Houfu Key Class

The Zong Family, the General’s Mansion.

Qin Ye stood at the door waiting for the announcement.

His father was detained in the palace for nearly a day before he was released. When he came back, he said that it was related to him and that someone had changed his examination results, which made the emperor furious.

Although it was not said in the end whether it was Zong Jincheng who did it, Qin Ye always felt that he had something to do with it.

Everyone in the key class was still studying and preparing for the palace examination. Xu Wan knew Qin Ye was coming and came out to pick him up personally.

"Hello, aunt." Qin Ye greeted her.

Xu Wan smiled and said: "Come in quickly, I will take you to find Jin Cheng."

"good."

This was Qin Ye's first time visiting the Zong family. As expected, it was much bigger than his. After walking for a while, he reached the big study room and saw the beautiful two-story building.

The sound of teenagers debating strategies could be heard in the room.

I don’t know what they were talking about, but I could vaguely hear words such as people’s livelihood and being an official. It seemed like they were arguing or discussing.

Qin Ye followed Xu Wan in. Before he could even cross the threshold, he heard Zong Jincheng shouting: "Okay, okay, I'm tired from the debate. Let's give a class lesson to calm down."

The young men were used to shouting, and shouted with great enthusiasm: "Down with Qin Ye! You will definitely hit the mark!"

Qin Ye: "…………"

Their class training...is this kind of thing?

He looked at the group of teenagers speechlessly, regretting that he had walked too fast just now, otherwise he would not have heard such outrageous slogans.

Zong Wenxiu originally thought this class training was quite shameful, but after he became proficient at hiding in the voices of the teenagers every day, he no longer felt ashamed. Until he turned around full of energy and saw the target they wanted to defeat——

Zong Wenxiu: "!!!"

"Qin...Qin Ye!"

"Qin Ye is here!!"

"????"

The teenagers screamed one after another, shocked and surprised by this person who suddenly appeared here.

Even Qin Shi, who had a better relationship with them, never came.

Who would have thought that Qin Ye would come suddenly!

Zong Jincheng ran over and asked Xu Wan warily: "Mom, why is he here? Doesn't he also want to join the class??"

This is his nightmare.

Never let Qin Ye enter the class!

Absolutely impossible! !

Xu Wan said with a smile: "The imperial examination is only half a month away. What are you thinking about? Qin Ye came to see you. He probably has something to say. Why don't you go to the small pavilion to talk?"

"Oh..." Zong Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the indifferent Qin Ye with an appraising look. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you here to show off to me that you passed the Huiyuan Lang examination?" ?”

Qin Ye couldn't understand his thoughts and walked to the small pavilion very coldly. Zong Jincheng quickly followed.

The frightened teenagers in the big study room were also curious.

"Why would Qin Ye suddenly come to Jin Cheng? Besides showing off his first place, what else can he do? He can't have a date with Jin Cheng, right?"

"They want to discuss things and discuss strategies, but there is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. They can talk about it in front of us."

"I really want to eavesdrop..."

"Me too."

Xu Wan reminded me funny: "Give up, our big study is very soundproofed."

"...!"

In the small pavilion.

Zong Jincheng sat casually on the edge of the pavilion, with his back leaning against the pavilion and one leg on the pavilion seat. He also played with two walnuts in his hand: "What do you want from me?"

Qin Ye didn't mince words and asked directly: "Did you go to the Ministry of Etiquette to correct my grades?"

Zong Jincheng was surprised that Qin Ye came here for this matter, but he went to the Ministry of Rites without announcing his name. How could Qin Ye know it was him?

However, the little devil who was deceived by Zong Zhao had already perfected his reflexes.

He snorted and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? The etiquette department is run by my family? Damn boy, you get the first place in the exam and you come to show off. You are quite arrogant, aren't you? Just wait, you are the first There’s no guarantee that I will be the first in the imperial examination!”

Seeing that he was avoiding answering, Qin Ye knew that it was difficult to talk about it.

He was silent for a long time and then said: "The emperor has found you."

Zong Jincheng raised his eyes to look at him.

Qin Ye continued: "Last night my father was summoned to the palace to be punished by kneeling. Until this morning, the emperor thought that I was the one who went to make a fuss with Luo Jingfeng in the Ministry of Etiquette."

Knowing that Qin Ye and Mr. Qin were taking the blame for him, Zong Jincheng couldn't control his careless behavior.

He quickly stood up and asked, "Are you and your father okay?"

Qin Ye said calmly: "It's okay, my father has come back, and the emperor has not punished my family. However, when we were in the palace at the end, the emperor had already guessed that you were the one who went to the Ministry of Rites."

The Zong family seems to be in peace now.

But there is no guarantee that the emperor will not suddenly attack them.

Therefore, Qin Ye came here to ask Zong Jincheng for details and to remind him of this matter.

Zong Jincheng blinked and thought that he would tell his parents soon. As long as they were here, it would be nothing serious.

After Qin Ye finished speaking, he was about to leave, but before leaving, he turned around and asked, "Am I really number one?"

The emperor said that someone mentioned him as number one. Does that mean that he was not number one in the first place?

Zong Jincheng looked at his old enemy who had been chasing him for three years, with complicated eyes and replied firmly: "The imperial examination is fair, and the list shown is true."

Even if he wanted to take first place again, he would not use any means to drive Qin Ye down.

Not only he can't, but others can't either.

Qin Ye understood.

Based on this sentence, his performance was mentioned first because...it was unfairly moved down.

And Zong Jincheng was there to bring order out of chaos.

Two young men of similar age walked side by side on the road of chasing each other, but their goals were the same and their pace was the same.

"Thank you."

After Qin Ye left, Zong Jincheng told his parents about this matter. Zong Zhao told him to concentrate on studying and not to worry about anything else.

Then the little devil plunged into study again.

However, because he had read Qin Ye's policy papers in the Ministry of Rites, he couldn't help but think of Qin Ye's ideas when he was studying hard. If he combined himself with Qin Ye's policy papers, he would definitely be stronger than Qin Ye, but this was obviously unfair.

Zong Jincheng finally realized the trouble of photographic memory.

He pounded his head and tried to clear the fragments of Qin Ye's policy papers in his brain...

In the next ten days, everyone was studying at home, and no one went out.

During this period, Zong Jincheng was so depressed that he wanted to go out for a walk, but was stopped by Zong Zhao, who said that the capital was too chaotic recently and it was easy to cause trouble if he went out.

Zong Jincheng thought so too. The palace examination was coming up soon. It was not that he couldn't bear it. After the palace examination, there was still more than a month of home leave. He could spend as much time as he wanted!

The day before the palace examination.

Xu Wan was introducing the rules of the palace examination to everyone:

"Wait at the palace gate at noon. After entering the palace, you will be arranged with seats and pens, inkstones, and paper. You will answer the questions at the feet of the emperor, and the emperor will supervise the examination. Before answering the questions, everyone needs to write a personal resume, including three generations of ancestors."

"During the examination, candidates must kneel on their knees to answer the questions, and do not eat, drink, or go to the toilet until the end of the examination."
