An ox cart passed along the street, crushing the frost on the ground, and the weather was cold, and the street was sparsely populated, except for some vendors, who were still selling their stalls.

But when they arrived near the inn where Tong Sheng lived, the pedestrians were bustling, the scholars were coming, the merchants were attracted, and the bullock cart had to gradually stop in the noisy crowd.

The coachman, dressed in coarse cloth, bowed his head and asked, "The market ahead, it is difficult to drive, do you want to walk?"

"Good. There was a faint word in the car.

When he looked up again, the coachman was startled, the figure was gone, only a small piece of broken silver rolled on a few cases, and the cool breeze whirled the door curtain.

The middle-aged scholar has arrived in the flow of people at this time, dressed in green clothes, his temples are slightly white, and his face has faintly wrinkles, but he is still handsome, and he has a little more vicissitudes.

The flow of people went to the inn, and the official arranged the time for the annual examination, intentionally or unintentionally forming a grand bazaar, cooperating with the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, putting up lights, taking advantage of the joyful infection, and taking out the silver from the candidate's pocket.

The middle-aged scholar smiled at this grand scene, walked slowly, stopped in front of an inn, and glanced at the plaque on it: Yi Anju.

"It's not easy to live in a county town. The smile retracted, and he stepped in.

Passing through the lobby of the inn, I saw that there were many diners, the shopkeeper and the men were busy shuttling, and the middle-aged scholar was not in a hurry to take a look at the spacious hall, so he flipped through the menu, ordered a few drinks and dishes at random, and sat down in a secluded corner.

The sound of the water surged, and the middle-aged scholar heard the street vendors shouting: "Stinky tofu, selling stinky tofu... When the prince ate the stinky tofu, the prince said that it was good. ”

"Last time, the Wang Taoist priest, with a shake of the brush in his hand, threw out a silver wire to eliminate demons, and the white light was overwhelming, and the light of the sun and the moon was covered up, and the rat spirit in the room was suddenly frightened......... "This is the storyteller in the teahouse opposite."

"My lord, it's okay. Give us poor people a bite to eat, and do good deeds. "It's the sound of a homeless man turned beggar, begging.

The middle-aged scholar listened in a daze, since he resolutely took the cause of lifting people, devoted himself to the immortal gate, the mountain dwelling did not know the years, ten years in the blink of an eye, and then worked hard for the Yu family, and the most retreat was trapped, not seeing outsiders, and the secular atmosphere that came to his face made him both familiar and unfamiliar, and he was in a trance.

"Red Dust...... Pingzhi, how long has it been since you met?" Yu Pingzhi thought secretly, but this melancholy was only for a moment, so he closed his eyes and calmed down, his body couldn't withstand the joy and anger.

I was closing my eyes and thinking, but I suddenly heard a commotion, and I couldn't help but open my eyes to look.

A few scholars gathered around, apparently in a small group, and a young man asked: "Brother He, what questions do you say will come out of this scientific examination? Now these three invigilators, will there be other invigilators?"

It turned out that they were all students who were taking the exam, and they were concerned about their future.

This He Tongsheng smiled when he heard this: "I will send an invigilator over, this is the county exam, not as good as before, once you get the Xiucai, you are preparing for the imperial court officials, if you want to go to the official career, you can always be from the nine grades, and the court will give you a personality, hehe, I heard that the immortal path cultivation also needs this thing." ”

A Tongsheng saw that He Tongsheng was a little unhappy when he was involved in the fairy road, and said: "Forget the previous words, our Tongsheng is when we lay a solid foundation, and we don't whisper strange powers, and the fairy road is not what we are discussing now." ”

This is the right reason, everyone can't refute it, they look at each other, and they can't help it.

This boy got everyone's attention, and smiled again: "There are things to suppress luck in the examination room, let's make a fuss, the essay is the first, and secondly, we have to figure out the examiner's preferences, which is the way to be serious." ”

"Brother Li, this is true, he is under Meng Lang. He Tongsheng smiled: "However, after the exam, the paper was restricted, and we had to be on the list, how many can there be, and we have to look at the luck, we really can't help but not pay attention to it." ”

There is some truth to this. ”

These children talked, and after ordering food, someone began to speak: "Brother He, who is Ye Qing you admire?"

"The Ye family in Pingshou County, a remote county, I don't hear of the county, I haven't heard of a famous person!"

He Tongsheng is He Mao, stopped to take a sip of tea, and explained with a smile: "It's usually like this, but don't you hear about Longjun's banquet?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and then someone sighed: "It turned out to be 'Tongjinshi', I also watched this song "Viewing Taiping", I don't want it to be from Pingshou County, it's unimaginable." ”

"The spirit of the earth and the descendants of the people, this is the norm, don't you hear that the way of heaven is impermanent, this thing that only comes from the sky, who can say for sure?"

"This Ye Qing is only fifteen years old, Brother He is fortunate to see, what kind of character is it?" someone asked sourly.

He Mao pondered for a long time: "I have been in contact with him, I have paid careful attention to it, his words and deeds are friendly, his character is rigorous, and it is said that he lives in this store, and he will shout out." ”

Hearing this, Yu Pingzhi glanced at it, didn't care, just listened lightly, and then the guy served the dish and was about to retreat, but he was handed over: "Wait a minute." ”

The guy responded: "Guest, what's the matter with you?"

"Ask you a few questions, and you'll be rewarded for answering them. Yu Pingzhi said, a piece of broken silver was thrown on the table, the guy looked at it, but the snowflakes were broken silver, it looked like there were one or two, so he hurriedly said: "You always ask!"

"Tong Sheng Ye Qing lives here?"

"Yes, it lives in Benke. The guy responded when he heard this, and Xindao came to visit Ye Gongzi again.

"Which room?"

"It's the second floor, and it's opposite this one, Tianzi No. 6 room. ”

Yu Pingzhi was noncommittal, this statement was sincere, and asked carefully: "When do you usually come out?" ”

"This ......," the man replied, "and now it is time to come out for dinner, sometimes a little later, with a lady." ”

"Is it a wife?"

"She came out with a hood, she couldn't see clearly, it's hard to say what her identity is!"

Yu Pingzhi frowned slightly, thinking: "Could it be this woman?"

asked more details, and saw that the guy was sweating on his forehead when he answered, so he waved his hand: "Understood, you can go down with the money." ”

The man's eyes lit up, he grabbed the broken silver and thanked him constantly, and retreated.

In a moment, a teenager descended the stairs.

With a fair face, a slender body, and cold eyes, Yu Pingzhi watched silently, and heaven and earth were different in his eyes.

"Hey, there's something strange about this physiognomy skeleton. ”

This Ye Qing person, his eyes are like paint, his body is slender, his gestures are free, and in the faint way, a graceful temperament emerges.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that although these are not fake, but only on the surface, but inside is very empty.

Yu Pingzhi didn't think so simply, and continued to look.

"Hey, if there are some foundations, look carefully inside, there are still some traces, this is strange, in general, I was born with a Quaker, and then I cut it off, and now I have luck. ”

"I see that there are changes in it, but I want to see it. ”

Ye Qing didn't notice this person at this time, but saluted to the table: "It turned out to be Brother He, I met very happily a while ago, I don't want to meet again today, and besides, don't mention this Tongjinshi again, just joke in private, the list is imminent, don't let me get in the way of the examiner's eyes!"

He Mao patted his head and rejoiced: "Look at my fast mouth, don't take it as an example, sit down quickly, lead you to meet my friends, and have a few drinks together!"

The surrounding children were overjoyed, and when they saw that Ye Qing really sat down, they all said hello and took the opportunity to make friends.

He Mao shouted to Xiao Er again: "Add another pair of dishes and chopsticks, and serve two pots of wine!"

Ye Qing smiled when he heard this, this was a non-drunk posture, so he had to give it up: "Since that's the case, you're welcome!"

"Brother Ye's words. "The children are all laughing.

Ye Qing stayed here for a few days, and attracted attention because of his literary name and the Dragon Palace banquet.

has prejudices, wants to get acquainted with some people, has experience in previous lives, is accustomed to these banquets and literary affairs, always talks about the essence of some articles, and expresses himself appropriately, but does not steal the limelight from anyone, and the relationship between the literary world is still harmonious.

"The day of the big exam is approaching, I will drink this cup first, and I wish you all the title of the gold list!" Ye Qing sat down, poured a full glass of wine, and got up to speak.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was awe-inspiring, only five days away from the big exam day, and they couldn't help but feel related, and they got up and said: "I wish me to wait for the title of the gold list!"

After speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Ye Qing also drank all the wine before sitting down to eat the dishes formally, and asked casually, "I don't know how you are ready?"

At this time, whether they are well prepared or not, at least on the surface, they are full of confidence, and it is difficult to distinguish whether the occasional sigh is clumsy or humble.

The crowd spoke,

Yu Pingzhi saw it, and suddenly saw a trance, and saw a dragon turtle faintly appearing above Ye Qing.

The dragon turtle dragon head turtle body, snake tail and phoenix claws, although it is not a real dragon, but it is no worse than a real dragon, this dragon turtle hangs down a trace of green gas, and there is a trace of purple gas in the gestation.

"There are different roots, and look at who is behind this!"

Gradually, it was a gray and gloomy place, and the only trace to follow was a little glimmer of light, which followed the light, and looked far away, it was a pillar of light that towered over the top of the invisible top.

There was a solid figure standing in the pillar of light, Yu Pingzhi was shocked, pressed the throbbing in his heart, and looked carefully: "This must be the foundation of this person!"

But before he could look closely, the dragon turtle that was floating suddenly roared angrily, and everything in front of him was shattered.

Yu Pingzhi only felt a sweetness in his throat, and immediately knew that Lu Dao had suffered a backlash.

"This dragon turtle is Taiping Lake, if this son is favored by the dragon king, before the luck disappears, snooping is a taboo, but unfortunately, this is only available to Shikui. ”

A trace of enlightenment instantly surged into his heart: "No matter how you hide it, it is a variable to hide this son! My nephew's fortune has been partially devoured by this person, but this is not a lot, is it war or peace now?"

"It's a war, maybe there are people behind this son, it's not good to cause a vicious war, it's peace, but it's a loss, and in the same imperial examination, I'm afraid there will be conflicts. ”

I had to think about it, I only felt dizzy, and Zhilu Dao caused a hurried backlash, so I hurriedly stood up, reluctantly passed, called an ox cart, and ordered: "Go to Yu Mansion!"
