After Dongfang Yan left, Qiu Yinming took the topic, leaned on the side of the bed, and the words and sentences in his mind were mixed, and I don't know how long it took, someone brought hot water, so he washed it and rested. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info It is also strange to say that in the early morning, before dawn, suddenly the thoughts flowed, he immediately got up and sharpened the ink, waved his pen in one go, and was quite satisfied with it by himself. Pushing open the window, the dawn appeared, a fragrance in the courtyard, and I felt relaxed, and I went out to fight.

After halfway through the fist and kick, he felt that his whole body was warm, and suddenly there was a knock on the door behind him, and he turned around to see Dongfang Yan leaning out of the house wearing a cotton jacket. "Brother Qiu, it's so early." Dongfang Yan walked into the courtyard and wrapped his padded jacket tightly. Qiu Yinming put away his movements and said, "I have already written the topic given to me yesterday. "So fast!" Dongfang Yan exclaimed. Qiu Yinming said: "I haven't written an article for a long time, and I don't know why there is more ink in my stomach." Would you like to take a look? Dongfang Yan hurriedly said: "Bring it quickly, bring it quickly." Qiu Yinming entered the room and took out the article he had just written, and handed it to Dongfang Yan. Dongfang Yan took a look at it and said: "What my sister said is not bad, it is indeed a good word." So I slowly read it from the beginning, and when I saw the highlights, I shook my head and recited.

The two of them gathered together to read the article, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps at the gate of the courtyard, looked up, and saw Dongfang Lin walking in with a smile. Dongfang Lin said as soon as he saw the two of them: "Why do you read articles early in the morning?" Dongfang Yan said with a happy face: "Lin'er, Brother Qiu wrote an article yesterday, and I'm reading it." "How?" Dongfang Lin asked. Dongfang Yan said like a pedant: "One word, good." Dongfang Lin smiled: "Why are the words so long on weekdays, but today they are so concise?" Show me. "Reach out and read it. Dongfang Yan said to Qiu Yinming: "Look at her, it's so unreasonable." Dongfang Lin smiled at the two of them, still lowered his head to read, nodded after reading, and said, "Brother, except for your article, I haven't seen such a good one." He said to Qiu Yinming: "Brother Qiu, it turns out that you can also write eight-strand essays." Qiu Yinming said: "Brother Dongfang asked me to write it." Dongfang Lin nodded, rolled his eyes and smiled at Dongfang Yan and said, "Brother, you are very smart." Dongfang Yan didn't know what she was talking about. Dongfang Lin said again: "Brother Qiu, are you still satisfied with the house?" Qiu Yinming said: "Miss Dongfang is smart and capable, I am grateful." Dongfang Lin waved his hand and said, "Brother Qiu, let's call me Dongfang, I'm used to hearing it." Anyway, Dongfang is my surname, and it doesn't hurt. Hey, why are you two called Brother Dongfang and Brother Qiu, who is the biggest? Dongfang Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know." Brother Qiu Guigeng? Qiu Yinming said: "Twenty-three." Dongfang Lin immediately smiled: "Ha." It turns out that you are a year older than my brother. Dongfang Yan asked again: "Does Brother Qiu have a table?" Qiu Yinming said: "The word is obvious." ”

At this time, a girl brought face water. Dongfang Lin said: "You guys wash first, I'll go see grandpa, and have breakfast in a while." So he trotted all the way out. Dongfang Yan smiled and said, "Looking at her smug look, maybe she is using some bad brains again." Qiu Yinming said to him: "You should be very happy to have such a sister." Dongfang Yan said: "Yes." But I must treat her well when I have the chance. Qiu Yinming could see that he didn't have this opportunity.

After the two washed up, they came to the flower hall where they had dinner last night, and saw that the dishes and chopsticks had been placed on the table, and soon Dongfang Lin pushed his grandfather in, and sat down after greeting each other. After eating for a while, the old man Dongfang said to Dongfang Yan and Qiu Yinming: "Listen to Lin'er, the two of you get along well. Young Master Qiu, I have something to ask for. Qiu Yinming hurriedly said: "The juniors don't dare to be, the seniors, please speak." The old man said: "My grandson is going to the capital next year to participate in the examination, but he has never been out, he is not familiar with the world, my legs are inconvenient, and Lin'er can't accompany him. Qiu Yinming nodded and said, "There is no problem with this." Don't worry, senior, I will accompany him to Beijing. ”

Qiu Yinming has been settled in Qilin Villa for a while, since the day he first met Dongfang Yan, the two of them have a sense of seeing each other and hating each other, getting along day and night, reading books and articles together, and walking in the mountains and wilderness with Dongfang Lin when the weather is fine, carefree.

One evening, Dongfang Yan was about to go to bed, when someone suddenly knocked on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Dongfang Lin. Dongfang Lin made a silent gesture, moved into the house, closed the door, and said, "I have something to discuss with you." Dongfang Yan said: "What kind of bad thing, do you want to talk about it secretly at night?" "Good thing. You must be interested. Dongfang Lin dragged a chair and sat down.

Dongfang Yan sat down on the opposite bed and said, "Say it quickly." Dongfang Lin blinked his eyes and said, "To put it bluntly, do you want Brother Qiu to enter the examination room in the capital with you?" Dongfang Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "This is your idea again?" Dongfang Lin said angrily: "It was my idea. I know you best. Dongfang Yan thought for a while and said, "But can this work?" He didn't say that he wanted to test for fame. Dongfang Lin said: "Didn't you originally and didn't want fame?" "This ......" Dongfang Yan felt that this thing was too ridiculous. Dongfang Lin interrupted him and said, "Let me tell you, I mentioned it to my grandfather just now." Hey, he nodded. ”

Dongfang Yan shook his head and said, "You guys are really ...... He is not a lifter, and he doesn't even have a household registration, how can he test the law? Even if we all agreed, it wouldn't work. "Brother, if you say that you are roundabout, you are roundabout, as long as he nods, it is easy to handle the matter of household registration." Dongfang Lin seemed to say with certainty. Dongfang Yan said: "You and grandpa always make fun of me, even if I can open my mouth, will he agree?" Dongfang Lin smiled: "We join forces." Wait a few days, and then I'll get the man's writings, and then you can mention it to him. Dongfang Yan exclaimed: "Raise people's writing!" What are you going to do? Dongfang Lin stood up and said, "Don't worry, look at me, he will agree." "Let's go out. Dongfang Yan grabbed her and said, "Sister, this is not child's play!" Dongfang Lin turned around and said: "Our Dongfang family is engaged in the business of rivers and lakes, you can rest assured, I and my grandfather will handle it." Dongfang Yan gasped, closed the door and slept on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time before falling asleep.

In the next four or five days, Dongfang Lin really went out a few times disguised as a man, and Dongfang Yan was always unsettled, until one night, Dongfang Lin came again. As soon as she entered the house, Dongfang Yan asked, "Did you really get it?" Dongfang Lin nodded, took out an envelope from his arms, stuffed it into him, and said, "Open it and see, can you recognize what is wrong?" Dongfang Yan looked at her in disbelief, hurriedly opened the envelope, took out the text in black and white, and it was clearly written that Qiu Yinming was the twenty-first person in Yazhou Mansion in the fourth year of Jingtai, and the big seal of Yazhou Mansion below was impressive. Isn't this a crime! Dongfang Yan looked nervous. Dongfang Lin said: "A person like you who is a thief with a weak heart can only study. You see, this big seal is absolutely reliable, and there were only twenty people in Yazhou Mansion back then. It's not the first time they've done this kind of writing, and there's no problem. Dongfang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, okay." But who knows if he would do such a thing. ”

Dongfang Lin smiled: "I bet he must have done a lot of illegal things." Dongfang Yan sighed: "Alas, we are not good people in this way. "No, brother." Dongfang Lin Zhengse said: "We are all good people. Let me tell you the truth, grandpa hopes that both of you can be admitted and become officials. Dongfang Yan was taken aback, only to hear her continue: "Do you think the people are doing well now?" Dongfang Yan was silent. Dongfang Lin said: "People like you should be officials, not to glorify their ancestors, but to do some good things for the people." ”

Dongfang Yan didn't expect that his sister, who was usually careless, would say this, think about it, and say seriously: "Okay." We'll bring it up to him tomorrow. However, if anyone can get this line, isn't it a mess? Dongfang Lin smiled: "You really don't know the market outside, this line was obtained by my old butler Topeng, how can anyone buy it?" Okay, think about it first, tomorrow Brother Qiu will go for a walk outside the mountain, and we will come together to convince him. ”

The next day, the sun was shining, and early in the morning, the Dongfang brothers and sisters invited Qiu Yinming to take a walk on the farmland at the foot of Qixia Mountain. At this time, it is the end of the month, there are high stacks of straw at the edge of the field, when the farm is slack, the children in the small village take bamboo poles as horses, the old people sit at the door of the house to bask in the sun, the women are busy sewing new clothes and shoes for the New Year, and the frosted vegetables in the large and small vegetable fields are particularly attractive. The three did not dare to approach the village, for fear that their clothing would surprise the countrymen. Breathing in the air full of the scent of rice, I am in a good mood.

Dongfang Lin fiddled with a straw and said: "It's almost the New Year, brother, you gnaw on those four books every day, are you sure about next year's exam?" ”

"Ah, is this," Dongfang Yan saw her winking at him, nodded and said, "It is indeed quite effective to have Chengxian accompany me to review my homework." ”

"By the way," Dongfang Lin said, "I read the articles that Brother Qiu wrote a few days ago, and they are really outstanding. Brother Qiu, if you are interested in going to school, you can probably be admitted to the Jinshi exam just like my brother now. ”

Qiu Yinming smiled: "Maybe." But I came from a poor background and wandered around, so I didn't have a chance to enter the imperial examination, let alone enter the official career. ”

Dongfang Lin said: "Actually, we don't really like the career economy. But people like my brother can't do what they like. "yes." Dongfang Yan said, "Originally, it was to make my father happy. Later, thanks to listening to your words, after thinking about it, I felt that although I had wronged myself, if I was admitted to become an official, I would have the opportunity to do some good things for the people, which can be said to be a real achievement compared to the Guangyao family. ”

Qiu Yinming shook his head and said, "Where, this has nothing to do with me." Yu Jing has great ambitions, and if he gives a good opportunity today, it is a gratifying thing. ”

Dongfang Yan said: "Chengxian, after accompanying me to Beijing, what are your plans?" ”

Qiu Yinming said: "Not yet." Turning his face, he looked excited, as if he had something big to say, so he asked, "What's wrong?" But he didn't see Dongfang Lin making a face towards Dongfang Yan behind his back.

Dongfang Yan coughed and said, "Chengxian, there is something I want to ask you now." After a pause, he said loudly, "Would you like to participate in the Beijing Examination with me?" ”

"How can I ......" As soon as Qiu Yinming spoke, Dongfang Lin immediately stood beside Dongfang Yan and said, "Of course you can!" If girls can participate, I'll go too. Don't you see that there are so many poor people in the world, so many unfair things? The imperial court is not doing well, so people like you should have the opportunity to be an official like my brother. After a pause, he said, "Brother Qiu, you also understand that there are not many opportunities to succeed in learning. ”

Qiu Yinming was silent for a while, looked at the determined appearance of the brother and sister, and said slowly: "Thank you two for your kindness...... But I'm not a lifter. ”

Dongfang brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled, and Dongfang Yan said: "You are lifting people today." Take a look at this. He took out the line from his bosom and handed it to him, "As long as you dare to do it, we will go together." Qiu Yinming opened it and said in surprise: "Isn't this fake?" Dongfang Lin smiled: "It's true to get it in the capital." Take it, my grandfather and I guarantee that it is no problem with the reputation of the Oriental family. "Your grandfather knows too?" Qiu Yinming thought this was too bizarre. Dongfang Lin said: "Grandpa hopes to have more good officials." Qiu Yinming thought for a while, put away the line and said, "Okay." I'll go. Dongfang Lin smiled at his brother: "How is it?" I'm right. Celebrate at noon today, and I'll go back and open a jar of good wine. ”
