Chapter 639 There are three gods, who should they serve?
"Fourth sister, sixth sister, long time no see." After greeting the Sheng brothers, Wang Lidong said hello to the eye-catching sisters Sheng Molan and Sheng Minglan.
Sheng Molan asked for a blessing and said softly, "Brother Yuanruo, okay." Minglan followed and bowed, "Brother Heng, okay."
Wang Lidong glanced around, but did not see Ru Lan's figure.
Not allowed to meet today??
Since the two families exchanged news and confirmed the audition, the Qi family came to propose marriage. The three girls from the Sheng family have not appeared in Zhuang Xuexue's class. In the past two months, he has only gone to the Sheng family to give New Year gifts during the Chinese New Year.
When I was a child, I met Rulan once.
He waved to the big magpie standing not far away. The big magpie immediately trotted forward and said, "Hello, young master!"
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "How is your girl doing lately?"
The big magpie replied: "Girl had a cold two days ago, so she didn't come today."
Wang Lidong said in surprise, "Fenghan? Your girl is in such good health, did she fall into the water?"
"Didn't fall into the water." The big magpie looked into the lake and said, "The girl accidentally blew a cold wind the day before yesterday..."
"Brother Yuanruo, the fifth sister kicked off the quilt when she went to sleep the night before yesterday, so she caught the cold..." Mo Lan sighed softly, "The fifth sister is only half a year younger than me, but why can't she grow up? She still looks like
Like a little kid."
Wang Lidong thought to himself, he was still a child. Thousands of years later, he will be 14 years old, which is the age of the first and second grade of junior high school, and he will be a minor... It is normal to kick the quilt. He looked at the big magpie and said, "How is Xiaowu's health now?"
How are you doing?"
"The fever has gone away. I just have a bit of a cough. I was afraid of spreading it to my young master, so I didn't come." The big magpie hurriedly handed over the basket in his hand and said, "My girl gave this to my young master. I wish him the best in the toad palace and the best in high school."
Number one scholar."
"What did Xiaowu give me?" Wang Lidong took the basket and was about to open it when he was stopped by Magpie. "My dear, the girl said that you should not open it until you enter the examination room."
Since he was specifically told to do so, he did not open the basket and said to Fugui beside him, "Go to the herbal medicine store later, pick up some typhoid granules, and grab 2 soup packets of donkey hide gelatin and black chicken soup, and give them to the fifth girl."
Fugui nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, Master."
The big magpie said happily, "Thank you so much, young master."
"Heng'er, it's almost time. You can go in." Princess Pingning glanced at the queue at the gate of Gongyuan. There were only a few people left, and reminded her loudly.
"I wish my brother Yuanruo to go to high school in one fell swoop and win the gold list..."
"Second brother Zhu Heng leaps over the dragon gate and wins the championship in one fell swoop..."
Amidst the blessings from the two families, Wang Lidong stood at the back of the entry line with Sheng Changbai, holding two large examination baskets, carrying a large cloth bag half a person's height behind him, and hanging the basket given by Ru Lan on his right arm.
The entry process is no different from the provincial examination, but the inspection is more stringent.
"Your name is Liu Chengzhou?" the middle-aged official in purple looked at the name on the examination card, looked at the horse-faced young man again, and asked.
The horse-faced young man saluted, "Student Liu Chengzhou, I have met my husband."
"do you know me?"
"This is the first time for students to meet their husband."
"Imagine his name, drag him out, and send him to Kaifeng Mansion. He will be shackled for a month. Check the recommended person and sit down together!" The middle-aged official in purple waved his hand, and two soldiers immediately walked out and pulled the pale horse.
The handsome young scholar was tied up.
"My lord, you are unjust! My lord..." The horse-faced scholar struggled and said: "My lord, I did not pretend to be my name. I am Liu Chengzhou! My lord, I am really Liu Chengzhou..."
Seeing the continual chatter around him, the middle-aged official in purple signaled the soldiers to hold off for now and said to the horse-faced young man, "It seems you are determined not to die until the Yellow River.
No matter what, if you are convicted so unclearly, you must be dissatisfied."
The middle-aged examiner said loudly, "I'm Han Qi, the "Zhigong Shen" (examiner) for this examination. My hometown is Anyang, Xiangzhou." Pointing to the horse-faced young man, "Unfortunately, the Liu Chengzhou you pretended to be,
I know him. Not far from my ancestral home, his father is a fur goods trader. He is thirty this year. He has a horse face like you. He has been very smart since he was a child. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of thirteen and passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen. Unfortunately,
He took the general examination 4 times and failed every time. I didn’t expect that he would sink to such a level, so I asked someone to take the exam for him.”
The horse-faced young man's face was ashen, and he immediately collapsed to the ground... At the end of his life, not only will he be expelled from school, but he will also be exiled five hundred miles away in the army, and he will also have tattoos on his face...
Han Qi waved his hand: "Take it away!"
When it was Wang Lidong's turn, the inspecting soldiers and several examiners were all surprised. He actually brought a lot of things, including quilts, pillows, stoves, charcoal cakes, various kinds of raw and cooked meat jerky, washed and dried rice.
Noodles, hard-boiled eggs, dried vegetables, various preserved fruits and fresh fruits... Those who didn't know better thought they were here for camping fun.

The examiner Han Qi looked at Wang Lidong, and he was a little dazzled by his handsomeness. He took the examination card and looked at it, "Who are you, Qi Guogong Qi Hai...?"
Wang Lidong cupped his hands and said, "It's my father."
Han Qi nodded.
After successfully passing the inspection and finding the dormitory, Wang Lidong said goodbye to Sheng Changbai and followed the signs to find his temporary residence for the next three days.
Smelling the smell of flying in the air, I looked at the toilet one meter away, and my face became a little ugly.
I was actually assigned to the "stinky room", and it was the room closest to the toilet.
This is too bad luck!
Or, did someone do it on purpose?
It's useless to think too much at this time, just make peace with it as it comes.
Wang Lidong first put away his luggage, untied the big cloth bag, and found a small cloth bag. After opening it, he saw half a dozen masks made of white cotton gauze and several sachets neatly stacked inside.
I took a mask and put it on, sniffed, and the effect was very good. Then I hung a sachet on my collar.
Done!
After carefully checking the kennel, there were no more small animals this time.
He took out the broom and rag, cleaned it carefully, put together the wooden boards, sat down, and took the bamboo basket given by Magpie.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When I came in for inspection just now, the soldiers inspected it and found a box of champion cakes, a cushion and a pair of knee pads.
I took out the seat cushion and touched it. It was very warm. It was made of wolf skin. I put it under the pg and tried it. It was very nice.
As for the knee pads, I won’t use them for the time being.
He opened the wooden box, picked out a piece of Zhuangyuan cake, opened the mask, and stuffed it into his mouth.
After chewing it for a few times, he knew it was Ru Lan's craftsmanship. It didn't take more than half a day to bake it.
This girl is serious.
The test papers haven't been distributed yet, and the business in the restroom next door is very good.
The students who were walking in and out almost had their eyes popping out when they saw that Wang Lidong still had the appetite to eat.
There were no flush toilets at this time, and the smell of the dry toilets was amazing!
None of the bad candidates nearby looked good, and two of them were so vomiting that their bile came out...
"My lord, Chen Mancang, what should I call this dear friend?" A strange young man stood in front of the dormitory and cupped his hands.
"Qi Yuanruo. I wonder what's the matter with Brother Chen?" Wang Lidong swallowed the Zhuangyuan cake in his mouth, stood up and returned the salute.
"Brother Qi doesn't seem to be afraid of the smell, but it's all thanks to this thing." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at his face, fearing that he wouldn't understand.
"good."
Chen Mancang was overjoyed and asked, "Is there any extra?"
Wang Lidong nodded and said, "There are many."
"Can you give one to my little brother?"
Wang Lidong took a look at Chen Mancang. He had a fat head, big ears, and a shiny face. He wore a white satin Zhongjing crown, mink warm ears, a purple cashmere crane cloak, and foundation soap boots. He didn't have two hundred pieces of clothing. He didn't buy anything at all.
If you don't come down, you'll be a big fat sheep.
"Okay. One fifty guan."
"More..." Chen Mancang stopped abruptly when he was halfway bent. He originally thought he would give him one, but he didn't expect that he would have to pay for it, and it was so expensive. He was afraid that he had heard wrong, so he quickly confirmed, "Fifty Guan."
One piece of money?”
"That's right, fifty guan each. This thing is from overseas. When I bought it, it only cost 50 guan." Wang Lidong looked sincere.
Chen Mancang secretly let out a sigh.
Even if it is made of silk, such a small thing will not cost more than 1 pound.
too dark!
Chen Mancang struggled for a moment and said, "Brother Qi, can you let me try it on?"
Wang Lidong nodded and said, "Okay. If you pay, you can try it on."
Chen Mancang almost couldn't help but say, "Fuck!"
Seeing that this guy was a little hesitant, Wang Lidong raised his head and looked at the direction of Mr. Sun, "The exam papers are about to be handed out. Brother Chen needs to make a decision quickly."
Chen Mancang smelled the scent of Xiang in the air, considered it for a long time, gritted his teeth and took out three gold coins. "Brother Qi, give me one."
Wang Lidong took the gold coins and found that they were Sihai gold coins issued by his own trading company. It seemed that Chen Mancang's family business was doing quite well.
well!
Less!
Chen Mancang took the mask, immediately followed Wang Lidong's example, covered his mouth and nose, took two breaths, and felt that the world was full of friendship again!
"Brother Chen, do you want a sachet?" Wang Lidong pointed to the small sachet on his collar and said, "With this, the effect will be even better."
"How much?"
"Same, 50 gold coins. You gave me 3 gold coins just now, and I can make up for 2 more gold coins."
Chen Mancang didn't even think about it and immediately took out two gold coins from his pocket. After hanging it up, he tried the effect and bowed deeply to Wang Lidong, "Thank you, Brother Qi."
Even though it cost a lot of money, the results are so great that it’s worth it.
For a rich person, the most valuable thing is time. Without Wang Lidong's equipment, he would definitely not be able to pass this time. If he wanted to take the exam again, he would have to wait three years. That loss cannot be made up by hundreds of dollars. of.

Shengfu, Jiying Lane, South of the City
Sheng Hong walked into Wei Ruixuan and saw that the side hall was shrouded in smoke. He was immediately startled. It was a fire. He hurriedly asked the steward to call the fire fighters.
The population density of Tokyo City is almost 22,000 people per square kilometer, which is close to the population density of the Pearl of 2010, Huacheng Old Town. It was the most populous and largest city in the world at the same time.
Moreover, there was no cement during this period, and most of the houses were one or two-story civil structures, so the buildings were very crowded, and the streets were connected, one next to the other.
If one of them catches fire, if the fire is not put out in time, it will easily lead to a burning situation. Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty court established a professional fire prevention team called the Submersible Fire Soldiers, which was responsible for fire prevention tasks in the capital.
"Master, there is no fire." The steward Laifu hurriedly explained, "The eldest lady is burning incense in the side hall to pray for the second young master."
Sheng Hong's expression changed, and he walked towards the side hall. "You prodigal woman, how much incense must be burned to achieve this effect?"
As soon as I stepped into the side hall, I was choked by the thick smoke and burst into tears. I quickly asked the housekeeper to open all the windows.
Mrs. Wang knelt in front of the portraits of the three saints, clasped her hands, and chanted repeatedly, "...Buddha, bless my elder cypress to win the gold medal in one fell swoop... Taishang Laojun, bless my elder cypress to win the first prize in one fell swoop." , is on the list... Master Kong Sheng, please bless my parents, Zhang Bai, to become a blockbuster and pass the exam..."
"Plop", a laugh sounded in the room.
Mrs. Wang was trying hard to sell her son to the Three Saints how good he was, and suddenly became a little unhappy. When he turned around, he saw that it was Sheng Hong, "What are you laughing at, officials?"
"The Master said, Master did not talk about strange powers and confuse the gods," Sheng Hong pointed at the portraits of the Three Saints, "Even if you want to worship, you should only worship one family. Only by sincerely offering incense will the gods sense your thoughts. This is called ' Sincerity leads to spiritual success, you three families will worship together..."
"Mother!" Ru Lan hummed as she rushed into the side hall with the little golden calf in her arms. When she saw her father was there, she hurriedly said, "Daddy."
Seeing Xiao Wu yelling and not looking like a lady, Sheng Hong frowned slightly and said, "You haven't recovered yet, why are you running around?"
"It's almost healed. I just have a slight cough." Ru Lan quickly picked up the little golden bull in her hand and said, "I'm here to deliver the tribute."
Sheng Hong glanced at the little golden bull. It was the gift given by Princess Pingning when she came to visit her for the first time a few years ago. Xiaowu's baby was not good enough. Once he touched it, his expression changed on the spot and he said in surprise, "Tribute?" "
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ru Lan nodded her little head towards the portrait of the Three Saints, "Mother is asking for help. Just burning a few sticks of incense is too stingy.
I will send the calf over. The three gods will be happy to see it, and the second brother will definitely win."
I secretly added in my mind, Brother Heng will definitely win!
Sheng Hong was greatly relieved that his brother, friend and sister were respectful, but he still had a look of disgust on his face and waved his hand to let his daughter do as she pleased.
Ru Lan hurriedly carried the little golden bull to Mrs. Wang's side and looked at the portraits of the Three Saints, a little dumbfounded.
There is only one golden bull, but there are three gods. Who will he serve?

Gongyuan of the Capital
After lunch, the examiner Han Qi led a group of invigilators and began to inspect the examination room.
After walking around for most of the place, a strong wind suddenly blew, and soon the sky was filled with dark clouds. Everyone looked up at the sky and saw that there would be heavy rain soon, so they quickened their pace.
When everyone turned into a row of dormitories, they saw that the last dormitory was filled with smoke, and they all prepared to call for help to put out the fire.
The inspector in charge of this area hurriedly said, "Ms. Han, sirs, there is no fire. The people in this dormitory are grilling meat, so the smoke is a bit thicker."
"Barbecue?!" Han Qi looked surprised. According to the layout of the examination room, there should be a stinky sign there.
"Is that a bad call over there?"
"My lord, you remember correctly, it's a bad name."
Damn it, barbecue next to the smelly horn.
For a time, all the officials became interested and wanted to see which man of God had such a good appetite.
When all the invigilators approached Wang Lidong's dormitory, a strong smell hit their nostrils, making everyone feel regretful.
I have the urge to run away.
But after you have come, if you turn around and leave at this time, if it is spread by someone who is interested, you will inevitably be copied by ginseng.
They all covered their noses with their sleeves and took two quick steps to reach the smelly horn. They saw Wang Lidong flipping several skewers of meat with his left hand. From time to time, his right hand took out some unknown powder from a wooden box and sprinkled it on the meat skewers.
The smell of Xiang mixed with the smell of meat...this taste...is really difficult to describe in words.
"vomit!"
An examiner ate too much for lunch and felt his stomach churn violently. He couldn't hold it in for a while and vomited all over the floor.
