It can't be Murong, right?

As soon as this thought came out, Gu Qing shook his head again and immediately denied it, he was a dignified seven-foot man, standing up to the sky and the earth, how could he bend behind a small screen at this moment?

However, the person who can make the examiner offer paper is also a big man.

Before Gu Qingzuo could think deeply, Ah Huan pushed behind her, and when she looked up, she realized that it was her time to play. My heart froze slightly, the corners of my mouth bent, and I walked up head-on.

"Please write a poem with lotus seeds. ”

Gu Qing couldn't open his mouth to introduce himself, and the examiner didn't look at her, so he casually came up with a question.

Isn't this the same as writing a poem by the pond just now? After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Qing wanted to steal two sentences from the poetry collection and use them, but with the vague impression in her memory, she had already forgotten them all.

There was silence in the air.

Ah Huan was worried about her below, the examiner reviewed too many poems today, and there were many people in front of her who couldn't hold back a word for a long time, and this phenomenon has become commonplace.

"Can't do it? The examiner shouted.

The little guy on the side has already made a gesture of please.

"Ah, wait. Gu Qing hurriedly stopped, smiled embarrassedly, touched the back of his head and said, "Sir, you asked me to improvise a poem with lotus seeds as the theme, which really stumped me." Why don't we change the topic, how about using the prime minister's name as the title?"

The examiner felt inexplicable, and glanced at the little guy next to her, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, but the rules of the Xiangfu could not be broken, so he shook his head and refused: "I'm afraid this won't work." We are just subordinates, and the rules are set by each other, and we must not mess around. Miss should leave first, there are still a lot of people lined up behind. ”

"The rules are set by the prime minister? The prime minister is also an ordinary man, we are all like this, what about changing the rules?" Gu Qingqing argued confidently. There's no way, I can't write poetry, I can only play smart.

There was a sigh from the crowd in the back queue, commenting on her demeanor.

After hearing her words, the examiner and the people around her were very surprised, thinking that she was here to smash the field, and there was a kind of disdain in their eyes.

Just when the examiner was about to drive her away again, a little maid with a bun of sheep's horns came out from behind the screen, and muttered in the examiner's ear for a while, only to see him nod a little dissatisfied and ask.

"Okay, you just said that you want to use the prime minister's name as a topic?"

Facing the examiner's sudden and changed tone, Gu Qing also had a hint of luck in anticipation, look, she is always lucky, and God still favors her.

"Yes, sir. ”

"Then you start, and let me hear it first. ”

"Good. ”

Gu Qingwan smiled, after the good words were spoken, a person walked back and forth on the steps, his mind was spinning rapidly, he closed his eyes slightly, and the content of the poetry collection he had read suddenly came alive in front of him, his heart calmed down, and a poem had been formed in his mind.

She slowly opened her eyes, there was a light in her eyes, and she looked in the direction where the examiner was, and then thought that she was looking through his figure to the screen farther away.

His lips opened lightly, and he read: "Emphasizing righteousness and neglecting life, the beauty of the seven virtues is clear." The temple towel is not a remnant, and it is not allowed to talk about the road. ”

Everyone present was stunned, even Ah Huan opened her mouth wide and felt incredible, oh my God, is this still the stupid third lady of her family?

"How?" she asked, smiling.

The examiner thought she was joking, just to give herself a step down, but she didn't expect that she really wrote such a poem.

Read it carefully, it's catchy. The prime minister's name, Murong, is indeed included.

"Wonderful. ”

The examiner only said one word, and this single word was enough to see his approval of the poem, so he hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and copied the poem and handed it to the person behind the screen.

After a while, it was the girl with a bun who came over, she faced Gu Qing, and said in a childish voice: "This poem is good." I would like to ask what is the name of this young lady?"

"Gu Qing. "Just two words, no procrastination.

It seemed to be asked for the person behind the screen, and the maid glanced at that place, leaned over to Gu Qing and said, "Miss is really literate." Let's come to tonight's banquet. ”

"I'm tired. ”

Gu Qing was satisfied, waved her hand to Ah Huan at the bottom of the steps and asked her to come up, and the two entered the Prime Minister's Mansion under the leadership of the maid.

It was only later that Ah Huan asked her, why could she make such a good poem?

Gu Qing cleared his throat and said casually: "A few days ago, I looked at the words that were pulled out of the poetry collection, I had already prepared this poem, but fortunately I had this opportunity to make it born." ”

"What if that gentleman doesn't give you a second chance?" asked Huan again.

Gu Qing smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Then we won't be able to pass the test, so we can only go home with a disgraced face." ”

But fortunately, she was given a chance.

The moment she stepped in from the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she turned her head slightly sideways, and happened to see the figure behind the screen, a touch of skirt corners, and hair that was blown away by the wind.

She saw clearly that it was the woman who played the music on the painting boat that day.

Why her?

The doubts in his heart didn't have time to wait for Gu Qing to think about the answer, and his footsteps had already walked forward.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the carved beams and painted buildings, the ten-mile pavilions meander and twist, the layout between the small pavilions is cleverly conceived, and the flower-like scenery of the garden makes people shine.

The maid who led the way led her to the open space in the garden, where there was a feast full of wine, and there were maids pouring wine and laughing and laughing. The literati and artists who had passed through the pass before all gathered here to drink and have fun. After looking around for a week, Gu Qing found that there were mostly men at this banquet, and she was only five women.

Most of them are for the sake of being close to the trap, and it is necessary to seek a job as an official.

The seats were arranged in the order of customs clearance, and in front of Gu Qing sat the scholar with a crepe scum, and after seeing the woman beside him, he looked very surprised and asked, "You also came in?"

"Yes. Gu Qing put on his signature smile, but in his mind he fantasized about hacking this scholar to death, looking at the tone of his voice, it was like she was not qualified to come in.

Xu is aware that his tone was a little inappropriate, and he sneered: "What I mean below is that being able to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion means that the young lady is not only good-looking, but also has excellent literary talent." ”

“...... Childe laughed. This compliment came too quickly, Gu Qing was a little stunned, and had to laugh dryly.

"My name is Yanan, I don't know Miss's name?" This man named Yanan did not have a jade tree in the wind, and he did not have a radiant spirit, but there was an indifferent air between his eyebrows, as if he was a humble gentleman.

At this moment, Gu Qingcai looked at her carefully, and her appearance was also handsome, but the feeling of first sight was not so obvious.

"The surname Gu, a single name, a clear character. ”

"Miss Gu, isn't it the daughter of Master Gu, the Imperial Doctor?" he said, raising his eyebrows.

"Exactly. What about you?"

Yanan pulled his lips and said as if laughing at himself: "I'm just a grass farmer, I have studied hard for more than ten years, and now I haven't even been admitted to a single fame." Poor my old father, who wanted his son to become a Chan, died with hatred last year. ”

"Why is this?" Gu Qing couldn't imagine what the failure to get fame in the exam had to do with the death of his old father.

"Heh, what if the world changes its master? Officials protect each other and secretly cover up bribes, just because my family is poor and I can't pay the bribes for the official position, and I have been suppressed by others. My father, just because he went to the official to theorize, was beaten and scolded, and he was angry to death. ”

Speaking of the back, Yanan raised his voice, and his mood became even higher, full of indignation, but unable to do anything.

Gu Qing felt some sympathy in his heart, so he asked, "Do you know who that official is?"

"His name is ......"

Before Yanan could say the name of the official, he was interrupted by a loud noise.

"You low-level civilians, it's your blessing to be here, give it to the uncle, sit obediently, don't really treat yourself as a guest. ”

A frantic voice came from the corridor on one side, and the voice was particularly loud in the banquet table, and everyone looked up, only to see a group of people blocking the entrance of the corridor, constantly shouting and shouting.

Gu Qing grabbed a maid who came over there and asked, "It's noisy over there, what's going on?"

"I heard that someone made the son of Chen Fu angry, and now he is being punished. The maid told her what she saw.

"Do you know what's going on?"

The maid frowned, and said uncertainly: "It seems that the person who was beaten was a little offended by Chen Fu in words, said something that should not be said, and happened to be heard by Chen Gongzi, which caused trouble." ”

"Chen Mansion, that Chen family's son's name is Chen Yu?" Gu Qing thought of this name, and the Chen Mansion in the capital was their family.

"Yes. ”

Hearing this name, Yanan's fingers clenched slightly on the desk, and his expression also showed a hint of forbearance.

Gu Qingwei didn't notice it, got up and walked towards the entrance of the corridor, Ah Huan followed, and reminded her in her ear: "Miss, I think you should not go, the last time I married Chen Mansion caused a storm in the city, and Chen Mansion also said that you were infected with a bad disease in order to save your face." If you run forward to interfere this time, maybe Chen Gongzi will throw some dirty pot at you. ”

"So what?" she disagreed, her face was calm, and she still walked forward with her steps, and said in her mouth: "Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." ”

The entrance of the corridor was full of people inside and out, and Chen Yu's shouting and scolding could still be heard, Gu Qing squeezed in through a small gap, and saw a man who had been stripped naked and knocked to the ground, covered with piercing blood marks, and begging for mercy in his mouth.

"Yo, wasn't it quite horizontal just now?" Chen Yu took the long whip and slapped it lightly on his hand, his face was arrogant, and he couldn't help but look at the people on the ground.

The man lying on the ground looked pained and kept muttering, "Don't dare, I don't dare anymore......"
