"Lord Jing is actually willing to let Brother Lin go out alone, to be honest, you handed me a post yesterday, I still don't believe it, after all, who doesn't know that King Jing regards Brother Lin as an eyeball." Zhu Li teased the people in front of him while drinking tea: "But I haven't seen him in March, I found that Brother Lin is more beautiful, is it very good to moisturize people." Chong Lin Chaoge winked.

Lin Chaoge just didn't hear the second half of the sentence; "Although I am allowed to go out, but there is a curfew, if Brother Zhu wants to drag me to fool around all night, it is better to think about it, after all, I don't know if the head of the family will hold a grudge."

"I didn't say I wanted to fool you, but you said it yourself." Zhu Li hurriedly shook his head and denied it, thinking that he was fortunate not to say that sentence, in case he was afraid that he would not even be able to sleep comfortably at night in the future.

"Brother Lin finally came out for a trip, so you don't have to say a few words that are not fun." Zhu Shengge handed over the edamame in front of him, and his consciousness made him gag; "Besides, we are out to go out today, and we are not parents."

"But do you know who is in the teahouse today?" Lin Chaoge took the white porcelain spoon and lightly buttoned the edge of the bowl, looking at the table of people who had just come in and sat down, his curly eyelashes half-hanging to cover his eyes and think deeply.

"It's a mixed bag, and it's not necessarily that there are many capable people, but I really know a few." Zhu Lizhi knew that the few people present except him were all going to participate in the scientific examination, so they didn't order wine and said that they would get drunk, but asked for several bowls of soybean milk boiled with osmanthus and drank it to get rid of the heat.

He used his chopsticks to gently gesture to the ivory yellow-clothed man who was whispering to the people in the northwest direction: "The one with the Dongpo scarf on his head, who looks gentle and elegant, is actually like a cunning wolf wearing human skin, is from the recognized regional champion in Zhejiang, his name is Song Chu, his father is a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, and he is also the top of the Chang'an Academy in this examination." ”

Lin Chaoge was a little stunned and looked in the direction he pointed, and found that Zhu Li's description was very good, this young man dressed by Song Chu imitating Wei Jin was very different, especially when you met her eyes, there was always a taste of shock.

The top three of Chang'an Academy's list were divided between Zhu Shengge, Bai Qingxing, Chu Shen, and the rest of Lin Chaoge would not be remembered deeply, and even the name Song Chu was the first time she had heard it, which was really weird.

"As for the two people sitting on the table on our upper left foot, they are both from Hangzhou, Jiangsu, and the younger one is named Jiang Shijie, who is the first two in the Jiangsu Township Examination, both of them have studied in Luoyang University, and they may not be in the same class as Brother Lin, although it is normal not to know each other."

Zhu Li paused as he spoke; "Since entering Beijing, these two have been very low-key, but the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and the two of them are good-looking, so many families have already inquired about whether they have a wife's room, and plan to sell their daughters.

This Lin Chaoge knows that the Luling culture in Hangzhou and Jiangsu has spread through the ages, but whenever Jiangsu Xie Yuan enters the examination, especially those who enter the two universities, they are generally the top three who can't run away, so these two people are particularly eye-catching, but she knows that this year's Chang'an top three are no longer among them, but from Luoyang and Chang'an University.

"My father also said that this Jiang Shijie is good-looking, young and knowledgeable, and if there is no accident, he will be able to explore flowers." Fang Cheng asked with a smile; "Anyway, where did Brother Zhu Li hear these news?"

Zhu Li glanced at him and said, quite disgusted: "Naturally, I inquired in private." Why, I can't find out the news? Besides, I don't need to participate in the scientific examination, isn't this just to let you know that you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, you see how good I am to you, isn't it. ”

Su Zhilin took a sip of tea: "Of course, thank you for leaving the brother to worry about us." "He's in a good mood right now, like this autumn day, with the fragrance of flowers.

When Lin Chaoge heard this, he also raised his spoon and gently knocked it on the white porcelain bowl in front of him: "However, I think the biggest favorite to win the championship this year is still at our table." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Heaven must not be divulged."

Zhu Li, Su Zhilin and Fang Cheng glanced at each other, no longer spoke, and even Zhu Shengge, who was eating osmanthus soy milk, looked at her in a little surprise.

Knowing that the other is invincible, the bookstore in the capital has already collected masters from all over the world to print and print a book, listing the top ten candidates, and even the major casinos can bet, Lin Chaoge took a look at it in his spare time, and there was even her among them, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The few people they just caught, plus their table is also the most crowded, and the people around them are talking a lot, and there are even many people who know each other, and those who don't know each other want to step forward to play the autumn wind set.

Although the Jinshi in the examination is naturally majestic, even if he is selected as a Jinshi, he will have to accompany him for a few years, and if he performs well, he can have an official rank.

But the top three are different, this is the darling of God, with a long face in front of the palace, favored by the emperor. As long as you don't die too much, as long as you look good, there is basically no problem in the future. When a group of Jinshi parade the streets, the ones who can be remembered are the top three, the ones with flowers are also the top three, and the ones behind are all background characters, there is no role, of course, it is not excluded that you are good-looking and have a good family background.

However, this is also a popular candidate, and it is difficult to say whether you can be admitted or not.

The shopkeeper with a white towel brought a plate of edamame, peanuts, a plate of cooked beef in cooked sauce and a few bowls of soy milk. A few of them had no intention of eating or drinking, they only listened to the people around them talk about some excitement, and the most talked about was what they would take this year's exam and who the invigilator was.

Zhu Li drank a bowl of soy milk in a few sips, looked outside, and said strangely: "Look, isn't that Chu Shen's kid?" ”

I saw a carriage stop outside the tavern, and a man wearing a black robe and a sword at his waist got out of the carriage. Handsome and elegant, with a long body, and a murderous aura, who else could it be if it wasn't Chu Shen. He didn't seem to see them, but spoke to the person next to him in a low voice, and then went up to the second floor with a nonchalant expression. There were guards guarding a private room on the second floor, and Chu Shen entered it.

Zhu Li lowered his voice and said, "You said that he suddenly came out sneakily, does it mean that His Majesty also came out." "Since His Royal Highness the Seventh ascended the throne, the relationship with him that he had previously befriended has naturally risen, including Chu Shen, who is now a hot celebrity in front of His Majesty.

Who knew that the outside shouted: "Damn the weather, it's raining......." ”

Suddenly, there was a sigh in the room: "No, isn't it going to be cold again." ”

"I still think that the sun will come out on the day of the scientific expedition, even if it is cloudy than rainy!"

The lifters were worried about the change in temperature, and everyone naturally wanted to take the exam warmly. I was very happy to see the sun rise in the past few days, but the weather was not beautiful, it rained, and the most annoying thing in autumn was the rain, and there was a kind of cold air rising from the soles of my feet, which made people's hearts shiver.

Although it is the golden autumn of September, once it rains, it is cold and infiltrating, and the most hated thing is that it rains non-stop for days and days, and it is wet and cold.

"I don't know when the rain will stop, and the horse race will not be completed, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the Chenghuang Temple to incense, and even the promised to go to Nanshan to pick maples will have to be canceled." Youjuzi looked at the rain outside and complained.

Seeing that the rain outside couldn't stop for a while, everyone had to take a car to the City God Temple to offer incense.

I don't know where the examination tradition came, incense to Confucius, incense to the Bodhisattva, in short, don't let go of those who can worship, in case the gods will appear on the way, it is also their luck, to the City God's Temple, because of the rain, it is not so crowded, on weekdays, a penny and a pillar of incense, now it is ten, but the surrounding lifters do not even dare to complain, for fear that the Bodhisattva will hear and think that your heart is not sincere enough.

Anyway, if you become a lifter, the court will issue a lot of subsidies, and the local squire and county magistrate will come to make friends with you, and you won't be too poor, and you will carry two or three taels of silver when you go out. If you are a little famous, you will climb the high branches early, and you will eat and drink in the old man's house, where do you need to spend money.

Lin Chaoge put on incense and came out of the Bodhisattva, and happened to see Zhu Li and Zhu Shengge, two cousins in the Fang Cai tavern, also coming over, and there were more than a dozen people behind him, talking to them, all of whom were people with good faces.

The two of them are good-natured and answer one by one, if they meet a person with a bad temper and want to leave, who told them to ask not academic questions, but personal questions about the postponement of the marriage with Bai Ling, the first beauty in Chang'an.

From ancient times to the present, no matter where you are, it is very advantageous to be good-looking, not only in talking about marriage, but also when you take the palace test, Your Majesty often orders a good-looking Jinshi, after all, everyone is very face-controlled, not to mention that she used to be ashamed to say stupid things about wanting to brush her face, Lin Chaoge walked forward and was about to go back, but found that someone was standing at the door waiting for her.

Su Cheng was also standing at the door of the Manjushri Temple, looking at the pouring rain, seeing her come out, he hurriedly held an umbrella and walked slowly, but the rain was still a lot wet on his shoulders. He put away his umbrella sideways and asked, "Brother Lin, are you leaving?" ”

"Well, it's raining, so naturally you have to go, not to mention that there are people waiting at home." It is self-evident who the family is.

Originally, they agreed to ride a horse to climb Nanshan at the beginning, but it was canceled due to a heavy rain, so why not go home early to review schoolwork and consolidate knowledge points.

Fang Cheng walked over to her with a smile in his eyes, Lin Chaoge Chaoge looked like jade carved snow, and his eyebrows and eyes were elegant, especially when he was talking to you, when the pair of narrow peach blossom eyes were slightly picky, even he was a man who sometimes couldn't help but be moved.

Fang Cheng asked someone to bring the carriage over, Lin Chaoge just looked at him calmly, he said a little nervously: "It's raining, I'll send Brother Lin back, it just so happens that our mansions are not far apart, and I will send you by the way." ”
