Although Master Dai spoke very politely, everyone waited for him to take the main seat before taking their seats one after another.

Liu Siyuan looked at the seat of Zhai Le and Shao Zhipeng, and decisively chose the seat on the other side.

The other student followed Mr. Dai to the front and sat down next to the main seat.

Master Dai said a few words of encouragement, and signaled the beginning of the banquet.

The waiters with trays came in one after another, delivering delicacies one after another, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.The students who were close to each other got together in twos and threes and began to discuss in a low voice:

"Who are the two people following Xuezheng?"

"The one wearing the book long shirt is Liu Siyuan, I don't know the other one, but—"

"But what?"

"To be valued by Master Xuezheng, the ranking must be good. The top two are either Gu Jin or Wu Wenxuan."

"I heard that Gu Shangshu is a serious and upright person, and Mr. Gu must also be calm and upright. It shouldn't be like this—"

Before I finished speaking, I heard Mr. Dai from above say: "All the students are outstanding students of my Zhenxing Mansion, and they should be close to each other. Everyone should stand up and introduce yourself—"

Master Dai gestured to the position on the lower left, and said, "Gu Jin, you start first."

Gu Jin stood up gracefully, waved her wide sleeves, and gave a scholarly salute to everyone, saying: "Gu Jin, a person from Dingshan County, has met all of you from the same department."

Everyone stood up to return the salute.At the same time, they did not forget to exchange a surprised look with each other. They never expected that Gu Jin, the head of the case, would have such a handsome and unrestrained appearance.

Dai Daren said: "Everyone doesn't have to be so formal, just sit down." If everyone introduces, everyone will stand up again, and they may be too tired to eat after a while.

The next student stood up and said, "Wu Renhui, a member of Zhenxing Prefecture. My father was a Juren in the sixth year of Jingyuan, and he is currently serving as the magistrate of Linjia County, Liangjiang Province—"

This self-introduction is not only an opportunity to make friends, but also an opportunity to show yourself in front of Mr. Xuezheng.So everyone mentioned their advantages as much as possible, and some even wrote a poem on the spot.

Another student started to introduce family history at length, Wu Xuan looked at the fresh and tender cold dishes on the table, and secretly picked up a chopstick.

Wu Wentao reminded in a low voice: "It's almost time for us."

"En." Wu Xuan picked up his chopsticks again.According to the momentum of that buddy's eloquence, it is enough for him to eat two more bites.

When Wu Xuan was almost done eating, it happened to be Wu Wentao's turn.

The glorious history of the Wu family is all in the previous dynasty, and there is almost nothing to say in this dynasty, and Wu Wentao's ranking is not high, so he did not prepare any long speeches, but simply said: "Wu Wentao, a person from Dingshan County, is very fortunate to know everyone. A classmate."

Wu Xuan also imitated his rhetoric, saying: "Wu Wenxuan, a person from Dingshan County, is very fortunate to meet all of you."

Hearing the name Wu Wenxuan, most of the students turned to look at him.After all, Wu Wenxuan got No.2 in the exam, second only to Gu Jin, so his talent and learning must be outstanding.

Even Gu Jin casually raised her head and gave Wu Xuan a look.

When Master Dai and Gu Jin mentioned Wu Wenxuan, their tone was very appreciative.It is said that he has novel insights and a unique way of thinking about problems. If it weren't for his poor literary talent, I would have chosen him as the leader of the case.

Gu Jin glanced over and found that Wu Xuan didn't look any different from the other students around him. She was about to look away without interest when she suddenly saw the jade pendant hanging from Wu Xuan's waist.

He sat up straight suddenly, his eyes fixed on Wu Xuan.

Wu Xuan just stood up and said a word, then sat back quickly, the jade pendant on his waist was also blocked by the table.

The next student Yang Xiuzhu got up and started talking, but Gu Jin's eyes still stayed on Wu Xuan.

It was only in a flash that Gu Jin saw Wu Xuan's jade pendant just now, but Gu Jin didn't see it clearly.After all, the styles of jade pendants are similar, and there will always be similar ones. As long as it is not Nuanyu, it is definitely not the one he thought of.

The Gu family's jade pendant is in his father's hands, and it is very precious. He can only take a look at it from a distance every year when he worships the ancestors, so he is not familiar with the details of the jade pendant.As for the jade pendant of the Yuan family, he hadn't even looked at it.I only heard from his father that the jade pendants of the two families came from the same piece of warm jade, and the surnames of the two families were engraved on them.

The jade pendant of the Yuan family should be in the hands of Yuan Gelao's only son, Yuan Yueque.It is said that Yuan Yueque fled to the south all the way to the sea with many important materials and books left by Yuan Ge, as well as Yuan Ge's confidants.

Feng Ge sent many people to chase after him, but they never found Yuan Yueque's whereabouts.Therefore, it is impossible for the Yuan family's jade pendant to appear in a place not far from the capital like Zhenxing Mansion.

Moreover, Wu Xuan's appearance was obviously not from the Yuan family.

Although he knew that he must have misread it, but the possibility is only one in ten thousand, which is enough for Gu Jin to notice Wu Xuan.

-

After everyone's introductions, the banquet officially began. Mr. Dai once again signaled to everyone not to be restrained, but to talk freely.

When everyone was still a little hesitant, Gu Jin was the first to stand up, carrying a jug and glass, and walked towards the back row.With Gu Jin as a demonstration, others began to follow suit, and the atmosphere became active.

Gu Jin stood still in front of Wu Xuan, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Brother Wen Xuan, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Wu Xuan was very surprised.From the time Gu Jin came in with Master Dai, he acted indifferent to everything, obviously different from ordinary students like them.How could I come to drink with him alone now, and the name is so familiar.

However, Wu Xuan couldn't ignore such a polite toast, so he got up and offered a toast, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Gu Jin drank a glass of wine with her head up, glanced at Wu Xuan's waist several times, and then stood still in front of Wu Xuan's table.

"Master Dai told me that Brother Wenxuan mentioned the method of curbing land annexation in the article of the college examination." Gu Jin found a topic that was easy to cut into and could talk for a long time.

But Wu Xuan didn't want to chat with him too much, "It's just some whimsical ideas, not worth mentioning." For some reason, Wu Xuan always felt that Gu Jin gave him a sense of threat.

Gu Jin said again: "Lord Dai also mentioned that Brother Wenxuan's pavilion style is very upright. I don't know which famous master he learned from?"

"There is no mentorship, it's just hard work and hard work." Wu Xuan bumped Wu Wentao's arm next to him, motioning for him to help change the topic.

Wu Wentao was very loyal, he got up straight away and said, "My servant, Wu Wentao, has admired Mr. Gu's name for a long time, and I heard that Mr. Gu is the number one talented person in the capital."

"Brother's reputation is too high." Gu Jin brushed a strand of messy hair back, and smiled like a spring breeze, "These brothers are all from Dingshan County. I am also from Dingshan, but I grew up in the capital. I just came back to my hometown for the first time at the beginning of this year."

Wu Xuan and the others chatted a few words about the few scenic spots in Dingshan County, and then began to praise the Gu family's Wuyan Pavilion and Gu Shangshu's achievements.

Gu Jin was very surprised by Wu Xuan's sensitivity, she was very wary of him, and did not disclose any personal information to him.

Since Wu Xuan was so keen, why did he wear such a jade pendant to the banquet?

This jade pendant is transparent and exquisite in carving.The most important thing is that the word "Yuan" is shining brightly on the front.
