"Three provinces of the book" before and after two into, the main house has a building, there are patio two compartments, the old laurel in front of the door leans against the wall, the wisteria frame, quite elegant, the book house is far away to Xihua Mountain, near the Baihua Pond, the door forehead book "three provinces bookhouse" four seal characters.

Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi followed the old Taoist priest Yuan Gang and Xiao Daogu naturally into the door of the study house, and heard someone talking and laughing in the hall, and the voice of one of them Zeng Yu sounded very familiar, and he couldn't help but stagnate, and listened intently-

That little Dao Gu always paid attention to Zeng Yu, and when she saw Zeng Yu's sluggish steps, she was immediately annoyed, and glared at Zeng Yu with her eyes fiercely, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter, the manuscript is lost?" ”

Zeng Yu pressed his stomach and said, "Here I am - I heard the voice of a senior in my hometown, which is a little strange." ”

While speaking, the entrance hall suddenly looked at it, Zeng Yu's eyes searched, there were four official tables in the hall, twelve backrest circle chairs, there were seven circle chairs sitting on people, the first one on the right sat an old squire wearing a Dongpo scarf and wearing a collar with big sleeves and a straight jacket, this old squire was a little hunchbacked and had big bags under his eyes, isn't it Zhishi Hanlin Lu Huai of Xishan in Yongfeng County?

Zeng Yu was a little stunned, didn't he ask Sixi and Laifu to return to Yongfeng County three days ago to find Lu Hanlin, but Lu Hanlin came to Longhu Mountain

The six people in the hall saw that an old Taoist priest with a fairy wind and a few people came in, Lu Huai and another old gentleman with a crown and belt immediately stood up and said, "The old mage is even better than in the past, congratulations." ”

The old Taoist Yuan Gang said: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Hong, poor and polite. ”

Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi followed and saluted, Lu Huai didn't pay attention to these two students at first, and saw one of them shouting at him: "Mr. Lu, the student Zeng Yu is polite." Lu Huai took a closer look and said in surprise: "You are Zeng Yu, why are you here?" His eyes swept Zeng Yu's clothes and smiled: "You passed the make-up exam, very good, very good." ”

Zeng Yu bowed down and said: "Mr. Yu, the student took the make-up examination in Yuanzhou Mansion on the second day of the sixth month, and was appreciated by the Grandmaster and allowed me to enter the school. ”

Lu Huai was very happy, the person he recommended passed the make-up examination, he also felt that his face was bright, and said to the others in the hall: "I just talked to you about the new Dali Temple Shaoqing Wu Baipeng Wu, this little friend surnamed Zeng has a lot of roots with Wu Shaoqing, ten years ago Wu Shaoqing was still in Renzhi County, Xianxian County, once held a prodigy banquet, Zeng Xiaoyou was nine years old at the time, and composed on the spot, so that Wu Zhixian was greatly admired, praised as the Lingzhi Treasure Tree, the little prodigy of the year finally entered school this year, Wu Shaoqing can be described as a giant eye. ”

It's just a small student, what kind of giant eye, and it's not a Zhongjin sergeant, the other squires praised Zeng Yu perfunctorily on Lu Hanlin's face, and then they each said something they were interested in.

Lu Huai was very interested in Zeng Yu's experience of making up for the exam, and walked aside with Zeng Yu to ask about the experience, Zeng Yu roughly said, Lu Huai sighed with emotion: "It's really not easy, it's hard for you to suffer a lot." Then he asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "The student and his mother and young sister temporarily live in Yingtan friend's house. Zheng Shi, who was standing beside Yuangang Lao Dao, pointed out, "It is that Zheng Shengyuan, who is a close friend of the student, and the student wanted to rush back to his hometown immediately when he came back from Yuanzhou, but it was not clear whether the documents that Huang Ti had allowed me to study had arrived in Yongfeng County, so the student first wrote a letter to send Xiaojie back to Yongfeng to meet the old man, and wanted to ask the old gentleman about Confucianism Sun Jiao, whether the documents for the student to study had arrived, and he met the old gentleman here, the student was here with Zheng Shengyuan to play, and met the old master of Yuangang in the Dashang Qing Palace, The old master said that there is a couplet meeting in the Dazhen Mansion today, so he asked the two students to participate in it, which is really a coincidence. ”

Lu Huai said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I happened to meet the old man yesterday, and I will return to Yongfeng on the fifth day of the first month, so why don't you go back to your hometown with the old man on the same boat."

Zeng Yu said: "The student's mother and young sister also want to go back together, I don't know if it's inconvenient?" ”

Lu Huai said: "The boat sent by Zhang Zhenren to pick me up is quite spacious, it doesn't hurt to take a few more people, it will arrive in two days, let's go back together, the official documents are delivered very quickly, and your study documents should have arrived early." ”

At this time, all the gentry in the hall stood up one after another, but it was Zhang Zhenren who came in with three officials in regular clothes, looking at the official robes and complementing the patterns, one was Yun Yan, four products; One is a heron, six pins; There is another one, Qipin, Zeng Yu heard the squires present call these three people "Lin Zhifu", "Wu Tongju", "Zhou Zhi County", and knew that this was Lin Guangzu, the prefect of Guangxin Mansion, and Wu Shiliang, the general judge, Zhou Zhi County should be Guixi Zhi County, and asked Zheng Shi quietly, sure enough-

These three are all current officials, although an old squire like Lu Hanlin was above the prefect in terms of official rank and rank, but he has been in office for many years, and few people know him on the street, where is the current official majestic, Zhang Zhenren is extraordinarily courteous to Lin Prefect, Wu Tongju, and Zhou Zhixian, which is also human, no wonder.

Zeng Yu followed behind Lu Hanlin and saluted to the three current officials, and secretly looked at Zhang Yongxu Zhang Zhenren, who was the same age as him, this ten-year-old Zhang Zhenren who was the heir to the throne wore a crown of heaven, wearing a royal robe, with sparse eyebrows and a heroic spirit, Zeng Yu said in his heart: "It is said that this Zhang Zhenren is fond of room art and swordsmanship——"

Just as he was thinking like this, the soap silk on his back was suddenly pulled, Zeng Yu looked back, Xiaodaogu's eyes were shining, and his lips moved lightly: "Stand behind my senior brother, you are the person I brought, don't jump around." After that, this little Dao Gu herself quickly stood beside the old Dao Yuangang first, and stood with the little Dao boy brought by the old Dao on the left and right.

Zeng Yu saw that Zheng Shi was also behind Yuangang Lao Dao, so he walked over and stood together, there are only twelve circle chairs in this hall, and those who are here are not current officials, or the big squires who live with the crown and idle, how can the students be qualified to sit, it is an honor to stand here, Zhang Yongxu just saw Zeng Yu and Zheng Shi, and he didn't even ask, but it was a little strange how did the two students come in?

Zeng Yu noticed that Zhang Yongxu was staring at Xiao Daogu, there seemed to be some helplessness in his eyes, and he quickly looked away, Zeng Yu stood behind Xiao Daogu, and could only see Xiao Daogu's back, I don't know what Xiao Daogu's expression was? Xiao Daogu's identity is really mysterious.

Zhang Yongxu said that he would replace the pillar couplets at the head gate of the Dazhen Mansion, and asked all the erudite sages to draw up a good couplet, and I would like to be grateful.

Zeng Yu smiled secretly in his heart: "This real person is young after all, maybe he is a doctor who specializes in Chinese medicine and swordsmanship, and he is not very good at Hanmo, how can the couplet be drafted together, only each person will draft it separately, and then choose a good couplet from it, but in this case, the loser is afraid that he will be a little disliked." ”

The squire Hong, who is known as the imperial history of the left capital, said: "Zhang Zhenren, it is inconvenient to draft the couplet, or to recommend a person who is highly respected and superb in words. ”

Lu Huaiqian said: "The old man is not good at couplets, so let's talk about Brother Hong." ”

So you pushed me to let me, and I couldn't decide who would write this couplet for a long time, Xiao Daogu naturally looked so angry and sullen, and suddenly said: "This Zeng Xiucai has already prepared a couplet, so it's better to let him throw bricks and lead the jade." Flashed behind Zeng Yu, pushed Zeng Yu on the back, Zeng Yu took two steps forward, and was in full view.
