Passing through the corridor, Li Cheng stood outside the study door and waited for the servants to come in to report. He unconsciously touched the book in his sleeve with his right hand, and his heartbeat was a little rapid due to nervousness.

He came from a poor family. Although he was a Tanhualang last year, and now he has a seniority in the Imperial Academy, he is still a head shorter than Zhang Yuliang and other famous nobles. This shows the deep-rooted family status of the Yong Dynasty.

However, Li Cheng will not feel sorry for himself because of this.

People cannot choose their origin, but they can decide the future they want to fight for.He seeks money and power with a clear purpose, so his mentality will naturally be calm, and he will not imitate those sour scholars who make useless cynical sighs.

His nervousness has its roots elsewhere.

The informant came out soon, and respectfully invited Li Cheng in.Li Cheng nodded in thanks, then straightened his clothes and strode into the room.

At that time, Zhang Yuliang was hugging Cheng Dan and leading him to play the piano. The reason was that Cheng Dan became interested in the guqin on the couch and fiddled with it casually. This scene happened to be seen by Zhang Yuliang, so he In the name of "teaching", he teased Cheng Dan with the piano that he usually regards as a treasure.

He would not hesitate to give Cheng Dan the priceless jade bi, not to mention a mere guqin.For Zhang Yuliang, the ultimate cat slave, as long as his family is happy, he can give whatever he wants.

Cheng Dan was used to Zhang Yuliang pampering him, so he meowed at him perfunctorily, and then focused all his attention on the Guqin, which he had never touched before.

The guqin has seven strings, the whole body is introverted black, the body is slender, the shape is simple and simple, the clear and clear strings sound like the sound of Lingling water, even a cat like Cheng Dan who doesn't know how to play the piano can see its value, so he claws Be extra careful.

Raising his claws to lightly rest on the piano pillar, Cheng Dan stretched his neck to look, and tentatively stretched out a claw to hook the string closest to him.

The tough touch came from the pads, followed by a short and clear voice. Cheng Dan shook his ears, feeling quite novel, so he hooked it again.

Zhang Yuliang waved back the hesitant maid, and watched him tossing his Aiqin with a smile.

Cheng Dan plucked it a few times. Although he hadn't lost interest in the guqin, his claws were so painful from the strings that he had to stop temporarily.

"Meow!" He turned his head to look at Zhang Yuliang, and passed one of his front paws confidently.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuliang took him into his arms understandingly, gently massaged his two paws, and said while rubbing: "The strings are tough, and most people who learn the piano are like you when they first learn. I feel pain in my hand when I put it down. Only after years of fingering practice can thick calluses be formed on the fingertips, and a piece of music can be played completely and smoothly."

Zhang Yuliang's voice is better than the string tone, and the tones turn and the tone fluctuate gracefully. Even if Cheng Dan is not interested in the topic he is talking about, he still listens with gusto.

However, his next sentence made Cheng Dan couldn't help wrinkling his chubby cat face.

"Of course, I'm talking about the majority of people. There are still a small number of geniuses who can play melodious tunes even if they don't have calluses on their fingers, even if they don't practice the fingering techniques summed up by the predecessors." Squeezing Cheng Dan's flesh pad After a kiss, Zhang Yuliang smiled and said, "For example, me."

Cheng Dan withdrew his paw, and when he turned around, he did not forget to give him a big white eye.It's a pity that his pupils are bigger than the whites of his eyes, and he rolled his eyes with a cute arrogance. Instead of conveying his disdain to Zhang Yuliang, it made Zhang Yuliang smile even brighter.

Just when Zhang Yuliang wanted to hug him and be intimate with him for a while, Li Cheng walked in untimely.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhang Yuliang straightened his expression, quickly adjusted his crooked posture on the couch to a straight sitting posture, took advantage of the opportunity to put Cheng Dan on his lap, and dropped his wide cuffs to cover him.

After finishing this series of flowing movements, Li Cheng just walked up to him, and with a sincere smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhang."

Zhang Yuliang, who was lying on Cheng Dan's lap, was inconvenient to get up, so he raised his hand and bowed back: "Brother Li, please sit down."

Although he felt slighted in his reply, Li Cheng was not annoyed, and sat down opposite Zhang Yuliang without changing his expression.

The maidservant who stood by brought the hot tea that had been prepared, and put down a hand stove and a brazier by Li Cheng's hands.They didn't bow and leave until everything was arranged and the courtesy was done.

Li Cheng looked around without any trace, his eyes stayed on the guqin for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang was playing the piano just now?"

Zhang Yuliang shook his head: "This piano was a gift from the elders, I haven't played it yet, I just simply tuned it down."

"Although I don't know much about Guqin, I can see that this Qin is a rare and fine product. Unfortunately, this Qin is not enough to match Brother Zhang's piano skills." After Li Cheng praised him, he thought for a while, and then proposed : "There is a guqin master in the 'Luyinfang' in the east of the city. He specially made guqins for masters like Brother Zhang. The violins he makes are much better than those sold in the shop. have a look."

Zhang Yuliang took a sip of tea, and didn't pretend to be modest because of his praise, just smiled and said: "Thank you brother Li for the recommendation, Yuliang will definitely go after Chunwei."

Hearing the word "Chunwei", Li Cheng's eyes lit up: "At this time, it will be only three or four months before next year's Chunwei, how is Brother Zhang preparing?"

"Fair." Zhang Yuliang replied two words, perhaps because he felt that what he said was too simple, so he added: "Except for policy theory, most of the other subjects have been reviewed, no matter how you test Yuliang, you will know the bottom line. "

"Brother Zhang has a talent of three yuan and first grade, and now that he has just passed the autumn exam, he has almost prepared the content of next year's exam." Li Cheng deliberately laughed at himself, "In this way, the questions I asked for Brother Zhang may be It's useless."

Zhang Yuliang raised her eyebrows in surprise: "The title?"

Li Cheng nodded, took out a thin booklet from his sleeve and pushed it in front of him, explaining: "When I checked the scriptures, I made good friends with some colleagues. I was assigned to sort out the test questions over the years, and I have a deep understanding of the scope of the spring test questions. I got a copy of the questions they sorted out from them, and I wanted to give it to Brother Zhang for reference. Now it seems that Brother Zhang may not be able to use it. .”

Under Zhang Yuliang's sleeve, Cheng Dan heard a hint of conspiracy from his pretended sincere words, wanted to remind Zhang Yuliang, but didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuliang is not a fool, he will not fail to feel things that Cheng Dan can detect.

However, since Li Cheng was recommended by Mr. Wang to be acquainted with, and Li Cheng's reasons for sending the questions were so legitimate that he could not refuse, so he accepted the brochure first, and was ready to see the tricks.

"Thank you, Brother Li, this test question is of great use to me, so I will be disrespectful." Zhang Yuliang picked up the book and pretended to read it, but secretly noticed Li Cheng's reaction from the corner of his eye.

Li Cheng was young after all, even though he tried his best to suppress it, there was still a bit of joy unconsciously in his eyes, revealing his true thoughts.

There are indeed ghosts!

Zhang Yuliang stroked the edge of the paper with his fingers, intending to study the test questions carefully after Li Cheng left.

Having achieved his goal, Li Cheng didn't stay any longer, chatted with Zhang Yuliang for a while, and then left with the excuse that he didn't want to disturb his homework study.

Zhang Yuliang didn't hold back either, and asked the maid to send him out, while she picked up the book again.

Cheng Dan got out from under his sleeve and jumped onto the table, stretched his buttocks, then walked to his hand with his tail down and lay down, pawing at his hand that was flipping the pages of the book.

Zhang Yuliang looked helplessly at Mao Tuan, who wanted to join in all the excitement, and put the brochure on the table so that he could see it too.

As a result, one person and one cat entered the wise mode of concentrating on studying the test questions.

However, Cheng Dan, who became dizzy after reading a few pages, quickly switched to sage mode again, resting his chin on Zhang Yuliang's wrist, half-closed his eyes and pretended to be watching, but was actually taking the opportunity to take a nap.

Zhang Yuliang smiled and turned the page with another hand.

The booklet is very thin, with a total of eleven pages. Zhang Yuliang read it back and forth several times but could not see any mystery hidden in it.

There are not many test questions, mainly post scriptures and essays, and there are only three test questions.One is from "Shang Shu" and two are from "The Analects of Confucius". The angles are quite novel.And I don't know who wrote the answer, the argument is clear and at the same time brilliant, no matter which examiner you ask it to read, it will be selected as the best.

Leaving aside the purpose of Li Cheng's presentation of the test questions, Zhang Yuliang has benefited a lot from reading the whole book.In particular, the "Shangshu" trial strategy question made him see a new angle to study "Shangshu", which was an invaluable inspiration for him who had vaguely touched the bottleneck in his study of "Shangshu".

But why did Li Cheng send him this booklet?

Zhang Yuliang thought hard, only felt a ray of spiritual light flickering in his mind, but he couldn't touch it or grasp it.

Except that the test questions in the booklet are all new questions, not the previous year's questions that Li Cheng said, what else... huh?

Zhang Yuliang seemed to have grabbed Ling Guang's tail.

Even though the booklet is full of new questions, why did Li Cheng tell such a lie that can be easily broken?No, no, Li Cheng didn't say that the topics in the book were old ones from previous years, only that they were sorted out by his colleagues.But so what?It's just a few topics, what can he write in it?

Zhang Yuliang vaguely grasped the thread of Li Cheng's train of thought, and was only short of a quick reminder.

At this time, Cheng Dan, who had fallen asleep in a daze, sank his head, and his chin hit the page, pressing down on a word.

Zhang Yuliang was worried that he was in pain from knocking, so she put away her thoughts for a while, picked him up and rubbed his chin, glanced at the words he knocked on from the corner of her eye, and her expression suddenly became concentrated.

That is a "fraud" word, fraudulent fraud.

The blocked thoughts were unblocked in an instant, and Zhang Yuliang figured everything out.

Smiling happily, he hugged the sleepy Cheng Dan and kissed his forehead forcefully, saying, "Tuantuan, you are really my little lucky star!"

After finishing speaking, she put him down and hurried out, not forgetting to tell the maidservant to take care of him before leaving.

Cheng Dan was stunned.

who I am?where am iwhat am i doingWhy am I awake?

Well, it must all be the fault of the stupid master!

Cheng Dan opened his mouth and yawned.

……

After Zhang Yuliang left, he didn't come back until after dinner time.Although Cheng Dan was a little worried, he believed that he could handle his own affairs well, so he didn't think much about it.

In fact, it's useless to think about it, he is now a cat and not a human.What's more, when he was still a human, his IQ was no higher than Zhang Yuliang's.

Cheng Dan cared more about what Zhang Yuliang was doing than what Zhang Yuliang was doing.He no longer needs to be afraid of Zhang Yuliang finding out that something is wrong, as long as he pays attention to avoiding the maidservant outside the door, he can do whatever he wants.

So, he jumped off the soft couch, stepped on the table and used his strength to jump up to the window sill, relying on his pure black fur to perfectly blend into the night, he slipped out of the study majestically under the eyes of the two maidservants.

Xu Shi inherited the cat's curiosity after becoming a cat. Cheng Dan, who had been confined in the room for several months, always wanted to go out for a walk.

You don't need Zhang Yuliang to accompany you, you are alone... the kind with a cat.

Zhang Yuliang is a good master, he never even considers himself a master, and treats Cheng Dan very well, so Cheng Dan doesn't hate him.It's just that cats are wild by nature, and Cheng Dan is a free-spirited person. Although he is not rebellious, he still needs private time occasionally.

He had already made up his mind, so he wandered around the study room and returned in an hour at most.

With his tail raised, Cheng Dan trotted forward along the straight corridor, calmly fading into the night.

An hour later, Cheng Dan squatted in the middle of the corridor, looking blankly at the fork in front of him.

who I am?where am iWhat is this place?

It shouldn't be, when he ran over just now, there was obviously no fork in the road!

Turning around in place a few times, Cheng Dan looked at the three roads that looked exactly the same in front of him, and decided to choose one at random, but was afraid of going to a more unfamiliar place.That's all, if he meets someone on the way and is found to have a cat in Tahongxuan, then he can die on the spot.

What now?How about...stay where you are and wait for Zhang Yuliang to come over?

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have sneaked out QAQ Cheng Dan wanted to cry but had no tears.

It happened that a gust of cold wind blew by, blowing his hair all over his body.He couldn't help but sneezed, and tremblingly found a corner, curled up in a ball, and called Zhang Yuliang's name in a meowing tone.

"Meow..." Zhang Yuliang.

"Mi woo..." Zhang Yuliang.

"Meow..." Zhang Yuliang.

"Mi..." When will you find me...

Surrounded by cold and darkness, Cheng Dan's body trembled slightly, both because of the cold and fear.

Before, he had never known that the night was so terrible.

On the other side, Zhang Yuliang immediately went to the study to look for Cheng Dan as soon as he came back to Hongxuan, but no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find Tuantuan who would lie on the bed and wait for him obediently on weekdays, and all kinds of bad guesses flooded his mind .

If it weren't for the maids who assured the heavens and the earth that no one had come, he would have had the heart to post the cat hunting notice overnight.

After reprimanding the maidservants guarding Cheng Dan, Zhang Yuliang suppressed his anger and anxiety, barely calmed down, and then mobilized all the servants, ordering them to turn Cheng Dan upside down even if they turned Ta Hongxuan upside down. find out.

Not only that, he couldn't sit still, and he personally participated in the cat hunting operation, searching every corner near the study.

Just when Zhang Yuliang was startled and frightened, exhausted physically and mentally, there was a pitiful meowing in the wind.

These cat meows are like torches in the dark night, lighting up Zhang Yuliang's gloomy eyes, making him ignore the servants behind him, and directly use his lightness kung fu to rush to the source of the sound. After a while, he is like a god descending to earth He appeared in front of Cheng Dan who was shivering from the cold.

"Meow!"

Seeing Zhang Yuliang, Cheng Dan, whose eyes were blackened from the cold, didn't even have time to think about whether he was hallucinating, and without hesitation, a fierce tiger leaped into his warm embrace, and did not forget to scream aggrieved after the leap Several times, accusing him of coming so late.

Zhang Yuliang talked with his father for half a day, and then searched for him for a long time, tired and anxious, and was sued by his evil cat first.

Embracing the lost and recovered little hairball tightly, Zhang Yuliang rubbed his head, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he found that his whole body was cold, and his heart ached immediately.

Normally, Cheng Dan would be frightened for a long time when there was even a little wind blowing, for fear that he would catch a cold.The wind has been blowing for so long tonight, and my body is so cold, I don't know how much I have suffered before.

"You, you... are still wronged, let's see if you dare to run around in the future!" After all, Zhang Yuliang was reluctant to scold him, kissed his head, and then put him in his collar to warm him, "Okay, we Let's go back."

Huddled in Zhang Yuliang's arms, Cheng Dan's nearly frozen body was gradually warmed by his body temperature, and the unconscious shaking of his body also calmed down.

Rubbing Zhang Yuliang's chest, Cheng Dan raised his head and meowed softly at him. All the uneasiness, fear and cold that had been bred from the long wait disappeared, leaving only a full sense of warmth and security.

It's great to have Zhang Yuliang here, meow~
