Chapter 41

In the middle of Ruihe Garden, there is a large mansion, named Yaxuanju, with dozens of wing rooms in front, front, back and back, which is where the owner rests and receives guests.

In the hall of Yaxuanju, hundreds of people came to take the exam, but the treatment was different.

There were about eighty or ninety people in the front hall, all of whom were selected from hundreds of candidates. They were accompanied by several managers in the Wang family's house and several private teachers from the Wang family. The table was full of fruits, wine and vegetables, which was considered a detailed entertainment.

The back hall is different, with tables and chairs and decorations much more luxurious than the front hall. The most important thing is that they are accompanied by Wang Shu, the eldest son of the royal family and Wang Jue, the second son of the royal family. There are about twenty people in the hall, all of whom are prominent family backgrounds, including Xie Yu and Zheng Yu.

Some of the young men in the front hall looked at the back hall and felt a little uneasy, while others were full of confidence and fantasized about the young lady of the Wang family regarding wealth as a cloud, and she looked down at her graceful and graceful self, so she was able to counterattack and become the Wang family's son-in-law and a great story in Jiangning.

Although the young men in the back hall looked different, they looked down on the candidates in the front hall without exception. When occasionally turning their gaze to the front hall, the meaning in their eyes was that the group of aspiring people in the front hall were either rustic bulls or toads.

However, even the young men with prominent families in the back hall, except for some who expected miracles, most of them knew very well that they would come to support the scene and finally return with a beautiful woman. Xie Yu and Zheng Yu are not the ones who are prominent in family background and talented; the other is quite talented and famous, with a strong background.

Xie Yu and Zheng Yu each sat at a table, which was quite keen to compete, so Wang Feng and Wang Jue had to accompany them separately.

Zheng Feng was also sitting at Zheng Yu's table. Although he knew that he had no hope of passing the six arts of gentlemen, he was not a gentleman at all, so he naturally had no skills. However, his ancestors had orders and had to come to make Zheng Yu's light bulb. Zheng Yu usually had to call him second brother, but at this moment he seemed to not know him, which made him very upset, but he could do nothing.

What made him most unhappy was that his second son of the Zheng family came to serve as a foil for Zheng Yu, but one person failed to serve as a foil for Xie Yu. The person who made him unhappy was naturally Zhao Hao.

Although Zhao Hao wrote good writing and recited a good poem, he still couldn't get rid of his ignorant image - even his parents thought so, let alone Zheng Feng.

However, Zheng Yu, who was standing by, knew his intentions and took the lead in speaking to Xie Yu: "It makes my cousin, Brother Zhao, be so charming at the Peony Flower Festival that day. Unfortunately, he didn't have the courage to come today, which is a pity."

Compared to Zheng Feng, Zheng Yu was even more unhappy with Zhao Hao's absence. The revenge of a single arrow at the Peony Flower Conference that day made him feel resentful. He originally thought that Zhao Hao would not know how to participate in this bride recruitment. He would definitely crush Zhao Hao in full and vent the hatred of the goddess in public that day that day. Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao did not come, which made him feel like he was swinging his fist and hitting the empty space.

Xie Yu just smiled indifferently, but refused to answer, with a look of disdain.

Wang Feng, who was standing beside him, felt that Xie Yu had far surpassed Zheng Yu in terms of talent and demeanor. If it weren't for the big tree of the current queen behind the Zheng family, Mr. Xie would be the best choice for the third sister's wishful husband.

Wang Jue, who was accompanying the Zheng brothers at the other table, seemed a little out of his mind, and looked at the door of the front hall from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

No one knows who he is waiting for.

But Zhao Hao knew that if he hadn't appeared in Yaxuanju that day, he would probably not be Wang Jue's good brother again.

So, he came, although it was almost the last one.

At the entrance of the hall, a man in purple clothes looked like red. Under the guidance of the butler of the royal palace, he came and headed straight to the back hall.

At that moment, everyone was stunned, including the Zheng brothers and Xie Yu. Only Wang Jue laughed and quickly met him.

Zheng Yu also smiled, as bright as spring flowers: "Brother Zhao is here, it's great!"

Zheng Feng's eyes showed an excited look - if he made a mistake today, he would never be alone.

Xie Yu shook his head slightly, and the expression in his eyes condensed a few words: "Cousin, why are you doing this..."

Even Wang Shuo shook his head secretly: "Why..."

It’s nothing to be able to marry a beautiful woman, but if all the results of the Six Arts Test are behind, it’s probably a bit embarrassing.

The Zhao family playboy's image of ignorant in the minds of everyone will not change because of the stunning work of the Peony Flower.

...

Yaxuan lives in the back hall, behind the pearl curtain, a graceful figure is sitting behind the piano table, and the sound of the piano is rippling in the huge back hall like gurgling water.

A petite figure rushed over.

"Miss, Mr. Zhao is here."

Ding ~

A string suddenly broke.

"Oh...cicada."

...

At noon, in the hall of Yaxuanju, the Wang family prepared a sumptuous banquet for those who came to join the recruitment.

The wine is red for ten years old, and the food is customized by the Zhao family's Chunfeng Building. The top girls from major brothels in Jiangning came to sing and dance to cheer them up, which is no less than a poetry event.

During the meal, many people took this opportunity to toast and make friends with each other. Most people have no hope for their dream of becoming a son-in-law of the Wang family. Taking the opportunity to expand their social circle and meet more princes and grandsons with prominent backgrounds is their biggest purpose here.

After the banquet, the Six Arts Examination officially began.

Although Zhao Hao's way of attending seemed a little special, and the identity of the only legitimate son of the Zhao family made many people feel like they were friends, after entering the formal assessment, they were gradually forgotten by everyone. Zheng Feng was the only one who really cared about him.

That is like a brother and brother. Even if you make a fool of yourself, someone will accompany you. You won’t feel too lonely or too embarrassed.

Unfortunately, Zheng Feng was disappointed.

There are two tests in the afternoon, both of which are literary tests, each test takes about half an hour.

The first game, Xie Yu was the first, Zheng Yu was the third, and Zheng Feng was the fifth last.

However, Zheng Feng searched the entire list but couldn't find Zhao Hao's name.

Zheng Feng was unwilling to give up and found out the truth, but the news he received made him extremely depressed: Zhao Hao did not participate in this game, but accompanied by Wang Jue, he took advantage of this and visited the entire Ruihe Garden.

He was frowning in the examination hall. When he was extremely embarrassed, Zhao Hao was leisurely feeding the cranes.

Although I was so angry that I couldn't help it. My ancestors ordered that he had to accompany Zheng Yu in every exam throughout the whole process, and he had no choice.

The second game, the book exam, Xie Yu was second, Zheng Yu was fifth, and Zheng Feng was still fifth to the bottom.

No one knows that the reason why Zheng Feng was able to achieve two fifth-last excellent results was because the Zheng family had already arranged four candidates for the bottom in order to face the face.

First place in the book exam, Zhao Hao!

A cursive script of "Lanting Preface" is filled with dragons and phoenixes, and is magnificent. Although it is not as good as Wang Youjun's "floating like a floating cloud and agile as a shocking dragon", it is enough to crush all the rich second generation and the second generation of official present.

The examiner was also a great scholar, especially specializing in calligraphy. Seeing Zhao Hao's calligraphy, he said three times in succession, without saying a word, and directly circled it as the first.

Although Zhao Hao's calligraphy has been displayed at the Peony Flower Conference and Zheng Feng has been mentally prepared, he cannot avoid the depression throughout the afternoon.

Zhao Hao, who was regarded as a difficult brother by him, either abandoned the exam and leisurely toured Ruiheyuan for a while, or took the lead and overwhelmed the heroes, but he was crushed twice in a row. How could he be so bitter?
