The next day, Yin Shi.

The sun has not come out yet and the sky is foggy. Now I have to light a lamp when I go out.

Jiang Zhao had already gotten up.

By the time Jiang Zhao went out, there were already many people sitting downstairs. Everyone was sitting together in twos and threes, having breakfast, and occasionally talking about something.

These are the candidates taking the exam today.

The owner of the inn and the waiter also got up early to prepare breakfast for everyone.

Jiang Zhao was also planning to go downstairs to have breakfast when she heard a voice calling her name from behind.

"Brother Jiang Zhao."

Jiang Zhao turned around and saw a handsome man wearing white clothes and holding a fan standing behind him, looking at her with a smile.

"Brother Mu Bai." Jiang Zhao replied with the same smile. "Brother Mu Bai also got up so early."

Si Mubai walked to Jiang Zhao's side in two steps, stood side by side with her, and said, "It's getting late, everyone has gotten up, and we should be the last to get up."

"Yes, today is the test, why don't you get up early? If you miss it, you will regret it for life." Jiang Zhao said while looking at the group of candidates downstairs.

After hearing her words, Si Mubai smiled and said: "Brother Jiang Zhao is only sixteen now, and he has already passed high school. Now he has to take the examination again, so what if he misses one session.

However, Brother Jiang Zhao is very talented and I think he will try out for high school today."

Si Mubai's words were not a compliment at all. The group of candidates downstairs were all in their twenties and thirties, and some even had gray beards and hair, and they were still taking the imperial examinations.

He originally thought that at the age when he had just won the first prize, he was already considered young among the candidates, but when he met Jiang Zhao during the provincial examination, he realized that he was really old.

When he first met Jiang Zhao, Si Mubai thought he had met a child prodigy. At that time, Jiang Zhao was only fifteen years old.

However, women's bones are naturally smaller than men's. Standing among a group of men in their twenties, thirties, or even forties and fifties, she looked like a corner child, which was too conspicuous.

However, Jiang Zhao passed the examination at the age of fifteen, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a child prodigy.

While the two were talking, the door behind them opened and a man in black walked out.

This man has a slender figure, sharp edges and an indifferent expression on his face.

When Jiang Zhao saw the man coming out, a smile appeared on his face: "Zhongqing, you're up too."

Wei Xiang nodded and bowed, but said nothing.

He naturally talks little, and Jiang Zhao is used to it.

Then the three of them went downstairs to have breakfast together.

Jiang Zhao and Simubai sat down, and Wei Xiang naturally sat next to Jiang Zhao, but Jiang Zhao seemed to be used to it and didn't care that Wei Xiang was sitting next to her.

In the Tianyu Dynasty, the status of slaves was extremely low, no different from that of animals.

But Jiang Zhao was able to eat at the same table with him, as if he didn't care about the difference between master and slave.

He glanced at the bookboy standing next to him. Even though his stomach growled with hunger, he did not dare to open his mouth to eat at the same table with his master.

Si Mubai waved to the book boy and asked him to sit down and eat together, but the book boy waved his hand quickly: "No... no need, young master, I will wait until you finish eating the small one before eating."

But Simubai insisted on letting him eat together: "You can eat if I tell you to. This is an order."

After hearing the two words of the order, the book boy sat down anxiously, but he looked extremely restrained and did not even dare to reach out to take something to eat.

Seeing him like this, Si Mubai frowned.

In the end, Jiang Zhao came out to smooth things over: "Brother Mu Bai, since he is not used to having breakfast with us, just wait until we finish eating and then order a table for him."

Seeing him like this, Si Mubai had no choice but to wave his hand and let him go down.

As if he had received an amnesty, the book boy quickly got off the table and looked at Jiang Zhao with grateful eyes.

"Brother Mubai, what do you think the topic of this examination will be?" Jiang Zhao bit the meat bun in his hand that was bigger than her face and brought the topic to the examination.

"Nowadays, the border is in turmoil, and monsters and barbarians are running rampant. I think it will be about monsters or border military." Si Mubai said his theme.

But Jiang Zhao shook his head: "Although the monsters and barbarians are raging, our Tianyu army can suppress them. I think this exam will not have a border military theme."

"Oh~ then, dear brother, what do you think the title will be?" Si Mubai asked.

Jiang Zhao thought for a while and said: "In my humble opinion, this exam should be about encouraging students to learn or Anguo."

After hearing Jiang Zhao's question, Si Mubai became even more puzzled. He could understand the question of Anguo, but he was very confused about the question of encouraging learning.

Jiang Zhao saw his doubts and explained: "The Tianyu Dynasty has had countless candidates take part in the imperial examinations over the years, and there are an endless number of top picks in each session, but the quality of the articles is getting worse year by year, so I will encourage you to study by reading the questions.

.”

Si Mubai nodded. Although Jiang Zhao's analysis was reasonable, he still insisted on his own question in his heart.

After all, Jiang Zhao's bet is too unpopular, and the chance of winning is extremely low.

After the three of them finished their breakfast, it was almost midnight.

"In half an hour, when the general examination starts, we'd better go to Gongyuan quickly to avoid wasting the time." Si Mubai suggested.

Jiang Zhao originally thought that there was still half an hour. Nanli Inn was very close to Gongyuan. It was more than ten minutes to walk there and he could still eat two more bites, so he stretched out his hand to grab another meat bun.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xiang walked away by the collar before his white and tender little hands touched the big meat bun.

On the other side, Simubai and his book boy also stood up.

On the way, Jiang Zhao was still thinking about her big meat buns, but before she was full, Wei Xiang carried her away.

Si Mubai on the side looked at her walking like this, shook his head and smiled, stretched out his slender white hand in front of Jiang Zhao, and there was a big fat and white meatball standing on it.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said, "Eat."

Jiang Zhao looked at Si Mubai in astonishment. She really didn't expect that such a handsome young man with such a glorious reputation would carry a big meat bun with him.

Seeing that Jiang Zhao didn't move for a long time, Si Mubai signaled with his eyes, and Jiang Zhao took the meat bun in his hand and started to chew it.

Wei Xiang, who was standing behind them, looked at this scene expressionlessly, his eyes dark and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, the group arrived in front of the gate of Gongyuan.

The gate of Gongyuan has been surrounded by water.
