On the fourth day, candidates from all over the world gathered outside the gate of the Gongyuan, and it was a little noisy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I noticed that some of the candidates around me looked nervous, while some of the older candidates looked calm. Under closer observation, he clenched his fist with one hand, trembling slightly, and was obviously extremely nervous.

Creak! The gate of the Gongyuan was wide open, and I saw a person in an official uniform, leading out. There were several examiners behind him, and the predecessor said: "When the time for the examination is up, all the candidates are ready to enter, choose their seats, take care of their eyes, and dare to cheat and drive out directly." ”

I followed the crowd and walked to the Gongyuan, and an official came over and said, "Candidates are routinely inspected to prevent candidates from cheating, and I hope to cooperate." ”

I stretched out my arms, and the official groped around me, but found nothing unusual. He said, "Please, this is your test number, and you can do the questions corresponding to the examination booth." Later on, Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites will arrive, and you will follow the crowd. ”

The candidates who received the number all gathered in one place and waited for a long time. The attendant on the side shouted, "Your Excellency is here." ”

A middle-aged man walked in the distance, not confused, with a yellowed face, clear eyes, and a sense of majesty in his official uniform. Wearing an old gray official robe, it should be the official of the Ministry of Rites, and there are some people around him, who should be the chief examiner of this year.

"I've seen Lord Shangshu and all my lords," all the candidates shouted in unison.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu walked to the front of the people, waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "All the candidates have come from afar, and the old man doesn't say much, today is the first session of the exam, and the exam questions will be known later." Now you have found an examination booth to prepare for the exam, hoping to give full play to your talents, contribute to the country, and be nominated for the gold list. ”

"Yes" After the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, the candidates agreed to scatter and look for their own examination shed.

The Beijing Gongyuan is very large, and there are many candidates from all over the world, so I followed the instructions and found my own examination booth. A candle had already been lit in the shed, and there was a charcoal fire under the seat, and the weather was still a little cold in the early spring season, so I walked into the examination booth and put my hand on the charcoal fire to roast.

Today is the 9th day of the second lunar month, and the other two are the 12th and 15th of the lunar calendar. The three test items, four books, five words and eight rhymes, five scriptures and questions, are the same as the township test.

The content of the exam in previous years is similar, but it is also quite adaptable, but this is the topic. The exam paper has been sent, and the exam questions are quite simple, so I thought about it and wrote on the exam paper. When I finished writing, I reviewed it, and I only heard the bell of the Gongyuan ringing.

A male voice said loudly: "When the time comes, stop writing and hand in the papers." ”

After exiting the examination room, I talked with candidates from all over the world along the way, and I also benefited a lot. The second test will be three days later, and I will not be without reviewing my homework, and I will not be in a good state after all.

From the ninth to the fifteenth of the exam, I passed the exam smoothly, just waiting for the moment when the results are released....

When I returned to the inn, I saw a horse-drawn carriage in the backyard that looked familiar, and after this last test, I only felt dizzy and didn't pay much attention to it. As soon as I entered the guest room, there was an invitation card on the table, and I picked it up from the table and flipped through it, only to see that the sticker was written.

"On the ninth day of the second month, the county lord of Zhaoyang of the Ming Palace, invited candidates from all over the country to attend the banquet in the Mingyue Tower"

I frowned slightly, and sighed: "Why is this so, it's just that since I am inviting candidates from all over the world, I will go to have a look, and it is not good to lose face with others." ”

At night, I boiled a pot of rice wine, leaned on the windowsill, looked at the sky and the moon, and unconsciously thought of my wife and children at home, and I didn't know whether the child who was born was a man or a woman. After the test, there will be the palace test, if I can't try, how can I be willing to go home like this, what face do I have to meet my wife and children at home.

I drank all the warm wine in my hand, looked at the bright moon, and sighed: "When is the bright moon?" Ask the sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace? I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid that Qionglou Yuyu will be cold in the heights. Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world? Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”

Smack!

The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground, and the whole person fell into a dream, and returned to Puyang County, Baiyun County, in a long-awaited house.

The lights were bright at night, and a group of people were busy, only to hear the old woman say to a small house: "How is it, has the young master come back?" ”

The little guy suddenly knelt down and cried: "The young master is anxious to take the exam and doesn't want to come back, and the villain has followed him to the capital." ”

"Ahh

A woman in the room called, looking particularly painful, and a group of servants held the basin, and the wisps of white eyes in the basin rose. A woman in the room opened the door and took the basin, and said eagerly: "Bring more hot water, this Qiu Niang is going to have a difficult birth, this is good, why did she fall." ”

"Oh, how is this good?" the old woman stomped her foot back and forth as she listened to the woman's words.

I watched from the sidelines, and my body couldn't move, this is my home. And Qiu Niang was giving birth, and the woman's calls were endless, and a feeling of panic gradually emerged.

"No, no, Qiu Niang was bleeding profusely, and the child's position changed due to that fall, and now he can't get out at all. Mother and son are two and one is guaranteed. Nanny, Qiu Niang is estimated to not be able to give birth in the future, Baozi, then Qiu Niang will..."Wen Po ran out of the room, looked at Ye Nian's mother, looked anxious, and said the second half of the sentence, still a little unbearable.

"Baozi, keep my grandson for me, Nian'er loves Qiu Niang too much, and she will never want to take a concubine, I can't let the Ye family die" Old Madam Ye said directly, her voice was a little hoarse, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

"Woo woo"

That Wen Po was obviously shocked, the old lady of the Ye family, who had always been compassionate, actually made such a decision. I was originally listening to Wen Po's words, and I was stunned, listening to my mother give this kind of order, and kept shouting to keep Qiu Niang. But the body kept standing still, and he couldn't say anything when he opened his mouth, and watched Wen Po walk towards the house.

At the moment of closing the door, I sat on the ground, tears kept sliding from the corners of my eyes, why am I so useless at this moment, why am I so anxious, go to Beijing to take the exam. The screams in the room became more intense, and I covered my ears with my hands, not wanting to hear them.

"Ahh

After a long scream, there was no sound in the house, and there was no cry of a baby. I saw Wen Po walking out covered in blood, holding a baby in her arms, Wen Po said: "The child has been in the mother's womb for too long and is suffocated." ”

Rumble!

The sky was cloudy at some point, and thunder rang out, and the courtyard was bright, and showers fell. Old Madam Ye knelt on the ground and cried: "Evil, evil, what has our Ye family done, God wants to punish our Ye family like this." ”

I stood stupidly in place, the news of Qiu Niang's death continued to stimulate me, I took two steps forward, looking at the lifeless child in Wen Po's arms. It was cute, although it had just been born, but it was cute in my eyes, and I touched the child's forehead and walked towards the room.

When I entered the door, I saw blood everywhere, and several little maids were so frightened that they shrank together, and a woman in plain clothes with a miserable face was lying on the bed. At this moment, her eyes were wide open, and her face was painful, and tears kept falling from my eyes. Put your hand on those eyes.

"Ah," I cried out, my voice revealing heart-wrenching sadness and the anger of the son who had abandoned his mother.

"Qiu Niang", I screamed, woke up from the nightmare, fell directly from that position, and fell to the ground. With a cry of pain, I lay on the ground panting, constantly thinking about that dream, and the cold sweat continued to fall.

Knock knock!

There was a sound, and I heard the person outside the door say: "Is Ye Nian here, there is your family letter." ”

I got up and ran to the door, and the messenger gave me a letter, and I said, "Thank you, big brother, this is the reward." ”

I took a silver tael out of my pocket and handed it to the messenger. Open the family letter directly and read it.

"My son is in person, everything is fine at home. Don't read it, Qiu Niang gave birth to a son, wait for you to add a red robe,..."

After reading the book, a man said in a male voice: "Brother Ye, today the county lord has a banquet in Mingyue Tower, how about I go together at noon." ”

"Thank you Brother Li for your kindness, I want to go to the small temple of the ancient road to burn incense, I will be there later," I politely declined.

Listening to my words, that Li Gongzi may be unhappy, and left without replying. I got ready, climbed the ancient plank road again, and prayed in the small temple that I only wished that my home would be well. At noon, the monks in the temple saw that I was sincere and gave me a bowl of rice to eat.

At night, when I came to the bright moon tower, I was invited and taken to the restaurant, and everyone saw me coming. He praised again and again: "Those who are late will be punished with three glasses of wine." ”

Originally, the amount of alcohol was not good, but I was very bored in my heart, so I took the wine glass and drank it all, and gradually chatted happily and drank more. In a daze, I was taken to a bedroom by a group of people, and I was already drunk at the moment.

A scent of orchid struck, and a shadow danced in front of me, and the dancing posture gave me a sense of familiarity. The dancing figure gradually overlaps with the person in memory.

"Qiu Niang" I stepped forward and hugged the figure, sniffing the fragrance of the orchid on the tip of my nose, and constantly calling Qiu Niang's name in my mouth. The man in his arms trembled and responded with a soft voice.

"Nian Lang"

The person in my arms hugged me reflexively, with a face slightly powdered, full red lips, and silky eyes. With her sharp twin peaks, thin waist, and tight-fitting robe, although she has a sense of immaturity, she can't hide her proud figure.

Although it is different from the Qiu Niang in her memory, she revealed a hint of charm and kissed the red lips. The woman's whispering voice sounded in her ears, the moonlight outside the window was hazy, the spring color in the room was still there, and a few gasps were heard from time to time.
