Chapter Eighty-Five: Ordinary People Have to Sleep at Night
"The law of Daqian prohibits folk boxing, although the performance earns a living, those officials and city guards will not come to arrest them, but this is the capital of Yujing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you perform martial arts, maybe it will really attract soldiers and cause unnecessary trouble. Besides, I see that this girl is still young, and she is also pitiful for sleeping in the open air, so you can take this money and rent a house to live in, do some small business, and live a more stable life. ”
Seeing that Lin Xi didn't seem to have the intention of speaking, Hong Yi stepped forward and smiled mildly at the stunned old man.
After a long time, the old man came back to his senses, "Dare to ask Gongzi's surname?"
"I am Hong Yi from the Marquis of Wuwen's Mansion. ”
"Marquis Wuwen's Mansion..."As soon as he heard the Marquis Wuwen's Mansion, the eyes of the greedy people around him suddenly converged, the people in the Taishi Mansion were not the existence they could provoke, unless they didn't want to stay in the Daqian Dynasty.
"It turned out to be the son of the Marquis of Wuwen's Mansion, so kind, please accept the little old man's worship, Tiezhu, Xiao Mu, hurry up and come up to meet the benefactor, and these two benefactors, I don't know ...... you"
Lin Xi waved his hand, "You don't need to ask who we are, you just need to remember this Hong Yi Gongzi." ”
The old man nodded, and no longer continued to ask, after all, the matter between the nobles and sons was not something he could mix, and the three old men respectfully saluted Hong Yi at the moment, as for Lin Xi and the two, after casually saying hello to Hong Yi, they walked leisurely towards the Lin Mansion.
......
The two of them didn't walk fast, they stopped and stopped all the way, shopping in the night market on the street, and when they returned to the mansion, it was completely dark, and they said hello to the housekeeper, and told him that they had no problem in taking the exam this time, and then returned to the room with Lin Ruo.
The room was already pitch black, and with a wave of Lin Ruo's hand, the entire room suddenly became as bright as day.
"Brother, ordinary people have to sleep at night, do we still sleep?" Lin Ruo's face was slightly red, and he asked with some expectation.
"This, since you say that you want to live the life of an ordinary person, then naturally you have to sleep day and night like ordinary people, it's getting late, we should rest. Lin Xi coughed lightly, took Lin Ruo's jade hand, and walked towards the bedroom.
Lin Xi was slightly excited in his heart, he had lived for tens of thousands of years, and the title of this 10,000-year-old virgin might be taken off today.
Lin Ruo also seemed to understand what was going to happen next, his face was slightly red, he lowered his head, hugged Lin Xi's arm tightly, followed Lin Xi's side with a slight tremor in his body, and walked forward step by step.
"Brother......
Lying on the bed, Lin Ruo's body seemed a little stiff, his hands didn't know where to put it, and even his voice was a little out of tune, and the ethereal and indifferent ruthless emperor in Lin Xi's impression was completely like two people.
A touch of pity appeared in Lin Xi's heart, and he gently hugged Lin Ruo in his arms and comforted, "Don't be nervous, you know that you are not ready, take your time, wait for the wedding day, and then hand over your whole body and mind to me, how about it?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruo's somewhat stiff body softened slightly, and he hummed softly, his heart was full of sweetness lying in Lin Xi's arms, and under the relaxation of his mood, he slowly fell asleep.
Caressing Lin Ruo's hair, Lin Xi no longer restrained his sleepiness, and like ordinary people, the two hugged each other and slept until dawn.
......
In the next two days, Lin Xi's life was very leisurely, he flipped through all kinds of books in the study, spread out the paper inkstone in his spare time, and improvised a painting, and whenever this time, Lin Ruo would stand beside him, grinding and adding fragrance to him, looking like a concubine.
Early in the morning of the third day, Lin Xi just got up, and after tasting it on Lin Ruo's lips, the two walked out of the door, and heard gongs and drums beating outside the compound, and firecrackers exploded loudly. ”
Lin Xi nodded, and casually handed the old housekeeper a bag of money, "There are some silver taels in this, you can distribute them to the person who announces the good news later, don't be stingy, our Lin Mansion, there is no shortage of this silver taels!"
Walking out of the gate, at the main gate of the Lin Mansion, a large group of officials who reported the good news were already crowded amid the roar of firecrackers, as well as the neighbors who were watching the excitement around, all of them were beaming.
"I thought that the Lin Mansion was about to fall, but I didn't expect Lin Xi to be so competitive and become a master!"
"It seems that the Lin Mansion is going to rise again, Master Xie Yuan, it is naturally not a problem to be admitted to the Jinshi. ”
"Those who can lift people are all Wenqu stars in the sky, not to mention the first place, if you can win the Huiyuan in the future examination, and the champion in the palace examination, it is even the third yuan, I heard that only the former prime minister Li Yan has had it. ”
"The gentry are exempt from taxes, tsk, this time, it is developed. ”
This is located in the suburbs of Yujing City, although the people who live here are the family members of officials who are officials in the court, but most of them are just some small officials, and their grades are not high.
Lin Xi didn't care, he just thought it was interesting to take this test, but he didn't have any special festive feeling, but the old housekeeper was different, today was the day when his young master was in high school to solve the yuan, and in the morning, his mouth was happy and didn't close.
Just when the old housekeeper was happily distributing the money to the officials who reported the good news, at the corner of the street, a few sedan chairs suddenly turned out, stopped far away, and a group of young people came down, Lin Xi didn't know him, but this group of young people seemed to have known him for many years, and they were enthusiastic one by one, and they congratulated him from afar.
"Brother Lin, congratulations, congratulations on your high school Xie Yuan, won the first place, and sent congratulatory gifts to my brother and a few people in the same year, and I hope to smile. ”
At the same time, the slaves around these people all brought over the bags of gifts, and at the same time, these people sent gift lists for Lin Xi to look at.
Lin Xi glanced at it generally, most of the congratulatory gifts from everyone were some silver, silk, pen, ink, paper and inkstone items, although they were not expensive, but they were not something that ordinary people could get.
Although he didn't know these people, after Lin Xi casually read someone's memory, he also had a general understanding of the situation.
These people are all people who were raised in the same exam as him, and he can be regarded as the same year, officialdom, in the same year, they are all objects of mutual support, and they will inevitably form a party in the same year, even if they don't know each other, but as soon as they say that they are in the same year, they are immediately closer than brothers.
Lin Xi, as the Xie Yuan of this township test, is naturally the leader of this period, it is no wonder that everyone will rush to give him a congratulatory gift, as the head of Xie Yuan, it is inevitable that some people who are full of expectations for their careers will come to pull relations in the same year, these things, as long as Lin Xi is still in this red world, it is naturally inevitable.
