Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

Chapter 192 Madam Dong's Exam

There are two flowers on each table.

He Duwei, who was waiting at the gate of Taixue, kept staring at Yu Qian, while Yu Qian was paying attention to other candidates.

Yu Qian was very nervous, and a little funny: "In the past, I went to rush for the exam, and the lady was waiting for her. I laughed at her being so nervous, but now she's lost..."

"Are you nervous?"

"Brother He, look at the sweat on my palms, it makes me sweat like a ghost."

He Mingjue secretly laughed, you are a ghost, if you feel nervous and sweat, you will sweat.

After one examinee handed in the paper, he suddenly turned into a big red octopus, holding his head in his tentacles and trembling vigorously. A strange-looking couple took him away, who might be the parents of the big octopus.

"Goooooooo"

"Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack"

There was a thin, blue-skinned child who came out alone with a big luggage bag, and cried as he walked, and the tears turned into pearls. He caught the pearls one by one and stuffed them into the bag. in the luggage bag. "Beep beep" "beep beep"

The book implies that this is his living expenses for this semester. Living on land, eating fish costs money.

There is also the little deer I saw when I entered the city. It was a girl with big eyes, and she walked out with a shocked expression.

The tiger family waiting outside the door shouted: "It's you!"

"Hey, why hasn't my son come out yet?"

"Is the question difficult?"

Fawn raised his head tremblingly, looked at this group of tall and strong people, and cried with a whoosh.

"Hey, what are you crying about! It's been said that we are vegetarian!"

"Cry and cry! Don't make it look like we're here to bully you."

Are there no humans?How is that possible, it's just that humans are not as conspicuous as these non-humans.

Yu Qian withdrew his gaze, stared at his clothes, and said in a low voice: "There are not many questions in the exam, but it is difficult." He thought the exam would take a few days.

Captain He Du was taken aback: "How do you know? There is a mutual understanding between husband and wife?"

Yu Qian laughed: "Look, they went to the city at the same time as you and me, and they all passed the exam while we were going to eat and run errands. Look at their faces, all of them are mournful, obviously they have met a big brother Problem." He said in a low voice, "Brother He, you should be able to discover these through your meticulous observation. Why? What are you thinking?"

He Mingjue smiled, put his arms around his neck, pulled him to the wall, whispered in his ear: "I think of the brothel, Ting Yi, do me a favor, let me pretend to be your entourage, okay? "

"This, I'm just condescending." Yu Qian said in his heart that I also want to go and see, just to see what's going on, I don't do anything, I think it's dirty. "I'm afraid my wife will be unhappy."

"No, we are both promises, right? I'll testify to you, you didn't do anything, just go to investigate the 'strength of law enforcement', and when my wife gets angry about this, you have to give me testify."

"……it is good."

The impatient He Mingjue pulled him away: "Let's go."

"Wait a minute, wait for the lady to come out of the exam"

"Don't, don't let her know the effort of going back and forth for a stick of incense."

Yu Qian had no choice but to be dragged away by him, and the two of them secretly found a small alley. He Mingjue forced himself to change from a strong man with a beard to a short, square-headed, thirteen or fourteen-year-old As a young man, his clothes also changed into that of a servant.Yu Qian was also embarrassed to use his own face to go to that kind of place. After thinking for a while, he changed his face into Xu Youzhen's.

This face is the most refined scum, dressed like a beast, suitable for going to that kind of place.

Standing across the street from the brothel, Yu Qian looked at the two big characters of 'official prostitute', paused, then turned around and said, "What did I say when I went in?"

After He Mingjue became shorter, everything felt fresh, he pointed to the water sign at the door and said, "Look there, it's on the sign at the door."

Yu Qian looked down, and saw a water sign poked on the ground at the door, which clearly stated: This month's new

Wutongshen, who turned into a prince, deceived and fried 15 young women.

Grotto ghosts lure passers-by into tombs, cheat and fry, and inhale qi.

Xu Nan, who cheated on the young girl next door, nicknamed Miaoli

Li Nan, Wang Nan, and Lu Nan committed a crime together, killing Li Sheng's mother and maidservants and killing them.Nicknames big ass, big fool, big boobs.

The grandson's wife, the woman who shoots the flower, and the name of the grandson.

Bai Fu, Pai Hua Po Zi, whose nickname is Bai Xue.

White male, human trafficking, nicknamed □□.

Su and his wife set up a private prostitute, and they were named dogs and men.

Yu Qian was speechless about the flower names. Although he didn't go, he heard from his colleagues that he wanted to be called Ruanhong, Yunhong, Xiangyu, Fendie, Shishi, Xiuxiu, and Fonu.He whispered, "Brother He, what do you think? You don't have to go in, do you?"

He Mingjue thought for a while: "Come on, go in and have a look, what are you afraid of?" He put his hand on Yu Qian's back, and with a strong force, pushed him into the door.

The courtyard was full of stunning women, wearing very frugal clothes that basically could not block anything, sitting on the steps in fear and emaciation, trembling when they saw someone walk in.

This is also a quadrangle-like courtyard, with row houses on three sides, most of which are closed, and various strange sounds can be heard.

The policeman smiled and said, "The two guests are a bit strange, who do you want? The flower names are on the sign at the door."

These people wore too little clothes, so that Yu Qian didn't dare to raise his eyes to look around. He lowered his eyes and said, "Excuse me...why are they so beautiful?"

The policeman laughed hahaha: "Hahahaha, are you foreigners? The people who are sent to me have changed their faces and bodies. Their original stinky skins don't even eat dogs. They come here for fun. They are not picking up rags, of course, they must have soft skin and beautiful appearance. Look at these three, come here with big butts and big fools, let the guests see clearly. Look at the guests, these three are still boys, and they can use both front and back."

The two were dumbfounded, and Yu Qian threw a handful of copper coins on the table: "No need, I can't afford it. Farewell!"

He pulled He Mingjue and ran out.

He Mingjue broke away: "I haven't asked some questions yet."

Yu Qian covered his face and let out a long sigh: "Brother He, please do yourself a favor and don't drag me."

I am ashamed to face others, even though I am using the face of an enemy, I still feel ashamed to face others!

He Mingjue sighed, his obsessive-compulsive disorder broke out, he looked left and right: "Go over there and wait for me, I'll come later." After speaking, he rushed in with a fearless spirit.

Yu Qian walked over slowly and saw a shop selling ice bowls. The sign said [five cents a ball, five cents for a small bowl, ten cents for a large bowl].

A large group of boys and girls lined up here, the line moved quickly, and soon left happily holding pottery bowls. There were colorful balls in the pottery bowls emitting a sweet chill.It looks delicious and popular, and I saw some people eat it again along the way.

He didn't want to stand opposite the brothel and stare at the brothel and the others. He was too embarrassed, so he simply lined up here to cover up.

"Do you want a big bowl or a small bowl? What flavor do you want?"

Yu Qian thought for a while: "Big bowl, one of each kind." There are only ten colors in total, so you don't need to choose. Although it is a bit expensive, it is still worth it.This red orange yellow green green blue purple brown white and other colors, I don't know what it smells like.

"Sixty Wen."

"Okay, you take it. Wrap it with real qi so it won't melt or fall into dust. I'll give you a spoon. This bag is made of chopped nuts. Sprinkle it on it and eat it. Take the bowl back and refund you ten cents." The little girl in the shop handed him two spoons and a paper bag with a smile.

Yu Qian was holding a large bowl, in which ice cream balls of ten colors were piled up to form a small pagoda, which was different from the ice bowls he had seen in the past, and looked more delicate and delicate.

The book hints that someone in the Yuan Dynasty invented the earliest ice cream by adding honey and milk to crushed ice eaten in summer. Before that, people who could afford ice only ate fresh fruit mixed with ice.

It was time to buy things, and He Mingjue came out, and after a moment of shaking himself in the crowd, the short boy returned to a middle-aged man with a thick back: "Ting Yi, let's go."

Yu Qian continued to hold the bowl: "Brother He, did you understand?"

"Well, that kind of place doesn't charge money. For crimes involving young girls and young children, multiple accomplices, and flower auctions (trafficking), they are thrown here. On the one hand, they comfort the bachelors, and on the other hand, they warn those who want to People who committed crimes. In one month, only these twelve people committed crimes in the big country of Nuoda, which is not too many."

Yu Qian nodded: "It's really not much."

"It's not a bad punishment."

Yu Qian asked: "Is there a time limit? Is it until you die, or will you be released after decades? Will you be exiled?"

"I didn't ask in detail. Some of them will be exiled to remote mountains and remote areas. As for the time, I don't know. There should be a day when it will end. The elixir of immortality will not be wasted on them."

"This way, it can deter everyone and warn some people." Yu Qian tactfully expressed his complicated feelings: "It's really a unique way."

The two of them discussed in a low voice why those big fools committed crimes for women's sex or for a moment's pleasure. He Mingjue had heard of many cases, and sometimes the evil spirits who smeared and committed crimes couldn't even see what the woman looked like. For the two criteria of 'female' and 'live', as long as one of them is met, you can start.

He walked back to the entrance of Taixue, and then he asked: "Ice bowls for younger siblings?"

"Ah."

The camera returns to Mrs. Dong who is taking the exam.

She stared at the sentence on the test paper, and was in a daze for a long time.She has read a lot of books, and she knows some questions about the palace examinations of famous officials with lofty ideals in ancient times. Follow through to the reviews.

That's too far away. In short, there is no question that is written by oneself, let alone the imperial examination, even if it is an examination of children and talents, there must be a question!

Mrs. Dong twisted her pen and twisted her hair with one hand, secretly hating herself for rushing to take the exam.If you find an inn to live in first, secretly find out about Princess Xuanzhen's likes and dislikes, and the position of the chief examiner this time, then you will be more confident in answering this question.Now I don't know anything, and I can't use the stereotypes of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness to fool people.After all, this is the country of the gods, the school of the gods, does she want an extraordinary disciple of the gods, or a loyal minister and general?

Could it be that I have to implicate my husband to settle down here?He was reluctant to part with Daming Jiangshan in his heart, and I couldn't help him, so I had to do my best not to distract him.

She closed her eyes, calmed down, calmed down, and began to recall what she had seen and heard along the way.

The princess has supervised the country for hundreds of years, and the country has prospered and prospered—those who are capable come first. Obviously, strength is what is emphasized in the Zhuang Kingdom. This princess has the strength to govern the country, and it is not in vain.

In this country, there seems to be no struggle for power, court struggles... It's just that now I don't know if the majesty is unable to take power because of the power left behind, or if he really wants the princess to take power.If it's the former, then this princess's ability to overwhelm His Majesty and fifty princes is so terrifying.If it's the latter, this fairyland is not fighting for power and profit.

Women are cheerful and wear knives, and pedestrians wear narrow sleeves-pragmatic!Very pragmatic, not pompous.Well, it works from top to bottom. Folks like to imitate palace clothes. In the late Tang Dynasty, wide-sleeved shirts were repeatedly banned because long-sleeved clothes were popular among palace officials.That princess Xuanzhen must like narrow-sleeved clothes.

The appointment of women as errands is not limited to the female officials around the princess, there are also women in the gatekeepers and Jingzhao Yamen. Is this a legacy from ancient times?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Dong breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had never heard of the princess's personality and likes and dislikes, the world she governed and the capital she was in would show something.

Jealousy like hatred!Yes, jealous and fair and strict.The yokai who opened the shop all have paperwork permission.

The princess's mind is very meticulous, and there are simple laws behind the document, which can prevent crimes due to ignorance.

[A question worthy of the Taixue exam]

"Taixue, Guozijian... (Ming) Guozijian studied "Four Books", "Five Classics", and also "Xingli Encyclopedia", as well as laws and regulations, books, etc... I don't know what the Guozijian here is going to learn."

Madam Dong picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and slowly wrote a line on the draft paper.

The red scarf and emerald sleeves make heroes cry!

These are Xin Qiji's words. Xin Qiji is a very deep person, he can write good words, and he can train soldiers.

Mrs. Dong said to herself: If this exam selects people who will become officials in the future, then I will talk about my political views starting from the decline of the Song Dynasty, emphasizing literature over military affairs, and party disputes.It doesn't matter if you choose Xin Qiji or Yue Fei as the title, but it's just used as an introduction, and both politics and military affairs can be involved.At any rate, Xin Qiji died of illness during his recovery, so he was more reserved than Yue Fei.

However, just in case, what if this Taixue teaches moral purity and rule by doing nothing?

Judging from the state of those yamen, it does look like the Huang-Lao school, who is trying to rule the world.

She took up a pen and wrote: What is there is for profit, what is not for use. (On the practical application of Taoism in governing the country)

You are in great trouble. (This sentence is purely about practice.)

I still feel unsafe, unsafe, and unreliable, and vaguely wrote the words "Golden Sword Fu".

In the imperial examinations of the past dynasties, there are too many people who were supported by nobles and made great progress.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was an open-book recommendation system...

There are only two questions now. First, is Xiangu Wen enough to be this noble person.Second, the person distributing the test papers at the door seems to be at odds with Aunt Wen, is this a hindrance?

If the relationship between the princess and Xiangu Wen is good enough, then there is no problem. If there is a big difference, and I, an outsider, make a big banner out of tiger skin without knowing it, and pretend to be a tiger, it will be annoying.

Mrs. Dong calculated carefully, and then made a draft in her heart, and wrote all three policy theories in one swoop.Although the writing style can't be compared with the number one scholar, when citing scriptures and allusions, he also tries to avoid using celebrity stories, but directly uses such obvious allusions as "cut the feet to fit the shoes" and "create something out of nothing".

Ever since her son grew up and married his daughter-in-law, her husband was busy with government affairs and didn’t go home every day. Mrs. Dong spent the rest of her time reading and practicing calligraphy, and it was the same after she lost her husband. This is a good way to pass the time. Think it really works!

Look carefully, um, although the diction is not gorgeous enough, and the allusions are not rich enough, fortunately, everything I want to write is clearly written.The handwriting is clear and the rolls are neat and tidy, which makes people look comfortable.

The last Golden Sword Fu made her feel difficult.

"Han Fu Tang poetry, Song Ci and Yuan Qu..." Mrs. Dong hid her face: "I'm not good at any of them."

He can write, compose poems and fu, and write lyrics, but he has never been able to do so, for fear of making the generous family laugh.I can only play word games in private, and now I want to take it to the stage, which is making a fool of myself.

After thinking quietly for a while, I suddenly connected the three things together 'Yu Bu is equivalent to Jin Yiwei' - 'My husband cherishes his wings and is afraid of being tarnished, and also afraid of being retaliated' - 'The golden knife presented by Wen Xiangu '.He simply picked up the pen and wrote the whole incident from his own perspective. After writing, he blew the ink half dry, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it in the corner of the wall.

Madam Dong walked out of the house lightly, and walked to the person at the door who distributed the test papers: "You're done writing, hand in the papers."

The person at the door took a look and said in surprise, "So much written? The handwriting is not bad. I wish you good luck." He took the paper, put it in a paper bag, sealed it with paste, and put it in the in a big box.Looking up: "Still waiting? Don't worry, the paper will be sent to the top, and the princess will review it slowly."

Mrs. Dong was taken aback: "The princess will mark it directly? Isn't there an examiner to do it for you?"

"Well, when there is a teacher in Taixue, someone will help mark the papers. The princess has to decide. Well, please, don't get in the way here."

Mrs. Dong left in a daze, my God, my mother, there is no teacher in this academy!The princess marks the papers herself?Although the emperors in all dynasties have personally checked the examination papers, they are a few people who have been selected after many examinations... It's not just anyone who can write the examination papers...

She walked out of the gate of Taixue in a little confusion, looking back, this school full of gold and gold had a flashy feeling.

Yu Qian greeted her, and was startled when she saw her expression: "Ma'am! Just pass the exam, don't be too nervous. What's wrong? The question is so difficult?"

Mrs. Dong nodded confusedly: "Yes, husband, I don't know if it will be possible."

"Do your best to obey the destiny."

Madam Dong smiled confusedly, and tugged on his sleeve: "Where are we going to stay tonight?"

"The post station. Brother He suddenly remembered that he could live in a courtyard in Honglu Temple with his status. Let's get rich in the past."

"Then go over quickly, I want to talk to you about the topic."

"Okay." The two walked quickly to Honglu Temple and asked for directions at the gate of Honglu Temple.

Menzi said: "Lieutenant He Du has ordered that there is a couple who are his friends traveling with him, Xiaobai, come and lead the way."

This place is not as inaccessible as other places. You can see many people, strange people and non-humans. Looking at the footprints on the ground, it seems that many people come and go.

The boy named Xiaobai was quite enthusiastic, running back and forth, twitching his nose from time to time.

Yu Qian asked: "Brother, how many people live here?"

Xiaobai shook his tail excitedly: "A lot~"

Mrs. Dong asked, "Are they all foreign envoys?"

Xiao Bai wagged his tail even more frantically, and then frantically put his tail away: "No, not all of them, there are also many foreigners who are too lazy to rent a house like Captain He Du."

At the destination, Xiaobai stepped forward and scratched the door: "Open the door, open the door, open the door, open the door"

Another boy opened the door: "The dead dog is calling the soul! Oops!"

Captain He Du was eating grilled ribs and drinking in the yard, and picked up a meaty bone from the plate: "Xiaobai, come here, I'll reward you."

Xiaobai hurried over: "I'm not a dog with bones and bones!"

With the bone in his mouth, he happily ran away.

This courtyard is not big, with a rock, a spring, a tree, and a flower.

Lieutenant He Du raised his wine bowl: "Ting Yi, how did your siblings do in the exam?"

Madam Dong closed the door behind her back: "Captain He Du, I don't know what happened."

Yu Qian pulled her over and sat down, took out the ice bowl that had been hidden for a long time: "Taste it, now I am not afraid that eating ice will hurt my stomach." Put the ice bowl on the table, open the paper bag, and pour out a whole bag of nuts Go up and hand her the spoon.

Mrs. Dong held the spoon, a little curious, the colors were so beautiful, it was cold and soft, it seemed to be delicious.She scooped up a small spoonful, gently opened her red lips and put it in her mouth, um, it was fragrant and delicate, very delicious!

Captain He Du was quite curious: "What kind of questions are used in the Taixue exam? Why are you so restless, brother and sister?"

Mrs. Dong said the topic in a loud voice: "I have to come up with a question that is worthy of the imperial examination, and then answer it myself."

Captain He thought carefully for a long time, then drank without saying a word: "This question is too difficult."

I can't think of anything!

Yu Qian nodded: "When I was waiting for you at the door, I was still wondering. The imperial examinations are all entered and exited at the same time. Beware of leaking questions and ghostwriting. I thought the Xian family had a means of preventing cheating, but I didn't expect it to be Such a subject."

Mrs. Dong nodded grumpily: "Yes, yes." She continued to eat in small bites, holding a spoon in her left hand and covering her face with a handkerchief in her right hand. He Mingjue never saw her open her mouth to eat from the beginning to the end.

"Such a tricky question, cough cough cough, how do you answer such a weird question?"

While eating, Mrs. Dong recounted her questions and answers, and she couldn't help sighing: "I answered in a hurry, I didn't write this sentence! Sigh..."

Yu Qian comforted: "Madam's thinking is clear, her words are sophisticated, and she has been around me for many years. Even if there is a slight difference, she will be better than many people."

She nodded, forced a smile, and continued worryingly.This is like ordinary people who only realize that they have many excellent sentences that are useless after they quarrel with others. The same is true of Mrs. Dong, who always feels that she did not perform well enough at that time.

He Mingjue drank two bowls of wine: "You talk, I'll go for a walk."

Yu Qian and her ate ten hockey balls (ice cream balls) one bite at a time. It was easier when the husband and wife were alone, and Yu Qian regretted: "I forgot to tell you the experience during the test. It has been too many years and I have remembered many things. I don't know."

"I..." Mrs. Dong's face turned pale: "I don't seem to have written my name at the beginning of the paper... I only wrote my name at the end... Anzhen..."

It is implied in the book that "Anzhen" comes from Zhouyi, Kun hexagram.
