Chapter 116: Tea Party

When she came to Fengyue Villa, the doorman neither invited her in, nor did she say that Hua Manlou was there, but only asked her to wait.

After a while, Qiyun came over and said: "Young Master Xia, it's really unfortunate that you came, my son-in-law is accompanying the distinguished guests, and I'm afraid I don't have any leisure in the past two days." ”

Xia Chen said: "Then I won't bother much, but please ask Miss Qiyun to speak for me, saying that I want to know how to solve the poison of Netherworld Gu, if your son-in-law knows, ask him to see me in his busy schedule or write a letter to me." She keenly felt that the attitude of the doorman was different from before, and saw the rejection on Qiyun's face, and there was only one reason why they were so to themselves, it seemed that Hua Manlou still refused to open his heart after all.

Hearing this, Qiyun was suspicious: "Netherworld Gu? Why did Xia Gongzi inquire about such a treacherous and strange poisonous thing? ”

Xia Chen hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Miss Qiyun knows?" ”

Qiyun said: "I heard my son-in-law mention it, he said that this Gu can be described as the most vicious Gu in the world, and there is no cure in this world. ”

Xia Chen was not very surprised to hear this, but he still couldn't help but be a little disappointed, even Hua Manlou said that there is no cure in the world, and the poison of Shang Wuchen is really hopeless. But that day Shang Wuchen once said that he should have died a long time ago, and the reason why he lived until now was because of ...... Because he was interrupted by King Ge without waiting for an explanation, so it seems that King Ge is aware, and his poison is at least a medicine that can be controlled.

"Miss Qiyun, since your son-in-law has mentioned this poison, with your son-in-law's medical knowledge, he must have some understanding of poison, and maybe there is a way to control it, please leave this matter to me."

Qiyun bowed and said, "Qiyun has written it down, and wait for the distinguished guest to leave." I immediately relayed the matter to my son-in-law. ”

Xia Chen nodded: "Then I'll say goodbye first, and I'll visit another day." ”

Qiyun said: "Xia Gongzi walks slowly." ”

Seeing Xia Chen get into the carriage, Qiyun immediately retreated to the door. Signal the doorman to close the door.

"Qiyun, who is it?" Hua Manlou happened to come over from the verandah and asked.

Qiyun lowered his head and said, "Yes...... It's asking for directions. ”

"Oh? How can someone who asks for directions come to the door? A hint of disappointment flashed in Hua Manlou's eyes.

Qiyun said: "Because no one happened to pass by on the street, I knocked on the door and asked." ”

Hua Manlou didn't say anything, walked slowly towards the hall, but stopped and turned around when he reached the door: "Go to the cellar and get two jars of wine." ”

Qiyun was stunned: "Why does Childe suddenly want to drink?" But Hua Manlou had already entered the house, so she had to turn around and go to get the wine.

Xia Chen asked the coachman: "Where do most of the students who come to take the exam near the capital live?" ”

The coachman said: "I usually live in Yongning Lane. ”

Xia Chen said: "Go to Yongning Lane." ”

While chatting with the coachman, Xia Chen learned from the coachman that the reason why these students gathered in Yongning Lane. On the one hand, because there are more inns and restaurants there, and the consumption is not high, on the other hand, because there is a Mingxiang tea house in Yongning Lane. The owner of the teahouse is a good man and a famous Confucian, and every time there is a scientific examination, he will hold a tea party to talk about poetry and papers with these students, and will also give financial assistance to students from difficult families.

The coachman said: "There is Yongning Lane ahead." Childe wants to find a restaurant to eat? The villain knows a few good ones. ”

Xia Chen looked out: "It's still early to eat at this time." Let's go to Mingxiang Tea House. ”

"Okay."

Passing by Huiweiju, seeing that the door of the store was sealed, Xia Chen felt bad for a while, and she planned to turn around and ask Wei Han to see if she could buy this store.

Mingxiang Tea House is located at the end of Yongning Lane, with gray walls and blue tiles, doors and windows painted with green paint to reveal the background color of the logs, and the window paper is snow-white. It looks very elegant.

At this time, there were many cars and horses outside the door, and people gathered here one after another. The coachman said, "If the son wants to participate in the tea party." It couldn't have come at a better time. ”

Xia Chen jumped out of the carriage and took out two taels of silver and handed it to the coachman: "I used your carriage today, is this silver enough?" ”

The coachman happily took the money: "Enough, these are enough for a three-day car." ”

Xia Chen smiled: "I'll only cover it for one day, and I will reward you for the extra ones." ”

"Thank you, Childe, I'm waiting for Childe here."

Xia Chen came to the teahouse, the seats in the hall were placed in a circle, and there was a bookcase in the middle, at this time the surroundings were full of people, but the bookcase was empty, Xia Chen thought that this should be prepared for the master's family here, right?

There were a few seats by the window that had not moved, Xia Chen chose a place to sit down and let Dr. Tea serve a pot of tea, and just after drinking a cup, he saw a tall, white-haired old man wearing a white robe, with a dignified face coming in from outside the door.

The hall fell silent all of a sudden, and many students got up and saluted the old man: "Mr. Ge." ”

The old man slowly walked to the bookcase and sat down: "Everyone, the questions in this children's exam are indeed too difficult, but they are not unruly, it is better to wait for the announcement of the results." ”

A yellow-faced young man said, "Mr. Ge, if anyone can answer such test questions, there must be ghosts." ”

"yes." "yes." His words were immediately echoed.

The white-haired old man smiled indifferently: "Hehe, if you read all the books, how can you not answer." ”

Many people looked ashamed, but some people were still unconvinced: "Mr. Ge, it is not an exaggeration to use such a deviant question in the state examination and the Ministry of Rites examination, but it is really difficult for a child to come up with this question." ”

The white-haired old man nodded: "That's not bad, but it's better to wait for the joint book, after all, the questioner is not at fault for making this question." ”

The yellow-faced young man said: "Then wait for two more days, and see how many people can be on the list!" ”

Xia Chen heard this and said loudly: "If everyone can answer the test questions, there is no need to take the test, there has always been no shortage of young talents in the Great Cloud Country, why are they just some pretentious people here?" ”

Only then did the yellow-faced young man notice Xia Chen by the window: "Who are you?" What do you mean by that? Did you answer the question? ”

Xia Chen poured tea and said: "I didn't participate in this scientific expedition, but I know that there are at least three people in Anyang City who can answer this question. ”

The yellow-faced young man said, "Which three?" ”

Xia Chen took a sip of tea: "You are really lonely, didn't you hear the son of the Qin Mansion say that he is the only one who won the children's test this time?" ”

The yellow-faced young man snorted, "He! What kind of ...... is he?" he changed his words at this point: "And who are the other two?" ”

Xia Chen stood up: "You will see it on the day the list is revealed." ”

The white-haired old man stopped Xia Chen: "This prince stays, did the prince of the Qin Mansion really say such things?" ”

Xia Chen turned his head and smiled: "Naturally, how dare you talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and I also believe that the first name in this children's test must be Qin Gongzi." At the gate of the Gongyuan that day, she heard the whispers of Qin Guijie and Gao Gongzi. Although Qin Guijie is a little scheming, but in the end, he is arrogant and competitive, there were rumors that slandered him before, he must be anxious to silence those people and make those people happy and convinced of him, but he has gone too far.

"Even if he can answer the question, he can't boast that he must be the first name, right?" Someone questioned.

"That's it, unless ......," said the yellow-faced young man, looking at the old man.

The white-haired old man pondered for a moment, then got up and turned to go upstairs, leaving all the students looking at each other.

Xia Chen didn't stay any longer, she felt that this was enough, everyone here should be thinking the same thing at this time. (To be continued......)
