That night, the Teochew Hall was bustling with activity.

When the shopkeeper Chen saw that the thirty-nine lifters had chosen to stay in their Chaozhou Hall, he was immediately overjoyed, and sent his subordinates to be busy, for fear that these lifters would find something wrong.

After learning that they had the intention of holding a banquet, they greeted their own cooks, and asked people to order food and move wine to the restaurant, and waited for these sudden people as if they were old men.

The banquet was held in the lobby of the hall, and although it was a little crowded, it was the atmosphere that everyone wanted. It happened to be a little snow outside, but it added to the atmosphere of the banquet.

Southerners, especially Cantonese who have never seen snow, still yearn for snow.

At the banquet, Lin Haoran naturally became the focus of everyone's attention, especially about what he experienced that night and why he arrived in the capital one step ahead of them.

What happened that night did not need to be kept secret, so Lin Haoran told the story of General Huo Shen and Xu Haiyu's party, and specifically pointed out that those people on the third floor were killed before the sneak attack.

"I said! How could blood drip from the roof of the ship at that time! ”

Ning Jiang's hand slapped heavily on the tabletop, his handsome face was a little distorted, but he just looked up at Yang Futian and looked at him teasingly, his face couldn't help but flush.

Everyone also suddenly realized that they had been kept in the dark all along, and it turned out that General Huo Shen turned out to be a big villain, and a chill surged in their hearts.

"Senior brother, what then? Did they find you? ”

Chen Qingshu and the others were fascinated by what they heard, so they opened their mouths to ask.

Lin Haoran told him about General Huo Shen leaving, but he suddenly went and returned, and had no choice but to jump into the sea to escape, and then fell to the island, and was finally rescued by the sailors led by Yu Dayou.

Here, he hid Feng San. After all, Feng San is a person in the palace, and he may become a eunuch in the future, and he will also be admitted to the Jinshi to become a Wenchen, and that experience is best hidden.

Everyone listened with relish, and nodded frequently, feeling shocked by Lin Haoran's experience.

It's just that they all thought that Lin Haoran took Yu Dayou's ship back to Zhejiang, and then went to Beijing to take the exam, but when they heard Lin Haoran's words, they actually went to Bainiao Island with the fleet to exterminate Xu Hai's remnants.

This time, Lin Haoran did not hide that he killed Xu Liang, although it was an unintentional move, but it will undoubtedly become a beautiful resume for him, and even help him in his future career.

Ning Jiang, who was pouring wine for him, was stunned for a moment, and looked up in surprise and said, "You...... You're the blood scholar? ”

The others stopped their wine glasses and looked at Lin Haoran in shock.

On the way a few days ago, they heard about the heroic deeds of a scholar who killed Xu Liang, and praised that scholar for his bloody nature, but they didn't expect it to be their senior brother Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran was not modest, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because of this merit that General Yu interceded with Governor Wu, and I was able to go north with the tribute ship and arrive earlier than you." ”

When everyone heard this, they were also convinced, and at the same time, they finally understood why Lin Haoran was one step ahead of them.

"If I had known this, I should have gone up to the third floor with you that night, then I could have become a hero!" Yang Futian screamed strangely, and said loudly in annoyance.

Ning Jiang immediately struck: "It's almost like a dead body, and the wooden cabinet that can hold you hasn't come out yet!" ”

"It's better than you, you don't even have the option to go up!" Yang Futian glanced at it lightly and shot back loudly.

When Ning Jiang heard this, he stopped saying a word and squatted on the ground to draw circles. That's his trouble, I'm really afraid that this big mouth will be publicized.

After listening to Lin Haoran's wonderful experience, some people also told their tragic experience, but in comparison, it was bleak.

However, all this is no longer important, they all arrived in the capital safely and achieved the best results.

At noon the next day, although many people were still lying in bed in a daze, they were all pulled up one by one. Thirty-nine people went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, where they registered for the examination.

When everyone returned to the hall, the shopkeeper Chen greeted him and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the nearby Jiangxi Hall held a hall meeting, invited our Chaozhou Hall people to participate, and gave us four posts!" ”

"I'm not from Chaozhou, Brother Ning, you should go over on our behalf!" Lin Haoran found that everyone was looking at him, so he handed over the trouble to Ning Jiang, shrugged his shoulders and walked inside.

Ning Jiang was also polite, and asked the shopkeeper to hand over the four invitations to him, and invited the Chaozhou people to go with him.

After Lin Haoran returned to the room, he wrote a letter to his family and gave it to Yinliang to send it to the second child of the guild hall. Although there were for-profit organizations such as the Civil Information Bureau in this era, the letters could not reach Changlin Village, and could only reach the Shangshi Restaurant in Guangzhou City.

It's just that with Hu Niu's playful temperament, I'm afraid that I don't need to ask the shopkeeper Sun to send it back to the Qingfeng Restaurant in Dianbaicheng, she herself is in Guangzhou City, and the letter will come directly to her.

The days passed quietly, and there were some celebrities in the circle of people these days.

Due to the importance of the following conference examination and the palace examination, the weight of the policy theory is extremely important, and the special policy theory is the core position in the palace examination, so the exchange at the literary meeting is more about policy than poetry and songs.

A good strategy will get a literary name that is no less than poetry and songs.

Taking Su Shi's father Su Xun as an example, Su Xun has almost no other works that he can handle, but with only one "Theory of the Six Kingdoms", he is not only famous for a while, but also won the reputation of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties.

It is precisely in this way that whoever can come up with a subtle and wonderful strategy in the literary meeting, the name of the article can be sung in the capital, and even won the favor of some big people.

Nowadays, thousands of people gather here, which can be described as a hundred flowers contending, and excellent works are also emerging in endlessly.

Among so many works, Xu Wei's "On the Evils", Mao Dianyuan's "Anti-Japanese Policy", and Lin Shizhang's "On the Prohibition of the Sea" are the most outstanding, so the three of them are talked about.

Ning Jiang is a master who likes to be lively, and he also got into the literary meeting, and his "Strong Soldier Strategy" has also won some fame, so he is a little fluttery when he walks for a while.

Lin Haoran didn't care about these "disputes", stayed in the hall all day long, never participated in any literary meetings, and concentrated on preparing for the exam.

In his opinion, instead of spending time here, it is better to concentrate on preparing for the exam. It's just that he knows the subsequent development of things, and I'm afraid he won't have this idea in mind.

An inkstone of plum blossom fragrance dyes ink, and splashes ink to write spring and autumn.

Time flies, time passes in the tip of the pen stained with ink, and the time for the trial is quietly coming.
