Chapter 190: Head to head
The fertile soil is gradually thickening, and the fields are ploughed for 10,000 acres.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the White Deer Academy released the list, and the scholars of the Tongfu Inn freshened up and dressed up at this time, put on the previous spring shirt, and greeted their acquaintances. It's just that everyone knows about Qin Chuan and Meng Qing's festival, and when they saw Qin Chuan at the door of the Tongfu Inn, no one walked towards him.
Qin Chuan didn't care, so as not to be disturbed by these mundane things, but he was extraordinarily leisurely. I got the news from the courtyard of the previous shopkeeper that there was ambergris on my body, so that the falcon could find its traces. After coming back that night, Qin Chuan went through the only remaining heaven and earth aura on his body, and found that there was indeed a smell of fragrance on his body, if it wasn't for his sensitive sense of smell, how could ordinary people find this fragrance casually.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, Qin Chuan secretly found the shopkeeper Wu, took a pill from him and took it, strange to say, after the pill entered the abdomen, Qin Chuan's pores gradually spit out some white sweat beads, and the breath was very rich, presumably the ambergris in their mouths. Qin Chuan hurriedly opened the window and dispersed the rich smell, and then found that there was an eagle falcon hovering overhead, but he didn't know where this smell came from.
The problem of ambergris was solved, but Qin Chuan didn't want to go to the place where the list was released, but he could hear it clearly that night, Boss Tan and the shopkeeper would wait here, and there would not be too many people with a similar body shape to Qin Chuan, and with a little investigation, it was possible to expose his traces.
Qin Chuan thought that it would be better to wait in the room of the Tongfu Inn and let Guan Lang inquire about the news, anyway, what he wanted was a place to go to the capital to enroll, and he didn't care if he was sought after by everyone.
After Guan Lang heard it, he said no. Over the years, the spring examination of Bailu Academy in Qingzhou City has been set up at the entrance of the academy, and the readers under the stage gather together, and at noon, the list of the top three will be revealed one by one by the respected teachers. People whose names are often pronounced walk with great pride. However, if someone has not appeared here today, even if he is in the top three, then the scholars in Qingzhou City will only think that he is more pompous and often causes more trouble. After all, in the eyes of scholars, no matter what powerful family you are, as long as you are not in front of you, they dare to say anything.
Unable to resist Guan Lang's intentions, Qin Chuan could only pack up his things and prepare to set off with Guan Lang. It's just that Qin Chuan's spring shirt was cut by Boss Tan's sword aura that night, and he couldn't find suitable clothes for the time being, so he could only find a shabby cotton shirt to wear on his body, and even Guan Lang next to him seemed more energetic than him.
Just as the two of them set off, Shen Lingqiu also happened to come out of the room, she had been closed for the past few days, Qin Chuan thought that she was studying for the sake of knowledge. Later, I heard Guan Lang say that Shen Lingqiu has been in the limelight in Qingzhou City in recent days, and many sons of big families are staring at her, if she finds the news, she is going out, and more than a dozen richly dressed sons are following her, which disturbs her for a while, so she simply stays in the room, and asks Aunt Zhi to send all three meals a day.
Today is the day of the list, Shen Lingqiu wore a dark green Shu embroidered silk skirt, embroidered with a mandarin duck pattern, and wore a white short jacket, which looked spotless. As soon as she stepped out of the door, there was a woman to her right, who was looking at Qin Chuan with fierce eyes at the moment. Ever since she knew that Shen Lingqiu had dinner with Qin Chuan and the others, Aunt Zhi always felt that Qin Chuan was not a good person, and she must have something to do with Shen Lingqiu.
Shen Lingqiu greeted Qin Chuan and Guan Lang a few times before going out, and as soon as her figure appeared, many people immediately came up:
"Miss Shen, I am Zhang Wuji from Zhang Mansion in Qingzhou City, my family has thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city, and I would like to invite you to have a light meal tonight. At this time, a handsome man appeared next to him, with a green jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a discerning person knew at a glance that it was not ordinary.
"Miss Shen, I was born in a scholarly family, and all three generations have entered the spring examination of Bailu Academy, there are some poems here, and I hope Miss Shen can give me some advice. "A young man who looks like a scholar, at the moment is holding a paper fan in his right hand and some paper in his left hand, wanting to make ink with Shen Lingqiu.
......
At this moment, Meng Qing, who Qin Chuan had always hated, also got out of the carriage and walked straight to this side. Seeing this, those scholars or descendants of the big families who were surrounded by Shen Lingqiu before all quietly retreated to the back, after all, no one dared to have anything to do with Meng Qing, but behind him stood the earth overlord of Qingzhou City, Zhou Youliang and Zhou Gongzi.
"Miss Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Meng Qing squeezed out some smiles from between the thick fat and smiled at Shen Lingqiu. I saw him looking Shen Lingqiu's graceful figure up and down, and swallowed his saliva for a while, such a lewd act, the people present could see it clearly. Meng Qing is famous in Qingzhou City, although he is still young, but many people see him go to the medicinal herb shop to grab some nourishing prescriptions for the body, and he is often seen in the smoke and red willow lane.
Shen Lingqiu was still in Qingzhou City at the moment, so naturally he didn't want to lose Meng Qing's face, and when he saw him greeting him, he also replied with disgust: "Thank you Meng Gongzi for your kindness, today is the day of the list, I don't want to miss the time." Shen Lingqiu smiled apologetically after speaking, and after saluting Meng Qing, he was about to turn around and leave. If such a beautiful woman mixes with the disciples, I am afraid that she will grow old in a few years, and she can only stay alone in the empty room.
Shen Lingqiu's smile seemed to shine on Meng Qing's heart like the warm winter sun, seeing that Shen Lingqiu was about to leave, Meng Qing actually grabbed Shen Lingqiu's right hand and dragged her back. Seeing this, the scholars present all exclaimed, but no one dared to step forward to stop them easily, so they could only watch Meng Qing's hands destroy the flowers.
It turned out that Meng Qing knew from the vendors in Ningzhou City that Shen Lingqiu had escaped from marriage, and the Shen family in Ningzhou had always wanted to arrest her back, but she didn't expect to hide in Qingzhou City. Since it was such an act, it was naturally intolerable to the Shen family in Ningzhou, so they expelled her from the house, and I heard that they also sent domestic servants to arrest her, so she could not be regarded as the real Shen family. Since there is no Shen family as a backer, Meng Qing has such a reliance and wants to take Shen Lingqiu for himself.
Shen Lingqiu couldn't exert his strength all over, and wanted to break free of Meng Qing, but found that his wrists were clenched tighter, and red scars could be seen on his fair skin. Shen Lingqiu scolded for a while: "Meng Qing, what do you want to do? Aunt Zhi was standing next to her, and was about to step forward but was stopped by Meng Qing's entourage, anxious like ants on a hot pot, but she didn't know what to do.
Qingzhou City Hunt happened to be patrolling the side, looking at the door of the Tongfu Inn gathered a lot of people, and was about to come forward to investigate, one of Meng Qing's entourages hurriedly prepared a broken silver and handed it to these Hunters, so he just glanced at it from a distance and left, turning a blind eye to these things that happened in the Tongfu Inn.
Meng Qing has seen too many women, most of them are obedient to themselves, but it is rare for a person as strong as Shen Lingqiu, for a while, Meng Qing became interested, swallowed his saliva, and began to smell Shen Lingqiu's body fragrance.
The people present were dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine that Meng Qing would dare to tease Shen Lingqiu in front of everyone, and there was silence for a while, and no one dared to speak.
"I'll let you go of her, otherwise I won't let you get out of here today!" At this time, a cold voice came, which made Meng Qing a little surprised.
