Yu Fan left the official department and saw a restaurant, he smiled and said: "Finally caught up, let's go up and have a meal."
Mr. Kou said: "My lord, I am really hungry after driving all the way. I am going to have a big meal."
The two people walked up the stairs while talking, and the waiter inside came up to them: "You two, please come inside."
Yu Fan said: "But it's quieter. Are there any seats upstairs?"
The waiter took a quick look and saw that he was a candidate for examination. He smiled and said, "Please come in, there are private seats."
Yu Fan smiled and climbed up the stairs with Mr. Kou. He saw that there were six private rooms on the third floor. The floor was spotless. There were also desks with pens, inks, paper and inkstones. There was also a wooden plaque on the wall dedicated to writing poems. Yu Fan
He smiled and said, "Very good."
"Excuse me, sir, what kind of food and wine are you using?"
"Three meats, three vegetables, and one soup." Yu Fan sat down and said, "For the signature dishes, I'll serve the Bing Ye Gong Liquor for wine. A pound of it will be enough."
"Yes." The waiter retreated. Yu Fan was sitting when he heard someone speaking.
"The news of the battle at Shagang has spread. General Zhuang Hai led his army to rescue, but fell into a trap and was defeated. Most of the 20,000 troops were lost. However, after the enemy's victory, they no longer besieged Shagang.
Post, retreat."
Then a somewhat familiar voice said: "The man trapped in the sand hill is a little lucky."
"What blessing? The missed opportunity and the defeat also led to the death of the general in the ambush. Zhuang Hai was regarded as a martyr for his country and died. However, although Liu Lan, the deputy general, came back alive, he violated military law and may not be punished unless the emperor imposes it.
Well, even if I don’t die, I’ll still be sad if I’m afraid.”
I heard some familiar people let out a long sigh and said: "I heard that this Liu Lan is not incompetent after many battles. Now he has plummeted. It is really unpredictable.
"What do you regret about someone who has lost his master and humiliated his country? According to me, if you lose the opportunity, you should kill him."
Yu Fan stood up, his eyes darkened, and when he took a look, he saw two people sitting in the side seats, one of whom was Ye Qing.
After a few days, I saw that Ye Qing had changed a lot, the sky was slightly rounder and fuller, and there was no trace of the small clan in the county anymore.
The one opposite is about thirty years old, with a mirror-like forehead, round and smooth.
"This Ye Qing has really changed too much. He has a faint green aura. He is probably the same as a Jinshi. The person opposite is a Quaker and has great luck." When Mr. Kou saw the two of them, he was startled and hurriedly talked to each other.
As Yu Fan said.
When Yu Fan was surprised, Ye Qingzheng also raised his head and saw Yu Fan. He was immediately startled, but remained calm and turned back to talk to Fu Chengshan.
At this time, Ye Qing and Fu Chengshan were nearing the end of the meal. After saying a few words, they called the waiter to pay the bill, but the shopkeeper came to ask for pen and ink.
Ye Qing glanced at Yu Fan and smiled at the shopkeeper: "The art of poetry lies in the skillful hands. How can you create it at will now? But your tribute wine is indeed honest, and I am really happy."
After saying that, he went to the desk. The shopkeeper was busy grinding the inkstone, and the clerk spread out the paper.
Ye Qing dipped his hand in ink, concentrated on writing, and wrote the four words "Bing Ye Gong Liquor". His handwriting was already very good, and at this moment, he felt like he was being helped by a god. His pen was really full of smoke, and his temperament and charm were already there.
When the fire started, Fu Chengshan shouted: "Okay"
There were many examples around, and they all applauded sincerely when they saw it. Ye Qing felt proud of himself. He felt that after years of practice, his handwriting was finally perfect. He took out his personal seal and said, "I still have it."
There is no real official seal, but this private seal may be available."
Then he covered it up, and when everyone looked at it, they saw: "A branch of peach blossom."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion about the four seal characters, not knowing what they meant. Ye Qing smiled and asked to pay. The shop owner quickly resigned, but Ye Qing didn't take it seriously and said: "That's it, Brother Fu, let's go."
After saying that, they bowed to each other, smiled and nodded to Yu Fan, and went out. Yu Fan also smiled and nodded in return, but a thought flashed across his mind: "This Ye Qing is becoming more and more full-fledged, and he may be a big enemy in the future."
When Ye Qing went down the stairs, his face was as dark as water, and he thought to himself: "Yu Fanqing's Qi is hidden in the Yintang, flowing like smoke and fog. It is very different from before, when he had the appearance of a prince. It seems that this Zhaowang Temple is
Wang Qi, let him get it."
The dragon king’s banquet is one point, saving the dragon’s grandson is two points, but this king’s energy is six points
Ye Qing won the title of the leader of the Dragon King's banquet, saved Long Sun, won the title of Yuan, gained the investment and appreciation of the Dragon King, dumped distilled liquor, and purchased ten thousand acres of Nanjin Mountain. In terms of power, he was still not as good as Yu Fan now. This fate is really incredible——
Your family's savings are too deep.
"However, although Da Cai's law selects scholars based on literature and order based on Qi, there are still some differences in the actual process."
"The county examination is just a child's birth, and the expenditure on luck is very small. The court favors culture so that poor people can advance and not lose their way."
"In the county and state examinations, if the total number of scholars and talents is combined, the fortune expenditure will be very huge, so I tend to favor fortune, and those who have more scholars are the sons of the family."
"But when it came to the palace examination, only 23 second-ranked Jinshi were selected out of 7,000 people. They still paid tribute to the Taoist court, but they were mainly based on literature and supplemented by Qi. As long as they are really talented and learn Taoism, heaven will not begrudge them.
How about a little luck?"
"If my literary skills are not among the same scholars, I am afraid that I am really not lucky enough. If my literary skills are among the first list, even if my luck is not good, I will be indispensable for a second-ranked Jinshi."
"It just depends on this palace test."
Thinking of this, Ye Qing smiled and happened to step on the ground under the ladder. But when he returned to his yard, he saw someone at the door. Two girls, both with fair looks and natural beauty, thought to himself: "Where did this beauty come from?"
this?"
Before he had time to ask Jiang Zinan, a middle-aged man came forward and bowed: "Is this Ye Jieyuan? I am Lin Qin, from the Xin County Prince's Palace. I came here to visit on the prince's order."
Ye Qing looked at him in surprise and waved his hand: "It turns out he is a nobleman from Prince Xinjun's palace. Please come in and talk."
After sitting inside and saying a few words, Lin Qin smiled and said, "Mr. Xie Yuan, this is a letter written by the prince himself."
Ye Qing stood up, bowed deeply, took the letter, opened it, and saw that there was not much content inside, but it was very eye-catching.
After looking at it, Ye Qing remained silent and said: "I am not very intelligent and knowledgeable. I never expected that the prince would love me so much and reward me with a thousand pieces of gold and a beautiful woman. But I am flattered."
"Don't think like this, Mr. Xie Yuangong." Lin Qin stared at Ye Qing and said, "The prince once read the articles of Mr. Xie Yuangong. After reading them, he praised him for a long time. He said that this man is restrained in spirit and has profound principles, like the ancient ministers.
Biaoge - this shows how much the prince attaches great importance to Mr. Xie Yuangong."
"Mr. Xie Yuangong, let me tell you the truth. There is nothing to say about your talent. It's just that the imperial court admits Jinshi, but it also depends on fate. Your family is just a squire in the county. You are too young, and this time
There are seven thousand people in the imperial examination, which is unexpected. With your current conditions, you may not be able to pass."
"Daughters of gold and beauties are just trivial matters. Why can a man be nowhere to be found?"
"It's just that talented people have emerged from generation to generation. Ask yourself, let alone the previous dynasty, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present day, the Jinshi who came from the same family as you include Zhao Lu, Qian Shang, Guo Tu, Lu Zizhu, and Shu Yi. They all have their own talents and destiny, and they meet each other.
It is because I was appreciated by a prince or even the Qianfu that I was able to rise to the top - I am not in a position to say this, I cannot say it, but I am a little older, and I still want to have a good relationship with Xie Yuan Gong.
That’s why I said these words.”
Ye Qing heard these heartfelt words and sighed in his heart. He was silent for a long time and then said: "I am praised by the prince. If you say this, I should not know how to praise you."
"It's just that you don't know me well yet. I have a straightforward temper. Let's put it bluntly. I study with my hair tied up. I have had two ambitions since I was enlightened."
"If you can enter, you will be admitted to heaven. You will always be accompanied by plum blossoms, and you will live forever."
"If you can't enter, please serve the imperial court and repay your father's kindness."
"I have never been invited to banquets or gifts. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. However, in March, even if Your Majesty refuses, I will still come to visit you. Thank you for Your grace."
Yu Jing refused this smoothly. Lin Qin looked up and saw Ye Qing's calm attitude. He also remembered the information he had received not long ago, saying that Ye Qing thought about how difficult it was for the court, and then he cried and sighed in his heart: "After all,
He is young, only seventeen years old, and when he is full of passion for serving the country, he does not understand the hardships of the world. I am afraid that such a person will be unable to speak for a while, and it will take a few years before he wakes up."
"But it is normal for a sixteen-year-old Mr. Xie Yuang to have such thoughts." With a bit of emotion and a hint of jealousy, he chatted some more, got up and left.
Ye Qing sent this person out and returned to the yard. He remembered what he had just said and sighed in his heart. When he looked at the sky, there were large dark clouds covering it. Even though it was afternoon, it was still dark. There were lanterns in the distance, but he thought to himself: "Look, look."
You don’t look too angry, is it because of my age?”
"There is a saying on earth: if you don't have passion before the age of thirty, you have no humanity; if you don't have interests after the age of thirty, you have no brains. I am young now, and many people regard me as a young man, so many people are tolerant. If I am over twenty,
Especially at the age of twenty-five, if you are still unwilling to take sides, you may find yourself in a difficult situation."
"It's just that this sixth prince was gray in his previous life. If he is like this in this life, he is afraid that he will not be blessed."
Why was he not blessed? Ye Qing knew clearly. The Sixth Prince could not be blamed. According to common sense, he was just a county gentry and had insufficient luck.
He is only seventeen years old, no matter how top he is, he will never develop a Taoist foundation and win a Jinshi. This has nothing to do with intelligence and talent, but a person's accumulation of principles.
Therefore, if one's luck is insufficient and one's moral karma is insufficient, the only way is to cling to the prince.
But who would have thought that Ye Qing was a time traveler, reborn, and had saved enough, but he was about to use his career to shake the heavenly gate and win the Jinshi.
In this case, only if you are clean and upright, you can be ranked among the twenty-three. If you have few moral mistakes or are dependent on others, you will not have this chance.
So how could Ye Qing agree?
As a result, if you contact Ye Qing in this situation, you will definitely be rejected. From one aspect, isn't it that the Sixth Prince is unlucky?
If he had waited a month until Ye Qing failed the exam or won the Jinshi exam, then he would have been much more likely to agree.
After getting Jinshi, the great calamity is coming. Ye Qing has no intention of being in the center. He wants a prince to respond to the center, but it is much more convenient for both of them. They can cling to him.
