imperial decree arrives

Chapter 702 Liancheng
"Sister Qiurong!"

But when his back felt cold, Xiao Xie instantly returned to normal. It turned out that Qiu Rong had quietly stood behind Xiao Xie, looking at Xiao Xie coldly.

"Didn't he leave last night?"

Qiu Rong asked.

Xiao Xie shook his head and replied: "I left, but I don't know why I came back later. I saw him lying at the door early in the morning."

"Get rid of him!"

Xiao Xie looked reluctant: "Oh!"

Just when he was about to cast the spell, he remembered that it was already daytime, and the scholar was still at the door and had not entered the other garden, so Xiao Xie said: "Sister Qiurong, I think this scholar is quite pitiful, wait until he eats this steamed bun , it’s not too late to drive him away.”

Qiu Rong didn't speak, but just disappeared.Xiao Xie, who was familiar with Qiu Rong, knew that the other party agreed to his request.So she continued to turn her head, watching with interest the scholar's expression of hesitation while holding a steamed bun. This picture of wanting to eat but not daring to eat made her a little amused.

In the end, Ning Caichen couldn't hold back his sobs and ate the steamed buns. After eating, Ning Caichen bowed to Bieyuan, which surprised Xiaoxie. Only then did Xiao Xie heave a sigh of relief.

After paying homage, Ning Caichen was ready to rush to the outer city to earn some money first. There was still a lot of time before the scientific examination. It would be uncomfortable if he was penniless for such a long time.

The imperial examination attracted a large number of scholars, which brought a lot of people to the merchants. Some merchants directly set up a dragon gate array in front of the restaurant, some asked to be able to stay in the couplets, some asked to leave their names and taboos to stay, and some directly hosted banquets inside the restaurant. Famous talents... All kinds of means are used, without exception, they are all spreading the net, hoping to get a rich person out of their restaurant.

Ning Caichen looked in disbelief at the capital city that had undergone earth-shaking changes overnight. When he learned that the Holy One had prepared a dormitory for poor scholars, Ning Caichen was a little choked up, but was speechless.

Free accommodation and meals.

This was something Ning Caichen did not expect. There were already many poor scholars scrambling for the first place, fearing that they would not be able to grab the position.

Of course, there were some proud students who were unwilling to go, and Ning Caichen was not among them.

So Ning Caichen chose to go decisively, without any hesitation.

It just so happens that we can still catch up with the so-called dine-in, which is said to be a crowd of people eating together.The taste will not be mentioned for now, but the food can be eaten casually. This alone is enough for Ning Caichen to put aside all distracting thoughts.

Honghu Pavilion.

"If you don't go through a bit of cold, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms"!
Ning Caichen silently recited this couplet pasted on Honghu Pavilion, and the last trace of resistance to Honghu Pavilion dissipated in his heart.

"Brother, do you want to enter this Honghu Pavilion?"

There were so many scholars coming and going, before Ning Caichen entered, someone came up to say hello.

This person has a handsome complexion, and his behavior is quite free and easy.

"Exactly, brother too?"

Jun Lang scholar shook his head and said: "I am different from my brother. Although you and I are the same kind of people, I must go to high school on this trip. It is just a helpless move to go to Honghu Pavilion."

Ning Caichen: "...!"

This person is so arrogant!

Ning Caichen showed a shallow and polite smile, and then ignored him.

Jun Lang knew the scholar well, seeing that Ning Caichen was about to leave, he hurriedly followed.

"Brother, wait a minute, how about you and I going together?"

"When I saw Xiongtai, I knew that Xiongtai was not from the capital. It just so happened that I, Feng Sheng, was a well-known person in the capital. If Xiongtai is with me, we will never forget Xiongtai when we get rich."

People from the capital?

Ning Caichen stopped abruptly, looked at Feng Sheng, and said with a vigilant expression: "Thank you, but I have already fallen to this point, so I don't need to bother you. As for the wealth that you said, I can't climb it."

After hearing this, Feng Sheng laughed loudly: "Okay, brother Tai is absolutely right, it's me, Meng Lang."

When Ning Caichen saw the other party, he knew his mistake and corrected it, and he had a good impression of the other party.

Feng Sheng has a lively personality, and he got acquainted with Ning Caichen in a few moments, and brought Ning Caichen into Honghu Pavilion.

It is common practice for Feng Sheng to enter the Honghu Pavilion, and he is very skilled. Feng Sheng first took Ning Caichen to arrange the luggage. There are many scholars in the Honghu Pavilion, so there are special people to register, but everything is in order. It can be seen that the Honghu Pavilion The Lord is well prepared.Ning Caichen was placed in one of the dormitories not far from Feng Sheng. There were eight people in one dormitory. Inside the dormitory was a long table with eight chairs, which was convenient for scholars to read at night with a light on.

Ning Caichen was very satisfied with such an environment, food, drink and shelter had been clearly arranged.

After packing his luggage, Feng Sheng took Ning Caichen to the cafeteria for dinner, and Ning Caichen agreed without even thinking about it. After all, he is still hungry now.

……

Jinning group.

Although it is a group, it is not too much compared with ordinary cities.

There are two big families rooted in Jinning County, namely Duke Xiaolian and Duke Taishou. The two families are at the same level. Whenever the two owners meet, they will fight against each other, whether it is in the family property, in business, or in their daughter. Body, overtly and secretly must be divided into high and low, and the slaves of the two families will directly fight without saying a word when they meet.

Coincidentally, both of them have no sons in their families, and only one daughter under their knees.The daughter of Lord Xiaolian is named Liancheng, and she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting; the daughter of Lord Taishou is named Binniang, with a bold personality and mediocre martial arts.

This day is the day when the Huahua Temple was built in the new dynasty, and when the Huahua Temple replaced the Chenghuang Temple, according to local customs, the first stick of incense in the newly built temple must be offered by the most respected people in the area.

The result is that the two families started to compete because of the highest moral and high prestige. Mr. Xiaolian even brought people to the Huahua Temple and Miaozhu to tell about the good deeds he had done on weekdays, hoping that Miaozhu would give him the first incense stick.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as Duke Xiaolian arrived, Duke Taishou followed. Suddenly, the situation became arrogant and domineering.

When he heard Mr. Xiaolian speak so shamelessly and brazenly about the shitty things he did on weekdays, the prefect who claimed to be upright hurriedly corrected him loudly.Talking like this, it soon turned into a quarrel, and Miao Zhu was caught between the two in a dilemma.

"You two, this kind of flower temple is enshrined by the current sage. If you let the sage know that you two are acting like this, it is a big deal!"

Miao Zhu said so, even though he is Miao Zhu, he is not afraid in front of these two people.In the final analysis, these two people are just officials of the former court, and now they are just the new dynasty, and the Holy Majesty has not dealt with them.

The two also knew about the current situation, and when they heard Miao Zhu's words, both of them were silent, and then saluted in the temple, and after looking at each other, they snorted coldly.

"The temple wishes you to tell me, who is the person who put the first stick of incense here?"

Duke Xiaolian asked.
