The academy examination is also called the Taoist examination. It is presided over by the great master who supervises Taoism. There are two examinations in total, one main examination and one review examination. Each examination takes one day. Compared with the government examination, the academy examination is relatively easy.

Some.

On the afternoon of the ninth day of August, Xu Jin was dictating "Shooting the Condor" in his room. He was going to take the college examination tomorrow. He had already prepared everything he needed to do, so he should relax and adjust his mind.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and Tang Bohu walked in excitedly. Without any explanation, he pulled Xu Jin and walked out, saying at the same time: "Brother Ziqian, I need your help urgently, please don't refuse."

It is said that Tang Bohu and Xu Jin are very familiar with each other these days, but he no longer regards himself as an outsider.

Xu Jin frowned and reminded: "Brother Ziwei, I have to take the college examination tomorrow."

Tang Bohu said disapprovingly: "It's just a college examination. With Ziqian's writing skills, you will definitely pass as long as you don't make mistakes. What's more, there's no point in cramming for help. If you leave, you won't be delayed for long. I'm sure to come back before dark. I won't

Preventing you from resting."

Xu Jin had no choice but to put down his pen and follow Tang Bohu out of the room, but he still kept an eye on it and asked: "Brother Ziwei, what help do you need from me? If it's to drink wine with you, I won't do it."

It is said that Xu Jin was dragged to a brothel by this old ticket shop two days ago. He also lied to Xu Jin that he was visiting a friend, but the friend turned into a concubine, which made Xu Jin speechless. He finally managed to get rid of several enthusiastic sisters.

The child slipped out.

Tang Bohu said quickly: "This time it is definitely not about drinking flower wine. You will know when we get there. If Brother Ziqian can help me with this, in addition to the ten paintings of ladies, there will be three...five landscape paintings, how about it?"

"Deal!" Xu Jin immediately nodded in agreement. This was an irresistible temptation. Besides, if he still drank flower wine, he would probably turn around and leave.

His brother-in-law, Xie Erjian, happened to go shopping and had not returned yet, so Xu Jin left a message to the shopkeeper in the lobby explaining his whereabouts, and then left the inn with Er Niu and followed Tang Bohu.

Tang Bohu happily took Xu Jin outside a courtyard in the east of the city. He straightened his clothes and went to knock on the door. Soon, a servant opened the door and poked his head out to check.

Tang Bohu cupped his hands and said, "I, Tang Yin, have come as requested."

The servant had obviously been warned, so he quickly opened the door completely and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Tang, please come in!"

Xu Jin followed Tang Bohu into the house and curiously looked at the elegant surroundings. It seemed that Tang Bohu was indeed a visiting friend this time, but he didn't know why he was called.

Tang Bohu and Xu Jin were led by a maid to the back yard. Er Niu, as a follower, naturally could not continue to follow, so he could only stay in the front yard and wait while someone else entertained him.

clank……

As soon as he walked into the backyard, Xu Jin heard the intermittent sound of pipa, and could vaguely hear the tune of the theme song "Linjiang Fairy" from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, the person playing the pipa seemed unfamiliar, or was composing the music.

So the sound is intermittent, and there are many errors.

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and frowned: "Brother Ziwei, could it be that you invited me here to meet the Xiao family?"

A few days ago, Xiao Yuxue sent people to deliver two more invitations, but Xu Jin ignored them, so when she heard the blunt pipa song "Linjiang Immortal", she immediately guessed eight or nine points.

Tang Bohu said apologetically: "Brother Ziqian, I'm not hiding this on purpose. It's actually... Everyone Xiao has invited you several times without success, so you begged me for help."

Xu Jin was very speechless. Grandma, she was fooled by this old ticket customer again. She turned around and walked out. Tang Bohu hurriedly stopped him and said: "Brother Ziqian, we are all here, why not meet the Xiao family? Xiao family

She is a wonderful woman with both talent and beauty. Most people would not be able to see her, so why would Zi Qian refuse to see her? Okay, ten, ten landscape paintings!"

Xu Jin then stood firm and said: "You said, now you owe me ten pictures of ladies and ten paintings of landscapes!"

Tang Bohu couldn't help but have black lines all over his head. He really couldn't understand Xu Jin. A beauty like Xiao Xiao was not tempted to invite him, but he was so interested in his own paintings. Could it be because he was young and hadn't figured it out yet?

Xu Jin and Tang Bohu walked to a side room in the backyard and saw Xiao Yuxue walking out gracefully supported by a maid.

Everyone Xiao is wearing a pink skirt today, with a high bun. She has obviously been carefully dressed up, and her skin looks like cream, her eyebrows are like a distant mountain with daisy flowers, her lips are like two fresh peach blossoms, and she has a slim waist.

In a thin bunch, a warm and emerald green jade pendant hangs under the beautiful pink neck, which is particularly eye-catching.

When Tang Bohu saw Xiao Yuxue, he was obviously lost in thought. He raised his hands in a graceful manner and saluted: "Xiaosheng has met everyone Xiao!"

"Young Master Tang!" Xiao Yuxue looked at Tang Bohu with a smile, her eyes immediately moved to Xu Jin, and she said resentfully: "That day at Tengwang Pavilion, did Yuxue offend Young Master Xu in some way?"

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Why did Mr. Xiao say this?"

"I have sent invitations for several days, but Mr. Xu has not accepted the invitation. Yuxue has not thought about food and tea these days, and has not slept at night. She thought she had offended Mr. Xu in some way!" Xiao Yuxue said quietly.

The beautiful woman is full of resentment and coquettishness. If Xu Jin is really just a fifteen-year-old boy, he may not be able to control it anymore. Unfortunately, Xu Jin is actually an old man who has been in the business world for many years.

He was confused by the few words he said, and he smiled calmly and said: "Everyone Xiao has misunderstood. It is true that the college examination is just around the corner and I have no time to spare. Xu Jin would like to apologize to everyone here Xiao."

Xiao Yuxue was secretly surprised. She was still very confident about her Kui Li, but the teenage boy in front of her was unmoved. She couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration in her heart again. Could it be that her Kui Li had really dropped that much?

However, when Xiao Yuxue saw Tang Bohu's expression next to her, she immediately regained her confidence and said with a sweet smile: "There's no need to apologize. I'm not that stingy, but I still have to punish Mr. Xu with a few drinks later. You two gentlemen

Please come in with me, wine and food have been prepared."

After Xiao Yuxue finished speaking, she picked up her skirt and turned around to walk into the house, swaying her slender waist lightly with a graceful and sultry posture. The eyes of Tang Bohu, an old ticket customer, were a little wandering. He shook his head and chanted: "When you are quiet, you are like a delicate flower shining on the water.

Where you move is like a thin willow facing the wind, how beautiful it is!"

Xiao Yuxue turned back and covered her mouth with a sweet smile: "Yuxue is not worthy of Mr. Tang's praise."

Tang Bohu said without changing his expression: "Looking back and smiling at Baisheng, Xiaosheng is so beautiful that Xiaosheng is willing to prostrate himself under the pomegranate skirt!"

Xu Jin couldn't help but was speechless. He was indeed an old ticket holder, and his face was thicker than ordinary people's. No wonder he was able to get along like a fish in water in Yanhualiu Alley.

"Young Master Tang is still as good at talking as he was back then!" Xiao Yuxue blushed and gave a look, then turned around and continued walking.

The three of them entered the house. Food and wine had been placed in the hall, and the guests and hosts were seated separately.

At this time, the intermittent sound of pipa came from the yard next door. Xiao Yuxue frowned imperceptibly, beckoned the maid over, whispered a few words into her ear, and the latter nodded and left.

With delicate hands, Xiao Yuxue picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Xu Jin and Tang Bohu each. She smiled sweetly and said: "Mr. Tang, Yuxue has sent three invitations in the past few days but failed to invite Mr. Xu. Do you think he should be punished?"

Three cups?”

Tang Bohu nodded and said: "It's a punishment. Come on, brother Ziqian, drink this drink." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it first.

Xu Jin had no choice but to drink three glasses in a row. Fortunately, the alcohol content in ancient times was not high, so he would not get drunk.

Xiao Yuxue drank two glasses of wine, and her pretty face was covered with two groups of intoxicating blush, making her look even more delicate. She lightly opened her red lips and sang a cappella: "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes..."

What Xiao Yuxue sang was exactly "Linjiang Fairy" that Xu Jin sang in Tengwang Pavilion that day, but her singing style was a bit similar to Kunqu opera, with a clicking sound, coupled with a delicate squeaking sound [51 novel www

However, the original low, majestic, and vicissitudes of music completely changed its flavor and lost its shocking power.

After Xiao Yuxue sang a song, Tang Bohu spared no effort in complimenting her. Xiao Yuxue glanced at Xu Jin longingly and said: "Yuxue didn't sing well, but it made Mr. Xu laugh. I listened to Mr. Xu in Tengwang Pavilion that day.

I sang it once and was really amazed. It’s a pity that Yuxue is too stupid to remember the music score completely. Let’s see if Mr. Xu can record the music score. Yuxue would be very grateful!”

Xu Jin smiled and said: "This... let's forget it!"

Xiao Yuxue was immediately stunned. She begged softly, not to mention that if this poem was sung in brothels in the future, it would be of great help to Xu Jin's reputation. Unexpectedly, the guy still refused.

Xiao Yuxue's face froze, and she had the urge to go crazy. She looked at Tang Bohu for help. She tried every means to invite Xu Jin to come. Firstly, she wanted to complete the task given to her by Prince Ning. Secondly, she also wanted to get "Linjiang Immortal".

"'s music score. Because as long as she has this song "Linjiang Fairy", Xiao Yuxue is confident that she will become popular again.

Of course, Xiao Yuxue could compose the music by herself, but she didn't want to bother with it. She had the natural advantage of being a woman, so why not use it? She could just ask Xu Jin for it directly. Only a stupid girl like Wang Cuiqiao would be stupid enough to compose music by herself.

I've been composing it for several days, but it still hasn't come out yet. How hard it is!

Tang Bohu coughed slightly and said: "Brother Ziqian, it's not good to cherish your broom. What's more, if this song "Linjiang Immortal" is sung by the Xiao family, it will definitely greatly enhance your reputation!"

Xu Jin secretly rolled his eyes. He was so precious to himself. Let alone recording music scores, he couldn't even recognize all the time scales. What's more, the ancient notation method was definitely different from that of later generations. Even if he found a professor from the Central Conservatory of Music to do it,
