Time flies, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiayi County has entered the middle of summer.

There is a quiet place in the valley, and the main thing is that the branch is in a shady place, and the feeling of heat is almost imperceptible.

It is not like the three branches of Yunfeng Peak, not only do you have to endure the endless screams, but it also makes people sweat at every turn, which is the most uncomfortable thing, you can't cultivate well during the day, and you can't rest well at night.

Enjoying this rare comfort, the calligraphy students know how to drink water and think about the source, and they have more and more respect for Qin Mo.

A lot of things happened during this time, first of all, Qin Mo basically mastered the knack of Wang Ti Xingshu through cultivation, and the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" written silently was at least eight points similar to the original;

Secondly, he also mastered two new skills: [Pen Walking Dragon Snake] and [Pen Dancing Wind and Waves];

Third, Shen Cheng, the sacrificial wine of Nanjing Yingtian Academy, sent someone over, expressing his willingness to absorb him into the Su Society, and promised to do his best to help him in the college examination and help him win the list.

Qin Mo politely declined, saying that he wanted to be admitted to Xiucai through his own efforts, but he would consider joining the club after the college examination.

Shen Cheng expressed regret for this, and stated that as long as Qin Mo was willing, he could join the society at any time, and the door of the Su Society would always be open.

Some other things are not directly related to him, for example, He Chang received an order to serve as the Xuezheng of Nanjing Fuwen and Taoism College after the college examination, which means that he is the last time to lead the students of Xiayi County to participate in the college examination.

Xu Hao also received an order, and after the new county commander arrived, he needed to complete the handover with the other party, and then go to Nanjing Mansion to take up the post of Tongzhi.

The word Tongzhi comes from another official position - the prefect, the prefect is the chief executive of a prefecture, and the tongzhi is the deputy of the prefect, and the official position is second only to the prefect, which is equivalent to the prefecture-level deputy ******** in later generations.

Because Nanjing Mansion is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the official position is naturally higher than that of ordinary state capitals, so the chief administrative official here is named Fu Yin, which is held by Ren Minxue.

In other words, Xu Hao became Ren Minxue's deputy.

From the county order to the Nanjing Tongzhi, Xu Hao can definitely be regarded as a high promotion, so it can be determined that the Xu family has done a lot of work behind the scenes.

In addition to Tongzhi, he also won the position of deputy chief examiner of the college examination, which is equivalent to sitting firmly in the position of the second-in-command of the capital before he took office.

In the era of the imperial examination, the examiner has always been a hot position, no matter how big the official is in the future, the candidate has to respectfully call the teacher when they meet, and the examiner can use this relationship to benefit himself, or form a party and so on.

On the eighth day of April, the red sun was thin, and the air was obviously hot and dry.

At the ferry outside the county, more than 300 old children boarded four big boats, He Chang's two-horse flying car stopped aside, and Gu Meng rode with him, and the two would arrive in Nanjing City earlier than the students, and they were responsible for arranging food and lodging and other things.

Four large ships left the horse's head one after another, formed a column, and headed towards the east.

Nanjing has long been a lively scene, every time the government examination, the hospital examination and the township examination are held, because of the arrival of a large number of students, it will bring huge profits to the major inns, restaurants and other industries in the city.

Especially for the township examination held twice every three years, students will go to the city half a month to a month in advance to wait for the examination, such a long time, the cost is naturally not small, for the city merchants is a business opportunity.

After nearly a day of sailing by water, the fleet arrived at the ferry port outside Nanjing before the first quarter of the Shen period, and everyone took the horse-drawn carriage that had been prepared to enter the city and arrive at the inn before sunset.

After assigning the room, Qin Mo was just about to send the salute into the room, when the shopkeeper came over with a maid in a blue skirt and asked in a respectful tone, "May I ask which one is the head of the Qin case?"

Qin Mo responded: "I'm Qin Mo." ”

The maid saluted him, and then took out a white envelope, in addition to the five words "Qin Case First Personally Opened", there was also a lifelike pink chrysanthemum.

"This is a letter from my master to the head of the case, and I want you to come to the garden to talk about it. The maid respectfully handed over the envelope.

Qin Mo frowned slightly, he didn't stretch out his hand to answer the letter, but asked, "Who is the master of your family?"

"Lord of the Garden. The maid replied.

In fact, after seeing the chrysanthemum pattern on the envelope, Qin Mo had already guessed this result, and the reason why he asked was just to confirm his conjecture.

Seeing that he refused to answer the letter, the maid continued: "At the last Dragon Boat Festival, my master admired the writing of the head of the case very much, and he had the idea of talking to you about poetry and writing many times, but he couldn't bear to disturb your precious cultivation time. I heard that the head of the case came to the city with the students of Xiayi County, so I couldn't wait to repair a book, in addition to learning poetry, but also want to do the best of the friendship of the landlord, please be sure to appreciate the light. ”

Qin Mo frowned again and asked, "Now?"

The maid bowed her head and replied, "My master has ordered the preparation of a banquet, just waiting for the head of the case to come." ”

Qin Mo took the envelope at this time, but he still didn't open it, but said, "You go back first, and then go to the appointment after I pack it up." ”

The maid's face was overjoyed, and she saluted again: "The garden is waiting for the head of the case." ”

Before the maid walked far, Sun Yi stretched out his hand and put his hand on Qin Mo's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ziyi, Yanfu is not shallow!"

Ma Chongming walked over from the other side, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's been more than a month, and Miss Xin'er still misses you, we just arrived at the inn, so we sent someone over to invite us." ”

Qin Mo stretched his brows and said seriously: "People just asked me to talk about poetry, don't think about it." ”

Ma Chongming's eyes widened, and he pretended to be suspicious: "Really? What's going on with the banquet, how can you explain the fact that the people in the garden are waiting for the head of the case?"

Sun Yi was even more damaged, and said with a smile: "I guess you don't have to come back to the guest house tonight, since that's the case, why don't you give me your room, I like the house facing south." ”

Qin Mo glanced at the two of them and snorted, "Why don't I take you two with me?"

"Okay!" the two said in unison, but Sun Yi immediately said: "I'm afraid that people don't welcome us two nobodies, so let's not go and be bored." ”

Ma Chongming echoed: "That's right, we are very self-aware. ”

Qin Mo smiled: "Then don't blame my brother for not being righteous, the food in the garden must be very exquisite, I am the only one who has this blessing, you only have the share of greed." ”

After saying that, he walked upstairs quickly, packed up and went to the appointment.

Before going out, Gu Meng stopped him and advised: "I always think that the garden is weird, and the woman named Xin'er is also weird, but I can't tell where the fault is, you have to pay more attention, don't drink too much and delay the exam until tomorrow." ”

Qin Mo gave a reassuring expression and said, "You know me, as long as I don't want to drink, even Emperor Lao Tzu can't force it." ”

Gu Meng smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You kid, you are the most competitive on this point, and it is more difficult to pour you a few glasses of wine than to ascend to the sky!"

Not only him, but even Xu Hao and He Chang also had the same feelings, in their opinion, Qin Mo is too principled, saying that he will drink a few cups, coercion and temptation are useless, and it is useless for Xu Hao to order as an elder or official.

After a while, he stood in front of the gate of the garden.

Before he could speak, the gatekeeper greeted him with a respectful face, hugged his fists and said, "Welcome to the head of the Qin case, my master has been waiting for a long time, please follow me in." ”

Qin Mo asked rhetorically, "Do you know me?"

The other party smiled and said: "The villain was fortunate to see the head of the case writing poems during the Dragon Boat Festival, although the distance is relatively far, but the look of the head of the case is still fresh in my memory." ”

Qin Mo was suspicious in his heart, and the attitude of the people in the garden towards him was too enthusiastic.

Although he has many halos such as a double-class child, the head of the government examination and the first child in the world, it is not enough for a famous female talent to be so respected, isn't it just that she wrote two poems at the literary meeting, at most it can be regarded as a suitable situation, far from reaching the height of poetry and poetry.

Suspicious, he followed the gatekeeper into the courtyard.

After a month, the scene in the courtyard has changed greatly, and only a few pots of Mayflower chrysanthemums are left to the point of being forgotten against the backdrop of other flowers and trees.

Entering the moon gate, there is an elegant pavilion on the side of the flowing water in front of you, outside the pavilion stands a maid in a pink dress, and the stone table in the pavilion is full of delicacies, as well as a shadow holding a pipa.

Because it was summer, the maids wore cool clothes, and the gauze clothes covering the outside were almost transparent, and you could clearly see the white skin inside and the outline of all parts of the body.

Qin Mo didn't squint, and kept a uniform speed towards the pavilion.

It's not because it's not glamorous enough, but it's that he's used to seeing all kinds of swimsuit beauties in his previous life, and this little battle is nothing to him at all.

"Qin's case is the first to arrive. A maid shouted.

Xin'er, who was sitting in the pavilion, looked happy, handed the pipa in her arms to the maid beside her, and said: "The distinguished guest is coming, the little woman is missing the welcome, and I hope that the head of the case will not be surprised." ”

Compared to the cool attire of the maids, Xin'er was superior, her temples were low, her hair was draped over her shoulders, she was wearing a white tulle tunic with a light blue bandeau inside, and her shoulders and two arms were almost exposed, because the gauze was unusually light and almost transparent.

The light blue skirt is a ruffle style, with a distance of about three inches between each layer, and the knees are replaced with a gauze skirt material, and two small legs are looming.

Qin Mo's expression was natural, and he smiled faintly: "Miss Xin'er is polite, and the students feel extremely honored to be a guest of the garden." ”

Xin'er's eyes wandered, and she made a gesture of invitation: "Please take the seat of the head of the case." ”

"Thank you. Qin Mo sat down and continued to maintain his previous calmness.

A hint of strangeness flashed in Xin'er's eyes, and she continued to say politely: "The wine banquet prepared in a hurry, I hope that the head of the Qin case will not dislike the crude food." ”

Qin Mo Zhengse said: "I was born in poverty, and I was often hungry and full before I was admitted to the middle school, and it was common to have no food for a few days, and my biggest wish at that time was to be able to eat a full meal." The food in front of me is definitely a delicacy of the mountains and seas for me, and I was not even qualified to take a look at it before. ”

Faced with his unconcealed approach, Xin'er suddenly didn't know how to answer, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.
