Chapter 10: The Curtain (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
It's autumn now, and the morning breeze is no longer as cool as a summer day, but cold.
Ji Xiao is not invaded by cold and summer, and the clothes on his body are still as thin as ever. Looking at the stack of clothes in front of him, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Do you need to be so heavy to go to the Yahui?" ”
Lichen said: "It was ordered by the presiding officer." ”
Ji Xiao pointed to the wig next to his clothes and said, "What's going on." ”
Lichen said: "It is also the one who presides over the orders." ”
Even if he had overheard what was going on with this meeting, Ji Xiao couldn't help frowning. The main thing is that the aesthetics of the single-minded host are a little too weird, the stack of clothes is very old-fashioned, this wig has no luster at all, the hair is yellow, and wearing it gives people the feeling of long-term malnutrition.
Ji Yu said: "I'll choose a set of clothes myself, I'll solve the hair matter, if you don't have anything to do, go back to Yixin to host your life." ”
Lichen couldn't hold back a smile and said: "I also told the host that you probably don't like these two things, this is the clothes I prepared for you, what do you think." ”
He took out another package and opened it, revealing a wide tunic inside.
Ji Xiao gave it a try.
Lichen smiled: "The big sleeves are fluttering, and the dust is clear." You're a good fit for these kind of loose clothes, and if you have long hair, you'll be perfect, but I can't help you with hair. ”
Ji Xiao said: "You have a heart, I have my own way to deal with hair." ”
"Okay, after you enter the county seat, you will first go to see Nie County Order and present it to him in person. Lichen took out a piece of paper.
Ji Xiao put it in his sleeve and said, "There's nothing else." ”
Lichen said: "It's gone." ”
Ji Xiao said: "I'll go down the mountain." ”
He said goodbye to the dust, strode out of the door, and soon left Lanruo Temple, on the way he urged qi and blood, and his hair grew out crazily, and when the long hair was over his shoulders, he stopped growing, and Ji Yu used a cyan ribbon to tie it up.
"Hahaha. Mu Qing's laughter sounded in Ji Xiao's ears.
He said angrily: "What are you laughing at, it's not like you haven't seen me with long hair." ”
"I'm just used to your bald appearance, and now I want to laugh when I see your hair growing, and you don't look the same now as you used to. Mu Qing floated in the air, but she couldn't stand up straight with a smile.
I haven't tried to grow my hair for a long time, Ji Xiao is a little unconfident, and said, "Don't laugh, how do I look better than before." ”
Mu Qing covered his mouth, looked at it, and said, "It's okay." ”
"I knew I shouldn't have asked her, it was just perfunctory. Ji Xiao couldn't help but slander in his heart.
However, she hasn't practiced recently, but she has talked a lot, and he thought about it again.
A monk and a ghost then Shi Shiran went down the mountain and entered Yongkang County.
Lanruo Temple is surrounded by mountains, and it is also at the intersection of Yongkang, Shenshui and Changqing counties, but Lanruo Temple has always been under the jurisdiction of Yongkang County, and Nie County is also the county order of Yongkang County.
The county government is easy to find, Ji Xiao arrived soon, and after being passed through, he saw Nie County's order in the study after a while. He was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a Chinese face and a slender beard, apparently well-groomed.
After reading the letter written to him by Yixin, he looked at Ji Xiao for a while, then showed a gentle smile and said, "It's hard work all the way down the mountain." ”
Ji Xiao smiled and said: "It's not hard, I know a little martial arts, and it's still easy to go down the mountain." ”
Nie County Ling twisted the beard and said: "Good martial arts, good health, not easy to get sick." ”
He added: "The Yahui will be held in the afternoon, right in Qiushengtai, not very far from the Fuxue Palace. ”
Yongkang County is under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou Prefecture, which is also the seat of Jiangzhou. There is a saying in officialdom called "Three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to Guo provincial city. ”
It can be said that Nie County Ling will almost be able to become a magistrate in the capital of Jiangzhou, that is, Sansheng will do evil. Because Ji Xiao heard that the county order of Jiangzhou Fucheng and the county order of Yongkang County were vacant at the same time, and the officials were also filled in order according to the vacancy, and in the case of vacancy at the same time, Nie County ordered not to make up for the vacancy of Fucheng County, just luck, it is really difficult to explain, so he may not only have accumulated virtue in his previous life, but also may have a good background.
Ji Xiao said: "The host mentioned it to me. ”
Nie Xianling said with a smile: "I heard that the calligraphy of the virtuous nephew is good. ”
Ji Xiao said: "It's okay." ”
Nie Xianling smiled slightly: "It's really a coincidence, the content of the question in the Yahui is calligraphy, I don't know what the virtuous nephew is good at." ”
Ji Xiao heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, this is to engage in dark box operation.
He had to pretend to be shy and said, "The poem is still done." ”
Nie Xianling asked, "Which type of poetry is better?"
Ji Yu said: "Write the scene." ”
Nie County ordered: "Were there any good works in previous years?"
He added, "It's better not to show it to others." ”
Ji Xiao couldn't help but mourn for the other scholars who came to participate in the meeting, even if he didn't copy the official this time, everyone else would come to compete for the second.
In the past, when I was a top student, I relied on my strength all the way to win the first place, but this time I relied on naked cheating, and it felt like a fresh experience, but there was a little shame and excitement.
Nie County Ling saw Ji Xiao groaning, and thought that he had just boasted about himself, but he was actually not good at composing poetry.
He smiled and said, "If you don't have it, don't worry, I have a copy of the old work from the past here, you can help me evaluate it." ”
Ji Xiao thought to himself: This is not only to leak the exam questions, but also to give the answers.
Ji Xiao had no choice but to say: "There is indeed an old work, which happens to be written about autumn scenes." He still has to nod his face, and directly take the poems of Nie County's order to answer the questions, which is too much.
Nie Xianling smiled: "You come here." ”
Ji Xiao said: "Far up the cold mountain stone path slope, there are people in the depths of the white clouds; ”
After listening to Nie County's order, the smile between his eyebrows and eyes became stronger, and he said: "Good poetry, the virtuous nephew is really talented." In fact, at today's Yahui, I am preparing to take autumn scenery as the theme, and the poem of the virtuous nephew coincides with me. ”
Ji Xiao naturally couldn't break Nie County's order, and echoed with a smile: "That's really a coincidence. ”
Nie County Ling said again: "I have a nephew of my own family who is also going to participate in the Yahui, you are of the same age, how close and close you will be when the time comes, if there is anything bad about him, you can take care of the nephew, you can tell me afterwards." ”
Ji Xiao knew in his heart, it seemed that the nephew of the Nie County Order was his daughter. It's about creating opportunities for them to get along.
It's just that I don't know if this county magistrate's daughter also knows about their blind date.
Yixin didn't tell him, maybe Nie County didn't tell his daughter either.
After all, their business may not be able to be done, if they don't say it, they won't be embarrassed if they don't succeed by then.
