Anyang Villa, located on the edge of the inner city, is the second property of Hou Pangyi of Anyang in the capital.

Xingjing Inner City is inexpensive, it is not easy for others to have a courtyard here, but Pang Yi is one person occupies two places, although the other courtyard is located on the edge of the inner city, the area is not large, but it can still be seen that the power is extraordinary.

It's not something you can buy with money alone.

On this day, as soon as it was past noon, people came and went in the courtyard, and it was very busy.

When the sun went down and the sky darkened, the courtyard was lit with lights, and when it was a little later, the lights were bright.

Since the evening, people have come one after another, bowing hands to each other, and they are all Confucian disciples.

"When I received the invitation, I didn't think so, I thought it was a military general, it was not a big deal, but after I came, I saw you and realized that it was another grand event!"

At the gate of the courtyard, several familiar Confucian students met and stopped talking.

This time, the daughter of the Marquis of Anyang held a banquet in the courtyard and sent out invitations, and the people selected were all slightly famous among the candidates, and the number was small, but when they gathered together, they also looked full of culture.

This exam, there are thousands of candidates, if everyone comes, don't say that Anyang Villa, even if it is the same as Anyang Houfu, you can only choose someone to send the post, however, this also reflects the strength of Anyang Houfu from the side, as if you have a certain understanding of the situation of many candidates, which can be screened out.

Here, Confucian was talking, and as soon as the man's voice fell, someone shook his head and said: "Although she is the daughter of a military general, the Marquis of Anyang is different from ordinary military generals, not only after the honor, but also after the military achievements." ”

"Oh, Brother Wang. You came from the land of Sanjin in Hedong, and you want to know a lot about the frontier, I don't know what the merits of this Marquis of Anyang are?"

The scholar of this question, from the south, this talent ceremony, gathered people from all over Darui, all over the world, at that time communication was not smooth, there were no magical mortals, it was difficult to get the news of current affairs. Not to mention military intelligence. I don't even know much about the generals of Da Rui.

This is also Da Rui Cheng Ping for a long time, Ma Fang Nanshan, already with literature to unify the military, scholars are born with a sense of superiority over military generals, so they don't pay much attention.

But now it's about militarism. He is in Xingjing again. Naturally, it's different.

Being asked. The scholar surnamed Wang replied: "The Marquis of Anyang guarded the north, and took the initiative to send troops several times to attack the hinterland of Beihu. Drove several major tribes, cut the enemy again and again, is a first-class famous general, a recent war, if he did not turn the tide, I am afraid that the country and the dynasty will have to cede the land and sue for peace. ”

As soon as he said this, he inevitably caused others to discuss, and they each had their own opinions on military strategy, and he was like a famous soldier in his words.

But some people frowned and asked, "Why did Brother Wang say the word 'again'?"

"You still don't know how to do this...... scholar surnamed Wang shook his head, knowing that he was missing, but he didn't deliberately hide and cover up, which led people to reverie.

In this way, others want to know the situation more, and they ask more carefully for a while.

This group of scholars talking is a microcosm, surrounded by similar groups, either two people facing each other, or groups of three or five.

Their topics are not complicated, most of them are military affairs, or related to the lord of the other courtyard, Anyang Hou, but it didn't take long for them to focus on the exam, but not all the questions involved in the conversation were the content of the exam, and there were rumors related to the exam.

"Have you heard? This time, the exam questions were leaked in advance. ”

"I've also heard a little about this, and I heard that there are officials from the Ministry of Rites involved, and the imperial court has sent officials to secretly investigate. ”

"Really, I thought it was nonsense!"

"The Gongyuan has not yet opened, and many examiners are still among them, and I don't know if there are any changes in the road. ”

"If you miss the question early, it's not necessarily impossible, as far as I know......"

......

Let's talk about it, the scholars slowly moved forward and slowly walked into the other courtyard.

When passing through the door, many people couldn't help but look twice at the two guards standing by the door.

The two men were dressed in armor and motionless like statues, but anyone who walked by the two of them could catch a little unusual aura from the two of them, and they felt strange, and goosebumps appeared on the surface of their skin.

On the other hand, the two guards looked at the scholars with a subtle look of contempt.

"These two people have also been on the battlefield, although they have restrained their killing intent, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of leakage. This Pang family is really extraordinary, worthy of the family in the army, the two guards outside the examination room that day were wanton, which was already surprising, but I didn't expect that the guards guarding the door today were also extraordinary. ”

In the distance, Qiu Yan walked slowly, he saw the doorman by the door, and soon saw a clue, thinking in his heart, his feet did not stop, step on the ground, his body swayed, giving people a feeling of lightness, as if there was no slightest strength, but as soon as his body shook, the person was a foot away, abrupt but natural, full of contradictions, and a few scholars on the side did not react.

Time, two days have passed since the day Pang Qianru and others came to the door.

Qiu Yan came here this time to attend the banquet, compared with two days ago, his face was still pale, but with a little blood, but when he walked, he still gave people a feeling of weakness.

The two doormen, who couldn't look down on the weak appearance of many scholars, happened to see Qiu Yan at this time, and noticed his pale complexion, vain steps, and the contempt in his eyes became more and more intense, but when they blinked their eyes, there was a sudden figure in front of them, and Qiu Yan was already close in front of them!

"Huh?" A trance struck, making the two of them have a vague sense of memory, and then their anger and blood rushed and they repeated Qingming, but Qiu Yan had already passed by them.

"The scholar just now ......" The next moment, the two guards glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes, and then they actually restrained the contempt in their hearts.

..................

"My control over the city's thoughts is not pure enough, it affects the senses of ordinary people is good, if it is for some people who are cultivated and full of qi and blood, the degree of interference will be greatly reduced, and it is still not enough to participate in enlightenment. ”

In the courtyard, Qiu Yan, who entered through the door, was thinking. Someone at the door greeted him and asked him to take out the invitation.

Qiu Yan also has an invitation, which was sent to the inn by someone from Pang Mansion yesterday.

Walking into the courtyard gate, bypassing the photo wall, a table was set up, there was a roster on the table, a middle-aged scholar was sitting behind, comparing the list, and behind him, there was a young man in Tsing Yi. Eyes gurgling.

After Qiu Yan handed over the invitation. Not in a hurry, he turned his head to look at the scene in the courtyard.

The main hall is brightly lit, and you can faintly see the carved beams, and the path in front of the door is on both sides. There is a low table and cushions......

between table mats. Many scholars gathered and scattered, and were led by others, and sat down in turn.

"There are a lot of people here today. ”

Just when Qiu Yan was muttering. The middle-aged scholar took his invitation, glanced at it, and then was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at the person again, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

"It turned out to be Mr. Qiu, please inside, my young lady has been waiting for a long time. ”

Qiu Yan nodded and stepped in, and the middle-aged scholar turned his head and gave an order to the little guy, who took the order and ran towards the backyard.

Qiu Yan didn't pay attention to it, and under the guidance of the famous maid, he walked inward, looking at this momentum, he was about to enter the main hall.

This scene, seen by the scholar at the door, inevitably caused discussion.

In this banquet, only a few candidates were invited, and everyone who was invited was very happy, but as soon as they walked in and saw the seat arrangement, they knew that some people were sitting in the outer courtyard, and some people could enter the room, and their hearts were immediately unbalanced.

Intellectually, they know that there are many people who are invited, and the lobby is small, so it can only be arranged in this way, but emotionally, there are a few people who feel that they are inferior to others, and those who can enter the lobby are undoubtedly the best, how can those who cannot enter be convinced?

Seeing that Qiu Yan was about to be led in, several people who were close immediately stepped forward.

"Wait!" is led by a thirty-year-old man, gentle and elegant, with a heroic spirit hidden between his eyebrows, and at first glance he is a resolute person.

"Dare to ask this brother's noble surname?" he stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and quietly blocked Qiu Yan's way.

"This son......" The maid who led the way was about to explain, but Qiu Yan took a step forward, squinted and looked at the other party, and the essence in his eyes flashed.

The man on the other side suddenly had a feeling of being seen through, and he was actually retreating, but he had to send it when the arrow was on the string, calming down the strangeness in his heart, he was about to speak, but was preempted by Qiu Yan.

"This brother, maybe he thinks I'm raw, but I was led to the lobby, and I was unwilling, so I came over to stop it, right?" As soon as Qiu Yan spoke, he made his words clear, and there was immediately a tense atmosphere around him.

Qiu Yan met Wen Zhizhen outside the Gongyuan that day, and his reputation had spread, but there were many people at that time, and it was impossible for everyone to see his appearance, so this face was still very unfamiliar in the eyes of many people.

"This ......" The man didn't expect Qiu Yan to be so direct, and he opened his mouth for a while.

"Don't be surprised. Qiu Yan laughed, he came to the banquet this time, the purpose is twofold, one is to make a name for himself, to clear many artificial obstacles, and the other is to understand humanity and grasp the humanity of the talented people of the Wenhui, no matter which one, it is inevitable to deal with the banquet people, and some people come to the door, and there is no reason to retreat.

"Wen Wu is the first, you must be unconvinced, and you don't need to say anything, the fight is, I see that you have perseverance between your eyebrows, your demeanor is dark and legal, and there is a gentleman's respect for himself in your eyes, what you learn should be the way of Sun Sheng, I will show you a spirit of Sun Sheng, if you can solve it, Qiu will naturally retreat!

Speaking of this, Qiu Yan turned his head to the maid and said, "Go get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." Between the words, the aggressiveness is overflowing.

The maid served the big family, and she had seen many characters, but she was still calmed by Qiu Yan's words, and when the other party's eyes fell, she was shocked, and she was full of excitement, she didn't dare to refute it, and took the order to go!

When the maid went, Qiu Yan looked at the man who was as stunned as a wooden chicken opposite, his eyes turned, his gaze swept over the few people behind him, and then smiled: "Several, don't stand behind, come forward." (To be continued......)
