As soon as Yang Liu's expression spoke, Xia Fan could guess what she was thinking, but anyway, the original plan had been disrupted, and it wouldn't be a big deal to follow her on a trip.

Moreover, the scholar Chen in the mouth of several people can be regarded as a quite remarkable person within the territory of this Daqian Dynasty, if he can take this opportunity to make friends, it should be of great help in the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Fan nodded noncommittally and said, "Since it was invited by the second young lady, of course I, Xia Fan, want to give this face." ”

"That's the best, Zhao Mingyuan, your sedan chair is relatively large, and it won't be crowded if you sit two people, let's be in a hurry, let Xia Ershao sit in your sedan chair."

Seeing that Xia Fan agreed without any hesitation, Yang Liu was in a good mood and directly opened his mouth to arrange it.

The man who was called Zhao Mingyuan was the man who glanced at Xia Fan with disdain.

As soon as he heard that Yang Liu asked Xia Fan to sit in his sedan chair, his originally handsome face suddenly darkened, obviously very unwilling, but because this was Yang Liu's arrangement, he couldn't refuse, so he could only turn his head and stare at Xia Fan hatefully, hoping that Xia Fan could get acquainted and take the initiative to reject Yang Liu.

Unexpectedly, Xia Fan didn't seem to see his face at all, he thanked Yang Liu with a smile, and then didn't even look at him, and went straight to his sedan chair.

Looking at Xia Fan, who sat directly opposite him unceremoniously, Zhao Mingyuan almost didn't get his nose crooked.

"Okay, let's go, everyone hurry up, if it's too late, let Scholar Chen criticize us for not being punctual, you go back and wait for the door-to-door law."

Yang Liu's voice came from outside, and then the sedan chair began to move again.

However, the consequence of the obvious acceleration of the pace of the sedan chair drivers is that the sedan chair is not very stable for a while, and it sways back and forth quite a lot.

After all, it is only a four-person sedan chair, and in terms of comfort and stability, it must not be compared with an eight-person sedan chair.

Although Zhao Mingyuan and Xia Fan sat opposite each other in the sedan chair, there was no communication between the two, Zhao Mingyuan put on a posture from head to toe that no one should enter, obviously disgusted and disdainful of Xia Fan.

Of course, Xia Fan didn't bother to bother with him, from the name of Yang Liu to this person, he remembered who this person was.

Zhao Mingyuan, the son of the city guard of Qingyang City, is known as the first genius of Qingyang City, a useless scholar who thinks highly of himself.

At the same time, it is also one of the many suitors of willow.

In the previous life, he could barely be regarded as Xia Fan's rival, because Xia Fan in the previous life also had a strong desire for Yang Liu to possess it.

Of course, for the current Xia Fan, that kind of thought at that time was really ridiculous.

The city guard of Qingyang City can be regarded as the number two official person in Qingyang City, and his status is only under the city lord, and he is fully responsible for all the administrative work of Qingyang City, so although he is only a civil official, he is still quite powerful in Qingyang City.

At least in some cases, even the Xia Liu family was reluctant to provoke this city guard.

This also led to Zhao Mingyuan's eyes being above the top in Qingyang City, plus he was quite famous, and he was born in a scholarly family, so he didn't look at martial arts since he was a child, let alone Xia Fan, a 'famous' son of Qingyang City.

In short, this is a very nasty person.

Xia Fan and his own self who were the same age in the previous life had extremely rare unanimity in their views on Zhao Mingyuan.

"Brother Mingyuan, I don't know what happened when the second young lady took us to Scholar Chen's mansion this time?"

Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan was always staring at the street outside the sedan curtain, and it seemed that it was a great shame to sit in the same sedan chair with him, Xia Fan suddenly became a little interested in having fun.

"Hmph, after returning to his hometown, he will hold a tea party in his house every three months, and invite famous young talents in the city to meet friends at the tea party and discuss the world's major events. It's normal for an uneducated guy like you not to know about this kind of thing. ”

Zhao Mingyuan said with a sneering face.

"Oh? So, Brother Mingyuan often participates in this kind of tea party? ”

Xia Fan was not angry, and still asked with a smile on his face.

"That's natural, since the university scholar retired from the court two years ago, and returned to our hometown in Qingyang City, in order to be able to discover more outstanding people from his hometown, he thought of holding a tea party to meet friends in this way, counting today, it is the eighth time. He is the only person in Qingyang City who has been invited to participate eight times. ”

Zhao Mingyuan talked about his pride, and his face involuntarily showed a proud look.

"Sounds like a great thing."

Xia Fan nodded a little uncertainly, he really had no idea about this so-called tea party, so he didn't understand what Zhao Mingyuan was showing off.

However, this reaction obviously made Zhao Mingyuan very dissatisfied, snorted coldly, looked at Xia Fan with disdain and said, "Telling you this is simply playing the piano to the cow." It's naturally impossible for a loser like you, who has a mind full of women, to understand. Let me tell you this, four of the previous seven tea parties were won by the same person, and the four scholars at the tea party were shocked, and then Scholar Chen directly recommended him to enter the Kyoto Dynasty in his private name! Not only did he save more than ten years of hard labor in the imperial examination, but he also went straight to heaven, so that the bosses of the court had an impression of him, and the benefits for his future promotion in the court were absolutely immeasurable. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Mingyuan's face obviously showed a look of envy, and after a little trance, he was replaced by a smug expression again, stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and continued: "Since that person left, I have become the most talented person in the previous tea parties, and I have won the first place in the tea party three times in a row...... Mr. Chan will definitely recommend me to Kyoto Chochu! ”

"I see, so it's really powerful."

Listening to Zhao Mingyuan's boasting, Xia Fan also understood various reasons.

For these scholars in Qingyang City, this is indeed an irresistible temptation, if they can really pass the recommendation of Chen University, save the trouble of the imperial examination, and directly enter the Kyoto Dynasty, for these scholars in Qingyang City, it is no less than a step to the sky!

Looking at Zhao Mingyuan's proud appearance, although Xia Fan always had a smile on his face that he couldn't see anything, he already had an idea in his heart.

Although it was only a coincidence...... But if it is a blockbuster at this tea party, it will be very beneficial.

The worst thing is that it can also disgust and disgust Zhao Mingyuan, isn't it?

Being able to anger someone you hate is also a pleasure in itself
