After the catastrophe, the order in the city gradually returned to normal, Gaoming City was promoted before leaving office, changed the previous decadence, began to rectify the law and order, declared money and grain to the upper peak to repair the city wall, and at the same time organized the chamber of commerce and the gentry to help the victims, making a diligent and loving image of parents.

With the rapid improvement of public security in Fucheng, Shen Xi began to attend classes at the school every day, walking between the school, the pharmacy and his own house, three points and one line, and every day in addition to Wen Shu endorsement is to make eight articles.

Every night's homework, either writing a four-book essay or a five-verse text, is a compulsory part of the college exam, but the knowledge involved in it is much broader.

Feng Yanqi tried his best to find books to make up for Shen Xi's evil, and prepared to pass a year and let him memorize some of the classics in order to cope with the exam.

In this way, Shen Xi had the opportunity to be lazy.

He basically memorized these books by heart the last time he read them, and when he turned back and memorized them, he only needed to make a look of shaking his head and shaking his head, and he could enjoy wandering around the world.

At the end of August, Gao Mingcheng, the prefect of Tingzhou, and He Yingsheng, the prefect of Changting County, stepped down one after another, and Gao Chong and other yamen left Tingzhou Mansion.

On August 29, it coincided with the recess of the school.

In the afternoon, Shen Xi woke up from a nap and was reading a book upstairs in the pharmacy, Lin Dai hurriedly ran up and said, "Hey, my mother asked you to go down, someone is looking for you." ”

Shen Xi was a little surprised, he went downstairs, and as soon as he stepped into the front hall, he saw Su Tong waiting for him at the door.

Shen Xi felt that every time he saw Su Tong, something bad would happen, and this flood also started when he saw Su Tong, and the two had never met since then, and now he actually took the initiative to invite him again.

"Han Wa'er, don't go out for too long, you must come back before dark."

Although Zhou always scolded Shen Xi for being "wild", she asked Hui Niang, and Hui Niang said that if Shen Xi was to be appreciated by the examiner in the future college examination, it was essential to participate in some literary meetings, in addition to enhancing communication. It is also to establish an image in front of the scholars...... The examiner's examination of the candidate's talent and moral character mostly comes from this.

Shen Xi stepped forward to see the salute, and was a little embarrassed: "Master Su, today I want to study for the exam, and there will be an examination school before the end of the year." I want to ......"

"Brother Shen, this is yours, if you learn all day long, you will only become a nerd." Su Tong solemnly admonished, "The results of the last time have just been announced. Why rush for the next time? There are many exams every year, and Brother Shen should go out and walk more to increase his knowledge. ”

Zhou couldn't help but praise when he heard it: "Oh, Han Wa'er, you see how good Su Gongzi said...... Go ahead. It's chaotic in the city these days after dark, so don't delay until after curfew. ”

Although the flood waters have receded, some of the walls have collapsed and are still being repaired, and the government will impose a curfew at night to prevent banditry.

One more to the rooster crows five drums. Cards will be set up at the intersection of the main streets, and if anyone crosses, they will be punished with a board, or at worst, they will be imprisoned for a few days, or even punished as a bandit.

Originally, he said that he would come back before dark, but Su Tong said something and asked Zhou to change his mind and let him come back before curfew, Shen Xi didn't expect the old lady's will to be so unfirm.

When Shen Xi was in a dilemma, another person came in at the door of the shop, but it was Zheng Qian, Su Tong's sworn friend.

Zheng Qian originally came in to urge. When I entered the door and saw Xie Yun'er, my eyes suddenly straightened.

"Brother Shen, why don't you hurry up? There are a few people invited today who are good learners. They appreciate your poetry and want to talk to you about it. Su Tong said with a smile.

Only then did Shen Xi come out with Su Tong and Zheng Qian. As soon as Zheng Qian went out, he pointed inside and asked, "Shen Gongzi, who is the one inside...... Sister Ling? ”

Shen Xi shook his head impatiently, secretly annoyed in his heart, Zheng Qian, this guy "toad wants to eat swan meat", actually got Xie Yun'er's idea. Su Tong waved his hand beside him: "Brother Zheng." Isn't this yours, even our famous goddess doctor Miss Xie in Tingzhou Mansion doesn't know? ”

Zheng Qian had a slight surprise on his face: "It turns out that this is Doctor Xie, I have always heard people mention it recently, so it turns out that it is like this...... Dignified and elegant. ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, what Zheng Qian originally wanted to say must not be a good thing, but in the end, he turned around and said something "dignified and elegant", and he couldn't tell if he had any dirty thoughts in his heart.

Because Xie Yuner came forward to treat the disease and save people as a special doctor of the Chamber of Commerce in this disaster relief. Xie Yun'er does not have the frame of a young lady, she does it herself when treating patients, she has countless people, praises the people, and vigorously makes a name for her, not only praising her medical ethics, but also praising her appearance and temperament, even Zheng Qian, who doesn't like to go out very much, has heard of it.

Su Tong sighed: "Who can marry Miss Xie in the future, it is really a blessing, but it is a pity that it is impossible for a young lady from this background to be a concubine...... Brother Zheng, you and I don't have a chance. ”

Shen Xi couldn't listen to it a little and asked, "Brother Su, Brother Zheng, where are we going?" ”

"Where else to go? Of course, I went to the teaching workshop to meet Miss Xi'er, and today I am the east for my brother, please enjoy it...... Haha, the group of people surnamed Gao are finally out of the way, in the future, the ground of this Tingzhou Mansion will be peaceful in the world, see who dares to come against me? ”

Su Tong's tone was arrogant, because the Su family had close relatives who served as officials in the government, and only Gao Chong's top officials did not take him seriously, if it was someone who usually clashed with on the street, Su Tong would not be polite either.

This is the power field, and the oppressed will use a more cruel way to oppress the weak.

From top to bottom, officialdom is this kind of upward and downward effect, corrupt officials are rampant, and there is no complaint that officials are not honest and self-controlled, and it can only be said that there is no clear stream in the turbid stream.

"Brother Su, didn't you say that you were going to hold a literary meeting and talk about poetry with people?" Shen Xi frowned.

Su Tong said with a smile: "It's true to talk about poetry, but it's not with those talents, but with beautiful people, does Brother Shen think that Fengyue Hongcui won't understand poetry?" If they write poetry, they may have more charm than you and me. Hurry up, or the feast will not be enjoyable before curfew. ”

Shen Xi looked at the sky, it was almost dark in more than an hour, even if he added more than half an hour before the curfew, it was only a little more than two hours, and it was really a bit difficult to make Su Tong and Zheng Qian and others "happy" during this time.

When the group arrived at the gate of the Teaching Division, some people had already gathered here.

These people didn't go in either, because they needed to spend money to reward them when they entered the door, and they were invited people, so they didn't want to spend money in vain, so they had to wait for Su Tong and Zheng Qian to arrive.

These scholars will not feel ashamed at the door of the teaching department, and they can come to this kind of place, and it is not enough to have money. There must be status. In the eyes of outsiders, the Jiaofang Division is an "elegant" place, and those who can come are either rich or expensive, and most of these people are poor and sour. It was an honour to be invited.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you waiting for? I'm afraid that the girls inside are in a hurry! ”

Su Tong is full of spirits, and now no one in Fucheng dares not to give him face, and the Jiaofang Division will become his land, and then so. Presumably, even the girl inside will look up to him. Shen Xi said: "Brother Su, I remember that there is something going on at home, and I am busy going back......"

Before Shen Xi's words fell, Su Tong already laughed: "Brother Shen, do you want to use such an excuse to slip away again?" Brother Wei heard some rumors, saying that Miss Xi'er even gave out her dowry in order to invite you to paint, could it be that Brother Shen was afraid that she would embarrass you? ”

Shen Xi thought to himself that Xi'er's excuse was also extremely clever.

If the jewelry is sent to the pawnshop, there will be a chance to redeem it, and she can wear it again in the future. Again. Xi'er said that he was so poor that he even took out his jewelry, so he could coax Su Tong to give more rewards. In Shen Xi's opinion, Xi'er just took advantage of the man's good face and sympathy to find a reason for her to make money.

"I'm not afraid that she will be embarrassed, but I am afraid that she will be embarrassed when she sees me." Shen Xi Road.

"Haha, Brother Shen is too careful, Miss Xi'er is not only talented and beautiful, but also difficult to know Shudali. Today, I have to do it for my brother, and by the way, let her toast you with a cup of tea to release your suspicions. What do you think? ”

Shen Xi expected that even if Xi'er had a certain background, he would not show it in front of many scholars in a place like the Jiaofang Division.

Otherwise, how could she be her "number one Oiran"?

Get inside. It's still the same as the last banquet room, but the furnishings inside have been renewed, and Yu Niang's words are also a little close: "...... Su Gongzi just has fun, Xi'er is dressing up, and Miss Bixuan will come over today, whether she is playing the piano and listening to music or chanting poetry. It all depends on the meaning of Su Gongzi. ”

Sit down, the fragrant tea was served, and Su Tong was in a good mood after drinking the tea.

Zheng Qian said to several scholars next to him: "Our new prefect of Tingzhou Mansion is a prince of Su Gongzi, and if you need to take care of it on the ground in Tingzhou Mansion in the future, you can just let me know." ”

The gentlemen present were in high spirits.

They have seen Gao Chong, He Gongzi and others show off their martial arts in the past, but now that Su Tong is in power, they can follow Su Tong as an "uncle" in the future.

Su Tong smiled and waved his hand: "I can't say that, I haven't visited this uncle yet, and besides, as a junior, you can't always make trouble for your elders." ”

That's right.

In Shen Xi's opinion, although Su Tong has a lot of problems, there is one thing that is good, that is, he values friendship, and if others treat him sincerely, he will treat others with sincerity.

While he was talking, the door of the hall opened, and Xi'er came in with a few girls that Shen Xi had never seen, and a group of warblers and warblers Yanyan came directly to the desk, and Tingting gave a salute.

"Su Gongzi hasn't been here for a few days, but he wants to spoil the slave family." Xi'er's face is not to mention how cute it is, but Shen Xi has no intention of admiring her coquettishness, and his eyes can't help but fall on the other party's head.

This girl is quite bold, and she actually took the step shake that she stole from under Shen Xi's bed, and the style was exactly the same, and she didn't believe Shen Xi who said that she didn't steal it. But she wore it openly, as if she intended to demonstrate against Shen Xi.

Su Tong exclaimed: "Why did Miss Xi'er come here today, so bright and moving? Come, sit down, and have a glass of water and wine with us. ”

Xi'er was stared at by Shen Xi, and returned a look of "what can you do to me", then sat down, leaning towards Shen Xi's side, as if she was afraid that Shen Xi's eyes would not be good and she would not be able to see the steps on her head.

"Su Gongzi, the reward you gave to the slave family last time, the slave family redeemed Bu Shao, and the slave family is here to thank Su Gongzi this time."

Xi'er's voice was tactful, coquettish and lazy, and it also attracted the attention of all the men present except Shen Xi.
