Chapter 606: Jiangdong Nobles
The sound in the next room was not loud, but it was loud, so even across the wall, Lan Ziyi could hear it clearly. The words of the speaker just now were obviously targeted, which aroused Lan Ziyi's interest, so Lan Ziyi raised his hand and made a "shhh" gesture, signaling the others to stop for the time being.
When Zhang Yanwu saw Lan Ziyi's signal, he smiled and stopped talking, just eating his own food, while Brother Temoxin had a serious face and listened attentively, only listening to Brother Timoxin's slow report:
"Eight people, not nine, no, it's still eight, and the other one is Xiao Er, who is pushing each other to row seats, and he is already seated."
When Brother Timoshenge reported the number of people, Lan Ziyi was also quietly listening to the movement next door, and Lan Ziyi heard only noisy footsteps and hypocritical polite words in the next room, as for how many people came, Lan Ziyi couldn't hear when they were seated. In a noisy place like a restaurant, Timoshengo can still judge the specific situation next door through the wall, and this person's senses are far beyond ordinary people.
After Timoshenko finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the next room, and then someone spoke:
"Lu Gongzi is right, I am the state of etiquette in the Celestial Empire, and I am gentle and frugal, but now the capital is full of hills, and the north is full of guests, and now there is a group of Suo Rong Di, alas, it is really not Sven, Sven is not there!"
After this Lu Gongzi finished speaking, someone spoke:
"Lu Gongzi, Du Gongzi, don't be angry, why do you hurt your body when you get angry? Come, take a sip of wine and suppress the fire. β
There was a sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp in the next room, and the two people who had spoken before replied:
"Brother Ji is polite, in a few days, Brother Ji will be the new science and technology jinshi, and the two of us in white clothes will have to salute Brother Ji when we see each other!"
Hearing this, the toasting man hurriedly thanked him and said:
"The two sons really killed me, I was a businessman, and I was able to win the list this time thanks to the help of the two sons. Not only me, but also several of you who came with me this time want to say thank you to the two sons. β
After the toaster said this, there was another burst of laughter in the next room, and Timoshenko asked in a low voice:
"I said Anda, Zhang Gongzi, can you determine who will be a jinshi in advance in the imperial examination of Taisho? If that's the case, why do you still take the exam? β
Zhang Yanwu smiled bitterly when he heard this, waved his hand, and signaled Brother Timoxin not to investigate deeply, Lan Ziyi also shook his head and whispered:
"I'll talk to Anda about this slowly, now let's listen to what the next door has to say."
After pushing the cup in the next room and changing the lamp, Ji Gongzi, who was toasting just now, spoke again:
"If you want me to say, this Beijing Poetry Society is really my hope for the future of Taizheng, and it can actually attract talents like the two sons."
Hearing the name of the poetry club, the expressions on Lan Ziyi and Zhang Yanwu's faces changed, and Lu Gongzi, who took the lead in speaking when he just entered the door next door, smiled at this time:
"My poetry club meets friends with literature, and the people gathered are like-minded young talents, the members of the society have solid family education, and the older generation is all officials in the court, and I can only be regarded as a crowd in the poetry club, not outstanding."
The rest of the Du Gongzi sighed at this time:
"I waited in Beijing, did not go to the imperial examination, did not consider the family and the country, but joined the association, in order to be able to inherit the legacy of the sages and correct the world. I've been doing this all along, but, alas! β
Lan Ziyi listened to the generous statements of the two sons next door, and wondered which of these two guys were in the poetry club. Lan Ziyi of the poetry club stayed before, in addition to chanting poems all day long, that is, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, where did the sages come from? Lan Ziyi looked up at Zhang Yanwu, and Zhang Yanwu also looked as disdainful as Lan Ziyi.
And the Ji Gongzi in the next room took Du Gongzi's words at this time and asked:
"Why is Du Gongzi sighing?"
Du Gongzi said:
"I sigh that this world is unfair, God has no eyes, and even the last piece of poetry society we held on to was still tarnished after all."
In the next room, there was the sound of sleeves swinging and sobbing, and then a group of people began to persuade them.
Hearing this, Timoshengo in the room asked disdainfully:
"Just say it, why are you crying when you talk about it? You're really interesting. β
Lan Ziyi didn't care about Brother Timoxin, he continued to listen to the movement next door, and the Ji Gongzi next door asked:
"If you have any grievances, just say it, don't keep it in your heart, it's bad if you get sick."
Unexpectedly, Ji Gongzi asked Du Gongzi, but it was Lu Gongzi who spoke, and Lu Gongzi sighed:
"I know the sore spot of Du Gongzi, it's not because Qiu Ba entered the poetry club."
When Lan Ziyi and Zhang Yanwu heard this, they were colored at the same time, and the two secretly clenched their wine glasses, just waiting for the group of bastards next door to insult themselves.
That Yadu Gongzi said:
"Yes, it's Qiu Ba who broke our poetry club. First, that Zhang Yanwu oppressed people with power, and squeezed in with the power of his grandfather's captain, and then it was that Lan Ziyi, who supported the army and respected himself, and entered the poetry club to show off his might! β
Lu Gongzi sighed together:
"That Zhang Yanwu's grandfather can only kill people, he doesn't know how to govern the country at all, and he can still be elected to the court as a Tai Lieutenant, this rule of Emperor Taizu back then didn't make sense!"
Du Gongzi grabbed it and said:
"Although it makes no sense for Zhang Yanwu to come in, he is still a person who grew up in the capital, and his bones are vulgar, at least his fur is still elegant. What kind of thing is Lan Ziyi, he can actually enter the poetry club! β
Lu Gongzi echoed:
"That is, Nalan Ziyi doesn't know etiquette, doesn't understand the rules, speaks vulgarly, and thinks about vassal elegance, and it's a joke to be free. What's even more ridiculous is that we still have to accompany him with a smiling face to call him a brother and sister, and accompany him to be vulgar, it's really disgusting to think about it. β
Ji Gongzi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said at this time:
"That is, what is Lan Ziyi? Also worthy of the poetry club? I heard that he took the exam for three years just by lifting people, and the result was still not successful! β
Hearing this, there was a burst of laughter in the next room, and Lan Ziyi pinched his fingers with a blushing face.
However, Ji Gongzi in the next room would not stop talking because someone outside his line of sight was angry, he continued:
"That Lan Ziyi not only failed to pass the exam, but he also called Rong Di a brother and brother, and yesterday someone saw Lan Ziyi enter Beijing with Suo Lu who was scattered in a cloak."
Lu Gongzi said contemptuously:
"That Lan Ziyi is a barbarian, he can't do anything except when Qiu Ba, just now when we came over, we could hear a ghost on the Jiangnan Tower a few streets away, it is said that it is Rong Di who is locked up in Honglu Temple. What kind of place is this Jiangnan Tower, is it the place where those Rong Di should come? β
Du Gongzi heard the words and said:
"Forget it, letting these Rong Di enter Beijing is also the intention of Lord Shoufu, bear with it, anyway, these guys have a human face and a beast's heart, and sooner or later they will have to go back to the outside of the fortress."
Hearing this, Temoshenko smiled and said:
"That's true."
Ji Gongzi interjected at this time:
"This year's imperial examination is also thanks to the support of Lord Shoufu, otherwise the Jinshi on the list would not have been divided into half of the pot by the Beike?"
Du Gongzi said:
"Lord Shousuke is just a guideline, and he doesn't care about the details. You prisoners of the country can be selected, but it depends on the kindness of Lu Sacrifice Wine. β
When Ji Gongzi and the rest of the people heard this, they hurriedly said:
"Master Lu, please bring a message, thank you."
Lu Gongzi smiled:
"You are all protΓ©gΓ©s of my father, and this little thing may help. However, if it weren't for the adjustment of the Ministry of Rites, you would have to take a lot of detours. β
Ji Gongzi said:
"That's, that's, the kindness of Master Lu and Master Lu is unforgettable. It's just that I heard that someone was caught selling exam questions in the capital a few days ago, so will we ...... this time?"
Du Gongzi said at this time:
"Don't you think it's strange? Why didn't someone next door move for so long? β
