There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 747|Sixty-fourth dragon scales (five)

The sixty-fourth dragon scale (five)

Unexpectedly, the ten-year-old Xie Yuan really made a name for himself at the Luming Banquet. The examiner saw that although he was young, his conversational temperament was outstanding. He appreciated him very much, and even wrote a letter to him personally , Seeing the eyes of other people present are red! Who doesn't know that the chief examiner of Chongzhou this time is Master Cui, a scholar who was specially assigned by Jinshang.

Originally, this person is full of talents, but the title of Xie Yuan was taken away by a ten-year-old child. It is very embarrassing, but this kid is very good at pretending to be cute and being liked by Master Cui, and everyone's eyes are jealous He became popular, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Master Cui. No one would let anyone know that he was a narrow-minded person. Therefore, everyone could only force themselves to show a polite smile for Linglong's high-profile attention.

Master Cui was a little disappointed to learn that Linglong would not participate in the next year's exam, but more understanding. He has seen many prodigies who can recite poetry at the age of three and can write at the age of five, but he has seen many more, but it is the fall of these prodigies. Linglong's family can realize this, and it can be seen that they are still very interested in him.

After all, this age is really too young. Even if they take the exam next year, they may not be able to get a good ranking. The most important thing is that the child's mentality must be stable.

So he patted Linglong's head, the child is really lovable: "After seven years, this official will be waiting for you in the capital. If you can, then you must call this official a teacher." /

This is a euphemism to express the meaning of wanting to accept him as a disciple. The shopkeeper next to him was beaming with joy, blinked his eyes, and answered unceremoniously: "Okay."

To turn a group of jealous eyes red again!

After the Luming Banquet was over, Linglong and the shopkeeper Fang embarked on a journey home. The family members knew that he knew Yuan in the exam, and they were already crazy with joy! Even the eldest sister, the second and third sisters, who have already married, went back to her parents' house specially, brought a lot of food, and also brought the three brothers-in-law!

Among the five golden flowers, the eldest girl, the second girl and the third girl are not too young, so they got married under the help of the shopkeeper. Although the brothers-in-law did not show their family background, they were all of good character and family. Also a very good person, plus a promising brother-in-law, even better for his wife! Knowing that Linglong passed the exam, Jie Yuan, the three brothers-in-law just put together a sum of money, saying that they wanted to pay for a drink.

The villagers in Daliushu Village couldn't believe it. The juren from the next village had not been admitted for more than ten years. The little Liubao of Liu Laohan's family was admitted at the age of ten? !

This is amazing too!

So Linglong felt like she had become a gorilla in the zoo. Every day, all kinds of people came to visit her home. The name was congratulations, but she wanted to see if he had three heads and six arms.

You can become an official, and the county magistrate has also visited several times in person, and his attitude towards Linglong is more friendly. There is no hope for his own son, and he is still struggling on the academy test line! He just wants to have a good relationship with Linglong, and if Linglong grows up in the future, he can also make some connections.

Mr. Mei let Linglong Xiaoyao be happy for half a month, and then he re-arrested him into the school to continue his studies. His little disciple has a lazy temperament, just like a donkey that pulls a mill. If you don't give him a few whips, he will don't go.

He told Mr. Liu, the shopkeeper of the old man's room, and others earnestly, that it was not that he was not allowed to continue the test, but that he was too young, and it would not be beneficial to end the test too early, and the test would be more difficult and the conditions were more harsh and harsh. You need to be good in learning, but not in poor health. A ten-year-old child may not be able to handle it.

The old man Liu and the shopkeeper Fang thought of Liu Bao's sluggish appearance after taking the township test, and they agreed with it, and nodded in agreement.

Linglong stayed at home for another seven years. During these seven years, the restaurant of the shopkeeper Fang went to the government office! There have also been earth-shaking changes in the family. All five sisters are married, and one is better than the other. After marrying, they have both children. The family is no longer poor, and it is more than enough for him to study alone.

However, I have to go to Beijing to take the exam, so Linglong doesn't need anyone to accompany her, and she is no longer a ten-year-old child. The shopkeeper Fang chose two book boys for him. They were both quick-witted and diligent and able to take care of others. When they sent Linglong off, even the always dashing Mr. Mei had red eyes.

The family repeatedly told him to be careful along the way. It would take more than half a month to rush from Tongping County to the capital, so Linglong was still in the cold spring when he set off. , why not worry?

Get on the carriage, Linglong opened the curtain and waved to the family: "Father, mother, godfather, sir, sisters and brothers-in-law, I'm leaving!"

Everyone's eyes were red, and the little nieces and nephews who could talk and walk called out to their little uncles and wanted to follow them to the car. When Linglong was bored, he would play with this group of little peas. It was actually a one-sided bullying, but the little peas were not angry with him, but liked him very much and often clinged to him.

My son is seventeen, and old man Liu also thought about making a marriage appointment for him. You must know that since Liubao was admitted to the Xiucai, there are many people in the village who have come to talk about marriage! Liu Laohan and Wang Shi almost didn't pick up on the dazzling eyes. Fortunately, the shopkeeper Fang had seen the world and did not agree with the old brother's hasty betrothal to Liubao. In his opinion, Liubao has a bright future. A good choice, why rush it for a while?

As for Mr. Mei... Mr. Mei is not in a hurry at all. He has no wife and no children all his life, isn't he still happy? He also supports students even if they are not married in their entire lives.

Fang shopkeeper bought two bookboys, one named Sijin and the other named Bajin. They are twins, Sijin is lively and eight Jin is dull. They have been following Linglong since five years ago, and they are familiar with the living habits of their son. can no longer be familiar.

The shopkeeper Fang was afraid that Linglong would not eat well on the way, so he specially asked Bajin to learn cooking skills from himself for two years. Bajin is willing to work hard, and he is not stupid, although he can't learn the cooking skills of the shopkeeper Fang. Ten percent, but there are still seven or eight points.

The carriage was bought, and the driver was four jin. In addition to changing clothes and books, the most important thing in the carriage was food... Over the years, under Linglong's "inspiration", the shopkeeper has been tossing about new food, otherwise the restaurant His name wouldn't have spread so well. In the past, the three families were evenly divided, but now it is the shopkeeper Fang's family that dominates.

"Son, this road is a little bumpy, you can sit down!"

Sijin is a chatterer, but Bajin doesn't like to talk. The two brothers have very different personalities, but they are almost the same except for their looks.

Linglong opened the curtains and looked at the uneven ground, and sighed, this is really not a thing, the official road is so difficult to go, and I don't know how to send someone to repair it. into several petals.

He was bored in the car, so he ran out too. The scenery outside was pretty good. The mountains stretched out and the greenery was full of greenery. Even the air seemed very fresh. Slowly out of sight.

Linglong doesn't have that kind of sadness and parting. He is now thinking about how many breaths he will have left after going to the capital for half a month, so after improving the environment of the examination room, repairing the official road has also become a matter for him to become a prime minister. Big deal.

One of the major reasons for the lack of information in ancient society was the inconvenience of transportation!

However, along the way, Linglong discovered something very strange, that is, it went too smoothly.

It went really well.

It doesn't mean it's bad if you meet a robber or something, but when you're out and about, it's hard to avoid inconvenience, especially when you're in the city. Abundant, every time he went to a place, he would wander around, and going out with him was not like taking an exam but on an outing, and even Bajin, who spoke little, often had a smile on his face.

It's strange here, every place they go, they can stay in the best inn for no money, followed by the shopkeeper's follower who comes to serve the introduction in person, and also accompany him out for a walk, as if secretly Someone has already arranged everything properly, and Linglong only needs to eat, drink, and have fun in Beijing.

This person can never be Lord Cui.

In the past seven years, Linglong and Mr. Cui have not been named teachers and students, but they have a teacher-student friendship. The two often write letters. Although they can't meet, their relationship has deepened. Linglong knows his new teacher too well. In the modern society, it is a super technical house, a person who is so focused on learning that he can even forget his own meals, how can he do such a thoughtful thing?

However, the people behind the scenes have no ill will towards him. It is a fool not to take advantage of the free door. ?

So even with the journey that should have been a little more than half a month, I walked a whole month and three days more.

There are a lot of people rushing to take the exam this year. The Jingcheng Inn is overcrowded, and those who come a little later can only sleep in a room for ten people. Although Linglong arrived late, there was still a good guest room waiting for him, but this time he didn't stay, because Master Cui sent someone to book him a hotel room early.

The servant who came to greet Linglong was at a loss, no, what happened to this young master Liu? Along the way, I enjoyed his girl's arrangement of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Why did he leave without turning around with a word of thanks when he arrived in the capital? What does this mean? If nothing else, at least ask who his master is? Isn't this Young Master Liu curious?

Seriously, Linglong isn't really curious.

He doesn't care who is full, anyway, the other party took the initiative to send it to the door, he accepted it reluctantly, and now he doesn't want to accept it, but if you want him to repay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's impossible.

He didn't ask for it on his own initiative, did he?

The servant returned tremblingly and replied, the girl behind the screen chuckled softly: "He still has such a temperament."

It's really... terrifying, loving, and nostalgic.

The man knelt down and didn't dare to speak, the girl said: "It's done, you go down."

Linglong didn't know anything about a girl who was secretly thinking about her. He was different from his peers. The son of the county magistrate's family was three years older than him. In terms of thinking, the old man Liu is a childless life, and his arrival cannot continue the incense for the old man Liu family.

After entering the inn to do some cleaning, take a shower and change clothes, Linglong went to visit Mr. Cui with the souvenirs she brought from home.

I haven't seen him for seven years. Mr. Cui has been appointed to the second-rank Hanlin Academy. He learned that Linglong was coming today. I think that my master is a sloppy guy who studies his knowledge and doesn't care about anything. The last time he dressed up like this or married her, what did this mean?

Master Cui finished tidying up his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, then turned his head and saw that his wife was still wearing that jingchai cloth dress, and immediately said, "Why hasn't my wife changed her clothes yet? Someone will be here in a while."

"Master, who are you coming?"

The two of them have only one daughter, and they are already married. The two have been together for a lifetime, and they have no airs at home. Mrs. Cui is gentle and not very luxurious. She usually grows flowers and vegetables by herself. I don't think my wife is so embarrassing, but I find it rather wild. In my spare time, I dress simply at home, and even plan the ground! It is precisely because Lord Cui has such a temperament that the emperor uses him with great confidence.

"Look at my brain." Master Cui slapped himself on the forehead, "Seven years ago I was instructed to go to Chongzhou to take the exam. That year, Xie Yuan was a ten-year-old baby, and now he is seventeen. , just as a teenager, to participate in this year's spring festival, he is going to come to the door today."

Mrs. Cui suddenly realized: "That's why you asked me to book a guest room before, just for this little friend?"

How could Mrs. Cui not know that her master had passed down the book to Hongyan for seven years? She is also from a scholarly family, but her family has fallen. She has been reading poetry and books since she was a child. Every letter written by Linglong has something to do with every word. .

Master Cui nodded: "That's right."

Then he saw his wife's face change instantly: "Then why didn't the master say it earlier? Oh, I, I transplanted a few pots of flowers just now, which made mud all over my hands, I'll go wash it!"

After speaking, he hurriedly left, leaving Mr. Cui scratching his head. How can he see my little friend, and his wife is more excited than him?

When Mrs. Cui came back after dressing up, she ordered people to prepare tea and cakes, which are all Linglong likes to eat. Mrs. Cui asked: "Master, since that child is here, why not let him live in our mansion?"

Master Cui shook his head: "No."

"Why is that?"

"That child is very talented, he is not in the pool, he must have a bright future, but think about it, what is the most disgusting thing today?"

Mrs. Cui suddenly understood.

It's a gang.

If Linglong really lived in their house, she would have won the first place in the exam. When it came to the palace exam, the emperor would not give him a good ranking. In that case, he would have harmed him. It's better to let the children come to visit, but don't move around too often, so as not to fall into the eyes of those who care and let them make a big fuss.

Although there are adults in the DPRK who are dedicated to serving the society, there are also those who are intriguing and intriguing. Their masters disdain to be in the company of such people, so they are only obsessed with learning.

Seeing that Madam was in a low mood, Master Cui quickly said, "Madam, don't be surprised when you see Linglong later."

The lady rolled her eyes at him: "I'm not surprised, he's a good boy and talented, I like it before it's too late."

Master Cui remembered that the child was born with a unique appearance seven years ago, and immediately muttered: "...I don't have to like it too much."

Mrs: ?

A thousand words and ten thousand words are not as amazing as Madam's real surprise when she sees Linglong!

This kid is so handsome!

Scene and handsome, but not the kind of girlish delicacy, but rather heroic. Let's put it this way, he is the most dazzling in the crowd, to what extent is he dazzling? Mrs. Cui would not describe it, but if she lived thousands of years later, she would feel that this child, everyone else is like the front camera of a mobile phone, he is the kind with a beauty filter! Still the biggest beauty filter!

The daughter is married far away, and the son-in-law is filial, but he is not a Beijing official, and it is difficult to see each other for a few years. She can only rely on letters to explain her thoughts. Linglong is younger than their daughter, and Mrs. Cui showed her aunt smile at that time. , Not much to say, eat first!

Sijin has long been accustomed to this kind of situation, and I have never met anyone who hates their son. Who wouldn't his favorability surge when he met him? As the son's little book boy, he was honored and used to it.

After the meal, Mr. Cui told Linglong what he wanted to pay attention to in this meeting. He also euphemistically revealed Jinshang's character. This throne was snatched, and it is not justifiable, not orthodox.

His hints are very euphemistic and understandable in seconds.

This year, more than 1,000 people participated in the general examination. It was also held in three sessions. Each session took three days. When there are students from all over the world, the scene is not unremarkable, and the number of people is not unremarkable.

Linglong has always had an excellent attitude for taking the test. What bothers him most is the environment of the test room. The small single room used for the test is too narrow, five feet high and four feet wide. He is already 1.8 meters tall, and he has to sleep in it with his legs curled !

Master Cui is not the chief of the exam, but is an assistant for the exam and is also in charge of marking the papers. Therefore, apart from Linglong coming to Beijing to meet, they stopped seeing each other before the exam to avoid suspicion. Only Mrs. Cui would send a servant from the palace. The inn where Linglong stayed gave some food, and Linglong repaid the favor, and also gave Mrs. Cui some exquisite gadgets. He was well-behaved and sincere, and Mrs. Cui naturally liked it. The temple provides incense for Linglong.

At the end of the first test, Linglong was in high spirits among the sullen candidates, nothing else. The numbered room this time was much better than the previous rural test, except for a small mouth for ventilation, it was basically sealed. He couldn't smell anything, so he was naturally in good spirits. He was waiting outside the examination room with four pounds and eight pounds. When he saw his son, he immediately greeted him.

On the second floor not far away, a girl wearing a power fence saw this scene and couldn't help but smile.

She was filled with fiery passion, and wished she could go down and meet that handsome young man immediately, but she knew that it was not appropriate to act rashly at this moment.

There is still one day before the second test starts. Linglong washed up and changed into clean clothes. He came back after eating outside. He happened to hear that a group of scholars were fighting in the inn where he lived. He was really full. There was nothing to do, so Linglong wanted to walk over, but was stopped by someone: "This brother!"

"What advice does Xiongtai have?"

The person who called Linglong was originally to pull people, but when Linglong turned around, the other party was immediately amazed, he gasped, and instantly attracted the attention of others.

In this session, the most famous person is not Lu Ming from Huzhou, who is good at painting, nor Chen Dusheng from Wunan's poetry and poetry, nor Xue Jian, a noble son from a family in Beijing, but Liu Linglong, the little-known Chongzhou child who is remembered by everyone because of a prosperous beauty.

He doesn't fit in at all, doesn't hang out with other people, doesn't study together, and spends his days alone, and his biggest hobby is food. I don't usually see him how to review his homework, and he is even less interested in meeting friends with the text, which makes many people think that he is here to play tickets.

After all, I've never heard of this son's name before.

How can I take a test without a face, how can I grow into such a zhilanyushu?

Linglong saw that the visitor did not speak, so she asked again with a good temper: "What advice does Xiongtai have?"

The man's face flushed red, and he stammered: "I, I, etc. are meeting friends in writing, I don't know, I don't know if this brother is willing to enlighten me?"

Linglong smiled: "Yes."

Sijin and Bajin looked at each other, and they all shed bitter tears for the audience. In the past, Mr. Mei often held poetry meetings, but the son was strictly forbidden to participate, because when he went, no one else dared to come. The group of scholars have never been hanged and beaten, so they don't know how to be afraid!

Someone made a lucky draw right away. At this time, a maid with a double bun ran over and put a piece of jade pendant of good quality on the table with a smile: "My girl heard that all the talented people meet friends with Wen, so she specially added a lucky head. , to cheer up the talents.”

To tell the truth, as a scholar, who has never thought about the title of the bridal chamber flower candle? This jade pendant is not ordinary at first glance, even a maid is born so beautiful, how outstanding a girl is? Someone looked around and saw the private room on the second floor. The door was slightly opened, and the winding skirts were faintly visible. They knew that the lady of everyone must be inside. Get the lady's heart.

At that time, people had the custom of catching their son-in-law under the list. If it could be done, it would be a good talk.

Unfortunately, they met Linglong.

Once upon a time in Tongping County, under the pressure of Mr. Mei, Linglong could save face for her classmates, so that they would not lose too ugly, but what are these people? People who really want to take the imperial examinations have long since taken good care of their spirits or reviewed in the room. These people are crowded outside to engage in literary fights. It is elegant if it sounds good, and it is stinky if it is ugly. A beating from a boss.

After an hour, all the poems, songs, chess, chess, calligraphy and painting were lost.

Linglong didn't take a look at the pile of colorful heads, but she still had a smile on her face: "Tomorrow is going to enter the examination room, you guys should go back to rest earlier, I see your eyelids are blue, I think it is If you don’t sleep well, your body is your capital, so don’t put the cart before the horse.”

After speaking, I bowed my hands, turned around and walked away in a dashing manner.
