When Li Yan heard this, he was not at ease, and said: "Brother Ji, there is still a month before the entrance examination starts, and you and I are in the same room, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient, right?" ”

Ji Qingwen's face was full of doubts: "Inconvenient? What's inconvenient? You and I are both seven-foot men, and there is nothing to taboo, I don't know where the inconvenience is? ”

Li Yan said with a mysterious expression on his face: "Brother Ji still remembers the 'rabbit' that Li Yuanyin said in the Fucheng Inn?" ”

Ji Qingwen suddenly realized this, and hurriedly said, "Brother Li, you misunderstood me." In the next life, in addition to liking money, I like women...... Of course, not all women like it, but they like the kind of beautiful women with graceful posture and outstanding appearance......"

Li Yan's eyes flickered, and he smiled and whispered, "It's like the woman named Zhou Xiuying in the White Lotus Sect?" ”

Ji Qingwen, whose thickness is second only to the Beijing city wall, heard the name of "Zhou Xiuying", his face actually flushed, and said: "Brother Li is really a roundworm in my stomach, I am careful about this, Brother Li actually knows everything about it, and I will not dare to have half a lie about Brother Li in the future." ”

So Ji Qingwen asked Duo Jiugong to take the silver to buy a complete bed and bedding in the capital, and asked Huang Degong, who was born with divine power, to send things into his room in the Liansheng Inn, so that he could settle down.

After such a toss, it was time for dinner, so Ji Qingwen and his entourage chose a famous restaurant in the capital to eat, which can be regarded as a taste of the flavor of Beijing.

After being full of wine and food, Ji Qingwen sent Duo Jiugong, Huang Degong, and Xing'er to stay at the Shaanxi Guild Hall, while he and Li Yan went back to the Liansheng Inn to stay.

At this moment, the time has passed, but the lights are still bright in the lobby of the Liansheng Inn, and thirty or forty people who are rushing to take the exam are sitting in groups of three or five, and they are whispering without a match.

Ji Qingwen didn't know any of these people, and he didn't want to make friends with them, so he was about to go back to his room to rest, but was pulled by Li Yan: "Brother Ji, it's too early to rest, why don't we sit here for a while and listen to what they are talking about, how about it?" ”

Ji Qingwen had nothing to do, so he agreed, but when he raised his head, he saw that several Eight Immortal Tables in the lobby were full, and only one table only sat three people, one old and one young and one middle-aged, so he arched his hand and said: "May I ask the three of you, can you make it convenient for us to sit here?" ”

One of the three was the oldest, and his jaw continued to grow a thick beard that was more than a foot long, and he looked at Ji Qingwen with a deep and old eye, but he didn't take an idea, and asked the young man next to him: "Fifth master, do you want to let them sit here?" ”

The young man was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with only a sparse beard on his lips, and he thought for a while, but before he could answer, he heard the middle-aged man on the other side say coldly: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient, please find another place." ”

The middle-aged man looked like he was in his forties, with three strands of beard on his mouth and chin, a pair of triangular eyes under the two sword eyebrows, and a serious expression on his face.

Ji Qingwen looked around and saw that the inn lobby was already full of people, only there were a few empty seats here, and he thought that he must have been driven away by this middle-aged man.

Although he was not convinced, he thought that this was the foot of the Son of Heaven and the area of the first good, and he couldn't cause trouble, so he had to suppress his anger and said to Li Yan: "Brother Li, there is no way, you want to stay, but there is no seat here." Let's go back to our room. ”

Ji and Li were just about to step upstairs, but suddenly heard the young man in the seat say, "Why do you have to leave? Don't listen to him, just sit here. ”

Ji Qingwen was excited, but Li Yan was very happy, and hurriedly thanked him, and pulled Li Yan to sit down.

As soon as the two of their buttocks stuck to the stool, the running hall in the store came running around, and said with a smile on their faces: "Two masters, do you want to have some snacks and eat your stomach, so that you can discuss your knowledge with other masters." ”

Ji Qingwen glanced at him and said, "You are also not long-eyed, when is it now, when have you just eaten a full meal, how can you still have the stomach to eat snacks?" In this way, you choose the best tea leaves in the store, make a pot for me, and I will scrape the oil and water. ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen took out an ingot of three or four taels of silver from his arms and put it on the table.

When he saw the silver, the muscles on his face twitched with a smile, and he said: "Uncle, the best tea in the small shop, a pot is only two taels of silver, you give too much, I'll go get the silver scissors to find money for you." But the shopkeeper doesn't know where to go now, I'm afraid the silver scissors are not easy to find, you have to wait a little longer. ”

Ji Qingwen sneered: "The world is as black as a crow, and the running halls in your capital are as bad as those in Xi'an City, don't you just want to find money for me?" It's okay, more money will reward you. You bring five tea bowls and serve them carefully, and if they are spilled, see how I clean you up. ”

Ran Tang was an intellectual, and he had already guessed Ji Qingwen's intentions, so he said, "I want to invite these three to have a drink, right?" Hmph, these three people, who don't live in my shop or drink my tea, sat here for almost an hour out of thin air, they are really thick-skinned! ”

When the middle-aged man among the three heard this, he immediately became angry, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "You, what did you say?" ”

His voice was so fierce that he frightened the people who ran away with a word, and made him speechless, standing still and not daring to move.

The old man said, "You keep your voice quiet, although this running hall has no door, it is also true, we really don't have anything here." He opened the door to do business and was not angry, what are you angry about? ”

The middle-aged man seemed to be in awe of the old man, and the muscles on his face that were tense with anger immediately relaxed, and he lowered his eyebrows and said the word "yes".

Li Yan saw it clearly from the side, smiled slightly, and said to the person who ran the hall: "You are also a dog who looks down on people." Look at the dress, manners, and demeanor of these three people, where do they look like poor and destitute men? Presumably because I went out and drank enough water, I was too lazy to spend this unjust money. ”

The runner hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope and said, "It's the villain who has eyes without beads, and it's the villain who has eyes without beads." So saying, he went down.

This running hall is quite quick to do things, and in a short time he made a pot of tea, served five clean tea bowls, and put them in front of Ji Qingwen, Li Yan and the three of them, and poured seven full of tea in each of the tea bowls very quickly, and then bowed and retreated.

Before Ji Qingwen met, the three of them sat still, and seemed to be a little nervous, so they picked up the tea bowl in front of them, blew away a few pieces of tea leaves floating on the water, carefully took a sip of hot tea, and said, "The three of them also entered Beijing to take the exam, right?" Although the mouth of this running hall stinks, this tea tastes good, come, you're welcome, we all over the world are our own family. ”

The old man gently picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said, "The old man thanked the son for the tea first, but the old man didn't dare to agree with the son's words. How can a scholar in the world be a family? Not to mention anything else, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party are on the same footing, not to mention sincerity and friendship, even if you can't eat a meal at the same table, where is it like a family? ”

Li Yan's eyes lit up and said: "It seems that this senior is also quite familiar with the situation in the DPRK and China, but he doesn't know if it is the Donglin Party?" Or a eunuch? ”

The old man shrugged his beard and smiled slightly: "The old man is neither the Donglin Party nor the eunuch party, the so-called 'gentleman is not a party', and the old man is willing to follow suit." ”

Li Yan also smiled: "Then what my brother Ji said is right." We are the same, neither Donglin nor eunuchs, alone, group but not party. ”

The old man smiled with relief and said, "Although the two of you have not yet stepped into the official career and have not soaked in the big dye vat of officialdom, it is rare to have such an awareness. Come, the old decay replaces wine with tea, borrows flowers to offer Buddha, and toasts two people with a glass. ”

As he spoke, the old man raised his teacup and took a deep sip.

Ji Qingwen and Li Yan didn't know the details of this person, but they only felt that this person spoke boldly and with a little cordiality, so they also raised the tea bowl and took a sip.

This sip of tea was poisoned, and the atmosphere on the table suddenly became a lot more relaxed, and he was about to speak, but he heard someone in the lobby get up and say: "Everyone, it's useless for us to sit down, it's better to fight a bucket of Wen, and it can be regarded as a sensitive Wensi, how about it?" ”
