After one rain after another, the spring was intense and sleepy, and Chunxiao yawned and stopped his half-combed head, leaning against the window and looking at the street.

The residence facing the street is always noisy and unpleasant, and the famous prostitutes who are qualified to choose a place to live rarely choose here, Chunxiao chose this place, leaning on the window to enjoy the scenery on the street in her spare time, and she has become a scene on the street.

Recently, the noise in the street has become even louder.

"That's what it means to lazy grooming. ”

Chunxiao raised her eyebrows and looked down, and saw a group of Lan-shirted scholars passing by on the street, wearing a square scarf and holding a folding fan, all looking up, seeing her, some of them closed their eyes, and some raised their hands to greet and shout, "My sister is free."

"When the sons are in high school, the slave family will be empty. Chunxiao said with a smile.

The scholars were suddenly more happy to ask Chunxiao's name, Chunxiao only smiled and didn't pay attention to it, there was still a month to start the exam, and the scholars from all over the country gathered in the capital, and these days, no matter where they were, you could see groups of scholars talking with accents from all over the world.

There are naturally a lot of people in the green building, Chunxiao yawned again, raised his hand and stretched his waist, I don't know how many people on the street were fascinated by his gesture...... But I have never seen Xue Qing.

Do you read hard every day? No, Chunxiao looked into the distance with his chin in his hand, and he was juju and a poet, but although he didn't see him, he also made a fortune, and his eyes crooked and smiled when he thought of this.

"I smiled. ”

"Today, I know what a real smile is. ”

"The capital is really different from the countryside. ”

There were exclamations from the streets.

I'm a Chang'an countryman, you sour Confucians, Chunxiao raised his hand to close the window, and overheard the noise on the street.

“... Go and see, the thin man's painting is out. ”

“.. The thin man hasn't made a new work for a long time, what's wrong with it today?"

“.. Probably because the candidates in Shandong had too much trouble with the candidates for the gentleman's examination. ”

“... Ah yes, the thin man also participated in the gentleman's test..."

“... These gentlemen's test takers are so annoying... Let's go, I'm going to cheer for the candidates in Shandong, I'm afraid of what will happen to them. ”

The scholars on the street were noisy and noisy, Chunxiao held on to the window and looked in the direction they were going, Gentleman test candidates, nothing else, just don't mess with Xue Qing.

"Sister Chunxiao, Wu Guanren is invited. ”

There was a greeting from the little maid outside the door, and it was almost noon, and the banquet in the drunken fairy building also began.

.......

......

The crowd surged in the street, and a teenager walking in the middle suddenly stopped.

"What?" Zhang Liantang asked, and as Xue Qing looked up, Drunken Immortal Building, he smiled, "Something familiar?

Xue Qing smiled and said: "I, a murderer who can die when writing poems, don't look around." "Lift your feet and step forward.

Zhang Liantang followed with a smile, the two walked out of the city gate through the lively street, walked a small temple along the city wall not far away, did not enter the door to hear the hustle and bustle inside, and saw many scholars scattered when they entered, now in addition to the restaurant and tea shop, the temple is also a place where candidates who go to Beijing to catch the exam gather.

Although the examination date is approaching, there are still many candidates who call friends to travel around, gather and drink and quote scriptures and talk about it, the monks in the temple, the people who enter the incense are not strange, and occasionally there are idlers to watch, especially this time in addition to talking, the bamboo pavilion of the temple also hangs a painting, the painting is very simple, it is a plate of lychees, white porcelain lotus plates, and a string of red and green leaves of lychees in it.

Standing a little farther away is more realistic.

"Mother, mother, there are lychees over there. ”

A child in his arms shouted as he passed by, putting his finger in his mouth and sucking.

"I'm going to eat lychees too. ”

This little boy dressed rich and obviously ate lychees, but no matter how rich and noble lychees are, they can't eat them all the time, and they are delicious and worried about now, which makes everyone around laugh.

The child was overwhelmed by laughter and cried angrily, and his family hugged him to the bamboo pavilion and walked closer, and explained to him that this is not true, it is a painting, and praises the painting is so good, I have never seen it.... Speaking of this, one of the scholars gathered in the bamboo pavilion turned his head.

"There are so many paintings like that, why is it so unusual?" he said.

This person was tall, with a red and black face, and spoke loudly, and the sudden sound made the family startled, and the little boy who had stopped crying suddenly cried again.

"Why are you so fierce..."

"I'm not fierce, I'm just talking.."

“.. Can't you praise how good the painting is?"

“.. What if the painting is good? No matter how much the painting is full of flowers, is the article also full of flowers?"

When the family heard this, they understood, and they no longer argued, hugged the child and shook their heads and left, every time the big exam is like this, a group of scholars laugh and despise each other when they talk together, and the literati despise each other...... After the exam, I was stable.

The family left the scholars gathered around the bamboo pavilion and were still indignant.

“.... Isn't that right? For example, this thin man draws well, so he paints well, and he doesn't take any other subjects. ”

“... I didn't even try it for a gentleman, and I was still proud of something. ”

“.... These gentlemen's candidates are like this, we do not deny that they are superior in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

“... That's right, let them show their hearts and minds in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be famous all over the world, but why bother to come here for the imperial examination?"

“.... Not content, not content..... I don't know if these candidates are not satisfied, or the officials of the imperial court are not satisfied. ”

“... I won't have to make a gentleman's test a regular routine in the future... Then who in this world still studies well?"

“... This has to ask Wang Lieyang, Wang Daxiangye..."

This can be regarded as a discussion of the current dignitaries, the scholars paused, turned their heads to look behind them, and there were two new faces in addition to their familiarity.

"Brother," an older gentleman asked.

Zhang Liantang also saluted: "Shaanxi Road." ”

But that wasn't the end, another scholar looked at him and asked, "I don't know who the master is?"

Zhang Liantang said: "Gao Chengye." ”

Although everyone will not know that the main examination is different in various places, there is only one main examination for the gentleman's examination, Jiang Xian, hearing Zhang Liantang's answer, these scholars relaxed a lot.

"It turned out to be the same department. "Everyone salutes again, those candidates in the gentleman's test are not in the same subject as them, since they are their own people, they can speak at will, and in previous years, there was not so close to the same subject, but this year there is a foreign enemy, then the same subject is their own person.

"That Wang Lieyang...", someone continued.

In the middle of speaking, a scholar thought of something and looked at another young man, and said, "This little brother is the same?"

Xue Qing nodded, looked at Zhang Liantang, and said, "We are the same." ”

There is no scholar in the world who does not recognize his own teacher, and if he says the same, it will be the same, the scholar smiled and nodded to Xue Qing, ashamed of his many questions.

Because they were their own people, these people continued to talk and discuss, and told the news that Wang Lieyang was manipulating the gentleman's test, and they wanted to control the test as if they had seen it in person, but some people also expressed their opposition.

"I've heard that Chen Xiangye arranged it behind the scenes...."

"Chen Xiangye, who did you listen to?"

"It is said that it came from the Guozijian..."

Hearing this, Xue Qing signaled Zhang Liantang to leave, and Zhang Liantang turned around, and the scholars over there were even more excited because of the new news, and they didn't care about their comings and goings.

Xue Qing and Zhang Liantang walked up the corridor, and the discussion and noise behind them were gradually left behind.

"They're all right, right?" said Zhang Liantang.

He asked about what the candidates were talking about Wang Xiangye and Chen Xiangye, and Xue Qing nodded and said, "Yes." He smiled and lowered his voice, "The examination is a major event for scholars in the world, and Jin Shi is the first, so Wang Xiangye and Chen Xiangye are secretly competing." ”

Zhang Liantang said with a smile: "There is a high-ranking official in the imperial court who is different, and the news is sensitive. Naturally, Jiang Xian was referring to him.

Xue Qing smiled and acquiesced, but of course this news was not told to her by Jiang Xian, but Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng had already said before that he would take advantage of the examination that the world's scholars had paid attention to, and cause turmoil among court officials by announcing the fraud case, and expose the truth about the emperor's death when he was noisy, so Qin Tangong and others had no time to stop it, and they couldn't cover it up and calm it down immediately.

But for Wang Lieyang, Chen Sheng's actions in the examination were a challenge to him, so he was vigilant and strictly investigated and fanned the flames, in short, it was a little chaotic, but it was a pity that these candidates were noisy and used.

After a few steps, he left the corridor and turned to the side hall, just walked up to the side hall, he saw two women standing in front of the temple door to look at the murals in the hall, heard the footsteps and turned his head, Xue Qing's footsteps paused, Zhang Liantang also stopped, and saw that the two women were also fifteen or sixteen years old, and one of them had a fence on his face, covering his entire face.

Xue Qing saluted: "Miss Song." ”

Song Ying returned the salute: "Young Master Qingzi." The voice smiled again, "I really didn't wait for you this time." ”

Xue Qing smiled and did not speak.

Song Ying continued: "Did Young Master Qingzi also come to see the painting?"

Xue Qing responded.

Song Ying chuckled lightly and said, "Compared to when the gentleman tried it, Young Master Qingzi thinks that this thin man's painting can have improved, can it be ranked with Young Master Qingzi?"

Xue Qing thought about it seriously and nodded, "I think I can." ”

Song Ying laughed, so even if he grows, he can only be ranked with him, this Xue Qing is arrogant.

Zhang Liantang said in a low voice: "Minghui, they are here." ”

Xue Qing looked over and saw Chu Minghui, Zhang Shuangtong and others shaking their heads and walking over, and Song Ying also looked back.

"Miss Song, let's go and see the painting, let's go first. Xue Qing said.

Song Ying nodded and bowed, and the woman next to her also bowed, Xue Qing and Zhang Liantang nodded and returned the salute and passed past them, greeting Chu Minghui and the others, Chu Minghui had also seen them and Song Ying behind him.

"Hey, which woman..."Chu Minghui glared and tiptoed past Xue Qing, and said, "Is it that..."

Xue Qing said: "Yes." At the same time, he stretched out his hand to stop Chu Minghui, who was about to take a step past him, "If you go, you will starve to death, eat first." ”

Chu Minghui said: "What kind of food to eat, how can you be so hungry, haven't you heard of beautiful food?" rubbed his hands and wanted to step forward.

Zhang Shuangtong said: "Don't bother, people are leaving." ”

Xue Qing also looked back and saw a man saying something in front of Song Ying, Song Ying nodded to the girl, and disappeared in front of the side hall in a blink of an eye.

Chu Minghui was stunned, and looked at Zhang Shuangtong dissatisfied: "It's all because you go out to change clothes for a long time, and you can travel with Xue Qing if you come one step earlier." ”

Zhang Shuangtong sighed and raised his chin to the other side: "Look, there are beauties." ”

The teenagers immediately looked over and saw a group of old women who had entered the incense and walked by with a smile..... The frolic of teenagers resounded in the courtyard, noisy and interesting.

......

......

Song Ying's carriage left the capital and came to the courtyard, which was quiet in his ears, but when he stepped into the room, there were Song Yuan's long sighs and angry voices.

“... Dad, how can you be angry with your mother, she is still sick. Song Ying said.

Song Yuan stood on the edge of the bed with an annoyed expression and said, "It's because she's sick that I'm angry." ”

Song Ying took a few steps to the side of the bed, and saw that Mrs. Song was still facing inward with her eyes closed as before, but at this time, tears flowed, and she called her mother.

Mrs. Song didn't open her eyes, just shed tears.

"The doctor also said that my mother's disease must be happy to be cured. Song Ying said.

Song Yuan said angrily: "She has to be sick." ”

Song Ying said: "What does my mother want my father to be angry?"

Song Yuan seemed to be speechless, and finally flicked his sleeves and turned around and said, "She wants to enter the city." ”

Song Ying was slightly stunned.

Song Yuan turned around and said hurriedly: "Do you think I can not be angry? How can she enter the city like this? It's easy to get better...."Sigh and turn around again, "I'm dead." ”

The room was quiet for a moment, and Mrs. Song's low sobbing could be heard.

Song Ying babbled and said, "I'm crying.... My mother has strength, and she is much better. Touching Mrs. Song's shoulder, she could feel a slight tremble, and she couldn't help but rejoice.

Song Yuan turned around to step forward to check and stop angrily.

Song Ying stroked Mrs. Song's shoulder and said, "What big deal do I do, it turns out that it is for this, and my father is also angry with my mother." Looking at Song Yuan, "If my mother wants to enter the city, she will enter the city." ”
