After a month or two of sleeping in the open air, I finally arrived in Kyoto before the first four years of exam preparation and lived with the students who came with me.

Some students come from remote places, and they have never seen the prosperity of Kyoto, and there are also the encouragement of others, so they go to enjoy the elegance of Kyoto without studying all day long.

"Brother Pan, you read all day long, beware of reading your brain stupidly. Let's go out with us to see the rich and gentle countryside outside. The person who spoke was Pan Jing from a mansion city, and his family was very rich, and he funded everything for the accommodation of several people, and Pan Jing benefited from it.

Pan Jing saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he agreed, and went to watch the flower boat performance with them in the evening.

"That's right, the day after tomorrow will try, take advantage of today to relax for a day, in order to meet the next battlefield in a better state." Gao Huaiyuan said with a smile. The two of them are not bad looking, one is noble, the other is sleek and sophisticated, and a pair of eyes always smile when they look at people.

Several people met together on the road, and they didn't know each other for more than a month, but Gao Huaiyuan was sure that Pan Jing would definitely go to high school. Making friends one or two in advance will also be beneficial to him in the future. Not only Pan Jing, in just two days after he came to Kyoto, he had already met many outstanding students from other universities, and he was also invited by him for the night.

Kyoto at night is more lively than during the day, and the river is full of flower boats on each floor, on which there are people performing all kinds of tricks, just looking at it, there is a visual enjoyment, not to mention the singing and maiko of the people, and often you don't have time to appreciate this, so you can't wait to listen to that.

Gao Huaiyuan specially rented a big boat and invited the students to get on the boat and enjoy the scenery along the way. He also invited a few musicians to play their best tunes for everyone to enjoy.

Pan Jing had never seen such a grand event, and after admiring the other buildings, he closed his eyes and listened to the music in front of him.

It was played by a young girl with a red scarf tied around her face, and several students around him were betting with each other that the woman opposite was beautiful or ugly.

The beauty is a must, so why bother with being beautiful or ugly! Pan Jing only felt that there was a group of mediocre talents around him, and he would not appreciate the beauty. Although he himself is mediocre, he also knows that the beauty of beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. If there is a beautiful skin, but there is no beauty in the soul, there is no difference between ugliness.

As soon as the beauty finished the song, some people coaxed to take off the veil and let them see, if they looked beautiful, they would give a lot of rewards.

The beauty did not go according to everyone's wishes, but came up with a question, asking everyone to write a poem on the spot.

The students geared up on the spot and asked the beauty to solve the question quickly.

After the beauty saw the moonlight, she said the title, and said a few words to rhyme, and asked everyone to compose an eight-character poem within the time of a pillar of incense.

The students present would not scratch their ears and cheeks in front of the beauty, but the frowning action made it clear that it was quite difficult to make a poem that entered the scene within the time limit.

Pan Jing also pondered for a long time before blurting out a poem that rhymed neatly.

After listening to other people's masterpieces, and then listening to Pan Jing's poems, the students were suddenly refreshed, and when he finished reading a poem, the students applauded.

Pan Jing finished writing the poem and saw that it was not too early, and said goodbye to everyone and prepared to go into the cabin to rest. As he was leaving, the beauty stopped him.

"Childe's poem is very much to my liking, I don't know if I would like to go to the boat to talk for a while. My boat is over there, and there is only one captain. "Beauty invited.

Pan Jing arched his hand and said: "The lady doesn't need to be polite, you and I are just fate, you don't have to make a deep relationship, the day after tomorrow is a big test, and I don't have time to accompany you." ”

"It's just a short while, and I don't miss my son's reading time." Beauty doesn't give up.

Pan Jing repeatedly excused himself, "No need, the lady can invite other people." Like the boy next to you, the poems are better than mine, and the lady can please him. ”

The person Pan Jing refers to is none other than Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan knew that Pan Jing was now focusing on reading, and if he continued to make trouble, today's excitement would be dissipated, so he stepped forward and said: "Lady, my friend is a full reader, and he can't leave books for a moment. I was able to come here today, and it was also a long time before I dropped my books and came out to relax. ”

The beauty no longer insisted, but just stared at Pan Jing's departing figure, saying pity in her heart. I finally met a fairly good scholar, who turned out to be a nice nerd.

Pan Jing ignored everything behind him and threw himself on the book. In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the big test. There was a long queue outside the Tribute Courtyard, and the students quietly lined up to enter the Tribute Courtyard.

It was another three consecutive days of taking the exam, and Pan Jing, who had experienced a township test, was no stranger. But it will be just autumn, and the weather is not too cold, so it is still bearable to stay in the examination room for three consecutive days. But now, at the beginning of spring, the weather is still very cold, and his hand holding the pen trembles slightly. After writing for a while, I have to rub my hands when it is cold before I can continue to write.

Once you're in the realm of self-forgetfulness, the weather isn't a distraction.

Pan Jingfen writes books, and some difficult topics can only be thought about while writing. At the end of the paper, there was still a big problem that had not been answered.

Because Pan Jing has a good mentality, he just came to the scene with the attitude of giving it a try. Some people in the same examination room were not in such a good mood, some fainted, and some had frozen and had a high fever and shouted not to carry themselves out.

After three days of consecutive exams, the students were anxiously waiting for the announcement of the release of the results.

On the day of the release of the list, someone looked at the list for Pan Jing and found that he was on the list, so he went back to report the good news to him.

After sending out the people who reported the good news one after another, Pan Jing had time to look at the list in person, and found that he was not at the end of the list, and he could be regarded as the middle of the list, and when he passed the palace test in April, he should be awarded an official position.

Pan Jing is not in vain this time, he has to wait for another three years, three years after three years, how many three years can he wait for in his life!

In the courtyard behind the Shangshu Mansion, a maid walked briskly into the courtyard gate, crossed the threshold, and came to a woman who was painting.

The young maid: "Fourth lady, hit, hit." ”

"Whoever hits, you can tell clearly." The maid standing beside the woman asked.

"It was the young lady Pan who met that day." The young maid gasped, and when she learned from her mother that Pan Gongzi had been hit, she rushed to the side of the fourth lady without stopping.

"It's not unusual for him to be able to win with his talent." The fourth lady listened to the maid's words and was still sketching the painting in her hand.

The young maid preached, "That is, the person who can be favored by the fourth lady must not be bad, but I don't know if his family has a wife's room, where is the home?" I'll ask my mother to inquire about it. ”

The fourth lady put down her pen, and the young maid was stunned for a moment, how beautiful the four ladies of her family looked. Emei is lightly swept, the eyes are like a phoenix, the cherry mouth is not stained and red, the most memorable thing is that pair of watery eyes, like a pool of clear water, clean to the bottom.

"What's wrong, is there anything on my face?" The fourth lady asked.

The young maid lowered her head and looked at the painting on the table, "It's nothing, the fourth lady's painting is really good, like a cold plum coming back and directly placed on this pine table."
