Chapter 52: Lin Xi enters the palace in the spring
Spring green sprouts, warm sunshine.
Lin Xi went to Chongjin Hall to greet Mrs. Tai and then prepared to go to King Rui's Mansion.
"Xi'er is going, although the body of the prince is important, but you must also be careful, your body is just not long, you must pay attention not to be tired."
Mrs. Tai held Lin Xi's hand and patted it gently, her face was full of love, and there was a touch of pride and worry in her eyes.
Lin Xi's heart flowed warmly, "Grandmother, don't worry, Xi'er has a sense of proportion, you also have to take care of your body, it is most likely to get sick when it is warm and cold in spring." Xi'er is estimated to be going for half a month, if my grandmother misses me, I will take the time to come back to see you, not far away. ”
Mrs. Tai nodded.
After Lin Xi said goodbye, he boarded the carriage of King Rui's mansion, and Wei Yi whipped the carriage and went forward.
Suddenly, I heard the sledgehammer beating the drum outside, and after three heavy sounds, I heard a man shouting, "Open the door-" solemnly.
Lin Xi raised the curtain of the car, and saw a vermilion building in front of him slowly opening the four main doors, and a group of readers with baskets or backpacks in front of the door were stretching their necks to look inside, looking excited, apprehensive, and dazed from a distance......
Lin Xi then remembered that today was the day of spring.
Ten years of hard work is just for a few days.
His gaze swept through the crowd, and before the carriage was about to leave, he finally saw a few familiar faces.
Pei Xuan, Zhan Shusheng and others were standing next to the stone lion at the door talking in a low voice, each carrying or carrying an exam basket in their hands, perhaps they were divided into groups, but under the eyes of many anxious eyes, the faces of this group of scholars were extremely calm, as if they were in their chests, which showed their confidence in their own knowledge.
There are also people like Wei Qian, surrounded by slaves, holding the exam basket for him, beating his shoulders to encourage and cheer up, and not looking at those shabby students.
Their future starts from this vermilion tribute courtyard, and when the pen ends, their future fate will be their own thing.
Lin Xi lowered the curtain and sighed deeply.
"Young master, don't worry, the master used to praise you for being smart, if it weren't for your poor health, I'm afraid that if you were a high school champion early, Pei Gongzi wouldn't be as good as you." Yuan Yuan said to Lin Xi with a fat face and a smile.
Where is he regretting this, but the comfort of the fat girl made Lin Xi's heart warm slightly, so he nodded.
After Lin Xi arrived at the palace, he came directly to Qi Yunxuan, Zhao Jingyi was waiting for him in front of the hall, and there was a smiling Gonggong Cao next to him.
"Young Master Lin, the miscellaneous family is looking forward to you."
Lin Xi snorted slightly, and after arching his hand to Gonggong Cao, he saluted Zhao Jingyi and said, "I've seen the prince." ”
"What a courtesy." Zhao Jingyi walked a few steps, but Lin Xi seemed to feel something, raised his head and had alertness in his eyes, so he stopped not far away, his expression remained unchanged, but his tone was gentle, "You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a stalker." ”
I hope you can do what you say, Lin Xi sneered.
After that day, Lin Xi didn't want to see this again if he didn't have to, but he couldn't push the previous promise to be Zhao Yuanrong's attending doctor, so he could only bite the bullet, "Thank you for your understanding." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Jingyi's face was not unhappy, but with a hint of a smile, Lin Xi was puzzled, but suddenly felt that his robe was being torn off, and when he turned his head to look down, Zhao Xiaoshizi was looking up at him with a happy face.
"Cousin, my father didn't lie to me this time, you really came."
The big ones can't work, the small ones are up, Lin Xi suddenly felt that he was being pulled into a deep pit.
Lin Xi was not busy administering needles when he came to Rui Wang's Mansion at this time, but first adjusted Zhao Yuanrong's body, just like when he was a child, the entrance of decoction, meal matching, medicinal bathing around the body, replenishing qi and nourishing blood.
Since Zhao Jingyi trusted him, Lin Xi must take it seriously.
Although the serious masters of the entire palace only have Zhao Jingyi and Zhao Yuanrong, the father and son, he will not forget how Zhao Yuanrong was poisoned, and never underestimate the woman in the backyard of the mansion.
He had to carefully inspect everything prepared by the palace, especially the medicinal herbs for the entrance and bathing.
He was pulling a handful, leaning in front of his nose and smelling it, smelling the medicinal fragrance, he sighed in his heart, the prince is the prince, these are not ordinary medicinal materials, it is not easy to collect such a bag, it is rare that they are all first-class.
Just thinking about it, he heard Gu's mother's shout: "Lord Shizi, where can you smell medicinal herbs casually, what should I do if something happens?" You can be careful, put it down, put it down. ”
Lin Xi turned his head and saw that Zhao Yuanrong also grabbed a handful of mugwort leaves in front of him with his small hand like him, leaned in front of his nose and sniffed carefully, as if he smelled a fragrance, so he leaned in and took a big breath, and then was sneezed by the strong smell, so anxious that Zhou's mother screamed.
"Cousin, what is this?"
Lin Xi replied: "Ai Ye, if you apply needles, your house will have to be burned and smoked with this, the smell is a little strong, don't get too close." ”
Zhao Yuanrong nodded and put it down, Gu's mother was also relieved, but she didn't want Zhao Yuanrong to be interested and stretched out her hand to other medicinal materials.
"Lin Gongzi."
Gu's mother called Lin Xi.
The medicinal materials here are all mild, and nothing will happen if you catch and smell it, but Lin Xi still said to Zhao Yuanrong: "Shizi, can you wait for a while in the outer compartment, I will be fine for a while." ”
Zhao Yuanrong's stickiness seems to have been completely stimulated in the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and when he arrived at the palace, his territory, it was even more tenth, where was he willing to agree, and asked with bright eyes: "Is it good for my cousin to teach me to recognize medicinal materials?" Then he thought about it and said, "My father says, 'It would be better for me to know more.'" ”
Moving out of the prestige of King Rui, Gu's mother's persuasion can only be swallowed back by himself.
However, Lin Xi was thinking about another layer, Zhao Yuanrong had already suffered in this deceitful deep mansion compound, and the only heir of the palace was staring at him with more eyes. It is not easy to assassinate him in this mansion in the capital, so I am afraid that there will be no shortage of small means such as secretly poisoning.
Zhao Jingyi is estimated to be aware of this problem, and others are always less likely to have the ability to know medicine and detoxify than they are.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi looked at Zhao Yuanrong's eyes with pity, there was no way to bring it in his mother's womb, but this child was brutally harmed like this.
Seeing Lin Xi agree, Zhao Yuanrong's face immediately bloomed with a brilliant flower, and he was happy to find a trace of gloom.
It's so coaxing, Lin Xi couldn't help but reach out and touch his head, and he felt Zhao Yuanrong rubbing his hand, and for a while, a softness permeated Lin Xi's heart.
is very peculiar, Lin Xi has never been a father in two lives, but there is a good father who loves him in every life, he can always be coquettish and obedient unscrupulously, and because of his illness and weakness, Lin Qing spoiled him and indulged him, and he couldn't wait to hold him to the sky.
He didn't know what it was like to be a father, but such a young child, with trust and attachment written all over his eyes, whether it was a medicinal bath or a decoction, he was obediently cooperative, and the only request was to let him accompany him, Lin Xi felt that his mood at the moment was not far behind.
He could foresee that his feelings for Zhao Yuanrong would be sincere and profound, but he would not admit that it was related to Zhao Jingyi.
But it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, it's not something he said, now that Zhao Jingyi likes it, since he likes Lin Xi, how can he give up lightly.
After all, a powerful person is a powerful person, and what he has learned since childhood is to strive for victory, as a nobleman of Tianhuang, Zhao Jingyi will naturally not be different.
It's just that he is more arrogant, and he doesn't want to be forced by some unpopular means, and if he likes it, he cares more, so he uses Zhao Yuanrong to boil frogs in warm water, and the means are different, as long as the results are the same.
Therefore, Lin Xi treated Zhao Yuanrong more attentively, as long as the medicinal materials he needed were used, he understood them, and taught him to identify them one by one, just like the original Min doctor. But after all, he is not a real doctor, he really doesn't know much about pharmacology, facing Zhao Yuanrong's inquiring face, he can only smile and decide that he will finish the medical book left by Dr. Min, and it is necessary to broaden his medical knowledge.
Three days later, the gates of the Gongyuan were opened
How the students went in energetically at the beginning, and how they come out with dishes on their faces now, these three days will not be easy.
Even Pei Xuan, who has always been personable, also had a pale face, and walked out with other scholars.
"This is only the first game, and there are two more after that, hey, if you don't win this time, won't you have to do it again?" Zhan Shusheng's face turned even paler when he thought of this.
Hearing this, someone immediately comforted: "Brother Zhan will inevitably be uncomfortable when he goes down for the first time, and I am already a little prepared for the second time." ”
"Seeing Brother Pei so calm, I must know it in my heart, and I am gratifying."
Pei Xuan arched his hand, "Brother Xia has won the award, and I hope that the next two games can be spent smoothly." ”
"Just to go through it again, I want to go to high school too!" Someone sighed.
At this time, I heard a few sneers from the side, and when I turned my head, I saw that Wei Qian and other candidates also came out shaking, and the people of the Wei Guogong Mansion who had been waiting at the door for a long time suddenly swarmed up.
"A group of poor sour people think it's beautiful, heh, look at it, next time it's still a few of you."
Wei Qian said and glanced at them contemptuously, especially when he saw Pei Xuan and Zhan Shusheng, the ridicule in his eyes was even better, he would not forget the face that he had lost in the Golden House.
So immediately someone next to him coaxed: "Why bother to be like them, when Brother Wei is in high school, it will be one day and one place, and it will not be too late to clean up after turning back." ”
"That's right, it's not pleasing to look at their pretending to be high, I can't wait for the soulless appearance after the release of the list, what Xie Yuan, what a talent, which one is not a talented person in the capital!"
"Huh." Wei Qian sneered a few times, picked up the folding fan and opened it with a bang, and looked very confident, "When the list is revealed, everyone will come to my house, this must be done." ”
"Then congratulations to Brother Wei first!"
These gentlemen don't know how to be restrained, and they don't care if this is in front of the gate of the Tribute Academy, so they start to tout.
"It's just that it's only one exam, and these people are ......"
"Brother Li, let's not say a word." Pei Xuan dissuaded an indignant fellow countryman, turned his head and squinted his eyes slightly at Wei Qian and the others, and whispered, "I don't say it by mouth. ”
Zhan Shusheng also nodded, "The vitality of the three-day exam is greatly damaged, we might as well go back and rest quickly, tomorrow is the second one, and there is no room for mistakes." ”
As soon as these words came out, a sense of tiredness hit, and he didn't have the energy to entangle with Wei Qian and the others anymore.
It's just that Pei Xuan looked at the laughter over there, looked back at the gate of the Gongyuan that had been closed in Vermilion, and frowned slightly.
Six days later, the examination was finally over, the gate of the Gongyuan was opened, and after all the candidates came out, the closure was sealed and closed, and it was opened again after three years.
The next thing is to wait for the unveiling of the list.
