[Rebirth] Talking Fox

It took a long time to get out of Linyang City, and it was already the twelfth lunar month when the two arrived in the capital.

It goes without saying that the capital is prosperous, but compared with Linyang City, it is more orderly. After all, it is under the feet of the emperor, and there are more rules to do things. What can be seen on the bright side is always a glamorous side.

The candidates who went to Beijing to participate in the examination came from all states and counties from all corners of the country, and there were not a few who came here a few years ago. You can see men with a bookish look all over the street.

Many of those who were able to enter the imperial court as officials came by recommendation, and most of those who took the imperial examination were ordinary people from ordinary families, especially the elderly, who could see their poverty and poverty.

Bai Li didn't understand these things, and You Qing told him all the way along the way, saying that there are more than ten million people who study hard in ten years of hardship, and how many people can get the first place in one day?

There are frail scholars all over the street. The older they are, the harder they are. Some of them have to study for many years to qualify for the exam, and some of them fail to pass the exam again and again, and they have to study again and again. Test.

Bai Li was terrified when he heard that, even though he knew that You Qing would definitely be the top student in high school, he still couldn't help asking: "If Ah Qing doesn't pass the exam this time, will he take the exam again next time?"

"No." You Qing replied without hesitation.

"Why not?" Bai Li was a little puzzled, but then laughed again, "Is Ah Qing sure that he can pass the exam?"

You Qing smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm [-]% sure, but there are people beyond people, there is a sky beyond the sky, and there is no absolute justice in the world, so I don't have much hope."

Bai Li was even more puzzled when he heard this: "Then why did you say you won't take the exam anymore?"

"Fool, there are thousands of ways to survive in this world, why should I cling to this single-plank bridge?"

Bai Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grabbed his sleeve and laughed brightly: "Ah Qing, since you don't want to be a high-ranking official, then we can go back and do something else. Stay inside, I can't even go in and take care of you..."

You Qing looked at him amusedly: "How do you know that you have to stay inside day and night for the exam?"

Bai Li's heart skipped a beat, and only then did he realize that he had slipped his tongue, so he quickly collected himself and said, "I walked all the way before, and listened to what others said."

You Qing didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "You have good hearing, but I didn't hear it."

Bai Li looked proud: "I have good ears and eyes!"

You Qing looked at his smug look, with a smile in his eyes, and couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his head.

Although Bai Li is a book boy, he has never acted like a book boy. A simple bun with a light-colored streamer draped over his shoulders along with a dark black silk, looks very eye-catching no matter which side you look at.Coupled with the fact that Qingfeng is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, the two of them have already attracted a lot of attention when they walked on the street.At this time, You Qing's behavior towards him revealed an indescribable intimacy, which even attracted the attention of passers-by.

You Qing noticed the sight that fell on him, and then he came back to his senses, and quickly took his hands away, not in any mood of regret, but because his gaffe was a bit funny, thinking that since he took in this fool, he often lost his mind, really I can't wait to hold his face up and rub it well.

Sighing helplessly, he turned his eyes away from him, and said with a soft smile, "Let's go, first find a place to stay."

Bai Li nodded, followed him for two steps, suddenly remembered that the previous topic had been accidentally diverted, and felt itchy again, tugged at You Qing's sleeve, and asked, "Ah Qing, since you don't want to be a high-ranking official?" , why do you still want to take part in the test? Why don’t we go back?”

You Qing was a little surprised by his persistence, and looked at him suspiciously: "You want me to go back?"

"It's not..." Bai Li lowered his eyelashes to cover up his guilty conscience, "If Ah Qing can become a high-ranking official, she won't have to live such a poor life in the future. I'm too happy, why would I not want to? But... the exam It's so hard, I heard that some people will faint in it, I'm worried..."

Feeling warm in You Qing's heart, he picked up the hand hanging by his side, then thought of the situation at this time, pinched it twice and then released it, and said with a smile: "I am different from other scholars. I have also done some simple things since I was young. Farm work, how can I be so weak? Besides, I am not obsessed with exams, but to fulfill my teacher's long-cherished wish."

"Ah?" Bai Li's attention was still on his pinched palm, he woke up suddenly after hearing his words, and looked up at him suspiciously, "Teacher?"

Seeing the confusion and surprise in his eyes, You Qing suddenly felt amused: "Could it be that you think my knowledge is brought from my mother's womb?"

"So Ah Qing also went to school?" Bai Li laughed. Although he had known You Qing for so long, he didn't know anything about what happened before the two met. At this moment, it sounded like You Qing was very close to him. Taking a step forward, I couldn't help but feel joy in my heart.

You Qing nodded with a smile, and couldn't help sighing when he thought of the past: "I need to pay tuition fees to go to school. I was not qualified to go to study. I hid outside and studied secretly for a year. After being discovered by my mentor, I thought I would be punished. Unexpectedly, he was very happy after making me write two poems, so he made an exception and let me in."

Bai Li listened carefully and nodded: "Master is a good person!"

You Qing couldn't laugh or cry when he repeatedly judged people as good people and bad people. Thinking that this was his rare simplicity, he didn't say anything, and continued: "My mentor has treated me a lot. Zhao Fu said that he had spent his whole life teaching and educating people in this remote village, and finally saw hope in me, and before he died, he still reminded him repeatedly, hoping that I would fulfill his long-cherished wish."

Bai Li didn't expect him to take the exam for this reason, so he stared blankly at him. Although he already knew what he was like, he couldn't help but think: I really didn't see the wrong person...

"If I am really lucky enough to be named on the gold list, my mentor will be able to smile at Jiuquan. Even if I fail, I will not regret it if I try my best."

"No, Ah Qing will definitely go to high school."

You Qing thought he was encouraging himself, so he smiled calmly, and then saw that his eyes were shining, and his dark eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and he couldn't help being surprised: "What's wrong?"

Bai Li opened his mouth, and tears fell down uncontrollably.

You Qing was startled, confused by his reaction, quickly pulled him to a deserted alley, raised his hand to wipe his face, and said anxiously: "What's the matter? Why are you crying? "

Bai Li asked him to comfort him, and immediately cried even more fiercely, sniffing tearfully: "Ah Qing, will you abandon me if you become the No. [-] scholar?"

You Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that, he wiped his face frantically, and said softly, "I won't leave you alone if you pass the exam or not. What are you thinking?"

"I don't know anything, but Ah Qing is going to be a high official..." When Bai Li thought of champions, princesses, and concubines, his heart felt like a knife, and he cried even harder, unable to stop.

You Qing had a headache and a heartache. He held his face and didn't know how to comfort him. His heart was in a mess, so he hugged him in his arms, and kept breathing on his head and back: "Okay Well, don't think about it, I won't care about you, I will bring you by my side if you pass the exam or not."

Bai Li was hugged by him unexpectedly, his heartbeat almost stopped, and suddenly he forgot to cry, a slight blush appeared on his tear-stained face, and his breathing became a little messy.

Seeing that he had calmed down, You Qing quickly distanced himself to look at him, raised his hands to hold his face and wiped his tears, with a helpless expression on his face: "I usually see you so stupid, why are you thinking so much? When will I say Do you want to leave it alone?"

Bai Li looked at the tenderness in his eyes, his heartbeat was fast and slow, his mouth was half-opened and he was aggrieved for a long time before he made a sound: "You didn't say, I thought of it myself..."

You Qing couldn't help laughing, seeing the blush on his cheeks that hadn't faded for a long time, his pair of smart eyeballs were moist, and the slender and raised eyelashes were still stained with tears, like two curtains of dew, this pear blossom Dai Yu's appearance didn't look fragile at all, on the contrary, he showed a unique stubbornness, which made him lose his mind again.

Being so close to him, Bai Li didn't feel sad at all. He sniffed, thinking that he was also a nine-tailed spirit fox after all. No purpose, let the princess like the ugliest and oldest minister in the court!

Thinking about it this way, the people who were crying so hard that they couldn't find the people in the southeast and northwest suddenly burst into tears, grabbed You Qing's hand and asked, "Ah Qing, where are we staying today?"

You Qing was about to say a few more words of comfort, but he didn't expect him to heal again. He felt a pain in his head after being stunned for a long time, and squeezed his face with a hand: "This face is changing faster than the sky in June, I'm rushing I can't make it in time."

Bai Li didn't care what he said at all, he felt happy when he pinched her, and her smile became even brighter.

After that, the two wandered around the street for another hour, and found a relatively cheap inn to live in. It was said to be cheap, but it was still a bit more expensive than Linyang City. After all, this is the capital city, no more than other places.

You Qing saw Bai Li buried his head in counting his purses with a distressed face, smiled and pulled him to his side, comforting him: "I'm just staying here temporarily, and I'll go to the Tribute Academy tomorrow to submit a name card to report, the exam is still a few months away, we You can find a house outside the city and rent an idle house from them for a few months, which can save you a lot of money."

Bai Li was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Of course." You Qing nodded, "Of course it's worth renting a room for a long-term stay. Even if you rent it in the city, it's much cheaper than staying in a hotel."

"Understood!" Bai Li nodded happily, turned around and put his purse away carefully, walked back and put his arms around You Qing's waist, and said with a smile, "It's clean outside the city, shall we live outside the city?"

You Qing stared straight into his bright eyes, was stunned for a moment, raised his arms to hug him, and said softly: "Okay."

Bai Li's heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't control the overflowing joy in his heart. He looked at him foolishly for a while, then leaned over and kissed him on the lips. After the kiss, he was suddenly taken aback by his actions.

Along the way, he was used to a sudden kiss before going to bed every night, but he had never done it during the day. At this time, he forgot the time when his mind became dizzy, and he could no longer pretend to be asleep. Turn around quickly.

You Qing held him tightly with one hand, then turned him around, looked at him deeply, until his breathing became confused, raised his hand to touch his face, the palm of his hand was tightly aligned with the exquisite lines of his face Fitting together, the drooping eyes approached him a little bit, but then stopped, the eyebrows and eyes of the two were very close.
