"Ah?" Xi Shu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "But General Jing asked the servants to pay the money on your behalf."

"Of course you should pay the money, I just want you to give me the money bag." While talking, Xiao Ji Ning took out a small money bag from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Xi Shudao, "You can use the money bag when you pay later." Here's the money to pay."

"Oh good." After Xi Shu got it, General Jing's money pouch flew into Xiao Jining's hand just like that.

On the way, Xi Shu quietly opened Xiao Jining's purse and took a look. There were a lot of broken silver and whole silver ingots in it. The total amount of money was less than that of General Jing's purse, but it was quite a lot. If Xiao Jining hadn't To buy jade jewelry, or antique calligraphy and paintings, so much money is enough for Xiao Jining to spend two meals, so why change money bags?

Xi Shu couldn't understand it.

He deeply felt that the thoughts of these big men were beyond his ability to guess.

Xiao Jining didn't go anywhere else after leaving the palace, but went straight to Yipinlou.

He knows that the largest number of people in the capital is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and this is the place where people can listen to books while doing business.

But Xiao Jining came here today is really not out of business. There are indeed many candidates who have a place in the palace examination gathered here at the Yipin Building. First of all, this is the largest restaurant in the whole capital. Light will come here for a walk, let alone others?Secondly, there is another reason, that is, Xiao Jining thinks that the new storyteller Feng Yusheng is a talent, if possible, he really wants to recruit such a talent under his command.

However, Xiao Jining had just arrived at Yipin Building today, and he heard that Feng Yusheng would not be giving lectures for the time being, because the palace examination was approaching, and he was willing to give up the opportunity to show his talents to the current candidates.Feng Yusheng only comes to Yipin Building occasionally these days, not to give lectures, but to have a meal or to watch the competition of calligraphy, poetry, painting and calligraphy of the current candidates. Today Xiao Jining came over and saw that he was also a current candidate competition meeting.

The topic of today's competition is: words.

Xiao Jining's competition hadn't started yet, but the first-grade building was crowded with many people, not to mention the private room, even the seats in the hall had been reserved, even if Xiao Jining was rich, he couldn't find a place to stay place to sit.

Just when Xiao Jining and Xi Shu were being pushed back and forth, there was another commotion at the entrance of the first-class building, and everyone squeezed each other to make way for Xiao Jining, who was pushed to the corridor. Stand taller.

He looked towards the commotion at the door, and immediately saw Jing Yuan's face that he could see day and night.

Jing Yuan also seemed to have a feeling, and when he raised his eyes, he met Xiao Jining's eyes, but Jing Yuan only looked at Xiao Jining for a moment, then turned his eyes away, and looked at the six sons of the first-class building. The six sons were familiar with Jing Yuan. When Yuan came over, he immediately greeted him, and said respectfully, "Master Jing, why are you free today?"

"Maybe it's been a long time." Jing Yuan pulled the corner of his lower lip, "What day is it today? It seems that there are many more people than before."

The six sons hurriedly answered Jing Yuan's question and said, "Isn't it coming to the imperial examination soon? Most of the candidates who entered Beijing have come today, and they are going to compare their characters later."

Jing Yuan nodded, and said, "Comparing characters? This is really strange, I want to see it."

"Then you still sit in the No. [-] private room? No one is in your private room except you." The six sons were full of respect in front of Jing Yuan, just like people in the palace treated Xiao Jining.

Jing Yuan scoffed, "Yes, that's it."

With a few words, Jing Yuan got the seat on the first-grade floor that Xiao Jining could never get now. He watched Jing Yuan walk past him "swaggeringly" from the side of the stairs, and went straight to the second floor. Uncle sat comfortably Drinking tea and watching a play in the private room.

Xi Shu didn't dare to fight with this god, not to mention that Xiao Jining had told him before leaving the palace not to speak unless necessary - the voices of eunuchs and ordinary men are still a little different, and a knowledgeable person can hear a word.

And the man who can follow the eunuch by his side is either a king or an emperor, so Xiao Jining's identity cannot be hidden, so Xi Shu pretended to be dumb and stood beside Xiao Jining to protect him from being pushed down.

Xiao Jining was silent for a while, and said with emotion: "I'm so envious, it's nice to be rich and powerful."

Hearing Xiao Jining's words, Xi Shu almost couldn't help asking Xiao Jining: Shouldn't you be the richest and most powerful person in Da Xiao?

But Xi Shu didn't make a sound, another man beside them who was also pushed to the foot of the building heard Xiao Jining's emotion, laughed and said: "It's good to be rich and powerful, but if it's based on contempt for imperial power Come on, that would be bad."

This person... is he saying that Jing Yuan is too rebellious and doesn't take the emperor seriously?

To be honest, Xiao Jining has never met a person who dared to speak ill of Jingyuan or the Jing family in the whole capital, so as soon as that person finished speaking, Xiao Jining couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

Turning his head to look around, Xiao Jining found that the man who spoke just now was tall, thin and tall, with delicate features and fair skin, and he was wearing a shirt with a blue border and a white background. Most of the people who can wear such clothes are students. So this person is a candidate for the palace examination this year?

The man noticed the way Xiao Jining was looking at him, and blushed suddenly for some reason, then lowered his head and said to Xiao Jining: "I'm sorry, I just said nothing, did you bother the young master?"

"No, you didn't bother me." Xiao Jining is very interested in this person now, "But do you know the identity of the person you and I were talking about just now?"

The man in the shirt glanced at Xiao Jining, nodded and said: "I know, he is Jingyuan, Young General of the Jing family."

It turned out that he knew Jing Yuan's identity. Hearing what the man in the shirt said, Xiao Jining was even more thankful that he did not go out of the palace with Jing Yuan. Even this little-known student knew Jing Yuan's identity. Jing Yuan, who despises the imperial power, will definitely not be so arrogant towards him. The only person in the capital who can see Jing Yuan bows his head. If he comes out with Jing Yuan, how can he hide his identity?

But now Xiao Jining was more concerned about something, he asked the man in the shirt curiously: "Then this brother, do you know that since he is his identity, you still dare to say that about him, are you afraid that he will get revenge on you if he finds out?"

The man in the shirt shook his head and said, "Young General Jing is not such a petty person."

No, little brother, Major General Jing is very mean.

But he definitely couldn't say these words in front of the man in the shirt. Hearing this, Xiao Jining had more doubts in his stomach. Did the man in the shirt want to scold Jing Yuan, or did he want to praise him?

Perhaps seeing the doubt in Xiao Jining's eyes, the man in the shirt was slightly blushed again, pursed his lips and said: "Young General Jing once guarded the border for seven years, and he is one of the people I admire most. It's just that people are not perfect, and Major General Jing also has some bad things to do, and the person I'm referring to just now is not just Major General Jing."

Wow, Xiao Jining heard the explanation of the man in the shirt, and immediately understood that this person scolded people in the capital who did not respect him as the emperor. As a soldier who admires the frontier and protects the country, this is patriotism.

Xiao Jining felt that he had to get acquainted with such a loyal and patriotic talent.

"Well said!" So Xiao Jining immediately praised the man in the shirt, "I thought so too, but I didn't dare to say it. Nowadays, there are not many people who dare to say it like you, young master."

"Sigh." The man in the shirt shook his head with a wry smile when he heard the words, "I don't dare to say that."

"I think you are very generous." Seeing that many students in the hall have already started to write with splashed ink on paper, but the man in the shirt is still huddled with him on the stairs, without any movement, Xiao Jining asked him, "Hey, this young man , I see that you are dressed, you should be one of the candidates in this year's palace examination, so why don't you compete with them?"

The man in the shirt replied to Xiao Jining: "I am indeed a candidate for this year's palace examination, but I just came to see the excitement, so let's forget about participating in the competition. What's the use if you have a good handwriting but can't be a human being?"

Xiao Jining also planned to select a few key observations from the people who wrote well at the bottom. Hearing this, he couldn't help asking: "Don't you speak like the person?"

"Not exactly. One's temperament can only be determined after years of accumulation and careful observation." The man in the shirt said, and he also looked at Xiao Jining after speaking, "Young master, are you also here to see the excitement?"

Xiao Jining nodded: "Yes."

The man in the shirt probably felt that he and Xiao Jining had a good chat, so he also took the initiative to talk to him: "I see that your clothes are expensive and exquisite, and you must have a wealthy family. Can't you find a seat?"

Xiao Jining sighed: "There is money, but no power."

Xi Shu: "..."

Hearing the words, the man in the shirt had a clear expression, nodded with Xiao Jining, and sighed in the same way: "Oh, it seems that you and I are both in the same difficulty."

But the man just finished sighing, cheered up again, respectfully bowed to Xiao Jining and said: "But if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have met you. I have talked with you for a long time, but I still don't know your name." .My surname is Wen and my first name is Yu under Xie Ji’s sect. How dare I ask you his name?”

Xie Ji is the real name of Xie Xiang, which means to benefit the world.

Xiao Jining didn't expect that when he came out and walked around, he would bump into Prime Minister Xie's disciple, and subconsciously asked the man in the shirt, "Are you Prime Minister Xie's student?"
