Chapter 236: Owen Continent(1/2)
Although Lin Ruo's appearance is said to be first-class, in Xiao He's opinion, the outside world still praises Lin Ruo's appearance a bit too much.
He did know that Lin Ruo's status was unusual. He was the granddaughter of the Imperial Grand Master and the granddaughter of His Majesty.
This is a girl with an extremely rich background.
Lin Ruo came to look for Chen Yueru just to meet her master through Chen Yueru.
This put Chen Yueru in a bit of a dilemma. Her master, Shenlong, was nowhere to be seen, and even she might not be able to contact him.
However, this master has always had a habit. When the world competition comes, he will definitely come to Yunjing.
But this can't solve Lin Ruo's urgent need...
Lin Ruo wanted to learn Kung Fu from Chen Yueru's master. If she waited until the world competition, wouldn't it be too late?
The meeting gift she brought to Chen Yueru was not the sesame seed cakes bought at Mincheng Gate, but foundation, a specialty of Yongzhou Prefecture.
I heard that Chen Yueru valued her appearance very much, so Lin Ruo brought expensive foundation.
However, the gifts were given out, but no benefits were obtained, which made Lin Ruo feel a little helpless.
"Actually, you don't necessarily have to find a master. You can consider trying your luck at the Sutra Pavilion."
"Since the technique you are currently practicing is not very suitable for you, you can go to the Sutra Pavilion to find a technique that is truly suitable for you."
"Anyway, the castle tower has recently been restructured. Ask the two great bachelors at the castle tower if they can make some accommodations for you and go to the forbidden book floor to take a look at the techniques and so on."
This is really a bit fanciful...
Chen Yueru actually suggested that Lin Ruo go to the Forbidden Book Floor to search for skills. This was an opportunity only available to a bachelor. How could she, Lin Ruo, have the opportunity to enter the Forbidden Book Floor of the Sutra Pavilion in the Citadel?
"Actually, it's not impossible. Wasn't Da Kui's reward for reaching the stars the first time he entered the Sutra Pavilion?"
Xiao He said, in the end, it was Yang Ming who won the crown.
"Of course you are coming to Yunjing this time to take the exam. If you can really get a good ranking, you should be allowed to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion."
"After all, it's the year of the imperial examination. If you really get the rank in the palace examination, it shouldn't be difficult to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion."
Lin Ruo thought about what Xiao He said. Indeed, if she could get a ranking in the palace examination, her chances of entering the Sutra Pavilion would naturally be greater.
However... the imperial examination will not be held until June, so will he have to study in Yunjing for the past few months?
Although Uncle Lu went to sea directly and has not come back yet, she is unable to do anything on her own to investigate the affairs of King Yandong Chu.
If you really spend these few months studying to gain fame, it won't be a bad idea.
"Actually, there is another way to block Master."
Chen Yueru said, Lin Ruo listened attentively.
"Master seems to like Zuo Gongquan's food from Yongzhou Prefecture in Beiqian very much. If you stay at Zuo Gongquan's place for a while, you should be able to eat there with Master."
this……
Lin Ruoke had just come from Yongzhou Mansion. If he was asked to return to Yongzhou Mansion, it would be a bit of a hassle.
Moreover, if Lin Ruo is really preparing for the imperial examination, it would be best for Lin Ruo to live in Yunjing from now on.
"I think it's more reliable to prepare for the imperial examination."
"I think so too, Sister Lin, we had a pretty good chat, and I suddenly decided."
Chen Yueru directly took Lin Ruo's hand and said:
"I decided not to travel and stay in Yunjing to accompany Sister Lin to take the imperial examination."
As soon as he said this, Xiao He suddenly felt very embarrassed.
Chen Yueruo really remembered that it was the first time he came out! Just now he said that he wanted to travel around the world to accumulate experience, and now he actually wants to stay in Yunjing to accompany Lin Ruo to take the imperial examination.
This woman's heart is really like a needle on the sea floor, it's impossible to figure it out!
How did Xiao He know that she was so fickle, and he thought he could enjoy two more days of peace in Yunjing.
After hoping for the stars and hoping for the moon, Chen Yueru was finally going to travel, but when Lin Ruo came, Chen Yueru stopped leaving!
This really caught Xiao He off guard.
"Xiao He! What do you mean by that expression? Are you troubled that I am in Yunjing?"
"I didn't...Besides, do you think I dare to be distressed?"
"That's pretty much it. That's it. From today on, you will be my and sister Lin's study companion."
"Until we finish the imperial examination, you have to fulfill your duties and read with us!"
At this point, Xiao He suddenly felt a headache.
Reading with Chen Yueru is not a mental job, but a physical job!
This eldest lady remembers that the place and time of reading are not fixed at all.
Maybe in the tavern, you suddenly want to read a book, so you have to carry the book for him and wait for him, and you have to expel other people in the tavern.
Or maybe you want to read a book in the middle of the night when you can't sleep, so you have to get up and accompany me honestly!
When Miss Chen was studying, she managed to get rid of more than a dozen bookboys, and now she actually wants to harm Xiao He again!
"How about Xiao He, can you be my study companion?"
"Hmph, I'm afraid you'll be so beautiful!"
After Xiao He finished speaking, he waved his hand directly to Chen Yueru. This made Xiao He a bookboy at her disposal, and there was no way for him to do so!
"Then... how about we take the imperial examination together?"
Seeing that there was no way to pull Xiao He onto the pirate ship, Chen Yueru came up with another plan.
This made Xiao He feel very embarrassed. He had no interest in the imperial examination at all.
What's going on with Chen Yueru? Why do you have to drag him onto this pirate ship?
Could it be that she feels lonely by herself?
No way, this woman has been single for so many years and she never feels lonely.
Is it possible that Xiao He's temperament changed drastically after eating a few meals with her?
That's quite strange.
"I don't care, anyway, you have to accompany Sister Lin and I to take the exam!"
Seeing the hesitant Xiao He, Chen Yueru directly launched a brutal offensive. No matter what, I just want you, Xiao He, to read with you. If you are not willing, I will stay with you and not leave.
Lin Ruo looked at the two people's lively expressions and felt that they were very similar to the conversation between Yang Ming and Hu Yue.
Speaking of which, I still don’t know when Yang Ming and Hu Yue will come back.
The tenth day of February is Hu Yue's birthday. If I don't celebrate this little girl's birthday this year, she might be very unhappy.
I can only make up for her later.
"Okay, okay, I lost to you, let's take the imperial examination together, the three of us."
"Hehe! Our strongest trio will definitely be able to take down the top three in the palace exam!"
I really don’t know where Chen Yueru’s confidence comes from.
Although they are indeed very smart, this palace examination has gathered the most powerful scholars in the Cloud Empire.
For one of the three of them to reach this top three position, it is already a great thing.
With three people taking the top three spots, do you really think that all the scholars in the Cloud Empire are idiots?
…
Facing the upcoming imperial examination, there is also a huge sensation in Yongzhou Prefecture.
The township examination in Yongzhou Prefecture is about to begin. Those who have good scores in the township examination will go to Yunjing for qualification review and then participate in the Yunjing hall examination.
The provincial examination in Yongzhou Prefecture is mainly aimed at those who currently do not have the qualifications for the hall examination. The descendants of Lin Ruo, a scholarly family, are qualified to directly participate in the hall examination.
The provincial examination mainly faces ordinary people and children of emerging aristocratic families.
The children of aristocratic families who pass the provincial examination are equivalent to leaping over the dragon's gate, and the entire family can become a scholarly family.
In this way, if their future descendants take part in the imperial examination, they will also be eligible to directly participate in the Yunjing Hall Examination!
Today's provincial examination was presided over by Prefect Lin Feng and Mr. Jiang Gandao.
After all, Lin Xiao didn't like to join in the fun, so he directly recommended Mr. Jiang Gandao, the accountant at Songhe Tower.
Mr. Jiang is very knowledgeable, and the test questions he asked are very representative.
At this time, in Yongzhou Mansion, the third prince went to the Western Desert to take over the management of the Qianlong Club in the Western Desert, and to say hello to the general of the Western Desert.
After all, if he wants to take over the Qianlong Club, he still needs to greet the senior brother of Zhongzhou Mu.
Although Qianlonghui, as the secret organization of Zhongzhou Mu, has always been in a relatively loose state, this organization does play a very important role in the darkness of some cities.
Everything has two sides: light and shadow. Where the light is stronger, there is a stronger shadow.
Qianlonghui is the huge shadow under the flying dragon.
Liu Ruyu re-develops Liuer. After the third prince leaves, he will naturally take care of the Qianlong Club in Yongzhou Prefecture. Yongzhou Prefecture is very clean now.
However, smooth development still requires relatively large amounts of capital, and Shopkeeper Liu must run it well.
During the period of studying with Mr. Zuo, Shopkeeper Liu learned some ways of merchants, and he also wanted to apply these newly learned things to the daily management of Qianlong Club.
In this way, the Qianlong Club's funds will be more abundant, thus helping the third prince to do more things.
At this time, Zuo Gong himself was the only one left in Songhe Tower.
Zuo Gong stood on the railing and looked northwest. He had developed such a strange habit many years ago.
Maybe it was when his son died on the battlefield wrapped in horse leather, or maybe it was after he stopped introducing new dishes.
