Smiling proud rivers and lakes 19

On the road to Suncheon

The two horses hurried past one after the other, and the horses' hooves kicked up a cloud of dust.

Riding on the horse in front was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar in a green shirt, none other than Yue Buqun. This time when he went down the mountain, except for Ning Zhong, he knew the inside story, and none of the disciples knew about it. For this reason, he even wore a disguise mask, and ordinary people would not easily recognize his true identity if it weren't for those close people who knew his every move very well.

Not only him, but even the other person who followed closely behind him left Huashan this time. The man was dressed as a common Jianghu person, with a mediocre face and nothing to show for it, but judging from the relaxed posture he had when riding a horse, he knew that this should also be a martial arts practitioner.

At this moment, both horses were a little tired, and with their excellent eyesight, they saw a village in the distance, so they tightened their reins a little and slowed down.

Yue Buqun asked his companions beside him, "Brother Wang, can you still eat well, how about we go to the front and rest for a while?"

The man in the rear was late for a moment to react, and he was now the "Brother Wang" in the other party's mouth. It was his wife's surname, and now he uses it. He laughed loudly and said, "I've been in good health lately, and this distance is nothing, but the horses under him are a little impatient, so let's go to the front and rest." 」

There was a simple restaurant on the edge of the village, which was full of passers-by, and here the two turned over and dismounted.

They weren't the only guests, as there were three other horses tied to the tethering stone. The eyes of the two stayed for a while on the three horses, these horses were tall and vigorous, and the saddle pedals looked like the standard of the army, and seeing this, the two of them had a certain grasp of the identity of the horse's owner.

The rivers and lakes and the people in the court have never dealt with each other, and the two of them just didn't see anything, so as to prevent extraneous branches.

Outside the restaurant, a peasant woman feeds the horses with freshly cut grass. When she saw a guest coming, she turned her head and shouted inside to entertain the guest.

Yue Buqun and the "Brother Wang" walked into the restaurant, they found a clean table and sat down, and simply asked for a few meals.

In the corner of the restaurant sat three men, who were already a little drunk as they pushed their glasses and changed their glasses. The boss nodded and served them food, and hurriedly retreated.

Yue Buqun only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze. He discussed with Brother Wang about their next route and how to get to Shuntian Mansion as soon as possible. Now there are only two juniors over there, Lu Dayou and Yue Lingshan, and they are not very old and serious, he really can't rest assured.

"He knows how much water is mixed in these six yuan and the first one!" Someone at the table in the corner sneered, and his tone was a little drunk.

The two of them heard it clearly, Yue Buqun and Brother Wang glanced at each other, neither of them stopped talking, but their attention was attracted by the sentence "Six Yuan and First".

In Yue Lingshan's letter, Lin Pingzhi's current identity is the champion of the sixth yuan and the first.

"You don't understand, there are so many twists and turns!" the speaker said to the other two people sitting at the same table, "This ranking has already been decided, as long as he doesn't point fingers at the sky and the earth during the temple test, this champion will definitely be his!"

The other two were in low official positions and knew very little about the inside story of the court, but now when they heard about it from the mouth of the chief, instead of feeling curious and excited to learn the inside story, a layer of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and the wine was awakened.

One of them reminded, "Be careful. This fraud in the imperial examination, whether it is true or false, how can it be said at will.

The man saw the other two's thoughts, and instead of being afraid, he laughed again, and he shook his finger and said, "Wrong, wrong! I'm not saying that he did something in the examination room. 」

The other two were confused.

At this time, the owner of the restaurant brought up the food ordered by Yue Buqun and Brother Wang.

The royal brother ignored the noisy military attachés in the corner and ate his own meal.

Yue Buqun served a bowl of porridge, gently stirred it twice with a spoon, and spread the steaming hot air

Noodles come. He remembered that when he was in Huashan, Lin Zhennan made the meaning very clear, and Lin Zhennan didn't think that Lin Pingzhi had the ability to be the sixth yuan. The man said that Liuyuan and Dili were mixed with water, whether this is true or false Yue Buqun is not clear, but if it is true, it can match Lin Zhennan's words.

"Why does he need to cheat, he doesn't need to get involved in all that nonsense, he just needs to walk around the examination room innocently, and everything will be in hand!

Hearing this, his tablemates breathed a sigh of relief.

What's so strange about this, whether or not you win or lose in the imperial examination seems to be only related to literary talent, but who doesn't know, there are hidden selection rules everywhere.

For example, "name selection", depending on whether your name is taboo, or even auspicious, and "tolerance", depending on whether you look good or not, as for whether you are downgraded because of this ranking, it all depends on the will of "heaven".

During the reign of Yingzong, there was also a joke about "Rong Xuan", when there were two scholars surnamed Zhou in Wenzhou and Yanzhou, one was named Xuan and the other was Xuan. Zhou Xuan has a handsome appearance and an extraordinary demeanor, while Zhou Xuan is not good-looking. When drawing up the champion, the official in charge of this matter deliberately asked someone how Zhou Xuan looked, and the official who was questioned heard the "Xuan" in his name as "Xuan", which was naturally a good compliment, so he set the ranking in this way. It wasn't until the roll call saw the real person that the two sides were dumbfounded, and they knew that they had made the wrong person.

"Don't you know, as soon as the ranking of the test comes, the palace sent Xiao Huangmen to inquire about the news in the hall where he lives, and he didn't ask about his conduct or conduct, just ask about one thing how he looks!"

The other two people at the same table were shouting and scolding there, and they didn't interject, maybe the six yuan and the first have water, but the five yuan and the first are real, and it is also the meaning of being the champion.

It's just that they know that the chief has a grudge.

The courtiers of the Chinese and military lines of the DPRK and the military are already at odds with each other, and in recent years, His Majesty has attached more and more importance to military generals, and he can completely overturn the situation of Wengui and Wuwu that has been faintly starting since the Hongwu period. And they were busy running around for Liu Zhengfeng's orphanage, but not long ago, when His Majesty was rewarding, he didn't know why the person surnamed Qiao pressed them, he was a new champion, obviously not half involved with Liu Zhengfeng, and actually inserted a kick in the final reward for meritorious deeds, no one could figure out what His Majesty thought.

This is not in line with the attitude that the emperor has always treated them, nor is it in line with their previous perception of this young emperor.

They did not dare to question the emperor's will, so they had to focus their suspicions on the other person.

The Wang brother opposite Yue Buqun heard the conversation between these people from beginning to end, but he didn't seem to pay attention to it at all, and many words passed by him, he smiled indifferently, and said to Yue Buqun, "Let's eat first, the food will be cold later." 」

After leaving Huashan for a long time, every grass and tree on the mountain in my memory has become amiable and lovely. Since the day he sent the letter, Lu Dayou has been looking forward to meeting people from Huashan as soon as possible.

Master has always been steady and cautious, so Lu Dayou knows very well that no matter whether Master and Master believe what is said in the letter or not, he will send someone to come and make a final conclusion after careful investigation.

I don't know when the same door from Huashan will come.

As for who it would be, Lu Dayou felt that it was most likely that the master would send the second senior brother Lau Denuo over.

After all, it was the second senior brother himself who went to Fuzhou with the little junior sister at that time, and apart from the little junior sister, he was the only one who had seen and dealt with Lin Pingzhi.

Maybe the elder brother will come with him.

Previously, the senior brother was punished for thinking about the cliff and reflecting because of the conflict with the master, and the master may be willing to take this opportunity to let the senior brother go down the mountain.

He thought as he twisted a weed that he had just picked from the ground.

At this time, Lu Dayou heard a few knocks on the courtyard door.

He twisted the straw pole and looked towards the door.

He and his little sister rented a courtyard here, and they rarely interacted with people, and they had never been approached these days, and Lu Dayou almost thought that he had heard it wrong

Finish.

The door of the courtyard was knocked again, and the voice was not hurried, but slow and orderly, and it seemed extremely polite.

Lu Dayou seemed to realize something, and immediately threw away the straw in his hand and strode towards the door.

As soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar standing outside the door, but his eyes were a little more awe-inspiring than ordinary readers. He led the horse with one hand, and the moment Lu Dayou opened the door, he was stroking the horse's mane with his hand.

When the man leading the horse heard the sound of the door opening, he looked at the people in the courtyard, and saw that the person who opened the door was Lu Dayou, his eyes were slightly soft, and he was chic and elegant.

Lu Dayou's eyes were full of surprise, and he said, "Master, why are you here?" Even though Master changed his face, he still recognized who the other party was at a glance.

Yue Buqun tugged at the horse's reins: "Let's talk about it when we go in." 」

Lu Dayou turned sideways to open the courtyard door, and it was at this moment that he noticed that there was another person standing not far from the master. The man was tall and tall with one hand behind his back, and when the other man saw him looking over to him, he smiled at him.

The other party looked about the same age as the master, but he really didn't have any impression of this person.

After everyone came to the courtyard, Lu Dayou turned around and closed the courtyard door.

Lu Dayou heard Master introduce to the person he didn't recognize, "Brother Wang, this is my unsuccessful disciple Lu Dayou. 」

The man shook his head and said, "Let the disciple's breathing be gentle and not chaotic, and the bottom plate is calm, just looking at this extremely solid foundation, it can't be called a failure, Master Yue is really too modest. 」

Xu is other party's attitude was too frank, and Lu Dayou knew that the other party was just saying polite words, but he still couldn't help but feel very comfortable. He thought that if this person was in business, his popularity would be no different.

Yue Buqun said to Lu Dayou: "This is your uncle Wang, why don't you hurry up and say hello." 」

Yue Buqun has always acted in a gentleman's style, and this time he introduced others to his disciples, but he only hastily introduced the other party's surname and did not say more.

Lu Dayou has always been clever, although he didn't understand who this "Uncle Wang" was, but he would never open a pot at this time.

Lu Dayou immediately saluted Uncle Wang, and said with a smile in his mouth: "I have seen Uncle Wang, the little nephew ranks sixth among the brothers, everyone calls me Six Monkeys, if Uncle doesn't dislike it, he will call me like this." 」

Brother Wang, maybe I should call it Lin Zhennan saw that Lu Dayou saluted himself so quickly, so he stretched out his hand and helped him.

The two got closer, and Lu Dayou realized that this Uncle Wang's appearance also had a slight sense of disobedience, could it be that the other party was also changed appearance? Who is this senior?
