Chapter 222: A Whim

I have to say that the shopkeeper is attentive, otherwise the wine and food would not have been served so quickly.

The two little two took the steaming wine and food and carefully arranged it, which was the first batch of dishes to be served.

"A few masters use it slowly!"

When Xiao Er retreated, Chen Xiaoting said to everyone: "Eat first, and do it slowly later!" ”

Everyone immediately raised their glasses and toasted Chen Xiaoting with the first glass of wine, which became a common practice.

Although Chen Xiaoting himself persuaded them to eat and drink, he was still thinking about the Chen family, and this time he really didn't expect to have eyebrows.

Although I don't know why the Zhou family will give more money, as long as something is wrong, there will be a direction for finding out the truth later.

"This wine is good today, let's keep drinking!" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile.

But the topic at the wine table still did not bypass the Chen family, and how to start the investigation of the Zhou family became the main issue of discussion.

In the end, everyone had a good time.

"Let's go!" Chen Xiaoting stood up and lifted the untied saber.

Liu Jianping and the others also got up and followed Chen Xiaoting to the outside of the box, and no one mentioned the bill.

But when Chen Xiaoting was about to go down the stairs, he saw a young man in the lobby below, carrying a bookcase and checking out.

The first thing that attracted Chen Xiaoting was the chic bookcase, and then he looked at the young man's face, an ordinary but slightly familiar face.

Immediately, the young man left, but Chen Xiaoting still stood there and wondered if he had seen this person.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Shepherd Ge asked behind his back.

After being stunned for a few breaths, Chen Xiaoting remembered his impression of the young man from his long memory.

This man is also one of his hair miners...... Chen Yongyi, a scholar who is incompatible with them.

"Let's go ......," Chen Xiaoting said calmly.

After all, he met an old friend, so Chen Xiaoting planned to go up and say hello.

After going down the stairs, the shopkeeper enthusiastically stepped forward and asked, "Can you eat and drink well?"

After all, after eating other people's white food, Chen Xiaoting still had to say a few words, so he smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, your wine and food are really good, the brothers all say that the shopkeeper is well-treated, and I want to make friends with you!"

Of course, this was a polite remark, but the shopkeeper still replied with a smile: "Just eat it!"

"Next time!" Chen Xiaoting said again, and immediately made the shopkeeper's smile dry.

"A few people walk slowly, walk slowly......" The shopkeeper almost wanted to cry.

There are only two sentences here in the shopkeeper, and there is no delay in time, so after Chen Xiaoting left the inn, it was easy to find Chen Yongyi's bookcase and himself not far away.

"Yongyi ......," Chen Xiaoting shouted.

Chen Yongyi suddenly stopped, glanced back a little blankly, and also easily saw Chen Xiaoting in an official uniform.

So Chen Yongyi smiled and replied, "Brother Ting, it turned out to be you!" ”

Although Chen Xiaoting is a traverser, after all, he has inherited the memory of the original body, and he is naturally a little close to Chen Yongyi.

Chen Xiaoting approached with his subordinates, patted Chen Yongyi on the shoulder and said, "Why did you come to Luyang, why didn't you say a word before you came?" ”

In the past few months, Chen Xiaoting has visited his parents twice and left his address in Luyang.

As long as Chen Yongyi wants to defect to him, he only needs to go to his house and ask, but the current Chen Yongyi did not do this.

Looking at Chen Xiaoting, who was full of pride, although Chen Yongyi already had a talent and fame, he still felt that he was the other party's little brother.

But it's a pity that he and Chen Xiaoting are destined to be unable to preserve their friendship.

What Chen Xiaoting did to the scholars in Guangde Mansion at the beginning made his reputation among the scholars in Guangde completely ruined, and he was a little better than teaching Lu Zhengquan.

"Lu Yang has been preparing for the exam these days, so I didn't think about bothering you, Brother Ting!" Chen Yongyi replied, which was somewhat unnatural.

Although Chen Xiaoting noticed this, he didn't take it to heart, but he just said that he hadn't seen any life for a long time.

"Just arrived in Luyang today? Have you had lunch? Chen Xiaoting said.

In fact, this is the way to find something, people just left from the restaurant.

Chen Yongyi replied: "I just arrived, I just had lunch, and I'm going to find an inn to stay in soon!" ”

So Chen Xiaoting said: "Go to the inn to live?" Where do you want to go to me? ”

Chen Yongyi politely refused: "Thank you Brother Ting, but I have already made an appointment with my classmates at the inn, but it is not easy to miss the appointment!" ”

"After the government exam and the hospital exam, the township exam is not far away, and the younger brother has to concentrate on preparing for the exam!" Chen Yongyi said.

After the three examinations of the county government and the institute, a new batch of talents can be examined, and the township examination is almost at the end of September.

"You're here so early, wouldn't it be nearly a month to wait?" Chen Xiaoting asked.

Chen Yongyi nodded, and then said: "Discussing knowledge with my classmates is not too long!" ”

At this time, Chen Xiaoting smiled, and then sighed: "I still envy you scholars, you can sit in a high position with the help of a pen......"

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting also looked back at his subordinates and said: "What do you think of us, doing the work of licking blood with a knife, but rolling in the mud all our lives!" ”

Listening to Chen Xiaoting say this, Chen Yongyi couldn't help but be a little speechless, your means are much more majestic than those of a scholar.

The last time the scholars connected to each other, Chen Yongyi originally wanted to participate, but he was grounded at home by his father, otherwise Chen Yongyi would have been beaten badly.

To say that there is no guilt for Chen Xiaoting in his heart is definitely a lie, but after all, he is a friend from childhood to adulthood, and Chen Yongyi will not be unpleasant.

So Chen Yongyi said: "Brother Ting said there, there are thousands of scholars in the world, who can guarantee that he will be on the emperor's list!" ”

Chen Xiaoting encouraged: "With Yongyi's knowledge, it is not a problem to take the Jinshi exam, and when the time comes, you will become a big official, don't forget to bring us these old knowledge!" ”

After all, Chen Yongyi has not experienced much in the world, and after being praised by Chen Xiaoting, he didn't know how to answer.

As to whether he can be admitted to the Jinshi, no scholar dares to pack a ticket, and Chen Yongyi is no exception.

In the end, Chen Yongyi could only say: "Brother Ting has promoted me, and the younger brother is now only looking forward to being on the list of township exams, and I haven't thought about taking the palace exam!" ”

Chen Xiaoting didn't know how to continue the topic that was too professional, and it was actually very embarrassing to talk about it here.

Chen Yongyi still said: "Brother Ting, I still have something, so I won't talk about it much!" ”

Although he didn't say goodbye, the meaning was already obvious, so Chen Xiaoting said: "Okay, come to me if you have something in the future, just go to Sanqi Lane in Beicheng!" ”

Chen Yongyi nodded, and then said, "If you are free in the future, you will definitely go over to the house to disturb!" ”

"Alright, there you go...... In the future, I will invite you to drink, just like we did at the beginning! Chen Xiaoting said with a smile.

Hearing these words, Chen Yongyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, some things are difficult to go back to.

Chen Xiaoting is no longer the original child king, and he Chen Yongyi is not the original follower.

But Chen Yongyi still smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Ting!" ”

The two finally said goodbye, looking at Chen Yongyi's distant back, Chen Xiaoting's inner thoughts were also complicated.

He could also feel that this intersection was no longer the same as it was at the beginning.

"My lord, shall we go back?" Shepherd Ge asked from the side.

I saw Chen Xiaoting talking happily with a scholar, which made Mu Changge and the others very puzzled, how could Jin Yiwei have a relationship with the rotten Confucians?

But at this time, what Chen Xiaoting thought in his heart was, since the time for the township test was approaching, would the father and son of the Xu family also arrive in Luyang?

After all, he heard Xu Youhui say that his father and brother are also famous, and they are like crazy about getting a lifter.

"Zhang Ertie......" Chen Xiaoting said.

"The subordinates are here!" Zhang Ertie bowed and replied.

Chen Xiaoting said: "A few of you inquire in Nancheng if there is any news about Miss Xu's family, and tell me if you hear it!" ”
