God, your rabbit fell

As soon as Lin Xuezhe heard Zhang Daoquan's voice, she straightened her body, turned around, saluted respectfully, and answered "Yes".

Ruan Xiaoqi knew that a "stubborn stone" like herself was not worthy of listening to the conversation between Puyu, so she obediently picked up the test box and left the classroom.Zhang Daoquan snorted coldly when he saw him go, and tapped the stack of sprinkles on the table with his fingers, "Come on, who copied this?"

"Of course it's Xiaoqi."

"Heh, Ruan Xiaoqi's pheasant paw-like characters, I can't see it?" Zhang Daoquan twisted his beard and sighed often, "Ruan Xiaoqi is very stubborn and untamed. General Ruan sent him to the academy , but to find a cage to lock him up and not let him go out to cause trouble. Therefore, I don't ask him to be named on the gold list, but you are different."

Zhang Daoquan paused, seeing that Lin Xuezhe just lowered his head and said nothing, obediently obedient to the training, he cleared his throat again, "You come from a famous family, you are stable and intelligent, you will surely answer questions in the palace in the future, and your future is boundless. However, You must know that if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black, and you must not get too close to a rotten tree like Ruan Xiaoqi."

Lin Xuezhe couldn't help defending Ruan Xiaoqi at this time, his posture was still modest, but what he said was very unpleasant, "Although Xiao Qi is a bit naughty, but he is pure and lively, with a heart like a child. The many bookworms who are trying to catch their fame are much better. Therefore, the students dare not agree with what the master said."

Lin Xuezhe had never contradicted his teacher before, and when he contradicted, he dared to call his master a "bookworm", which made Zhang Daoquan so angry that his temperament suddenly changed drastically.

"Presumptuous! How dare you be so rude!"

I saw that the old pedant's neck was flushed red, his eyeballs staring at him seemed to pop out, his beard was trembling, he grabbed the inkstone on the table and slammed it towards the door, "Ruan Xiaoqi's evil spirit is all over his body. , really brought you down!"

Lin Xuezhe didn't rush to refute, but turned around and picked up the inkstone that was smashed at one corner, and put it on the desk respectfully.Only then did Zhang Daoquan's breathing become a little more stable, but Lin Xuezhe raised his head to look at him at this moment, paused every word, gently and modestly, "Master, the saint said: My silence is strange and distracting."

"You—" Zhang Daoquan became angry for a while, the wrinkles on his face almost folded together, "Get out!"

Lin Xuezhe was very obedient at the moment, and left after politely saluting, while Zhang Daoquan stared at his back with such ferocity as if he wanted to cut him open.

It wasn't until the door closed with a "squeak" that Zhang Daoquan's bloodshot eyes gradually recovered, revealing some confusion.

And the cornerless inkstone on the table quietly returned to its original shape at some point, and even the ink stains that were splashed just now disappeared without a trace.

In the spring of March [-]th, the rankings were released, and the entrance of the ceremony courtyard was crowded with candidates who came to see the rankings, blocking the entire official street.There was a lot of voices, cars and horses were noisy, everyone looked up at the rankings, some congratulated each other for passing the exam, or cried bitterly for those who failed the exam, it was very lively.

Relying on his quick wit, Ruan Xiaoqi jumped to the front in one fell swoop, seeing that Lin Xuezhe was indeed nominated for the gold list, and also won the high school prize!

"Huiyuan! Huiyuan! Brother Lin San is Huiyuan!" He waved at Lin Xuezhe and ran out again, pulling Lin Xuezhe's arm in circles, his face blooming with a smile, his eyes They were almost squeezed out, and shouted loudly, "First Jieyuan, then Huiyuan, next month's palace test, third brother, you must be the champion! You won three yuan in a row, so amazing!"

Lin Xuezhe didn't like publicity, and was dazed by him, so she hurriedly pulled out her sleeves, glared at him and made a silent gesture at him.He raised his face and looked around, then frowned, "There are always a lot of talents in the imperial examination, I may not be the best. This time is just a fluke, if you talk big for me like this, what will you do if you get slapped in the face in the future?"

"It's impossible! Elder brother Lin San is the best!" Ruan Xiaoqi emphasized, "The best!"

Lin Xuezhe had nothing to do with him, and Ayang and Qingli who followed him also came together to beg for money, "Master, our master should be happy this time in high school. We have worked hard with you for so long, and you also feel sorry for us?"

"Third brother is in high school, why are you joining in the fun!" Ruan Xiaoqi pushed Ayang a little farther, and bent his waist, "You are my slave, what should I do with you!"

Ayang quietly took a step back and hid behind Lin Xuezhe, then stuck out his tongue at Ruan Xiaoqi, "My lord, I can't count on your bounty, and rubbing against third lord Lin is also very happy."

"You look down on me, don't you!"

Ruan Xiaoqi rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward to hit someone, but was stopped by Qinglan, and mysteriously raised his chin towards a small corner, "Look, who is that?"

Ruan Xiaoqi followed his gaze and saw Wen Ling.

Wen Ling was wearing a lake-blue dress with a string of magnolia-colored wreaths, elegant and generous.The veil on her head was lifted by her, and she was standing in a secluded place looking towards the courtyard, her eyes were worried, and she didn't know who she was looking for.

"I heard that a group of prostitutes in Pingkang will be redeemed every year when the rankings are released. Miss Wen is looking forward to coming to the ritual courtyard. I don't know if her benefactors have been selected."

After Ayang talked a lot, he looked at Ruan Xiaoqi with a smile, "Young Master Qi, it seems that someone has got there first."

"Tch, I don't believe anyone can do better than Lin San!" Ruan Xiaoqi's fighting spirit was aroused all of a sudden, and he hugged Lin Xuezhe's arm and shouted, "Sister Wen!"
