Chapter 455: The Last Day
The Song Dynasty's tribute is divided into many subjects, although it has undergone some reforms, but there are still a lot left, among the subjects, the most important is the "Jinshi Branch", and the most lively is the "Wuju Branch", although the imperial court has modified the martial arts to a much weaker text, but the candidates who come to recruit the martial arts are still full of angry temperament.
There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts! It is a true portrayal, the literati can make do with it, they can compromise, and the martial artists will do it if they are not satisfied!
In fact, the matter of using this kind of indiscriminate means to kill competitors is only related to the individual, just like the later generations, teachers are a sacred position, but when they encounter people with dark psychology, they will commit no fewer crimes than people who wander the streets.
Qin Taishi's Mansion, a mansion with beautiful gardens in the north and south, with pavilions and rockeries and lakes, is like a park in later generations, so the nobility of Qinfu can no longer be described by vulgar gold and silver.
Today was supposed to be the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, but Qin Hui's son, well, the illegitimate son adopted from his wife's brother, Qin Xi! casually took sick leave and went back to the house early to recuperate.
No, just let a few beautiful maids wait to take a fragrant bath, wrapped in an edelweiss blanket from the tribute from Fanrenguo, and walked comfortably on the big soft chair, the extremely eye-catching little maid quickly knelt on the ground, and kneaded the soles of his feet with her fingers forcefully and rhythmically.
Qin Xi snorted comfortably, casually said that he would go to bed at night, rewarded her with a fruit, and waved her away.
Seeing this, the servants and maids who were waiting around knew that the boy had something to say, so they withdrew one after another, turned and left, and in a moment the people in the house were gone, and the last man closed the door of the house.
"Ahem, Boya, what's going on outside?"
Qin Xi closed his eyes and muttered to himself like a dream.
"Hui Xigongzi, it's still very lively outside!"
Echoes in the darkness tell everyone that there are outsiders here.
"Well, it's good to be lively, a group of martial artists also want to follow my example as a scholar and participate in the imperial examination! It's really a pig with gold paper and pretending to be a mythical beast! ”
Laughing casually, Qin Xi turned over and asked again:
"By the way, can the Gongyuan be properly arranged!"
"It's already proper, that squire saw that it was your name post, and he was excited, and he repeatedly promised that the Gongyuan was fine!"
The hoarse voice in the darkness obviously meant to please the master, but Qin Xi didn't feel it at all, and still said in a lazy tone:
"Well, the chief and deputy examiner, my father said that it will be determined today, and when you know who it is, you will be lucky to take a trip, although the people below have already said hello, but, in order to be sure, it is better to take this step! Oh, by the way, how many talents have been included in this Kegong Ju for my Qinmen! ”
The people in the darkness didn't expect the young master to say such a long sentence, so he frowned, came out of the shadows, full of white hair, but his posture was still upright, and he arched his hand:
"Hui Gongzi, there are eighty-three people in total, and all of these people have written a letter of resignation!"
Qin Xi glanced at him silently and continued:
"Well, it is still beyond my expectations to have these people, you tell them that as long as they enter my Qin Gate, they will definitely get what they want."
"But young master, if all these eighty-three people are on the list, the old slave is afraid that those candidates will ......"
Qin Xi directly interrupted him and said:
"There's nothing to be afraid of, this court is my father's court, even the old emperor sitting on the dragon chair has to look at my father's eyes, so it's okay, if they dare to make trouble, they will be arrested and put in prison to taste the bitter pain! If they dare to jump again, they will not be able to pay tribute for the rest of their lives! ”
The man in black named Boya had no choice but to nod and say, "The old slave originally selected more than a dozen of them, since this is the case, tomorrow the old slave will distribute all the test questions and words to them!" ”
"Well, go ahead! Now I, the people in the Qin Sect, can completely account for the six! ”
Speaking of this, Qin Xi paused and said, "Fly legs are also meat, remember to hand over the silver to the account office!" Those who still owe the debt and have not repaid it, they have to hurry up! ”
"Yes, the old slave will collect it!" The man in black licked his tongue lightly, and the arched man flashed into the darkness, and a moment later, there was a soft creak from the window.
"This guy doesn't go through the door, and he always likes to go through the window!" Complaining casually, Qin Xi on the soft chair yawned, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He is asleep, and the dizzy dog who reads a book can't sleep at all, not only can he not sleep, but most of the candidates who are going to take the tribute exam early in the morning after tomorrow can't sleep with peace of mind, anxiety, upset, and nervousness are the main reasons that plague them.
At present, there are only two kinds of people who can sleep soundly, one is sure that they will definitely pass the exam, and the other is the person who has completely given up hope.
is like a person named Zhu Xi from Kaoting, Fujian, he said that he has no pressure on whether he can make the list, after all, his goal is to be on the top list.
There is also a person named Wang Zuo who also aims to be on the top list, after all, he is from Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture, where Zhongjin Shi is commonplace, and his literary talent has been proven in hundreds of competitions held privately by candidates large and small this year, so in the mouth of the public, his voice as the champion is the highest, as for the guy with seven Beidou black moles in the corner of his right eye, he is not an opponent at all.
Jinshike is so competitive, but the dog is deeply glad that he passed the lock hall test.
Compared with the foundation of tens of thousands of candidates, a royal list can only admit more than 200 people.
"So this world can't be really just", the dog clenched his fists tightly, but in order to be able to marry his "three ladies" in a beautiful way, he would never give up even if he was tired to death.
A rooster crowed, the dog who had only slept for two hours, opened his eyes again, tomorrow is March 3, whether you can win glory and wealth, and the goal of marrying a beautiful lady depends on this day, so today, it is particularly important.
Just as the dog was finished washing and was about to pick up the scripture again to read, there was a rumbling sound in his stomach.
"Alright! Let's fill our stomachs! ”
It was three days in the examination room, and it was three days of high concentration, so the dog felt that he must eat something delicious today, so he called a few big men, locked the door, and went to the street with his hands.
Maybe everyone thought of going together with the dog, but on the street today, there were suddenly many more candidates in green shirts, one by one, in their favorite way, to commemorate the silence of the last day.
If you like to drink, you need one or two meat dishes, a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat, and drink quietly alone.
If you like to drink tea, order a cup of mellow tea, two or three plates of pastries, or listen to music, or read a book, or gossip.
As for the beauty, there is no charge for today's Qinglou, as long as you prove that you are a candidate to participate in tomorrow's tribute, and then leave a pair of Mobao, wine, food and intimate girls will serve you comfortably.
So today, the candidates who have been tense their brains can finally choose to indulge for a day, so "carnival" is the theme of today's Lin'an capital, after all, tomorrow is the day when life and death see the truth.
However, some people are facing the test of life and death today.
For example, a few candidates who were supported by Da Lang had a gray face, which was really happy.
"Zhao Dagou, don't think that you helped me out of the siege, the master will be grateful to you!"
The dog glanced at the person who spoke, burped in his mouth, and waved his hand casually: "It doesn't matter, we can't play together anyway, so what!" Lu Yanei, your uncle is afraid that you will run out of money and have no money to go home, so he asked me to bring you the silver, I have already handed it over to you, although it was taken away by those strong men in black immediately, but it has nothing to do with me, so a few, fortunately, write a note, and when I go back, I will have an explanation with Lu Zhizhou! ”
Lu Duan touched the bruises on the corner of his mouth, and then glanced at the dog who was still burping, and then rolled his eyes and said, "What money, my uncle asked you to give me money?" Great, I'm about to use the money, give it to me! ”
Dogs: ......
Bang Bang Bang!
The crisp applause was heard far away in this secluded alley.
"I really didn't expect that in the rampant Lu Daya in Longzhou, there was actually a day of playing tricks, hahaha, I don't know if your uncle will feel embarrassed if he knows?"
Shame or not? Of course, it's a shame, but if you don't get money now, you have to beg all the way back to Longzhou, and it will be a real shame at that time, so Lu Duan had no choice but to continue: "I want you to take care of it, anyway, you just give me money anyway!" ”
Seeing that he still looked like he was asking for money, the dog frowned, and said, "I said Lu Duan, did you borrow a loan shark or go to the gambling house to lose the money?" ”
Facing the dog's concern, Lu Duan said impatiently:
"It's all said, don't worry about it! Get the money! ”
"And! If it weren't for Lu Zhizhou, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you" The dog rolled his eyes, took out a silver ingot of three taels from his arms, threw it to him, and said: "Save some flowers, at least you can get to the situation of Lizhou Road!" ”
Lu Duan casually took the silver thrown by the dog, took a closer look at the broken silver full of tooth marks, and sighed silently in his heart, if it was in the past, such a disgusting silver, he would not have used it, but now......
Lu Duan picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth and bit it gently, then said, "This is not enough!" ”
"I said Lu Dayane, just accept it when you see it, I'm not your family's account room!"
Dropping this sentence, the dog stood up and shouted to the huge Lang who was idle at the mouth of the alley to prepare to leave, but he didn't think about it, but Lu Duan directly grabbed the dog's sleeve and said in a panic:
"Don't go Zhao Dagou, you must give me the money today!"
said this, and he didn't owe him money, so how could he rely on it.
"Lu Duan, this is Lin'an, not Longzhou, if you are so careful, I will call the yacha!"
"No, no, no! Don't shout for the Servants! Lu Duan shook his hand nervously.
Seeing this, the dog snorted and said, "Since that's the case, then you let go of your hand!" ”
"I won't let go!"
Lu Duan, who was originally only holding the sleeve of the dog's coat with one hand, heard this, and hurriedly grabbed it with both hands and said, "Zhao Dagou, no matter what today, you have to give me the silver, even if you borrow it?" ”
"How much are you going to borrow?"
"Five hundred, no, no, three hundred!"
"Three hundred?" The dog coldly shook off his hand and said, "Do you think I am a money bank?" What a beautiful thing you really want, let go quickly! ”
When Lu Duan saw that the dog was angry, he was really anxious, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Dog, I beg you, as long as you help me this time, in the future, in Longzhou, whatever you say will be anything!"
