CHAPTER XXXII
Shen Nian's eyes widened when he heard Chu Yan introduce himself.
"The Tao is self-admiring, and there is Chu Yin." Shen Nian blurted out a sentence.
Chu Yan glanced at Shen Nian and nodded, "I didn't expect that the official women in the capital would also know." β
Shen Nian's eyes were shining, and he said that he had always felt that Mu Bai Mubai's name was very familiar, and it turned out to be the two of them.
"Mu Bai? Is that Mu Bai just now?" Lin Fuliu asked.
"Exactly." Chu Yan said.
"Nian'er, what did you mean by that sentence just now?" Lin Fuliu asked.
Shen Nian smiled slightly and explained, "In recent years, there have been many talents in the martial arts, including the ruthlessness of the master of Wuxin Building, the leader of the Dark Night Pavilion chasing the charm, and the unparalleled son who seems to be good and evil in the rivers and lakes, and the blue-clothed Mu Bai and the white-clothed Chu Yan. β
"It seems that this young lady is not an ordinary official woman." Chu Yan looked at Shen Nian seriously and said.
Then his eyes were slightly round, no. Oh, interesting.
"But since you are from the rivers and lakes, why do you want to take the literary exam?" Lin Junwu asked strangely.
The corners of Chu Yan's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he almost choked.
He also said so before, who knew that Mu Bai directly came to say that a manly husband should serve the country. Where is this line of a person who wanders the rivers and lakes?
"Male...... A manly man should serve his country. Chu Yan said speechlessly what Mu Bai said to himself at the beginning.
The people around him looked incredulous, what was this thing talking about, this was his line.
"Then does Brother Chu want to participate in the martial arts test?" Shen Nian asked.
Chu Yan shook his head, he didn't want it, he didn't want to be an official.
"Oh? A man shouldn't serve the country, so Brother Chu doesn't want to serve the country. Shen Nian asked with a smile.
Chu Yan was stunned for a moment and fell into the pit he had dug.
Chu Yan coughed twice, and the four of them laughed.
After a while, five people have become friends, and sometimes, becoming friends is as simple as that, you know me, I understand you. It doesn't take a few years of accumulation, it's just a fate.
......
Exam
Shen Feng and the others entered the examination room and saluted next to the chief examiner, because these examiners were all idols in their hearts, especially Li Lao, who simply existed like gods.
Shen Feng passed by Li Lao and bowed, and Li Lao glanced at him and nodded slightly.
Shen Feng returned to his seat.
Looking up and looking around, he saw Mu Bai sitting not far from him, and the two of them nodded.
After a while, the exam room was full of candidates. Each candidate sat nervously or indifferently in his or her seat.
Shen Feng retracted his soul and exhaled.
The examiner began to send out the papers, it was Master Li and Master Cheng who sent the papers, and Li Lao wandered around the examination room. It made the candidates who originally got the exam paper and wanted to think about it even more nervous.
When Master Li handed the exam paper to Shen Feng, he looked up and smiled at him lovingly, Shen Feng also smiled back, without any fluctuation in his heart, and when he opened the exam paper, he saw that it read "On the Way of Confucius and Mencius".
Shen Feng thought about it, just talking about "the way of Confucius and Mencius". That's not easy. No, it won't be that simple. Shen Feng smiled slightly, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote down his answer.
The candidates thought for a while and began to write hard, they were all talented people in the local area, and everyone's thinking changed quickly.
Li Lao walked around, came to Shen Feng's side, and nodded silently in his heart, this girl's second brother is really not visible, he looks like a little fox, he didn't expect to learn so well.
Li Lao returned to his seat and sat down to drink tea, for an hour and a half, why did he agree to this kind of thing in the first place, this did not let people from outside come in, nor let us go out, did not let me eat, did not let me play chess, I still can't stare at a candidate's paper for a long time, oh my God, no, I have to go back and let Nian Yatou make delicious food to comfort my wounded heart.
Lord Li and Master Cheng looked at Mr. Li sitting on the seat calmly, silently sipping tea, and looking at the candidates around them, they secretly admired Mr. Li in their hearts, he really deserved to be a master of Chinese studies, and such an important thing could be so calm. If they knew what the master of Chinese culture was thinking in their eyes, Zhun Bao would have to vomit three liters of blood before he stopped.
After an hour, Li Lao returned to his seat to drink tea after a few laps, no, I have to ask Nian Yatou to give me a few unique books. Li Lao silently bit his handkerchief in his heart, so boring, so boring, how many years, for so long, he didn't do anything and stared at these hairy boys. Also, what kind of rotten tea is this, I didn't read the good taste that the girl gave him last time, and he didn't let me bring my own tea, Li Lao was already aggrieved in his heart.
Master Li and Master Cheng admired Mr. Li even more at this time, he was still so calm after an hour, thinking that he and Mr. Li (Cheng) were already very anxious, and watched Mr. Li begin to calm down.
Li Lao looked at the two juniors with the light of worship in his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he blocked it with a teacup, his image must be maintained, and it cannot be destroyed.
......
In the teahouse outside the examination room.
"Wow, now the teahouse within a radius of ten miles of the examination room is full of people, and it is estimated that they are all waiting for candidates for the literary examination." Lin Junwu came in from outside the door and said.
"Fortunately, Nian'er had the foresight to arrange a room in advance, you don't know, it's noisy outside now." Lin Junwu sat down and drank a cup of tea and said.
"What's the noise?" Shen Nian asked strangely.
"Who are the champions and tanhua who are arguing this time."
"Well, I really want to know about that." Shen Nian touched his chin and said with a serious face. Lin Fuliu, Shen Qing and Chu Yan also nodded seriously, they also wanted to know.
The corners of Lin Junwu's mouth twitched, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Nian'er, don't you know divination, do the math." β
Shen Nian rolled his eyes, "No, there are a lot of accidents in this exam, if you really want to calculate it, it is mixed not only with the national fortune of the Eastern Dynasty, but also with the luck of the emperor and me, it is not easy to calculate." And it's so boring to calculate, can it be that when the second brother training court and Mu Bai come out, we will tell them how many exams you have. β
Lin Junwu nodded, "Indeed." β
"How much longer?" Lin Fuliu asked.
"It's only been an hour." Shen Nian held his chin and looked at the examination room, alas, this time I have to compensate Li Lao, it's really boring.
In fact, it was she who secretly went to Li Lao to let him be the chief examiner, because then the prestige of the Eastern Dynasty's literary examination would be blessed and magnified because of Li Lao. Shen Nian is for Shangguan Zhifei, Li Lao doesn't know what Shen Nian is for, thinking about it, the girl said it, then agree.
I didn't expect it to be so boring, Shen Nian was thinking about giving Li Lao something to compensate.
Lin Fuliu drank tea and looked at Chen Ge who was patrolling outside the examination room, with a mighty, serious and domineering face, Lin Fuliu's heart jumped up, and his face was slightly red.
Chen Ge seemed to have a sense, looked up at Lin Fuliu and just saw that Chen Ge did not smile on his face, but the smile and gentleness in his eyes, Lin Fuliu clearly felt it, and Lin Fuliu also smiled gently.
Chen Ge lowered his head and continued to inspect. However, Chen Ge's heart had already begun to laugh out loud, and Liu Er smiled at me, hahahahahaha, I'm going to succeed, yes.
The surrounding guards glanced at the leader, and saw that the leader was still patrolling with a cold face, and felt that he was not delusional, and he always felt that the leader was so happy now. But how boring the tour is, it must be a delusion of oneself.
Shen Nian saw the interaction between Lin Fuliu and Chen Ge, and winked at Lin Fuliu, Lin Fuliu knocked on Shen Nian's head, "Not good." A smile on his face.
Shen Nian stuck out his tongue and asked Lin Fuliu, "Sister, when will you get married?" β
Lin Fuliu thought about it, Chen Ge had waited for him for many years, and there were many high-ranking officials who wanted to marry Chen Ge for so many years, but Chen Ge ignored it, coaxing himself to be happy every day, knowing that he didn't want to marry for the time being because he wanted to accompany his husband and mother.
Lin Fuliu thought that Chen Ge looked majestic in front of others but stupid in front of himself, so he covered his mouth and chuckled: "It's almost over."
Lin Junwu's eyes widened, "Sister, you are serious." β
Lin Fuliu nodded.
"Oh my God, then Brother Chen has to die of joy." Lin Junwu was very happy when he thought of this news, because he had already admired Chen Ge very much, and now that he knew that the other party really wanted to become his brother-in-law, Lin Junwu was not happy in his heart. Don't talk about Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin, they have long been subdued by Chen Ge. Now it's finally time to be together.
"That sister, you have to invite me then." Shen Nian hugged Lin Fuliu's arm and rubbed it and said.
Lin Fuliu scratched Shen Nian's nose, "Of course." β
Mu Bai muttered for a long time: "I want to go too."
Everyone talked for so long, and they also found that Chu Yan generally didn't speak, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Lin Fuliu nodded, "Hmm." β
Shen Nian touched his chin and looked at Chu Yan, this name is quite cold, and he looks very tall and cold, why is this temperament so middle-class.
Chu Yan's master suddenly sneezed, sneezed, sneezed.
"Hey, old ghost, someone scolded you."
"Fuck off. Hurry up, it's my turn. β
"You're down."
"Are you playing chess?"
"Where I move, you sit in front of me, how can I move."
"I just sneezed. You must be taking advantage of that time. β
"Don't overdo it."
"You're excessive. Tianqingzi, Lao Tzu fought with you. β
"Oops, I'll kill you."
The two "old men" who looked like fairy-spirited bones fought. An old man next to him who looked like he was also very fairy slowly drank tea, looked at the two of them who were playing chess again, and rolled his eyes.
"It's so boring." Lin Junwu said.
Everyone nodded, this hour and a half is so long.
Shen Nian lay on the table.
"Does Nian'er have someone you like?" Lin Fuliu asked.
Shen Nian raised his head, thinking about Gao Lingyan's appearance, smiled sweetly, and nodded, "Hmm." β
Lin Fuliu was surprised and asked, "Who is it?" Do I know each other? β
Shen Nian tilted his head and thought about it.
Lin Junwu said: "What else do you want." This Eastern Dynasty who does not know him. β
Lin Fuliu looked at Lin Junwu questioningly, and then asked Shen Nian, "Who?"
Shen Nian stuck out his tongue, "Soon you'll know." β
Lin Fuliu scratched Shen Nian's nose, "Ghost spirit." β
Shen Nian smiled.
"It's almost there, the essay exam will be over in less than half an hour." Shen Qing said.
Inside the exam room
Shen Nian had already put down his pen, and then read his article carefully, well, he was very satisfied. Then he began to be in a daze, and when he went back, he should let Nian'er do something for himself.
There were still candidates around who were struggling to write, Shen Feng looked at it, and Mu Bai and Xun Ting had also put down their pens.
It's finally going to end, Nian'er is probably in a hurry, this time I'll take Nian'er to buy something in a few days, I feel that Nian'er should go buy a few new clothes, it's not okay to wear those few all the time, this time buy her pink. Lovely for sure.
"The exam is over, and the exam papers are collected." Master Li shouted.
Then Master Li and Master Cheng went over and put away the exam papers.
outside
"Look, look, Li Lao, they are out." Someone in the crowd outside the exam room said.
Lin Junwu also poked Shen Nian, who was lying on the table, "Nian'er, look, the examiner has come out." β
Shen Nian immediately straightened up and looked outside, sure enough, Li Lao and they all came out.
After a while, I saw the candidates coming out one after another, and there were already people outside to greet the young master of their family.
Shen Nian and the others didn't go down, they had agreed with Shen Feng and Xun Ting to wait for them here, but now they went down, there were so many people, but it was not easy to meet.
Shen Nian sat on the seat and shook his body, his eyes full of excitement.
"Mu Bai. I'm going to bring him. Chu Yan said. As soon as the words fell, he disappeared.
"What a high martial arts." Lin Junwu said.
Shen Nian looked at Chu Yan's martial arts routine, isn't it, it's that person's apprentice?
"I see my second brother." Shen Nian stuck his head out of the window, "Second brother." β
There were so many people, and it was noisy, Shen Feng heard it all of a sudden, and raised his head and waved his hand at Shen Nian.
After a while, the door opened, and Shen Feng Xunting and Mu Bai Chuyan all came in.
"Sit down, sit down." Shen Nian pulled out the stool.
Shen Feng sat down, and Shen Nian handed over the freshly poured tea.
"Second brother, Xunting, Mu Bai, how did you do in the exam?"
Mu Bai was still a little confused, when Chu Yan came to him just now to say that he had made a new friend, Mu Bai had a feeling that he had not been in the examination room for ten years, Chu Yan actually made friends at such a time, and he admitted it. Then Mu Bai was pulled by Chu Yan with a bewildered expression.
Mu Bai sat on the stool and blinked, always feeling that Shen Nian was very familiar. I didn't answer.
Everyone looked at Mu Bai looking at Shen Nian without blinking, which was also very strange.
"Ahhhh Mu Bai suddenly stood up from the stool, pointed at Shen Nian, looked shocked and took a few steps back, almost falling.
Chu Yan grabbed Mu Bai, and knew the reaction of this product.
Shen Nian smiled, revealing her white teeth, and now she knew who these two people were.
Mu Bai hid behind Chu Yan with a frightened face, and his face was about to cry, "Why is this little witch." Dead end. β
Shen Nian smiled even happier, "Give it to me...... Sit down. β
Mu Bai sat down tremblingly, not at all like the light and breezy appearance of the noble prince just now. And they were amazed.
Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Shen Nian didn't think about it for a while.
When I was a child, my master took me to the mountains, and once Tianqingzi said that her friend was coming. Shen Nian and Murong Xun were also shocked, the master had friends.
Then the next day, two old men with fairy wind bones came with two teenagers.
Mu Bai looked very cute and stupid when he was a child, which was completely different from what he is now.
It was the year that Mu Bai and Chu Yan were on the mountain, and Mu Bai felt that his childhood was all shadows.
When he was a child, Shen Nian was with his master and Murong Xun on the mountain, and finally a newcomer came to the mountain, and he was still such a lovely person, Shen Nian was naturally very happy.
And Shen Nian is also cute, Shen Nian's deeds of "teasing and bullying" Mu Bai, in the eyes of the three masters, Chu Yan and Murong Xun, Shen Nian is so cute to death.
Mu Bai's teacher even wanted to thank Shen Nian, because Mu Bai had only a few expressions since he was born when he was a child, and Shen Nian made his expressions so much more this time, it was too late to thank him.
So Mu Bai's year has experienced the shadow of a lifetime.
Shen Nian supported his forehead. I didn't expect to make such a deep impression on Mu Bai.
"Well, it wasn't because you were cute when you were a kid. It's okay. Do. Shen Nian said.
Mu Bai sat down with spit in his eyes, but he was still far away from Shen Nian, feeling that Shen Nian was surrounded by dangerous factors.
Shen Qing and the others were also speechless when they saw Mu Bai like this, what did this thought have to do to make Mu Bai almost how many years ago, and they were still so afraid of Shen Nian.
They wouldn't know, in Mu Bai's dream, only dreaming of Shen Nian was a nightmare.
"Okay, how did you do on the test?" Shen Nian asked.
Shen Feng replied: "My topic in this exam is 'On the Way of Confucius and Mencius'. It feels pretty good. β
"I know that the second brother is the most powerful." Shen Nian looked proud and coquettish.
Seeing this, Mu Bai gasped, this is how Shen Nian subdued the other people on the mountain when he was a child, and deceived himself, so that he could fall into her hands later, Mu Bai burst into tears in his heart.
"Huh?" Mu Bai suddenly spoke.
"How?" Shen Nian asked.
Mu Bai glanced at Shen Nian, and then looked at Shen Feng, "My exam question is 'On the Way of the Legalist'. β
Jun Xunting spoke: "My topic is 'On the Way of the Mohists'."
"It's all different." Lin Junwu said.
"Was it like this before?" Shen Nian asked.
Shen Qing shook his head: "No." It seems that this is a new strategy this year. And once plagiarized, you can know it in one sentence. β
Lin Fuliu touched his chin and nodded: "It's indeed a good strategy."
"Sister Mu Bailiu, come to my house to eat at night. I'm cooking it myself today. Shen Nian blinked his eyes wide.
Mu Bai's eyes lit up, when he was a child, in addition to Shen Nian's methods, Shen Nian's cooking was delicious, because Murong Xun only cooked food for Shen Nian, so Tianqingzi and they could only eat Shen Nian's food occasionally, but it was enough, because it was delicious. Because of this, Mu Bai was also subtly subdued.
"Okay." Lin Fuliu was very happy.
"Do you want to bring Brother Chen with you?" Shen Nian said with a wink.
Lin Fuliu pinched Shen Nian's little nose, "Then you bring your one too." β
Shen Nian thought about it, Brother Yan should be fine, and nodded, "Okay." β
......
At night
Shen Xing, Mei Shang and Shen Yang ignored them after asking Shen Feng about the exam, anyway, they didn't really want Shen Feng to do anything. And the evening was the words of their group of young people, so all three went out.
Several people were sitting at the table.
"It smells so good." Lin Junwu asked about the fragrance.
"yes. Nian'er's cooking is delicious. Mu Bai said.
Chen Ge sat next to Lin Fuliu and poured her wine.
Today, Lin Fuliu came to herself after the exam and said that he and he would go to her friend's house with him and invite them to dinner.
Chen Ge said casually: "Then what identity am I?" He often said this, and he didn't expect Lin Fuliu to ignore him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fuliu tilted his head and looked at Chen Ge like a fool, and suddenly gave him a burst, "Of course it's my fiancΓ©." β
Then, Chen Ge, the leader of the first session, the idol in the hearts of many people, was stupid after hearing Lin Fuliu's words.
Lin Fuliu looked at Chen Ge laughing there, looking stupid, Lin Fuliu glared at him, took the fool's hand and left. The face was slightly red. This idiot.
Therefore, Chen Ge is very heartfelt now.
Shen Nian entered the house with the last dish. "It's better to be together, okay, okay." Shen Nian looked happy.
Lin Fuliu looked at the people on the table, Shen Qing, Shen Feng, Mu Bai, Chu Yan, Lin Jun, Wu Jun Xunting, and the big fool around him.
Lin Fuliu looked at Shen Nian, "Nian'er, one less." β
