Chapter 40: Choosing a Horse (Part II)

Chu Zhi's face turned red, but Liu Jinsong didn't speak, only shook his head at Chu Zhi, Chu Zhi collected his anger, and got on the boat with Liu Jinsong under the guidance of the waiter.

The five boats were ready to go, Liu Jinsong looked up and saw that a window on the second floor had been opened, knowing that Yulin must be watching behind the window, not only Liu Jinsong, everyone thought so, and when they thought of rowing under the gaze of the princess, some people couldn't help but be a little excited.

The waiter kept looking in the direction of the pavilion, and when he saw the maid standing at the door, he said, "Everyone, please get ready, start!" Immediately the five boats rushed out like arrows off the string. It's just that after rowing for a while, everyone's physical strength began to show, the boat was fast and slow, Zhu Wei'an had a winning mentality in his heart, and the companions he chose at the beginning had some strength in his hands, and their boats were always at the front.

The rest of the people, the boat is a little backward, although Chu Zhi also wants to win, but after all, he is a little pampered, he doesn't have much strength, seeing that the sweat on Liu Jinsong's forehead is coming out, he can't help but say a little angrily: "Brother Liu, it's all my fault, otherwise you won't row slowly." ”

"It didn't say that whoever rows first is the colt!" Liu Jinsong comforted Chu Zhi, seeing that Zhu Wei'an in front was about to arrive at the lotus garden, he had more strength in his hands, but Chu Zhi didn't have much strength, and after all, he arrived half a hull later than Zhu Wei'an.

Zhu Wei'an was already resting there, and when he saw Liu Jinsong coming, he couldn't help but show a mocking smile on his face: "Why, no one will stop you this time." Liu Jinsong ignored him, just got off the boat with Chu Zhi and sat there to rest.

The remaining three boats arrived one after another, and the two people on the boat had bad faces, if it weren't for the waiter, the two of them would have quarreled on the spot. Seeing that the ten men had arrived, the chamberlain invited them to board a larger boat and sent them back to shore.

The young men went to the place where they were waiting to continue to rest, and the waiter had already gone to the top to return to Yulin, originally thinking that the waiter would come back soon, but after waiting for a while before the waiter came back, some people began to get a little upset, and the two people who arrived at the boat began to mumble there, disagreeing with each other. But because there was an attendant next to him, the voice was not very loud.

The rest of the people were a little bustling, and occasionally persuaded him, Liu Jinsong was still sitting there, as if the hustle and bustle around him was not in his ears, Chu Zhi had already lowered his voice and said to Liu Jinsong: "Brother Liu, when this matter is over, you have to go to my house to play." ”

"If you become a colt, how can I go to play with you?" Liu Jinsong said with a smile, and Chu Zhi shook his head: "Brother Liu, I can't be it." Saying that, Chu Zhi lowered his voice and said to Liu Jinsong: "I secretly looked at the princess's expression, she was very indifferent, so she must not be able to be it." ”

"How could the heavenly family let the princess respect a woman as her mother-in-law, you two, I'm afraid that the officials accepted bribes and were elected, and if you want to have a face, you should resign yourself." After waiting for a long time, some people have lost some patience, and when they saw Chu Liu and the two talking together, they couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.

The voice was not big or small, just enough for Chu Zhi to hear, Chu Zhi's face turned red, and he turned to look at the person who spoke, the person had a straight back, and looked at Chu Zhi with a provocation in his eyes, Liu Jinsong was about to speak, and suddenly noticed a cold eye looking at him, and endured it again, and said to Chu Zhi: "It's a human being, there will always be something, as long as you stand straight, why do you need to take these words to heart?" ”

Chu Zhi nodded and said, "Brother Liu, you are right. Seeing that Chu Zhi refused to deal with it, the man who spoke snorted coldly in his nose: "What's the matter, if you are right, you have to pretend to be a turtle with a shrunken head?" Or not a man? ”

"Dare to ask Zunjia, how is Han Xin?" Liu Jinsong's hand pressed Chu Zhi's shoulder tightly, and he looked at the man and said in a deep voice. Han Xin was willing to suffer the humiliation of □. Everyone knows this allusion, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood that Liu Jinsong was sarcastic that he was just a first-class hooligan on the street, and his face couldn't help but be angry, and he squinted at Liu Jinsong and said: "Han Xin, it's just a villain." Although there are generals, they are not bright enough. Why, do you want to learn from him? ”

I couldn't help it, Chu Zhi wanted to get up again, Liu Jinsong pressed him down again, and just looked at the man: "Although I don't have Han Xin's talent, I am better than some people who are not even as good as villains." ”

You? The face of the person who spoke was even more angry, and Zhu Wei'an had already coughed lightly: "What is this place?" Are you so presumptuous? Young Master Liu, you better be patient. Liu Jinsong looked at Zhu Wei'an, hooked his lips and smiled: "Thank you Zhu Gongzi for reminding me." ”

Although the goal has been achieved, Zhu Wei's head is uneasy, and he is about to open his mouth to say more, when an attendant comes in, opens his mouth to read his name, and when he finishes reading, he says: "This time, please come with the slave and maid who are read the name." ”

This is different from Fang Cai, he couldn't help but be disappointed when he didn't get his name, Chu Zhi was not read this time, he looked at Liu Jinsong: "Brother Liu, work hard!" Liu Jinsong nodded, patted him on the shoulder and left after the chamberlain.

In addition to Chu Zhi, there were also the two who were yin and yang weird and Zuihou who arrived when rowing, and the yin and yang weird ones who had already known the result were not much disappointed, but they just squinted at Chu Zhi: "What, are you still reluctant to go?" The son of a woman also has a good face. ”

This time, without Liu Jinsong's persuasion, Chu Zhi's hand was already clenched into a fist, and just when he was about to hit the face of the person who spoke, an attendant came over: "Please go with the slave to meet Bixia." "The one who was brushed down had a chance to meet the Son of Heaven, which was known before, who knew that he would go at this time, Chu Zhi and the other three were busy tidying up their clothes and following him out.

Walking out of the house, Chu Zhi couldn't help but look at the second floor, and he didn't know what he was going to take the school exam this time? The elder brother of the Liu family must have crossed everyone and become the concubine of Princess Yongle.

There were four and six others, and these six people were all sitting in front of Yulin, and all six of them were watching their ears and noses, waiting for Yulin to speak.

Through a gauze curtain, Yu Lin looked at these six people, and her hand swiped over their names one by one, although there are already candidates, but they have to pass another level, otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public. Thinking about Yulin, he said: "The ranks are all well-educated people, this time, how about taking the ranking poems?" ”

The six people stood up and said in unison, "Obey the princess's orders." Yulin motioned for them to sit down and said, "At this time, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the beauties are picking lotuses, which is a vulgar topic, and I can't avoid vulgarity, so you can write a poem in the time of a stick of incense." ”

A maid walked out of the curtain and put down pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in front of everyone. The six of them took it and thought about it for a long time.

Liu Jinsong grabbed the pen in his hand, and wanted to wave it, but when he looked up, he could see Yulin behind the gauze curtain, which made his thoughts a little chaotic, and he couldn't write it.

Thinking about it like this, I know what to write, Liu Jinsong picked up the pen and wrote this sentence on it, and then continued, and when it was finished, a pillar of incense was just burned out, and the maid walked up to Liu Jinsong, collected the poem, and presented it to Yulin.

Yulin looked down, saw the first sentence, was slightly stunned, and then read it, and when she saw the poem, she couldn't help laughing, and took a few poems and handed them to the maid: "These poems are inseparable, please also present them to Bixia, let Bixia read them." ”

The maid should have received the poem and asked the chamberlain to present it to the emperor. This action made the hearts of these six people skip a beat, if you can present the poem to Bixia, even if you don't win the horse, it's a rare thing.

Yulin didn't speak after that, she didn't speak, and the six of them couldn't move, the wind blew from the window, and the curtains were moving softly, but no matter how they moved, the curtains were not blown open. Liu Jinsong couldn't help but think of that day, in the water pavilion of the British Mansion, the wind rolled up the bead curtain with the curtain, and the look was amazing, just one glance, and he was willing to lose his life.

The chamberlain had already returned, kneeling in front of the curtain: "Bixia said that these three poems are good, and the princess chooses them." This voice interrupted Liu Jinsong's thoughts, and he had already heard Yulin's laughter: "Sure enough, even my uncle is difficult to decide." ”

After saying this, the curtain was silent for a long time, which also made people a little anxious, which three people were they? The curtain was lifted, and a maid walked out, came to Zhu Wei'an and said, "Princess, please go out." This sound made Zhu Wei'an like being struck by lightning, and he was not among the three people, is this impossible? Zhu Wei'an subconsciously wanted to refute, but he still held back, got up and bowed to the gauze curtain and left.

The maid had already gone up to the other two men and said the same thing, and although they were also frustrated, they could boast of being one of the six, and bowed and left.

There are only three left, and Liu Jinsong looked at the other two, from one-fifteenth to one-third, this feeling is really good.

"Guys, what are you good at?" Yulin behind the gauze curtain spoke again, and someone had already stood up: "Princess, the minister is good at painting." ”

"I didn't expect the Chu family to also have Danqing skills, not bad." Before Yulin's words fell, another person had already said: "Princess, Chenqin, chess, calligraphy and painting are a little proficient, there is nothing to do in the summer night, and she often plays the piano under the tree." ”

"There are people in the family who have heard it early and are good at the piano, who knows that it is you, not bad." After Yulin finished speaking, she asked Liu Jinsong, who had not spoken: "Young Master Liu, what are you good at?" ”

"Minister," Liu Jinsong felt a little bitter in his mouth, but he still said: "The minister has lived in the frontier for a long time, and he is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”

Yulin sighed, and the other two people already showed a little joy on their faces, if they are not good at any of them, they will be eliminated, and then Yulin's second sentence came: "I have lived in the frontier for a long time, but my mother has also learned it when she was in the boudoir." "The author has something to say: three more, do what you say, lalala.
