Chapter 76: The Emperor's Inscription (please click on it)

Early in the morning, Dr. Qin brought a clerk downstairs to call people. Chen Ao was sleeping well, but when he was disturbed, he felt dissatisfied. He turned his shoes and went to open the window to see which was an unsightly person disturbing his dream. When he saw that the man was wearing a doctoral uniform, he felt very decent and felt weak.

Chen Ao thought to himself: "Is it because of handing in the papers early yesterday that the prisoner wanted to settle the score later?" It's so dangerous, it seems that today is not easy!

Chen Ao did not dare to delay, so he quickly put on his clothes and hurried downstairs. He met Zhou Heng who was awakened in the railing. Zhou Heng rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Cousin, you are finished now. You hand in the paper early, and you have lost the face of our Imperial College. Lord Jijiu will not let you go."

Chen Ao ignored him, and Zhou Heng chased after him and said, "That book of Wu Meiniang, please give me back! Accumulating some good deeds may lead to overcome this difficulty."

Khan, this kid is so good at talking nonsense that he can actually combine a mischievous book with the matter of handing in advance! Chen Ao still ignored Zhou Heng, hurried downstairs, left the dormitory, and saw Dr. Qin looking at him with a strange look on his face.

Chen Ao cheered up his spirits, walked step by step, and said rudely to Dr. Qin: "I don't know what Master has to give."

Dr. Qin looked him up and down and asked, "Are you Chen Ao who handed in the paper early?"

"I was really hurt by the little princess." Chen Ao sighed in his heart, but still said calmly: "I am Chen Ao."

Dr. Qin nodded and said, "Follow me, Lord Jijiu wants to see you."

Chen Ao felt a little guilty. He didn't know how these old men would deal with him at that time. He could enter the Imperial College. The Duke of the State has put a lot of effort into it. Chen Ao was also very grateful to him, but if someone was kicked out, how could he be worthy of the Duke of the State? It was not easy to explain to her aunt. She valued herself very much and carried a lot of expectations. What kind of face would she have to see her then!

By the way, there is Chun'er. Chen Ao remembered that day again. Chun'er was lying on the sickbed, holding his hand, crying, and said, "Brother Shen, you must study hard and study hard."

When Chen Ao thought of this, he felt a little sad and followed Dr. Qin with all his thoughts.

When he arrived at Chongwen Pavilion, Dr. Qin went in to report first before he attracted Chen Ao to go in.

Chen Ao thought it through clearly. Since he had arrived at the Imperial College, he would never leave. No matter what method he used, he would stay.

Now that he has the care of others and he has more concerns, he must not let them down.

When I saw Lord Jijiu, it was the first time I got so close, Chen Ao looked at him carefully.

Tang Yan was also looking at Chen Ao, coughing, and finally put on the air of Master Yan, stroked his beard and said, "Are you Chen Ao?"

Chen Ao said: "The student Chen Ao has met the adults."

Tang Yan said slowly: "You are the one who handed in the paper early?"

Chen Ao said in his heart: "It's true, how should we answer?" His eyes fell on Tang Yan, and his mind quickly started to work. He had to find a good excuse. No, Master Jijiu was dressed neatly and was not angry and was a very serious person. If you make excuses like this, it would make him dissatisfied; excuses are always just excuses, and if you say too much, it would make people look down upon them; then just admit it honestly, report the whole story, and try to forgive!

Chen Ao was about to speak, but Tang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Since it is the first exam, how can you let it be so irritating? You can sit down and talk first, come and pour tea."

Chen Ao first heard his tone of indictment, but when the tone changed, it seemed that the stick was raised high and hung low on his head.

Please sit? Have tea?

Wow, what kind of treatment is this? Will there be fraud?

Chen Ao was also generous. Since people asked him to sit down, wouldn’t he give him face if he didn’t sit down? So he sat down and waited for a clerk to pour tea, and he took a sip of tea without hesitation.

Tang Yan laughed and said, "You are so rude. Forget it, I will tell you openly. This is the first exam, the Minister of Rites has listed you as the first place."

Chen Ao couldn't drink the tea anymore, and he widened his eyes and couldn't believe it. Then, he became calm again, first, no wonder, the sacrificial wine was so good to me today, and there was still tea to drink when I arrived at Chongwen Pavilion.

Tang Yan became kind at this time and asked Chen Ao about his family background. Chen Ao felt relieved and answered like a stream.

Tang Yan continued to smile and said, "That's it. Although you are lucky enough to be able to enter the Imperial College, your family is not well-off. It is still rare to live in the Duke's Mansion and study hard."

Chen Ao thought to himself: "I want to be more fortunate to study at the Imperial College. There are too many second-generation officials in the Imperial College and it is very stressful. Unfortunately, the Imperial College doesn't accept me!" He said: "Sir, I'm too rewarded. I just had a sudden inspiration, and I got some inspiration."

Tang Yan nodded repeatedly and thought to himself: "This person is very modest, very good! He can be neither arrogant nor impatient at a young age, and sooner or later he will become a great man!" He asked again: "Which gentleman did you study in the past?" He was a little curious. It would be impossible to write such good words and write such good poems without the teachings of good teachers.

Chen Ao said: "I have studied with Chen Ji and Chen Gong for a while."

Tang Yan was stunned and then looked up solemnly: "It turns out to be Mr. Chen, no wonder. It is said that Mr. Chen has always lived in Duke Qi's mansion. It is a great fate that you can get to know him." He thought to himself: "It turns out to be Mr. Chen Ji's disciple, that's a treasure."

Who is Chen Ji? He was born as the top scholar, and he has a strange temper. No one would accept him as a disciple. Chen Ao must be gifted by his disciples. Otherwise, how could he accept this disciple with Xianggong Chen?

It seems that I have found a treasure. With this Shen Ao, Imperial College can be proud.

Tang Yan treated Chen Ao even more differently, so he asked Chen Ao to sit closer, ask some trivial matters, and ask him if he was used to living in the Imperial College.

After asking about the well-being, Chen Ao was flattered; Khan! It seems that it is the same in any era. Top students are top students. This treatment is different from before! At the moment of admission, no one came to ask whether he was used to living or not! He could live even if he was used to living, and he could live without having the ability to live, but now it is different. Chen Ao found something special from Tang Yan's eyes. How should he say it? He should feel relieved.

After almost the question was asked, Tang Yan could clearly understand Chen Ao's background. Of course, these backgrounds were probably forged.

Tang Yan said: "Chen Ao, this first place in the first exam, the official has already made a statement and will write an inscription specifically for you. Haha, the official has written an inscription for you. How glorious is this."

The inscription of the official family? What a good thing, Chen Ao's eyes shone, and he asked quickly: "Sir, since it is an inscription, can I choose which words to ask the official family to write?"

Tang Yan was shocked. This man was so brave. It was already very good for the official to write an inscription for you. You should thank the Lord for your kindness in fear, but you even put forward the conditions.

But then again, the official only said the inscription, but did not say that Chen Ao was not allowed to ask for the inscription, so he said, "It should be possible."

Chen Ao smiled and said with confidence: "Sir, I want to submit a memorial and ask the official to write an inscription for me!"
