Click, click, click.

Click, click, click.

Zeng Gong was answering the question with a pen, and suddenly heard a very light and brittle sound from the house next door.

He wrote a meal.

The voice stopped.

Zeng Gong continued to answer the question.

Click, click, click.

“……”

Zeng Gong really wanted to report the candidate in the next room.

Fortunately, there is also a question to be answered over there, and the clicking movement only lasted for a while and then disappeared.

As a result, in the evening, everyone began to light a fire to cook rice, and the enticing aroma wafted from the next house.

Zeng Gong looked at the porridge in his pot, hungry and without appetite.

Contradiction, it is very contradictory.

The idea of reporting is rising again.

Unfortunately, the tragedy in the Meizhou examination room was staged again, this time to the scourge of candidates from all over the country!

As the chief examiner, Ouyang Xiu walked around the examination room and was also very hungry.

For those fragrant houses, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Thanks to the tiring work of running around for most of the past half a year and often reading at night, Su Shi's three fathers and sons have lost weight again, and they look quite like the bones of a scholar, otherwise Ouyang Xiu would treat them as wine bags and rice bags to mix experience!

What kind of person, you are so particular about taking the exam!

A courtyard wall isolates candidates from the outside world.

Su Lu was still worried on the first day, and he should eat and drink from the second day, and even relied on no one to wake him up and sleep until three o'clock in the morning.

On the third day, Zhao Zhongjun came, and he came alone.

Zhao Zhongjun is still young, his identity is special, he has no friends, today he was depressed, so he came to talk to Su Lu, last time Su Lu said that they were like brothers.

"My mother wants me to stay in Kaifeng to study, I don't want to stay here." Zhao Zhongjun and Su Lu confided their hearts.

He didn't like it here, and his father didn't like it either, but his mother was very close to Empress Cao, and she took him to Kaifeng when she received a letter from Empress Cao a few years ago.

Last year, Pang Ji, Sima Guang and others in the court wrote to discuss the establishment of the prince, Empress Cao was afraid of choosing other clansmen, so she asked her mother to bring him, his father was already in his twenties, and he was not suitable to enter the palace frequently, so he was needed as a bridge between the two sides.

These are the secret things related to Jianchu, Zhao Zhongjun didn't want to talk about it to Su Lu, and only said that he didn't want to study in Kaifeng.

The court of the Great Song Dynasty did not prohibit the clan and relatives from engaging in politics, on the contrary, it encouraged the children of the clan to join the government. If you don't come out to work, then you can only get a little money from the family, and when you have a few more sons, I am afraid that the little money you have on hand will not be enough to spend!

Therefore, Zhao Zhongjun also wants to study.

Su Lu listened to Zhao Zhongjiao's troubles, and felt a little empathy.

You can play Lai Pi when you study at home, but it's not so easy to come out to study, so many eyes are staring, if you behave badly, do you still have the face to go home?

It's really pitiful that this kid is so young that he has to leave his hometown to study under the noses of the emperor and empress.

"Yun Niang will make a mountain and sea pocket at noon today, will you eat it?" Su Lu asked.

Zhao Zhongqi said: "I know the pocket, southerners love to eat, what is the mountain and sea pocket?" ”

Douzi is a common pasta, the thin dough is wrapped in a variety of vegetables and fish, and the dough must be thin so that it can have a crystal clear effect.

Su Lu explained to Zhao Zhongjiao: "The mountain and sea pockets are naturally seasonal vegetables and fish and shrimp river fresh pockets, and now most of the river fish have a belly full of fish eggs, I asked Yun Niang to take them out separately to make a base, the taste is very special, you will know it after a while." Of course, we have to keep a low profile, after all, it's a temple, and we can't let others know that we killed hundreds of people in one bite. ”

Yun Niang can now smuggle some meat into the kitchen, anyway, as long as she doesn't kill in the temple, the monks can turn a blind eye.

When Zhao Zhongjun heard Su Lu say this, he suddenly felt a sense of pleasure secretly doing bad things with his friends.

The child liked this exciting feeling the most, and he immediately forgot about the depression when he came, and happily waited for the meal with Su Lu.

Idle is also idle, Su Lu took out the chess pieces and announced that he was going to fight with Zhao Zhongyan for 300 rounds.

The two of them quickly played backgammon on the stone table, and you came and went.

It was the first time for Zhao Zhongjun to play chess like this, but he felt much more relaxed than his usual play, and he was very moved in his heart: in order to comfort him, Brother Su Xian actually came up with this kind of relaxed and happy play!

When it came to the table in the mountains and seas, Zhao Zhongjun was not sad at all. He said to Su Yan: "Brother Su Xian, it's good to meet you!" ”

Su Lu didn't know why Zhao Zhongyun's face was full of emotion.

It's weird.

What kind of people are they?

Let's just think he's a foodie like his cousin.

Su Lu didn't think about it, and solved a plate of mountains and seas with Zhao Zhongjiao.

Zhao Zhongjun has been out for a long time, and seeing that the time is not early, he got up and said goodbye very embarrassedly, and said suddenly: "This time I came here for a temporary purpose, and I didn't bring anything good, I will definitely ...... next time."

Su Lu waved his hand and said, "What's this, my brother and they went to the exam, it's good for you to come and eat with me." ”

Zhao Zhongjun touched his round belly and led the guards back.

Zhao Zhongjun's mother Gao was raised by Empress Cao, and she has known Zhao Zongshi since childhood, and her personality has always been very strong, and Zhao Zhongjun's father and son listen to her very much.

Today, Zhao Zhongjun ran out without saying a word, and Gao was very angry, but he was still afraid that Zhao Zhongjun would have an accident, so he hurriedly sent someone to follow.

Children are all meat that fell from their own bodies, and the last time her daughter fell into the water was enough to worry her, and now her son has a rebellious heart, how can she not be annoyed?

I heard that Zhao Zhongjun was back, and Gao sat in the room and waited. It didn't take long for him to see his son come in from outside the door, and he stepped forward to call his mother in a proper manner.

Gao asked with a straight face: "Where did you go?" ”

Zhao Zhongjun replied honestly: "I went to Daxiangguo Temple to find a friend of mine, and he was the one who saved my sister last time." ”

Gao's complexion softened slightly.

Zhao Zhongjun has been gone for so long, someone has already returned to his place, and even what they talked about has been quietly recounted.

Last time, her daughter was rescued from an accident, and she sent someone to check all the people involved, and naturally she also checked Su Lu.

Su Lu's father and brother are both Jinshi, and his uncle and cousin also came to Kaifeng this time to participate in the Spring Festival, which shows that they were born in a scholarly family. Such a background is not very prominent, but it can also be called a noble family, appearing there should be an accident, and saving people is also a simple kindness.

Her son has no objection to her interacting with Su Chen.

There are no big officials in the Su family at present, and the son will not cause criticism even if he is good friends with the other party, not to mention that children make friends with each other, what is worth criticizing?

Gao said: "I also know that you are still young, and my mother should not force you to do what you don't want to do," she gently touched the top of Zhao Zhong's hair, sighed and said, "But Gong'er, do you know the truth of 'sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat'?" ”

Zhao Zhongjun listened to his mother's sigh, although he was ignorant, he also understood that there were some things that he had to do.

Father is not in good health, easy to lose energy, not very careless, almost all the family is in charge of the mother, thinking of his family's situation in the Puwang Mansion, thinking about the next few younger brothers and sisters, Zhao Zhongjun only felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavy.

Fortunately, now he has a friend like Su Lu.

Su Lu won't ask anything more, but will only eat and play with him, using this way to enlighten him and make him happy. He was very relaxed when he got along with Su Lu, and it was easier than ever.

He will study hard and do what his mother wants him to do, but he wants to have a friend of his own, without using and calculating, let alone whether the other party can do anything for him and whether he can bring benefits to himself.

Zhao Zhongjun asked tentatively, "Can I often go to play with Brother Su Xian?" ”

Gao Shi heard Zhao Zhongjun call Su Xian "Brother Su Xian", and his brows furrowed slightly. But for her son's small request, she would not object. She smiled and said, "At your age, you should make more friends." ”

Zhao Zhongjun suddenly became happy.

He asked forgetfully: "If the Ming'er Palace sends Guiyu, can I take two to the Great Xiangguo Temple?" ”

Gao said: "It's not good to take fish to Daxiangguo Temple to eat, right?" ”

Zhao Zhongjun now learned and sold his land to tell the Gao family about the Su family's crooked reasoning: "If I let people kill them at home and then take them away, it will not be counted as killing in the Great Xiangguo Temple." ”

Gao was silent for a while.

Well, let them be pleased.
