Wang Ximeng was very relieved to see that the young man in front of him was so smart. Then he simply sat down, as if recalling the past, and said slowly: "I didn't expect that the old man has lived in seclusion for more than 50 years, and there are still people who remember the old man, you doll has a heart......

"Old man, please forgive the younger generation for taking the liberty ......"

Ye Yu was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wang Ximeng waving his hand, and then smiled meaningfully: "What do you call old decay?" ”

"......Forehead" Ye Yu was slightly stunned, and then said with ecstasy: "Student, meet the teacher!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to bow down and bow, but Wang Ximeng held it up with dry hands: "Okay, the old man has lived in seclusion for half a lifetime, how can you care about those red tapes, your legs will be inconvenient, and you can have the love of master and apprentice in each other's hearts!" ”

"What the teacher said is very true, but the student has a doubt, I wonder if the teacher can solve the doubt?"

"Huh! You are asking, why did the old decay retire here at a time when its reputation was at its peak? Wang Ximeng had already seen what Ye Yu wanted to ask, so he raised his head to the sky and laughed.

Ye Yu could only smile, indicating that he acquiesced to Wang Ximeng's guess.

"The world says that you died of illness, teacher......"

"Death?" When Wang Ximeng heard these two words, he revealed a rare loneliness, and sighed slightly and said to himself: "Royal Historical Records, how many can be taken seriously?" But even so, the world foolishly believes it! ”

As soon as he heard the word royal, Ye Yu couldn't help but be shocked, it seems that the court painter Wang Ximeng disappeared fifty years ago, and it was not as simple as it appeared.

"I'll tell you about this matter in the future! Now that I have taken you as an apprentice, don't slack off in the future when you practice painting! My days are numbered, but I hope that in my lifetime, I can give you all my blessings......"

"Teacher, you ......"

Wang Ximeng waved his hand and signaled that Ye Yu didn't have to say anything: "People are rare after seventy years, and they are content when they are nearly eighty years old!" ”

In the following days, Ye Yu learned to paint in the grass house almost every day, and Wang Ximeng also taught him unreservedly. And Ye Yu's painting foundation and comprehension ability made Wang Ximeng also amazed.

In Wang Ximeng's words, being able to accept Ye Yu as a disciple in his later years is not only Ye Yu's opportunity as an apprentice, but also his honor as a master. The master and apprentice met at this time, and people couldn't help but feel that they hated to see each other......

There is no time in the mountains, the world has been thousands of years, and in the blink of an eye, it is the middle of September. In the past few days, I have gathered a lot of scholars outside the Gongyuan in Anfu, and the original intention is that these days are the period for the release of the list.

Every day, students will gather at the gate of the Gongyuan to watch, and the scenery is spectacular. It's just that among this group of anxious readers, Ye Yu is the only one missing.

On the teahouse not far from the Gongyuan, Ye Mingming and Li Mo sat in front of the window, watching the crowds chatting leisurely.

"Why didn't you see that Ye Yu in the near future, could it be that he was confident?" Li Mo put a piece of dim sum in his mouth and asked casually with a joking.

As soon as the name Ye Yu was mentioned, Ye Mingming couldn't help but feel nauseous, and then said angrily: "Just him? Waste is always a waste, and you still want to enter the imperial examination, and then pay homage to the prime minister? Pipe dream! ”

"Eh, Brother Wise should not be taken lightly, then Ye Yuruo is not inferior to Li in the slightest, if he is promoted in this course, it is not impossible! But Brother Wise, you won't be able to raise your head in the future! ”

"Humph! In my opinion, there are only a handful of people in Chuzhou this time. As you know, there is an untitled exam in this exam room! Who the fuck knows what this examiner means......"

Ye Zhizhi took a sip of tea, but then frowned, threw the tea cup on the table, and scolded the cousin next to him: "Young Master Ben doesn't drink this tea, change it to a good pot of tea!" ”

"Guest officer, this tea is made with the best tea leaves in our store, ......" The cousin stood aside, showing a look of embarrassment.

Li Mo glanced at the angry Ye Mingming, and then waved his hand at the man in the hall and said, "You go down and change a pot of tea, as long as it is not the tea made from this tea, this master will not mind!" Go ahead! ”

"Uh, okay! Wait a minute, two guest officers! ”

The cousin picked up the tea tray and walked out of the room.

"Brother Wise, it's just a pot of tea, why bother with a liver fire! Although this tea is not Longtuan Shengxue, I have to say that the tea boiled by this Maofeng tea has a unique charm! ”

"This wild seed not only destroyed the foundation of my Ye family's porcelain business, but also impacted my Ye family's tea industry with this tea! How could I drink this wild tea? ”

Ye Mingming's words made Li Mo interested, so he asked, "By the way, Brother Mingzhi!" Why do you often call Ye Yu a wild seed, and what is the reason for this? ”

"Uh...... This ......" was asked about this, and Ye Mingming suddenly hesitated a little.

Li Mo saw that his curiosity was even better in his eyes, so he pretended to be displeased and said: "It seems that Brother Wise, it is better to treat Li as an outsider, don't say it!" As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and moved his body to no longer look at Ye Mingming.

"Brother Li, don't misunderstand, this matter is not a secret, and it doesn't hurt to sue Brother Li!" Li Mingzhi pondered for a moment, and then said: "When the uncle was alive, he still had no heirs after the age of confusion, even if Ye didn't say it, Brother Li should know it!" ”

"It is rumored that Mrs. Ye is a fierce woman, and you are not allowed to take a concubine, and Mrs. Ye has not given birth to an heir for many years! In the end, I went to the Bodhisattva Temple to ask for a son, and then I had that Ye Yu ......"

"Ahem! You also said it was a rumor! When Ye Mingzhi said this, he deliberately lowered his voice, approached Li Mo and whispered, "It's just that the uncle made his aunt bear the notoriety of a woman for the sake of face, so as to cover up his hidden disease of being unable to have children." When the uncle and his wife traveled for a year, when they came back, Ye Yu's kid also came to Ye's house! ”

"Then maybe your uncle met a certain master on the way to travel and solved this fertility problem, and it is not impossible for Mrs. Ye to conceive and give birth to an heir in October! Difficulty in having children does not mean that you cannot have children......"

Ye Mingzhi clicked his mouth twice, and it seemed that Li Mo's refutation was not unreasonable, and then he said strongly: "Anyway, this Ye Yu was born very strangely, it must be a wild species!" ”

Li Mo on the side secretly smiled coldly when he heard this, and said in his heart that this is an excuse to occupy your uncle's family business. Although he thought so in his heart, he nodded in agreement: "Brother Ye is reasonable!" ”

"It's far away, today is the period of the list, I don't know if Ye can be promoted!" Ye Mingzhi looked through the window and looked at the gate of the Gongyuan opposite, he was relaxed and freehand, but at this moment he could not hide his anxiety.

Just as the two were talking, the gate of the Gongyuan slowly opened, and a middle-aged man who looked like an official appeared in front of everyone with a yellow list in his hand. Then the officials on both sides opened the way in front, and everyone held their breath and consciously moved out of the way.

After the middle-aged official looked around at everyone, he walked to the post place with official steps and pasted the wide list. As soon as the officials left, many onlookers rushed up to surround the water!

There were twelve names on the laurel list, which couldn't help but make everyone gasp. In the past, there were at least 20 people in the imperial examination! Now there are only 12 people, what an invisible competition!

"Haha! I'm in! There was an exclamation from the crowd.

"Where are you yelling?"

"Look at that! 10th place! A middle-aged man in his forties pointed to the list happily and happily.

As soon as the middle-aged man's words fell, another corner of the crowd also let out an exclamation: "Hahaha, I've been hit too!" 3rd place! Ha ha! After decades, the old examination room is finally ranked in the top three ......"

"Hey! Old man, old man, old man, ......" After an exclamation, it was exchanged for the exclamation of everyone, because the old man, who was over sixty years old, fainted due to emotion.

A small episode did not affect everyone's enthusiasm for the list, and the crowd let out a sound of admiration and joy from time to time, and many people left silently with their heads down.

Although once he became famous and known to the world, he suffered tens of millions of people in the cold window for several years!

There was a carriage parked outside the Gongyuan, and Qiu Lan and Su Yueyun were sitting in the carriage, and Su Yueyun seemed to be a little nervous at this time, poking her head out from time to time and waiting for something.

Qiulan, who was sitting next to her, saw Su Yueyun fidgeting like this, and then giggled: "Hey, Sister Yueyun, just wait, Ah Kuan will come back soon to report the news!" ”

"Does that Ah Kuan know how to read?" Su Yueyun was still not at ease, and immediately asked a very high-level question.

"Don't worry, although Ah Kuan doesn't know much, he still remembers the young master's name clearly!"

Su Yueyun saw Qiulan looking at herself with bad intentions, so she said angrily: "You girl, this is all on the list, and it's so easy!" It's the same temperament as your young master, and I haven't even seen a figure early in the morning......"

"Giggles! But the young master said, 'As long as everything that needs to be done is done, the result doesn't matter!' And there is no way to get it back! I've done my best, and I won't regret it even if I fail! Qiulan playfully pretended to be Ye Yu, lowered her voice and learned Ye Yu to speak.

"You ghost, I really can't ...... you" Seeing Qiulan pretending to be Ye Yu in a good manner, Su Yueyun couldn't help but hide her face and laugh.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the car, and then someone shouted: "Sister Qiulan......"

As soon as Qiulan heard this voice, she hurriedly poked her head out and asked eagerly at Ah Kuan who ran over, "Ah Kuan, do you see it?" ”

"See! ......" Ah Kuan ran to the carriage, panting breathlessly.

"Come on, is your young master on the list?" Su Yueyun couldn't wait to poke her head out, ignoring the eldest lady's reserve, and asked anxiously as she pulled Ah Kuan.

Ah Kuan is a fourteen-year-old boy, since Ye Yu expanded his family garden, he has become a scholar who cleans the study, and he is familiar with Qiulan on weekdays. At this moment, being pulled by the unfamiliar Su Yueyun made him embarrassed by the young boy.

I don't know if it's because of the fast walking, or because of the youth, Ah Kuan looked embarrassed and said, "It's on the list!" ”

Ah Kuan's answer made Su Yueyun's expression relaxed, while Qiulan was overjoyed, and asked very anxiously, "What is the young master?" ”
