Venomous Empress Reborn

Chapter 51: The Maid (1)

On the stage, Gao Yan finally finished reciting Circulation of Law.

The surroundings were quiet at first, then they started discussing softly. The students did not understand the meaning of this strategy, but they knew that it was very beautifully written. However, the adults in the men’s section knew the depths. This strategy seemed to be unintentional, but it could solve the loopholes in the law of Ming Qi in one go and make up for it.

The examiner on the stage probably did not expect Gao Yan to come up with such a good essay. Once the examiner was incredulous of the student’s work, he naturally had to test the student further. For example, Shen Miao’s painting. To be honest, this “Circulation of Law ” was more brilliant than Shen Miao’s painting. It was both well-written and practical. The examiner asked, “As you mentioned in the essay just now, Ming Qi’s law should be divided. How do you want to distinguish them?”

Gao Yan was delighted. In addition to the “Circulation of Law”, in the paper he received, there was also a question that was exactly the same as what the examiner asked. He was very grateful to the person who wrote the essay for him and thought that he would definitely reward the person handsomely when the test finished. He raised his head and replied, “It’s divided into three levels. The commercial law, the official law, and the civil law…”

Below the stage, Official Gao was already grinning from ear to ear. He had reached his current state in the bureaucracy only because of the support of the emperor and the connections he had. However, he really wasn’t a capable person. Fortunately, he had a good son, Gao Jin, who could help him deal with many things at a young age. Now that his second son, Gao Yan, had also shown such an extraordinary talent, he planned to go back to the ancestral hall and thank his ancestors.

Gao Jin was smarter than his father, so he didn’t believe that his brother could be so smart, but he had no clue how his brother got his hands on this piece of essay. It was impossible to bribe the examiner.

Pei Lang picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. His hand was still trembling. For some reason, everything Gao Yan said seemed to be imprinted in his mind. That familiar feeling made him feel very uncomfortable, and he could not calm down at all.

Su Minglang just woke up from a nap and saw that everyone around him was looking at Gao Yan with admiration. He tugged at Mr. Su’s sleeve and asked, “Father, did he do a good job?”

“A young talent,” Mr. Su said directly.

Su Minglang curled his lips, as if he could not understand. After turning around and not seeing Su Mingfeng, he asked, “Why isn’t Brother back yet?”

Mr. Su cleared his throat. “Your brother is not feeling well these days. It’s not easy for him to come today, so let him rest for a while longer.”

When Fu Xiuyi heard the conversation, he glanced at Mr. Su. Seeing that Mr. Su’s expression did not change when he mentioned Su Mingfeng, he looked away thoughtfully.

No matter what, Gao Yan did an extraordinary job today. He was able to answer the questions raised by the examiner smoothly, which dispelled the doubts in everyone’s hearts. Without a question, he naturally got first place. In the future, when people mentioned their family, in addition to Gao Jin, everyone would also think about Gao Yan.

Gao Yan left the stage proudly. This round of “Choose” ended, and the “Choose” of the women’s group began.

Feng Anning did not go on stage. She already performed well in the Guqin test and wasn’t good at anything else, so there was no need for her to go on stage. Shen Qing chose chess while Shen Yue, as expected, chose Guqin.
