Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

Back at the inn, Xiaoer brought them tea.

"Second brother, where is the place where a lot of scholars gather around here?" Shen Bai lit the oil lamp and prepared to read.

"There is a Xiangwen tea house near Baihe Academy, which is a place where many scholars like to drink tea." The second brother introduced: "There is also a Qixin chess club."

"Thank you very much." Shen Bai thanked, he needed some information to weigh the exam.

After Xiaoer left, Shen Bai took out "Contemporary Collections" to read.

This book contains eleven articles written by authors with "humor names", and all articles are divided into eleven articles.

They are respectively "Heaven and Earth Chapter", which talks about the metaphor of the inheritance of the old and the young, and the whole story implies that the crisis of today's Dafeng Dynasty is that there is no clear context for the inheritance of heirs, creating an unprecedented vacuum, and the It lists the civil wars caused by the lack of heirs in the early dynasty of Emperor Hui.

After reading it, Shen Bai thought of his brother-in-law Yu Wentuo's bloodbath against the Song royal family, and couldn't help but feel that this article is so powerful. From a simple point of view, it is just an explanation based on the inheritance of heaven and earth, but From the point of view of the previous life, Shen Bai felt that this article had "the intention of protecting the king".

From an emperor's shrewd point of view, whether he knows such a book, and what his attitude will be after knowing it, these are very interesting hypotheses, Shen Bai closed the book.

He doesn't know the details of the Dafeng dynasty, but he can gradually understand the dynasty of his brother-in-law Yu Wentuo through dreams.

The more so, he felt the horror of this article. Although the entire text contained the meaning of worrying about the country and the people, it had already spoken to the heavens. I'm afraid it's not something ordinary unknown students can do.

The second text is a sorting out of the foreign policy of the Dafeng Dynasty, called "The Law of Control", which talks about the review and sorting out of the foreign policies of the past dynasties, including the hidden dangers and successes of the dynasty's expansion of the territory .

The arguments are relatively neutral, and the perspective analysis and insights into the internal and external situation are comprehensive, which makes Shen Bai a little impressed.

Could it be that this person is handsome.

After reading the two articles, Long Qingchen had already spread the quilt.

"A Luo, it's too late, you should rest!" Long Qingchen called out.

Shen Bai looked at the bed, it's just a bed, it's easy to talk about in the cabin, but here.

"How about I sleep on the floor!" Shen Bai said.

"You are an honest gentleman, do you still have unruly intentions?" Long Qingchen asked him back.

Shen Bai got up and sat next to him: "Qingchen, do you know what it will do to your brother's reputation?"

Long Qingchen smiled: "I came out with you, it is hopeless to spread the word, what do you want me to argue for?"

Shen Bai remained silent, and nodded after a while: "What if I fail the exam?"

"Then I'll marry you." Long Qingchen looked at him, eyes flickering.

Shen Bai glanced at him, but didn't reply.

"You don't want to?" Long Qingchen asked bluntly.

"Go to sleep!" Shen Bai said, taking off his coat.

Long Qingchen didn't wait for the answer he wanted, and sat looking at Shen Bai.

"You sleep inside." Shen Bai said.

Only then did Long Qingchen get up, take off his coat, and sit on the bed.

Shen Bai blew out the lamp, Long Qingchen waited for him to lie down, then turned to look at him: "You didn't answer me."

"I don't win the exam, how do we live?" Shen Bai asked him.

"Have money to start a small business!" Long Qingchen said.

"I don't know how to do it." Shen Bai also turned to look at him, and the two could feel each other's breath in the dark night: "I won the prize, you have the final say on everything."

"Then if I miss, drive me away?" Long Qingchen said resolutely.

"Give me time to think about it." Shen Bai replied: "I, a poor scholar, have no idea who to marry. It must be Gao Pan to marry you, but I don't like Gao Pan."

"I don't understand." Long Qingchen stroked Shen Bai's face with his hand.

"It's not that simple to survive, let alone in such a world." Shen Bai sighed: "But don't worry, I will find a way to win."

"I want your answer." Long Qingchen said sadly.

"I must do what I promised, otherwise I will never make promises indiscriminately." Shen Bai also replied firmly.

Long Qingchen turned around sadly and turned his back to him.

Shen Bai was very confused, but he didn't say anything.

In the night dream, the "self" was already analyzing the changes of merchants for the Qiongzhou Rebellion, and was thinking foresight, which was a far-sighted view of current events.

But here 'myself' has not made any achievements.

However, in the conversation between them, many wonderful sentences discussed in current affairs made Shen Bai feel like nectar.In my heart, many political topics that I didn't know about were like dry and cracked land. I had a sense of rejection in my heart. Except for what I heard by chance, I almost isolated him in my own world on purpose.

Now these cracked lands are beginning to appear moist. With the earth, there will always be a time when the dead trees come back and the earth rejuvenates.

This land is more or less the accumulation of political common sense in Shen Bai's previous life.

And the opportunity in the dream is like the best teacher teaching a student who is not stupid. The things that can be seen intuitively in the dream are much more powerful than teaching by precept and deed.

This point is clearer in Shen Bai's heart.

Long Qingchen lay motionless, but he was not asleep, and his heart was silent.

Shen Bai beside him was also motionless, Long Qingchen quietly turned around and looked at him.

Shen Bai was as quiet as jade in his sleep, Long Qingchen secretly kissed him on the cheek, seeing if he didn't respond, then kissed him again on the mouth.

Shen Bai turned his body, which startled him, but after a long time, there was no movement.

Long Qingchen was sure that he was asleep, turned around, hugged his back and couldn't help muttering: "Slept to death like a pig."

When waking up in the morning, as usual, Shen Bai woke up first, Long Qingchen slept soundly in his arms, Shen Bai's arm was wrapped around his shoulder at some point, it was so sore under his pressure, and he didn't dare to twitch, For fear of waking him up, it would be even more embarrassing.

Long Qingchen felt that Shen Bai had woken up, and pretended to turn around so that he could pull out his hand.

Shen Bai sighed secretly, withdrew his hand, and stood up cautiously.

In the morning, the two of them calmly went to the surrounding morning market for breakfast.

Bean curd with deep-fried pancakes.

Long Qingchen likes to eat tea eggs very much, after looking at them twice, Shen Bai bought one, peeled off the shell for him, and handed it to him.

"You don't eat?"

Shen Bai shook his head.

Long Qingchen separated the egg into two halves, and handed half to Shen Bai. Shen Bai took it, and their fingers touched. Long Qingchen glanced at him, and Shen Bai frowned innocently.

After using it too early, Shen Bai took him to the waiter in the shop and talked about Xiangwen Tea House.

The tea house was indeed very lively. These days, the academy was mainly arranging homework for the students who took the exam. Many famous officials were invited to give lectures. Some young students, or students who did not take the exam, were suspended for a few days.

The two sat down near the inside of the teahouse.

"Two cups of tea, a plate of melon seeds." Shen Bai said.

Long Qingchen looked at him curiously: "Eat an extra egg in the morning and you'll be so generous. How can you be so generous?"

"I have something to listen to, you can drink tea and eat melon seeds quietly later." Shen Bai smiled faintly at him.

Long Qingchen sighed, Shen Luo was unpredictable in everything he did, but he managed to keep smiling at him all the time.

In fact, he didn't know that according to Shen Bai's character, being able to sleep with him for so long, the acceptance of him in his heart was already self-evident.

Maybe Shen Bai has too many scruples about the future, but he is the seed of infatuation, which can be seen from his father Shen Xueshi.

"This time the chief examiner is Prince Qi, so it can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to our Jiangnan!" A student swiped the tea cover and said.

Shen Bai said in his heart, he pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

"What do you know, this year is different from the past. There is some trouble in the northwest, and the imperial court has started to purge the officials. We are Prince Qi in the south of the Yangtze River, Prince Yue in the southwest, and Prince De in the northwest. The other examination rooms are all at the county level. It's time to go, the emperor is going to make great efforts to select talents." Some students retorted.

"Uh, do you think the chances of winning this year are greater?" The student who caused the topic just now asked curiously.

"Maybe, it may not be so fast this year, but it will definitely be the same next year." Other students concluded.

"Fortunately, we don't take the exam this year. Please tell me, the deputy examiner, it's Mr. Tong, my god! He is a reformed sect of the imperial court. He is a person who focuses on practical work. He has been in charge of the reclamation and commerce in the northwest before. He also proposed What, the reform of the tax system, can you tell me that reading the vain essays of ordinary students can catch his eyes?"

Shen Bai on the side listened, and he had a measure in his mind, and asked, "My dear friends, is Mr. Tong the main one who will mark the papers for this exam?"

The students at the table looked at him: "Of course, this year is different, the prince is the main examiner, but you think the prince will check the papers himself, at most the top three, I think the prince will read the papers."

Shen Bai nodded, and had the answer to the topic he wanted.

Coming out of the teahouse, Shen Bai took a long breath.

"A Luo, you know everything you want to know?" Qingchen asked seeing his relaxed expression.

"Well, now I want to know about Master Tong's experience." Shen Bai said.

"Master Tong's experience is no better than mine, brother Shen!" A familiar voice came from behind, Shen Bai turned his head and saw a middle-aged man holding a fan looking at Shen Bai and smiling as usual.

"My lord is here, Shen Luo is being rude." Shen Bai said in a low voice, which surprised Qing Chen.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man laughed, walked over, and the boy in the blue shirt was still beside him: "How did you guess my identity?"

"Your Excellency is the chief examiner, and your excellency is extraordinary, and you have an imperial surname. Just now you said that you know Mr. Tong's experience very well, so Shen boldly guessed your identity. If not, he is willing to be punished." Shen Bailuo replied.

"This explanation is good. It's a detailed analysis, and it's clear and logical. It's not good for me to deny it." Prince Qi quoted Wen Hao, looked at Shen Bai with a smile: "I arranged a banquet in Linjiang Pavilion, how about the two of you?"

Shen Bai nodded leisurely: "Dare not to obey, please!"

The four of them walked slowly along the streets along the river in Jiangzhou, watching the busyness of the wharf, the passing awning boats moored on both sides, and the unloading workers were busy.

"Before I ask some questions, I'm curious to ask Mr. Shen a question." Citing Wen Hao said calmly.

"My lord, please tell me." Shen Bai paced with his hands behind his back, not showing any cowardice just because he was a lord.

"You two, why are you together and still living together?" Citing Wenhao asked curiously, not concealing that he had been sending people to investigate and pay attention to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai looked at him and smiled slightly: "I said elope, what does the lord think?"

"Hahaha, elope? Well done, Mr. Shen has known people before, and Mr. Long is also a beautiful woman, so it is indeed worth running away for." Quoting Wen Hao's words made Long Qingchen's face blush.

"My lord has been taking care of me, should Shen be grateful, or what?" Shen Bai answered with a smile, meaning that you have been watching me all the time, just tell me what your purpose is.

Citing Wenhao really looked at him, and stood with him on the embankment by the river: "Everyone in the world doesn't love talent, and so do I, but look at my momentum?"

"My lord calls me not my lord, which shows that I can bend and stretch. Although he calls me, he has an extraordinary bearing, and there is a mountain piercing through the clouds and fog. What should the lord tell Shen to say?" Shen Bai hinted that he was wearing a suit. Like Yunfeng, reaching straight to the sky, the meaning in the words is self-evident, the deep clouds and fog are the aura that only dragons have.

Quoting Wenhao nodded and smiled: "Then how does Mr. Shen see himself?"

"I'm like Wushizui, it's a kind of fate to be able to see you across the lake." Shen Bai said directly.

"Jiangshan Sheji is like a great river and a great lake. It is not easy for you to be independent, but brother Shen, do you really just want to see me across the river?" Citing Wenhao openly expressed his intention of soliciting.

"My lord and I have already had a close relationship in rhythm, poetry and painting, and the separation is only a layer of smoke and rain, which is not enough. It is only whether there is a spirit of beauty on Wushi's mouth, which is worth looking at from Chuanyunfeng, otherwise Gaofu Temple Landing is not so easy." Shen Bai said calmly.

"Oh?" Ci Wenhao nodded: "You mean that the current Wushizui has a spirit of beauty only because of the Gaofu Temple."

"It's true in the eyes of ordinary people." Shen Bai glanced at him, and met his eyes: "But the prince is not an ordinary person, he saw the location of Wushizui and the Lingxiu in the forest of love flowers, and the place where he bowed and pierced the clouds. What can be obtained is extraordinary." Shen Bai explained.

The two people's words were simple and profound, which surprised both the blue-shirted boy and Long Qingchen.

Especially the blue-shirted boy who served Ci Wenhao, only now did he know that his master had a keen eye. This Shen Xiucai spoke with ease and elegance, with a calm and calm demeanor. He was definitely not a simple person.
