Today's Li Xiao is fragrant, Shi Song naturally will not give up easily, let alone have the intention of soliciting.

I have to say that the emperor's arrangement is really wonderful. The birthday banquet left a little poet fairy, promised an official title, and gave the errand of the scientific examination, anyone can see that the emperor is going to reuse Li Xiao, because of this, there is no one in the Manchu Dynasty who does not want to recruit, if Li Xiao does not have an official position, it is good to say, but now that he has entered the official career, the emperor does not like the officials to form a party for personal purposes, and the solicitation on the surface can no longer be considered, so the next days will be very lively.

At this time, the emperor sent Li Xiao to the eastern suburbs of the city to work as a farmer, which directly cut off the officials' intentions. Therefore, if you want to continue, it will only be tomorrow, and if you think about it later, you will not have a chance.

I believe that tomorrow, on the way from Wan'an Temple to Taicang Mountain in the eastern suburbs of the city, there will be many people waiting for Li Xiao. This new member of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion knows this, and it depends on whether he wants to avoid trouble or meet those officials.

Shi Shifan smiled and said, "Yes, father." ”

He had long thought that for a while, this little poet from Suzhou, what kind of person he was, who could lead to the assassination of Wencheng Street, and be related to Dongchang, the procuratorate and Beidi. In just one month, the originally quiet Jingshi for several years has been stirred. He admits that Li Xiao has a lot of poetic talent, and he is also a reader, and the poems written by the latter are really amazing, whether they are full of longing or heroic, they will be read twice in their spare time.

"Okay, you're tired for the past two days, go down and rest early." Shi Song looked at the Jingshi City in the vast night, and said lightly. He didn't know how many times he had seen this Jingshi City, but he always couldn't get tired of looking at it, especially sitting in the attic, although it was pitch black in front of him, but this was something he could control.

Shi Shifan got up slowly, bowed down to answer, and then leaned on the handle and went downstairs on crutches.

The night was quiet, except for the sound of short, heavy footsteps one after another. Instead of breaking the silence of the night, it merged with the night, the cicadas stopped chirping, and the frogs in the pool slowly closed their eyes. A gust of wind blew, Shi Song frowned slightly, reached out and took a white piece on the side, buckled heavily on the black seed, and shattered in an instant.

The chess game is chaotic!

……

At the beginning of the day, the east spit out a hazy white. The night passed quickly and slowly.

At the beginning of the third watch, Li Xiao went to sleep, and at the end of the day, he was woken up by the little girl Chuchu. This is what he had told the day before. At the same time, a carriage was parked early at the back door of Wan'an Temple, and it was Zhou Shuyi who was standing next to the carriage.

Listening to the little girl talk about the changes in the time of the day yesterday, Li Xiao understood that the way to the eastern suburbs of the city today would not be easy. As the first time he participated in the main examination, he was definitely a little hotter than the other four. Because the first few are either already under the door of several ministers in the court, or they have already been hooked up, and the rest of the officials can't intervene, so naturally they can't go through the back door.

On the other hand, the little poet fairy Li Xiao, who is a fledgling and has nothing to do with any official in the court, is much simpler to talk and do things, and his poetic talent can make the other four examiners turn a blind eye. The most important thing is that the emperor is very important, as long as you get acquainted with him, there will be no harm.

Li Xiao knew, so he arranged everything half a day in advance. The hour is neither too early nor too late. Officials who have been waiting for a long time have to wait a little longer, and those who want to see the situation first are missing the opportunity.

The back door of Wan'an Temple is Wencheng Street, since the Wencheng Street incident, this abandoned for more than ten years of the original Jingshi first street side opened again, but still no one dares to live in, but the government has cleared the road, can pass the carriage. But it's also because there is only the back door of Wan'an Temple here, so there are not many people coming and going, except for a few talented people who have little status and want to come and see the demeanor of Xiao Shixian.

At this time, it was still early, and the talents had to read the book first, so they didn't appear at the back door. It was convenient for Li Xiao.

Changing into the clothes brought from Suzhou, no matter how you wear them, they are still good made by Chu Xin'er, they are comfortable, and the style is also very good-looking. Then after a short breakfast, let the little girl put on a few changes of clothes, said goodbye to the masters of Wan'an Temple, and came to the back door.

He didn't go back to Taicang Mountain once a day, and he also inquired about the situation, and there was a house for him and the officials of Jingzhao Yin Mansion to live in. The eastern suburbs of the city are not close to Wan'an Temple, and the carriage is expensive.

At the back door, Zhou Senjun waited early, and today's Zhou Shuyi did not wear an official uniform, but a simple cloth coat, and the long knife at his waist was also placed in the car.

"Your Excellency." Zhou Shuyi arched his hand and said, his tone was a little sour.

Hearing this title from Zhou Shuyi's mouth really made Li Xiao dumbfounded for a while, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "We both have the same rank, we both join the army, and we are colleagues, and you are a little estranged by the title of 'adult', Brother Zhou." ”

With a sound, Brother Zhou instantly narrowed the distance. Zhou Senjun smiled and was relieved.

He knew that Li Xiao had only stayed in the army for a few days, and he believed that he would be promoted soon. It's just that he relied on his military exploits and silver to make a point, and the position of joining the army that he finally got was obtained casually by others, which was really sour. This is his misfortune and his luck.

"Childe, but do you want to leave now?" called 'Childe' again, responding to the sentence 'Brother Zhou'.

Li Xiao looked at the street archway in the distance, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, wait a minute." By the way, what about the brothers of Jingzhao Mansion? ”

"I'm basically waiting at the foot of Taicang Mountain." Zhou Shuyi glanced at the sky, lowered his head slightly and counted the hours, and then said, "A few people are going from Xicheng according to your orders. According to the hour, it was time to set off. ”

Speaking of this arrangement, he really couldn't understand why he deliberately sent a few people to take a carriage out of Xicheng, and then go to Taicang Mountain in Dongcheng after a big circle. A lot of money was given, but this arrangement was very strange. He turned his head and asked, "Shu Yi doesn't know, what does Gongzi's arrangement mean, from Xicheng to Taicang Mountain, it's not close." ”

Li Xiao smiled and did not answer Zhou Shuyi's question. This is a greasy thing in the officialdom, in fact, it is mainly the errand about the scientific examination arranged by the emperor for him not long after, and the candidates who have a relationship in the family will trust the relationship and let the officials who take the examination put some water, so that the next paste, transcription, and review links will be more friendly to themselves.

And the people who came to tell the examiners are generally ministers with some reputation in the court, and there are many officials and universities, and you are not a gang, and you are not helping, so you are really embarrassed. He is not like the other people, he has already "become famous", and like him is the best choice. The foundation is clear, there is no master, and he is young.

Today is the last chance for those officials to get in touch with themselves, and no one will give up this opportunity to build strength. In order to avoid these troubles, I deliberately wasted my mind and arranged these.

This is a scientific research fraud, if someone with a heart makes an article and takes the handle, it will not be a good thing for yourself in the future.

He asked Chu Chu beside him for the hour, and when he learned that it had passed the hour, he waited for half a quarter before he spoke, "Let's go." ”

As soon as the words fell, the carriage parked at the back door and the two carriages listening to Wencheng Street left together, leaving in turn at intervals of half a quarter.

The West City Gate, compared to the other four gates, is not far from Wan'an Temple, about five streets away. At this time, an inconspicuous gray-toned carriage slowly drove towards the West City Gate, and beside it were two tall horses, each with one person sitting on it, and these people were the officials of Jingzhao Yin Mansion. Arranged by Li Xiao, he paused for a short time in Wencheng Street, and then left quickly, the West City Gate is the farthest away from Taicang Mountain, and with carriages and horses, he can save some effort.

The street in front of the city gate was a busy city, and the carriages followed, and the horses could not pass quickly, but they were not in a hurry, but walked very slowly, as if they were waiting for someone.

If there is no obstruction through the downtown area, it is idle, and no stalls are allowed at the city gate, and the people who come and go are merchants who enter and exit the city gate to sell goods. In the past few days, the merchants of various countries have not left, and the envoys are still resting and having fun in the city. It's rare to come to the first city in the world, and you have to have a few more days of fun, anyway, most of the consumption is responsible for the palace.

As soon as I got out of the downtown area, my vision widened a little, and there were a few people standing in front of me blocking the road.

I saw those few people, and the leader took a step forward, arched his hand towards the carriage, and said respectfully: "Lord Li, my Royal Highness is invited, I hope to see you step by step." ”

The carriage came to a steady stop, and the two servants sitting on the horses looked at each other and did not speak. The man frowned, and said again, "I hope Lord Li will see you in a move." ”

Still no one responded, which really disgusted the man's heart. How could this little Jingzhao Yin Mansion join the army so rude, he revealed all this His Highness, and he even ignored it. His Royal Highness still values it so much, it's really not worth it.

"I hope Lord Li gets off the carriage and sees ......"

Before the words fell, the curtain slowly opened, and a person walked out.

Not Li Xiao?

The man who spoke glanced back at the young man in a tea stall not far away, at a loss. A knife-wielding man beside the young man also frowned, and asked the young man, "Your Highness, what should I do next?" ”

The second prince shook the teacup in his hand, smiled faintly, and said lightly: "This little poet is a little interesting." ”

At the same time, Dongcheng, Nancheng, and the carriage that left from Wencheng Street were also stopped.

Nancheng is the deputy pawn of the Xianwang Mansion, and it is also the Dou Bi that Li Xiao saw last time in Xiangmanlou, of course, there is not only him, but also a doctor of Taixue, and after that, there are more than a dozen scholars.

And in Dongcheng, it is the third prince, the king.

The three princes sat in the middle of the road, with a case, two futons, a pot of wine, and two jade cups.

It's just that what disappointed him was that the person who appeared was not the Jingzhao Yin Mansion Sicang who he wanted to see joined the army, Li Xiao.
