Chapter 55: The Imperial Examination
"Brother Xiao, are you here?"
As soon as Yin Yaxuan's words in her heart were about to speak, a rough male voice suddenly came from outside the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Listening to this voice, there is no need to say it, it must be a bull force.
But in the middle of the night, why did Niu Dali come over suddenly?
Xiao Yu looked at the door, then at Yin Yaxuan, and whispered to her, "You wait here for a while, don't go out." ”
Yin Yaxuan nodded, she wouldn't go out without him saying it.
On this big night, it is always not good for lonely men and widows to be in the same room, and to be seen.
Xiao Yu opened the door, blocked the door, and said, "Why did you come here so late?"
Niu Dali smiled innocently, scratched his head and said, "Brother Xiao, I only remembered when I went back, the roster of this martial arts is still here, so I will send it to you quickly." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his head to look in and said, "Brother Xiao, why are you still cooking, I smell the fragrance outside the door, I can't show it at the banquet, I haven't eaten enough, Brother Xiao, can you let me have a supper here with you." ”
In normal times, Xiao Yu must have directly let Niu Dali in, but at this time, Yin Yaxuan was still in the house, so he could see it, I am afraid it would damage her reputation.
"Another day, I'm done eating. Xiao Yu said, took the roster from Niu Dali's hand, and was about to close the door.
The ox reached in with a strong leg and jammed the door.
"No, Brother Xiao, you just think about your brother accompanying you from birth to death, and do some more, anyway, cooking is not much easier for you than going into battle to kill the enemy. The ox was very strong, and with a great deal of strength the leg in the door, he opened the door, and dodged in.
Xiao Yu couldn't stop it, so he had to close the door and follow Niu Dali into the kitchen.
Niu Dali and him are like brothers, even if they see Yin Yaxuan, it's nothing.
What's more, he and Yin Yaxuan have known each other for a long time.
But back in the kitchen, Xiao Yu realized that his worries were unnecessary.
"Brother Xiao, isn't there anything else, why don't you tell me that I'm done eating. Niu Dali sat on the stool, filled himself a bowl of rice and ate it like a cloud.
He's really hungry, not a lie.
Xiao Yu looked around, feeling a little sullen in his heart.
Yin Yaxuan left, and even put away the dishes and chopsticks she had used, and it looked like he was the only one who had just eaten.
She cleaned up her traces.
"Brother Xiao, why don't you eat it. ”
"I'm full. After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he looked at his house.
The wall on the left is a bit low, and it looks like it's going to take a fresh break.
"Brother Xiao, this year's martial arts examination is at the same time as the imperial examination, and the martial arts examination is held by you, it seems that the emperor really attaches importance to you. ”
The corners of Xiao Yu's mouth curved, "Yes, you and I must not live up to the emperor's trust." ”
I picked up the roster and flipped through it, and some of the names that caught my eye were very familiar.
Sure enough, most of them were the sons of court officials.
Sighing secretly, Xiao Yu closed the roster, the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
On the other side, Yin Yaxuan had already returned home, and Xi'er, who was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard and waiting, drooped her head and was already asleep.
"Xi'er. Yin Yaxuan's tone was soft, and she gently shook Xi'er's shoulder.
Xi'er's body shook for a moment, and then she woke up, looking at Yin Yaxuan with confused eyes, hazy, and reacted for a while before saying, "Girl, you're back." ”
Yin Yaxuan sighed, this is really a daze.
"Get up and go to sleep. ”
"No, I'm going to cook, the girl must be hungry. As she spoke, Xi'er stood up with the help of the stone table, because she didn't wake up, she was sleepy, her feet were floating, and her body was shaking.
Yin Yaxuan held her and said softly, "No need to cook, I've eaten outside." ”
"Oh. Xi'er blinked, digested what Yin Yaxuan said, and asked, "Is the girl still taking a bath?"
"Go to sleep, I'll do it myself. Yin Yaxuan persuaded again.
"Yes. Xi'er nodded, yawned, and went back to her room.
Yin Yaxuan first went back to the room and changed out of the maid clothes she was wearing, and went to wash them.
When I just climbed over the wall, the hem was dirty. Fortunately, Xiao Yu's house still has a low wall, otherwise she would have been hit by Niu Dali.
In fact, Niu Dali saw that it was a small matter, and it was a big thing to be questioned by Xiao Yu.
Obviously, she was suspicious of Xiao Yu first, but it turned out that she ran away.
Yin Yaxuan washed her clothes and sighed, she was afraid that she would have to hide when she saw Xiao Yu in the future.
On the second day, Yin Yaxuan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to change clothes, and saw many outsiders in Bianjing on the way.
"Xi'er, what's going on these days? There are so many people in Bianjing all of a sudden?" Yin Yaxuan asked.
Xi'er smiled and said, "Girl, you don't know, this year's imperial examination and martial arts examination are about to start!"
"Imperial examination ......" Yin Yaxuan said to herself, and then looked at the street, sure enough, there were many people dressed as scholars.
The imperial examination is held every three years and after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She had almost forgotten.
Yin Yaxuan sighed, now that there is no one in their family for the imperial examination, she really doesn't have to care about this.
After the Los Angeles Rebellion, Yin Mingzhao disappeared and was never found again.
After Yin Yaxuan left home, every time she sent a letter home, she would ask about her brother's news, but a year after she left, her father sent a letter mentioning that a tomb had been set up for her brother.
After looking for a year and no results, the Yin family has given up hope.
But deep down in Yin Yaxuan's heart, she still didn't want to believe that her brother was no longer there.
If the person died, what about the corpse?
As long as she couldn't see the body, she didn't believe it.
A year has passed, Yin Yaxuan is in Bianjing, and her brother is never mentioned in the letter sent back.
She was afraid that her family would be sad to see it, and she was afraid that the reply she received contained news that she did not want to hear.
If my brother hadn't disappeared, I'm afraid he would have been able to participate in the imperial examination this year.
I still remember that she once said that her brother could be admitted to the top prize, and now she ......
"Girl, let's go. Xi'er saw that she didn't move for a long time, her eyes didn't blink without knowing what she was looking at, and the sadness on her face was very familiar to Xi'er.
Xi'er knew that Yin Yaxuan was missing the young master.
Not only did the girl think about it, but she also thought about it, she also thought about Wu Si, and wanted to live in Los Angeles.
But after all, that is all in the past, the young master has been killed in the Los Angeles Rebellion, and even the body is gone.
Yin Yaxuan took a deep breath and looked at the blue sky, "Let's go." ”
On the way, I passed a medical hall, and a woman in plain clothes walked into the medical hall behind Yin Yaxuan.
"The owner...... Is Dr. Zhang here?"
Yin Yaxuan paused, and suddenly looked back.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Xi'er also turned around and followed Yin Yaxuan's gaze, but didn't see anything.
Yin Yaxuan looked around again and withdrew her gaze, "I just heard ...... Forget it, I must have listened to me, let's go. ”
After speaking, the two walked towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
