Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 468
Three days later, the examination book in the Shanxue Square of the Guozijian attracted the attention of scholars, but from this day on, not only the scholars paid attention, but also the officials and ordinary people took their hearts, and it was publicized in the whole of Beijing, and there was a lot of buzz about it. , are ready to go to the scene in three days to see.

Shrewd small traders began to think about it, occupying the site early and selling it when the time comes, hoping to make some quick money.

The second floor of the study on the opposite side of the main road in Shanxue Plaza was booked up early.

But the people of Guozijian noticed something, dispersed the small traders in advance, and reported it to the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites made arrangements in advance and sent officers and soldiers to paddock the field in advance to ensure the stability of the Guozijian, the safety of the people, and the smoothness of the examination room.

A re-examination of Xie Yuan, triggered by candidates from Taiyuan Prefecture, swept through Beijing, causing commotion before the time came.

Xue Ping already knew about this matter, but he didn't care about a group of candidates making troubles. After hearing that Xie Yuan from Taiyuan Mansion was able to argue with Qin Jijiu, and his wind evaluation in Beijing skyrocketed, he changed his mind. Ask the servant to prepare for this matter, and go to see it in three days. If it is true as rumored, he doesn't mind showing his favor early and taking it under his banner.

This incident even reached the ears of Guo Neng, the young servant wanted to sell well, and told him this as a joke, and asked him if he wanted to watch the fun to relieve his mood, but instead he beat the young servant, what's wrong with a bookworm? Look, he is very anxious, he is busy arranging a way out for the Guo family, and waiting for the news of the third wave of people sent to the south, how can he have the time to watch a scholar's exam.

As for Lianbao, Lian Musu and Lian Musu discussed the possibility of being discovered by the Guo family long before departure, and made careful arrangements. Let Lianbao relocate the whole family to a place that he doesn't know. He has his own way to save it, so Lianbao and the others can rest assured.

Just counting and counting, Lian Bao couldn't figure out that his elder brother's re-examination caused such a big commotion. He was both happy and uneasy. He always knew that his elder brother was talented, and he was recognized by scholars. happy.

But in the end, caring about the safety of the eldest brother is more important than anything else. Although the more famous the elder brother is, no one dares to touch him, but after all, he is an impostor, and he can't see the light. He is afraid that Guo Neng will find out and use dirty means to expose it.

He felt uneasy, and he and Uncle Ma sent all the people out to watch every move of Guo's mansion. There was a disturbance at all costs, and if it couldn't be stopped, he would try his best to rescue his elder brother.

Having Li Qingshu and Qianchen at home gave him a lot of peace of mind, and he could go out and run around without worry.

This matter Lian Musu himself was not considered to be such a big sensation. He forgot that today is the holiday of the Imperial College. The students who stayed in the Imperial College have all met him and heard his discussion with Qin Jijiu. Highly respected, today you can go in and out again.

These students either wrote letters to send out, or went out to talk with friends, or gathered in restaurants and teahouses outside, talking about it with great relish, and it was spread around the whole capital in less than half a day. Zhong Lianmu's appearance is very good, and idlers can't help but become more interested.

Lian Musu and the others were waiting for the examination in the Imperial College at ease. He carried his bags and required books in the book basket and brought them here. He was already prepared.

The students and teachers of the Imperial College treated him very well and respected him very much. Brother Liang who lived next to his residence also treated him very well. Everything was fine, except for one thing that baffled him.

For some unknown reason, there was an old man with white beard and hair who always appeared in the distance without his noticing, stroking his beard and looking at him while nodding, seemingly very satisfied.

That's all, but the old man always walked away when he noticed that he was looking over, and dropped a book every time.

At first he thought that the person was unintentional, and even tried to call him back, but there was no noise in the academy, so he couldn't shout, so he chased him out, and by the time he got there, the old man had long since disappeared.

He had no choice but to pick up the lost scroll, and after a closer look, it turned out to be an isolated copy. "Dai Shi Tongyi's Annotation" was only heard in rumors, and he didn't want it to be handed down to the world, it was very precious.

The old man must have been very anxious if he lost such a precious copy, so he had no choice but to put it away properly while looking for someone to find out if there was an old man with white beard and hair in the academy, and wanted to return the book to the old man.

It's just that I couldn't figure it out. I asked Brother Liang, and he didn't know. He said that there was no such person in the Imperial College who had a beard and hair all white.

This old man seemed to appear out of nowhere, and Lian Musu was very puzzled at first.

When he failed to search and was about to look for it after the exam, the old man appeared again.

This time when he found out, the old man did not walk away immediately, but stroked his beard with admiration in his eyes, and regretted it when he saw his left leg.

He was about to get up and chase to return the book, but the old man "accidentally" dropped a book from his arms, as if on purpose, but pretended not to see it, and walked away quickly, walking very fast, according to his little book. According to my sister, she walked as fast as if a wolf dog was chasing after her.

When he arrived, the person had long since disappeared, so he picked it up and looked, oh, "The Chronicles of the Spring and Autumn Period"!
It is another top-quality rare book, more precious than the previous one, and it is an extremely rare ancient book that is hard to find in the world.

He held the book and stood there, feeling more and more strange in his heart, the old man seemed to have dropped the book on purpose, as if it was just for him.

But the rare ancient books are so precious, even the rubbings are extremely precious, and they are the most precious things of the big families, passed down from generation to generation, and almost never leaked.

He has never lived with this old man, so how could he intentionally lose such a precious copy to him?
He couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought, and he couldn't find out the name of the old man, so he simply didn't want to think about it. Since the man appeared twice, there will be a third and fourth time.

Sure enough, in the next few days, when he put down the book in his hand, when he finished writing an article, and when he opened the window for lunch, the old man always appeared mysteriously. Even if the old man leaves, he will "inadvertently" leave behind a single copy when he leaves.

It made him dumbfounded, looking at the more and more lonely books in his hands, he finally understood that the old man did it on purpose and would never let him get close, and the dropped books were for him to read.

Putting these solitary copies here with him is simply a test of his determination. If so, then he doesn't have to be shy, just look at it openly. As for the purpose of the old man, it will always be revealed in the future.

He didn't believe that this old man would leave these beloved orphans behind!
After so many times, he has long seen that the old man cherishes these orphan copies very much. Not to mention that the orphan copies are extremely well preserved and smell like insect repellent pills on them, he just said that the old man returned the orphan copies that "inadvertently" dropped, always Accidentally dropped on dry stone benches, thick fallen leaves, etc., all of which are not as carefully selected.
