The triennial Autumn Festival is particularly eye-catching, with children from poor families counting on the Autumn Festival to ascend to the sky, merchants counting on a makeover, and children from the family looking forward to using it as a springboard to further their lives. No one wants to study hard in the cold window for so many years, and go on a business trip when they are on the verge of the door.

Therefore, whether the poor are rich or the children of a family, all will take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation around them as much as possible before such a critical moment, students who do not live in Kyoto and want to take the exam in Kyoto come to Kyoto at least a month in advance to live in the hotel, and those who live in Kyoto have begun to prepare for the clothes and shoes of the exam.

The streets of Kyoto are selling dry food with a soft hand, the sellers of Zhuangyuan Red have been stocking up for a few months in advance, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are selling as long as they are of good quality or related to any of their predecessors, and even the pedestrians in the market are twice as many as before.

With the increase in the flow of people, some unsightly trades are also rising more and more than usual, and literati are always sentimental and emotional, otherwise there would not be so many legendary famous prostitutes left in history.

It's just that the Ye Zhu Pavilion is different from the ordinary Qinglou Chu Pavilion, there are mostly rich businessmen who are not afraid of ruining their reputation, even if there are frequent visitors like the children of the family, they are mostly sneaky and dare not show up, for fear of being known and hurting their face, and they are also afraid that the emperor will know that they will hinder their careers.

At this time, the sun is high, and the same business as Ye Zhuguan on this street has not been opened, just waiting for the sunset, which is the best time for drunken gold fans.

However, the sound of horses neighing was heard in the distance, and the group wore black clothes and face toveils in broad daylight, and everyone avoided everywhere they went, so they wanted to hide far away so as not to get into trouble.

This group of black-clothed people didn't say a word, kicked open the door of the Ye Zhu Pavilion, only to hear the chickens and dogs jumping inside, crying and shouting, and after a while, the thugs of the Ye Zhu Pavilion were thrown out of the gate, and they were all seriously injured and couldn't get up.

The owner of Ye Zhu Pavilion was frightened and wanted to use money to settle things, but he was also slapped by someone, this group of people in black was rummaging on every floor, alarming all the guests inside, and those who had no power could only swallow their anger, hugged their clothes and sneaked through the back door, and they had a little ability to play tricks, and almost none of them were not beaten. After a round, Ye Zhuguan was turned upside down.

"Big brother! Man found! ”

With a shout, all the black-clothed people gathered on the top floor of the Ye Zhu Pavilion, and a young man who was naked and cursing was taken out, but unfortunately before he could scold a sentence, he was punched in the stomach.

"Did you beat my brother for a little boy a while ago?" The man in black asked gloomily as he pressed the blade to the young man's cheek.

The young man was still stiff-mouthed, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Do you know who I am? I'm the prime minister's own grandson, and I've beaten a lot of people all day, who knows who? ”

"Good boy!" The man in black who took the lead waved his hand, and a group of people went up to remove their faces and beat them all over their bodies, and finally the young man kowtowed and admitted his mistake without letting these people stop, until he spat blood in his mouth, and the man in black gave up.

"Okay, it's time to get into trouble later, tie this kid to the pillar at the door, and let the people who come and go see what kind of thing this is, dare to beat my little brother, even if it is the prime minister, what can you do? Our Jianghu people have always been with the well water of the imperial court, but if he is really so unauthentic, it is not impossible to probe his dog life at night! The man in black who took the lead laughed wildly.

The owner of Ye Zhu Pavilion shook his legs, seeing that the sixth prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion was dragged out by these people, but he was beaten and couldn't even speak clearly.

Although the street where the Bamboo Leaf Pavilion is located does not have a good reputation, it is also close to the bustling street market, and many people often pass by in this neighborhood, Wei Liugongzi was tied to the door of the Leaf Bamboo Pavilion so nakedly, as long as it is a good thing, almost no passing by, many people even hid in the corner to watch this uncle who almost walked sideways on weekdays like a lost dog.

"Childe?"

The people around were coaxing, and there were two extremely ordinary-looking master servants standing in the crowd, the master had a hat, and the servant was carrying a simple burden, no different from the students who had recently entered Beijing to take the exam, not a poor or a rich family.

"Leave it alone, let's go ours." The master pressed down the hat and saw those black-clothed people writing the four big characters of Longyang on Wei Liugongzi's body, and then they rode the black horse and disappeared like a gust of wind.

The people who watched the excitement talked a lot, but before they could put away the smile on their faces, the people from the yamen finally arrived. The people were afraid of seeing officials, so soon the people who had gathered around to watch the jokes quickly dispersed, and the pair of masters and servants naturally followed the flow of people and did not know where to go.

"I'm going to the imperial examination, not to fight, so I don't have to prepare so many things." Having said that, Mo Liang couldn't help but smile when he looked at those made clothes.

Acacia was loading some necessary utensils in his bag, and turned his head to see him sitting on the couch carefully touching his new clothes, duplicitously counting himself.

She has never seen such a satisfied expression in her previous life, she has never seen the prime minister in her previous life, let alone the emperor, she is just a little daughter-in-law in the broken general's mansion, her husband has been named Sun Shan many times in the imperial examination, and the little brother-in-law was killed by her mother-in-law to abandon literature and engage in business, and even do shady business.

"You can't do laundry inside, so it's good for your health to change it more, so you don't have to get sick." Acacia walked over and put his hand on his shoulder, if he could also participate in the imperial examination in his previous life, then I am afraid it will be the same as in this life, he has to rely on lifting people after winning the show, he has always been a talented man.

Mo Li tilted his head, but the smile suddenly froze on his face. It's such an expression again, it's such a look, it's obvious that he's standing in front of her, it's obvious that she's in his heart, but it's ...... He always felt dissatisfied, always felt that she was looking at and thinking through him.

Stretching out his hand to hold Acacia in his arms, he won't be stupid and ask her who is in her heart, since she has promised him for life, then there is no chance to regret it, he doesn't want to know if the master has seen Acacia, whether it is the person who Acacia has been missing in his heart, he just needs to be doubly good to her, so that she can't leave him, reluctant to him.

As for the lovesick and the ...... He will definitely set the marriage before the lovesickness and the match, and there is no room for return.

"Girl! Two strangers came outside and said they wanted to see the girl, as if they were from Yanzhou. Pomegranate stood at the door with her head down, her eyes and nose and her heart, she was used to it from the beginning of shouting and screaming, anyway, her own girl has become the county lord, and she will no longer be as restrained as those women in the boudoir, she has to follow and look away.

"What do you say or what?" Mo Li spoke first.

"He said that he came to Beijing to catch the exam, and his surname is Yang." Pomegranate replied.

"Please come in and wait in the flower hall." Mo Liang raised his eyes, and Acacia's eyes really lit up.

The two took advantage of the pomegranate to go out, and quickly cleaned up, Mo Liang directly took Acacia's hand and went to the flower hall in the front yard, and at this time, the flower hall was indeed sitting with the master and servant.

"A day earlier than expected." Mo Liang said with a smile when he saw the two of them.

The master took off the hat, and said with an ordinary face full of displeasure: "It's a big deal for men and women, you are here with my sister again." ”

"Big brother!" Acacia broke free of Mo Li's hand, walked over happily and pulled the arm of the strange young man and shouted.

The young man touched his face and said softly, "You can recognize it." ”

"Your appearance has changed, but the tone of your voice has not changed, so why did you come alone? What about the second brother? Mo Liang took a closer look at the little guy behind the young man, and he didn't feel like it.

Meng Huoran sighed with his mask on his head, shook his head and said, "I persuaded him for a long time, but he just refused to end, but begged the Marquis of Zhenbei and said that he would go to the army in a few days." ”

"He really ...... like this" Xiangxiang remembered what Meng Duanfang said to her in the carriage that day, and felt a little worried.

"If he really wants to join the army, why don't he go to pay the general's account, and then he is afraid that he will go to the border with Ning Zhun." Mo Li frowned the most lovesickly, and hurriedly mentioned yì.

"Isn't Ning Zhun injured? How can you go to the border gates? Didn't he still make a ......," Meng Huoran said in surprise.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei has arrived in Kyoto, and it is impossible for the emperor to sit still if he gets something, the army is already divided into three parts of the world, if the emperor does not send people over, I am afraid that the last seat will not be saved. General Fu used to be my father's subordinate general, and he was deeply trusted by the emperor. He's not very old, and he's certainly the best person to do when he's going to show his ambitions. Mo Liang quietly pulled Acacia to the chair beside him and sat down, and continued: "Ning Zhun's fiancée is also the daughter of General Fu's subordinates, I heard that she has been living in the border pass before, and I am afraid that she will get married here." ”

"That treasure is ...... her," Meng Huoran's eyes were a little gloomy and said: "It's all fateful." ”

"Childe, come over on the road, and my subordinates saw that the sixth prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion was stripped naked and tied at the door of the Yezhu Pavilion, and the matter was probably going to be publicized." The man behind Meng Huoran clenched his fists and said.

"I know, this time to escort the eldest prince Meng into Beijing, you have done a great job, go back and receive the reward." Mo Liang nodded.

Meng Huoran turned his head and bowed to the little guy and said, "Thank you, little brother, for helping Yi Rong enter Beijing, otherwise this imperial examination will be difficult." ”

The little guy returned the salute silently, and walked out quickly with Mo Li.

"In this scientific examination, the emperor has already arranged it, as long as we pass the examiner's level, the court can help the emperor." Mo Liang patted Meng Huoran's shoulder and said.

Meng Huoran didn't feel too happy, he was tired and said a few words to Acacia, and followed Pomegranate to the room prepared for him in the morning.

"You say, does the eldest brother still remember that Miss Qiao?" Acacia stood behind Mo Liang and wondered.

"But it's Miss Joe's fiancé who has an accident today." Mo Liang turned sideways and took Acacia's little hand, bowed his head and said.

"The matter is revealed, will that Miss Qiao withdraw from the marriage? Is my eldest brother ......" To be honest, he was so lovesick that he really didn't approve of Meng Huoran going to eat back grass.

"Your eldest brother won't look back, and besides, that girl Qiao will never get out of the marriage." Mo Liang said firmly, and secretly stole an incense by the way.
