Xue Qing thought, this banquet really didn't end like this, did something still happen? At the beginning, they reported their identities at the post station, and although the Xiliang candidates didn't catch up, they must have found their identities in their hearts.

Xue Qing stopped, Liu Chunyang naturally stopped, Pang An saw the Xiliang examinee at a glance, and he also stopped with the anger of the victim, while the other uninformed people continued to step to the bottom of the steps.

"What did you lose?" Lin Xiucai was still asking with a little displeasure, looking at the left and right eyes falling on Pei Yanzi, Zhang Shuangtong and other young people, "Don't be flustered."

Zhang Shuangtong patted his side and said, "Strange, it's good to come to the banquet with your mouth, which of you still has other pills to take when you're old?"

The officials who were talking over here, and the officials who were walking out inside also heard the shout and came out and asked, "What did you lose?"

There were only inquiries on both sides, and no one answered.

Lin Xiucai frowned and looked at the officials who came out, and said, "Didn't you say that we lost something?"

The officials who came out also frowned and looked around, and asked the little officials and attendants: "What did you lose? Who shouted?"

The attendants around shook their heads.

"No, I don't. ”

"I don't know. ”

"What's missing?"

The front of the hall became a little noisy and chaotic, only the Xiliang candidates stood quietly in place and watched this scene, which was brighter and more dazzling than the smile on the fair complexion of the Great Zhou people.

There were already scribes over there who ran back to the hall to check and ran out again: "There is no loss of anything on the seat in Chang'an Mansion." ”

Lin Xiucai and the others were puzzled and annoyed.

"What's going on?"

"Who shouted that we lost something?"

The officials of the noisy interrogator, Song Yuan, and Mr. Qingxia also came out, and when they saw that it was a group of candidates from Chang'an Mansion, Mr. Qingxia's face suddenly sank slightly, and it really didn't end like this? What is going on? His eyes couldn't help but look at Xue Qing.

The little boy did not come forward, but stood at the end, along with the other two young men, looking uneasy and puzzled, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Song Yuan's gaze also swept over the Chang'an examinee and said, "What's wrong?"

"They said they had lost something. An official said first.

Lin Xiucai immediately said, "No, they said we lost something." ”

The officials next to him and other candidates from Chang'an Mansion complained again, and when they heard this, Song Yuan frowned, raised his hand to stop it, and said, "Did you lose anything?"

The scribes looked at the Chang'an candidates, and the Chang'an candidates also glanced at each other.

"Nope. ”

Everyone said in unison.

Mr. Qingxia said: "No, what are you still doing here! ”

Laughter sounded all around, and Lin Xiucai and the others turned slightly red.

"Someone called us"

"Who is so annoying?"

"What are you shouting about. ”

While complaining and turning around, the laughter around him was louder, looking at this side and pointing, the title of Chang'an Mansion kept sounding, and there was a low sound of ridicule.

"Hey, haven't you been to a banquet before, have you drunk too much and dizzy?"

"Is it because you haven't eaten and drunk enough and are reluctant to leave?"

Zhang Shuangtong shook his sleeves and said: "I didn't expect that after the banquet, our Chang'an Mansion would become famous." I was puzzled, "What the hell is going on, what did you lose?"

Xue Qing said: "Face." ”

Zhang Shuangtong, Liu Chunyang, and Pang An all looked at her, and the other candidates who kept turning back to point and laugh at them before and after walking all smiled bitterly, which was really embarrassing.

Xue Qing smiled, and glanced at the Xiliang candidates who were still standing in front of the hall, and they didn't speak from beginning to end, didn't jump out to laugh, and didn't mention the events of the day, but only looked at the embarrassment of the people of Chang'an Mansion with a happy expression.

They did the shouting.

This kind of revenge is really, ridiculous and helpless, Xue Qing's gaze swept over and suddenly condensed slightly, and there was a line of sight behind the Xiliang candidate, sharp and cold.

She looked intently but only saw a flicker of the figure disappearing, and the Xiliang candidates also began to move, leaving the lantern behind them, the ironclad forbidden army stood solemnly, and several soap-clothed officials were walking along the corridor to the other side, one of them was tall and thin, with broad shoulders and thin waist, his hands seemed to be held in front of him, his steps swayed like an old official with an oily air, but his body was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he turned the corner of the hall and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye under the lamp.

"Let's go, I still see what I haven't lost. Lin Xiucai and the others had already caught up, and said angrily, striding past Xue Qing and a few young people.

Xue Qing smiled and retracted his gaze to follow, this game, it would be better for them to take advantage.

Standing in front of the high hall door and watching the dense candidates under the dense lamps go away, the smile on Song Yuan's face was very gratifying.

"There's another way to select talents for Da Zhou. He said, "The gentleman's test, so that the people of the world can appreciate the gentleman's demeanor, is also an edification." ”

Speaking of which, he bowed his hand in the direction of the capital.

"Your Majesty. ”

All the officials, including the examiners, also bowed their hands in unison and said in unison, Your Majesty Shengming, laughing happily, Mr. Qingxia also looked happy, safe and sound.

But not everyone was happy, and the Chang'an Zhusheng, who was inexplicably mocked, was in a bad mood when he returned to the inn.

"It's a shame. ”

A few older indignant.

"You must find out which little official is shouting nonsense. ”

Pei Yanzi, who had been quiet all night, said: "What is the shame of this banquet, and it is not a gentleman's test. ”

Lin Xiucai said: "This has nothing to do with the exam, we have lost our demeanor." ”

Pei Yanzi said: "Of course, the demeanor is related to the exam, if you win, you can also be regarded as unruly if you lose etiquette, and if you lose, no matter how gentlemanly you are, you will be ignored, don't care about these inconsequential little things." "Say goodbye and go away.

Lin Xiucai and a few others shook their heads and said, "How can you only judge a gentleman based on winning or losing, these young people are really" sighed that one generation is not as good as the next.

Guo Zi'an, who greeted him, asked puzzled what was going on, he was not qualified to participate in the banquet and had been waiting at the inn.

Zhang Shuangtong said the matter angrily: "I don't know who is playing us." "I went to the store and asked for a drink.

Guo Zi'an looked at Xue Qing, and only Liu Chunyang and Pang An were left by Xue Qing's side.

Xue Qing said: "That shout was done by the people of Xiliang." ”

Pang An glared: "We haven't had any contact with them this time, why are we still bullying people?"

But there was contact before, Liu Chunyang and Guo Zi'an also understood in their hearts, and they would definitely not stop when they met Xiliang people, but this kind of trick really made people have nothing to say.

Xue Qing said: "Don't pay attention to such villain behavior" and told Pang An again not to tell everyone, "It is meaningless to quarrel without evidence, but it disturbs everyone's mentality, as Young Master Yanzi said, prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and when the time comes, if you win them, you will be bullied back." ”

Pang An said: "I even came to participate in the gentleman's test." Thinking about the demeanor of the Xiliang people seen at the banquet, and then thinking about what they did, he shook his head, "Where is there a gentleman." ”

In an inn two streets away from the inn where the Zhusheng of Chang'an Mansion lived, the returning candidates laughed loudly, the indoor lights were bright, the original tables and chairs were removed, and gorgeous felt cushions were laid.

The most dazzling young man in the crowd held the treasure belt in his hand and said with a smile: "I can see it clearly tonight, the candidates of Chang'an Mansion look like this."
