Chapter 8, the second brother's soju

Every year, the day of the Zhushan Sword Academy's exam will become the most lively day in Xianyang City, as soon as Mu Chensi and Ah Qi walked out of Han Ziyu's room, they heard the voices of people outside the academy, and in the entire Zhushan Sword Academy, countless forbidden troops were presiding over the defense, and the disciples of the Zhushan Sword Academy, who were rarely seen outside, also began to walk through the academy, and began to unite the forbidden army for defense, and deal with things related to the exam.

Since the starting arrangement of the Zhushan Sword Academy was to take the Kaowen exam in the morning and the martial arts exam in the afternoon, according to Archie's plan, he would only participate in the Kaowen exam, and then he would not participate in the martial arts exam.

At this time, the disciple who happened to be in charge of announcing the news of the literary examination spread the news that the literary examination will start in half an hour, and there are 315 people participating in the literary examination. Hearing the news, Mu Chensi glanced at Archie and said: I will wish you the first place in the literary exam in advance, Archie said: Thank you. Then Archie said: Then I'm going to prepare for the exam, I'll come to cheer you on in the afternoon, you can also take the test, Mu Chensi heard this, shook the bangs on his forehead, made a gesture that he thought he was very handsome, and said: Don't worry about this young master's affairs, I will definitely be able to pass the exam, you can go with confidence.

Archie turned around and left, followed the road, passed through the front yard, and came all the way to the door of the examination room for the literary examination, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by the disciples of the Zhushan Sword Academy who were responsible for maintaining the discipline of the examination, and he would check his identity before entering the examination room, Archie took out the exam pass that Han Ziyu had helped him and Mu Chensi do a few days ago and gave it to the disciples of the Zhushan Sword Academy who were in charge to check, and after confirming that there was no problem, the two disciples signaled that Archie could enter the examination room. And took out a bamboo card, which was written on Room 12, Archie hurriedly asked, Senior Brother, what is this? The disciple glanced at Archie and said: This year's literary examination is divided into six examination rooms, namely A, B, C, D, and Wuji, and what you get is a card, that is to say, your examination room is in the No. A examination room, and the number 12 above refers to your seat number.

When Archie heard this, he returned the courtesy and said: Thank you, senior brother.

After Archie left, the disciple said to the person next to him: In the past, all the exams that took the literary examination were not literary crepe, but just now this candidate made me feel different, and the disciple next to him said, "Senior brother, where does it feel different?"

"I can't tell, it just feels different anyway"

.........

Archie according to the bamboo plaque written, came to room A and found the 12th to sit down, sure enough, there were already 11 candidates sitting in the room, Archie sat down and began to meditate, after a while the bell rang outside, Archie instantly opened his eyes, an old man in a big red robe walked in with a stack of test papers, and then glanced at the candidates, the old man looked old, but his face was ruddy, his eyebrows were kind, and he looked like a kind old man, he walked up to the desk, stared at the candidates below and said: First of all, thank you very much for coming to participate in the exam of our Sword Academy, and here I wish you all good results in the exam.

Next, I will talk about the rules of the exam, the so-called rules are that you can't talk to each other during the exam, and you are not allowed to view any information, otherwise you will be treated as cheating, and the exam qualification will be permanently cancelled. Okay, let's start the exam!

After getting the test paper, Archie took a look at the exam questions and found that they were all his own, so he picked up the pen and answered, without the slightest pause, until he came to the last question of the test paper, the topic is to write a poem, and wrote the first two sentences, the candidates need to write the latter sentences by themselves, and finish the poem, the first two sentences are: "The young man in Tsing Yi does not know the age", "The flowers are angry and move forward immediately", Archie thought for a while, and wrote these two sentences "Erlang is free Lingyunzhi, I want to shake up the nine days".

After Archie finished writing, he checked the test paper, and after feeling that there was no problem, he raised his hand to signal to hand in the paper, and the old man glanced at Archie's position and nodded. At this time, there was still half an hour before the end of the exam, and some candidates had already noticed Archie who was about to hand in the papers, and thought about how fast they were. However, Archie didn't know what they were thinking, so he took the test paper and put it in front of the old man's desk, then bowed and quietly left.

After Archie left, the old man took Archie's answer sheet and looked at it, and found that Archie's handwriting was not good, so he followed the reading until he saw the last two sentences, and the old man's eyes flashed with different emotions. Of course, such emotions only existed in the old man's eyes for a moment, and then the old man put down Archie's test paper and began to close his eyes again.

Walking out of the examination room, Archie wanted to go to see Mu Chensi's exam, but after thinking about it, he shouldn't have much of a problem, so he thought about going back to Fenghua Building to rest, and planned to buy two clothes, after all, the clothes he was wearing now were not his own.

After coming to the clothing store and buying a few sets of clothes, Archie returned to Fenghua Building, as soon as he walked into Fenghua Building, the shrewd shopkeeper stepped forward and said: "Guest officer, didn't you go to the exam?" Archie said: The exam is over, so I came back, by the way, why is there no one in the second brother Today, the second brother heard the words and said: I went to Zhushan Sword Academy to see the excitement today, if I really couldn't leave, I ran over, hehe."

When Ah Qi heard this, he said, the second brother also wants to learn to practice?

"I think, how can I not want to, I am dreaming about Le, but I want to work for two years, and I will try to save enough tuition, otherwise I will be a little unwilling after all. After speaking, the little second brother's face showed a silly smile, and then Archie realized that the little second brother looked dark and a little old, but those eyes were clear and transparent, which set off his actual age but not much.

Archie looked at the little second brother and asked, "Is the little second brother from Xianyang City?"

"Yes and no, I'm just a nobody, just thinking about saving money to give it a try, in case I get in, it's better than working here for the rest of my life. With that, he smirked.

Archie heard the words and said, "Okay, I'm sure you can get in."

When the second brother heard this, he said happily, thank you, the guest officer, you are the first person who heard me say that you want to learn to practice without laughing at me.

By the way, guest officer, anyway, I have nothing to do, I invite you to drink, my favorite wine, you must not dislike it.

"Okay, then trouble the little second brother. ”

After the little second brother finished speaking, he ran out with a gourd.

Archie still sat down by the window.

After a while, the little second brother ran back, and in addition to the big gourd containing the wine, there were two more bags of things in his hand. He ran to Archie and sat down, and said, "Although this wine is not as drunk as Qingfeng, I like it tightly, and I don't know if the guest officer is used to drinking it." This is the favorite burning knife of those people in the border pass, the whole Xianyang is this one, this wine is cheap and strong enough, so it is very popular with people in the border pass, and drinking this burning knife, the most delicious is this pig's head meat and roast chicken, while speaking, he poured a large bowl of wine for Archie, and tore off a large chicken leg of the roast chicken and handed it to Archie, and then picked up the bowl and said to Archie: Taste it.

Archie touched the bowl with the little second brother, and as soon as he put it to his mouth, a strong smell of wine drifted into his mouth, and then Archie took a sip and found that this wine had a very familiar taste, and suddenly he remembered that the master had been drinking as if this was the kind of wine.

Then he took a sip of wine, and nibbled on the chicken legs, and Archie was indeed a little hungry after not eating all night, and immediately said: "Good wine, meat is also good meat." ”

The little second brother looked at Archie's sincere expression, and suddenly said with emotion: "Guest officer, you are the first person who is willing to drink with me in these years. ”

At this moment, a familiar voice of Archie came, drinking and not waiting for us?

Archie followed the sound and found that Han Ziyu and Mu Chensi were walking from outside.

Archie asked, "Aren't you going to take an exam?"

Mu Chensi said: It seems that because the master is handsome, he is exempted from the exam, hahaha. I saw this thing walk to the table, unceremoniously tore off a chicken wing, gnawed it with a big mouth, and then poured two bowls of wine by himself, handed one bowl to Han Ziyu, and drank the bowl by himself, and while gnawing on the meat, he said: Damn, what a strong wine.

When the little second brother and Archie heard this, they laughed loudly.

Han Ziyu also took a sip of wine and said: It's really strong, but I like it, and then asked, what kind of wine is this, why haven't you drunk it before?

The little second brother hurriedly said: "You must not have drunk this wine, it is drunk by people like us, where is it drunk by people like you." ”

Who knows what Han Ziyu said, who else is drinking, as long as it is good wine.

When the little second brother heard this, he said: This is the truth, and then he looked at a few people, smiled very happily, and then he said: You taste this pig's head meat, this is made by a widow in the East Market, I heard that her man has been dead for many years, and she is alone with a child, and she lives by selling this pig's head meat, but the pig's head meat she makes is really delicious.

Several people took a bite of meat and ate it, and immediately said: It is really good meat, delicious.

This is Mu Chensi staring at the little second brother and saying: I guess this widow must be a beauty, otherwise you wouldn't be thinking about other people's pig's head meat all day long, haha.

Hearing this, Archie and Han Ziyu also laughed.

The little second brother immediately said with a straight face, don't talk nonsense, Aunt Zuo is very good, if she hadn't helped me back then, I was afraid that I would have starved to death on the side of the road, so I will often go to Aunt Zuo to buy pig's head meat now, one is because the pig's head meat she makes is delicious, but by the way, I will see what kind of work Aunt Zuo needs to do, I will help do it.

Mu Chensi heard this, the little second brother is affectionate and righteous, I made you a friend, come and make a bowl, Archie also picked up the bowl and said, we are all friends, Han Ziyu did not speak, but the wine bowl already showed his attitude.

The second brother picked up the wine bowl and said: My surname is Ye, my name is Yeyang, thank you for being friends with me.

Several people said that there was nothing serious, and then continued to drink, until after three rounds of drinking, several people were drunk, and the first to get drunk were Archie and Mu Chensi. The little second brother and Han Ziyu glanced at each other, stared at the fallen two and smiled, and the two continued to drink.
