Chai Xinling

A handmaiden, who was burly and fair-skinned than most women, was completely stunned in Zhixinglou.

With the passage of time, from morning to night, from time to time, someone will ask questions and elaborate arguments, which at first will arouse applause and praise from the old scholars sitting in the back. As more and more people elaborated on what they had learned, the applause behind these little gentlemen became smaller and smaller.

Those old Confucian scholars who have written books and passed on their biographies and have been famous for a long time have been completely stunned, and even completely forgotten to applaud.

They never thought that some classics could be interpreted like this, and they felt even more terrifying.

The somewhat burly "woman" understood a little at first, after all, under Uncle Shi's teaching, he was also a full reader of poetry and books. But he only had a cursory understanding, and he didn't interpret it word by word like these little gentlemen.

At first, he could still think about it, and secretly express his opinions in his heart, but when he got to the back, there was only shock in his eyes, and those little gentlemen seemed to have a layer of light on their bodies.

From the sunrise in the east to the waning sunset, the twenty-four little gentlemen expressed their opinions, made generous speeches, and pointed out the country, as if opening a new door for everyone present.

Even Xu Chang'an, who has been transformed into a tall and burly maidservant, has benefited a lot.

As for the old men behind them, they looked unfinished, without the slightest tiredness, in the end, their pens had also amazed for a period of time, and even many of them were university scholars, but after today's audit, they felt that the world was so big, they were like mayflies.

Among them, the three young people who are most unforgettable to them are, Jiang Jingyan, who wears a crescent white robe and has long sideburns and long hair hanging down his shoulders, like a noble son, Chai Xintong who wears an ordinary green shirt and has a somewhat disheveled bun, and Kong Dewei, who is dressed like these old guys and hunched over his waist.

Of course, one of the most admired by these old people is Kong Dewei, his Confucianism has reached the pinnacle, Kong Dewei really gave them the feeling of a young sage; as for Jiang Jingyan, he has a strong self-confidence in his gestures, although his knowledge is not as good as Kong Dewei, but he also surpasses most people. Compared with the academic mastery but the stammering of his speech, his advantages are obvious, strong appeal and eloquence. As for the last one, Chai Xintong, these old men don't like him so much, but they can't refute him. This young man in a green shirt came to such a solemn occasion, his hair bun was still a little scattered, and through a discussion, it can be known that what this young man has learned is not pure Confucianism, and his heart is all-encompassing.

This is the most unpleasant thing about him, although it is said that the Holy Dynasty does not stipulate what is national learning, but the popularization of Confucianism makes these old people who grew up listening to Confucianism somewhat reject other doctrines.

When the sun went down, the five teachers and the old man who was invited all had a feeling of unfinished business.

That said, this first round is over, and only three of the twenty-four are not eligible for the promotion to Mr. Big.

In previous years, this gentleman's argument would have ended here, but this year, the little master suddenly wanted to accept apprentices, so the top eight of this gentleman's argument would have the opportunity to participate in the next assessment.

At the end of the discussion, the old men who had been invited to watch the ceremony slowly left the venue, and after the old-timers left, the five teachers looked at each other, and the one in the middle slowly spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, congratulations, twenty-one of you have qualified to succeed as Mr. Great. He glanced at everyone, then stroked his long beard and said, "Don't be discouraged by the remaining three, there will be a chance in three years." ”

"As for the twenty-one of you, don't be arrogant, after returning to the states, you will study wholeheartedly and bless the scholars! Of course, eight of you still need to wait in Chang'an, wait for the little master to inform you, and wish the eight of you a good performance in the future. ”

After that, the five teachers left.

The twenty-four gentlemen glanced at each other, said a few words, and left.

All the little gentlemen came from afar, except for Chai Xintong, they all brought a little scholar.

Naturally, these little scholars could not enter the Zhixing Building, so they could only wait for their little gentleman with a basket on their backs.

Jiang Jingyan walked out, his little scholar immediately greeted him, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his sweat, although it was the height of summer, but the night was still a little cold, he took a robe from the back basket and put it on Jiang Jingyan.

"Sir, it's going to be a good day. The little boy asked.

Jiang Jingyan didn't reply to him, but looked behind him.

After him, Kong Dewei and Chai Xintong came out side by side.

An old man who followed Kong Dewei did not carry any books, but carried a sword on his back, and the old man's hair was scattered, and when he saw Kong Dewei, he bared a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"Sir, come out!"

When Kong Dewei saw this old man, he immediately became happy.

"Grandpa Hong, you've been suffering outside, haven't you?"

The old man shook his head with a smile and said, "What did the old man say, the old man was full of joy when he saw the gentleman, how could he suffer." ”

Kong Dewei's face suddenly turned red and said, "Grandpa Hong said that he was laughing. ”

Immediately afterwards, he remembered Chai Xintong, who came down together.

"Brother Chai has a broad knowledge, and he has the strength of a hundred schools, if he has the opportunity, please ask Brother Chai to teach him more. ”

Chai Xintong was about to reply and be polite, but a voice came from behind him.

"Brother!"

I saw a girl who was about the same height as Chai Xintong walking over, with fair skin and very delicate eyebrows and eyes.

Chai Xintong was stunned for a moment, felt that the girl was a little familiar, thought about it, and tried to hold back his laughter.

The "girl" walked up to Kong Dewei prettyly, saluted, and said crisply: "Hello, sir." ”

Kong Dewei's face was red, and he was still a little hot.

This was the first time he had seen a girl other than his family and relatives, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt that his heart had melted.

In order to hide his embarrassment, Kong Dewei lowered his head.

"Hello, my name is Chai Xinling, Chai Xintong's sister. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

Kong Dewei was flustered for a while, and then he came back to his senses and shook hands with the "girl".

Before the skin touched, Kong Dewei was like an electric shock, and hurriedly retracted his hand and put it behind his back, looking very cute.

The old man, who was called "Grandpa Hong" by Kong Dewei, squinted his eyes, looked at "Chai Xinling" and said: "Don't be surprised, girl, my husband is devoted to studying, and rarely comes out to walk the rivers and lakes. As he spoke, his eyes froze, the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile, staring at "Chai Xinling" and shaking the long sword behind him.

"Chai Xinling" glanced at Kong Dewei, who was still shy with his head down, and shook his head slightly.

He knew that this was the old man's warning to him, if there was anything offended, please bear with him, but if there was nothing to do, he would not be soft.

"Grandpa, you're worried!" he said, then glanced at Chai Xintong, who was in shock, and said, "Brother, let's go." ”

The old man didn't stop him, just stared at the backs of the two, as if thinking about something.

Only then did Kong Dewei react, looked at Chai Xinling's back, looked at Chai Xintong again, bit his lip, and mustered up great courage to shout at the backs of the two: "Brother Chai, when will we discuss one or two with each other?" After he finished speaking, he stared at the two backs, for fear that he would be rejected.

Chai Xintong and "Chai Xinling" turned their heads, Chai Xintong was about to speak, but he didn't expect "Chai Xinling" to be the first to speak: "Okay, then tomorrow Pingkangfang Huanxi Building will not be gone!"

After saying that, he pulled his brother and left playfully.

Kong Dewei was full of joy, his face turned red again, and he kept muttering the phrase in his mouth: "See you and leave it." ”

Jiang Jingyan, who hadn't gone far yet, saw this scene and snorted coldly.

The little scholar cautiously asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Jiang Jingyan looked at the backs of the Chai Xintong brothers and sisters walking away, and then looked at Kong Dewei and the old man.

"This Kong Dewei didn't invite me, and invited a person who learned Confucianism messily, he was really blind. ”

He glanced at Chai Xintong's back again, and said slowly: "When the little master personally assesses it, whether it is the literary examination or the martial arts examination, I will press this boy surnamed Chai to the ground and rub it!"

......

The two siblings turned the corner, and Chai Xintong suddenly stopped.

He looked at his suddenly extra "sister", and said helplessly: "My little marquis, what do you want to do?"

"Chai Xinling" smiled, took out two pears from the bandeau, took a bite of it herself, and threw the other one to Chai Xintong.

"No, I just want to find an identity, and I want to see how Mr. Xiao evaluates you. Xu Changan took off his disguise.

Chai Xintong was a little helpless, so he could only say: "This literary examination is not made public because I am afraid that some remarks will cause dissatisfaction among those in power, and there will be nothing to hide in the martial arts examination in the future, you can swagger and watch it, little marquis." ”

Xu Changan was almost choked by this pear, and then said leisurely: "So, I have nothing to do with this body?"

Chai Xintong glanced Xu Changan up and down, clasped his hands and said, "The figure is not bad, it would be better if you could shave the leg hair clean!"

Xu Changan lifted his skirt and looked at his legs, suddenly feeling a little nauseous.

"Also, I don't know where the little master's literary examination is, when it started, maybe now, maybe tomorrow. So, my little marquis, don't bother. ”

Xu Changan felt like he had eaten.

Chai Xintong thought for a while, and then added: "By the way, then Kong Dewei seems to have a good impression of you, and you can solve it yourself tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, he strode away, leaving Xu Changan, who was dressed as a man and a woman, stunned in place.
