The sky outside the window is not yet fully bright, Dongfang Xue has long been sleepy, he has been practicing in the ghost ring in the first half of last night, and only came out in the second half of the night to lie on the bed and sleep beautifully, wake up early, Dongfang Xue put on his clothes and took out his own folding fan, today is a special day, today is the day of the imperial examination of the Huangfu Dynasty, only this time in three years, the so-called imperial examination, the so-called fame and fortune have already become floating clouds in the eyes of Oriental Studies, but the instructions of his father and grandfather are still vivid, not for himself, just to fulfill a promise he made to them at the beginning, so this imperial examination, Dongfang Xue is imperative。

It is not safe to leave Luoluo Baiyu in the inn Dongfang Xue, not to mention that the Black Evil Church of the Medicine King Valley will not find here, even if it is the eldest son of the Ximen family who offended a few days ago, it is not something that Luoluo Baiyu and the two can resist, so Dongfang Xue woke up the two again, and in the sleepy state of the two, they sent the two to the small attic of the ghost yuan, and Dongfang Xue took the ghost out of the inn with confidence and walked towards the place of the exam.

As early as the day of the process, Dongfang Xue asked Ghost One to register his name, although Ghost One was puzzled and surprised, but he still did it, he really didn't understand, why did he, the miraculous young master, take such a fancy to the fame of the secular country, as for why? Only Dongfang Xue knew it......

The two of them came to the place where the exam, although it was still early, but in front of the door of the exam site, there were already talented literati from all over the country who hurried over. Dongfang Xue looked at the long queue of talents, and couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the world says, poor talents, poor scholars, in front of this long line, there are really a few people who are the children of high-ranking officials and nobles......

Ghost Yi hugged his fist at Dongfang Xue and said, "I'll go and line up for Childe, Childe will go to the side to rest!"

Dongfang Xue opened the folding fan and shook her head while fanning, and said to the ghost: "I'm no different from them, I'll just line up by myself, just go and wait by the side." ”

"This ......" The ghost looked at Dongfang Xue and wanted to stop talking, but when he saw Dongfang Xue's insistent eyes, he helplessly went to the side and waited.

When Dongfang Xue entered the examination room and sat down, the sun had already risen to the sky, and the readers waited outside the venue for two hours, and the ghosts came many times to dissuade Dongfang Xue from queuing up, but they were all sent back by Dongfang Xue, after Dongfang Xue entered the examination room, there was a long queue waiting outside the door, waiting for the start of the next one, for several hours, the people in line were orderly, and there was no messy noise, this is the quality of the poor Xiucai of the readers......

After everyone sat down, a slightly chubby middle-aged man from the government walked in, he was the chief examiner of this exam, and after he introduced himself, he gave Dongfang Xue and other Xiucai a blank piece of paper, as well as an identical pen, and an inkstone on the table.

"The topic I came up with today is a folk word, and all the talents are free to play, and they can answer the questionnaire within two hours. The examiner pulled his mustache and said to the people below, "If there is no problem, you can start!"

After the examiner finished speaking, many scholars and talented people rolled up their sleeves and raised their hands to take the pen and dip it in ink in one go, and began to create.

The pen in Dongfang Xue's hand hung in the air, thinking about the word 'people' that the examiner said. What is the people? Does it refer to a high-ranking official or dignitary with prestige and status? Or does it refer to a farmhouse that rests at sunrise and sunset, facing the loess with its back to the sky?

If there are officials, there will be officials, and although there is only one word for the people in the examination question, there is no distinction between the people and the officials, so how can the people without officials be called the people? If there are officials, there will be a country, and where will the officials come from without a country, and where will the people come from?

After thinking for a while, Dongfang Xue smiled faintly, and began to write like a god, as one word by one appeared vividly on the white paper on the table, an article pen went dragon and snake, Dongfang Xue picked up the article she wrote and blew the handwriting that had not yet dried, then called the examiner and submitted the article.

The examiner walked in front of Dongfang Xue, his eyes did not look at Dongfang Xue, took the article in Dongfang Xue's hand, waved his hand to Dongfang Xue, let Dongfang Xue leave, and then the examiner took the article back to the table where he bought it in front of the examination room and sat down. Thinking of these examiners, he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment and sighed secretly......

But when the examiner lowered his head and looked at Dongfang Xue's article, a pair of eyes could not be taken back, just looking at the handwriting and calligraphy on this paper, it has already been crowned ancient and modern, not looking at the content only to see the handwriting, the examiner has been deeply involved, a burst of majestic power on the paper, the examiner was shocked for a long time and could not come back to his senses, and after the examiner took a deep breath and came back to his senses, and then looked at the writing on the paper, the examiner opened his mouth wide again, and the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

"Someone!" the examiner shouted to his men.

After a while, a subordinate who looked like a guard ran over and asked the examiner, "What's the matter with Lord Shangshu?"

"Just... Just... The young man who just went out! Do you know who it is?" The examiner asked, pointing out the door to the guard-looking person.

Some of the guards were confused, and asked suspiciously, "......What did Lord Shangshu say?"

"Bastard! I'm idle all day!" the examiner roared angrily when he heard that the guards didn't know, which alarmed the candidates in the examination room, and the candidates secretly wondered, what could make the examiner so angry?

The guard was extremely unhappy in his heart. In fact, the guards are not to blame for this incident, after all, there are more scholars from all over the country who come to take the exam, and who can know the identity and origin of each person......?

The examiner's anger forgot one thing, and when the anger in his heart gradually subsided, the examiner saw the name in the lower right corner of this article - Dugu Blood!

"Look it up! Go look up this name, look up this person!"

The chief examiner immediately ordered the guard, the guard heard the examiner's order, glanced at the name on the paper, and immediately ran out to investigate, and after the guard left, the examiner muttered to himself in his heart, the emperor has such a person, you must tell the prince, now the emperor is old, the two princes have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and no one can let go, this is all strength in hand, and they are all strength to compete for the throne......

Dongfang Xue walked out of the examination room, the ghost looked surprised, he didn't expect that Dongfang Xue had already finished answering just half an hour after entering, Dongfang Xue smiled, and then the two walked back towards the inn.

"How did the young master answer?" Ghost Yi followed behind Dongfang Xue and asked presumptuously.

"It's okay!" Dongfang Xue smiled, in a good mood, thinking in her heart, she is a person who has read countless books in the ghost abyss, how can it be difficult to get yourself from the test questions of a small dynasty.

Seeing Dongfang Xue's confident eyes, Dongfang Xue's status in Ghost Yi's heart has risen a few notches again, he is really with the right person, whether it is martial arts or literary talent, his young master is so outstanding, he really made the right bet at the beginning......

Just as the two of them were walking on the way back to the inn, suddenly a person ran towards Dongfang Xue and the others, Dongfang Xue had already noticed it, but he looked at the person who came but wondered, I don't recognize this person......

The ghost wanted to stop it, but when he saw that it was a woman running towards Dongfang Xue, he also relaxed, and he didn't stop it, and he couldn't help but guess in his heart, The young master couldn't help but say in martial arts, even this woman's peach blossom luck is the best in ancient and modern times......

The person who came was a young woman, the woman's light veil covered her face but she could vaguely see the woman's appearance through the veil, although it was not as good as Bai Fei, but it could be said that it was a country and a city, the woman ran to Dongfang Xue and asked: "Big brother let Yanran wait so hard! It's all ......" the woman said and began to raise her head to recall, and when she remembered, she looked at Dongfang Xue resentfully and said, "It's been eight years!"

Dongfang Xue heard that the woman reported to her home, and then she remembered, isn't this the emperor who lived her life in Luo Yuncheng, they all said that the female college has changed eighteen, but I didn't expect that in eight years, this little girl has changed so much, and she was still weak and weak at the beginning, but she didn't expect that she was already such a slim girl today.

"Look at my brain, you've grown up, you've changed so much, I can't even recognize it......" Dongfang Xue smiled and explained to Huangfu Yanran.

"Hmph!" Huangfu snorted angrily and resentfully.

"Where have you been all these years, big brother, I have looked for you in the imperial capital, why haven't you found it?" Huangfu Yanran stared at Dongfang Xue with big eyes and asked.

"There are some trivial matters at home that have been delayed, but I didn't expect this delay to be eight years......" Dongfang Xue explained to the woman in front of her.

Just as the two were chatting happily, several maidservants chased after them and shouted: "Miss... Miss ......"

After several maidservants caught up, they knelt in front of Huangfu Yanran and saluted Huangfu Yanran. Huangfu Yanran snorted angrily, and several people immediately got up and walked behind Huangfu Yanran.

"Your body ......" Dongfang Xue looked at the woman in front of her and asked worriedly.

"Big brother, rest assured, Yan Ran's illness has long been controlled under the master's conditioning, and Yan Ran is now the strength of the late stage of Ling Silence. Huangfu said to Dongfang Xue with a smile.

Dongfang Xue couldn't help but be secretly frightened, thinking that Huangfu Yanran still didn't have the slightest cultivation like herself, but she didn't expect that in just eight years, she had also cultivated to the late stage of spiritual silence, in addition to talent, Dongfang Xue was very interested in her master in Huangfu Yanran's mouth.

"That's good, that's good!I don't know who your master is?" Dongfang Xue asked Huangfu Yanran.

"Uh..." Huangfu Yanran paused, and then said angrily: "He's a bad old man, he doesn't have a good line all day, and he knows how to gamble!"

"Big brother, let's not talk about him, Yanran misses you so much! Yanran invites you to dinner!" While speaking, Huangfu Yanran kneaded the corners of Dongfang Xue's clothes, staring at Dongfang Xue with big eyes and pleading.

As soon as the ghost saw the two of them like this, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but when he saw Dongfang Xue looking at him, he immediately stopped smiling and became serious.

Dongfang Xue stretched out her hand to take away Huangfu Yanran's little hand, and when she took it and just stretched out her hand, the maid behind Huangfu Yanran was immediately furious: "Bold!

Dongfang Xue was shocked in place, whether to withdraw the outstretched hand or continue to stretch out became an embarrassing question, what Dongfang Xue didn't expect was that just when she didn't know whether to withdraw her hand or what, suddenly Huangfu Yanran's little hand grabbed his hand, and then the two big eyes turned to the maids and said, "This is my brother! It's not your turn to shout five or six!

Seeing that Huangfu Yanran was angry, several maidservants immediately knelt on the ground again, and hurriedly explained: "Miss, we can't go back......!

Before the maidservants could finish speaking, Huangfu Yanran interrupted and said, "It's enough to have a big brother to protect me, you are not allowed to follow!"

After speaking, before the Dongfang Snow Ghost or two people could react, they saw Huangfu Yanran pulling Dongfang Xue and running up, and in Dongfang Xue's surprise, there was no shadow on the crowded street after a while.

"Miss! Miss!"

"Young master!"

The exclamations of the maidservant and the oni resounded behind him, but after a while, there was no sound. Huangfu Yanran's strength in the late stage of Lingling is not a show, it is a real cultivation, if she wants to run away with those ordinary maidservants, it is really impossible to catch up.

After the two stopped, Huangfu Yanran panted and turned her head to look behind her, and saw that she could no longer see the shadows of the maids, so Huangfu Yanran breathed a long sigh of relief.

Dongfang Xue calmly looked at the Huangfu Yanran in front of her, she didn't expect that after eight years, this little girl would be so lively and cute after she recovered from her illness.

Huangfu Yanran found that Dongfang Xue was looking at her, and thought that the palm of Dongfang Xue she had just grabbed had not yet been released, and suddenly a blush crept up her cheeks, bright red like a red apple.

"Hahaha......" Dongfang Xue couldn't help laughing when she saw this, and then let go of Huangfu Yanran's little hand, which was as soft as jade.

"Don't laugh!" Huangfu Yanran shouted at Dongfang Xue.

"Okay, okay, I don't laugh!" Dongfang Xue stopped smiling, looked at the shy Huangfu Yanran in front of her and asked, "Why does Miss Huangfu want to invite me to dinner?"

"Don't call Miss Huangfu! Call me Yanran!" said Huangfu Yanran to Dongfang Xue with resentment.

"Okay, Miss Yanran, where do you want to invite me to dinner?" Dongfang Xue then asked.

"Remove the young lady! and call it Yanran!" said Huangfu Yanran reluctantly.

"Okay, okay, Yanran, right, where do you want me to eat?" Dongfang Xue asked again with a smile.

"Let's go to the Moon Viewing Tower! I don't know if the eldest brother has been there?" Huangfu Yanran nodded with satisfaction, and asked Dongfang Xue with big eyes.

Isn't Guanyue Tower the place where I took Bai Yan's second daughter to eat a few days ago? After thinking about it, it was not bad, and there was a lot of time today, Dongfang Xue nodded and said to Huangfu Yanran: "Okay, then go there, but today it is not you who invite me, I invite us Yanran to dinner." The two chatted as they walked towards the west of the city.

"Why is this?" asked Dongfang Xue suspiciously.

"This is to repay Miss Huangfu for saving her life that day!" Dongfang Xue said.

"Don't call me Miss......" Huangfu Yanran heard Dongfang Xue call herself Miss again, and suddenly reluctantly.

"Okay, good!" Dongfang Xue interrupted Huangfu Yanran's words and continued: "This two, count me as making amends to Yanran, the crime of not saying goodbye back then!"

Dongfang Xue said as Huangfu Yanran nodded in agreement.

Dongfang Xue continued: "Third, it can be regarded as a celebration of Yanran's recovery, let's meet again, as for the fourth......"

Dongfang Xue wanted to speak and stopped, Huangfu Yanran turned his head to look at Dongfang Xue and asked, "What is the fourth? Why didn't the big brother say it?"

Dongfang Xue smiled and explained to Huangfu Yanran: "The fourth is to celebrate my gold list title in advance!"

"Wow!" Huangfu Yanran exclaimed, and then asked excitedly: "Big brother, have you gone to take the imperial examination?"

Dongfang Xue saw Huangfu Yanran's excited expression, and asked puzzledly: "What's the matter?" I just finished participating today, and I'm on the way back, wasn't it intercepted by you?" After speaking, Dongfang Xue still looked a little reluctant.

Huangfu Yanran heard Dongfang Xue say that he had participated in the imperial examination, and immediately closed her mouth happily, and after a while, she looked at Dongfang Xue, and after a while, she looked at Dongfang Xue, and when she found that Dongfang Xue had been staring at herself suspiciously, Huangfu Yanran became even more shy.

Dongfang Xue didn't explain, the two of them came to the downstairs of Guanyue like this, the little two who received in front of the building seemed to know Huangfu Yanran, but after glancing at Dongfang Xue beside Huangfu Yanran suspiciously, he took the two of them directly to the third floor, and the two of them found a pavilion closest to the inside and sat in.

After a while, several maidservants came up with the menu, and several maidservants respectfully handed the menu to Huangfu Yanran, and then waited aside.

Because Dongfang Xue said that he wanted him to have a treat, he said that Huangfu Yanran handed the menu to Dongfang Xue and asked Dongfang Xue to order, Dongfang Xue refused, and then folded the menu back to Huangfu Yanran and asked Huangfu Yanran to order, because Dongfang Xue has never been picky eater, and it is better to let the girl order.

Huangfu Yanran knew that Guanyue Tower was more expensive, so she simply ordered two dishes, mainly because she was afraid that Dongfang Xue would keep saying that she wanted to treat her, and when it was time to pay the bill, she was afraid that he would be embarrassed again.

After ordering, Huangfu Yanran smiled at Dongfang Xue, Dongfang Xue understood Huangfu Yanran's worries, stopped the maid who was about to retire, ordered a few more special dishes, and then sat down.

"Brother Dugu, do you plan to be an official when you come to the imperial capital this time?" asked Huangfu Yanran looking at the handsome boy in front of him.

Dongfang Xue paused for a moment, and then remembered that Huangfu Yanran didn't know his real name, so he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I bought a mansion in this imperial capital, and I plan to get a fame!"

............

......

The two of them chatted on the moon viewing tower like this, it was not yet noon, so there were few people in the building, eight years, the boys and girls at the beginning had grown up, and everyone's hearts were filled with water like Hanging Moon Lake, and the microwave ripples in the water with different ripples.

I saw that the two of them were talking and laughing, reminiscing about the past for a while, and being dignified for the present, so they were not free and easy......
