On the second day, Yang Zheng, the magistrate of the county, held a banquet to entertain the candidates who passed the county examination according to the usual practice.

In addition to Lord Xuezheng Lu, there was also the chief bookkeeper Chen Rui.

At the banquet, 120 admitted candidates toasted Yang Zheng together and thanked Yang Zheng for his kindness.

In addition to congratulating the candidates, Yang Zheng also encouraged the candidates to make persistent efforts to strive for more people to pass the government examination next month and win glory for Qiantang County.

At the banquet, Xu Xian, as the head of the county trial, received special courtesy, in addition to being arranged to sit in the front row, Yang Zheng, Chen Rui and Xuezheng Lu all kindly encouraged Xu Xian alone.

The other candidates looked at each other with envy in their eyes, but almost no jealousy.

When the strength is equal, some people will go crazy with jealousy, but when the strength is more than one notch, then there is only sincere admiration and admiration.

Xu Xian's identity and talent are there, and becoming the head of the county examination can be said to be expected, and the candidates present all recognize that Xu Xian deserves the extra courtesy of the three adults.

After the banquet was over, the next morning, Xu Xian set off for Muyang Academy.

The government examination is on 25 April, and there are more than 40 days left, and this period is very crucial, and we must not relax, and we must seize the time to prepare for the exam.

Xu Xian arrived at Muyang Academy in a carriage, and when he pushed open the door of his dormitory with simple luggage, he was stunned.

I saw that the bed on the opposite side was empty, and the curtains that I usually hung on were gone.

"Tang, Tang Rong......" his voice shouted a little tremblingly, and the scene of meeting Tang Wanrong the day before yesterday suddenly came to mind.

At that time, she told him that she was going home, but he didn't care, thinking that it was just a normal trip home.

I didn't expect it to be a parting, maybe even a farewell.

Unspeakable remorse welled up uncontrollably.

No! No! How can you leave quietly before you say goodbye?!

He yelled in his heart, and immediately turned around and rushed towards the academy office like crazy.

In the academy office, Xu Xian found Zhao Wenyuan.

"Hehe, Hanwen, you're back." Zhao Wenyuan saw Xu Xian and took the initiative to shout amiably.

Xu Xian regained some composure, respectfully greeted Zhao Wenyuan, and then asked, "Mr. Zhao, where did Tang Rong go?" ”

"Tang Rong? He dropped out of school and went home. Zhao Wenyuan said, "It's a pity, this kid has a good aura, if he studies for another year, he still has a good chance of passing the county exam next year." ”

Xu Xian asked, "Do you know where her family lives?" ”

"I don't know, I only know that his home is in Lin'an City." Zhao Wenyuan shook his head and said, "He didn't enter the academy through my hands, but through your teacher Zhang Gong. ”

After bidding farewell to Zhao Wenyuan, Xu Xian went to find Zhang Jingming, but Zhang Jingming was in class. Xu Xian had no choice but to endure it and wait until the afternoon to ask Zhang Jingming.

So, he put away his luggage and brought his books into the first-class classroom.

Sitting down in his seat, Xu Xian subconsciously turned his head to look at the empty table, the books, pen and inkstone papers were all gone, and the faint fragrance that wafted into his nose from time to time at that time.

He was so distracted that Zhang Jingming didn't know what he said on it.

Zhang Jingming lectured for a period of time, and let the students rest and relax halfway.

Zhang Jingming walked out of the classroom, and almost all the students wanted Xu Xian to come over, and congratulated Xu Xian with a smile on winning the first place in the county test.

Xu Xian responded to the congratulations of his classmates with a smile on his face, but there was no joy in his heart, and Tang Wanrong's voice and smile were all in his mind.

In the afternoon, Xu Xian was finally able to meet Zhang Jingming alone.

In Zhang Jingming's courtyard, after Xu Xian saluted respectfully, Zhang Jingming encouraged Xu Xian and reminded Xu Xian not to be complacent, even if he successfully passed the Xiucai or even Jinshi, he still needed to maintain a sincere and sincere heart to study.

"Students remember the teachings." Xu Xian replied.

Then, he asked: "Teacher, Tang Rong, who was at the same table as the student, suddenly dropped out of school, and the student didn't have time to say goodbye to her, and I was very sorry in my heart. Implore the teacher to inform the student of the address of Tang Rong's home. ”

Zhang Jingming didn't answer immediately, and looked at Xu Xian with a wise and far-reaching gaze. Xu Xian was under Zhang Jingming's gaze, and lowered his head slightly with some weakness.

"When you pass the college exam, I'll tell you as a teacher." Zhang Jingming finally said slowly, "During this time, you can't think nonsense, the exam is important. Got it? ”

"Yes, students will live up to the expectations of their teachers." Xu Xian had no choice but to reply respectfully.

He guessed in his heart that Zhang Jingming must have known that Tang Wanrong was his daughter, and most likely saw that he had discovered Tang Wanrong's daughter. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Zhang Jingming should have directly told him Tang Wanrong's home address.

Walking out of Zhang Jingming's courtyard, Xu Xian let out a long breath of turbidity, and decided to listen to Zhang Jingming's admonition, temporarily suppress his regret for Tang Wanrong to the bottom of his heart, and concentrate on preparing for the exam.

In the following days, Xu Xian forgot to sleep and eat to prepare for the exam, and unknowingly arrived on March 3, the Qingming Festival.

Qingming Festival, sweeping the tomb to worship the ancestors, Confucianism has always attached importance to etiquette and filial piety, so Muyang Academy carried out a rest, and it was three days.

The day before the Qingming holiday, Xu Xiancai suddenly realized that it was March 3, the day when he and the White Lady met for a thousand years.

"If it is really a thousand years of creation, you and I will meet in the future."

On the eve of Qingming Festival, Xu Xian stood in front of the bedroom window, looking at the fluttering rain outside the window, and his mood was very complicated.

At the moment when he crossed over and became Xu Xian, he was extremely looking forward to the day when they met at West Lake, but now that it was coming, he wanted to retreat a little.

Very contradictory and strange psychology.

"If, I don't go to West Lake tomorrow, I will go to Tang Wanrong instead......" A thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly shook his head and shook it off.

At this moment, in the Qiu Wang's Mansion, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were sitting in a pavilion, feeling the cold breeze and rain outside the pavilion.

Bai Suzhen is wearing a long white dress, with a white light veil behind her dark cloud bun, the whole person is beautiful, her eyes are sparkling, colorful, and the narrow corners of her eyes are charming and charming, but she does not lose the slightest dignified and graceful.

Xiaoqing is dressed in a cyan maid costume, but it is difficult to hide her natural beauty, with a slender figure, smart eyes, and a beautiful and moving body.

"March 3 is Qingming, and it rains a lot during Qingming. If you have a chance to meet thousands of miles away, you must go to the West Lake. Bai Suzhen repeated the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva to her that day, her good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she sighed lightly, "There are so many tourists on the edge of the West Lake, and it is only one day, how can I find a benefactor?" ”

Xiaoqing comforted: "Sister, you can rest assured. Guanyin Bodhisattva has great magical powers, and she is clever, since she asked you to look for it in the West Lake on the day of Qingming, she will definitely be able to find your Ruyi Langjun......"

"Xiaoqing, you're looking for a fight!" Bai Suzhen raised her white jade hand to make a beating gesture.

Xiaoqing raised her hand and said with a smile: "I was wrong, I am your benefactor." Hee-hee......"

Bai Suzhen withdrew her jade hand and said to Xiaoqing that she was not allowed to mess around, and then a faint cloud of sorrow continued to climb up her brows.

She simply had no means to determine who was her benefactor from a thousand years ago.

Looking back at a person's past and present lives, especially for a thousand years, a total of more than ten lifetimes of reincarnation, it requires great mana and great supernatural powers, how can she do it with a thousand-year-old snake spirit who has not yet achieved complete merit and transcendence?

Xiaoqing's eyes rolled, and she smiled coquettishly: "Sister, I understand!" ”

"Understand what?" Bai Suzhen hurriedly asked.

"Didn't Guanyin Bodhisattva say, 'There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away'?" Xiaoqing smiled, "I guess Guanyin Bodhisattva means that tomorrow you meet someone you like in West Lake, and he is your thousand-year-old benefactor." Because I like it, I have a fate, isn't it? ”
