Chapter 3: What do you think?
But after all, she didn't want to stay in such a strong environment anymore, she insisted on leaving the scene, and smiled apologetically at the two, "Then I'll go to the guest room first." ”
"Walk slowly." Qin Jinghao said lightly, and his white jade-like face was still faintly apologetic to Luo Yunyao.
This made Yue Liuxi unhappy, she looked at the surrounding environment in disgust, looked at Qin Jinghao again, and asked uncertainly, "Brother Qin, do you really want to live here tonight?" ”
Because of Luo Yao's matter, Qin Jinghao originally didn't like her, but at this time, she was even more displeased, and after responding lightly, she didn't sit down, let alone wait for the county lord's answer, her sleeves flicked, leaving only a faint back and disappearing at the corner of the stairs.
On the contrary, Cangshu's disgust for her was written on his face, Luo Yunyao was gone, Qin Jinghao was gone, he didn't need to care about anyone's face, and snorted coldly at the county lord, "The daughter of the county lord of the moon, this small shop is blessed, I'm afraid I can't afford your big Buddha." ”
Then, in Yue Liuxi's angry eyes, he left without looking back.
didn't go back to his room first, Cangzhu arrived at Qin Jinghao's guest room, Qin Jinghao was reading a flying pigeon book, Cangshu sat down at the table, and poured tea by himself, "Why do you feel a little strange about your attitude towards Brother Luo today?" This is not your usual style! ”
After Qin Jinghao read the content of the letter, he lit a fire on the candlestick with the corner of the paper, and the jumping flame flickered to illuminate his good-looking side face slightly deeper, he turned his head to look at his friend's comfortable appearance, put the remaining paper corner in his hand into the candlestick, and watched the pages all burned out, before slowly answering the question, "Brother Luo today, what do you think?" ”
"What do you think? Of course, he is young, rich in five cars, only eight buckets high, not shallow in knowledge, and has good qualifications. Cangzhu took a sip of tea, 'tsk' twice, "The wine here is good, but I didn't expect the tea to be like this, if you guess correctly, the tea should be the 'green bamboo cui' of the previous year, and it is not delicious." ”
Qin Jinghao walked to the table, and also poured himself a cup of tea to taste, although there was a lack of a clear fragrance, but the thick 'green bamboo cui' is indeed a unique taste, the smell of the tongue has changed from shallow to thick, thick and with a rich meaning of dead leaves, it is also fragrant, he smiled, "You are superficial." ”
His merciless pun comment made Cangshu unhappy, "I think you're superficial!" Tell me how he is? ”
"You see that he is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, and he is different from ordinary people in terms of talent, knowledge, and bearing, and he is also from the country of Biluo......"
Qin Jinghao paused deliberately, leaving some time for Cangshu to think about it, but he didn't know that this person didn't care at all, and began to ask again, "What's wrong with Biluoguo?" Before the war, Xiqin and Biluo often interacted? ”
"Then we also have to look at the time of the exchange, Biluo's regime is unstable, Tiansheng will sooner or later control Biluo's royal power, and although our Xiqin is calm on the surface, but the situation between the DPRK and China, do you still not know?"
Qin Jinghao continued to talk to him, his eyes were dyed with a layer of haze under the mist, and when he was thinking about the problem, his two hands habitually clasped together, and he was relieved again, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The court of Western Qin is so big, let's see what she wants to do first!" ”
Under his eyes is the expectation of the near future, or the expectation of Luo Yunyao's future actions, faintly, he always feels that what this person does will have an indelible impact on him, so he seems to be a little extra concerned.
Cangshu was stunned by his words, as if Luo Yao had some ulterior motives, pouting, he has never been very enthusiastic about the affairs of the court, but he is quite optimistic about Brother Luo.
Qin Jinghao put the teacup in his hand on the table, and slowly walked to the window, there was a round moon hanging high in the sky outside the house, all the stars around him were eclipsed, through the faint moonlight, he could faintly see the small stream not far away, sparkling, flickering faintly.
He has always guarded the country's conquest and is not keen on the struggle between court politics, but it does not mean that he is ignorant of this matter, on the contrary, there may be no one in the entire court who understands it better than him.
Because I understand, I am bearish.
The same is true of his state of mind.
The next day, Luo Yunyao said goodbye to the two early, but fortunately she didn't see the delicate girl, otherwise her nose would have suffered again. After bidding farewell to the two, she hired a carriage with a few entanglements to get to the capital quickly, because there was not much time left before applying for the imperial examination.
A few days later, she rushed to the mansion of the exam site, but before noon, the officials were ready to pack up their things and leave.
Looking at Luo Yunyao, who came in the dust, the two officials smiled at each other, and then one of the officials said to Luo Yunyao, "The time to apply for the imperial examination is over, you can come back next year!" ”
After finally taking a breath, Luo Yunyao was caught off guard and heard this sentence again, and then saw the two officials in front of him, and was displeased, "I remember that the end of the exam should be this afternoon, right?" ”
Hearing that the person who came said the time accurately, the official's face was not good-looking, I originally thought that he was a stupid hat who didn't know the time, and wanted to knock him a sum of money for drinking, but I didn't expect that he was not only not interested, but also got into trouble with them.
"How?" A lean official glanced at her, clasped his two hands, his eyes were about to drift to the sky, and from time to time he gestured in his hands, "Are you on an errand or am I on an errand?" When will I be able to speak to you at the end of the hour? ”
Looking at the official errand's actions, Luo Yunyao understood, smiled bitterly and swept the last bit of silver in his pocket, took out all of them, and handed them to the lean official's hand, the look of displeasure just now was replaced by a flattering smile, "Official, you see that I am a foreigner, it is not easy to come to the capital, you can do it, be accommodating!" ”
The official saw that he was not dressed like a poor man, but he didn't expect to find so many children on his body, and the two looked at each other again and exchanged meanings.
Then the lean official shook the few pennies in his hand, stared at Luo Yunyao up and down with scrutinizing eyes, and said mockingly, "Yo! It's just a few children, when you are an official, my name is Hanako! ”
"Dingding......
A few coins were thrown to the ground, and there was a crisp sound of collision, scattered at Luo Yunyao's feet, and some of them rolled into the distance, and a few nearby Huazi immediately rushed over to strengthen the pennies, and fought for it.
In the chaos, Luo Yunyao seemed to see the appearance of the people fleeing in chaos when the city was broken, and they were also fighting for a little food and a little money, and even those who were red-eyed didn't even care about their relatives.
Luo Yunyao silently clenched her fists and raised her head, her eyes were full of anger, and the sparks in her eyes seemed to burn people alive.
Those two people are also the masters who eat soft and fear hard, Luo Yunyao was easy to bully before, and they were justified in blackmailing, but now he is angry, the two of them are not easy to do, and the other slightly stronger official is bolder, thinking that no matter how he is a weak scholar, what can he do with them, if he thinks about it, he is also bold, and pulled out half of the big knife in his hand, "If you have money, let you sign up, if you don't have money, get out quickly, don't block grandpa's way, be careful......"
"I don't know that there are still people under the subordinates of the Ministry of Shangshu who dare to extort so blatantly, this method is even more justified than that of robbers! Uncle Zhong, don't you say? ”
A hearty male voice suddenly sounded behind him, interrupting the official's next words. Luo Yunyao was attracted by the words, and saw a master and a servant coming from far and near, the man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed richly, and at first glance he was the son of everyone, coupled with a bit of the unique bookish atmosphere of a scholar, it was very Luo Yunyao's eyes.
The anger in her heart also dropped unconsciously, and she secretly said that she was overly emotional just now, and she was stimulated by their actions and lost her mind.
"That's what Childe said!"
Hearing Childe's question, the middle-aged man known as Uncle Zhong gave an affirmative answer.
The two of them came talking one by one, and the sturdy official had signs of anger, but he was quickly pulled behind by the lean official and whispered, "You don't want to die, that's the son of the Hubu Shangshu family, you dare to use a knife against him?" ”
"The son of the Tobe Shangshu family?"
The sturdy official was taken aback, and hurriedly put away the half-open blade in his hand, and retreated behind the lean official, but he didn't dare to speak.
Their conversation, Luo Yunyao was close enough to hear it, and for the son of the Shangshu family in front of him, he looked like an out-and-out upright gentleman, so he sorted out his mood and started a leisurely mood to see how the official family dealt with this matter.
Although Du Yunsheng is the son of the Hubu Shangshu, he has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and he has learned the way of a righteous person, so he has never relied on his father's power in the court to obtain an official position, but hopes to stand out from the imperial examination through his own efforts, so that he can participate in this imperial examination.
Pacing next to the two officials, Du Yansheng wrinkled his brows and asked the strong officials, "Just now you said that you have to pay money to sign up?" ”
Where does the official dare to respond, this kind of nonsense is still useful for an ignorant scholar, in the face of this Du Gongzi, where does he dare to speak, weigh it again and again, he quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake, kowtowed, and spoke honestly and fearfully, "Childe spare your life, Childe spare your life!" Touching Luo Yunyao, who was watching the show beside him, he hurriedly said, "At first, it was just a subordinate who was joking with that son, so it shouldn't be true!" ”
Seeing that Du Yansheng didn't react, he quickly stood up again, and went to Luo Yunyao with the lean official to apologize, "This son, we were just joking just now, and please don't mind, we will sign you up." ”
