When the three of them entered Kyoto, they only felt that it was worthy of the feet of the Son of Heaven, it was very prosperous and lively, and they were dazzled by the street markets that set up stalls and sold along the way, not to mention the dazzling array of shops.

The three of them went to the Wensi Guild Hall, took out their own paperwork, and the people of the guild hall arranged a small courtyard for them; this Wensi Guild Hall was specially set up by the Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty to entertain candidates from all over the country who went to Beijing to take the examination, and it was a place for civil officials to go to Beijing, so they took the word "Wensi" and used it as the name of the guild hall; the Wensi Guild Hall covers an area of 100 acres, and it is natural for thousands of candidates to live; moreover, the food and lodging expenses for the month before the examination are borne by the guild hall, which shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to the literati.

Of course, if you want to live in this hall, there are only three ways; the first is to become a staff member of the hall, free to enter and exit, don't mention it, and you don't want to sleep if you want to; the second is the candidate who has a document sticker, which proves that the candidate has won the top six of the government examination in a certain house in the Southern Ming Kingdom, and has the qualification to participate in the palace examination, that is, the person who has the opportunity to become a protégé of the Son of Heaven can live; the third is the servant and scholar of these candidates, so it is not surprising that Fu Bo can follow the two of them in.

As soon as the three of them settled, Gongsun Ming borrowed some silver taels from Shen Wenqiu and went out, saying that he wanted to buy some change of clothes and paper and ink to come back; that was also, Gongsun Ming was looted on the road, and there was only the book of documents that the robbers did not dare to touch, if he hadn't met Shen Wenqiu and the three of them, his appearance in Kyoto was estimated to be only a beggar's costume.

Shen Wenqiu wanted Fu Bo to help him carry something, but unfortunately he didn't have that blessing, so he refused.

With the help of Fu Bo, Shen Wenqiu cleaned up the dust in the small courtyard for most of the day; perhaps they came too early, and the staff of the guild hall had not had time to clean it; in fact, this courtyard was cleaned once a month, and it was not dirty, but Shen Wenqiu himself was a little more particular; after all, it was necessary to live for a month, clean it up, and live more comfortably;

Shen Wenqiu washed his face, and saw that Gongsun Ming had not come back after going out for most of the day, so he called Fu Bo to look for him.

"Are you unreasonable?" The young man was a little timid, but he felt that he could talk about the word "reason" in everything, so he showed the rigid vigor and poor backbone of a literati scholar; although he was also afraid, some people were like this, the more he was afraid, the more he felt that he wanted theory, so that his heart would be more comfortable; the young man opposite him showed a sneering smile and said to the little servant beside him: "Yo, Chuan'er, do you hear that? Someone wants to reason with Young Master Ben?"

The little servant named 'Chuan'er' smiled respectfully: "Be reasonable, who dares to reason with the young master? "At first glance, this little servant is a sycophant, can speak, understands the thoughts of his young master, and makes this young man happy.

The young man said sarcastically to the young man: "Eh, boy, do you hear that? This Kyoto Young Master is the reason, today, if you don't kneel down and apologize to the Young Master Ben, the Young Master will tell you to leave Kyoto." ”

The person next to him asked in a low voice: "Which guy who doesn't open his eyes provokes this little bully?"

The person next to him also replied in a low voice: "Nuo, just that stunned young man, it seems that he is a foreigner, and it is estimated that he has not inquired about it, so he provoked this plague god." ”

Another: "Shhhh

An old man next to him said, "Alas, what a good young man, it's a pity, if you don't die, you're half-crippled." ”

"Alas, this is not to blame him, and it can only be blamed on his bad luck to meet this plague god. A middle-aged woman who was not good-looking said something that was quite pertinent.

Similar discussions took place in all corners of the crowd, and the voice was neither loud nor small, and Gongsun Ming could just hear it clearly; only then did he realize that he had offended the local snake in Kyoto, Su Qingshu, the little young master of the Eldest Princess's Mansion; not to mention that Gongsun Ming was just a scholar; after figuring out the situation, Gongsun Ming did not know what to do, although he was in charge! But as the saying goes: "The people do not fight with the officials." Not to mention that this is the powerful in Kyoto, and it is estimated that no one can be bigger than their family except the Jun family and the Xiang family.

If this really kneels to him, the face of the saint will be lost to him, and I am afraid that all the scholars in the world will laugh at him for having no backbone of a literati.

There has to be a way to deal with it.

Sometimes, Fu Bo didn't just drum up his broken gourd, but I saw him squinting his presbyopia, stretching out his yellow and thin fingers to point ahead, and asked, "Young master, do you see if that person is Gongsun Gongzi?"

Shen Wenqiu looked in the direction he pointed to, it was really Gongsun Ming, but, seeing a group of people surrounded there, Shen Wenqiu thought to himself that Gongsun Ming's elm pimple must be in trouble.

But he didn't know him well in this life, if he didn't go up to help him, then who else would help him, so Shen Wenqiu could only go up and ask, "Brother Gongsun, what's the matter?"

I saw that the young man said with some disdain: "Yo, there are two helpers here, Chuan'er, look at it, a boy whose hair has not yet grown, and an old one who is about to enter the coffin and come out." ”

Chuan'er patted his ass and said, "I guess I was afraid of hearing your prestige, young master, so I sent this small, old and useless thing." ”

The young man seemed to be very useful when he heard Chuan'er's words, laughed, and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense." ”

Shen Wenqiu didn't have time to deal with these two people, and looked at Gongsun Ming;

Gongsun Ming didn't seem to want Shen Wenqiu to get involved, and said, "Wenqiu, you better leave this matter alone." ”

But Shen asked Qiu to give in so easily?

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Gongsun Ming could only tell him the truth of the matter, and at the same time asked him to leave this matter alone.

Gongsun Ming bought something and was about to go back to the hall, just when this guy named 'Su Qingshu' bumped into him, this inkstone should have been dry, but Gongsun Ming was worried about the quality of the inkstone, so he poured some water in the four treasures of the study and tested it, and he was reluctant to use this ink, so he came out, and there was such a scene, the ink splashed Su Qingshu's body, and Gongsun Ming also apologized to him, but he didn't expect Su Qingshu to be unforgiving, no, it should be said that he didn't spare people, so he had to kneel down and apologize to him.

Shen Wenqiu didn't say anything, he picked up Gongsun Ming and wanted to walk out of the crowd, but unexpectedly, the young servant of 'Chuan'er' opened his arms to stop them, and the young man also stretched out his arms and shouted, "Where are you going?"

Shen Wenqiu asked with a cold face, "What do you want?"

"What do I want, Chuan'er, he asked me what I wanted?" Su Qingshu didn't seem to have any sense of crisis at all, he completely looked like a second ancestor, and smiled to himself;

The servant called 'Chuan'er', maybe he is used to fighting people, and those who can pat on the back should be shrewd masters, who know how to take measure, but he lost his sense of proportion for a while, and he didn't notice Shen Wen Qiu Tieqing's face at all, and said arrogantly: "Kneel down and apologize to our young master, this matter is over." ”

Shen Wenqiu walked towards Su Qingshu step by step with a cold face and asked, "Kneel down and apologize!"

Su Qingshu didn't realize that Shen Wenqiu would resist at all, and said, "That's right, kneel down and apologize to me, and we'll settle this matter." ”

As soon as Su Qingshu finished speaking, he was kicked on the leg, and he knelt down without standing firmly, Shen Wenqiu had a cold face, pressed Su Qingshu's neck, and kept muttering: "Kneel down and apologize, right, you like to kneel down and apologize, kneel, kneel... Next, apologize. Being pressed to the ground by Shen Wenqiu and kowtowing a few times, Su Qingshu came back to his senses from the circle, he bullied people on weekdays, but today he was bullied in turn, what is the situation?

Shen Wenqiu was still muttering in his mouth: "I still don't kneel down to apologize..."

That Chuan'er didn't expect Shen Wenqiu to be so bold, and he was also stunned by his operation, but fortunately, it was only a moment of effort, and he came back to his senses, he stepped forward and pushed Shen Wenqiu away, helped his young master and said, "Boy, do you know who you are fighting?"

Shen Wenqiu was slapped up, and he burst into a foul mouth: "I'm fucking, I don't care who you are!" This slap made the whole person called 'Chuan'er' turn around.

Su Qingshu didn't expect to meet such a ruthless character today, and let out cruel words: "Boy, there is a kind of you don't go, you wait for me." Then, he limped away with his leg that had just been kicked by Shen Wenqiu.

As soon as the two of Su Qingshu's master and servant left, there was thunderous applause around them, obviously these people were usually bullied a lot by this Su Qingshu's master and servant, looking at their embarrassment today, I didn't know how relieved and happy they were.

Shen Wenqiu was stupidly regarded himself as the protagonist of the big opera, and he didn't know how much trouble he had caused, so he arched his hand with a smile and said, "Thank you, thank you for your support!"

There was an old man who couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over and took Shen Wenqiu's hand, and his words were not too neat, and said, "Young... Wait until they come back, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that you and I have the coffin before the old man. ”

Shen Wenqiu said: "Old man, don't worry, this is a reasonable place at the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”

Seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion, the old man said with some hatred: "You... Do you know who you hit? That's Su Qingshu, the youngest son of the eldest princess of our Nanming Kingdom, and the youngest son of Lord Shangshu Su of the Ministry of Officials, who are you going to reason with?"

Shen Wenqiu still stubbornly felt that there was something reasonable, and said: "Old man, the king attaches so much importance to literati, and he wants to be a reasonable person, so don't worry about us." ”

Seeing that Shen Wenqiu didn't listen to persuasion, the old man sighed, walked away tremblingly on crutches, and muttered, "I'm afraid that there are more unreasonable cases in this Lord Yama." ”

Shen Wenqiu didn't care about this, but sighed in his heart: "Everyone in the world is afraid of the powerful, but they have forgotten the sage's teaching that the rich and noble cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent. ”

After looking at Gongsun Ming, who was still worried about something, said, "Let's go, let's eat." Along the way, Shen Wenqiu also continued to enlighten the worried Gongsun Ming: "The sage said: 'The rich and the rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent, this is called a great husband'." We are all sages, and we must believe the words of the sages. ”

He also said: "The king is a reasonable man, and he must understand what the sage said: 'Live in the vast dwelling of the world, establish the right position of the world, and walk the road of the world.'" Gain the will, and the people by it, do not have the will, go alone. How can you make things difficult for us for his uncompetitive nephew? ”
