Chapter 122: The Meaning of Life
Chen Yuan was stunned: "It's not okay to have missing teeth?" What are the rules? ”
Yelune grunted and shook her head: "I don't know the rules set by my ancestors. I think, Brother Chen should be fine with one less tooth, right? ”
Chen Yuan thought about it carefully, if he could really push off the princess, what was one less tooth? It's much better than entering the palace. I looked around at the moment.
Yelu Ne grunted very strangely: "Brother Chen, what are you looking for?" ”
Chen Yuan said: "I'll find something to knock out a tooth." ”
Yelune grunted lightly: "Don't be so annoyed," As soon as he finished speaking, a punch hit Chen Yuan's mouth. He is a master, Chen Yuan couldn't hide even if he wanted to, the whole mouth was immediately beaten and bleeding, and a molar tooth really fell out of his mouth.
Chen Yuan didn't care about the pain, he hurriedly covered his mouth, and said vaguely: "Thank you!" ”
The next day, all those who had been selected to accompany the prince gathered in front of the designated palace.
Although it was auditioned, the queue was still very long, with as many as three or four hundred people. If it weren't for the princess saying that as long as she came, she would definitely let herself be an escort, Chen Yuan believed that this would not be an easy exam.
The first is to check the body. Yelu Gollum really didn't lie to Chen Yuan, and those with physical disabilities were immediately eliminated, including those with disabilities that were not obvious.
Also, it's not okay to have a crooked nose and squinted eyes, you accompany the emperor's son to study, if you look like someone is afraid when you see it, isn't it scary?
Once eliminated like this, there are not many people who can enter the main hall for the exam.
In front of Chen Yuan is a big man, judging from the black hair on his back, he must be covered with hair, but the Liao people don't care about this, in the eyes of the Liao people, the hair all over the body is a kind of might.
After waiting for more than an hour, his footsteps slowly moved forward, and Chen Yuan finally saw the face of the eunuch who was examining his body. He wasn't nervous at all now, because he didn't want to be this prince's accompaniment at all.
"Is there anything wrong with your body? If you have a problem, you will say that if you go in and be found out, you won't want to be an official in the future. The eunuch looked at the third person in front of Chen Yuan and asked.
The man said, "Father-in-law, there is a molar tooth missing, it shouldn't be in the way, right?" ”
The eunuch raised his head: "Open your mouth, I'll take a look." ”
The man opened his mouth, and the eunuch put his finger into the man's mouth, and after a circle of his gums, he said, "No, go back!" ”
The man's expression was very sad: "Father-in-law, father-in-law! It's just a molar, doesn't have to be like that, right? ”
The people who come here are all Han people from Liaodi. Although Liao Xingzong used a lot of Han people in the officialdom, for these Han people living under the iron riding of the Khitans, this position is the best shortcut.
But the father-in-law paid no heed to his pleas. Rubbing his finger on his clothes casually, he said, "Next." ”
When it came to the big man in front of Chen Yuan, the eunuch asked: "What's wrong with yourself, if you go in and see the princess on your back, your future will be ruined." ”
The big man whispered, "Father-in-law, I just have hemorrhoids, but I'm almost healed!" ”
The eunuch's brows furrowed: "Take off your pants, crawl over and I'll take a look." ”
The big man hesitated a little: "Father-in-law, there are a lot of people here, it's still ......"
The eunuch was furious: "There are no women, what are you afraid of?" Take it off! ”
The big guy took off his shirt and pants as he was told, and lay on the ground and pouted his ass high.
The eunuch used his finger to gently slide on the big man's butt twice, and then pressed it slightly, and immediately smashed the big man with a scream, and then the whole person fell down.
The eunuch said coldly: "Hmph, you still want to lie to me? Unqualified, go back! ”
After speaking, he looked at Chen Yuan and wiped the finger on his clothes just now: "What about you?" Is there something wrong? ”
Chen Yuan stared at the eunuch's finger and replied nervously, "What kind of question does my father-in-law ask?" ”
The eunuch looked at the roster: "Chen Shimei? Why don't you understand me? Is there something wrong with your body? From head to toe, small faults should also be spoken. If the princess finds out something is wrong after going in, don't blame me. ”
Chen Yuan is very conflicted now, and when he enters the door, he hopes to be eliminated on the grounds of "missing teeth". But now, he had already examined more than 200 people in front of him, all of them with the finger of this eunuch.
Check the foot plate with it, check the butt with it, check the teeth with it!
The big man's black ass in front of him was still not waved in Chen Yuan's mind, should he go to see the princess, or let the eunuch use that finger to spin around in his mouth? It's really hard to choose.
Until the eunuch asked again, Chen Yuan stared at the eunuch's finger and replied very simply: "No problem, father-in-law, I don't have any problem at all." ”
In the end, the fear in front of him still made Chen Yuan choose to give in, enter the palace and enter the palace, anyway, he didn't plan to stay for a long time, the big deal was to plan more carefully when he escaped afterwards! It's better than letting the eunuch's finger touch his mouth.
After the so-called physical examination, only the so-called literary talent test remains.
The first time Chen Yuan stepped into the inner hall, he saw Yelu Ling sitting high on the chair in front of him, looking at him with a victorious smile on his face.
He took a few steps forward to make sure that Yelu Ling could hear his voice clearly, and only after seeing his expression did he clench his fists and bowed: "Princess, you're coming down." ”
Yelu Lingling got up from the chair and slowly walked towards Chen Yuan.
She is wearing the robe of the Khitan people today, which is the tailor of the original Song Dynasty who lived in the Khitan, and on the basis of integrating the characteristics of the Khitan people, she changed it according to the style of the robes of the Song Dynasty.
The bottom hem was much shorter than that of the women of the Song Dynasty, in order to facilitate the riding of Khitan women. Because of the shortness, Chen Yuan could see her legs wrapped in riding boots.
Her calves should be rounded, and they may be a little shorter in terms of proportion, but this does not affect the appearance, and if she gets a high-rise riding boot for her to wear, it will definitely make her figure look better.
Yelu Ling's smile became stronger and stronger: "I have already informed the yamen to release people, and now those guys of yours should be waiting for you at the inn." ”
Chen Yuan clenched his fists again: "Thank you, princess." ”
Yelu Ling smiled: "This is an agreement between us, Chen Shimei, are you willing to come to the East Palace to accompany you?" ”
Chen Yuan didn't look up: "What does the princess mean by this?" ”
Yelu Lingling pressed her hand on Chen Yuan's shoulder, her head slowly leaned towards Chen Yuan's ear, and her mouth exhaled like an orchid, but the words made people very uncomfortable: "My ninth brother said that if a person like you is not sincere in taking refuge, he will definitely not do things sincerely, I am afraid that you will bring my brother badly." You tell me, is there any way to convince me that you mean it? ”
Chen Yuan didn't answer directly, but said very easily: "The villain is brave, there is a sentence, I asked for fear that the princess would be angry." ”
Yelu Ling's hand pressed his shoulder slightly: "My ninth brother said that you are sometimes bold, and it is true, you haven't answered what I asked you, but you actually have something to ask me?" Well, I forgive you for your innocence. ”
Chen Yuan asked softly: "Dare to ask the princess, are you willing to marry that Li Yuanhao?" ”
As soon as the words fell, suddenly there was a sharp pain in Chen Yuan's shoulder, and then the princess kicked and kicked Chen Yuan to the ground: "Chen Shimei! Is my business something you can ask about? ”
Chen Yuan got up from the ground, raised his eyes and looked at Yelu Lingling, she was very angry, but under her angry expression, there was inner uneasiness, fear for the future, and more helplessness. Her performance was intense, which showed that she was weak and that she had touched her sore spots.
He smiled slightly: "The princess's affairs can't be asked below, but the princess can call the shots." ”
Yelu Ling was stunned for a moment, and Chen Yuan continued: "Actually, I have to thank the princess for the next time." ”
Yelu Ling came back to her senses and said coldly, "What do you thank me?" Thank you for doing it to you? ”
Chen Yuan shook his head: "A while ago, there was a problem in my heart that has never been solved. From the time I arrived in Bianjing, no matter what I did, it was not always so smooth, and some troubles were always interrupted, which made me very distressed, and even complained about it. It wasn't until the princess gave the villain an order that I suddenly understood. ”
He paused as he spoke, and the princess asked curiously, "What do you understand?" ”
Chen Yuan approached the princess with a smile and stopped three steps in front of her: "If you really want anything, is there any meaning in our life?" What the princess understands is that the excitement of life lies in the constant accidents. When we do things that we don't want to do very successfully, we are considered successful. ”
Yelu Ling's whole person was suddenly stunned, Chen Yuan's words deeply shocked her heart, she suddenly thought, this Chen Shimei is unwilling to enter the court to be an official, when will she really marry that Li Yuanhao? Life is really like this, you always have to do something you don't want to do, but you have to do it.
Yelu Ling's eyes slowly changed when she saw Chen Yuan, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and she wanted to confide in her heart, but although the person in front of her said that he had moved his heart, he was an outsider after all, and he was still a Song person.
After a while, she let out a long sigh: "You go back,"
Chen Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, didn't she just let herself go? Before the smile bloomed, the princess continued: "Don't walk around when you go back, stay at the inn, someone will pick you up into the palace in the afternoon, and from this afternoon, you can accompany my brother to study." ”
Chen Yuan was disappointed for a while, but he could only accept this thing he didn't want to do: "Yes, obey orders." ”
Back at the inn, the guys are really back. When they saw Chen Yuan about to enter the door from a distance, they ran out of the inn, lined up in two long lines, and brought Chen Yuan into the inn like a hero.
Borrowing a little good mood from their smiling faces, Chen Yuan also laughed. No matter what, things are not too bad, this is what Chen Yuan often says.
Although it is troublesome, the chances of completing the task are much greater. The most important thing is that the most basic condition for feeling the trouble is that you are still alive, and as long as you are alive, there will always be a way to solve the trouble.
Pang Xi was most worried about the result of his trip, so he picked up a group of guys and asked, "How is it?" ”
Chen Yuan smiled: "Not bad! All went well, and I was able to go into the palace in the afternoon to accompany me. ”
He said it with a smile, but after he finished speaking, the whole hall suddenly fell silent. Hu Jing didn't know when he had gently held his hand, and those guys were also in tears one by one. Liu Tian choked twice: "The shopkeeper, we are all tired of you." ”
