The first volume begins to cultivate immortals

Chapter Seventy-Five: Shengjing City, the top three in the rain and ink

"Young Master, get up, let's go to dinner, do we eat here or go down?" the scholar asked Yumo.

"Ah, go down! There are many people, and the food is delicious. Yumo yawned and looked at the scholar.

Yumo and the scholar walked to the front building, came to a table, and asked for four dishes, Yumo sat and looked at the two sides of the stairs with a few more banners.

A banner reads: "Xianglian blue water is cool and the summer is long." "On the side there is a blank pair, on which is written a tael of gold.

Yumo was eating while listening to others chatting.

"Look at the pair of Shanglian, they have been hanging for five days, and no candidate can come out of it, it seems that this pair is hung up by a high-ranking official. Whoever can answer can give a leaf of gold!" said a scholarly man to an old man in a splendid costume.

"I see! This is not simple, you see: the fragrant lotus is clear and the water is cool, and the water is cool and the summer is long. The long summer breeze moves the water, and the cool breeze moves the water with the fragrance of blue lotus. This sentence represents a poem, and who can have the intelligence to answer it in just a few days. The old man in Chinese clothes replied.

"Yes, I don't know who came out of it?" the scholar asked the old man.

"I really know this, don't say it!" the old man said in a small voice to the scholar.

"Oh, I see!" said the scholar, too, to the old man's meaning.

Yumo took a look at Shanglian and ate some side dishes, the taste was really not ordinarily good, and it had to be the food of the first champion building in the world!

Yumo looked at the couplet while eating, and suddenly remembered his own pavilion, where green willows surrounded the small building, which was so quiet. Isn't that the right answer to the above sentence?

Yumo asked the receiving boy to bring a pen and paper, and he didn't eat it, and wrote on the table next to him: "The soft wind, green waves, willows, and the small environment of the building are secluded." ”

The old man next to him looked at Yumo's handful of beautiful words and nodded, as if he was saying that this word is really kung fu!

The scholar looked at the old man and said, I haven't read this link too clearly?

This couplet is too neat, you see, his sentence can also be split into a poem: "The soft wind and green waves and willows ring the building, the waves and willows ring the building are small and secluded." The secluded small building is surrounded by willow waves, and the building is surrounded by willow waves, and the green wind is soft. "This pair is so neat.

"Xiao Zhang, hurry up and befriend him, this kid's future is here!" The old man asked the scholar-like person to go up and talk to Yumo.

"Hello! You pair are so neat!" The scholar template man stepped forward to communicate with Yumo.

"Thank you, nothing, I feel it!" Yumo didn't say that it was his own bamboo building, which was too appropriate for this couplet.

The scholar pasted this half of the couplet directly on the blank pair, and the whole building cast envious glances at Yumo.

Yumo really inadvertently thought about his own affairs, and he didn't think that this couplet could be divided into a few lines of poetry.

The scholar picked up the pen again and wrote on the blank paper:

"The fragrant lotus is clear and the water is cool, and the water is cool and the summer is long. The long summer breeze moves the water, and the cool breeze moves the water with the fragrance of blue lotus. ”

"The soft breeze and green waves of the willow ring building, the wave willow ring building is a small environment. The secluded small building is surrounded by willow waves, and the building is surrounded by willow waves, and the green wind is soft. ”

After writing, he nodded at the words he wrote: "Good poems, good poems, good couplets!"

Yumo looked at the two poems written by the scholar, and then looked up at the couplet above:

"The fragrant lotus is clear and the water is cool, and the summer is long. ”

"The soft wind, green waves, willows, and the small environment of the building. ”

Looking at these two poems, they really echo each other, and the two poems seem to have been written by one person.

Looking at this pair, relatively speaking, it is still relatively whole, such a coincidence, this is really a masterpiece!

The scholar smiled and asked Yumo: "Sir, do you have a big name?"

"In the next, the name of the rain, called ink. Yumo replied.

"I don't know what Mr. Taifu is called?" Yumo asked the young man who looked like a teacher again.

"Me! Zhang Jiuling!"

"Who are you?"

"Zhang Jiuling!"

"You are the famous Shengjing genius Zhang Jiuling, rude! rude!" Yumo hurriedly moved.

"Hehe, you're polite, I don't want to take the Beijing exam to see what level I can at, I didn't expect you to be much higher than me!" Zhang Jiuling said to Yumo very modestly.

"Hehe, you're welcome, Brother Jiuling's reputation is really thunderous for me! When I was at home, I often heard people talk about your life and your famous writings. "Yumo is sincerely convinced, Zhang Jiuling.

For such a long time, the two have become a kind of irreversible friendship, both of them take a fancy to each other's talents, and Yumo and Zhang Jiuling are really comparable in terms of talents.

The two talked for a long time at this small wine table, and Zhang Jiuling and Yumo introduced their own life experiences and preferences respectively.

The two really fell in love at first sight, and they really hated to see each other late.

The two talked for a long time, and it was really a "tearful" separation!

These two people are really heaven, underground, Tiannan, Haibei, rare, exotic beasts, ancient, heaven and earth are all topics of conversation between the two.

If it weren't for the big exam soon, the two really didn't want to separate immediately, and there were a lot of things that the two hadn't talked about enough.

When Yumo returned to the room, he didn't immediately enter the dream, and he kept thinking about the chat with Zhang Jiuling, and finally Yumo closed his eyes with a smile.

I woke up, had breakfast, and took the scholar to the Gongyuan, and this year's candidates were all inspected in front of the gate of the Gongyuan.

The sun is rising, and the purple sun shines on every candidate's body, and Yumo is thinking in his heart, is this the purple qi coming from the east? It indicates that we, the candidates, can have a good future.

Under the guidance of the examiner, a group of candidates entered the examination room, each examination room is not large, there are two rooms, one is for the exam, one is for rest, and the examination time is three days.

Enter the test room on the first day and familiarize yourself with the test room environment after that.

The next day, the main exam, the official exam took two days.

I didn't say anything all night, and early the next morning, Yumo picked up the scroll and looked at it, which said on the management of the country.

Yumo looked at the scroll, closed his eyes, and pondered for a while.

The management of the country: divided into civil management and military management, cultural management includes farming, business, fishing, casting, literature, etc., each aspect must be carefully planned, there is a sentence called thought is the soul, thought is the commander.......

With a stroke of the rain and ink, it took less than half a day to write the essay and martial arts of the world.

After writing the article, Yumo can only leave the examination room by waiting for other candidates in the examination room, which is an official requirement for fear of running out of the test questions.

Yumo didn't think about this exam, because Yumo knew that what was written in this article today was consistent with the thoughts of the emperor of the current dynasty, and if nothing else, he was very likely to rely on it this time.

When Yumo came out of the examination room, he saw Zhang Jiuling again, and he was in good spirits, and the two talked to each other for a few words, and then they both went back to rest.

The first thing Yumo did when he returned to the inn was to take a shower first, and he stayed in a hut for three days, and he had thorns on his body.

After that, Yumo began to sleep and made up for all the tiredness of the day.

The little scholar also knew that Yumo was too tired during this time, so he quietly withdrew from the room and found a seat downstairs to rest.

Time passed in a flash, and on the morning of the third day after the exam, I heard someone shouting something on the street before dawn?

"When~dang~!, the idler gets out of the way!," the soldier shouted.

"When~when~!, the idler got out of the way!, the list was released!" repeated again and again.

"When~dang~!The idler gets out of the way!The list is released!The door is opened!The door is opened!"

Yumo immediately got dressed, knowing that the moment of excitement had come.

"Congratulations, Master Wang Long is the first on the top list of high school!" a red-clothed official held a tray.

"Congratulations, Master Zhang Jiuling, the second place on the top list of high school!" was still a red-clothed official holding a tray.

"Congratulations" shouted here, and Yumo's heart sank.

"Master Yumo, third on the top list of high school!"

"Today, the Emperor of the Imperial Palace is summoned at noon!"

Yumo hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the person who made the list.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" took two wedding stickers, one for a person, and one for the emperor.

Yumo took the holy paper, glanced at the scholar, and shouted directly: "Reward, five taels per person, ten taels for the red-clothed adult." ”

Yumo looked at Zhang Jiuling on the side, and directly rewarded each person with five taels, and the red-clothed adult ten taels.

This is the same as an unwritten rule, as long as you get the top three in the champion building, you have to give people a reward, and the money for those who can live here is not a thing, and then it was formed, five taels per person, and ten taels of red clothes.

These officials sent the wedding card early in the morning just to ask for the five taels or ten taels of silver, because a month's worth of money is less than two taels of silver, and these five taels are worth several months.

"Xiao Wang, hurry, hurry up to report the good news to my mother, and send the wedding card to the old mansion to pay tribute. ”

The final palace test is the emperor's question, and if the answer is good, the first, second, and third will be determined.

Time really waits for no one! Yumo changed into newly bought clothes, wearing a son's hair, holding a folding fan in his hand, and his face was delicate.

After packing up his clothes, Yumo came to Zhang Jiuling's room, Zhang Jiuling was in the No. 1 room of Dizi, which was also a house that was difficult to buy.

The two left the inn together and hired two small sedan chairs to rush to the gate of the imperial city.

Coming to the gate of the inner city, the two got off the sedan chair and paid.

When he came to the city gate, he held a wedding card in his hand, and several soldiers guarding the gate immediately saluted the two.

"Congratulations to your high school!" several soldiers looked at the two.

Yumo took out ten taels of silver and threw it forward.

"This is what the two of us are rewarding you!" Yumo is not a person who values money very seriously.

"Thank you, two adults!" the soldiers saluted.

"Two adults, please get into the sedan chair, and we will send the adults directly to the examination room for the palace examination. The soldier let the two of them into the door, and there were three sedan chairs in the door, and Yumo didn't need to be told that this was for the three of them.

Yumo sat in a sedan chair, his body swayed up and down in the sedan chair, and his body felt comfortable.

Can that feeling uncomfortable? I just got into the top three and was summoned by the emperor for a while, and as long as I had a good impression, then I wouldn't be able to fly to the emperor's level!

These two small sedan chairs came to a small courtyard, there are a lot of guards around the courtyard, the small courtyard seems to have a lot of officials at this time, heard someone shouting names, stepped forward to agree and followed the person and left.

Yumo thought that this was not a Beijing official or an official from outside, so let's listen to the summons here! Yumo and Zhang Jiuling got off the sedan chair.
