Chapter 418: Flower Wine
Jian Beichun sighed, and Xiangyun opened his mouth to convince him: "The matter of the imperial examination is already cumbersome, and the horses are hard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Thank you aunt for your concern, it is also my blessing to be able to share the worries of the emperor and the princess."
Jian Beichun continued to go to the living room to deal with related matters, and wrote down all the important things, and then showed Ling Qingcheng at night.
Lingqing City has never been to Minghua City, which extends in all directions, although it is not as good as the capital, but it is much more prosperous than other towns.
It has always been a place where literati and artists like to gather, because there are mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and all kinds of books, all of which are better and more complete than other places.
Ling Qingcheng changed into casual clothes, and she looked like a man, she walked through the market with a folding fan in her hand, and walked through the shops.
There are still five days before the imperial examination, and students have been rushing over one after another in the past few days, and Zhuang Ran and Wei Chi Linjia, who are the chief examiners, will arrive in Minghua City one day earlier.
The officials dispatched by the Sixth Department also came to Minghua City the day before yesterday to be in charge of the arrangements for the examination room and the collection of various registrations.
Huaiyu was arranged among the examiners and was responsible for understanding the situation, as for the martial arts test, although it was in charge of the military department and the etiquette department, she could also make decisions, so she was not worried about accidents.
Jian Shi wanted to participate in this imperial examination, so he came here early to prepare, and his family was well-off, so the Jian family rented a small house for him as a residence.
Jun Ruize also wants to participate, but his actions are much more high-profile, Jun Haoyu has mansions in many places, Minghua City is no exception, he lives in a house under Jun Haoyu's name, in order to facilitate practice, he also rented a vacant land as a school field.
Ling Qingcheng had considered the accommodation of students rushing to take the exam before, so he asked that the inn here should not outsource the entire inn, and those who had the conditions could rent the house by themselves.
The meals after the exam will be uniformly allocated by the court, and those who rush to take the exam only need to pay for the room every day.
Ling Qingcheng was much relieved to see that there was nothing unusual on the street, and at this moment, she saw that she had met Su Ji before, he was doing chores in a restaurant, and his hands and feet were quite nimble.
Ling Qingcheng went over and found a place to sit down, Su Yu came over to greet him, and when he saw Ling Qingcheng, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What does Childe want?" ”
Ling Qingcheng didn't change her face, so Su Ji would recognize her: "You are very good at working." ”
"The main thing is to eat and live, anyway, I don't have anything to do before the exam."
"Are you sure you don't want to read a book?"
Su Ji scratched his head: "If you don't read it, I'm not not reading material, I followed the old monk to copy the words I knew from the Buddhist scriptures, and now I can't understand what kind of arrangement I want to see." ”
"You're in a good state of mind."
Ling Qingcheng likes his personality very much, open-minded.
It's just that she still has one more doubt about Su Ji that she hasn't said, that is, how did he know about her.
Although Su Yu's explanation was seamless at the beginning, a thief, even if he wanted to be recommended, someone had to point it out, presumably there must be someone behind him, but this person did not let him do anything else.
Since Zhuang Ran is going to send someone to her side this time, he must use very clever means, maybe this person is not Zhuang Ran's pawn now.
Ling Qingcheng ordered a few small dishes and sat in the store, in the evening, the restaurant became busy, and Su Ji served her more dishes than others, although she could afford to pay, but this Su Ji obviously wanted to please her.
In fact, she likes this kind of clumsy overture very much, for a person with a humble status and a bad family background, or, for ordinary people, they are good to you not because of what you lack, but because of what they have.
They give you what they have, and that is good for you.
This kind of goodness is cherished by Ling Qingcheng.
This also made her care more about Su Ji's intentions, she hoped that he was not a solemn person, she hoped that all these encounters were all coincidences.
Jian Beichun was busy for another afternoon, and after the matter was dealt with, several officials invited him to a banquet.
Xiangyun said that Ling Qingcheng agreed to let him participate, and hoped that he would not have to be restrained, so that he could learn more information.
Mingle with these people and make them feel like you're like them, and you can learn more.
Jian Beichun went back to the room to change clothes, and Xiangyun asked his subordinates to send a new set of clothes, Jian Beichun was a little surprised.
"This is prepared by the princess for the concubine, the clothes of the concubine are too elegant on weekdays, and now the concubine is sealed by the emperor's will to come to Minghua City, dressed up, naturally more luxurious."
"Thank you, princess."
After Jian Beichun got dressed, he looked in the mirror carefully: "Can you ask my aunt to help me bring the brocade box in the cabinet, which is the New Year's gift from the princess." ”
Xiangyun took a brocade box, and when he opened it, there was a hairpin inlaid with gold and jade.
Jian Beichun pinned the hairpin, gently stroked his sleeves, and then went out.
The officials hosted a banquet for Jian Beichun in the best restaurant in the city, and most of their words during the banquet were flattery, and Jian Beichun also responded one by one, showing great harmony.
"I heard that the horse is an ordinary person, but when I see it today, he is a rare talent, if he enters the court as an official, he will definitely have a bright future."
Said a bloated official.
"As a concubine, I am not allowed to participate in court politics, I am just helping the emperor and princess deal with some trivial matters, not the one who makes decisions."
Several people laughed and echoed after hearing this.
Jian Beichun drank very well, after a few rounds, he pretended to be a little drunk, these officials exchanged glances with each other, and one of the middle-aged men with a beard said, "Is this drunk?" Why don't we help you back to your room and rest? ”
Jian Beichun nodded slightly, and the official asked people to help him to a room.
As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong fragrance, instinctively felt that something was wrong, and struggled to leave.
Who knew that these officials rushed to the door at once, and with the addition of subordinates, he couldn't get out at all.
"The horse is drunk, have a good rest here, the wine is almost sober, and then go back, you and I are both men, go back now, the princess will definitely complain, and we are also for your good."
Jian Beichun wanted to get up, but found that his body was weak, and his eyes became blurred.
When the servant helped him to bed, he grabbed his hand at the candle, and the servant hurriedly pulled him away, but the burning pain in his palm made him sober up a little.
He was put on the bed, and in a moment several women entered, all of them very thinly dressed, with their white arms and thighs bare.
"Childe is so handsome."
"Yes, this dress looks like it's either rich or expensive."
"Childe, let the concubine serve you well tonight."
A few people were about to go to bed, and Jian Beichun struggled to sit up, but was pressed on the bed by them.
Six women came into the room, they held Jian Beichun's limbs, and the remaining two began to undress them.
