On the second day of April in the fourth year of Chongzhen, this is the day when the apricot list will be posted.

Ning Daguan looked very leisurely, no matter what the result was, he still had to see Chongzhen, otherwise what to do with the next volume of that book, he thought clearly, if Chongzhen hadn't summoned him yet, then he would go to Xu Guangqi's door to meet Chongzhen.

He has a lot of resentment in his heart, and he has to say that it is really good to be the emperor, let him wait here for such a long time, if it weren't for waiting to meet Chongzhen, he would have returned to Jinling by now, maybe he would have lived with Li Jin is cave room now

In the shade of a tree in the courtyard, a man and a woman are sitting.

"Little man, the two Li Gongzi have gone out to see the list, you are really not in a hurry at all." Gu Hengbo leaned on Ning Zhiyuan's arm like this, and asked in a lazy voice, he was really a little curious about Ning Zhiyuan's current attitude, could it be that this little man was really not worried about the release of the list, so sure that he could win?

"What's in a hurry, I can't hit it anyway." Ning Daguan said vaguely, if the second trial judgment was not so absurd, according to Xu Guangqi's meaning, he must still be Huiyuan, which made him a little embarrassed, I don't know that Chongzhen valued him so much, and he actually personally helped him favoritism, as for now, it is really difficult to say, or it is impossible to say directly, and even Jinshi is hopeless.

Not to mention that there are many talents who really have ink in the examination, Zhou Yanru can't catch such an obvious pain in his feet, so he has been mixed up for so many years.

However, thinking that his level was normal, he should be able to participate in the palace examination, but this time he was hanging, and he was also a little unhappy, Gu Hengbo's weak and boneless little hand gently rubbed against his back from his neck, which made him feel a lot better.

"Can't win?" Gu Hengbo was puzzled, smiled very happily, and his narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed into a slit, "Then it just so happens that the little man doesn't have to participate in the palace test to stay in the capital, so he can take Mei'er to leave here earlier." His hands were still moving behind Ning Daguan's back.

"Mei'er doesn't like it here." The woman said in a coquettish voice.

She doesn't completely believe Ning Zhiyuan's current words, but she does think so in her heart, from the time she was born to the present, she has always been in the capital.

Ning Daguan got up with Gu Hengbo in his arms, caught a glimpse of the pitiful appearance in her eyes, and secretly scolded the little goblin, now she is more real than before or in the Swallow Tower.

"Are you going to break it again?" Gu Hengbo blinked, spit out a mouthful of aroma, and said charmingly, his hand also put his arm around Ning Daguanren's neck again to maintain the balance of his body, and he was a little shy and a little puzzled in his heart, I don't know why it would be so powerful to watch such a thin little man do that kind of thing?

"What do you say?" Ning Zhiyuan smiled, and the woman felt a little obscene.

Gu Hengbo smiled, Ning Daguan felt very inexplicable, and then after a few breaths, he knew.

"Ning Gongzi should drink the medicine and have sex first, otherwise he will hurt himself."

Embarrassing, Ning Zhiyuan really felt a little embarrassed, the only one who could say the word "intercourse" so openly was Li Yuran, the chick, and it was very misleading to say such things in this situation?

Ning Zhiyuan froze in place holding Gu Hengbo's movements, and then slowly sat back on the stone chair in the courtyard, as if he was holding a breath in his heart.

Li Yuran's temperament is really out of line, why don't he carry her to bed every night, she just treats herself like this, and she doesn't let people report it first when she enters her own territory? sighed secretly, and the soldiers didn't stop her, she really thought it had something to do with her.

Gu Hengbo's eyes seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and Ning Zhiyuan's body swirled, as if he understood something, which made Ning Daguan feel even more depressed.

"Yuran, why do you want to eat it now, why do you still hurt your body, isn't it not harmful to your body?" Ning Daguan retorted, it is best not to misunderstand this matter.

Li Yuran's beautiful eyes turned, making Ning Zhiyuanfa suddenly feel that although she looked ordinary, her eyes seemed to be getting better and better, well, she was also very temperamental, but her temperament was too weird.

"This medicine is the one that specializes in treating Ning Gongzi." Li Yuran showed a faint smile, "Jinglan and they all know it, otherwise how could they let me come and follow Ning Gongzi to help you heal?" ”

Gu Hengbo suddenly realized, and Ning Daguan also suddenly realized, but the two of them realized something different.

His face changed a little, and Ning Daguan suddenly smiled, then snatched the medicine bowl from Li Yuran's hand, drank a few sips, and rushed to the room with Gu Hengbo with a strange face again.

Li Yuran was stunned on the spot, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and walked away with the medicine bowl with a slightly red face, so that he couldn't stop the man from prostituting himself during the day, it was really hateful

Ning Daguan's eyes were half-squinted, his mood was really comfortable, and just now he also made Li Yuran's chick deflated, and taught Gu Hengbo a good lesson.

Wang Wu couldn't wait to greet Ning Zhiyuan as soon as he came out of the room, with joy in his expression, which made Ning Daguan's suspicion that he was listening to the bed and his thoughts faded.

"Childe, you're in the middle of the Yuan." Wang Wu said in an excited tone.

Gu Hengbo went out of the room at this time, Wang Wu glanced at it, and quickly moved his gaze away, this is the child's woman, his own hostess, he can't look at it.

The woman showed a smile, she was sweating a lot just now and was uncomfortable, but now she also felt very comfortable, it turned out that this little man was really hit, let's just say, with his big talent, how could he worry about not being able to get famous?

Ning Daguan didn't react specifically, just looked up at the sky where the sun was dazzling, and wondered if he had heard it wrong. What did Wang Wu say just now?

"Childe, you're in the middle of the Yuan." Wang Wu's admiration for Ning Zhiyuan deepened, he was not a scholar, but he also knew that Huiyuan's attraction to scholars was absolutely huge, if it was someone else, he would not be able to go to heaven with joy, how could he be so calm, so he repeated it again

"Childe, you're in the middle of the Yuan." Wang Wu said with some frustration, this son is calm and calm, but he is not so calm, he has said this more than ten times, how can he ignore people?

"Little man, what's wrong with you?" Gu Hengbo stood behind Ning Zhiyuan for a long time, and found that something was not quite right with him, so he stepped forward a few steps forward and hugged him and asked.

Wang Wu on the side listened to it and felt a little weak in his heart, the son and this lady said love words, little man? What did you hear?

"Wang Wu, how did you know that my son had won the Huiyuan." Ning Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and finally said a word.

"I don't want to know either," Wang Wu said with a bitter face, thinking that the rich still have a way, and a dozen sentences that are heart-rending are not as useful as Mrs. Qingpiao's words, "The outside is already full of small people who have come to report the good news, and they can't be driven away, and Li Gongzi hasn't come back yet, isn't this waiting for Gongzi to come and get an idea?" ”

Ning Zhiyuan frowned, unlike in that township test, he had already lived in Jinling for many years, and he hadn't been here for a few days this time, how could anyone know that he lived here?

"Leave the money away, do you want me to teach you this?" Ning Zhiyuan said, isn't this the case every time the imperial examination is held?

"The subordinates have tried, but this time it is endless, some people come for the first time and the second time, and the number of people is increasing, so the subordinates are not doing this, and the silver is scattered hundreds of taels." Wang Wu said.

He knows the character of this son, if the amount is not large, the silver is scattered, but the big amount is not very happy, not stingy, and he doesn't know how to describe it, he can only say that the child's thoughts are a little different.

Ning Zhiyuan was really not very happy, he had a feeling of being coerced by others, and he also understood that the meeting test was completely different from the township test, last time he scattered dozens of taels, this time, hey, the people in the city are really not real.

"Then wait for them to stand outside." Ning Zhiyuan flicked his sleeves, and then said, no matter what the consequences were, he grabbed Gu Hengbo's wrist and took a step.

Gu Hengbo blinked his eyes and wrapped his playful hands around, and he was very happy for the man in his heart, Ning Daguan took advantage of the situation and hugged the woman's willow waist, this kind of trivial matter still didn't want to go, or the most important thing to take a bath Wang Wu hurriedly retreated.

"Close the door, close the door quickly" Li Dingfang said with a red face, patting his chest, the appearance outside is too cruel.

He and Li Yinggang naturally wouldn't stand there waiting for the list to be released like the middle school scholars, just waiting in the teahouse opposite the apricot list, watching a few crazy laughs from time to time or something, and then being carried home directly to be a son-in-law, I already felt that the scene was very lively, and now I feel that it is not lively enough when I return to the house.

Li Dingfang was still very happy in his heart, his name was on the apricot list, and he was ranked nineteenth among the three hundred tributes, which was already very high, although it was not as exaggerated as Li Ying's ranking third, but it was indispensable to have a second-class jinshi above the absolute palace test.

Speaking of Li Ying, Li Dingfang was a little complaining and a little surprised, he thought that the playboy who was like half of Zhiyuan and was not doing his job was just going through the motions, and the result would not be too good, but he didn't expect to be ranked third directly, if his observation was correct, the look in Li Ying's eyes at that time was very complicated and secretive, but he believed in his intuition.

Of course, the most eye-catching are the three big characters, Ning Zhiyuan, Xingbang Huiyuan, which makes Li Dingfang a little unbearable, but he is really happy for Ning Zhiyuan in his heart, but he can't figure it out, isn't Zhiyuan already messed up in the second trial?

Thinking of the scene when he hadn't entered the door yet, the more than 100 silver taels he was carrying had been astigmatized, and the number of people had not decreased, and there was some helplessness in the happiness, so he could only sneak in through the back door, and there were not many people there.

The conscience of heaven and earth, if there is a choice, Li Dingfang will definitely not think about going through the back door.

"The first test is Zhiyuan you, the second is Wu Meicun, the third is Li Ying, and I am the nineteenth." Li Dingfang said with a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little weird.

Ning Daguan shrugged helplessly, "Dingfang, don't look at me, I don't know what's going on, I really answered that second time." "Although there are three games, the first two are the key, everyone knows that the strategy is only the main content of the palace examination.

"But Li Ying's kid is really not simple." Ning Zhiyuan muttered to himself.

"Hmm." Li Dingfang still feels very good about Li Ying, the brothers who have visited the kiln together, but they always feel a little strange in their hearts just now.

"I think Brother Li is a little dissatisfied with his current results, at that time, there seemed to be a trace of disappointment in his eyes first, and then excitement, and some deliberate feelings." Li Dingfang said that no matter when, he always favored Ning Zhiyuan.

"Maybe the goal of others is to be the winner or even the champion." Ning Zhiyuan continued with a smile.

"Maybe." Li Dingfang responded, his mind was a little erratic, "Zhiyuan, do you just let those people outside block the door of their house there?" ”

In previous years, there may not be such an exaggeration, but in recent years, the number of displaced people in the northwest has increased significantly, and there has been a large influx of refugees from the south who have not rebelled into these prosperous areas.

Ning Zhiyuan is a little pitiful to them, but he won't just give them silver, although he doesn't care about the money, if these people are still there when he goes out tomorrow, then he won't care about driving people away.

I can't guarantee that I will dislike any wind and waves, and Huiyuan will drive away the people who report the good news, this is only the first time.

"As soon as Zhiyuan's name was pronounced, someone in the crowd immediately shouted, go to Ningfu to report the good news, and then many onlookers followed, and now I think about it, it's still a little wrong." Li Dingfang thought for a while and said.

"Wang Wufa's silver taels and Dingfang's silver taels should have been received by hundreds or thousands of people, but I'm afraid that if it continues like this, there will be more people tomorrow, so it shouldn't be sent in the first place." Ning Zhiyuan said lightly, now he also figured out something in his heart, knowing that someone had done it for him, and he also patted a few personal soldiers to secretly check among the people outside the door, but he didn't find the first person to take the lead, but he was afraid that he had already left.

But these things are just small things in his opinion, but he is very annoyed that someone always gives him this kind of routine, and he is really helpless, although he has not offended anyone, but there seem to be many enemies, it sounds a little ridiculous, but it is so.

will start to drive people tomorrow, and Ning Zhiyuan has already made a decision in his heart.

Li Dingfang thought a little far away at this time, two days later, he was the palace to ask for advice, he didn't know what kind of official he could install, he was still very satisfied with his previous life, just read like that, and then watched a lot of silver come into the account, living a very happy life, the only younger brother was already in Shaanxi, with nearly 10,000 people, he seemed to have no goal.

Just become an official, such a life is about to begin to change, so what should he do, do a good job as a political party? He was starting to feel a little confused about the future.

The surroundings were quiet, and now it was just afternoon, Ning Daguan quietly took a sip of tea and looked at the sky with a light smile. (To be continued.) )
