In the outer house, Xiaojun sneaked in and asked Zhou Dingcheng for a drink, he is also really level, there are many guards outside, and he sneaked in unknowingly.

"Hmph, it's also called a flood, and the elephant can walk in with a straight step. Xiaojun said very disdainfully.

"That's because you're skilled, and ordinary people really can't get in. Zhou Dingcheng was not surprised by his arrival, and had already prepared a table of appetizers and some fine wines, which were waiting for him.

The two have formed a deep friendship, and they feel uncomfortable not seeing each other for a day.

"Did he go inside and enjoy the joy of fish and water?" asked Jun as he looked at the inner house and grinned.

"Well, but it is estimated that the face of the sin is relatively large, and it may not be able to enjoy anything. Zhou Dingcheng also knew that the pomegranate was weird, but he didn't expect that he was sleeping alone in an empty room.

"I've tried it, no problem, your passage is completely unblocked, even if it's blocked, I can lead you out of Nanjing City at any time. "Xiaojun is just talking about serious things.

He was commissioned by Zhou Dingcheng to try to find a safe passage out of Nanjing City at any time in any situation. During the day, the British Duchess said that she fled to the British Mansion at a critical moment, but in fact, Xiaojun asked her to tell her.

"That's good, thank you. Zhou Ding became a Xiaojun cup full of wine.

On this night, Nanjing is still the city that never sleeps.

After the students finished the exam, they took off the shackles, relaxed to their heart's content, indulged to their heart's content, and went to the restaurant to drink and meet friends with higher taste, and the people who were burned went to the painting boat of the Qinhuai River to be chic. Students from poor families can only go to a small hotel to get drunk, and no one blames them, and this is the case after every township exam. This is also a huge business opportunity once every four years in Nanjing, and all the commercial shops have long been prepared to attract customers with all kinds of gimmicks, scrambling to drain the pockets of these people.

All kinds of fake news and rumors are flying all over the sky, such as what the first batch of winning lists has been generated, so-and-so has been lifted, etc., and there are some scammers wandering in the streets and alleys of the city, falsely claiming that they can open up joints, ensuring that people are lifted, etc., to defraud money, but this trick is not very easy to use, this time this batch of scammers failed to cheat how much money, most of the people who were deceived were stupid people with a lot of money, and they knew that they had absolutely no hope of being lifted. That's a typical self-deception to oneself and spending money to buy a little mental balance.

I really knew that Wen Bin was the only one who had been lifted, and the others would have to be judged one after another in the next few days, but Wen Bin was drunk in the examination hall.

He didn't drink much, much less than usual, after all, there were teachers all around, where did he dare to let go of drinking, but unexpectedly, after a few glasses of wine, he was still drunk and vomited until midnight.

Lian Daning looked at him and just smiled, and he didn't mean to blame, Xinke Xie Yuan, as long as he didn't go crazy or epilepsy, any other manifestations were normal, and happiness was too big and a huge disaster was coming, and people's nerves would feel overwhelmed.

"Teacher, I haven't drunk much. Wen Binqing replied with a wry smile on his face.

"This is normal, I was also drunk on the day of the lift, and it took three days to wake up drunk, and I am not Xie Yuan. Lian Daning said with a smile.

"I was drunk in the Qinglou for three days when I was lifted. Meng Fanjun interjected on the side.

As soon as these words came out, even Lian Daning was shocked.

"What's wrong? Isn't it strange? I wasn't born to be an old master, besides, didn't Chen Musa also like to go in and out of the Qinglou when he was young, drunk and indulgent. Meng Fanjun looked at the stunned looks of the two and muttered.

"Yes, everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous, fat horses are light and high-spirited. Lian Daning also recalled that when he was young, he felt that although he was only middle-aged, he was already very twilight.

"It's like, if I were young like this, what would I be living. Meng Fanjun laughed.

"The old master is right, Wen Binhe is my favorite talent, but unfortunately he is too restrained, and he lacks that youthful and frivolous appearance. Lian Daning said with a smile.

"You say that Wen Bin is quite good, and even if you forget it, he almost led someone to slaughter Fengyang last time, isn't he frivolous?" Meng Fanjun's eyes widened.

"He was angry, I know him, he can't do it at all, he only has the desire to save the world, but he doesn't have the heart of a butcher. ”

"I don't dare to think about it, and when he comes to my door, I'll have to take care of his temperament. Meng Fanjun said ruthlessly.

"You don't care about this, you just keep an eye on him to take the exam, maybe help Guozijian get another Xie Yuan back. Lian Daning said busily.

"It's inevitable to take the exam, if he doesn't go, I'm going to find someone to tie him up, and I have to tie him up to the exam room. You and Old Master Chen are too indulgent to him. Meng Fanjun looked like he hated iron but not steel.

"Old Master, the disciple is not talking nonsense, and his appearance is the most easy-going, but he is very stubborn, if you really want to care about him, you have to pay attention to ways and means, otherwise it may backfire. Wen Bin interjected.

"Well, I also said it, of course I won't force it, but I must not be like Chen Musa. He is spoiled as a son, and I want to cultivate a great disciple. Meng Fanjun continued to be ruthless.

"Hey, by the way, this time the national teacher in the capital doesn't know if the hexagram is accurate, if it is, wouldn't Wen Bin be the champion of the next department?"

As soon as Lian Daning said this, Wen Bin and Meng Fanjun's faces changed slightly, and they tried their best to suppress their excited expressions, and Lian Daning did the same.

Before the township examination, a national teacher in Beijing divined the hexagram, saying that Xie Yuan in the Nanjing examination room was the next palace examination Huiyuan. Everyone is convinced of this.

Historically, more than 50% of the champions came from Jiangnan, but they were not necessarily Xie Yuan who came out of the Nanjing examination room, but most of them were lifted from the Nanjing examination room, so everyone believed in this hexagram.

After it was confirmed that Wenbin was Xie Yuan, everyone immediately thought of this, but no one said it. I feel that this kind of divination method is still too bizarre, and as a Confucian disciple, I should practice Zi silent.

This kind of thing is appropriate to joke, but it is a bit inappropriate to be serious. Wen Bin is now a new branch Xie Yuan, and his status is not ordinarily high, even those house officials treat him differently and dare not joke with him.

Chen Yixue's love for Wenbin was directly on his face, wishing that he was his own son, but unfortunately his own sons were not successful, they were all masters who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and they couldn't mention it academically at all.

He originally wanted to continue to accept Wen Bin as his personal disciple, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind and decided to recommend Wen Bin to his clan brother Chen Yiqin, who was Zhang Juzheng's colleague.

In the palace of Prince Yuwang, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Chen Yiqin are known as the three masters of the East Palace.

Gao Gong is a high-pitched person, but there is no lack of caution and thoughtfulness, is the number one celebrity in front of King Yu, the second is Zhang Juzheng, everything can be calm as usual, there is a landslide in front of the same color, the appearance is quiet, but the inside is scheming, planning and moving, can be called the East Palace think tank, Chen Yiqin is honest and honest, knowledgeable, flawless character.

He thinks this way for the good of Wen Bin, Chen Yiqin will definitely be a cabinet scholar in the future, and his career has reached the top, and he can't go any further. In the future, there will be a cabinet scholar as a teacher, and it is conceivable that the career will be smooth sailing.

Chen Yixue expressed his thoughts, and Lian Daning expressed his complete agreement and thanked him.

Chen Yixue sent a letter to Chen Yiqin overnight, Wenbin was recommended by him, and Xie Yuan, Chen Yiqin would not object, as long as he replied to agree, this matter would be done. Wenbin entered Beijing three years later to take the entrance examination, and he could go directly to meet the teacher.

Chen Yiqin heard that Wen Bin was about to get married, and sighed, he also had a little daughter, if Wen Bin didn't have a fiancée, he would have to recruit Wen Bin as a son-in-law, but unfortunately the wood was already in the boat, so he had to try his luck in other people.

"It's kind of interesting. Meng Fanjun looked at Wen Bin and grinned.

"This ...... Late born is a blind cat that bumps into a dead mouse. Wen Bin blushed like a big girl.

Of course, Wen Bin is like a big girl in the Ming Dynasty, how can the big girl in later generations blush for such a thing? It is possible to drink a glass of beer while being happy.

"Not necessarily, it seems that you are a person with great blessings, and there will be greater luck in the future. Lian Daning thinks that Wen Bin's move this time is really lucky, and it has little to do with strength. Zhongju is already unexpected, let alone Zhongjieyuan.

It's not that he doesn't have the strength to solve the yuan, but he is not suitable for the form of the imperial examination room at all.

"Well, although the main thing in this life is hard work, luck and good fortune are still essential, people can't fight with fate, and it's hard to find a foot in life. I can't understand this until I'm my age, and Master Lian probably doesn't believe it, right?" Meng Fanjun smiled bitterly.

"I believe that the sages are not unfaithful, but they do not speak of orders. He will not use fate to excuse his decadence and laziness. I think people just need to do what they need to do seriously, and the result is really fatal. Lian Daning's words were also addressed to himself, and it was fate that he was there today.

"Incisive, incisive. Why didn't Master Lian come to the Guozijian to give a lecture at the altar?" Meng Fanjun praised, and took the opportunity to send an invitation.

"Don't dare, don't dare, you still respect Old Master Chen to give a lecture, I'm just a feeling. Lian Daning said modestly.

Meng Fanjun answered: "Master Lian's high apprentice understands the Yuan, which has brought glory to Guozijian, and this is the best teaching material. ”

"It would be good if Wenbin won the top prize again, and when the Guozijian didn't invite me, I would go myself. Lian Daning laughed.

Wen Bin felt dizzy again, feeling that he was still living in a dream, whether it was himself or the people and things around him, none of them were real.

Not only him, but all the students who took the exam were basically like this, many people woke up in their sleep, clamoring to give people a reward, saying that they had been lifted, and others told him that the gold list had not been posted yet, he just didn't believe it, who persuaded him to beat whom.

There are also people who dream that they are defeated, and when they get up, they drink like crazy, beating their chests and feet, and they look like they want to drink themselves to death.
