Chapter 11 Autumn, Scholar Lin Lu(1/2)
Liu Yexi had gone to take care of things two days ago, so Mu Yuyan was certainly not worried.
But it's always good for Gu Lan to study at home. He won't cause trouble outside, and he can protect him personally.
Hey, this looks like the book "The School Beauty's Personal Expert" that Xianggong talked about a few days ago, but it's just a flipped version...
Mu Yuyan looks calm on the surface, but in fact her thoughts are lively.
"Don't worry, sir, I won't be overtired by the imperial examination."
Gu Lan nodded and smiled, with black hair running across his fingertips: "I said before that studying is not for becoming an official. Have you forgotten it?"
"My husband has good ambitions, which is a good thing."
Of course, Mu Yuyan didn't know why he didn't become an official. Just thinking of that eternal motto, his heartstrings were touched and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Let's wait until tomorrow to absorb the shark beads...
Gu Lan's heart was about to move, and he couldn't help but lower his head, nod his lips, and look deeply into her eyes.
Mu Yuyan's whole body went limp.
"Lady..."
"Um?"
"The moonlight tonight...is so beautiful."
...
More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
After Wu Feng escaped danger that day, he bought a good horse and galloped to the capital.
He carries a blood feud on his body, and even if he is saved once, he does not dare to stay too long!
Because he heard that the empress of the court ignored the government affairs, Wu Feng was afraid that she would not send troops because of him alone, so he planned to go directly to beat the Dengwen drum and announce to the world the heinous crimes of the Shadow Carved Stone Huajian Sect in front of the imperial city gate!
He wanted to use such an extreme method to get the court to avenge his father!
However, what he didn't expect was!
On the night he checked in, Sima Qin, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty, came to see him. Holding the imperial edict of the empress in hand, he was conferred the title of Yunzhou Mu, and he returned home to inherit his father's legacy!
Wu Feng was stunned!
Immediately after hearing that the empress had executed Duan Pei and that his father had granted him the title of Marquis Ningyun, he cried bitterly on the spot and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times in the direction of the palace!
"Your Majesty's holy grace, the Wu family will definitely repay it with a knot of grass and a ring!"
After he returned to Yunzhou, the people in the capital heard about this and talked about it in public:
"Your Majesty's clear understanding of the situation has redressed the injustice of the Wu family and added another family of loyal ministers to Dajing!"
"In the future, there should be a lot of demons expelled from Yunzhou, so there is no need to worry anymore!"
"..."
This became a beautiful story.
Subtly, both the common people and officials' impressions of the empress were gradually changing.
...
Langzhou Long Street, ten miles of spring breeze.
Today is the registration day for Qiu Wei.
When Gu Lan came to the Yamen, he saw a long queue in the distance. In front of him was a Yamen servant recording the roster.
"The only bad thing about time traveling is that there is no online registration!"
Gu Lan whispered and walked to the back of the team.
Of course, he will definitely not wait in line stupidly.
Although the sun is not shining at this time, standing for a long time will inevitably cause back pain.
The scholars who were queuing up now were all a little impatient and kept beating their waists and legs, looking uncomfortable.
Gu Lan bypassed the queue and went straight to a stall to sit down, ordered a herbal tea, and waited quietly for the crowd to dwindle.
At this time.
Gu Lan suddenly discovered that there was a very magical guy at the end of the team.
He was a scholar, wearing a blue turban and a simple white gown. He looked very delicate.
The reason why he is amazing is because he is always giving up his position!
He was already the last one, but as long as other people came to sign up, he would ask people to stand in front of him.
After queuing for a long time, I am still the last one!
Others are rushing forward, fearing that they won't be able to sign up before dark and the queue will be empty all day long, but he is just the opposite?
"This guy is interesting."
Gu Lan smiled slightly.
As the sun went down, there were fewer and fewer people walking on the long street. Gu Lan put a broken piece of silver on the table and walked calmly towards the registration team.
The scholar is still in the last position at this time.
Seeing Gu Lan coming over, although he was a little tired, he still smiled and made a gesture of invitation and said: "Brother, just stand in front of me, I'm not in a hurry."
Don't worry, you came so early and gave way one by one... Gu Lan wanted to laugh in his heart and bowed: "Thank you, brother. I wonder what your last name is?"
"My surname is Lin, and my given name only has the character deer."
The scholar responded politely.
Lin Lu...
Gu Lan nodded and checked the names of important characters in the original work. When he found that he was not there, he said with peace of mind: "Gu Lan, nice to meet you!"
"My brother's surname is Gu, but who is from Gu's Teahouse?" Lin Lu suddenly asked.
"That teahouse was opened down here."
It was not surprising that Gu Lan was recognized. Because he had moved far away, his family was the only one with the surname Gu in the city.
"Ah! Thank you so much, Brother Gu!"
Lin Lu suddenly clasped his fists, his eyes full of gratitude: "Years ago, my sister planted two acres of tea, but after harvesting, no tea dealer wanted it. In the end, your tea house bought it, which solved my family's urgent need!"
Gu Lan was somewhat impressed by this incident.
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month last year, it was my wife who made this deal. She didn't make any money, she just thought of it as a good relationship with a pair of siblings.
"It's a small matter, Brother Lin, you're welcome."
Feeling familiar again and again, Gu Lan asked: "I just saw that Brother Lin has been giving up his position to others who come after him, but he has been slow to sign up. I don't know why?"
Lin Lu was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Actually, the main reason is that I don't want to take the exam...I came here to register to deal with my family..."
Hey, there are people like me... Gu Lan's eyes lit up.
But it’s because I don’t want to go to the capital, why do you?
"Brother Lin didn't review?"
"Ahem, of course not!" Lin Lu choked and explained: "It's just that I don't have this ambition, and I don't want to spend this unjust money."
You have to pay money to take the imperial examination, and if you pass the exam and enter the Imperial College, you will need more money.
Lin Lu didn't want his sister to be so tired and have to work so hard to grow tea for herself to study.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Gu Lan asked curiously.
"To be honest with Brother Gu, I actually want to go to the battlefield!" Lin Lu's eyes were high-spirited, adding a bit of heroism to his delicate face: "There is not only food and salary available there, but also the opportunity to become an immortal cultivator, which is much better than scratching the pen.
!”
"..."
Gu Lan looked at his figure speechlessly, feeling that this guy didn't seem to have a clear understanding of himself.
There are indeed opportunities on the battlefield, but I'm afraid you will already have them before you become a monk!
"Your sister doesn't want you to go, does she?"
"Well, she's worried about me."
Lin Lu answered honestly: "I am the only male in the family. She really can't live without me, but she doesn't know that a family like ours can't afford to raise a high official..."
After hearing what he said, Gu Lan was deeply touched.
Money, indeed, is something that can determine destiny in any world.
"Perhaps, your sister is not..."
Gu Lan was silent for a long time and was about to speak to persuade him.
To be continued...
