Will succeed

After a while, the girl came back, followed by a group of beautifully dressed women.Such a scene made all the people in the room who were still doing their own things look over.Quite a few people saw these girls and directly pushed the girls around them away, staring at them stupidly.

When Fu Li saw these people, his face turned pale with fright, but Jing Xi was still sitting there without any discomfort.At this time, Fu Li really admired Jingxi.

Several girls lined up, all styles.Coquettish, cute, weak... It dazzles everyone's eyes.Jing Xi stood up and walked past the girls one by one.It's fine to just walk, Jingxi kept making 'tsk tsk' sounds while walking.

And from Jingxi's expression, he couldn't see what he was thinking, so the bustard couldn't guess whether Jingxi liked these people or not.

After walking around, Jing Xi returned to his seat and sat down, finally showing a clear expression on his face.He said to the bustard with disappointment: "Are these all the girls in Tianxianglou? I don't see anything amazing!"

Hearing this, the old bustard's face remained unchanged, but in his heart he secretly scolded Jing Xi, who came from Chang'an, for causing her trouble.Although she really wanted to throw him out, she didn't know the details of Jingxi and the two, so she didn't dare to do it recklessly.

"I don't know what this master likes?"

Jingxi looked thoughtful, then seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and said: "Ah! I suddenly remembered that a friend in Chang'an once told me that you have a girl named Yanniang in Tianxianglou, isn't that right? "

Hearing Yanniang's name, the bustard froze, and her reaction obviously did not escape the eyes of Jingxi and the others. "Hehe, I'm afraid it's not easy for the two masters. They are newcomers and even know Yanniang's name."

What the old bustard said was quite meaningful, and she looked at Jingxi and Fu Li with vigilance.Seeing this, Jingxi hurriedly said haha: "Then we must not be simple! Can a simple person run all the way from Chang'an to the customs here? However, my friend really said that Yanniang was too beautiful , I really want to meet, but I don't know if you will give me this chance?"

Saying that, Jingxi took out a silver ingot from his bosom and stuffed it into the hands of the bustard.However, the bustard did not believe Jingxi's words just because of Jingxi's explanation and the heavy silver ingot in his hand.

Of course, no matter how much you doubt, you have to see it with your own eyes to be able to realize it.After all, thieves take stolen goods.

Inadvertently accepting the silver ingot, the bustard waved her hand to signal the girl to take all these girls back, saying: "Since this master wants to see Yanniang's beauty, I can't stop it. But, to see Yanniang, you need some conditions."

As soon as the words were finished, Jing Xi replied impatiently: "I have money, as long as I can see Yan Niang, money is not a problem!" Jing Xi waved his hand, looking like a playboy.

Fu Li couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, whether this Jingxi acted too much... However, seeing the old bustard's expression, it seems that he still eats this routine!

"It's not about money anymore. Although money is a necessary thing, our Yanniang is a person who pays attention to civil and military talents. Did the two masters see the door over there?"

The old bustard pointed to the door that Jingxi and Fu Li had mentioned, and asked them with a smile.

"Nonsense! That door is so conspicuous that anyone with eyes can see it, okay?" Jing Xi rolled his eyes, expressing his impatience with what the old bustard said.

The old bustard didn't care, but continued to ask: "The two masters, do you know what's in it?" Although Fu Li didn't speak all the time, the old bustard kept talking about the two, and this point just made the old bustard's city mansion revealed.

Fu Li was still sitting there upright, completely different from Jing Xi.

Hearing what the old bustard said, Jing Xi pretended to be puzzled, and asked, "What is it? Could it be that there is no fairy?"

Seeing that Jingxi never left the beauty in three words, Fu Li was helpless.But the bustard is very willing to see Jingxi behave like this.Glancing at Jingxi, the bustard said mysteriously: "There are not only beauties there, but also many novelties!"

Hearing this, Jing Xi cooperated with a curious look, with an excited smile on his face: "Then what are you waiting for? Take us in!"

Speaking of this, the old bustard laughed and said: "Didn't you just say that Yanniang likes people with civil and military talents? If you want to get in there, it depends on your abilities!"

"Is Yanniang in there too?"

"nature."

Hearing this, Jingxi fell into distress, as if there was some trouble.He looked at Fu Li, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "Okay, let's see, let's go, brother, let them see your skills!"

With that said, Jing Xi pulled Fu Li to stand up, and Fu Li was stunned.Immediately, he understood what Jingxi meant.Since Jingxi played the role of a person who can come to Tianque from thousands of miles for beauty at the beginning, then he can't have too many skills, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.Then, if you want to get in, you have to let yourself out in the limelight.

Although he understood that all of this was for the sake of the mission, Fu Li still couldn't help but have black lines all over his head.

After Jingxi pulled Fu Li to the left, the bustard waved lightly, and immediately a servant came out from behind. "Keep an eye on them all the time, and report immediately if there is anything unusual."

"Yes." After the boy replied, he disappeared into the crowd of people in the room again.It turned out that although the bustard had told Jingxi how they got in, she obviously still doubted them.

Telling people to keep an eye on Jing Xi and Fu Li is to take precautions before they happen.

This old bustard is very vigilant.

Walking to the door on the left, Jingxi and the two were stopped by the gatekeeper as soon as they approached.And the bustard also came here at the right time.

"Not ready yet? These two are going inside!"

Hearing this, the gatekeeper immediately ran away, as if to get something.Jing Xi asked puzzledly, "What is this for? Why don't you arrange a competition between the two of us?"

The old bustard smiled, and the creases on his face made people want to vomit: "Isn't this going to prepare? The first one is a literary test, to test whether the knowledge of the guest officers has reached the standard for entering this room."

Jing Xi nodded clearly, and didn't ask any more questions.

After a while, the gatekeepers came back with boxes, pens, ink, paper and inkstone in their hands.The four gatekeepers lined up, holding different things in their hands.

The old bustard walked up to the gatekeeper and explained to Jingxi and the others: "The essay test is divided into four rounds, and the first three rounds are all pairs. The last round is to keep calligraphy for the professionals invited by Tianxiang Tower." Appreciation by people. Only after passing these four levels at once can we proceed to the next round of competition."

The madam spoke very clearly, and when the madam said something, the people on the right were already attracted.It's been a long time since they've seen anyone come to challenge this, and one or two want to see it.

Being watched by so many people, the two of Jingxi did not appear nervous or unnatural.Seeing this scene, the old bustard's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and his guard against Jingxi and the two became even deeper.

Signaling the gatekeeper to open the first box, the bustard stepped aside so that Jingxi and the others could see clearly what was written on it.As soon as it was unfolded, some literate people read it: "Rain, rain, wind and wind, warmth and cold, look for it everywhere."

As soon as the words fell, Fu Li's unique cold voice came out from behind the mask: "Yingying Yanyan, flowers and leaves, Qingqing evening and evening."

Fu Li's second couplet without hesitation drew applause from the people below. In fact, they didn't know what it meant, and they couldn't taste it, but as long as it sounded similar to the previous one, they thought it was good.

Seeing that Fu Li made the first pair so easily, the old bustard quickly congratulated: "This master is really silent, and he is a blockbuster! Open the next box!"

Hearing the old bustard's words, the gatekeeper hurriedly opened the next box.After unfolding, I saw the writing on it: The boat carries the scull, the scull moves the boat, and the boat moves because of the scull.

I thought it would make Fu Li think for a while, but after reading the first couplet, Fu Li immediately came up with the second couplet: "The thread is threaded through the needle, the needle leads to the thread, the thread is sewn and the needle is stitched."

Now everyone didn't know what Fu Li was talking about, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.Some of those girls understood, but in this situation, they would not stand up and say something.

The madam changed her face slightly, and when she looked at Fu Li, she didn't ignore her as before.He waved his hand, but the bustard didn't speak, and signaled the gatekeeper to open the next box.Seeing this, the people below realized that Fu Li had passed again, and immediately clapped their hands and applauded Fu Li.

Fu Li's expression remained unchanged, and even Jing Xi was still as confident as he was at the beginning.The old bustard was a little displeased, thought that the two of them had little knowledge, and wanted to block them out of the door, but who knew that they were hiding their secrets, how could this make her happy?

But looking at the frail bodies of the two, he thought that even if he passed the literary test, he would definitely fail the martial test.Thinking of this, the bustard's face recovered a lot.

one two three four five six seven.This is the upper couplet taken out of the third box.As soon as this couplet came out, the people below all showed doubts on their faces. Thinking about how difficult such a simple couplet can be?

The strange thing is that this time Fu Li didn't say the second line immediately.Seeing this, the old bustard had deep meaning in his eyes: "This master doesn't know what to do?"

However, the next moment, Fu Li's voice sounded: "I believe you only know what you mean in this first couplet. Are you sure you want me to talk about the second couplet?"

"Oh? I don't know what this master means, but the slave family can't understand it!"

Hearing what the old bustard said, Fu Li said without any hesitation, "This is a couplet of hidden characters, also known as a couplet of missing characters, or a couplet of Tibetan characters. That is to say, some words that need to be highlighted are deliberately omitted in the couplet, and the meaning behind the words is implicitly and skillfully conveyed. .The hidden characters are hidden but not revealed, and the winding path leads to seclusion, which has a meaningful meaning."

Having said that, Fu Li paused.
