Great Blue Night Watchman

"If you two brothers are interested, I'll do it for you!" A scholar stood up, held a piece of gold paper in his hands, and wrote the contract:

Appointment:

Both parties A and B set up a bet, based on the scientific examination results. The one with the higher ranking wins, and the one with the lower ranking loses. The loser needs to run three times around Haining City in L body and shout "I am a waste" ten times. In addition, the winner has the right to Ask the loser a question, and the loser must answer it truthfully and in detail. Both parties will abide by this agreement. If they fail to comply, their cultural roots will be cut off, and both heaven and man will abandon it.

With the appointment in hand, Zhang Haoyue signed it first.

Passed it to Lin Su.

Lin Su took the paper and hesitated slightly: "Write with precious paper and precious pen?"

"When a scholar makes an appointment, he promises a thousand pieces of gold, and there is no need for precious paper or pen. But since Brother Lin wants to interpret a good story, how can he not need precious paper and pen?"

Zhang Haoyue answered lightly.

Lin Su picked up the pen, still a little hesitant. Everyone's heart beat faster, waiting for him to write...

"Haha, don't you dare to sign? It doesn't matter if you don't dare to sign. I'll slap myself on the mouth ten times to show that my words just now were like farts, so let's get over it!"

Lin Su was furious: "Sign it, just sign it!"

Pick up the pen and write down your name, Lin Su!

"Since it's a good story, I'll help you out, and I'll make a bet with you too!" The person who just wrote the appointment also picked up his pen and signed his name: Zhao Ji. His name is also signed by Party A.

"Are you still interested in one against two?" Lin Su was stunned.

"Of course, we didn't say that Party A only has one person!"

The third person stood up...

"Wait!" Lin Su raised her hand to stop: "What if I win against one person and lose to another?"

"The contract is clearly written. If you lose to Brother Zhang, you will act according to Brother Zhang's arrangements. If you win against Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao will act according to your arrangements!"

Lin Su pondered for a long time and nodded: "That's fair. Okay, just sign whoever is willing to sign. Having said that, there are many people signing, so I'm safer. Those who win make me feel uncomfortable, and I feel guilty for those who lose." Get it back twice as much!”

In an instant, twenty-three students signed their names to Party A, representing Lin Su's bet against twenty-three people.

After all the contracts were signed, in duplicate, Zhang Haoyue signed the contract on behalf of the twenty-three people. Lin Su picked up the contract and slowly turned his eyes to Lei Dongyang: "Professor, is it really okay to gamble before the exam?"

Lei Dongyang seemed very happy at this moment: "How could it be? Didn't you just say it? It's a good story in the literary world!"

Lin Su nodded: "Professor Lei, do you want to sign too?"

Lei Dongyang turned his back: "Nonsense, you are betting on the scientific examination, and I will not take the provincial examination!"

Lin Su said: "We can bet on another thing."

"What bet?"

"Bet on my results in October this year's general examination. Who is better, my results or your results that year?"

Lei Dongyang's eyes slowly narrowed: "What if you can't take part in the exam this autumn?"

"Of course I lose!"

"bet?"

"Just like them!"

Lei Dongyang's face changed: "Okay, let's bet!"

An alternative contract is formed, and Lin Su and Lei Dongyang make a new bet.

No one outside the red rope knew anything about their troubles, but one person in the circle sent a message to the distance.

When Ding Hai received this message, he jumped eight feet high!

"Stupid! Idiot! So ignorant!..."

He was striding back and forth on the roof, in an extremely crazy state.

A beautiful woman fell in front of him: "Master, what happened?"

Ding Hai let out a long breath: "I can't keep the secret recipe of Baiyunbian Wine!"

"Why?" The beauty was shocked.

Ding Hai told what happened on the dock just now. Lin Su had a bet with 23 students, and the loser was L Ben... Let’s not mention L Ben’s matter. It was Lin Su’s reputation that was lost and his future was ruined. It doesn't matter that his surname is Ding, he doesn't care at all. The problem is that there is a second article in the contract. The winner has the right to ask the loser a question, and the loser must answer it truthfully and in detail!

Lin Su, the bastard, might have thought that those students were asking about some private matters that would ruin his reputation, but Ding Hai knew that what these students were asking about must be the secret recipe for wine!

Otherwise, why would 23 students bet against him at the same time?

No one would reveal the secret recipe of wine if they knew it. If Zhang Haoyue knew it, there would be absolutely no way he would tell it to other fellow travelers in the literary world. Therefore, these people took matters into their own hands because they also wanted the secret recipe.

Among these 23 people, including the ninth son of the largest force in Quzhou, "Haitianzhou", he is Zhao Ji! Recently, Haitian Prefecture sent three groups of forces to approach the Lin Mansion, but they were all killed by An Ye. They were determined to get the secret recipe of wine.

Throughout the process, Zhao Ji actively promoted it, which is proof in itself.

What's even more terrible is that Zhao Jiwen is extremely talented, and he is the person who has the highest voice in this provincial examination.

No matter whether others win or not, Zhao Ji will definitely win!

On the distant river, a golden bell suddenly sounded. As soon as the bell rang, the morning fog all over the river suddenly dissipated, and a golden light came from the river, paving a golden avenue.

On the Golden Avenue, a strange ship came through the waves. The ship had a strange shape, just like an open book, and the paddles were like pages, flying up and down...

"On the road of scientific research, the main road of the world, book boats are everywhere. Evil worshippers are not close, idle people avoid it!" A clear voice pierced through the clouds and fog on the book boat, and the whole city of Haining heard about it.

Countless people stopped to watch, solemnly and solemnly.

"The test subjects board the boat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the book boat suddenly shook, and countless pages separated from the book boat, extending to the feet of the students on the pier, carrying the students flying up into the air, and landing on the book boat.

Lin Su turned his head and saw the page at his feet. There were three big characters on the page, which was very important.

The words under the feet of a student next to him are: Ming Ke Ming.

A student in front had at his feet: Dao Kedao.

"The Tao Te Ching is a boat!" Lin Su sighed.

A man in white on the left smiled slightly: "Morality is the boat, and the saints are the guide. Even though Shushan is difficult and dangerous, we are still moving forward. Junior brother, today is the first battle on the mountain, and I hope to go all out!"

Lin Su was slightly startled: "Brother, it's..."

"I am Qiu Mochi, I study under Mr. Baoshan, and today I am accepting the envoy for the scientific examination."

"Baoshan...how is Mr. Baoshan doing?"

"Sir, he has achieved the ultimate level of Wenxin. He is still in the consolidation stage and cannot leave the country for the time being. Before leaving, he asked me to take good care of my junior brother. However, sir, I never thought that my junior brother would actually take part in this provincial examination."

"Not only Mr. Baoshan didn't expect it? My brother didn't expect it either. He originally wanted me to take the scientific examination in three years. I just came here to join in the fun and feel the atmosphere of the scientific examination in advance."

"Junior brother is right to think so. The scientific examinations are held every three years. Junior brother is still young and has little regard for gains and losses. Improving oneself is the most important thing..."

This exchange between the two shocked the other students around them, but it also reassured them.

What is shocking is that Mr. Baoshan, a famous celebrity all over the world, is actually this boy's teacher?

Will there be any changes?

But the kid himself said that he came here just to join in the fun and feel the atmosphere of the scientific examination...

Haha, join in the fun!

Boy, do you know? You made a lot of fun, but after this fun, your literary career is gone, and your secret recipe is gone...

Lin Su could see the excitement of the people around him, and he was very excited inside.

A bunch of chickens!

You want to play with me even before your hair is fully grown?

Let’s see who plays who?

At the second ring of the golden bell, the book boat approached Qiankun Academy and the tester left the boat.

Lin Su waved slightly to Qiu Mochi: "Brother Qiu, go to Lin's house for a drink when you have time!"

The pages of the book carried him flying upwards, Qiu Mochi's eyes were filled with excitement. It was because of drinking his wine that the master broke through the ten-year shackles and entered the ultimate realm of literary mind. His wine has become the common expectation of all the brothers and sisters. …

Someone next to Lin Su laughed.

Going to your house for a drink?

By that time, your place beside the white clouds will be sold all over the city. Where can you not drink it? Still have to go to your house?

Qiankun Academy is backed by undulating mountains and faces the Yangtze River. The academy is named after Qiankun, so it has a lot of atmosphere. Lin Su stepped into the square in front of the academy and saw today's examination venue.

Although the rural examination is the second level of the four-level examination (childhood examination, rural examination, general examination, palace examination), it is generally a low-end examination at the lower end. However, in fact, the rural examination is extremely important, and Jianzhen can be regarded as the most important among the four-level examinations. Important level.

Why? Because he passed the provincial examination, he was called a scholar.

What does it mean that a scholar can engage in official work in the county even if he meets the county magistrate without bowing to him? It means breaking away from the identity of farmers and realizing the leap of class.

Class crossing is like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

Therefore, most people are extremely nervous. They have studied hard for ten years and have been waiting for today.

Lin Su was not nervous.

Because he knew that today's scientific examination would be fair.

No matter how unfair feudal society is, it is absolutely fair in the scientific examination field, because this scientific examination is not controlled by those in the political arena.

Scientific research is the private domain controlled by the saints.

No matter how long the hands of the Minister of War are, he can't reach for the scientific examination.

No matter how stupid the emperor was, at most he could only grant him the power of being a Jinshi, which would not change the mainstream direction of scientific examinations at all.

As long as his grades are good enough, not even the emperor can stop him from moving forward!

No one can cheat on the scientific examination!

This is the reason why he is proud of everything!

(The reader squirted tea onto the screen. Damn it, it’s like you’re not cheating.)

The golden bell rings three times and the tester enters.

Lin Su's eyes slid over Zhang Haoyue's obviously proud face, and he stepped into the examination room with "335" written on the left. There were 3,000 students taking the exam in Haining, and there were also 3,000 single-room examination rooms. From the outside, this examination room looked It's just a sign, but when you walk inside, it's as big as a bathroom, with a table, a chair, a stack of manuscript paper, a lamp, a basin, and a toilet.

Lin Su sat on a chair, waiting for the golden bell to ring.

…

In the back hill of Qiankun Academy, there is an elegant small courtyard with a bamboo house, bamboo railings, bamboo paving, and a bamboo garden outside.

The courtyard is full of books, and the bamboo shadows are swaying in the wind.

As soon as Qiu Mochi appeared beside the bamboo garden, a small peacock suddenly flew from the bamboo forest above. The peacock shouted: "Mochi is coming, Mochi is coming..."

Qiu Mochi raised his head: "Is aunt here?"

"Auntie is here, Auntie is here!"

The peacock's tail feathers fluttered slightly, and the bamboo shadow in front of him suddenly parted, revealing a road paved with bamboo, leading directly to the small lake in front.

By the lake, a woman in white clothes was painting a picture with her back to the bamboo garden. The peacock flew up and threw it into the drawing board in front of her. It was actually printed on the drawing board, and now it became a painting again.

"Auntie, your paintings are becoming more and more difficult to distinguish between reality and reality!" Qiu Mochi exclaimed happily.
