Chapter 150

Yan Jing did not accidentally pass the local examination.

At this time, he was well-known in the south, and was recognized as a talented person. Therefore, the examiner did not surprise him to do understanding yuan.

Wei Lingxiu did not pass the local examination, but he was still deficient.

After the rural examination, Yanjing and Wei Lingxiu lived in Fucheng for a period of time. They discussed knowledge with others and learned a lot.

In September of this year, Yan Jingze and Wei Lingxiu prepared to go to Beijing to take part in the conference examination next spring. By the way, they also completed the task of Wei Lingxiu's succession to the Zhou family. Zhou Song had already returned to the capital before them.

Originally, Yanjing wanted to enter Beijing later. Wei Lingxiu has not yet been elected in the examination, and he must take part in the local examination in his hometown. If the Jinshi in the imperial examination are officials in the capital city, they will have to separate for a long time.

But Zhou Song said that since the Zhou family's ancestral home is near the capital city, Wei Lingxiu will be able to participate in the scientific examination near the capital as long as the matter of weilingxiu's adoption is completed.

Knowing this, Yan Jing then took Wei Ling Xiu north.

They set out in September.

Although it's cool in September in the south of the Yangtze River, the climate is just right and the weather is very comfortable. However, as we go north, the situation is different.

They went north together with the rest of the group. Most of the time, they took boats and hired cars in some places. The farther north they went, the colder the weather was.

"The weather is clear, the frost is falling, the chickens are singing in the morning, and the wild geese are flying to the South..." A whole man sat in the bow of the boat and recited a poem to the mountain by the river. However, as soon as he finished, he sneezed and immediately wrapped up his clothes and hid in the cabin.

The wind was strong on the boat, and Wei Lingxiu stopped writing poetry.

On the whole ship, Yan Jing was not affected at all. He even went to learn how to sail.

"Brother Wei, brother Yan is really It's different! " A Ju Ren surnamed Wang practiced Taoism with Wei Ling.

Wang churen was in his thirties. He was not old, but he was not young. He was very rich. However, as he went north, he became less and less rich.

"Brother Yan is naturally different from ordinary people." Li Xiucai No, it's time to call Li Juren. He highly values yanjingze. He praises yanjingze to others every day, and also tells others that he and yanjingze have a good relationship.

"Brother Yan is in good health." Wei Lingxiu was a little proud when he heard people praise Yan Jingze.

It was a tiring journey. Some of my colleagues even fell ill on the way, so they had to find a place to stay. Yanjing was different At this time, there is the spirit of him!

Wei Lingxiu felt that he was falling apart.

Fortunately, it's getting to the capital!

Since the beginning of winter, the weather in Beijing has become colder day by day.

But in some restaurants, the atmosphere is very warm.

The spring of the next year will be Chunwei. At present, those talented people from almost all over the country have gathered in the capital.

Among these people, the most famous one is a Ju Ren named Cai Shaozhang.

Cai Shaozhang was born in a big family. When he was seven or eight years old, he made an amazing poem. After that, his fame grew more and more year by year.

He had already got Xiao San Yuan and Jie Yuan before. This time, he went to Beijing to attend the scientific examination. He was aiming at Huiyuan and No.1 scholar!

Recently, when he was in the capital, he was in the limelight, and his poetry collection was sought after by countless people.

On this day, Cai Shaozhang attended the conference and wrote another poem. Some people praised him: "good poem! Next year in Chunwei, brother Kong Lin will definitely be nominated in the golden list. "

Cai Shaozhang's name is Kong Lin. when he hears compliments from others, he has a reserved smile on his face.

There is also humanity: "brother Kong Lin may be able to six yuan and."

"How hard it is to pay six yuan, brother." Cai Shaozhang said that although he said so, he was proud of himself.

Some people were not used to CAI Shaozhang's appearance, and suddenly said, "although brother Kong Lin is brilliant, I'm afraid he can't compare with another person."

Hearing this man's words, everyone was curious, but Cai Shaozhang frowned.

"When I went to Beijing to take the exam, I stayed in the south of the Yangtze River. I learned that there was a famous person named Yan Jingze, who had the ability to never forget. A word was even more comparable to that of the previous dynasties."

The south of the Yangtze River is too far away from the capital. Although Yanjing has gained some fame in the south of the Yangtze River, few people know him in the capital.

"It means never forgetting something. Many people can remember something in a short time and forget it after a while. It's nothing." Cai Shaozhang said.

Of course, there are people who can never forget, but they may not take advantage of the imperial examination.

Because most of these people can only remember for a short time, and they will forget after some time.

However, although Cai Shaozhang said so, there are still many people who praise Yanjing: "I have heard of this person's name."

"It is said that he did not know anything before and began to study at the age of 18, but in one year, he got a small three yuan!""I've read his words, and I really feel sorry for myself."

……

Most of the people in Jiangnan have heard of yanjingze's name. They didn't mention it before, but they were all scholars and didn't want to praise others.

But now that CAI Shaozhang is in the limelight, some people will come to talk about it.

Cai Shaozhang didn't believe it at all: "when I was 18 years old, I just read and read, and I got a little Sanyuan in a year? How ridiculous

"Brother Kong Lin, there are people out there."

Cai Shaozhang said, "it's a cat or a tiger. I'll talk to him later."

Yanjing has not been in Beijing, he has been thought of, but he knows nothing about it.

When they were on the boat, the wind was strong and they always felt cold. But the last part of the road was taken by bus, so it was warm, that is, the road was too bumpy.

Yanjing then holds Wei Lingxiu in his arms and lets him sit on his own body, which is better for him.

They both hired a car by themselves, which was unknown to others. However, when they had a short rest on the road, Wang Ju Ren rushed over and lifted up the curtain

The three looked at each other, and Yanjing calmly released Wei Lingxiu's hand, but still held Wei Lingxiu: "brother Wang, what's up?"

Wang Ju people embarrassed smile: "nothing." He just couldn't remember the content of a book he had read before, so he wanted to ask Yan Jingze, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

He said that along the way, Yan Jing and Wei Lingxiu were too good i see!

Wei Lingxiu was suddenly hit by someone. When he got out of the carriage and went to the tea shed next to him, he was very uncomfortable. Seeing that Wang Juren was looking at himself in a covert way, he was even more embarrassed, so he only went to talk to Li Juren.

As for Yan Jing, he borrowed the kitchen from the people who owned the tea house and planned to make something to eat.

From the kitchen comes the tempting fragrance. If you can see Yanjing, you can cook in it Wang Ju Ren approached Wei Ling and asked, "brother Wei, how do you please brother Yan?"

Wei Lingxiu's face changed.

Wang Ju Ren said again: "I don't know if brother Yan looks up to me..."

Wei Lingxiu stepped on Wang Ju Ren's foot.

You don't have to look at the scene!

After hearing Wang Ju Ren's words, Li Juren said: Brother Wang, you'd better look in the mirror before you say this.

"Brother Wei, forgive me I hope to discuss knowledge with brother Yan day and night... " Wang Ju humanitarian, if only someone around him could answer his questions at any time. He was willing to sell his body!

Wei Lingxiu increased the strength of his feet.

Wang Juren: He's wrong!

It's true that the wrong person was chosen.

All the way before, he asked Yanjing questions, and Yanjing always answered questions, but since then, Yanjing has ignored him.

I didn't expect that Yanjing was so big that he was afraid of the inside!

Wang Ju was very sad.

When they came to the capital, they separated.

The families of these people are different. The rich can live in good inns, while the ordinary ones can only live in people's homes or even in temples.

As for Wei Lingxiu and Yan Jing, Zhou Song prepared a small courtyard for them in advance, just for them to live in.

Zhou Song's house is not big, and there are not many rooms in it, but the yard is not small. There are many flowers and plants in the yard.

Wei Lingxiu fell in love with him as soon as he arrived, and Yanjing also liked it very much. He began to direct Zhou Song to send his servants to clean the house.

Seeing a pile of firewood in the corner of the yard, he was still eager to try, and finally he could not resist cutting firewood.

Wei Lingxiu: Brother Yan, let the servant chop the firewood. " Zhou Song's servants for them are a family, a middle-aged couple in their thirties and their two sons and a daughter.

That middle-aged man is still capable of hard work.

"I practice." Yan Jing said that he had been on the road all the way, and he had no chance to exercise. Occasionally, he just threw Wei Lingxiu up and caught him I always feel that my muscles and bones are not moving.

Ok Wei Lingxiu stopped.

It is better to chop firewood than to throw him away!

When he was a child, he was never thrown up and caught again. He didn't expect to feel it when he grew up. At the beginning, he was scared!

But it can't be called - the sound insulation on the ship is not good!

He's really hard!

Wei Lingxiu couldn't find anything to do, so he just got some paper and prepared to paint Yanjing.

He has been very fond of painting recently. He has painted many words and scenes along the way.

Wei Lingxiu was very attentive to his painting, and when he finished, he wrote a poem: "the spring mountains are deserted, the smoke is horizontal, and the Yin ravines are Dingding and logging."

Putting down the pen, Wei Lingxiu was particularly satisfied with himself. He took it up and showed it to Yan Jing: "do you think I'm good at painting?"

"A mess!" A voice suddenly said.

Wei Ling Xiu a Leng, this just found that unexpectedly someone is looking at himself beside.

They were some literati in their twenties and thirties. At the front of the line was a tall, young man. At this time, he grabbed his painting and said, "this painting is just a child's work. As for words This is a word comparable to that of the previous dynasties? "The speaker is Cai Shaozhang.

After he learned that Yanjing had come to the capital, he specially brought people to find yanjingze and wanted to meet yanjingze for a while.

The door of the yard is open, the servant is cleaning, and a man with a weak crown is painting Cai Shaozhang naturally felt that this man was Yan Jingze.

And after he saw this man's calligraphy and painting

To tell you the truth, this man's painting is full of emotion, although he has no skills. He paints the man who cuts firewood with verve.

But that's all. He can do such a painting in his teens!

As for that word, although it is OK, it is also very common. At least his character is better than this person's word!

"Who are you?" Wei Lingxiu frowned.

"Cai Shaozhang." Cai Shaozhang said, "you should have heard my name."

"Never heard of it." Wei Ling xiudao: "return the painting to me."

"I'm ashamed to show such paintings." Cai Shaozhang let go of his hand and said scornfully, "you are really It doesn't live up to its name! "

As a result, as soon as he finished, he was heavily patted on the shoulder, and the whole person staggered and almost fell down.

When Cai Shaozhang raised his head, he saw the tall servant who had been chopping firewood before. At this time, he stood beside him, looked at him in a bad way, and said, "you are in a mess!"

Yan Jing glared at Cai Shaozhang and looked at Wei Lingxiu: "Ling Xiu, you don't have to worry about the lame man! You're a wonderful painter. I like it very much

His family, Ling Xiu, paints and plays in his own house, so he needs other people's evaluation? This man is really annoying.

Cai Shaozhang was "beaten" for a while, immediately angry, to Wei Ling xiudao: "yanjingze, you are so, let your family members beat me?"

In fact, there are still some people who are dissatisfied with CAI Shaozhang, but they also feel that "yanjingze" is wrong.

How can Cai Shaozhang be a scholar? How can he indulge others to treat him like this?

"Who do you say is the servant?" Wei Ling Xiu angrily said.

Yan Jing also said, "are you wrong? I'm the yanjingze. "
