Chapter 11 The Talent of the Number One Scholar
The carriage suddenly stopped due to a loud roar from the person sitting inside.
The coachman pulled hard on the reins, almost startling the horse.
Patriarch Zhang shook his head from side to side a few times, hit his forehead in pain, and subconsciously let out a hissing sound.
"Sir, are you okay?"
Chang Suizhang Bai, who was following the person, stretched out his hand and used his body as a flesh pad to stop the impact that the person was about to receive.
Treating others properly, he just whispered and angrily scolded the servant driving outside.
The coachman repeatedly apologized and begged for mercy.
"That's all."
Patriarch Zhang took a deep breath and let it out slowly and silently.
"It's not his fault either."
He was inexplicably hit by a sound that seemed to be ringing in his ears. He didn't know where it started, making him extremely upset.
But looking at Zhang Bai, it seemed that he didn't hear any sound at all.
He couldn't help but wonder if it was him who was disturbed by Song Lan's words and began to hallucinate.
"...Have you paid attention to that kid from Qingtong Lane? Is he really good at reading?"
Patriarch Zhang temporarily suppressed his disgust and asked Zhang Bai hesitantly.
Zhang Bai looked surprised.
But he quickly put away his hesitation and followed the good advice: "I've heard a few words."
"Isn't that more than good? I heard that there is a scholar who has the talent to be number one..."
Zhang Bai had never followed Mr. Zhang into the prison to visit Zhang Chi, so naturally he had not heard Song Lan's deliberate instigation.
At this moment, it was just something to say.
"The number one talent."
Patriarch Zhang smacked these four words in his mouth several times and sneered: "You actually take it seriously when people are complimenting each other."
I really don't believe that the foreigner really looks like he has great potential.
Zhang Bai didn't know the twists and turns, he just thought that the master didn't believe what he said, so he hurriedly explained.
"Hey! Sir, you have wronged me!"
"I'm really not trying to flatter you, this young master who lives in Qingtong Lane is really quite capable."
"Nowadays, on the stone notice board in front of the Zhuangyuan Building in Beijing, there is still a test paper that that person took." "Everyone says that if it weren't for that person's bad luck, there would be an accident during the exam, and I'm afraid it would be early He is the number one scholar in the current dynasty.”
"Even Mr. Su Wenheng, who was in charge of the exams twice, expressed his regret to everyone he met after passing by the Zhuangyuan Building and looking at the test papers!"
Upon hearing the name of the examiner Su Wenheng, Zhang's expression suddenly became more serious.
"Is there such a thing?"
If even Su Wenheng feels sorry for him, then this kid probably has some talent.
Su Wenheng was famous for his talent-loving and selfless nature.
"Yes!"
Zhang Bai's tone was casual: "Most people in the capital know about this!"
Then why didn't anyone tell him?
Patriarch Zhang frowned and expressed all the confusion in his heart.
Zhang Bai was very surprised: "Master Chi didn't tell you?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He was stunned for a moment and explained unconsciously: "Master Chi came to me about this matter and said that the man who has made progress in his studies might be able to take this opportunity to come to you to intercede for me and allow me to recognize my ancestors." It will be an honor for the Zhang family if I can really show up after returning to the clan.”
"That's why, Master Chi said, he wants to tell you personally."
"Because it's not a big deal after all, and you've always been unwilling to hear news about Qingtong Lane, so I didn't take it to heart."
Could it be that Master Chi didn't say anything?
After a while, he realized that he might have done something wrong.
"My lord..."
He looked at the person tremblingly, and when he saw the face that rarely changed his emotions, it was as dark as ink, and he gradually became panicked and uneasy in his heart.
"Go find out why he missed the exam."
Patriarch Zhang already had a guess in his mind.
It's just that I won't give up until I see the evidence.
"Make a copy of the test paper he made and bring it to me."
Zhang Bai immediately responded with a serious expression.
-
Song Lan learned from the feedback of resentment that the head of Zhang family had already begun to investigate the outer chamber, and he hummed a song in a good mood.
Just as he was about to turn the corner of the alley, he bumped into a hard chest
Um?
She blinked and looked at the familiar face in front of her, a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Not even looking at the road, he just bumped into people.
