Treasure Hunt

Yang Wenyu walked through the crowded crowd and got into the innermost place. With a sense of urgency and anxiety, he began to watch from No.1.

No. [-] pick, no.

No. [-], no

Tanhua, no

No.4, no

……

last place no

Without my own name... Did I fail again? !

Yang Wenyu looked forward from the last place again and saw No.1.Really not myself.

Yang Wenyu withdrew from the crowd in disappointment, and walked down the street alone in a daze.

Why?Why are those wealthy sons who eat, drink and have fun all day can easily enter the court, but I have nothing in ten years of poverty?

When Yang Wenyu walked into the pharmacy, a yellow figure greeted him.

"Brother Wenyu, how did you do in the exam this time? Grandpa Meng said you went to see the imperial list." The visitor was dressed in a goose yellow dress, with a pair of flat bun hair accessories, and an emerald hairpin on his head. , a pair of eyes are round and big, very agile.No makeup was applied on the face, but there was also the purity of the jasper next door.

Grandpa Meng is the owner of this clinic. He is very skilled in medicine. There are many people who come here for consultations. Mr. Meng is also very kind. When Yang Wenyu failed the scientific examination, he was discouraged for a while. Allow yourself to stay in his infirmary.

Yang Wenyu looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and couldn't help but feel sour.Said: "Niaoyao. Let's go in and talk."

"Brother Wenyu, as long as you can step into the official career, I believe you will be able to make a big difference! At that time, Daddy will not hinder us from being together." The woman in yellow took the young man's hand and pulled him away. into the house.

Looking at the yellow figure in front of him, Yang Wenyu couldn't help feeling sad.

Liu Niaoyou is the only youngest daughter of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Because Liu Shangshu is old and has a daughter, Liu Niaoyou has three older brothers.Therefore, since birth, Liu Niaoyiao has been extremely loved, holding her in her hand for fear of breaking and melting in her mouth, she is truly the jewel in the palm of the Liu family.The Liu family also seemed to intend to keep the only daughter from the darkness of the court, so Liu Niao is now 17 years old, and she has become more and more graceful, but she still maintains a pure personality, which is rare in a family of officials.

Originally, the noble daughter who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth was incompatible with a humble scholar like Yang Wenyu, but just like what was written in the script, the two knew each other right away.

This goes back to Yang Wenyu's first scientific examination failure.On the day when the list was released, Yang Wenyu went to see the yellow list full of confidence, and found that his name was not there, but the young master who usually only knew about eating, drinking, and having fun in the Duke Huguo's mansion got a spot!Yang Wenyu, who was aggrieved in his heart, didn't go back to the inn after reading the imperial list, but rushed to the scholar's mansion, he must ask clearly!

When he walked to the scholar's mansion, he was stopped by the guards at the door.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War is talking with the adults inside, so I don't have time to see you!" A guard said with a straight face.

"Get out of the way! Let me in! I'd like to ask why Shen Shijie was selected!" Yang Wenyu shouted angrily.

The guards in front of the gate are still unmoved. After the results are released every year, there will always be some candidates who are dissatisfied with their grades and come to the Bachelor's Mansion to make a fuss. They can't let them all in. If so, then they don't have to dry.

At the side, an older guard couldn't bear to see Yang Wenyu's heart-piercing appearance, so he said, "You, you can have a snack. Who is Mr. Shen? The son of Duke Hu ! What is the relationship between the Duke of the Protectorate and the University Scholars? Brothers! You young man, why don’t you have a brain?? Thanks to you, you are still a scholar.”

After hearing this, Yang Wenyu didn't speak.He naturally understood what the elder guard said. Yang Wenyu is a smart man, and it's not unexpected that cheating in the imperial examinations occurred. It's just that he took it for granted that the black-box operation was just that those sons who came from wealthy families had better connections. , There are many people who find a bachelor to write an article for themselves. Yang Wenyu disdains this very much. He believes that his article will not be inferior to those scholars who write it for him. Yang Wenyu has confidence in himself.

It's just that he didn't expect that the imperial examinations had become so shady, and the examiners had no eyesight, and they only judged talents based on their closeness.

When Yang Wenyu was stunned, a group of people came out.The leader, Yang Wenyu, has met, and he is the bachelor of this assessment.And there is another person next to him, who is also dressed in brocade clothes, and his position is not low.A group of people led by the two came out talking and laughing.

"Brother Liu, don't worry, have I ever shied away from something you entrusted to me?" the Grand Scholar said, cupping his hands.

As soon as Yang Wenyu heard it, he guessed that this "Brother Liu" also came through the back door. Is there any official surnamed Liu in the court now?Yang Wenyu was the first to think of Liu Shiming, Minister of the Ministry of War.And as far as he knew, the Minister of War did have three sons, and the third son, Liu Mufeng, was the champion of the imperial examination!

When Yang Wenyu thought that he originally intended to use the imperial examination to enter an official career, but was always overwhelmed by the officials' children, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he rushed out: "Master examiner! Please stay!"

A group of people were startled by the sudden appearance of the voice. The Grand Scholar frowned when he saw the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him. He still had some impression of Yang Wenyu.Asked: "What's the matter with you?"

"I would like to ask the examiner, when did the imperial examination become a noble examination?" Yang Wenyu stared at the bachelor and asked.

The Grand Maester couldn't help but frowned, and said, "What do you mean?"

"Hmph! The imperial examination was originally intended to allow all talented, educated and ambitious people to compete fairly, but you officials are colluding. The imperial examination is monopolized by the nobles. Didn't you reflect on your own practice?!" Yang Wenyu asked angrily road.

Unexpectedly, today's imperial court is already so smoky and full of snakes and rats. If you enter an official career, you must correct this unhealthy trend.

"Young man, do you think my son is not worthy of being the champion?" Liu Shiming stroked his beard and said.

"Whether you are worthy or not is very clear in your heart. I don't need to say anything more. I just hope that the examiner will reflect on his behavior." It is best to retake the exam.Of course, Yang Wenyu knew it was impossible.

After speaking, Yang Wenyu turned his head and walked away. He walked more and more hurriedly, and even started to trot in the end.In fact, the young man himself was secretly terrified. Those were the Grand Scholar and the Minister of the Ministry of War just now, and he was not something he could offend. What if they got angry and killed him, he was secretly annoyed at his impulsiveness just now.

When the young man ran around the corner and disappeared, the bachelor slightly bowed his hands to the minister of the Ministry of War, and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry about those people's nonsense, every time the rankings are released, there will be candidates who are dissatisfied, and I am also very upset." Helpless, but your son is indeed a pillar of talent!"

Liu Shiming smiled and said: "It's okay, thank you brother."

"Father, I want to go shopping in the market." Said Liu Niao, who had been standing beside Liu Shiming without speaking.

"Go, bring the guards, and go home before dark." Liu Shiming has always loved this daughter very much, and he will agree to her daughter's requests as long as they are not excessive.

"Yeah, thank you father." After finishing speaking, Liu Niaoyou left.

...

Yang Wenyu walked aimlessly on the street, he didn't know what to do or where he was going.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Suddenly, someone behind him grabbed Yang Wenyu's sleeve, interrupting the young man's wild thoughts.

Yang Wenyu turned his head and saw that it was a woman holding him back.Dressed in bright yellow, about fourteen or fifteen years old, without makeup, the most attractive thing is a pair of watery almond eyes, very lively.At this moment, the girl was pulling herself panting.

Yang Wenyu turned around and asked, "What's the matter, girl?" "I want to ask you, what's wrong with my third brother?" the girl asked.

"Your third brother?"

"It's Liu Mufeng, the current number one scholar. My name is Liu Niaoyao." Liu Niaoyao let go of Yang Wenyu's sleeve and said.

"Hmph! The children of the nobles are just relying on the shade of their ancestors." Yang Wenyu said dissatisfied.

But no matter how angry he was, he didn't intend to be as knowledgeable as the ignorant girl who was unworldly at first glance, and turned around to leave.

"Hey, hey, don't go, you must have misunderstood! My third brother is both intelligent and courageous! He doesn't rely on his father!" Seeing that Yang Wenyu was about to leave again, Liu Lingiao hurriedly followed.

"What's your name?" Liu Niao asked.

The young man "Yang Wenyu" was already in a bad mood, and now that the woman was chattering beside him, Yang Wenyu was even more irritable, but he couldn't do anything about this woman.Not to mention that she is the daughter of the Minister of War, even if it is a girl from an ordinary family, Yang Wenyu would not be able to lose his temper with this little girl in the street.

Afterwards, Liu Niaoyou often came to Yang Wenyu to chat and stroll around the market.What Liu Niaoyao talked about to Yang Wenyu most was her father, mother and three older brothers.

Now, looking at the face of the beautiful woman in front of me, in three years, the girl has matured a lot, her manners are elegant and decent, and her appearance is getting brighter and brighter. show.On the other hand, I am still a scholar.In fact, Yang Wenyu has always had a low self-esteem in the face of Liu Niaoyiao, and dared not disclose the relationship between the two.He wholeheartedly wanted to wait until he was admitted for an official career, to achieve something, and to propose marriage to the Liu Mansion in an open and aboveboard manner.

Liu Niaoyao looked at the young man in front of her with a melancholy expression, and there was a faint result in her heart.Then he said, "Brother Wenyu, let's go out for a stroll."

After finishing speaking, Liu Niaoyou dragged Yang Wenyu out of the hospital.

"Brother Wenyu, what do you think of this paper-cut? Does it look good?"

"Brother Wenyu! There is a seller of candied haws!" Just as he put down the paper-cut in his hand, Liu Niaoyou hurriedly dragged Yang Wenyu forward again.

Yang Wenyu felt bitter. The rich girl and the poor scholar, as written in many folk tales, would have two outcomes in the end. One is that the two scholars lost their names and Sun Shan was forced to separate because of their status.

Obviously, the situation of Yang Wenyu and Liu Nianiao is more inclined to the latter.
