[Comprehensive martial arts] I fall into the city

In the 22nd year of Chenghua, Lin Ruhai, the Governor of Water Transport, moved to the Zuodu Yushi, the second rank, and returned to Beijing on the same day.

Water transportation is the most important thing in the imperial court's supervision. Almost no governor of water transportation is able to complete his term of office. It is rare for the lord who died in office before. What's wrong with this oil and water officer? After receiving the official certificate, he was busy for a few days to facilitate the handover of the next official.

The servants of the Lin family happily packed up their things. When the grown-up Daiyu heard about this, she was both surprised and happy. What surprised her was that she was going to the capital again. She was happy because she had been in correspondence with Li Ning for five years. I thought I would never see him again, but I never thought that the good news would come so quickly.

And compared to the last time when she left home and returned to Beijing alone, she went to work with her father, and she didn't have to depend on others, and she didn't have to be careful everywhere. Apart from the surprise at the beginning, Daiyu quickly calmed down.

She walked briskly to the back hall, and saw two little sisters admiring the flowers in the courtyard.

Her feet were only released in the past two years. Fortunately, they were not too late. Unlike those golden lotus feet, she can't even walk steadily. Nowadays, noble ladies in Beijing put their feet more. A few people slowly let their feet go.

Daiyu happily told Yingchun Xichun about this, with a bright smile on her face, Yingchun was happy at first, but then hesitated, Xichun agreed without saying much.

Since the family sent them to the Lin Mansion, the Jia Mansion, full of gold and jade, has nothing to do with them anymore. Even as Yingchun grows up day by day, the old lady who often sends letters never mentions her marriage. However, one of my uncle's concubines asked her quietly a few times. Not long after she let go, my uncle found a poor but very motivated student for her to make a marriage contract. She met twice behind the curtain, but she didn't dare After looking more, I can vaguely feel that he is a handsome and gentle young man.

Since then, Yingchun has been wholeheartedly preparing for marriage. Now that her uncle is going to the capital, what should she do?

Daiyu couldn't help laughing when she heard Yingchun's worries, and said, "Only your husband doesn't want to take the exam in the capital? Wouldn't it be better to wait for him to be named on the gold list?"

Yingchun blushed and refused to talk to Daiyu again.

It was Xichun who thought about it and said, "Baoyu's subject is coming to an end again. Did he go to Beijing with us? It's half a year too early."

What Xichun was talking about was of course Tongshengshi.

The style of study in Jianghuai was very prosperous, and ordinary students from the north would not dare to say that they could pass the Jianghuai children's examination. If he could pass the exam, the Jia family had already received Lin Ruhai's letter, and Baoyu was not allowed to go home. If he failed the exam, it was difficult to get into the family. After Baoyu came back, he became seriously ill and lost weight.

Three years ago, when Baoyu Jingyi hadn’t finished reading that subject, Lin Ruhai didn’t expect him to pass it, but just wanted him to get off the court to feel the atmosphere. Now that three years have passed, if he fails this subject again, Lin Ruhai doesn’t want to say what.

While the Lin family was packing their bags, Wang Shouren was also packing his things and preparing to go back to his hometown to take the township exam. His household registration is in Yuyao, which is in the area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. It is the nightmare exam area for all students. When he took the children's exam before, he was still a poor student. Thirdly, when he takes the test now, although he doesn't have the confidence to be among the best, he still feels that this subject should be stable.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment took office two years ago. Originally, it was Li Che's turn to be promoted in terms of fame and practicality, but Emperor Chenghua still felt that it was not appropriate to hand over the position of Shangshu to a young official in his early thirties. The court added an official position, which was counted as appeasement.

The path Li Che wants to take is quite different from before, and this has no effect on him.

When Li Ning was ten years old, her bones were almost exhausted. She has been practicing internal strength for more than two years, but I don't know if Li Che is not used to it or something. Li Che always feels that Li Ning looks different from before. up.

A few lifetimes ago, when they were still a couple of children, Li Che always remembered that Li Ning had a yellow face, was thin and short, although it didn't affect her natural appearance much, but how could she be as white and tender as she is now, tall? good?

Li Che always felt that his younger sister was much prettier than before.

Wang Shouren thought so too.

Two or three years ago, he was still able to play tricks on Ah Ning, deliberately arguing with her, making her happy and making her laugh. I don't know when it started, just like when he was five years old, he suddenly opened his dumb orifices. Dare to go to see Li Ning, and if he said a word to her, his face would blush and his heart would beat, and he would even stutter. Sometimes he and Ah Ning were alone, and there was no one around, so he would not look up for a long time, just talking in a daze. nonsense.

Wang Shouren's mind was always bright. When he was not facing Li Ning, he analyzed everything very thoroughly. He knew that he was being shy. He thought there was nothing to be ashamed of. A man should say something, tell each other bluntly, and lie in bed at night. When in bed, I will teach myself to practice in order to make myself perform better.

However, when he saw people the next day, he turned into a piece of wood that could only talk nonsense.

This is about one thing down one thing.

It was not until before leaving that Wang Shouren made up his mind to go to Li's house. Last year, Xiangling married a young squire, and Li Ning had two young girls by his side. Seeing Wang Shouren coming in, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. : "Young master is here!"

A little girl ran in a hurry, tripped over the threshold, and was about to plunge into Wang Shouren's arms, when suddenly a wooden knife hilt lay between them, and with the heavy force of the knife handle, the little girl immediately Just stand still.

Li Ning wasn't even in the courtyard before, if he hadn't seen her elusive martial arts many times with his own eyes, Wang Shouren might have hiccupped for three days in fright like the old man he saw last time.

The twelve or thirteen-year-old girl was dressed in light clothes that were easy to move around, and the short knife she used to wield turned into a wooden long knife. When she raised her eyes, she smiled a lot and called out softly, "Ah Yun!"

Wang Shouren's face became hot, and a familiar feeling of about to talk nonsense surged up, he suppressed it forcibly, he coughed lightly, and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow."

Li Ning paused and nodded slightly.

Wang Shouren said again: "I have something to tell you."

Li Ning pulled him to a corner of the yard. The two yards were about the same size. Wang's house was a rockery with cold plum blossoms, but Li's house was filled with exotic flowers and weeds. Even in winter, there were flowers blooming. If it was placed in another house, it would look a little gorgeous Yes, but Li Ning, the host who often comes to the courtyard, is just right.

Flower beauties are even more beautiful.

Wang Shouren's words suddenly got stuck in his throat after practicing for two hours last night.

Li Ning blinked her eyes, and simply asked herself: "You came to see me, do you want to talk to me?"

Wang Shouren nodded dryly.

Li Ning said again: "But if you stand here like this, I can't guess what you want to say."

Wang Shouren's face was so hot that he didn't know where to look. When he glanced, he saw Li Ning's smiling eyes.

She clearly understood, but he must say it himself.

When Wang Shouren was thinking this way, his heart, which had been beating desperately, suddenly eased, but the enthusiasm on his face became heavier. He stammered a word, took a deep breath, and said, "I want to go back The township exam is over, if you pass this subject, you will take the exam next year, if you pass the exam, you will be the palace exam, if you pass the palace exam..."

As he was speaking, his voice suddenly became louder, and he looked into Li Ning's eyes and said, "Under the gold list, does Ah Ning plan to catch me?"

Li Ning only guessed that he wanted to show his intentions, but she didn't want to say that like a female bandit kidnapping her husband. She couldn't help laughing and said, "What if you don't pass the exam? I'll catch someone else?"

Wang Shouren calmed down after saying the words, his ears were red, and he said embarrassedly: "If I fail the exam, I will wait another three years and take the exam again. If I don't pass the exam after three years, I will take the exam again. I will definitely pass the exam." Ask to marry, ask to marry..."

Li Ning looked at Wang Shouren, her expression didn't change much, she still smiled, and said slowly: "I don't know what your family means, the scientific examination is meaningless to me, it doesn't matter if you are the number one scholar, or you don't get in." Well, I don't care, marriage is a matter between two people, and has nothing to do with these."

The first time Wang Shouren heard Li Ning say such words, he was a little stunned. After a while, he suddenly said, "I was wrong."

Li Ning looked at him and asked, "Where did you go wrong?"

Wang Shouren let out a long breath and said: "Although scientific research is important, people should not put scientific research first in everything, study for scientific research, give up hobbies for scientific research, and turn yourself into a tool for scientific research. Although I always warn myself not to fall into deep traps, my heart will inevitably be affected, I was wrong, my failure in the high school entrance examination has nothing to do with marriage, even if I get a title on the gold list, I shouldn't use it to propose marriage."

Li Ning smiled lightly and said, "Why can't you always let me lose my temper?"

Wang Shouren was taken aback.

Li Ning stretched out her hand. Although Wang Shouren didn't know what she was going to do, she still lowered her head cooperatively, and then her ears were pinched. The little girl's voice was warm and soft, but her strength was not weak at all, "If I There are many champions in the world, but you, Wang Shouren, are the only ones who are good? The exam is the exam. What does it matter to me if you fail? Come see me when the exam is over!"

At first, Wang Shouren felt that his ear was being pinched and hurt, but when he was released, he saw that Li Ning's cheeks were reddish, her eyes were like autumn water, and she immediately forgot the pain.

A flexible mind told him that Ah Ning did not mean nothing to him.

Wang Shouren came out of Li's house with trembling steps, almost tripped, his ears still hurt faintly, but the throbbing in his heart completely covered up the pain, this feeling of connecting with the one he admired was so beautiful that it was unimaginable, even He thought, if it could make Ah Ning happy, a few more twists would be enough.

It would be better if she smiled again, even if she wringed his ear off.
