Literati are also human beings, and even the mouth of a literati is more lethal, comparable to a poisonous steel knife.

Shangguan Ruoli felt that before the palace examination, she could hide as much as possible and not cause any trouble. It was up to her to come forward, and she didn't care if she would end up with the reputation of a tigress at worst.

Mrs. Qian pulled out her hand that was holding up the car curtain, pushed her aside, opened the car curtain, stuck her head out, and wailed with a painful face: "Hey, my mother's legs hurt so much."

, Go home quickly, go home quickly, it hurts me to death!"

Dongming Ziyu immediately walked down the steps, clasped his fists in a salute, and said with his clasped fists: "I'm sorry, Jia Ci got an injury on her leg when she was playing. I have to send her back to serve her with the medicine."

Mrs. Qian waved to the upstairs with a grimace, and said in Mandarin with the flavor of Northeast China and Jiangnan: "Well, you are so enthusiastic about lifting people. When my legs are healed, you guys can come and play! Hey!

"It hurts, it hurts, son, go home and take some painkillers."

Filial piety is greater than heaven. If someone's mother is injured, it is unjustifiable for them to take their son to drink and have fun.

Ling Yue beat Mrs. Qian's legs and said with a smile: "The breasts are still amazing!"

Wulang squeezed Mrs. Qian's shoulders and said, "As soon as I take action, all those people who hold the exam will shut up obediently!"

Mrs. Qian's eyebrows were curved by their flattery, "Have you put honey on your little mouths? It's so sweet that my legs don't hurt anymore."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "They are telling the truth. My mother is indeed smart. No wonder she gave birth to a man as smart as Father Wulang."

Mrs. Qian loved hearing this most. Praising Dongming Ziyu made her happier than praising her. Her eyebrows curled up in a smile, "That's true. Although I can't read poetry, I know how to live a good life!"

After returning home and resting for seven days, Old Mrs. Qian and Old Man Dong finally recovered. They said they were exhausted. They remembered that they were hungry, drank two mouthfuls of water a day, walked for two days in a row without taking a break, and didn't even

Tiring.

Dongming Ziyu received a few more posts, picked up people who knew the basics and participated twice, and then went to Su Daru with two pots of orchids and written test papers, where he often played chess with Master Zhikong for a whole day.

.

In the blink of an eye, the full moon of Xiao Dalang came, and everyone celebrated for a day. In the blink of an eye, it was late March, and the day for the announcement of the results came. Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli took a carriage to watch before dawn.

Unexpectedly, they arrived late. There were already many carriages, sedans and people in front of them. Some were luxurious carriages, and there were many guards and servants beside the sedans.

Dalang said: "Let's pull the carriage over and I'll squeeze in front and wait."

Mint also said: "The smaller one is smaller and can drill faster. The smaller one can get rid of it."

After parking the carriage, Dalang took Mint and squeezed in front.

Shangguan Ruoli shook Dongming Ziyu's hand, "Are you nervous? Should I look forward to the next chapter?"

Dongming Ziyu raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "Okay. I said I'd wait at home, but you have to come and see it in person. You're even more nervous than me."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "It's rare for you to take part in a scientific examination, so you have to experience it all. The feeling at home and on site will definitely be different."

Dongming Ziyu chuckled and said: "That's true, actually I am also a little nervous. The ranking is determined by many factors. If the examiner doesn't like it, the ranking will be lowered. Since I have taken the exam, I naturally hope to get the third place.

One."

Shangguan Ruoli consoled him: "The ranking is not important. We are not here to win three yuan in a row. We want to gain fame and protect our family in this life."

Dongming Ziyu felt slightly ashamed and held her hand back, "Thanks to you for reminding me, I almost forgot my original intention."

In Gu Lingyun's carriage, he and the young man Changfeng were extremely nervous.

Changfeng poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "Sir, don't be nervous. Have a cup of tea and take it easy."

Gu Lingyun held the tea cup and said harshly: "Who is nervous? I am not nervous!"

He became seriously ill in the third session and finally managed to persevere. At that time, his mind was so groggy that he couldn't even figure out what he had written. It was impossible to do well in the exam, so just don't be embarrassed by failing.

Soon, it dawned, and the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, but the atmosphere became even more tense, and every minute and every second was torture.

"Dang Dang Dang..." The gong sounded.

Someone said: "The list is released!"

Dongming Ziyu held Shangguan Ruoli's hand and said, "Now that I'm here, I'll go down and take a look. You wait in the car."

Shangguan Ruoli said regretfully: "I really want to go with you and witness this glory with you."

It was a pity that there were too many people. It was a sea of ​​people. It was not convenient for her as a woman to squeeze in with those men, so she had to wait in the carriage.

The main force of the crowd was the able-bodied servants, and some candidates were pushed forward by guards.

Dongming Ziyu and Gu Lingyun met, and were escorted by the guards of the Gu family and pushed down the list. Before they could get to the front, someone shouted: "Huiyuan is Dong Blessed! Dong Blessed is Liulin County!"

"

"Oh my god, Dong Youfu is actually in first place again. He won five yuan in a row!"

There is no doubt that there are people with the same names. There are not many people with such... down-to-earth names.

Dalang jumped excitedly in front and shouted in the direction of Dongming Ziyu: "Uncle! Fourth uncle! You are Huiyuan! Hahaha! Member! First place!"

Mint also shouted in a low voice: "My master is Huiyuan! Won five yuan in a row!"

Gu Lingyun smiled and congratulated Dongming Ziyu, "Fourth uncle, congratulations!"

The corners of Dongming Ziyu's lips were slightly raised, and he was very calm and composed, but his eyes were full of energy and high spirits, which was very dazzling.

He stretched out his hand to protect Gu Lingyun and walked forward, "Let's go and see your ranking."

Gu Lingyun immediately wilted. He was disappointed in this ranking, but there was still a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly, Changfeng's voice came: "Sir, you won! You won! The 300th place!"

Gu Lingyun: "..."

After being stunned for a moment, he burst out laughing. He took Dongming Ziyu's hand and jumped up like a child. He laughed while jumping: "Hahaha, what kind of good luck am I! Three hundred! First from the bottom!"

Hahaha……"

He was smiling so hard that his little voice could tell.

Dongming Ziyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Speaking of it, he was indeed quite lucky.

Everyone who knew Dongming Ziyu and Gu Lingyun came to congratulate them. Those who didn't win were withered heads and brains, and those who won shared their joy with them.

"Brother Dong, congratulations!" Zhou Xuanyi squeezed back from the crowd and congratulated Dongming Ziyu with clasped fists with joy on his face.

Dongming Ziyu also clasped his fists and said, "I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I think Brother Zhou Xian is also in high school."

Zhou Xuanyi smiled and said: "I'm really ashamed, I am the second best."

Dongming Ziyu said humbly: "Brother Zhou Xian has given in. You are so young and promising, Dong Mou admires you."

Zhou Xuanyi is twenty-six or seven years old. He is three or four years younger than Dongming Ziyu. He is also a talented person. He is considered young and handsome among the tributes. He is the second best. If the emperor looks at him, or the prime minister looks at him,

In order to save face, it is not impossible to get the top prize in the palace examination.

Therefore, Dongming Ziyu did not look down upon him. And his smile was full of scrutiny and criticality, and it was obvious that he was not convinced by Dongming Ziyu.

"Dong Huiyuan, Brother Zhou Xian, congratulations!" A man in his forties came to congratulate him, with a smile on his face. He was obviously on the list.
