Chapter 44: Clues

After Liu Hua asked for the information he wanted to know, he thought for a moment, and then he took out a piece of broken silver: "Thank you Mr. for the information, please accept these wishes, there is a word of begging below, I hope Mr. will be fulfilled."

My brother ran out because he had a lawsuit at home. Mr. has helped my brother a lot before, if this matter is known by the government, Mr. is afraid that he will suffer an unwarranted disaster, so I hope that Mr. can help me and my brother keep it secret, so as not to be entangled by the government. ”

After speaking, Liu Hua didn't wait for the scholar to refuse, he got up and left, he just did his best, as for whether the scholar listened or not, he couldn't care.

Hearing Liu Hua's words, the scholar wanted to return Liu Hua's silver to him, but he didn't expect Liu Hua to leave after speaking, looking at the silver in his hand, and then seeing the untouched letterhead, the scholar seemed to understand something? He packed up the contents of the stall and went home.

Liu Hua followed the guidance of the scholar, has been walking towards the east side, after walking a distance, he found himself on an official road, dragged a pedestrian on the road to inquire, he then learned that the original official road is leading to Chengde.

After sorting out things in his mind, Liu Hua had a vague understanding of Bai Xiaoyu's whereabouts after escaping from Baifu. Looking at the pipeline leading to Chengde in front of him, a place name came to his mind------- Shilin Villa.

Since Bai Xiaoyu said before that she was going to sue the emperor, she must find a way to meet Kangxi, the intersection from Hebei to the capital is guarded by Hu Yingzhong's people, and she can't enter the capital at all.

Even if she entered the capital, with her identity, she would not be able to see Kangxi, and she would be in danger of being caught at any time, because the environment in the capital was more complicated, and she was a weak woman and could not hide at all.

The only way is to wait for Kangxi to come out of the Forbidden City, and the current literary and opera competition in Shilin Villa is such an opportunity, at that time, Kangxi will come to watch the game in person, and will also issue rewards to the winning contestants, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Bai Xiaoyu, so she will definitely go to Shilin Villa to participate in the competition.

Thinking about the key to it, Liu Hua decided to go to Shilin Villa to find Bai Xiaoyu, he intercepted a carriage heading to Chengde on the road, said good things to the owner for a long time, and finally got on this hitchhiker.

After arriving in Chengde, it was already early the next morning, and after a night of bumping in the car, he didn't sleep well, got out of the carriage, thanked the owner, and then Liu Hua went to the locals to inquire about the direction of Shilin Villa?

Liu Hua found a young man dressed as a scholar, and asked the other party with a modest expression about the location of Shilin Villa? Hearing Liu Hua inquire about the whereabouts of Shilin Villa, the other party glanced at Liu Hua and saw that he was not very old and very handsome, and the scholar mistakenly regarded him as a scholar who went to participate in the competition.

Seeing that they were all scholars, and everyone belonged to the Sven lineage, this scholar not only told him the location of Shilin Villa, but also told Liu Hua the conditions for qualifying for the competition.

Through the introduction of the scholar, Liu Hua realized that not everyone is qualified to participate in this so-called Wenqu Competition, and if you want to qualify, you must first pass the test of the gatekeeper of the villa.

And the gatekeeper of Shilin Villa is replaced in turns, yesterday it may have been an obscure old scholar, but today it has become a certain scholar of the Guozijian, and tomorrow it will become a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Because the gatekeepers take turns to replace, outsiders can't find out their rules at all, but there is no doubt that the problems of these people are more difficult to solve than one another.

The scholar in front of Liu Hua was just brushed off yesterday, his little bit was more memorized, and he met an old scholar in his sixties, the old guy participated in the imperial examination for a lifetime, but he didn't even get a show talent, and he was beaten for a lifetime.

Yesterday, this old pedant probably thought that his daughter-in-law wanted to go crazy? The title is actually related to love, he asked everyone to use a poem of seven unique poems to describe a complete love in the world, this poem should contain longing, encounter, joy, happiness, surprise, distress, sorrow, liberation, and enlightenment.

And this poem can't be the same as the ordinary seven unique poems, most of the ordinary seven unique poems are four sentences, but this old pedant asked everyone to write this seven unique poems, at least forty sentences, as a result, yesterday more than 100 talented people and talented women who went to apply for qualifications did not pass it.

Because each person only had one chance to apply for qualifications, more than a hundred people, including this scholar, all lost the opportunity to enter Shilin Villa yesterday, and those people could only consider themselves unlucky in addition to thinking that they were unlucky.

Bidding farewell to this scholar, Liu Hua followed his guidance and walked in the direction of Shilin Villa, and at noon, he finally came to Shilin Villa.

The façade of Shilin Villa is a quiet path lined with green leaves, surrounded by flowers, trees and various plants, and the courtyard wall on hundreds of meters is covered with green plants.

Although he has not seen the scene inside the villa, just by virtue of everything in front of him, Liu Hua feels that this villa is full of primitive, peaceful, peaceful, tranquil, and a vibrant atmosphere.

When he came to the gate of the villa, he found that there were hundreds of young men and women gathered here, and all of them had a dejected expression on their faces, and in the middle of the gate of the villa, an old scholar in a burlap coat was sipping tea with a graceful face.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and said to himself, "Why are all these people with this expression on their faces?" Don't? Is it the question from the gatekeeper that is too difficult? Seeing this, he dragged a young scholar next to him and asked him what was going on?

Hearing Liu Hua's inquiry, the scholar told him with a depressed expression that the gatekeeper of Shilin Villa today was the same person as yesterday, and the topic was the same as yesterday.

While the two were talking, the old scholar saw Liu Hua, waved his hand at him, and then said in a loud voice: "New little guy, hurry up and come over to register the information, and then follow those young talents to answer the old questions." ”

The surrounding talents, seeing that another unlucky ghost was coming, all cast a sad look at Liu Hua. And Liu Hua didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes, thought about the question raised by the old scholar in his mind, and then walked towards the old man with a smile.

Seeing a confident expression on Liu Hua's face, the old pedant's eyes flashed with a hint of banter, and then his eyes stared at Liu Hua who was walking towards him without blinking.
