"Ha ha……"

Sudi and the others all burst into laughter.

The people at Bai Shicheng's table hurriedly paid the bill and left.

"Good! A good friend to make. A good friend to stay away from villains. It is hard to tolerate villains."

Sudi said loudly: "This poem should be made clear."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank.

After a glass of wine, the courier smiled at Bai Shicheng and said, "Brother Bai, you are blessed. Thousands of years from now, no one here will remember you, but you will be the only one known to the world because of this poem. We envy you so much."

Bai Shicheng's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he stood up and left without saying a word.

Just like the last time he left in disgrace.

Sitting in the carriage, Bai Shicheng's face was very gloomy.

"Brother Bai, I..."

The man with a pointed chin and monkey-like face sat opposite Bai Shicheng, not daring to look him in the eye.

Bai Shicheng was extremely angry with the man opposite him.

They were having a banquet there and were talking about Zhao Lin, who was the most popular recently. They learned that Zhao Lin had ruined the poetry gathering where Bai Shicheng was trying to show his goodwill to Fu Liqing. When they heard that Zhao Lin was next door, they immediately stood up to defend Bai Shicheng. However, Zhao Lin took the opportunity to humiliate everyone at the table.

If it weren't for the need to maintain his image, Bai Shicheng would have wanted to beat this guy to death on the spot.

Bai Shicheng sighed, "Don't blame Brother Lu, it's really that Zhao Lin is going too far!"

Brother Lu said quickly, "One day sooner or later, I will destroy Zhao Lin's reputation."

The Bai family is a scholarly family with a great reputation. Bai Shicheng's elder brother, Bai Shiyuan, was the top scorer in the previous imperial examination and was highly valued by the emperor. It was normal for someone to join him.

Bai Shicheng said angrily: "I will avenge the hatred from last time and the revenge from today!"

The news soon reached the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Han Yuehua said angrily, "This rebellious son is here just to collect his debt. Bai Shiyuan is a favorite of His Majesty, so what good is there in offending his brother?"

Zhao Mingyu said, "He's trying to snatch the woman from Bai Shicheng."

"Is he worthy?" Han Yuehua snorted coldly: "Bai Shicheng is not worthy either. Miss Fu belongs to Han'er."

Zhao Mingyu nodded.

If Zhao Chenhan marries Fu Liqing, there will be many benefits for both himself and the Zhenbei Marquisate. Of course, they all want Zhao Chenhan and Fu Liqing to be together.

"That rebellious son could actually write such a poem..." Han Yuehua's face turned grim. After pondering for a while, she said, "Don't let Han'er know."

In the end, she still felt sorry for her adopted son and was afraid that Zhao Chenhan would get jealous if he knew about it and wouldn't be able to concentrate on studying and preparing for the imperial examination.

"Humph, you didn't let me know because you were afraid I'd get jealous and harm her own son?"

At the same time, Zhao Chenhan learned that Zhao Lin had written a poem called "Making Friendships" and was so angry that he threw down his pen.

"How could this damn beggar have such talent?"

Zhao Chenhan couldn't understand it at all.

It was obvious that Zhao Lin was not inferior to him at all, and he had been under his control for three years in the Marquis' Mansion. Why did he suddenly explode after leaving the Marquis' Mansion and write poems such as "Ode to the Willow" and "Making Friends" in succession?

"But even if you wrote such a poem, it doesn't matter. You've deeply offended Bai Shicheng. He's very different from his elder brother. He's extremely narrow-minded. You've ruined his good deeds and dared to humiliate him in public. You're doomed."

Zhao Chenhan sneered.

He and Bai Shicheng were both studying at Chongwenyuan, so he naturally knew Bai Shicheng's character, which was even worse than his. If Zhao Lin offended him, he would definitely try every means to take revenge.

"But this is also good. I don't have to do anything. I am still the bright and elegant young master of the Zhenbei Marquisate."

Zhao Chenhan is full of anticipation.

…

"This Zhao Lin..."

Fu Liqing was both worried and happy.

What he was worried about was naturally that Zhao Lin had offended Bai Shicheng.

There is no need to explain Bai Shicheng's background. If Zhao Lin offends him, he may be unable to make any progress in the future.

The happy thing is that Zhao Lin wrote another poem, and it was a very appropriate poem written in a very short period of time, which is enough to show Zhao Lin's literary talent.

On the other hand, Zhao Lin wrote a poem to satirize Bai Shicheng for having a relationship with her.

"Did he mean that?" Fu Liqing began to wonder.

…

The marking time for the college entrance examination is three days, which is actually very fast.

On the day of the announcement of the results, just like the county and prefectural examinations, the examinees and their relatives and friends all came to the gate of Shengjing Prefecture College to wait. There were as many as one or two thousand people, blocking the nearby roads so tightly that the Shengjing Prefecture officials had to drive them away several times before they could barely pass.

In a nearby restaurant.

Zhao Lin, Su Di, Yuan Chengwen and others came early, took a seat by the window, and waited for the results to be announced.

"Based on Brother Zhao's answers, he will definitely be the first in the court."

Sudi said, "Winning the first place in the court is like winning the first three prizes consecutively. Although it is not as impressive as winning the first three prizes consecutively, it is still a good story."

Yuan Chengwen continued, "Yes, every county has its own top judge, and every prefecture has its own top judge, but Shengjing Prefecture only has one top judge."

Under normal circumstances, there should be three levels: county, prefecture and province, corresponding to the county examination, prefectural examination and academy examination respectively, and the examination locations are also the county government office, prefectural government office and provincial capital.

But Shengjing Prefecture is special in Kyoto, as it is a municipality directly under the central government, so it is said that Shengjing Prefecture has only one chief judge.

Zhao Lin smiled and shook his head: "The results haven't come out yet, so who can determine the ranking? For me, as long as I pass, it's good enough. I'm eligible to participate in this year's provincial examination and don't have to wait another two years."

Everyone nodded.

The provincial examination is held every two years, and the metropolitan examination is held every three years.

If you miss this opportunity, not only will you have to wait two years to take the provincial examination, but you will also miss next year's metropolitan examination and have to wait another three years.

So this college entrance examination is very important to them.

Soon, the Shengjing Prefecture's academician came out personally holding a red plate. Under everyone's expectant gaze, he did not keep everyone in suspense and made a simple and direct announcement.
