Taibai Lou is located on the main street of the central axis of the north of the city, the building is four floors high, the decoration is extremely magnificent, it is one of the best restaurants in Nanchang City, the officials and businessmen in the city like to set up a banquet here.

However, today's Taibai Building is crowded with candidates from various provinces, and the list of the college exams is released, and the names on the list are naturally generous, and a group of classmates are invited to sing and drink wildly.

Xu Jin came to the outside of the Taibai Restaurant surrounded by a group of classmates and friends, and at this time, a sloppy middle-aged scholar was taken out by the guys in the restaurant.

The middle-aged scholar shouted while struggling: "How can this be reasonable, how can you treat a scholar so rudely, let go, Ben Gongzi will leave by himself." ”

The two men didn't care, and threw the scholar to the door, and the goods immediately rolled out into the street in embarrassment.

"Phew, the guy who looks down on people with dog eyes, you won't come even if you invite a notebook in the future!" The middle-aged scholar got up and said indignantly.

A guy said mockingly: "We can't afford to invite you Tang Dacai, so I won't send it away, besides, our shopkeeper said that Tang Caizi owes our restaurant two taels of silver, but you Tang Caizi is not welcome here in the future." ”

Another guy even scolded directly: "What a bullshit talent, talent can be spent as money, even if you eat and drink for nothing, you can pay back your drunken madness, get out, dare to make trouble again, and beat your dog's legs!" ”

"My son is too lazy to argue with you illiterate goods!" The middle-aged scholar patted his clothes, turned around and wanted to leave, but he took a photo with Xu Jin and the others, and immediately stood in embarrassment.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Brother Ziwei, it's really a place in life where you don't meet!" ”

This middle-aged scholar is not another person, it is the talented Tang Bohu.

Tang Xianghu looked quite embarrassed, arched his hand and said, "Brother Ziqian, congratulations on taking off the head of the court trial." ”

The second cow behind Xu Jin rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go up to the front of Haibian Tang Bohu to beat him, this guy tricked Uncle Ten into seeing Xiao Huakui last time, but Uncle Ten was arrested by Prince Ning and almost missed the hospital exam.

Xu Jin hurriedly stopped Erniu, and arched his hand: "Thank you, is Brother Ziwei interested in drinking two cups together?" ”

Tang Bohu glanced at the scholars around Xu Jin who looked unkind, and said very interestingly: "Brother Ziqian is kind and sincere, let's change the day, this son has other things to do today!" ”

Rao is Tang Bohu is thick-skinned, but he almost caused Xu Jin to miss the hospital exam last time, so he still has the face to eat Xu Jin's celebration wine.

Xu Jin was not reluctant, and was about to march into the restaurant with a group of classmates, when Tang Bohu suddenly shouted: "Brother Ziqian stays." ”

Xu Jin stopped and turned around and asked, "What's the matter with Brother Ziwei?" ”

Tang Bohu sneered: "Brother Ziqian, can you take the opportunity to speak?" ”

Fei Maoxian hurriedly shook his head and signaled Xu Jin not to agree, and Fei Maozhong said coldly: "Tang Ziwei, Ziqian was not badly harmed by you last time, what can't you say to your face?" ”

Xu Jin waved and said: "Minshou, Brother Ziwei probably didn't know about the incident last time, it doesn't matter to him, you wait a moment, I will have a few private chats with Brother Ziwei." ”

Tang Bohu showed a trace of gratitude in his eyes, turned around and walked to the other side of the street, and did not go too far. Xu Jin followed and said with a smile: "What is the matter?" But the twenty paintings that owe me are finished? ”

Tang Bohu said embarrassedly: "I haven't started writing yet, but since Tang has promised Brother Ziqian, he will definitely keep his promise." That last time...... I'm really sorry, and everyone Xiao asked me to bring this to you! ”

Tang Bohu said and took out a pink note from his arms and handed it over, Xu Jin frowned, took it and opened it, glanced at it, and put it away with a calm expression. The content of the note was nothing more than apologies, and Xu Jin didn't bother to read it carefully.

"Brother Ziqian, everyone Xiao has also been used by King Ning, I hope you can understand!" Tang Bohu said sincerely.

"I understand!" Xu Jin said lightly, as a Qinglou woman, there is really no way to refuse the prince of Ning Wang in Nanchang, but understanding is understanding, but it does not mean that he will forgive, Xu Jin is not a virgin, and he can still be regarded as nothing if he is calculated.

What's more, Xiao Yuxue's nature is different from Tang Bohu's, Tang Bohu didn't know in advance, but Xiao Yuxue took the initiative to cooperate with Ning Wang Shizi to pit himself. If it is replaced by other young scholars with strong blood, they may fall for Xiao Yuxue's temptation, and then they will not only miss the college exam, but also have a discredited reputation.

Although Tang Bohu is in his forties, he is really lacking in emotional intelligence. At the beginning, his friend Wen Zhengming wrote a letter to persuade him to stop behaving frivolously, and should concentrate on the imperial examination, otherwise he would achieve nothing in the future. Tang Bohu replied on the spot, which roughly meant: Lao Tzu is like this, whether you like to associate with me or not.

Because of this letter, Wen Zhengming broke off relations with Tang Bohu for many years. It can be seen that Tang Bohu's EQ is indeed very low, and it is not for nothing that he has become like this, at this time, listening to Xu Jin say that he understood, he thought that Xu Jin had really forgiven Xiao Yuxue, and said with a smile: "This son is really not mistaken, Ziqian is indeed a broad-minded person." It's a pity that everyone Xiao has already left Nanchang by boat, if there is a chance in the future, let's enjoy the wine again, wouldn't it be beautiful! ”

It is said that since the first day of the hospital examination, the news that Xu Jin was caught by Prince Ning and brought to the palace broke out, and some scholars deliberately went to the east of the city to scold Xiao Yuxue for being shameless. Xiao Yuxue was shocked and angry, worried that staying in Nanchang would cause a fire, so she packed up and left the next day.

Xu Jin was very speechless at this Tang genius, suddenly rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ziwei, do you want to leave Nanchang?" ”

Tang Bohu was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "This son doesn't understand what Brother Ziqian means!" ”

"You don't care what I mean, just ask if you want to leave Nanchang and get rid of Ning Wangfu!"

Tang Bohu's face changed slightly, he naturally wanted to leave Nanchang, he was fooled into coming to Ning Wangfu as a staff member, and then gradually found that Ning Wang actually had the intention of rebellion, and he was not scared on the spot, although he was frustrated in the field, and the poems he wrote were also full of complaints, but he was just venting his dissatisfaction with reality, but he didn't have the heart to rebel, and he didn't have the courage to know that rebellion was a big crime for the nine clans.

So Tang Bohu had long wanted to leave King Ning's mansion, but how could King Ning let him go easily, because of this, Tang Bohu pretended to be crazy and stupid during this time, just to let King Ning take the initiative to drive him away.

Tang Bohu glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Brother Ziqian...... Do you have a good idea? ”

Xu Jin said it so bluntly, Tang Bohu was naturally embarrassed to pretend to be stunned again.

Xu Jin smiled "evilly", leaned into Tang Bohu's ear and whispered a few words, the latter's face suddenly turned red, and he said continuously: "No, no, this is too insulting!" ”

Xu Jin said disapprehantly: "Brother Ziwei at the gate of the city, and he has done everything to urinate on the Ganjiang River in front of the Tengwang Pavilion, so why do you care about doing one more out-of-the-ordinary thing?" ”

"How can that be mixed up...... Alas, I'll think about it again! ”

Xu Jin smiled and said, "That brother Wei thought about it carefully!" After saying that, he turned around and walked to the classmates across the street.

Fei Maozhong said strangely: "Ziqian, what did you say to Tang Ziwei?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Let's talk a few words, let's go, let's go in!" ”

Everyone entered the Taibai Building, and found that the first and second floors were full, and only the third floor still had seats, so they could only go to the third floor to set up two tables, and more than 20 people could barely sit down after squeezing in.

Not long after Xu Jin and other Guangxin Mansion candidates sat down, a group of candidates came to the third floor, and they happened to be a group of candidates from Nanchang Mansion, most of whom they had seen on the Tengwang Pavilion that day.

The candidates in Nanchang Mansion were also stunned when they saw Xu Jin and others, and Li Zhe, the head of Yuzhang Academy, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and saluted: "Congratulations to Brother Xu for winning the first case of the college examination, and winning the first case of the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination!" ”

Xu Jin stood up and bowed and thanked him, and the other scholars in Nanchang Mansion all stepped forward to congratulate him when they saw this, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

As a result, the scholars of the two prefectures soon mingled, toasting each other and discussing poetry and wine, which was very lively.

During the banquet, Yuan Cheng came to Xu Jin with a wine glass, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Case Chief Xu, I will give you a glass below!" ”

Yuan Cheng ranked at the bottom of the sub-list in the first game, thinking that there was no hope of passing the college examination, but in the end, the list actually entered the top 100, successfully passed the college examination, and won the fame of Xiucai, which naturally made Yuan Cheng overjoyed.

Xu Jin guessed that the reason why Yuan Cheng turned over was probably related to what he mentioned to Sun Sui that night, so he took a glass of wine and drank a glass with Yuan Cheng, and said with a smile: "Tongxi!" ”

Yuan Cheng was obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "The first poem of Yuan's case is unique, and the boy who tried to win the little three yuan is even more unprecedented, shouldn't he talk about it at this moment?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, how can there be no good poetry with good wine, don't be polite to the head of the Xu case, continue to have a song "Linjiang Immortal" to hit us!"

"Haha, yes, we can afford it!"

A group of candidates in Nanchang Mansion immediately followed suit, it seems that they were defeated by Xu Jin in the Tengwang Pavilion that day, and they are still a little unconvinced!

Fei Maozhong said with a smile: "Ziqian, don't let them look down on you!" ”

The classmates here in Guangxin Mansion also pondered, Xu Jin had no choice but to stand up and said with a smile: "It's okay, but everyone here can't run away, each person has a song, and they will throw bricks and lead jade!" ”

"Xu Sanyuan wait a minute, Xiao Er, pen and ink waiting, all the poems of everyone here today will be recorded, and I will fund the printing of the poems, how about a copy of each?" A local candidate from Nanchang Mansion with deep pockets said loudly.

Everyone immediately applauded in unison, this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself, not to mention that you don't have to spend your own money.

Soon, the shopkeeper took the pen and ink upstairs, and Wang Dacan volunteered to be a transcriptionist.

"Case Chief Xu can start!" Someone shouted.

Xu Jin smiled and said loudly: "Li Du's poems have been passed down through the ages, and they are no longer fresh. There are talents from all generations, and they have led the way for hundreds of years. ”

As soon as this poem came out, it was applauded by all sides.
