Chapter 18

This is also such an important book for scholars here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Haoran's qi can repel evil spirits, and a Xiucai can be compared to a monk in the foundation building period. Lifting people and jinshi corresponds to the Bigu and Jindan periods.

The only drawback is the mortal body. Birth, old age, sickness and death, life is only a hundred years of ears.

Walking back to the inn, Li Xianyuan changed out of the long shirt stained with the smell of the prison and changed into a white-washed linen shirt.

He changed his clothes in front of Ji Canghai, making him look at it or not, making a big red face, looking up and pretending to find a spider on the roof.

"Can I go. Ji Canghai said, he also wanted to follow, and he didn't leave Li Xianyuan for half a step.

"Yes. Li Xianyuan took out the Journey to the West written in prison from the sleeve of his dirty clothes, and put it in the baggage with the previous one.

Ji Canghai's eyes lit up, and then he was relieved again: "You are all scholars, it's not appropriate for me to go." Anyway, it's across the street, so if I miss you, I just open the window and look over there. When you and your classmates and friends gather and laugh, don't forget that I am just across the street and alone in the empty room......"

Ji Canghai said pitifully, the more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and he buried his head: "It's just that you will enter the academy tomorrow, and I won't be able to stay with you every day......"

Li Xianyuan saw his pitiful appearance, and his heart softened. It seems that after the dark road went down the mountain and entered the city, his temperament was getting farther and farther away from the word indifference.

He deliberately had a expressionless face, and said in a flat tone: "It's okay, you don't have to get tired of watching." ā€

"I won't get tired of watching!" Ji Canghai pursed his lips, feeling bored, and kicked and played with his toes against the scabbard.

……

The sunset pours out, stretching the shadows long.

When night falls, the street lanterns are lit up, and the water blows below, and the bustle is no less than during the day.

Ji Canghai was left at the inn, and Li Xianyuan went downstairs alone, first going to the backyard to feed Xiaoqing hay.

In the past, it used to eat fresh and fat grass in the mountains, and disdained this hay fodder. As a result, I lost a few points. However, Li Xianyuan fed it and was willing to eat, rubbing Li Xianyuan with his head while eating.

added some hay to the manger, and Xiao Er came over to snatch the hay in his hand while shouting that the champion should not feed it himself. Seeing this, Li Xianyuan had no choice but to say thank you, leave the backyard and cross the street, and came to the downstairs of Wanghu Tower.

Wanghu Tower is close to the Qinghu Lake, which is the most prosperous place in Wuhou City, and the huge flower boat on the lake is far away.

The pavilion is three stories high, and the eaves are green. The lantern hangs high all over the body, so it is not magnificent.

As soon as Fang stepped into Wanghu Tower, Xiao Er greeted him, bent down and smiled: "You are the head of the Li case, several adults of the county government and other candidates are already waiting upstairs." ā€

It's not that he recognizes Li Xianyuan, but it's that it's really rare to have a young man with such a temperament in Wuhou City, and there will be no possibility of recognizing the wrong person.

Li Xianyuan thanked him and stepped up the stairs to the third floor.

The spacious three-story hall was filled with five tables. They are all candidates who have entered the list this time. At the first table sat the officials of Wuhou County.

Li Xianyuan bowed his hand and said: "I have seen the magistrate, the county lord, and several other adults. ā€

The others Li Xianyuan didn't recognize.

"The first case appeared, and our children's literary club deserved its name. Xian Cheng stood up from his seat with a smile, and actually walked up to Li Xianyuan and pulled him to the main table. The rest of the tables of candidates looked a little stunned, and the county greeted them in person, which was ......

The county man took Li Xianyuan's shoulders and enthusiastically introduced him: "I will introduce to you, this is the master book of Shuntianfu, and he is also one of the examiners of this children's examination." The examiner, Lord Wang, had something to do and returned to Beijing first. ā€

"I've seen Lord Bookkeeper. Li Xianyuan gave up.

The somewhat chubby master nodded with a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

The county Cheng introduced several other officials of Wuhou County to Li Xianyuan one by one, and then pulled him to sit down at the main table.

"It's a lot of pomp. ā€

As soon as Fang sat down, a light hum with a bit of resentment came from beside him. Li Xianyuan looked over, and Xu Zhitian was sitting on the left-hand side.

With Li Xianyuan seated, the personnel arrived. The magistrate coughed lightly, and the third floor, which was still a little whispering, quieted down, and the candidates looked at the magistrate who was holding a wine glass and standing up from his seat.

"My name is Lin Fuyang, the magistrate of Wuhou County. I am Wuhou County, my great business country, it is our honor to be able to produce all of you! This first cup, I salute you first. Lin Zhixian's words were full of solemnity, and he raised his wine glass and drank it all.

All the officials and candidates followed suit, stood up and drank the wine glasses.

Li Xianyuan picked up the wine glass, suddenly sniffed a few times, and frowned imperceptibly. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he pretended to drink it and put the still full wine glass back on the table.

Xu Zhitian, who always paid attention to Li Xianyuan, glanced at it and stared at Li Xianyuan playfully.

"I don't drink. Li Xianyuan whispered calmly.

Xu Zhitian also sneered softly: "What kind of man is not drinking." ā€

"Drinking is a man?"

"......" Xu Zhitian was speechless. Everyone else at the table finished their drinks and put down their glasses. Seeing this, he hurriedly pushed his empty wine glass in front of Li Xianyuan, reached out and picked up his wine glass and drank it all. glared at Li Xianyuan angrily and dropped his wine glass.

"This second cup of wine, salute Wen Quxing! I wish my human race prosperity!"

"The third glass of wine, toast my big business!"

Li Xianyuan didn't drink a drop of wine, but Xu Zhitian drank six glasses in a row. Fortunately, the alcohol content is not high, and his cheeks are only slightly red.

"It seems that Xu Gongzi is not strong enough to drink, hahahaha. The county man laughed. He was the most bold in his previous drinking.

Sitting on the side, the master smiled and said nothing. He could see all the previous scenes.

For a while, the third floor was happy, with chopsticks colliding, chewing and laughing one after another.

Xu Zhitian's fox friends and dog friends originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that Zhixian and others were there, and give Li Xianyuan some problems so that he could not get off the stage and avenge Xu Shao. It can be seen that Xu Zhitian was drinking, and suddenly hooked Li Xianyuan's shoulder and poured wine vigorously, looking at each other.

The officials of Wuhou County are all here, even if some people are not satisfied with Li Xianyuan, they dare not be presumptuous, not to mention that Xu Zhitian didn't say anything, and there is no need for them to come forward.

Therefore, in the past, the intrigue and poetry at the literary meeting were gone, and it completely became a wine game.

The county is good at drinking, and the candidates who came to the county to toast were blocked by him. drank until he got up, and he also pulled the master to play a toast.

Li Xianyuan was also a little suspicious. Originally, he was ready to encounter difficulties in the Wenhui and then show his talents. I didn't expect it to develop like a general novel at all.

Time passed, and it was midnight after a revelry. It's been a point-and-click approach every year, but this year it's so crazy.

The streets are deserted, and there are no pedestrians in sight. At the end of the meeting, the magistrate and other officials sat on the sedan chair and left one after another. The county fell last, opened the sedan curtain after getting into the dumplings, and asked Xu Zhitian how to go home.

Those of his friends were drunk and were carried back by the family members in their respective houses. Xu Zhitian has never liked to take his family when he goes out, so the county is a little worried about how he will go back.

Xu Zhitian shook his hand and opened his mouth to speak.

On the other hand, Li Xianyuan stepped forward and said, "I'll send him back." ā€

He was the only one in the whole meeting who didn't drink and was very sober.

"Well, this Wenhui is too crazy, hehe......" The county man chuckled and lowered the curtain and said the sedan chair. The official carried the sedan chair and gradually moved away.

The rest of the candidates said goodbye and left one after another, and the second child of Wanghulou closed the door, and after a while, the candlelight inside went out, and it was dark.

In the blink of an eye, only Li Xianyuan and Xu Zhitian were left in the empty and quiet streets.

"I ...... I don't need you to send it!" Xu Zhitian shook his body and glared at Li Xianyuan for a long time, waving his hand to refuse.

A breeze blew, and Xu Zhitian's body was like a kite, and he fell forward lightly. Li Xianyuan stretched out his hand to support it, and suddenly sighed softly.

The palm of his hand accidentally pressed on Xu Zhitian's chest.

It was an ordinary thing, but Li Xianyuan touched a ball of softness.
