Volume 2 The Rivers and Lakes in the Temple and Outside the Temple Chapter 85 All Things and I Live Up to Nothing (I)
All things and I are worthy of the Qing (I)
Xue Pan listened carefully to what Chunwang said, and when the little girl narrated seriously, her big eyes flickered, but she was still a little cute.
Xue Pan held his chin with one hand and tilted his head to look at Chun Wang, not knowing if he had listened.
Chunwang slapped the table vigorously, and his two eyebrows were twisted together: "Hey, are you listening!"
Xue Pan immediately came back to his senses, and then said, "Listen, listen!"
"Where's that hear?"
Xue Pan frowned, and vigorously recalled the stories told by Chunwang before, most of which were the hardships of crossing the land and having just experienced the disaster of flooding.
He was bored listening, so he looked at Chunwang seriously, looking at his big watery eyes, where could he still hear what Chunwang said in his ears.
"Speaking of Lu Ziang's failure to come to Huanxi Lou to drink overlord wine?" Xue Pan was a little unsure, he just looked at the girl who was like the frost in early spring.
At first sight, it was as cold as ice.
Thaw, spring breeze comes.
Xue Pan looked at the girl's face bursting with anger, as if there was a frost shrouded in it, and his eyebrows immediately lowered, even the father who was the secretary of the criminal department was not afraid of him. At this time, when the little green-clothed maid became angry, she hung upside down like a mountain and a river, which made his heart tremble.
Seeing Xue Pan like this, Chun Wang sighed before he wanted to speak, and Xue Pan was also relieved. Thinking that he couldn't let him go so easily, he deliberately said: "Probably your family came to ask, I saw him drinking on the roof opposite the handyman room where the young lady lived before for many days, looking at the negative person. ”
Then he glanced at Xue Pan and emphasized again: "Remember, I didn't mean it for you. ”
After finishing speaking, it seemed that even he didn't believe it, and his pretty face turned red.
Xue Pan immediately put on a smiling face, smiling, but suddenly saw that Chun Wang's face had just been cold again.
"Isn't it funny?" Chunwang's voice was a little cold.
Xue Pan subconsciously withdrew his hand, but just touched the injured arm.
screamed, in fact, it didn't hurt that much, but when I saw Chunwang's eyes, I couldn't extricate myself from the pain.
"Scoundrel!" Chun Wang snorted, and even she herself was a little surprised, when did she not care about the identity of the other party.
If it is an ordinary day, although it is not respectful to see a rich family, at least it will not speak ill of each other.
Thinking of this, she waved her hand and continued, "Forget it, I'll talk about it again!"
......
That year, at this time, the spring breeze was blowing away the frost on the branches and the buds on the ground.
Jia Runqing, the top brand of Huanxi Building, was slightly unwell, and he closed his room for a few days, and he didn't see any guests.
In an instant, Huanxi Building was a little less lively than in the past.
Although the bustard and the boss are anxious, hoping that this top brand will stick to his post, she is sick, and they have lost nothing in vain.
But as the top brand, sometimes they have to take into account her thoughts.
Not only Huanxi Lou is like this, but the whole Pingkang Fang is like this, the famous girls are the pearls of the palm, shining brightly, and the girls who have not yet become famous are like weeds, which can be discarded at will.
Jia Toupai said that he would not entertain guests, and no one dared to say anything.
That year, I don't know if the time for the spring test list was advanced, or if I refused to leave this cold winter, anyway, it was the season when the branches were still busy with frost. The imperial court released the spring list, and the young man with a smile on his face and bright eyes and bright teeth looked for it several times, carefully confirmed, and finally his heart was like ashes, he didn't see his name on the list.
The young man, who was once full of confidence and patted his chest to the old mother at home, had the intention to die at this time.
He stood by the river, the cold window for ten years came to naught, and the old mother at home even changed the dowry for the road to let herself come to Chang'an to take the exam, but he didn't expect this result, what face did he have to see his hometown father.
originally said that the clothes were returned to their hometown, but now they look like this, they are not clothed, they are not brocade, what is the face of returning home?
Just when others were "proud of the spring breeze and saw all the Chang'an flowers in one day", he stood next to Sanlixi, and the peach blossoms began to blush, dying in this colorful season, probably a kind of romance.
A voice suddenly came from behind him: "The eldest husband was born in the world, and he can defend the territory without thinking about martial arts, and he can rule the world and save the people." Standing next to this Sanli Creek and committing suicide by throwing himself into the river, it is really ridiculous, wasting the body of this dignified seven-foot man!"
Lu Ziang turned his head violently, wearing a pink skirt, like a peach blossom blooming in advance, a hundred flowers have not bloomed, but the butterflies have returned.
The eyes lit up, but then dimmed.
"It's not that I don't want to serve the country, but my mother has done everything she has, and I also kneel to promise the whole village that I will return to my hometown in fine clothes. ”
The woman was suddenly stunned: "At least you still have a home." Then he came back to his senses and said loudly: "If it doesn't work this time, then next time, if it doesn't work next time, then next time." If you are willing to work hard, one day, the pearl will shine. The woman's words were full of encouragement and impassioned.
"But I'm full of confidence this time, and I really don't know why I didn't make the list. Lu Ziang's expression darkened.
"Aren't you going to check? Isn't this dynasty so decayed that the prince can't know the reason for his fall?"
Lu Ziang immediately raised his head, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.
The little maid beside the woman tugged at the long pink dress: "Miss, we should go back, otherwise the group of people will chatter again." The young lady smiled lightly, shook the round fan, and walked away.
"Dare to ask the girl's name?" Lu Ziang shouted, but only saw a back.
That was the first time Chunwang and Miss Chun met Lu Ziang.
......
Xue Pan listened carefully, and then asked, "What about after that?"
Chunwang sighed, and the second time they met, Lu Ziang turned into a drunkard and made a lot of noise in Huanxi Building.
Xue Pan immediately answered: "It's really self-love, your young lady persuaded him, but he came to Huanxi Building to make trouble, and the mud can't support the wall!"
Chunwang shook his head, and his eyes suddenly darkened: "No, you listen to me." ”
......
Lu Ziang listened to the persuasion of the strange woman and figured it out, so he stayed in the broken temple all night, and the next morning he took advantage of the stream water to freshen up and go to check the test papers.
The Holy Dynasty stipulates that all scholars take the exam, and after the results are released, the examination papers can be checked for three days, and if there is a dissatisfaction, the examiner responds on the spot. After 3 days, it will not be accepted.
Lu Ziang returned to the examination room again, and the examiner sat in the courtyard, surrounded by guards with long knives, solemn and mighty.
There are two or three people sparsely around, and they don't come to check the test papers, but every year there are always two strange things in this inspection, and they come to observe.
Someone once asked him why he couldn't get into the department, and angrily accused the examiner of being incompetent. But the examiner found the test questions on the spot and asked him to read his test paper again, and when he saw the handwriting like chicken chops, he couldn't even read it himself, and finally ended up with a laughing stock, and so on, it's really a lot. Every time the test paper is checked, it turns into a joke meeting.
Lu Ziang was not afraid of the eyes of others, and strode into the examination room where he was struggling to write at that time.
When the examiner saw Lu Ziang coming, he was stunned at first, but he still found out his test questions on the spot and read them again.
People slowly gathered around, and all eyes were focused on him, not knowing what kind of joke this scholar who had a good reputation before the exam would bring.
The examiner looked at the questions and slowly put down the papers.
"Yan muscles and willow bones, the font is extraordinary. Everyone was amazed, it was a rare compliment at the time of inspection, but they knew that there would be a flip.
"The structure is rigorous, the writing is outstanding, and the policies listed on people's livelihood issues are exactly the issues discussed by the Chinese book in these days, and there are many insightful ideas!"
Everyone was immediately confused, this was no longer a compliment to see.
Generally, there is such an evaluation, and over time, it will be able to enter and exit!
Lu Ziang was also a little puzzled, even the examiner recognized it, so why did he fall off the list, could it be that he put the list wrong?
He immediately asked the question in his mind.
"Could it be that the list was misplaced?" everyone looked at the examiner, without speaking or laughing.
The examiner shook his head, and then said: "If there is this article in the autumn exam last year, there will be a chance to win three yuan in a row." ”
"But......" he paused, causing countless people to stretch their necks and be very curious.
"It's a pity, there are nobles, a few days ago in Pingkangfang Huanxi Building, I saw a girl, six or seven of your articles coincide with what the girl said, and what is even more peculiar is that even the last poem can be done by that girl. ”
The examiner said it quite tactfully, just saying "coincidence".
As soon as these words came out, the hall burst into laughter.
If a woman is eight years old, she just can't be an official or enter the office. There is a gentleman who copied what the woman said, wouldn't he laugh at the generous family?
Although the sun is not spicy today, his face is hot and painful.
......
There was a down-and-out weirdo outside the Huanxi Building.
The head sign of Huanxi Building obviously announced that he would no longer entertain guests, but he came every day.
I came every day, but I was shy in my pocket, and I couldn't spend a few dollars, but I clamored every day to see the top Oiran of Huanxi Building.
No one cared about the first acquaintance, but over time, he became more and more depressed, like a stray child, and came every day, the most serious one, drank a lot of wine in Huanxilou, drunkenly lying on the table, the shopkeeper looked for someone to touch, found that there was no silver in his arms, and immediately became angry, and wanted to throw this downcast who dared to come to Huanxilou to drink overlord wine to the backyard to feed the dogs.
Chunwang, who happened to pour water, saw this scene and immediately told his own lady.
Jia Runqing frowned, and finally sighed, and then said, "Just come down and put him in the miscellaneous room for the time being." ”
Hearing the young lady's words, Chunwang immediately rescued Lu Ziang, who was about to enter the dog's mouth.
When Lu Ziang woke up, he only saw a simple earthen house, although it was a mud house, it was much better than his family's house, with only a simple bed and table.
"The eldest husband is born as a human being, either drinking alcohol or seeking death, it is really sad for you!" a cold voice sounded.
Lu Ziang turned his head and saw that he was like an immortal, and the girl he met by chance in Sanlixi that day was sitting at the table.
Lu Ziang's expression darkened, he stood up forcefully, and bowed to the girl three times.
"The girl didn't know, I followed the girl's advice that day and went to check, but I didn't expect ......"
Lu Ziang flicked his sleeves: "Alas, what is said in the next test paper, written in the article, and recited in the poem is exactly the same as that of a girl in Huanxilou, and it is rumored to be a joke, how can I, Lu, have suffered such a great humiliation!"
Jia Runqing's expression was cold, and he suddenly asked, "Do you look down on women?"
Lu Ziang shook his head: "No, I just want to prove my own talent, not plagiarizing others!"
Jia Runqing's face was a little better, and he suddenly said, "You said that you have only learned from others, then I will give you a chance." ”
"I funded you to stay in Chang'an until the autumn exam, but you won the champion and became an official, you need to help me do something!"
Lu Ziang thought for a while: "Don't do anything that violates the law and discipline!"
"It's about the people who are suffering!"
"Okay!" Lu Ziang agreed very simply!
