Chapter 248 Questions before the game
The frost in the winter night froze the plum trees planted in the back house of the Zhao Mansion until they bloomed.

The flower bud bloomed quietly in the middle of the night when there was no one around, Shen Xian pushed open the door and window, and the sleeves were filled with a dark fragrance.

"Master."

Shen Xian gave a sweet and greasy cry, and jumped up and down in front of Zhao Shun.

She pointed to the plum blossoms outside the window, and she was in a great mood, "Look, sir, the plum blossoms are blooming. Today you will definitely be among the best in the test, and then it will be..."

At this time, Shen Xian felt that she should quote the classics, but she had already returned everything she learned in culture class to the teacher, and after thinking about it for a long time, she only came up with a sentence that didn't quite fit.

"That's it?"

Zhao Shun looked at Shen Xian curiously, and seeing her tangled face, he couldn't help but smile.

Seeing Zhao Shun laughing at herself, Shen Xianqiong wrinkled her nose, feeling very unconvinced.

"The time will be: Dongfeng is proud of his horseshoe disease, and he can see all the flowers in the capital in one day."

Hearing that Zhao Shun's smile deepened, he raised his hand and scratched Shen Xian's smooth and clean Qiong nose with his finger.

"Where did the lady come to see these four dissimilar sentences? If you tell them, they are designated to laugh at you."

"How is it possible, this is what everyone does."

Shen Xian was very unconvinced, this was a sentence written by a famous poet, and he only slightly modified it.

Zhao Shun read the classics and history collections thoroughly, and knew that the artistic conception of the sentence just now was completely wrong, but it is obviously not the time to reason with the young daughter-in-law.

"Okay, okay, I'll come to see you, the prettiest flower in the capital, after Weifu's high school."

"Hey hey."

At this moment, Shen Xian hadn't understood the meaning of Zhao Shun's words, and twisted her fingers twitchingly, feeling a little happy in her heart.

Today is the day of the examination, Zhao Shun was originally in a serious mood, but being disturbed by Shen Xian's few words, it made him relax a lot.

Outside the door, Liu Qing had a serious face, her nervous palms trembling slightly.

Shen Xian's eyes fell on Liu Qing's wrist, where there was a striking red rope, which Yuechan specially weaved for him yesterday, as a good omen.

"Xianggong." Shen Xian looked up at Zhao Shun, stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes, and then said softly: "I won't say anything extra, don't put too much pressure on me, some things are too hasty, and it may not be a one-time thing." Good thing."

"Yes, I know."

Zhao Shun held Shen Xian's hand in his hand, then closed his eyes for a moment, as if he wanted to take away the power from Shen Xian.

A moment later, Zhao Shun opened his eyes, only firmness and confidence remained in his eyes.

"Brother Liu, let's go. From today onwards, we will definitely have a place in Daliang's officialdom."

After hearing Zhao Shun's confident words, Liu Qing nodded heavily, and the tension in her heart gradually calmed down.

Everyone in the mansion knew about Zhao Shun and Liu Qing's participation in the examination. Er Gou even paid for it out of his own pocket and pulled up a red cloth in the yard with four golden characters written on it: title on the gold list!
"Master! You have to work hard!" Ergou looked at Zhao Shun's back and shouted loudly.

A maid with braided braids had a hot personality and shouted loudly despite Yuechan's stop: "Young Master Liu, you also want to go to high school! Sister Yuechan is still waiting for you!"

Liu Qing glanced back, only to see Yuechan hiding behind the maid and looking at him shyly.

At this moment, Liu Qing's chest was also full of fighting spirit, completely throwing away the anxiety in her heart.

After watching Zhao Shun and Liu Qing leave, Shen Xian also hurriedly made preparations, and then got into the carriage to look for Hongye.

Today is not only the day of the test, but also the mahjong parlor's Sparrow God Day every three years. For Shen Xian, this is an excellent opportunity to improve his ranking and reap his luck.

The horse's hooves rattled, and when Shen Xian arrived at Hongye's new residence, he only saw Hongye practicing boxing in the yard, each move was quite powerful, and it didn't look like a show at all.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Hongye slowly stopped her movements, and when she looked at Shen Xian, her eyes became more gentle, and she was no longer as repulsive as when they first met.

"Why did you come so early? It's still more than an hour before the start of the game."

After hearing Hongye's words, Shen Xian smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Actually, I suddenly remembered yesterday that I haven't figured out the competition system for this competition, so I came here early and wanted to have breakfast with you to learn about it."

Hongye silently looked at Shen Xian for a while, then couldn't help but chuckle, it's hard to imagine that Shen Xian at this moment is the intelligent girl Shen who was in Gyeonggi Prefecture that day.

Seeing Hongye laughing for no reason, Shen Xian was a little puzzled, and quickly looked at his attire, there was nothing inappropriate.

"I know a good breakfast stand, let's go over there and talk."

Hongye coughed lightly, and led Shen Xian out.

"Ok."

Changing the topic of Hongye quickly, Shen Xian didn't delve into it, and followed behind Hongye.

Coming out of Hongye's residence, I turned around three or four alleys.

The temperature in winter is very low, the hot air on the stalls condenses into white mist, and the lively morning market becomes hazy.

"Sell pancakes and fruits!"

The old man who made the pancakes yelled hard, his hands moving non-stop.

The white batter was hung on the round discus. When the disc was rotated, the shovel in the old man's hand was one yard, and the batter quickly became a thin layer.

With various seasonings and side dishes, a fragrant shoulder fruit becomes a shape.

Seeing that the old man is proficient in making pancakes, and the sauce he used is also very tempting, Shen Xian moved his index finger.

Pulling Hongye's sleeve, Shen Xian pointed to the pancake stand and said, "Sister Hongye, let's eat this."

Hong Ye looked at Shen Xian's index finger, smiled and nodded.

A pancake, a bowl of soy milk, simple.

Shen Xian wanted to bite into the crispy crispy, slowly feeling happy in his heart, and almost forgot what he wanted to ask.

"By the way, Sister Hongye, I thought about it carefully yesterday. There are a total of [-] people in the primary field we participated in. Even if we line up in order, we won't be able to make up the whole group in the end."

"You don't have to worry about that." Hongye swallowed the pancakes in her mouth, and then said unhurriedly: "In order to prevent someone from relying on connections to win, Tianquelou will randomly select them when arranging the competition."

"Random selection?" Shen Xian was a little puzzled, she thought it was a common advanced competition.

"That's right. The Tianquelou side will arrange 64 games for everyone. According to the card type of the winning cards and the accumulated points of the wins, the top [-] players with the highest points will advance, and then the knockout round will begin."

After listening to Hongye's explanation, Shen Xian understood that Tianquelou planned to use the combination of points competition and knockout competition to organize the competition, first to wash the sand with big waves, and then to choose the best from the best.

"I get it, it's a bit of a hassle, but it's a good idea."

There is no internet in this world, Shen Xian is well aware of the difficulty of such a random combination of contestants, the organizer's idea is good, this has been able to prevent the contestants from discussing cheating in private to the greatest extent.
