Chapter Seventy-One: It's All in the Trap

After this list, those who are the first jinshi naturally have to celebrate, not to celebrate at this time, but when. They usually choose to come to Liangyuan to celebrate, rather than go to the restaurant to celebrate, because on this day, the capital is full of candidates who have not passed the rank, if they go to the restaurant to celebrate, in case they meet that sad person, isn't this sprinkling salt on people's wounds.

Over time, this became an unwritten custom.

Most of these celebrations are these and the first Jinshi AA system, and tomorrow is the banquet set up by the Ministry of Rites.

The closest restaurant to Liang Yuan is Jinyulou, so they usually go to Jinyulou to buy wine and food.

And this is also very important for Jin Yulou, because Jin Yulou itself is a business for court officials, and these Jinshi are very likely to become ministers of the court in the future, and Zhou Feng usually takes this opportunity to have a good relationship with these Jinshi and give them a lot of preferential treatment.

However, this time it was a quick start, but the other party also had a lot of background, and Zhou Feng only dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, but he was more curious.

At this time, noon had passed, and I saw more than 30 people talking and laughing while coming to Liang Garden.

This year's Jinshi, the first three people, the second class has sixty-seven, and the third class is more than one hundred. And this time, Yang Daobin, the leader of the list, was born in a family of eunuchs and had money in his family, so he became the east and invited a lot of Jinshi to his house to celebrate, including Tanhua.

I saw several large long tables placed by the lake, each long table can seat more than ten people, dozens of slaves and maids are busy, and the smell of wine is coming to the nose.

"Who prepared this?"

One of the jinshi looked left and right.

The rest shook their heads, their faces full of confusion.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper stepped forward, first bowed, and then said, "Everyone must be this year's Jidi Jinshi, congratulations, congratulations." ”

I saw a man in his early thirties take a step forward and arch his hand, "Thank you, thank you." Who is your Excellency? ”

This person is the champion of this session, Tang Wenwen.

The butler hurriedly said, "We are all from the Three Musketeers. ”

A few days ago, the Three Musketeers shocked the capital with their art exhibitions, but this wave of people didn't know much, because it was close to the scientific expedition at that time, and they all ignored what was going on outside the window and were desperately studying in Wenshu.

A person behind Tang Wenwen muttered, "The Three Musketeers? It sounds familiar. ”

"The art exhibition some time ago was held by our Three Musketeers." The butler said.

Tang Wenwen still didn't know very well, and the exhibition had nothing to do with him, so he asked: "I take the liberty of asking, why are you holding a banquet here?" ”

The steward said, "Our proprietor knows that every session and the first jinshi will come here to celebrate, so we are holding a banquet to entertain you ....... ”

When Tang Wenwen heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Please wait for us to thank your proprietor, but this is useless, we understand your kindness and leave." ”

After all, they are all scholars, and they are all Jinshi now, so they will not accept this favor, but they will not say that they will let the people of the Three Musketeers leave, after all, this Liang Garden is not opened by his family.

"Everyone, please stay."

I saw a person come forward and bowed, "Under Liu Xinmou, he is one of the proprietors of the Three Musketeers, and I hope that all the new Jinshi will forgive me for the abruptness." ”

Today, Liu Xinmou is not dressed in flowers, but dressed as a scholar, after all, he is from a famous family, and he is really a bit of a scholar.

"Where, where, Your Excellency's kindness, we understand it, but we really can't accept this futility." Tang Wenwen said with a resolute expression.

Liu Xinmou smiled apologetically: "I won't tell you anything, in fact, we took the liberty to come here today to set up a banquet to entertain you, hoping to give you an interview." ”

"Interview?"

Tang Wenwen was slightly stunned, this word seemed to have never been heard.

Liu Xinmou nodded and said: "Here's the thing, we have seen that in every imperial examination, there are countless candidates who shed sad tears, but in fact, they are also like you, they have been studying hard for more than ten years, but they have not been able to do so, so we plan to make a special report on the imperial examination from this session." We are only shallow in learning, and in terms of learning, we can't help the candidates who are about to take the scientific examination, but we hope to be able to do some research in other aspects besides learning, for example, what to pay attention to when going to Beijing to catch the examination, and what precautions should be taken when preparing for the scientific examination.

Of course, the most important thing is that we hope to be able to share some of your experiences and experiences in the scientific examination with you, and share them with those candidates who are about to participate in the scientific examination, so that they can avoid some detours, and do not affect their own performance because of things other than learning, resulting in ten years of hard work and waste. ”

"I see."

Tang Wenwen suddenly realized, admiration is spontaneous, said: "All along, the world has been paying attention to our and the first Jinshi scenery, but few people know how hard we candidates are, how much effort we have paid, to get to this point, even those who have not passed the first, should also be respected, it is rare that Your Excellency can understand us candidates, it is really ......." ”

Speaking of this, recalling that when he was studying hard and no one cared about him, he couldn't help himself, and couldn't help but stretch his body and said: "I hope Your Excellency can bear with me when I am disrespectful." ”

The champion is still like this, and the jinshi behind him also saluted one after another to show their respect.

"How dare you, how dare you."

Liu Xinmou was sincerely afraid to return the salute, and said: "We also hope to do our best, and I hope that you can give me advice." ”

Tang Wenwen looked back at the others, and the others nodded one after another, speaking of this, if you don't want to, you have to agree, otherwise, others will not scold them for being narrow-minded and not being good for others. In addition, this sounds quite high, and it also helps their fame, once these experiences and experiences are shared with everyone, candidates will not have to know themselves in the future, killing two birds with one stone, why not.

Tang Wenwen asked again: "I don't know what I should do?" ”

He was a little apprehensive before he had been interviewed.

Liu Xinmou smiled: "Actually, it's very simple, we will send someone to ask you some questions, just like the usual chat, everyone can sit down and chat while drinking, today is a good day, of course, celebration should be put in the first place." ”

Tang Wenwen said: "Then I'll just let the host do whatever I want." ”

Although he is the champion, he is very modest, which shows that this person has a high level of cultivation, and the champion in the middle is also reasonable.

Under Liu Xinmou's hospitality, everyone sat down one after another, and the slaves and maids immediately served delicious food and wine, and saw a group of young people dressed as scholars and a maid with the four treasures of the study room stepped forward and began to interview them one-on-one, without saying that the champion would take special care, which made everyone feel very comfortable. But in fact, there is something special, the interview with Tang Wenwen was carefully selected by Guo Dan.

I saw that after this person reported to his home, he asked Tang Wenwen: "Dare to ask where is the champion?" ”

"Oh, it's a native of Huating in Songjiang Mansion." Tang Wenwen still seemed a little nervous.

This pavilion will be in Shanghai in the future.

"It turned out to be a Huating person, I heard that Huating is the land of fish and rice, rich in products, everyone is a studious person, I wonder if the champion can introduce his hometown?"

"Absolutely."

Speaking of his hometown, Tang Wenwen was proud and talked endlessly, and when he saw that the man recorded his words on the paper word by word, he understood what was going on with this interview, and after drinking this wine, the whole person gradually relaxed, and the conversation began.

......

"Oh? The champion said that his hometown is rich in fine wine, and he must be a wine lover if he wants to come. ”

"I also drink some on weekdays, but everything is still in moderation, and I still can't drink too much wine."

"But I think I should be able to drink it today."

"Hehe......."

"I wonder what the champion thinks of this wine?"

Tang Wenwen took another sip and said: "This wine is slightly sour and bitter in the mouth, but after tasting it carefully, it is sweet and mellow, which makes people have an endless aftertaste, and it is really a first-class wine." ”

The man smiled and said, "When I heard the champion say this, I think of someone." ”

"Who?"

"It's you."

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"The champion said, this wine is slightly sour and bitter, but after tasting, it is sweet and mellow, and the champion is studying hard at home, which must have all kinds of sour and bitter, and now the champion of high school, since it is bitter and sweet, it seems that this wine and the champion is quite fateful!"

Tang Wenwen was stunned when he heard this, and immediately raised his glass and said arrogantly: "A good sentence of bitterness, haha, I toast you." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

.....

Among the groves behind them, an old man and a young man stood, watching the Jinshi by the lake.

This old and young are Xu Mengxuan and Guo Dan.

"Alas...!"

Xu Mengxi suddenly sighed and said: "These people are all protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, and they are also the smartest young people in my Ming Dynasty, but they were played with by you as a little boy, and I don't know if this is my Ming's sorrow." ”

Guo Dan rolled his eyes and said: "Uncle, what you said is too ugly, what is it called playing with the palms, what do you say they will lose because of this?" Not only will they not lose, but they will also be able to make a name for themselves in a short period of time, they are really worthy of the smartest young people in my Ming Dynasty, small opportunities, can be firmly grasped, wow, it is really admirable. ”

"Really?"

Xu Mengxi sneered and said, "If you really think about the candidates, then that's fine, but what are you doing this for, you know it in your heart, but they don't know at all, this is not playing with the palm of your hand, what it is." ”

Bah, you old fox is really on your nose. Guo Dan's expression changed, and he suddenly became excited, "Uncle is right, I still want to play with them in the palm of my hand, is the champion amazing, in my Guo Tongsheng's eyes, he is also an ordinary person, I don't care if this is my sorrow, I am the son-in-law of a businessman, I only know, take people's money, eliminate disasters for others, and give more money, it's no problem to rebel." ”

Rebel?

Xu Mengxi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately puffed out his eyes and glared at Guo Dan, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly found that even if this ugly side was exposed, the culprit was him, and he couldn't help but suddenly realize that he was also a person in the trap, hey, this is really on the thief ship. whispered again: "Shut up, you kid, are you trying to kill the old man?" ”

Guo Dan said aggrievedly: "Uncle, you can't blame me for this, I wanted to say that we were calling on everyone to care about the candidates, but Uncle, you like to listen to this big truth." ”

"What big truth? What big truth? Xu Mengxuan shouted two sentences, foaming at the mouth, and said: "You remember, the truth is that we are calling on everyone to care about the candidates." ”
