Wu Wentao was fooled by Wu Xuan's fallacies for a long time, and went home dizzy.

Seeing his appearance, Wu Dacheng and his wife were a little worried.

Wu Wentao has always been the best kid among his peers since he was a child, but now he can't compare with Wu Xuan in two consecutive exams, and the gap is getting wider and wider.They were afraid that he would feel bad.

Sun Guihua asked cautiously, "Wen Tao, what do you want for dinner?"

"Ah? It's all right." Wu Wentao replied after recovering from the entanglement between fame and fortune and literati's character.

"Then, shall we eat dumplings today?" Sun Guihua suggested.

"Okay!" Wu Wentao replied.Forget it, don't think about things that you don't understand. Eating is the most important thing in life.He said: "Mom, let me make dumplings with you! Add dad!"

"Your father has rough hands and feet, how can he make dumplings!" Sun Guihua looked disgusted.

"How do you know if you don't try?" Wu Wentao dragged Wu Dacheng to the kitchen, "Father, let's chop the stuffing first."

"I can do this kind of hard work. Your hand is holding a pen." Wu Dacheng said.

The two of them ran away while talking and disappeared.

Sun Guihua followed quickly, and shouted: "Why are you running so fast, do you know where the meat and vegetables are placed?"

-

Early the next morning, Wu Wentao packed his things energetically and went back to the academy to continue his studies.

A month flies by.

Wu Wentao and the students from Zhiyuan Academy boarded the ox cart to Fucheng again.

Because Wu Xuan wanted to take Doudou with him, he did not travel with the students of the academy, but hired a carriage alone.

The horse-drawn carriage was much faster than the ox cart, and the two arrived in Fucheng at noon the next day and went straight to Fusheng Inn.

In April, the branch of the Fusheng Inn in Fucheng just opened, and there were no people there, only students like them lived there.But after only two months, the inn was already bustling with customers.

Wu Xuan went to the counter and said to the shopkeeper, "Is there any room left?"

The shopkeeper still remembered him, and said: "Guest officer, you are a student from our Dingshan County! Miss Jiang said that all students from our Dingshan County who come to take the imperial examination will stay in a room with a local name for free."

He showed Wu Xuan the location of the Dizizi room, "Look, there is not much difference between Dizizi and Tianzizi."

Wu Xuan looked at the very spacious Tianzihao room in the middle row facing south, then looked at the Dizihao next to it, and said decisively: "I want Tianzi No. [-] room." Then he threw down an ingot of silver.

"Okay!" The guest officer wanted to spend more money to live in a better room, and they would not refuse.The shopkeeper weighed the money in his hand, and said: "The court examination usually comes out in mid-July, and your silver is just enough to live until the case comes out. Such a coincidence, it must be a good omen! It indicates that you will definitely be a scholar! "

Wu Xuan: Obviously I calculated the price and gave the money, okay?

The shopkeeper ordered the waiter to lead Wu Xuan and the two to the guest room.

Xiaoer held the teapot and led the way graciously, and opened the door for Wu Xuan and the others, "Guest officer, what else do you need? Shall I bring your lunch to your room, or go to the hall on the first floor?"

Wu Xuan said: "We'll go down and eat the food by ourselves later. Bring us a bucket of hot water!"

"Okay!" Xiao Er put down the teapot and brought another bucket of hot water.

Wu Xuan and Doudou simply washed up and changed into another set of clothes.

Wu Xuan opened the window, and there was a long and thin river outside the window, and the riverside was full of weeping willows.In early summer, the dark green willow leaves look more verdant under the sunlight.

A breeze blew, and the willow branches swayed gently, and some slightly longer willow branches hung down into the river, and ripples were drawn as they shook.

Wu Xuan leaned against the window, talking to Doudou, "Wen Tao and the others should be able to come tonight, and then we can have a gathering together. Doudou, are you going?"

Doudou asked vigilantly: "Where are you going to gather?" On the way here just now, he saw a drunken courtyard not far from the next door.

Wu Xuan just leaned against the window to look at the scenery, and didn't understand Doudou's meaning, "Liao Ji also opened a branch in Fucheng. Although the craftsmanship is slightly inferior to that of the Dingshan main store, it is still very good."

Doudou felt relieved, "Oh, Liao Ji, let's go together."

Wu Xuan thought that Doudou wanted to eat Liaoji's food, turned around, rubbed his little head with a smile, and said, "I will definitely take you there tonight. Now let's go down and eat something casually."

-

It was past lunch time, and there were no diners on the first floor.Wu Xuan picked a place in the corner and simply ordered a few side dishes.

The two of them were eating when the waiters who were clearing the table suddenly ran out excitedly, shouting as they ran, "Miss Jiang is here!"

From the angle Wu Xuan and the others sat, they could just see the entrance of the inn.

I saw a luxurious and beautiful carriage stopped at the door, and then a little maid jumped out of the carriage. After she got down, she opened the curtain and said, "Miss Jiang, we're here."

Jiang Qiushi wore a long pink dress covered with a layer of tulle of the same color. She got off the carriage neatly without the help of the little maid.

Then, another hand lifted the curtain of the carriage, and got out of the carriage. It was a man in a long shirt with books.Moreover, it looks very beautiful.

The girls are no strangers to the strange man appearing in Jiang Qiushi's carriage.Several people enthusiastically stepped forward to welcome Jiang Qiushi and his party through the door.

Jiang Qiushi said: "I won't go in, I have to discuss a business later. This time I just want to send Mr. Liu over."

She told Xiaoer: "Open a Tianzihao room for Mr. Liu alone, and the meals will be served according to his preferences, so don't neglect in the slightest."

Xiao Er quickly responded.

Jiang Qiushi took out a purse from his sleeve, and said, "Young Master Liu, because of Qiu Shi, you were delayed in the scientific examination last year. I'm really sorry. With your talent and learning, you will definitely pass the examination."

Liu Siyuan took the purse and said in a low voice, "Thank you!"

Jiang Qiushi smiled, "You're welcome. Mr. Liu will win the top prize in the gold list in the future, just don't forget to come and marry me."

Liu Siyuan lowered his head and did not speak.

Jiang Qiushi smiled even more happily, and led the little maid back to the carriage.

Liu Siyuan was holding a bookcase in his arms, a bundle on his back, and a purse in his hand, and entered the gate of the inn.

Xiaoer doesn't know Liu Siyuan, but this is the person Miss Jiang specially asked him to take care of, so he naturally has to do his best, "Young Master Liu, do you need me to help you with your luggage?"

Liu Siyuan shook his head, "No need."

Xiaoer couldn't help, so he had to run a few steps upstairs and help Liu Siyuan open the door of Tianzi No. [-] room.

-

Wu Xuan withdrew his gaze and looked at Doudou: "Why do I think that person looks familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

Doudou snorted coldly, picked up a chopstick of sour beans, and stuffed them into Wu Xuan's mouth.

Wu Xuan ate it happily, and wanted to give Doudou a pinch.

Doudou turned his head away, "It's too sour." Wu Xuan had no choice but to put it in his mouth again.

Doudou said: "We have indeed met that young master. He bumped into you at the door of the Wuyan Pavilion Bookstore."

"Oh." After Doudou reminded, Wu Xuan also remembered.It was the first time they went to the bookstore to buy books. As soon as they arrived at the door, they met Zhai Le and Shao Zhipeng chasing someone.The man ran too fast and bumped into him all at once.

Wu Xuan said with a smile: "So it's him!" When Zhai Le's group arrives in the evening, there will be a good show to watch.

-

In the evening, the group from Zhiyuan Academy finally arrived at the inn.

Wu Xuan and Doudou went downstairs when they heard the noise.Wu Wentao was registering at the counter, and the group of them had booked all the rooms in the place.

Wu Xuan picked up Wu Wentao's luggage and said, "What room are you in?"

Wu Wentao said: "I'll pick after they finish picking." After he finished speaking, he bumped Wu Xuan's shoulder, motioned Wu Xuan to look in one direction, and said, "Everyone is studying in the same academy, so we can be regarded as classmates, so we came here together gone."

Wu Xuan looked puzzled.

Wu Wentao glanced at Doudou, leaned closer to Wu Xuan's ear and whispered, "The one over there is Yang Xiuzhu."

Yang Xiuzhu?Wu Xuan was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, and looked in the direction Wu Wentao signaled. Sure enough, there was a scholar at the end of the crowd, with his head down and he couldn't see clearly.

Maybe because he sensed that someone was looking at him, Yang Xiuzhu raised his head and glanced in this direction, just in time to meet Wu Xuan's eyes.He quickly lowered his head again, and moved to the side, hiding behind a classmate.

It seems that the psychological shadow Wu Xuan left on Yang Xiuzhu is really serious.

The group packed their luggage and clamored to go to Liaoji Restaurant without changing their clothes.A few people headed by Zhai Le even proposed to go to the Zuihong Courtyard, saying: "Just listen to the music and do nothing else."

Several other people objected loudly, denouncing them as degrading.

Amidst the quarrel, a person came down the stairs.When Zhai Le saw it, he couldn't care less about the drunken courtyard, and rushed up to stop him, "Liu Siyuan, why didn't I see you, so you came early by yourself!"

He looked at Liu Siyuan's clothes up and down, and said: "You are dressed so decently, you must have come with Jiang Qiushi! Hmph, if you get mixed up with brothel prostitutes, don't you want the face of a scholar!"

Liu Siyuan said: "Get out of the way!"

"If you're in a brothel, you'll be gentle, but if you're in a brothel, you'll put on a bad face. Sure enough, there's nothing good about good-looking people!" Zhai Le scolded.

This remark hit a wide range, and Wu Xuan was not happy about it. Didn't even his family, Doudou, scold him too, and he helped to say, "Judging people by their appearance is demeanor."

Zhai Le snorted coldly, he scolded Doudou together, he disliked all good-looking people.However, Liu Siyuan was the most unpleasant. They were feuds accumulated over the years.

"Liu Siyuan, does your mother know that you are hanging out with a brothel prostitute?" Zhai Le mocked.

Liu Siyuan stood still in front of him, and said: "I heard that brother Zhai's house has taken the No. 20 exam." His tone was flat but to the point.

One sentence directly blew up Zhai Le, and said angrily: "What are you so arrogant about! Liu Siyuan, let me tell you, don't think that you are so good after taking the test twice! You will definitely not be able to pass the test! "

"Last year, I gave up the court examination because of a brothel prostitute, hahaha, it really is retribution!" Zhai Le smiled very proudly, "This year's court examination must be the top case of Gu Jin. No matter how good you are, can you compare with Mr. Gu's son? Hahaha, your little Sanyuan is gone!"

Liu Siyuan said: "Young Master Gu has a brilliant literary talent, I know I'm not as good as it. But—" he looked at Zhai Le's smug face, "I'm better than you in the exam, I can still do it."
