Although the quiver competition is extremely exciting, there are only more than 100 onlookers, and only a very small number of the more than 1,200 guests in this alum tower, the civil officials despise the generals, even if they shout earth-shattering, they will not move, neither go to watch, nor want to know what is happening.

As soon as the guests returned to their seats, the effects of the kettle and arrow competition disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened.

Li Yanqing's seat is at No. 337 in the Autumn Building, and when he entered the door, he got the seat card, and the guests in the Autumn Building were mostly middle and lower-level officials, although Li Yanqing was not the only one who participated in the banquet, but most of them sat in the Spring Building or the Summer Building by virtue of their parents' status and power, and Li Yanqing was the only one sitting in the Autumn Building.

The guests of the autumn building are also the most, there are five hundred people, there are five rows before and after, one hundred seats in each row, the furnishings are much inferior to the spring building and the summer building, there is only a small table and dishes, although the dishes are also good porcelain, but there is no furnishings in addition, not even a vase of flowers, and it is very crowded, everyone will be very inconvenient to sit or go to the toilet.

But this is also normal, how can the treatment of a sixth- or seventh-grade petty official be compared with Xiangguo and Taiwei?

Li Yanqing sat in the penultimate row, and he found that there were young men in front of him and on the left and right, some of them were young officials with good manners, and some were strong guards, but more of them were scholars with no merit and fame, most of them were the children of famous and powerful families, studying hard at home to prepare for the imperial examination.

At this time, all the young people were dressed well-dressed, exceeding the etiquette of going to the banquet, as if they had come to go on a blind date, with a hint of pretentiousness on their faces, and their seat cards seemed to be improvised, mostly wooden, not like they were a bronze medal.

Li Yanqing suddenly woke up, Zheng Rongtai told him that his grandmother temporarily invited some young talents to give her ex-husband's granddaughter a blind date, it seems that Zheng Rongtai is talking about these young people.

This discovery made Li Yanqing slightly dissatisfied, if these young guests who were temporarily invited were removed, then wouldn't his seat be at the end of the line.

But as soon as his mind turned, Li Yanqing was relieved in his heart, he had no father in a high position, no prominent family background, no one envied the fame of Jinshi, and a typical three-no personnel, why did the Zheng family look down on him?

At this time, a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old young official next to him smiled and said, "Can you discuss something with this virtuous brother?" ”

Li Yanqing only realized after a while that the other party was talking to him, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "What are you discussing?" ”

The young official pointed to the guest on Li Yanqing's right and said, "This is my friend, we want to sit together, can we change seats with Brother Xian." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Then please!" ”

He picked up his teacup and stood up, and changed seats with the young official next to him, "Thank you!" Thanks a lot! The man hurriedly clenched his fists in thanks.

Perhaps because of the change of position, the young official felt embarrassed not to say hello, so he smiled at Li Yanqing and asked, "May I ask the virtuous brother, where is your surname?" ”

"Brother Tai is polite, I am exempted from your surname Li, and I am currently studying in Taixue."

"It turned out to be too a student, not bad! Not bad! ”

"I don't know what Ling Zun is—" the young official asked tentatively again.

"A businessman is not enough!"

Li Yanqing was a little unhappy in his heart, and replied coldly, generally speaking, after he introduced himself, the other party should also introduce himself in time, this is the etiquette of reciprocity.

But instead of introducing himself, the other party asked about Li Yanqing's father's background, obviously just wanting to know why he was able to attend the banquet in Alum Tower, which was not only rude, but also exposed that he was the kind of person who tended to be inflammatory.

When the other party heard that Li Yanqing's father was just a businessman, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he still smirked twice, so he ignored Li Yanqing and continued to chat with his friends next to him.

At this time, Li Yanqing saw Zheng Rongtai hurriedly coming from behind, looking east and west to find something, Li Yanqing knew that he was looking for himself, so he smiled and raised his hand, Zheng Rongtai saw him, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly beckoned to him, whispered a few words, and seemed to have an urgent matter to ask him to come over.

"Borrow light, I'm sorry, let everyone go!"

Li Yanqing walked out of his seat with difficulty, attracting a dissatisfied gaze, the seat was too tight, he walked around alone, and dozens of people around him had to get up and make way.

"Fat brother, what's the matter?"

"You come with me, someone wants to see you." Zheng Rongtai pulled Li Yanqing and left.

"Are those of your friends?"

"It has nothing to do with them, those bastards don't give me face, they deserve to beat them, these guys bully the soft and fear the hard, they themselves don't dare to provoke you again, but go out and beware of their minions."

The two walked to a door behind the Xia Building, Zheng Rongtai pointed to the door and said with a smile: "I don't know what is going on, it was my father who asked me to come to you, it should be nothing, please come in!" ”

Li Yanqing was confused, pushed the door and walked into the room, only to see four people sitting in the room, Zheng Rongtai's parents, and a middle-aged couple, Li Yanqing immediately recognized the noble lady, isn't it the lady who said that he was peeping in the afternoon?

However, seeing that she was full of smiles, there seemed to be no malice, Li Yanqing hurriedly gave Zheng Rongtai's parents a salute, "The younger generation sees uncle and aunt!" ”

Zheng Sheng smiled and introduced him to the middle-aged man next to him, "This is General Zuo Weigao, he wants to meet you!" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly saluted, the general of the left guard, Gao Shen, is the descendant of the founding father Gao Huaide, his title and official position are very high, but he has no real power, like all powerful families, the Gao family is not willing to be in name for generations, they also want to try to cultivate children, but the children who can get ahead are really rare, in addition to cultivating children, another way is to recruit Jinshi as a son-in-law.

Gao Shen has three daughters, the eldest daughter is married to a Jinshi who has been in politics for two years, and now she is the county magistrate of a large county, and the eldest son-in-law will be promoted next year, and the second daughter is married to the Cao family, and now only the youngest daughter is left in the boudoir, although she is only fifteen years old, but it is time to think about lifelong events in advance.

Gao Shen is actually not very interested in Li Yanqing, the son of a businessman, and the student is far inferior to Jinshi, but his wife is full of interest, and he must let him meet Li Yanqing. Because of his wife's face, Gao Shen had to ask the Zheng family to help him match.

Gao Shen waved his hand gently and said: "Li Shaojun, please sit down, we don't mean to be disrespectful, we just want to get to know Li Shaojun and chat casually." ”

Li Yanqing saw that the other party was polite, but he was not disgusted, so he sat down and asked with a smile: "Gao Shibo, what does it take Li Yanqing to serve?" ”

"Li Shaojun is polite, I just heard the introduction of Zheng Dongzhu, it seems that Li Shaojun is too educated to give up his life, is that so?"

Gao Shen was not interested in Li Yanqing's identity as the young proprietor of Baoyanzhai, but he was a little interested in Li Yanqing's Taixue Shangsheng.

"Exactly!" Li Yanqing frankly admitted.

"But as far as I know, although Li Shaojun is Xiangzhou Xie Yuan, he can't enter the Taixue Upper House, he should be the inner house, how can he enter the upper house?"

The Zheng couple glanced at each other, and they were equally puzzled, their son had to work hard to reluctantly enter the Taixue Inner House, how could Li Yanqing enter the upper house, this kind of qualification could not be bought even if he had money.

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "It's a senior who happens to have a place in the upper house, so he recommended me." ”

"Oh! I don't know which senior recommended it? ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't tell his identity without the consent of my senior." ”

Gao Shen's mind changed rapidly, the number of recommended places for the upper house students was only ten every year, and the Son of Heaven and the Queen took up four, but not just anyone could get it, even he couldn't take his turn, only powerful people like Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Liang Shicheng had a chance.

Gao Shen immediately understood, who said that this teenager has no background, but his background is hidden deeply, and only by studying deeply will it gradually surface.

Gao Shen smiled slightly: "I'm just a little curious, and I don't mean to ask, please don't be surprised." ”

"General Gao is polite, I won't care!"

"Then I wish Li Shaojun an early high school fame and a bright future, Shaojun, please!"

"Thank you General Gao, thank you Uncle Zheng, thank you two ladies, the younger generation has left."

Li Yanqing saluted, turned around and left the room, as soon as he left, Mrs. Pan asked eagerly, "What does the master think of this son?" ”

Gao Shen nodded and praised: "Knowing books and etiquette, children can be taught!" ”

"Then the lord said, should we-"

Gao Shen glanced at the Zheng couple again, "What do you think of Brother Xian and younger siblings?" ”

How can the Zheng couple talk so much about this kind of thing, if it doesn't work out, or regret it afterwards, they will offend people.

Zheng Sheng smiled implicitly: "As long as General Gao likes it!" ”

The implication is, 'Just look at it, don't ask us.'" ’

Gao Shen understood, so he smiled at his wife and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, let me think about it again." ”
