Chapter 87 Two bowls of egg custard
'Ten years of hard study, just to become famous'. Any student who participated in the imperial examination looked at the day when the list was released and saw his name on the list. This 'permanent' fact has always been the case.
This time, the imperial examination is held at the same time as the literary and martial arts, and the list is naturally released on the same day. However, the release of the literary examination is to tell everyone who has passed the examination. The release of martial arts on this day is to decide who can participate in the martial arts test three days later. As long as you take the martial arts examination and get the approval of the examiners, you can complete this martial arts township examination and become a martial arts person.
This imperial examination is different from the previous one. Before the examination, even if you fail the college examination or the township examination, as long as the important minister in the court recommends, you can go to Beijing Normal University to participate in the examination. And the fourth prince was sent to Jiangling Mansion for this purpose. If there are students in Jianglingfu who fail the examination, but they can get the 'recommendation letter' of the fourth prince, they can still go to Beijing Normal University to participate in the examination.
However, Huo Qingqing only guessed that Liao Wenbo could not have sex with the four emperors so soon, and Lv Hong and Lv Xianger did not care. But the brother and sister's heart has increased their good impression of Liao Wenbo and Qingya. Lv Hong paid the most attention to the day the list was released.
For Lv Hong, the day when the literary examination is released is the day to decide whether he can go further to the hope in his heart. Although Lv Hong showed no care in front of Lv Xianger and everyone. But when this day really came, Lv Hong was still very nervous. However, Lv Hong was still afraid that Lv Xianger would worry about himself. Although he got up before dawn, he just sat in his room and did not go out.
Sitting quietly in the dark, Lv Hong remembered the days when he lived in Qinghe Village and those playmates. I heard that Zhao Yi, who was in the same year as Lv Hong, was already the father of two children. Although he was not admitted to Luming College, he went to school for a period of time. Now, he is already the gentleman of that school.
And Zhao Yi's compatriot sister Zhao Xiu actually married Zhang Xiaobao, the youngest son of Mrs. Zhang. Although Zhang Xiaobao loved to bully others when he was a child, now he is under the control of Zhao Xiu. The two of them lived a very good life. Even Mrs. Zhang provoked them many times, but did not damage the relationship between them.
If Lv Erniang is still living in Qinghe Village with Lv Hong and Lv Xianger, Lv Hong should be married now, and perhaps he should be the father of the child. Every day, like the master Zhao Pu, he should make a living by "hunting in the mountains". Life should be very ordinary, but it should also be very warm.
"Brother, open the door." Lv Hong was thinking about it, and a smile appeared on his face. At this time, a gentle knock on the door interrupted Lv Hong's imagination.
Hearing Lv Xianger's voice, Lv Hong was surprised, but he quickly opened the door and let Lv Xianger enter the room. At this time, it was not dawn, and it was still a little cold. Lv Hong didn't want Lv Xianger to catch a cold and get sick. However, speaking of illness, Lv Hong is really curious that he hasn't seen Lv Xianger sick for so many years.
"Brother, don't you know that you will wake up so early and look at me with such strange eyes?" Lv Xianger put the two bowls in her hand on the table and made a grimace at Lv Hong.
Lv Hong was shocked by Lv Xianger's grimace by the moonlight and immediately laughed and said, "Are my eyes so strange? Oh, what a delicious steamed egg custard. I'm just hungry."
He pulled Lv Xianger and sat down together. Lv Hong put one in front of her, and then he sat down and ate another bowl of egg custard. Seeing Lv Hong grinning with his hot teeth, Lv Xianger immediately laughed. But as she was happy, she also picked up the porcelain spoon and ate with Lv Hong.
With a bowl of egg custard, Lv Hong is comfortable. However, Lv Xianger got up and put away the bowl and was about to turn around and go out: "Brother, after eating the egg custard, just rest for a while. After dawn, let's go to see the 'list' together.
"You are thinking a lot." Lv Hong understood Lv Xianger's intention and couldn't help laughing again. But when Lv Xianger just came to the door, Lv Hong thought of something and suddenly said, "Xiang'er, you come back and sit with your brother for a while. He wants to talk to you."
"If my brother wants Xiang'er to accompany me, then Xiang'er will talk to my brother." Lv Xianger rarely heard that Lv Hong wanted to talk to her, so she walked back and sat opposite Lv Hong.
Lv Hong hesitated for a long time, and then asked softly under Lv Xianger's curious eyes, "Xiang'er, you're about to have time. Have you ever thought about what kind of man you will be in the future?
"Brother, your lifelong event hasn't been solved yet, but are you still worried that I can't get married?" Lv Xianger was slightly stunned and was a little funny. It seemed that she had asked Huo Qingqing. But thinking of her purpose at that time, Lv Xianger couldn't help asking doubtfully, "Brother, do you have anything to say? I'm your sister. Why do you have to beat around?"
"Xiang'er is still as smart as usual." Lv Hong first praised Lv Xianger a little, then coughed and said uncomportedly, "Xiang'er, there are many children in the world. It's really rare to be as outstanding as Brother Liao. However, Brother Liao comes from a famous family, is handsome and talented. It is impossible to marry a little lady like us..."
"Brother, what do you always mention Mr. Liao?" The more Lv Xianger listened, the more confused she became, and she interrupted Lv Hong.
Lv Hong raised his head and saw the doubt in Lv Xianger's eyes, and understood that he had said everything he had said before. After coughing again, Lv Hong still said tentatively, "Xiang'er, I mean, if, if, if. If Mr. Liao has a good impression on you, you will treat him, to him..."
"Brother, you have said so much, you just want to know if I will marry Mr. Liao, or someone like him, right?" When Lv Xianger saw Lv Hong nodding, she couldn't help laughing. While smiling, Lu Xianger said, "Brother, are you thinking too much? Mr. Liao is five or six years older than me. When I get married, he may be getting married. Besides, do you think he will be interested in such a young lady as me?
Lv Hong was relieved to see that Lv Xianger did not have any unmarried little lady talking about the shyness of her favorite person. But he didn't agree with what Lu Xianger said. If Lv Hong hadn't found the brilliance in Liao Wenbo's eyes when he looked at Lv Xianger, how could he have remembered to talk about this with Lv Xianger?
However, since Lv Xianger did not care about Liao Wenbo, Lv Hong did not want to say this, so as not to cause Lv Xianger's confusion, but would make her pay too much attention to Liao Wenbo. People like Liao Wenbo can easily get the favor of unmarried girls.
"In that case, my brother can rest assured. In case you are attracted to Brother Liao and willing to be his concubine, my mother will definitely not recognize you as a daughter. Lv Hong's tone was relaxed at this time, and there was a hint of ridiculing in it.
Lv Xianger raised her head and said without hesitation, "Yes, yes, if you know that you have been reading a little lady who can't be with you, you will definitely not recognize your son."
"You, how do you know?" When Lv Hong heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. His body straightened up and looked at Lv Xianger in shock.
Seeing Lv Hong's appearance, Lv Xianger smiled proudly and said, "You are my brother, and I know you very well. Just by looking at your elegant look and manners, you will know that you are interested in others. Unexpectedly, he fell ill for diving for others, and he never blamed the sinner's family for missing the exam. Brother, do you have a deep affection for others?
"Don't talk nonsense in front of Qingya." Lv Hong was exposed by his sister's secret. He was a little embarrassed and dared not look at Lu Xianger.
It is rare for Lv Xianger to see Lv Hong's shy appearance. It's so funny that she even wants to laugh out loud. But if you think about it again, Lv Hong's expression shows that Lv Hong is sincere to Qingya. Lv Xianger, Lv Hong's character, is very clear. If he recognizes Qingya, he will not die before Qingya gets married.
Thinking of this, Lv Xianger's expression immediately became serious and said to Lv Hong seriously, "Brother, although we are not very clear about Qingya's identity, she is Mr. Liao's cousin after all, and she should be no worse. Besides, are you sure that Qingya also has a good impression on you?
"Xiang'er, I'm your brother, and you don't have to care about me. Look, it's dawn. We should go out to eat the breakfast made by Aunt Zheng. Lv Hong knew that Lv Xianger was worried about him, and he also knew that what Lv Xianger said was what he had to face, but Lv Hong didn't want to face this in front of Lv Xianger. In Lv Hong's heart, Lv Xianger has done enough for him for Lv Erniang. This time he has to face it alone.
Lv Xianger didn't want to end this topic, but she found that the light outside and the movement that Aunt Zheng had already got up could not continue. The helpless Lv Xianger had to get up and walk out. Before turning around, she said seriously, "Brother, if you really like Qingya, you'd better show your feelings to her as soon as possible. Otherwise, when she has someone she like, her sister won't comfort you.
"I know, you don't even know how much you look like Niang now." Lv Hong pointed to the two empty bowls on the table and smiled at Lv Xianger. When Lv Xianger walked out of the room with a bowl and closed the door, the smile on Lv Hong's face slowly faded.
I don't know how long he sat. When Lv Hong heard Huo Qingqing's cry, he stood up with a smile and began to change his clothes. After eating a bowl of egg custard and chatting with Lv Xianger for a long time, Lv Hong's heart calmed down a lot. However, Lv Hong took a deep breath when he thought that he would decide his fate later.
