Although it was just dawn, there were already hundreds of people waiting in front of the Jingzhao Mansion in the southeast corner of Guangdefang. ◎ Literature Museum Ww.XgUAN.O ◎ The county test of the solution of the test has two levels, the first level is just a rehearsal, and the latter level can almost determine whether the carp can jump the dragon gate in the end. Otherwise, many of these scholars who still copy the local pronunciation do not have to leave their hometowns, and rush to this Jingzhao Chang'an from thousands of miles or even thousands of miles away, and they are exhausted for a piece of mailing documents, and finally have to have the most brutal confrontation with the world's talented people before the provincial test.

Today is the Jingzhao Mansion Examination to determine the quota of the forty township tribute jinshi in Jingzhao Mansion, however, in addition to the tension, the scholars who have met at this time gathered together in twos and threes, and most of the strange news of yesterday evening was not mentioned, but what was discussed was the biggest news among them who had crossed the single-plank bridge in the past few days.

"It's such a coincidence, just a few days away, Zhao Guogong actually passed away!"

"It's just that he passed away, and he rushed to Chang'an with fire and invited Du Jiulang back! Who said it was a marriage? How can it be easy to marry a bad person's future, Qinghe Cui's family is famous, this matter must not be authentic. If you can compete with this person, it will not be in vain to try it in Jingzhao Mansion this year! Look, the lady of the Du family is parking there, thinking that she still has a glimmer of hope for Zuihou. ”

"What are these words? Du Jiulang had been living in the Cui family in Pingkangfang before, and I heard that he was still the son-in-law of the Cui family, and if he didn't return to such a major event, at least he lost his faith! Such conduct, at least can be paid! ”

"You're thinking too much. Isn't it good to have a strong enemy who is fighting for the head? ”

This zuihou sneered with schadenfreude, but it attracted the angry eyes of the three people in front of him. The young scholar who said that Du Shiyi could make friends, even brushed his sleeves and reprimanded: "If you fight, you fight, and hope that others will not be able to take the exam because of things, how despicable!" Don't be too happy, even if Du Shisanlang can't come back, Taiyuan Wang Shisanlang is also a talent who has long been famous in Beijing! ”

Glancing at the scholar who was full of red face when he couldn't say a word, he thought that in the past few days, the matter of Du Shiyi's return to Cui Mansion in Yongfengli, the eastern capital, to visit the funeral of Zhao Guogong Cui Ge has been spreading, and everyone praised his love and righteousness, and the bookstore in Pingkangfang is also a market, and it is even more difficult to find an inkstone in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, Liu Ximing suddenly sneered lightly. However, when he saw the door of the Jingzhao Mansion slowly open, he quickly put away his spirit of keeping an eye on others. This time, Cheng Yufeng, the examiner of Lantian County, who presided over the Jingzhao Mansion Examination, did not go directly to the door of the Wannian County Examination Guo Quan and gave the examiners a dismount, but he didn't even show his face, only two lines of errand officers lined up, and he and the others entered the entrance together.

Compared with the lobby of the previous Wannian County test, the lobby of the Jingzhao Mansion test this time is obviously more spacious, and there are also fences around it. On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, neither cold nor hot, the weather was suitable, when he came to the front of the pu mat, Liu Ximing directly took out a piece of white light ribbon from the burden and shook it off, then sat down, and calmly placed the four treasures of the study on the side. When everyone had almost come in, he looked around, and finally saw neither Du Shiyi nor Wang Wei, and he couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face.

After a while, I saw a tall and thin official in green clothes enter with his back hand, and when he arrived in front of everyone, he coughed lightly with a rigid face, and then said with a straight face: "Lantian County is in Feng, and on the order of Jingzhao Gongyuan Weng, he is presiding over the Jingzhao Mansion Examination this year. The first one, the trial post scripture, until noon, ten over its six parties to try tomorrow's second session! ”

The last time Guo Quan had come to the Wannian County test, the high standard of six out of ten was strict, although it was too late to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, but many people who heard about it still had the corresponding psychological preparations, and at this time it was just a little buzzing discussion, but it was not as uproar as the previous Wannian County test. When the scrolls were handed out one by one, none of the people who were worried heard the words that they were not allowed to redeem the post with poems, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief for a while. And Liu Ximing seemed to have known about this for a long time, and he was not busy answering the questionnaire, but just looked at the scroll in front of him calmly.

The Thessian has never been his forte, and it is almost impossible to answer six out of ten. Instead of meditating and thinking about it at this time, it is better to recharge your energy and wait for the examiner to come up with the questions and write poems and redeem the post!

As the water in the copper kettle drip fell into the copper plate little by little, the sun outside had unconsciously risen high. Knowing that time is pressing, some scholars still want to try to make some more efforts on this post, but some are really powerless to do anything about this post, you must know that there are poems, books, and Yi, as well as "Zhou Li", "Rites" and "Rites", and "Zuo Chuan", "Ram Biography" and "Gu Liang Biography" This Spring and Autumn Three Transmissions, Lin Lin can always memorize all the horns and horns, and I am afraid that there is no one in a hundred among these hundreds of people. Like Liu Ximing, he filled in a few boxes casually, and waited for the final test with anxiety in his heart.

However, when it was almost noon, I only heard a lot of noise outside, and then among the candidates sitting outside the hall, there was a commotion.

"Jingzhao Du Jiulang was robbed and killed on the way back, and the person is already at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion!"

Not to mention that Liu Ximing was shocked when he heard this, what kind of expression did the other candidates have, they hurried to confess last night, and today let Chibi go first to explore the movement of the city gate, and Du Shiyi, who did not enter the city as soon as possible in the early morning, stood outside the Jingzhao Mansion with the accompanying Cui Clan servants at this moment, wearing a white shirt that should have been neat, and it was bloodstained at this time, and there were more and more onlookers around for a while. And Du Sanniang, who had just been surprised and delighted, pulled Zhuying and Qiu Niang out of the car to catch up, but her whole face was pale and bloodless, but she just tightened Du Shiyi's sleeve, and she couldn't even say a word.

In the face of her distraught sister, Du Shiyi couldn't explain too much, just shook her hand gently, and quietly gave a small roll of paper in her hand to Du Sanniang by the way, and then said in a low voice: "After the test in the Japanese Mansion, when you come to pick me up, remember to bring the Na Luo Sha Tan Pipa, and then find the sheet music that Mr. Sima left for me." Also, this letter was sent to Zhu Po Jingzhaogong, and it must be done quickly and must not be delayed. ”

It wasn't until a blue-robed official in the Jingzhao Mansion hurriedly came out that his face, which was a little pale due to blood loss, showed a little solemnity, and before anyone could speak, he raised his hand and saluted: "Jingzhao Du Nineteen has seen Ming Gong!" ”

The green-robed official saw the seven or eight men in civilian clothes on the ground who couldn't see their injuries, and then looked at the bloodstains on Du Shiyi and the other servants, and some even hung their arms and lame legs, and couldn't help but be terrified for a while, and they lost their minds for a moment before saying: "Shicai reported that Du Langjun was robbed and killed on the way back from Luoyang, what is going on?" ”

"I wanted to enter Beijing early yesterday evening, but the city gate was closed early due to events, so I had to stay outside the city. I wanted to stay in the hostel overnight, but a hostel said that the guests were full, and I was impatient to find another house, so I stayed overnight in the land temple. The Land Temple, which didn't want to sleep temporarily, was suddenly burned down by gangsters at night, and then fought a series of battles, and finally captured these thieves with great difficulty! ”

Even if Du Shiyi didn't say that it was difficult, at this moment, everyone was watching, looking at the bloodstains on his body, and looking at the miserable appearance of those Cui Servant Zhou, Cen Qi, the judicial staff member of Jingzhao Mansion, suddenly gasped. And the surrounding crowd let out bursts of noisy exclamations and discussions, and occasionally there were people who recognized Du Jiulang and shouted loudly to inform others of his identity, which made him even more troublesome. However, before he could say anything, he saw Du Shiyi give him another hand.

"Today's Jingzhao Mansion test, Du Nineteen is too late, I don't know if I can still take the test?"

Tang Shi was not prepared for the imperial examination, not to mention that there was a reason, that is, there was no reason, it was just that he got up late and drank late, but he was confident that he could pass that one in the remaining time, and he could still knock on the door to take the exam, and the same was true for the provincial exam. However, although Cen Qi was not the examiner of the Jingzhao Mansion Examination this year, he had heard of a few of the joints, and immediately coughed dryly again: "But Du Langjun's injury, you really don't need to ask a doctor to see it first?" ”

"After this first sutra, it's not too late to diagnose and treat it! These are all Cui's servants in Luoyang Yongfeng, and they can be left as evidence. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people around the people shouted as if they were coaxing: "It's not easy for Du Langjun to rush back, hurry up and let him in!" ”

"That's it, don't waste the time of Du Langjun's exam!"

Seeing that more and more people were gathered around, and the voices of support were endless, Cen Qi thought to himself that he was a little judge from the seventh rank of the military, and there was no need to get involved in this troubled water, so he immediately said in a loud voice: "In this case, please ask Du Langjun to enter the examination field immediately!" ”

Listening to the outpouring of support, Du Sanniang bit her lip tightly for a while. When Du Shiyi patted her hand lightly and signaled her to let go of her sleeve, she instinctively let go of her hand, but when Zhuying presented the burden full of examination tools with both hands, and Qiu Niang on the side also handed over the copper kettle, she said loudly: "Brother, you must take off the head!" ”

What you give me, I will definitely do haode!

The lady of the Du family, who has always been silent, suddenly opened her mouth and said so boldly, for a while, there was silence for a moment, followed by something good and echoed: "That's right, there will be blessings after the catastrophe, I wish Du Langjun a victory!" ”

Although the ink inkstone made by Du Shiyi was hard to find in Qianbao Pavilion for a while, what made him famous among the people for a while was because of the free and open bookstore. In the two or three months after the opening of the bookstore, many new hand-copied books were added every once in a while, many of which were classics and classics that had never been seen in the bookstore market, but he copied them silently according to the memories of later generations. Therefore, after this person's voice at this moment, there was a crowd of responders, and when Du Shiyi turned around and thanked him, these drums became louder for a while.

And when Du Shiyi turned around and entered the Jingzhao Mansion, she stopped beside Du Shisanniang for a while, but said in a deep voice: "Thirteen Niang, wait for Brother to come out!" ”

There was a commotion outside for a long time, and the news that Du Jiulang was robbed and killed was also widely known in the examination hall for a while, and it was forbidden to stop it, so those scholars who thought that there was no hope at all for six out of ten were even more frequent, just waiting for people to be sent in. In such a situation, where can Liu Ximing recuperate, although he continued to sit upright calmly, fine beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead. And Du Wenruo, who was racking his brains to think about a scripture, almost hated it so much that he even broke the pen.

How did the guy who was good come out again, it was rare that he could easily get a few elders of the Du family, and he put a lot of pressure on Yu Feng!

I don't know how long it took, but someone shouted coldly: "It's here, Du Jiulang is here!" ”
