Chapter 368: For the sake of face

The Hanlin officials of the Dayong Dynasty and the scholars in the Temple of Literature together formed the examiner system of the final examination, and the chief examiner was still two, and the Temple of Literature and the imperial court each sent one.

The person sent by the Confucian Temple is likely to be a scholar, and the person sent by the imperial court is likely to be an official similar to the head of the Ministry of Rites or the head of the Hanlin Academy.

There will be sixteen to twenty room officials left, and each room will be composed of two people, the court will send Hanlin officials, and the Confucian Temple will still send bachelors.

Although it is possible for the officials in the Hanlin Academy to be appointed by the imperial court as room officials, this does not mean that they have absolute privileges in admitting candidates, after all, the candidates' examination papers are sealed and transcribed, even if the examiner is unable to completely judge the identity of the candidate from a person's article, even if he can judge the person's article, he cannot influence the final score with another room official at the same time.

Tang Jie's statement is a slight exaggeration.

Ji Ning didn't correct anything, he didn't want to show himself more brilliantly, Wen Wu Wu Wu Wu, even if his talent is good, but in this kind of star-studded occasion, he still has to try to keep a low profile, so as not to become the target of public criticism.

A few more people drank a few glasses of wine, at this time the guests outside were almost there, many guests called the girl to accompany the wine, and Ji Ning's table seemed very calm, the five young sons themselves were still very eyesore, and the rest of the tables were still some older people, not only young people like to come to this kind of place.

Just as he was talking, a guy from Tianxianglou came over to greet Ji Ning and said, "Ji Jieyuan, in a while, the Oiran Conference will begin, and today's Oiran Conference, you just need to cheer for it." ”

Tang Xie was already a little dissatisfied, and said: "What do you mean, we can support the scene, and we are not allowed to spend money?" ”

"We don't mean that, you are very welcome to spend money in a place like Tianxianglou, but in any case, the arrival of Ji Jieyuan is our honor, our idea is that Ji Jieyuan can improvise a poem, we can use this poem as a gift and gift, Ji Gongzi's expenses here in the next month are recorded in our Tianxianglou account, and there is no need for Ji Gongzi to spend more money!" The guy laughed.

"What does it mean to let your stewards come out and talk, and find a turtle slave to come out and talk?" Tang Xie said very politely.

That guy was a little red-faced, he was working in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou, and he was originally the Turtle Gong, but the most taboo thing for him was to be called so, but Tang Xie was originally holding back his anger because of his dissatisfaction with the free system of Tianxianglou's hospitality, and his words were a little inferior.

The man said: "Those sons wait a minute, I'll go back and ask my aunt to come out and talk!" ”

Above the turtle father, the higher level is the bustard Niang, to put it bluntly, it is the old bustard of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, the bustard Niang's status in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion is relatively high, they themselves are from ordinary Fengyue women, they know the market very well, and they also understand the preferences of the guests, and women generally have a difficult psychology when they come out to take care of things, and men generally don't like to worry about these old women.

Not long after, Tianxianglou came out with an aunt who went to the capital together, but said that this aunt was not the person in charge of the original Tianxianglou, but just a not very powerful old woman, in her forties, and it was not a charm that still existed, at least in Ji Ning's opinion, the gap between this woman and the Qi Niang she saw on the black market that day was not a star and a half.

"A few distinguished guests, I don't know what to order? If there is any inappropriate hospitality, please let it know and we will do our best to serve you! "As soon as this old woman came out, she didn't speak in a strong enough tone.

Ji Ning even felt that this woman was not qualified to be a bustard, because she spoke too softly.

Once the woman softened, the guest's tone became tougher, and Tang explained, "This aunt doesn't know what to call her?" ”

"The name of the slave family, where can I get into the noble ears of a few nobles, the cheap name is a Ru character, others call a Ru Niang, a few distinguished guests, I was not satisfied with the girl who came out to accompany us to accompany the wine, especially Ji Jieyuan, I don't know what kind of girl Ji Jieyuan likes? Find a few girls who have seen it to come out to accompany the wine, I don't know how? Ru Niang said with a smile.

Although Ru Niang had a smile on her face, Ji Ning felt that this smile was like a dog's tail flower, not brilliant at all, but had a disgusting look.

Ji Ning said: "It's still not necessary. ”

Tang Xie sneered: "See? Our brother Ji is not satisfied with your girls here, do you want to come up to accompany the wine after a while? Especially Liu Ruyi, she has always had a good relationship with our Brother Ji, knowing that our Brother Ji is coming, shouldn't she come out to meet and have a glass of water and wine? ”

"A few guests forgive me, Miss Liu has been unwell after arriving in the capital, it is estimated that she is not adapted, she has not come out to see the guests these days, she may not attend the Oiran Conference tonight, if a few guests want to listen to her music, or play the piano, you can only wait for her body to get better, and then see if you can match the time of a few sons!" Ru Niang said with some regret on her face.

In a word, Tang Xie was very annoyed, he thought that when he arrived at Tianxianglou in the capital, he would be regarded as a first-class distinguished guest, but he didn't expect Tianxianglou to be very perfunctory to him, saying that it was to save face and let him eat for nothing, but the conditions given were not the best enjoyment, but it seemed that he was a little stingy with silver.

For a son of a family like Tang Jie, if he wants to go to the place of Fengyue, what he wants to get is a kind of enjoyment, not a free gift, he doesn't care about that bit of silver, but feels that face is more important.

Tang Xie slapped the table and said: "We are in Jinling City, we are frequent visitors to Tianxianglou, and now we have come to the capital, and we have come to cheer, but we are embarrassed in every way, do you think that we are easy to talk to and will not care about you, or do you think that we are easy to deal with or do you have to come to you with your face?" There are some famous Qinlou Chu Pavilions in the capital, as long as I take out the silver, a large number of Qinlou Chu Pavilions are waiting to invite us in, believe it or not? ”

Han Yu was also very angry, relatively speaking, Song Rui and Xie Tai's tempers were better, and Ji Ning was a little irrelevant.

Ru Niang hurriedly laughed and said: "What did a few distinguished guests say, Miss Liu is really unwell, it is better to be like this, after a while, those girls who came out to run for the Oiran have a good appearance, and a few sons have taken a fancy to her, please invite her to come up and have a glass of wine, and it will be regarded as Tianxianglou to compensate the sons." Ji Jieyuan, we really need your words in Tianxianglou, you must appreciate your face! ”
