Chapter 18 ranks among the top three

It was less than a day before the Kyushu big exam, and with the sound of a wooden door pushing, Qin Fan held the book in his hand and his mind was repeated, and he couldn't wake up from the shock of yesterday for a long time. That day, he and Fuling traveled all the way west, and finally came to the Anle Palace.

Get off the carriage, and the wooden doors of the vermilion walls are tall and conspicuous, and they are more than ten feet. The two ancient stone unicorn sculptures are lifelike, not angry and self-threatening, and awe-inspiring. Hundreds of guards on each side were greeted by them, and they were the only place in the imperial city with armor and swords.

It can also be seen from this how much this King Anle is favored by the saints today, there are countless maids in his house, under the leadership of the guard, Qin Fan and Fuling Chaoli walked, and everywhere they passed, they all bowed and bent down, which also shows that this guard must have a status in the palace is not ordinary.

When Qin Fan stepped through the door, he only felt that his eyes were bright, and the flowers on the rockery and green trees and lakeside of the entire Anle Wangfu did not know the geometry, many but not chaotic, giving people a natural beauty. Among them, the sea of flowers is mixed with exquisite gardens, and there are pavilions among the green trees and lakes, with unique buildings and rockeries.

Qin Fan felt a burst of relaxation, indescribably comfortable. He himself was born in a peasant family, and his residence is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and when he sees such a beautiful scenery at this moment, he naturally feels more relaxed and cordial.

The winding path leads to a secluded place, the more he travels forward, the more he feels relaxed, and in a trance, Qin Fan seems to really feel that he has returned to his hometown under the Wugui Mountain Range, where the smoke of the farmhouse is curling, surrounded by green trees, and the fish in the middle of the crystal clear lake are frolicking and swimming shallowly.

All kinds of wildflowers bloom everywhere, and even some rare exotic flowers can be seen here, pink, pale white, and purple...... All kinds of strange flowers and plants compete for beauty, and the competition of flowers makes Qin Fan a little stunned.

He continued to follow the cold-faced guard, only feeling that one step at a time, one scene at a time, as if walking in the heavens and the world was beautiful and picturesque, probably like that!

The three of them walked through a pink peach blossom forest and bypassed a pavilion building, and the colorful scenery of falling flowers still lingered in his mind. Finally, through a green pine and bamboo forest, the two bamboo houses not far from each other are simple but sturdy in Qin Fan's eyes, and the houses are surrounded by bluestones, which has a unique beauty. Qin Fan stood still, only to feel a gust of fragrant wind rushing into his nose, it was the unique smell of nature, and he would never forget this unique smell.

"This is the temporary residence of the two, and in the future, the two will serve as diners in the Anle Palace. The cold-faced guard was still the same, his tone was not distempered, and he casually threw two pieces of the four-clawed dragon turtle carved with the Anle Palace's four-clawed dragon turtle into the hands of Qin Fan and Fu Ling, and then turned around and left, without saying a word.

"Cut, it's cold enough. Playing with the dragon turtle wooden card in his hand, Fu Ling pouted. Obviously, in the face of this unknown cold-faced guard, Fu Ling was very displeased.

Qin Fan had to smile embarrassedly when he heard this, he was afraid that countless people would rush to come with such treatment! Fu Ling looked impatient, stepped on the blue-gray stone steps, opened the door and there was a faint fragrance wafting out, and there was only a table, a chair and a bed, as well as a few miscellaneous books and a pale white orchid, and the faint fragrance came from the pale white flowers.

Qin Fan smiled knowingly, obviously liking the arrangement and layout of this room, but Fu Ling shook his head and muttered something in his mouth, putting down his baggage Qin Fan was ready to review his homework, and he was getting closer and closer to the big exam, he had to cherish every second of use, even if he had some confidence in the Wenhui exam.

It's just that at this time, my shoulders suddenly sank. It turned out to be Fu Ling, and she said: "Now the name will be worthy of the name in a few days, and I really didn't misunderstand you!" said and grinned, the smile under the moonlight was very cute.

Qin Fan was stunned, and suddenly realized that only he and her were the only ones left in the small bamboo house, and there was never a moment when he felt that he would be so close to the person he had been thinking about for a long time, and he couldn't bear to take a step away from her......

"Don't set foot in my bamboo house without my permission, now I'm going to go home and ask for that letter of recommendation for you, tomorrow's Wenhui exam will definitely not be difficult for you, I won't accompany you!" Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, it seemed to be covered with a thin veil under the moonlight, and it became more and more ethereal and moving.

He just stared at the distant figure motionlessly, and did not wake up until he could no longer see it. Fiddling with the scriptures and texts in his hand, he no longer had the heart to review, and only the slender shadow was left in his mind, and he gradually disappeared as he went.

"It would be nice if this great deserted city was far away......

He had never felt that the distance was so close, in the past, he had always imagined and yearned for the Great Wilderness City, and he longed to step into the Great Wilderness Imperial City in one step, but today he hated the Great Wilderness Imperial City so much. When we got here, it was time to separate! It should be all over! Thinking of the heart that had been calm for a long time, it thumped violently, and the hot feeling made his whole body almost burn, and he couldn't help but die.

Yes, this long-lost pain is here again. Every night, every night, every night...... It has never stopped, but in the past, with her company, this bone-chilling pain seems so insignificant, but every night in the cold night a person silently convulses and pain, does she know?

With a "click", the book in Qin Fan's hand fell to the ground, and he fell asleep in a daze.

The wooden door creaked, Qin Fan, who was dressed in white, was holding a book in his hand, his eyes were red, and his dream yesterday was full of bits and pieces of the past with Fuling, and he didn't know how many times he woke up, and he fell asleep in a daze. I don't know if it's the bone-chilling pain or the idea of being separated from Fu Ling is too cruel, the white shirt and underwear are dry and wet, wet and dry, and I don't know how many times the whole body has been soaked.

"Today is the big exam of the Kyushu Literary Association, mother bless. Qin Fan was dressed neatly, raised his head to the sky and muttered to himself. Immediately, he walked forward with a firm gaze. It's just that Chenxi is gentle, he turned his head to look at the other bamboo house, and was silent.

Immediately, he walked quickly out of the Anle Palace. Now his identity has long been very different, and along the way, many servants and maids bowed to him and nodded, showing envy. It's just that he has never seen the prince of Anle.

Qin Fan went all the way to the Dongfang Qinglong Long Street, a long gate building stands impressively, the building is painted red and green, and the three big characters of "Longmen Pavilion" are written on the upper floor of the high gate, which is the place for the examination of the Wenhui. I saw that at this time, there were countless people coming and going, all of them were taking exams from all over Kyushu, and as soon as noon arrived, it was the beginning of the exam.

......

Qin Fan patted the dust on his shirt and sat in a small dark pavilion house, with nothing but a toilet and a desk. Sundries such as snacks and dry food before coming are also collected by the invigilator, which is the most basic inspection measure to prevent fraud.

Looking at the various exam papers piled up like a hill in front of him, Qin Fan felt apprehensive for a while, he had never taken a similar exam, and the test papers were many and miscellaneous, it was difficult to finish without a whole day's effort, and the time of this essay exam was about until the sun set, which meant that he only had a few hours of effort.

Therefore, it is said that the Kyushu literary examination is very difficult, and most experienced movers will choose topics and do questions, where does Qin Fan know this, frowning and opening one of the test papers, it is naturally as if he has rehearsed it countless times in his mind, but the slight tremor of his fingertips means that his heart is not calm.

When he stared at the test paper on the desk, his movements stiffened, and then his face was happy, and his originally tightly frowning brow couldn't help but ease a lot.

It is said that the Kyushu Wenhui is difficult to test, the reason is that it is many and miscellaneous, not only the orthodox Taoist scriptures, but even many complicated and subtle ancient books and stories are also involved, and often a test question is mixed with countless seemingly irrelevant academic truths. However, Qin Fan did not have a trace of difficulty at the moment, the first question of the test paper was so familiar, when had he memorized it? The gist of the golden mean was which of the more than 2,000 collections he forcibly memorized?

Thinking unconsciously, he has moved the pen and ink in his hand, sometimes his face is happy, sometimes his face is calm, and sometimes he scratches his ears and cheeks impatiently to think deeply, and after a while, a test paper has been densely covered with words, and the smell of ink is full, and then he opened the second test paper, and it is not surprising that he has memorized the essential article. Even when writing was rising, some classic sentences and ancient poems of the previous life were also written by him, and there was a dead silence in his ears, only the sound of flipping through the test papers, and within a few hours, the sun was just setting in the west, and he had unconsciously completed most of the test papers, and the mountain-like test papers were decreasing.

With more than 2,000 ancient books in his collection, he has already memorized and read them by heart, and he has the help of countless classic words and sentences from another world, how can such test papers and exam questions stump him?

Finally, the sun was drowned out by the green mountains for the last trace of light, and a heavy bell rang, making Qin Fan wake up like a dream, the joy on his face had long disappeared, and the blandness on his face could not see joy and anger, but there was a sad color in his eyes, and when the invigilator finally took away the test paper on his desk, he couldn't bear it anymore, and two lines of clear tears fell, and it was already tears in a short time.

"Mother, ......" he spit out four words, and couldn't say a word anymore, the stern mother's voice and smile seemed to be in his ears, and the memories brought him not only those cold answers when writing the test papers, but also the mother's stern scolding and scolding, the scenes in the past seemed to be like yesterday, the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, and the son wanted to be filial and his relatives were not there. If it weren't for his mother's supervision and reprimand, he would never have answered the questions as calmly as he did today, his hands trembled, and Qin Fan never felt that the pen and ink in his hands were so heavy that he could no longer lift them for a moment.

"The past is like smoke, mother, are you okay?" Finally, until today, he finally has the courage to face his mother and face that cruel truth.

"Ahh The gloomy and wooden expressions of the past have also eased a lot, and even brought a rare joy on his face, and his face was full of rare confidence. He is already eighty percent sure of today's literary meeting, and I believe that the top spot of the literary champion is not far away.

Sure enough, until late at night, tens of thousands of exam papers had been released, and the list had been posted. Qin Fan's name is ranked among the top three, ranking third, although it is third, it is already extremely unstoppable, and then as long as he achieves a relatively considerable result in the martial arts test, it will be fine.

As soon as he thought of this, he was even more happy, pushed away the crowd and hurried to the palace of King Anle, he wanted to tell the good news to King Anle, his father and mother in heaven...... Mother, and the Fu Ling who was looking forward to helping him.

The figure is like the wind, and there are still people in his ears who are sighing at the beginning of the phoenix chicks and the like, that is his document name and reputation, right? It's just that the voice is getting more and more blurred, although it is late at night, but he doesn't have a trace of sleepiness, the Anle Mansion of the high-rise building with the vermilion wall in the dark is so conspicuous, as if he can touch it with his hand, it is getting closer and closer, and he doesn't seem to feel the slightest pain on the ** at this moment, and there is only one thought in his heart, "Tell her, tell her the good news." ”
