After the big fool gets married

While Zhai Le was angry, he was a little surprised.

Liu Siyuan has always pretended to be aloof and uncontested, no matter what others talk about him, he will only avoid and never quarrel with others.Why did you suddenly become sharp-tongued today?

Liu Siyuan waved Zhai Le's hand blocking the way, and walked out of the inn gate.

"Brother Zhai, don't look at it, shall we go for dinner?" one person urged.

Zhai Le came to his senses, "Go! Why don't you go? You must go! Let's go, let's go to Liao Ji!"

"Hey, brother Zhai, didn't you say to go to the Zuihongyuan?"

Zhai Le ignored him and strode out of the inn.

Although the branch of Liaoji Restaurant in Fucheng is not opposite to Fusheng Inn like Dingshan County, it is not far away.Only two shops away.

Wu Xuan and his party arrived a bit late, and the private room was already full.They had no choice but to find a place in the lobby on the first floor.

A group of sixteen people sat down at two tables. This was almost all the students from Zhiyuan Academy who came to take the county examination this year.

Zhai Le ordered two jars of autumn maple red, and proudly slapped them on the table: "Come, come, come, everyone, don't go home until you're drunk!"

Everyone ignored him.The day after tomorrow, I will take the college entrance examination, and I have to review the books again tomorrow, how can I drink alcohol?

Zhai Le poured a large bowl for himself with the jar in his arms, raised his head and said, "The test will be done in the day after tomorrow, why don't you people be so courageous?"

After finishing speaking, he was about to pour a bowl for Wu Wentao who was next to him. Wu Wentao put his hands on his wine jar and said, "There will be no college exam next year. If you fail this year, you will have to wait another two years."

Zhai Le slapped Wu Wentao on the shoulder suddenly, and said confidently: "We can definitely pass!"

Wu Wentao stopped talking.Zhai Le was born in a scholarly family, and was taught by his grandfather, who was also a Jinshi since he was a child. His foundation is very solid, and his grades in the academy have always been among the best.As long as there are no accidents, Zhai Le will definitely pass the exam.

But others are less certain.There are more than a dozen of them here, and it would be good if they can pass three or four in the final exam.

Zhai Le saw that no one really wanted to talk to him, so he changed to a small wine glass and drank by himself, with a couple of sour poems from time to time.

Wu Xuan and Doudou sat on the other side of Wu Wentao, devoting themselves to the food.When you encounter something very delicious, give it a chopstick.Then share the taste of the food and the cooking experience you have learned.

As for whether the comprehension is correct or not, no one knows.

-

The next day, everyone stayed quietly in the inn to prepare for the exam, and Doudou also accompanied Wu Xuan to write two big characters.

The examination is divided into two parts: the main examination and the re-examination.Because the exam location was the same as the government exam, and the procedures for entering the field and issuing test papers were similar, Wu Xuan and the others had just completed the exam two months ago and had sufficient experience, so the exam went very smoothly.

However, the college examination was presided over by the Xuezheng adults directly sent by the imperial court, and the difficulty was much higher than that of the government examination.

After the first test, write the seat number and release the draft.Of the sixteen people who ate together at Liaoji Restaurant, only six remained.

After the second test, the case will be released, and the name and place of origin will be written.Of the six of them, only four remained.

They are Yang Xiuzhu at No. 40, Wu Wentao at No. 19, Zhai Le at No. 2, and Wu Xuan at No. [-].

Wu Wentao admired him sincerely: "Brother Datang, you are really amazing."

When Wu Xuan saw his name, he was also confused.This ranking is too high!Although he tried his best to cater to Xuezheng Master's preferences when answering the paper, he didn't expect him to be able to cater so well.

Is this the exam ability cultivated by exam-oriented education?

When Zhai Le saw the list, he yelled, jumped up excitedly, laughed and threw himself on Wu Xuan, "Hahaha, Brother Wenxuan, you are so competitive! You are No.2! Hahaha! "

Wu Xuan dodged quickly, and Zhai Le threw himself behind and hugged Wu Wentao.He didn't choose, and hugged Wu Wentao and shouted: "Liu Siyuan only passed No.3 in the exam, hahaha, No.3! If he had passed the exam last year, he would definitely win the top case! But he was delayed by a brothel prostitute!"

"Meeting Gu Jin this year, it's embarrassing for him to take the No. 2 exam. I didn't expect to be No. 3! Hahaha, will he be so ashamed that he hides his face and dare not see people?" Zhai Le couldn't stop laughing.

In the academy, Liu Siyuan has always been a genius.The masters are all optimistic that he can win three cases in a row and become a legendary figure in Zhiyuan Academy for decades.As a result, Liu Siyuan got No.3 in the test, hahaha!

Zhai Le was happier than he himself had passed the exam, shouting excitedly while running.He also generously took out all the money on hand and said, "Let's go to the Zuihong Courtyard, I'll treat you!"

Seeing his madness to the point of losing his mind, the others rejected him one after another.

The few people who like to boo with Zhai Le haven't passed the first test and have gone home.The rest of Wu Wentao and the others had relatively calm temperaments, so naturally they wouldn't mess around with him.

-

He was the only one who paid special attention to Liu Siyuan like Zhai Le, and Gu Jin, the chief of the case, was the most talked about by other normal people.

For example, the pile of local students from Zhenxing Mansion next to them.

One person said: "Gu Jin really won the little three yuan."

A person next to him closed the folding fan in his hand with a "swipe", "Of course, the number one talent in the capital, come to our Zhenxing Mansion to take the exam. It's anecdotal if you fail the exam!"

"I don't know what Gu Jin looks like. Have you seen him when he entered the arena?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"You don't know him, even if you see him, you don't know he is Gu Jin!"

"It is said that Mr. Gu is a handsome and handsome man. He is very handsome, and he can be seen at a glance in the crowd."

"We haven't seen the appearance, so it's hard to guess, but Mr. Gu is indeed famous for his talent and learning."

Another person agreed: "That's right, that's right, Gu Jin is known as the master of both poetry and painting. I heard that there are also his poetry collections and painting collections in the capital bookstore. They are all selling very well."

"Haha, it's all bought by boudoir girls!"

"There are also many men who bought them. I just bought all his poetry collections and paintings, and—" The man opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swipe" again, and showed it to the people around him, "This picture of spring rain in Jingshan is Gu Jin. Made. Only one hundred folding fans were engraved, and I managed to snatch one.”

Someone else discovered the commonality of the top three people on the list, and said: "This year's top three are all from Dingshan County! This Dingshan County is too powerful!"

"It must be because Mr. Gu, the literary star who descended from the sky, brought up the literary spirit of the entire Dingshan County."

"Hahaha—" someone laughed, "Should we move from Fucheng to Dingshan County?"

"What's the use of moving to Dingshan County? Gu Jin grew up in the capital."

"That's right, if I want to move, I will move to the capital. When I win the Juren, I will move to the capital with my whole family."

"It's too difficult to take the exam. Our Zhenxing Mansion has never released the chief examiner. As usual, we should go to Shuntian—"

-

Wu Xuan and the others stopped listening to what was said later, and went back to the inn directly.

A notice was posted next to the college examination list, and all the students who passed the examination will go to the government office to collect the scholar's papers in the morning, and then participate in the teacher appreciation banquet hosted by the Xuezheng lord.

Doudou returned to the inn and began to prepare clothes for Wu Xuan to attend the banquet.

Wu Xuan was surprised: "Doudou, you even brought clothes?" He thought they only had these few long gowns they usually wear.

Doudou said: "Brother Xuan is a scholar, so naturally he should dress decently."

In the early morning of the next day, Doudou personally put on this set of decent clothes for Wu Xuan. Not to mention, Yuebai really looks elegant and elegant.Wu Xuan completely looked like a scholar, and it was not at all obvious that he still had the ability to lift boulders with one hand.

After wearing it, Doudou took out a jade pendant from the small box at the bottom of the suitcase, and tied it on Wu Xuan's belt.

Wu Xuan saw at a glance that this was the jade pendant left by Doudou's mother.

Doudou raised her head and said, "This is a gift for Brother Xuan, congratulations Brother Xuan for being a scholar." It seemed that what he gave was just an ordinary ornament.

Of course Wu Xuan knew the significance of this jade pendant to Doudou, it was the only thing left by her mother in Doudou's hands.

He took Doudou into his arms, "Silly Doudou!"

"I'm not stupid!"

-

After receiving the scholar's documents, all the new talents moved to Mingyun Garden.Master Xuezheng rented out the entire garden and held a teacher appreciation banquet for them.

Wu Xuan, Wu Wentao and Zhai Le walked side by side, and Yang Xiuzhu silently followed behind them.

Mingyun Garden is not a common northern garden, but built according to the pattern of Jiangnan gardens, with five steps, one gate, and three steps, one scene.Wu Xuan and Wu Wentao watched it novelty, and discussed in low voices from time to time.

Zhai Le laughed at them for being old-fashioned and inexperienced.

Yang Xiuzhu walked at the end by himself, besides looking at the road, he was looking at Wu Xuan's back in front of him.

After passing through several doors, we finally arrived at the place where the banquet was held.

Zhai Le saw Shao Zhipeng at a glance, rushed to sit next to him, and complained loudly: "Brother Shao, without you, I don't even have anyone to talk to. I miss you so much!"

Shao Zhipeng just got married, and he came to this hospital examination with his wife, and lived in his wife's dowry house.During the whole process, I didn't go with other people from Zhiyuan Academy.

Wu Xuan and Wu Wentao also chose two seats not far away and sat down. Wu Wentao sat on Wu Xuan's left, and Yang Xiuzhu sat on Wu Xuan's right.

Wu Xuan looked at Yang Xiuzhu in surprise, he thought Yang Xiuzhu would avoid him.

Sensing Wu Xuan's gaze, Yang Xiuzhu lowered his head and silently stared at the table in front of him.

Zhai Le, who finally found a confidant, started talking about Liu Siyuan with Shao Zhipeng and laughed loudly.Shao Zhipeng shook his fan and listened, adding a sentence or two from time to time.

Zhai Le was proud of what he said, when the yamen servant suddenly sang loudly: "Lord Dai is here!"

Everyone quickly stopped talking and stood up from their seats.

Master Xuezheng Dai is a fat middle-aged man, although he is wearing an official uniform, he has no airs, with a kind smile on his face, he said cheerfully: "All the students don't need to be restrained, just sit where you want. "

Master Dai was followed by two students, one of them was wearing a sky-blue book long shirt, and it was Liu Siyuan.

The other one was dressed very casually.A robe with wide sleeves was only loosely tied at the waist, and the hair was not combed, but was tied behind the head with a ribbon.

It's not like coming to a banquet, but like enjoying the scenery at home.
