Chapter 132

Han Maoyan was so angry at Fang Yichen that he tossed his sleeves and turned around to leave.

Fang Yichen then turned his attention to Ye Ximing again and asked with a smile: "How is it? Brother Ye, do you want to relax with me?"

Ye Ximing smiled lightly and said: "Thank you, Brother Fang, for the invitation. It's just that we've been tired all the way and now we just want to take a good rest."

Fang Yichen said regretfully: "Then I have to go alone."

After Zhou Ran and Da Niu came out of the toilet, they heard A Hua quietly tell her about the matter.

Zhou Ran couldn't help but look at Ye Ximing.

Ye Ximing noticed Zhou Ran's gaze and recalled the way Ahua had whispered in her ear just now. He curved the corner of his mouth, took Zhou Ran's hand and said, "I refused."

Zhou Ran glanced at Ye Ximing's hand that was grasping hers, smiled a little and said, "I didn't wash my hands."

The smile on Ye Ximing's face froze, and then he said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I don't mind it."

Zhou Ran shrugged, OK, if you say you don't dislike it, then I won't.

The group spent New Year's Eve in Fuquan County and stayed at Yunlai Inn for four days before the road on the Tunan Mountain side was cleared.

When Ye Ximing and the others packed up their things and left the inn, they happened to meet Han Maoyan and Fang Yichen who were also checking out.

So, the group of people set off together.

On the way, Fang Yichen couldn't stand Han Maoyan, and Han Maoyan couldn't stand Fang Yichen. However, Wei Yan and Fang Yichen got along very well, while Cao Bingwen and Han Maoyan talked very well.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, their group finally arrived in the capital.

Fang Yichen had relatives in Beijing, and he separated from them after entering the capital.

Ye Ximing and the others temporarily found an inn to settle down. Afterwards, Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing discussed it and decided to find a courtyard to rent for the time being.

Ye Ximing asked Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen, and they also chose to go with Ye Ximing and the others.

Although Han Maoyan had been with them for a while, they were not very familiar with each other after all. In addition, Cao Bingwen felt that staying in an inn would allow him to discuss poetry and essays with other people staying in the inn, so he did not go with them.

At this time, many candidates from all over the country had gathered in the capital. Although they arrived not too late, they could no longer rent a good, quiet courtyard that was close to Gongyuan.

But it’s not too difficult to find a yard that’s not too far away and has a quieter environment.

Ye Ximing asked Zhao Wu to find Yaxing, but he found the yard he wanted in just one day.

Ye Ximing and the others were very satisfied after visiting it, so they paid the rent and moved in on the same day.

After settling down, Zhou Ran went to Yahang to find a woman to cook for everyone or do chores every day.

Ye Ximing still doesn't go out much except for studying. Although before he left home, Mr. Zou told him that with his current knowledge, as long as he performs steadily, there is absolutely no problem in becoming a Jinshi. However, his goal is not only to be a Jinshi; Number one scholar.

Zhou Ran saw that Ye Ximing was so serious, so she accompanied her on embroidery at home. Although she wanted to go shopping around the capital, she was not in a hurry. She would have plenty of time when Ye Ximing would finish the experiment.

When Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen saw how serious Ye Ximing, Jieyuan was, they naturally did not dare to relax, and they also imitated Ye Ximing and studied hard in the yard.

However, during the Lantern Festival, Ye Ximing put down his book and accompanied Zhou Ran out to look at the lanterns.

The Shangyuan Festival in the capital is no less lively than in Nanxing County.

The lanterns all over the city illuminate the Shangyuan night as if it were daytime. People who guess lantern riddles, perform dragon lanterns, lion dances, etc. are very lively. Zhou Ran took a fancy to a lotus lantern. The lotus lantern was very delicate. Layers of pale pink lotus petals formed a semicircle surrounding the candle in the middle. The outermost layer of the petals was also wrapped with a few green leaves. There is a delicate tassel jade pendant at the bottom.

This lotus lantern should be the store's special item. You must guess fifteen lantern riddles prepared by the store correctly in a row before you can take away the lantern.

None of the lantern riddles were simple. Many people were eager to try, but gave up with regret.

Ye Ximing looked at Zhou Ran's eyes fixed on the lanterns and asked her, "Do you like it?"

Zhou Ran nodded, "It's quite beautiful."

Ye Ximing then stepped forward after the previous scholar tried it.

"Young Master, do you also want to give it a try?" the boss asked.

Ye Ximing nodded, "Boss, please tell me."

"The white snake crosses the river, with a red sun above its head. Guess a daily necessities." After the boss finished speaking, he added: "After the young master guesses the answer to the riddle, the young master still needs to give a second line."

Ye Ximing pondered for a moment and said, "The answer is the oil lamp."

Then he gave the second line, "Oolong on the wall, covered with thousands of gold stars."

Several scholars around him immediately clapped their hands and applauded.

The shopkeeper smiled and gave the second mystery.

Ye Ximing pondered for a moment and guessed again.

The shopkeeper then gave the next riddle, which became increasingly difficult, but Ye Ximing pondered for a moment before slowly giving the answer.

Gradually, more and more scholars gathered around. When Ye Ximing guessed all fifteen lantern riddles in a row and took the lotus lantern from the boss's hand, a scholar in green robe held it up and said, "I've seen you, brother." "Tai, I really admire my brother for his quick thinking. My brother, Xu Jin, what do you call me?"

Ye Ximing returned the gift and said: "Brother, thank you for your compliments. I am Ye Ximing."

Xu Jin added: "Brother Ye has such talent and learning, but I have never heard of it in Beijing. Brother Ye has just entered Beijing."

Ye Ximing nodded, "Ye has indeed entered Beijing not long ago."

Xu Jin wanted to continue talking, but Ye Ximing smiled apologetically at him and said, "Ye will go to the lantern festival with my wife, so I'll take my leave now."

After Ye Ximing said this, Xu Jin naturally couldn't stop him anymore.

Xu Jin frowned as he watched Ye Ximing hand the lantern in his hand to Zhou Ran and lead Zhou Ran into disappearing into the sea of ​​people.

During the Lantern Festival, there was no curfew in Beijing. It was midnight when Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing returned to the courtyard. Wei Yan, Cao Bingwen and the others came back not long after they entered.

Wei Yan was in a good mood, but Cao Bingwen was a little distracted.

When Ye Ximing asked, he learned that Wei Yan and Cao Bingwen were separated at the lantern festival. Cao Bingwen encountered a stampede. Although Cao Bingwen was not injured, he was frightened.

After comforting Cao Bingwen for a few words and asking the Aunt Lu they invited to cook a soothing soup for Cao Bingwen, Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran returned to the house.

The eighteenth day of the first lunar month is Zhou Ran's birthday.

Although Zhou Ran told Ye Ximing in advance that it was important that he would try now so that Ye Ximing would not have to worry about his birthday this year, Ye Ximing still prepared a gift for Zhou Ran in advance and cooked longevity noodles for Zhou Ran with his own hands, although the noodles were not cooked well. No matter what, but at least the intention is there.

Even the fireworks at night did not fall.
