On the second day, with the idea of ​​grasping the concept of reading since childhood, Chen Junming lifted Ning Ge'er from the bed early in the morning and Chen Juncong went to watch Chunwei release the list.

The release of the list is not as good as usual.Although Huaijing is extremely prosperous and there is a constant flow of people on the streets, it is especially so on the day when the list is released, it can be said that there is no flow.

If it was a person, Chen Juncong would definitely ride a horse for convenience, but Brother Ning was too young, so he took a horse-drawn carriage.

By the time the carriage squeezed out of the crowd, the imperial list had already been posted on the wall.Candidates who are looking forward to the title of the gold list, father-in-law who is waiting for the son-in-law who is on the list, and female relatives who want to see the demeanor of the husband, there are many people crowded around.

Naturally, Chen Juncong didn't want to be bored, and took his elder brother and Brother Ning out of the carriage and went to the teahouse opposite the imperial list.

He is a frequent visitor to this teahouse, and because Meng Ruanqing especially loves the dim sum that goes with tea, he also came here many times.

Seeing him, the servant led him up to the private room on the second floor with ease.

It was not the first time for Chen Junming to come back to the capital, but it was the first time he actually saw the grand scene of the announcement, and he couldn't help feeling shocked and envious, but it was only a momentary thought.Brother Ning was different, he was young, and when he was playful and curious, from the time he left the house to when he sat down, his dark eyes rolled around, almost fascinated by the bustling capital, and he no longer felt drowsy.

"coming."

Holding a cup of tea, Meng Ruanqing leaned against the window and stared boredly at the people downstairs who were watching the imperial list.Hearing footsteps behind him, he greeted without turning his head.

This sound startled Chen Junming.When he hadn't lifted the curtain and came in, it was so quiet that he thought there was no one there.

"There are too many people, so it's a bit late."

Chen Juncong was not surprised, yesterday evening he made an appointment with Meng Ruanqing at this teahouse.

He casually lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down, Chen Juncong said again: "This is my brother and nephew."

Meng Ruanqing was slightly startled, and looked away from the window to the person next to his friend.

At this time, Chen Junming had the opportunity to look at his brother, his friend.Wearing a square gauze scarf, with a clear and handsome face, a duck-egg green gown with fingers holding tea and a lazy look, he is a man with a reserved smile and an extraordinary momentum.

The other party's dazed expression disappeared so that people thought it was an illusion. Chen Junming saw Meng Ruanqing put the tea cup, got up and bowed his hands to salute.

"It was Zhongwei's elder brother. Ruan Qing's surname is Meng, and his style name is Yizhi."

His words and actions are generous and gentlemanly, and he immediately won Chen Junming's favor. Coupled with the addition of his younger brother and friend, Chen Junming also greeted him and gave his name.

After speaking, Brother Ning was greedy for the bustle outside and clamored to sit by the window.Chen Juncong scraped the bridge of his nose with his fingers, with a doting smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Ning Ge'er called 'Uncle', and this man will be given over to you."

A title, besides being used to calling it, is nothing to Geer Ning.Without thinking about it, he pulled Chen Juncong's sleeve and shouted in a waxy voice: "Good uncle, Ning'er wants to watch the fun."

Chen Junming watched from the side and scolded "little slicker", thinking to himself, why don't you see this little bastard with such a cute side?

The scene of uncle and nephew's kindness naturally fell into Meng Ruanqing's eyes. He was surprised that Chen Juncong would have such a childish behavior to coax the child, and he was slightly displeased by the pampering in the conversation, but he didn't know the specific reason.But this displeasure immediately dissipated without a trace because Chen Juncong moved and sat beside him.

Seeing Brother Ning staring at the cakes on the table again, Meng Ruanqing pushed the untouched cakes to Brother Ning, hesitated for a moment, and imitated Chen Juncong to scratch Ning Brother's nose.

"Eat."

The dry words were not as friendly and natural as my uncle's, but Ning Ge'er's eyes lit up, and he immediately took a piece of pastry, bit off the puff pastry on the outside, revealing the bean paste filling inside.

His cheeks were bulging like a little squirrel hiding food, and he was white and tender again. Meng Ruanqing naturally fell in love with him, and specially poured a glass of water and put it in it.

Chen Junming didn't take care of his "incompetent" son, and his mind was full of messy guesses.

It is definitely not an ordinary person who can have a close relationship with Liu Lang.Worst of all, Guan Mengruanqing's style of conversation and clothing is also a family situation that does not worry about food and clothing.As for Gao, he was a colleague who was an official in the same dynasty.

When the three of them met, they didn't feel alienated, and chatted for a while.

"It's spring now, and the most worth seeing is the spring scenery of Fufeng Tower. It stands on the top of Fufeng Mountain and is ten stories high. If you stand on the top floor, you can embrace the spring scenery of Huaijing."

Having been an official in Huaijing for three years, Meng Ruanqing didn't know the good places in Huaijing like the palm of his hand, but he knew nine out of ten.As for the spring scenery of Fufeng Tower, he and Chen Juncong happened to meet up to enjoy it last spring, and it was indeed lush and lush, refreshing.From time to time, there are Guozijian or poets' poetry gatherings upstairs in Fufeng Tower.

He spoke unhurriedly, and Chen Junming was very flattering and echoed a few words from time to time.Chen Juncong rested his head on the side in a leisurely manner, not knowing whether he was looking at Meng Ruanqing with a gentle expression, or Brother Ning who was leaning on the window sill and sticking his head out.

In short, the servant, sweating hotly from the crowd, saw this harmonious scene.

"Patriarch, Mr. He Lang has won."

Meng Ruanqing stopped talking, without much surprise, just asked: "Is it true?"

Chen Juncong also sat upright and looked over, and even Chen Junming also stared at the servant.

The servant bowed and said in an affirmative tone, "The villain can see clearly. The No. 30 of Mr. He is seven, and he is more than [-] ranks lower than Mr. Yang's."

He said "Lang Jun" one by one, they were all unfamiliar names, in the eyes of Chen Junming who came from other places, it was no different from playing charades, and he was confused.

Chen Juncong couldn't help laughing and said, "These two are better than each other."

Mingming's younger brother smiled like a spring breeze, and his tone was soft.For some reason, Chen Junming couldn't help shivering all over his body, and for a moment, he seemed to fall from the warm April into the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month.

Most of his attention was on the restructuring, and it involved a lot of secrets. Chen Juncong deliberately changed the subject and asked, "Can you see the name Song Yiqing on the list?"

"Song Yiqing?"

The servant's eyes were confused, and he searched for a long time from the memory of the list just now, before he vaguely responded, "It seems to have this name, but the ranking is very low, it should be more than a hundred people."

"More than a hundred?"

Meng Ruanqing couldn't believe it, and his voice raised a lot.These words were heard by the two failed candidates who happened to pass by outside the curtain, and they both sighed and shook their heads.

These years, none of their names can make the list, but there are still more than a hundred people who are dissatisfied.It's so infuriating that people compare to others!
