"Because I have a reason why I can't show up. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Xi'er replied very simply: "And aren't you unscathed now." ”

Lin Qingyuan said very depressedly: "That's my fate, if it weren't for my anxious thinking of Xie Bing, I would have died without a place to bury at that time!" ”

Li Xi'er smiled: "That's fine, who let you meddle in your affairs and suffer a little to have a better memory." ”

Standing and talking without backache, Lin Qingyuan glanced at Li Xi'er with disdain, and then walked towards the bed again. "What are you doing? I said but this bed is mine, you go on a stool! Li Xi'er thought that this thing would not change.

Lin Qingyuan pulled his mouth angrily: "Don't think too much." Pointing to his red and swollen neck, he said: "My neck still hurts now, and if I don't apply some medicine, it will be as thick as a pillar tomorrow!" ”

Li Xi'er looked at his neck, hesitated and said, "Does it matter?" Lin Qingyuan said indifferently: "Don't worry, you can't die!" He picked up the first aid kit on the bed, found anti-inflammatory drugs and gauze in it, turned back to Li Xi'er and said, "Help me take medicine, I can't reach it." ”

Li Xi'er was speechless for a while, it wasn't a back injury, what could not be reached? She didn't pay attention to Lin Qingyuan at all, got up and sat on the stool again, looking at him indifferently.

Lin Qingyuan had no choice but to do it himself.

He asked while taking the medicine, "Do you know Xie Bing?" Li Xi'er nodded and said, "Yes, but I'm not very familiar with it." ”

"Then, what about Bai Ning?"

"There was a one-time acquaintance."

"Then which of the two of you has more martial arts?" Lin Qingyuan looked at Li Xi'er expectantly and asked. Li Xi'er glanced at Lin Qingyuan: "You don't want me to avenge you, do you?" ”

Lin Qingyuan smiled and said, "No, I just thought that if he wants to attack me, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to resist." ”

"I am not much different from Bai Ning's martial arts, and I am even higher than him in terms of light skills, so it will be easy to take you to escape." Li Xi'er replied.

Now Lin Qingyuan is relieved, with a backup like Li Xi'er, even if he and Bai Ning fight, the situation will not be too passive.

Li Xi'er probably guessed what he was thinking, and said: "I advise you not to get along with him, he is the son of Bai Yuetang, the commander of Jinling, and fighting with him now is like hitting a stone with an egg." ”

Lin Qingyuan stared at Li Xi'er: "Who are you, how do you know so much?" ”

"Secret."

The cicadas outside the window kept ringing, which was especially beautiful under the empty night sky. Lin Qingyuan stood in front of the window, his mind swirling with the words Li Xi'er said before leaving, and his brows were locked and he fell into deep thought.

The first rays of the morning sun are bright and bright, and today is destined to be a good day. Song Qing knocked on Lin Qingyuan's door: "Brother Qingyuan, you are lazy again!" Hurry up, we're going to Lin Mansion! ”

Lin Qingyuan stretched his waist and began to get up and dress. After cleaning up, the two drank two bowls of porridge downstairs and set off towards the Lin Mansion together.

The crowd in front of the Lin Mansion was bustling, and the poor people were dressed simply, all of them were waiting in line to distribute the righteous food.

Lin Qingyuan thought that Song Qing had suffered like them in the past, and his heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable, so he held Song Qing's little hand and said firmly: "Qing'er, we won't go to receive the righteous food, I will go to the election family in a while, so that you and the old man can live a good life!" ”

Song Qing was a little caught off guard by Lin Qingyuan's change, especially when he held his hand, he couldn't help but blush again.

Song Qing said worriedly: "But, Lin family,"

"Don't you know my ability, no problem, don't worry!" Lin Qingyuan looked at Song Qing with a smile and said confidently. Song Qing, as always, decided to believe Lin Qingyuan, and nodded with a smile.

The gate of the Lin Mansion opened, and a group of family members carried white rice and white flour bags on the ground. Then a shadow came out of it, Lin Qingyuan's eyes were certain, and when he saw it clearly, he was suddenly surprised, wasn't that the girl in the carriage last night? Wait, Bai Ning called her Miss Lin, right? She is the eldest lady of the Lin family, Lin Wantong!

Lin Qingyuan once heard the old man Song mention that Lin Wantong studied business since she was a child, and when she grew up, she followed her father to go to sea to do business. After the death of his father, those who did business with Lin Dahu fell into the ground, and the Lin family began to decline, but Lin Wantong relied on her own ability to support the Lin family from bankruptcy, and has always adhered to the tradition of opening warehouses and releasing grain, which is deeply admired by the people!

Lin Wantong nodded to the maids behind her, who understood and came to the poor people, put the white rice and white noodles in spoons, and distributed them equally to everyone. After the people got the food, they said "thank you" to Lin Wantong, Lin Wantong smiled and nodded, and then they left.

Gradually, the poor people received food and left one after another, and there were some strong men left in front of the Lin Mansion, and Lin Qingyuan guessed that there should be a selection of family members below.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion walked out, glanced at the people below, and said: "The next step is the selection of the Lin Mansion's family, a total of three rounds, respectively, to test your knowledge, physical strength, and ability to deal with changes, and finally select five outstanding people." ”

The people below listened to a man who stretched out his arms and kicked his legs, and he was eager to try. Lin Qingyuan smiled bitterly, this, the third round is not very difficult, but he is a little powerless for the second round of physical strength test, looking at the muscular strong men around him, this thing has a chill.

Auditions begin!

In the first round of the literary examination, Lin Qingyuan and the two candidates walked into the examination room and came to the examiner, who was an old man who looked to be at least seventy years old. The old man glanced at the three of them and said, "This round of the examination exam, may I ask, if you walk on the street and see one tael of silver and five taels of silver in the place, which one do you pick?" ”

Ga? Brain teasers?

Lin Qingyuan's jaw almost didn't fall off after listening to it, this is the legendary literary exam? I'm still worried about the calligraphy I'm not good at, old man, you're here to be funny!

One of them hurriedly replied, "Five taels!" The other had a brain, and thought that it couldn't be so easy, so he replied, "I'll pick one or two!" ”

The examiner glanced at Lin Qingyuan and asked, "What about you?" ”

Lin Qingyuan smiled proudly and said to the two of them: "You two stupid, of course you picked up both of them when you picked up the money!" Who cares which one has more and which one has less!? ”

The old man showed an admiring expression on his face and said, "Zero advances to the next round, and the two of you are eliminated." "Zero refers to Lin Qingyuan's grade, and the examiner's words represent Lin Qingyuan's promotion!

The two eliminated were asked out of the room in disgrace, and both regretted why they didn't choose to pick up all the money at that time.

The second round of physical strength test.

When Lin Qingyuan came to the courtyard, he saw that there were already several strong men carrying huge stone plates and transporting them to the ground ten meters away.

Lin Qingyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked the examiner beside him: "That, can I abstain?" ”

The examiner said expressionlessly, "No! ”

Lin Qingyuan's heart was like a knife, he looked at the sky in despair, and said in his heart: My life is over!

"Hello Miss!" Everyone stopped their work at once and said hello to Lin Wantong, who came to check the situation.

Lin Wantong said with a pleasant face: "You have all worked hard, I will give you a day off after today's selection, and go home to visit your family!" The family and maid of the Lin Mansion were all excited, and said together: "Thank you, Miss!" ”

Lin Wantong nodded, turned around and was about to leave, Lin Qingyuan saw that the opportunity could not be lost, and just wanted to call Miss Lin, but was preempted by the crisp voice outside the door: "Sister Wantong, little sister has come to see you!" ”
