Sixty-fourth dragon scales (5)

Unexpectedly, the ten-year-old Jie Yuan was indeed very popular at the Luming Banquet. The examiner saw that he was old, but his temperament was outstanding, and he appreciated him very much. He also wrote a handwriting and gave it to him. The other people present had their eyes red when they saw it! Who wouldn't know that the examiner of Chongzhou this time was Lord Cui, a scholar specially appointed by the current scholar. He came from a scholarly family and was very knowledgeable about his knowledge. He had a few words, and was undoubtedly better than reading for ten years.

Originally, there were many talents, but it was very indignant that Jie Yuan's title was taken away by a ten-year-old child. However, this guy was very good at pretending to be good and begging to Lord Cui. Their eyes were red with jealous eyes, but they did not dare to show it in front of Lord Cui. No one would know that he was a narrow-minded person. Therefore, everyone could only force themselves to smile politely for Linglong's attention.

When he learned that Linglong would not participate in the next year's examination, Mr. Cui was a little disappointed, but he still understood more. He had seen many prodigy who could recite poems and write essays at the age of three, but he had seen more of them. It was the fall of these prodigy. The Linglong family was able to realize this, which shows that they were still very concerned about him.

After all, this is really too old. Even if you take the imperial examination next year, you may not be able to get a good ranking. The most important thing is that your child must be calm.

So he touched Linglong's head. The child was really likable: "Still seven years later, I will wait for you in the capital. If you can do it, you must call me "teacher."

This is a tactful expression of wanting to accept him as his disciple. The shopkeeper next to him was happy and blinked, and replied without hesitation: "Okay."

The eyes of a group of jealous students were red again!

After the Lu Ming Banquet ended, Linglong and the shopkeeper Fang embarked on a journey back home. The family knew that he had learned about the Yuan Dynasty and was so happy that he had been crazy about the exam! Even the eldest sister Rao and the second sister and the third sister went back to their parents' home, brought a lot of food and food, and brought their three brother-in-laws too!

Among the five golden flowers, the big girl, two girl and three girl are still old, so they married each other under the help of the shopkeeper. Although the brother-in-law’s family background is not obvious, they are all good people with good character and harmonious family background and good to their sister. In addition, a promising brother-in-law, it would be even better to treat his wife! When he learned that Linglong passed the exam, the three brother-in-law alone raised a sum of money to invite him to drink.

The villagers of Daliushu Village couldn't believe that the scholar from this village next door had been taking the exam for more than ten years but had not passed the exam. The Liubao from Old Man Liu's family passed the exam at the age of ten?!

This is amazing too!

So Linglong felt that she had become a gorilla in the zoo. Every time she had all kinds of people coming to visit her home. Mei said that her name was congratulations, but in fact she wanted to see if he had three heads and six arms.

A juren can be an official, and the county magistrate has also come here a few times in person, and is more friendly to Linglong. His own son has no hope, and he is still struggling in the examination line of the hospital! He just wants to make a good relationship with Linglong. If Linglong becomes successful in the future, he can also gain some connections.

Mr. Mei let Linglong Xiaoyao live happily for half a month, and then he grabbed him into school again to continue his studies. His disciple was lazy and casual, just like a donkey that was pulling. If you don’t throw him a few whips, he won’t leave.

He spent a serious life with Mr. Liu and the shopkeeper Fang and others. It was not that he would not allow him to continue the exam, but that he was too old and it would not be beneficial to end up too early. The exam was more difficult and the conditions were more difficult. Not only did he have to learn well, but he could not be in poor health. A ten-year-old child really might not be able to withstand it.

Old Man Liu and Shopkeeper Fang remembered Liubao's sluggish appearance after the provincial examination. They agreed and nodded in agreement.

Linglong stayed at home for another seven years. During these seven years, the shopkeeper's restaurant was opened to the government office! The family also had a reversal change. All five sisters married, one better than the other. After marrying, they also had both children. The family was no longer poor, and they only offered him to study alone, which was more than enough.

However, I had to go to Beijing to take the exam, and Linglong didn't want anyone to accompany me, so I was not a ten-year-old child. The shopkeeper of Fang decided to choose two book boys for him, both of whom were quick-witted and diligent, and could take care of Rao. When I sent Linglong to set off, even Mr. Mei, who had always been elegant and elegant, had red eyes.

His family repeatedly told him to go all the way, and it would take more than half a month to rush from Tongping County to Beijing. Therefore, Linglong set off and was still chilly in the spring. Although he was healthy and lively from the beginning, how could he not worry in his family?

After getting on the carriage, Linglong lifted the curtain and waved to the family: "Dad, mother, godfather, sir, sister and brother-in-law, I'm leaving!"

Everyone's eyes were red, and their nieces and nieces who were walking in conversation called their uncles, and they staggered and wanted to climb into the car. Linglong usually plays with these Doudians because they are bored, but in fact they are unilateral bullying. But Doudians are not angry with him, but they like him very much and often stick to him.

My son is seventeen, and Old Man Liu has also thought about making a marriage for him. You must know that since he was admitted to Liubao, there have been many villagers in the village who have been married! Old Man Liu and Wang were almost confused. Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the house had seen the world and did not agree with the old brothers who had been engaged to Liubao so hasty. In his opinion, Liubao has a bright future and will have a better choice in the future. Why should we be anxious for a while?

As for Mr. Mei... Mr. Mei is not in a hurry at all. He has no wife or children in his life, so why should he still live happily? Even if the student never gets married for the rest of his life, he will support him.

The two book boys bought by the shopkeeper Fang, one is called Sijin and the other is called Bajin. They are twins, four jin lively and eight jin. They have been following Linglong five years ago and are already familiar with their young master's living habits.

The shopkeeper Fang was afraid that Linglong would not eat well on the way, so he asked Bajin to learn cooking skills from him for two years. Bajin was willing to work hard and was not stupid. Although he could not learn Fang Zhangkeeper Fang's cooking skills by 10% but still had seven or eight points.

I bought a carriage, and I drove a carriage for four kilograms. In addition to changing clothes and books, the most common thing in the carriage is to eat... Inspired by Linglong, the shopkeepers in the house have been making new foods, otherwise the name of the restaurant would not have been so well-known. In the past, the shopkeepers in the house could have evenly divided the scenery, but now they are the shopkeepers in the house dominate.

"Young Master, the road is a bit bumpy, you can sit down!"

Sijin is a chatterbox, while Bajin doesn't like talking. The two brothers have different personalities, but they look the same and there is almost no one in the same way.

Linglong opened the curtains and looked at the uneven ground, and sighed. Today, it was really not a thing. The official road was so difficult to walk, and I didn’t know that I would send someone to repair it. I was afraid that my butt would not have turned into several petals after the journey.

He was bored in the car and ran out. The scenery outside was pretty good. The distant mountains were stretching and green. Even the air seemed very fresh. It was just getting farther and farther away from Tongping County and was slowly invisible.

Linglong didn't have that kind of sadness of parting. He was thinking that he could have a few breaths left when he arrived in the capital for half a month. So after improving the examination room environment, repairing the official road became a major matter for him after he became a marquis and prime minister.

One of the major reasons for the blockage of news in ancient society was the inconvenience of transportation!

However, as the journey went, Linglong discovered something very strange, that was, it was so smooth.

It's really going well.

It’s not that it’s not going to be a robber, but when you go out, it’s inevitable that there will be inconvenience, especially when you go to the city, you first look for an inn, and secondly, you can eat. Linglong and delicious food, and you have plenty of time. Every time you go to a place, he will wander around. It’s not like taking exams or on an outing. Even if you talk less, you often have a smile on your face.

The strange thing is here. Every time they go to a place, they can stay in the best inn and it costs money. Secondly, the shopkeeper and the pavilion came here to provide an introduction, and accompanied him out for a walk, as if someone had arranged everything behind his back. Linglong just had to eat, drink, play and enter Beijing and it was done.

This person could never be Lord Cui.

Although Linglong and Lord Cui have no name as teachers and students for the past seven years, they have a friendship between teachers and students. The two often write letters. Although they cannot meet, their relationship is getting deeper and deeper. Linglong knows his new teacher very well. In modern society, he is a super technical resident, who is devoted to learning and even forgets his own meals. Can he do such considerate things?

However, the person behind the scenes has no malice to him. He is a fool who doesn’t take advantage of the free gifts. He also saves the price of the top scorer and runs around to make some money. Isn’t it good to go directly to the inn to wash, change clothes and eat?

So, along with the journey that should have been a little more than half a month, I walked for a whole month and had more than three more.

There are many candidates for the exam this year. The Beijing Inn is crowded with people. Those who come a little late can only sleep in a large shop with ten people per room. Although Linglong came late, she still had a good guest room waiting for him. However, this time he did not stay because Lord Cui sent someone to book an inn for him early.

The servant who came to greet Linglong was suddenly at a loss. No, what happened to Mr. Liu? He enjoyed his girl's arrangements for food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way. Why did he leave without turning around when he arrived in the capital? What does this mean? Nothing else, at least ask who the master of his family is? Is Mr. Liu not curious?

Really, Linglong is really not curious.

No matter who is full, he is full. Anyway, the other party takes the initiative to deliver it to the door, and he accepts it reluctantly. Then he doesn't want to accept it now, but if you want him to repay his kindness, I'm sorry, sorry, it's impossible.

It wasn't he who asked for it on his own initiative, right?

The servant went back and reported tremblingly, and the girl behind the screen chuckled: "He still has this kind of temperament."

It's really... scary, love, and miss it.

The servant knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak. The girl said, "It's done, you go down."

Linglong had no idea about a girl who was secretly thinking about her own affairs. He was different from his peers. The son of the county magistrate's family was three years older than him and began to miss the girl early on, but Linglong had no idea about this at all. Even if Old Man Liu had no son, his arrival could not continue the incense for Old Man Liu's family.

After entering the inn to make some reservations, taking a bath and changing clothes, Linglong went to visit Lord Cui with the local specialties he brought from his home.

After seven years of not seeing each other, Mr. Cui has become a bachelor of the second-rank Hanlin Academy. When he learned that Linglong was coming today, he took a day off and got up early to bathe and change clothes and incense. The wife frowned and thought that her master was just a sloppy guy who studied knowledge and didn't care about anything. Last time he dressed up like this, he married her to the family. What does this mean?

Lord Cui finished tidying up his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, turned his head and saw that his wife was still the same pair of thorn hairpins and cloth skirts. He immediately said, "Why haven't the wife changed her clothes and dressed up? Someone will come later."

"Master, who are you here?"

The couple had only one daughter, and they had already got married. They had been together for a lifetime and had no airs at home. Mrs. Cui was gentle and not luxurious. She would usually raise flowers and grow vegetables by herself. Mrs. Cui didn't think his wife was so embarrassed. Instead, she felt wild and wore simple clothes at home in her spare time. She even dug the ground! It was precisely because Mrs. Cui had such a temperament that the emperor used him with great confidence.

"Look at my brain." Lord Cui slapped his forehead, "Seven years ago, I was ordered to go to Chongzhou as the chief exam. That class of Jie Yuan was a ten-year-old baby. Now he is seventeen. He is a young man. He is going to attend this year's spring exam, so he will come to his house today."

Mrs. Cui suddenly realized: "So, Master, you asked me to book a guest room for this friend?"

The master and Ren Hongyan had been passing on a letter for seven years. How could Mrs. Cui not know? She was also from a scholarly family, but her family declined and she had been well-read since childhood. Every letter from Linglong was full of words and words, and she couldn't put it down. Therefore, she fell in love with the child before she saw him.

Cui Daru head: "That's true."

Then he saw his wife change her face in an instant: "Why isn't it early for the master? Alas, I just transplanted a few pots of flowers, which made my hands full of soil. I'll wash it off now!"

Then he left in a hurry, leaving Lord Cui scratching his head. How could he meet his friend? His wife is even more excited than him?

When Mrs. Cui got dressed up and came back, she ordered people to prepare tea and pastries, which were all Linglong liked. Mrs. Cui asked: "Master, since the child is here, why not let him stay in our mansion?"

Lord Cui shook his head: "No."

"Why is this?"

"That child is talented and not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely have a bright future, but think about it, what is the one who hates the most today?"

Mrs. Cui immediately understood.

It's a clique.

If Linglongzhen lives in their house, she will be the first in the exam. When the palace exam is in, the emperor will not give him a good ranking. In that case, it will hurt him. It would be better to let the children come to visit, but don’t walk around frequently, so as not to fall into the eyes of those who are interested and make them make a big fuss.

Although there were adults in the court who were devoted to the country, there were also those who were fascinated by intrigue. Their masters were disdainful of being with such people and were obsessed with only studying.

Seeing that the wife was in a depressed mood, Lord Cui hurriedly said, "Madam, don't be surprised when you meet Linglong later."

The lady gave him a blank look: "What's so surprising about me? He's a good kid and talented. I can't even have time to like it."

Lord Cui remembered that the child had been born seven years ago and immediately muttered: "...I don't have to like it too much."

lady:?

A thousand words and ten thousand are not as amazing as the wife when she saw Linglong!

This kid is so beautiful!

Sexy and handsome, but not the kind of delicate daughter-in-law, but rather heroic. Just like this, he is the most dazzling among the crowd. How dazzling is it? Mrs. Cui will not describe it, but if she lived a thousand years later, she would feel that this child is like a front camera on her mobile phone. He has added a beauty filter! It is also the largest beauty filter!

My daughter married far away. Although her son-in-law was filial, she was not a Beijing official. It was difficult to meet each other for a few years. She could only rely on letters to explain her longing. Linglong was even older than their daughter. When Cui Fuque was quenched, she smiled and didn't talk much. She had to have dinner first!

Sijin has long been used to this situation, and has never seen anyone who hates their young masters. Who doesn’t have a strong favour when they see him? As a young master’s book boy, he is honored and used to it.

After the meal, Lord Cui advised Linglong again what he wanted to pay attention to in this exam, and also tactfully revealed Jin Shang's personality. It was just to praise and flatter. Jin Shang's biggest knot was that his throne was robbed, which was not justified enough and not orthodox.

He hinted very tactfully, and Linglong understood it instantly.

More than 1,000 people participated in this year's examination, and they were also held in three sessions. Each exam lasted for three days. The items tested were basically the same as those in the provincial examination. Four Books, Five Classics, Five Characters, Eight Rhymes, Strategy and Proverbs, etc. gathered students. The scene was spectacular and the number of people was grand.

Linglong has always had an excellent mentality in taking exams. What he annoyed the most is the examination environment. The single room used for the exam is too narrow, five feet high and four feet wide. He is already one meter acre in size, and he has to curl his legs when sleeping inside!

Mr. Cui was not the main exam, but the assistant exam, and was also responsible for the marking of the papers. Therefore, except for Linglong who came to Beijing, they met. In order to avoid suspicion, they stopped meeting each other before the exam. Only Mrs. Cui would send the servants in the mansion to the inn where Linglong stayed to send some food. Linglong reciprocates and would also give Mrs. Cui some exquisite things. He was well-behaved and sincere, so Mrs. Cui naturally liked it. She kept saying that she must be a high school member and went to Huguo Temple to burn incense for Linglong.

After the first exam, Linglong seemed to be full of students with a depressed look. Nothing else, this time the number room was much better than in the previous provincial exam. Except for the air circulation, he could not smell any smell. Therefore, he was naturally in good spirits. He was waiting outside the examination room for four or eight kilograms, and as soon as he saw his son, he immediately came up.

On the second floor not far away, a girl wearing a mili couldn't help but smile when she saw this scene.

Her heart was full of passion, and she wanted to go on and meet the handsome boy immediately, but she knew that it was not appropriate to act rashly at this moment. Now that she has the upper hand, can't she get what she wants?

There was still one day before the second exam started. Linglong finished washing and changed her clothes, and then ate outside for a while. It happened that a group of scholars were fighting in the inn where he was staying. She was so full that she had nothing to do. Linglong wanted to walk over from the side, but she was stopped: "This brother!"

"What advice do you have for me?"
