September 10th, the first holiday of September.

Yuzhang County Taishou Wang Xian held a banquet, and the invitation letter was sent to the officials and famous families in the entire Yuzhang County. It is the name of the poetry club, and it is claimed that the recommended quota for the imperial examination of Yuzhang County this year will be produced from this poetry meeting, and the venue of the banquet is precisely the Tengwang Pavilion built by Li Yuanying, the king of Teng, decades ago.

Of course, there is also one such invitation here, and everyone who receives the invitation can bring one person to participate. Xu Fan is naturally here that Xu Chen was pulled into a strong man, and it just so happened that Xu Chen also wanted to use this opportunity to implement a new plan, a plan that could make a lot of money!

The banquet only began in the evening, and in the afternoon, Taoyuan, Xu Fan's residence.

Xu Fan deliberately dressed up, faded the coarse cloth shirt that had not changed for thousands of years, and replaced it with a blue-green silk gown, pinned an emerald jade belt around his waist, and wore green shoes on his feet, and even a jade hairpin was inserted in the bun, really...... It's just a hat away!

Xu Chen, who saw the teacher's sassy dress, was directly silent......

I held it for a long time before I could hold back a sentence, "Teacher, you ...... It's rich!"

Xu Fan glanced at Xu Chen and said lightly: "As a teacher, he is also a son of a family." ”

"I really didn't see it......" Xu Chen said with a wry smile.

"Why don't you go and change your clothes!" Xu Fan didn't bother to talk nonsense with this tired big disciple, looked at Xu Chen, who was still dressed in a green shirt, and said.

"Teacher, I'm fine like this!" Xu Chen muttered.

"No! How can there be a reason for a teacher to wear silk and a disciple to wear sackcloth?"

Knowing that the teacher was going to help support the scene, Xu Chen shook his head helplessly, turned around and was about to walk out.

"Where are you going, this is all ready for you!" Xu Fan said, pointing to a stack of clothes on the table next to him.

Xu Chen glanced at the same green clothes, shook his head vigorously, and said, "Don't!

After speaking, Xu Chen ran out as if he was running away, and after a while, he appeared in white, no way, since the teacher was green, Xu Chen could only be white.

Xu Fan looked at Xu Chen, who was dressed in white, and suddenly felt that his eyes lit up! Xu Chen is not a handsome guy, but he is also a beautiful eyebrow, especially a pair of deep or vicissitudes of life, which makes the whole person's temperament change sharply all of a sudden, and with this dress, it is really a bit warm and jade-like.

It's just that this color still makes Xu Fan frown, today is a banquet, a big day, and it's too good to wear this......

However, Xu Fan thought about it again, suddenly laughed, and then pulled Xu Chen away.

Xu Chen, who felt the teacher's smile, was obviously a little hesitant, but before he could think of the reason, he was pulled away by the teacher.

Taoyuan is actually very close to Tengwang Pavilion, less than three miles, but today's Teacher Xu seems to be going to carry out the sao bao to the end. When Xu Fan pulled Xu Chen to the door, an ox cart was parked at the door.

The customs handed down from the two Jin Dynasty, the upper class of the scholars prefer ox carts to travel, although not as fast as the carriage, but it is more stable than the carriage, of course, the main thing is that the cattle are more expensive!

A sturdy ox pulled a float, and the ox was also covered with colorful paints, Xu Fan pulled the apprentice into the ox cart, and then instructed the coachman to set off.

In the short three-mile road, the ox cart walked very slowly, and the curtain on the car was also opened.

Xu Chen tilted his head and looked at the crowd and traffic that were also moving slowly along the way, and immediately understood the intention of the teacher, as a good apprentice, Xu Chen naturally wanted to play this role well.

So Xu Chen also immediately sat upright, shaking his head and shaking his head, and even asked the teacher a few questions from time to time.

Xu Fan nodded with satisfaction when he saw his apprentice like this, and at the same time made a strict appearance to teach the disobedient Xu Chen, Xu Chen naturally accepted the teacher's education with a stupid look.

The two people in the car performed perfectly, and soon, the audience came.

"Brother Xu, I didn't even forget to teach my disciple when I was in a hurry, the way of being a teacher is like this, it really makes me feel ashamed!" An ox cart on the side of the road leaned towards Xu Fan, and a man in the car had already greeted him from a distance.

"Brother Huang, is this making fun of being a brother?" Xu Fan knew who was coming as soon as he heard the voice.

"Haha, how dare you!" The visitor laughed.

The person who came was Huang Xian, the head of the Huang family, what Xu Chen didn't understand was that both sides were acquaintances who couldn't be more familiar, and they usually spoke quite casually!

Xu Chen guessed that this might be some etiquette that should be kept on an occasion like today, didn't he see that Huang Xian was also sitting in the ox cart with the curtain drawn high? Since it is something that he doesn't understand, it's better to continue to pretend to understand!

So Xu Chen also sat next to him with a smile on his face, putting on an appearance of listening attentively to the words of the elders. I don't know that Xu Chen's expression looks at the eyes of the two, but he has some different guesses about Xu Chen's life experience.

In this way, the two ox carts are parallel to each other, but they keep some distance in the middle, three miles is really not long, no matter how much they slow down, it won't take much time.

In front of the Tengwang Pavilion, the guards of the Taishou Department have already formed a circle with curtains around the pavilion, and the grass in the curtain is also extravagantly paved with a carpet, and the carpet is covered with delicate tatami mats and pineapple wood tables, and the table is full of wine and fruits, and there are a team of maids in the field.

At the entrance, the guards set up a small checkpoint, put up a few desks, and a few richly dressed officials were checking the invitations next to the desks.

The ox cart came to a halt more than three feet from the entrance, and the drivers drove straight away, and the rest of the way naturally required the guests to walk through.

Master Xu Fan and apprentice got off the ox cart, and so did Huang Xian next to him, all the guests who got off the car here waved to each other, but they didn't get closer, and still kept their distance and walked towards the exit.

Xu Chen secretly observed, and found that the people who got off the bus at the same time seemed to maintain a peculiar pattern with each other on the short road to the entrance, and after looking at it for a while, Xu Chen guessed that it should be the difference in status and identity. After Xu Chen was dragged away by the teacher, he found that there were still people waiting in the same place behind him, and he would not leave until the person he thought was suitable left, and the people behind him were still waiting as a matter of course.

What a tacit class division! I'm afraid that the order in which people who receive the invitation will be different. "All evil feudal society!" Xu Chen sighed in his heart, and then followed the teacher in peace.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the curtain, I found that the open space outside King Teng's Pavilion was already full of people, who should have come early, although there were many people, and the voices were also very chaotic, but there was no kind of boiling noise, and all the people seemed to be whispering in a reserved voice.

The banquet in the Tang Dynasty was naturally not so dull, but now that the banquet has not yet begun, and the endless stream of high-ranking officials and dignitaries walking by around them are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, so how can the middle and lower-level officials sitting outside start to wander now?

Xu Chen followed the teacher to the Tengwang Pavilion, and there were also several rows of desks in the Tengwang Pavilion, and the people who sat down were naturally some of the people on the top floor of Yuzhang County. Xu Chen followed the teacher to the front circle and sat down, and after sitting down, Xu Chen habitually observed the surrounding environment with the corner of his eye.

The people around him knew each other, but most of them didn't know each other, and most of these people were looking at Xu Chen, feeling the strange eyes around him, Xu Chen suddenly understood what the teacher's smile just now meant.

Among the colorful clothes around, Xu Chen's white body is really dazzling!

Although he did plan to show his hand tonight, Xu Chen didn't want to be the focus from the beginning! The teacher obviously expected this situation but deliberately didn't say it, it seems that he also had the intention of letting his disciple show his hand, but this is not in line with our Xu Gongzi's low-key style. ！

Xu Chen, who understood it, did not lower his head to pretend to be a turtle with a shrunken head, since this is already the case, superfluous movements will only make people pay more attention to you, so Xu Chen had to sit there quietly with a smile on his face, his eyes looking straight ahead, as if he was paying attention to something, but in fact, there was no focus.

Gradually, most of the guests came, and the seats next to Xu Fan and them were also full, and there were three desks at the top. After Duan Zhang resigned, the imperial court sent a new long history, but now that the new long history is still on the road, it is impossible to catch up with this feast. So in the end, the first person to sit down was Taishou Wang Xian, don't drive Han Gang and Sima Jiawei.

After the three of them are seated, it means that all the guests have been seated, there are a lot of people coming tonight, most of the heads of the major families in Yuzhang are all present, and most of them are followed by a young person, and they want to bring out their own juniors to see the world.

Although Wang Xian used a high-sounding reason, the heads of the families and officials at all levels present had their own opinions.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Taishou Wang Xian picked up the teacup in his hand, drank saliva, moistened his throat, and made a look like he wanted to speak.

The people in the pavilion, who had been paying attention to him, immediately stopped their soft whispers when they saw this, and soon the silence in the pavilion spread to the outside of the pavilion, and the whole venue was quiet in an instant.

Wang Xian saw that everyone was quiet, so he said: "Today's holiday, on a whim, the official invited you to come here to talk about it. Saying that, Wang Xian picked up the wine glass, and after filling it, he turned it around everyone, and then said: "This official will punish himself with three glasses first!"

After speaking, Wang Xian poured three glasses of wine, and everyone smiled when they saw Lord Taishou doing this, and at the same time showed an expression of understanding. No one would recklessly say something stupid at this time, such as "It's too polite, we don't blame you!"

On such occasions, the order in which people speak is tacitly observed.

"This official invited you to come tonight, in order to meet friends with poetry, and also to test the candidates who came today, all the heroes of this county, and also for the scientific examination of the imperial court next year to select our candidates from Yuzhang County. No matter what others think, anyway, Wang Xian said his purpose for today from the beginning.

It's just that a scientific examination and poetry selection meeting, why invite the officials and gentry of the whole county to come, I'm afraid the reason is not enough for outsiders.
