【066】Another commandment(1/3)
The provincial examination results have been released.
Because it is the season when sweet-scented osmanthus blooms, the provincial examination list is also called Guibang.
Since the gold rating of "Teaching War and Defending Strategies" was changed to top-A, Su Ping's total score has jumped from 72 votes, which was unbeatable to everyone, to the top of the list with 108 votes!
As soon as the Guibang was announced, the news quickly swept through the streets and alleys of Yangjing.
Until this time, everyone knew that the person who wrote "Wu Yi" was named Su Ping.
As a result, Duke Dingguo's Mansion was once again pushed to the forefront.
Inner house.
Mrs. Zhou sat upright, her hands in her sleeves clenched tightly until her fingertips turned white.
From the beginning, I didn’t think Su Ping would take part in the provincial examination, then I didn’t think Su Ping could win the examination, and now...
Jieyuan!
Still a full ticket to solve the problem!
This means that Su Ping has a very solid foundation in classics, policy theory, poetry and poetry, and he has a certain degree of confidence in both the joint examination and the palace examination.
Even if you gather all the Huiyuan and No. 1 prizes, you might become another three-yuan winner in Daqing!
Zhou thought hard and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Didn’t you say you just started studying?
In less than a year's work, you can possess such profound knowledge?
After much thought, she could only think of one possibility.
Su Ping is hiding his clumsiness.
Bang~!
The tea cup was smashed to pieces.
"How dare you harm me like this?!"
Zhou was furious and furious.
If Su Ping showed such talent from the beginning, why would he have to put so much thought into it? It was both coercion and inducement.
Xiao Zhi was moved directly by reason and emotion, and coupled with Shen Xinlan's appearance and figure, he was not afraid that Su Ping would not let go.
If you really want to refuse to agree, just give up and settle for another goal.
How can we be as passive as now, unable to advance or retreat?
This is all because of Su Ping!
"Poor mountains and harsh waters bring out unruly people, and that's true."
Mrs. Zhou finally calmed down a little, and the old housekeeper Tang Yuan walked in.
"Madam, there are many candidates coming to the door. Please see Su Ping."
"..."
The hand that had just been loosened was clenched tightly again, and Mrs. Zhou became furious: "Let them get out! Get out of here!"
"Madam...these are all candidates for the modern imperial examination."
The old butler reminded me, "I came to Su Ping to invite him to the deer roaring banquet tonight."
"..."
Zhou's anger subsided a lot in an instant.
Naturally, she didn't take one or two people seriously.
But if it were a hundred, she would have to weigh it.
What if there are several future cabinet ministers among them?
"Madam, don't worry, this old slave has dealt with these people on the grounds that my uncle is tired and resting. It's just..."
Tang Yuan said hesitantly, "There is a person coming towards the gate of the mansion. This... old servant thinks it is better to ask Madam for instructions."
"Who?" Zhou raised his eyebrows.
"A new imperial examination candidate named Han Shuang is also a candidate for this provincial examination."
The old housekeeper said.
Zhou's eyes flashed: "It's just Yayuan, why do you pay so much attention to it?"
"The one who led him here is the eldest lady."
"Um?"
Ms. Zhou raised her eyebrows and remembered what her daughter had said to her that day.
It seems that this person named Han Shuang is my daughter's ideal person.
It's okay to see it.
"Please go to the main hall, I will come soon."
Zhou ordered.
Soon, Mr. Zhou changed into formal clothes and met Han Shuang, who had made Shen Xinlan miss him day and night, in the main hall of the second entrance.
"I've met the Crown Prince's wife."
Han Shuang bowed her hands.
Zhou was slightly stunned.
I have to say that my daughter has really good taste.
This Han Shuang has delicate eyebrows and is even more beautiful than a woman. No matter where she is placed, she is probably the object of countless young girls' pursuit.
He is also polite and has excellent demeanor.
If there were no other plans, judging from the appearance alone, the Zhou family would be willing to betroth Shen Xinlan to him.
"No need to be polite."
Mrs. Zhou nodded and winked at her daughter beside her: "When friends come to visit, you have to treat them well, you know?"
"Uh, madam, you don't have to be polite. I'm here to see Mr. Su. May I ask if he is at home now?"
Han Shuang waved her hands quickly.
Mrs. Zhou's face suddenly darkened and she looked at her daughter.
Shen Xinlan lowered her head and looked away.
Of course she knew why Han Shuang was here, but she simply couldn't refuse.
Han Shuang just smiled and asked her if she could introduce Mr. Su, and she agreed without thinking.
Along the way, I just felt like my heart was pounding, and I didn't even think about the fact that Su Ping was not at home.
"..."
When Mrs. Zhou saw her daughter's appearance, she immediately understood the situation and felt very angry.
Just as he was about to shirk his words, a high-pitched singing sound came from the door of the house.
"His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has arrived!"
"???"
Zhou's expression suddenly changed.
Is it possible that the Ninth Prince is visiting at this time because of Su Ping?
Just as he was wondering, the young man ran in out of breath: "Madam, Madam... the Ninth Prince brought a large cart of books and said that he wanted to become Su Ping's disciple!"
"Become a disciple of Su Ping??"
Zhou's scalp instantly became numb.
The Ninth Prince is a good poet, this is something that Manyang Jingdou knows.
But she never imagined that the majestic prince would be so condescending and want to worship Su Ping as his disciple in such a big way!
The most important thing is... he also successfully arrived at Dingguo Duke's Mansion.
What does this mean?
Did Emperor Yongtai acquiesce to the Ninth Prince's behavior?
In the confusion of thoughts, the Ninth Prince had already walked in.
"Ms. Shen Zhou, a foreigner, has met His Highness the Ninth Prince."
Mrs. Zhou bravely bowed and bowed.
"There is no need to be polite, Madam Prince. This prince is here to see Su Ping. Where are the others?"
To be continued...
