Chapter 155: Xianrui
After the episode of Tang Bohu's scene, the carnival poems on the third floor of the Taibai Restaurant will continue, and it will continue until three o'clock in the afternoon, with a total of more than 200 poems, among which there is no shortage of excellent works, after all, most of the people present are handsome people who have passed the hospital examination, at least they are children.
More than 200 poems will be compiled into a poetry album and handed over to the wealthy Nanchang local candidate for engraving, and a copy will be given to each of the candidates present.
After settling the bill, the drunken scholars helped each other downstairs and left, leaving only a table of disastrous cups and plates.
Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong also drank a lot, and at this time, their faces were flushed and their steps were floating, and they were being supported by Dabao and Mingyan. After all, Xu Jin was an old fritter who had been up and down in the business sea for many years, and he was comfortable dealing with this kind of "wine game", so he was not drunk, and he was still clear and steady at the moment.
Senior brother Wei Yang was dressed in a jade-colored shirt representing Xiucai, with a handsome appearance and a warm temperament like jade, and asked with a smile: "Ziqian, we plan to leave for Shangrao together in three days, can you go with us?" ”
Xu Jin shook his head and said euphemistically: "Neiko is still at her mother's house in Yugan County, and I will take a detour to Yugan County to pick her up on the return trip, I'm afraid I won't be able to go with you classmates." ”
Wei Yang said regretfully: "I see, that Ziqian was careful all the way. ”
Xu Jin naturally understood what Senior Brother meant, he had a grudge against Ning Wangfu, and Senior Brother let himself go with his classmates, just considering safety factors, after all, the more people, the safer.
"Senior Brother Xie reminds me, I'll pay attention!" Xu Jin nodded.
As the saying goes: quality wins the text, and the quality wins the history. Polite, then gentlemanly. Senior brother Wei Yang is indeed a gentleman with a polite temperament, and the word "Yuan Zheng" is quite appropriate, so although Xu Jin's fame has long overshadowed Wei Yang, he still respects this senior brother from the bottom of his heart.
Wei Yang said goodbye to Xu Jin, left with his classmates from Xinjiang Academy, and returned to the hotel where he stayed.
It is worth mentioning here that Wei Yang and Fei Maozhong have both passed the selection of the Grand Master and obtained the qualification to participate in next year's township examination, while Xu Jin, as the head of this case examination, has the qualification to pass through next year's township examination, but there is no need to make another selection, as for Fei Maoxian, he needs to participate in next year's pre-examination selection in order to obtain the qualification to participate in the township examination.
In addition, among the scholars from Xinjiang Academy who came to participate in the college examination this time, only Xu Jin, Fei Maoxian, and Jiang Yun passed and successfully won the fame of Xiucai, and the remaining dozen or so people all fell off the list, which shows the fierce and cruel competition.
"Xu Xiaoyou stays!"
Xu Jin and the two brothers of the Fei family were about to leave, when they saw three Taoist priests coming out of the restaurant, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Li Shishi smiled and said, "Xu Xiaoyou, do you still remember the old man?" ”
Xu Jin naturally recognized this, he was one of the judges in the Tengwang Pavilion that day, and he was fair, so he bowed and said, "Xu Jin has seen Li Lao!" ”
Li Shishi stroked his long flowing beard and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Xu Xiaoyou for taking off the head of the hospital examination case, even the three yuan of the middle and middle schools!" ”
"It's just a fluke!" Xu Jin hurriedly said modestly, and at the same time frowned secretly, because the strange eyes of the two Taoist priests next to Li Shishi made Xu Jin a little inexplicable.
"Xu Xiaoyou is modest, how can it be a fluke to pick up three cases in a row, let me introduce Xu Xiaoyou, this is Li Natural Dao Chief, Dao No. Lingxuzi. This Li Rifang is the head of the Tao, and the Taoist number is Chunyuanzi. Li Shishi introduced with a smile.
Xu Jin arched his hand quietly: "Xu Jin has seen two Dao Masters!" ”
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Li Tiantian and Li Rifang nodded indifferently, and at the same time shouted loudly, looking like a master outside the world.
Xu Jin was not interested in these so-called Taoist chiefs, it was nothing more than relying on eloquence to deceive the rivers and lakes, so he arched his hand to Li Shishi and said: "Elder Li, the two Taoist chiefs, the companions below are drunk, so they will leave first." ”
Li Shishi smiled and nodded, and Xu Jin motioned for Dabao and Mingyan to help the Fei brothers leave.
Li Shishi looked at Xu Jin's back, brushed his beard and smiled: "Two Taoist leaders, how is the face of this son?" ”
Li naturally nodded and said: "As Ruoxu Daoist said, this son's face is indeed strange, he should have died young, but now it is unspeakably expensive, it is really strange!" ”
The old god Li Rifang was holding his beard on the ground: "Poor Dao just opened his eyes secretly, and looked at it with the technique of looking at qi, and found that this son has an auspicious qi lingering on the top of his head, and he is indeed a person who is blessed with a crown." ”
Li naturally rolled his eyes secretly, and said in his heart: "Open a fart eye, you can pretend better than Lao Tzu, you kid has a few catties and taels Lao Tzu is not clear!" ”
……
"Ouch, a few sons are finally back, but it's not in vain that they waited for two hours!"
As soon as Xu Jin and the others returned to the governor's yamen, they saw the shopkeeper of the Gaosheng Inn greeted him with a smile.
Jia Ding Da Baoqi said: "Shopkeeper Gao, what are you doing here waiting for our son?" The money for the house has been settled. ”
The shopkeeper Gao smiled and said: "Brother Dabao, what are you talking about, the servants of the Yamen didn't know that the two Xiucai dukes had moved away, so they sent these clothes to the small shop, and the contemptible people specially sent clothes to the two Xiucai dukes." ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he presented two sets of jade-colored shirts, which were the clothes officially issued to the new talents.
Erniu took it happily and hummed: "Uncle Ten, you will be a talent in the future, and my aunt will be very happy if she knows." ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but smile softly when he heard this, if Xiao Wan's girl saw this suit, she was afraid that she would be so happy that she would bend her eyes into a crescent moon again.
It is said that since coming to the Ming Dynasty, it is the first time that Xu Jin has been separated from Xiaowan's girl for such a long time, and a feeling of longing can't help but rise from the bottom of his heart.
Xu Jin smiled and said: "Trouble the shopkeeper Gao, Erniu, give the shopkeeper Gao a reward of five coins of silver!" ”
"Hehe, Xu Gongzi is polite, just raise your hands...... Congratulations to Mr. Xu and Mr. Fei, I wish the two sons a high school next year. Welcome a few sons to continue to stay in this inn next year, and give a few sons a 50% discount! ”
The shopkeeper Gao took the five coins of silver given by Erniu and left happily, and the five coins of silver were five hundred coins. It is said that the two copper coins that the high shopkeeper gave to Xicha were only less than 200 yuan, and now he not only recouped his capital, but also made more than double the income, and he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.
……
Ningwangfu Xiyun is the place where Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, raised his guests, and officials such as Tang Bohu and other palace staff, Li Tiantian, Li Rifang and other Jianghu warlocks also lived here.
In addition, King Ning also raised a lot of chickens, dogs, and thieves in Xiwan, and there were many outlaws, so the Xiyun in King Ning's Mansion can be said to be a mixture of dragons and snakes.
In the evening, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, came to Xiyun and met with Li Rifang and Li Tiantian, two Taoist leaders, in Zhongyi Hall.
"This king heard that the two Taoist leaders want to see this king, what is the matter?" Ning Wang Zhu Chen asked with a pleasant face.
For these two capable "immortal chiefs", Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao is still quite courteous.
Li Tiantian and Li Rifang glanced at each other, the former raised the dust lightly, and smiled: "We are here to offer Rui to the prince!" ”
King Ning's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "The two immortal elders have found the location of the dragon vein?" ”
It is said that Zhu Chenhao has always been not very satisfied with the feng shui of the ancestral tomb, and is bent on finding a feng shui treasure cave with true dragon luck, and this task naturally falls on the heads of the two "immortal chiefs" of Li Tiantian and Li Rifang.
Li naturally said unhurriedly: "Lord Wang, as the so-called three years to find the dragon, ten years to point the acupoint, how can the true dragon's lair be easy to explore." ”
Zhu Chenhao suddenly sighed a little disappointed, and asked, "What did the two Dao Masters just say about Xianrui?" ”
Li Rifang didn't want to be in the limelight by Li Nature, so he preemptively said: "Lord Wang, we met a strange person on the Taibai Building today. ”
Zhu Chenhao was extremely interested in these mysterious things, and he was convinced of them, and suddenly moved: "There is such a thing? ”
Li naturally hurriedly said: "That's true, and this son's face is very peculiar, it was originally the appearance of Fu Bo's early death, but now it has become unspeakably expensive, the prince already has the appearance of an emperor, if he is assisted by this person, it will be like a tiger with wings!" ”
Zhu Chenhao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "Where is this strange person, this king will come to visit in person!" ”
Li Rifang smiled and said: "That's not a matter of labor, this person is just a new talent, and the prince can summon him with an order." ”
Zhu Chenhao was surprised: "Oh, the new talent? ”
Li naturally nodded and said: "That's right, this person is the head of this hospital trial, and Xu Jin, a Confucian student in Shangrao County, is also!" ”
"It's him!" Zhu Chenhao's face suddenly sank.
