The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

When Lu Xiuyuan went back, the atmosphere of the banquet changed, and everyone sat neatly in their seats.

A trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and when his eyes swept across the uppermost Mr. Wu in the red auspicious suit, he understood everything in an instant.

I didn't expect the other party to come back at this point!

He bowed to the other party, hurriedly returned to his seat and sat down.

Master Wu saw that everyone was sitting there with their necks hunched in silence, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, just continue playing as you did just now, don't worry so much."

That's the way it is said, but the students who came here today besides the students from Taixue are talented people from all provinces. Now that everyone sees Mr. Wu, how can they not be nervous?

After all, his identity is here, he is a bachelor in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and a fifth-rank official. If he passes the imperial examination and enters the Hanlin in the future, Master Wu will be his immediate boss.

That's right, Mr. Wu's identity is the head of the Imperial Academy, which was known from Shen Congzhi after Lu Xiuyuan tried his best to hug his thigh.

When he heard the news, Lu Xiuyuan, who was always calm, couldn't help being shocked. He really didn't expect that the other party was so powerful.

Although Zhengwupin does not sound high enough, this is the Hanlin Academy, the closest place to the emperor to lecture on scriptures and draft secret edicts!

Anyway, now that Lu Xiuyuan saw Mr. Wu, he couldn't help admiring him. He was so capable and would even give lectures to the students. He was really kind and approachable.

Master Wu sat at the top, seeing that the students below seemed to be more nervous after he finished speaking, and then called Lu Xiuyuan in the middle to start.

"In ancient times, there was Wang Xizhi's Qu Shui Liu Shang, which was written as a preface to the Orchid Pavilion. Now in my small courtyard, you can also follow suit and let me record it for you."

Resigned in danger, he quickly cleared his throat, and began to think about which theme to use this time.

Since Mr. Wu helped to memorize it, then he must not be able to say the poems of the predecessors, but write his own poems, and what was said about "flower" before is almost the same. Now that it is late autumn, it is better to continue to talk about chrysanthemums.

"Ju Laohan's light fragrance never stops."

After Lu Xiuyuan finished speaking, Master Wu nodded, and then he grabbed a chrysanthemum beside him and placed it in the stream.

"The chrysanthemum is the most brilliant in late autumn, and it's good to use it as a theme, so let's use chrysanthemums to choose people this time."

The golden chrysanthemums turned and turned along the winding water, and slowly came to Han Xu.

The other party's face turned pale instantly, good guy, what's going on today!Why did you stop in front of him again?

Han Xu raised his eyes and took a peek at Mr. Wu, who was looking at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth. His plan to breathe a few more breaths could not be realized. In desperation, he could only take the flowers and start thinking hard.

Looking at the bright yellow chrysanthemum petals in front of him, which were bursting into clusters, Han Xu's head was so big.

Fortunately, after a while, Shen Congzhi arrived and rescued him.

"Master, have you come back so early?" Shen Congzhi asked in surprise as he looked at Master Wu who was sitting at the top, supporting his junior brother.

Master Wu noticed Yang Weijian's pale face and quickly stood up: "What's wrong with Weijian? Why does he look like this?"

Shen Congzhi explained: "Junior brother accidentally choked on a peanut just now, and was frightened, and now he is recovering."

Hearing this, Lord Wu frowned: "Since you don't go back and have a good rest like this, why did you come out again?"

Yang Wei, who was being supported, forced a smile, "I was so nervous just now that I forgot to thank Brother Lu. I came here to thank you."

As soon as Lu Xiuyuan heard that he was being called, he also stood up quickly: "It's just a small favor, don't be so polite, Brother Yang, let's go back and rest."

"How can it be a small favor? Brother Lu saved my life. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been in trouble just now."

Yang Weijian stepped forward and saluted solemnly.

Lu Xiuyuan hurriedly helped him up, he was such a good boy, his attitude towards the other party, what he did just now was worth it.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Master Wu couldn't help asking curiously: "What method did you use to get out the peanuts? I don't know if it's convenient to disclose it?"

When Lu Xiuyuan heard the other party's question, he quickly turned around and explained the principle of first aid again.

Master Wu pondered for a moment after hearing this: "This is really a good idea. There are still many young children who die of suffocation because of this. If this method can be popularized, it will save the lives of many innocent people. "

Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu could think of this quickly. He is indeed a good official who is dedicated to the people. Thinking of this, he proposed: "This method can be popularized in the capital first, and then the government regulations will be issued. It is estimated that it will spread to all places in a short time. "

"Yes." Lord Wu nodded, "You have made a contribution in providing the solution, but what are your requirements? I will do my best to satisfy you."

Lu Xiuyuan refused without thinking, "It's good if I can help the common people, and I don't need any reward."

Master Wu laughed after hearing this, "Think about it, there is only one chance."

"It is a virtue to save lives without expecting anything in return."

Lu Xiuyuan declined again, and when it came to saving lives, his mentality changed.As long as you can help, do your best, and there is no need to ask for anything in return.

It's like those who gave out porridge during the famine. Could it be that they wanted to return those refugees?

What's more, these are trivial matters to him, so why worry about them?

Lu Xiuyuan lightly refused, but his voice stirred up huge waves in the hearts of the students around him.

Especially the big and tall one before, the face of the other party was about to be distorted.

This guy really didn't know what to do, so he refused!

The tall man gritted his teeth, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be a good thing for him. The other party blindly rejected this good opportunity. As long as he gritted more, and asked Wei Jianduo to help him say good things, then Wu Your lord's closed disciple is your own!

For this purpose, he, Qin Lan, has been planning hard for two years, and this time he must succeed!

After hearing Lu Xiuyuan's words, Mr. Wu couldn't help stroking his beard, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

"Your personality is very similar to an old friend of this officer..."

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan looked down at the blooming chrysanthemums in front of him, but did not speak.

After Master Wu sighed, he comforted Yang Weijian again, and then signaled Fei Hua Ling to continue.

After Yang Xu stumbled and managed to finish speaking, Chrysanthemum walked around to another student along the winding stream.

Taking advantage of this spare time, Han Xu couldn't help turning his head to the side and muttering in a low voice: "Brother Lu, are you stupid? Why didn't you make a request just now? You must know that Mr. Wu is the boss of the Imperial Academy. You saved his apprentice and offered such a good gift Way, even if you ask for apprenticeship, the other party will definitely agree!"

Lu Xiuyuan smiled, and replied in a low voice: "It's not necessary to raise one's hand, it's not necessary."

Besides, even if he wanted to be a teacher, he couldn't mention it at this time. You must know that the relationship between master and student in ancient times was sometimes stronger than the relationship between father and son.

What's more, he also has Dr. Xu as his master, Master Wu is the most convenient way to read the articles for him.

However, although Lu Xiuyuan refused, Master Wu's gaze was always on him throughout the banquet, and Qin Lan, who was tall and tall, clenched his fists.

After a banquet ended, most of the students present breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.

After sitting cross-legged for a long time, Lu Xiuyuan's legs were also numb. Now he wants to go home quickly and take a bath, and then accumulate today's interesting poems.

Everyone left one after another, and he also pulled Shen Congzhi to say goodbye, and made an appointment for the next meeting, but just as he was about to turn around and leave, someone in the crowd suddenly screamed.

"Oops! My ancestral treasure is lost!"

Eh?

Everyone's eyes were attracted by these words, and Lu Xiuyuan followed everyone's gaze.

The anxious looking person in front of him, who kept groping his body with his hands, isn't he the tall one from before?

If he heard correctly, the other party seemed to say that something was lost?

As a tall friend, Yang Weijian saw the situation in front of him and said, "What did you lose? Tell me and ask everyone to help find it?"

The tall one, Qin Lan, heard this, frowned and lamented at Yang Wei with a bitter face: "It's the jade pendant, I lost the jade pendant! This is my family's ancestral treasure to ward off evil spirits and keep you safe. It's worth a thousand taels!"

Upon hearing the thousand taels of jade pendant, the other people around couldn't help casting suspicious glances. The Qin family actually still has this treasure?

Qin Lan fumbled anxiously, "I saw it this morning, why can't I find it? Could it be stolen?"

Hearing this, Yang Weijian's expression changed: "Brother Qin be careful, the servants in Wu's mansion are the most honest. Your jade pendant is gone, it's probably lost, how can you just say it was stolen?"

When Qin Lan heard that his good brother turned his platform down, he was so blocked that he almost didn't come up, "I didn't mean that, the servants of Wu's mansion know the rules best, I'm just worried that some unknown people who came here this time have wrong hands and feet. clean……"

"What do you mean?" Yang Wei frowned: "The people who came this time are not only the classmates of the Taixue School, but also the elites of the provinces. Everyone is a scholar. How could they do such a thing as stealing?!"

Seeing that his good brother started to be stubborn again, Qin Lan was angry and speechless, and he didn't stand by him when something happened. It was really a waste of friends in the past few years.

"I know that the students of Taixue would not do such a thing of theft, but some people may not." Qin Lan was too lazy to talk nonsense, and pointed directly at Lu Xiuyuan.

"He, from a poor family, was the last student in Linjie Province, but after coming to the capital, he was able to live in rich clothes. Look at his clothes, isn't it strange?!"

After hearing this, everyone began to look at Lu Xiuyuan again. The clothes were made of top-quality silk, which was cool and breathable, and indeed expensive, but could this prove that the other party was a thief who stole the jade pendant?And this Lu Xiuyuan's personality, which everyone saw just now, is totally different from what Qin Lan said, okay?

Everyone didn't believe Qin Lan's words at all, and instead cast doubtful looks at him.

Qin Lan was immediately angry, what's going on?There are also his classmates for many years, but the other party doesn't believe him?What kind of ecstasy did Lu Xiuyuan give them?

Qin Lan knelt down directly to Master Wu, "Master Wu! I still hope to make decisions for the students!"

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the scene where the man in front of him was struggling to perform, and felt a little powerless to complain. Sure enough, the bump into him before was premeditated.

But isn't this stupid guy stupid?He just saved someone and then donated the method of saving them for free. Now the other party started to frame him as a thief, even a child wouldn't believe it, right?

Master Wu's eyes were dim, and he took a look at Qin Lan: "What do you want to do?"

The other party was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly pointed to Lu Xiuyuan and said, "Whether he has stolen, you can find out with a search!"

The eagerness in the words seemed to confirm that the jade pendant was on him.

"Nonsense!" Shen Congzhi couldn't help but stepped forward to interrupt, and saluted Mr. Wu: "Brother Lu was brought here by a student, and his character is very clear to the students, so he would never do such a sneaky thing." thing!"

Being searched on suspicion of stealing is a great humiliation for a scholar!You must know that no one can accept a body search during the normal process of the scientific examination, let alone this kind of dirty water!

Lu Xiuyuan was a rare friend he got along with, so naturally he didn't want him to suffer this kind of grievance.

Shen Congzhi's defense made Qin Lan even more superior, "Since he didn't steal, why are you afraid of searching?"

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help reminding: "Shouldn't you go look for the lost thing immediately? Why do you say that I stole it from you? Did you see it? Or what did you do to be sure that your jade pendant is on me?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Qin Lan in the wrong way.

"You!" Qin Lan was in a hurry, and couldn't think of a good excuse for a while.

Shen Congzhi heard Lu Xiuyuan's words, and quickly called his servants to look around.

"This guy also went to the latrine halfway, don't forget to take a look over there." He kindly reminded.

When Qin Lan next to him heard it, he suddenly realized: "I went to the toilet with him, and he bumped into me during that time, so I guess he would steal it!"

After finishing speaking, he ground his teeth, "You shameless thief, return the jade pendant to me!"

Hand it over, and you will be ruined, and don't want to win Mr. Wu's favor in the future.

Lu Xiuyuan was helpless, he simply stretched out his arms, "It doesn't make sense to you, since you don't believe it, you can search it, I can go home after searching."

Shen Congzhi became worried when he saw his appearance, "Brother Lu, you must not, wait for the servant to search around first, what if you find it!"

Lu Xiuyuan didn't have the privacy-conscious emotions of the ancients, so he stretched his body calmly, "Here, let's do a search."

Qin Lan was very angry when he saw his appearance, so he stepped forward and began to touch his chest.

Lu Xiuyuan was speechless, with such an IQ, if he found the jade pendant first, it would be more like a frame-up, okay?

Qin Lan made a move with the intention of winning, but found nothing in his chest.

He groped up and down again in disbelief, and finally let him touch a hard object on the side of his waist.

A gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and he quickly took them out.

"Look, isn't this what it is!...Eh? Why not?"

Qin Lan was dumbfounded. What he took out was a small box. When he opened it, there were slender needles inside, and there was no jade pendant at all.

Unbelievably, he searched his whole body again.

Lu Xiuyuan endured goosebumps and rolled his eyes: "Brother, did you find it? Can you prove my innocence?"

Qin Lan got stuck for a while, and continued to pour dirty water: "Maybe you hid it, and then you want to wait two days to get it back!"

This reason is absolutely perfect, he dusted off his clothes in disgust, and gathered them neatly again.

"You are impatient to lose your ancestral jade pendant. I understand, and I don't blame you. Why don't you sit down and wait for the servant's news?"

Qin Lan also wondered where would the jade pendant be if it wasn't in Lu Xiuyuan's arms?Just as he was wondering, a servant ran over carrying a small wooden stick.

"I found it, I found it! I found the jade pendant!"

What? !Qin Lan looked over in surprise, and saw a yellowish foreign object hanging from the tip of the small wooden stick in the servant's hand, and as the distance got closer, it was emitting a strange smell.

Everyone nearby couldn't help covering their noses, only Qin Lan stared blankly at the hanging unknown object.

"Found it! This master must have accidentally dropped the jade pendant into the cesspit when he was born!"

When the servant spoke such down-to-earth words, several students in the crowd couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Qin Lan is going crazy!Is this his ancestral jade pendant? !How did it become what it is now? !
