Although Qian Jin was a little surprised to meet Jin Taiming in the capital, it was also expected.

Last year, they won the list together, and they are fellow villagers, so it stands to reason that they can go to the capital together to catch the exam. Later, Qian Jin set off for Jiangxi with his parents, and there was no special companion. Count the days, it's January soon, and there is still a month to try, and Jin Taiming and they should also arrive in the capital.

This era is not as good as the previous life. Qian Jin vaguely remembered that he had just talked to his girlfriend on the phone in his last life, and his girlfriend gave him an order, and he took a plane and flew over thousands of mountains and rivers. Now it's different, from Guangdong to the capital, it takes almost half a year to walk, so it is even more precious.

Qian Jin was also very happy at the moment, took Jin Taiming and Liao Donglin's hands and said, "Brother Jin, Brother Liao, when did you arrive?" ”

"A few of us arrived a few days ago." Liao Donglin was also very excited. He glanced at Qian Jin meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Brother Qian, now your name is like thunder in the capital." ”

"Two brothers, I arrived in the capital at about the same time as you, why is it like thunder?" Qian Jin asked puzzled.

Jin Taiming and Liao Donglin couldn't help but look at each other when they saw that Qian Jin really didn't know.

Jin Taiming opened his mouth to explain: "Brother Qian, we have only been in the capital for two days, and we heard that you have been fighting in Zhenjiang Mansion to destroy the Japanese invaders. Zhenjiangwei commanded Yu Dayou's recital to the imperial court. It is said that after His Majesty listened to the report, Long Yan was happy, and even if he promoted you to Guanhaiwei Qianhu, he even gave you the words "Young Hero". ”

After listening to Jin Taiming's words, Qian Jin knew two things, one was that he was promoted, and the other was that he was a little famous. Yu Dayou should have played an indispensable role in this, if it was replaced by Wang Xing, it was estimated that he would not even be able to take the soup water.

Qian Jinxin said that it was good to be promoted, didn't Lao Qian always want to glorify his ancestors, and it happened to be his wish. So he smiled and said: "Happy event, happy event, but no matter how big the happy event is today, it can't compare to 'meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land', there should be wine at this moment." ”

At this time, the silkworm mother led Li Liang and the two brothers and sisters to stop not far away, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard the news of Qian Jin's promotion.

She estimated that her master would go to the restaurant with her fellow villagers to celebrate later, so she walked over and said a blessing to Jin Taiming and Liao Donglin, and said to Qian Jin: "Master, I will take Li Liang and his two brothers and sisters to go shopping and go back, and you and your fellow villagers will go to the bar." After that, Shi Shiran took Li Liang and them to look at the clothes.

When they walked away, Jin Taiming next to him couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Brother Qian, when did you get married?" Even the children are so old. ”

Qian Jin almost vomited blood when he heard this. He always thought that Jin Taiming was an honest man, but he didn't expect him to be so gossipy, and it is estimated that he was poisoned by those loving little books. So he scolded with a smile: "You love to ask...... She was a woman I rescued in Zhenjiang Mansion, and her village had been slaughtered by the Japanese invaders, and I saw that she was helpless and took her in. Those two children were also taken in by me in Shandong. ”

The two of them were stunned when they heard it, thinking it was a good story, but it turned out that there was a tragedy hidden. Qian Jin saw that the two were embarrassed, so he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Today I will be the east and wash the dust for the two brothers." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." The two responded in unison.

A few fellow villagers next to them saw the speculation they were chatting about, so they didn't talk to each other. Among them, there is Wang Fusheng, the third in the autumn of Guangdong, and one is the tenth Sun Gang, last time his cousin wanted to humiliate Jin Taiming in the Zhuangyuan Building of Linhai Mansion, and he turned out to be a foreigner. As for the rest, Qian Jin is not familiar with it. However, these people are all forty or fifty years old.

Qian Jin invited these fellow villagers to go with him. Those benevolent brothers resigned again and again, probably because they were a little old, and they felt that they were not speculative when they spoke. Qian Jin didn't force it to stay.

The three of them walked to a restaurant called Chunfeng Lou. The left and right are not very familiar with the capital, and the name of this restaurant is also a little poetic, so the three of them chose this place for a drink.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the business of this liquor store was not bad, and it was basically full. There are no private rooms, and the window seats on the second floor are already occupied. The three of them chose a table in the corner on the second floor and sat down, and after ordering wine and food, Qian Jin asked, "Two brothers, is this journey still smooth?" ”

"This time there was no danger. Brother Jin and I took the official road from Fujian to the capital, and when we passed through Zhejiang, there was also a lot of trouble there. However, the number is small, and most of them come for property, and now they have been suppressed by officers and soldiers. Liao Donglin said.

Qian Jin couldn't help frowning. Although at present, the Japanese are all petty fights, but I am afraid that after a long time, the Japanese will gather, and then it will not be Zhejiang and Nanzhili provinces that will be harmed.

"When we were passing through Shandong, something really happened." Jin Taiming said.

"Oh, what's going on?" Qian Jinqi said.

"In the past few years, the ice and snow disasters in Shandong have been serious, and there are many hungry people on the road, so we were robbed on the road, and later we were able to get out of it after giving some belongings. I heard that it is even more serious in Henan, and some farmers have basically no harvest. The imperial court was sympathetic and opened many porridge shops. If it is affected again this year, I am afraid that the government will not be able to control it at that time. Jin Taiming said.

Qian Jin was silent. The weather during this Xiaoice period is unpredictable, and the most notable feature is that the winter is particularly cold, and the summer is often dry or flooded. I hope this winter will not be as cold as last year, otherwise the people may really not be able to stand it.

At this time, Xiao Er had already served the wine and food.

Qian Jin poured a full bottle of wine for Jin Taiming and said, "Two brothers, my Chen Guo relies on the sky to eat, so this first cup of wine will be respectful to the sky." ”

"Good ......" said that, and the three of them drank it all.

After a while, the three of them finished drinking a bottle of wine. The amount of Jin Taiming's wine was a little worse, and his face was already a little red at this time, but he began to talk more. Qian Jin felt that this wine tasted good, so he called Xiao Er and asked, "Xiao Er, is your wine famous?" ”

"This master, what you just drank was Fenjiu from the small shop, which was all shipped from Shanxi." This little second eye strength is okay, seeing that Qian Jin is dressed like a scholar, most of them are people who came to catch the exam, so he called him the master.

"Then another pot." Qian Jin commanded.

"Okay, you wait......" Xiao Er shouted in a long tone, and went downstairs to get the wine.

At this time, a scholar at the adjacent table said: "I heard that there is a celebrity in the capital recently, named Qian Jin, who was able to kill five Japanese robbers alone before he reached the weak crown, and even attracted the guards to wipe out the Japanese invaders, which is really a hero." ”

Qian Jin heard others talking about himself, and couldn't help but glance at it curiously, only to see that those people were also dressed as scholars, and it seemed that they had also gone to the capital to take the exam.

After a knocking staircase, Xiao Er had already taken the wine.

Qian Jin gave Jin Taiming and Liao Donglin a full place, and asked, "Where are the two brothers now?" ”

"I'm staying with a distant relative's house now, and it's also convenient. Brother Jin is currently staying at the inn temporarily. Liao Donglin said.

"If you don't mind, you can go and stay with me for a while. I just rented a courtyard house in Zhengnanfang. Qian Jin said.

Liao Donglin said to Jin Taiming: "Brother Jin, your guest house is not good for Wen Shu, I think you can go to Brother Qian's place to talk about it for a while." ”

Jin Taiming hesitated. His family is not well-off, and it costs a lot of money to go to Beijing to take the exam, and his money bag is almost empty, and the guest house is already a little stretched. He and Qian Jin are also good friends, and it should be okay to stay for a while, so he said: "Then accept the good intentions of my brother, and I will be respectful and obey my fate." ”

"When you go out, you should take care of each other. As the saying goes, 'persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there will be a time to come to high school in Japan', let us drink a full glass. Qian Jin raised his glass, and the three of them drank freely.

At this time, a white-faced scholar at the next table seemed to be full of food and drink, and he would be idle and have nothing to do, and said sadly: "I think this money is in, I cherish my life too much, and I really don't deserve the title of "Young Hero"." ”

Hearing this, Qian Jin slowly put down the wine glass and glanced at the scholar with his eyes. I saw that the man was about thirty, dressed in coarse silk, five feet tall, with white skin, and his appearance was relatively sparse and ordinary, but a pair of triangular eyes attracted special attention.

Qian Jin picked up the wine glass and came to the next table, smiled slightly, and said, "I don't know what to call this brother." ”

The white-faced scholar saw that Qian Jin was also dressed as a scholar, and he must also be a person rushing for the exam, so he replied: "Contemptible Zhejiang Chen Xiong." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Chen. The Qian Jin you just mentioned, I have also heard of it, little brother. I heard that you said that he cherished his life, and my little brother would like to hear about it. ”

"Seeing that you are also a scholar, don't you hear 'Wen Death Admonition, Martial Death War'? I heard that Qian Jin was chased by a few widows and fled for more than 50 miles, which really disgraced our Chen people. ”

"Then according to the meaning of Brother Tai, what should I do?"

"Naturally, we should die generously, which not only completes the honor, but also inspires the soldiers to kill the enemy. In the future, maybe the immortal tablet can also enter the Chen Temple to receive the incense of the people. ”

"Oh, then Brother Chen is definitely not afraid of death."

"Of course. Put yourself in their shoes, and I'm sure I'm going to fight for my life against these gangsters. ”

"How about I ask you to die now?" With that, Qian Jin grabbed his head and slammed it against the wall.

only heard a bang, and Chen Xiong rolled his eyes, and he fainted directly to the ground. The scholars who accompanied Chen Xiong to dinner next to him were already frightened, and they couldn't sit or stand.

"Don't worry, I just fainted." Qian Jin dropped a sentence lightly, and regardless of the eyes cast around him, he continued to drink and eat.
