The hustle and bustle of the palace gate was immediately like raindrops falling on the beach, and there was no sound, and only a sum of money was left to talk about the people of the capital chatting after tea. Music-Text

Not all the candidates participated in this sit-in, but more Jinshi talents who had a gap in their hearts seized the time to exchange experiences with their teachers and friends, and sorted out the officialdom road to take in the future.

However, thanks to their efforts, the emperor actually opened the tribute courtyard and displayed the top ten scrolls of the current department for tasting, which not only shows the fairness and justice of Chunfu, but also shows the emperor's confidence in his favored Jinshi talent, and the questions and challenges he has endured.

Compared with the number of participants in the palace gate meditation, there are more candidates who flock to the Gongyuan, many of whom are already high school people, and even officials who are micro-served, After all, the papers of the three lists of this subject, especially the papers of the palace examination, are not so easy to see.

Lin Xi, as the champion Lang, is the third yuan and the first, and the papers of his township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination are hung high in the most conspicuous place, and on both sides of it are the examination papers of the Bangyan and Tanhua.

"Brother Luo, it turns out that you are also here. Fang Shusheng saw that Luo Dacai's eyes lit up, and immediately walked over and complimented: "The junior brother just read your volume, the writing is really outstanding, quoting scriptures and classics, the idea is profound and unique, admirable, the emperor has a good eye." ”

Fang Shusheng's compliment didn't make Luo Caizi very happy, his eyes kept falling on the most conspicuous scroll, because it was the scroll of Zhuang Yuanlang, Lin Xi's exam paper was inlaid with a layer of yellow edges, which was particularly eye-catching.

Fang Shusheng followed his gaze, couldn't help but pout, and whispered: "Junior brother is lonely and unheard, I really can't see what is good about Lin Xi's article, the prose is plain, there are few historical allusions, and why did he use so many numbers, do you want the examiner to check them one by one?"

Luo Caizi frowned slightly, he glanced at Fang Shusheng, and didn't say much.

That's right, Lin Xi's scroll style is very different from others, it is really inconspicuous at first glance, and the rhetoric is close to simplicity, which is too plain compared with many people who are brilliant. However, what is unique is that many of the above data, if true, will strongly support his arguments, showing unparalleled tension, people can't help but believe his point of view, no amount of flowery rhetoric, no amount of beautiful ideas can shake a point, pragmatism is his greatest characteristic.

For the first time, Luo Caizi found out that the original strategy could still be written like this.

But what he cared more about was a larger and longer note next to the paper, which was neatly and clearly written, the same as the handwriting of the exam paper. As if to make it clearer, it is written as the origin of the cited data in that volume.

How to sample, how to make the book, how to count and screen, and for the authenticity of the data. often starts from a debate with Mr. Bai, because there is no answer, there is no right or wrong, but there is a conjecture. So I went out of the city in person, got off the farm, went to the market, looked through the local chronicles, looked for various records, asked all kinds of people, had a comparison of many places, plus the integration of the past years, and drew a few intuitive pictures, so that people can see it at a glance and ...... Shocking.

This note is just one of them, and a thicker stack is placed on the desk below for someone to flip through.

Among them, there are the grain production situation known from the old farmers in the grange, the price level obtained by the market merchants, the literary classics collected with the help of his cousin Hanlin, the horse grazing situation that the Marquis of Yongning was asked to use his position to inform, and the state of the people's livelihood in the frontier that Prince Rui was asked to talk about in detail...... The sources are all detailed, which shows its intentions.

There are still gaps in people's livelihood such as food, housing, clothing and transportation, waiting for people to fill in the details.

Looking back at it, there are a large number of annotations by Mr. Bai, the childish words of Xiao Shizi, the concise and clear explanation of Prince Rui, the sudden enlightenment of the Nine Emperor Princes, and the words of Emperor Xia Jingdi.

"If the world is a pragmatic person such as Doer, why not worry about the peace of the world, and the dynasty is grand. ”

Emperor Xia Jing's final comment set the final tone, this champion Lang is not better than the test paper, not because of his teacher, but the heart of the people is in the emperor's heart, and the name of the champion can be seen to have long belonged.

Behind this heavy record is an obscure effort, but now it is unreservedly displayed, even if Lin Xi does not appear here, this bearing and mind alone make Luo Caizi ashamed.

The ambiguous rumors that had entangled Lin Xi and Prince Rui before became meaningless, and it only made him more vulgar and narrow-minded, and he suddenly felt ashamed of himself who had spoken ill of himself.

His face couldn't help but turn red and white, but Fang Shusheng misunderstood, "Brother Luo, let's look away, he has Prince Rui to protect him, but he can't, you are a role model for me." ”

As soon as Fang Shusheng said this, Luo Caizi immediately looked at him, and said expressionlessly: "Brother Fang doesn't need to say this in the future, Lin Xi's literary talent may not be as good as me, but I am not as good as him." He turned his head to look at the transcript through the crowd and chuckled rarely, "Well, I should know how to deal with myself in the future." ”

Fang Shusheng was confused when he heard this, "What does Brother Luo mean by this? Brothers are trying to find a way to get justice, what are you ......?"

"What kind of justice? How can it not be fair if your skills are not as good as others?" Luo Caizi said with a straight face when he said this, "Brother Fang, although I looked down on Lin Xi before, I don't want to participate in the trouble, I advise you to stop, even if you pull Lin Xi off the horse, you won't get any benefits, it's better to work hard and strive for the next high school." ”

"Brother Luo, you ......" Fang Shusheng looked at Luo Caizi in surprise, and then lowered his face and said, "Yes, although you are not the champion, the list is already good, so why fight again." ”

Luo Caizi suddenly lowered his face together, "I didn't mean that, I also read Lin Xi's scroll, if he is really incompetent and incompetent, I am willing to throw away this list of identities, but now I admire him." ”

It was not easy to say the words of admiration from Luo Caizi's mouth, and Fang Shusheng was suppressed.

Standing in front of that transcript are more people who have passed the age and are standing, and most of them are officials in the court.

Xiao Yuheng also came to the Gongyuan with his friends, and he expressed great interest in the scrolls that his cousin favored the emperor even if he was caught in the rumors, so he came in a hurry.

When I saw it, I was ashamed.

Li Shen said: "Xiao Dalang, your cousin, you are amazing, ordinary people can't write such a volume." ”

Xiao Yuheng smiled hehehehe, and Yi Rongyan. As soon as this transcript comes out, who is still entangled in that bit of.

His cousin is really patient, good-tempered, good-looking, well-learned, and has a unique style.

"The prince really knows the torch. Li Shenyi praised again, but Xiao Yuheng's face suddenly wrinkled.

This bully guy just made a bold statement yesterday, it is none other than his cousin, and the Yongning Hou Mansion doesn't know how to solve this matter, it's really bad to think about it.

According to the custom, after the champion, the list of eyes, and the exploration of flowers, there will be an activity of playing horses and parading the streets, so that the people of the capital can take a look at the top three of today's branches, have a glimpse of the style, and then there will be a Qionglin banquet tomorrow.

And Lin Xi didn't have the chance to participate, and at this time he was being locked in the study by Mr. Bai...... Copying books, in the beautiful name of meditation.

And Zhao Jingyi, who was outside the door, naturally still couldn't see his sweetheart, and his increasingly cold face made the surroundings instantly retreat.

He really underestimated this old man's stubbornness, and he didn't even let Lin Xi out at this time, this is a protest! And Lin Xi is not a girl, could it be that she will be locked up in the boudoir for the rest of her life?

No matter how good Zhao Jingyi's heart is, he can't help but be a little irritable, you must know that he hasn't seen Lin Xi since the rumors, and even Zhao Yuanrong's coquettish rolling doesn't work.

Now Mr. Bai is guarding him like a thief, he just climbed the wall in the middle of the night, and he could see the family below walking around with torches, he hadn't been provoked like this for a long time, but this person was his teacher!

Zhao Jingyi rode on a horse and looked gloomily at the closed gate of the White Mansion, and the big black horse kicked his hooves impatiently until someone was sent from the palace.

Emperor Xia Jing also heard about it, but it was always not good for Zhuang Yuanlang's innocent absence, and he heard that his nephew had eaten a closed door again, so he sent someone to Baifu.

The envoy couldn't close the door, but the gatekeeper of the White Mansion was also clever, and after letting the messenger in, he immediately closed the door, so that he didn't have to face the black-faced Prince Rui.

Mr. Bai received the envoy and only said: "There was a word in front of the little apprentice hall, explaining in detail the matter of the sea ban for the emperor, and now he is cultivating, this street parade is just a formality, how to deal with this matter is important." Besides, it's better for him to keep a low profile now, so I'm afraid that Qionglin Banquet will not be able to attend, so please ask the emperor to atone for his sins. In addition, can you ask the emperor to recall the people outside the door as well, this kind of loving apprentice really dare not be. ”

Mr. Bai is the emperor's most respected teacher, so the envoy did not dare to slack off, and the emperor just asked, and did not ask Lin Xi to go to the street, so he did not sit for a long time and went back to the palace to resume his life.

However, when he got out of the gate, he specially glanced at Prince Rui a few times, and went back to the palace to describe it to the emperor.

In the end, Zhao Jingyi, who didn't wait for the result, had to turn the horse's head with a black face.

Emperor Xia Jing listened to this and spit out a word, "Yes." ”

Concubine Shu covered her mouth and smiled secretly, Emperor Xia Jing pinched her nose, pointed to one of the three names presented and said, "Just the girl of the Tian family, I remember that you announced that Mrs. Tian entered the palace three times, so it can be seen that you like this girl very much." ”

Concubine Shu suddenly bent her eyes, "I can't hide anything from the emperor, the concubine just likes Tian Wan's quiet and lovely appearance." ”

Emperor Xia Jing nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The head of the household is about to return to his hometown, Tian Aiqing has always been conscientious, and it is time to move." ”

Concubine Shu's eyes immediately lit up, "Concubine Xie Emperor for his grace." ”

"Haha, Jing Yu has seen Tian Wan?" After finalizing the candidate, Emperor Xia Jing couldn't help but ridicule.

I only heard a playful smile on Concubine Shu's face, "See, he happened to come to see Yan'er that day, but Yan'er was playing with Miss Tian, this time, our Nine Emperor Princes didn't know where to put their hands and feet, and their faces were redder than the girl's house, and then ...... And ran away. ”

"Unproductive boy. Emperor Xia Jing scolded with a smile.

Concubine Shu responded, "No, I thought he didn't like it, but I didn't expect that as soon as Mrs. Tian and Miss Tian left, I ran back again, and asked the concubine openly and secretly, which shows that he is interested." ”

"I'm still a little immature. Emperor Xia Jing said, "It's okay, the mansion is almost repaired, and when the spring affair is over, the marriage will be put on the agenda, and the wedding will be held as soon as possible." ”

There were patrol battalions on both sides of the main street to stop the onlookers from rushing into the streets, and Bangyan and Tanhua had also ridden white horses to parade the streets to the sound of gongs and drums, but the champion was missing.

Zhao Yuanrong had already occupied the best viewing place, chartered a wing room with a wide view, ordered snacks, and waited for his cousin to carry a big red silk flower and wear a champion robe to beat a horse from below, the scene must be very exciting.

However, when the street parade team came, they found that there were only Bangyan and Tanhua, how could the two of them be as close as to his cousin?

Zhao Yuanrong was so angry that he ran back to the palace, and rushed into Zhao Jingyi's study, only to find that it was his father's turn to practice big characters with his cantilever at this time.

"You're back, is it pretty?"

Zhao Jingyi asked without raising his head.

As soon as he said this, Zhao Yuanrong suddenly pursed his lips and said dissatisfied: "I don't have a cousin, what is there to look at, it is a waste of time in this world." ”

Zhao Jingyi ignored his son, and he was also very unhappy at this time.

So Zhao Yuanrong leaned up and glanced at the word, which was full of Lin Xi's name, all of them were vigorous and powerful, and they were full of good spirit, just how to look at how helpless.

So he cautiously asked, "Didn't you see it either?"

Zhao Jingyi glanced at him, but still didn't speak.

Zhao Yuanrong then held his face and said melancholy: "Rong'er hasn't seen it for a long time, the master said that no one in the Rui Wangfu is allowed to enter the door, alas, this is not something I can decide, Rong'er can't help himself, it's obviously his father's fault, but he wants to hurt the pond fish...... Ouch!"

Zhao Yuanrong touched his head, raised his head and glared at his father, only to see Zhao Jingyi withdraw his hand and sneered: "Since it is my father's fault, then tomorrow my father will ask for a decree to continue, what do you think of Jing'an? Presumably, after the wedding, you will be able to enter and leave the White Mansion freely...... But don't even think about meeting your cousin. ”

Thinking of the county lord of Jing'an, Zhao Yuanrong suddenly shook his head like a rattle, and objected loudly, "No, father, how you talk doesn't count, if you want to marry, you have to marry your cousin." ”

"Then shut up, is your homework done?

"Needless to say, I do it every day, huh. Zhao Yuanrong walked out of the study angrily, and said in his mouth, "What's the use of writing in the house, you must write with sincerity in the book, carry the thorn on your back and bear the thorn bare-chested, please go......

When he met Gonggong Cao on the way, Zhao Yuanrong finally had a place to say bad things about his father, and Gonggong Cao was really speechless for a long time.

"Shizi, tomorrow Qionglin banquet, will Gongzi Lin attend?"

Zhao Yuanrong tilted his head, and immediately ran to the study.

Zhao Jingyi listened to his son's words, then raised his hand to hold the pen and looked at his own words, and said leisurely: "I have a plan for my father." ”

Zhao Yuanrong was anxious and urged: "The palace gate is about to close, tomorrow is the Qionglin banquet, why don't you care at all?"

Zhao Jingyi looked at his son who was in a hurry, so he put the pen down and commanded: "Prepare the horse and enter the palace." 166 Reading Network
