After entering the room, they washed up for a while - naturally they washed and changed clothes separately. They also went downstairs and ate the meal that the waiter had prepared.
Just as Lan Chen still seemed like a human being, Xiaotian was like a starving ghost reincarnated. Even though Lan Chen was already burping, Xiaotian was still immersed in eating, and complained that he hadn't eaten enough for several days.
After he was full, he had to kowtow to Lan Chen to show his gratitude.
Lan Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, why is this Xiaotian so crooked? If he keeps talking to himself, he will almost become his father.
"Waiter, please bring some more plates of meat and vegetables, make them bigger." Lan Chen raised his hand to signal, then paused for a moment before continuing, "Here are some more wines, I haven't had them for a long time, so I can satisfy my craving."
"Okay, guest."
The waiter brought a bottle of wine, and at the same time looked at Lan Chen warily and asked, "Sir, do you really want to drink?"
"Why not?"
"It's okay, it's okay. It seems that the guest officer is really confident. I wish the guest officer a good start and come out on top!"
"Huh?" Lan Chen was slightly stunned, what is this?
"Is it possible that Mr. Lan is not here to take the exam? Uh... hiccup! Haha... Forgive me, I'm full."
"It's okay...what did you just say?"
"Come to Beijing to take the exam. There will be exams in the capital in the next few days. Didn't you notice that even Qinggang Town is overcrowded? They are all here to take the exam."
"That's it." Lan Chen nodded, and at the same time recalled everything about 'taking the exam'.
Taking the exam is very similar to the ancient imperial examination in the original world.
But because this world has ‘miraculous powers’, there are many differences both in form and content.
The exam is taken every two years.
Location, Beijing.
It is divided into two parts: civil and military examinations. In addition to poems and songs, the essay also includes laws, arithmetic, political theory, etc. Among them, there is also the theory of miraculous powers, which is the study of miraculous powers, and the jurisdiction of those with miraculous powers.
Wu Ze is a little more complicated and is divided into two parts.
Martial arts practitioners are tested on their long stack, carbine, level shooting, foot shooting, cocking the pass, holding the weight, etc.
Those with miraculous abilities will be tested on their realm, use of miraculous abilities, etc.
Finally, there will be another major martial arts test, and that is the ring competition, where martial arts practitioners and those with extraordinary abilities mix and fight to determine the strongest one.
And this arena competition can be regarded as a prosperous period of the Daqian Dynasty. It is said that it will be packed with people, and even the Holy Emperor himself will come to watch the last competition.
At the same time, there are also age requirements for martial arts examinations. In a word, everyone is in their prime. Those who are old and healthy should not join in the fun. What they are looking at is the "future" of the Daqian Dynasty.
Civil and military examinations are divided into rankings and rewarded. Those who are on the list are given officials.
In the past, there were many people who took advantage of this to become the number one scholar and become famous all over the world.
What’s interesting is that since the start of the examination, there have been only two top picks in previous years. In other words, no one has ever won the top two prizes, and there has never been a talented person with both civil and military talents who can suppress all directions!
It's just that those martial arts practitioners who have no extraordinary abilities are suffering. Although they are all in the "Martial Arts Examination", the top scorers in the martial arts examinations, and even those who are on the list, are all those with extraordinary abilities.
Their exams are more like a joke. Although it is not laughable, it still makes people feel shabby. The best people often don't even get an official position, and they are fooled by being rewarded with some real money.
In fact, it is bearable, but once you are on the list, you are often dragged into the army, starting as a soldier...
But ah, the 'school captain' above him clearly lost miserably to me in the martial arts competition. However, because of his extraordinary powers, he became his immediate superior. Who could endure this humiliating situation?
.
This is fate, those with miraculous abilities are the most powerful among those who are powerful, and they are just small characters throughout their lives.
For some reason, thinking about this, Lan Chen inexplicably recalled Sun Miaomiao's voice and smile. It was said that the Sun Mansion in Huadu at that time also used this examination method to select a son-in-law.
It took some time to say goodbye like this, but because Xuzhou was too busy to leave, Lan Chen never went back to visit Sun Mansion in Huadu.
I shivered and felt a chill down my back.
A very terrible fact suddenly occurred to him.
Strictly speaking, he was still the son-in-law of the Lin Mansion, and the engagement was still ongoing, and yet he went to the Sun Mansion to make a big fuss. Although he deceived the head of the Sun Mansion, he was able to go smoothly.
Escape and leave the mess to Sun Miaomiao to clean up.
But it really doesn’t make sense.
At this time, he could only pray secretly in his heart, don't let the two families meet, otherwise... he might have to peel off several layers of skin!
"Master Lan? What do you think? Why do you feel you are still a little scared?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Lan Chen panicked and hurriedly took a few sips of wine to calm down his shock.
"It seems that Mr. Lan just happened to pass by Qinggang Town and had intended to go to Beijing? It seems that you are drinking so intemperately."
Lan Chen couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He was drinking by himself, so what did Guan Xiaotian have to do with him?
"What? You don't drink?"
"If you don't drink, I'll have to take the literary test."
"Oh? So you are also taking the exam?"
"I think except for you, basically everyone is taking the exam."
"Okay, then first I wish you the top prize in high school." Lan Chen congratulated with his hands in hand.
After Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, he followed Lan Chen's example and made the gesture of raising his hands.
"What do you want to learn from me?"
"Hahaha... No way!" Xiaotian was a little panicked, but he quickly recovered his mood and said, "I think you are also a talented person, why don't you take the exam?"
"I just found out about it, so I don't plan to join in the excitement. Besides, if I go to participate now, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
"That's not possible. The exam will start at noon the day after tomorrow, and you still have time to submit your name to participate. What? Mr. Lan doesn't want to join in the fun?"
"No, no." Lan Chen waved his hand, he no longer needed to take the exam to get an official position.
As for making a name for yourself?
That is something even more unimaginable.
Speaking of which, being summoned by the Holy One and receiving a reward will also make him famous all over the world...
"By the way, Xiaotian, you only take part in the literary test?"
"You see, I am so small that I am not allowed to be chased and beaten by those rough old men?"
"Hahaha, that's right. Tsk! This wine is not bad, but it's a pity that you can't enjoy it. When your literary test is over, I'll treat you to a drink."
"Is this what you said? Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
Although Xiaotian didn't drink, the two of them chatted happily, just like long-lost friends, and they felt like they had met at a late date.
With the help of Xun Yi, Lan Chen reached out his hand and wanted to pinch Xiaotian's face.
Dimly, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Xiaotian's resistance, and this displeasure seemed more like he was on guard against something.
But when he pinched his face and rubbed it up and down, Xiaotian just laughed happily.
"Master Lan? What are you doing?"
"I may be drunk. Why do I feel like you look a little like a monkey after washing up?"
A trace of gloom passed through Xiaotian's eyes, but he calmed down again and smiled cheerfully, "I see, Mr. Lan's drinking capacity is not that great, and he starts talking nonsense after this."
