Chapter XVII

Three days later, Gao Lang, Gao Yu, and Gao Jing wore new clothes and drove to the mansion in a carriage with Pan An and Xu Qing. got off the car at the entrance of the palace, and was led to the door of the banquet hall by the official who had been waiting at the door for a long time: "Ladies and gentlemen, the order of the banquet hall is arranged according to the ranking of your college examination, you can find your own seats, if you have any requirements, you can order the maids in the hall, and the villain will send you here." Then he bowed and left.

Gao Jing and the others walked into the banquet hall and sat down according to their ranks. Fortunately, Gao Jing and Pan An sat next to each other, Gao Yu and Xu Qing sat next to each other, only Gao Lang was alone, fortunately, there were a few seats away from Gao Jing and Pan An, so it would be good to take care of anything if there was anything.

Gao Jing and Pan An were chatting, and a thick male voice came from the side: "I've seen Brother Jing, I've seen Brother Pan." ”

"How does this brother know about our name?" Pan An was puzzled.

"What's so hard about that? The two sit in the first and second places, and then compare the rankings on the red list, it is naturally not difficult to guess the names of the two! The man with a deep voice explained.

"I've been taught, but I still don't know my brother's name?" Gao Jing asked.

"In Xia Wu Yu, Xi ranks third." Wu Yu replied.

"I've seen Brother Wu." Gao Jing and Pan An saluted.

"I heard about the two names on the day the list was released, and I have been eager to make friends with the two of you, and today my wish has finally come true." Wu Yu said with emotion.

"It's also a blessing for me to be able to meet Brother Wu!" Gao Jing complimented.

Before Wu Yu could speak, there was a voice next to him, "The prefect is here", and everyone immediately returned to everyone.

As soon as Gao Jing sat down on his seat, he saw the prefect walk into the banquet hall with a group of officials at all levels of the prefect, and after everyone saw each other, the prefect raised his glass and said: "The official held this banquet, mainly to celebrate the young talents who have been selected for the examination, and the official has a drink to congratulate" The prefect drank the wine in the cup after speaking, and let the maid fill the wine glass and said: "There is one more thing to inform you: the top ten in the backyard examination in one month can go to the fuxue, and the others must take the entrance exam if they want to go to the fuxue, Only those who have passed the examination can enter the school. As for how to choose, you all go back and think about it, tonight's banquet is held to congratulate you, there is no distinction between the government and the people, everyone has fun! After the prefect finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass and let everyone move freely!

As soon as Gao Jing and the others heard that they were allowed to move freely, the five of them got together to drink and chat.

"As soon as I heard about attending the banquet, I thought there was something interesting, at least I could get acquainted with the prefect, who ......knows," Xu Qing complained with his hands outstretched.

"Mainly because our level is too low, we are just a talent now, no one knows what the future prospect is, the prefect is from Jinshi and busy with official business, how can they take the time to talk to us!" Pan An explained.

"We're at a low level now, so let's continue to work hard to make ourselves high, what's frustrating!" Gao Jing comforted.

"What are you talking about?" The prefect asked suddenly.

Gao Jing and the others suddenly heard the prefect's question, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the adult." The lord waved his hand and said, "You all get up, the old man said that today regardless of the government and the people, what are you discussing?" Pan An hurriedly replied: "We were discussing the matter of Fuxue just now. The prefect asked, "Oh, you all have to come to study in Fuxue?" The old man is very welcome! Xu Qing replied with some hesitation: "It's not certain yet, we have to go back to the elders before we can make a decision." The prefect nodded and said, "Studying is a big deal, and I want to ask the opinions of my elders!" After speaking, he said to Gao Jing: "This young man is our first place, right?" Gao Jing said a little shyly: "It's just a fluke!" The prefect shook his head and said: "You are not a fluke, the old man has seen you answer the question, the pen is like flying, if there is divine help, according to the old man, he must be diligent and studious, and he can only be the top of the junior high school list with solid knowledge!" Gao Jing hurriedly said: "You have won the prize!" The prefect nodded and said: "It's rare to show off your talent at such a young age, but you can still keep your head clear and not be touted and lose yourself, if you can continue to keep it, there will be your excitement in the court in the future!" After speaking, he patted Gao Jing on the shoulder, chatted with Gao Lang and them for a few more words, and then turned around and walked to find the other students.

The prefect left the banquet hall after chatting with a few students he liked, and as soon as the prefect left, the other officials also left one after another. As soon as the others saw that the officials had left, they disbanded the banquet after a while and went back!

When Gao Jing got into the carriage at the gate of the mansion, Wu Yu walked over quickly and greeted: "Brother Jing, the situation is not allowed today, we will talk about it again when we have time." ”

Gao Jing nodded and said, "Brother Wu, I'll talk about it when I have time." After saying that, he got into the carriage and lowered the curtain.

"Who, so reluctant!" Gao Yu quipped.

"I just met at the banquet, and Wu Yu, who was the third in the college exam." Gao Jing explained.

"It's only been a long time since I was called a brother!" Gao Yu teased.

"Second brother, you're not done yet!" Gao Jing said, "I'm greeting politely, do you really don't understand or fake don't understand." ”

"Okay, no more fun with you." Gao Yu said.

"Third brother, how is this Brother Wu?" Gao Lang asked.

"The first time we met, I saw that he was polite and polite in what he said and did, and his personality should be okay, but maybe he had to see if he could make friends!" Gao Jing replied.

Gao Lang nodded after hearing this, and then stopped talking. Gao Yu suddenly grabbed Gao Jing's sleeve and pointed out the window and said, "Third brother, who do you think it is?" ”

"Who?" Gao Jing casually looked out of the window and saw the singer she saw last time standing outside the carriage talking to Wu Yu.

"Third brother, is it the singing girl we met before?" Gao Yu asked.

Gao Jing nodded and said, "Yes, but how are they together?" ”

At this time, Mingquan, who was sitting outside the carriage, replied: "Back to Young Master, this woman is Young Master Wu's concubine." ”

"Mingquan, how do you know?" Gao Yu said curiously.

"Second Young Master Hui, you just attended the banquet, and the servants saw this woman when they were waiting outside the mansion. Everyone was a little curious, and they asked each other about it! Mingquan explained.

"What else did you find out?" Gao Jing asked.

"Back to the young master, this woman originally sang with her father in the teahouse, and then her father died, when she was bullied by the bullies in the teahouse, Young Master Wu stepped forward to save the woman, and the woman thanked her for her rescue and promised her." Mingquan said.

"It seems that this Brother Wu is relatively simple!" Gao Lang said with emotion.

"I can't see the reason for one thing," Gao Jing asked Mingquan after speaking: "Is the road ahead, if it is passed, go back quickly, it's quite late." ”

"The road is open, young master, the slave will catch the car." After Mingquan finished speaking, he drove the carriage back.
