The restart of wealth-gathering life
Chapter 146 Where Do Customers Come From
Lin Yutong didn't expect to stay here for a long time, as long as he finds fourth master, I will do it to death.When these people can't bear it, they throw themselves out and finish the job.
I was grounded for three days, but in fact I just didn't leave the yard.The so-called get rid of the problem of not being picky eaters, ha ha!A box of jewelry was misfortune, and food for three days was exchanged.These three days have been relatively easy to eat, Huang Sanniu can be selected, which proves that she is as smart as anyone else.She even knew that she was not knowledgeable enough, and she never ordered dishes according to her own preferences.Instead, ask Qiao Mo'er what he ordered first, and what Shao Yao ordered. One of these two is from a family background, and the other has seen the world in the Duke's mansion.The order is ready, and it suits the appetite of Miss Lin Yutong, so I can exchange for more jewelry.
Anyway, it was Huang Sanniu who played herself out. In order to continue to maintain a heartless state, Lin Yutong really ate and ate, craved, and the meaty one still looked like a fleshy one.
After three days, the ban will be partially lifted.I can go out of the yard where I live, but at most I can take a walk in the yard I entered. Moreover, Nanny Fang and the servants are living in the yard ahead, want to go out?Don't even think about it.Just enter the courtyard three times, you can do whatever you want.If there is no specific task, you can do whatever you want.
But this randomness makes smart people think too much.It's like a matchmaker, who knows that she is from Yihonglou, and a girl from a decent family will not be with her.So I was very self-conscious and retreated back to read books and practice calligraphy. This will never be said to be frivolous and ignorant of duty.
Like Shaoyao, as I said before, her back is not straight.In fact, when she is not facing her master, her back is straight.Although Lin Yutong is not from the Duke's mansion, he is of the Duke's blood.As long as the Duke is still alive, the county lord and his young masters are more important than the young masters and ladies in the mansion.
Therefore, Lin Yutong was the only one who made her bend down unconsciously and feel humble.So, she deliberately avoided Lin Yutong's.At least for now it works.
Then, the only one who can talk to Lin Yutong is Qiao Mo'er.
But Lin Yutong didn't like Qiao Mo'er coming to accompany her, she had a lot of things to do, and she had a lot of secrets to hide, so, after Qiao Mo'er came to accompany her twice in a row, while talking, Lin Yutong just After secretly pressing her sleeping hole and falling asleep completely, Qiao Mo'er didn't say anything about it again.
Then Lin Yutong was free, looked at every corner of the three-entry courtyard, and found a small door in a very secret corner.This door is hidden behind the flowers and trees, and it is used by the handymen who come in to clean it.It's like the toilet every day, someone carries it out, but it is absolutely impossible to carry it through the gate carelessly. There must be a special place for them to go, and they found it after turning around.The place was not so tightly locked, and she almost estimated the time when these people came in and out, so she slipped out.
When it comes out, except for the general mountain scenery rendered by paint, the rest is basically invisible.No matter how you turn the angle to see the overall picture of the whole building, it doesn’t work.Then you need to know more: how many courtyards are there now, what kind of buildings are there besides such courtyards, and so on.
This angle is invisible.Then choose a place where you can see the whole picture.Looking up, you can see a few pillars indistinctly, as if inserted into the clouds, and you can't see the bottom when you go down, or the top when you go up.If it wasn't for being down-to-earth now, she really thought she had gone to heaven.Is the Nantian Gate in the sky also like this, with such a giant pillar?
So, she walked along the trails that these handymen often walked, and occasionally she could see some roads paved with bluestone slabs. She didn't know where these bluestone slabs led. Yes, she went through it, and ended up on the main road.The ground is made of bluestone, and it is spotlessly clean.The road is so wide that it feels like ten carriages can run in parallel.And the pavement is not paved, it is more like shoveled.Looking back from here, the cornices of buildings can be seen in the mist.However, the terrain is high and low, and how many buildings there are are still invisible.She continued to walk in the direction of the pillar, but who knew that at the end of the road was a big rock, which was like a hill, blocking the way and also blocking the view to the outside.She had no choice but to go around this boulder, but as soon as she came out, she couldn't run anymore, and the steward Tsing Yi was standing here.When she saw the steward, she saw the chaotic crowd waiting outside.
All of these people were excited, and some even knelt down, clinging to the ground tightly in a worshiping posture.
The steward in Tsing Yi folded his hands and looked at Lin Yutong leisurely.Lin Yutong stood beside him, watching the commotion outside solemnly.
He didn't make a sound, and Lin Yutong ignored him.The two were in a stalemate like this, Lin Yutong looked out, and he stared at Lin Yutong to size up.
Lin Yutong didn't expect to meet fourth master, but in the current situation, isn't it embarrassing?She could only watch calmly, and then tried to discuss with the steward, "You said how did these people come to the capital, and each of them looked like they were fished out of a pickle jar..."
The steward hummed.
Lin Yutong pretended not to understand, and continued to look for topics, "These people are just as unlucky as I am, and I don't know why you are attracted to us, and you were brought in like this. They are very happy now, but they don't know what crimes are waiting for them. Well. I haven’t entered the door now, I’m afraid there’s still time to run, don’t act like me, you probably won’t let me go out if you want to.”
The manager squinted at her, "It's hard for you to know this."
I know this.That's all Lin Yutong could tell others.
"Knowing that you still ran out?" He said, "Which hall did you come from? What are you going to do?"
"Didn't I say, I want to go out, I want to go home, I don't want to stay here anymore, so I still ask?" Lin Yutong's tone was more impatient than him, "Ask which hall I came from? This is your place, I Locked up by you, how do I know where it is? No one told me!"
"Then let me ask you, how did you get out?"
"He came out! Or what?"
"Where did you come from?"
"Come out of the door!"
Hey!It doesn't make sense, does it?Are you deliberately playing sloppy?
The steward was almost annoyed, "Then tell me, what's your name? The surname of the chaperone?" After asking, he thought the girl had to fight, but he saw the girl staring at a certain place outside the door. Looking at the past with this gaze, there are people wandering around in a mess, how do you know which one she is looking at?
Lin Yutong saw fourth master, and he was sure that fourth master also saw her.She almost instinctively wanted to run over, because the fourth master was so miserable, it would not be too much to say that he came out of a pickle jar.The clothes on his body are wrinkled, and he probably smells like pickled vegetables when he smells them.
Of course, this one in my family has a pickle flavor, and it must be an old pickle from a top pickle workshop!
She stepped out with one foot, but fourth master quickly shook his head, it was not a good idea to come out, and it was even less a good idea to come here.
That's right!Since everyone is here, you can always see them.Maybe it's more convenient than meeting in other places.With a decision in my heart, who cares what is in charge.Turning her face to see that he was also looking into the crowd at this moment, she took two steps back quietly, and then ran away, turning around the boulder, and ran directly into the nearby woods, regardless of whether there was a path through it, Hide it first.
The steward felt that it was a blink of an eye, and then no one was seen.If you want to chase, order is still waiting at the door, and then they will be dispatched to enter the door.He doesn't have time to take care of that girl right now, as long as he doesn't go out of the gate, it's fine.want to run?It must be impossible to run away, how capable is the little girl?This temple study is not something you can come and go whenever you want.It looks unobstructed, but I don't know how many people are hiding in the dark.
Lin Yutong really didn't know that someone was following her at the time. After she was able to run around in the woods, she knew that she was followed.Originally, I thought I could take advantage of today's chaos and get acquainted with the temple studies, but now it's obviously not possible.She pretended not to know the way, but as a result, at any fork in the road, it seemed that there was some noise in the place she was passing through, making her unable to go.She can only be 'forced' to go the right way, and then go all the way to the small door that came out.
The door was locked, Lin Yutong didn't hesitate, walked around the door confidently, and then knocked on the door by himself, and when the people inside opened the door and saw Lin Yutong, it was like seeing a ghost.
She ignored no one and was about to go back to her room when she entered, but was blocked by Nanny Fang leading her.Nanny Fang got the news a long time ago, so she just waited at the back door, waiting for her to knock on the door, but it turned out that she was a good person, and came in through the big gate grandly. "I said, don't leave the yard!" Mother Fang looked at Lin Yutong, "This is the second time you have committed a crime."
"I didn't want to go out of the yard, but you didn't tell me that the door leads to the outside." Lin Yutong pointed over there, "I just turned around in the yard, and then I saw a door, the door was open, I I went out. There were flowers and trees outside the door. I thought it was the garden in the yard, so I turned around and couldn’t find the way back, so I realized that I came out. Didn’t I find it again? Why are you so Fierce? This is simply because Mammy didn’t speak clearly, so how can you blame me? If you want to punish me for this, I won’t accept it! Such temple learning is just a name for nothing.” She said, staring at these people, "What's so fierce, you caused me to be outside alone, what if I meet bad people? Can you afford it?"
Mother Fang's face turned blue, but she didn't get angry with Lin Yutong anymore, and she didn't mention the punishment. She just said to the woman who followed, "In the future, you will watch the handymen when they come in and out, and guard the door. You won't be allowed to take a step Leave." After speaking, he turned to Lin Yutong, although his tone of voice was stiff, but he also wanted to express his gentleness, "Go and rest, it's getting late, it's time for dinner. Read more, the people selected from all over the country have arrived one after another, and the exam is not far away, so don't waste time anymore."
Okay!
Whatever you say will do.
The fourth master has already arrived, and he is in one place after all, so he feels more at ease and more at ease.After running for a long time today, I just feel that my physical strength really can't keep up.I want to practice, but I am afraid of being discovered.Only in the bath, here is a place where you can relax for a while every day, and you can also try to practice in the water, nothing else, just keep up with your physical fitness.
As for the exam, I told him to read a book.I didn't plan to pass the exam, so I read some books.
After fourth master came in, the situation was slightly different from Lin Yutong's.Maybe it's the difference between men and women!Two or three people are assigned to a room.Except for the bed, most things in the house are shared.There are not many clothes, one black and one white, and they are hung in their respective bed cabinets, and then there are their own toiletries, one for each person, and they are placed at the entrance of the bathroom.
Fourth master, the scholar, and the patch boy were grouped together. They got to know each other on the road and had a foundation of trust.
The other two were surprised when they came in, the patch boy was surprised by everything he saw, and the scholar was facing the bookshelf wishing he could carry it on his back.Before the two of them could react, Fourth Master went to the bathroom first, took a shower and changed his clothes. His hair was loose and hadn't been combed yet. Someone came to collect the dirty clothes, and waited for the other two to come out. The clothes have been washed, dried and ironed.
Fourth Master ate, and his hair was almost dry, so he found a bed and put down the curtains to sleep on him.
Someone in the dark room closed a small window, "Is this selected by Cangzhou?"
right! "This person is from Cangzhou, and he was in Yingzhou when the accident happened."
"Pay attention to this person."
"What's so special about this person?"
"The family has a lot of wealth, so it's not surprising that you can restrain your curiosity about the things inside...but this person..." There are always things that make people feel a little inconsistent, but I can't tell where the violation is?
"But who are we looking for?"
"No!" The man said firmly, "He... has some strange looks!"
Oh?
The man bowed his head and copied down the name and serial number of the boy from Cangzhou...
Xu is that people come here every day, and it will be very busy to arrange these people, so both Lin Yutong and Fourth Master are treated very strictly.
Lin Yutong didn't touch anything but the book, fourth master didn't even touch the bookshelf, he just looked at the workmanship of the bed, the carvings on it, the structure of the bookshelf, and even studied the mattress, the same, never touched the book.The purpose of the two is the same. Once the exam starts, the paper will be blank and kicked out to finish the calculation.
Scholars couldn't understand Si Ye: "Really don't take the exam? You have to know that all those who went out of the temple in the early years were officials and ministers."
But what happened?It's shut down, isn't it?Where did those officials and ministers go?
The fourth master turned his head back and said: "Too tired!"
The patch boy didn't listen to the two of them. He was hungry for books and knew that he lacked a lot. Anyway, no matter whether he understood it or not, he would memorize it first and then talk about it.
Maybe it's a rule, they must not disclose each other's names, and then they can live like this reluctantly.
The roommate turned on the lamp to read at night, and the fourth master fell asleep.The roommates were eating with books in their hands, and fourth master ate seriously, with great relish.The roommate was obsessed with books and couldn't extricate himself. Fourth Master squatted and looked at the bookshelf, squatting for an entire afternoon.The two of them didn't understand what fourth master was looking at.
Anyway, in such a short period of time, 20 days just passed by.
That night, everyone was told that the exam would start tomorrow, and at the first moment of tomorrow morning.
Chen time?Do you have the exam at seven o'clock in the morning?
At the very least, you have to get up at five o'clock, wash and dress, eat and hurry.Lin Yutong got up neither early nor late, at exactly five o'clock.Considering that there is a lot of space outside and where the exam will be taken, she discarded some cumbersome clothes and chose a Hu suit with narrow sleeves and a slim fit.This kind of small-sleeved gown and small-cut trousers is basically never worn outside. Lin Yutong put it on, and chose a pair of boots to try it on. It is very suitable for walking on mountain roads.It was windy in the mountains, so she tied her hair up and tied it tightly with a ribbon.Pick a light cape, and that's it.
In the morning, I ate something to satisfy my hunger, and I didn't dare to drink more water.If she is a bit naive, she can play it, but no matter how naive she is, she doesn't want to make a fool of herself.Before going out, he stuffed a few fruits on his body, and he was able to leave.
Nanny Fang was waiting at the gate, and Lin Yutong was the last one to come out.Several people looked at Lin Yutong and were a little stunned.Lin Yutong was also a little speechless when facing the three girls dressed like fairy concubines in front of her.What do you think, wearing such cumbersome clothes, can you not get offended on the road?
Mother Fang took a deep look at Lin Yutong, but she didn't think much about it, let alone think that Lin Yutong was smarter than others because of this.She thought it was Lin Yutong who sneaked out for a while, knowing how big it was outside and how hard it was to wear big clothes, so she changed the clothes cleverly.But she didn't say anything, and didn't give the others time to go back and change clothes, she just said: "Come with me!"
This follow is Erli Road, and then onto the main road.There are so many people on the road, they are all on their way.
Nanny Fang just said: "Just follow the people, and when the sun rises, you will be able to see the signs on the road." Then, she put her eyes on Lin Yutong, "No matter what idea you have, go to the exam first. The exam is over Those who are not admitted can go home immediately."
This is to tell Lin Yutong, don't be a monster, go to the exam obediently, and get out after the exam.
Lin Yutong felt happy and walked away.
As soon as he walked onto the avenue, people who could be blown by the mountain wind staggered.The cloak on his body was blown up by the wind, almost driving people away.
Hong Niang exclaimed, if not for Shao Yao's support, she would have been blown away.At this moment, they quickly wrapped their cloaks, buried their heads and leaned forward against the wind.
The small uphill road on this road is already enough.As a result, on the gentle slope, the road deflected and went down again.At this time, the wind is blowing from behind, and the person who blows it only rushes forward!After half an hour, Lin Yutong felt that there were not many people around, and one was far away from the other.She looked back, Shao Yao was following her, and from a distance she could see Hong Niang and Qiao Mo who had stopped for a few steps.
The wind blows, and the face is shrunk in the cloak, and the face of the person cannot be seen clearly.Lin Yutong couldn't care less, she just wanted to end this fucking exam, she walked quickly, passed one after another, and finally went down the gentle slope, and it was indeed a lot less windy.Only now did she have time to look around.Then I realized that there seemed to be no one walking in front of me!What's more, I didn't see a man along the way.That is to say, men's exams are not the same as women's.
There is only one road on this road, and there is no signboard.Going further, bypassing the boulder blocking the way, I found a thatched house building behind.Arriving here is like arriving at a paradise.
There are several ridges of land around, and the medicinal materials should be planted on it.Go along the path, and you will find the Caimen Courtyard with the fence.It happened to be here, and there was a sign with the words 'Kunbu Examination Room' written on it.
Lin Yutong opened the door and went in, facing the hall with the door open.There are straw futons and old small tables on the floor inside, and there are only forty seats, except for this.Anyway, there are eight lines in one line, a total of five lines.
Lin Yutong found a corner and was about to take a seat when a woman with a kind face came in, "Please take a seat in order."
Then Lin Yutong was led to take a seat at Number One.
After walking all the way, I was thirsty, but obviously, there was no water provided here.She took out the fruit from her pocket and ate her own.Quenching thirst and hunger, with this thing, it will be fine to spend a day here today.
She ate hers, and then people arrived one after another.The second person who came in was a woman who was much older than Lin Yutong. She was also plainly dressed and had no jewelry on her head, but she also looked very messy at this time.Half of her hair is pulled up and the other half is loose. Pulled hair means that she is a married woman, and loose hair means she is still a girl.Looking at the sober appearance on her body, Lin Yutong understood that she was a widowed woman.The man was sitting next to Lin Yutong, clutching his stomach and panting, apparently driven too hard.
Lin Yutong's eating speed slowed down, and he was gnashing his teeth when biting the fruit.Nanny Fang misled this trouble.The exam has already started from the moment of waking up, including the choice of clothes, including the strength of physical strength, all of which are included in the assessment.
For these two items, Lin Yutong estimated that he could get full marks.
How can they go through a lot of tossing so that they can't bear to kick themselves out?
Thinking about this, she didn't pay much attention to who else was coming behind.Until the whispers inside grew louder, until Shao Yao's shout sounded, "Hurry up, there's only one seat left."
Lin Yutong turned around and saw Shaoyao sitting in the middle, shouting at the people who had just entered the yard.
Three girls came in together, besides the matchmaker and Qiao Mo'er who supported each other, there was also a girl with her head bowed and limping.As soon as Shaoyao finished shouting, the three of them rushed inside, Lin Yutong watched helplessly as the matchmaker was slightly behind when she entered the threshold.But the girl saw that she couldn't win over her, so she pushed Qiao Mo'er onto the girl with injured legs and feet, stepped on the two of them and jumped in without hesitation, and sat firmly in the last seat.
Lin Yutong said in her heart, this is the opportunity!
Noisy!People who make trouble think that dogs don't want to see them!She slapped the little table, and then stood up, "Where are the people in the academy? Can't you see such malicious and hurtful people?"
The matchmaker stood up slowly, "Competing in the same field is to win. I only know that I won, and I must win." She stood up as she spoke, and faced Qiao Mo'er. , "You will still be Miss Wang Fu when you go back, and I will never recover when I go back. In order not to never recover, I can only feel sorry for you."
But how did she know Qiao Mo'er's difficulties.
Lin Yutong snorted softly, went over and pulled Qiao Mo'er in, and pressed her on her seat, "Cousin, sit down, I'll quit, and you make up your seat." Then, without giving Qiao Mo'er any time to react, she went directly to Running at the door, helped the injured leg and foot when passing by, and was about to leave.
As a result, two nuns came out on both sides, and the two nuns reached out to stop Lin Yutong, "You two girls, go in first. In the past, we often came together like this, although strictly speaking, the Kunmen inner sect exam At this level, there are only forty places. But for the sake of fairness, as long as they arrive together, there is no problem if there are a few more than the quota."
Lin Yutong: "..." You are quite humane.But his own trick didn't work.
The two were invited in, and Lin Yutong got back to his place.Qiao Mo'er was very grateful when she got up, and pulled Lin Yutong's hand hard.
have to!Earn a favor for nothing.
Seeing that someone outside moved the small table and futon to the end, Lin Yutong had to sit down.As soon as she sat down, she felt that someone was staring at her from behind. She turned her face to look over, and Hong Niang quickly looked away.
oh!This is another white offence.
One profit and one loss, what did I plan for?
During the exam, there was no one who appeared to be a character at first glance. It was still these two nuns. Standing in front, there were pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the small table. There were no questions.You can write or draw whatever you want.
Ask yourself to write?no!Except for the name, which can pass the test, the remaining handwriting is the handle, and it cannot be compared with the original owner, and the difference can be seen by comparison.
What about painting?No way!The sharpness of the pen can be distinguished at a glance by those who know how to do it.
How to do?
She held the pen, as if in thought, and then a drop of ink fell directly on the white paper.This is the only paper for drawing. If you want to draw fine brushwork, you can ask for paints and other things.But if the painting is broken, you will not be given a second piece of paper.
Lin Yutong stuck his chin on the small table, blowing the ink idea as if playing, the ink beads rolled around on the white paper, leaving messy ink marks, and signed Lin Yutong.
Completed!
After a while, she finished the exam.Can you tell me to go this time?
The mother put away her test papers with a smile, beckoned someone from the side door, passed the test papers over, and then made a gesture of invitation to Lin Yutong, "Follow me to see the supervisor."
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lin Yutong was taken out, and then went directly into the east wing.
There were two women sitting in the wing room, one was dressed plainly and had an older face, sitting on the front seat, and the other was not wrinkled, but had white hair and was wearing a black dress, sitting next to her.Lin Yutong didn't know who this was, and when he went in, he waited for someone to open his mouth to kick him out.
The white-haired woman took the paper, glanced down, and couldn't help laughing, then handed it to the old woman in the seat, "Show me."
The old woman only glanced at it, and then sighed, "I don't want to come to the temple to study!" She rolled up the messy thing, held it in her hand, and looked at Lin Yutong, "Can you tell me why you don't want to come to the temple?" Come to the temple to study?"
"I can't write or draw, but you chose me, so can you tell me why you have to choose me?" She didn't answer, but asked instead.
The old woman laughed all of a sudden, "But you know what clothes you should choose when you go out today..."
"This is cheating. I sneaked out before and know how big it is outside. This doesn't count."
"You have good physical strength and arrived earlier than everyone else."
"If you were not mysterious, there would be many people who arrived earlier than me. If you had told everyone what kind of road to take and how far the road was, then fools would know what clothes to choose. If you choose the right clothes, The makeup is not cumbersome, so you can walk quickly. But is it more meaningful than this? In these two items, how can a lady from a rich family compare with a girl from a poor background? Your exam is unfair!"
"But if they don't pay attention to makeup and appearance, how can they spend so much time on these? Those who can rush to the examination room are all reacting halfway. Now on the road, they still walk slowly, but they don't want to. People who lose their face. Therefore, this so-called injustice is not completely unfair." The old woman sighed, "What we want is someone who can throw away these unnecessary restraints."
Lin Yutong showed sarcasm, "Is that so? But I heard that your temple studies are designed to give women of low birth a chance to marry high-ranking dignitaries? You recruit them and teach them for this, how important makeup is. Don't lie to me, you really take me for a fool! Go and listen, who doesn't know the Cheng family who was born as a maidservant, married into the palace, and became a princess? This is a model for how many women in the world?! There are role models, don't use them words."
The white-haired woman's complexion changed instantly, "You are bold! Presumptuous!"
The old woman raised her hand and stopped the white-haired old woman from speaking, "Don't get angry, tell the little girl to finish speaking."
Lin Yutong stiffened his neck and snorted, "Just say it, what's the big deal! If you don't know the door, and you are in a difficult situation, you are naturally willing to come. Even if you don't pass the exam in the end, you may return home with some money. It can also ensure that there is no need to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime. Those who are selected in the end can even marry into a noble family and live a prosperous life. But what good does this do for me? If I want money, my family has no shortage..."
"Then you don't want to marry a nobleman?"
Lin Yutong giggled, "My mother came from a noble family, and then what?"
The old woman looked at the white-haired woman, and the white-haired woman leaned over and said something in a low voice. The old woman looked at Lin Yutong carefully, "Are you the daughter of that girl in Zhengyang?"
Zhengyang is the title of the county head.
Lin Yutong nodded and gave a proud 'hmm'.
The old woman pondered for a moment, looking through Lin Yutong as if she was looking at another person, before she said after a long time: "Is there anything else to say?"
Lin Yutong nodded solemnly, "Temple learning is nothing more than that! The Anyang County Lord did not become the King of Runan, and the Zhengyang County Lord did not become Yi Guogong, but the Anyang County Lord's maid became Ru Concubine Nan, what's so good about such temple studies?"
The white-haired woman endured it several times, but did not attack.
Lin Yutong knew that this was poking at the other party's sore spot.
The old woman waved her hand, "Go to the opposite wing and wait."
Whether to kick her out, but did not say.
Lin Yutong was taken to the opposite side, thinking about the identities of these two people.
Among the two, one must be the supervisor.If the picture scroll is handed directly to the white-haired woman, then this person is likely to be the school supervisor.
If so, who is the other old woman?
The old woman on the opposite side held the painting in her hand and didn't put it down, but her face was inevitably a little more sad.
"Your Majesty, this girl is a fool." The white-haired supervisor stood up, bowed and said, "It's inevitable that you've spoken outrageously."
The old woman called Empress waved her hand. "Yeah! He's an idiot! It seems that Zhengyang has been quite resentful towards me these years! Listen, he must have complained a lot at home. After being learned by this idiot girl, he really dared to speak out. The imperial court That’s what those elders said about temple studies back then. Now that all these years have passed, Zhengyang also said the same, and even a little silly girl dares to speak nonsense in temple studies!”
The school supervisor sighed, "Ma'am, I'm going to ask someone to send this little idiot back and tell Zhengyang to discipline him strictly."
"You don't want to be sloppy with me here, Zhengyang must be begging at your door for this child." The old woman snorted, "This is because she would rather beg your enemy than bow to me."
The supervisor stood there, with his head lowered, "Madam, after all these years, there is no resentment or hatred. We were just fighting over ideas back then, and we had no personal grudges. Now the temple school does not accept her." Daughter, there is no personal emotion involved here, but her family's daughter is really not suitable..."
"You want to sell her a favor." The old woman nodded to the supervisor, "You guys, one by one, it's hard to hear the truth from your mouths! I only care about children who are a little bit naive. She is a naive , is straight, but not stupid. This child... stay!"
The supervisor stood still, "Madam, Zhengyang is pregnant again. Our people brought this little idiot up the mountain before, and Zhengyang became angry. It was the letter from Jiajin. Otherwise, I am afraid that the palace will ask questions, and the Empress Dowager of the West Palace..."
"The queen mother is the queen mother, where to divide something, pay attention to your words!"
"Yes!" The supervisor looked terrified, "I'm afraid the Queen Mother is going to ask us for someone. Duke Yi is reluctant to let his granddaughter suffer..."
"Duke Yi... he is confused! Who would help him without some money? For this little idiot, he is really willing."
The supervisor whispered, "It's not worth arguing about this. What's more, in the end, you have to be willing to enter the school. You have to sign a letter of intent before you can enter. If this child is unwilling, what should we do? The palace wants People, the child himself is really unwilling, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to force him to stay. Why don't we give Zhengyang and Jiajin this face..."
Wordy!The old woman snorted softly, "It's simply that no one has handed in the paper yet, just bring the little fool again."
Thus, Lin Yutong was brought here like a fool.
The old woman's expression was as kind as a grandmother's, "Although you have a poor face, you are willing to tell the truth. This is a kind of honest advice, and it is not too much to take you as a 'loyalty'."
Lin Yutong felt that she had been punished, and she also felt this way when she was tempted in the past.You have to push a bad guy into the pile of good guys!At this moment, the old woman is just looking for advantages in a fool, so she must be stuffed into the pile of smart people.No!No need!You have to kick me out quickly.
I heard the old woman continue, "Temple school has many bad things, we have to admit it. But no matter how bad it is, there is no reason to force people to enroll. The selection is the holy will! It is the imperial decree! Every Beiyan person All have to participate in the election. After being selected, it depends on one's own wishes. Whether you want to be taught in the temple school, and then be used by the court and be loyal to the emperor, this is all voluntary..."
That would be great!Don't kidnap me morally, as if if I don't go to school, I will be disloyal to the court.
sorry!I'm a fool, so I don't understand what you're saying.
The old woman seemed not disappointed by her non-response, and continued to talk about her, asking about her personal affairs, "I saw your entry slip, it says, you seem to have a sister?"
Correct!
"Your father was a scholar?"
right!But what's wrong with that?
"You don't like nobles and dignitaries. I'm afraid your family never thought of asking your sister to enter the palace as a concubine..." The old woman laughed as she said, "You really have the capital not to want to study in the temple. Rushing to marry a high-ranking and dignitary, but a high-ranking and dignitary... as noble as the royal family, also wants to snatch the blood of Duke Yi's direct relatives to become a princess..."
Lin Yutong understood right away, and kept saying that she was voluntary, but go to her voluntary!This is clearly telling herself that she has the right to mess with the selection of concubines!
Sure enough, the other party continued: "Every one of our inner disciples who voluntarily enter the temple school can ask the temple school for one thing. As long as the matter does not violate the court's laws, the school will generally agree. Not only the school can Promise, once handed over, the emperor must also accept it. This was decided by Taizu and Tianmu when the temple school first opened."
This is similar to what Lin Yutong and Fourth Master used to do in the Royal Academy. If there is such a thing, it means that many people's injustices can be directly heard by the temple through temple studies.
Let's not think about these complicated things for now, just talk about it now, can Lin Yutong say no?
If the family could avoid choosing a concubine, they would not have taken the little sisters to Yingzhou.
She has become the sixth girl of the Lin family, and she has karma in her body.It's about her sister's life, what can she do?
Lin Yutong scolded her in her heart, but she still had to look at him with burning eyes, and asked eagerly, "Really?"
really!
I was grounded for three days, but in fact I just didn't leave the yard.The so-called get rid of the problem of not being picky eaters, ha ha!A box of jewelry was misfortune, and food for three days was exchanged.These three days have been relatively easy to eat, Huang Sanniu can be selected, which proves that she is as smart as anyone else.She even knew that she was not knowledgeable enough, and she never ordered dishes according to her own preferences.Instead, ask Qiao Mo'er what he ordered first, and what Shao Yao ordered. One of these two is from a family background, and the other has seen the world in the Duke's mansion.The order is ready, and it suits the appetite of Miss Lin Yutong, so I can exchange for more jewelry.
Anyway, it was Huang Sanniu who played herself out. In order to continue to maintain a heartless state, Lin Yutong really ate and ate, craved, and the meaty one still looked like a fleshy one.
After three days, the ban will be partially lifted.I can go out of the yard where I live, but at most I can take a walk in the yard I entered. Moreover, Nanny Fang and the servants are living in the yard ahead, want to go out?Don't even think about it.Just enter the courtyard three times, you can do whatever you want.If there is no specific task, you can do whatever you want.
But this randomness makes smart people think too much.It's like a matchmaker, who knows that she is from Yihonglou, and a girl from a decent family will not be with her.So I was very self-conscious and retreated back to read books and practice calligraphy. This will never be said to be frivolous and ignorant of duty.
Like Shaoyao, as I said before, her back is not straight.In fact, when she is not facing her master, her back is straight.Although Lin Yutong is not from the Duke's mansion, he is of the Duke's blood.As long as the Duke is still alive, the county lord and his young masters are more important than the young masters and ladies in the mansion.
Therefore, Lin Yutong was the only one who made her bend down unconsciously and feel humble.So, she deliberately avoided Lin Yutong's.At least for now it works.
Then, the only one who can talk to Lin Yutong is Qiao Mo'er.
But Lin Yutong didn't like Qiao Mo'er coming to accompany her, she had a lot of things to do, and she had a lot of secrets to hide, so, after Qiao Mo'er came to accompany her twice in a row, while talking, Lin Yutong just After secretly pressing her sleeping hole and falling asleep completely, Qiao Mo'er didn't say anything about it again.
Then Lin Yutong was free, looked at every corner of the three-entry courtyard, and found a small door in a very secret corner.This door is hidden behind the flowers and trees, and it is used by the handymen who come in to clean it.It's like the toilet every day, someone carries it out, but it is absolutely impossible to carry it through the gate carelessly. There must be a special place for them to go, and they found it after turning around.The place was not so tightly locked, and she almost estimated the time when these people came in and out, so she slipped out.
When it comes out, except for the general mountain scenery rendered by paint, the rest is basically invisible.No matter how you turn the angle to see the overall picture of the whole building, it doesn’t work.Then you need to know more: how many courtyards are there now, what kind of buildings are there besides such courtyards, and so on.
This angle is invisible.Then choose a place where you can see the whole picture.Looking up, you can see a few pillars indistinctly, as if inserted into the clouds, and you can't see the bottom when you go down, or the top when you go up.If it wasn't for being down-to-earth now, she really thought she had gone to heaven.Is the Nantian Gate in the sky also like this, with such a giant pillar?
So, she walked along the trails that these handymen often walked, and occasionally she could see some roads paved with bluestone slabs. She didn't know where these bluestone slabs led. Yes, she went through it, and ended up on the main road.The ground is made of bluestone, and it is spotlessly clean.The road is so wide that it feels like ten carriages can run in parallel.And the pavement is not paved, it is more like shoveled.Looking back from here, the cornices of buildings can be seen in the mist.However, the terrain is high and low, and how many buildings there are are still invisible.She continued to walk in the direction of the pillar, but who knew that at the end of the road was a big rock, which was like a hill, blocking the way and also blocking the view to the outside.She had no choice but to go around this boulder, but as soon as she came out, she couldn't run anymore, and the steward Tsing Yi was standing here.When she saw the steward, she saw the chaotic crowd waiting outside.
All of these people were excited, and some even knelt down, clinging to the ground tightly in a worshiping posture.
The steward in Tsing Yi folded his hands and looked at Lin Yutong leisurely.Lin Yutong stood beside him, watching the commotion outside solemnly.
He didn't make a sound, and Lin Yutong ignored him.The two were in a stalemate like this, Lin Yutong looked out, and he stared at Lin Yutong to size up.
Lin Yutong didn't expect to meet fourth master, but in the current situation, isn't it embarrassing?She could only watch calmly, and then tried to discuss with the steward, "You said how did these people come to the capital, and each of them looked like they were fished out of a pickle jar..."
The steward hummed.
Lin Yutong pretended not to understand, and continued to look for topics, "These people are just as unlucky as I am, and I don't know why you are attracted to us, and you were brought in like this. They are very happy now, but they don't know what crimes are waiting for them. Well. I haven’t entered the door now, I’m afraid there’s still time to run, don’t act like me, you probably won’t let me go out if you want to.”
The manager squinted at her, "It's hard for you to know this."
I know this.That's all Lin Yutong could tell others.
"Knowing that you still ran out?" He said, "Which hall did you come from? What are you going to do?"
"Didn't I say, I want to go out, I want to go home, I don't want to stay here anymore, so I still ask?" Lin Yutong's tone was more impatient than him, "Ask which hall I came from? This is your place, I Locked up by you, how do I know where it is? No one told me!"
"Then let me ask you, how did you get out?"
"He came out! Or what?"
"Where did you come from?"
"Come out of the door!"
Hey!It doesn't make sense, does it?Are you deliberately playing sloppy?
The steward was almost annoyed, "Then tell me, what's your name? The surname of the chaperone?" After asking, he thought the girl had to fight, but he saw the girl staring at a certain place outside the door. Looking at the past with this gaze, there are people wandering around in a mess, how do you know which one she is looking at?
Lin Yutong saw fourth master, and he was sure that fourth master also saw her.She almost instinctively wanted to run over, because the fourth master was so miserable, it would not be too much to say that he came out of a pickle jar.The clothes on his body are wrinkled, and he probably smells like pickled vegetables when he smells them.
Of course, this one in my family has a pickle flavor, and it must be an old pickle from a top pickle workshop!
She stepped out with one foot, but fourth master quickly shook his head, it was not a good idea to come out, and it was even less a good idea to come here.
That's right!Since everyone is here, you can always see them.Maybe it's more convenient than meeting in other places.With a decision in my heart, who cares what is in charge.Turning her face to see that he was also looking into the crowd at this moment, she took two steps back quietly, and then ran away, turning around the boulder, and ran directly into the nearby woods, regardless of whether there was a path through it, Hide it first.
The steward felt that it was a blink of an eye, and then no one was seen.If you want to chase, order is still waiting at the door, and then they will be dispatched to enter the door.He doesn't have time to take care of that girl right now, as long as he doesn't go out of the gate, it's fine.want to run?It must be impossible to run away, how capable is the little girl?This temple study is not something you can come and go whenever you want.It looks unobstructed, but I don't know how many people are hiding in the dark.
Lin Yutong really didn't know that someone was following her at the time. After she was able to run around in the woods, she knew that she was followed.Originally, I thought I could take advantage of today's chaos and get acquainted with the temple studies, but now it's obviously not possible.She pretended not to know the way, but as a result, at any fork in the road, it seemed that there was some noise in the place she was passing through, making her unable to go.She can only be 'forced' to go the right way, and then go all the way to the small door that came out.
The door was locked, Lin Yutong didn't hesitate, walked around the door confidently, and then knocked on the door by himself, and when the people inside opened the door and saw Lin Yutong, it was like seeing a ghost.
She ignored no one and was about to go back to her room when she entered, but was blocked by Nanny Fang leading her.Nanny Fang got the news a long time ago, so she just waited at the back door, waiting for her to knock on the door, but it turned out that she was a good person, and came in through the big gate grandly. "I said, don't leave the yard!" Mother Fang looked at Lin Yutong, "This is the second time you have committed a crime."
"I didn't want to go out of the yard, but you didn't tell me that the door leads to the outside." Lin Yutong pointed over there, "I just turned around in the yard, and then I saw a door, the door was open, I I went out. There were flowers and trees outside the door. I thought it was the garden in the yard, so I turned around and couldn’t find the way back, so I realized that I came out. Didn’t I find it again? Why are you so Fierce? This is simply because Mammy didn’t speak clearly, so how can you blame me? If you want to punish me for this, I won’t accept it! Such temple learning is just a name for nothing.” She said, staring at these people, "What's so fierce, you caused me to be outside alone, what if I meet bad people? Can you afford it?"
Mother Fang's face turned blue, but she didn't get angry with Lin Yutong anymore, and she didn't mention the punishment. She just said to the woman who followed, "In the future, you will watch the handymen when they come in and out, and guard the door. You won't be allowed to take a step Leave." After speaking, he turned to Lin Yutong, although his tone of voice was stiff, but he also wanted to express his gentleness, "Go and rest, it's getting late, it's time for dinner. Read more, the people selected from all over the country have arrived one after another, and the exam is not far away, so don't waste time anymore."
Okay!
Whatever you say will do.
The fourth master has already arrived, and he is in one place after all, so he feels more at ease and more at ease.After running for a long time today, I just feel that my physical strength really can't keep up.I want to practice, but I am afraid of being discovered.Only in the bath, here is a place where you can relax for a while every day, and you can also try to practice in the water, nothing else, just keep up with your physical fitness.
As for the exam, I told him to read a book.I didn't plan to pass the exam, so I read some books.
After fourth master came in, the situation was slightly different from Lin Yutong's.Maybe it's the difference between men and women!Two or three people are assigned to a room.Except for the bed, most things in the house are shared.There are not many clothes, one black and one white, and they are hung in their respective bed cabinets, and then there are their own toiletries, one for each person, and they are placed at the entrance of the bathroom.
Fourth master, the scholar, and the patch boy were grouped together. They got to know each other on the road and had a foundation of trust.
The other two were surprised when they came in, the patch boy was surprised by everything he saw, and the scholar was facing the bookshelf wishing he could carry it on his back.Before the two of them could react, Fourth Master went to the bathroom first, took a shower and changed his clothes. His hair was loose and hadn't been combed yet. Someone came to collect the dirty clothes, and waited for the other two to come out. The clothes have been washed, dried and ironed.
Fourth Master ate, and his hair was almost dry, so he found a bed and put down the curtains to sleep on him.
Someone in the dark room closed a small window, "Is this selected by Cangzhou?"
right! "This person is from Cangzhou, and he was in Yingzhou when the accident happened."
"Pay attention to this person."
"What's so special about this person?"
"The family has a lot of wealth, so it's not surprising that you can restrain your curiosity about the things inside...but this person..." There are always things that make people feel a little inconsistent, but I can't tell where the violation is?
"But who are we looking for?"
"No!" The man said firmly, "He... has some strange looks!"
Oh?
The man bowed his head and copied down the name and serial number of the boy from Cangzhou...
Xu is that people come here every day, and it will be very busy to arrange these people, so both Lin Yutong and Fourth Master are treated very strictly.
Lin Yutong didn't touch anything but the book, fourth master didn't even touch the bookshelf, he just looked at the workmanship of the bed, the carvings on it, the structure of the bookshelf, and even studied the mattress, the same, never touched the book.The purpose of the two is the same. Once the exam starts, the paper will be blank and kicked out to finish the calculation.
Scholars couldn't understand Si Ye: "Really don't take the exam? You have to know that all those who went out of the temple in the early years were officials and ministers."
But what happened?It's shut down, isn't it?Where did those officials and ministers go?
The fourth master turned his head back and said: "Too tired!"
The patch boy didn't listen to the two of them. He was hungry for books and knew that he lacked a lot. Anyway, no matter whether he understood it or not, he would memorize it first and then talk about it.
Maybe it's a rule, they must not disclose each other's names, and then they can live like this reluctantly.
The roommate turned on the lamp to read at night, and the fourth master fell asleep.The roommates were eating with books in their hands, and fourth master ate seriously, with great relish.The roommate was obsessed with books and couldn't extricate himself. Fourth Master squatted and looked at the bookshelf, squatting for an entire afternoon.The two of them didn't understand what fourth master was looking at.
Anyway, in such a short period of time, 20 days just passed by.
That night, everyone was told that the exam would start tomorrow, and at the first moment of tomorrow morning.
Chen time?Do you have the exam at seven o'clock in the morning?
At the very least, you have to get up at five o'clock, wash and dress, eat and hurry.Lin Yutong got up neither early nor late, at exactly five o'clock.Considering that there is a lot of space outside and where the exam will be taken, she discarded some cumbersome clothes and chose a Hu suit with narrow sleeves and a slim fit.This kind of small-sleeved gown and small-cut trousers is basically never worn outside. Lin Yutong put it on, and chose a pair of boots to try it on. It is very suitable for walking on mountain roads.It was windy in the mountains, so she tied her hair up and tied it tightly with a ribbon.Pick a light cape, and that's it.
In the morning, I ate something to satisfy my hunger, and I didn't dare to drink more water.If she is a bit naive, she can play it, but no matter how naive she is, she doesn't want to make a fool of herself.Before going out, he stuffed a few fruits on his body, and he was able to leave.
Nanny Fang was waiting at the gate, and Lin Yutong was the last one to come out.Several people looked at Lin Yutong and were a little stunned.Lin Yutong was also a little speechless when facing the three girls dressed like fairy concubines in front of her.What do you think, wearing such cumbersome clothes, can you not get offended on the road?
Mother Fang took a deep look at Lin Yutong, but she didn't think much about it, let alone think that Lin Yutong was smarter than others because of this.She thought it was Lin Yutong who sneaked out for a while, knowing how big it was outside and how hard it was to wear big clothes, so she changed the clothes cleverly.But she didn't say anything, and didn't give the others time to go back and change clothes, she just said: "Come with me!"
This follow is Erli Road, and then onto the main road.There are so many people on the road, they are all on their way.
Nanny Fang just said: "Just follow the people, and when the sun rises, you will be able to see the signs on the road." Then, she put her eyes on Lin Yutong, "No matter what idea you have, go to the exam first. The exam is over Those who are not admitted can go home immediately."
This is to tell Lin Yutong, don't be a monster, go to the exam obediently, and get out after the exam.
Lin Yutong felt happy and walked away.
As soon as he walked onto the avenue, people who could be blown by the mountain wind staggered.The cloak on his body was blown up by the wind, almost driving people away.
Hong Niang exclaimed, if not for Shao Yao's support, she would have been blown away.At this moment, they quickly wrapped their cloaks, buried their heads and leaned forward against the wind.
The small uphill road on this road is already enough.As a result, on the gentle slope, the road deflected and went down again.At this time, the wind is blowing from behind, and the person who blows it only rushes forward!After half an hour, Lin Yutong felt that there were not many people around, and one was far away from the other.She looked back, Shao Yao was following her, and from a distance she could see Hong Niang and Qiao Mo who had stopped for a few steps.
The wind blows, and the face is shrunk in the cloak, and the face of the person cannot be seen clearly.Lin Yutong couldn't care less, she just wanted to end this fucking exam, she walked quickly, passed one after another, and finally went down the gentle slope, and it was indeed a lot less windy.Only now did she have time to look around.Then I realized that there seemed to be no one walking in front of me!What's more, I didn't see a man along the way.That is to say, men's exams are not the same as women's.
There is only one road on this road, and there is no signboard.Going further, bypassing the boulder blocking the way, I found a thatched house building behind.Arriving here is like arriving at a paradise.
There are several ridges of land around, and the medicinal materials should be planted on it.Go along the path, and you will find the Caimen Courtyard with the fence.It happened to be here, and there was a sign with the words 'Kunbu Examination Room' written on it.
Lin Yutong opened the door and went in, facing the hall with the door open.There are straw futons and old small tables on the floor inside, and there are only forty seats, except for this.Anyway, there are eight lines in one line, a total of five lines.
Lin Yutong found a corner and was about to take a seat when a woman with a kind face came in, "Please take a seat in order."
Then Lin Yutong was led to take a seat at Number One.
After walking all the way, I was thirsty, but obviously, there was no water provided here.She took out the fruit from her pocket and ate her own.Quenching thirst and hunger, with this thing, it will be fine to spend a day here today.
She ate hers, and then people arrived one after another.The second person who came in was a woman who was much older than Lin Yutong. She was also plainly dressed and had no jewelry on her head, but she also looked very messy at this time.Half of her hair is pulled up and the other half is loose. Pulled hair means that she is a married woman, and loose hair means she is still a girl.Looking at the sober appearance on her body, Lin Yutong understood that she was a widowed woman.The man was sitting next to Lin Yutong, clutching his stomach and panting, apparently driven too hard.
Lin Yutong's eating speed slowed down, and he was gnashing his teeth when biting the fruit.Nanny Fang misled this trouble.The exam has already started from the moment of waking up, including the choice of clothes, including the strength of physical strength, all of which are included in the assessment.
For these two items, Lin Yutong estimated that he could get full marks.
How can they go through a lot of tossing so that they can't bear to kick themselves out?
Thinking about this, she didn't pay much attention to who else was coming behind.Until the whispers inside grew louder, until Shao Yao's shout sounded, "Hurry up, there's only one seat left."
Lin Yutong turned around and saw Shaoyao sitting in the middle, shouting at the people who had just entered the yard.
Three girls came in together, besides the matchmaker and Qiao Mo'er who supported each other, there was also a girl with her head bowed and limping.As soon as Shaoyao finished shouting, the three of them rushed inside, Lin Yutong watched helplessly as the matchmaker was slightly behind when she entered the threshold.But the girl saw that she couldn't win over her, so she pushed Qiao Mo'er onto the girl with injured legs and feet, stepped on the two of them and jumped in without hesitation, and sat firmly in the last seat.
Lin Yutong said in her heart, this is the opportunity!
Noisy!People who make trouble think that dogs don't want to see them!She slapped the little table, and then stood up, "Where are the people in the academy? Can't you see such malicious and hurtful people?"
The matchmaker stood up slowly, "Competing in the same field is to win. I only know that I won, and I must win." She stood up as she spoke, and faced Qiao Mo'er. , "You will still be Miss Wang Fu when you go back, and I will never recover when I go back. In order not to never recover, I can only feel sorry for you."
But how did she know Qiao Mo'er's difficulties.
Lin Yutong snorted softly, went over and pulled Qiao Mo'er in, and pressed her on her seat, "Cousin, sit down, I'll quit, and you make up your seat." Then, without giving Qiao Mo'er any time to react, she went directly to Running at the door, helped the injured leg and foot when passing by, and was about to leave.
As a result, two nuns came out on both sides, and the two nuns reached out to stop Lin Yutong, "You two girls, go in first. In the past, we often came together like this, although strictly speaking, the Kunmen inner sect exam At this level, there are only forty places. But for the sake of fairness, as long as they arrive together, there is no problem if there are a few more than the quota."
Lin Yutong: "..." You are quite humane.But his own trick didn't work.
The two were invited in, and Lin Yutong got back to his place.Qiao Mo'er was very grateful when she got up, and pulled Lin Yutong's hand hard.
have to!Earn a favor for nothing.
Seeing that someone outside moved the small table and futon to the end, Lin Yutong had to sit down.As soon as she sat down, she felt that someone was staring at her from behind. She turned her face to look over, and Hong Niang quickly looked away.
oh!This is another white offence.
One profit and one loss, what did I plan for?
During the exam, there was no one who appeared to be a character at first glance. It was still these two nuns. Standing in front, there were pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the small table. There were no questions.You can write or draw whatever you want.
Ask yourself to write?no!Except for the name, which can pass the test, the remaining handwriting is the handle, and it cannot be compared with the original owner, and the difference can be seen by comparison.
What about painting?No way!The sharpness of the pen can be distinguished at a glance by those who know how to do it.
How to do?
She held the pen, as if in thought, and then a drop of ink fell directly on the white paper.This is the only paper for drawing. If you want to draw fine brushwork, you can ask for paints and other things.But if the painting is broken, you will not be given a second piece of paper.
Lin Yutong stuck his chin on the small table, blowing the ink idea as if playing, the ink beads rolled around on the white paper, leaving messy ink marks, and signed Lin Yutong.
Completed!
After a while, she finished the exam.Can you tell me to go this time?
The mother put away her test papers with a smile, beckoned someone from the side door, passed the test papers over, and then made a gesture of invitation to Lin Yutong, "Follow me to see the supervisor."
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lin Yutong was taken out, and then went directly into the east wing.
There were two women sitting in the wing room, one was dressed plainly and had an older face, sitting on the front seat, and the other was not wrinkled, but had white hair and was wearing a black dress, sitting next to her.Lin Yutong didn't know who this was, and when he went in, he waited for someone to open his mouth to kick him out.
The white-haired woman took the paper, glanced down, and couldn't help laughing, then handed it to the old woman in the seat, "Show me."
The old woman only glanced at it, and then sighed, "I don't want to come to the temple to study!" She rolled up the messy thing, held it in her hand, and looked at Lin Yutong, "Can you tell me why you don't want to come to the temple?" Come to the temple to study?"
"I can't write or draw, but you chose me, so can you tell me why you have to choose me?" She didn't answer, but asked instead.
The old woman laughed all of a sudden, "But you know what clothes you should choose when you go out today..."
"This is cheating. I sneaked out before and know how big it is outside. This doesn't count."
"You have good physical strength and arrived earlier than everyone else."
"If you were not mysterious, there would be many people who arrived earlier than me. If you had told everyone what kind of road to take and how far the road was, then fools would know what clothes to choose. If you choose the right clothes, The makeup is not cumbersome, so you can walk quickly. But is it more meaningful than this? In these two items, how can a lady from a rich family compare with a girl from a poor background? Your exam is unfair!"
"But if they don't pay attention to makeup and appearance, how can they spend so much time on these? Those who can rush to the examination room are all reacting halfway. Now on the road, they still walk slowly, but they don't want to. People who lose their face. Therefore, this so-called injustice is not completely unfair." The old woman sighed, "What we want is someone who can throw away these unnecessary restraints."
Lin Yutong showed sarcasm, "Is that so? But I heard that your temple studies are designed to give women of low birth a chance to marry high-ranking dignitaries? You recruit them and teach them for this, how important makeup is. Don't lie to me, you really take me for a fool! Go and listen, who doesn't know the Cheng family who was born as a maidservant, married into the palace, and became a princess? This is a model for how many women in the world?! There are role models, don't use them words."
The white-haired woman's complexion changed instantly, "You are bold! Presumptuous!"
The old woman raised her hand and stopped the white-haired old woman from speaking, "Don't get angry, tell the little girl to finish speaking."
Lin Yutong stiffened his neck and snorted, "Just say it, what's the big deal! If you don't know the door, and you are in a difficult situation, you are naturally willing to come. Even if you don't pass the exam in the end, you may return home with some money. It can also ensure that there is no need to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime. Those who are selected in the end can even marry into a noble family and live a prosperous life. But what good does this do for me? If I want money, my family has no shortage..."
"Then you don't want to marry a nobleman?"
Lin Yutong giggled, "My mother came from a noble family, and then what?"
The old woman looked at the white-haired woman, and the white-haired woman leaned over and said something in a low voice. The old woman looked at Lin Yutong carefully, "Are you the daughter of that girl in Zhengyang?"
Zhengyang is the title of the county head.
Lin Yutong nodded and gave a proud 'hmm'.
The old woman pondered for a moment, looking through Lin Yutong as if she was looking at another person, before she said after a long time: "Is there anything else to say?"
Lin Yutong nodded solemnly, "Temple learning is nothing more than that! The Anyang County Lord did not become the King of Runan, and the Zhengyang County Lord did not become Yi Guogong, but the Anyang County Lord's maid became Ru Concubine Nan, what's so good about such temple studies?"
The white-haired woman endured it several times, but did not attack.
Lin Yutong knew that this was poking at the other party's sore spot.
The old woman waved her hand, "Go to the opposite wing and wait."
Whether to kick her out, but did not say.
Lin Yutong was taken to the opposite side, thinking about the identities of these two people.
Among the two, one must be the supervisor.If the picture scroll is handed directly to the white-haired woman, then this person is likely to be the school supervisor.
If so, who is the other old woman?
The old woman on the opposite side held the painting in her hand and didn't put it down, but her face was inevitably a little more sad.
"Your Majesty, this girl is a fool." The white-haired supervisor stood up, bowed and said, "It's inevitable that you've spoken outrageously."
The old woman called Empress waved her hand. "Yeah! He's an idiot! It seems that Zhengyang has been quite resentful towards me these years! Listen, he must have complained a lot at home. After being learned by this idiot girl, he really dared to speak out. The imperial court That’s what those elders said about temple studies back then. Now that all these years have passed, Zhengyang also said the same, and even a little silly girl dares to speak nonsense in temple studies!”
The school supervisor sighed, "Ma'am, I'm going to ask someone to send this little idiot back and tell Zhengyang to discipline him strictly."
"You don't want to be sloppy with me here, Zhengyang must be begging at your door for this child." The old woman snorted, "This is because she would rather beg your enemy than bow to me."
The supervisor stood there, with his head lowered, "Madam, after all these years, there is no resentment or hatred. We were just fighting over ideas back then, and we had no personal grudges. Now the temple school does not accept her." Daughter, there is no personal emotion involved here, but her family's daughter is really not suitable..."
"You want to sell her a favor." The old woman nodded to the supervisor, "You guys, one by one, it's hard to hear the truth from your mouths! I only care about children who are a little bit naive. She is a naive , is straight, but not stupid. This child... stay!"
The supervisor stood still, "Madam, Zhengyang is pregnant again. Our people brought this little idiot up the mountain before, and Zhengyang became angry. It was the letter from Jiajin. Otherwise, I am afraid that the palace will ask questions, and the Empress Dowager of the West Palace..."
"The queen mother is the queen mother, where to divide something, pay attention to your words!"
"Yes!" The supervisor looked terrified, "I'm afraid the Queen Mother is going to ask us for someone. Duke Yi is reluctant to let his granddaughter suffer..."
"Duke Yi... he is confused! Who would help him without some money? For this little idiot, he is really willing."
The supervisor whispered, "It's not worth arguing about this. What's more, in the end, you have to be willing to enter the school. You have to sign a letter of intent before you can enter. If this child is unwilling, what should we do? The palace wants People, the child himself is really unwilling, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to force him to stay. Why don't we give Zhengyang and Jiajin this face..."
Wordy!The old woman snorted softly, "It's simply that no one has handed in the paper yet, just bring the little fool again."
Thus, Lin Yutong was brought here like a fool.
The old woman's expression was as kind as a grandmother's, "Although you have a poor face, you are willing to tell the truth. This is a kind of honest advice, and it is not too much to take you as a 'loyalty'."
Lin Yutong felt that she had been punished, and she also felt this way when she was tempted in the past.You have to push a bad guy into the pile of good guys!At this moment, the old woman is just looking for advantages in a fool, so she must be stuffed into the pile of smart people.No!No need!You have to kick me out quickly.
I heard the old woman continue, "Temple school has many bad things, we have to admit it. But no matter how bad it is, there is no reason to force people to enroll. The selection is the holy will! It is the imperial decree! Every Beiyan person All have to participate in the election. After being selected, it depends on one's own wishes. Whether you want to be taught in the temple school, and then be used by the court and be loyal to the emperor, this is all voluntary..."
That would be great!Don't kidnap me morally, as if if I don't go to school, I will be disloyal to the court.
sorry!I'm a fool, so I don't understand what you're saying.
The old woman seemed not disappointed by her non-response, and continued to talk about her, asking about her personal affairs, "I saw your entry slip, it says, you seem to have a sister?"
Correct!
"Your father was a scholar?"
right!But what's wrong with that?
"You don't like nobles and dignitaries. I'm afraid your family never thought of asking your sister to enter the palace as a concubine..." The old woman laughed as she said, "You really have the capital not to want to study in the temple. Rushing to marry a high-ranking and dignitary, but a high-ranking and dignitary... as noble as the royal family, also wants to snatch the blood of Duke Yi's direct relatives to become a princess..."
Lin Yutong understood right away, and kept saying that she was voluntary, but go to her voluntary!This is clearly telling herself that she has the right to mess with the selection of concubines!
Sure enough, the other party continued: "Every one of our inner disciples who voluntarily enter the temple school can ask the temple school for one thing. As long as the matter does not violate the court's laws, the school will generally agree. Not only the school can Promise, once handed over, the emperor must also accept it. This was decided by Taizu and Tianmu when the temple school first opened."
This is similar to what Lin Yutong and Fourth Master used to do in the Royal Academy. If there is such a thing, it means that many people's injustices can be directly heard by the temple through temple studies.
Let's not think about these complicated things for now, just talk about it now, can Lin Yutong say no?
If the family could avoid choosing a concubine, they would not have taken the little sisters to Yingzhou.
She has become the sixth girl of the Lin family, and she has karma in her body.It's about her sister's life, what can she do?
Lin Yutong scolded her in her heart, but she still had to look at him with burning eyes, and asked eagerly, "Really?"
really!
