Sitting on the roof of the inn, Ye Wen looked at the junior sister who was sitting next to him, and wanted to say something, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he closed his mouth again.

"What does Senior Brother want to say?"

Ye Wen rubbed his nose with his fingers, this handsome signature move was used at such a time, and it was really a big killer to relieve embarrassment: "It's nothing, it's just strange......"

Ning Ruxue tilted her head and looked at her senior brother: "Do you wonder why I agreed to let Miss Hua stay in Shushan?" Ning Ruxue showed a smile, but her eyes narrowed slightly, this expression was very dangerous: "Senior brother thinks that senior sister is the kind of person who is unreasonable with his surname?"

"Of course not!" Ye Wen decisively chose this correct choice, no matter what the facts were, only this answer would not make things worse: "Senior sister is very reasonable, but junior sister, don't you dislike Miss Hua?"

When Ning Ruxue heard this, her face turned slightly red, and she muttered softly: "Who called her always pestered her senior brother before! ”

"If you leave her in Shushan now, won't she appear in front of your eyes every day in the future?"

"In the past, she was under the orders of the Tianle Gang, and she did it for her own gang. Now ......" Ning Ruxue thought of what happened to Huayi, and she was also very sympathetic: "What's more, this kind of feeling that the whole world is not allowed to live in, senior brother should also have it......"

She and Ye Wen are both abandoned babies who have been abandoned at the foot of Shushan Mountain since they were children and were picked up and raised by their masters. When I grow up and become sensible, I will have a period of time to think about why I was abandoned, why my parents don't want me, and why can't I tolerate heaven and earth?

It was thanks to the master and senior brother who took care of him that he was able to cross that heart barrier, and then remembered that Ye Wen was only able to take care of him at the beginning, and it was estimated that it would be much more difficult than himself to cross this hurdle.

Ye Wen scratched his face and smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer this question.

"Just kidding, Lao Tzu is here as soon as he opens his eyes, how do you know how the dead ghost spent that period of time before?" As for what happened to me in that world before, although I was not very happy, I would not have this feeling of 'abandonment'. Therefore, it is not clear at all about the feeling that Ning Ruxue said, 'the world is so big but there is no place for itself'.

Ning Ruxue saw that he didn't speak, but said that the passage was not easy, Ye Wen didn't want to talk, so he didn't say any more, but suddenly asked: "Miss Hua stayed on Shu Mountain, senior brother is very happy, right?"

"Huh?"

Suddenly such a sentence came out, Ye Wen was also taken aback, and said in his heart that this aunt and grandmother had come to test herself again, and she was flustered in her heart and didn't know how to respond, but she immediately said: "How come?" Then he pretended to look left and right, it was pitch black, and the surrounding rooms had turned off the lights, and there was silence, and at this time, a gust of autumn wind blew, which was really cool.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that it would feel a little cold, but Ye Wen and Ning Ruxue are both people in the rivers and lakes with advanced kung fu, and this cold air can't help them, but Ye Wen suddenly said: "The weather is getting colder, and my junior sister is wearing such a thin dress, I'm afraid I will feel a little cold!" After speaking, he opened his hands and made a gesture of holding Ning Ruxue in his arms.

Ning Ruxue also rolled her eyes when she saw him talking about him left and right. What's more, with her cultivation, she is not afraid of this cold at all. Don't say that this bit of coldness is in the cold winter wax moon, and the cold can't hurt her in the slightest - after stepping into the innate world, ordinary weather changes can no longer affect these martial arts masters.

However, she still moved her position for a moment, and then leaned on Ye Wen's shoulder, feeling the warm arms of her senior brother wrapping around her.

The two of them snuggled together like this, looking up at the starlight in the sky, Ye Wen hugged the warm fragrance and jade in his arms, and he was also very happy in his heart, he just wanted to keep hugging like this.

"Senior brother, do you remember the time when you got sick?"

Ye Wen tilted his head and said with a smile: "Didn't you get seriously ill at the beginning, and then asked me to run to the county town to find a doctor on your back?"

He was just joking casually, because often girls say this, and Bacheng has such a plot.

As soon as he didn't want to open his mouth, Ning Ruxue's pink fist actually knocked on his chest, and said dissatisfiedly: "Senior brother is talking nonsense again, it's obvious that my senior brother is sick and dying, so I ran a long way to find a doctor to help my senior brother see the disease!"

"......" Ye Wen was speechless, and secretly scolded his predecessor in his heart: "Why did you be so cowardly in your sister's past? Now that you are dead, this mess will all fall on me!"

Ning Ruxue didn't know what Ye Wen was thinking, so she just continued: "At that time, Senior Brother's body was very poor, and he would be tired from practicing a set of swordsmanship.

Yu Yewen finally understood that the relationship was so bad for this buddy, no wonder the martial arts were so painful. It's just that he has a bit of a talent for practicing qi, so he can rely on internal qi to maintain health and nourish his body. At the same time, this talent was inherited by himself, and later his internal strength became more and more vigorous, and his body slowly got better.

"Lao Tzu only said that his body was weak at that time because he was injured by that Zhang Gui, and now it seems that there is such a reason for it!"

Ning Ruxue leaned into Ye Wen's arms again: "Senior brother is much stronger now!" After saying this, Ning Ruxue's face immediately turned red, Ye Wen looked from behind, and found that Ning Ruxue's neck also had a faint red glow, which made people think about it, and on the spur of the moment, he actually kissed it lightly on the neck.

"Ah!" Ning Ruxue was taken aback by Ye Wen's action, but she never imagined that her senior brother would suddenly despise herself, but she was startled and immediately stopped her voice, although her face was red, she didn't dodge, but quietly felt the itchy feeling coming from her neck.

Ye Wen was also excited, and after kissing him, he didn't continue, he was really afraid that he would not be able to control it if he continued. But the hand was hugged a little tighter, and in this night, the two of them seemed to melt into one.

The second ...... said, "Alas, senior brother, didn't you rest yesterday?"

When he got up early in the morning, he was bumped into by Xu Xian, Ye Wen said hello listlessly, and casually responded: "Ah! It may be that I have been sleeping in the open all day these days, and I am a little unaccustomed to suddenly having a bed to sleep in, so I don't sleep well!"

Xu Xian also teased when he heard this: "Senior brother is really not a person who can enjoy happiness, I can't sleep well with a bed and a warm quilt! Senior brother, I slept very sweetly, and finally eliminated the fatigue of these days!"

He was born in everyone, and he has never suffered anything in his life, and he only suffered a little after going to Shushan, but in terms of living standards, it is still almost the same as at home.

Eat well, drink well, and sleep well every day! What's more, the Xu family sent a lot of handymen and maidservants to Shushan, and Xu Xian really had a maid who specially served him to dress and wash.

Therefore, when I was in the mountains, I didn't have anything at all except for the hard work of practicing. Now that I have come down to the mountain, I can be regarded as experiencing the real life of the rivers and lakes.

Sleeping in the open is a very common thing for the people of the rivers and lakes, which really made this Xu Gongzi suffer a lot, and at the beginning, Xu Xian would rather stay vigil all night without sleeping than find a place to lie down. Later, I couldn't stand it anymore and gradually got used to it.

At that time, he didn't complain about anything: "The heroes in the book are not like this! People eat meat and drink a lot, and they are not afraid of a place where they don't live wherever they go, and they all use silver to eat and settle bills, and they don't need to look for money! Senior brother, I think we should try this." ”

Ye Wen directly gave him a sentence: "Loser!" and ignored him, he knew that it would be a matter of time for this kid to go crazy, and it would be over after that.

Xu Xian, who suddenly suffered a little, is now in the capital, and he can finally have a good time, yesterday he ran out with Huang Rongrong to go around, if it weren't for Huang Rongrong, a girl born of a thief, who is quite sensitive to money, this kid would really be able to stage a big sip of wine and a big piece of meat to eat and settle the bill with silver.

Of course, Ye Wen didn't know these at this time, but pressed his eyebrows: "By the way, yesterday you bought that ginseng and told me to stew chicken soup, if you want to give a gift, you have to sell it again!"

Xu Xian waved his hand casually: "Let's stew it! Anyway, that ginseng can't be used as a gift." I bought it yesterday and found out that the ginseng can be bought in a pharmacy, and it is really embarrassing to use it as a gift. I'm going to see if there's any good old ginseng and buy another one!"

"Oh!" Ye Wen didn't care when he heard him say this, he didn't have a good rest in the open, yesterday he and his junior sister ran to the roof to watch the stars all night, and finally Ning Ruxue snuggled in his arms and slept very sweetly, but he sat there and blew the cold wind all night.

In the early hours of the morning, the junior sister ran back to her room after opening her eyes, ignoring Ye Wen holding her all night and not daring to move, her whole body was numb and unconscious, and she sat there for a long time before she recovered, he just came down from the roof - or was found by a guy and shouted down.

"When was your exam?"

Xu Xian calculated the number, and finally replied: "There are still five days before the palace test, but we need to go to the Gongyuan in advance to report, and then the academicians of the Gongyuan will take us into the imperial city!

"Oh, so the exam is released immediately?"

"On the same day, the list will be released, and the official position of the queen will be arranged in the palace, and then the three people who won the examination, Bangyan, and Tanhua will ride horses to tour the city. Then there is a banquet, and when the banquet is dispersed, it will be over, and then it will be mixed in the officialdom. Xu Xian sighed and said all this, but what he was thinking about in his heart was how to hide this one.

Ye Wen patted his junior brother on the shoulder: "Well, work hard to take the test, it's best to come back with a top prize!"

Xu Xian's face turned dark when he heard this: "Senior brother, have you forgotten that I am here to deal with errands?

Ye Wen didn't care, he just smiled: "It's not easy to get out? Just find two reasons to deal with it! Just say that you have a serious lung disease, you can't work hard, and you can't be an official!"

Although his lung disease has been greatly improved, it is not yet well, and he coughs twice from time to time, and even blind people can tell that he is sick.

"With your current condition, ordinary doctors can't cure it, and then the current emperor will naturally allow you to resign!" Ye Wen touched his chin, and then made a detective posture.

Xu Xian's face was full of black lines, thinking that this senior brother was usually good at everything, but he occasionally had convulsions, and what he said was quite out of tune.

"Will it work?"

"It'll work, trust me!"

After a few days...... Today's surname is Wei Minghong, of course, this name can't be called casually, even if you know, you can't shout it randomly. Wei Hong is only in his twenties this year, not yet thirty, and looking at the two hundred tributes in the hall, he is also very excited.

He has only been on the throne for five years, and in the first two years, it was difficult for him to do what he wanted because of the constraints of some powerful ministers. In the past few years, those ministers have left the court one after another, so Wei Hong is much better. It's just that as soon as these ministers left, he felt that he didn't have many people available at hand.

So since a few years ago, he has been looking forward to the holding of this temple examination.

Each palace examination represents a good opportunity for the emperor to tap his cronies and cultivate a team loyal to him. Wei Hong looked down, and only felt that these tributes were so cute, and his future depended on how many available talents there were.

Among the more than 200 tribute students, the most eye-catching is naturally the famous Pingzhou genius Xu Xian, Wei Hong was also shocked when he saw Xu Xian at the beginning, and said to the little eunuch beside him: "There are such handsome people in the world!" Fortunately, Wei Hong is the emperor, and he has seen a lot of these beautiful women, but it is not that because of Xu Xian's beauty, he did the absurd thing of imitating a certain emperor of the previous dynasty and arresting him into the harem.

However, everyone answered the questionnaire quietly, but only Xu Xian coughed lightly from time to time, which made Wei Hong a little concerned. Looking at the many invigilators around him, he frowned when he heard the cough.

When the scroll was received, the ministers first looked at it, and then handed it to the emperor for inspection. Wei Hong looked at it and found that all the ministers had nominated the same roll of paper as the champion, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

After reading it, I also appreciated it greatly, but I was curious: "Although this volume is not good, it is not enough for you to recommend it together, right?"

He knew that this group of guys would never have a concerted heart, but he didn't want to ask himself, and a minister said: "The minister is very ashamed, this palace test, the level of the Gongsheng's answer sheet is really unsatisfactory, and I ask the emperor to forgive the old minister for the crime of improper selection......"

Wei Hong understood as soon as he heard it, and then read all the test papers, and then understood why he recommended a roll of paper as the top of the list. Because the paper answered by the sentient beings this time was too ordinary, he had to stand out from the crowd, and if he was not elected as the top of the list, it would inevitably make the emperor doubt his own level, so there would be such a situation.

"In this case, I will arrange the rest of the rolls of paper to be seated! The unqualified ones will also be singled out!" Wei Hong was also very unhappy, he was looking forward to a palace examination, but he didn't expect that there was nothing to make.

Fortunately, this champion is well deserved, and it is not too disappointing: "Look at who made this scroll!"

During the exam, there is only a number on the rolling paper, no name, and only after the seat is set will the small bucket on the wax seal in advance be taken out, and the candidate's information is in this bucket.

The eunuch took the keg according to the number, then opened it, took out the note in it, and said loudly: "Xu Xian, Shushan County, Pingzhou!"

"Xu Xian?"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Hong didn't do anything, but the faces of many ministers changed a few times, and immediately some ministers said: "Your Majesty, this Xu Xian does not respect the king, disrupts the examination room, and deserves to be the champion, if the emperor pities his talent, it is better to appreciate the list or explore the flowers!"

But he remembered that there was silence in the Shicai Palace, and only Xu Xian made a sound from time to time, and some of the ministers were dissatisfied with it. In fact, more importantly, this Xu Xian was obviously going to come to take the palace exam, but he came the latest, and he didn't visit around like other candidates, he just rested in the inn for a few days, and then visited the invigilator who presided over the exam, and then went to do his own thing.

Which of these ministers doesn't think very highly of themselves? Now that a little doll in his twenties is called to ignore it, it is inevitable that he will feel angry in his heart. It's just that this young man is proud of his talents, but he is a big madman, and he happens to have such a play, so he wants to make him suffer a little.

Wei Hong was a little surprised to see everyone's words, and he didn't understand why this group of old men couldn't get along with a young man, so he just shirked two sentences when he heard the words: "I have my own measure!"

One sentence blocked all the words of the ministers, and then returned to his study, and said to the little eunuch beside him: "Call Huangfu Zhe!"

The little eunuch took the order and left, and after a while, he brought a heroic man into this hall, which was the emperor Fu Zhe.

Wei Hong summoned Huang Fu Zhe to the front, asked in a low voice, and waited for Huang Fu Zhe to answer: "Xu Xian has only visited the original examination examiner since he entered the capital!" After that, he immediately looked clear, waved his hand to let him retreat, and said with a smile: "This group of old things, really fool me?"

After speaking, he picked up the roll paper and returned to the hall where the tribute students were - the tribute students could not leave after handing in the roll paper, so they had to stay in place and wait for the list to be released. No one dared to speak out in this kind of scene, even if they were nervous and about to go crazy, they could only endure it, only Xu Xian's cough was the most obvious, and a few sounds sounded from time to time.

Everyone inevitably looked at Xu Xian, and some people who held grudges couldn't help but scold: "Where did the tuberculosis ghost come from? Why didn't you die of illness on the road?"

also has a better heart, and sighed secretly: "Even if it is this person's body, I am afraid that I will not be able to get the name of the champion!"

The champion, the list eye, and the flower are not only a great honor for the literati, but also represent the dignity of the royal family. The top three people in the past dynasties are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and their spirit and appearance are all handsome for a while, and there have been unlucky people who have been talented but have been demoted out of the top three because of their ugly appearance.

To say that Xu Xian is definitely the crown of the palace, but at this time, the sick and weak body that coughs twice from time to time must not be liked by everyone, and the emperor doesn't want to choose a sick ghost by himself, right?

Just as he was thinking, the emperor and the ministers rushed in, and finally the little eunuch who had been waiting for the emperor opened a chapter and read the list...... This list was read from the back to the front, first the names of the unqualified were read out one by one, and when these people heard their names, they all turned pale, and if they did not take into account that they were in the imperial city at this time, they would have to fall to the ground immediately.

Then he read the top three and the second class one by one, Xu Xian sat in the crowd, lining himself with the roll paper he answered casually, he should be able to mix the background of the second class jinshi, and then it is more convenient to resign and go to the field. I didn't think that I couldn't hear my name all the time, so I heard the eunuch say loudly at the end of the recitation: "Xu Xian, the first place, the first place, Pingzhou Shushan County, ......"
