Chapter 101 Scholar and Flower Demon 15
Xiao Tan told the pear blossoms about the darkness of the pear blossoms and successfully told her scholars not to like pear blossoms in the future. So he happily grabbed the scholar's sleeve, hoping to go and have fun.
It was almost evening now, and the sun set on the top of the mountain in the distance. Yan Lang loved Xiao Tan for a boring day here today, so he immediately took her to the night market. The dinner was a small wonton eaten on the roadside. After that, he not only bought Xiao Tan candied haws, but also bought a lot of roadside snacks.
After spending this night, although the money was not enough, in order to allow Xiao Tan to eat more and more food, Yan Lang still planned to find a way to make some money.
Generally, there are work to copy scriptures in larger temples. Yan Lang also heard from the teaching instructions, and even when he went to the capital and went to Fahua Temple to stay in places like Fahua Temple, the teaching instructions said.
Yan Lang asked the little novice monk who was doing cleaning outside the yard and successfully got a job of copying scriptures for the Buddhist temple.
Although the money is not too much, it is also an income. In addition, you only need to buy some food and other things, and you can pick wild vegetables and hunt meat by yourself. This income can completely help them maintain balance in such a situation.
The other money saved can naturally be used to buy food for Xiao Tan.
The results can be obtained within one month after the exam. After half a month, Lin Song would go to the capital to check the situation almost every day. Seeing that he was running hard, Yan Lang simply asked him to carry some pheasants, hares and other things he had called to sell.
Nowadays, many scholars are stranded in the capital, and many scholars are like Yan Lang. Their family background is not very good. However, families who can provide students with school and go to Beijing to take the exam will not be too poor. Occasionally, they will not feel too sorry for money if they buy some cheap wild game that is not very cheap to eat.
In this way, Lin Song can still exchange some money for him when he comes back every day.
After about ten days, Lin Song went to the city early in the morning. Yan Lang and Xiao Tangang had breakfast, one copying scriptures and practicing embroidery.
That's right, Xiao Tan heard that women always had to embroider their own wedding dress when they got married, so he recently got into a quarrel with the embroidery needle, but unfortunately the results were very little.
"oops!"
Hearing the small scream next to him, Yan Lang paused the pen in his hand, and then, without surprise, a finger like a jade-like onion poked into Yan Lang's mouth.
Yan Lang didn't know whether she should blush or be depressed. Blushing was because of such intimate things, how to do it in broad daylight, and depression was because Xiao Tan said that her blood was good for Yan Lang, which was very nourishing, even more nourishing than ordinary ginseng, so Yan Lang could only speak out in the end.
With a quiet and shy mood, Yan Lang still helped her sip her fingers that were bleeding from the needle, but this time she didn't follow her intentions anymore. Yan Lang held Xiao Tan's hand in the palm of her hand, and took away the tension and silk thread that had been damaged by Xiao Tan with the other hand. "Stop tossing, aren't you afraid of over-patching me?"
And to be honest, there are no women who care about using themselves to nourish their husbands every day.
"When the results of the test come out, if I can get on the list, I will send a letter to my mother and tell them about you and me. At that time, my mother and sister will naturally prepare their wedding dress."
In the letter, Yan Lang would naturally confess everything. Of course, Yan Lang would still inform his mother and sister in person after he went back.
It is naturally not enough to just speak. Yan Lang believes that when his mother and sister see Xiao Tan with their own eyes, they will naturally believe that she is harmless and credible.
Xiao Tan thought about it and nodded in a little unhappy way. It was not because she didn't have to worry about the wedding dress herself, but because she was really afraid of over-repairing her scholar.
"If you are bored, I will take a break today and take you to hunt in the mountains?"
During this period, Yan Lang didn't copy scriptures in the yard every day. At the beginning, Yan Lang took Lin Song and Xiao Tan to the nearby rarely visited the mountaintops and set up several traps. Occasionally, Yan Lang would also take a slingshot to hunt.
Yan Lang is accurate and has no shortage of strength. It is not a problem to wrap the sharp rubble with a slingshot. It is not a problem to shoot small prey. This is how Lin Song used the wild game to exchange for money during this period.
However, Yan Lang doesn't go every day. After all, when he is waiting for his grades, he naturally has to prepare everything he should prepare. Almost every candidate is doing this.
Even those candidates who feel that they are not performing well will not have any fantasies about others that they are difficult to expressly say. Maybe they are illusions that they are not performing well. They are on the list and are immediately going to participate in the palace examination.
Xiao Tan thought for a while and shook his head, "Lin Song said that he should be able to achieve results in the past few days. If we are not here, what if the official who reported the good news can't find you?"
Yan Lang laughed and touched Xiao Tan's bud head. He was about to say that it was not that coincidental, but unexpectedly, the sound of gongs and drums came from far and near outside.
Xiao Tan heard it and clapped his hands and smiled, "Look! You must be here to report the good news!"
After saying that, he really wanted to find Yan Lang to look better clothes. Yan Lang grabbed the person and walked outside and said, "Don't bother, there is no need to worry about it. Besides, the sound is obviously not from us. Let's go and see which brother who lives here is Yingxiu."
When I heard this, it seemed that the sound of gongs and drums was not coming here. After all, Yan Lang and his yard were in a relatively side, and there were no other small courtyards on the left and right.
However, hearing the sound of gongs and drums, it means that today's grades have already been released. Whether it is high school or not depends on today. Not to mention Xiao Tan, even Yan Lang feels that the stone in his heart is finally about to fall. Whether it is good news or bad news, the result is coming.
Xiao Tan was inconvenient to appear in front of people, so he naturally turned into a true form and was carried out to watch the fun.
Others are not surprised. Anyway, the candidates living in Fahua Temple all know that Yan Juren from Chongyang, Nanchuan brought a pot of flowers from his hometown when he went to Beijing to take the exam.
If you have something to do, you will hold the pot of flowers and bask in the sun to see the scenery everywhere. Others only say that he is a fool from the Nian family, but there are some good stories.
Today is the day to make the list. Yan Juren was nervous. He came out to wander around with the pot of flowers and even congratulated the same year. Of course, it was not a strange thing.
The teams that reported the good news all started from the last place to report the good news. The two teams reported the good news came to Fahua Temple. Because they came early, the rankings of the two were not considered pre-exam.
Even so, it has attracted everyone's envy. After all, the imperial examinations are once every three years. Since the founding of this dynasty, there are only about a hundred people on the list.
In the past two years, there are quite a few people available in the imperial court. Even though the emperor killed many officials due to the flood in Jiangnan last year, it is still enough. It is estimated that only dozens of people have been admitted.
After the exam, you become a tribute scholar, and you will be a sure-fire official in the court. Even if you perform normally in the palace exam, you can still get a title on the list. If you want to be promoted in the future, you will have more prospects than those who will become officials.
If you perform well, you will be attracted by the emperor's own eyes in the palace examination, or you will be attracted by a powerful family while riding a horse and parading, then your wealth and glory will be like a treasure in your pocket in the future.
To put it simply, after passing the exam, you will no longer be from the same world as others.
In this way, even if the ranking is low, it will be envious of countless scholars in the world.
Many candidates who lived in Fahua Temple before stayed in the capital after the exam, which was to make better friends after the exam, and to be able to know their test results as soon as possible after the exam, there were actually not many people willing to stay in Fahua Temple.
After Yan Lang held the flower pot and said goodbye to the two of them in the same year, he simply took Xiao Tan to walk around outside again. As a result, when he returned to the courtyard, he ran into Lin Song, who was sweating and gasping on the path at the entrance.
It's just spring now, and sooner or later there is still a cold air that is not over the winter, but Lin Song is only wearing a single dress and it's so hot. Yan Lang saw Lin Song like this, and thought that Lin Song had already squeezed in to see the results today, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Lin Song smiled a big smile, his teeth were exposed, and he bent over and supported his thighs and raised his head to Yan Lang, "Master, I'm so happy! I saw the master's name! It's the fifth one in front!"
With a loud bang, Yan Lang's mind went blank, and then he felt extremely numb and calm, and Yan Lang nodded and turned around and walked into the yard.
Lin Song was stunned and stood up and followed the master into the yard.
Seeing the master calmly climbing the steps into the room, then he rang the door and closed the door. The master's voice with a tremolo sound came out, "Xiao Tan..."
The voice was a little fluttering, so Lin Song could only hear the master seemingly talking to Miss Tan.
Lin Song shook his head and sighed that the master is worthy of being the master, and he is so calm.
That's right, being on the list is just the beginning. The master will also attend the palace examination to meet the high officials in the court and even the emperor. In the future, he will become an official.
For someone like the master, it is not worth being happy to lose his composure!
Lin Song admired it a little, then quickly went to make a fire and boil water, and then brought the pastries he brought back yesterday in a regular manner. He would also invite the official who reported the good news to have tea later!
However, Yan Lang, who seemed extremely calm in Lin Song, closed the door and became soft and sat directly on the ground, holding the flower pot tightly in his arms.
Xiao Tan was startled and quickly turned around and appeared in a human form. He squatted in front of Yan Lang, trying to see if Yan Lang felt uncomfortable.
Yan Lang blinked his eyes and then gradually came to his senses. He let go and rolled Xiao Tan's "house" to the side. Yan Lang hugged Xiao Tan tightly, and after a while, he said in a voice, "Xiao Tan, did you hear it? I'm beaten, I can marry you, I can protect you."
Although he has not shown it, Yan Lang is under a lot of pressure.
When Yan Lang just left home, he was shouldering the eager expectations of his mother and sister and the expectations of his father working hard all his life.
Then he met Xiao Tan again and was determined to be married to Xiao Tan for a lifetime. In this way, Yan Lang naturally hoped to protect Xiao Tan. The statements of Du Juan and Taoist Master Xuan Qing were all about him being able to maintain Xiao Tan's stability for decades after he entered high school.
All these added pressure to Yan Lang, but Yan Lang would not show it when he got used to it.
Now that the dust has finally settled, Yan Lang feels a little unreal.
Xiao Tan was held in Yan Lang's arms. Hearing him say this, he felt happy. His arms wrapped around Yan Lang's neck, slightly backed his forehead against Yan Lang's forehead, and curled his eyes with a smile.
The author has something to say: It's so stuck, I... I'll think carefully about it next time I write about ancient things. Alas, I've almost forgotten all the scientific research items. I can't find the information I collected when I wrote that book before. I'll pick my brains.
ps: This world may not be too long. If I work harder today, I will still be stuck. Then the update may be time to write the next world very smoothly.
Chapter completed!
