Chapter 230: The Story of the Past

In the hands of the monks, there is a white-green, mixed bracelet, the style of the bracelet is very ordinary, with this color can even be said... Shabby.

But Lin Luo was stunned, she looked at the bracelet in front of her in a daze, and a tear crossed her cheek.

Lin Luo hurriedly came back to his senses and wiped away the tears on his cheeks,

What's wrong with you? Why would I shed tears for such an ordinary bracelet, and there was an inexplicable heartache in my heart, like a knife twisting.

"Ah Yue! Sure enough, it's you! ”

The monk said in a trembling voice.

"Qing... Brother Qing? ”

Lin Luo didn't know what to do, and this name popped up in his head.

The monk burst into tears of excitement and wanted to step forward to hug Lin Luo.

Lin Luo subconsciously took a step back, making him pounce.

"Don't come here!"

Lin Luoliu raised his eyebrows, and his face was a little unsightly.

"Oh, idiot."

There was a sigh outside the door, and an old monk with a hunched waist walked in.

"Abbot Yuanmori."

The monk folded his hands together and bowed lightly.

"You're polite."

The old monk also returned the salute.

"What the hell are you calling me here!"

Lin Luo asked coldly.

Bai Jiahao also nodded, blocking in front of Lin Luo.

"Donor, please sit down and listen to me speak slowly."

"This matter has to start from the last years of the Qing Dynasty... At that time, there was a small mountain village at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and the people in the village lived and worked in peace and contentment, although every family was not rich, but at least they were well clothed and fed, and they had land to plant, which was already a rare happiness in that troubled era. ”

There is a beautiful girl in the village, and there is not a young man in the village who does not want to marry her, and it is said that her beauty is comparable to that of a fairy in the sky. And this flower was picked by a man in the same village, the man is Xie Yuan (the first in the Qing Dynasty township test), and the girl has known each other since childhood, childhood sweethearts, and the two have been in love for a long time.

But the man wanted to win a higher reputation, and he promised the girl that when he came back from the examination in Beijing, he would definitely come back to marry her in style.

At the time of parting, the two exchanged love tokens, the girl gave the man a handkerchief embroidered by himself, and the man gave the girl the only bracelet of his own value.

A year has passed, and the man has not heard at all, not even a letter.

The girl comforted herself and said, it is estimated that he has just arrived in the capital at this time, don't have an accident, just come back well.

Another year, the girl is already twenty years old, in that era at the age of sixteen can be married, twenty years old is already considered an old leftover girl.

But there are more and more people who come to the door to propose marriage, and her parents persuade her to choose a family to marry as soon as possible, so waiting is not a thing.

But the girl didn't listen, and was still waiting for the man to return home.

In the third year, just when she thought that the man would never come back, an adult from a nearby county sent a message.

"The position of champion has been obtained, and when it is time to return home, I will marry you."

The girl burst into tears with excitement, and the people in the village also heard that there was a champion in the village, and they all gathered together to hold a banquet for a few days and nights.

When the man left the township, he slept all the way, and carefully reviewed the information for the exam, but it took more than a year to rush to the capital, but he had no entanglement, and could only be a junior in a restaurant.

After doing the heavy work during the day, read at night with the lights up.

When the owner of the restaurant saw that he was dignified and studied so hard, he secretly admired him and wanted to marry his daughter to him.

The man naturally refused, but the boss did not get angry, but gave him some money and told him to take the exam.

Finally on the day of the exam, the unmath student stood outside the examination room and waited, the man had an indifferent face and a tall posture.

Walking into the examination room and sitting in it, he was different from other students who were writing and thinking.

The man closed his eyes and thought quietly until the last half hour of the exam, when he finished writing with enthusiasm, handed over the answer sheet to the invigilator, turned away, and didn't even look at it a second time.

The man who returned to the restaurant was quietly doing his second job, and the boss took the time to ask him how he did in the exam, and he only showed a faint smile and an ambiguous answer.

"It's okay."

The results of the examination came out, and the man won the "Huiyuan" (the first place in the examination), and by now he has even won the double yuan, and he is a well-known talent in the capital.

But he is still not impetuous, not arrogant, he still does his job during the day, and many local eunuchs have extended olive branches to him, but they have been politely rejected by men.

The daughter of a prince, I heard that there was such a strange person, and she came to this restaurant curiously to see this shopkeeper who was even in the middle of the double yuan.

In the conversation between the two, this Gege inadvertently showed his identity, but the man's attitude towards her was still the same, which made her interested, after chatting with him, this Gege couldn't help but praise his maid, this person is arrogant, brilliant, not a person who sells fame and reputation.

In the blink of an eye, another season has passed, and the tributes who have passed the examination will participate in the palace examination presided over by the emperor himself.

One by one, the tributes walked slowly into the palace hall, and the poor people in the luxurious palace surrounded by carved beams and pillars were amazed.

The tributes are also divided into two camps, one is a family of eunuchs, who have been officials for generations, and the other is poor children, all of whom came here with the idea of entering the court as officials and glorifying their ancestors.

The man is naturally in this group of poor children, the exam by the emperor himself is naturally not so easy, even if he tries his best, there is no bottom in his heart, the man's hand trembled slightly, and a little bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he did not give up, at this tense moment, he let go of his hand, took out a handkerchief in his arms, and showed a smile on his face.

He placed his handkerchief on the table and wrote a poem with a pen.

The Case of Green Jade

The new question of the colored pen breaks the intestines, if you ask how much sorrow is there? A Sichuan tobacco, full of wind and flocculents.

Plum yellow when it rains...

The emperor browsed the poems written by the talented people one by one, and most of them were to praise the greatness of the country or express his determination to serve the country.

alone is mixed with a song "Qingyu Case" full of longing, which makes him really curious.

So the emperor specially called him to come and asked him a few questions about the current living conditions of the people and the prosperity of the country.

Then he asked the others one by one, but none of them had the man's opinion, where would the children of the eunuchs go out of their way to understand the people's suffering, and the poor children buried their heads in hard work, lacking the necessary knowledge and opinions about the conditions for the prosperity of the country, and the man's answer was the most satisfactory to him.

The emperor announced on the spot that the man was the champion, which means that the man won three yuan in a row and was recorded.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and said, "I will allow you to enter the court as an official and serve me immediately!" ”

The man paused, bowed his head, and said,

"Minister, forgive me!"
