Huayin County is not big, it is golden autumn, the wind blows through the streets, sweeps off a dead leaf, there are a few pedestrians on the street, and it is evening, it looks quite a bit depressed.

Xu Zizhen looked left and right, approached Lu Boyan slightly, and said, "It's so deserted, won't we be too conspicuous." ”

There was no one around, and Lu Boyan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the head of the family can rest assured, in the spring of next year, the students who go to Yingtianfu from the Northwest Road will basically take this road." ”

Xu Zizhen looked at his dress, oh and didn't speak again, now he is a scholar, it is really not abrupt to say so.

However, Lu Boyan glanced at him again, others didn't know, but he knew some things about Xu Zizhen, for example, this time the Spring Festival, the Great Song Dynasty did not have a Spring Festival, but Xu Zizhen wrote a letter to Zhao Gou from Yaodecheng last year, and he didn't say much, only one thing was said, that is, the Spring Festival.

The battle of Song and Jin has lasted several years, and the difficulty of Jingkang has made most of the officials in the DPRK and China exiled to the north, although Xu Zizhen later ransomed a lot of people back, and those can also be called the mainstay of the Great Song Dynasty, such as Ma Chunlin and others, but many others are missing, even if Yan Yan Ang later took control of the government and put back a lot of Song ministers, but there is still a big gap, everyone knows that those people are afraid that they will not be able to come back, either they died in the north because they were not convinced by the water and soil, or they were abused to death by the Jin soldiers at that time on the road.

So today's Ying Tianfu seems to be lively, but the court is not neat, the middle and low-level officials are much worse, but the Great Song Dynasty Imperial Examination is a three-year examination, Xu Zizhen thought of the Ming and Qing dynasties Enke Chunfu, so he wrote a letter to Zhao Gou, giving this suggestion, Zhao Gou did not say a word, and immediately approved, so the first Spring Festival of the Great Song Dynasty appeared.

Thinking of this, Lu Boyan couldn't help but secretly sigh, when he first met Xu Zizhen, he was nothing, just to repay a kindness, he traveled thousands of miles to Lanzhou, and later inadvertently got involved in the Great Xia Rebellion.

Half an hour later, Xu Zizhen found that what Lu Boyan said was indeed not wrong at all, because when the two of them went to the investment store to rest, they found that the only inn in Huayin County was actually full.

"Uh, there's no room left, how do you think you can get it?" Xu Zizhen asked Lu Boyan in a low voice, everything he said before this trip was all decided by Lu Boyan, including things like staying in the hotel, he could only listen to him.

Lu Boyan hung his head slightly, looking no different from an ordinary domestic servant, but the words that came out of his mouth made Xu Zizhen vomit blood: "It's nothing, I didn't plan to live here, our place to stay is ready." ”

Xu Zizhen was stunned: "Then let's still come here?" ”

Lu Boyan's eyes quietly swept around, and he said, "When I first came here to explore the wind, I will eat by the way...... The head of the family, you are a half-immortal, but I have to eat. ”

"Well, you win." Xu Zizhen was speechless, but Lao Lu was right, food always has to be eaten, Lao Tzu is a half-immortal, isn't it true that the other half pulls his body and is still a human being.

There are just two people leaving after eating at a table in the corner, it is a square table, and there are two people sitting on the other two sides, looking at the plates and wine jugs on the table, it is obvious that they have not finished eating, it is estimated that they do not know the two who just left, Lu Boyan hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Two sons, I don't know if it is convenient to allow my young master to share a table?" ”

The two of them were dressed as scholars, and they were very polite, although Lu Boyan was dressed as a domestic servant, the two of them quickly got up and saluted back: "Don't dare, don't dare, the old man is serious, please!" After speaking, he arched his hand to Xu Zizhen next to him, "Brother Nian, please." ”

"Thank you, thank you." After all, Xu Zizhen was a scholar of Yingtian Academy, and he could still pretend to be polite to the reader, anyway, no one could see that the polite and good-looking scholar in front of him was actually a killer.

Xu Zizhen pretended to be a half-poor scholar this time, and on the grounds that he didn't have to pay attention to going out, he asked Lu Boyan to sit down together, and before he could sit down, he called Xiao Er, asked for two pots of wine and five catties of beef, and put them in the middle of the table and invited the two scholars to eat and drink together.

The two scholars are not very old, they haven't even grown a beard yet, seeing Xu Zizhen so politely, they hurriedly got up and thanked them, they were really poor scholars who were rushing to take the exam, in order to save money, the two of them asked for a room, and even the food was the cheapest kind to eat, Xu Zizhen didn't sit down and saw it in his eyes, a pot of white steamed buns and two side dishes.

With Xu Zizhen's mouth and the two pots of wine, he quickly became familiar with the two scholars, one surnamed Yu and the other surnamed Feng, both of whom were from Fengxiang Mansion, Xu Zizhen guessed correctly, they were coming for next year's Spring Festival, and it was late when they passed by Huayin today, and they planned to stay overnight before leaving.

"I wish Brother Yu and Brother Feng success, the top of the high school list!" Xu Zizhen filled the wine glasses for the two of them, and saluted enthusiastically, but his ears kept listening to the various chats around him, the restaurant was the best place to listen to the news, which was the purpose of Lu Boyan pulling him in.

The two scholars hurriedly raised their glasses, thanked them repeatedly, and then drank them all, but after putting down the wine glass, the scholar surnamed Feng sighed: "The two of us going to the exam is nothing more than a wish, after all, the cold window has been cold for many years, and it is always unfortunate not to try your own catties, but is this the top of the list...... Oh, not to mention the top of the list, it is impossible to be on the list. ”

Xu Zizhen couldn't help but be stunned, and said strangely: "Oh? What did Brother Feng say about this? ”

The scholar surnamed Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Xu doesn't have to pay attention to him, he has been like this since he was a child, and he always likes to think cranky." ”

Feng Shusheng immediately retorted: "Why is it out of tune, Wang Yuan's old thief and Kang Lu's eunuchs are colluding to disrupt the government, don't you hear that even ordinary people in the palace can sell officials and lords at will, you and I have no yellow and white things to buy off, isn't it a joke to talk about being on the list?" ”

Yu Shusheng laughed and said: "I'll just say that you don't recognize it if you think about it, Kang Lu is dead, what are you worried about?" ”

Feng Shusheng slapped the table: "But Wang Yuan's old thief is still there!" ”

Yu Shusheng also slapped the table and shouted almost at the top of his voice: "Mr. Xu is still there!" ”

The lobby, which was originally very lively, was suddenly quieted down by this abrupt voice, and everyone looked at this side in surprise.

Xu Zizhen only felt extremely embarrassed, firstly, he was in the center of this embarrassment, and secondly, Yu Shusheng's yelling was also called his name.

"Ahem...... The two brothers calm down, this is a public place, who is Mr. Xu Da you are talking about, Brother Yu? ”

Yu Shusheng suddenly looked at it with contempt: "Who else can it be, naturally it is the envoy of Yingtian Academy, Mr. Xu Zizhen and Mr. Xu!" ”
