Chapter Seventy-Four: As Usual
The morning light turned golden and sprinkled the heavens and the earth, Huangsha Dao City became noisy and noisy, and a group of ultramarine shirts appeared on the streets.
"It's almost getting started.."
"What are you taking today?"
The onlookers also poured into the street early to watch the candidates of the gentleman's examination, different from yesterday, the candidates were no longer wearing uniform sacrificial dresses, wearing their own clothes were different and casual, and they also held a lot of musical instruments in their hands.
Today's test music department, music and etiquette belong to the same category, and the ceremony needs to be matched with music, but now music is more of a gentleman's self-cultivation skills.
In the inn, a red-robed young man went downstairs, carrying a guqin behind him and a flute fan hanging from his waist.....
"Young Master Shuangtong, you are more like a madman today. Pang An smiled, and walked down slowly, he only participated in one event, playing chess, "My chess skills are mediocre, just to have a good time, Leke is not disappointed, so it's good to have a score... Wait to see Young Master Shuangtong, you are dazzling. ”
Zhang Shuangtong participated in all four events, and when he heard this, he raised his head and laughed: "I came here to try this gentleman and expect to live this day." Laughing and looking upstairs again, he raised his voice, "Misahiro.."
The door of a room upstairs opened, Xue Qing walked out, lowered his head and straightened his clothes, looked up and smiled: "It's here." ”
Zhang Shuangtong said: "Hurry up... Don't be late. ”
Xue Qing walked downstairs with a smile, Pang An saw that her hands were empty, and said, "Young Master Qingzi, which event are you participating in today?"
Xue Qing said: "Let's see." ”
Let's see what it means to say it again? Pang An stared, haven't you thought about it yet? Just staring, Pei Yanzi also came, and he turned out to be empty-handed.
"Young Master Yanzi is also going to take a look?" he couldn't help but say.
Pei Yanzi said: "No, I will participate in all four." Glancing at Zhang Shuangtong, "There are all kinds of musical instruments in the government, just use one." ”
Is it good to use just one? Isn't this kind of exam using one's own musical instrument? How many people carry famous pianos, is it really so easy for celebrities to come from their own hands? Pang An smacked his tongue, and Lin Xiucai and the others also came out over there.
"Let's go, let's go get a good spot and draw a good lot. Zhang Shuangtong waved his sleeves to greet.
Pang An nodded: "Don't share with the Xiliang people this time." ”
Zhang Shuangtong snorted: "Why not? Who is afraid of whom. ”
Lin Xiucai said later: "Don't talk too much, go quickly." ”
A group of people talked and laughed and walked out with other candidates, Guo Zi'an stood on the second floor, watching the young man mix in as usual.... In fact, her steps were obviously slow, and the smile on her face seemed to be frozen.... Just take the test and come back quickly, Guo Zi'an turned his head and kicked downstairs.
"Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi. ”
In the carriage shed in the backyard of the inn, Qi Qi, who was squatting and laughing with a group of coachmen, stood up and watched Guo Zi'an shouting and running.
"Come with me to the street and buy something...."
Qi sneered and replied: ".. Do you want to buy some gifts for your family?"
Guo Zi'an hummed, led the carriage together, and smiled at the coachmen on the side: "Do you want to buy something?"
The coachmen smiled and waved their hands: "How can there be that spare money.."
Without any more words, Qi Whooshed and led the carriage out, Guo Zi'an sat up, leaned over and whispered: "Old East Gate... Grocery store.. Iron bars in a bamboo basket..... You deal with it. ”
Qi Whooted smiled and responded, "Young Master Zi'an, sit inside." He lowered his head and led the horse to hide the worry that flashed in his eyes.
People flocked to the official office to see the liveliness, the street seemed a little deserted, Guo Zi'an's carriage was unimpeded and soon arrived in front of the old east gate, Guo Zi'an got out of the car and entered the shop with the greeting of the shopkeeper, and stood outside the door waiting with interest, while looking at the bamboo baskets piled up on the wall with interest....
Guo Zi'an walked out with the things he had bought and saw that Qi Wei had already sat in the car.
"Alright, young master?" he asked, jumping out of the carriage.
The two took the car back to the inn, and as soon as they arrived at the door of the inn, they saw a group of officers and soldiers rushing towards them, and several men standing in front of the door laughing and chatting were immediately surrounded.
"Who are you?"
"Candidates..."
"Number plate.."
"What are you doing? Really... Didn't you check it out in the morning?"
In the midst of the noise, several men still took out their number plates, but the officers and soldiers did not stop there, but looked at them: "Why don't you go to the exam?"
A few men were a little embarrassed.
“.... What's wrong with not wanting to go?"
“.. We're not good at Leke, what's wrong?.. Shame on you?"
“... You can choose for yourself, what do you want to do?"
Before the words fell, he was pushed inward by the officers and soldiers: "I was ordered to check whether there was any hiding and robbery... Take off your clothes. ”
Undress! There was a sudden shouting in the inn, but how could a few weak scholars be able to resist the officers and soldiers being pressed in.... Guo Zi'an, who was sitting in the car, was sweating all over his palms, so this is what she said, isn't it worse not to take the test? What really happened last night?
"You!" the officers and soldiers also looked at Guo Zi'an's carriage and gathered around to ask the same.
Guo Zi'an got out of the car, and was checked for the number plate with Qi Wei, and was also asked to take it in to strip and search... Guo Zi'an did not refuse to go inside, and when he turned around, he saw that the carriage was also fenced, and several officers and soldiers checked inside and out, and dismantled the things Guo Zi'an bought....
"Alright, let's go inside. The officers and soldiers looked at it and waved their hands to let them go.
Guo Zi'an retracted his gaze and walked into the inn, and led the horse-drawn cart to the backyard first... The carriage clattered past the threshold, and if anyone leaned down to look closely, there was an iron bar embedded in the wooden plank at the bottom of the carriage as if it were reinforced.
.....
.....
The search continued, and a group of officers and soldiers came to an inn, and the leading officers and soldiers were about to rush in, but they were grabbed by someone.
"Faint your head. The leader shouted in a low voice, "Don't look long to see where this is." ”
The officers and soldiers who had been slapped glared at it, and a group of white-robed teenagers walked out of the inn with footsteps on their backs, their faces like jade, and their demeanor was dazzling...... It was Xiliang people, and the officers and soldiers hurriedly retreated.
The officers and soldiers in front of the door did not stop any longer and hurried over.
"What's the matter?" a young man from Xiliang looked at the officers and soldiers in the past with some curiosity, and then listened to the noise around him.
"Anything that has nothing to do with the exam has nothing to do with us. The other teenager said, "Ignore it." ”
Suo Shengxuan nodded and said, "Just concentrate on the exam." Thinking of something, he turned his head to look at the maidservant, "Is Qi Niang back?"
A servant girl replied, "I'm coming back before dawn." smiled with crooked eyes, "Qi Niang said, I will go to see Your Highness for your exam today." ”
Suo Shengxuan smiled on his face, looked at the candidates rushing on the street in the distance, and then looked at the official office, and said, "We will not let Qi Niang's hard work be wasted." With a solemn expression, "Especially the candidates from Chang'an Mansion, we will not be fooled again." ”
The maidservant said: "Qi Niang said that everyone concentrates on the exam, and the rest of the things..." smiled slightly, "There is him." ”
