Xiao Mu knew that Lin Ye had completely regained his previous combat strength at this moment, and it was impossible to suppress her today, so he could only accept it when he saw it, and decided not to continue to talk nonsense with Lin Ye on this issue. www.biquge.info In fact, after Lin Yi suddenly discovered that Xie Lianhui seemed to be a very suitable candidate, Xiao Mu had already had the upper hand a bit.

"I woke up too early this morning, and now I'm feeling a little sleepy after eating, so I'm going to go sleep first." In order to avoid Lin Yi thinking that one thing is one play, and really had the absurd idea of sending Xie Lianhui to Xu Guangqi's house for cultivation, Xiao Mu quickly diverted the topic, threw the chopsticks on the table, yawned and said, "Anyway, you are also a pregnant person now, in line with the attitude of being responsible for the Empress Zhou of the original historical Chongzhen Emperor, and for the sake of your body in the future career of a traverser, I think you should also go and take a nap first." ”

- At this time, Xiao Mu felt that Lin Ye was just using Xie Lianhui to quarrel with him, and he should not really take action for the time being. Lin Yi didn't take it seriously, he just used it to ridicule each other in a hurry, but when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, this matter didn't seem to be completely impossible, so at this moment, Lin Ye's heart was actually a little active.

"I'm not like you, I know how to sleep except for eating all day!" Of course, Lin Yi would not obediently obey Xiao Mu's arrangement, but after thinking about it, he also felt that he still needed to take a nap, so he stopped talking to Xiao Mu and got up and went back to his dormitory.

After eating a lunch for half an hour, noon was about to pass, Xiao Mu also decided to grab the tail of noon and quickly get a good night's sleep - although he knew that it must have been afternoon when he woke up, maybe it was possible directly in the evening, but from now on, it can barely be regarded as a "nap", right?

……

Xiao Mu went to take a nap here, and outside Beijing at this time, there were two scholars who had entered Beijing to take the exam-both of them were probably middle-aged, and they looked somewhat similar, obviously a pair of brothers.

Although it is still very early from the time of the examination, in fact, there are already a lot of scholars who have rushed to Beijing to prepare for the exam, and in the Ming Dynasty, it is not uncommon to come to Beijing to prepare for a year and a half in advance. After all, he is a scholar, and after arriving in the capital, of course, he will inevitably visit some famous places and make two poems that sing about the present and the past; Or visit the seniors in Beijing to talk about the friendship of the year; Or go to the brothel in Beijing to drink and write poems, and show off your talents...... Of course, it takes a lot of time to do all kinds of things like this, so it is said that you have to prepare for the exam in advance, but there is not necessarily much time for reading books, and in terms of the effect of reading itself, I am afraid that it will be discounted compared with in your hometown.

And come to the capital in advance can also have more opportunities to make some friends, after all, the capital brings together elites from all over the world, everyone in the future is not good is to be an official of the same dynasty, make friends with each other in advance, and participate in some cultural salon activities such as poetry meetings, which enhances their reputation in Shilin at the same time, and has a lot of benefits for future development.

Of course, these are all on the surface, and there are some things that cannot be said explicitly. For example, only by coming to the capital early can you have time to find a good way to inquire about the examiner's personality habits, and if you are lucky, you can buy two exam questions from that year. No matter how bad it is, you have to inquire about what the saint and the examiner and others don't like, so as not to make taboos during the exam.

The two brothers stopped under a large tree not far from the city gate and rested in the shade of the tree.

"Brother, drink some water and rest." One of the two, who looked a little younger, took out a water bladder from his bag, handed it to the older man, and said, "I thought we wouldn't be able to reach the capital until evening, but it turned out that we had arrived in the afternoon, so we didn't need to rush into the city for a while." ”

"Yes, that's fine, we can settle down this afternoon, lest you and I arrive in the evening, and it will be difficult to find a place to stay for a while." The older one took a sip and handed the bladder back to the younger one. At the same time replied.

"My brother is right, find a good place to live early today, rest at night, and concentrate on studying tomorrow." The young scholar took his brother's water bladder and wiped his sweat and said, "I just didn't expect that the capital is located in the northern country, and it is so hot, compared with the hometown, it is not inferior at all, and compared with the hometown in Jiangxi, the climate in the capital is really very dry." ”

"God bless me Daming, it is said that this year in the northern provinces are all drought, many states and counties have confirmed that the harvest will be lost, to the next year's green and yellow harvest, I am afraid it will be a scene of starvation everywhere." The elder said with a frown on his face, worried about Da Ming's future.

The young one listened to his brother's words, and hurriedly comforted him: "Fortunately, today's son is very virtuous, and as soon as he took the throne, he got rid of Wei Zhongxian's party, and all the righteous people in the world were excited. Now that Ming Jun is in power, I think that I will definitely be able to survive this hurdle. ”

"Brother Xian is reasonable, calculate the time, you and I have participated in the examination for the first time in the forty-seventh year of Wanli to now, nearly ten years have passed, and the current Ming Jun is in power, it is the time for me to show my talents, this time the examination must be nominated on the list, and it will be good to worry about you in the future!" The older listened to his younger brother's consolation, regained his optimistic attitude about the future of Daming, and was full of confidence in the examination he was going to participate in this time, as if he had found the heroic mood when he entered Beijing for the first time when he was young.

"What my brother said is exactly what he said, this time he will try to enter Beijing, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent! If I still lose my name to Sun Shan, I will completely break my mind about the imperial examination. The young man replied, packing up his water bladder.

"Brother Xian will definitely be able to go to high school this time, don't think about it again." The elder said, "It's almost time to rest, so let's hurry into the city and find a place to stay while it's still early!"

With that, the two of them carefully tidied up their clothes, and then walked towards the city gate with a solemn and sacred attitude—this capital carried too many expectations of the two brothers

……

However, it is a pity that in the original history, the two brothers also failed to participate in the examination in Beijing this time, and as the younger brother said, the two broke off the idea of the imperial examination after this defeat.
