Chapter Ninety-One: Dengke and the First
"Childe, why don't you go and take a look?"
Pacing back and forth in the courtyard, the little girl Wu Shuang'er finally couldn't help it, put down the hand she was holding, turned her head and said to Liu Xi, who was playing chess with Lin Yi. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
After waiting for a long time, the imperial court finally released the list, and the entire Jialing City was crowded with people, and the noise was boiling, but Liu Xi seemed to have become a bystander, leisurely, and never seemed to take the scientific examination to heart.
"You can rest assured, if you win, you will have someone to report the good news, although you will prepare the good news first."
The gourd in his hand was raised, and Ma Xiu poured a sip of wine, and I don't know when it began, this guy liked to use the gourd to serve wine, and it was a pot of wine and a thin fan on weekdays.
Glancing at Ma Xiu, Wu Shuang'er took out a purse from the goose yellow short jacket, "Needless to say, the son must be the winner, and Shuang'er has already prepared the happy money." ”
As he spoke, seeing that Liu Xi and the others were still smiling and showed no signs of getting up, he immediately stomped his feet and pouted, "Since you all don't want to go out of the yard, then I'll take a look for myself." ”
"The girl is in a hurry, the slave family will go with you."
Covering her mouth and smiling, Qin still said softly, while Tian Xun'er, who was sitting quietly and watching chess, also got up, so the little girl had a companion, and she happily pulled the second daughter and trotted out, and Qu Lang, who had nothing to do, naturally followed behind and protected her.
"Brother, why is Senior Sister Tian interested again?"
Xiao Wu, who was drinking wine with Ma Xiu, put down the cup and looked at Dawu with some puzzlement, the latter glanced at him for a sound that made Xiao Wu even more incomprehensible, this situation made Ma Xiu laugh out loud, shook the wine gourd in his hand and said, "Miss Tian is not interested here, what Yusheng said earlier is extremely appropriate to use here, the drunkard's intention is not to drink, haha......"
The laughter made Liu Xi's hand, which was about to fall, pause in mid-air for a moment, and then coughed awkwardly a few times under Lin Yi's slightly ambiguous smile, and then put the chess piece down.
"Yusheng, a beautiful talent, but also makes."
After a long time, Lin Yi couldn't help but joke about Liu Xi, although Tian Xun'er said that she had the defect of being unable to speak, but Lin Yi, who was not very human, would look down on people because of this. After getting along these days, he thinks that she is gentle and lovely, and when she raises her hand, she shows everyone's beautiful demeanor, which is a rare good match.
Lin Yi's words came out of his mouth, and laughter came from not far away, this time even Dawu, who was not smiling, rarely showed a smile, and Xiao Wu, who had a lively temperament, even talked nonsense and coaxed.
"Ahem......"
There was another cough, Liu Xi looked at everyone with a little annoyance, "My brother said some jokes, but don't let Miss Xun'er know, let alone spread it, otherwise how can it ruin the reputation of the girl's family?" ”
I don't know if he really doesn't understand, or pretending to be confused, Ma Xiu and the others smiled again, and then revealed the matter, Lin Yi is left behind, "Today's list, Yusheng doesn't care at all?" ”
Throwing down a chess piece and resolving Lin Yi's killing machine, Liu Xi smacked his lips and responded, "If you care, it's chaotic, since it's all settled, thinking more about it will only add to your troubles, it's mine, how can others take it?" ”
"Really? Yusheng, I didn't expect you to become duplicitous, you lost this game of chess. ”
Lin Yi smiled and said lightly, since yesterday, Liu Xi has been playing chess step by step as before, hiding opportunities, and he didn't even find out the game he gave up, if he said that he had nothing in his heart, how could he do this?
Knowing that his mind was seen through, Liu Xi smiled nondemitently, and at this moment, the gongs, drums, and suona sounded in unison in the distance, and the sound was not lively.
Picking up the chess pieces on the chess game into the wooden box, Lin Yi said again, "Yusheng, your mind is not here, and it is boring to play chess, so it is better to change your clothes and wait for the person who announces the good news to come." ”
Ignoring this joke, Liu Xi also picked up the sunspot together, "Why do you need to change your clothes, my line is enough." ”
"Childe is in!"
The two were talking and laughing, but they heard Wu Shuang'er's joyful voice, and their bodies flew into the courtyard like a happy yellow bird, pulling Liu Xi's sleeve and chattering, "Childe, you are in the first class of the Shike, hurry, hurry up, the person who announces the good news will arrive soon!" ”
Hearing this, although expected, Ma Xiu, Lin Yi and others all said hello to Liu Xi, "Congratulations, Yusheng!" ”
nodded as usual, but Liu Xi's heart was happy, the hard work of many days was finally not in vain, and the first step of the revenge plan was about to be realized.
The sound of gongs and drums got closer and closer, and after a while, I heard someone outside the courtyard shouting, "Congratulations to Master Liu of Xinyang, who is a high school jinshi!" ”
The voice of Cai Cai came into the courtyard, but it was already at the door of the house, Liu Xi didn't understand when he became a Xinyang person, maybe he had something to do with the king of Zhenxi. But that's it, if you get to the bottom of it, how could this Li Tang court let him step in.
The man in red and red walked in, saying flattering words, Wu Shuang'er, who was very happy, still cared about the silver at this time, so he naturally handed over the prepared silver, and the person who reported the good news secretly turned upside down, feeling the thick weight in the purse, and immediately said flattering words hard.
The children who were playing in the alley also followed, and Tian Xun'er and Qin still took out the pastries and candied fruits that had been prepared a long time ago and shared them with them, making the courtyard a little more lively.
"Master Liu......"
Perhaps Wu Shuang'er gave a lot of money, and the leader of the good news stepped forward and whispered, "The master is now a first-class person, and the future will definitely be smooth, not to mention that the rite test of the Holy Decree Rite Department is a palace test, which is a precedent in ancient and modern times." And it is said that just before the beginning of the year, you only need to enter the eyes of the saints, which can be described as a step to the sky, the reputation can be overpowered, and the glory is also inexhaustible. ”
Unexpectedly, the palace test?
Liu Xi was quite surprised, if this is the case, then the status of the champion of this department is extraordinary, and now he took the ingot silver and the person who reported the good news, and the latter said auspicious words with a smile.
After a long time of laughter, everyone dispersed, and the three daughters of Qin took out the celebration ingredients that had been bought in the boiling room a long time ago, and began to light a fire and cook a big meal.
Halfway through the meal, Zhang Xiaoquan's mother and son came to say goodbye, Zhang Hu went to the boiling room, and Zhang Xiaoquan put the several jars of wine brought by him at the feet of Ma Xiu and others, and stood beside Liu Xi by himself, laughing and listening to the gags of several people.
Before noon, the fragrance fills the courtyard, and slowly a table of dishes makes people look appetizing, even if it is a horse embroidery that has been depressed for many days, there are more laughing words, carrying a jar full of spring, shouting not drunk and no return.
The mud seal was opened, the wine was fragrant, and everyone was full, even Wu Shuang'er and other daughters poured a cup of green and crystal fruit juice, and raised their glasses and said, "Yusheng, come to Jinluan Hall to be the champion!" ”
Drinking all the wine in the cup, Liu Xi responded with a smile, "Let's see me cross the street with my hand!" ”
