In a foot shop in the city of Tokyo, a handsome young man was drinking at this time, his hair was loose and his long shirt was messy, and the guys in the restaurant had already looked at him sideways a few times. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Another pot, a thousand days of spring ......"

His cheeks were slightly red from drinking, his eyes were chaotic, and his speech was not very sharp.

Guy, I've seen a lot of these down-and-out students these days, and there are a lot of people who borrow wine to get drunk.

"Guest officer, we are not here in Yuxian Building, where did Qianri Spring come from, you see, do you pay two coppers first and then drink?"

Su Xuanzhai felt in his pocket and took out a few copper coins, and when the guy saw it, he pouted and snatched a pot of wine in his hand and held it in his arms.

"You don't have enough money to drink a pot. ”

His voice was loud, which attracted many people to turn around, and Su Xuanzhai was even more embarrassed under the gaze of other guests who were either mocking or watching the excitement.

Thinking that not long ago, he was still a guest of Yuxian Lou, who didn't want to scold himself except for the rich people in Tokyo, and even those adults introduced themselves as distinguished guests, only drinking a thousand days of spring in their mouths, and pretending to be a sample for evaluation, but in a blink of an eye, now they can't even afford this ordinary water and wine.

Since he was five years old, he has been diligent in his studies and talented, and he has been admitted to the provincial yuan all the way, accompanied by praise and applause all the way, but since he failed in the palace examination, he fell from the clouds overnight and fell heavily into the soil.

Of course, he can take the test again, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but Su Xuanzhai is not a stupid person, he is very sensitive to find from the attitude of some adults who are more afraid of him that he may not have a chance.

When you are down, you can't expect the people around you to treat you as before, but Su Xuanzhai soon received news from a "caring person", because he was "famous" and would soon be sent to a small county town as an official.

The other party smiled and patted him on the shoulder, congratulating him on his ascension.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has offended people.

He could have taken the next Enke re-examination, and naturally it was another world, but now that he was awarded an official, it was impossible for him to win the center of power again, and he couldn't even go back to the capital, but he was a petty official who was not much better than a Xu official, and in the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many such petty officials there were, and whether he could make ends meet was a problem.

The most feared thing is not that others will not give you a way to live, but that you will be given a downhill path that you can't refuse.

He is not from a wealthy family, the only thing he can rely on is the imperial examination, and the failure of the imperial examination is jealous, and for a person like him, this life will end here.

Sun Xiu and Sun Jixiang even had an interest in him, but by this time, Su Xuanzhai had already understood that the so-called appreciation of his talent by others in the past was only on the premise that his talent could be "proven", and now Qin Zhengkun is the one with "talent".

Su Xuanzhai's fingers picked at the tabletop, and said to the guy in a somewhat unkind tone: "Give me wine!

The guy has seen a lot of such people, and when he comes here to pretend to be an uncle, he has to weigh his ability first, he pouted and said: "Seeing the money, naturally good wine and good food will be brought to you, you have no evidence, do you still want to pay on credit?"

Su Xuanzhai's face turned red.

Suddenly, there was a few bangs, and several strings of copper coins were thrown on the table.

"Go and fight a thousand days of spring. ”

The man sat down in front of Su Xuanzhai.

The guy was quick and immediately changed his face: "Okay." ”

With the money in hand, I went to Yuxian Tower to give the uncles a thousand days of spring.

Su Xuanzhai looked up and saw a strange middle-aged literati in front of him, with a white face and a long beard, who he didn't recognize.

Thank you for the official's charity, but Su didn't want to drink anymore and took his leave. ”

He staggered to his feet, but the man opposite said: "Just a little setback, just like this, you still want to come out?"

Su Xuanzhai's face showed a look of anger, but the man said to himself: "Sit down, if you are unwilling and want to turn over, just sit down, there is only one chance." ”

Su Xuanzhai's thoughts in his heart turned a lot, and finally he retracted his steps and sat down.

……

When the lights were turned on at night, Zhou Yubai waited for Jiang Cheng's reply, he was half of Zhang Jiucheng's student and Zhou Yubai's staff, but he usually liked to be a bookkeeper, and his face was rarely exposed.

This time, Zhou Yubai ordered him to do it.

Although Jiang Cheng is not as eloquent as Zhang Jiucheng, he is also a smart and knowledgeable person, and it is no problem to deal with a milky Su Xuanzhai.

It's just that Zhou Yubai can't see Su Xuanzhai now, firstly, he wants to wait for him to dry before making plans, and secondly, he also has the heart to probe his bottom, he only asked Jiang Cheng to bring him words and let him write poems, but not to compare his serious poetry and songs, but to let him write in the gentle township of Qinglou from the feelings of the flower girls, how to be gentle and charming, how to write how to be glamorous and charming, but it made Su Xuanzhai's face red, thinking that Jiang Cheng was playing with him.

But he didn't dare to disobey, he had no other way but to believe in Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng also didn't understand Zhou Yubai's intentions, in his opinion, although Su Xuanzhai was talented and learned, his heart was really not firm enough, in recent days, he was either soaked in Willow Lane, Flower Street, or various taverns, very decadent, plus he used to be arrogant, made a lot of enemies, and the article was rejected by the emperor, no matter how you look at it, there is no value in being co-opted.

In this talented city of Tokyo, there is really no shortage of such a person.

Zhang Jiucheng was able to see some of Zhou Yubai's thoughts, and he only said to Jiang Cheng:

"This is the reason why you can only be a counselor under Lang Jun, and he is the lord of you and me. You are not young, but you are also short-sighted, Lang Jun has been in a difficult situation since he was a child, can he have such a capitalist scholar who has raised strategists, merchants, and assassins since he was a child? It is not easy for him to have a few of us by his side, he has to do great things, and he still has to use people to hold these small sections? It is not an unforgivable sin to be firm and arrogant, Su Xuanzhai is a seedling who can be taught, and there will be an easier way to capture people's hearts than this?"

If Su Xuanzhai was good at everything, would Zhou Yubai still choose such a person? He has these problems, so he can use him well.

Jiang Cheng suddenly realized and said to Zhang Jiucheng: "It's the students who are narrow-minded. ”

Zhang Jiucheng touched his beard, and secretly thought in his heart, the people behind the scenes helped Qin Zhengkun to suppress Su Xuanzhai, and they could also use Su Xuanzhai to fight back.

Didn't Sun Jixiang not want this son-in-law?

Zhang Jiucheng laughed twice, and he had to see if they agreed or not.

I'm afraid that some babies will ask, here is another popular science, the Song Dynasty imperial examination, the information I checked, there is a clear fall of the top five people to take the high school examination, although it is already a jinshi, but also the meaning of the re-examination, and the Ming and Qing Dynasty system here is also different. If you say it wrong, welcome to correct the baby who understands this aspect.
