The time for the township test to arrive is very fast.

In a blink of an eye, it was the middle of May, and the water in Nantang was full in May, blowing off, and the carp wind. The little lady stopped and fingered, the bottom of the water, see the bonus.

Before the township test, Lin Chaoge deliberately went back to Lin Mansion to live for a few days, and Xi'er began to be busy preparing talisman bags, Aihu, zongzi, and five poisonous sachets.

In a blink of an eye, the pomegranate flowers in the academy have bloomed, and before you know it, there is a fragrant fragrance of flowers everywhere.

In the last township test, Wang Xifeng was not at ease and personally sent Lin Chaoge to the examination room.

It was crowded before the township test.

After meeting with Bai Qingxing, Lin Chaoge sat in the room, took a deep breath, and answered the question.

Her heart was very quiet, so quiet that she didn't feel like she was taking the township exam, as if it was just an ordinary college exam.

The title of this incident is from the Taoist "Yi Chuan"

Those who are dry are also those who are prosperous from the beginning. Those who are chaste have a temperament. Qianshi can benefit the sky with America, and the bottom is not what is beneficial. Great! What the hell? Strong and upright, pure and refined. Sixth, play, bypass the affection also. When taking six dragons, to the sky. The clouds and rain are shining, and the world is peaceful. A gentleman takes virtue as his line, and he can see it every day. Hidden is also words, hidden and not seen, lined

And it didn't work out, it was a gentleman's use.

"I Ching" is about the complex hexagram, the view of the hexagram, the six lines, yin and yang, the profit and void, the way of change, and the way of change, and the study of other scriptures, to set up a court first, you have to read through the commentary of Taoism, Moism, and Legalism, in order to understand its meaning.

"I Ching" is a book that focuses on the yin and yang of heaven and earth, the changes of all things, and everything contains infinite changes.

Different people get different insights from the book, ranging from looking up at astronomy, looking down on geography, and realizing the good policy of stabilizing the country, to divining the good fortune and evil of the day. In short, finding out the laws behind the change and adapting to it can make the good better, and at the same time try to avoid the harm of change.

The reason is simple, but Lin Chaoge was stumped, and he couldn't even understand the meaning of the yang and yin lines.

I was troubled and thought for a long time before grinding the pen.

Until it moved westward, smoke wafted in the distance, and Wen tried to carry a basket to distribute meals, nothing more than two steamed buns, a small plate of pickles and a pot of slightly heated tea.

After Lin Chaoge answered all the questions, she checked it several times from beginning to end, and she didn't rush to put it down.

The township test was also three days, and this time Lin Chaoge did not bring in the same food basket as last time.

She handed in the paper after the county exam, but she couldn't do this in the township exam.

Early in the morning of the third day, with the sound of the examiner beating the iron and copper basket, it was announced that the township examination was officially over.

Gongyuan Street is hot, people with candidates at home have been waiting early, waiting for the door of the government to open, a swarm of bees have come up, even the spring stool to carry people are ready, see someone out of the Gongyuan to go up, holding pillows, spring stools to go up to find people, orderly for fear of blocking other people's way and delaying time.

As soon as she came out of the Gongyuan, she felt lightheaded, her steps were vain, she struggled to squeeze out the crowd, her eyes were black for a while, and she fainted before she could walk to Wang Xifeng, who came to pick her up.

Wang Xifeng was startled, rushed forward in a few steps, picked her up, sent her to the carriage, lowered the curtain first, and then hugged her and lay down in his arms.

Wang Xifeng sighed, his fingers gently brushed the beads of sweat from her sideburns, wrung out the towel and gently wiped her cheeks.

Someone tapped on the carriage, and Xi'er asked outside, "How is Childe?" ”

Wang Xifeng came back to his senses, remembering that he was the little scholar next to Wang Xifeng and said, "Don't get in the way, she's tired, and she'll be fine after a while." ”

The carriage drove directly back to Liujie, Wang Xifeng asked Liu Yang to take a look at the door, and then picked her up and entered the inner courtyard.

Liu Yang and Xi'er followed behind, not surprised.

Soon after the test, it is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the people celebrate together.

Lin Chaoge's spirit was always tense during the exam, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment, At the moment of the exam, the whole person was weak and collapsed, his hands and feet were soft, and after waking up, he poured a few large bowls of sweet pear sugar water into his stomach before recovering a little strength.

She is a layman who likes to be vassal, in addition to a few delicate and elegant branches with dew, there is also a load of green paper piled up in the corner, a white jade lying deer copper paperweight, a box of purple hao small pen, a pair of hollow Taihu stone pen holders, and a white porcelain lotus inkstone.

After lying on the bed for a long time, Lin Chaoge was soon able to walk around on the ground.

Tonight, the crescent moon hangs on the treetops, and the dark water sings the dry swamp. From time to time, I saw the sparse stars falling on the eaves, and the fireflies were small at a few points. There is not much to return, so it is pretended to be surrounded. If you want to send a new voice to ask Cai Ling, the water is wide and the smoke is misty.

Lin Chaoge just woke up, and casually put on a robe and came out to enjoy the moon and flowers.

Before the fifteenth moon is full, sixteen round, seventeen or eighteen cloudy and sunny round, such as a round of crescent moon hanging on the horizon.

"Lin Yan, did you just wake up and eat something to cushion your stomach first" Under a round of bright crescent moon, the young man in the tender yellow robe tied his ponytail with a white silk ribbon, a pair of tearful apricot eyes were as bright as starlight, and the eyebrows were delicate and could be painted, and the corners of his mouth were bent up and smiled at her slightly.

It seems that the night in this garden is no better than the people in front of you.

Lin Chaoge happened to meet Wang Xifeng, who was also sleepless, and was a little stunned, how could this person appear in the back garden of her house in the middle of the night, tightening the robe he was wearing, and couldn't help but be a little funny, it is difficult for this person to treat this place as his home.

"No, I don't have much appetite," politely refused, looking up at the night sky dotted with few stars, a little too monotonous at night.

"Are you also sleepy during the day, and now you can't sleep" Wang Xifeng poured two cups of tea straight and moved to the opposite side.

Lin Chaoge hummed softly, and slowly paced to the stone table and sat down, with a light breeze.

Lin Chaoge took a few sips from the teacup, the tea was sweet, just lukewarm. His eyes fell on the brand-new official kiln white porcelain thin-skinned peony coffee table, and raised his eyebrows: "Something!" ”

He seems to love a hundred taels of gold, even the cuffs and the hem patterns are all used in this pattern, and he talks about the aesthetics of wealth and wealth, and many young people who are soaked in the honey pot of wealth do not know the suffering of the world.

"Lin Yan, don't hide it......" A call called Lin Chaoge, who woke up and pondered, his voice was cold, like a mountain spring hidden in a deep valley, ethereal and clear, with a unique hoarseness, but the tone was soft, Wang Xifeng pulled her sleeve and said: "It's good for you to draw me a picture and decorate the house for me." ”

Lin Chaoge was stunned for a moment, got up and walked to the low wooden fence bush, and lightly folded a daffodil.

"Why".

"Because I often praise you for being good." Wang Xifeng said casually.

"Good" but smell the fragrance of flowers, watch fireflies flying, smell frogs chirping insects, and the night breeze is ethereal, this summer night is a little more fun.

"Okay, since this is the case, the gentleman said that the horse is difficult to chase" Wang Xifeng was afraid that as soon as tonight passed, this person would beat Ma Ha and said that he had forgotten.

"Hmm".

After Wang Xifeng saw her agree, he carefully took out a mahogany carved Luoyang flower brocade box, and held it flat in front of Lin Chaoge with both hands like a treasure, with a red nose and red agate eyes with a snow-white face, wearing a golden helmet, pure white ear tips exposed, wearing gold armor, holding a red cherry spear, majestic and lifelike.

"What is this?"

"I give you a birthday gift, but rejoice" If a person has a tail, I am afraid that King Xifeng will be in the sky at this moment.

"Hmm" Lin Chaoge stretched out her hand to take it, put it in the palm of her hand and played with it carefully, full of new love, this was the first time she had received a gift, and it was even more so cute.

"It's good if you like it" smiled for the Pomeranian, and it didn't matter if he had all his money, he found that he had learned from the princes of the Youwang Beacon Fire Opera that week.

On the second day, as soon as the sky turned white, there was a knock on the painted mahogany door.

When I opened it, it turned out to be the shopkeeper who bought the four treasures of the study in the city.

That's all, he also bought a few colors of pigments such as limestone, stone green, cinnabar, and rouge powder, which are expensive and rarely used in ordinary paintings.

The literati paid attention to the fact that there are poems in paintings, and there are paintings in poems. Painting integrates calligraphy, painting, writing and seal carving.

At the beginning, the original owner was also scorched ink, thick ink, heavy ink, light ink, and after the difference in depth and luster between clear ink, Lin Xiucai taught her pen skills.

In the morning, the sun basks in the courtyard, the light is just right, and the pool water is sparkling. Xi'er held the pole high and walked in front of Lin Chaoge, "Young master, look, the loquat on this painting is just like the real thing!" ”

Since it is a picture of Duanyang, it is natural to draw things that suit the scene. Draw a shallow bean blue and white porcelain plate, the plate is full of loquat fruits, a few loquat scattered aside, and a string of fat bulging leaf dumplings in the corner.

Pigment painting tools are expensive, the Lin family's painting tools are very few, the pigments are only garcinia cambogia, eosin, rouge, cyanine, ochre, the size of the pen is bought more than a dozen, the texture of the rice paper is also prepared several piles.

Lin Chaoge painted loquat fruit with light eosin, and then painted zongzi with light green dots of garcinia cambogia and a little cyanine, and outlined the grass rope with thick ink.

There are only a few brushstrokes in the whole painting, a plate of ripe yellow loquats, a few rice dumplings tied with straw ropes, and that's it.

Lin Chaoge felt that this painting was quite interesting, as if he could smell the aroma of fruit dumplings, but it was a little monotonous.

After thinking for a while, I raised the pen again at four o'clock, and the nine sons competed for new leaves.

When the painting was completely dry, she took off the scroll, walked back to the inner room of the study, hung the painting on the powder wall facing the desk, looked at it for a while, and then took it off and carefully placed it in a green cloud cardboard box.

"Young master, you don't seem to have eaten zongzi this year" Seeing that people were busy and empty, Xi'er hurriedly slipped over.

Xi'er raised her eyebrows, the Dragon Boat Festival salted duck eggs, fried five poisons, mung bean cake can not be eaten, realgar wine, calamus wine can also not be drunk.

But Duanyang doesn't eat zongzi, how can it be counted as a festival? Moreover, zongzi means high school, and the reader must eat a few zongzi to please the omen on this day, not to mention that his young master just came out of the Gongyuan examination a few days ago, just waiting for the news of the middle lift, how can he not eat zongzi.

Suddenly thinking of something, a few smiles appeared on Xi'er's face, and her eyes rolled: "I almost forgot, a few days ago, the little prince Wang just sent a lot of zongzi, which means that the young master is in high school."

Young master, there are always hot zongzi in the big pot on the stove, chestnuts, red dates, dried persimmons, ginkgo, red beans, and pork ribs filling, why don't you eat some now? ”
