Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Day I Swore an Oath to the King
After resigning from Hetie, Bai Mo left the floating residence in a slippery manner, called a carriage, and went home with Leng Yuyan. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Fang Cai Bai Mo was really shocked for a while, but fortunately, there was no danger, the paper scroll that only wrote jokes was pinched by Bai Mo in his hand, and it had been soaked in sweat and softened.
Bai Mo sat down in front of several cases in the living room, and He Cai greeted him and said with concern: "Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" The face seems to be a little strange. ”
"It's fine." Bai Mo waved his hand, "It's just that the horse in front of the carriage was frightened, and even your father-in-law was frightened for a while, and now that he has returned safely, it's fine." ”
He Cai was a little skeptical of Bai Mo's words, with his own ability to be a father-in-law, don't say that the horse was frightened, even if he was riding on horseback, the horse suddenly died, he should be able to move down unscathed.
However, He Cai didn't plan to get to the bottom of this matter, after all, as Bai Mo said, since he had returned safely, it would be fine, He Cai was also relieved, and after leaving a kiss on Bai Mo's forehead, he went to the kitchen to boil water.
Seeing He Cai leave the living room, Bai Mo grabbed Leng Yuyan's hand, Leng Yuyan was surprised at first, and when he felt the soft note in his hand, he understood what was going on, at this time, Bai Mo whispered in Leng Yuyan's ear: "Put it on the candle and bake it for a while, if it doesn't work, brush it with a layer of rice soup." ”
Leng Yuyan nodded, and returned to his room, lighting candles in broad daylight. The note was slightly roasted on the candle, revealing the handwriting that had not been there before.
"The surname is white, compensate me Sister Ruoyun!"
Another joke.
Leng Yuyan couldn't help but chuckle.
Then she blew out the candle. She already had a spare copy of the rice soup needed to read the secret letter, but this time she just took a piece of bamboo tube from her sleeve, unscrewed the lid of the tube, stirred it in the bamboo tube with her fingers, and then smeared it on the paper.
The handwriting that was baked with a candle just now is black, and this time it is cyan handwriting, which overlaps with the handwriting that can be seen before, but if you look closely, you can still distinguish that it is written: "If you are in danger of leaving Beijing, your eyes are in the southwest." ”
When Leng Yuyan told Bai Mo this sentence, Bai Mo was drinking tea, but he said indistinctly: "Fortunately, he is not really crazy." ”
Xu Ruoyun told Bai Mo before that Mozi went to "Mount Meru" and became a Buddha, looking at Xu Ruoyun's outfit, Bai Mo could guess where their location was.
I don't know if that land is called "Tibet" or "Tibet" or something like that in this world.
The people of this world made Bai Mo feel very cordial, at least he was still speaking Chinese, but the details of history were completely different from the world that Bai Mo was originally familiar with, and he couldn't even find out which period corresponds to the original time and space. In the world he came from, XC had earlier embraced Bon instead of Buddhism, and Bai Mo knew nothing about how Buddhism had developed on this plane and time to reach the Great Snow Mountain.
The only thing that is certain is that it has become Mozi's base.
Nine times out of ten, he said that he would leave Beijing as a magistrate, and if he went to the southwest, he could echo the plateau, but this line of thinking already indicated that he was going to launch an armed rebellion.
Often, the more Bai Mo behaves lightly and inappropriately, the heavier the thoughts in his heart.
Nothing for a few days.
At the entrance of the Standing Office, a new notice was posted, and a new list was posted along with the notice.
More than half of the names on the list have changed, which has made many people happy and sad, and some people even went crazy after seeing the new list.
Fortunately, there was almost no change in the top few, and Bai Mo did not enter the top three as expected, he saw his name in the twelfth place, this ranking is neither high nor low, and he barely has the qualification for the palace examination.
After that, it's time to get ready for the temple exam.
Feng Chang has sent someone to Bai Mo to send a waist card to enter the palace, and instructed the relevant matters, of course, the exam questions will not be disclosed, in fact, what the emperor wants to ask, no one can guess this kind of thing, mainly some ceremonial things, and told Bai Mo that the time has been postponed for a few days, set for August 14, so that he will pass at dawn to be announced.
After reading the notice next to the list, Bai Mo also understood why Mozi wanted him to accumulate fame first.
Because the counselor doctor first raised doubts before presenting specific evidence, as for why he had this suspicion, it was because he named the names of several people, these people were all ranked high in the amorous goods, but the ranking of the imperial examination this time was not high, and most of the examiners were just staff members of the Fengchang Agency, and Lord Fengchang did invite Pei Xingjian's disciples to cooperate in reading the papers, but after all, it was not given to them with full authority, and it was inevitable that there would be omissions.
This kind of questioning is actually not lethal in Bai Mo's eyes, after all, the romantic products and the imperial examinations are not the same, and the romantic products are long-term observation of words and deeds, the imperial examination is just a test results, did not play well, or did not get into the place that others are good at, resulting in a lower ranking, which is normal, but at that time, this question was raised, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty immediately responded, especially those who were of the genre school - the ranking of the merry products was very high, but the ranking of the imperial examination was very low, you are challenging Pei's vision, this is also good, Further, do you want to say in the future that those of us who rely on romantic products to become officials are all fame and reputation, but we have no ability?
Moreover, Pei Xingjian is an authority in himself in recognizing people.
The world values authority very much.
Pei, there is no problem, and the problem must be the group of two knives that you have signed regularly.
Moreover, whether it is the original staff of the Standing Office or the people sent by Pei Xingjian to help in the past, they are very familiar with the romantic products, and the examination papers are not named, and the results of the subjective questions are easily affected by the previous inherent cognition.
But when Wen Liang was found to have taken bribes, the matter was determined, and no one went into it anymore.
And the fact that Mozi entered Beijing to face the saint did not cause any turmoil.
It's nothing more than that my Great Jin has another subject country called "Snow Mountain Country".
In the memory of the imperial court, Mozi should still be the young man who came to Fengjing alone to intercede when Qin was besieged, the noble son who was not shocked, personable but ruthless.
In any case, I would not associate that person with this so-called "national teacher" who was surrounded by a group of old monks and didn't even have any hair.
The imperial court did not have a secret service like Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and most of the intelligence work was in the hands of the soldiers, serving the war, rather than dealing with domestic undercurrents and conspiracies.
It's night.
This small courtyard is decorated with lights.
It's just that this time there weren't too many guests.
There were only a few acquaintances in the room, such as Wei Zhen, Du Xipo, Meng Yu, and Da Luzi, Bai Mo broke the ring and drank a lot of wine, and Wei Zheng also drank too much, no matter how Bai Mo stopped him, he had to play a song in front of the hall, and as a result, he played a mourning music for the dead, which made Bai Mo and the guests present very embarrassed.
The big furnace giggled: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Bai has married such a beautiful woman in a room, I am really envious to death, when will I be able to ......"
As soon as he said this, the big furnace's ears hurt, and there was a milky reprimand: "Big furnace, how old are you, and you are still thinking about harming the little girl, are you ashamed?" Shame or not? ”
"Hero, spare your life! I'm not fantasizing about it, and it's not really ......."
"Fantasy doesn't work! Also, if she is a little girl, how can she be called a hero? You have to call it a fairy or a woman! ”
"Okay, good, the woman spares her life, let go of my ears...... Eh, it hurts me......"
This pair of living treasures caused the guests to laugh heartily.
Bai Mo's mood has also improved a lot, and what he wants to do most now is to twist Wei Zhen's ears so that he can pay attention to the occasion of playing music.
Wei Zhengjiu woke up a little, and he also realized his gaffe, and he laughed for a while, without remorse.
Meng Yu said unhappily: "If you hire a concubine like Bai Xiaoyou, you can't find a second one in the past." ”
Bai Mo smiled and said: "This is called equality for everyone!" ”
Meng Yu opened his mouth again, just wanting to say something nonsense such as "subverting Gangchang" and "Yidi's trip", but Du Xipo sealed his mouth with a wine cup and let out a "woo" moan.
Bai Mo smiled and said: "Mr. Meng is elegant, Bai is ashamed of himself!" ”
After being full of wine and food, the guests dispersed, and Bai Mo walked into Leng Yuyan's room alone.
Red candles flickering, light and dark windowsills.
Bai Mo yawned, and a fair lady sat on the edge of the bed upright and quietly, which made Bai Mo start to think about it.
This is the time.
Remembering the small window.
Swallows in the mud maple trail.
Flying kite tether line next to the white clouds.
After that, the dream is long.
Bai Mo remembered the side of Qingxi, and Leng Yuyan imitated the poem he wrote about Jiangnan.
Feelings are brewing, as if the cold jade smoke at this moment is the same as at that time, looking at herself barefoot, dripping with streams, and looking at herself with clear eyes.
But when Bai Mo approached, Leng Yuyan took out a dagger out of nowhere.
"Don't come here!"
Bai Mo's wine woke up more than half at once.
The cold jade smoke at that time, or the cold jade smoke at this moment, which one is real?
Leng Yuyan put down the dagger and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
"It's fine." Bai Mo said and coughed, "I was dazzled just now, right?" ”
Leng Yuyan nodded.
Bai Mo sneered: "Do you want to continue?" ”
Leng Yuyan untied the hair coiled on top of her head, and the long, dark strands of hair fell out, revealing the scalp on top of her head that had been burned by the flames and could no longer grow hair.
Leng Yuyan squinted her eyes, the corners of her mouth turned down, and tears rolled down uncontrollably.
"I said, I saw another person just now, will you believe me?"
Bai Mo immediately hugged her, kissed her lips, and licked the tears from her face.
"I believe in you, don't think too much, forget all the things before, from now on, no one can hurt you again."
"I swear to God."
