Fade Chen knew that Gao Yu's skills were good, and ordinary men couldn't get close to her, but in the middle of the night, if she ran around, she would be in danger, so he grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?" ?”

Gao Yu pouted and muttered: "I don't want to be with you, you accept other people's respect, you are the same as those corrupt officials!"

Fade Chen looked at Lin Yuan innocently, and asked, "What is Bing Jing?"

Lin Yuan explained: "Isn't it summer? Someone gave me some money to buy ice to cool off the heat, which is actually a disguised form of bribery." Lin Yuan turned to Gao Yu, watched her look at him angrily, and said in a low voice : "I take money from foreigners, don't take their money for nothing."

Only then did Gao Yu's expression soften, and Lin Yuan said to Liu San, "Go and arrange a room for them."

Liu San asked carefully: "Arrange one? Or two?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yu blushed, turned her head away and said nothing, Fade Chen said with a smile, "Then let's have two rooms."

Liu San called a young man from the porter, and the young man led Fade Chen and Gao Yu away. Lin Yuan said to Liu San, "Old Liu, if you can't sleep, just talk to me."

Liu San was overwhelmed by the flattery, and quickly declined. Lin Yuan dragged and dragged him into the concierge, only to see that the oil lamp was still on on the table, and there were a plate of fried peanuts and a jar of wine on the table.

Liu San didn't dare to sit down no matter what he said, Lin Yuan pressed him on the chair with great effort, and asked: "Is there any rumor about me in the market recently?"

Liu San beamed and said, "There are a lot of stories about you, my lord. There are storytellers who have compiled your stories into books, talking about you in teahouses and restaurants..."

Lin Yuan interrupted him and asked, "I don't want to hear those New Year's greetings, is there anything to scold me?"

Liu San's complexion changed, and he cupped his hands and said, "The little one will offend me, and I won't talk about sporadic things, but there is one incident recently, and the big guys talked about it very lively."

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu San said: "Originally there will be an examination in late April, but the imperial court postponed it for a while because of the war. Now that the examination has not yet taken place, all the candidates for the examination have stayed in the capital, and the imperial court allocated these people Yinzi, they don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, so that’s all. You said where did they come from? They actually jointly wrote a letter to the Ministry of Officials, saying that you have no scientific examinations, and you can only lead soldiers to fight, and you are not allowed to be an official in the court or take important positions. Do you think it's ridiculous?"

Lin Yuan asked: "Then who is the chief examiner for this exam?"

Liu San replied, "It's Weng Tong and Mr. Weng."

In ancient society, there was no distinction between honor and inferiority. How could a master and a servant sit at the same table and chat? It was already a great honor for Liu San to be pulled by Lin Yuan to sit at the table. Seeing Lin Yuan at this time When you ask him something, you want to tell him everything you know.

So Liu San said: "My lord, since you grew up in the West, you may not know how the imperial examination is conducted. At first, it was the provincial examination. There are not many people who can pass the provincial examination, and then there is the general examination. You can become an official if you pass the general examination, you don’t know how difficult the imperial examination is, there is a man in our hometown, and it took more than ten years for the rural examination alone.”

Liu San went on to say: "Let me tell you, the group of juren saw that you didn't pass the exam, and didn't care that you were born and died for the Qing Dynasty, so they said that you can only lead soldiers to fight and can't hold important positions. They are jealous of you!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that this group of people who signed the letter was probably hinted by Weng Tonghe. It seems that the effect of the song "Qinyuanchun? Snow" back then has passed. Is there any way to reverse it? I’m afraid I won’t be able to write poetry anymore, and I need to find another way.”

Liu San said: "My lord, from your usual conversation, it can be seen that the ink in your stomach is no less than those of the scholars who have raised people. Why don't you also go to this test, and when the time comes, you will be the number one scholar, and the group of eaters will be killed." The mouths of Juren who are full and have nothing to do are blocked!"

Lin Yuan asked: "I haven't passed the provincial examination, am I qualified to take the national examination?"

Liu Sanyi patted his thigh and said: "My lord, why are you so smart that you have been confused all your life? Wouldn't it be enough for the emperor to grant you a juren? You led the army to fight and regained the lost land. Can't you give you a juren?"

Lin Yuan thought he was right, but bigger problems came one after another, what to do with the stereotyped essay?Stereotyped essay is an article with a fixed format. This format stipulates the number of words in each paragraph, the form of sentences, and must quote words from Confucian classics. This is too difficult for Lin Yuan.

The two were chatting, but they didn't realize that the sky was bright. At this moment, they could only hear the sound of gongs and drums outside the door, and the sound of horseshoes. Nearby, there was the eunuch who passed on the matter in the palace. Liu San hurriedly greeted him. Just as he was about to invite him into the house, the eunuch who passed on the matter said with a smile: "Butler Liu, you don't need to be too polite. We still have official duties in our family. We have passed on the order of the Holy Majesty." I have to go and tell Lord Lin that at noon today, there will be a banquet in the Huangji Hall, and the Holy Majesty will welcome Lord Lin."

After finishing speaking, the smoke and dust started to rise, and it was reported that the eunuch had already taken the people away, Liu San hurriedly told Lin Yuan about it, and Lin Yuan said: "Oh, I see, I'll go out for a walk, and when the time comes, I'll go and leave by myself." alright."

At this moment, a delicate voice was heard in the yard: "My lord, you want to go out for a walk, can you take me with you?"

Lin Yuan looked up, and saw Guan'er standing in front of her pretty. She hadn't seen her for a few months. She seemed to be more beautiful. I wondered if it was because of the thin clothes, but her breasts became more plump. Lin Yuan's eyes were on her. Guan'er had already noticed the pause on her chest, her face flushed, she walked up to Lin Yuan, looked at Lin Yuan like a poor little rabbit, for fear that Lin Yuan would not agree.

Lin Yuan couldn't bear to refuse her, so he agreed with a smile. Guan'er was afraid that Lin Yuan would regret it if he was too late, so he took his arm and went outside. Little bird, Lin Yuan asked: "Isn't it just to hang around? As for being so happy?"

Guan'er smiled delicately: "There are two reasons why I'm so happy, one is that I can't usually come out."

Lin Yuan asked, "Why can't you come out?"

Guan'er said: "How can a girl go out casually?" Lin Yuan realized that women in this era are usually not allowed to go out, so Lin Yuan said: "It's okay, you can go out if you want to go out in the future."

Guan'er lowered her head and said nothing, Lin Yuan asked, "What's the second reason?"

Guan'er pursed her lips and smiled, her cheeks flushed, and said softly, "I won't tell you."

Lin Yuan looked at her and thought to himself: "Is it because you are happy because you came out with me?" At this moment, Guan'er suddenly called out: "There is a silk and satin shop here, we will buy some of the best fabrics for you. make clothes."

Both Lin Yuan and Guan'er were wearing ordinary clothes of this era, and they didn't look like they were rich, so the shopkeeper didn't come out behind the counter, and a young guy came forward to say hello: "My lord and madam, we have a lot of good stuff here. , English woolen cloth, oriental satin."

As he spoke, the young man picked up a piece of satin and said with a smile, "Look at the color, feel the surface of the cloth, it's a top-quality oriental product."

Lin Yuan heard something from it, and asked, "Is there no Qing Dynasty?"

The little guy said with a smile: "Yes, there are, but no one buys them, and they are all at the bottom of the box."

At this moment, I saw a man walking in from the door, wearing a bright red satin gown, holding a folding fan with ivory fan in his hand, smiling at the shopkeeper, "Brother Su, I'm here to burn your silk and satin shop!"
