The old man had already prepared, and directly took out two scrolls from the wide sleeves and handed them to Wu Hao and Bai Yu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"One pillar of incense is limited, and please start quickly. ”

The old man made a gesture of invitation, and after a while, a servant in a green coat and a small hat came in, brought two sets of tables and chairs, arranged the four treasures of the above room, and arranged them on both sides of the room. And another servant took the incense and lit it in the censer on the table in the main hall.

As the incense burner emitted green smoke, in the midst of the smoke, the servants retreated, and the old man also sat down on the Taishi chair in the middle, and with a wave of his hand, he announced the beginning of the answer.

Bai Yu glanced at Wu Hao, and opened the scroll a little impatiently, glanced at it twice, his face was flushed with a hint of joy, and he quickly moistened the pen and began to write.

Looking at this appearance, he seems to be very confident. When the old man sitting on the throne saw it, he couldn't help but nod his head, looking very satisfied. He naturally understands the difficulty of these questions, and it can be said that he has completely reached the level of Yang Songguo's palace exam, and Bai Yu can answer them so quickly, which shows that his reputation is not worthy.

Wu Hao remained silent, the corner of his eye was focused on Bai Yu's movements, and one hand had already opened the scroll.

Just glanced at it, and he completely extinguished the idea of answering himself, full of rare words, all of them were traditional characters, not to mention answering, it was even difficult for him to read the question.

The old man seemed to have anticipated Wu Hao's reaction, with a faint smile on his face, he took a goose feather fan from nowhere, shook it gently, but his eyes kept covering Wu Hao, and he didn't seem to plan to move away.

"This old man is also a powerful man, and he looks down on me so much if he hasn't heard of my name. ”

Wu Hao quickly figured out the reason for this, obviously, the old man of Bai Yu's name was known, and he should still be famous in the local area, but as for himself, it was nothing. It is estimated that in the old man's heart, he is here to cheat and cheat.

From the beginning to the present, the attitude of the old man is obviously like this.

"But now is not the time to turn your face, it is not appropriate to make a fuss, and it will impress you. ”

Wu Hao's expression remained unchanged, his right hand sharpened the ink, and began to completely repeat the movements of Bai Yu observed in the afterglow with his extremely strong short-term memory ability.

Soon, a complete volume appeared on the table, but the fly in the ointment was that his answer was almost the same as Bai Yu's.

It's just that at this time, he can't think about it, and it is even more difficult to make changes, so he can only hope that the old man will come up with objective questions, otherwise a discerning person can see the trickiness at a glance.

Bai Yu handed in the test paper, and his expression was a little excited, and it seemed that he had played well.

"In this way, I am also relieved!"

Wu Hao blew the ink marks on the test paper, ignoring Bai Yu's slightly provocative gaze, and handed the paper over.

"Huh?"

The old man obviously kept the changes in Wu Hao's expression in his eyes all the time, and at this time he raised his eyebrows, and did not look at Bai Yu's scroll first, but took Wu Hao's in his hand first.

As the scroll opened, the old man's brows furrowed more and more, and it was obvious that Wu Hao's answer was very unexpected to him, not too bad but too good.

"Am I mistaken? This man is still capable?"

The old man frowned and opened the scroll of the white feather again, only this time, what was waiting for him was completely stunned. If it weren't for the fact that he had already known Bai Yu's name, he might not have been able to tell who was copying whom of the two people in front of him, and the answers of the two could be said to be completely consistent, just word for word.

"Yes, both of them answered very well, they are both erudite people, and they are qualified to enter my Gao Laozhuang as Mr. Xixi, if the two of you have no other requirements, then this matter can be decided. ”

The old man quickly returned to his normal look, with a smile on his face, and seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of the two people, if Wu Hao was not all copied by Bai Yu, maybe even he would think that the old man was really satisfied.

Now it seems that the old man has other plans.

However, these were not in his consideration, and he nodded at the moment, and replied before Bai Yu: "It is my honor to be the Mr. Xixi of your village, but in addition to the treatment provided by the owner, can I make one more request, that is, to go to the book collection of your village to read some classics?"

"Oh, that's easy to say, I'm also a lover of books, so I naturally understand my husband's request, and when dinner is over, I'll let the scholar take you to my study, how about it?"

The old man stroked his beard, as if he didn't expect Wu Hao to have this request, but after a little hesitation, he agreed.

"Then thank you, owner. ”

When Wu Hao achieved his goal, he didn't say more.

"The late student also thought about it and was willing to take over Mr. Xixi's position. ”

At this time, Bai Yu also finished thinking about it, or he didn't need to think about it at all, he was here for this, so naturally he would not refuse, he could only say that his reaction was half a beat slower than Wu Hao.

"Good, good, good! The dinner has been prepared, and the two gentlemen are invited to come with the old man. ”

The old man made a cheerful appearance, laughed twice, and led the way ahead.

The dinner was held in an open-air pavilion, and all the Gao family members of Gao Laozhuang were present, and Gao Lao also introduced his daughter who was about to enter Mongolia to the two.

Although this woman is only eleven or twelve years old, she has already appeared like a hibiscus out of the water, and a ray of beauty flashes from time to time between her immature faces, which has made many men stunned.

The dinner party and the apprenticeship ceremony were carried out together, Wu Hao and Bai Yu sat beside the old man Gao, and after receiving three bows from Miss Gao, this ceremony was completed.

After a full meal, everyone in the Gao family dispersed, and Wu Hao and the two were also sent to the allocated house by the old man Gao, and soon, night fell, and the entire manor was slowly dyed with a layer of fog.

The night came quickly, and the darkness was fast, Wu Hao only sat for a quarter of an hour or so, and found that it was so dark outside that he couldn't see his fingers, even if with the rising of a bright moon, the darkness in the manor not only did not retreat, but became deeper and deeper.

"Sasha!"

The manor, which was still a little noisy, fell into a dead silence in an instant, and there was no movement except for the faint sound of the wind blowing and falling leaves.

Wu Hao didn't have any surprise on his face, as if he had expected the scene in front of him, he pushed open the window, glanced at the house of scholar Bai Yu not far away, and saw that the originally hazy light as orange dimmed all of a sudden, and then fell into darkness.

"Something interesting, A Chinese Ghost Story?"

The corners of Wu Hao's mouth curled, closed the window with his backhand, and then reclined on the bed.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells!"

The expected bell rang, from far and near, especially in the silence of the night. (To be continued.) )
