Chapter 6 Suddenly like a spring breeze in the night
The content on the exam paper is very miscellaneous, Confucian classics, the art of war, and national policy. Even medicine and agriculture and animal husbandry are involved. Even Li Fu stopped writing from time to time and thought carefully.
I don't know how long later, a bell rang, and the incense inserted next to the examination room was burned. It represents the end of this round of preliminary examinations. Li Fu walked out of Dali Temple with other students who could take the exam. According to the guidance of the student supervisor, he came to the square in front of Dali Temple and waited for the subsequent release of the list.
Most of the candidates in the square gathered in twos and threes, facing each other's answers on the exam papers. Or beat your chest and blame yourself for answering the wrong answer. Most people's eyes were filled with a hint of confusion, and from time to time there were a few voices denouncing the difficulty of the test questions.
Li Fu searched in the crowd for a long time, but he didn't see Yang Zixu, I don't know if he was still in Dali Temple and didn't come out, or he was mixed in which corner.
"What are you looking for? Girl? A lazy voice came from behind him.
Li Fu turned his head to look, and Yang Zixu's handsome face was clearly imprinted in his eyes. However, his eyes are a little peachy....
Li Fu subconsciously took a step back, Yang Zixu's eyes were too ......
"What do you mean by this~? Why are you so far away from me? Yang Zixu was stunned and puzzled.
"What else do you have in your mind besides the girl? Anyway, you are also the only son of the Tianyu Divine General's Mansion. Li Fu pursed his lips and smiled.
"You kid is scolding me?" Yang Zixu's eyes were a little unkind, and then said: "Okay, you ungrateful Li Fu, I just took you to have fun last night, but I didn't expect you kid to forget it now, dare to scold me....look for a fight~"
Yang Zixu said as he chased after Li Fu.
"You mean the big black dog last night? It was a lot of fun, I'll remember it..."
"I'm okay and don't mention it!"
The two teenagers were playing in the square of Dali Temple, not worried about the results of this preliminary examination. …..
In a restaurant not far from Dali Temple, Li Fu and Yang Zixu sat by the window. Looking at the students taking the exam in the square not far away.
This restaurant is located on Chengtian Road, with Dali Temple to the east and Shangshu Province to the west, which not only takes in the small part of the inner city, but also the view of the royal gardens in the distance. Of course, the cost here is also extremely high, just a pot of tea, a few plates of small samples, has reached three taels of silver.
"How many questions did you get right?"
Yang Zixu asked. He was a little interested in the answer. Li Funeng found from the clues before and after the victory in the northwest that the Shence Mansion had the intention of "nourishing war with war", which shows that this person's insight is not ordinary. It is far stronger than the students of the Holy Academies in the Eastern Capital.
"There are a few questions that I can't answer correctly. For example, of the five treatises in the "National Policy", I only wrote three treatises. As far as I have learned, the book "National Policy" has been seriously lost, and there is no record in the literature of the past 100 years. However, there are two books in the literature of the previous dynasty that recorded some words about the "National Policy", but there was no specific mention of the "National Policy". This makes me wonder. The book I read did not contain five treatises on "National Policy", only two or three of which were recorded. Li Fu knocked the melon seeds in his hand and did not hide Yang Zixu. Say it truthfully.
"You...... You....have you read "National Policy"?! Yang Zixu heard that something was wrong, and he was so excited that he almost knocked over the right plate of pastries on the table. Listening to this guy's tone, he seems to have read the book "National Policy"? How is this possible!
"Huh? Is there something wrong? The book I read is only half a volume, is there anything strange about it? It stands to reason that you should have more contact with Dongdu than me. Li Fu glanced at Yang Zixu, this guy was really too surprised.
"Are you sure you're reading the National Policy?" Yang Zixu leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"The master said that the book is even "National Policy", and before leaving, he asked me to bring it to the Eastern Capital, what's wrong with you?" Li Fu frowned slightly, only to realize that Yang Zixu's expression was not joking with himself.
"Shhh~! Be quiet, I'll talk about this later. Yang Zixu looked around the restaurant, because of this test, the restaurant was full of people, including many big people in the mansions of the major nobles in the Eastern Capital.
"What about the others?" Yang Zixu was silent for a moment, and saw that no one turned his gaze to them before he spoke.
"Basically, they all have been answered, except for the question of the Mixed Yuan Yin Fu Sutra in "Daozang". There are three versions of this. One is the original, the original fragment of the original record only a short eight white characters. The other is a version that has been tampered with by later generations, and the other is a version that was revised by Lord Toast four hundred years ago. However, most of the current version is used in the revised version of the toast. I didn't write down which version it was in the exam, so I wrote it all. Li Fu thought about it and returned truthfully.
When Yang Zixu heard this, he couldn't help but be silent for a while.
After half a cup of tea, he spoke: "I thought that those people in the Eastern Capital were perverted enough, but I didn't expect you to compare with those guys, you are more perverted than him!" ”
Li Fu was speechless for a while, thinking, where am I perverted, you are perverted.
…………………
Near the end of the evening, Dali Temple posted the list.
The above is the list of those who passed the preliminary examination, and as soon as this list was posted, many students in the Dali Temple Square rushed up, hoping that their names could be written on it, but more of them were wails and sighs.
There are too many people who fall off the list, in previous years, the Lantern Festival will generally brush down six or seven percent of the number of people in the first test, but this year, it has been brushed down as many as eighty and a half!
The guy from the restaurant trotted all the way upstairs and whispered in Yang Zixu's ear for a moment, Yang Zixu nodded and said to the guy: "Okay, I know." Go down and get the prize. ”
"Thank you, Yang Shizi!" The young man laughed when he heard this.
"Both of our names are on the list, so you don't have to look at them." Yang Zi held the pastry in his hand comfortably, looked up and said to Li Fu.
Although the system of the Lantern Festival test is strict, some trivial things do not need to be done by yourself. For example, in the matter of watching the list, the aristocratic princes of the Eastern Capital will have their own subordinates to pass the news in the list to the scholars in the palace. It also saves a little trouble.
"Then tomorrow's exam, do you plan to take one or both exams?" Li Fu asked.
"I don't want to participate in the literary exam, it's too boring, but it's still interesting. What about you? Yang Zixu replied.
"I'm going to take both." Li Fu thought about it and decided to participate in both doors according to the master's wishes.
"It's not an exaggeration to say you're a pervert. Everyone participates in one subject and gives up the other, and a pervert like you will spend so much energy to take two exams. Yang Zixu slowly glanced at Li Fu. And then he said
"The literary test is very draining, and the afternoon is the martial arts test. When the time comes, I'll see how you cope. ”
"It's okay, it doesn't matter." Li Fu smiled and thought about his days in Daoxiang Village, where he had to read the classics full of books in the morning and practice with his master in the afternoon. From time to time, I have to be thrown into the mountain stream by the master from the quilt to experience a different "night". Now think about Li Fu's cold hair, compared with the Lantern Festival test, Li Fu is willing to choose the civil and military double test.
"Then go back, I'm going to take a good nap tomorrow, it seems that I have to get up early tomorrow morning." Yang Zixu wiped the grease in his hands and got up.
"Go back? Shouldn't you go to Dali Temple to fill in the list of tomorrow's exams? Li Fu asked.
"No need, I'll just let someone do it later. Oh yes, the blade you want to carry in the martial arts test tomorrow must be handed over to Dali Temple for safekeeping, and you can get it before the competition. I'll have someone go to the inn and get it later. Yang Zixu thought about it carefully and made sure that there was nothing missing.
Through the window of the restaurant, you can see that there is a bustling queue in front of Dali Temple. This is the list of people who are registering for tomorrow's final examination. In the square, most of the unsuccessful students have not dispersed, and it is difficult to accept this result for a while.
Not only is the battlefield ruthless, but the road to career is also as cruel.
………………..
The road back was not as smooth as it had been. I don't know what happened. Chang'an Avenue was unusually crowded, and many horse-drawn carriages with state and county logos stopped on one side like a long line. The carriage is not a ride-style, the back row is open, and large mahogany boxes are exposed in the carriage. It's like giving a gift to a mansion in the Eastern Capital. Yang Zixu opened the curtain and glanced at it, and looked in the direction of the head of the carriage, it was a crimson mansion, and many dragon guards outside the mansion were maintaining order.
"Isn't it just that I gave birth to a son, is it necessary to be so public...."Yang Zixu lowered the curtain and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
Li Fu also looked outside curiously, the front of the heavy mansion was crowded with people who went to give gifts, and it was not lively.
Suddenly, a turquoise figure appeared in front of Li Fu's eyes on the street, the woman's bright eyes were clear and clear, as bright as stars, and Li Fu was stunned for a while. The girl saw Li Fu looking at herself, and smiled at Li Fu, her eyes curved like crescent moons. With a smile, it seems that the spiritual rhyme has also overflowed, and people have to marvel at her elegant and delicate light.
She has long fine black hair that is long and draped over her shoulders, slightly feminine. Sometimes the long hair is counted loosely. It shows a different kind of style. Small red lips echo the wheat-colored face, and a pair of small dimples are evenly distributed at both ends of the face. A shallow smile is even more distinct, and the dimples loom on the cheeks, as cute as a fairy.
"Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom"
Li Fu said stupidly.
