There is a kind of scumbag, which obviously ends miserably (the kind of mixed doubles). But after the exams, before the results are announced, there is always a very fantastical feeling that I am the real destiny.

Well, Li Yun has a little person living in his head, and before the truth is really revealed, he will jump up and tell him that you are the most unique person in this world, and all the luck will gather at your feet. As a result, Li Yun often said some nonsense, that is, bragging without taking into account his actual situation.

From this point of view, Li Kui and him are completely different people.

Li Kui also bragged and said big things. But Li Kui did this more to gain attention and recognition, but he was actually very empty. But Li Yun is not like this, he really believes it.

Li Yun is in this situation, he feels that if the examiner is not blind, he will definitely not let his name fall into Sun Mountain, not only can he not let his name fall into Sun Mountain, but also ask for the title of the gold list. After all, the model text that Huang Shibo brought, he wrote it very carefully. He developed a strong belief in his heart that he would add luck to his fortune and become famous in one fell swoop. It's just that he didn't notice that the author of Fan Wen was sitting in the Gongyuan.

is full of confidence, but he is not ready to read the list before the list is released, what is the difference between this and the night walk in brocade? It's definitely wrong, it's the grievance of letting others take advantage of the limelight.

Li Yun looked at Fan Chong, who was like a dead dog, with his eyes open: "How big is this?" Isn't it just a few more enemies? Although we haven't known you for a few months, if you really have bad luck, are you the kind of person who pats his ass and pretends not to know? It's a big deal, let's carry it together when the time comes. Even if we can't bear it, our legs are long on our body, can't we run? ”

Fan Chong was stunned, opened his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Li Yun, your kindness is appreciated by my brother's heart, but how can my brother bear to drag you down?" I thought about it for my brother, and after a few days, I went south to follow my father. Since he couldn't serve the country, he served his father at home to fulfill his filial piety. ”

"Frustrated!" Li Yun said unashamedly: "Why don't you redress your uncle's grievances?" ”

Fan Chong is really not used to Li Yun's idea of jumping, is his father wronged?

Even if Fan Chong is Fan Zuyu's own son, Fan Chong doesn't think that his father has become the first senior official of the conservatives to be degraded, and there is any grievance to speak of, and even he secretly thought that his father was not unjust at all because he was unlucky. In his opinion, his father had almost no trace of his death in the previous years. How can anyone who is an official regard offending his colleagues as the first great achievement in life?

Although Fan Zuyu does not scare his own people, there are only a few people that Fan Zuyu identifies as his own people.

Sima Guang, benefactor, let's not talk about it.

Fan Chunren.

Su Song.

Su Zhe.

Lv Dafang.

Written by Lu Gong.

……

There are only a dozen people, and other vassals who are not in the stream are not in the scope of Fan Zuyu's own people. Fortunately, Su Shi did not become his enemy. Fan Zuyu even collected Su Shi's recitals against the conservatives with great respect, and respectfully handed them over to the Empress Dowager Xuanren Gao, and never said anything bad about Su Shi.

The reason is, can the person who can write such a wonderful poem and a majestic article be a bad person?

Definitely not!

I have to say that Fan Zuyu's position is very problematic, at least the composition of personal preferences accounts for a large proportion.

Of course, if he didn't, Huang Tingjian would not have helped Fan Chong a little after Fan Zuyu was in trouble, and even Fan Chong called Huang Tingjian a teacher out of gratitude and respect, and Huang Tingjian did not refuse. However, apprenticeship is impossible, and without the presence of elders, apprenticeship is a bit inappropriate. As for the big favor, he really can't help.

Faced with Li Yun's reaction that he had no position to speak of, Fan Chong felt a warmth in his belly, which made him dispel a lot of the gloom in his heart. But he still didn't want to go, and the reason is not explained.

Even if, with the help of Li Kui and Li Yun, he wiped out all the 'incriminating evidence' left by his father, he still couldn't muster the slightest energy to go to the outside of the Gongyuan to see the emperor's list. Fan Zuyu's son, even if he wins the champion, what can he do? Don't you have to be targeted by the enemies of the Fan family in officialdom?

Until Li Kui opened his mouth and said: "Brother Fan, since you participated in the provincial examination, but you don't look at the list, such a provincial examination is incomplete." ”

Ahh

Fan Chong couldn't figure out anything, and there were so many things to say if he didn't look at the list.

Now that the Fan family is in trouble, it is not easy to meet a few friends. In fact, the side effects of Fan Zuyu's bad popularity have appeared. Fan Chong's former friends in Taixue didn't dare to come to him. Coupled with the fact that the strength of the law-changing faction in the court is becoming more and more obvious, who would dare to gamble their official fortunes for the sake of so-called friendship?

He looked up at Li Kui, and finally at Li Yun, and saw the kind of perseverance that made him feel warm. Fan Chong was no longer hypocritical, stood up on his knees, and said, "Let's prepare for my brother." ”

Drunk, unrelenting, and hiding at home for many days, Fan Chong simply changed into a regular suit, not wearing the plain robe that the scholar liked, and looked slightly casual.

The three of them went to the Tribute Courtyard together.

When I came to the huge open space outside the Gongyuan, there was already a sea of people in front of me, Fan Chong was from Sichuan, and his height was ordinary. Well, it's a bit short, he can only see the back of the head of the person in front of him when he stands, and as for the emperor's list, it shouldn't have been posted yet. On the contrary, Li Kui has an obvious advantage, standing behind the crowd, he is almost a head taller than everyone in the square, giving him a kind of unobstructed smoothness.

Although Li Yun is not as tall as Li Kui, he doesn't know when he found two bricks, and he can see the walls of the Gongyuan Courtyard when he pads them. As for the surrounding heights, the steps, and even the second floor of the restaurant facing the street, they are all crowded scenes. Although there are a lot of people, it is not too noisy.

If the imperial list is posted, it will be directly posted on the wall, and there will be soldiers patrolling around, so that the scholars and the people will not stand too close, and there will be a chance to harm the imperial list.

Don't think that the people are afraid of imperial power, so they won't do such a thing.

What is the saying?

Punishment is not responsible.

If you really don't control it, the bold people can't help but reach out and pull the emperor down together. Although the emperor list is the emperor list, it is also written in words. If it is really ruined, not to mention others, the master of the Ministry of Rites, and the examiners in the Tribute Academy will not be happy. But in the Kaifeng Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone firmly believes in a truth, the imperial list of the Gongyuan is hung once every three years, which is the accumulation of the literary atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty for three years.

Not long after he stood still, Fan Chong was staggered by someone and was about to fall to the ground.

Fortunately, Li Kui reached out in time and pulled Fan Chong. Fan Chong was embarrassed, and he didn't forget to thank: "Thank you, Brother Li." ”

Li Kui cracked his mouth and smiled, and then the smile froze on his face. Angry, he turned his head and yelled at the person beside him: "Little thief, looking for death? ”

"Whoever is a thief, who is a thief, is innocent and innocent, and the kid is rude." Li Kui was angry, that was because the other party's hand stretched out to the place where it shouldn't be, although it was not the place where he put the money, but his waist was touched back and forth by a pair of man's big hands, even Li Kui was a little sweaty on the back of his spine, and his heart couldn't respond.

When he turned his head and saw an old face that was a little old, still a man, the disgust in his heart was even worse.

In particular, I heard the other party's mouth sigh of admiration, and was surprised by Li Kui's appearance: "What a strong chest, such a big fist, and the back is as hard as a stone......"

Li Kui almost couldn't hold back and committed a bloody crime outside the Gongyuan.

Old rabbits?

This goods made Li Kui feel terrible more than a thief. Of course, Li Kui is not really afraid of the old rabbit, but this thing is disgusting!

The old man was very interesting, and after praising him, he immediately made an offer: "Look at my brother's good body, how about the old man using you for a while?" ”

Li Kui suddenly became angry, this old rabbit is not finished, he dares to covet his beauty, it is simply unreasonable! He raised his fist with his left hand, grabbed the placket of the old man's clothes with his right hand, lifted it in the air, and said with a cloudy face: "Old man, if you dare to talk nonsense again, the master will kill you with one punch!" ”

"Let go of the old housekeeper, a slip from the Taibao Mansion can lock you to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, believe it or not?" The dogleg on the side saw that the old man was restrained by Li Kui, and immediately fried the pot, and reacted violently with resentment, but it all appeared on his face. His hands were empty, and he didn't bring anything with him, and he didn't dare to do it when he saw that Li Kui was ruthless.

On the contrary, the old man who was caught in mid-air was very calm, and scolded his subordinates: "Stand down, a strong man is a good man with kung fu, how can you bully him?" ”

Li Kui also wondered, listening to the old man, he was a normal person, why did he speak with one mouth and attract hatred without boundaries?

Looking at the old man again, he is not dressed luxuriously, there is neither jade decoration, nor fancy clothes to support the façade, but he still deserves a few words neatly.

In particular, the meticulous face should be taken care of often. There are many such people in the capital, and they are generally the stewards of large mansions, housekeepers and the like.

The look is very similar to that of Li Kui's teacher Zhou Yuan's former housekeeper Xu Bo, but he is more generous. Since the other party dares to open his mouth, it is the Taibao, and the identity of the Taibao is the old man who quit the court to retire, and it is obvious that the old man was born in a big mansion.

Thinking of this, Li Kui loosened the placket of the old man's clothes, and said with a displeased face: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Unexpectedly, the old man was out of danger, and he didn't have the consciousness of fleeing from the wilderness at all, and he didn't have the horror of wandering around the ghost gate. He also dared to continue to invite Li Kui with a shy face: "Strong man, one hundred times, I will use you for one day." As long as you help my master succeed in catching his son-in-law, there will be another reward. ”

"Catch a son-in-law under the list?" Li Kui came back to his senses at this time, the old man's offer was not for dirty intentions, but for wanting to hire a fierce man like Li Kui to help his master catch his son-in-law.

Of course, it is not necessarily a son-in-law, as long as it is an unmarried tribute, he can go back to pay errands. A high-end combat force like Li Kui is definitely a fierce general who catches his son-in-law under the list, where to point, where to rush, won't he get the good marriage of his own young lady?

But the old housekeeper didn't expect Li Kui to be so irritable, and he would do it without saying a word. This made this old butler who had followed his master and had been in officialdom for most of his life quite despised. It's just not showing. Mainly look at his subordinates, all of them are like little chickens, how can Li Kui's momentum be fierce?

Li Kui was stunned, according to his identity, the son-in-law under the list should be the protagonist himself!

Why did he fall down in a blink of an eye and become a thug?

At this moment, the door of the Gongyuan opened with a dull creaking, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials held a roll of lists, and sent them down one by one, and the officials were in full swing to brush the paste and paste the list.

The old housekeeper is still waiting for Li Kui to reply?

If they hadn't met Li Kui, their group of people should have rushed to the bottom of the list under the command of the old man, and then according to the map, they would arrest the weak new tributes for their own old lady to screen.

Of course, it is certainly not enough to catch one, the more the merrier.

And the old man doesn't want it, he doesn't want to look sick and don't live long, and he doesn't want to look unsatisfactory.

Li Kuizheng looked at the list with bated breath, don't look at him far away from the list, but his eyesight is too good, and the hunter's instinct is stimulated.

It didn't take long for Li Kui to see his name.

Twenty?

A relaxed look finally appeared on his face, he had been paying for the identity of Jinshi for the past few years. Although, he can live a good life now without the status of a jinshi. But with so much to pay, it would be really frustrating if it ended up in vain. In addition, he didn't say anything about his apprenticeship with Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan was not a famous Confucian.

But he studied hard in Su Shi, Chao Buzhi, Li Di and other celebrities recently, okay, let's take it as hard work!

Before participating in the provincial examination, there were literary giants such as Huang Tingjian to do pre-exam counseling, if he really couldn't even pass the same jinshi exam, he would definitely doubt his IQ.

Inadvertently, the corners of Li Kui's mouth showed a hint of pride, and he was finally admitted.

On the contrary, it is Li Yun, his forehead is full of sweat, the last list, why don't you have yourself?

Although Li Yun said with a rainbow of momentum before, he was sure of Huiyuan. But if it was really the moment the list was released, Li Yun's face was sallow, the corners of his mouth trembled, he didn't dare to come out, and his heart was nervous as if he had to stop beating.

"First place in the provincial examination......

"Sichuan Road, Huayang County, Chengdu Prefecture, Fan Chong!"

"Yuan Chang?"

Li Yun was stunned, and muttered, "Why not me?" ”

Li Kui turned to Fan Chong and congratulated: "Congratulations to Elder Brother Yuan, the first in the provincial test!" ”

At the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, there are not many people who see the excitement. Either they are scholars who participate in the imperial examinations, or they are good scholars who secretly consciously take the exam. If the test is really a mess, and you dare to pull people to watch the emperor list with a shy face, it is estimated that it will be Li Yun.

There are a lot of other idlers, and unlike in the past, today they are all short-dressed and look capable. Either it is a little lady in the boudoir at home, ready to find a rich and noble family who rides the dragon and has a fast son-in-law. There are also merchants, but even if the merchants use the drama of cooking raw rice and cooked rice, in the end, there are many empty ones.

The most ruthless reader.

In the days after the provincial test list, such a farce will inevitably be staged in the capital.

Of course, is it still early?

The drama of catching a son-in-law under the list of the first year of the Great Song Shaosheng Branch officially started, and even Li Kui ignored it for a while, and I don't know which old housekeeper of the Taibao shouted at Li Kui with blood-red eyes: "One thousand guan, as long as the strong man helps my Taibao catch the top twenty tributes, two hundred guan, Tong Su is not bullied!" ”

And after the release of the emperor list, the voices and waves were superimposed, as if the mountains were overwhelming.

Especially after the first place in the provincial test appeared, many people shouted hoarsely: "Where is Fan Chong?" ”

Li Kui touched his chin and smiled, there is a way that is a dead Taoist friend who is not a dead poor Taoist, he is twenty years old, and he must be a hot object when he thinks about it, so he pointed at Fan Chong very unjustly and yelled: "Fan Chong is here!" ”

Fan Chong's eyes widened, he looked at Li Kui in disbelief, and regretted it like a flying stream in his heart, he thought that Li Kui was a good person, but he didn't expect their friendship to be so fragile, like a mud tire.

Sure enough, after Li Kui yelled, the momentum in the square suddenly fell, and many people turned around and scolded angrily: "Kid is making trouble, if Fan Chong is here with you, why don't you do it?" ”

Li Kui's roar attracted countless angry scoldings.

The old butler on the side laughed: "The strong man is quite interesting, but I am afraid it is not easy to deceive people today." The old man pretended to stroke the goatee on his chin profoundly, and his determined eyes seemed to tell Li Kui that everyone is a time-tested veteran, and your kid's method really can't be put on the table.

However, the old man was still wooing Li Kui: "Strong man, two hundred guan is already a lot, and there was no such price in previous years." This section is the first department of His Majesty's pro-government, and the tributes are more popular than in previous years. In this way, the strong man said a price, which one you contribute to, and how much remuneration you give. My Wenfu has doubled the number of strong men hired to contribute to my master. ”

Li Yun was nervous and angry on the side, but now that he met an old man who didn't know gold and jade, he couldn't help but sneer: "Can't we be the current Kegongshi?" ”

"Hahaha......" The old man laughed for a while, pointed at Li Yun and commented: "You have a face like yours, and you dare to say that you are a tribute and a scholar?" ”

"Why can't I be a reader?" Li Yun stiffened his neck and said angrily.

"There is no aura on your face, your expression is turbid, not clear enough, and more importantly, you may not even know yourself, you have a sense of Jianghu on you." The old man was quite reasonable, but Li Yun was obviously an exception.

Li Yun was really angry, pointed at Li Kui and asked, "What about him?" ”

"Warriors! The hero who catches the tiger under the mountain, the Dianwei under the command of Cao Mengde. Do you think Dian Wei should be a reader? "The old man is the truth, if you don't demolish him, maybe someone really believes it.

Without waiting for Li Yun to continue to ask, he pointed at Fan Chong and said, "This one is even more not, his face is worried and haggard, where is the haggard appearance of a high school tribute?" ”

Li Kui was stunned, he found that even if he was ranked 20th in the Gongshi exam, how could he still be classified as a fierce general?

As for Fan Chong?

He didn't dare to stay for a moment, and more and more people around him shouted his name. Fortunately, he didn't wear a Confucian shirt today, let alone a crown, and he looked ordinary and low-key. What frightened him was that he had seen a group of slaves who had wrapped themselves in sacks, and the cloth on both feet had fallen off, and they were struggling to be carried away.

I have a marriage contract!

If you really want to be used strongly, although it is very exciting...... But there is immorality.

The old man's words undoubtedly hit Li Kui, what is Dian Wei under Cao Mengde, can't he be Xun Yu?

obviously looked down on himself, Li Kui felt the need to let the old man know the dangerous truth of the world, and raised the price as soon as he opened his mouth: "One thousand guan, I will catch you a top ten tribute." ”

"Blackheart!"

The old man angrily pulled off a few whiskers, but did not refuse immediately. The old man seemed to have made a lot of determination, gritted his teeth and said, "The old man wants to be handsome!" ”
