Prosperous Concubine

Chapter 489: Making Tricks (1)
Lin Mo looked at him indifferently: "What's the matter, brother?"

Mu Yuncheng smiled gently and politely: "We are reciting a poem with the theme of the mountain. My brother is handsome and has an extraordinary appearance. He must be talented and knowledgeable. I wonder if I can teach you a poem?"

The man in front of him has a tired complexion and haggard eyes, and his mind must be tired and tired. Even if he is talented, the impromptu poems will not be too good, so he let the man make a fool of himself in front of everyone, to see if he dares to look down on him he!

"Lin Mo has just arrived in the capital, and the housing has not been arranged yet, so I won't make a fool of myself, everyone!" Lin Mo said politely, and got up to leave, but Mu Yuncheng stopped him again, smiling a little maliciously: " It’s just a poem, you can make it in just a few breaths, so why bother to refuse!”

"Yeah, yeah, you don't have to be humble, brother, just do it impromptu!" The students didn't notice the secret fight between Mu Yuncheng and Lin Mo, thinking it was just an ordinary invitation, one by one followed suit.

Lin Mo looked at the arm lying in front of him, knowing that he would not be able to enter the guest room if he did not compose poems, so he fixed his gaze and said in a low voice, "If you don't do well, please don't laugh at me."

"No laughing, no laughing, we are all students taking exams, impromptu, to show our state of mind!" Mu Yuncheng smiled inscrutablely, if a man dared to look down on him, he would have to bear the price of mocking him.

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "The sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea. If you want to see a thousand miles, go to a higher level!"

The hall fell silent instantly, and the students looked at Lin Mo in shock, and it took a long time before they realized: "Okay!"

I don't know who praised it, and everyone came back to their senses in an instant, and the praises kept coming one after another. Lin Mo's eyes were full of admiration: "The artistic conception is beautiful, and it is progressive, it is really a wonderful poem!"

"That's right, that's right, it's a little bit better than Brother Mu's poem..."

Mu Yuncheng listened to the undisguised comparison of the students, his face was gloomy and terrible, and he looked at Lin Mo coldly: "Is Xiongtai's poem improvised?" His poem was written after four or five days of thinking, the man His poetic ability overwhelms him, and he is definitely not doing it now. It is estimated that he has already done it long ago and used it as a supplement.

"Of course." Lin Mo's eyes were stern, seeing his suspicious face, he said coldly: "Could it be that brother suspects you're cheating?"

"No, brother, don't think too much!" Mu Yuncheng laughed, his eyes and expression were filled with suspicion.

Lin Mo put down the rattan box and whispered proudly: "The bright moon rises from the Tianshan Mountains, amidst the vast sea of ​​clouds. The wind blows for tens of thousands of miles and blows across the Yumen Pass. The Han Dynasty went down to Baideng Road, and Hu peeped at Qinghai Bay. The origin of the battle, no one returned. The guards looked at the side Yap, how sad it is to think about returning home. The tall building is like this night, and there is no time to sigh."

"There are no people in the empty mountain, but you can hear people's voices, and you will return to the deep forest and shine on the moss."

The poems chanting the mountain resounded in the ears, and everyone who listened was full of admiration and praised repeatedly. The topic of chanting the mountain was proposed by Mr. Mu. This young master did not know it, so naturally he would not have prepared so many poems and improvised so many lines A poem, his talent is really high...

Mu Yuncheng gritted his teeth secretly, what's so great about being talented, getting a good rank in the exam, Guangzong Yaozu is the most important thing!

Mu Yutang looked at Mu Yuncheng with a dark complexion, and Lin Mo who went upstairs proudly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Mu Yuncheng's talent is good, but compared with Lin Mo, it's still a little bit worse. If you rush forward to challenge yourself, you will naturally be compared to others..."

Xiao Qingyu pondered for a moment, then looked at Mu Yutang, with a little glint in his pupils: "Yutang, do you know who the chief examiner for this year's imperial examination is?"

"Who is it?" The three-year imperial examination is a major event in the imperial court, and the emperor will personally appoint the invigilators and examiners, all of whom are well-educated officials.

Xiao Qingyu's eyes were deep, and he said a few words lightly: "Prince Xiao Tianjun!"

Mu Yutang was taken aback. The chief examiner of the imperial examination supervised students from all over the country. He had a lot of contact with the students and formed a deep friendship with each other. After the students entered the court, they almost all walked closer to the chief examiner. , In order to prevent the princes from wantonly recruiting talents and causing chaos in the court, the emperor never let the prince be the chief examiner. This year, he actually allowed the prince to be the chief examiner. Does it mean that the emperor is going to cultivate the prince?

The imperial examinations are very strict. Every student must carefully compare the submitted materials, and then check carefully to make sure that they are not carrying any cheating tools before they can enter the Gongyuan.

At Maoshi, Mu Yuncheng came to the front of the tribute courtyard in the early morning light, his shrewd eyes swept across the long lines, and he stood leisurely behind the relatively short line.

There were nearly a hundred students in front of him, and it was not his turn in a while. He looked around boredly, and saw a familiar face in the line next to him, and his dark eyes froze: Lin Mo, 19 years old , a native of Changtong County in the south of the Yangtze River, ranked among the best in the county examination, government examination, college examination, and township examination. He is really educated and talented.

In the past few days at the Yunlai Inn, he has also seen Lin Mo's talent and learning one after another. He speaks well, is full of knowledge, and is knowledgeable about the past and the present.

He is the aristocratic Duke Mu, how could he lose to a humble student from a poor family!The corners of Mu Yuncheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he curved into an unfathomable smile!
The team moved forward slowly, and it was Lin Mo's turn to enter the tribute courtyard. He handed the pen, ink, and stone inkstone he carried with him to the guards for inspection!
Mu Yuncheng glanced at him, "kindly" reminded: "Brother Lin, your things fell out."

The students waiting in line were bored. Hearing what he said, they all looked over and saw a small half of white paper protruding from Lin Mo's sandal-colored sleeve, like a small flag, fluttering, fluttering, fluttering in the morning wind With the wind.

The students looked at each other, looked at each other, and looked at Lin Mo's eyes with some contempt. They were standing in front of the Gong Yuan, preparing to take the triennial imperial examination. The purpose of him bringing the note into the examination room is self-evident...

Mr. Ma, who was in charge of the invigilation, turned gloomy for a moment. He dared to bring a note to cheat in the Tribute Court Examination, which is really audacious.

Lin Mo generously took out the note, pinched it in his hand, met his sullen eyes, and bowed respectfully: "Return to my lord, this is not a cheating note, but a pawn ticket for Xiaosheng, please take a look at it! "

Pawn!Master Ma was taken aback, took a look at the small note, and wrote, "Su Ji's pawn shop, pawning a stone inkstone, with ten liang of silver inscribed!" 'The date of signing is stamped with Su Ji's seal, it is indeed a pawn ticket!
Looking at Lin Mo again, the coat is half-new and half-old, and the pen and inkstone are a little worn out. Obviously, it has been used for a long time. He is a real poor student, and it is not surprising to go to the pawnshop to exchange money for the exam.

The students looked at his gradually softening expression, knowing that Lin Mo's words were true, and sighed softly in their hearts, it turned out to be a misunderstanding!

Mu Yuncheng's handsome face was slightly gloomy, and Lin Mo's sleeve should be a cheating note full of poems, how could it become a pawn ticket?Even if it is a pawn ticket, he still has to achieve his goal: "Lord Ma, I remember that the examination order promulgated by the emperor expressly stipulates that no foreign objects with words on them are allowed to be brought into the Tribute Court. Anyone who violates the regulations will be kicked out of the examination room." , when there are words on the ticket, it is also a violation of the examination order, right?"
