The prosperity of Xu Jing far exceeded Chen Le's expectations, it can be said that the ten hundred Liang cities do not have the prosperity of Xu Jing, and even the national capital of the nine princes is not one-tenth of the prosperity of Xu Jing.

Chen Le did not go directly to him as Zhao Xian intended, but found a luxury inn with a good location to live in.

This inn is very close to Guozijian, the façade decoration is very high-end, it is the kind of top inn with five pairs of lanterns hung in front of the door, of course, the accommodation cost of this inn is also surprisingly high, all the people who live in this kind of inn are all rich people, and now it is the current time of the Great Xu Imperial Examination, almost all the candidates who stay in the inn are from all over the world, these candidates are almost all from the wealthy family, come to Xu Jing may not be to serve Daxu, most of them are to come to gild.

This inn is called Tianxiang, there are nearly five luxurious buildings before and after, Chen Le likes to be quiet, and lives in the last building, at this time, there are still ten days before the Daxu Liberal Arts Examination, but I can't see the people who live here and study hard, but most people make friends and drink all day long, and are nostalgic for the flower street and willow lane.

Opposite the Tianxianglou Inn is a technical institute, the name is also called Tianxiang, which makes people guess that it belongs to the same boss as this inn.

Although Chen Le has not been to that technical institute, but from the small talk of the people who come and go, it can also be known that this technical institute is still very high-end, there are many Qing people in it, and there are more red people, all of them are national colors and natural fragrance, proficient in blowing, playing and singing, and even a few Oiran can also compose poems and couples, quite literate, but Chen Le has no intention of going to that kind of place to linger, although he does not bury his head in hard study, but he sits in the room all day and drinks tea in a daze, and Yumo and Zeng Jieban are naturally accompanied by the two, one makes tea, the other pours incense, and stays quiet.

In the room opposite Chen Le, there lived a man named Lu Chengfeng, from Longma Academy, who often talked to Chen Le.

"Ah, Qingzhi, make a pot of good tea, let me smell it, what kind of variety is this!" Lu Chengfeng pretended to smell it, and his face suddenly changed: "Qingzhi, your pot of tea is amazing, this is the best hairy tip!" ”

Chen Le smiled, knowing that this Lu Chengfeng had a lot of research on tea, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Lu, please sit down and taste tea together!" ”

Lu Chengfeng was also not polite, sat down with a fart, and then shook his head and said: "Qingzhi, aren't you bored staying in this room every day, the girls in Tianxianglou opposite are all good, why don't you go shopping?" ”

Chen Le squinted his eyes and said, "Brother Lu, are you going?" ”

"I ...... Of course I didn't go, I'm a child of the Lu clan in Jiangdong, how could I go to that kind of place during the exam! When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he immediately turned slightly red and said.

"Uh...... Jiangdong Lu family's children, can Brother Lu know Lu Xiukong? Chen Le asked.

"This, of course I know, he is the most outstanding son of my Lu family, his lineage, Brother Chen asked this, do you know him?" Lu Chengfeng asked curiously.

Chen Le smiled slightly: "There has been a relationship, by the way, Brother Lu, let me ask a question that shouldn't be asked, is Lu Xiukong of your Lu family a man or a woman?" ”

Lu Chengfeng's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and then he said coldly: "Since Qingzhi has seen him, why did he still come to ask me?" ”

Chen Le smiled slightly: "It's just that I can't distinguish between male and female, so I came to ask Brother Lu!" ”

Lu Chengfeng's face twitched a few times, and he suddenly sighed: "Qingzhi doesn't want to bring up this kind of topic again, even if you ask me, you don't know!" ”

Chen Le blinked, and said to himself: "I've seen it once, I'm shocked, if it's red makeup, you might as well put it in the room, and you can enjoy the blessings of all people!" ”

Lu Chengfeng's face changed greatly when he heard this, and then his expression became displeased, and he brushed his sleeves and said, "Qingzhi, I'm leaving!" ”

Chen Le said with a smile: "Brother Lu, let's leave?" Don't have tea? ”

"Hmph......" Lu Chengfeng didn't answer, got up and was about to leave.

Chen Le said leisurely: "Yumo, boil a pot of Longjing before the new rain this year, I want to taste how this year's Longjing is different from previous years!" ”

"You...... Do you even have a dragon well before the rain? Hearing this, Lu Chengfeng suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Le with a shocked expression.

You must know that before the rain, Longjing is a special product of Wu State, and it has no land, but even the Jiangdong Lu family is not everyone can drink this kind of superb tea, only the family elders and some excellent descendants have this right.

"Alas, isn't Brother Lu leaving?" Chen Le immediately asked in surprise.

"I ...... Qingzhi, how can you have this dragon well before the rain? Lu Chengfeng just glanced at it, and saw that the tea leaves taken out by Yumo were definitely genuine.

"Hehe, isn't Brother Lu leaving? I think Brother Lu should not go, how good it would be to sit down and drink tea together, as for the Longjing before the rain, it was the ...... that Lu Xiukong gave me," Chen Le said with some emotion.

Lu Chengfeng looked at Chen Le, finally turned around and sat down again, and then said slowly: "Qingzhi, how did you and him meet?" ”

Chen Le's face was immediately full of emotion, and he said slowly: "It was a warm spring season, it was a day with a full moon, that day, the evening breeze was gentle, the lake was sparkling, there were fish jumping out of the water, and insects chirping in the grass......"

The more Lu Chengfeng listened, the more ugly his face became, and he grabbed the cup on the tea tray and drank it all in one gulp......

The day after Chen Le went to Guozijian to sign up, someone from the palace came.

The person who came was naturally a close confidant of the crown prince Zhao Xiang, a little eunuch, and the little eunuch sent a letter, as well as some rare gifts, the letter was full of greeting words, and also asked Chen Le why he didn't enter the palace to meet him, and said that if Chen Le didn't enter the palace after the scientific expedition, then he Zhao Xiang would have to look at the thatched house three times.

Chen Le smiled slightly after reading the letter, and sighed in his heart, this Da Xu Prince's methods are still too naïve, he can obviously come by himself, but he sent a little eunuch, you know, most people who are really capable are proud, if you can't completely move or shock him, it will be difficult to really serve you!

He replied to Zhao Xian with a letter, but the letter was also full of respectful words, anyway, he wrote whatever the prince liked to hear, and then let the little eunuch take it away.

In the following days, Chen Le still stayed in the room and did not come out, until the day of the imperial examination, he got up for the third watch, then bathed and changed clothes, and when the sky was just dawn, he rushed to the Guozijian.

There are thousands of people who participated in the scientific examination this time, but there are only 300 tributes who will be examined, but these tributes will enter the Golden Palace in the future, and after getting the ranking of the palace examination, they will still be able to stay in Daxu, but I don't know how many people there are.

Chen Le entered the Guozi Prison with thousands of lifters, and only entered the examination room after identification and body searches.
