In August, with several consecutive rains, the autumn wind gradually thickens.
Speaking of which, there are still seven days left for grading after the state test. At this time, the thousands of scholars who took the exam did not bother to study, and gathered in large groups to chat, talk, and drink. Their expenses were much stronger than before the exam.
In the early morning, all the scholars stood up, pretending to be calm and not rushing to look at the rankings. Instead, they all waited in the store, anxious and calling for food and drinks.
Each shop owner smiled happily, directing their staff to come and go, serving plates of dishes and wine, accompanied by longan and grapes.
Everyone was drinking and tasting, occasionally discussing.
On the third floor of the elegant room, Xiang Duo, He Mao, Taoist, and Ye Qing were all drinking.
Is this the third question written by Ye Daoyou? It's really concise! "The Taoist sighed as he read a test paper.
For the past seven days, Ye Qing has not taken a step out of the inn, and these two Jia Shi and a Taoist have taken turns protecting him. Ye Qing has been living in peace and participating in conversations during his leisure time.
Even when the candidates asked about the essay, Ye Qing calmly wrote it down, which attracted the attention of the candidates - there were hundreds of scholars who witnessed Ye Qing leaving early in the exam room, and these scholars were well informed, having already dug up Ye Qing's entire life.
Long Jun personally promised to become a "fellow jinshi", which was originally limited to Nancang County, but after spreading, it is now known throughout the entire state. If he is not selected for the imperial examination or becomes a laughingstock, he will be worthy of his name and will surely spread throughout the state.
Upon hearing the Taoist's question, Ye Qing couldn't help but smile and say, "This is just my personal experience, is there anything wrong with it
Saying so, with confidence but not hiding it, one can see that the texture is bright and white, and it is a great and pure body, which is also excellent among legitimate candidates.
The Taoist said, "This article is all about gold and jade. Ye Daoyou was born into our generation, why should he be imprisoned for the court's livelihood
Suddenly, Xiang Duo was dissatisfied and glared angrily, "You thief, how can you speak nonsense? Our generation reads the books of sages just to serve the court
Upon hearing this, He Mao couldn't help but laugh and feel envious in his heart.
When we met before, Ye Qing was just a child, but in a blink of an eye, he could have become a successful candidate.
This immortal sect is vying for the benefits that only the juren can offer, but Ye Qing enjoys them in advance. Even if he doesn't win the juren this time, there is already a good way out.
We've been together for many days, why hurt the harmony? "Ye Qing interrupted the argument with a smile, got up and bowed to the scholars around her," The list will start in the morning, don't you guys leave yet
Waiting to be with fellow jinshi also gives us a touch of nobility, "the scholars laughed heartily, but dispersed from their onlookers. After all, with the list approaching, they were more concerned about their own future and destiny.
But I won't go, which disappoints my brother. "Ye Qing didn't take it seriously, smiled and said a few words before saying goodbye to these people, and went back upstairs on her own.
Seeing the scholar finally unable to resist and rushing away, the Taoist smiled and said, "If it's true fate, it's not urgent to lift someone, but it's urgent and ruthless
After speaking, he burst into laughter.
Ye Qing glanced at the people rushing out from upstairs and jokingly said, "Have you met before
The Taoist turned his face and smiled, "After becoming a successful candidate, there is hope that the Qi technique can be learned. Although not everyone can learn it, it is one out of ten
But just by learning this, one cannot comprehend the affairs of the world. Qi and Xiang refer to each other and influence each other
Ye Qing chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, please take a look at the three people on the table just now
The Taoist was about to show his divine power to win over Ye Qing. After listening to these words, he pondered for a moment and said, "Xiang Duo just now had some good fortune, but not only did he not make it to this list, but he also had no chance of winning in the future. He only ended up with a wealthy man and even a longevity character
The Taoist said again, "He Mao has some ancestral virtues, but his luck is not good. He may not be successful in this term, but he will definitely be successful in the next two terms and become a juren
Ye Qing chuckled inwardly as he saw the Taoist speaking confidently. It wasn't that the Taoist was not accurate, but rather that a great tribulation had arrived and all arithmetic had lost its spiritual response. This was a natural order, but of course it couldn't be said. He just asked, "What about me
The Taoist paced forward, carefully examining it, and said, "To be honest, the young master is lost in his relationship, with a sharp expression at first sight, and upon closer inspection, there are remnants of the prince's legacy
When the young master was born, he had the aura of a prince, but after birth, the middle way was cut off and the good fortune was taken away, so he gradually became poor, showing this appearance
But now the young master's luck is strong, with a faint yellow and green aura, and he has made up for his shortcomings. He may be able to regain his original position, but there is also a gray and black aura hindering him, which may be some calamity. There are many variables here, and the path cannot be seen through
Ye Qing originally had ulterior motives and didn't want to change himself, but was exposed by a word. He was a little surprised and sighed a moment later, "This is all fate
The Taoist bowed and said, "What I am saying is based on destiny. Whether it is true or not, it can be proven in the future. However, this is only a small path in the immortal realm, and only the path of eternal life and long-term vision is the path of the great path
Ye Qing didn't respond to this and smiled. At this moment, the sun came out, and under the golden sunshine, the willows by the river were lush green. The streets and alleys were deep and straight, without any abnormalities.
Looking at one's own fortune, the originally few strands of gray and black energy have dissipated in about nine out of ten, while the gray and black energy rushing in from outside is very calm, and it seems that one can follow the usual practice of looking at the rankings.
But instinctively, Ye Qing knew it was wrong. She pulled down the thin bamboo curtain and gave a cold smile.
Qi is not omnipotent. After hundreds of thousands of years of exploration, there are many ways to conceal and cover up as long as one has the heart.
There is also a possibility that the Yu family voluntarily gave up at this time.
Ke Yeqing thought to herself that being a person for several lifetimes may not be considered successful, but there is still one advantage, which is that when facing reality, he never considers himself lucky.
Even if you guess wrong, it's not a big deal. Those who can make it to the list have been notified by the government, but it's just a matter of knowing sooner or later
So I sat down calmly, ate wine and food, and started reading the essay - this was an excellent post among the candidates this time. During the exchange, someone collected and copied it, and several fellow townsmen copied an extra copy. Last night, they specially sent it to me for exchange, so I smiled and accepted it.
A few days ago, I didn't have time to read it carefully. Now, as I continue reading, I find that there are indeed over a dozen articles that are good - just thinking about it, there are always outstanding individuals among the eight million people in the state who are selected once every three years.
Especially the first few articles, whether they are magnificent or colorful, are praised by people, among which there is the work of Yu Fan.
After carefully reading Yu Fan's work, Ye Qing secretly thought to herself that her previous level was slightly inferior, but now after seven years of refinement, her true level is similar to it.
But if we use the Chinese version in our memory and make corrections, we still have confidence to overcome it.
A gentle breeze passed through the curtain, and only the rustling of paper could be heard.
I don't know how long it has been, but suddenly there was a noise coming from the street in the distance, following the gentle breeze into the room.
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Qing's body trembled. Instinctively, she saw a golden light falling, and as soon as the light turned around her body, it revealed a strong hidden black aura, with black stripes that twisted into the shape of a venomous snake, ready to devour.
At this moment, it hissed and raised its head to resist, but it retreated step by step and had to disappear invisibly in a moment.
Is it really a way to deceive my luck? Unfortunately, you're not the Dragon Lord, so you couldn't deceive me! "Ye Qing exhaled a mouthful of turbid energy, feeling refreshed and refreshed at this moment.
I must be... "I was about to get up and go downstairs, but I restrained myself and took the test paper to read again. However, at this moment, I just couldn't really continue reading.
After waiting for a moment, I heard the commotion below and heard the sound of stairs. In the next moment, several messenger officials dressed in red, drumming, and holding their hats, all with happy faces, arrived at the third floor and saw Ye Qing. They bowed down and said, "Congratulations to Ye for helping Young Master Jie Yuan in high school and ranking first on the list
Unexpectedly, there was a surge of joy that made Ye Qing momentarily dazed. The figure in front of him swayed, and the complex and indescribable taste seemed familiar, as if he had experienced it before
Have you experienced it? Yes, it has been, only twenty-four people! "Ye Qing finally snapped out of her mind, but with a bitter smile in her heart, she said," I didn't laugh at others before, and it was my turn to do the same
At that moment, he bowed to his surroundings, took out the silver and copper coins he had prepared for a long time as a collection, and sprinkled them down.
The people around were even more joyful, repeatedly saying, "Young master, put on your new clothes
Ye Qing did not refuse. He took off his coat and put on the official dress. The official dress was exactly the same as the official dress. He wore red robes all over his body and official boots at his feet, but there was no color or pattern on the official dress, which was different from the real officials.
Wearing an official robe, tying a belt, and pairing it with a bronze seal for lifting a person, his heroic appearance immediately impressed everyone and made them applaud, saying, "What a great official
The Taoist looked over and saw a strong yellow aura enveloping him as he put on his clothes. Ye Qing's originally red cloud aura had changed again, and something was faintly hanging.
I originally wanted to win over this son, but after winning the Jieyuan exam, at least I will have a fellow jinshi in the future. I'm afraid the real person's idea of attracting people to the Immortal Sect will be in vain - but they still formed a good relationship
Unable to suppress the joy, Ye Qing's face was filled with a smile, and the feeling in her heart was difficult to understand: "Just by ranking in the imperial examination, perhaps I can still remain calm, but the meaning is different! This time, I clearly know that it is not only my own life, but also the lives of relatives such as Qianqian, as well as the crisis of the Ye family, and even more people hope to rely on it
Thinking of this, it felt heavy in her heart until the guests dispersed. Ye Qing went back to her room to tidy up and suddenly looked back with a sense of unease.
Looking beyond the bustling crowd, Ye Qing saw an ordinary looking customer standing up and leaving in the corner of the tea house pergola across the street. The killing intent he had felt a few days ago surged up like a tide, and Ye Qing frowned.
Ye Daoyou? "The Taoist rushed forward and protected the front.
The two Jia Shi immediately held onto the handle of the knife and were about to investigate. Ye Qing smiled and said, "This time, intentionally revealing the traces, no matter what the intention is, cannot change the reality. I think you don't need to work hard in the future
The order has not been withdrawn. As long as Ye Ju is still in the state city, we must protect him to the end! "Jia Shi solemnly said, with the Taoist as the chief inspector and no intention of leaving.
Ye Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. Compared to himself, Ye Qing was more worried about the safety thousands of miles away and couldn't help but plan: "Now that my eyes are completely black, I need to quickly figure out the situation... Whether I am a juren or a jieyuan, the resources I can mobilize are very different. Whether it is the governor's office or this immortal sect, if they want to win me over, they will have to increase their bargaining chips, and even give me a face whether they succeed or not
With one or two instances of Daoist transmission, we can't just push back and forth, can we? "With this thought in mind, he couldn't help but look back at the Daoist behind him.
At this moment, the Taoist suddenly felt his scalp tighten and couldn't help but ask, "Why does Ye Daoyou see things like this
Oh, oh? Where is there? "Ye Qing chuckled, revealing a pair of shiny white teeth." This fellow Taoist, let's have a discussion
The Taoist was speechless.
