The two demon kings of the Marquis of Wuding and the Marquis of Shouning went straight to the private room on the second floor after playing their majesty, but after they broke up like this, it was not good for the two provinces to continue to spray each other. What Xu Jin was most annoying about was this kind of meaningless war of words, and he took the opportunity to take the lead in the Four Seasons Building.

Four Seasons Building is one of the high-end restaurants in Ming Shifang, and the price of the dishes is not cheap, but today the business is still booming, almost full, and it is occupied by the provincial lifters who set up banquets to celebrate.

In fact, most of these people are not rich in money, and some of them are from poor backgrounds, and even the entanglement of entering Beijing to take the exam is made up by their parents and fellow villagers, but as the saying goes: When you sing about wine, what is your life? I will try high school, which is a great event in life, even if I tighten my belt, I have to treat myself. As for those who failed to make the list, they were purely here to eat, and they didn't have to pay a penny at the checkout.

Of course, the provincial lifters are naturally not rich in wealth, such as Weiyang and Fei Maozhong, who are both second-generation officials, and Xu Jin is also worth a lot of money.

As soon as Xu Jin, the Huiyuan, appeared in the hall of the Four Seasons Building, he immediately became the focus of the audience, and those who knew him immediately stepped forward to say hello with wine glasses, and those who didn't know him also came forward to mix their faces.

With the halo of "five yuan", Xu Jin can be said to be the most popular and dazzling one among the candidates of this year, if there is no accident, the top ten of the second class in the next palace examination are already proper, and even the chance of the top three (top three) is also very large. Moreover, at the age of less than seventeen years old for Xu Jin, once he enters the Hanlin Academy, as long as he does not die, he can slowly boil his qualifications and become a cabinet scholar. With such a promising potential stock, everyone is naturally willing to build a good relationship.

The shopkeeper of the Four Seasons Building learned that Xu Jin was the current branch of the Yuan, and immediately led everyone to the lobby on the second floor, and said that he would give a nine-percent discount, and also gave a jar of ten-year-old champion red. As for whether the year is enough, it is unknown, anyway, it is sent, and everyone will not care.

Due to the private room, the lobby area on the second floor is not very large, there are eight tables of wine, more than 60 Jiangxi lifters can sit down, as for the Zhejiang Province lifters who come later, there is no place, so they can only transfer to find other restaurants.

After the crowd sat down and talked about it for about half an hour, the wine and food were served one after another, and the scholars had a few cups of stomach as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and some people began to hit the bottom of the bowl with chopsticks, while chanting prodigy poems:

The Son of Heaven is heroic, and the article teaches Ercao;

Everything is inferior, but reading is high.

Young children must be diligent in learning, and articles can stand up;

Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty is full of scholars.

A group of scholars sang and drank wildly, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly high, but several people in a private room were unhappy, and extremely unhappy.

"Into their mother, these sour ghosts are crying wolf, and it's endless!" Guo Shouqian, the secretary of the Wuding Marquis' family, slapped his chopsticks on the table in annoyance.

Zhang Rui, who was in the Ya of the Hou family of Shouning on the opposite side, also slammed his fist on the table and scolded: "Master, go out and overturn their table!" ”

The short, fat, blind boy was holding a chicken leg and nibbling it with relish, but he was splashed all over his face by the wine that bounced in the cup, and the chicken leg in his hand fell to his crotch, and he stood up in embarrassment to wipe it.

Guo Shouqian and Zhang Rui couldn't help laughing when they saw this, and the former pointed at the squinting young man and said sarcastically: "Yan Shifan, are you a special starving ghost reincarnated?" is so fat that you can't even see your neck, and you're so greedy, you Lao Tzu is also a noble Hanlin cultivator, isn't it enough for you to eat? ”

The squinting boy wiped the wine off his face with his sleeve, and at the same time smiled, if it weren't for his left eye, the chubby face would still be quite cute.

This squinting young man's name is Yan Shifan, his name is Deqiu, and his father Yan Song is currently only a scholar of the Hanlin Academy (Zheng Liupin), and he is not qualified to play with noble relatives of Guo Shouqian and Zhang Rui in his capacity.

However, the three of them are currently studying in Guozi Prison, and Yan Shifan, a kid with a flexible mind, is used to sycophants, and has two brushes in interpersonal communication, and he is familiar with Guo Zhang and other noble children as soon as he comes and goes. Of course, Guo and Zhang just regarded Yan Shifan as a little follower, and they didn't regard him as a friend at all.

Like Guo Shouqian and Zhang Rui, these noble sons have lived in a honey pot since they were children, relying on the shadow of their ancestors, they don't worry about food and clothing, and they can inherit the title of Lao Tzu in the future, so there are few people who are interested in studying, and they go to school just to cross a layer of gold. As for Yan Shifan, this kid is a bit smart, well-read and memorized, but he is not keen on the imperial examination, relying on his father's relationship to get by after entering the Guozi Prison, every day he follows the buttocks of a group of noble sons and daughters, sneaks chickens and dogs, looks for flowers and asks willows, and is a frequent visitor to the Eight Hutongs at a young age. (It is said that Yan Shifan is the original form of Ximen Qing in the Golden Bottle)

Although Yan Song is a famous traitor in history, Jiajing monopolized the government for more than ten years in the middle and late periods, but this guy is a model husband, he has only one wife Ouyang in his life, and the two have two daughters and a son. Because Yan Song only has one son, Yan Shifan, and he is an old man, he is quite spoiled, knowing that his son is not doing his business in the Guozi Prison, he still lets himself go.

Anyway, today is Guozijian's day of rest, Guo, Zhang, and Yan met to Baishun Hutong (the famous fireworks willow lane) to be merry, but when they arrived at the ground, they found that they were invited out of the hall by a certain province to perform, so they went to the next house, however, the girl here was also invited out of the museum.

Today is the day of the trial list, and almost all the sisters who are a little famous in the Qinglou have been booked, so the three boys can only leave stupidly and come to the Four Seasons Building to have lunch.

At this time, Yan Shifan had already wiped the wine off his face, and his fat face showed a harmless smile on his face: "Zhang Shao, if you want to rectify the sourmen outside, you can lift the table, hehe, just add some of this to the wine they drink!" After saying that, he took out a small antique porcelain vase.

Zhang Rui and Guo Shouqian glanced at each other, then laughed obscenely, patted Yan Shifan on the shoulder and said, "Yan Deqiu, you are still a bad kid and have a future, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

Yan Shifan patted his chest and said: "No problem, Bao Zhun teaches those sour people to turn over on their backs, they are full of ugliness, and they want to drill when they catch a hole!" ”

Zhang Guo and the others smiled, their eyes full of excitement and expectation, because the bottle in Yan Shifan's hand was the rejuvenating medicine they used when they visited the Qinglou, and there was a name called Lienuyin, as the name suggests, any more chaste woman will drink it. What would it be like if the scholars outside drank it?

Quack Quack ......

The laughter of the three bad guys resounded in the private room!

Yan Shifan put away the medicine bottle and got up and left the private room to go downstairs, and found the steward in the back kitchen, and after a fierce threat, coupled with the temptation of silver, the steward reluctantly agreed to add medicine to the wine of Xu Jin and others.

"Yan Deqiu, how are things going?"

Yan Shifan returned to the private room, Guo Shouqian and Zhang Rui asked excitedly, and the former smiled and said, "Okay, you just wait to watch the show!" ”

So, the three bad bastards listened to the movement in the hall outside with bated breath, waiting for the show to begin!

At this time, the Jiangxi people in the hall were drinking and staggering, and Li Xi smiled with a few drinks: "Do you still remember that after the college examination that year, everyone drank and celebrated in the Nanchang Taibai Building, and the poems on the banquet were compiled and printed. Why don't we follow the example of that day now, and each person composes a poem, and then it will be printed at the expense of the next generation, and each person will keep a copy as a souvenir? ”

"Okay!" The crowd present applauded in unison, they can be famous without spending money, and if they don't applaud, they are fools.

Someone shouted: "How can there be no good wine in the poetry of the poem, shopkeeper, bring the wine!" ”

Soon, the steward of the back kitchen personally brought eight jars of good wine with his men, exactly one jar per table, and when they were opened, they were filled with all the lifts present.

Jiang Rubi said with a smile: "Xu Ziqian is the current branch of the Yuan, he should be benevolent, and he did this bowl first, right?" ”

Xu Jin was in a relaxed mood today, so he drank a few more glasses, and at this time he was already three points drunk, and he was in a high mood under the influence of alcohol, and immediately picked up the big bowl in front of him and drank it all when he heard the words.

There was a playful laugh out loud: "Okay, Xu Wuyuan is arrogant, there must be good poetry if there is wine, come on, hit us as much as you want, anyway, you're used to it!" ”

Immediately caused a burst of laughter!

Xu Jin wiped the wine stain on his chin and said with a smile: "This situation and this scene are suitable for borrowing the verses of the predecessors: the first immortal among the three thousand people, wait for the leisurely step to the blue sky." At that time, people were not surprised to become early, and Chang'e loved the youth. ”

As soon as Xu Jin finished groaning, there was a cheer from all around. Someone laughed and said: "It seems that Xu Ziqian is really drunk, what kind of poem is this, what kind of poetry is this, why haven't you heard it?" ”

"I haven't heard of it before, it seems that Xu Ziqian is really drunk and confused!"

Fei Maozhong shook his head and groaned: "The first immortal among the three thousand people, wait for the leisurely step to the blue sky." At that time, people were not surprised to become early, and Chang'e loved the youth. Haha, it's quite appropriate for Ziqian, it's just a little crazy, but our Xu Wuyuan can afford to be crazy! ”

The crowd burst into laughter again!

Xu Jin couldn't help but be a little surprised, the record of this poem in later generations was written by an unknown person in the Song Dynasty, could it be that the record was wrong, it was not written by a person from the Song Dynasty at all?

"Come, everyone has done this bowl for the first immortal among the three thousand!" Jiang Rubi picked up the bowl and drank it all, and the other lifters drank it all one after another.

In the private room, Guo Shouqian snorted and said: "Bullshit, this Xu Jin is really arrogant, he dares to call him the first immortal among the three thousand." ”

Zhang Ruihe said with a smile: "People stood out among more than 3,000 people and won the first place in the examination, and they are indeed qualified to claim to be the first immortal among the three thousand." ”

Guo Shouqian snorted coldly and said, "Ben Shao is not happy when he hears his name, and he enters his grandmother's!" ”
