Chapter forty-four clues
After Liu Hua asked about the information he wanted to know, he thought for a moment, and then he took out a piece of broken silver: "Thank you for the news provided by Mr. I would like to accept these feelings. I have a question below, hoping that Mr. will fulfill it.
My brother ran out because he had a lawsuit at home. Mr. Mr. had helped me a lot before. If the government found out about this, he might suffer an unrestrained disaster. Therefore, I hope that Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr.
After saying that, Liu Hua stood up and left without waiting for the scholar to refuse. He just did his best. As for whether the scholar could listen or not, he couldn't control it.
Hearing Liu Hua's words, the scholar wanted to return Liu Hua's money to him, but he didn't expect that Liu Hua left after saying that. Looking at the silver in his hand and seeing the letter that was not moved, the scholar seemed to understand something. He put up the items on the stall, then closed the stall and went home.
Liu Hua followed the scholar's guidance and walked to the east. After walking for a while, he found that he had come to an official road and grabbed a pedestrian on the road to inquire. Only then did he realize that this official road leads to Chengde.
After sorting out the matter out of his mind, Liu Hua vaguely understood Bai Xiaoyu's whereabouts after escaping from Bai's mansion. Looking at the pipeline leading to Chengde in front of him, a place name appeared in his mind - Shilin Villa.
Since Bai Xiaoyu had said that she would go to sue the emperor before, she would definitely try every means to meet Kangxi. Hu Yingzhong's people guarded the intersection from Hebei to the capital, and she could not enter the capital at all.
Even if she entered the capital, she would not be able to see Kangxi as her identity, and she was in danger of being caught at any time, because the environment in the capital was even more complicated, and she was a weak woman and could not hide at all.
The only way is to wait for Kangxi to come out of the Forbidden City. The Wenqu Competition in Shilin Villa is now such an opportunity. At that time, Kangxi will visit the competition in person and give rewards to the winners. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Bai Xiaoyu, so she will definitely go to Shilin Villa to participate in the competition.
Thinking through the key point, Liu Hua decided to go to Shilin Villa to find Bai Xiaoyu. He intercepted a carriage heading to Chengde on the road, talked to the owner for a long time, and finally got on the ride-hailing car.
After arriving in Chengde, it was early the next morning. He was bumping in the car all night. He didn't sleep well. He got off the carriage and thanked the owner. Then Liu Hua went to the locals to find out the direction of Shilin Villa?
Liu Hua found a young man dressed as a scholar and asked the other party about the location of Shilin Villa with a modest expression. When he heard Liu Hua ask about the place where Shilin Villa was, the other party looked at Liu Hua and saw that he was not old and very beautiful, the scholar mistakenly regarded him as a scholar who went to participate in the competition.
Seeing that they were all scholars and everyone belonged to the gentle lineage, the scholar not only told him the location of Shilin Villa, but also told Liu Hua about the conditions for obtaining the competition.
Through the introduction of the scholar, Liu Hua realized that not everyone is qualified to participate in this so-called Wenqu Competition. If you want to get the qualification, you must first pass the test of the villa gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper of Shilin Villa was replaced in turn. Yesterday, it might have been an unknown old scholar, but today it became a scholar from the Imperial College, and tomorrow it might become a bachelor's degree from the Hanlin Academy.
Because the gatekeepers take turns to replace them, outsiders cannot understand their question-setting rules at all, but there is one thing that needs no doubt that the problems these people have are more tricky and more difficult to solve.
The scholar in front of Liu Hua was just beaten yesterday. His memorableness met an old peddler in his sixties. The old guy took the imperial examination all his life, but he didn't even pass the exam, and finally got a bachelor all his life.
Yesterday, this old scholar probably thought he was crazy about his wife. The topic he gave was actually related to love. He asked everyone to use a seven-character poem to describe a complete love in the world in a stick of incense. This poem should include longing, encounter, joy, happiness, surprise, distress, sorrow, liberation, and enlightenment.
Moreover, this poem cannot be the same as ordinary seven-character poems. Most ordinary seven-character poems have four sentences, but this old scholar asked everyone to write a seven-character poem that requires at least forty sentences. As a result, more than 100 talented men and women who went to apply for qualification yesterday failed.
Because everyone only has one chance to apply for qualification, more than 100 people, including this scholar, lost the opportunity to enter Shilin Villa yesterday. In addition to claiming that they were unlucky, they could only claim that they were unlucky.
After saying goodbye to the scholar, Liu Hua followed his guidance and walked towards Shilin Villa. At noon, he finally arrived at Shilin Villa.
The facade of Shilin Villa is a quiet path with green leaves. The villa is surrounded by flowers, plants, trees and various plants. The courtyard wall hundreds of meters is covered with green plants. From a distance, the villa and the surrounding environment are integrated.
Although I haven't seen the scene in the villa yet, relying on everything in front of me, Liu Hua felt that the villa was full of primitive, tranquility, peace, tranquility, and a vibrant atmosphere.
When he came to the gate of the villa, he found that hundreds of young men and women had gathered here, all of whom had depressed expressions on their faces. In the middle of the gate of the villa, an old pedan wearing a thick linen was drinking tea with leisurely looks.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel curious and said to himself: "Why are these people all wearing this expression? Could it be that the question asked by the guard at the door was too difficult?" Seeing this, he pulled a young scholar next to him and asked him what was going on?
When he heard Liu Hua's inquiry, the scholar told him with a depressed expression that the gatekeeper of Shilin Villa today was the same person as yesterday, and the questions he had asked were the same as yesterday. The talents in front of him were thinking about how to solve the questions he had asked.
While the two were talking, the old scholar saw Liu Hua, waved his hand at him, and then whispered: "New little guy, come here quickly to register the information, and then follow the young talents to answer my old questions."
When the talented men around saw another unlucky person coming, they all cast a sad look at Liu Hua. Liu Hua ignored everyone's eyes and thought about the questions raised by the old scholar in his mind. Then, he walked towards the old man with a smile.
