"Li Gongzi, I don't know that it is the champion of the last imperial examination, and Ying Xuan also wants to see it."

Before Li Xiaoyun could answer, an elegant and delicate voice came from Ying Xuan's right ear.

"No, it's Yin Huahao, I've seen Master Xuan!"

Ying Xuan looked at it and saw a man in a Confucian robe with an extremely delicate face looking at his compilation with a smile, and he was secretly startled in his heart.

"It turns out that the champion of the Great Song Dynasty is sitting next to him! Brother Yin is polite! ”

After replying, the surprise in Ying Xuan's heart has calmed down. Liu Xun's position is extremely close to the main position, and the people in their area are all born extremely extraordinary. Yin Huahao is the son of Yin Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and it is not strange to sit next to Liu Xun.

"Master Xuan doesn't want to be elevated, he still has self-knowledge of his own talents, if it weren't for Brother Liu's concession, this champion wouldn't have fallen on me." Yin Huahao said politely to Ying Xuan.

Ying Xuan was about to reply, and a voice came from behind him.

"You may lose one point to Liu Xun in terms of talent, but when it comes to the six arts of a gentleman, you are the first of the young generation of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Ying Xuan looked back and saw that a man in a blue brocade robe was making a gesture towards him, "Under Xing Bowen, meet Master Xuan!" ”

Yesterday, Ying Xuan asked Liu Nianjiao to come to the roster of the banquet, and firmly remembered the name and identity of it, and when he heard Xing Bowen's name, he immediately knew that this was the eldest son of Xing Feihong, the secretary of the Criminal Department! In the past, he ranked fifth in the imperial examination.

After returning the salute to Xing Bowen, Ying Xuan smiled at Yin Huahao and said, "I really can't see that Yin Gongzi is personable, and he is also proficient in the six arts of a gentleman!" ”

During the Warring States Period, the Confucian generals of the Qi State were the worst, and they could lead the three armies with armor and a long sword, and they could also stand in the temple and talk eloquently when they took off their armor and put on Confucian robes. In that era, the country of Qi had the most famous generals, and all the countries were similar. At that time, the four books, five classics and six arts were the most exquisite.

Until the unification of the Chu State, the civil and military divisions were serious. The civil officials who can be above the temple are all dry and skinny, and their physique is weak. The generals who can stand on the battlefield don't understand anything except the book of war.

At present, the troubled times are coming, and only Ying Xuan knows that the talents of this era are the accumulation of more than 1,000 years in China!

Yin Huahao is personable, but he is not hypocritical, and his evaluation of Ying Xuan is not too humble, "My father has invited more than a dozen teachers since he was a child, and he has been lucky for more than ten years. ”

"Although Brother Zai and Brother Liu Xun read some ancient poems, but if you want to talk about the study of Legalism, Brother Bowen can do his best to pass on the true biography of the Punishment Adult!"

In the face of Yin Huahao's neat counterattack, Xing Bowen laughed and did not answer, and several people pinched and laughed with each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Zhao Yuanlong, who was sitting in the first place, looked at Yingxuan and his group on the left, and did not take him seriously at all, talking and laughing there, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose again, but when he thought of the identity of this group of sons, he was not easy to attack.

That year, Zhao Yuanlong also participated in the imperial examination, and with his talent and learning, he was at a medium level in the examination, and the officials did not give him private points because he was born in a royal family, and gave him a good score in his article, and finally only won a tribute.

And these people in front of him are all Jinshi who have passed the palace test, and when he thinks of this, Zhao Yuanlong's hatred for Liu Xun is even worse. If these subordinates under his father had a little vision, he might be a jinshi by now. Although these things have no effect on Zhao Yuanlong himself, they are related to the face of him and his father!

The most hateful thing is that Zhao Kuangyi has Zhao Kuangyin above him who can't move, and he helps his father to get a relationship, but as a result, these sons of Shangshu have given him a closed door, and they have been in operation for so two years, except for Cai Jianye, the eldest son of a Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Meng Fei, the eldest son of the commander of the forbidden army, they are all some who have a high status in the family, but are not taken seriously.

This is still because he Zhao Yuanlong is acting in the name of the prince, and there are really few people who follow him Zhao Yuanlong with all his heart.

With Ying Xuan and others taking the lead, many people began to chat in twos and threes.

Originally, the purpose of this banquet has always been to let the younger generation connect with each other and see if there is a suitable match. Zhao Yuanlong coerced and lured, and the nature of the banquet changed.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Since no one makes sense anymore..."

"Wait a minute!"

"I suddenly feel unwell in my lower body, so I'll go home first!"

"An elder in the family suddenly had an old illness, and he retired first!"

"If there is something at home, forgive me!"

Yin Huahao, Li Xiaoyun, and Xing Bowen got up almost at the same time, and after making apologies to everyone one after another, they left in style.

Ying Xuan stretched his waist, also stood up, and smiled at Zhao Yuanlong, "My son has also seen all the talents in Bianjing City, and he really deserves his reputation, so he will leave!" ”

The four of them walked out of the door almost at the same time, even though they knew that there were more than a hundred pairs of eyes staring at them behind them, the four of them looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the Nine Immortals Square without looking back.

On the street, it was already dark, and the four of them walked through the street and chatted.

Xing Bowen said with a smile: "I really don't know what Zhao Yuanlong's last expression is, he must be angry." ”

Li Xiaoyun shook his head: "Although Zhao Yuanlong's talent is average, he is a child of the royal family after all. No matter how angry he is, he will only take it to heart. ”

"The one hundred and thirty-three people at the banquet, except for Zhao Yuanlong, the remaining one hundred and thirty-two people have family backgrounds that can be regarded as all over the six cabinets and most of the army." Yin Huahao said with a smile.

Then, Ying Xuan picked up Yin Huahao's words and continued, "So Zhao Yuanlong doesn't ask them to come up with any useful national policies at all, as long as these people can spit out the information that their family can reach, Zhao Yuanlong will naturally be able to find out some shortcomings from the information in the one hundred and thirty-two people, and then present it to the king." ”

Li Xiaoyun continued, "Even if you really can't think of any strategies to benefit the country, Zhao Yuanlong can also use this to get a lot of information." ”

"Such a good thing that is beneficial and harmless has been ruined by us, and the atmosphere has been destroyed again and again, I'm afraid there aren't many people present who put their minds on this."

Xing Bowen ended the topic, and the four of them had already walked to the intersection of Long Street and stopped, and the attendants of each family led their horses and carefully followed not far behind.

"Speaking of which, the wine of the Drunken Immortal Building hasn't had time to take a sip yet, it's a pity!" Xing Bowen sighed.

Li Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Li has drunk the wine of the Drunken Immortal Building, and it is definitely the best wine in the world!" Now that the boss of the Drunken Immortal Building is by our side, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity if we don't get drunk? ”

"If you are willing to come to my drunken immortal building, the wine will naturally be enough!"

Saying that, the group came to the Drunken Immortal Building and went straight to the third floor to open a private room.

After Xing Bowen sat in the private room, he looked around and said, "Master Xuan, your business in the Drunken Immortal Building is really good!" At first glance, most of them are famous magnates in Bianjing. ”

"As soon as the news of today's dinner spreads, the first-class and second-grade officials in the court know that Zuixianlou has the shares behind Song Ting, and they will come boldly in the future." Li Xiaoyun drank a cup of Bai Hong and said with a smile.

Yin Huahao said gently and elegantly, "My old man and my father are good at this bite, every time I quietly send someone over to buy two pots, take them back and drink them quietly." From tomorrow onwards, I am afraid that I will also become a frequent visitor to the Drunken Immortal Building! ”

Ying Xuan proposed to the three of them, "The night is long, only the wine and food are too bland, how about everyone play a game?" ”

All three nodded, indicating that they had no objections.

"Ingot Treasure! Bring all the signature dishes in the restaurant, and bring two sets of chessboards. ”

"No!"

Li Xiaoyun said with a smile: "It seems that Master Xuan's chess skills are exquisite!" ”

Hearing this, Ying Xuan shook his head and sighed, "Xuan grew up on the island since he was a child, and he has learned a little bit of everything, but the resources on the island are limited, and everything is not refined. Although I know a little bit about Go, I still have a gap between me and the three people here. I just hope that when I can play chess later, I won't disturb the wine because of Xuan's chess skills. ”

The four of them were humble to each other for a while, and finally decided that Li Xiaoyun and Yin Huahao would play the game, and Xing Bowen, who was slightly inferior in chess skills, would play against Ying Xuan.

The wine and food were brought up with the chessboard, and when they smelled the wine jar that was unsealed, a strong aroma of wine wafted into the noses of the four people, and they were all shocked.

"It's not enough to drink such a good wine in a glass. Yuanbao, you go to those four glass bowls! ”

"No!"

Immediately after, the four-player chess game began.

Ying Xuan also loved to play chess in his previous life, so he specially went to the exam for this purpose, and his chess skills were worthy of the professional level 3.

From the perspective of Yingxuan, the layout and ending of modern people must be stronger than that of the ancients, after all, it is the result of more than 4,000 years of experience. But when it comes to the ability to twist and kill in the middle game, Ying Xuan is not easy to judge. However, Yingxuan has always admired ancient culture, and has always admired and admired the wisdom of the ancients.

"Brother Xing, Brother Yin, the first time you came to my Drunken Immortal Tower, what do you think of this wine?"

Ying Xuan was playing chess with Xing Bowen while talking and laughing.

"The flavor is mellow and strong, and it is indeed ten times better than the wine I drank before the next drink!"

Yin Huahao also drank a bowl, put down the glass bowl in his hand, and said with a smile, "No wonder my father and grandfather often drink two glasses in the backyard, even if this wine is placed above the nine heavens, it must be able to get drunk with immortals, and it really lives up to the name of Drunken Immortal Building!" ”

"If you two like it, you can leave and bring an altar later!"

Li Xiaoyun pretended to be dissatisfied, pouted and said, "Master Xuan, just forgot about it?" ”

Hearing this, Ying Xuanhao smiled and said, "Hahahaha~ Gongzi Li, you are the president of the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce, our business in Chu is about to start, are you still worried about not drinking?" ”

At this time, Atai hurriedly trotted in from outside the building and came all the way to Ying Xuan's side.

"What's the matter?"

"There's a letter from there!"

Ah Tai looked at the three of them, didn't say anything, and directly handed the letter to Ying Xuan.

Opening the envelope, Ying Xuan took a cursory look at the contents on it, waved his hand and said, "Go down!" ”

"No!"
