Chapter 14
den
The candlelight in the study flickered and flowed quietly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old lady sat in the Taishi chair behind the desk, her cloudy eyes narrowed slightly. I don't know if I'm thinking about things or feeling tired.
The maid brought two cups of tea and closed the door as she left.
The window paper reflects the shadow of the maid walking. When the shadows and footsteps disappeared, the old lady's eyes opened a slit and said slowly: "I don't know what happened when the son visited late at night." ”
"I'm coming down to an appointment. ”
"Going to an appointment?"
Li Xianyuan said: "During the day, in the examination room, there was a dead soul following me, and I thought it was the second lady of the Li family." At that time, I told her that I would come to visit, and now I am here for an appointment. ”
"The vision that Gongzi Tong summoned when he was born has spread all over Wuhou City. A few days ago, I was reluctant to invite my son to marry Wan'er, not to mention that now I am still a fish leaping into the dragon gate. My family Wan'er is ignorant and bothers you. The old body can't make any more compensations to you. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
The old lady's tone softened a little: "It's just...... Is Li Gongzi really not thinking about it anymore? Wan'er follows you, which shows that she likes you a lot. My Li family has no male children, and sooner or later this large industry will be yours in the future. ”
"Marriage matters need to be clear to parents, and there is no father and no mother, and they are alone. Then this marriage is naturally your own decision. This love between men and women comes from the heart, and it can't be forced. If you really marry Miss Li Er for the Li family's business...... Not to mention what the old lady thinks, the Li family will laugh at me in the future. ”
Li Xianyuan looked serious. Farewell to Ji Canghai, he seems to have changed back to the indifferent young man.
"Please tell Miss Li Er that people and ghosts have different paths. ”
There is already a man dressed as a woman in the family, and there are many ghosts, and there will be no way to live.
"I can't see Wan'er...... Her existence can only be known through other means. ”
It seems that in response to the old lady's words, the pen hanging on the table suddenly fell for no reason, and the precious brush was scattered on the table.
"Look, this girl is petty. The old lady chuckled, and then sighed softly: "Okay...... You can't force it. However, if the son changes his mind, my Li family is welcome at any time. ”
said goodbye to the old lady and left the Li family. Li Xianyuan looked back at the empty and desolate street, and a little breeze brought a small whirl, rolling the dark paper.
A chill pervades the surroundings. Thinking of Ji Canghai, Li Xianyuan's heart quietly melted a little bit, and he quickened his pace and walked towards the inn.
Lift the curtain and enter the inn, the inn has not closed, but there are no guests, the guy is lying on the counter dozing, hearing the greetings of the visitor, and went to sleep on his stomach.
When I returned upstairs and pushed the door into the room, I saw Ji Canghai sitting at the round table, holding his cheeks in his hand, and his two thin legs stretched out under the table dangling straight and around, looking bored.
When he heard someone coming, he turned his head sideways, and a curtain of green silk covered his forehead. Seeing that it was Li Xianyuan, Ji Canghai's eyes lit up, and he was about to rush to Li Xianyuan's arms when he brushed off the green silk on his forehead.
Li Xianyuan raised a finger and pointed it at Ji Canghai's eyebrows, making him unable to move an inch.
"What. Ji Canghai pouted, looking at Li Xianyuan pitifully.
"I ought to ask you this. Li Xianyuan nodded at Ji Canghai's eyebrows, bypassed him, and came to the table.
The table was littered with invitations.
"What is this. Li Xianyuan withdrew his hand and picked up an invitation card casually.
The edge of the invitation is gilded, and it is extremely luxurious. This Li Xianyuan can't afford all his net worth, and now it only exists as an invitation.
On the red paper, the flying dragon painted the phoenix in a few big characters: sent to Li Xianyuan Taiqi
Expanding on, it was the Xue family in the east of the city who invited Li Xianyuan to be a guest. When I opened other invitations, I invited Li Xianyuan to be a guest and participate in the banquet.
"Shall we go?" said Ji Canghai as he poked his head out from behind him, resting his chin on Li Xianyuan's shoulder.
"More on that later. Li Xianyuan's shoulder shook, Ji Canghai retreated with a painful cry, covered his mouth and looked at Li Xianyuan with tears in his eyes, stomped his feet and said vaguely: "It's so old!"
"Oh, I'll blow it for you?" Li Xianyuan opened the invitations one by one, even though he knew that the content was the same, he still took out the letterhead in the invitation one by one and read it.
"Roar, roar. Ji Canghai immediately smiled, and his little head squeezed in front of Li Xianyuan.
Ji Canghai's eyes were closed, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. The two pale pink vermilion lips are slightly open.
Li Xianyuan's heart was confused, and he forcibly looked away.
Ji Canghai waited for a long time without seeing any movement, and when he opened his eyes strangely, he saw Li Xianyuan take out all the papers of the invitation, and throw the bronzing cover into the basin.
"Yes?"
Li Xianyuan waited for the paper to melt, took out the gold leaf and rubbed it into a small ball, and said without replying: "Starting capital." If you want to print a book, you always need money. ”
"Lee's Spicy Journey to the West?"
"Hmm. Li Xianyuan weighed the size of the nail in his hand, which was somewhat weighty. The one hundred taels of silver tickets that he borrowed before, Li Xianyuan had already returned them to Ji Canghai. As soon as Qinglou escaped, the account was naturally not settled, and there was no expense.
……
Following
Li Xianyuan, who was sleeping on the table, woke up early, and didn't call him when he saw that Ji Canghai was still asleep. Smooth out the wrinkles on the robe, pick up the willow branches to clean your teeth, and after thinning, untie your long hair and put it back together as Taoist sideburns.
The youthful temperament in the bronze mirror is dusty, and the indifferent temperament between the eyebrows is like a fairy descending to earth.
Li Xianyuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he tugged at his cheeks again, trying to make himself look more approachable.
Close the door and go downstairs alone. Xiao Er led Li Xianyuan to the unmanned table with an extremely enthusiastic attitude, and the dim sum and tea were quickly served.
Just when Li Xianyuan was strange, he saw the innkeeper greet him with a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Childe is here to take the exam, right?"
"Exactly. ”
"That's right, these are delivered for free by the shop. I hope that you, Son, will get a good ranking, and you will be able to brag about the old age of the guests in the future. ”
"Well said. Li Xianyuan also gave up.
After eating the breakfast provided free by the innkeeper, Li Xianyuan left the inn and went to the street. didn't go far, Ji Canghai stuck up like kraft candy, and insisted on following.
Li Xianyuan and Ji Canghai came to the examination room and found that the list had long been crowded, and countless candidates, relatives and friends were waiting for the moment when the list was unveiled.
Li Xianyuan and the two were too conspicuous, and they were recognized as soon as they came, and the sound of friendship was endless.
The sun was rising, and there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. From the surrounding people, I knew that it was Xu Zhitian, the head of the scheduled case, who came. Judging from the vision alone, Xu Zhitian sat firmly at the head of the children's life test.
The government didn't keep the crowd waiting long. After a while, I saw the door of the examination room slowly opened, and the county clerk and the chief examiner crossed the threshold, standing on the steps and looking down at everyone. Several officers and soldiers rolled out the list covered with red cloth.
Li Xianyuan and the others were too far away to hear and see clearly. But soon, he learned from the commotion of the crowd that
The first case of this exam, Li Xianyuan!
Whoa-
The crowd dispersed in a large area, and a large open space was vacant around Li Xianyuan.
Li Xianyuan was not surprised by this result, Li Bai's poem could not win the first case, and there was only one possibility that the other party would cheat.
However, just a few breaths later, the crowd became riotous, and I saw several officials push away the crowd in front of them and walk in front of Li Xianyuan. The voice of the chief official was strong: "You are Li Xianyuan." ”
Li Xianyuan said: "It's me." ”
"Did you fight with someone in Kanfangin last night?"
"What's wrong. ”
The man died, and his companion reported it to the county office. Case Chief Li, come with me!"
