Chapter 297: Chastity Exam
Xu Mo said loudly: "Luo Shi, what are you doing! Stop quickly, you will kill yourself if you do this." ”
Luo Shi had a smile on her face: "Isn't it great that you can die like this?" Brother Xu, I'm just worried that when I die, I'm still a parrot." ”
"Don't. Xu Mo tried to stop it.
Little by little, Luo Shi's consciousness weakened, and the connection with the body gradually became separated. Xu Mo was in the picture, and he could still feel that Luo Shi's consciousness and body were separated, and the parrot's body fell from his shoulder. And this consciousness weakened to a certain extent, but suddenly stopped, Luo Shi closed her eyes, and her figure in the picture gradually became clear.
Her consciousness was brought into the world of the painting by Xu Mo, and after being separated from her body, she automatically stayed in the painting. Now she is essentially dead, but in the painting, she has gained another life.
Xu Mo looked at all this in a daze, and his worried heart gradually calmed down. Rosette is not dead, but she is going to remain in this picture.
Luo Shi slowly opened her eyes and was in a calm mood, "Brother Xu, am I dead?"
Xu Mo shook his head and sighed, "In reality, you are dead. ”
Luo Shi understood the meaning of this sentence, her eyes suddenly lit up, she looked down at herself, and found nothing abnormal, so she said happily: "I live in the picture?"
Xu Mo said: "You can say that, but you can't get out again." ”
Luo Shi was overjoyed, and couldn't help but shed tears and cried: "Brother Xu." For me, is there a difference between painting and reality? With the corpse of a parrot on my head, I would rather stay in the world in this painting. ”
"Alas!" Xu Mo sighed again, he brought Luo Shi in, in fact, he wanted to solve the matter of her being hit by genetic medicine and becoming a parrot, but after coming in, the matter was not resolved, but the other party stayed in the picture.
Luo Shi smiled and said, "Brother Xu." For me. That's a good thing. Why do you still sigh?" He took Xu Mo's hand and turned his face to look at the street, "Brother Xu, I've stayed." I haven't seen the scenery of this world yet. This is already the world I live in. It's not good to know how the world is. Can you take me around?"
How could Xu Mo not agree? At that moment, the two held hands and walked down the street. There are a lot of shops on this street. They are all ancient shops, some selling food, some selling supplies, some selling clothes, some selling jewelry, and some even selling weapons. Compared with modern times, the goods are of course not so abundant, but Luo Shi still walked with relish, saw the same thing after another, and walked from store to store. She was freed from the parrot's body, relaxed, and interested in everything.
Xu Mo took out the silver and gave it to her, and Luo Shi went to the ready-to-wear store to buy a few sets of good clothes, several of which were bought for Xu Mo. The two of them were still wearing old burlap clothes that Xu Mo had stolen from a farmer's house outside the city, and they looked too shabby.
This time, I walked directly until dark, Luo Shi bought a few pieces of jewelry, some food, and then returned to the inn.
When they got up the next day, the two went on the road, and Luo Shi asked, "Brother Xu, where are we going?"
Xu Mo originally planned to take her to Mangdang Mountain to find the transformation pool, but now that Luo Shi stayed in the picture, she didn't need it anymore, and immediately said, "Let's go to the capital." ”
Luo Shixi said: "Do you want to go to the capital? This is the best, I have never seen what the ancient capital was like." ”
Xu Mo smiled: "That's nothing to look at, you'll know when you arrive." ”
The two of them went out of the city and kept heading in the direction of the capital. The distance between this small city and the capital is not too far, but the two of them still walked for several days.
On this day, when he arrived in the capital, Xu Mo took Luo Shi and went straight to the Eternal Life Courtyard. The Ten Thousand Dharma Conference has long since ended, and the guards at the gate of the Immortal Academy are not as strict as before.
Xu Mo took Luo Shi in, returned to the residence of Changchun Courtyard, and heard the red line sigh from a distance: "Alas, where did Uncle Xu go, why hasn't he come back? Today is the day of Sister Zhenzhen's exam." ”
Lin Xu'er said: "Zhenzhen girl, in my opinion, the son must have something delayed, otherwise the girl will not come to such a big thing as the exam." ”
Liu Zhenzhen puffed angrily, "Whatever, it's best not to come back in the future." ”
Xu Mo smiled and continued: "Don't come back." ”
"Hey, Uncle Xu is back. Red Line was surprised and delighted. Lin Su'er said: "Childe is back." Xue Ling'er said: "If the son doesn't come back, the family will be against the sky." Liu Zhenzhen scolded: "You still know to come back!"
Luo Shi was surprised in her heart, leaned into Xu Mo's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xu, who are they?"
Before Xu Mo could answer, the girls came out. Yoo Jung-jeong changed into men's clothes again, apparently going to the exam.
Seeing Xu Mo, the four girls were very happy. Liu Zhenzhen said angrily, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes unconsciously showed joy. When he saw Luo Shi, his face sank, "Who is she?"
Xu Mo glared at her and said, "Okay, let me introduce you to you, this is Luo Shi." Luo Shi, this is Liu Zhenzhen, Red Line, Lin Xu'er, Xue Ling'er. ”
Liu Zhenzhen was glared at by Xu Mo, startled, and muttered in a low voice, "Bring back another one, and I'll settle accounts with you later." ”
The girls had seen it, and Lin Su'er pulled Luo Shi to the side to speak.
Liu Zhenzhen said: "Today is the first day of the exam, if you don't come back, I will enter the exam room." ”
Xu Mo smiled and asked, "Are you all ready?"
Liu Zhenzhen raised her neck and said proudly: "What's so difficult about that?"
Xu Mo smiled: "Then I wish Miss Zhenzhen a smooth exam." ”
Liu Zhenzhen said: "It's almost the same, I'm leaving." Speaking of this, he turned his head and glanced at Luo Shi, and was a little uneasy, "There is a sentence to say first, I don't care if you bring the concubine back." But I'm your real lady, let's go to church, don't forget. ”
Xu Mo felt a big headache when he heard this, glanced at Liu Zhenzhen, and saw that she was looking at herself in a daze, her expression was indescribably serious, and she had a posture of disagreeing and about to cry immediately, so she had to nod.
Liu Zhenzhen was satisfied. Summon the coachman in and carry the two boxes to the cart. Now in October, it's cold. The imperial examination will take at least a few days, and Liu Zhenzhen has prepared a lot of things.
The red line said: "Sister Zhenzhen, I'll go with you." ”
Liu Zhenzhen held hands with her, "Good sister, this exam will take several days, and you can't get in." I went to the exam. Where are you going?"
Red Line smiled: "Send you to the place, I'll come back." ”
"Oh well. Liu Zhenzhen agreed, and when the two girls got into the carriage, Xu Mo took them out of the door. watched the carriage come out of the Immortal Temple. Only then did I return.
Two women rode in a carriage. I went directly to the Tribute Courtyard, and when I arrived at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, I had already begun to enter. At a glance, there are human heads everywhere in the black. The two got out of the carriage, and the coachman helped carry the things down.
At this time, no math students are desperately squeezing inward, this is Enke, no limit to background, whether it is Xiucai, Juren, Tongsheng, or even Bai Ding, as long as they are literate, they can take the exam, so the number of people has doubled more than in the past.
As soon as the two women got out of the carriage, they were squeezed. "Hey, hey, what are you doing, what are you squeezing?" Liu Zhenzhen shouted a few words, to no avail.
"My sister looks at me. Red Line reached out and pushed left and right, pushing the people around her away.
"Sister, I'm going to enter through the 'Ding' entrance. Liu Zhenzhen still remembered what the little school had told her.
"Sister, where is the entrance to the 'Ding' number?" Hongxian was young and short, picked up his toes and looked at them, but was blocked by the person in front of him, and saw nothing.
Liu Zhenzhen jumped on the spot a few times, there were too many people, and she still didn't see anything, so she was suddenly anxious, "I didn't see it either." ”
Seeing that she was in a hurry, Hongxian felt flustered, "Sister, don't worry, look at me." As he spoke, he jumped lightly in the air, stepped on the door of a tall man's head, and looked around.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing on my head? Get down. The tall man shook for a while, trying to shake the red line down, but there were too many of them, and he himself was caught between several people, like a sandwich biscuit, and shook it a few times, but the red line did not move.
"Okay, I see, sister, I see it, there's a sign there. "The red line finally found the entrance to the 'D' and jumped off the ground.
Liu Zhenzhen hurriedly said: "Let's go over quickly." As he spoke, he squeezed forward first, and the red line followed, and the coachman helped to carry the suitcase, and finally followed.
Soon arrived at the entrance of the 'Ding' brand, Liu Zhenzhen took out the identity card, and there was a group of small schools guarding the entrance. Someone shouted loudly, "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, come one by one, there is time, whoever squeezes again, will blast out whom." ”
"Alright, give me the box. Yoo took the box and lined up at the back of the crowd.
Hongxian instructed: "Sister, you take care of yourself. ”
Yoo Jung-jeong replied, "Got it." ”
Liu Zhenzhen was a candidate in front of and behind, and when she heard the conversation between the two, especially when she heard the red line call Liu Zhenzhen 'sister', she was stunned for a moment, the one in front turned her head, and the one in the back stretched her neck and stared at Liu Zhenzhen.
Liu Zhenzhen was impatient, and said viciously: "Look at what, believe it or not, I will gouge out the eyeballs for you." ”
The man in the back turned his head timidly, but the man in front shouted loudly, "My lord, my lord, someone cheats, the person behind me is a girl, this is the imperial examination, when will women also come to the exam." ”
Liu Zhenzhen was frightened, and reached out and pushed the man's back, "Hey, don't scream, who is a woman? ”
The man was wearing a black Confucian shirt, looked back, looked at him, about forty years old, and sneered: "I still said that it is not a woman, I heard everything you said just now." Grown, grown, come on, there's cheating here. ”
"Hey, you're talking nonsense, I'm going to beat you. My sister Zhenzhen is clearly a man. Red Line was also anxious, and couldn't help but threaten loudly.
The man sneered, "You call her sister, and you say it's a man." My lord, come here. ”
Fortunately, there were too many people, and it was chaotic, and I couldn't hear it clearly from a distance. But the man shouted, and two soldiers approached.
One of the soldiers coldly scolded: "Which cheat?"
The man pointed at Liu Zhenzhen, "My lord, it's her, she's a woman." ”
"Female?" the two soldiers looked Liu Zhenzhen up and down when they heard this. Liu Zhenzhen was so worried in her heart, she couldn't help but bow her head, and said secretly: "Bad luck! Bad luck! Is the girl so unlucky that she hasn't entered yet." was discovered. ”
The two soldiers looked at Liu Zhenzhen for a moment, and one of the soldiers said: "Whether it's a man or a woman, you can only know after searching, okay, you come with us." ”
Liu Zhenzhen had no choice but to drag the box and follow the two soldiers inside. One of the soldiers opened the way in front, "Get out of the way, get out of the way." Another soldier followed, blasting through the crowd. Walked in.
In front is a side of the wall. Bypassing the wall, there are several sheds. Several scholars stripped naked and were searched by a large-headed soldier.
Liu Zhenzhen only glanced at it, and then hurriedly lowered her head. One heart is in doubt. If you do a body search like this. There's no way to hide the past. I'm even afraid that not only will I not be able to hide it, but my innocent daughter will be seen by so many stinky men, and she will lose her integrity. Come to think of it. I couldn't help but feel angry, "I worked so hard to come to the exam for that? The one who had no conscience, not only did he not understand himself at all, but just today, he brought back another one from outside." ”
I quietly glanced around a few times, but I didn't see the little colonel named Cao Jia that day, and he was in a hurry.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a person calling softly beside him, "Girl, girl." ”
Liu Zhenzhen raised her head, glanced at the man, but didn't know it, and denied: "Who is the girl?"
The man winked at him, looked tacit, lowered his voice, and said with a smile: "Girl, Brother Cao has ordered, please go in." ”
When Liu Zhenzhen heard this, her hanging heart immediately put down, and she hurriedly asked, "Where is Cao Jia, where is he?"
The man smiled and said, "Brother Cao is maintaining order outside, the girl may not see it." But don't worry, girl, with us, everything will be fine. ”
Liu Zhenzhen was completely relieved, thanked her, dragged her suitcase, and was about to walk inside.
She had just walked around the shed and hadn't gone in yet. Unexpectedly, a scholar who had just been searched and was still holding his pants in his hand saw this scene and shouted: "Hey, hey! You dare to cheat, this person hasn't been searched yet, why did he put it in?"
Liu Zhenzhen lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. The scholar didn't recognize her as a woman for a while.
The man just now argued, "What nonsense, who didn't search?", and then scolded, "You don't go in yet." He was urging Liu Zhenzhen to leave quickly.
The scholar looked only in his twenties, with a thin body, a pair of eyes that were especially small, and sneered: "Don't think that we see it, this is the imperial examination, and you dare to cheat, see if I don't report you." Examiner, examiner. He raised his voice and called out loudly.
Liu Zhenzhen was in a hurry, dragging the box and about to go inside.
The scholar lifted his pants, hurried over, grabbed her, and said loudly: "I want to go, it's not that easy." Dare to cheat in the imperial examination, since I have found out, how can I ignore it?"
Liu Zhenzhen said angrily: "Let go." ”
This speech showed a female voice. The scholar was stunned when he heard this, and for a while he thought that he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly looked at Liu Zhenzhen, and after seeing it, he immediately recognized it, "Okay, I said why don't you dare to search your body, it turns out to be a woman." Then he turned around, stretched out his hand and pointed at the soldiers, and sneered: "You have colluded in the imperial examination fraud, and everyone is guilty of capital crimes." Then there was a loud shout, "Examiner, examiner, invigilator." ”
Liu Zhenzhen said angrily: "Let go of me, let go of me." ”
The soldier Ding Qiang smiled and said: "Which one colluded with the imperial examination fraud, don't talk nonsense." The rest of the soldiers stopped searching their bodies and gathered around, and someone shouted, "Don't let them go." ”
When several scholars who were searched heard the movement here, they hurriedly lifted their pants, rushed over, and shouted together, "Cheating in the imperial examination, this is a big deal, and whoever dares to cover it up is a capital crime." ”
Grabbing Liu Zhenzhen's scholar Zhengse, he said: "Everyone, please help me testify, this person is clearly a woman, these people didn't search her body, so they wanted to let her go, it was obviously a fraud in the imperial examination." ”
Someone coaxed, "Okay, let's make a fuss and see what the examiner says." ”
The scene was chaotic, but fortunately, a soldier was clever and blocked the door in time to prevent the candidates from outside from coming in, so not many people knew.
The scholar shouted loudly, and finally an official walked in. The official looked to be in his fifties, wearing a first-class costume, judging from the color of the uniform, it was clear that he was the main examiner of the current department, and he was a high scholar of the Ministry of Rites.
Gao Shangshu had a cold face, glanced around at everyone, and reprimanded: "What kind of system is it that makes a lot of noise!"
The scholar obviously recognized the identity of this Gao Shangshu, so he let go of Liu Zhenzhen and said loudly: "My lord, student Wang Yuanze, I want to report a fraud in the imperial examination." Just now, this person ......" said "Pointing at Liu Zhenzhen with one hand and the soldier who let Liu Zhenzhen in, "This person did not search her body, so he wanted to let her in." happened to be seen by the students, so I became suspicious, and pulled it to see, it turned out to be a woman. ”
"Oh!" Gao Shangshu glanced at the soldier, his eyes fierce. Before he could say a word, the soldier was so frightened by his might that he fell to his knees, and the soldier didn't say anything, just kowtowed desperately.
Wang Yuan clenched his fists and said, "My lord, when the student grabbed this person, all these soldiers came up to stop him. Therefore, the students suspect that these people were involved in this fraud incident, and the adults are requested to investigate it carefully. ”
Gao Shangshu's face was blue, looking at the soldier's appearance, this fraud incident was clearly true. He turned to Yoo Jung-jeong and ordered, "Raise your head." ”
Liu Zhenzhen felt unspeakably uneasy in her heart, she had sent gifts to Gao Shangshu many times, but she didn't see anyone once, the first time she met, she didn't want to be in this place. Listening to Gao Shangshu's words, how dare you raise your head.
Seeing this scene, Gao Shangshu immediately recognized a certain result, and sneered: "This is the National Talent Palace, how can you make a fool of yourself." Left and right, take it for me. ”
Several guards shouted loudly and took down Yoo Jung-jeong and a few soldiers.
Gao Shangshu said: "Fraud in the imperial examination is not trivial, there must be accomplices, lock them up first, and then deal with them after the examination is over." ”
A few guards responded, escorting Liu Zhenzhen and a few soldiers outside.
And he walked out.
Wang Yuan and several scholars praised in unison, "Your Excellency is wise." ”
Gao Shangshu suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute, show me her identity card." Since it's a girl, it must be someone else's exam. If this person dares to find someone to take the test for him, he will also be punished together. ”
A guard snatched the identity tag from Liu Zhenzhen's hand and handed it to Gao Shangshu.
Gao Shangshu took it in his hand, only glanced at it, and was suddenly startled. (To be continued......)
