As soon as the two of them sat down, a guy served a drink and dessert. The most striking dessert www.biquge.info the pen is the cherry that fills the glass. The delicate cherries shine through the crystal clear glass, making people appetite. Next to the glass cup, a small dish of steamed cheese with sugar is served. Cherry dip cheese is the most popular and luxurious dessert in Chang'an City in spring.

Ayi Tenggena took a sip of her drink, opened her lips and smiled: "Lu Langjun, when I first came to Chang'an, I didn't understand the terroir of Beijing, so I prepared some fruits and vegetables casually, and I don't know if it is suitable for it." ”

Looking at the red cherries, Lu Qi was confused, ashamed and annoyed. The preciousness of cherries, he still knows a little bit about the value of cherries, who came from a famous family. Cherries are revered as the "first fruit of early spring", not only because they are one of the earliest ripe fruits of the year in Chang'an City, but also because they are extremely expensive.

Although cherries can be produced locally in Chang'an, they are concentrated in the cherry orchards of the Royal Garden and a few orchards, and the annual output is very limited. Every year when the cherry season comes, not only the imperial court will use it to worship the Taimiao, but the saint will also take the minister to have a banquet in the royal cherry orchard. The cherries that can be rewarded by the saints can be said to be a great honor, and the courtiers who are rewarded also have to write poems and essays to thank His Majesty.

And the lord of the real pearl in front of him casually brought out a few large cherries to entertain himself, and his handwriting was not small, and his intentions were not insincere. But it also made Lu Qi clear about the unattainable gap between the two.

What worries Lu Qi even more is that the hot pot restaurant is Wang Fei's property, and these cherries are likely to be a reward for Wang Fei from the palace. Therefore, the relationship between the lord of Zhenzhu and Wang Fei is by no means covered by a simple sentence of "old friends".

However, what really embarrassed Lu Qi was not the preciousness of cherries, but another meaning of cherry tasting in spring. Since the time of the annual release of the new science and technology scholars often coincides with the time when the cherries are ripe, the new scholars will also get together privately to taste the newly ripe cherries after participating in the apricot garden banquet arranged by the imperial court. This feast is commonly known as the "cherry feast".

"I fell off the list, but she invited me to eat cherries, is she sarcastic about me?" The sensitive and self-respecting Lu Qi inevitably didn't think much about it. He hesitated, but decided to try his best to tease in a calm tone: "Thank you Lord for your kindness!" Cherries are the New Year's fruits, but unfortunately there is no name on a certain list, and I am a little ashamed to enjoy the fruits! ”

"Huh? What does Lu Langjun mean by this? Did I do something wrong? "Because Wang Fei's jinshi was too smooth, Ayitengna didn't pay too much attention to the imperial examination. And she has been paying attention to the bad money turmoil recently, and she doesn't know the origin of the cherry banquet.

Lu Qi saw that Aitenggena's surprise did not seem to be fake, and he understood that he was wrong to blame the Lord of Zhenzhu. He was about to open his mouth to explain, but he heard the door of the private room being pushed open, and a young man smiled heartily: "Yiyue, Lu Langjun means that he failed in the examination room, but you brought out the fruit from the cherry banquet of the new science and technology jinshi, aren't you mocking him?" ”

Without waiting for Aitenggena to reply, the person who came walked up to Lu Qi and said, "Lu Langjun, the subject exam is not entirely about the talent in the belly. It's a fluke, and you can't take the test again next year. Don't be too upset about the occasional loss. ”

"Thank you Fei Langjun for your relief!" Lu Qi said in a strange manner: "In this way, I have to congratulate Fei Langjun on the third place in high school." It's just a pity that Fei Langjun is full of wealth, and he pays homage to the important ministers of the court everywhere, and he also has a hot fight with Gao Weng. I thought that Fei Langjun was going to be the top student in high school, but how did you know that you were the last to be the last? Could it be that the effort of Fei Langjun is not enough? ”

"Lu Langjun, I really don't know that there is so much attention to eating a cherry, this is my lack of thought, and I hope Lu Langjun will forgive." Seeing that Lu Qi was aiming his anger at Xiao Langjun, Ai Tengena was unhappy and regretted that she had invited Lu Qi to the banquet. But in order to avoid an argument between the two, she still took the initiative to stand up and apologize to Lu Qi.

"The county lord is serious!" Lu Qi understood that he had wrongly blamed Ayi Tenggana just now, and hurriedly replied with a guilty face.

Regarding Lu Qi's sarcasm with a gun and a stick, Wang Fei actually didn't take it to heart. But if he dares to speak disrespectfully to Ayitengana, Wang Fei will definitely teach him a lesson.

People like Lu Qi, Wang Fei saw a lot on the Internet in his previous life. Many people are cynical and shouting around, not because they are full of a sense of justice, but because they have not gotten it. There is a classic saying that exposes the face of such people cleanly - "Many people are not disgusted with unfairness, but they are disgusted that they are not on the side that benefits from unfairness".

What's more, some people who accuse the rules of injustice will decide their heads and change their positions once they turn over and become vested interests, hoping that the order that is beneficial to them will never change.

As far as the examination of the Jinshi Department is concerned, Wang Fei naturally knows that the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty is very crude, and there are all kinds of black-box operations and unfairness. He also understands that he still has a little bit of his father's light. But Wang Fei asked himself, whether it was "going to be on the list" or "going to the papers", he was acting within the rules recognized by everyone, and there was no act of fraud according to his authority.

Wang Fei was very sure that Lu Qi must have been around before the exam. It should be said that even a scholar from a poor family would not stay in the inn and wait for the exam to start, but went to the courtier's mansion early to deliver famous thorns and poems.

"Yiyue, you can sit back first. I just had some doubts and wanted to ask Lu Langjun for advice. In the face of Lu Qi's provocation, although Wang Fei was not angry, he would never sit idly by and suffer humiliation from him.

"Xiao Langjun......" Aitengana hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice in Turkic: "I read that he is kind to the hot pot restaurant, and when I see him fail, I want to appease him." Unexpectedly, this person is so ignorant, Xiao Langjun does not have to show mercy. ”

Wang Fei smiled, took the cushion handed over by the guy, and knelt opposite Lu Qi.

"I don't know if there is anything you need to ask for advice from Fei Lang-kun?" Lu Qi took advantage of the strength of the wine and sat on the couch with a big grin.

"Dare to ask Lu Langjun, do you think today's imperial examination system is fair?" Wang Fei got straight to the point.

"The bottom of the lush stream is pine, and the seedlings are away from the mountain. With the diameter of the stem, the shade of this hundred feet. The world is in a high position, handsome and subordinate. The topography makes it so, and the origin is not a one-time. Lu Qi memorized half of Zuo Si's "Yongshi", and then roared angrily: "Yang Xuan's belly is a straw bag, and it is shocking enough that he has become the champion shamelessly." Does Fei Langjun think this is fair? ”

"Yang Xuan is the champion, there must be someone behind him to put pressure on the examiner, which is naturally unfair. However, does Lu Langjun think that the third place is also unworthy of the name? Wang Fei was still smiling.

After the blue spots on the face of "Uh...... flickered like a crawling centipede for a long time, Lu Qi had no choice but to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: ""Pillow Ge Ji" is full of splendor, and Fei Langjun deserves his name. ”

"Thank you, Lu Langjun, for sure." Wang Fei bowed his hand and said, "Ask Lu Langjun again, if you are in a high position one day, Ling Lang will take the Jinshi exam." Will you choose to speak for your son, or will you make a drastic move to reverse the injustice in the imperial examination? ”

"Naturally, we want to get rid of the old and cloth the new, and return the world to a good man." Lu Qi's expression was abrupt.

"What if because of your change, Ling Lang will fall off the list? When the time comes, the hustle and bustle makes Lang noisy, and the back house will never be peaceful. I wonder if Lu Langjun will regret it? ”

"The morality in my heart is like the sun and the moon, how can I regret it because my family is small?" Lu Qi slapped the table vigorously and gritted his teeth.

Wang Fei clapped his hands and praised: "Lu Langjun is as jealous as hatred, which makes a certain admirer." However, I ask Lu Langjun, I don't know how you will change the injustice of the imperial examination? ”

"Huh?" Wang Fei's last question left Lu Qi speechless. After learning that he had failed, his chest was full of anger, but he didn't think too much about the statute of the imperial examination.

"Could it be that Fei Langjun has a countermeasure?" Lu Qi squinted and asked, looking disdainful.

"The disadvantages of today's imperial examinations are first and foremost secret. Before the exam, there is a general list of papers; There is pen and ink handwriting to be found in the test; There are various items to say after the exam. If it is not secret, it will be unfair, and if it is unfair, it will be difficult to convince people. Therefore, the key to change lies in secrecy. It is necessary to prohibit the passage of the list and the scroll, and block the hole of clinging to the powerful; The examiner must be cut off from contact with the outside world to eradicate the risk of leaking questions; All examination papers must be copied and the road of handwriting fraud must be cut off; The poems and texts of all scholars must be published after the list is published, so as to win the trust of the world; It is necessary to severely punish the law and severely punish the malpractice. Wang Fei said five countermeasures in one breath, the logic was clear and organized, and Lu Qi was dumbfounded.

Ai Tenggna, who was leisurely tasting cherries, saw that Xiao Langjun was like a river, and said that Lu Qi, who was full of anger, was dizzy and couldn't touch the north, and snickered in her heart: "Xiao Langjun has hills and valleys in his chest, and I don't know how many ideas and ideas he has hidden. Even the family teacher is often shocked by Xiao Langjun, you are just a top student in Luoyang Mansion, and you dare to hurt people without measuring your strength, you have to suffer a little. Speaking of family teachers, Du You Du Langjun is calm and knowledgeable. I also took the eleventh place on this list, a high school jinshi. The tutor will be happy to learn about it in Tingzhou. It's just that Master and Master and Mother live separately, so it's really inconvenient......"

When Ai Tenggena's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, Lu Qi, who had a dry mouth, was stunned for a long time before retorting: "Fei Langjun, what you said is indeed beautiful, but I don't know if you can implement it according to the rules in the future?" Don't just boast about the sea and scare people. ”

"Lu Langjun, you will definitely not be convinced by a certain word." Regarding Lu Qi's response, Wang Fei had already expected: "I don't know if Lu Langjun has paid attention to the ban on bad money." ”

"Bad money ban?" Lu Qi shook his head: "I saw the ban under the imperial court, but I didn't pay attention to it. Vaguely speaking, the ban seems to be caused by Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong's struggle for power. ”

"Lu Langjun has a clear mind, and he tells the root of this matter in one word." Wang Fei still has some appreciation for Lu Qi's quick wit and talent: "Just now Lu Langjun is worried that a certain person will only talk about it, and it just so happens that he has made up his mind to make a difference in the matter of bad money. I don't know if Lu Langjun can stay in Chang'an for a few more days, not just saying beautiful things. If the entanglement is not enough, it can be paid by somebody. ”
