Chapter 57: Qingyun List
In the blink of an eye, two months passed quietly, and the day of the civil and military competition was getting closer and closer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the past two months, in addition to eating, drinking, and Lazar, most of the time, Li Bai has been in his own room, forgetting to sleep and eat, and no one in the entire Loei Province knows about this.
In the past two months, Nianwen has not been able to see Li Bai at all except during mealtime, although there is a faint loss in his heart, but he is still very relieved to see Li Bai working so hard to prepare for the civil and military double examination.
At this moment, Nianwen sat in a pavilion in the courtyard of the wing room, holding incense cheeks in his hand, with loneliness in his moon-like starry eyes, looking at the porcelain glazed teacup on the stone table in a daze, and his long hair was scattered on the delicate body, slightly lonely and slightly lost.
The breeze blows outside the gazebo, occasionally blowing in a few mulberry leaves around the gazebo, fluttering, making the pavilion and the outside of the pavilion smeared with a sense of loneliness.
The tea in the teacup has long been out of temperature, and the breeze blows, setting off bursts of ripples, reflecting Nianwen's stunned appearance, as the ripples gradually blur, as the ripples disappear, they are clearly visible, and so on, after a long time.
Outside the courtyard of the wing, Mrs. Haoyuan, accompanied by two maids, walked towards the courtyard.
Far away, Mrs. Haoyuan saw Nianwen's hand holding incense cheeks, and the appearance of Sijun in a pretty shadow.
Seeing this, Mrs. Haoyuan shook her head and smiled, stretched out her finger, quietly put it to her mouth, and whispered to the maid beside her, "Shh, you guys go down first." ”
The maid answered, bowed slightly, and then moved away quietly.
Seeing that the maid disappeared from sight, Mrs. Haoyuan turned her head, smiled slightly, and walked slowly towards Nianwen in the pavilion.
When he came behind the latter, he saw that Nianwen didn't notice himself at all, so he shook his head and smiled, and couldn't help but quip: "Little Nizi, which bastard are you thinking about?" ”
At this moment, Nianwen had a small complaint about Li Bai in his heart, his thoughts wandered, and he suddenly heard a question in his ear, he didn't think about it at all, as if he had found an outlet, he snorted angrily, and blurted out: "Who else can there be besides Li Bai's stinky guy, hum." ”
Seeing Nianwen's delicate little face with dissatisfaction and a slightly pouting and angry look, Mrs. Haoyuan held back a smile and continued: "Then do you want to teach that stinky guy a hard lesson?" ”
"Hmph, it's time to teach him a lesson... But I can't do it yet, what can I do, alas. Pouting, Xing sat for a long time, slightly uncomfortable, changed his sitting posture with his delicate body, held his cheeks with one hand, and fiddled with the teacup with the other, stunned, and sighed slightly.
At this moment, Nianwen still didn't realize that it was someone else who spoke, and his thoughts wandered, and he still thought that he was talking to himself.
Hearing this, Mrs. Haoyuan couldn't hold back her smile anymore.
Flutter! ――
"Yikes! ――”
Hearing the snickering sound coming from behind him, Nianwen realized that he was not talking to himself, and stood up in a panic, and saw the lady behind him who was covering his mouth and snickering at the moment.
"Husband... Madame..."
At this moment, Nian Wen was ashamed to find a crack in the ground and get in, standing in front of Mrs. Haoyuan, like a grasshopper on a hot pot, neither sitting nor standing, with his head down, pulling his sleeves with both hands, and he couldn't say half a word for a while.
"Ahem..."
Seeing Nianwen's shy appearance, Mrs. Haoyuan hurriedly coughed softly, forcibly stabilized her smile, changed her seemingly calm face, and said loudly: "I didn't hear anything." ”
It's okay not to say it, this statement confirms what Nianwen thinks in his heart.
Thinking that he had just been like a little daughter-in-law, he showed a grudge, and he was even more ashamed, so he pursed his mouth and snorted: "Madam... You make fun of me.... ”
Mrs. Haoyuan pursed her lips and snickered, shook her head and pulled Nianwen to sit down, put the latter's tender little hand in the palm of her hand, and said, "Silly girl, how could Madam make fun of you." ”
clapped the little hand in his palm, and continued: "Your mother left early, and I only have one son under my knees, so even if you two don't have a marriage contract, I know you as my daughter, not to mention that you and Bai'er have a marriage contract, sooner or later it will be a member of my Li family, how can Mrs. make fun of you." ”
Hearing this, he was overjoyed, raised his head and asked cautiously, "Really?" ”
Since ancient times, daughters-in-law are full of nervousness when they see their mother-in-law, for fear that the woman who has been by the side of the man she loves for half her life will be a little dissatisfied, and at this moment, seeing Mrs. Haoyuan like herself so much, Nianwen couldn't be happier in her heart.
pinched Nianwen's little nose dotingly, and responded with a smile: "Of course, stupid girl." ”
Nianwen grinned, rubbing his body towards Mrs. Haoyuan's side like a kitten, with a smile on his face.
Looking at the beloved Nianwen, Mrs. Haoyuan also smiled.

In the past two months, the whole Beijing has become more and more lively, and you can see Confucian students everywhere, carrying large bamboo and wood bookcases, wearing ink-colored high hats, walking between the streets and alleys.
In the streets and alleys, you can see many students standing and debating, often because of an academic knowledge of the big people who are red-faced, and there are even some students holding the scriptures in their hands, slowly and leisurely, not looking at the passers-by at all, and devoting themselves to the scriptures, that is called a hard work.
For a time, the entire Shangjing City seemed to be enriched with Confucianism and a strong style of learning.
The civil and military competition is the most sacred exam in the hearts of the world's bachelors, the so-called ten years of hard study, once the title of the gold list, in order to be famous in the world, for the country, for the community to contribute a little bit of strength.
For this, the literati worked tirelessly to hold candles and recite, and the warriors were not afraid of hardships to smell the chickens and start martial arts, ten years like a day, day after day, year after year.
Every year, the princes of five continents and eight provinces pour into the capital like a tidal wave, including the children of official eunuchs, the sons of merchants, and ordinary people...
It can be said that the entire civil and military competition is really one of the most grand competitions in the Tang Dynasty!
There is a competition, there is a high!
And at this time of every year, there will be people who are proficient in the children of five continents and eight provinces, and a list will be released, which records the hundreds of candidates who are expected to enter the list when they go to Beijing to catch the exam.
For this list, the imperial court did not order a ban, nor did it say a word of encouragement, and no one knew the authenticity of it.
And this has led to some good gamblers, standing up to the table and throwing a lot of money.
As long as it is gambling, there will be wins and losses, some of them may become rich overnight, and some people may also go bankrupt, and no one knows what the outcome will be until the end of the competition.
In short, this list is true and false, deep and shallow, not credible, but it has a bit of intriguing power; It is credible, but there is also a pen of nonsense.
And this makes everyone love and hate the list.
Its name, Qingyun List!
