Houfu Key Class

Xu Wan's mouth curled up when she heard this. She nodded and said, "Well, that's right. You have considered everything very thoroughly. You are worthy of being the youngest No. 1 scholar in our history."

"Maybe not soon." Zong Zhao smiled faintly and lowered his head to continue writing.

Xu Wan thought about it, and it was true: "Next year, Jincheng and Qin Ye will both take part in the palace examination. If the champion is really one of them, they will both be eleven years old, four years younger than you were then."

Zong Zhao did not care about his record being broken, and asked with interest: "Who do you think is more likely to be the champion?"

Xu Wan thought for a few seconds and said: "To be honest, it's not just Jincheng who is clamoring to defeat Qin Ye every day. I also want them to beat Qin Ye. After all, he is the child I have spent so much time teaching for more than three years. Who wants to be second to him? But...but that Qin Ye is really amazing. You should not have seen him yet. He has a super strong aura and doesn't look like a child at all. It's just that Jincheng's relationship with him has eased a little now. Every time I saw him before, I felt like I was going to be frozen to death by him. I don't know if this is the characteristic of the God of Examination?"

"The characteristic of the God of Examination?" Zong Zhao raised his head and asked.

Xu Wan suddenly remembered something and smiled again: "Yes, it is the characteristic of the God of Examination. The teachers were also very nervous when they saw you, so when I announced the results just now, I didn't let you go over, for fear that you would scare them."

Zong Zhao was silent for a long time and tried to explain: "They are only afraid of the identity of the general. I just don't like to talk. I don't want to freeze people to death."

Xu Wan thought for a while and said: "That's right, compared with Qin Ye, you are quite gentle, eh? Then you said that Qin Ye is so cold even though he hasn't become an official yet. If he is powerful in the future, won't he scare the whole court civil and military to death?"

Zong Zhao silently corrected: "It is possible to scare the whole court civil to death; it is unlikely to scare the whole court military."

Because Luo Jingfeng controlled the military power, the status of the military generals in the court continued to rise. They killed countless enemies on the battlefield and experienced all kinds of bloody and cruel things. It is impossible for them to be scared by Qin Ye.

Xu Wan sighed and said, "Selfishly speaking, I hope Cheng Cheng can win. But selflessly thinking, Qin Ye is talented and hardworking, he shouldn't be defeated by Cheng Cheng. But there can only be one champion in a term... Is it really impossible to select two champions?"

Zong Zhao shook his head and said, "There has never been such a precedent. Don't think about it, you will know when the results come out in half a year. Maybe neither of them will be the champion."

Xu Wan: "...! Your assumption is even more vicious. It kills both of them at once. There is no need to fight."

Zong Zhao smiled and said, "They are too young. Even if they have outstanding abilities, the ministers in the court will not agree. There will probably be a quarrel... And you know that the emperor's actions are unpredictable."

Xu Wan was almost autistic. She said listlessly, "It's so complicated. Even if they pass the exam, there will be a bumpy road ahead."

Zong Zhao saw that his wife was unhappy, and his eyes He also subconsciously softened a lot, and he comforted: "Don't worry too much, we will try to make things simple."

"Oh, yes, there are you and Luo Jingfeng in the court, um, there is still hope." Xu Wan immediately cheered up, she leaned over and asked, "Let me see what questions you are giving, are they going to make them cry again?"

Zong Zhao said indifferently: "I didn't give them such difficult questions."

Xu Wan leaned over and said: "It's them who didn't dare to cry in front of you...hiss, you were too harsh, I felt it was difficult just looking at it."

Zong Zhao said truthfully: "The examination questions are like this, they answered poorly."

Xu Wan turned her head in shock and quickly covered his mouth: "General! Stop talking, they will be devastated if they hear it, we don't plan to have frustration education."

Zong Zhao's eyebrows were all smiling.

He grabbed Xu Wan's hand and kissed her palm.

Xu Wan was so scared that she quickly let go and said righteously: "We are writing the test questions, you should be serious."

Zong Zhao chuckled and pulled Xu Wan down, and sat on his lap. The man leaned over and kissed her.

His bewitching voice rang in her ears: "Okay, be serious."

Xu Wan: "!!!"

She felt that her face was about to burst red.

What was Zong Zhao talking about?

The way he kissed and rubbed her, what does it have to do with being serious?

He almost stuck to her!

Xu Wan was kissed by him, and pulled his ears out on both sides, panting and teaching: "Be obedient, do business first."

"Oh..." Zong Zhao let go of her disappointedly, and regained his righteous face.

"..."Xu Wan was deeply impressed by the speed of his change of expression. If her clothes were not still messy, who would know that he had just grabbed her and made trouble?

When she tidied her clothes and looked over, Zong Zhao had already written a set of questions and put them over for her to choose, looking very well behaved.

Xu Wan looked up at the sky helplessly. She really couldn't do anything about him, but she learned to be smart this time. She pulled her chair a little further away from Zong Zhao and sat in a corner of the desk to start looking at the questions.

The two of them wrote and selected attentively, communicating and discussing for a whole day, and finally decided on the topic of the policy essay for the next month.

In mid-September, the results of the autumn examination were announced.

A month had passed since the end of the examination. All the scholars and boys in the capital would go to see the list. The Zong family even prepared two carriages early in the morning, waiting to see their results.

The four young boys sat in a carriage and discussed heatedly. They all felt that they would definitely pass the examination, but they were not sure what their ranking would be.

And Zong Jincheng once again valued his mother over his friends, abandoned them and squeezed into his parents' carriage. He was like a peacock with its tail spread out, chattering non-stop, with a face full of joy.

Xu Wan had long been accustomed to his boasting, but because she knew his strength, she was also in a more relaxed state of mind. She asked with a smile: "Little friend Chengcheng, although there are 300 places for the autumn examination in the capital, the candidates are scholars of all ages, and the competitors have greatly increased. Aren't you really worried that you will be at the bottom again?"

Zong Jincheng raised his head proudly: "What is there to worry about? I am the son of heaven, the successor of Wenquxing. It's just a small autumn examination, and it's easy to win!"

Xu Wan pouted and said: "Don't brag so much. If you really get the last place in the exam again, you will be slapped in the face."

The little devil snorted and said: "Mom, don't underestimate me. This time I'm not bragging. I have studied with Mr. Su for so long, and my poetry and prose have reached the pinnacle. I am invincible in policy essays and the Four Books and Five Classics. It's easy to defeat Qin Ye. You and dad just wait and see, I will definitely win the title of Jieyuanlang!"
