To raise a child?

Zhao Ce suddenly thought of what happened in the past two days.

It was nothing more than saying that he had cheated and that he had friendships with several of the examiners and the chief examiner.

There is something fishy about him, Huiyuan, who is good at experimenting.

But what they didn't know was that he, Yang Tinghe and others were really not familiar enough that they could cheat for them.

Therefore, Zhao Ce thought that this time, he really won the first place because of his talent.

So he was not afraid at all.

Su Cai'er, who was standing by, thought they were just like those who came to congratulate yesterday, and asked, "Husband, do you want to prepare a banquet?"

Preparing a banquet? Junqu Pavilion

Zhao Ce smiled, pulled Su Cai'er and said, "That's okay."

Then asked Lao Zhang: "How many people are coming outside?"

Lao Zhang made a rough calculation: "There are about thirty or forty people."

so much?

That would have to be done several times.

"You watch Tingdu order some food and wine, and I'll go out to meet them."

After Zhao Ce finished speaking, he left the main hall.

All the food and drinks were prepared at home. After Su Cai'er gave the order, the kitchen quickly started preparing for the banquet.

...

At this time, outside the gate of Dingxihou Mansion.

This group of people went directly to Dingxihou's mansion, gathered outside the door, and loudly asked Dingxihou to come out.

Gu Dingchen was pushed forward with a helpless look on his face, planning to wait for Dingxihou to come out, apologize to him, and then find an opportunity to slip away.

The door creaked open.

Zhao Ce, dressed in regular clothes, appeared in front of everyone.

"It's Marquis Dingxi, he's out!"

"Marquis Dingxi, you won the first place in the examination this time. I would like to come to see your article in this examination!"

"Yes, this is the fourth place in this examination, Gu Dingchen from Zhejiang Chief Envoy Department."

"He also kept silent about his own articles on the court and was willing to let us take a good photo together."

Although this group of people are stupid, they are not fools.

He didn't say at the beginning that he was here to cause trouble.

Instead, they pulled Gu Dingchen out and wanted to compare Gu Dingchen's article with Zhao Ce's.

If they find that Zhao Ce's article is not as good as Gu Dingchen's, then they will have a real reason.

In fact, every year after the examination, major bookstores will go to copy the collections of ink by Wei who passed the examination, print them out and sell them to these students.

But by then, everything has fallen into place.

If they want to cause trouble for those who are questioning, they have to take advantage of the time when the results have just come out.

Bring the top talents from Nanzhili over and compare them, and you will know everything.

After everyone finished speaking, they turned to Gu Dingchen in front.

Wait for him to speak.

Gu Dingchen was not as embarrassed or full of fighting spirit as they imagined.

Instead, he said happily: "Is it you?"

Zhao Ce nodded slightly to Gu Dingchen and said with a smile, "We meet again."

Gu Dingchen bowed his hands to Zhao Ce in front of everyone, with gratitude in his words.

"It turns out to be the Marquis of Dingxi."

"Thank you for your help that day."

Zhao Ce took a few steps forward and helped him.

"polite."

Gu Dingchen never expected that the person who helped him that day was the Marquis of Dingxi who had been granted the title of Marquis based on his merits at such a young age.

And this person also won the first place in this examination.

No wonder the second and third placers in this exam had no objections to his results.

What does Gu Dingchen have to be dissatisfied with?

He happily said to Zhao Ce: "To be honest, after that day, I actually counted them."

"Oh?" Zhao Ce said with interest: "Can we count them?"

After a cordial and friendly meeting, the two people here began to discuss academic issues together.

Behind them, a group of people who wanted to come to cause trouble were ignored by the two of them.

Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore and interrupted the two of them.

"Brother Gu and Marquis Dingxi knew each other before?"

Gu Dingchen said happily: "It's not really acquaintance. Dingxihou once helped me out on the street."

At this time, Gu Dingchen was also a little happy that he was powerless and came from a humble background.

Otherwise, these people would not have dragged him over by force.

Without dragging him over, how could he meet the person who had helped him before?

"Help you out?"

Gu Dingchen thought about the purpose of everyone coming today, and he suddenly got his thoughts on it.

He smiled and said: "Not bad."

"Speaking of which, after the last rescue of Dingxihou, I left you with a question."

"I wonder if anyone here knows how many 'Confucius said' there are in the "Four Books"?"

As soon as this question came up, everyone was dumbfounded just like that day.

"More, how many 'Confucius' are there?"

What's the problem?

But since Gu Dingchen said this, he must have known it.

Then someone asked: "So Brother Gu, have you counted them?"

After hearing this question, everyone looked at Gu Dingchen with curiosity.

Zhao Ce took the opportunity and said from the side: "Since you want to come to ask for advice, it is not good for you to stand at the door all the time."

"Come in first."

"My wife has prepared a banquet. You can chat while having a drink."

A group of people who came to the house to cause trouble were invited into the Dingxihou Mansion in a confused manner.

Looking at the table full of sumptuous banquets and drinking some fine wine, the atmosphere became lively.

Gu Dingchen was also unambiguous and actually silently said all his articles on the spot.

Zhao Ce had already kept silent before.

He was not stingy and took it out directly.

In this examination, the two answer sheets of Wu Jing Kui were placed in front of everyone.

The atmosphere was lively, and everyone was drinking wine while discussing the two articles of the leader.

"Brother Gu deserves to be ranked second in the Nanzhili Township Examination. This article reads with sincerity and is full of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. He is indeed worthy of being the leader of this classic."

Gu Dingchen shook his head: "I think Dingxihou's article is indeed better."

"Previously, Marquis Dingxi represented Taoism in a debate on Buddhism and Taoism and won against the Buddhist Master Zaba."

"This time, his article can be said to be a blend of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and all kinds of scriptures can be said to be at your fingertips."

"The last policy question made my eyes shine even more."

He took out Zhao Ce's answer sheet for the last game and showed it to everyone.

"Look, this policy question gives detailed methods to control the river!"

“It really means what it says.”
