This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 41 Character Level Up
A few days later, Lu Sen participated in Zhao Bilian's Jiji... More than 20 relatives and friends were present.

This is mainly because Zhao Bilian has no 'identity' and is not included in the family tree.Runan County King wants to help her do something well.

After all, for the marriage of an illegitimate daughter, the invitation to the ministers in the DPRK is itself a kind of contempt for the ministers.

So it was simply held.

But Zhao Bilian was not unhappy, because Lu Sen came to participate as scheduled.

And Lu Sen felt a little uncomfortable at the venue. He always felt that Zhao Bilian's relatives looked at him strangely.

The spring breeze in April is like scissors, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Although it was still a little chilly at this time, all the farmers started to sow in the fields.

Whether it's planting crops or vegetables, it's like being busy.

In Bianjing City, more important things began.

The provincial examination, because it is held in the spring, is also called the spring examination or the spring.

This provincial test was presided over by Ouyang Xiu, who also made innovations for this provincial test.

The Kaifeng House was in charge of the order and safety of the examination room. Zhan Zhao took nearly [-] catchers to surround the site, and dozens of archers hid in high places. Not to mention flies, even people from the rivers and lakes could not fly in. .

Lu Sen was very interested in the imperial examinations, but he was only interested in the excitement when the rankings were released, so he did not go to the outside of the examination room to watch like the others.

Because there are three exams in a row, strategy theory, Moyi and poetry.

It would take more than ten days for the kung fu people to come out of the examination room. At this time, they ran around to watch, and they could only see the air and loneliness.

However, there are still many people who are too busy to squat outside the examination room.

I don't know what they were thinking.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and the scholars came out of the examination room.

The vast majority were downcast, and only a few looked elated.

Especially led by Su Shi, he waved the paper fan and said triumphantly to his younger brother Su Zhe: "This time, whether it's strategy theory, Moyi or poetry, I'll do it all in one go. Even if I can't save Yuan, at least I won't be out. Explore the flowers."

A group of scholars next to him glared at him when they heard this.

But Su Shi didn't care, instead, he swept the crowd around him with a proud gaze, and then walked away with his younger brother.

After leaving the examination room and walking a little further, Su Zhe said, "Brother, you have to change your habit of open mouth. It is very easy to offend others."

Su Shi said nonchalantly: "Why worry about others too much, with such a leisurely mood, wouldn't it be wonderful for me to find more delicacies in the capital."

Su Ze shook his head helplessly.

"Speaking of which, it would be nice if I could bump into that young man again."

Su Zhe didn't react for a while and asked, "Which one?"

"It's the one who saw through my aggressive plan." Su Shi felt the saliva secreting from his mouth: "I would like to taste the sweet juice that his girl said, how delicious it is."

"Isn't the person you're talking about right there?" Su Ze pointed to the front left.

Su Shi looked over, and indeed found a young man in white walking in front of him.

Even in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, the other party stood out from the crowd and stood out.

"Quick, catch up." Su Shi closed his fan, smashed through the crowd, and headed straight for Lu Sen.

After a while, he caught up with Lu Sen and stood in front of the latter, panting and said, "This young man, Xiaosheng has found you."

"Su big elbow?" Lu Sen was a little surprised.

When Su Shi heard this, he was dissatisfied: "Hey, how can you, a young man, give people nicknames at will."

"Okay, Brother Su!" Lu Sen smiled and clasped his fists: "I don't know why you stopped me, what's the matter?"

"I just finished the provincial test, and my mouth is dry. Please invite me to drink sweet juice." Su Shi said with a smile.

"Isn't it." Lu Sen thought it was very funny: "After you finished the provincial exam, you didn't want to meet the questions with the adults in your family, but you wanted to come and drink sweet juice, and your heart was too big."

"Just say please or not." Su Shi opened the paper fan with a slam and shook it vigorously to cool himself down: "Since you said last time that I was shameless and shameless, I am shameless and shameless and relying on you today, hehe."

Some time ago, Su Shi was still a little ashamed, but now he seems to have abandoned his shame in order to drink sweet juice.

Alas... Lu Sen sighed deeply, but for some reason, he felt that Su Shi's actions seemed to be a normal thing.

Su Zhe said ashamedly from the side: "This brother, I'm really sorry, brother, he has this character, and he can't walk when he sees delicious food."

Lu Sen really understands that, after all, for Su Shi, the people of later generations like his identity as a big foodie, more than his identity as a poet.

After thinking about it, Lu Sen said, "I'm about to go back, but my home is outside the city. If you want to eat sweet juice, Su Dazhu, you have to walk out of the city with me for a while."

"You call me Big Elbow again!" Su Shi was very dissatisfied.

"If you want me to treat you to sweet juice, you have to recognize this nickname." Lu Sen smiled.

"Success!" Su Shi slammed the palm of his left hand with a paper fan, and agreed without hesitation.

Su Zhe covered his face with his hands, showing no face.

"Let's go then."

Lu Sen took the initiative to walk in front.

Su Shi happily followed Lu Sen, but Su Zhe felt embarrassed and wanted to leave the team several times to go home first, but thinking about leaving his eldest brother alone outside, he was not at ease, so he continued to follow.

A few people walked out of the city and chatted in the direction of the low mountain.

They were all young people, and they quickly became acquainted with each other. Lu Sen also told the Su brothers his name, but the character of the 'cultivator' was not mentioned for the time being.

It is worthless to say things like identity by yourself, there is no 'surprise', and you have to wait for others to find out.

Lu Sen took the Su brothers back to the yard.

The old-fashioned way of shocking is not enough to talk about. Lu Sen asked the two to sit down, and then Ringo went to mix some honey water.

Looking at the light golden but bright liquid in the glass cup, Su Shi's pride in his heart made him want to say: Isn't this just ordinary honey water.

As a wealthy household in Shu, he still drank honey water.

It's just that before he could say these words, he smelled the sweet aroma, he couldn't help taking a sip, and then his eyes lit up.

For foodies, there is nothing more important than a new treat.

He tasted it carefully, as if tasting a good old wine.

Su Zhe was also on the side, slowly drinking up the honey water in the cup.

"Sure enough, it's a rare delicacy." Su Shi was completely convinced now: "I can taste the nectar, but I don't know what kind of nectar it is."

"Hundred Flowers Honey." Lu Sen smiled.

There are many flowers growing on the two acres of grassland, and the honey collected by the jade bee is naturally the honey of a hundred flowers.

Putting down the cup in his hand, Su Shi wanted to say another cup, but finally held back.

It's only early spring, and it stands to reason that the honey is not so fast. He estimates that Lu Sen only uses the honey that he saved last year.

There are not many other people who want to come, and this honey is so sweet and delicious, it must be a treasure. It is a blessing to be able to drink a cup of it.

If it was himself, he would definitely not be willing to give it to outsiders casually.

Seeing Su Shi's hesitant expression, how could Lu Sen not know what he was thinking, so he said to Ringo next to him: "Give the last small half bottle of honey in the cabinet to this big elbow Su."

Ringo nodded, turned to go to the pavilion, took out the honey, and handed it to Su Shi.

Su Shi subconsciously caught it. He looked at the golden honey in the crystal glass bottle, stunned, and said, "This is your last half bottle? Just gave it to me?"

"Don't forget it?" Lu Sen gestured to get it back.

Su Shi instantly hugged him tightly, then turned to dodge: "Lu Xiaolang, what you gave me is mine."

Seeing him like this, Lu Sen chuckled softly.

Su Zhe felt even more shameless on the side.

Although Lu Sen really only has half a bottle left... but there is still a lot of honey in the beehive that has not been scraped out.

If he wanted honey, Lu Sen would just scrape seven or eight bottles out, he really didn't like this small half bottle.

Then the three chatted for a long time. At first, the three of them chatted back and forth. In the end, Lu Sen was the only one left to talk.

"As for the lychees in Lingnan, the concubine's smile is not really delicious, but the June red and the cinnamon flavor are the best."

"In Qiongzhou, there is a kind of crab called coconut crab. It's as big as a bucket. It looks ugly, but it's a rare delicacy when it's steamed. What's worse, it comes with its own sauce."

"Is there such a big crab?" Su Shi felt his taste buds secreting frantically: "It's a pity that Qiongzhou is a barbaric place. I don't think I will go there in my life."

"Oh, it's hard to say." Lu Sen smiled sinisterly.

Su Shi felt an inexplicable malice surrounding him.

Su Zhe also felt that Lu Sen's expression was strange.

After the three chatted for a while, it was getting late, and the Su brothers got up and said goodbye.

A few days later, the Cao brothers, Yang Jinhua and Zhao Bilian each came to visit Lu Sen once.

The three times were just staggered, and none of them collided.

Lu Sen didn't send them any fruit this time, but asked them to bring back some raw vegetables.

Wait until the seventh day, the provincial test will be released.

Lu Sen also went to watch the fun, to watch the famous gang catch their son-in-law.

Outside the Donghua Gate, there are nearly a hundred people's names written on the big red list.

Singers with red ribbons stood on the high platform, holding another red booklet, starting from Shengyuan, and reading out the names of Jinshi by rank.

This is the so-called Donghuamen roll call.

A group of scholars gathered in front of the list, and when they heard his name, the person was ecstatic.

Many of these scholars who were already jinshi had just rushed out of the crowd and were taken away by the servants who were waiting on the side, screaming in fright.

There were onlookers watching and laughing.

Lu Sen was not in the crowd, he was standing on the third floor of the street restaurant, looking down at the farce on the opposite side.

Beside him, Zhao Bilian was with him.

This restaurant is also the property of Runan County King. Because it is a good location, this small restaurant makes a lot of money.

Lu Sen listened with great interest. No.1 Shengyuan was a person whose name he had never heard of, and the second place was Su Shi... Then he listened, his expression gradually became surprised.

Among the jinshi, apart from the Su brothers, there is Zhang Zai... that is the Zhang Zai who 'establishes his mind for the world, establishes his life for the people, succeeds the sages of the past, and creates peace for all generations'.

There are Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi brothers, the two founders of Luo Xueli, starving to death is a small matter, but a breach of law is a big problem!

There are also Zeng Gong, Zhang Dun, Lu Huiqing, Wang Shao and a group of historical celebrities who Lu Sen has heard of the name.

After listening to the roll call, firecrackers were set off in the streets below, and gongs and drums were beaten in the noise.

The happy scholars left amid the noise, and so did the crying scholars.

And Lu Sen... felt his scalp tingling.

It turns out that in this provincial exam, so many celebrities and the Su brothers came out of the same 'session'?
This is definitely the imperial examination where monster geniuses gather the most in the 5000-year history of Chinese civilization.

Then Lu Sen was also a little melancholy.

This group of celebrities represented the cultural peak of the Northern Song Dynasty. After these people gradually died, the Northern Song Dynasty ushered in its end soon after.

The difficulty of Jingkang.

Lu Sen put his hands in his sleeves, looking at the distant sky, he couldn't help asking himself in his heart: What can I do!
He thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find the direction to work hard for the time being.

What I have learned in later generations is just picking up the wisdom of previous people.

And many ideas are out of date in this era.

So, what can you do for yourself?
Just when Lu Sen was a little confused, a bunch of candied haws were placed in front of him.

"Lu Xiaolang, do you want to eat?"

"No, thank you." Lu Sen waved his hand.

He turned his head and found Zhao Bilian smiling brightly, as if her world had no worries.

Affected by her, Lu Sen's mood improved a lot in a blink of an eye, especially her ups and downs of the mountains can inspire people's spirits even more.

After that, he said goodbye to Zhao Bilian, returned to the low mountain, and then began to concentrate on studying the vast formula in the system.

Since the system bar does not have a classification function, you can do it yourself.

Lu Sen divides formulas into four categories: infrastructure, life, immortals, and technology.

It took him more than two months to copy more than 1 recipes.

And in order to sort out which formulas are more suitable for the current situation, he can find materials to make them, and he spent another month sorting them out.

More than three months passed in the blink of an eye.

The time has come to early summer.

At this time, it had been a year since Lu Sen came to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Character experience is full.

This is a good thing, but he is not happy at all.

Because he saw that his level had increased, and hundreds of more formulas had been swiped in the system, he suddenly felt a headache.

I finally managed to sort out the tens of thousands of recipes, and now I come again!

He opened the character attribute column again, wanting to see how his attributes improved after leveling up, but found that there was a black box in his character column. Taking a closer look, he found that it was the spouse column!

Meow meow?

what does this mean?
Does the system even care if you get married or not?

He clicked on the + sign in the spouse column and found that there were many female avatars to choose from.

Taking a closer look, I found that there are not only young girls such as Yang Jinhua, Zhao Bilian, and Jin Ringo to choose from, but also the heads of mature women such as Mu Guiying, Zhao Xiangxiang, Douhua Xi Shi, etc. There are beautiful ugly, fat and thin ones. Meat and fishy are not taboo.

Lu Sen sneered, feeling that this broken system counts all the women he has seen, who are over 12 years old and under 40 years old, as spouse candidates.

"Golden fingers with low intelligence are garbage." Lu Sen felt that his head was big, and the previous tens of thousands of recipes had already made him almost fall off.

But he was also a little curious, what would happen if he chose a woman's avatar and put it in the spouse column?
Just when I was thinking about it, I found that there was an exclamation mark behind each woman's avatar. I 'placed' my consciousness on the exclamation mark, and the system description came out.

Yang Jinhua (Jianmen Tiger Girl): All cold weapon formula consumables are reduced by 30%, and the basic attributes of the produced cold weapon are increased by 20%.

Zhao Bilian (Night County Lord): The maximum area of ​​the home system is increased by 2 mu, and a small gold mine randomly appears in the yard, producing three or two pieces of gold every month.

Huh, that's interesting.

Lu Sen immediately became interested.
