Chapter 7
"Wait, why do you leave the exam room?"
When Zhao Feiyang walked to the gate of the Gongyuan, he was stopped by an old man.
The old man wore a black gauze hat and a scarlet official uniform. He had a peacock embroidered on his chest. He walked with his head held high and his aura was imposing.
Zhao Feiyang was secretly surprised. The scarlet official uniform can only be worn by third-rank officials, and among the three examiners in the examination room, the chief examiner is a third-rank official.
This person's name is Cheng Zhengyun, who was the left minister of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty. He held a high position and was well-known.
Zhao Feiyang hesitated for a moment and immediately bowed to the old man to pay homage.
"Student Zhao Ke meets Master Cheng!"
The old man's eyes were a little surprised and his anger subsided slightly, "How do you know it's me?" However, Cheng Zhengyun did not wait for Zhao Feiyang to answer, and said again, "That's right, I am the chief examiner of this provincial examination. I asked you, "You should treat you truthfully, and see, you are not a frivolous person, why do you hand in the paper now?"
"The students have completed the test papers, and staying here may affect other candidates, so they leave first and want to go home to continue to review their homework." Zhao Ke said in a deep voice.
Cheng Zhengyun appreciated his neither humble nor arrogant appearance. However, Zhao Ke said that he had finished the exam paper now, and Cheng Zhengyun didn't believe it anyway.
"You know how important this provincial examination is. Now that the court is employed, you can rise to the top once you go to high school! I think you are dressed as a poor man. Since you have such an opportunity, you will not be there once you miss it. No matter why you leave, I will give you a chance. As long as you are willing, you can return to your seat to continue completing the exam paper. How about it?"
Cheng Zhengyun's words surprised Zhao Feiyang a little.
This sounds easy, but it actually brings huge political risks to Cheng Zhengyun. Once an opponent wants to get rid of him, he can use this opportunity to impeach him.
Zhao Feiyang bowed respectfully to Cheng Zhengyun.
"Students are grateful for their kindness. It is a blessing for students to meet examiners like them. However, the students' test papers have been completed and there is no need to change them. Students have confidence in themselves."
Cheng Zhengyun sighed softly, a little disappointed.
In such a short time, even if the genius talented people were not sure how good the score could be. He waved his hand to Zhao Feiyang and signaled that he could leave. After Zhao Feiyang left, he looked at Zhao Feiyang's back and murmured, "You are too young and energetic, and you may not be able to go high school, but it's better to fail the exam. Maybe you can wake up and become a rich and talented person."
Zhao Feiyang just left like that.
A story began to circulate in the examination room. A poor student gave up on himself and handed in the paper a few hours after the exam. He also claimed that he must have high school. This matter has become a hot topic on the streets and alleys. He was discussed and ridiculed by countless scholars. Some enthusiasts asked about it and spread it several times, so Zhao Ke's name resounded throughout the capital.
Su Mansion.
Zhao Feiyang has been back for two days. Since the story of the exam room has been revealed, the eyes of the servants have changed a lot. Although he had ignored his son-in-law before, he still respected each other three points. But now, except for Xiaoliu, even the groom who raised horses for the Su family in the backyard was disdainful in front of Zhao Ke.
"Bah! I'm a useless person. I handed in a blank paper before I finished the exam! I'm just a fool. The poor lady is so beautiful. Why did she marry such a sucking pot?"
Zhao Feiyang ignored the ridicule and disdain of the servants. Anyway, the results will always come out. It is not just that the time has not come!
"Son-in-law, someone is looking for you. He is a young man. He said his name is Zhao Yifan."
Zhao Feiyang was lying on the bed and sleeping, Xiao Liu rushed into the woodshed in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he was startled. The dirty woodshed in the past changed greatly, although it was still simple and dilapidated.
, but it became much tidy. Zhao Feiyang also renovated the windows and even made some changes to the roof, causing more light to pour into the dim woodshed.
"I see."
Zhao Feiyang returned to Xiaoliu.
"Son-in-law, you are the one who is talking about the blank papers outside, right?"
"It's me."
"Then why did you get out after taking the exam for a long time?" Xiao Liu looked confused.
Zhao Feiyang was too lazy to explain to Xiaoliu, so he just changed his clothes and went out.
Outside the Su Mansion, a gorgeous carriage was parked at the door. The carriage was wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk on all sides, and the window walls inlaid with gold and treasures were blocked by a curtain of plain crepes. Behind the carriage, there were four or five solemn guards.
As soon as Zhao Feiyang left the door, Zhao Kuo, who was sitting in the carriage, leaned out and waved him.
"Brother Feiyang, get in the car, I'll take you to a good place today."
Today, Zhao Kuo was wearing a gorgeous dress and filled with the aura of a noble young man as usual.
"Brother Yifan, we agreed last time that I would invite you to drink. But I've been short of money recently, so I'm afraid you will spend money again today. But I will never forget the wine I owe you. I'll make up for it after I have a little bit of money after high school!"
"It's okay."
Zhao Kuo waved his hand, "Brother Feiyang can be so honest. So what if Yifan invites him a few more times? It is rare to find a confidant in life. I usually have very strict family education and can't find a few people to talk to. Brother Feiyang, you are the first one."
When Zhao Kuo said this, sadness flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a moment that he immediately hid it.
"I am the same as Brother Yifan."
Zhao Feiyang bowed to Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Feiyang and thoughtful. After a while, he asked, "Brother Feiyang is not like that kind of mediocre person. I don't know why he wants to marry into the Su Mansion? I'm not hiding it from Brother Feiyang. I have heard of the rumors that the eldest lady of the Su family escaped from marriage. I don't know whether it is true or false, but with Brother Feiyang's knowledge, he is far from marrying into the Su Mansion as a son-in-law!"
When Zhao Kuo knew that Zhao Feiyang was the son-in-law of the Su family, he was really shocked for a long time. Although Zhao Feiyang was not a talented person in his mind, he could still find that his knowledge was different from ordinary people in communication with him. Such a person would not be a son-in-law! Even if he was the son-in-law of the Su family, so what?
Zhao Kuo couldn't understand.
"well!"
When Zhao Feiyang thought of his life in the Su Mansion, he couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Yifan doesn't know that Feiyang really has no choice."
After suppressing for so long no one spoke, Zhao Feiyang told Zhao Kuo some of Zhao Ke’s things. Of course, he would not say what he should say, but there is no need to hide what he could know by inquiring outside.
Zhao Kuo was quite sympathetic when he learned about Zhao Feiyang's situation.
"It turns out that Brother Feiyang has such an uncontrollable thing!"
Zhao Kuo looked emotional and felt a little depressed. Zhao Feiyang was shocked when he saw him like this. Zhao Kuo's acting skills are so good? Can you empathize with this?
As we walked and talked, the distance between the two invisibly got closer. Finally, we arrived at our destination, Zhao Feiyang and Zhao Kuo walked off the carriage together.
"Brother Feiyang, do you know what day is today?"
Zhao Kuo asked.
Zhao Feiyang shook his head.
