Xu Jin and the scholars of Guangxin Mansion finished drinking at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and after coming out of the restaurant, they went back to the Gaosheng Inn where they stayed with the Fei brothers.

It is said that Jiangxi Province has thirteen prefectures under its jurisdiction, and there are more than 1,000 candidates who come to participate in the academy examination, plus the accompanying scholars and servants, and it is conservatively estimated that there are 2,000 people, so the inns near the Admiral College are full, and the price of the guest rooms has more than doubled than usual, and the poor scholars who have little money in their pockets can only live in distant inns.

Although the Fei brothers were not short of money in their pockets, they only arrived in Nanchang in late July, so they did not grab a place to live near the examination room, and could only live in the Gaosheng Inn, which was far away from the Admiral Academy.

Xu Jin and the Fei brothers arrived at the Gaosheng Inn, and Erniu and Dabao had already booked a room. Xu Jin originally told Erniu to book three rooms, but there were only two rooms left in the Gaosheng Inn, so he could only wronged Xie Erjian and Erniu to share a room.

Xu Jin sat on a small fishing boat for three days, and was arrested to participate in the Fujiwang Pavilion Cultural Meeting when he just went ashore, and he was tired and sleepy at the moment, so after entering the inn, he immediately asked the store to bring a bath bucket to take a comfortable bath, and then went to bed to make up for sleep, and slept until it was dark, and someone knocked on the door to wake up.

Xu Jin opened the door sleepily and found that it was Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong, two brothers, so he let the two into the house.

Xie Erjian and Er Niu lived in the next room, Xu Jin originally planned to ask Er Niu to get boiling water to make tea, but the snoring sound could be heard from inside through the wall, so he had to go to bring boiling water to make tea.

Fei Maoxian couldn't help frowning and said: "Ziqian, you should also buy a clever scholar to serve, Erniu can do some rough work, and he doesn't know how to wait for people at all." ”

Xu Jin smiled and didn't answer, and personally made a cup of tea for each of them. In fact, this time when she came to the Nanchang Examination Institute, Xie Xiaowan was also worried that Erniu's rude service would not be good for Xu Jin, and the original intention was to let Yahuan Xiaoyue wait with her, but Xu Jin refused, first, because it was inconvenient, and secondly, because she was afraid of making mistakes.

It is said that in the ten days that Xiaowan's mother's house lived, his father-in-law Xie Qing drank tonic wine for Xu Jin every day, and also took a medicated bath to regulate his body.

Therefore, in this case, if he takes Xiaoyue, the sweet little girl, to serve by his side, Xu Jin is afraid that he will not be able to control her.

The three of them drank tea and chatted for a while, and Fei Maoxian couldn't help but remind: "Ziqian, you shouldn't make that kind of remark at the banquet today, the great master has prejudices against you, and if it reaches his ears, I'm afraid it will be even more unfavorable to your college exam." ”

It is said that today after the Wenhui of the Tengwang Pavilion, the candidates of Guangxin Mansion celebrated with a banquet in the restaurant, and the scholars of the Ming Dynasty liked to discuss the government and current affairs.

It just so happened that some people at the banquet talked about the fact that a large number of guards in various localities had fled, resulting in a serious shortage of guards and low combat effectiveness. Xu Jin interjected a few words, which probably meant that in order to solve the shortage of soldiers and low combat effectiveness, it was necessary to reform drastically, change the hereditary system of guards to a recruitment system, and recruit soldiers by recruitment.

As a result, one stone stirred up a thousand waves and caused a fierce debate, with some people in favor and many more against. It has been nearly 150 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the system of Wei was also formulated by the founding emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and it has also been implemented for nearly 150 years.

Fei Hong had reminded Xu Jin not to be unconventional during the college examination before, and the Fei brothers naturally had been reminded by their father, so they also knew that the great master Xu Kui was old-fashioned.

Therefore, Fei Maoxian was worried that Xu Jin's subversive and innovative remarks before the exam would cause the dissatisfaction of the great master Xu Kui, so he reminded him at this time.

Xu Jin smiled and knew: "It's okay, anyway, the hospital test is a vague name system, although Lord Xu is a little conservative, but he is upright, and he won't let go of me because of this." ”

Fei Maoxian thought about it, the exam is a vague system, and the last exam is not until the end of the exam to open the seal and announce the admission list, if Xu Jin enters the admission list, even if Xu Kui is dissatisfied, he should not erase Xu Jin at that time.

The three chatted for a while, and then the Fei brothers said goodbye and returned to the room, and before leaving, Fei Maoxian handed over a sachet to Xu Jin, saying that before leaving for Nanchang, the third sister Fei Ruyi asked Xu Jin to give it to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin closed the door, took the small sachet embroidered with "Fish Leaping Dragon Gate" and smelled it, and couldn't help but have a touching and pretty face in his mind, and subconsciously opened the sachet, and sure enough, he found a small note inside, on which four words were written beautifully: Chaochao and Twilight!

If the two love for a long time, how can they be in the morning and twilight?

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, how can a person be ruthless, not to mention a beauty like Fei Ruyi who is affectionately chasing after him, I'm afraid no man can not be moved!

……

Xiuchun Lou is a famous green building in the Qinhuai River area, this time Xiuchun Lou's popular flower boy Xiao Yuxue toured along the river to Nanchang City by flower boat, rented a certain courtyard in the east of the city, Xiao and all the entourage lived in the courtyard.

At this time, there was a fierce quarrel in the room of Oiran Xiao Yuxue, and then Oiran successor Wang Cuiqiao ran out crying, and there were five finger prints on the originally beautiful face, which was obviously slapped in the face.

"Ai Yo, how can this be reasonable, why did you make a little face like this!"

The old bustard of Xiuchunlou, who hurriedly came to persuade him, was shocked and angry when he saw this, stopped Wang Cuiqiao, who was hiding his face and crying, and took a closer look, and saw that it was only a finger mark, not a scratch, and there should be no scar after the swelling subsided, so he put his mind at ease, ran into Xiao Yuxue's room angrily, and asked coldly: "Who beat Cuiqiao's face like that?" ”

Xiao Yuxue was sitting in front of the dresser under the service of the maidservant and drew her eyebrows, and said lightly: "Mother Jin, I beat the person, what's wrong?" ”

Mother Jin's charming face couldn't help but darken, and she asked, "Yuxue, why did you hit her?" ”

Wang Cuiqiao is the successor of Xiuchun Lou's Oiran, and Mother Jin has always been cared for as a treasure, plus Wang Cuiqiao's performance in the Fujiwang Pavilion today is eye-catching, and he also asked Xu Jin, the head of Guangxin Mansion, to draw a picture of a beauty in public.

Mother Jin was overjoyed and was thinking about how to use this incident to package Wang Cuiqiao and quickly increase her fame, so that she could create a new cash cow for Xiuchunlou, but Xiao Yuxue just made a mess at this time and swollen Wang Cuiqiao's face, although it was not disfigured, but she would definitely not be able to participate in the performance in the next few days, so Mother Jin was quite annoyed.

Xiao Yuxue stood up and turned to face Mother Jin, held the pair of peaks and peaks under the bandeau towering into the sky, and said lightly: "Mother Jin, I am the top brand of Xiuchun Building, what is the identity of Wang Cuiqiao's yellow-haired girl, I just accidentally tore her portrait, she actually came to me and asked me relentlessly, can't I slap her!" ”

Mother Jin's face was slightly gloomy, although she was the proprietress in front of Xiuchun Building, she was actually just a person in charge, and she had to pay three points of respect to Xiao Yuxue, a popular top brand, so she was questioned by Xiao Yuxue-for-tat, and her momentum was suddenly weak, and she said coldly: "Where are you not good, you want to slap your face, do you want to be angry with your mother?" ”

Xiao Yuxue didn't dare to go too far, seeing that Mother Jin's tone was soft, she came over and slapped her shoulder for the latter, admitting her mistake: "Mother Jin, don't be angry, my daughter is just angry for a while, and my daughter will go to see Sister Cuiqiao and apologize to her in person, okay?" ”

Mother Jin angrily said: "No need, don't fight again when the time comes, but Yuxue, I have to remind you, Cui Qiao is the signboard of our Xiuchun Mansion in the future, you can just think about it, if you dare to spoil her face, Steward Xue will not overtake you!" ”

A trace of fear flashed in Xiao Yuxue's eyes, and she nodded: "Mother Jin, how dare my daughter!" ”

After Jin's mother warned Xiao Yuxue, she snorted coldly and left the room, although she was annoyed in her heart, she couldn't do anything with Xiao Yuxue, after all, Xiao Yuxue is now a pillar, and Wang Cuiqiao's face can't see anyone right now, and the next few performances can only be supported by Xiao Yuxue.

Seeing that Mother Jin was gone, Xiao Yuxue pursed her lips and sneered silently: "Phew, the old witch who fights people!" ”

Today, Wang Cuiqiao stole the limelight on the Tengwang Pavilion, Xiao Yuxue was extremely unhappy, and she also had a strong sense of crisis, so tonight she used the excuse that Xu Jin painted the pretty portrait of Wang Cuiqiao to admire, and then "accidentally" tore it.

After all, Wang Cuiqiao is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, how to play with her heart is Xiao Yuxue's opponent, and she ran to question dissatisfiedly, but she was slapped by Xiao Yuxue, half of her face was slightly swollen, and the performance in the next few days was naturally ruined.
