The autumn breeze brings coolness, and the fields are already bearing fruit, but tigers are particularly ferocious in autumn.
This is the harvest season. Farmers have worked hard for most of the year, and their sweat and labor will always be rewarded. The Jinshi examination is arranged in such a season to complement each other. After ten years of hard work, countless students have studied hard for decades, and their results have come to be tested.
when.
He is famous all over the world and no one knows you. He has quietly ended up in obscurity and is unknown to the public. You can see the real mark in the examination room.
The morning was misty and the red sun was rising over the distant mountains. It was a nice day.
Song Yan was already waiting at the door of the small courtyard on the outskirts of Niujiao Town. As a scholar who had been with Yun Jing for many years, he was going to Beijing to take the exam together.
Yunjing had already bathed, washed and tidied up, and had breakfast that Bai Zhi had made since he got up in the middle of the night.
In the small courtyard, she helped Yun Jing tidy up his clothes with gentle movements, and said softly: "I wish your husband a bright future and be named on the gold medal list, and he will be famous all over the world when he rides on horseback."
Being named on the gold medal list and paraded through the streets on horseback is the highest achievement as a scholar at this stage.
"I'll lend you your good words and wait until I come back," Yunjing stroked her long hair and nodded.
Bai Zhi glanced at Yun Jing reluctantly, stepped back slightly and knelt down to salute and said, "It's getting late. The mountains are high and the road is far away. My husband will come back early. I'm waiting for you at home."
"Um……"
After saying goodbye, Yunjing walked towards the door.
Song Yue was carrying Yunjing's bookcase, and the Four Treasures of the Study had already been prepared. The bookcase was hand-knitted by Yunjing's grandfather, and Yunjing was nostalgic for it and was reluctant to replace it for many years.
I’ve already said hello to my family, so I can set off directly.
When he came to the door, Yunjing turned around and said to Bai Zhi: "I'm going to go now, Xiaobai, take a rest at home and don't tire yourself too much. Let's go."
After saying that, he took Song Yan into the sky and quickly disappeared into the horizon. There was no need to go through the long journey and he could just fly directly to the capital. Other students rushing to take the exam would have to leave half a year in advance.
Yunjing has just set off now, and there are only three days before the imperial examination starts. Fortunately, he can fly, which is convenient, and he can go there in time on the same day.
Bai Zhi kept watching Yunjing and the others disappear completely before he looked back, with a bright melting light on his face. He thought to himself that next time we meet, my husband will be a Jinshi. He just doesn't know what the ranking will be, but he won't be behind.
As Yun Jing's bedfellow, Bai Zhi knew very well that his husband-in-law, not to mention his cultivation level, just in terms of knowledge, to be conservative, there were few people in the younger generation in Dali who could compare with him. Even his husband-in-law could not be named on the gold medal list.
, then there must be something shady!
Even if there is a shady secret, my husband is the biggest shady secret, hehe...
This is Song Yan's first time to go to the capital. As a book boy in Yunjing, he often communicates with the capital because of the industry in Yunjing's capital. But it is really his first time to go to the capital, and he is still a little excited, but he
Warn yourself, your young master is in a mythical realm respected by the whole country, so you must be steady and don't embarrass the young master.
"Xiao Song looks more nervous than me?" Yun Jing said jokingly.
Song Yan pursed his lips and shook his head: "Master, I'm not nervous."
"You still say you're not nervous, haha. Let's be brave. To be honest, even if you're not famous, there aren't many people who can be rude to you. Don't think that 'Master Song' is so majestic when he betrays me.
", Yun Jing said.
Song Yue immediately panicked and said, "I don't dare, young master. I have never used your name to show off my authority. Really, those people are too polite."
"Why are you panicking? I don't blame you. Besides, as my future steward, I often have to take care of reputation issues, but you can be more presumptuous, because if you are polite to others, people will not respect you.
I'm sorry, do you understand?" Yun Jingyi pointed out.
Song Yue was still young and did not understand many things very well, but he was not stupid and knew everything. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master, I understand."
Without saying anything more, within a few words, Yun Jing made a thought in his mind and took Song Yue to the ground.
They didn't fly very far when they set off, and they hadn't left Xinlin County yet.
There is a "Yuanxing Pavilion" at the junction of Xinlin County. Yunjing took Song Yue to the pavilion. After arriving here, Song Yue wisely went a little further.
Yuanxing Pavilion means that after passing here, it can be said that you have left your hometown for a long journey. This place is full of sad stories about parting and farewell.
Lin Xingyu, who was wearing a white sword suit in the pavilion, had been waiting here early. When she saw the cloud scene, she immediately stepped forward and said happily: "Fortunately, I didn't miss my husband's schedule."
"Didn't you say you don't have to practice it for me? You've been waiting for a long time," Yunjing shook his head.
Lin Xingyu smiled like a flower and said: "My husband is going to the capital to take the exam. This is a major event in life. How dare I neglect it? I haven't waited long. I just arrived a while ago."
"You..." Seeing that her hair was still covered with morning dew, Yunjing didn't know that she had been here for a long time, and she was probably waiting here in the middle of the night.
Smiling, Lin Xingyu opened the food box next to him, picked up a tray inside, with two side dishes on it, and a pot of warm wine, and said to Yunjing: "My lord, please have a glass of wine, and we will go to the palace of victory."
"arbitrary"
"Xingyu is determined. My husband will not let you down." Yunjing picked up the wine glass and drank in one gulp.
Lin Xingyu picked up the dishes with her own hands and fed him. Yunjing had no choice but to open his mouth to eat. She wiped the corners of Yunjing's mouth with the prepared Baijuan and said, "Okay, sir, go ahead. I'm not here."
I wasted your time, waiting for you to come back."
"Okay", Yunjing put down the wine glass and smiled, then deliberately looked her up and said, "Xingyu seems to be in better shape. I will measure you carefully when my husband comes back."
"Oh sir, you should focus on the imperial examination now." Lin Xingyu immediately stomped his feet in embarrassment.
Yun Jing smiled happily, waved his hand and said, "Xingyu is a thin-skinned person. Okay, I'll go ahead and wait for the good news. I'll wait until my husband kills all those scholars..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunjing waved his hand and took Songyan into the air and flew towards the capital.
Watching Yun Jing and the others go away, Lin Xingyu looked away and smiled. He lowered his head and looked at his graceful figure, thinking to himself, could it be that he really has lost some weight?
Next, Yunjing and the others did not stop on the way, and went directly to the gate of the capital. They came all the way from Jiangzhou and crossed thousands of mountains and rivers in not much time.
The imperial examination is about to take place, and entry and exit into the capital is extremely strict. There are ten times more soldiers at the city gate than before, and there are even civil servants who are personally on duty to prevent chaos, otherwise no one can bear the blame.
Yunjing and Songyan appeared directly behind the queue of students rushing to enter the city to take the exam. No one felt out of place, as if they were queuing up normally. No one was even surprised that they fell from the sky.
After all, in the mythical realm, a single thought can distort the consciousness of others.
While queuing, Song Yan thought of the scene in the capital he had seen before, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the capital, the heart of Dali, under the emperor's feet, stretching for hundreds of miles, and you can't see the end at a glance. I have never seen such a big city.
Even the capital of Jiangzhou outside is just a peripheral corner here."
"That's right, the capital city is not comparable to other places," Yun Jingshen said with a clear conscience.
Their conversation did not avoid others, and attracted some people's attention. A few people's faces clearly showed the look of where they came from. However, no one would offend others easily when they go out. What's more, Yunjing is still dressed as a scholar, and most likely he is.
Students rushing to take exams may be followed by classmates or even colleagues, and the people in front of them will look back and nod to say hello.
Yunjing returned the favor with a smile.
The daily throughput in and out of the capital is extremely astonishing. The total number of gates in all directions is probably no less than a million. Fortunately, there are dedicated passages for scholars, so the queues are still very fast.
When it was Yunjing's turn, Song Yan handed Lu Yin's student registration form. The person in charge of the inspection was obviously stunned and looked up at them in astonishment.
There is no stamp on the household registration road at all. It comes directly from Niujiao Town, Jiangzhou. Is it possible to fly in?
Not daring to neglect, he immediately reported this kind of thing to his superiors. Soon the person in charge here was alarmed and hurried towards this side.
It was not because Yunjing and the others came suddenly, but because they learned Yunjing’s identity through his academic status and came to see him.
Yunjing shook his head and said: "There is no need to make a big show of things and disturb others, just be normal."
The other party stopped. Since Yun Jing wanted to keep a low profile, he didn't dare to come over, but he still bowed respectfully and hesitated: "Yun...Mr. Yun, do you still need to open the front door to greet me?"
"No need, just like this," Yun Jing shook his head and said.
There is more than one entrance to and from the capital. Usually, there are side entrances. The main entrance is almost always closed and cannot be opened easily. Those who can use the main entrance are either the emperor, the master, or the victorious soldiers.
Yunjing's status was transcendent and special, so he could naturally go through the main entrance, but he said it was not necessary, and the person in charge did not dare to say anything more, so he quickly returned his student status and let him go.
"Young master, everyone else was let in after just one look, but when it was our turn, we turned out to be like rebels?" After entering the door, Song Yan couldn't help but groan. It was his first time in the capital, and he felt that his young master was being treated differently.
Yun Jing laughed and said: "We are not treated differently, but we are treated more grandly than anyone else."
Song Yan was puzzled, but said nothing.
He just complained a little bit, but he didn't know that the official in charge of this department trembled all over and turned pale with fear. He was Mr. Yun's entourage, and he actually expressed dissatisfaction with our actions. If it was serious, it would be fatal. Fortunately, Mr. Yun didn't mind.
…
After taking a few steps, Yunjing and the others were surrounded by a group of people.
They were not people who knew Yunjing, but a group of people seeking a living at the gate of the city. Seeing them coming from afar, they all came to talk to him.
"Sir, the inn is full now and there is no place to stay, but I have connections. Do you need to help you make arrangements?"
"My husband is very polite. You have come all the way for the imperial examination. We can help you introduce and arrange a visit to the official Mr. Su. Do you need any help?"
"No one knows the capital better than me. Master, if you need anything, I can help you make arrangements clearly..."
Such a scene made Song Yan a little overwhelmed, everyone was so enthusiastic.
Yunjing actually thinks that this scene is quite friendly, just like returning to the train station in his previous life, and it can be regarded as a characteristic of the capital.
"Thank you for your kindness. My young master has property in the capital, so I won't bother you all." How could Yun Jing come forward for such a thing? Song Yan quickly adapted to it and politely refused.
After hearing this, people didn't bother and went looking for the next target. A waste of time is a waste of money.
Walking towards the city, Yunjing said: "Xiao Song, you have to know that this kind of place is a mixed bag of good and bad. I wonder if you noticed that there were at least ten people who had ill intentions towards us just now. They gave up after seeing me dressed up as a scholar.
idea"
"Master, of course I know, I just don't care. If they dare to reach out and break their claws, then the capital is not as beautiful as I imagined," Song Yan nodded.
Smiling, Yunjing said: "Of course, especially in a place like the capital, if you are not discerning, you will be eaten to the bone without even leaving any bones. Look over there, people who have come all the way to pay tribute and be deceived."
It’s so clean that I don’t even have a place to cry.”
"Well, the government won't care about it?" Song Yan was stunned, thinking that the capital was too difficult and not friendly to outsiders at all.
"I don't care, why don't I care, but how can I control so much?"
"Actually, there are many such things everywhere... huh?" As he spoke, Song Yan frowned, and a group of people in front of him came directly towards them.
Now Song Yan's cultivation level has been promoted to the late Xiantian stage by Yun Jing, and he is working hard towards the True Meaning Mirror. However, according to his senses, among the people who came, there is no one who is easy to compare with him.
Patting him on the shoulder, Yun Jing said: "Xiao Song, please be patient. We are one of our own."
One of our own?
Before Song Yan could react, the people who came appeared in front of them, led by Qingmei Qingyue, Sotutubo and the others were also there, and there was also a large carriage that was unassuming but not simple at first glance.
"Young Master has been tired from traveling, and my servants have been waiting for a long time. Please get in the carriage." Qingmei and the others saluted immediately, and immediately put down the soft bumpers for the carriage to make it easier to get on.
Nodding, Yunjing stepped into the car and said: "Xiao Song, this is Mr. Qingmei Qingyue Tubo and the others. Have you already communicated with them? Let's get to know each other first. Well, Xiao Song is driving."
After saying that, Yun Jing entered the carriage where Qing Yue raised the curtain.
The carriage is extremely spacious, and it doesn't feel crowded when several people enter at the same time. There are soft couches inside, and a small table. The details are exquisite. It is difficult to buy any inconspicuous things in the market. Just the soft
For example, a fluffy carpet is worth tens of thousands of dollars and has a price but no market.
Although this was arranged by Qingmei and the others, Yunjing is estimated to be the car that Wu Qingmei once came to Dali, so how can this carriage be simple? In terms of luxury, how many people can compare with the king of a country?
After entering the carriage, Yun Jing lay down on the soft couch, and the carriage quickly started to go to his residence.
"I've met Butler Song", Qingmei Qingyue outside immediately saluted Song Yan respectfully, even though they were the maids assigned by Wu Qingmei to Yun Jing, she didn't hesitate at all.
It should be noted that Song Yan has been with Yunjing's master for many years, and he is Yunjing's confidant. He can directly represent Yunjing on many occasions, but they are not comparable.
Song Yan didn't put on airs either. Although he had never met him, he had exchanged letters with each other. He nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out it's the two sisters Qingmei Qingyue. You are thoughtful. Master, please be more attentive."
"Well, please, Butler Song," Qingmei and the others nodded, feeling a little relieved, and immediately entered the car.
Although this is just a simple greeting, it is actually a transfer of power. Now that Song Yan is here, everyone in the capital, except Yunjing and the future mistress, will have to listen to him.
After their first contact, Qingmei and the others felt that Song Yan was easy to get along with. If they encountered a harsh housekeeper, they would not be so relaxed in the future.
After they greeted each other, Suo Tu immediately stepped forward and said, "Steward Song, leave the young master's salute to us."
Song Yan nodded and handed the book box to him. At the same time, he sat in the coachman's seat and said, "Be careful, there are all the young master's things inside."
"Don't worry, Butler Song," Suotu said seriously.
Regardless of their later cultivation of True Intention Mirror, they have to behave themselves in front of Song Yan. If it were in the past, they would still secretly compete with Song Yan for the right to speak because of Wu Qingmei. But as Yunjing stepped into the mythical realm, Wu Qingmei
The little advantage Qingmei brought them was gone.
Song Yan is the ‘face’ of Yunjing, and to put it bluntly, Emperor Dali must be polite when he sees him!
Now Yunjing asked Song Yan to drive the coach. He was not belittling Song Yan. Not everyone could sit in the driver's seat. It was for Yunjing to control the direction. From this point, we can see that Song Yan was in Yunjing's heart.
of weight.
With Tubo and the others guiding them, Song Yan drove towards his residence. He had followed Yunjing for many years. Although it was his first time in the capital, he knew Yunjing's affairs very well.
After they met and got to know each other, he asked: "I sent you a letter earlier, saying that the young master is here to take part in the imperial examination. Can you please make sure you are well prepared?"
"Back to the steward of the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination will start in three days and last for three days. The examiner is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We have also inquired about the invigilators. In addition, we have already registered for the young master. You only need to familiarize yourself with the examination room in these two days."
It was Suotu who answered, while Qingmei and the others had already entered the carriage to wait on Yunjing.
Song Yan nodded and said: "Well, the Young Master's imperial examination is the most important thing. If it is not necessary, don't make arrangements for it. In addition, don't let others disturb the Young Master easily. If you can't avoid it, let me know first that I am making arrangements."
"Understood", Suotu nodded seriously.
Song Yan can represent Yunjing. If he doesn't want to, the emperor can stop him when he comes to visit, and Yunjing won't say anything. Again, Song Yan is Yunjing's confidant, and he always wants to
Stand on the side of your own people.
Of course, if Song Yan took advantage of Yun Jing to cause chaos, he would definitely not condone it, but that was a matter behind closed doors.
Song Yan didn't say anything to avoid disturbing the cloud scene in the car.
Not to mention, this is the best car he has driven for Yunjing for many years. It is not bumpy at all on the road, it is very smooth, and the carriage is very soundproof, and no movement is heard inside. Of course, no one dares to explore
The situation in the car...
In the carriage, Yunjing was lying on the soft couch. Qingyue knelt down behind Yunjing, pillowing his head on the soft and plump part of her chest. She was massaging Yunjing's head with her delicate hands, while Qingmei helped Yunjing take off his shoes.
, place one foot on the chest and massage.
They are professional waiters. They were assigned to Yunjing by Wu Qingmei, and they are Yunjing's people. Unfortunately, they are just maids. They don't even dare to think of climbing onto Yunjing's bed. They can only do their best to make good arrangements.
Internal matters.
Yunjing has never forgotten his origins from a poor peasant family, but he will not pretend to be noble. It is one thing to be at home, but he will not refuse what he deserves to enjoy. Otherwise, what is the purpose of a person's life?
He will not care about people's "intrigues". As long as he does not make mistakes, how much an individual can achieve within the rules is a matter of his own ability.
Under Qingmei Qingyue's service, Yunjing closed his eyes and asked, "Has Qingmei contacted you recently?"
"Back to you, young master, Your Majesty hasn't contacted us for a long time, but..." Qingmei Yi changed and helped Yun Jing press her feet, but she hesitated to speak.
It's not surprising that Wu Qingmei didn't contact them and Yun Jing. She knows propriety better than anyone else. After assigning these people to Yun Jing, they will become Yun Jing's people. It would be inappropriate for her to point fingers anymore.
"But what?" Yunjing asked curiously.
Qingmei immediately said: "Just to let the young master know, your majesty is waiting for the young master in the courtyard now."
"Qingmei came to Dali?" Yunjing was immediately stunned.
As Emperor Sanluo, what Wu Qingmei does there is beyond Qingyue's control, so they don't know how to answer.
Yunjing didn't say much anymore. Anyway, he would see Wu Qingmei soon. However, it can be seen from this that even though Qingmei Qingyue and the others were arranged by Wu Qingmei for Yunjing, they are now treated by Yunjing.
Otherwise, Wu Qingmei would not have informed him immediately when he came to Dali, but would have given Yun Jing a surprise when the time came.
Then Yunjing asked again: "By the way, has brother Ye Tian come to see me recently?"
"Young master, I have been here a few times. Mr. Ye has obtained the title of scholar and is on the top list. He will tell you as soon as possible. However, the young master is no longer here. The last time he said that the young master is going to start the imperial examination, he will not bother you."
Qingmei replied.
It's not surprising that Ye Tian passed the examination and became a scholar, but it was strange that he failed.
There is a saying that people have different fates. How many years did Ye Tiancai study? He was already a scholar. Many scholars could not pass the exam even after ten years of hard work.
At this time, Yunjing suddenly stood up while Qingmei and the others were confused and said: "Stop the car and wait here for a while."
As soon as the words fell, Yun Jing's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, Yun Jing's figure had appeared at a simple tea stall a hundred meters away. There were no customers at the tea stall, not even the boss and waiter. There was just an old man in gray sitting there and drinking calmly.
Tea.
Yunjing cupped his hands and saluted and said, "This junior has met Mr. Huang."
The old man drinking tea is none other than Mr. Huang from Changyang Huang. He is obviously here to wait for Yunjing.
He extended his hand and said: "Xiao Jing, there is no need to be polite, please sit down."
"It would be disrespectful for me, junior," Yun Jing sat down as he was told.
Huang Changyang took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea, and Yunjing bowed slightly to thank him.
He didn't engage in any confrontation with Yun Jing, but said directly: "Xiao Jing, do you really want to take the imperial examination? I thought you were just joking."
"Junior is indeed serious. After all, you have been studying for many years, so you can't give up halfway." Yun Dingding nodded.
Huang Changyang shook his head and said: "Since you insist, I won't say anything anymore. Actually, if you want me to tell you what ranking you want, I will arrange it for you directly. Why bother?"
"That's not fair to other people. This junior feels that he has some real talents," Yun Jing said with a smile.
