Lan Ziyue was very displeased with the pretentiousness of this "Wan Er Gongzi", and she didn't want to look at him anymore. The pen fun www.biquge.info and pavilion secretly laughed at himself in his heart, he was really a soldier, how could he feel that he was somewhat similar to those two vulgar women before?

Zhou Tianhong and Xing Han raised their glasses to drink, and Lan Ziyue, Zhao Jing'er, and Lin Wan drank their own.

Xing Han, as the host, warmly greeted everyone to drink and eat, and talked eloquently, successfully making the whole process of the banquet without a moment of coldness.

Zhou Tianhong smiled faintly, looked at Xing Han, full of appreciation, and occasionally discussed a few words with him, guiding him to continue.

However, such as the war between Dafeng and South Vietnam, such as the missing military pay and rations, some topics were too sensitive, and Xing Han deliberately avoided them.

The two talked the most about the martial arts examination of this autumn exam and the poetry meeting in the capital. Zhao Jing'er, Lan Ziyue, and Lin Wan listened quietly, and when they heard the excitement, they would applaud, and when they heard the thrilling, they would also be worried and nervous.

Zhou Tianhong saw that Zhao Jing'er had not spoken, changed the topic, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of business the two Wan Gongzi have?"

Zhao Jing'er replied lightly: "My family is engaged in the medicinal herb business, and there are several medical clinics. ”

Zhou Tianhong smiled faintly and continued to ask, "Do those two Wan brothers know medical skills and are proficient in pharmacology?"

Zhao Jing'er frowned, her expression was a little embarrassed, and she didn't seem to know how to answer.

Lin Wan hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "It's embarrassing to say, my eldest brother and I don't like medicine and pharmacology. My eldest brother has learned martial arts since I was a child, and I have learned the way of doing business since I was a child, and I have learned to read account books. ”

Zhou Tianhong looked at Zhao Jing'er in surprise and said curiously: "It turns out that the great prince of Wan is also a person who learns martial arts. I wonder if I will participate in the martial arts this year?"

Zhao Jing'er shook her head and said modestly: "If you are not good at learning under the stage, it is not good to be ugly on stage." And I didn't think about going to the official career, and I didn't want to take the imperial examination. ”

Zhou Tianhong said with a regretful face: "I really didn't expect that the prince of Wan was unwilling to take the official career, which is really a big regret for my great feudal country." However, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced. Instead, he asked Lin Wan again: "Is the second prince of Wan, and didn't he participate in the imperial examination?"

Lin Wan laughed and said, "Zhou Gongzi is really joking, with my little ability, I can't be ashamed." ”

Zhou Tianhong also shook his head and smiled: "The two Wan Gongzi are too modest. Saying that, he changed the topic again and said, "I heard that many talented scribes did not come to participate in this year's imperial examination. For example, the son of Mrs. Lu's family, who is said to be Mr. Qiu's senior apprentice, gave up participating in this month's autumn exam because his sister was seriously ill and the war in Fengnancheng was tight. Even the examiner allowed him to take the make-up exam next month, but he refused. ”

Xing Han said with admiration on his face: "Exactly." Lu Gongzi is a popular candidate this year, and even the emperor attaches great importance to it. I heard that at the end of last month, Lu Gongzi set off from Jiangnan Academy to prepare to enter Beijing to participate in the autumn examination, and on the way he heard that his fifth sister, who he had always loved, was suddenly seriously ill and died. After Lu Gongzi sent a letter to the examiner and his mentor, Mr. Qiu, to explain the reason, he gave up the autumn exam and returned to Fengnancheng halfway. Later, Prime Minister Liu Cheng reported to the emperor, and the emperor specially approved him to take the make-up examination, but because he returned to Fengnancheng, he found that the war between Dafeng and South Vietnam was tight, so he refused to take the make-up examination, and decided to stay in Fengnancheng to help and take the imperial examination next time. ”

Zhou Tianhong also nodded and praised: "I am a big seal, if they are all people with lofty ideals like Lu Gongzi, why don't you worry about the country being rich and the people strong?"

When Lan Ziyue heard this, she couldn't help but snort coldly.

Zhou Tianhong glanced at Lan Ziyue lightly, and Lan Ziyue hurriedly turned her head away, no longer expressing any dissatisfaction.

Seeing the embarrassing scene, Xing Han hurriedly picked up his wine glass again and persuaded everyone to drink.

Zhou Tianhong smiled slightly, raised his glass and drank. There were already three wine jugs empty on the table, most of which were drunk by Zhou Tianhong and Xing Han.

Xing Han's face was already slightly red, and Zhou Tianhong's face did not change, obviously the amount of alcohol was more than one grade higher than Xing Han.

Zhou Tianhong put down his wine glass and said: "There are also the three sons of Zhao Shangshu's family, who also planned to participate in the autumn exam, but because Zhao Shangshu was seriously ill, he gave up taking the exam. The three of Zhao Shangshu's family are all all-rounders. If they can participate, maybe there will be a rare talent for one person to take the Chinese martial arts double title exam this year. ”

When Xing Han heard this, he slapped the table excitedly and said: "Exactly! This year's martial arts and liberal arts exams are not interesting, if several sons of the Zhao family can participate, then this year's martial arts competition will be even more exciting." ”

Zhou Tianhong carefully observed the expressions of Xing Han, Zhao Jing'er, and Lin Wan, Xing Han was obviously half-drunk, and his speech was a little unclear. And Zhao Jing'er is always expressionless, except for occasionally cracking the corners of her mouth and smiling, there is basically no change in expression.

And Lin Wan, after eating enough, has been sitting quietly, drinking tea, shaking a fan, listening carefully to the conversation between Zhou Tianhong and Xing Han, without saying a word, and his expression has not changed much, as if it is all about himself.

Zhou Tianhong asked Xing Han with a smile and said, "Does Gongzi Xing also know several sons of the Zhao family?"

Xing Han nodded as a matter of course and said, "Of course, our Xing family and their Zhao family, the ancestral house is in Shandong, and we have known each other since we were children. It's a pity that they have been keeping filial piety at home in recent years, and they don't come out often, and they haven't seen each other for several years. ”

Zhou Tianhong asked suspiciously: "Is it?" After a pause, he said, "I heard yesterday that the classmate and friend who came back with you were surnamed Zhao, and I thought you came back with the son of the Zhao family, but I didn't expect that the people heard it wrong, it turned out to be two Wan Gongzi." ”

Xing Han frowned and said, "How could it be?" The old lady of the Zhao family is sick, and several sons of the Zhao family didn't even participate in the autumn exam, so how could they come to Fengming City with me to play?" ”

Zhao Jing'er nodded hurriedly and echoed: "When I am walking on the rivers and lakes, I don't want others to know my family background, and I will directly ask the other party to call me Zhao Gongzi, I like this title very much, and it has the taste of a chivalrous man." ”

Zhou Tianhong smiled faintly and said, "Then Zhao Gongzi, do you also know the three sons of the Zhao family?"

Zhao Jing'er shook her head and said, "Although I have always wanted to meet the three sons of the Zhao family, who are both civil and military, I have never seen them so far. ”

Xing Han said: "What's so difficult about that? Zhao Gongzi and they just came back from Shandong, and they met Old Man Zhao who was seriously ill, and he hasn't seen any guests recently, and even I haven't seen them yet. When we return to Beijing, I will introduce you. ”
