Chapter 234: The Trial of the Heart (3)
Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er stood in the examination room, but no one noticed them, and two hours later, the exam was announced to be over, and the examiner put away all the test papers.
Haisheng felt very good today, Wen Si Quanguang, today he was very satisfied with his answers, the examination was over, and the results were only available three days later, Haisheng went back happily.
In a large hall at the back of the exam room, the examiner sat down next to the desk, and several invigilators sat next to him.
The examiner began to flip through the test papers, and Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er followed, and the two of them wanted to know the results of the exam as soon as possible.
"This Haisheng studies hard, in fact, he has a great chance of passing the guò exam without our help, but his grades may not be so good."
"Well, Haisheng and Xiaoyue are quite pitiful, I hope they can live a good life in the future" Qin Ke'er rarely rose with a trace of pity.
Usually Qin Ke'er shows people with a cold face, but Wang Ke found that Qin Ke'er seems to have undergone some changes recently, which is exactly what Qin Ke'er is gradually changing under the influence of civilians.
"Senior sister, have you felt any changes in yourself recently?" Wang Ke asked curiously.
Qin Ke'er was slightly stunned, looked at Wang Ke, pondered for a while, and then nodded slowly: "It does seem that there are some changes, I feel that I can break through to the middle stage of foundation building in these two days, I thought it would be a while, is it because of the recent change in mood."
"Hehe, I think it must be like this, the change of mood makes your realm improve, and it is natural to break through the middle stage of foundation building, no wonder that senior would say that the mortal world is good for heart refining" Wang Ke said with a sudden realization.
"Maybe that's right" Qin Ke'er nodded, these days. He had seen too many things that he had not seen in the Aoki Sect, and there was some simplicity in the commoners. Kind-hearted, diligent. Firm will is not seen in many monks.
At this time, the examiner was engrossed in flipping through the test papers, time was nothing to Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er, and several hours had passed in the blink of an eye.
"Lord Wen, Prime Minister Zuo's daughter is asking to see you outside" At this moment, a guard walked in from the outside and said respectfully.
"Oh, go and invite her in" The examiner's surname is Wen, who is over the age of six, but he is very energetic. Divert your attention from the exam paper at this point.
"Today is the busiest time of the year for Lord Wen, I'm really sorry that the little girl took the liberty to come here" Before the guard could go out, a beautiful voice like a yellow warbler came from outside, and then a beautiful woman in a pink palace dress came out from behind the screen.
This woman is twenty years old, with curved willow eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes below, and delicate facial features, she is a rare wonderful beauty. Next to him was a maid.
"Miss Zuo, please take a seat" The examiner stretched out her hand and pointed to the seat next to her, and the woman surnamed Zuo walked to the side unceremoniously and sat down.
"Master Wen, today I came to see my brother's results, I don't know if it's inconvenient to disclose" The woman smiled. Like a hundred flowers blooming.
"Prime Minister Zuo's son is rich and rich, full of wealth, and today's answer is very perfect. I have looked at his papers, out of all the candidates. There aren't many people who can beat him to his level."
"Oh, do you mean there's anyone better than my brother. Isn't my brother the first in this exam?" the woman said with a move in her heart after listening to the examiner's words.
"Well, in the exam papers of this meeting, there are indeed a few test papers with very exquisite answers, even I have to admit their talent, and their strength should not be below your brother, among them, Wang Guang's disciple when he was in the university of the dynasty, you also know, he is also a famous talent in Lingjun, and the son of the military department Shangshu is also a famous young man in the county," asked the examiner carefully.
The woman nodded when she heard the words of the examiner, these people said by the examiner are all famous talents in Lingjun, and she also admits that these people are very strong, but in her heart she feels that the level of her eldest brother should be one line higher.
"However, among these test papers, I am most satisfied with the answer of a person named Hai Sheng, whose test paper is full of powerful words and profound meanings, which makes me feel amazing when I read it," the examiner praised.
"Haisheng, why have I never heard of such a talent" The woman showed a puzzled look on her face, as the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo, she often went in and out of elegant places with her eldest brother, and met many talented people, but among these young talents she knew, there was no one named Haisheng, and this name was the first time she had heard of it.
"Hehe, the entrance examination is not only for people from Lingjun to participate, among them, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are many masters, and it is not surprising that there is an occasional talent in the world," the examiner smiled and said.
"Master Wen is right, I don't know if this Haisheng's test paper can give the little woman a look" The woman nodded, looked at the examiner and pleaded.
"This ......" The examiner showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, you must know that this exam is a national event, and it is against the rules to show the test paper to outsiders.
"Don't worry, Lord Wen, I'm just curious about this person's brilliance, and I don't have any other intentions," the woman nodded slightly and said.
"Okay, it's okay to show you" The examiner hesitated for a moment or decided to show Haisheng's test paper to this person, after all, this woman is the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo, although he is the chief examiner and presides over the affairs of the examination, but Prime Minister Zuo has a lot of power, and he can't afford to offend at all.
Finding out Haisheng's test paper and handing it over, the woman took the test paper, her eyes turned slightly, as if she was tasting something, and only nodded after a while: "Sure enough, it's a rare good article, this kind of writing is not worse than the eldest brother, maybe he knows the mind of the questioner better, I want to meet this person where this Haisheng's address is."
usually follows her eldest brother to read and study literature, Zuo Qian's literary talent is not much worse than those so-called young talents, and she is a well-known talented woman in Lingjun.
"I'll help you find it" Every candidate has a record here, and it is not difficult to find Haisheng's residence, and soon Zuo Qian left the examination room.
"Miss, are we really going to the outer city, my lord ordered" Walking out of the examination room, the maid who followed next to her said with some hesitation.
"It's okay, let's go and go back and see what kind of person this Haisheng is. Doesn't the eldest brother like to get acquainted with literary scholars the most, if I introduce Haisheng to him. He's going to be happy, but I'll have to get to know him before I do," Zuo Qian said with a smile.
Zuo Qian's carriage then left the middle floor. And Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er also followed, and the examination room should be about the same, Haisheng will definitely be able to pass the guò exam this time.
Outside the city, a lavishly decorated carriage slowly drove into a remote corner, and the surrounding dwellings looked a little shabby, and the passers-by were also dressed modestly.
"It's all poor here, does Haisheng live here" Through the car window, Zuo Qian saw the surrounding environment and said with some surprise.
"Miss, let's see if it's here" Suddenly the maid's voice came. The carriage stopped outside a small forest, and according to the record left by Haisheng, Zuo Qian confirmed that it was in this wood.
"Let's go in and have a look" The woods are not very large, the trees are sparse and not too dark, but they seem to be quiet.
Zuo Qian walked forward cautiously, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she had never been to such a place before. Compared to the wide lanes in the city, it's too difficult to walk.
Soon after, the bamboo house where Haisheng lived in front of him appeared in the eyes of the two, looking at the old bamboo house. A hint of surprise flashed in Zuo Qian's eyes.
The maid led the way in front and slowly approached the bamboo house, and it was afternoon. The light is not dim, after approaching the bamboo house. The two saw a figure looming inside.
Through the gap, Zuo Qian saw a weak scholar sitting upright in front of a copy. Holding a scroll in his right hand, he reads it with gusto.
From the side, this person has a delicate face and a clear silhouette, and the coarse cloth robe on his body can hardly hide the strong scholarly atmosphere, which is actually very harmonious with the environment in which he is located.
For a moment, Zuo Qian felt as if she had seen a real elegant person, and she became even more curious about this person.
"Xiaoqing, go call the door" came to the bamboo house, Zuo Qian commanded, the maid nodded respectfully, came to the bamboo house, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door.
Haisheng inside was reading, and when he heard a knock on the door, he thought it was Xiao Yue coming back, but Xiao Yue always came back late, so it shouldn't be her.
When I opened the door, a young girl was standing at the door, smiling and looking at herself: "Is it Mr. Haisheng?"
"In Xia Haisheng, I don't know what your Excellency has to find here" Haisheng had doubts on his face, the girl in front of him was twenty-eight years old, he had never seen it, how could he know his name.
"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's my young lady who wants to see you," the maid named Xiaoqing said and turned around and walked back.
Hai Sheng was slightly stunned, looked up, and saw a beautiful woman not far away standing in the distance with a dignified demeanor, and when he saw himself looking over, he smiled and nodded to himself.
In an instant, Haisheng felt that his eyes lit up, and from this woman's temperament, he could see that she had an extraordinary background, and she must have been born in a rich and noble family.
"The little woman Zuo Qian, I took the liberty to visit today, I heard that there is an elegant person here, and today I saw that it was really different from ordinary romantic people, I don't know if I can sit inside" Zuo Qian's voice was beautiful, and she spoke in a good way, and Haisheng almost lost her mind.
"The humble house is simple, please two of you" Haisheng was happy in his heart, after taking the entrance examination today, he felt very good, it seems that this woman learned her news from the entrance examination.
Entering the bamboo house, Zuo Qian found that it was even more humble than she imagined, and her eyebrows frowned slightly, "Mr. is studying here?"
"Hehe, let the young lady smile, the humble house is the only way, the gentleman should be self-improving, I can use this to motivate myself, brave the wind and waves in adversity, and break out of my own world" Haisheng said with pride, without the slightest inferiority, as long as he can pass the exam, he can leave this place, and when the time comes, he will have everything he needs.
Haisheng's ambitious words fell into Zuo Qian's ears, which made Zuo Qian's eyes light up, and praised: "What a gentleman who strives for self-improvement, today I read your exam papers, it turns out that you have such a heroic spirit, no wonder you will make such a wonderful article."
Haisheng felt completely different in Zuo Qian's eyes at this time, although it was still a coarse cloth robe, he had a convincing temperament.
"The girl praised it falsely, and Xiaosheng didn't dare to be ashamed," Haisheng said modestly.
Zuo Qian and Hai Sheng are like confidants who have reunited after a long absence, chatting is becoming more and more speculative, and before you know it, time has passed, Hai Sheng is full of economy, and Xiao Yue can't exchange words with him in normal times, and today it is rare to have a woman like Zuo Qian to communicate, and I am very happy in my heart.
"Miss, we should go back, if we don't go back, I'm afraid the adults will be to blame" Seeing that the time was not early, Xiaoqing next to him reminded loudly.
"Ah, it's so late, I'm sorry to bother you for too long" Zuo Qian looked up at the sky outside, exclaimed, stood up and bowed down and apologized.
"Hehe, Xiaosheng can have a long talk with Miss, I hope there will be opportunities to communicate together in the future" Haisheng said with excitement on his face.
Then Zuo Qian got up to say goodbye and left the bamboo house with Xiaoqing, Haisheng looked at Zuo Qian's back, and there was a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
Wang Ke and Qin Ke'er stood not far away, looking at Yiqiē, only to hear Wang Ke say: "This is a person's life, if Haisheng hadn't participated in this examination, I'm afraid he wouldn't know this woman named Zuo Qian."
"Yes, let's go, let's go back first, won't it take three days for the results to come out" Qin Ke'er nodded, and soon left the woods with Wang Ke and returned to the General's Mansion.
Wang Ke continued to study Dan Dao, and Qin Ke'er also returned to the courtyard, and soon after, a powerful aura fluctuation came from the courtyard where Qin Ke'er was, and I saw that the aura that enveloped the entire courtyard was stirred, and then suddenly shrank towards the center, all merging into Qin Ke'er's body.
Wang Ke looked up at the courtyard where Qin Ke'er was, and smiled slightly, he didn't expect Qin Ke'er to break through so quickly, it should be the reason why he felt something in his heart and improved his mood. (To be continued......)
