At the same time that Fang Zhengzhi was looking at Han Changfeng, Han Changfeng was also looking at Fang Zhengzhi.
Their eyes met.
Han Changfeng immediately felt as if he was being pointed at by a sharp sword. The expression in his eyes instantly changed, and there was a faint aura surging within the sleeves of his white official robe.
"Such sharp eyes! Has this kid's edge already reached such a level? "
"Old Han!" Just at this moment, Imperial Messenger Qin, who had been standing behind Han Changfeng, suddenly opened his mouth.
Han Changfeng frowned slightly and the rolling aura on his body quickly disappeared without a trace. A moment later, Han Changfeng's expression returned to its initial calmness.
"What is it?"
"The announcement of the top three in the theory examination has been completed. I would like to ask if we should send a message to the Imperial Academy and hand it over to the Left Minister for review!" Imperial Messenger Qin immediately asked respectfully.
"The Left Minister is busy with court affairs. You can wait till the end of the combat examination and report to me at the same time!" Han Changfeng thought for a while and shook his head.
"Understood!" Imperial Messenger Qin nodded and retreated.
When Han Changfeng's gaze once again landed on Fang Zhengzhi, he no longer felt the sharpness from before. What was left was only the smile of a sunny youth.
Then, he noticed Yan Xiu, who had been standing next to Fang Zhengzhi.
After thinking for a moment, Han Changfeng quickly walked to Fang Zhengzhi's side.
"You are Fang Zhengzhi?" Han Changfeng's tone was filled with the warmth of a senior.
"Yes." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"Not bad. To be able to solve the Illustration of All Creation at the age of six and plant the Heart of Dao, your future is limitless. In this combat examination, I look forward to your performance!" Han Changfeng smiled.
"Thank you, Chief Imperial Messenger!" Fang Zhengzhi smiled back at Han Changfeng.
"Hehe … good, very good!" Han Changfeng nodded his head and turned to leave.
Fang Zhengzhi gazed at Han Changfeng's back as he left, the smile on his face still not changing at all. He didn't know what Han Changfeng's motive was, but, if one really wanted to talk about the heart of the struggle.
He seemed to have been standing on it for a long time.
"To the Full Moon Restaurant?" Fang Zhengzhi turned to look at Yan Xiu.
"Alright." Yan Xiu nodded.
Thus, the two of them walked side by side towards the direction of the Full Moon Restaurant.
On the other hand, when the scholars saw the departing figures of Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu, their faces were filled with envy. To be personally praised by Han Changfeng had always been the dream of the scholars in the world.
However, other than envy, there was also jealousy and even some inexplicable hatred.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and the entrance of the capital office slowly became empty once again. All that was left was the First-Class Roll Champion, and the three shining golden words - Fang Zhengzhi.
River of Trust Province theory examination roll champion!
…
Inside the Full Moon Inn.
In an elegant and exquisite study, Wu Yuer, who was wearing a black pleated skirt, was flipping through the books in front of her desk. The sunlight shone through the window and onto her body, adding a touch of luster to her already charming face.
"Master, Su Jiu is downstairs requesting to see you!" A young lady wearing a red dress stood respectfully at the door and said.
"Yes, let him in." Wu Yuer nodded, but she didn't put down the book in her hand.
"Yes!" The maid retreated.
Not long after, Su Jiu, who was dressed like a manservant, walked into the study. However, he only took two steps in, then stopped, not daring to take another step.
"Master, this is the account book records for the past month!" Su Jiu fished out an account book from his pocket.
"Put it down." Wu Yuer nodded.
"Yes! Master's divine calculation, Young Master Fang really took the theory examination roll champion, and earned quite a lot of money from setting up outside the capital office. However, there was a small accident. Before the results were released, Young Master wanted to place a bet, and I responded according to master's instructions. Young Master Fang had originally left, but then, because I was too impatient … he returned and bet a hundred taels! "Towards the end, Su Jiu's voice evidently became much softer.
"Yes, go to the accounts room and pay two hundred taels of silver, then find Fourth Sister to receive your punishment!" Wu Yuer's actions still didn't change at all.
"Thank you master!" Su Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and instantly retreated.
After Su Jiu retreated, Wu Yuer also put down the book in her hand, turned her head and looked at the sky outside the window, then smiled. "Only bet a hundred taels? Looks like his impression of Su Jiu isn't bad! "
"Master, Young Master Fang is here! Do you want to see him? "At this moment, the maid's voice sounded out from outside the door.
"Alone?" Wu Yuer's eyes lit up.
"And Young Master Yan Xiu from the Yan family of Western Liang." The maid replied respectfully.
"Why did you bring a blockhead, so boring … go and make arrangements first, serve him well!" Wu Yuer pouted, seeming somewhat dissatisfied.
"Yes!" The maid replied, and quickly retreated.
…
After Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu sat down in an exquisite room in the Full Moon Restaurant, the maid served a pot of fragrant tea and presented the menu.
The last time Fang Zhengzhi came to the Full Moon Restaurant, he didn't look at the menu. After all, it was Wu Yuer who was treating.
Hence, his only impression was that the dishes at the Full Moon Restaurant were not bad.
The menu was placed in front of him. As the one treating, Fang Zhengzhi naturally very politely pushed the menu in front of Yan Xiu, indicating that Yan Xiu could order whatever he wanted.
Yan Xiu really didn't stand on ceremony with Fang Zhengzhi at all. He quickly listed out a bunch of dishes of all kinds, almost twenty dishes.
Fang Zhengzhi instinctively touched the silver notes in his pocket.
Three hundred silver notes and a bag of broken silver. This should be enough for a meal.
After Yan Xiu finished ordering, Fang Zhengzhi wanted to order some fruits after the meal. Hence, he reached out and took a glance at the menu.
With just one glance, Fang Zhengzhi was completely dumbfounded.
"This is … robbery?!" Fang Zhengzhi had indeed prepared himself mentally. In his mind, the dishes at the Full Moon Restaurant would definitely not be cheap.
But, he completely didn't expect it to be so expensive.
He roughly scanned the menu. If he really served the dishes that Yan Xiu had ordered just now, he estimated that he would need at least five to six hundred silver pieces to be able to afford it.
Did it have to be so shady?
What if he didn't bring enough silver with him when he was treating?
Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to ask, could he use an IOU? After all, there was no such thing as credit cards in this world …
Just as he was troubled, someone walked in from outside. It was Su Jiu.
At this moment, Su Jiu was subconsciously touching his butt. But, the smile on his face was very respectful. Looking at Fang Zhengzhi, it was as if he was looking at a family member.
Fang Zhengzhi was also smiling.
Because, looking at Su Jiu, he also felt as if he was looking at a family member.
"Ah Jiu, congratulations to Young Master Fang for attaining the capital examination theory examination roll champion! Also, Young Master Yan Xiu attaining second place in the capital examination theory examination! "As he spoke, Su Jiu bowed towards Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu.
