Chapter Seventy-Four: The Tribute Courtyard

Xu Xian took the title and looked at it, as usual, he made three titles in the four books, composed three essays, and wrote another poem with five words and eight rhymes.

The Analects are two sentences of "fear of the words of adults", the mean is two sentences of "the gentleman is not like this", and Mencius is the two sentences of "to look at the master and the son to the farthest". The title of the poem is an example of a seven-character poem, and this time it is very special, with only six words, "The young leaves of a thousand forests are hidden".

Xu Xian's heart moved, recalled the hundreds of written articles he memorized, and put pen to paper. You don't have to think about what peerless good writing you want to make, but the place where you write is also a cluster of flowers.

Governor Chen sat on the main examination platform, drinking the best Biluochun, but he was a little absent-minded. Finally stood up and arched his hand to the other examiner next to him: "Master Zhang, do it, I'll go and inspect it." The Lord Zhang praised and said, "Lord Chen is so diligent!" The other party has a good relationship with King Liang, and he is a local official, which is very different from his own poor Beijing official.

Chen Lunqiang smiled and said, "The emperor's order is here, so I have to do this." "What he received was not an imperial order, but the life of King Liang.

Governor Chen paced slowly, but he still quickly arrived at Xu Xian's room, pretending to look in casually, but his heart was in a struggle. No one is born a bad person, he has read the sages for half his life, and he understands all the truths he should understand, and now he is asked to murder the future of a person, and this person also has a life-saving grace for his wife and children, which really makes him hesitate. But in the same way, for the sake of his wife and children, he also had to do this against his will.

I comforted myself in my heart and said: I just gave a bottle of medicine, if there is no medicine, my wife may not be able to give birth. And I also gave him the position of the head of the Three Emperors Patriarch Association, which can be regarded as a debt of not indebtedness. Now, there is no way to do it now.

Although Xu Xian in the room did not look back, he immediately noticed it. Yun Ling looked at Governor Chen's expression, and had already guessed most of the reasons, and couldn't help frowning secretly in his heart, "How can I ever be sorry for you, you are afraid of power to do such a thing!" But he also knew that if Governor Chen was bent on harming him, he would be very passive.

However, Governor Chen paced twice with his hands behind his back, and then went to other places, showing that he still had no plan in his heart. Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and continued to concentrate on the exam. After a while, I heard a burst of crying, and the Xiucai in the room all poked their heads to grasp what was going on, and immediately a "room teacher" came to urge them to concentrate on the exam.

A day passed quickly, Xu Xian went out of the gate of the Tribute Academy, and only then did he listen to Xiucai's discussion, so-and-so cheated in the exam, and was discovered by the chief examiner, Lord Chen, and kicked out of the examination room. I heard that a cheat sheet was hidden in the barrel of the pen. The showmen laughed and discussed, "Count him unlucky." "Isn't this time never hired? "You deserve it, the court chooses a scholar, and it's just that your skills are not as good as others, and you still use such means." ”

All gloating, none sympathetic. It's not that the ancients didn't have compassion, everyone here is an opponent, working hard for their own future, and each is just relying on his ability. If someone cheats, it is tantamount to harming everyone's interests.

Xu Xian stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what evidence there is for that person to cheat." He was a head taller than everyone else, and he stood out from the crowd at this station, which attracted everyone's attention.

A Xiucai said as a matter of course: "The dignified prefect, can you still wronged him?"

Xu Xian shook his head, this prefect is afraid that he wants to wronged himself now, and he didn't do it today, but it doesn't mean that he can't do it, there are still a few days before the end of the autumn season! If he just takes a small note and insists that he is cheating, how can he justify him?

What to do? Kill him, just kidding. Although this Chen Governor is not a good person, he is not a bad person. It is even said that it is already a fate for ordinary people to meet such an official. He was just an ordinary person who succumbed to the power of King Liang, and in the original plot, in the end, he had a conflict with King Liang because of Xu Xian, and under the persuasion of his wife, he resigned and returned to his hometown. Besides, aren't people still hesitating? Not to mention "killing," it's not even an "attempt."

Xu Xian thought about it and couldn't think of a perfect solution. Although Mrs. Chen is a very upright person and can persuade the prefect of Chen to rein in the precipice, she cannot leave the gate of the Tribute Academy during the township examination. Only by making up his mind, if he shows malicious intent, he will take action first, so that a hidden method can subdue him, I hope he can stop the precipice and turn back!

In the next few days, there was nothing to do, and every time Governor Chen had to come to Xu Xian's room to hang around, and every time he hesitated to leave, making Xu Xian angry and funny, he was really unassertive, are you going to be a bad person, or are you going to be a good person?

On the night of August 15, it is already the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the full moon is in the sky. Xu Xian sat in this small room, and he couldn't help but sigh. This is already the last night, and by finishing this last text on the table, it will be the end of everything. After the list is released, you can accompany Bai Suzhen back to Hangzhou. He couldn't wait to see her look like she wore the phoenix crown and xia veil.

The "hesitant" Governor Chen came to Xu Xian's room again and stood in front of Xu Xian's room for a long time, but finally left. Xu Xian secretly sighed that his conscience was not clear, but he didn't know that Governor Chen was not only because of the word conscience, but also because he didn't want to get involved in the party struggle, and if he really slandered Xu Xian, he didn't know how to explain to his upright lady when he went back, and how could he hide it from outsiders.

Governor Chen is now thinking about how to deal with King Liang, thinking about it again and again, and sighing secretly: "Xu Xian, Xu Xian, I can't harm you, and I can't harm myself, this time I can only let you fall off the list, which can be regarded as an explanation." Wait until three years from now!"

However, Xu Xian, who is working hard to write, is facing another crisis at the moment.

A green shadow came to the gate of the Gongyuan, it was Xiaoqing, she finally made up her mind to destroy Xu Xian's imperial examination, so that he could not go to the capital, so he could only stay here to accompany his sister, and, herself. As everyone knows, someone has already set up a guarantee thousands of miles away.

The soldiers outside the Gongyuan turned a blind eye to her, and Xiaoqing glanced at the gate and was about to enter it. But suddenly four divine soldiers came out and shouted: "Who is the demon, dare to trespass into the science field, and don't retreat quickly." "Even the Three Emperors Patriarch Association also has such a gate god guard, not to mention that it is a dignified tribute courtyard, and its strength is also much higher.

If it was Xiaoqing in the past, she might have to think about it, but now that her strength has increased greatly, she is naturally not afraid. He smiled and said, "A few little gods also dare to stop this girl, why don't you quickly give way and let this girl in." ”

The heavenly soldiers and generals didn't say a word, and attacked with various weapons. However, Xiaoqing just smiled slightly, held her chin with her hand, and exhaled softly. In the lingering fragrance, the heavenly soldiers and generals immediately fell to the ground, although their eyes were still open, they were a little confused, and their bodies couldn't move.

This is Xiaoqing's stunt - poison. She is a poisonous snake herself, and she has devoured the toad essence of Neidan, and there happens to be a poisonous word in her surname. She calmed down and concentrated on cultivating her own "poison", and now she tried it, and the results were miraculous.

Xiaoqing stepped on the heavenly soldiers and generals on the ground and walked into the tribute courtyard. But unconsciously in the Temple of Literature next to the Gongyuan, a burst of light flashed, and a message spread directly to the sky. After all, the Gongyuan Science Field is not a small place compared to the Three Emperors Patriarch Society.

Xiaoqing hid and quickly found Xu Xian's room. Xu Xian looked at him in surprise, lowered her voice and asked, "Why are you here?" The moonlight sprinkled a large patch on her body through the shadow of the tree, and she smiled, like a patterned poisonous snake in the dark, weird and beautiful.

Xiaoqing stepped in and reached out to grab the article on Xu Xian's desk. Xu Xian hurriedly grabbed her wrist and said, "I haven't done it yet!" but said with a smile: "It's not bad for you to come, it's boring to be alone on a full moon night like this." "Draw a rune to block out all sounds. There are many such practical talismans on the Book of Ink Runes. After thinking about it, he drew another talisman, which can create a little illusion and deceive mortals. lest there be patrols here.

Xiaoqing looked at him and said softly, "Don't blame me, I'll give you a kiss later." Then he broke free from Xu Xian's hand and grabbed the piece of tissue paper. In this case, even Bai Suzhen didn't want to completely snatch this piece of paper from her hand.

Xu Xian was surprised: "What do you want to do?"

Xiaoqing said unabashedly: "You are not allowed to leave your sister in Hangzhou and go to the capital to see that Pan Yu." He added: "This matter is all my own opinion, regardless of my sister's business." ”

Xu Xian finally understood her intentions, and hurriedly said: "I must go, Mingyu has already sent me a letter, even if I fail the exam, I will also go to the capital to study in the Guozijian Middle School, and if I fail the township examination this time, I will have to wait in the capital for three years." Of course, it is impossible for him to leave Bai Suzhen for three years, but at this time, in order to persuade Xiaoqing, he naturally has to say something serious.

"You!" Xiao Qing was speechless, with a lot of hatred in his heart, that Pan Yu was really not easy to deal with.

Xu Xian stretched out his hand to stop her delicate waist, and persuaded softly: "Don't play a little surname, wait for the end of next year's spring." I'll try to solve this matter, and I won't leave my sister and you alone. And when we become stronger in our cultivation, even though it is thousands of miles away, it will be very easy to meet. ”

Xiaoqing suddenly raised the exam paper and said, "Xu Xian, if I really destroy this exam paper, do you blame me?" The exam paper is in her hand, as long as she uses a little force, it will become a piece of waste paper.

Xu Xian wanted to say "weird" and coax Xiao Qingfang to take this exam paper, but finally sighed and said, "How weird! All mistakes are my fault." She was ready for the exam papers to be torn up, but she didn't expect that her imperial examination would be broken in her hands. But who is to blame?
