In the cold winter, the snowflakes in the capital are fluttering, and the imperial city of Lin'an is still solemn and majestic although it is covered in silver. Along the way, Ye Yu sat in the carriage, but he suffered from bumps.

At this moment, when I entered the capital and saw this imperial city decorated by Ruixue, I couldn't help but have a sense of visit. For a person like him with weak legs, although stepping on snow is extremely unrealistic, it is also good to be able to come out and breathe.

immediately got out of the carriage, and at this time, a cold wind blew, and Ye Yu's hat was blown to the ground. At this time, the scholar Ah Kuan saw this, put down the bookcase in his arms and hurriedly said, "Young master, your hat has fallen to the ground!" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, She Dongcheng, who was pushing a wheelchair, had a cold face and scolded: "Nonsense, shut your crow's mouth!" The eldest brother has just entered the capital, and you actually said such unlucky words. If someone else says such things, I will beat you to death!" ”

Although Ah Kuan is a young man, he is extremely clever, and after She Dongcheng's reprimand, he immediately understood his mistake, so he picked up his hat and apologized to Ye Yu: "Young master, the little dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and what he just said is pure nonsense......"

Ye Yu looked around at the two of them, and saw that they were all nervous, and then waved his hand and teased: "Eh, this is a good sign, it is obviously reaching the ground (and the first), how did it become the landing (falling first)?" Ah Kuan, let's talk about it clearly! ”

"Do you hear that? Big brother, this is the first, don't talk nonsense in the future! She Dongcheng raised his hand angrily, as if he wanted to teach Ah Kuan a lesson if he didn't agree.

"Remember, it's called and, and the! Come, young master, put your hat tighter so that you will never reach the ground! ”

Syllable!

As soon as Ah Kuan's words fell, She Dongcheng glared, and hit Ah Kuan a little hard with his big hand: "What, never 'and first', are you beating!?" ”

She Dong Cheng was so angry that he chased after Ah Kuan, and Ah Kuan said aggrievedly while hiding: "Don't say that you are talking about the ground (first), why is it wrong to say that you are talking about the ground (first)?" I didn't want to slip under my feet, so I fell on all fours, which made Ye Yu laugh.

"Okay, okay, Dong Cheng, what are you talking about with a child, Ah Kuan just told the truth, this hat is indeed on the ground!" Ye Yu saw that the two of you were chasing me and hiding, so he scolded with a smile.

"But, big brother, this kid is unlucky to speak, I have to teach him a good lesson today!"

"That's it! It would be too nonsense to say that a few curses and congratulatory words can decide the fate of a person! It's almost dawn, let's hurry as much as we can......"

After Ye Yu's several dissuasions, She Dongcheng spared Ah Kuan, who couldn't speak. The aggrieved Ah Kuan put the bookcase back in the car, pulled the carriage and followed Ye Yu and slowly walked towards the imperial city.

At this time, the snowflakes are still fluttering, but the sky is already transparent, and the rising sun can be seen in the fog, and a few warm glows are sprinkled on the buildings.

For the Great Inner Imperial City in front of them, ordinary people are intimidated by its majesty and heaviness, and they can't help but be daunted. The imperial city is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for the grass people to go deep into it to see what is going on, and even the princes and nobles in the capital rarely have the opportunity to enter, giving people the feeling that it is always mysterious and unpredictable.

Ye Yu, who entered the capital, first went to the Ministry of Rites to go through all the formalities, and then he was ready to go to the inn to stay. However, what moved Ye Yu was that when he went to the Ministry of Rites, he met Yang Hui.

Seeing Yang Hui, who had been waiting for a long time in the Ministry of Rites, Ye Yu knew that this cheap teacher was worried that he would be harassed by the officials of the Ministry of Rites. After all, if he participated in the imperial examination with a disability like him, he would inevitably be discriminated against.

Yang Hui originally intended to let Ye Yu temporarily live in his house during the scientific expedition, but Ye Yu politely declined. After all, as a candidate for the entrance examination, and he is a controversial person with a disability, if he lives in the Taishi Ling Mansion at the moment, he will inevitably be criticized even if he is in high school in the future.

Ye Yu's scruples Yang Hui deeply agreed, the more he looked at his named student, the more pleasing he became, and he must not cause trouble to the student because of himself, so he also obeyed Ye Yu's meaning.

The master and apprentice left separately in the Ministry of Rites, and Ye Yu learned from Yang Hui's mouth that the main examiner of the examination was the privy envoy Yu Yunwen, and the deputy examiner was Taiwei Zhang Shuo.

Hearing that the lineup of this test was so different, Ye Yu couldn't help but show a wry smile. The imperial examination is not only a way for the imperial court to select materials, but also a place for these parties to expand their wings.

For these two examiners, Ye Yu, who knows a lot about the history of the Southern Song Dynasty, has heard of it. Yu Yunwen is a rare main battle faction in the Southern Song Dynasty, and his resume is also remarkable.

And the deputy chief examiner Zhang said that although Ye Yu didn't know much about it, he had also heard a lot of folk rumors in the past two years, and Zhang said that he could be said to be a representative of the main and faction.

Although this person has no merits, he is the brother-in-law of the current Queen Mother. If you have to talk about kinship, the current emperor Xiaozong has to call him an uncle.

But no matter how this officialdom party competes, he still has to actively prepare for the exam, so Ye Yu doesn't think about it anymore and prepares to find an inn to study his homework well.

……

"Young master, look, there is someone dancing a sword in front!"

Ye Yu and She Dongcheng looked in the direction pointed by Ah Kuan, and found that in the open space in front of the inn not far away, a scholar-like person was dancing a sword in the snow. The meteor-like sword flower and the flying snowflakes were all in one, like a silver dragon flying, and a few people around applauded.

When the three of them came closer, they saw this handsome scholar, dancing a sword in a slow and orderly manner in his right hand, and drawing quickly on a piece of cardboard with a charcoal in his left hand. I saw that this person's eyebrows were like peaks, his expression was focused, and his single-mindedness was breathtaking.

Ye Yuju looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised and said: "What a pair, the lines are smooth and lifelike!" ”

This life of praise and drinking made the handsome scholar's figure pause slightly, but then he danced and painted with a sword like a smart body. When the painting is finished, the long sword in his hand has also closed its momentum!

However, the scholar stood in place, as if he was still a little unsatisfied. At this time, Ye Yu seemed to see this person's thoughts, so he motioned for Ah Kuan to take a pot of wine from the car.

"This benevolent brother, if you don't dislike Ye's muddy wine, Ye Mou will be invited for this meal!"

Ah Kuan followed Ye Yu's instructions and personally delivered a pot of wine to the scholar. The scholar's expression was slightly stunned, and then he glanced at Ye Yu deeply: "Xiao Moufang is feeling thirsty in his mouth, it seems that something is missing, I didn't expect this brother to be so confidant......"

"Qingfeng is three feet, happy and vengeful, drunk and drunk, how can there be no wine?"

"Haha! What Brother Tai said is very true, how can there be no wine......" The scholar drank the wine in the pot in a chic manner, and then smiled and said: "In Xiao Guoliang, Fuzhou, I don't know the name of Brother Taizun?" ”

Ye Yu saw that the person in front of him was so bold, and immediately replied; "Chuzhou Ye Yu, this time I came to Beijing to participate in the Spring Expedition!"

"Oh, Brother Ye is also Jinke's son?" Xiao Guoliang looked at Ye Yu in surprise, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

"Exactly, this is not a guest shop! Ye Mou's view of Brother Xiao's demeanor must also be the ...... of today's imperial examination."

Xiao Guoliang looked at Ye Yu happily: "Since you and I are both the sons of the Imperial Court, it is better to meet by chance, Brother Ye might as well live in this Yunlai Inn!" ”

Ye Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the inn beside him, thinking that Xiao Guoliang must also live here.

Anyway, when he came to Lin'an, he stayed in the hotel, and since the other party invited him kindly, Ye Yu was inconvenient to refuse, so he nodded and said: "It's okay, if Ye has any problems with the article at that time, it is better to ask Brother Xiao for advice......

"Brother Ye is my Chuzhou Xie Yuan, who is so talented that Brother Ye deigns to ask for advice?" As soon as Ye Yu's words fell, a ridiculous word came from the inn.

Ye Yu followed the sound and walked out of the door with two young scholars one after the other. Ye Yu knew each other at a glance, and it was Meng Tong who walked in front, and the yellow-faced man behind him was Yue Chen.

Xiao Guoliang looked at Ye Yu again with a surprised gaze, and then exclaimed: "It turns out that Brother Ye is Chuzhou Xie Yuan, Brother Ye is so young...... Xiao is clumsy! ”

"Brother Xiao has won the award, Ye is ......"

Ye Yu was about to be humble, but he never wanted to be interrupted by Meng Tong: "Brother Ye, if you ask a Nanban for advice on this street, isn't it insulting your identity as Xie Yuan?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Yu's brows furrowed slightly and he was slightly displeased, but Xiao Guoliang laughed loudly: "This benevolent brother, Xiao and Brother Ye are friends, it seems that it has nothing to do with you!" ”

"What Brother Xiao said is extremely true, if the fellowship between peers is caused by this, it is really boring!" Ye Yu took Xiao Guoliang's words and said in a deep voice to Meng Tong: "Brother Meng, there is no end to learning, you should understand this truth!" ”

"This Meng naturally knows!"

"Since you know, you should know that there is no distinction between north and south, and there are no borders or races! Besides, Brother Xiao is from Fuzhou, how can he be regarded as a Nanban? keeps talking about Nanban, so do you know that within the territory of the imperial court today, you and I are called Nanban? ”

"This ......"

As soon as Ye Yu thought that the imperial court had been reduced to such a state, and a literati like Meng Tong was still dividing the territory for the so-called regional culture, he felt nameless anger and anger in his heart.

"The literati have been despised since ancient times, and it is understandable that Brother Meng pretends to be a Qing Gao Ye! But with such a quick tongue, it is better to wait for you to recover the great Central Plains north of the Yangtze River, and then talk about your so-called division between the north and the south! ”

"Humph! The so-called Kong said Chengren Meng said to take righteousness, Meng read the book of sages, and he didn't care about your tongue! Meng knew that he couldn't say anything about Ye Yu, so he flicked his sleeves, turned around and entered the inn in a gloomy manner.

Yue Chen, who came out with him, was a little embarrassed and persuaded: "Brother Ye doesn't need to be so angry, Brother Meng is a little stubborn, you should be considerate!" ”

"That's it! Ye didn't care about him, he just wronged Brother Xiao! ”

"Eh, Brother Ye's words can be described as deafening, Xiao is really admired, go, eat and drink, go to ......"

"It's okay, talking about wine is the most pleasing thing for Yue!"

When the three of them left, the crowd gradually dispersed, and an old man dressed in purple looked at the back of the three of them leaving, and couldn't help but nod and smile with relief.
