On the day of the release of the list, Dong'er struggled to squeeze into the crowd, just to see if there was any ranking of his own young master, he saw Lin Xin's name in the first column, and he was relieved immediately. Looking at the four people in front of him, it was said that they were famous talents at that time, only Lin Xin seemed a little unknown.

Originally, he came to the capital to get the name of a talented man, but he inexplicably participated in several cases, so he didn't have time to make friends with those celebrities in the capital.

"Eh, who is this Lin Xin, how could he appear in front of Brother Zilong?"

"Xu is a poor scholar from that unknown place, so this time he played ahead of time."

Dong'er glared at the man fiercely when he heard this, they are the broken scholars from a poor place, they don't even have a little guy, they have to look at the list by themselves, and they have the face to judge others, that is, they see that the young master's reputation is not obvious, so they dare to say this, how can they not dare to say that the four famous scholars in front of them?

"Brother Tai's words are wrong, this Lin Xin seems to be a member of the Lin family in Jiangnan, so he naturally has some ability."

"It's just a good background."

"Yes, if I am from the Lin family in Jiangnan, if I don't have a champion, I will have no face."

Dong'er opened her mouth, looked at the people who were talking, and wondered how to teach them a lesson without moving, and suddenly realized that why did she have the same knowledge as them, but they were just some people who couldn't eat grapes, and shallow knowledge was also a common thing, no matter how much they said, it could only prove that they were nothing more than that.

Lin Xin stood in the distance and gathered his clothes, although it was almost March, the spring breeze was still very steep. looked at Dong'er's puffing out, and understood what was going on.

Originally, Lin Xin didn't plan to come over to see the list, with his strength, the top ten on the list was also the reason why he didn't play well, not to mention that he didn't want to take the first place in a row, which was too eye-catching.

"Fifth on the list, young master, are you playing abnormally?"

Dong'er felt that with the level of his own young master, he should be the first to take the test.

Lin Xin felt that this ranking was higher than he expected, and it seemed that it was because the level of this year's test was not very good, so he nodded and said that he knew.

"Let's go, let's go to Aoi's restaurant."

Originally, Aoi was going to cook fish dishes in the capital, but although the idea was good, Aoi ate mostly sea fish, which was different from the fish in the capital, and she pondered for a long time, so she could only change to other dishes, but it became a feature of the capital.

There weren't many people in the store today, Aoi saw Lin Xin and asked with concern, "You didn't go to see the list?" ”

"I've seen it."

"Didn't hit?"

Aoi looked at Dong'er's dissatisfied look and guessed. As for Lin Xin, he was still the same, but he didn't see the loss.

"It's not a big deal if you don't win, I'll make you miso soup and eight-treasure rice, just eat a good meal, and it's the same for next year's exam, hey, it's all my fault for delaying your exam."

Dong'er opened her mouth, she wanted to explain a few sentences, but she didn't speak, well, she wanted to eat Babao rice.

Lin Xin didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, so the two occupied a table and waited for Aoi to serve the food.

As soon as the two of them were halfway through eating, they saw a servant coming, and it seemed that he had come to find Lin Xin. The man gasped, pointed at Lin Xin and said, "You...... Why are you still eating, I'...... I've been looking for you for a long time...... I searched all the restaurants, but I didn't ...... Thought you were here. ”

After saying this, the official began to gasp for breath again, and watching Lin Xin eat slowly, he also sat down and called for one.

"I said you, the fifth on the list, how many people want to invite you to dinner, why did you come here to eat?"

This official was obviously a little dissatisfied, they could have eaten better, but in this newly opened small shop, there was obviously no restaurant style.

Aoi heard the fifth and four words on the list, thought carefully for a while, turned around and went to the kitchen, brought another eight-treasure rice and miso soup, and then walked out, and said very seriously: "Double the price of rice." ”

The hand of the official holding the chopsticks trembled, and he didn't know why he felt two unusually resentful eyes.

"I'm here to tell you today, there will be a palace exam in three days, and Lord Fu Yin asked me to tell you, don't miss the time."

When it was time for the palace examination, more than a dozen students made a decision in front of the Son of Heaven in turn, this was the first time Lin Xin saw the emperor, took the opportunity to look up, and then stood silently in place, thinking about how he could enter the top three with his inextricable relationship with the emperor, but looking at his age before the weak crown, it seemed to stand out from the crowd.

"Where is Lin Xin?"

Suddenly hearing his name, Lin Xin felt that something was wrong, and always felt that something bad might happen.

"The grass people are here."

Now the ranking has not been determined, and there is no official, perhaps it is more able to please the emperor by claiming to be a student, but Lin Xin deliberately used the self-title of grass people.

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I look at your literary brilliance, and you deserve to be the best talent......

Before the emperor's words were finished, Lin Xin noticed everyone's eyes, and only felt that if these eyes could be turned into substance, he was afraid that there would be many holes behind him.

Immediately understood what the emperor meant, and could only kneel down in fear at the moment, taking advantage of the emperor's speech to breathe, forcibly interrupted his words: "Your Majesty, you are shallow in your studies, how can you match the top talent." ”

"What a big boldness, I haven't finished my words yet, you just interrupted, why do you want to be this champion so much?"

Qi Yuan's face remained unchanged, and everyone didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy, Gu Yu, who was guarding outside, couldn't help frowning when he heard this, usually Lin Xin is very smart, why did he speak so recklessly today, and dared to interrupt the emperor's words.

Gonggong Hong next to him smiled and said: "Don't be angry, this Lin Xin is a little younger, so he speaks recklessly, but it shows his true temperament." ”

With the relief of Gonggong Hong, the atmosphere in the hall was eased.

Originally, because Lin Xin had just spoken, the eyes behind him were not so eager, but because of Gonggong Hong's explanation, it became a little sharper.

Lin Xin also understood the emperor's intentions, so he could only remain silent, waiting for the emperor to finish speaking, and by the way, he was helping himself pull a wave of hatred.

"But you're too young. It's really not appropriate to be a champion. ”

Qi Yuan pretended to groan, and looked at Lin Xin, seeing that there was not the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Then let's be a messenger." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar in the hall, and at this time, the top three had not yet been decided, no matter who was decided, the name could not overpower Lin Xin.

Lin Xin opened a pair of dead fish eyes, he only felt that there was nothing to love in life, he didn't want to be famous at all, he just wanted to be a petty official and live a leisurely life, and now at this moment, he let himself become the limelight, what can I do in the future?

"Lord Lin, congratulations. Although you are ranked fourth, you are better than the top three, which is really enviable. ”
