A ox cart passed by along the street, crushing the frost on the ground. The weather was cold, and the pedestrians on this side street were sparse, except for some vendors who were still selling.
But when they arrived near the inn where the child lived, the pedestrians were busy, passing by scholars and attracting merchants. Amidst the bustling and noisy crowd, the ox cart had to gradually come to a stop.
The cart driver, dressed in coarse cloth, lowered his head and asked, "The market ahead is difficult to drive, is it possible to walk
Okay, "the car said lightly.
When he looked up again, the coachman was startled. The figure had disappeared, and only a small piece of broken silver was rolling on several tables, while the cool breeze rolled the door curtain.
The middle-aged scholar had already arrived in the crowd, dressed in green clothes, with slightly white temples and a slight wrinkle on his face. However, he still exuded a handsome and handsome appearance, adding a touch of vicissitudes. When not paying attention, one would only think he was an old boy.
The flow of people is heading towards the inn, and the official schedule for the annual exam has intentionally or unintentionally formed a grand market, accompanied by green buildings and pavilions, decorated with lights and decorations. Taking advantage of the festive atmosphere, self-taught students take out silver from their pockets.
The middle-aged scholar smiled knowingly at this prosperous scene, walked slowly, stopped in front of an inn, and glanced at the plaque above: Yi Anju.
Living in a county city is not easy, "said the smile as he stepped in.
Passing through the lobby of the inn, one can see a large number of diners, with the shopkeeper and staff busy shuttling back and forth. The middle-aged scholar glanced at the spacious hall without haste, flipped through the menu, and casually ordered a few drinks and dishes before finding a secluded corner to sit down.
When the sound of the tide poured in, the middle-aged scholar heard the street vendor shout: "Stinky tofu, Stinky tofu... Stinky tofu that the king ate that day, and the king agreed to eat it."
Last time, when we talked about it, Taoist Wang shook his brush and threw out a silver wire to dispel demons and sweep the dust. The white light shone brightly, covering up the light of the sun and moon. The mouse spirit in the room was suddenly scared out of its wits... "This was the storyteller in the teahouse across the street telling a story.
Sir, please go ahead. Give us poor people a bite to eat and do good deeds to accumulate virtue. "This is the sound of a refugee turning into a beggar, begging.
The middle-aged scholar listened intently, determined to pursue a career as a scholar and devote himself to the immortal realm. He lived in the mountains without knowing the passage of time, and in the blink of an eye, ten years passed. Later, he devoted himself to the Yu family, and finally secluded himself, not seeing outsiders. The worldly atmosphere that came knocking at him made him both familiar and unfamiliar, and he was in a daze.
Red dust... Pingzhi, how long has it been since you last met? "Yu Pingzhi thought to himself, but this melancholy only lasted for a moment. He closed his eyes, calmed down, and his body couldn't withstand great joy and anger.
I was thinking with my eyes closed, but suddenly heard a commotion and couldn't help but open my eyes to look.
A few scholars gathered together, appearing to be a small group. A young man asked, "Brother He, what questions do you think will be asked in this scientific examination? Will these three invigilators come to other invigilators now
Originally, they were all test takers who cared about their own future.
Upon hearing this, He Tongsheng chuckled and said, "We will send inspectors over. This is a county examination, not like before. Once you pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, you will be preparing for the position of a court official. If you want to pursue a career, you can always obtain the rank of ninth grade and be granted a position by the court. Hehe, I heard that practicing the immortal path also requires this skill
A young student was a bit unhappy when He Tongsheng pulled him onto the immortal path and said, "Let's forget about the previous words. As young students, we are just laying a solid foundation and don't talk nonsense about strange powers. The immortal path is not the topic we are discussing now
This is a legitimate principle, and everyone cannot refute it. They look at each other and cannot help but comply.
The young man caught everyone's attention and smiled again, "There are things that suppress good luck in the examination room. When we are writing, literary talent is the first priority. Secondly, we must also understand the preferences of the chief examiner, which is the way to be serious
Brother Li, this is a truthful statement. We are going through a storm, "He Tongsheng smiled." However, after the exam, we relaxed the crackdown on changing the exam paper. If we get into the top list, how many places we can get, and it depends on our luck, we really can't help but pay attention
This statement is also reasonable
These young students were chatting, and after ordering the dishes, someone started talking again: "Brother He, who is Ye Qing, whom do you admire
Ye's family in Pingshou County? It's a remote county. I haven't heard of any county officials or famous scholars
He Tongsheng is He Mao. He stopped to take a sip of tea and explained with a smile, "It's usually like this, but haven't you heard of the Dragon King Banquet
After everyone fell silent for a moment, someone sighed and said, "So it's' Tongjinshi '. I also watched this song' Observing Peace '. It's hard to imagine if it's from Pingshou County
The spirit of the earth leads to the talent of the people. This is the norm. I've heard that the way of heaven is impermanent, and only when the sky descends can it be truly accomplished. Who can say for sure
It is said that Ye Qing is only fifteen years old. Brother He is fortunate enough to see him. What kind of character is he? "Someone asked sourly.
He Mao pondered for a long time and said, "I have been in a relationship with him, carefully paying attention to him. His words and actions are friendly, his character is rigorous, and it is said that he lives in this store. He will shout it out later
Upon hearing this, Yu Pingzhi glanced over and didn't take it seriously, just listened calmly. At this moment, the waiter brought the food and was about to step back, but was greeted with a hand, "Wait a moment
The waiter responded, "Sir, what do you need
I have a few questions for you, and if you answer them well, you will receive a reward, "Yu Pingzhi said. A piece of broken silver was thrown on the table, and the assistant looked closely, only to find snowflakes and broken silver, which looked like one or two pieces. He quickly said," Excuse me, sir
Does the child Ye Qing live here
Yes, I'll stay with you, "the waiter responded, thinking to himself that he was here to visit Young Master Ye again.
Which room
It's the second floor, facing this room, Tianzi No. 6
Yu Pingzhi remained noncommittal, and this statement was considered sincere. Upon closer inquiry, he asked, "When do you usually come out
Well... "the buddy recalled and replied," It's time to go out for dinner now. Sometimes it's a little late and we bring a female family with us
Is she a wife
She came out wearing a hood and couldn't see clearly. It's hard to say what her identity is
Yu Pingzhi frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Could it be this woman
After asking for more details and seeing that the guy was sweating profusely, he waved his hand and said, "Got it, you can go down with the money
The buddy's eyes lit up, he grabbed the broken silver and kept thanking before retreating.
In a moment, a boy came down the stairs.
With a fair face, slender body, and cold stars in his eyes, as soon as he came down, Yu Pingzhi silently watched. Heaven and earth were different in his eyes.
Oh, there's something unusual about this child's facial features and skeletal structure
This Ye Qing person has eyes like paint, a slender body, and a graceful demeanor in every movement and gesture. In a subtle sense, a graceful temperament emerges.
But upon closer inspection, one will realize that although these are not fake, they are only on the surface, and the inside is very empty. This external luxury and internal emptiness are just small aspects, which may be developed, but cannot last long. Many fortune tellers will stop seeing this.
But Yu Pingzhi doesn't think so simply, keep looking.
Oh, the fruit has some foundation, and upon closer inspection, there are still some traces. This appearance is strange. Generally, it was born with noble status, but later it was stripped away, and now it has acquired good luck again
I see there are still changes inside, but I want to see them clearly
At this moment, Ye Qing didn't notice this person and instead bowed to the table, saying, "So it's Brother He. We met quite happily a while ago, and I don't want to meet again today. Also, don't mention this fellow Jinshi anymore. Let's just joke around privately. The list is on the way, don't let me get in the way of the examiner
He Mao patted his head with joy and said, "Look at my quick talk. Let's not repeat it. Sit down quickly and introduce you to these good friends of mine. Let's have a few drinks together
The surrounding children were overjoyed when they saw Ye Qingguo sitting down, and they all spoke out to greet him, taking the opportunity to make friends.
He Mao shouted to the waiter again, "Add another set of dishes and two more pots of wine
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing smiled, showing a posture of never getting drunk again. She could only bow her hand and say, "Since that's the case, you're not polite
The words from Brother Ye. "The children all laughed.
Ye Qing stayed here for a few days, and the incident with the Dragon Palace banquet attracted attention due to its literary name.
I have prejudices in my heart and want to meet some people. I have previous life experiences and am used to these banquets and literary events. Whenever I talk about the essence of articles and express myself appropriately, I don't steal anyone's limelight. The literary relationship is still harmonious.
The day of the big exam is approaching, let me drink this cup to the fullest and wish everyone success! "Ye Qing sat down, poured a cup of wine, and stood up to speak.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was filled with awe. With only five days left before the big exam day, they couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow and stood up one after another, saying, "Wishing us all success in the imperial examination
After finishing his words, he took a sip and drank all the drinks.
Ye Qing also finished her drinks before sitting down to eat formally. She casually asked, "I wonder what are you all ready for
This is a common topic for banquet opening, and many young students have become accustomed to it. At this time, whether they are well prepared or not, at least on the surface, they are full of confidence. Even those who occasionally sigh are difficult to distinguish between being clumsy or self deprecating.
As the crowd spoke, Yu Pingzhi suddenly saw, in a daze, a dragon turtle faintly appearing above Ye Qing.
The dragon turtle has a dragon head, a turtle body, a snake tail, and phoenix claws. Although it is not a real dragon, it is not inferior to a real dragon at all. This dragon turtle has a slight green aura and a faint purple aura brewing.
If there are different foundations, let's see who's behind it
Gradually, it turned out to be a dark and diffuse area, with only a trace to follow - a faint light. Tracing along the light, from a distance, it was a pillar of light that could not be seen.
A solid figure stood in the beam of light, and Yu Pingzhi was startled. Suppressing his palpitations, he looked closely and said, "This must be the foundation of this person
But before I could take a closer look, the originally floating dragon turtle let out a roar, and everything in front of me was shattered.
Yu Pingzhi felt a sweet sensation in his throat and immediately knew that he had suffered backlash.
This dragon turtle is Taiping Lake. If this son had received the favor of the Dragon Lord, he would have violated the taboo of prying before his luck dissipated. Unfortunately, only the Poetry Queen has this
With a hint of enlightenment, my heart instantly surged: "No matter how much we hide, we can't hide this. This person is a variable! My nephew's fortune has been partially swallowed up by this person, but that's not a lot. Is it war or peace now
It's a battle, there might be someone behind this person. If it causes a fierce battle, it's not good. It's a peace, but it's a loss. Moreover, in the same year of the imperial examination, there may be conflicts and disputes
Just as I was about to think about it, I felt dizzy. Knowing that it had triggered a backlash, I quickly stood up, struggled to get over, shouted for a ox cart, and ordered, "Go to the Yu Mansion
