　　 came out of the test room, I stretched out my limbs, alas, these few days have caused me to work hard, the test shed is narrow and small, and I don’t have money to manage, so on the third day, basically inside the room It’s all the smell of the toilet. If it weren’t for following my dad, I would have suffered a lot. I’m afraid I can’t even eat the food. I’m afraid that I can eat frugally and use it today, and I don’t even have a copper on my body. There is still half a month before the list is released. What can I do these days? I want to sell calligraphy and painting or write letters for others, I think seriously.

　　 Going back to the inn, I’ll calculate that tomorrow’s room money is gone, so I took the four treasures of the study, and decided to go to the Confucius Temple to set up a stall. When I arrived at the Confucius Temple, I spent a long time with the owner of a small tea house and agreed to replace it. He wrote two letters and set up a stall at the entrance of his teahouse. Unfortunately, the business was not very good. The people who wrote letters here were all ignorant of writing letters, so no one cares how you write them. I waited for a long time and had no business. When I was in distress, a little lady in Tsing Yi came over. I saw her attire and knew she was a widow, but she was only eighteen or nine years old, so pitiful. She timidly said: “Sir, the slave wants to write a testimonial.” I picked up the pen and said: “What kind of testimony, who do you want to sue?”

　　 She said in a certain way: “The slave’s husband passed away unfortunately and the slave wanted to remarry, but the father-in-law did not agree.” I asked a few more specific questions, picked up a pen and wrote: “Seventeen married, eighteen widows, Uncle Gong Zhuang, melon field and Li Xia, marry or not?” She looked at my writing inexplicably, and asked: “Sir, these few words are too few.” I said proudly: “Don’t worry, this kind of Pass it up and make sure that the government approves you to remarry.” She gave me ten coppers, and I gratefully looked at the coppers, thinking, today’s dinner is available, and I have to work hard, yet tomorrow’s money? Then I have no business again. Less than an hour later, I saw that little widow came back beamingly. When I saw me, I was grateful and said: “Sir, thank you for your shape. The adults will be fine as soon as I see my shape.” I thought, that. Of course, the current Jianye Jing Zhaoyin attaches great importance to ethics and morality. The widow remarries, but one person is out of touch. If an **** scandal occurs, it will be a major event. As soon as this little widow left, my business got better. When I saw it at night, it was enough for two or three days’ room. Of course, I didn’t dare to write more pleadings. If someone came to write pleadings, I would always change the law to persuade me. He didn’t want to file a complaint, it was not for other reasons. Too many complaints would damage my reputation.

　　 I wrote a letter at the Confucius Temple for a few days. I think it’s almost enough for me to wait until the list is released at Jianye, so I closed the stall and listened to people chatting and laughing in the small tea house. Anyway, a pot of tea can make me stay for one day, of course Although I am no longer in business, if someone comes to me to write a letter, I can still do it, but I have to charge a few more coppers. Is it killing time anyway? After a day or two, my hands were itchy for a while, and I used the I-Ching I learned to measure fortune-telling. To tell the truth, I am not very accurate in fortune-telling. I just rely on the I-Ching mental arithmetic and my ability to observe. So quickly it became a fortune. Of course, I have enough silver to spend, so I only count three lessons a day, and I still give one lesson a day. It’s strange to say that this has aroused the curiosity of many people, so the silver is like flowing water. Come. Of course, in order to conceal my eyes, I changed my attire and changed my appearance a little bit. That is, I used medicine to make my skin yellow.

　　 It’s almost noon this day. I have already counted three lessons. I decided to close the stall after the free lesson. At this moment, a young man hurriedly walked in and said: “Sir, I’m a trader, the first two Tian received a message from my hometown saying that my wife is about to give birth, but she is not in good health. I hurried back and haven’t returned home yet. Somehow, I’m very upset. You will calculate it for me. Whether a child is safe, whether it is a male or a female.” I thought about it for a long time before saying: “No problem, small dangers are safe, Mrs. Zun is a bit dangerous, but your husband and wife should be able to give birth if they accumulate virtue and do good. You are a child. Shuangquan’s destiny, brother is really a blessing.” Asking how I know, I really don’t know, this kind of thing can’t be counted, but I can’t say anything bad, what should I do if he is half anxious, but I see He has a loyal appearance and good health. Listening to his tone, the husband and wife are quite harmonious, so there should be no problems with the children. As for his wife, he said that his health is not very good. Of course, he is about to give birth, and the husband is not there yet. As soon as the kid goes back, his wife will be happy and she will give birth smoothly. As for whether it’s a boy or a girl, I didn’t say it clearly, and it would be a prevarication at that time. This young man was going to give money away happily. I told him that this lesson was given away. He was thanking me. A middle-aged man ran over and said happily: “The third child, you can come back. Now, a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, go back quickly, go back quickly.” The young man was staying for a while when he heard it, and suddenly rushed away. I sighed. When I was rejoicing, everyone next to me looked at me with admiring eyes, and I felt embarrassed.

　　At this time, a man in gray who was sitting at the door stood up, walked up to me, and said lightly: “How about a lesson for me, sir.”

　　 I looked up and saw that this man was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old. His body was tall and vigorous, and the young and handsome face had a calm look. Behind him was a middle-aged man in Confucian clothes and a black man. The entourage of clothes. I hesitated and said: “The number of hexagrams is full today, this…”

　　The man in gray said lightly: “I also know that Mr. is embarrassed, but I will leave Beijing tomorrow, so please do it reluctantly.”

　　 I look at these three people. The gray-clothed man’s eyes are full of commands. It must be the person who ordered the forbidden. Although the Tsing-yi man has some disdain, he also has some expectations. As for the entourage, his face is full. Threatened. Seeing that I can’t afford to offend, I count the days, and the day after tomorrow, I will open the list, so I said: “Well, I just happen to be out of business next. This is my masterpiece.”

　　 The man in gray was a little surprised. He seemed to think that I was forced to do this because I was going to tell him a fortune. However, he was puzzled in his heart and had to ask: “I am about to go on a long journey. Is this a good or bad trip?”

　　 I spent a long time doing the calculations, and said: “The upper six of the hexagram, the emblem is used. □ Yu Congji, not three years old, fierce. I am afraid that your trip will be difficult and difficult.” I peeked at this. Looking at his look, I thought to myself, people like you are usually confident and slow. Since you are hesitant to ask questions, things must be tricky. The gray-clothed man’s expression was gloomy, and for a moment he said: “Excuse me, sir, what’s the problem?” How do I know this? I thought for a while, and I thought this man from his tolerance and demeanor should be a soldier. Two people, one should be an assistant and the other should be a guard. The identity of this person should not be simple. Is there any major event in Nanchu? No matter what major event, I just need to be vague. Thinking of this, I said: “There are disputes inside. There are powerful enemies outside, and things are difficult to handle. If you are cautious, it may be possible.” Although I am vague, it just caters to the gray-clothed man’s psychology and the situation. The man in gray sighed, turned and left. The man in Tsing Yi took out a silver ticket and put it on the table. I waited for them to walk away. I took a closer look. It was a thousand taels. He almost cried out and hurriedly stuffed it. In his arms, then close the stall and leave.

　　 Another few days have passed. It’s already August 15th. Today is the day when the gold list comes out. I am a little hesitant. If it was a few days ago, I would certainly look forward to the gold list title, but I have a lot of money now, but some I regretted that I might be admitted, so I didn’t go to the list and read my poems in the room. It didn’t take long before I heard crackling firecrackers outside. A buddy and shopkeeper enthusiastically opened the door and shouted for joy. “Congratulations, Master, Congratulations, Congratulations to Master Jiang, who is a top champion in high school. The shop is really brilliant. Please also the number one master to write a few words for the shop.” I looked out the window in confusion, no Know the future. On second thought, I may not catch up with the subjugation anyway, and I heard that the library of Nanchu Hanlin Academy has a collection of millions of books, and it is the largest library in the world. I was happy again. I heard that the lord of Nanchu made an edict to collect world books last year. Calligraphy and painting, to build the Chongwen Temple to pass on to the world, I must have the opportunity to participate.

　　 At the end of the same night, I took the number plate to the entrance of the Examination Institute. The new recruits gathered at the entrance were all dressed up, and they looked very bright. When I got to the door, I saw everyone with strange eyes Look at me, I still look jealous. I was wondering when a scholar with big ears came over and asked, “Is this Xiongtai a new scholar to the Qionglin Banquet?” I nodded and said, “Exactly, what’s the matter? “The man immediately showed a respectful look after hearing this: “It turns out that the new champion has arrived, disrespectful and disrespectful. Under Liu Kui, he is really the second place in the first class of the undergraduate.” It turned out that I had already arrived here before I came. Ming Jinshi, only when I am the champion, I can understand why so many people have different colors in their eyes. Those new jinshis all came to greet each other one by one, when I couldn’t handle it. Hearing three bells ringing, a high-ranking official came out with a number of examiners, one by one, we checked our name tags, verified our identities, and let us line up and follow him into the palace. I, the champion, naturally walked in the forefront. He and Tanhua, while the other seven first-class jinshi followed us, and the other seventy jinshis lined up in a row of seven. Walking on the road to the imperial city, there are people watching the excitement on both sides of the road. Where we walked, there was thunderous cheers, and the team entered the inner city of the imperial palace at Chaoyangmen, which is the gate of the inner city, except for the emperor. No one can go. Except for the emperor, only us who are new scholars can go for a time when they go to the Qionglin banquet. When I walked into the inner city, I saw the laughter of women from time to time after the rockery flowers and trees. It must be those palace ladies peeking at us.

　　 finally arrived at Qionglin Garden. We were seated separately under the arrangement of the officials of the Superintendent of Li. After all the Jinshi and the chief examiner sat down according to their rankings, we only heard the **** screamed: “The Lord is here.” I saw an old man in a dragon robe walked in under the service of a group of court ladies and eunuchs. I followed everyone on my knees and shouted earnestly: “Long live the lord of the country.” The lord said weakly. ” All the Qings were flat.” We stood up, and this Qiong Lin banquet was finally about to begin. After following the etiquette, we can finally taste the imperial meal with peace of mind. It is really delicious. If possible, I really want to get the chef from the imperial dining room home to cook. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone was a little relaxed.

　　At this time, Zhao Sheng put down his chopsticks and said to the examiner: “Shi Aiqing, let me introduce the top three of Jinke for the loneliness.” The examiner quickly got up and saluted: “The minister followed the decree.” Then he pointed to me: “Given the country lord, this is the first champion of the first class in the test, Jiaxing Jiang Zhe.” I quickly left my seat and knelt down and said: “Chen Jiangzhe knocked on the lord.” Zhao Sheng smiled and said, “Good. Sure enough, you are a young talent. Your article is well written, especially the song “Sentiment under the Moon.” I have already ordered someone to re-compose the music, and I will let everyone listen to it later.” The examiner pointed to the second place and Tanhua said: ” For the country master, this is Jiangning Liu Kui in the second place, and this is the third in Huaiyang Fu Yulun.” Zhao Sheng admired a few words one by one, and then ordered us to return. When we were seated, Zhao Sheng waved his hand. After a while, a group of female music floated out of the apse. Some played the xiao fuqin, and some danced on the side. After a while, a woman sang loudly and said: “When will the bright moon come, ask the wine Blue sky. I don’t know what year is the palace in the sky. I want to go back by the wind. I am afraid that Qionglou Yuyu, the heights are too cold, dance to figure out the shadows, how is it like to be in the world. There should be no hate. What is the long time to go to the other time? People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy eyes. This matter is difficult in ancient times. I hope that people will last forever. “It is the work of my exam. All the people in the temple were immersed in the beautiful feelings.

　　At this moment, a **** came in and reported: “Enlighten the Lord, the Prime Minister, please see me.”

　　 Zhao Shengman said: “What’s the matter, I’m holding a Qionglin banquet here alone, let him take care of any other state affairs.” The **** said: “The Prime Minister said there is an urgent matter.” Zhao Sheng was helpless. Nodded and said: “Okay, let him in.” After a while, an old man wearing a first-grade official uniform walked in happily, and when he saw Zhao Sheng, he knelt down and said: “Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, Da Yong Send an envoy to the dynasty to convey Emperor Yong’s will and want to become in-laws with me in Nanchu.” Zhao Sheng said with joy and some unbelief: “This is true.” The old man nodded and said: “That’s right, Emperor Yong has love. Female, Nian Fang and Ji, are willing to marry our prince as a concubine. Since then, the two countries will reconcile and will never send soldiers.” Zhao Sheng overjoyed: “Today is really a double happiness, I am a new talent in Southern Chu, and I am tied to Da Yong. Okay. Come here, I’ll see you soon.” After that, Zhao Shengqi drove away. The only Qionglin banquet in my life was over like this, but everyone was happy when they heard the good news. But I was a little puzzled, how could Dayong suddenly marry Nanchu? Is it possible that it’s impossible like I planned, I shook my head.

　　 A few months later, the court was busy going to death. I entered the Imperial Academy as usual and happily invested in the library. I only faintly heard that Emperor Yong’s daughter, Princess Changle, was beautiful and very graceful. The emperor loves it, but I think how beautiful a little girl who is just fifteen or sixteen years old can be. After several months of operation, after completing the six ceremonies of receiving color, asking for name, najib, receiving sign, asking for appointment, and welcoming, At the time of the New Year’s Day, Princess Changle officially married the Prince of Nanchu. I was fortunate enough to attend the wedding as the champion of the new division. After the wedding, when His Royal Highness and Concubine received the courtesy of the officials, I finally saw Princess Changle. The true face of her is really graceful and luxurious, and she is beautiful and dusty. Although she is still young and inevitably a little immature, she is really beautiful. In comparison, the prince next to him, although he is in his early twenties, don’t be overshadowed by how you look at it. Of course, at this time, everyone is talking about “Lang Cai Nv Appearance ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Heaven’s Match” and the like. But I don’t want to come to Emperor Yong to be so ruthless. I want to use my favorite daughter to pretend to get married. I still hope that Nan Chu will not fight with Dayong. Although the long pain is not as good as the short one, it is better to unite earlier, but I still want to A few more comfortable days, so I prayed sincerely. I hope that Dayong really has a good relationship with Nanchu, so that I can live a peaceful life for decades.

　　While I prayed sincerely, the musician began to play music, singing the new work “The Green Jade Case” by the Hanlin Bachelor of mine who was just released.

　　”The east wind puts flowers and thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars fragrant all over the road. The phoenix flute sounds, the jade pot turns light, and the fish and dragon dance overnight. The golden strands of moths, snow willows, and the smiles are dark Xiang go. The crowd looked for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, the lights were dim.”

　　The maids danced gracefully with the music. I looked up, but saw Princess Changle turned her head slightly, and from the corner of her eye, a drop of crystal teardrops slipped silently to the dust. A chill in my heart. This lonely girl is going to spend her life in a foreign country from now on. From then on, she can’t meet her parents and family. This is still a good prospect. If, if Dayong is just pretending to get married, although I hope not, but I am not so sure, then what a harsh ending this girl will face. At this time, I saw His Royal Highness lowered his head and said something in the ear of the princess. Although it was too far away and the voice was messy, I still vaguely heard the Prince telling Princess Changle that the song “The Qingyu Case: Yuan Xi” was a new subject. The work of the champion Jiang Zhe. Princess Changle followed the gaze of the Prince’s Prince to look at me, and smiled slightly. The smile was like a spring flower blooming, which made my heart tremble, and she quickly lowered her head. Somehow, there was an inexplicable feeling in my heart.
