Pingtian Mansion Gongyuan is also next to Ronganfang. Coming out of Guozijian Street, Su Ping continued to walk south for a while, then went half a circle to the west, and arrived at Gongyuan Square.

There are two gates in the east and west of the square. The two characters "Gongyuan" are written on the plaque in the middle of the main archway. The left and right stone arches are respectively inscribed "Seek Scholars for the Ming Dynasty" and "Seeking Talents for the Country".

There were still four days before the provincial examination, and at this time, Gongyuan only had a few soldiers standing guard at the gate.

After showing Wen Daoyuan's sign, the guard directly let Su Ping in without even a body search.

Seeing that he was so relaxed, Su Ping simply slowed down and slowly walked around the entire Gongyuan.

Pingtianfu Gongyuan was built in the Daliang Dynasty.

Over the past thousand years, it has been repaired and expanded by successive dynasties in Zhongzhou. It now covers an area of ​​800 acres and has nearly 40,000 examination sheds.

Entering from the front door, there are two levels: Yimen and Longmen.

After passing the Longmen, a bluestone slab leads directly to the center of Gongyuan.

In the center is the Mingyuan Tower, a tower that is seven feet high. Standing on it, you can see the whole view of Gongyuan.

With Zhongdao and Mingyuan Building as the boundary, nearly 40,000 examination booths are lined up on the east and west sides. When the exam starts, there will be examiners on Mingyuan Building to monitor all directions.

Looking at the seven-story tower, Su Ping couldn't help but shake his head.

The four realms of Confucianism and Taoism can provide clear eyes and night vision. If you put a few more of the four realms on this tower, I am afraid that the 40,000 candidates will not be able to escape at every move.

It is conceivable how many people hate this Mingyuan Building.

Su Ping climbed to the top of Mingyuan Tower and looked out from the window.

Such a high place is rare in the entire Yangjing. With his current eyesight, he can even see the gate of the Imperial College.

Forty thousand examination booths were densely packed, lined up in rows, and filled most of the outer curtain venue.

Looking to the north, you can see the Zigong Hall, which was built for the fairness of the imperial examinations. Its symbolic significance is greater than its practical significance.

Next to the back of the Zigong Hall, there is a manually excavated pool that runs between the outer curtain proctoring area and the inner curtain marking area. It is connected by Feihong Bridge, which is called the boundary river.

There is also a three-foot-high wall that surrounds the entire Gongyuan. It is densely covered with thorns, also known as the thorn wall.

This is only the first fence. Beyond the thorn fence, there is another fence of the same height. Every two fences are one foot wide apart. Watchtowers must be set up at every corner to monitor access.

Su Ping was watching silently, and a burst of conversation accompanied by footsteps appeared on the stairs.

"Master Shuang, I heard my brother say that when the exam starts, there will be a great scholar sitting on the top of Mingyuan Building, watching and listening in all directions. The 40,000 candidates will not even think about cheating."

A graceful figure walked up and met Su Ping's eyes, who turned around.

The two recognized each other at the same time.

"Why are you here?!"

Shen Xinlan's eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong?"

A clear voice then sounded.

A young man walked up behind Shen Xinlan.

He has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, his long hair is simply tied into a ponytail on the back of his head, and he is dressed in a moon-white cloak trimmed with silver. He looks elegant and handsome.

Even Su Ping had to admit that this boy was so handsome.

If you don't have any background, you may not be able to escape the fate of becoming a prisoner.

When the young man saw someone on the top floor, he was stunned for a moment.

Shen Xinlan bit her lip and stared at Su Ping: "What are you doing here?"

In order to have an appointment with Mr. Shuang to meet him alone, she spent countless efforts to clear the pass. Just the money she gave to the Gongyuan guards made her feel heartbroken.

The results of it?

I thought I could enjoy their time together and get closer to Mr. Shuang, but instead I saw the person I least wanted to see on top of Mingyuan Tower!

This Su Ping must have done it on purpose!

This is naked targeting and revenge!

Didn’t I just let him worship with a bunch of clothes?

Such a trivial matter was retaliated in such a vicious way.

Shen Xinlan's heart exploded with overwhelming resentment, causing her whole body to tremble slightly.

If Mr. Shuang hadn't been there, she would have wanted to push Su Ping down from the Mingyuan Building!

"Shen Xinlan? Ha~"

Su Ping's eyes paused on their faces for a moment, then he turned his head simply and continued to appreciate the scenery in the Gongyuan.

He actually ignored these two people.

"you!"

Shen Xinlan felt that she had lost face so much that her silver teeth were about to be broken.

"Miss Shen, do you know each other? Why not make an introduction?"

Mr. Shuang asked curiously.

"this……"

Shen Xinlan gritted her teeth and said with evasive eyes: "He is that... that Su Ping..."

"Su Ping?"

Mr. Shuang's voice became much louder.

Shen Xinlan felt even more ashamed and angry, and buried her head deeply.

In front of your sweetheart, introduce your nominal husband...

This is undoubtedly equivalent to giving Mr. Shuang a loud slap in the face.

I'm afraid he has started to hate himself.

However, what happened next made Shen Xinlan stay in place.

Young Master Shuang stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed: "I studied with Han Shuang at the end of my studies, and I have met Xiao Shijun."

Shen Xinlan suddenly raised her head and stared blankly at Han Shuang, who was saluting respectfully with her mouth wide open.

She had not known Han Shuang for a long time. She only knew that he was generous and knowledgeable, but her specific background was unclear.

But one thing she knew very well.

Han Shuang was an extremely arrogant person, and he always treated the powerful people in the capital without hypocrisy. Not to mention her, even when he saw the prince and his son, he didn't bother to pay much attention to her.

Absolutely an extraordinary person.

As for Su Ping, he came from a humble background and had a poor family. He could only write a pretty good poem at best.

So what if you have some talent? There are many talented people, but I have never seen Han Shuang treat those people like this...

This is not the most outrageous thing.

The most outrageous thing is that although Su Ping looked over, he only glanced at him and had no intention of returning the favor.

Immediately, Shen Xinlan felt that something she cherished so much had been tarnished, and pointed at Su Ping and said: "Su Ping, Mr. Shuang has a noble status, and his knowledge is not comparable to yours. Even the great scholars in the capital praised him, why don't you come here to see me?" ?”

A gift?

Su Ping looked at Shen Xinlan in surprise.

This woman was picked up by Duke Dingguo, right? How can she be as stupid as a barbarian with a brain that grows muscles?

The tauren didn't even say anything to his face, but he still dared to slap his nose in his face?

Strangely enough, Su Ping was not angry at all.

As the saying goes, everyone has a responsibility to care for the mentally retarded.

If you can't care, then don't hurt.

However, with this incident, Su Ping was no longer interested in staying here and walked up to the stairs.

Seeing Su Ping walking towards this side, Shen Xinlan thought that Su Ping was scared, and immediately became arrogant: "You know what's going on, if you can get Mr. Shuang to take a high look, in the future..."

"Give Way."

Su Ping interrupted her impatiently.

"What?"

Shen Xinlan didn't react for a moment.

"A good dog stays out of the way."

Su Ping said calmly, "Do you understand this time?"

Buzz…

Shen Xinlan's mind went blank.

Although Su Ping was not very polite to her last time, she never expected that Su Ping would dare to scold her.

You know, as the only daughter of Dingguo's generation, she grew up in a honeypot.

Grandpa, mother, aunt, brother, no one held her in their hands like a treasure.

Being called a dog in person, let alone happening, I had never imagined it before.

But today, Su Ping not only scolded him, but also scolded him in front of Han Shuang.

This made her feel like the world was collapsing, her brain was at a standstill, and all she could think of back and forth was, 'A good dog doesn't block the way.'

Su Ping was too lazy to wait, so he walked around her and went downstairs.
