After going down the stairs, Li Xianyuan saw the waiter in the aisle ahead arguing with a beggar in front of the door. He paused slightly, then walked straight past without stopping.

The beggar and the waiter were in a tangle, and he didn't notice that Li Xianyuan walked through the aisle.

From the stairs to the first floor, the waiter who had previously led the donkey to lead Li Xianyuan into the guest room came up and asked Li Xianyuan what to eat, but Li Xianyuan said no.

The waiter did not let him go, rubbed his hands and chuckled: "Look at the guy dressed as a scholar, but he is here to take the exam?"

"That's right."

"This examination room is in front of the county yard. You can go out to the east to get out of the inn. Why don't you go and take a look? The villain thinks it will be easy to get a child student with his or her gift."

No matter how stupid he was, he could see what the waiter meant. Li Xianyuan reached into his sleeve and groped for a while. Under the waiter's look of looking forward, he took out two cents and handed them over.

He only had more than twenty copper plates on his body, but Li Xianyuan didn't have to be stingy for a few cents.

After collecting the money, the waiter immediately felt extremely happy. He shook the white towel on his shoulder, nodded and bowed: "Thank you, guest officer. If you have any needs, remember to call us and go and do your business first."

After getting off the waiter, he lifted the curtain and walked out of the inn. The aroma of wine and meat was blocked in the curtain. The bright sunshine shone on the blue bricks on the streets. Passers-by unconsciously felt that it was much more prosperous than the countryside.

Li Xianyuan went to the backyard of the inn to see Xiaoqing. It was eating hay in the stable. When he saw Li Xianyuan coming, he picked up the hay and sniffed. He had no choice but to pick up the hay and feed it to him before he gave up.

At this time, on the second floor of the inn, two guests sitting by the window poured wine and ate food to each other, and whispered to each other.

"I must have no hope... By the way, have you heard that the Li family is recruiting a slut marriage to his second lady."

"This incident spread throughout Wuhou County a few days ago. Finding a man for a dead man... Hey, it's really hard to guess the thoughts of rich people. Why, there's new news?"

"It's good to have new news. Miss Li Er is about to arrive at the first seventh day, and it will be unlucky if she is not buried. The person who comes to the door to be a son-in-law has not seen him for a long time."

"The eyes are too high and you can't blame others. Recently, Tong Sheng exams, all the young talents who were taking the exams around him have come. Even the county magistrate's son went there. After Wai Gua Lizao was kicked out, there were still dozens of people left. I heard that the old lady of the Li family finally chose Mr. Xiao from the next county. But who would have thought that Mr. Xiao passed the old lady of the Li family and could not pass the barrier of Miss Li Er who became a dead ghost."

"Huh? What's going on, come and talk about it."

"You are ignorant. The Xiao family is a big silk family. Mr. Xiao was admitted to the Tongsheng at a young age. He said he planned to pass the scholarship in the year. It can be said that he has a bright future and is handsome. But Miss Li Er is not favored by this person."

"The girl from the Li family doesn't like it? Isn't she dead?"

"Who said it was not? After paying homage, Mr. Xiao was sent to the boudoir. As a result, he was scared when he was not yet late. His face was pale and he ran home overnight. He heard that he was scared and peeeded his pants..."

"Hahaha, the feelings are still haunted?"

"Who knew that I heard that the ancestor of the Chunyang Sect, Lu Dongbin, the leader of the Eight Immortals, and Han Xiangzi, were drinking in Shiweitian in Xinjing two days ago. Although we only met the Land Lord when we were young, the rumors were 80% true. Since all gods can come down to the earth to drink, it is reasonable for a ghost to find a husband, hehe..."

"And what then?" A voice penetrated in from the slanting ground.

After spending a lot of effort to find the little beggar in Room No. 13 of Henry, he was turned away. When he went downstairs to look for Li Xianyuan, he happened to hear the three words "Pure Yang Sect" and couldn't help but come over to eavesdrop.

The two guests looked at it and were a little beggar in a torn clothes, so they bang impatiently: "Where are the little beggars coming from? Go and go."

Another guest picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth. He stepped onto the bench and poured wine into the bowl. He opened his mouth and smelled wine: "Continue, where did you say it."

"Later, Old Lady Li retreated and secondly, he chose several young masters one after another, and the result was the same. The timid ones were scared to pee their pants. I heard that after Young Master Xiao ran back, the Xiao family refused to give up and invited a scholar to surrender to ghosts. Later, the Taoist priest from Laojun Temple persuaded him to damage his good deeds. The Xiao family gave up." The man paused and continued.

"So... we are not liked by the Li family. The Li family likes them either because they are scared away or they are unwilling to come. Over time, no one dares to be a son-in-law in the Li family. The family is deserted and even the business has been lost. Hey, you say, this girl from the Li family doesn't show off very much on weekdays and rarely hears about it. How can she be so troublesome when she dies?"

"yes……"

...

Wuhou County Government is located in the center of the city. Those who can live near the county government are all wealthy businessmen. In addition to the servants who go out to run errands and the young ladies sitting in the sedan chairs, this place is less quiet than the noisy and bustling area of ​​the inn.

Li Xianyuan lives in the mountains for many years without anyone else’s dilapidated temples, and there are few people and animals, so he is used to being lonely and lonely. It’s more comfortable to walk here.

Turning into a street, according to what the waiter said, not far ahead is the examination room.

As he entered this street, Li Xianyuan's steps slowed down slightly, with a little surprise in his eyes.

Now the season is clearly full of spring, but at this time it gives people a sense of autumn wind.

A breeze blew, and several fallen leaves mixed with paper floated by in front of you. Li Xianyuan reached out and grabbed a piece of paper, and opened it to see the round and pale hollow thin paper sheet, which was full of unknowns at first glance.

Paper money for the dead.

With a frown, he threw the paper money away. Li Xianyuan looked up and saw a team coming towards him at the end of the street. The sound of suona that was blown by the wind was also coming together.

Li Xianyuan raised her head slightly, not sure if it was a coincidence or something. A cloud blocked the sunlight and cast a large shadow. The breeze made people feel a little chill.

He turned around and found that there was no one else on the street. He was only himself and the oncoming team.

"I'm so damn in broad daylight." With a murmur, Li Xianyuan stared at the approaching team.

There were more than a dozen people in the team, lined up in two rows. The dozen people were wrapped in white silk and covered in linen. They played the suona while walking and spread paper money into the sky. Several men in the middle of the team were carrying a small and delicate black wooden coffin and came towards them.

What is strange is that a girl is sitting on the black coffin.

The girl is about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a satin robe with dark patterns and slanted collars, sitting with her feet raised. A piece of smooth calf stretched out from the satin robe, and her white and tender feet swayed with the coffin. The girl's face was extremely pale, but her lips were rubbed with rouge, which was bright and colorful.

This team was extremely strange. It was obviously playing joy, but instead carried a coffin of a famous girl. The team was covered in white numbness. Happy events were not like happy events, and funeral events were not like funeral events.

Li Xianyuan retreated to the side of the road, looking at the girl on the coffin with a little curiosity. The girl was also looking at him, her narrow and dark eyes were bottomless.

Paper money flew, and while looking at each other, the two sides passed by side. The team gradually moved away, leaving only a piece of paper money.

"Is it a ghost hitting a ghost or something big happened in Wuhou County recently, or is it the norm in this world?" Li Xianyuan, who had been living in the deep mountains for a long time, was puzzled and could not understand the reason. He shook his head slightly and brushed the paper money that fell on his shoulders, turned around and walked away.

It is an urgent task to pass the exam for children, and you will not consider other trivial matters for the time being.

I thought the examination room would be difficult to find, but I didn't expect that I would go far, so I saw a tall mansion with a mighty stone lion standing in front of the door, and a thick red painted door was opened. A table stood in front of the door, with three characters written on the registration area, and a servant behind the table was dozing off on the table. There was a gold-plated sign on the street, with two big characters vigorous and simple.

[examination room]

I was afraid that others wouldn't know, but the sign was standing in the middle of the street, which was extremely conspicuous. This exam room was a bit different from what I imagined, and it was more like a mansion.

Li Xianyuan did not doubt that he was there. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped up the steps and tapped the table to wake up the dozing servants.

The servant was awakened and stood up in panic while rubbing his eyes. Seeing the person coming, he breathed a few sighs of relief and asked, "Who is this young man looking for?"

Li Xianyuan said: "Two questions. Are you registering here? Can you register today?"

The servant was stunned for a moment, looked up and down with a very strange look, and immediately changed into a smile and welcomed with warmth: "Are you here to sign up? Of course, you can, please come in quickly, my son."

This family member definitely mistakenly recognized something. Li Xianyuan thought that he was too polite to him.

He couldn't help but look down at the linen robe that was washed with white hair, and then touched his face, making him a little clear. Perhaps his face was mistakenly thought by the servants.

Li Xianyuan followed the servants into the mansion. Not long after, the door of a house opposite the street suddenly opened, and a young man hurried out. There was a urging sound behind the door.

"Tomorrow is the registration date. Why don't you send the sign to the county government office now!"

"Go here and go here. If the butler hadn't called me, I'd been delivered now." The young man answered and ran to the signboard and carried the signboard and ran away.

A breeze blew, and paper money on the ground flew.
