Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Although the other four people didn't realize that there was something wrong with the leisurely silk bamboo and low-pitched singing, they were used to only follow Lu Ci's lead, so they gave up exploring and followed Lu Ci, who quickened his pace, and quickly walked across the long street. .

Zhu said that he vaguely guessed how much.

As he got to know Brother Yu Yu more and more, in his impression, the person who could change the face of the other party who didn't even feel nervous or oppressive when taking the test, except for the food, I'm afraid the only one who composed lyrics and music such as eating and drinking Liu Qirou is as relaxed as water.

When Lu Ci quickly dodged Liu Qi, who always used the melodious music as the background music, and led his four friends back home, he was held by the Zhong family's parents who had been waiting at the door for a long time. Thank you for a long time.

As parents, they couldn't be more clear about Zhong Yuan's temperament and how much ink he has in his belly.

He is stubborn, and sometimes he will not listen to how he fights. After getting married, he settled down for a while, but after all, his playfulness has not disappeared, and he is not very sensible.

No, on weekdays, when Lu Ci led Zhu Shuo'an to study in the house all day with peace of mind, his own son was avoiding him and was very ignorant of good and bad, which made them helpless.

Even so, just relying on the little bit of Lu Ci's talent that he usually has, he can still make the stupid son with a yumu head understand!

No matter how Lu Ci refused to accept their thanks, and repeatedly explained that Zhong Yuan could only rely on his strength, but whether it was the parents of the Zhong family or Zhong Yuan, who had developed a deep awe of Lu Ci, they could not say a single word. Unbelievable.

Lu Ci refused to go, and only accepted their gratitude dumbfoundedly, which made the Zhong family feel a little relieved, and went back to the house to take care of their son to wash and rest.

After receiving the report from the clever man, Mother Lu immediately closed the bedding, led two maids to boil hot water for four people, prepared clean clothes and put them aside, and put them on the table in the bedroom, ready for people to eat. A variety of dim sum with your index finger.

What Lu Ci was most satisfied with was that his caring mother not only specially prepared an ice basin in his room to cool off the heat, but also a large bowl of mango-flavored sorbet...

After taking a comfortable bath and changing into scented clothes, Lu Ci scooped up half-melted sorbet and tasted it, while leisurely enjoying the long hair that the envoy wrung out for him and then gently bundled up. Serve.

——This is his ideal life.

However, this is not the time to sleep peacefully.

Lu Ci's mentality has always been stable, and he can sleep soundly even during the days of the exam, not to mention that in his opinion, he is completely eating and drinking, chatting, and only waiting for the announcement of the exam these days.

He didn't experience the torment of waiting for the result at all, but while making many new friends, he made the best use of the limited ingredients in the small kitchen in the Gongyuan.

So at this time, I didn't feel how tired I was, so I just took the gift I had prepared before, and I was going to go up the mountain with Zhu Shuo and Yi Shu to visit the tutor.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the gate, he heard the commotion outside.

After people went out to inquire about the situation, they realized that Mr. Li and the others had come in person.

Lu Ci was taken aback, and hurried out to greet him: "Why are you here in person, gentlemen? I am going to the academy with Brother Zhu and Brother Yi to visit the gentlemen."

Li Fuzi looked at him with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "After hearing the good news that the proud disciple was born to understand Yuan, how can I sit still?"

He waited for the results to be announced these days, and he could hardly sleep or eat. When he was teaching other people, he was more or less out of his mind.

When he learned that his favorite student, Lu Ci, had won Xie Yuan's glory in one go, he was so excited that he was so proud that his beard was blowing upwards, and he laughed out loud on the spot speak out.

——Under his hands, he finally taught a solution!

Most importantly, this is what his most beloved disciple got!

Master Li vaguely guessed that Lu Ci would definitely visit him after resting at home.

But he was reluctant to make his beloved disciples go back and forth to work hard. After he got such great news, he couldn't sit still for a while, so he simply borrowed the principal's carriage and took Master Yang and Liu who were also excited. Together with the master, the three of them went down the mountain together and went straight to Lu Ci's house.

"Okay, okay," Master Li held Lu Ci's hands tightly, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of joy, but when he spoke, he couldn't help sobbing because of his excitement: "I knew that the appearance of a feathered dragon and a phoenix is ​​definitely not the one in the pool." thing!"

Master Yang couldn't help being overjoyed, and said flatteredly: "In the future, I will also be able to say to the outside world that I have taught Jie Yuan from my subordinates!"

Haha, it can be regarded as showing off with those old guys!

Mrs. Liu took a step too late, and was robbed of the best position and what he wanted to say. After holding back for a long time, he finally said: "...Stop arrogance and impetuosity, and strive for the middle of the spring and win the province."

Li Fuzi was still secretly wiping away his tears, but when he heard the words, he gave him a merciless look, and plausibly said: "Xiao Langjun, you should be happy when you should be happy, and you should be proud when you should be proud. If it is you, you have to understand Yuan. I'm afraid it's not as stable as Yu Yu's one-tenth at this time! Why are you teaching me a lesson? Disappointing!"

It's only been a little over an hour since the release of the list, and there are still three or four months before Chunwei, so why rush!

Besides, Lu Ci is usually his darling, the treasure in his eyes.This time he was still so competitive, obviously it was only the first time he was off the court, and he won the position of Jie Yuan in one fell swoop, which greatly added to his face.

It's the time of joy when you put people in your mouth and you're afraid of melting them. How can Master Liu teach you a random lesson?

Master Liu was speechless.

However, at the critical moment, Master Yang also fought against the enemy, and said fiercely: "If I knew you can't speak like this, I shouldn't have brought you down!"

Master Liu was about to cry, but he didn't dare to speak.

Lu Ci was moved and funny at the same time, so he hurried out to smooth things over, and only then did Master Liu break free from this embarrassing and regretful situation.

After the three masters held Lu Ci's hand one by one, they first expressed their strong joy tearfully like a child, and then gave a good meal of encouragement to Zhu, who was also ranked in the top three and made them face a lot, and then After a few words of praise to Yi Shu who performed well...

Teng Zongliang also went to say hello with a smile, but only got a perfunctory sentence from Master Li: "That's very good, write to your father quickly, let him know about it earlier."

The corner of Teng Zongliang's mouth twitched: This difference in treatment is too big.

After all, I am also the son of this master's old friend!

It's a pity that he was the only one who didn't quite get used to it, and the others had long been accustomed to not talking about it, and took it for granted.

Master Li reluctantly held Lu Ci's hand and said a few more words before he remembered something and casually added to Teng Zongliang: "Since the exam is over, I should go home earlier."

To save himself from staying at Lu's house all day long, and bothering his precious student Lu Jieyuan when he has nothing to do.

Teng Zongliang's face was numb: "...Understood."

After the three masters stayed at home and had a sumptuous lunch, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, and Lu Ci also smiled, and personally sent the three masters back to the academy.

After Yi Shu's excitement passed, he also belatedly realized that he still had a family waiting, so he hurriedly left.

Teng Zongliang's joy at being relieved for the second time was completely wiped out by Mrs. Li's dismissive attitude, and he let people go to the pier to buy a boat ticket, and he really planned to go home tonight.

So when Lu Ci turned back, he saw Liu Qi, dressed in bright clothes, smiling and talking to Lu's mother while lying on the rocking chair swinging a folding fan.

To be honest, he left the Lu family only in the last few months, and after living for nearly two years, Mother Lu naturally couldn't keep him out of the house, and welcomed him in with great surprise.

Liu Qi seems to be suave, unrestrained and unrestrained, but he is actually very delicate-even though he has been back to Mizhou for a while, but after Lu Ci and Zhu Shuo were both admitted to the Tribute Academy, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not step into the palace where only Lu's mother was. Half a step with the Lu family of the servant girls.

Now that Lu Ci had returned home, he naturally bid farewell to his friends who took him in these days, as if the ban had been lifted, and came home happily.

You don't even have to bring luggage.After all, in the room where he often lives, there are a lot of ready-made ones.

Lu Ci: "..."

Liu Qi glimpsed Lu Ci's figure out of the corner of his eye, leaned forward with a smile, stood up from the rocking chair, and teased loudly: "My brother Yu Yu, my family Lu Jieyuan, is finally back!"

Lu Ci deeply understood what it means to be able to run away, but the monk can't run away from the temple.

After hearing the title 'Lu Jieyuan' which gave him a headache all morning, his head became even bigger.

Thanks to the people around me who proudly opened their mouths 'Lu Jieyuan' and shut their mouths 'Lu Jieyuan', it was only a matter of blowing gongs and drums to advertise to the world, and the blessing of such hard-working publicity caused mere two hours to pass. People who don't care will inevitably know who Xin Jieyuan is.

Lu Ci winked at Zhu Shuo calmly, and very naturally took Liu Qi, a dangerous person, away from his mother: "Go back to the room and talk."

Liu Qi didn't doubt that he was there, and happily followed him.

When Lu Ci closed the door, he said complacently: "That day when Lu Jieyuan entered the Tribute Academy, there is really no need to be too impatient, half a quarter earlier and half a quarter later, isn't it all the same? Why don't you listen to what I wrote for you? It’s good to bring back my heart to cheer for you. But it’s not too late now.”

Lu Ci frowned.

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Just now Lu Jieyuan hurried past the downstairs where I lived temporarily. I haven't changed my clothes yet. I won't have time to call you in the future. I just happened to know about the happy event of you getting rid of your head. I got a little inspiration, so I composed another song "" Yu and Lu Yuyu have known each other for a long time. Because of avoiding interpretation, I missed the witness. Lu Dexie Yuan regretted that he wrote a poem to send it off. It is not a day since you met the king, and the brushwork is elegant and recognizable~”

He just read a few words with emotion, and Lu Ci stood up expressionlessly, not flattering him: "You sit on your own, and Brother Zhu and I will go back to our room to rest first, and we won't accompany you."

Liu Qi pretended to be pitiful and said: "Wait a minute, Lu Jieyuan might as well listen to it first. If you don't like it, I can change it now."

Rao Lu Ci is quite powerful, and he thinks he is not thin-skinned, so he can't hold on at this time.

He couldn't bear it and asked: "When will you stop calling me Jieyuan?"

Liu Qi took it for granted, "Of course it's when you win the provincial dollar."

Lu Ci: "..."

The author has something to say: Notes:

1. The title of the poem written by Liu Yong in that article was adapted by me from the extremely long title of the poem written by Su Shi to his beloved Six Gentlemen of Sumen I am ashamed to write a poem to send it"

The first two sentences are also derived from this poem

2. In fact, at that time, Xie Yuan could just be a more respectful title for scholars in official documents, and it didn't necessarily mean that the other party had achieved this achievement. "Song Dynasty Imperial Examination Society"
