star together

. "Yan Sui actually knew about it, but he was embarrassed to say that being a man is really too shameful... How could his mother say such things, know such things, Xie Chenxing heard it, This...how to do this, if Xie Chenxing is also masculine...then he will be the target of Xie Chenxing... You must not tell Xie Chenxing, just let him be stupid!

"Okay... But I think it's just love, I don't think about these things, I only think about my brother now, I want to be a general, I want to go to the scientific research, I don't care about other things. I wouldn’t think about it, besides, there’s nothing I’m interested in in this small place.” Xie Chenxing said, “There are also things I’m interested in…”

Yan Sui asked a little curiously: "Who do you have a crush on?" Is there anyone else this little devil has a crush on?

"It's embarrassing to say, I have a crush on you." Xie Chenxing cupped his face, "You are also pretty good-looking, you can read books well, and you are a good person. I really like you, but This is just love for my brother, nothing else, don't think too much about it."

Yan Sui blushed a little, and didn't go to see Xie Chenxing again, but only urged him: "If you don't leave, you will be late." The two of them didn't continue this topic, and it would be really strange if they continued.

Ever since Xie Chenxing said this, Yan Sui always felt inexplicable shame when seeing Xie Chenxing, always blushed, and avoided seeing Xie Chenxing all day.

Xie Chenxing was a little unhappy seeing Yan Sui ignoring him, but when he found out that something was wrong with Yan Sui, he didn't do anything, and ignored him, and the two of them just hung out for a while.

After a long time, Xie Chenxing couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to find Yan Sui.

"Yan Sui, why are you ignoring me?"

"Didn't you ignore me too?" Yan Sui asked back.

"Ah... Forget it, I'm sorry, I ignored you. Okay, let's not do this, it's quite awkward."

Yan Sui agreed, and the two of them were like before again.

In fact, Yan Sui doesn't talk much. He prefers to listen to Xie Chenxing's speech. Hearing Xie Chenxing's non-stop talk over there gives him a sense of fulfillment, as if life is not so blank anymore. He listens to what Xie Chenxing says OK.Xie Chenxing wanted him to answer, so he answered, the two of them had formed a habit.

Of course... It is also an invisible tacit understanding.

The two mothers did not expect their relationship to last so long and remain so good. Yan's mother always thought that Yan Sui might find Xie Chenxing annoying, because Yan Sui didn't like to talk and had a cold temper. Xie's mother was afraid of her own son. Going to bully others again, if they are unhappy, they will definitely not be friends with Xie Chenxing.

As a result, after such a long time, I have never heard of Xie Chenxing bullying Yan Sui, nor have I ever heard of Yan Sui despising Xie Chenxing, the two get along well, and Yan Sui seems to like listening to Xie Chenxing talking about this and that. of.

The two heartbroken mothers said that this state is very good, and hope that the two can continue like this.

A year passed quickly. Last year's New Year's Eve, Xie Chenxing sat on the roof alone, but this year's New Year's Eve, Xie Chenxing sat in the yard with Yan Sui.

Both of them drank some sweet-scented osmanthus wine, the alcohol was not high, Xie Chenxing drank a lot, Yan Sui only drank a small cup and became groggy, sitting on the chair and seeing that he was about to fall asleep in the next second.

The two sat on the steps of the yard, Yan Sui fell asleep leaning against the pillar, sleeping peacefully, like a baby, simple and cute, non-aggressive, and weak.

Falling asleep, like having a very sweet, very sweet dream, occasionally there will be a few whispers, very cute!

Xie Chenxing thinks that Yan Sui's appearance in such a deep sleep is really beautiful!There was a tinge of red on her fair face, which was caused by drinking wine. She was rosy and rosy, so cute!

Xie Chenxing was leaning on the pillar on the other side, holding his arms across his chest quietly, watching Yan Sui's sleeping face silently, something seemed to be fermenting in his heart, and it was about to break through the ground, bit by bit... a different kind of emotion .

Xie Chenxing thought: Just looking at Yan Sui all the time like this will make him very happy.

I like Yan Sui more, as expected his good brother is good in everything.

Time passed in such a flash, and in a blink of an eye, the imperial examinations for the two were ushered in. The parents of both families sent their children there. The elementary examinations were very simple, and the two passed quickly.

Then I went to the county to take the exam and passed it very smoothly.

After going through five stages and beheading six generals, the two passed the exam in the capital city. The emperor supervised the exam in person. The battle was huge, and it was an ostentation that Xie Chenxing and Yan Sui had never seen before.

There are also a lot of people in the capital, the streets are bustling with people, people's heads are moving, and there are cries of hawking, one after another, endless, full of vitality, this is the momentum of the capital.

Xie Chenxing and Yan's family have also saved a lot of money in the past two years, and their family background can be regarded as rich. In this way, they are a rich family in Nanxun, and they can be regarded as an upper-middle family in Beijing.

Liberal arts and martial arts are not tested at the same place, but they both have to pass the palace examination. When the two stepped into the palace, they attracted the attention of many people. The two handsome young men came in together, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

They didn't react much either, so they got ready and sat down for the test.

If they can mix their colors in the capital, then their family can all come to the capital in the future to live a better life, eat better food, and meet better people.

An official position, a scholar who has studied for many years, and one day he must be admitted to the dream.

They have no hereditary titles, nor are they famous families, nor are they relatives of the emperor. They are just commoners, ordinary scholars. If they study, finish their studies, and pass the exam, they are the only way out for success.

Is the temptation of Zhuangyuan Lang very great?Undoubtedly yes, the number one scholar, if there is a number one scholar in a small place in Nanxun, the whole family will be happy, and it will save face if you tell it, and it will make people in this small place know, right?

The capital palace examination examination room.

The day before the exam, Yan Sui reviewed a lot of books in the inn, and he was confident during the exam. As the saying goes: "If you read ten thousand volumes, you can write like a god." This time Yan Sui really felt it. When he arrived, the exam questions were very simple for him, and he wrote very quickly.

But this is a bit difficult for Xie Chenxing. In the past two years, I have gone to school with Yan Sui, and my grades have improved a lot compared to the original ones. But I still lack some for this imperial examination. I don’t know how to understand those poems Not much, knowing a little bit, can only be mediocre in this examination room, but Yan Sui can shine.

Yan Sui finished his answer very quickly. He didn't choose to hand in the paper. He sat on the spot and carefully looked at his answer for any mistakes. After reading it, he sneaked a look at how Xie Chenxing was doing.

Xie Chenxing frowned and answered the question. Alas, Yan Sui seemed to have a similar type of question to him, but he couldn’t remember the answer. Forget it, just answer it casually, and he didn’t take the exam. Wen, you don't care about so many points, do you...

well?Has Yan Sui finished answering?Thinking of this, Xie Chenxing raised his head and glanced at Yan Sui, and happened to meet Yan Sui's gaze, both of them were aware of it, a little guilty, their eyes met and then separated in an instant.

In the examination room, if you make eye contact, if you get caught, your life will be over, not to mention that they will be wronged if they don't cheat. Today, the emperor is still proctoring the exam, so don't be too courageous.

Xie Chenxing continued to answer the questions, Yan Sui saw that Xie Chenxing stopped looking at him and continued to answer the questions, then took a deep look at him, and then casually lowered his head to look at himself.

These questions have been explained to Xie Chenxing, so they should be solved, but looking at Xie Chenxing's appearance, it seems that it is not going well, should I submit the paper first and wait?Handing in the paper first would put more pressure on Xie Chenxing, so I don't want it, but he is also impatient.

For the rest of the time, Yan Sui continued to engage in such inner activities, and ended in a daze.

"Xie Chenxing, how do you think you did in the exam?" Yan Sui went out of the exam room first, waiting for Xie Chenxing outside, and went to ask him when Xie Chenxing came out.

"You have told me about a lot of questions...but I forgot..." Xie Chenxing lowered his head angrily, regretting and dissatisfied with himself, why is he so memorized?I can't remember such a little thing, alas.

"It's okay, you're from martial arts, it doesn't matter if you're a bit short on literature, I'll wait for you when you take the exam. After you finish the martial arts exam, let's go to the Zhuangyuan building to have a good meal!" Yan Sui told Xie Chenxing Cheer up.

Xie Chenxing glanced at Yan Sui, and said, "Zhuangyuan Building? How expensive is that? How can we afford to eat? You comfort me and encourage me so I can't just talk big. A meal at Linxian Pavilion will be very good."

"I wrote some poems for someone, transferred some small money, plus the rest of this trip, I'm sure I can eat a meal, don't underestimate me."

"Yan Sui, you can do it!" Xie Chenxing exclaimed.

"Hmm." Yan Sui directly covered Xie Chenxing's mouth, and whispered in his ear: "Take it easy, you just need to know about making money."

But it has already attracted the attention of others. These two people came together for the exam, and now they behave intimately. Could it be... two broken sleeves...

Looking at the one who is close, I don't believe it if it's not a broken sleeve...

They are all good-looking, I can't hang with both of them...

The eyes of the people around them have changed, with contempt, disdain, admiration, surprise, envy, all kinds of eyes gathered together, they can stare at Xie Chenxing and Yan Sui.

"Yan Sui, you...stay away from me, many people are staring at us."

Yan Sui blushed immediately, and was three feet away from Xie Chenxing, why was he so excited just now, didn't he just make some extra money, now everyone must have misunderstood.

Now everyone is open, and it is harmless for a woman to go outside, but her sleeves are broken... I am afraid that it can only be said quietly, and it cannot be said on the stage, but now everyone must have misunderstood it, how good it is.

When the magistrate checked the papers, he specifically picked out the one from Yan Sui. Just now, the young man had finished answering the questions early. He looked confident and thought he would hand in the papers early, but he didn't. Instead, he checked it again. He was very cautious. It should be a good seedling, so I paid extra attention.

The person this kid was staring at just now is called Xie Chenxing... I picked them out and looked at them together.

Comparing the two papers, it is obvious that Yan Sui's answer is good, comprehensive, unpretentious, without fancy embellishments, but it seems that this article is not so boring.

But Xie Chenxing's...Although it is also plain and unpretentious, but...it seems that Jiang Lang has exhausted his talents. He repeated these few words over and over again, and the answer is not comprehensive, but it can be seen that he should be from the same school, and many of the key points are the same.

"Your Majesty, this Xie Chenxing is the first in the martial arts." The examiner beside him reminded, seeing the emperor holding two comparison sheets, his brows were tightly frowned, fearing that his impression would be bad, so he had to remind him.

Talents with both civil and military skills are still in the minority. It is already very good to be able to answer this in a liberal arts subject, although it is only passable in a liberal arts subject.

Martial arts first?Then these two boys are interesting, they come from the same school, one is good at literature, the other is good at martial arts, they match just right, complement each other, they are not bad.

Xie Chenxing and Yan Sui certainly didn't know that they already had a good impression in the emperor's heart, and they were still laughing and cursing outside the door.

After lunch, Xie Chenxing went to the examination room, Yan Sui was waiting for him outside, the sun was shining brightly, a bit sinister, Yan Sui found a shady place to stay, but he was thinking about Xie Chenxing, is it okay in such a hot day?

But speaking of it, Xie Chenxing, the little devil, has rough skin and thick flesh, so he will be exposed to the sun if he is exposed to the sun. It is good for him not to be exposed to the sun, and stay in a cool place for a while.

"Yan Sui, why are you here?" The person who spoke was Bai Xichen, he was surprised to see Yan Sui here, after all, Yan Sui should have finished the exam...

"Xie Chenxing is taking the exam, wait for him."

The one next to Bai Xichen is... why is he taking the girl around the examination room?

"That's it. Come on, this is my sister, Bai Xiyang." Bai Xichen looked at Bai Xiyang again and said, "This is Yan Sui. I met him when I went to pray for blessings."

"I've met you, Young Master." Bai Xiyang bowed slightly.

"Hello, girl." Yan Sui felt a little uncomfortable, and had never talked to a girl so close to her other than relatives.

Who hasn't seen Bai Xiyang in this capital, the handsome young man?But this Yan Sui really made her look crazy, delicate and handsome, with a bit of resoluteness between the brow bones, not particularly feminine, the temperament on her body can't be imitated by anyone, she is out of the world, "clean and not Demon, come out of the mud without being stained." Very clean, not polluted by worldly interests, and born pure and white.

For Bai Xiyang, this...is the reincarnation of a fairy, and of course it only stops at the "good-looking" level, without much other emotions.

"Yan Sui, wait for Chen Xing to come out and come to see us in the Zhuangyuan building. I'll take my sister to have two bowls of tea first. I'll treat you to dinner today. Congratulations on making it all the way to the capital!" Bai Xichen smiled is happy.

"Okay, take your sister there first, I'll call Shang Chenxing to come later."

"Hey, I'm leaving now." Bai Xichen pulled his sister away.

"Goodbye, little master." Bai Xiyang followed suit.

Yan Sui nodded.

Bai Xichen still has a younger sister. When he went to their Confucius Temple alone, he seemed to have nothing to worry about. He didn't expect to have a younger sister... It's just that he didn't want to get in touch with that so-called Bai Xiyang.

About half an hour later, Xie Chenxing left the examination room, the smile on his face couldn't stop, obviously, he performed very well, Yan Sui didn't need to ask, Xie Chenxing would post it himself.

"Yan Sui! Young master is solid this time! I played very well, just wait and see me on the gold list, hehe." Xie Chenxing has indeed practiced very well in the past few years, but... the talents are everywhere Yes, if you want to be named on the gold list, it's still difficult...

Yan Sui didn't expect to be the number one scholar at all, he just wanted to get a better grade in the exam, get a foothold in the capital, become a small official, and get promoted bit by bit with his own efforts.

In this complicated era, I have no background at all, and I rely on my own efforts to get ahead. It is too difficult. People with backgrounds are full of talents, but only a small number of them have been discovered and can be reused.

"I just met Bai Xichen. He and her sister are in the Zhuangyuan building. Let's find him, let's go."

"Yan Sui! Won't you give me something to respond to?" Xie Chenxing played childish temper again.

"What do I want to say? It's fine if you think it's good. Don't be burdened. Let's go to dinner first and ask Bai Xichen how he did in the exam." Yan Sui took this very seriously but was relieved.

Inside the champion building.

"Brother, who is that age similar to yours just now?" Bai Xiyang asked with some tentativeness. Although the young man is handsome and handsome, if he is a hard-working scholar, then her favorability can only be limited. Stop here, in this capital, without any power, she will not have any charming thoughts, and her parents will not agree.

"I met that guy when I went to pray at the Confucius Temple in Nanxun last time. He also has a good friend who is talented in both literature and military. And we chatted very well. There were many topics. Deep friend."

"That's also a scholar. He seems to be quite a scholar."

"I heard that when I didn't go to school with Xie Chenxing, I was a scholar. After Xie Chenxing stayed with him for a long time, Yan Sui became stronger."

He's just a bookworm, Bai Xiyang pursed his lips, meaning nothing.

Xie Chenxing was the same as when he went to school in the past, he talked one after another, and walked slowly to the Zhuangyuan Building. After arriving, Xie Chenxing was cramped, and he was shy in his pocket, so don't bother to go in. On the way just now, he even boasted to kill Bai Xichen. Being poor, now it's time to lose face, Yan Sui smiled, and directly grabbed Xie Chenxing's hand with his sleeves, and pulled him into the Zhuangyuan building.

Xie Chenxing was so overwhelmed by Yan Sui's sudden action that he almost forgot to cross the steps to enter the door. He stumbled and rushed towards Yan Sui alone. Fortunately, he had some foundation. Sui's small body fell to the ground.

After Xie Chenxing stabilized the two of them and continued to walk in, according to Bai Xichen, they should be in the cubicle, just ask.

"Shopkeeper, do you know where a man and a woman are sitting in the cubicle?"

"Envy flowers."

"Okay, thank you."

Xie Chenxing and Yan Sui did not let go of their hands together, they were still holding each other tightly, Xie Chenxing was in front, Yan Sui was behind, for some reason, Xie Chenxing seemed to feel ashamed all of a sudden.

The shopkeeper looked at the hands held together by the two young men, and could only tsk inwardly, what a good-looking person, no matter how good he is.

Xie Chenxing pulled Yan Sui to the door of "Xianhua", and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

"Yo, long time no see Bai Xichen." Xie Chenxing dragged Yan Sui into the cubicle, and greeted Bai Xichen.

"Long time no see, how is the exam?"

"Young Master, is it okay?" Xie Chenxing raised his eyebrows.

Bai Xiyang watched from the side, but he was a master who let go, why is he so shameless...

"This girl is..."

"Oh." Bai Xichen was so excited that he almost forgot to introduce his sister, "This is my sister, how is it? Does she look very juicy?"

"Brother, don't make fun of me." Bai Xiyang pushed Bai Xichen with a coquettish tone.

"Okay, okay, I won't make fun of you. Come on, this is Xie Chenxing's. You have met Yan Sui next to him earlier." Bai Xichen rubbed Bai Xiyang's head.

"Hello, sister Xiyang." Xie Chenxing was not polite, and directly followed Bai Xichen to call his sister.

Slick tongue.

"Thank you, Mr. Yan, hello, Mr. Yan."

"Hi girl." Yan Sui replied out of politeness, a little coldly.

"hello."

Bai Xichen took the two of them to a seat, and went to order the shopkeeper to serve some dishes.

"Xiaobai, how did you do in the exam today?"

"It doesn't feel bad. The type Yan Sui mentioned before was really tested. I'm really grateful to him." Bai Xichen took a sip of his drink and answered slowly. When he found out what Xie Chenxing called him, he blew up again. "I've said it all, don't call me Xiaobai! Xiaobai is the name of a dog, I don't know."

Yan Sui stood beside him calmly, and said: "Xichen, you don't know, Chen Xing... When he first met me, he got out of the dog's hole at home, so he has special feelings for dogs... Please forgive me."

interesting!Bai Xichen's eyes on Xie Chenxing were full of teasing, this local little devil would sneak into a dog's hole when he came out to play, really hahaha he caught Xie Chenxing's trick!

Xie Chenxing became furious, picked a big piece of pastry and stuffed it into Yan Sui's mouth, pressed it hard to prevent him from speaking, and quickly explained, "The one I came out of is not a dog hole! It's a corner collapsed, we don't keep it. dog's!"

"Oh~" Bai Xichen expressed his understanding, but the tone of his voice turned 180 degrees in this "oh", and he couldn't stop his joy.

Bai Xiyang watched from the side and couldn't help laughing. My brother really likes staying with them. His smile is very real. She has never seen a smile that she has seen a few times, but she smiles so openly in front of these two people. , but she... can't see anything good, this Xie Chenxing, who barks his teeth and claws, is reckless, and this Yan Sui, is really good, but he is very cold, how did he communicate with him?

"Ah... Bai Xichen, let me tell you... Yan Sui! What to eat? Listen to me, oh, don't eat, pop! See if you dropped your chopsticks haha." Xie Chenxing was talking alone He kept talking, and the other three people didn't talk much and listened to his babbling.

Bai Xiyang felt that she shouldn't be out with her brother today, who would be involved in this, it's so annoying... the girls are not so annoying.

The four of them ate until sunset in the afternoon, watching the lanterns hanging high outside, after all, there was still the daughter's family present, so it was not too late, they said goodbye to each other, Xie Chenxing and Yan Sui went back to the inn, Bai Xichen took his younger sister home.

Xie Chenxing dragged Yan Sui around outside again, admiring the night view of the capital, the lanterns were hung high, the lights were brightly lit, and the moon was bright and white.The lights in the restaurant are warm and the candles are flickering, making the guests feel like they are coming home.The two walked casually, and Xie Chenxing saw a store, which was decorated extraordinarily exquisitely, so he dragged Yan Sui, wanting to go in and have a look.

A two-story building, with colorful flags fluttering and red satin fluttering outside, looking in from the window outside, the pink light makes people feel drunk, and the stage inside can be vaguely seen.The girl was dancing inside, with her slender waist twisted and her long sleeves brushing, her figure was very good.Moving left and right, Xie Chenxing had never seen such a dance before, his throat tightened, and he wanted to drag Yan Sui in to have a look.

"Hey, Yan Sui looks pretty nice. We haven't seen it anywhere. Let's go in and have a look. Speaking of which, do you know what kind of store this is?"

Yan Sui shook his head. He didn't know what this place was. Looking at the exterior and the poems on the outside window, it should be a place with a lot of cultural connotations. Xie Chenxing decided to go in if he wanted to. It just so happened that he also wanted to see how different this capital city is.

The two walked to the gate, and there were two silks and satins hanging on the gate, which were made of silk and translucent, which made the light inside a little softer, and the voice of singing from inside came over, like Huang Yinger, very clear, It is very different from Jiangnan Xiaoqu, and it has two flavors.

Jiangnan ditty has its own softness and glutinousness, while this capital's tune is Hongliang, with its heroic heroism and the heroic aura of not giving in to traitors. Two different styles, both of which are very pleasant to listen to, crisping the ears.

There is a plaque above the door, the name is called "Arbor Xiusi", there are trees in the south, it is impossible to think about it.There are wandering women in the Han Dynasty, which cannot be thought of.Love poems?Yan Sui has never read it, so it should be just based on the literal meaning, love poems as the name...then what does this store do?

I heard that there are quite a lot of brothels in the capital city, so it can't be that?Yan Sui shuddered in thought, he had read before that brothels always pull you and don't let go, Xie Chenxing went in so carelessly, no, he can't go in, he better ask others before talking.

"Chenxing, slow down, go and ask what this store does before going in."

"Oh, what's the point of asking, you can just go in, hurry up! Don't whine, act like a man, okay?" Xie Chenxing dragged Yan Sui into it.

However, Xie Chenxing was too strong, and Yan Sui couldn't break free, so he could only let Xie Chenxing drag him into the door. The inside was luxurious, much more refined than ordinary theaters...

The candlelight swayed with the dancers' long sleeves. There were many curtains inside, made of gauze and silk, one by one, vaguely revealing the men who were drinking and eating meat inside... There were also curtains on the side. Accompanied by a young lady.

Yan Sui saw a young lady...in the body of a man...but on the other side was a woman. What does this mean? Where is it? The girl performing on the stage was tall and slender, and she looked like a man performing in women's attire , this... Xie Chenxing asked him about his addiction to broken sleeves before, but this time it won't be such a coincidence.I don't know if it's a brothel or a men's house... Here, what face is there, two men come to such a place together.

Shameless! ! !I do not know rest! ! !

Xie Chenxing wanted to go deeper, but was dragged in by a woman. Yan Sui knew where this place was, and hurried forward to talk to the woman.

"We came for the imperial examination. My classmate walked in without knowing where this is. I'm going to pull him out. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You are doing your business. I took him away. Please let him go." Thank you." Yan Sui grabbed Xie Chenxing's wrist and tried to pull it away.

The woman saw that they were indeed scholars, so she didn't say anything more, let Xie Chenxing go, Yan Sui hurriedly pulled Xie Chenxing outside... Xie Chenxing followed Yan, who suddenly became stronger, in a daze Sui walked out with the same footsteps, and only after he got out the door did he ask, "Yan Sui, why are you dragging me out?"

"Let's go back to the inn first, and I'll tell you after we go back, get out of here first, don't look around, go back." Yan Sui's tone was impatient, his face was slightly flushed, the sky was too dark, Xie Chenxing didn't notice, On the contrary, when Yan Sui turned around, he pressed his palm to his face, feeling a little hot.

Returning to the inn relatively silently, Xie Chenxing went straight into Yan Sui's room carelessly. The rooms of the two are connected and there is a door that can be opened. What does the shopkeeper say is a family room?

But Xie Chenxing went straight into his room today, and it looked like he wasn't going to leave tonight, Yan Sui was also very helpless, probably because he just dragged him out and didn't see enough of being here... just puffed up.This Xie Chenxing is also sixteen years old, why does he feel that he is only half his age, an eight-year-old yellow-mouthed child, playing with his temper.
