[The Legend of Zhen Huan] Rebirth of An Lingrong

There is a tree named Osmanthus osmanthus, which is fragrant in all seasons.The flowers are snowy at night, and the leaves are green in spring.

The wind and shadow are as clear as water, and the frosty branches are as cold as jade.Occupying the secluded hills, no birds are allowed to stay. "—Bai Juyi's "You Wood" It's night, Ling Rong sits alone in front of the window, blowing a faint breeze, smelling the sweet osmanthus fragrance, feeling the silence of the night, but my heart can't calm down.

Today is the thirteenth day of the eighth month, and the day after tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Ling Rong is not in the mood for festive celebrations, because tomorrow is the last exam of the society.From the [-]th to the [-]th, it was only three days. My brother Han Chuang studied hard for ten years, and it was only for these few days.

Alas, I don't know what happened to my brother, but did I eat and sleep well?Everyone said that the conditions in the Gongyuan were difficult, and many students were exhausted before they finished their exams. Every year, how many students left with high hopes but returned with nothing.The imperial examination is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. It is so difficult. I only hope that my brother will be well.Ling Rong was thinking wildly.

After a while, Ling Rong's thoughts drifted to Ling Yong again.Ling Yong's martial arts exam has long been over, and the results will be released around the end of August and early September; according to Ling Yong himself, his performance in the outfield exam can definitely be among the best, and the exam questions in the infield exam have also been practiced by Lexus for him, so he can probably memorize them. It should be no problem to be a child in the exam.No, once the exam is over, he wanders around like a wild horse again, and is rarely at home.Ling Rong has nothing to do about this, he can only let him mess around.

At the west tip of the moon, it is already the third watch, and the mausoleum is still sleepless. The long night does not know when it will end.Just like the countless silent and dry nights in the Forbidden City, she couldn't see the way to the future, only hesitation and fear accompanied her.No, no, everything is different, she is no longer that An Lingrong who has nothing!She has a mother, an older brother, younger siblings, and a bright future. She will definitely have a bright future!Will!

Ling Rong didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already high in the sun, and he was wrapped in a thin quilt, which was warm.

"Miss, are you awake? Hurry up and wash up and eat something. If you still want to sleep, wait until you have something to sleep." Qingyu came in with a set of toiletries, nagging.

"Qingyu, what time is it?" Ling Rong asked while washing his face.

"It's time just now, but miss is still sleepy?" Qingyu asked while combing her hair.

"It's already so late? Why didn't you wake me up?" Ling Rong frowned.

"Miss went to bed so late last night, the maid was afraid that if she got up too early, her complexion would be bad, and Madam would be worried again, so she didn't dare to wake her up." Qingyu said in a low voice.

"This is not an example. Alright, pack it up quickly, I'm going to pay my respects to my grandmother and mother." Ling Rong waved his hand and stopped pursuing it.

When Ling Rong arrived at the "Deping Hall", he found that the Fang family was also there, and Ling Rong greeted him one by one, and took his seat.The three of them were talking and laughing to discuss tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and they all avoided the Lexus test intentionally or unintentionally.

This time, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet was much more deserted than before. Ling Zhi was still in the test, Bai Shi and An Linglong were grounded, and everyone just had dinner together and then separated.

Tomorrow, the test will end.

On August [-], at the State Gongyuan.The third session of the general examination was about to end, and many people had already gathered in front of the gate of the Tribute Court, all of whom were family members or servants of the examinees.Candidates came out of the tribute courtyard one after another, all of them were pale, and the difference was in the spirit, relaxed, decadent, or confused.

When Ling Zhi walked out of the examination room, it was already two o'clock, and the sun had already risen high.Ling Zhi, who hadn't seen the sun for more than two days, was a little uncomfortable, and subconsciously raised his hand to block the sun. The book boy Ximo who had been waiting for a long time ran over and helped Ling Zhi into the carriage.

"Master, I received a family letter from Miss yesterday, do you want to read it now, Master?" Xi Mo asked.

"Bring it." Ling Zhi rubbed his sore brows, and took the letter from Xi Mo.

Ling Rong didn't ask about Ling Zhi's exam in the letter, but simply talked about some family affairs, and asked when Ling Zhi would return home.When Ling Zhi returned to the house, he picked up his pen and began to write letters home.

The test will be released in September, and there is still about half a month left. It still takes three or four days to go back and forth between Chuzhou and Songyang County.So Ling Zhi didn't intend to toss back and forth, he planned to wait until the rankings were released before going home.And like Lexus, there are many candidates from other counties, and most of them have not left. Staying here can exchange ideas with other students, which will be of great benefit to the future.

Ling Zhi slept hard for a day before he felt completely alive.After packing himself up, Ling Zhi went to the very famous "Jidi Building" in Chuzhou alone, where scholars gathered, and many students talked there every day.

On the other hand, Ling Rong received Ling Zhi's letter from home, and knew that Ling Zhi would not return home until the ranking was released, and he always felt a little uneasy.Although Ling Zhi brought a lot of money when he left home, the "Luming Banquet" will be held in the governor's office of each province on the second day after the ranking is released. At that time, the examiners, supervisors, Xuezheng inner and outer curtain officials and new imperial examination candidates will all participate. These people all need to establish a good relationship; it is the same after the "Luming Banquet", and entertainment of one kind or another is indispensable.Ling Rong thought about it and decided to go to Chuzhou himself.

"Rong'er, have you thought about it? Chuzhou is still more than a day away from Songyang County, and you have never traveled far. This is too dangerous!" Fang looked at Lingrong worriedly.

"Mother, the one-day journey is not far away. Besides, An Fu and Nanny will accompany me, so nothing will happen." Ling Rong reassured.

"Ruozhu, let Rong'er go. With Rong'er by his side, Zhi'er can be more relaxed." An's mother thought for a while and agreed.

"Mother... this..." Fang hesitated. She was worried about Ling Zhi, but she didn't want Ling Rong to take risks. For her, the palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh.

"Mother, don't worry, I promise to write a letter home as soon as I go to the state!" Ling Rong promised.

"Okay." Fang reluctantly agreed.

Early the next morning, Ling Rong set off for Chuzhou.This is the second time for Ling Rong to travel far away, the first time was for the draft, and once he went there, there was no turning back and it became forever.

When Ling Rong arrived at the house in Chuzhou, it was close to noon, Ling Zhi was not at home, only Xi Mo was there, and he was really surprised to see Ling Rong and his party.

"Miss, why are you here? You drink tea...I...I'll go find the young master right away!" Xi Mo said anxiously.

"Okay, don't be too busy. I'm here now, so I'm not in a hurry. Let's take the nanny to clean up the room first. No matter what, I will stay for more than ten days, so I have to clean it up." Ling Rong smiled slightly. said.

"Yes! Little one, I'll take the nanny here. Miss, you..."

"I'll walk around, you guys go." Ling Rong walked out of the living room and wandered slowly in the small courtyard.

The small courtyard is very simple. Although there are flowers and plants, it is a mess, and it is obvious that no one takes care of it.There are still a few clothes to dry on the rack in the east of the yard, which are crumpled and obviously not straightened after washing; the kitchen is clean, except for some water in the pot, there is no trace of use at all.

"Oh... I knew it would be like this." Ling Rong sighed helplessly.

"Miss, the room has been tidied up. Miss, do you want to take a nap first? After such a long journey, the lady must be exhausted. After the nanny cooks the meal, go and wake the lady up, okay?" Nanny After tidying up the room, he went out to look for Ling Rong, and said to Ling Rong distressedly.

"Grandmother, don't be too busy. You haven't closed your eyes much during this journey. You must be exhausted. Let Xi Mo go out to buy some food today and come back. Let's make a living and wait for the nurse to light a fire for cooking tomorrow." " Ling Rong took the hand of the nanny and persuaded.

"How can this be done? The things outside are not clean. If you eat them, what will happen to your stomach? Miss, wait for a while, the servants are quick, and they will eat some immediately." The nurse disagreed, and went to Go to the kitchen.

"Nurse~~" Ling Rong hurriedly grabbed the nanny, and reluctantly told the truth: "There is nothing in the kitchen, not even rice, so..."

"This! Oh, really, I don't know what kind of life the young master is living these days! It's almost noon, I'll let Xi Mo go to buy food and come back, Miss, go back to the room to rest first. In the afternoon, I will tell you Anfu is going to buy some things and come back, and I promise to have hot food on the table tonight." After the nanny finished speaking, she went to work in a hurry, leaving Ling Rong alone, dumbfounded.

When Ling Zhi came back, it was close to Youshi, and the sky had gradually darkened.The grandma had already taken Xi Mo to work in the kitchen early on. Although Xi Mo couldn't cook, he could still use the fire, so the grandma arrested him.

When Ling Zhi entered the room, he saw the whole table filled with hot food. Ling Rong was sitting at the table, looking at him with a smile. The unexpected scene made Ling Zhi stand there for a while.

"Rong'er?" Ling Zhi rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you drinking on an empty stomach again?" Ling Rong stood up, greeted him, and helped Ling Zhi into the room.

"Xi Mo, go get a basin of hot water and wash my brother's face to sober up. Brother, please sit down first. Even if it's socializing, you have to be careful! You don't care about your body!" Ling Rong hurriedly Said busy.

"Rong'er, why are you here?" Ling Zhi asked after finally recovering.

"What? My brother doesn't welcome me yet? It's not that I don't worry about you being out alone! You always don't know how to cherish yourself and make people worry about you." Ling Rong pouted dissatisfiedly.

"Good Ronger, my brother naturally welcomes you. My brother is just worried that you will not be safe on the road alone. Ronger don't be angry with my brother." Ling Zhi hurriedly coaxed his sister.

"Okay, I'll forgive my brother this time." Ling Rong broke into a smile, and only then had time to look at his brother carefully.

"Brother has lost a lot of weight, hasn't he suffered a lot these days?" Ling Rong said distressedly.

"It's okay, it's just that I lost some weight because I didn't have a good rest during the exams, and it will grow back soon." Ling Zhi smiled and comforted.

"By the way, I'm just talking, my brother hasn't had dinner yet, right? The grandma has cooked a lot of meals that you like, brother must eat more!" Ling Rongke took food for Ling Zhi.

"Okay! Rong'er is tired from traveling and traveling, so you have to eat more. Girls look better if they are richer." Ling Zhi kept adding vegetables to Ling Rong's bowl.

"I don't want to become a fat man!" Ling Rong yelled, covering his bowl.

The two brothers and sisters ate very lively, their hearts were warm and quiet, and they finally had a sense of belonging to home.
