If you have to say who is the person Cui Ling doesn't want to see the most, Qin Ze will definitely be the first. Because when facing him, Cui Ling felt that he had no way to start.

Suppressing people with talent?

Pull it down, the last time the Chang'an Poetry Conference had a song "Funeral Flower Yin", which convinced the hearts of many talents.

Bullying?

Don't think about this anymore, his father has already given him an ultimatum about Song Wenzheng's matter last time, if he dares to do this again, it is estimated that he will be beaten to death.

The key Qin Ze is a hob meat, just like a smooth egg, there is no way to start. Put it on ordinary people, who would rob him of a woman without knowing how to do it.

If he Cui Ling opens his mouth, I don't know how many nobles are waiting to send him a concubine. But Qin Ze didn't know what to do like this, which made Cui Ling feel extremely uneasy.

On the carriage over there, Wang Yuxi also poked his head out. She first looked around, as if she was looking for someone.

I also saw Qin Ze standing outside the aggregation building at a glance, and I didn't know what to think at the moment.

I just feel like my heart is in a mess and I want to get out of here.

But Cui Ling over there had already greeted her with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to hold her hand. She naturally didn't allow it, so she retracted her hand lightly and skillfully dodged it, and Chunxiang on the side naturally held Wang Yuxi's hand.

Cui Ling saw that Wang Yuxi deliberately avoided him, and he was also slightly stunned. I just felt that I was hot all over, and a trace of anger rose in my heart.

Originally, he wanted to stimulate Qin Ze, but he didn't want Wang Yuxi to give himself face so badly, so that he couldn't give birth to the stage.

Qin Ze over there also discovered this scene between the two, and also glanced at Cui Ling with disdain, and then pretended to be careless and walked towards Wang Yuxi.

"Miss." Chunxiang called Wang Yuxi in a low voice and motioned for him to look over to Qin Ze.

How could Wang Yuxi not see Qin Ze, she had also thought a lot about it these days, and she suddenly realized that if she had to choose between Cui Ling and Qin Ze. She is still willing to choose Qin Ze, what glory and wealth, what brocade clothes and food, she can not care. All she cared about was why the thief had treated her like that.

It's like playing tricks on her, what she used to think was that whoever wanted to marry her, as long as she could give herself a name, she would be willing.

But now he puts the two of them in front of him, if this matter is known by his father, he will definitely choose the Cui family without hesitation. Because this is an excellent opportunity to elevate his own family, and at the same time, compared with a little Jiupin joining the army, the Cui family is also more attractive.

It can even be said that as long as Cui Ling proposes to marry him, Wang Yuxi has no room for resistance. She is just a small businesswoman, and compared to a big family like the Cui family, she has no power to speak at all.

She is not like Li Shiyun who can decide her own choice, it can be said that she has no choice at all. But Wang Yuxi himself knows that although Cui Ling has always been polite, it can be seen from today's events that the other party may just want to get the rabbit shoulder purple pen.

For her, it was nothing more than a hypocritical perfunctory.

So seeing Qin Ze's appearance now, she suddenly felt that she hated it in her heart. She hated why she hadn't met earlier, and she hated why Qin Ze had appeared at this time.

But why didn't she have a trace of expectation in her heart, and how could she not have a trace of joy?

Hearing his maid reminding him, Wang Yuxi didn't look up at all, but pretended not to see Qin Ze and continued to walk forward.

And Qin Ze even pretended not to see Wang Yuxi, and just walked forward.

The two men met face to face, their shadows intertwined, and then separated from each other.

But Qin Ze never stopped, it was really as if he didn't see Wang Yuxi.

At this moment, Wang Yuxi suddenly felt stiff, and the whole person felt dizzy.

"Could it be that all this is just his own passion, and he is simply pitying himself?"

This moment was almost frozen into eternity, and Wang Yuxi could only feel a tearing feeling in his heart.

But in the next second, Qin Ze suddenly turned around, then pretended to be surprised, took a step back and ran in front of Wang Yuxi, and shouted in surprise: "Miss Yuxi, why are you here?" What a coincidence. ”

Except for Wang Yuxi, no one can understand her current mood, this kind of sudden change of ups and downs, Rao is a little unbearable.

Especially the tears in the corners of her eyes, which turned into a full stomach full of grievances at this moment, and she was almost about to fall.

At the moment, he didn't pay attention to Qin Ze at all, but strode away without looking back.

It's just that at the moment of staggering, he quietly reached out and wiped away this tear, although it was hidden, it was in the eyes of Chunxiang on the side, but it also caused a blur in Chunxiang's eyes.

And Qin Ze, who was left aside, has not yet reacted. He didn't expect Wang Yuxi to have such an attitude, and directly ignored himself.

"Erhu, I just read it wrong?" Qin Ze asked at Erhu with a little disbelief.

Erhu pursed his lips and looked at Wang Yuxi's back, and then replied with some disdain: "Young master, you are not mistaken, people are really too lazy to pay attention to you." ”

Qin Ze's embarrassed appearance also made Cui Ling on the side look at it, and he was still depressed at the moment, and his mood became very good. With a hearty smile, he strode after him, but he pretended to be Qin Ze before, and said with a pompous look of surprise: "Master Qin, why are you here, what a coincidence." ”

Looking at Cui Ling's gloating face, Qin Ze said that he didn't want to pay attention to it at that time, and pretended not to see it like Wang Yuxi. With a shake of his head, he followed Wang Yuxi.

"I ......"

Only Cui Ling, who was left behind, gritted his teeth as he looked at Qin Ze's back. However, seeing that Qin Ze was chasing after him, Cui Ling was not far behind, and he also followed quickly.

It can be said that Wang Yuxi has now inexplicably become the weight of the two people's contention, which has completely aroused the contradiction between the two people.

There are three floors in the aggregation building, the first floor is a place for ordinary people to eat, and they are all long cases, and more than a dozen stools are placed next to them. Usually it is to sell some ordinary food, and those merchants and diners who pass by usually eat here.

The second floor is more elegant, divided into private rooms, which are places for some dignitaries or scholars to seek peace.

As for the upper three floors, they are not accessible to ordinary people. The aggregation building is different from the Fengya building, and the aggregation building is more biased towards some readers. Therefore, if you want to go up to this third layer, you must have some literary names.

This is also a feature of the aggregation building, and it is also deliberately done by those who claim to be merry and talented, in order to flaunt themselves.

This time, Cui Ling's banquet for Wang Yuxi was on the third floor, although Wang Yuxi's poem name in Chang'an was not loud, but with Cui Ling leading the way, he could also go up to the third floor to eat.

It's just that for Qin Ze, it's a little difficult.

The shopkeeper of the aggregate building is also a reader. I heard that he was also from a Ming Shu background, but he was unhappy in the officialdom, so he simply slapped his butt and resigned to open this restaurant.

Don't underestimate the title of a Mingshu, but anyone who can pass the Mingshu exam also has a certain strength.

During the Zhenguan period, the subjects of the imperial examination were not as rigid as those in later generations, not that only Baguwen and the like were examined.

At this time, the imperial examination system was obtained by Li Er by inheriting and developing the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty, which opened up a new way for the Shu people to participate in politics. and Enyin and Variegated Flow, which are listed as the three major ways to elect officials in the Tang Dynasty.

And this imperial examination includes six subjects: Xiucai, Jinshi, Ming Jing, Ming Law, Ming Shu, and Ming Calculation. Among them, it goes without saying that all those who can pass the examination have entered the Guozijian.

And the rest of the three subjects of Ming Law, Ming Shu, and Ming Arithmetic, those who pass the examination can engage in specialized work. Most of them are petty officials in the Ministry of Industry, Criminal Department, etc.

Like the shopkeeper of this aggregate building, it is the book in the first year of Zhenguan's examination. He was also assigned to the household department and became a branch member, mainly to count the tax income of the imperial court and the like.

He also showed that his work was too boring, and left a sentence: "The birds dance in the clouds, and the fish are more leisurely in the water." He resigned and said goodbye to the household department, and finally became the shopkeeper of the aggregate building.

In addition to these four subjects, there are also the Ming Jing and the Ming Law, which can be said to be the most popular during the Zhenguan period, because as long as you pass the exam. It means that you are already an alternate officer, and you only need to wait for the people above to retire, and you can go up to the top.

It is precisely because of the famous poetry of this shopkeeper that gradually this restaurant has become an elegant place for readers. As soon as I came and went, I had nothing to do, so I put down this rule, and those who want to go up to the third floor are either talented people in Chang'an, or they must be able to go to the shopkeeper's quatrain.

In terms of Qin Ze's poem title, not to mention going up to the third floor, it is estimated that the second floor is enough to choke. Although the Chang'an Poetry Conference was magnificent, under the powerful aura of Changsun Chong, Qin Ze had already been directly annihilated.

However, compared to fame, Qin Ze is no worse than Changsun Chong. It's just that his reputation is obviously not good enough, first he showed his face through the matter of the rat demon, and then he is now the title of Donkey Boy.

It can be said that most of the people in Chang'an know that there is a donkey boy in Chang'an, and he insists on saying that donkeys are horses.

It's just that if you don't say anything else, it's not a good reputation just to say that this reputation is not a good one. Not to mention letting the shopkeeper take a look, but any scholar can't look down on Qin Ze.

Therefore, if Qin Ze wants to go up to the third floor, he must match the pair. On the roof railing of this building, five pairs of single pairs are hung.

On weekdays, they are tied up with fine silk, and only when they can be used do they untie the silk belt.

This kind of practice of wanting to cover up and be ashamed is actually somewhat similar to Qin Ze's hunger marketing. The more you cover up, the more people want to see.

And in the end, this has become a living signboard of the aggregation building, especially when the annual list is released, a large number of top-ranked readers will pour here.

Qin Ze stepped into this gathering building, and when he raised his eyes, he saw five pairs of scrolls hanging in the air, and the green and yellow ribbons tied them firmly. The ribbon hanging low is also constantly swaying with the majesty.

"It's kind of interesting." Qin Ze looked at the pair on the roof and whispered softly.
