Not long after Ye Yu got up, Yue Chen walked in with a food box.

"Brother Yue, you are ......"

Yue Chen put the food box on the table with a big smile, and asked Ye Yu meaningfully: "You kid tell the truth, have you known Sanniang for a long time?" ”

"Sanniang?" Not long after Ye Yu got up, he was already a little confused, and being asked by Yue Chen's endless questioning made him even more confused.

"It's my second uncle's third daughter!"

"Bachelor Yue's third daughter......" Ye Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Ye remembered that he had a chance to participate in the lantern competition in Lai'an Mansion that day!" Why, why did Brother Yue suddenly ask about this? ”

"Is it really just a one-sided relationship?"

Yue Chen asked in a weird way, which made Ye Yu laugh: "Brother Yue, are you making a fuss?" ”

"This is the food that Sanniang asked me to send you, and let my cousin bring you a message, wishing you a spring of thought and the title of the gold list! You said that you are a one-sided relationship, Brother Ye, do you think I will believe it? ”

Forehead......

Ye Yu looked at the food box on the table in amazement, and said in his heart, what the hell is going on. I don't seem to be familiar with that Yue Sanniang, and it was just a one-sided relationship at the beginning, and I won a butterfly silver hairpin in a bet.

That's all, as for such care, and food?

Looking at Yue Chen's strange eyes, Ye Yu felt the need to explain well: "That, Brother Yue, the younger brother is really not familiar with Sister Ling...... Here's the thing, that day, the festival ......"

"Hey, hey! Needless to say, no need to say, no need to explain, Yue actually doesn't mean anything else! ”

"No, brother in law, don't misunderstand......"

"Ye Gongzi, just a woman sent this ......" Just as Ye Yu was about to argue, the guy in the store walked in with a delicate food box.

"What? It's a food box again! Ye Yu looked at the food box in amazement.

"What? Sent by a woman? Yue Chen walked a few steps closely, came to the front of the guy and asked urgently, "Are you sure it's a woman?" ”

"yes, the little eyes haven't been flowered yet, but it's ...... gone"

Yue Chen turned around, looked at Ye Yu with a smile, and teased, "Brother Ye, how do you think this should be explained......

"Yo, Brother Yue is also here!"

Yue Chen was about to tease Ye Yu with this, but he didn't think that as soon as he was halfway through his words, Xiao Guoliang strode in.

Yue Chen saw Xiao Guoliang walk in, and immediately had a topic: "Brother Xiao, you came just in time, you vaguely said that Brother Ye had a good relationship in Lin'an that day." At first, Yue was still skeptical, but now you see, I can't help but believe it! ”

"Brother Yue, Brother Xiao, listen to me, it's actually ......"

Xiao Guoliang waved his hand and signaled Ye Yu not to say: "I believe Brother Ye, there can't be a good one in Lin'an!" ”

"Brother Xiao is really visionary! Confidant~! Ye Yu clapped his hands, and someone finally spoke for him.

But when Ye Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Guoliang changed his words and said: "Because there is more than one!" Brother Ye, this big exam is approaching, you have to pay more attention to your body, this is what a woman asked me to hand over to you when Xiao bought buns! ”

Xiao Guoliang said and put the meat bun in the paper bag on the table, took out a talisman tied with silk thread from his arms, and then laughed: "This talisman is not easy to come by, it is said that this talisman can bless the candidate's gold list questions......

Yue Chen snatched the rune, looked at it twice, and questioned, "Really? ”

"It's not clear whether it's true or false, and it's not important, it's the person who sent it...... Brother Ye, what do you think? ”

"Uh...... This, Ye really doesn't know ......"

Ye Yu was already overwhelmed by this sudden continuous incident. To say that Yue Sanniang sent the food box can still be explained, but the food box sent by this guy and Xiao Guoliang's rune, even he doesn't know the reason, how can he explain it to everyone?

"Hey! I said Brother Ye, Yue has been in Beijing for so many years, and there are not a few good concubines, you have such achievements not long after you set foot in the capital! Is it because you're a little bit more handsome than me? ”

"Little brother really doesn't know ......"

Ye Yu cried and was speechless.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the hour is coming, we still need to hurry!" At this time, Meng Tong reminded outside the door.

Call! Finally someone came out to break the siege, and Ye Yu suddenly felt that Meng Tong was the savior. But Meng Tong's next words made Ye Yu not relax for a long time.

"Brother Ye, don't be a woman who hollows out her body and affects the exam, making the competition between you and me unfair!" After Meng Tong finished speaking coldly, he ignored the crowd and went downstairs first.

Yue Chen stuffed the food box into Ye Yu's arms and muttered, "I can sue you, I don't care about your good concubines!" The food prepared by my sister, you must eat! ”

"Good, good! I eat! ”

In front of Yue Chen, Ye Yu swallowed the Fulu bun in the food box, and almost choked on it. There are quite a few left, which are just used for exams to satisfy hunger.

……

Gongyuan, the name of which runs through Chinese culture for more than 1,000 years, has the meaning of selecting talents to contribute to the emperor by examination. In ancient times, all items dedicated to the emperor were called tribute, and the place where talents were contributed was naturally called the Tribute Temple.

The Gongyuan sits in the north and faces south, the wall is tall and thick, there are three gates in total, there is a huge shadow wall outside the south gate, which is reserved for the purpose of making a list. Behind the shadow wall are three dragon gates. The so-called Fish Leaping Dragon Gate turned into auspiciousness, which is these gates.

When Ye Yu and the four of them came to the Gongyuan, the sky was already bright. At this time, I saw an eight-person official sedan chair trembling and coming over, in addition to the sedan chair man, there were four sword-wielding guards guarding the front and back of the sedan chair.

At a glance at this formation, you can see that it is not a small official. The sedan chair fell in front of the dragon gate, and out of the sedan curtain came an official wearing soap boots and a black veil.

This person is about fifty years old, his expression is solemn and quite energetic, according to the rules of entry, this person should be the privy envoy Yu Yunwen.

Immediately after that, another eight-person official sedan chair came leisurely, and after a while, a slightly chubby official in his early fifties walked out of the sedan chair, of medium stature, wearing the same second-grade court clothes. No need to ask, this is what another examiner Zhang said.

After the two main exams, a small sedan chair came towards the dragon gate in an endless stream, and the sedan chair was the examiner and inspector of each room.

Ye Yu watched the formation of this test from the side, and it was really not comparable to the state test. However, when Ye Yu looked around at the candidates around him, he found two current situations that puzzled him.

One is that among these examples, he is the only one who is disabled, and the rest of the people are all good-looking. He was in the midst of these people, but he was particularly eye-catching. This reminded him of the ridicule of the champion building that day, and his heart was really only his own state test to break through.

And the other is that some of today's people have covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, and there are not a few swollen and bruised mouths, and these seem to be the people who ridiculed him at that time.

"How do these people look like they've been poisoned?" Meng Tong also discovered this unusual situation.

Yue Chen snorted softly: "Maybe this is retribution!" ”

"yes, why bother with these people, let's go, it's time for the exam!" Xiao Guoliang glanced at these moves, and then beckoned everyone to line up for the exam.

Subsequently, under the unified command of the envoys of the Tribute Academy, the candidates entered the Tribute Courtyard from the Dragon Gate. After the more than 3,000 lifters in the body examination hall 'verified their bodies', the examiners of each room led them to enter the public hall in batches, and bowed three times and bowed nine times in front of the portrait of Confucius.

According to the order of the roll call, holding a candle in one hand and an examination basket in the other, under the guidance of the official and the instructions of the inspector, he came to the examination room like a pigeon cage. All candidates have to spend nine days and six nights in this humble room, and go through three big exams.

When all candidates enter the examination booth of the examination room, the door must be locked. It is called the "Locked Courtyard Tribute Examination", and each candidate has an examination booth, a charcoal fire, and a candle.

When the test questions were to be issued, the drums sounded upstairs in Mingyuan, and the test-takers began to answer the questions, taking the copper kettle drip as the timer.

Ye Yu looked at the test questions sent down, and couldn't help but nodded, this time Enke took the exam by the emperor himself, but it put an end to the disadvantages of leaking questions in the main exam, and this question is also quite meaningful.

The title was set as 'Heart Strength', which reminded Ye Yu of Xiaozong's life. Although he had a passion for the Northern Expedition in his life, he failed to get what he wanted. On the contrary, with the corrosion of time, the determination of the Northern Expedition was lost!

'Mental strength', in fact, is the emperor's sigh, the heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient, although the heart has the ambition to win the world, but the reality is very cruel. Ye Yu knew that this was Xiaozong's use of this scientific expedition to explain the cry in his heart.

"You are shouting, the descendants of the Han family in later generations, who is not shouting and roaring deeply!"

Ye Yu's heart was surging at the moment, and at this moment he remembered a classic.

But just as he was about to lift the pen, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach, as if he had turned over the river and the sea. So I hurriedly looked for the toilet in the corner, but I vomited and diarrhea, squatted more than a dozen times in a row, and the scene was miserable.

The stomach hurt sharply, and he kept vomiting and diarrhea, which really tortured Ye Yu a lot. But at the moment, he was still taking the exam, so he couldn't give up easily, so he gritted his teeth, moved the toilet to the table with difficulty, got out of the wheelchair and sat on it directly.

Although diarrhea was very uncomfortable, until it reached the point of collapse, fortunately, Ye Yu's mind was still clear. After soaking a cup of fragrant sycamore wood given by the monk Jidian, the diarrhea gradually stopped.

After pulling his stomach and hungry, Ye Yu was ready to pick up food to satisfy his hunger. But his hand suddenly stopped, and he immediately put the bun under his nose and sniffed it. But this smell made Ye Yu frown slightly. Then he put the bun back in the food box, and would rather starve than eat!

For three days, Ye Yu only drank tea and did not eat food, at this moment Ye Yu was really grateful to the monk Jidian, but he didn't expect that this fragrant sycamore wood, the tea brewed can not only cause diarrhea, but also have the effect of refreshing the mind with clear thinking.

Then he took the pen and swiped it, sprinkled more than 10,000 words without the slightest pause. Following Wang Ximeng to learn painting skills, not only did his painting skills have made great achievements, but his calligraphy has also made rapid progress. Today's Ye Yu's calligraphy is only a matter of time before it reaches the realm.
