhou Lan didn't even dare to raise his head to look at the Supreme Being sitting above. Fortunately, when he saw the test questions, Zhou Lan automatically entered the study mode and buried himself in answering the questions. He was so focused that he could forget all the external objects.
It wasn't until he put down the pen and dried the test paper that Zhou Lan had time to wonder, should I raise my head and take a look? Otherwise, when my wife asked me how I should answer when I went back, he had never thought about what he was thinking.
The sound of the whip just happened, so don’t worry about it, just hand in the paper and then exit.
When he got up, Zhou Lan looked up without any trace, it was hazy, and he thought it was the same whether he looked or not.
It wasn't until they left the palace that the atmosphere calmed down. Xu Xiaolangjun came over and asked Zhou Lan: "Third brother-in-law, you looked up."
Zhou Lan felt that his back was wet. The royal majesty caused him to break into a cold sweat. He shook his head: "I don't dare to look around."
Xu Xiaolangjun: "What a majestic place. My legs and feet are still numb and I feel weak when I stand. It will be good if I can barely finish writing."
Zhou Lan doesn't think so, but he really doesn't dare to offend the majesty.
Xu Xiaolangjun followed and said, "Third brother-in-law, don't laugh at me. The clothes on my back are all wet."
This is probably the same for everyone. Zhou Lan said: "Let's go back home first and change clothes. It feels uncomfortable. I guess everyone is the same."
Then the two brothers looked at each other and showed a relaxed smile. They were both the same.
Xu Xiaolangjun said with special regret: "It's a pity that even the hadiths that spur us are read by the examiners."
Do you regret not being able to hear the hadith? Zhou Lan: "I heard that after the palace examination list comes out, the saint will meet with us. You still have a chance."
Xu Xiaolangjun: "Even if it is not easy, not all saints can be seen. My achievements are definitely not within the range of those who can see them."
After saying that, he chuckled: "I am satisfied that I have come this far. I am lucky enough to be able to enter the Golden Palace, which is beyond my expectation."
Zhou Lan: "Don't underestimate yourself, there is still a long way to go."
Xu Xiaolangjun: "I can still clearly distinguish between belittling oneself and wishful thinking. Unless there is a miracle, this deer-crowing banquet will never happen to me."
A calm person like Zhou Lan was a little nervous. He could hardly remember what he wrote in his article.
After Li Langjun separated from the group of scholars, he came over to Zhou Lan and the others: "Brother Zhou Xian, brother Xu Xian."
Zhou Lan and Xu Xiaolangjun saluted together: "Brother Li."
After arriving in the capital, Brother Li settled down on his own and never lost friends around him. On the contrary, he became far more distant from Zhou Lan and Xu Xiaolangjun.
Li Langjun was full of energy: "Looking at Brother Zhou Xian's appearance, he must be good. I wish these two good brothers a brilliant career and a blockbuster success."
What he said was a bit too flattering to them. Zhou Lan said, "It's an unexpected joy for me to be able to reach this point. How can I not be happy? The rest is just to accompany a talented person like Brother Li."
Just a quick trip with you."
When it comes to flattering people, Uncle Zhou is definitely more sincere than Li Langjun when showing his strength.
Xu Xiaolangjun learned from the sidelines that his third brother-in-law's words make people feel comfortable and seem sincere.
Li Langjun laughed loudly: "Don't be like this. Brother Zhou Xian shouldn't be so humble. As brothers, we are classmates, so we really think highly of brother Xian."
Zhou Lan didn't want to talk about himself: "Seeing the spring breeze blowing on Brother Li's face, I must have great literary talent and go very smoothly."
Li Langjun: "Just like what my dear brother said, I am already surprised by being able to reach this point and see the most noble place in the capital. What's more, I can meet so many like-minded friends. As for the ranking, I think brother
opened."
Xu Xiaolang said in his heart, I hope it is true. So many prospective Jinshi scholars have studied hard and are full of talents. But there is only one number one scholar. Some people must be proud of themselves and others will be disappointed. Most people
You need to think about it early.
Zhou Langong cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li is open-minded."
As for whether they are really open-minded, only they themselves know this. At this time, everyone is very humble. No one says that the number one scholar is mine and I cannot afford to lose that person.
Let Xu Xiaolangjun say, Brother Li is like this, why not be like that Fu Langjun, go out quickly and find an umbrella to protect yourself.
It's actually quite tiring for Brother Li to greet each other and court each other like this, especially now that his underwear is still wet with sweat. It would be bad if he gets cold because of it.
However, Xu Xiaolangjun also admired Brother Li's ability to make friends. When they arrived in Kyoto together, Li Langjun was already familiar with most of the Jinshi in this subject.
In comparison, he and his third brother-in-law seemed a bit unsociable. They didn't know many people.
Li Langjun: "By the way, the joint examination and the palace examination are over, and I don't have to study hard at home. I would like to introduce you to all my fellow students."
Zhou Lan thought about it for a moment before speaking: "Learn more from Brother Li, but my wife is pregnant. My appetite has been very bad in the past few days. I am worried about the condition of their mother and son, and I am afraid that I will let Brother Li down."
Mr. Xu Xiaolang took advantage of the situation and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Li. I have disturbed the third brother-in-law for many days, so I have to take care of the third sister. Although I can't help much with the affairs of the inner courtyard, at least I can follow the third brother-in-law to give a little hand and listen."
call."
Come on, these two people just don't want to move around. Why doesn't Li Langjun understand: "Listen to me, this is no longer Baoding Prefecture. In this huge place in the capital, there won't be people like Baoding Prefecture who are scheming. There will be a banquet with deer singing in the future.
, you can’t not know everyone.”
Zhou Lan smiled and said, "Isn't there Brother Li? I will be by Brother Li's side when the time comes. I'm afraid I won't have any friends."
Li Langjun was happy: "That's natural. When the time comes, I will introduce you to these two good brothers and get to know more of them."
Zhou Lan and Xu Xiaolangjun handed over their hands and said, "Please, Brother Li." His movements were as smooth as planned.
The fact that the brothers-in-law can get along like this and have everything figured out makes Li Langjun envious.
