Qian Zheng knows that people's emotions are like springs, the tighter they are pressed and the longer they last, the stronger the rebound will be...... He didn't know about springs, though.

Therefore, Qian Zheng understands the indulgence of the candidates after the examination, but he feels that he is outdated.

What will the vast majority of candidates do after the examination?

Those who have calm will wait silently for the release of the list, those who know that they have no hope will be drunk, and those who have no money will gnaw on steamed buns and look forward to it, but more candidates will go to the Qinglou Chu Hall.

On the one hand, it's because I've been holding it for a long time, even if it's a candidate from Beizhili, I have to come to the capital a month in advance, if it's from Yungui and Qiongzhou, then it's needless to say, it's normal to bring an entourage and a scholar, but you can always bring your wife and concubine to catch the exam.

On the other hand, although the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Tang and Song dynasties, the Qinlou Chu Pavilion is still the most important channel for those scholars to sing poetry and become famous.

But after this year's exams...... How many old bustards in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou are scolding, pointing to the triennial time when they make a lot of money, and how many new girls are waiting, but there are few people who come to the door.

Well, maybe Qian Yuan was scolded the worst, after all, he made mahjong in advance, and Yan Shifan was no better, it was he who vigorously promoted mahjong in Beijing, and Xu Wei, who promoted mahjong among the scholars in the conference halls.

Compared with other card games in this era, mahjong can undoubtedly sweep the opponent into the garbage heap of history, whether it is fun, tense and exciting, mahjong is much stronger than similar leaf plays, horse hangings, and it has swept the whole capital in a short period of time.

Well, Qian Yuan may be called the "Mahjong Patriarch" for hundreds of years......

Rubbing his face vigorously, Qian Yuan picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a fried dumpling, "Uncle, it's just a few days, it's good to release the list." ”

Qian Zheng's face was a little ugly, and he wondered if he should write a letter back and let his sister-in-law enter Beijing...... Forget it, my sister-in-law can still control this guy, by the way, my father-in-law Lu Shusheng has already expired my filial piety period, and he should be reinstated, he can manage it!

You can't blame Qian Zheng for thinking so, he was laughed at in the yamen yesterday and had no place to hide, these days, Suiyuan is a big gambling house.

Forget about the gambling house, Xu Wei patted his chest and said that the mahjong world is dominant in the garden, so the candidates from the conference hall came to challenge the ......

Now in the garden, there are at least twenty mahjong tables, Qian Zheng put the Ya to take a look yesterday, Tao Dalin, who has always been calm and quiet, shouted "one color clear", and the face of the Shandong people on the opposite side was pale......

Qian Yuan hurriedly finished breakfast, threw two handfuls of Xiao Hei to Keqing, and went to Suiyuan, as soon as he entered, he was pulled onto the mahjong table, with the passage of time, day and night rubbing mahjong, there have been many mahjong masters, Qian Yuan is no longer feared.

What is surprising is that the strongest in Suiyuan is actually Tao Dalin, followed by Wu Dui, and Chen Younian again, the previous peerless double pride Xu Wei and Qian Yuan could not enter the top three.

"Zhancai, I'll return that piece of ink to you later." Tao Dalin casually typed out, "Fifty thousand." ”

"I'll wait until tomorrow when the list is released." Qian Yuan smiled and pushed down the two cards, "Just eat one, three, forty or fifty thousand." ”

"Is there any exquisiteness?"

"Of course, if it doesn't matter if Du Dengke does, then Luo Huimo will be given to Brother Yu Chen." Qian Yuan shrugged, "Brother Yu Chen's Dengke is nine out of ten, if I fall off the list, this piece of ink will be kept for three years and used later, with a bit of literary atmosphere." ”

Sun Ling and Xian Yan, who were at the same table, nodded again and again, at Tao Dalin's level, they didn't dare to say the first class, but a second class jinshi was afraid that he wouldn't be able to run away.

"By the way, it is said that the ...... of Nalanzhou Zou Yinglong has a bit of background? Tao Dalin said casually: "There is a hall official in the Ministry of Rites who openly said that this scholar is reckless and undignified. ”

"Let him talk to Zhenchuan Gong about this!"

"Hey, Zhenchuan Gong really may not be on your side."

"That's it, when I came to Suiyuan that day, Zhenchuan Gong's face was pale......"

"That's because he didn't serve the table, he turned around and pulled Zhenchuan Gong up and rubbed it twice......" Qian Yuan sighed and threw out the card he had just touched, "I knew that I didn't need to eat that 50,000 yuan, so I touched it again." ”

"That's not necessarily, you can't touch ...... if you don't eat it."

"Hu!" Tao Dalin of the upper family pushed the card, "One color is clear." ”

Qian Yuan's face turned white, this guy can get several handfuls of one color clear almost every day, it won't be cheating.

"No, the 50,000 yuan just now was released by Brother Yu Chen."

Xian Yan was still confused, Qian Yuan understood that Tao Dalin was a ghost and a ghost, this was for fear that others would not let go of ten thousand words.

Playing mahjong, it can be said that time flies, the white horse passes by, and it is gone in the blink of an eye for a day and a night.

The next day was March 1st, which was the day of the trial release, and early in the morning, everyone got up and waited regardless of whether they knew how to rub hemp or not.

"You're not going back to the Zhejiang Guild Hall?" Qian Yuan looked around.

Generally speaking, those who report the good news go directly to the conference halls.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Younian's face tightened, "Everyone in the hall knows that we are in Suiyuan." ”

Qian Yuan tried to ease the tense atmosphere, looking left and right: "Then you have to prepare the reward, I won't pay this money." ”

Sun Yan said with a smile: "Zhancai, the restaurant is making money every day, and you are reluctant to pay this bit of silver?" ”

"Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, and my brother is still settling accounts." Qian Yuan rolled his eyes, "You Zhongjinshi, you still want me, who is eighty percent off the list, to make money, how can there be such a reason in the world." ”

"Eighty?" Xu Wei habitually said, "Zhancai, you are too complacent." ”

"Brother Wen, Brother Zhancai is talking about eighty percent of the list."

"Yes, no slip of the tongue."

The sound of laughter sounded, and Qian Yuan stabbed back, "Don't laugh at me, Senior Brother Wen is not much better than me this time...... Everybody gets the idea. ”

Chen Younian nodded again and again, "The Yangtze River is mighty, how can a small pond accommodate the talents of the next generation." ”

"Brother Wen, if you fail this time, and go to Beijing again in three years, the younger brother will give you a blow to the back of the head?"

Xu Wei was like fifteen buckets in his heart, and his mouth was hard like something, claiming that if he failed this time, he would not go to Beijing to take the exam...... Before he finished speaking, he was covered by the kind Xian Yan, and he was almost suffocated to death.

"Come on, come on, now it's all your own family, just sit down." Xu Wei pushed away a few people who still wanted to make fun of him, and sat at the mahjong table, "Who dares to come?!" ”

Qian Yuan glanced at Xu Wei thoughtfully, they were all from his own family, and this sentence was meaningful.

So many friends didn't go to the guild hall and wait for the news, and even Sun Yan, Sun Ling, and Pan Yunduan, the children of the official eunuchs whose fathers served in Beijing, were all in Suiyuan, which seemed very strange to outsiders.

As early as two months ago, there were many candidates from Shaoxing, Hangzhou, and Songjiang in the garden, and some people proposed that everyone set up a literary club.

In the southeast, the literary society is very popular, as few as two or three people, more than ten people, generally speaking, they are like-minded, such as Xu Wei, Shen Lian's ten sons of Yuezhong, and such as Qian Yuan's great-ancestor Qian Fu's Huating three masters.

But Qian Yuan refused, he knew that his identity was a little inconvenient, not to mention the rest, he didn't know which side he would be attached to in the future, and now the situation was mysterious and changeable, and he really didn't want his friends to get involved.

However, Qian Yuan underestimated his own weight.

Huating, Hangzhou, and Shaoxing were all attacked by the Japanese invaders all the year round, and these scholars were the most distressed about this, most of them were children of the family, and they knew very well the role played by Qian Yuan in the southeast war.

Especially in the great victory of Shaoxing last year, the old lady of Tianzhou wolf soldiers, who made great contributions, claimed that if it were not for Qian Zhancai's bothering to plan, Tian Zhoubing would have returned to his hometown long ago.

Tian Zhoubing is now very famous in the southeast, originally stationed in Huating, Jiaxing, moved to Hangzhou, Shaoxing in the second half of last year, there are many gains, this period is also with the garden Wu Dui went to Beijing to go to Beijing before the examination also specially wrote a long poem.

And Mrs. Wa's words pushed Qian Yuan's fame to the peak.

In their opinion, Huating Qian Yuan Qian Zhancai, although young, but talented, although not out of office, but has the heart to help the world, and the talent of military strategy, unparalleled integrity, more love and righteousness, for Xu Wei did not hesitate to coerce Jinyi Wei to visit the south is proof.

Although Qian Yuan refused, Xu Wei found another way and started a mahjong club after the test, and everyone joined in after laughing.

Under Xu Wei's hints or explicit instructions, intentionally or unintentionally, scholars from Shaoxing, Huating and other places who often go in and out of Suiyuan have surrounded Qian Yuan.

Qian Yuan's eyes swept over one by one, some of these people's names he knew in his previous life, some of which he had heard of for a long time in this life, and some of whom had never been remembered before but were familiar at first sight......

Chen Younian's fortitude and determination, Tao Dalin's calm and generous, Zhu Dashou's old morality, Xu Wei, who is completely different from history, as well as Xian Yan, Wu Dui, Pan Yunduan, Sun Yan, Sun Ling, Yang Quan, Lu Yipeng, Xia Shi, Zhou Shi......
