Although Chen Xiao debunked that the fat man was rubbing rice, he didn't blush at all, but ate as he should.

While eating, he said:

"Brother Tai, you don't know, my little brother is poor in my family, and my parents sold all the cattle that ploughed the fields in order to let me study...... I really don't have any money, so I'm here to eat some of your leftovers......"

As he spoke, he deliberately wiped away his non-existent tears.

Chen Xiao looked at the fat man in silk and satin, and said, "Do you think I believe it or not?" ”

"Guess I guess you believe it or not?" The fat man asked rhetorically.

"Your kid is better dressed than me, and the bulging waist is estimated to be silver, and you are crying poor with me?" Chen Xiao rolled his eyes.

The fat man said: "Having money and rubbing food are two different things, as the saying goes, eat your parents at home, go out to eat friends, only if you do these two things, at home or out, you will not starve." ”

Chen Xiao pouted: "It's not going to be starving, I'm afraid you'll be beaten......"

"It's okay, I'm thick!" The fat man said.

Chen Xiao was convinced: "It's so shameless......"

"Won the prize...... "The fat man laughed.

Chen Xiao shook his head, and then heard the fat man say again: "Brother Tai, are you going to live here today?" ”

"Hmm!" Chen Xiao nodded.

The fat man smiled: "Coincidentally, I plan to do the same." ”

Chen Xiao had a bad premonition, this guy wouldn't be eating and sleeping, right?

Sure enough: "Then the brother will pay for the house later, why don't you pay the younger brother smoothly?" Otherwise, the little brother has nowhere to sleep, so it's not good to sleep with you......"

It's really shameless, but Chen Xiao is not the one who suffers, so he smiled: "Acquaintance is fate, naturally no problem." ”

As he spoke, Chen Xiao was about to go over to pay for the meal and open the room, but suddenly his face changed and he said:

"Huh?"

The fat man hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my brother?" ”

"I was separated from my friend before, and the money is still with him, so I can only get it tomorrow." Chen Xiao said.

The fat man asked, "What then?" ”

Chen Xiao thought for a while: "Brother, everyone is an honest person, why don't you pay in advance, I will ask for the money for this meal and accommodation, and I will return it to you tomorrow when I get the money." ”

"It's okay, I'll pay first!" As he spoke, the fat man took out the money and paid the bill, and opened three houses.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh, this kid is very shameless, but his brain is not very good.

The three of them each stayed in the restaurant and rested for a while.

When it was late, the three of them had dinner again, and the fat man paid for it.

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling got up, the fat man also got up, the three of them had breakfast, and Chen Xiao said that he would report to the Gongyuan.

The fat man was stunned for a moment and asked Chen Xiao: "Brother Tai, didn't you go to your friend's place to get the silver first?" ”

Chen Xiao said, "Oh, no need, I found silver in the baggage last night. ”

The fat man's eyes lit up and said, "That's it, brother, yesterday's two meals plus accommodation included breakfast, and I paid a total of 500 wen." ”

Chen Xiao nodded: "Oh, the consumption is very high!" ”

The fat man smiled: "Inside...... What about money? ”

Chen Xiao: "Money? What money? ”

The fat man was stunned: "Okay, you invited it, I just paid in advance?" You said you'd give it to me? ”

Chen Xiao looked at Long Jiuling and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Long Jiuling shook his head: "No! ”

The fat man froze and opened his mouth: "No...... Didn't you? ”

Chen Xiao: "I don't know, don't look for me, I forgot~"

The fat man was anxious: "How can you do this?" ”

Chen Xiao said seriously: "As the so-called eating parents at home, eating friends when going out, brother, you taught me!" ”

The fat man said in despair, "You...... You're cheaper than me~"

Chen Xiao smiled: "Each other!" ”

As soon as he spoke, Long Jiuling followed Chen Xiao and smiled.

The fat man was stunned, and then gritted his teeth: "I met my opponent......"

So he took a few steps to catch up, and he decided that he had to pull back a game.

Out of the restaurant, it didn't take long to arrive at the Imperial Capital's Tribute Courtyard, which is a place where many scholars in the Imperial Capital Mansion study, and those who come here to study are basically Xiucai.

Of course, at the previous level, to become a lifter, it is not to study here, but to go to the country.

Guozijian is equivalent to a national talent training place.

Basically, if you enter the Guozijian, even if you don't have the status of a talent, you will be a future official.

Guozijian generally accepts outstanding talents or people to the outside world, and the children of some officials, emperors, relatives and relatives can go directly to study inside.

When they arrived at the Gongyuan, Chen Xiao and the fat man registered in the Gongyuan with their respective documents, and notified them that half a month later, it was the time for the township test.

In this half a month, most of the talented men who want to take the exam will hurry up to study.

It is rare to see someone like Chen Xiao and the fat man who are so leisurely and leisurely.

Chen Xiao is not only leisurely, after leaving the Tribute Courtyard, he also thinks about where to play, after all, his father gave him a lot of silver, and he is now a rich second generation, why not have fun?

Therefore, in the afternoon of the same day, the fat man was the guide, taking Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling to play in the imperial capital.

However, the Imperial Capital Palace.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the ninth princess has already returned to the imperial capital, otherwise ......"

"No need, this deep palace is not the place where she wants to stay for a long time, rather than looking at a stinky face every day in the palace, I hope she can fly freely and happily as she imagined."

After the emperor finished speaking, he got up from the dragon chair and suddenly said:

"In this palace, some people want Jiu'er to marry and marry. Some people don't want Jiu'er to marry and get married. Only the small number of people who don't care if she goes to kiss or not will not do Jiu'er any harm. ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard looked confused when he heard this, and the old eunuch on the side probably understood the meaning, and his face changed slightly.

"Instead of letting Jiu'er be the target of their intrigue in the palace, you might as well let her be outside and be at ease!" The emperor added.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard nodded: "The ministers will send masters to continue to protect!" ”

"Well, by the way, you said that kid named Chen Xiao is going to take the exam? Look at him, how sure are you? "The emperor is not happy and curious about this young man who abducted his daughter!

"Back to Your Majesty, my men have heard him say many times that he will be ...... to be lifted," replied the Janissary Commander.

The emperor frowned: "So confident? Or is it overconfidence? ”

"The subordinates who protect the Ninth Princess under their hands say that they have never seen this kid read and study, but he can speak well, and it is said that he is good at poetry, and he is very favored by the professors of Confucianism in the imperial capital, and he is specially recommended to enter the autumn festival."

The emperor was puzzled: "Haven't you read often, and you are confident that you can be lifted?" This man...... It's really unpredictable, so we'll see.

If you don't hit the lift at that time, hum, it will be disappointing. If you win...... It shows that it is indeed a talent, and it doesn't hurt to give him an official to sit on! ”

The commander of the Praetorian Guard did not reply, and the emperor waved him away, and then said to the old eunuch:

"Biography, Professor of Confucianism in the Imperial Capital!"

The old eunuch was shocked and glanced at the emperor, he had followed the emperor for so many years, and understood that the emperor would never pay too much attention to anyone.

But obviously, he was very interested in the kid named Chen Xiao.
