There was some hoarseness, a little coquettishness, a hint of confusion, and a clear and beautiful voice made the two of them come back to their senses, and watched Ruyi gradually calm down.

"Begonias. Ruyi looked at the girl in the pink skirt next to her, and said with a smile, "Why don't you invite Zhao Gongzi to tea?"

"No. ”

Zhao Yuheng was pulled by Haitang, and then he gave up the confrontation with Shen Yuncheng and turned to leave.

Ye Luo looked at Zhao Yuheng who was leaving, and his eyes turned and fell on Shen Yuncheng's body.

I saw that he was talking to Ruyi, but he was actually listening to Ruyi's words, and he looked like he was an elder.

For a while, Ye Luo became interested in this woman in the land of wind and moon.

A woman who is afraid of both the Shen family and the Zhao family, what kind of person is she?

————

At night, when Ye Luo left Ruyi Fang and walked in the direction of Ping'an Inn, she unexpectedly bumped into someone she didn't want to meet on the way.

"Who are you?

Looking at Shen Yuncheng in front of him, Ye Luo couldn't help but smile, "What Childe said was biased. This Ruyi Fang is not a secret place in the palace, why, I can't go?"

"That's right, you just can't go!"

I had long heard of the arrogance of the people of the Shen family in the capital, and when I saw it today, it once again refreshed Ye Luo's cognition.

This is not just crazy, it is simply brainless.

Let's ask, which serious son of a wealthy and aristocratic family would stop someone, just to tell that person that a Qinglou is not the place she should go?

"What do you mean by Childe?"

The sneering look on Ye Luo's face made Shen Yuncheng a little uncomfortable, the people he saw on weekdays were all flattering to him, but the people in front of him obviously didn't take him seriously.

To be exact, she didn't take the Shen family in her eyes at all.

"Do you dare to laugh at Ben Gongzi, do you know who I am?"

Ye Luo shook his head decisively, "I don't know." ”

Before Shen Yuncheng spoke again, he carefully looked Ye Jian's dress up and down, wearing silk and jade, folding fans and jade belts, looking like a rich and noble son, but how could this person make people feel that he didn't have a brain?

Then, Shen Yuncheng found that the person in front of him was whiter and more tender than ordinary people, not like people from the north, and immediately had a thought in his heart.

"You're not from Beijing?"

"It's not. ”

Shen Yuncheng smiled, because he suddenly thought of this person's possible identity,

"It's a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam. ”

"Exactly, Childe has good eyesight. ”

Ye Luo smiled lightly.

"Then you see, don't look at who this son is?" Shen Yuncheng said proudly.

"And who are you?" Ye Luo asked with a smile.

Ye Luo wanted to say, she really knew that you were the infamous Shen Yuncheng.

But...... Ye Luo felt that it was better to calm things down for now.

"Listen up, boy, this son is the nephew of the current queen, the grandson of the prime minister, the Marquis of Dingbei is my grandfather, and the Hubu Shangshu is my father, I'm afraid!"

Shen Yuncheng said unruly, not noticing the hatred that flashed in the eyes of the person opposite.

"It turned out to be Shen Gongzi, who didn't know Mount Tai with his eyes, and overstepped it. ”

The humble attitude made Shen Yuncheng's pride extremely satisfied, like a proud peacock, with his head held high.

"It's good to know it's wrong, what's your name, who's who?"

"I'm just a nobody, and I don't dare to pollute my son's ears. Ye Luo said.

"If you want to say it, you can say it, where is so much nonsense!"

Ye Luo smiled, "In Xia Ye Luo, a person from Hangzhou." ”

"Is it the Hangzhou with heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below?"

"Exactly. Ye Luo replied.

The reason why Shen Yuncheng chased out of Ruyi Fang was because he was angry in Ruyi Fang, and the person who was born was one of the few people in the entire capital who could not be offended, and he bumped into Ye Luo in the meantime, and he wanted to be angry with her when he came and went.

Who would have thought that it would be like a circle on cotton, which is not interesting, let alone angry.

"Boring, a old-fashioned and boring scholar like you, I really don't know how the imperial court would choose people like you?"

As he spoke, Shen Yuncheng had already left, leaving Ye Luo with a proud back.

Under the moonlight, the faint smile on the corner of the lips of the child, who stood like jade, changed into different colors, which only made people feel a chill down their spines.

The Shen family, this is a surname that Ye Luo will never forget in her dreams, and this is a family that she will not ignore until she dies.

One day, she will make these moths of the court, the sons of the gentlemen, and the families of the ruling and opposition parties pay the price of blood.

————

When I returned to the Ping'an Inn in the east of the city, I could see the candlelight shining through the room in every guest room I passed, which was a testament to the students' hard work.

Ten years of hard work, there are many people here who carry the expectations of their families, or shoulder the mission of changing the fate of the family, but the opportunities are limited, whether it is a troubled era or a prosperous era, if you want to get ahead, there is only one word 'fight'.

Pushing open the door, the two people in the room looked at Ye Luo in unison.

Facing Shen Jinyan's gaze, Ye Luo nodded to indicate that the matter had been completed, and before Shen Jinyan could thank him, Qingfeng had already rushed to Ye Luo.

"Young master, where have you been on this big night? Why don't you tell the servants? You said that if you have a three-long and two-short, what should Madame do?"

“...... Oh, where is it so serious, I'm just going out for a walk, relaxing, and in a few days it's a big exam, I have my own measure. ”

Ye Luo Dao.

Glancing at Shen Jinyan on the bed, Qingfeng wanted to speak and stopped, but fortunately, Ye Luo in front of him was safe and sound, so he didn't say anything more.

On that day, Shen Jinyan still rested at the Ping'an Inn, Qingfeng stayed up all night with Ye Luo to study hard until the next morning, and when Shen Jinyan woke up, the young man at the table was still studying hard, reviewing the scriptures and history, and as for the servant, he was no longer in the house.

Shen Jinyan was born in the Shen family, although he was not welcomed, he also knew the inside story of this family.

The Shen family, except for Prime Minister Shen and Hubu Shangshu, most of the rest are military generals, which is why the emperor can tolerate the Shen family so rampant.

And the Shen family has always been proud of Rong Ma, and most of the martial champions in the past are descendants of the Shen family, so they don't particularly care about Congwen.

Even if Old Man Shen tried to teach them to pay attention to literature and history, it was obvious that few people could stand out from the anthology.

And Shen Jinyan has been a problem with food and clothing since he was a child, not to mention learning martial arts, only occasionally eavesdropping on the scriptures and meanings of the lectures in family studies.

Shen Jinyan remembered very clearly, and there was a sentence in it

"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they will be tempted to endure and gain what they cannot. ”

I don't know if Dayan's students are like this, but looking at the people in front of her, Shen Jinyan sincerely hopes that her dream in her heart can come true.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the big exam is coming.

The big exam lasted for three days, and outsiders were not allowed to enter, and those inside could not come out.

Shen Jinyan's injuries had healed a lot, and he sat on the chair and flipped through the books that Ye Luo brought, while Qingfeng kept walking around.

"Your young master is extraordinary, and he is even more diligent and studious, and he will definitely go to high school. ”

Shen Jinyan's voice was like a special magic that could soothe the stirring in people's hearts.

Qingfeng stopped and looked at Shen Jinyan,

"The villain is here to thank my young master for the auspicious words of Jin Gongzi. ”

Shen Jinyan glanced at it, only to see that his forehead was covered with dense sweat, and he couldn't help laughing,

"I see, your young master may not be as nervous as you when he goes to the exam. Sit down, drink a cup of tea, and be calm in the face of things, otherwise you will not survive in the cannibalistic officialdom. In the future, you will follow him in and out of officialdom often, if you can't hold your breath like this, it will be bad. ”

While speaking, a cup of tea had already arrived at Qingfeng's hand, and the latter was stunned for a moment, looking at the man sitting by the window in front of him, he actually had the feeling of looking at the person in the painting.

It was noon three days later when I walked out of the examination room, and I looked up at the sun hanging in the sky outside, and I felt a sense of relief.

Three days, three full days, maybe for a person's life, these three days are very short, but for the students who come out of this, it seems to be a lifetime.

Ten years of cold window, the fate that was decided only in the morning and night, no one will not care, including Ye Luo.

The students walked out of the examination room in an endless stream, and the ministers of the Hanlin Academy, who were in charge of the invigilation, began to mark the papers.

The questions in this exam are free and students are free to play, which seems easy, but it really falls on the pen, but it is another matter.

Coincidentally, most of the students' papers are based on the analysis of current politics.

If you blindly sing praises on the volume, the Huns in the north and the floods in the south will not make people live in peace for many years.

can praise and disapprove the disadvantages of the times, and the scale of this is debatable.

So the ministers in charge of the inspection shook their heads and laughed, and put down the papers in their hands.

"These students now, ten years of hard study, most of the literary talents, and there is no lack of rich rhetoric, but the content is ......"

As soon as An Xuyang's words fell, the minister who was reading the paper next to him also put down the rolling paper in his hand, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat

"What Lord An said is extremely true, I have read most of this article, and most of this can be said one or two times, but it is either light or serious, no matter which one is not what the saint wants to see today. ”

As he was talking, he heard a chuckle, and a paper had been handed to the examiner An Xuyang.

"Two adults, I have an article that is not light or heavy, and it is worth watching. ”

The person who spoke was another young deputy examiner, surnamed Tao, who was the head of the household department at the time, because of his quick thinking and writing a good article, he was specifically pointed out by the emperor as the deputy chief examiner of this big competition.

After taking the test paper, An Xuyang opened the rolled up paper, and the minister next to him also borrowed the light to read it.

After a while, Tao Shengmin glanced at the two, and the two looked at each other, both of them seeing joy in each other's eyes.

It's an excellent piece of writing, and there's not a lot of flowery rhetoric, but it's perfect both in terms of commenting on current events and in the students' writing, and even they can't write anything like it.

"Two adults, it seems that the first person in this big competition has been selected. ”

Tao Shengmin slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and the three of them tacitly agreed.

"It's just ......"

An Xuyang's face was embarrassed, and the joy in the hearts of the other two people suddenly decreased a little.

"It seems that the prime minister's grandson also participated in this competition. ”

How many people have been stumped by a Shen character?

How much the Shen family hopes to produce another champion, An Xuyang knows it, but looking at the article in front of him, he knows that there will be no better than this, even if the prime minister writes it himself, it is nothing more than that.

"Alas. ”

The entanglement in my heart finally condensed into a sigh.

————

Everything that happens inside the red walls and green tiles is cut off from the outside, and no one knows the outcome except for the people inside.

There is no other way but to wait.

However, compared with other students, Ye Luo is much busier, but he also has a little less entanglement of expectations.

Returning to the room of the Ping'an Inn from the examination room, Ye Luo could only fall asleep on the bed with his head covered.

This sleep came to noon the next day, and when she got up, she only felt empty and weak.

I looked around and saw that there was no one else in the room but myself.

What about Shen Jinyan? Where did Qingfeng go?

Without thinking too much, he began to feel dizzy, this time due to hunger, and he propped himself up and walked to the table under the bed, and poured a glass of water to feed the hungry intestines.

In the afterglow, I saw that Shen Jinyan's coat was still left in the house, and the people did not leave, where did these two go?

Just thinking about it, there was a knock on the door here, and it was no one else who walked in, it was the owner of the Ping An Inn.

"Ye Gongzi is awake?"

"Please come in. ”

The voice was obviously a little weak, and when the boss pushed the door open, he saw a young man sitting at the table with a somewhat pale face.

"Ye Gongzi, you can be regarded as awake, the two guest officers who came with you repeatedly told the old man to come and knock on the door every other hour before leaving, I am afraid that Gongzi will be hungry and weak after waking up. This is a small dish for the back of the child, please use it slowly. ”

While speaking, the boss had already put the meal in front of Ye Luo, three dishes and one soup with four taels of white rice.

Not only are the dishes delicious, but even the white rice is fragrant and glutinous.

One-third of the world's grain comes from the Jiangsu and Hangzhou areas in the south of the Yangtze River, and Ye Luo, who is from Hangzhou, is naturally more familiar.

"Shopkeeper, where does this rice come from? It seems to be more ...... than ordinary white rice."

"It's a little more substantial. The shopkeeper took over the words, looked at Ye Luo and nodded, and then continued to smile,

"Childe is from the south, naturally I haven't eaten the white rice in our north, this rice comes from Guannei, Jiangnan is one of the granaries of the world, and this Guannai is another place. Most of the nobles in Beijing eat this rice. ”

"Oh, such a good thing, the shopkeeper actually used it as a guest's meal?" Ye Luo said.

The shopkeeper smiled and explained

"Childe's words are wrong, although this rice is not rare, but it is precious, in the old decay shop, even the old decay is only occasionally eaten, Childe hung the sign of Young Master Murong to come, and the store naturally wants to serve the best. ”

At the mention of Murong Xuan, Ye Luo immediately reacted.
