The sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue.

It's another spring, the spring of Jiangnan.

Everywhere is green, the grass is green, the spring breeze blows in the wilderness, everything is renewed, and it is a new year.

There is water everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, by the Taihu Lake in Wujiang County, Suzhou, the sunset is setting, the sunset on the horizon is reflected on the surface of the lake, and it is beautiful to see the red and glamorous.

The lake is very large, with a radius of 1,000 acres, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

The sunset shone on the lake, the sky was dyed with golden light, the farthest skyline seemed to be faint, and the breeze on the water in the distance brought ripples, like golden fish jumping on the water. The mountains reflect the slanting sun and the sky is connected to the water, and the sky is high and refreshing, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

There were two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls standing on the boat, the sun was setting, the two of them were in a boat, the shadows were full of shadows, and it was picturesque.

One of them was tall, with a goose egg face, a fair complexion, hair like a crow's feather, and a peach pink dress, and she was quite a beautiful girl. The other is of medium stature, with big eyes and a round face, dressed in a green shirt, which is amiable and quite cute and pleasant.

The peach-pink girl rowed and looked at the green-clothed girl, who was usually very lively, but at this time she was quite quiet, rowing there without a pair, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Ah Xiu, what are you thinking?" The peach-clad girl asked.

The girl named Ah Xiu looked at the fair-skinned and beautiful face of the girl opposite, came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "I was wondering, who will have such a good fortune to marry our beautiful and capable girl Ah Yin in the future!" ”

"Stinky girl, make fun of me, see how I fix you." As she spoke, a girl named Ah Yin blushed and wanted to come over and twist Ah Xiu's ears, but Ah Xiu hurriedly dodged, and the boat immediately shook.

Ah Xiu hurriedly said: "I won't say anything, don't move, the boat is rocking." Ah Yin let Ah Xiu go, stabilized the boat, and the two settled.

The boat continued to row toward the shore, and the stern of the boat rippled.

"But seriously, Ayin, everyone can see Li Zheng's intentions."

Ah Yin is the only daughter of Tan Jun, the master of Qingsong Academy, a private school in Baixi Township, by the lake, Ah Xiu's surname is Zhang, and she is her best friend, and her father is also the gentleman of Qingsong Academy. There are dozens of gentlemen in Qingsong Academy, and it is a well-known private school in the Wujiang area.

The college trains a large number of students, many of whom are admitted to Xiucai, and some are even admitted to the Juren. Wujiang scholars are proud to be able to enter Qingsong Academy, and there are also some students from neighboring counties, among whom there are quite a few talented and intelligent students.

Tan Jun is not confused, erudite and elegant, and is deeply loved by his students and students. His wife, Gao, was born in Hangzhou, a wealthy businessman, gentle and virtuous. There are many industries in the Gao family, and Qingyuntang, the largest pharmacy in Hangzhou, is the Gao family's industry.

The couple are very affectionate, and there is only one daughter under their knees, so they naturally regard it as a pearl in their palms, but the couple is not spoiled.

Although everyone said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, Tan Jun disagreed, and let her daughter also attend classes in a private school, so that her daughter could know right from wrong.

Mrs. Tan's family history is good at medicine. Tan Jun said that a woman's life is not easy, and there is not much work she can do, so Tan Yin can follow her mother to learn medicine, but she has achieved a little success.

The most outstanding person among the students of Qingsong Academy, named Li Zheng, is talented and good-looking, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve. He is the same age as Tan Yin, and the two have always been interested.

Tan Jun and his wife know that the two have affection for each other, it stands to reason that both of them are very open-minded, Li Zheng is extremely good, and he is Tan Jun's protégé, but what puzzles Tan Yin is that his father doesn't seem to be particularly happy.

Ah Xiu also felt very strange, Li Zheng was deeply appreciated by Tan Jun, although his family was poor, but with Tan Jun and his wife, of course he wouldn't mind, and he couldn't figure out why.

"Ah Xiu, you know my intentions, but my father seems to have concerns, and his mother also ......" Tan Yin frowned and expressed her concerns when she saw Ah Xiu say this.

Although Li Zheng was born in poverty, and Tan Yin's family background and appearance are impeccable in this countryside, Li's mother does not want her son to marry too early, and wants him to enter the department as soon as possible.

"Ah Yin, maybe Uncle Tan just wants you to stay by his side for a little more time, after all, not every parent has such a smart and clever daughter, but our brother Zheng can only look at it......" Ah Xiu sighed in his heart, but in the face of his best friend, he could only comfort and joke.

"But I don't think my father thinks like this, and I don't know what Aunt Li thinks." Tan Yin was a little depressed.

"Regardless of them, do you still need to say what Li Zheng thinks about you!"

"I know what he has in mind for me, but I also know that he has bigger ambitions." Although Tan Yin knew Li Zheng's intentions, she had never heard him mention that the Li family wanted to come to the Tan family to propose marriage.

The afterglow of the sunset shone on the face of this beautiful girl, and the golden orange red reflected the fair skin, adding a bit of softness.

"The Li family is poor, I think Li Zheng doesn't want you to be wronged, and after the high school test in another country, you will propose marriage in a beautiful manner." Ah Xiu comforted while rowing.

"I hope so!" Tan Yin didn't think of this, and knew that Ah Xiu was comforting her.

......

The boat was getting closer and closer to the shore, and suddenly heard a voice from the shore, "Ayin, Axiu!" It was Li Zheng and his classmate Zhang Ziqing.

Ah Yin and the others quickly stood up and saw Li Zheng and the others waving at them on the shore.

The two of them went ashore, "Why do the two sons have time to come over today!" Ah Xiu smiled and asked, "Don't you need to talk about politics and the country anymore?" ”

"Do you want to do state affairs and family affairs?" Li Zheng smiled: "There are rules that students can't come to play? Study tours, study tours, travel and learning! ”

"You two don't have to study today?" Tan Yin asked.

Li Zheng looked at Tan Yin and replied, "The teacher said to let me go out for a walk with Ziqing and relax and relax." ”

Zhang Ziqing continued: "Ru Cheng and I are going to take the township test, and the master said that let's prepare well, and we will not be detained today." ”

Li Zheng's name is Zheng, and the word Rucheng. Mother Li raised her with hard work, and her expectations can be seen from the name, naturally she hopes that her son will be named on the gold list, become a high-ranking official, and be named Mrs. Destiny, that is the glory of the ancestors.

Li Zheng had no father, and his mother brought him to the village when he was seven years old, and no one knew where they came from. Some people in the village ridiculed Li Zheng's unknown background, and some people even said that his mother was extremely unbearable, Tan Yin could understand Li Zheng's mood of urgently needing to prove himself, "The court is Tian Shelang, and the evening is the Tianzi Hall", the imperial examination is undoubtedly the best way.

He has a long figure, a handsome face, and is wearing a white-washed cyan robe, Xu is studying hard, and his cheeks are thin, which makes Tan Yin feel distressed for a while.

The breeze blew and lifted Tan Yin's pink clothes, like peach blossoms in full bloom, with dotted petals. I think it was rowing just now, and my face was even more ruddy, and my lips were dripping.

Suddenly, the sentence "The peach is dying, scorching its bloom." The son is returning, and it is appropriate for his room to be at home" flashed in his mind, and Li Zheng couldn't help but blush.

Tan Yin saw that he suddenly blushed, not only puzzled, but Li Zheng saw Tan Yin looking at him, and his face turned even redder.

Ah Xiu dragged his cousin Zhang Ziqing to walk in front with him, letting Li Zheng and Tan Yin follow behind, and several people walked along the lake towards the village.

"Ru Cheng, how are you ready?" Tan Yin asked.

"I've been studying for so long, and I've finally achieved a small success, and the master said that there should be hope for the township test, but the Beijing test is too close to each other, and the difficulty is not small." Li Zheng smiled and comforted her.

"Isn't it okay to wait until the next Beijing test? There is only less than a year between the township test and the Beijing test, and don't they usually wait for three years before taking the test? Tan Yin worried.

"You don't know, there is a new situation this year, and there will be news in a few days." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"It's just, it's just that you're working too hard like this, you're ...... thinner than last time" Tan Yin looked at the thin Li Zheng and said distressedly.

"It's okay, I must pass the exam and live up to Mr.'s expectations." Li Zheng said.

"What did you just say was new?"

"I've heard some people say that after the Beijing test next year, there may be a talent selection, that is, another selection, which has never been done before."

"Picked? Is this equivalent to one more chance? ”

"Exactly, the capital will be very lively this winter and next spring, and talented people from all over the world will gather in Beijing."

Tan Yin naturally understands what this means to the world's scholars, and no one asks about it for ten years, and a bang shocks the world. Li Zheng worked so hard, he had to make up for him, but he couldn't get sick and cold.

Approaching the village, Tan Yin was not good to be with Li Zheng anymore, so she dragged Zhang Xiu and the two together.

The sun sets, the evening breeze blows, and the tired birds return to their nests.
