Chapter 51 Examinations

"Is that Brother Cheng Yan Cheng also going to take the exam?" Xu Lan suddenly came to her senses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Of course, Cheng Yan is definitely going to take the exam this year, didn't you see that his wedding date is scheduled for July?" Lin Rusong looked like a matter of course.

"We've already said that we'll drink together after the exam, and you can come together then," Lin Rusong said.

Xu Lan quickly refused when she heard the drink, "No, no, no, you are all literati who have gained fame, you must have endless things to say together, so I won't join in the fun." ”

"Then we'll talk about it then." After speaking, Lin Rusong smiled evilly.

Xu Lan hurriedly ate the meal by dividing it by two, and let the three of them eat it quickly. Then he said goodbye to Lin Rusong at the door of the store and quickly asked him to go back to review his homework.

Qingzhu is also in favor, after all, there is an exam tomorrow, although the old lady did not ban his feet like before, but at this time it is better to be careful.

Lin Rusong didn't stay long, went back to the inn and rode away.

In the afternoon, Xu Lan and Shunzi went to see another house, this room is a little bigger, and it is also a courtyard house, but it is a little older than the original house, and the people living nearby are also a little miscellaneous, and there are all kinds of things, and the price is cheaper. But Xu Lan felt that if this was the case, it would be better than the courtyard in front of her, the surrounding environment would be better, and the people who lived in Xijing were basically local people, so it was a little more reassuring to live in this way. Xu Lan set the courtyard in front of her and asked Shunzi to pay the deposit to settle down.

Xu Lan went back to the inn first, Xu Yiliang had already returned, and was Wen Shu, Li An, oh no, it's Xizi, Xizi was guarding the door, and when she saw Xu Lan coming back, she called a thousand children, and then said that the master was in Wenshu, so you can come back and take care of yourself.

Xu Lan asked him if he had seen the examination room?

Kiko said that she was already optimistic.

Because the younger brother in the family was named Xu An, Li An changed his name to Li Xi. Usually call him Kiko.

Xu Lan didn't go in anymore when she heard this, and went into her room.

In the evening, Xu Yiliang just asked Xizi to order food to eat in the room.

Xu Lan and Shunzi ate some casually.

Xu Lan looked at Xu Yiliang racing against time, which could not be said to be unserious, but this was also a kind of unconfident performance. The result will be known tomorrow.

The next day, Xu Lan asked Shunzi to send Xu Yiliang to the examination room early, and Xu Lan sent it to the door of the inn.

Xu Lan didn't have anything to do, so she went to the street to take a stroll, this Xijing City is several times larger than Huaiyang County, and it is also known as Little Jinling, which is naturally very prosperous. It's a pity that Xu Lan's silver is limited and she doesn't dare to shop on a large scale, Xu Lan still can't help but buy some gadgets, buy a rattle for Xu An, buy a bracelet for Xu Tang, and bring a pen for Xu Xuan.

Xu Lan deliberately looked for a shop that sold a group fan, and found that this fan was varied, with a wide variety, and also saw the legendary silk fan, sure enough, the fan surface was like a knife carving, the image looked quite three-dimensional, the handle was also well-made, and the fan pendant below was also a lot of money A round jade, this fan was priced at three hundred taels of silver, which was worth a house!

Other fans also cost a few taels to dozens of taels of silver.

After visiting two or three such shops, Xu Lan probably knew the style and type of this fan in her heart, and she didn't want to go any further, because she only watched, only asked the price and didn't buy it, and people looked at him as a teenager, dressed ordinarily, so they all went from the beginning of enthusiasm to the later don't want to take care of it.

The exam was divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon, so Xu Lan ate casually at the inn at noon, and waited for Xu Yiliang to come back while resting at the inn.

Before five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Yiliang and the others had not come back, Qingzhu came over first, saying that Lin Rusong had a banquet in Shunfeng Building and invited Xu Song to participate, but Xu Lan refused without thinking about it. Qingzhu said with a bitter face: "The young master said, if you don't go, it's okay, he can't help with the store's affairs." Qingzhu glanced at her a few times after speaking.

Xu Lan took a breath, is this guy threatening him.

Without him, I wouldn't be able to find a shop?

Xu Lan took a breath of relief, thinking that going to the banquet was small, but they all drank so well, and it would be bad if they got drunk for a while, and something went wrong. Thinking about it, Lin Rusong can't really be angry with her, it's a big deal to go and ask him for guilt early tomorrow morning.

Xu Lan thought about it and said, "Qingzhu, you see that my father hasn't come back yet, it's really inconvenient for me to go over, and I really don't know how to drink at this banquet." In this way, I will come to him again early tomorrow morning to plead guilty, is it okay? ”

Qingzhu saw that Xu Lan said sincerely, and also felt that the young master was a little domineering, but he knew the temper of this young master, if he didn't call Xu Lan, maybe he would point at his nose and scold him for being a waste.

Xu Lan saw that Qingzhu was still hesitating, so she said again: "Early tomorrow morning, I will be allowed to go to the gate of the mansion to ask for guilt." ”

Qingzhu thought that if he didn't go, he couldn't tie it with a rope, tomorrow morning, he would go to ask for guilt, he would also pay the errand, so he saluted and left.

This Qingzhu walked for a while, Xu Yiliang and Shunzi came back, Xu Yiliang did not have the relaxation and happiness after the big exam, Xu Lan looked at the solemnity on his smile and estimated whether he did not do well in the exam, so he didn't ask him how he did in the exam.

Xu Yiliang said that he had promised his friend to go to his friend's house for dinner in the evening, and let Xu Lan have dinner by herself.

Xu Yiliang asked Shunzi to send him over, and asked him to pick him up again in two hours.

Shunzi sent Xu Yiliang first, and after coming back, Xu Lan took Shunzi and Xizi to the Xiucai restaurant for dinner, because she rested for an afternoon, Xu Lan's spirit got better, and I heard earlier that the nightlife in the Qingying River Qingying Street in Xijing is famous, and it is estimated that it is similar to the Qinhuai River in the previous life, so I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, that is, I would not meet acquaintances, and I didn't have to lie to my family.

When Shunzi heard that Xu Lan was going to Qingyinghe, he blushed and remained silent for a long time, of course he also knew where Qingyinghe was, but he felt that this move was very inappropriate, and he was unwilling to take Xu Lan there.

Xu Lan didn't care about him, and said If you don't want to, forget it, I'll take a look myself, and I'll drive the carriage by myself.

Junko really wanted to know what was in this young lady's head, and the other young ladies were afraid to avoid it, but he was about to go up, and he didn't worry about her alone, so he paused and chased after her.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of Qingying Street, there was faint vocal music. Xu Lan got out of the carriage, asked Junzi to store the carriage, and walked all the way to the river.

This Qingying River is several times larger than the Xijin River, the painting boat Lingbo has up to three floors high, the carved buildings on both sides of the river bank stand in a forest, the red lanterns are hung everywhere and the lanterns are brilliant, the gold powder towers, the scales are one after another, and the night is a glamorous color.

A fresh fragrance hits the riverside, and layers of willows and oleanders spread along the riverside.

There are many shops in the riverside restaurant, which is crowded with people, the bead curtain at the door is shaking, and the courtesans who play the qin and the storyteller who beat the beat can be faintly seen in the restaurant.

The painting boats on the river come and go, twisting and turning, the swaying curtains blown by the wind are shocked, and the ears are filled with the sound of flutes, drums, pianos, and tactful singing, which makes people addicted to it and can't help themselves.

There are all kinds of snacks on the street, such as roasted cakes, beef potstickers, tofu, small lantern festivals, five-color lambs, all of which are fragrant.

In the distance, the green building fluttered with various colored gauze ribbons, and all kinds of women could be seen upstairs, although it was not clear, but she could also feel her enchanting and charming color.

The streets are bustling with people, coming and going. There are drunk and staring at the friends next to them hurriedly supporting, there are those who are in a hurry to go to the appointment, there are those who enjoy the food, from time to time there are small sedan chairs carried by, the wind blows the curtains, and the shining sideburns inside are faintly visible, which makes people can't help but peep.

Xu Lan was shocked by the bustling scenery in front of her, and she finally understood why Xu Yiliang was obsessed with it night after night.

The flowers are getting more and more charming!

Looking at this Qingying River, the Xijin River looks like some green vegetables and tofu.

Xu Lan came back to her senses after a while, and she didn't know where she had gone.

Hurriedly turned back to find Junko, but fortunately, Junko was behind her.

Xu Lan looked at Junzi's light expression and despised herself a little.

Maybe Junzi has been here a few times before, so maybe it's not so shocking, Xu Lan told herself.

Xu Lan couldn't help but be greedy when she looked at the snacks on the street, and asked Shunzi to buy all kinds of snacks.
