There is still some estrangement between Ji Ning and Zhao Yuanrong, and the two have never been able to really be like husband and wife. Bayi?? Chinese??.

Even in the small house, many of the conversations between the two are-for-tat.

And not every time the two come over, it's for the last couple thing, and the main purpose of coming to the small house is to talk.

The next day, Ji Ning went to the Temple of Literature very early, and this time was the first time he took the small exam after entering the Temple of Literature.

In the Temple of Literature, there is a small examination every three months, which is to examine the talents and learning of all bachelors and apprentices, and also to play a role in supervising and preventing people in the Temple of Literature from neglecting their studies.

As for the content of the test, it is not the meaning of the Four Books and Five Classics, but more similar to miscellaneous studies, and the things in the subset of the basic scriptures and history may be tested, and the form of the exam is not limited to writing articles, it may only be a silent writing of a paragraph or an investigation of the hidden meaning, which is similar to fill-in-the-blank questions.

In the morning, in the afternoon, Ma Heng will review everyone's exam papers, and the next day will be announced.

After everyone finished the exam at noon, in the afternoon, except for a few people on duty in the entire Confucian Temple, the rest of the people would take turns off, Ji Ning entered the Confucian Temple for a few days, and he didn't know a few people, and he was about to come out, but when he saw Song Shanqian coming over with a few books, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Ji Ning: "This is not Brother Ji?" Let's go out for a drink? ”

Ji Ning and Song Shanqian are not in the same study hall after all, and the meeting between the two is bad in the eyes of many people.

Usually it is people in a study hall in the Temple of Literature who sit together and drink and talk.

And it is very rare for Ji Ning to walk with people from other study halls like this.

Soon, Ji Ning felt a strange gaze, and many people in the Liren Academy were looking at him, looking at him with the gaze of "you are a traitor".

Ji Ning also doesn't understand the mentality of the people in the Temple of Literature, they are both trainees in the Temple of Literature, what's the problem with walking together? Even Ma Heng often brings old friends from non-Confucian temples to come in to play chess together, which shows that this kind of friendship is still very popular in the Confucian Temple.

He thought to himself: "The Confucian Temple has to make up the matter of forming a gang by itself, it is really asking for trouble, I came to the Confucian Temple, and I didn't say how high the achievement must be, now Ziqian and Gongtai have left the capital, I don't even have a friend by my side, so I can contact Song Shanqian more first, so that if there is something, I can also take care of it!" ”

The two of them left the Liren Study Hall and had just walked out of the main gate of the Confucian Temple, but they saw horse-drawn carriages passing by outside, and the carriages were not carrying people, but boxes one by one.

Song Shanqian said: "This is a book shipped out of the Confucian Temple, some of which are out-of-print thread-bound books, which cannot be seen on the market, but there are a lot of good things in the library of the Confucian Temple...... With your identity and status as mine, it's hard to go in and see, alas...... What a pity! ”

Ji Ning asked, "Where did these books go?" ”

"Where else can I send it, of course, to the palace!" Song Shanqian said, "It's strange to say, in the past few dynasties, the palace sent books to the Temple of Literature, but now it is different, it is actually the Temple of Literature to send books to the court, which is really strange." What is the point of sending the books to the palace if they are not placed in the Temple of Literature and sorted out by us? There is a habit of organizing the library of the Hanlin Academy, but the books that are organized are all books that teach knowledge, and they have nothing to do with these miscellaneous books......

"Oh." Ji Ning nodded, and he didn't say anything about it.

But he vaguely felt that this had something to do with Zhao Kangzheng's relationship with the prince.

As for what it is, he has not yet grasped it very clearly, and needs time to observe and understand.

……

……

Song Shanqian looked very talkative, but when it came to the wine table, the amount of wine was not as good as Tang Xie and Han Yu.

However, after only a few glasses of wine, Song Shanqian was already drunk and hazy, and he had to drag Ji Ning to some theater to watch a play.

“…… Brother Ji, let me tell you, the most interesting place in the world is in the theater...... As for why it's fun, there are people who listen to the play, there are people who watch the play, and there is the beautiful female play, haha, I know many of them well, just give a few taels of silver, what do you want to do...... Haha, what can you do...... ...... vomit"

Only then did Ji Ning know why Song Shanqian had no friends in the Temple of Literature, and he needed to go to Liren Shutang to contact him, a person from the outer hall, and make friends.

Because this person's wine is very ordinary, coupled with the light amount of alcohol, and he likes to go to a place like the theater, which is considered by the world to be "lower than the ninth class", so that he can't make any friends.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "If you go to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to be so beautiful, others will think you are elegant, and they will even go along with you." If you go to the theater to find a female actor, others will think that you are not clean, who will dare to associate with you? ”

But Ji Ning also knows that logically speaking, the girls in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou are basically a jade arm and a thousand people pillow with a little red lips, plus in this era, the safety and health of people are not systematically guaranteed, and the girls are sick a lot, but this Song Shanqian, in fact, he is very smart, those female actors did not come out to accompany the guests, he looked for these women, and they were basically clean.

"What do I want to do with these." Ji Ning sighed a little in his heart, "What kind of woman does Song Shanqian like, that's his own business, I care about him......"

Ji Ning asked: "Brother Song, it's not too early, it seems that I should send you back, I don't know where you live." ”

"I'm in the capital, I don't have a family, and I don't have my own home, you can just send me to an inn!" Song Shanqian said drunkly.

Ji Ning is really a little speechless, you are already twenty-five or sixteen years old, haven't you started a family yet?

Ji Ning was about to help Song Shanqian downstairs, and a shopkeeper next to him said, "This son, what is your relationship with Bachelor Song?" He...... He likes to come to the shop to drink when he has nothing to do, and he ...... He doesn't drink enough, he usually pours himself to drink, if you feel troublesome, you can leave the person behind, and the villain will send him to the nearest inn! ”

"He really doesn't have a home in the capital?" Ji Ning frowned.

"This son smiled, he naturally has a family, but it is just a temporary residence, I heard that he lives around the Temple of Literature, as for where he lives, the villain does not know." The shopkeeper is very enthusiastic, after all, Song Shanqian is a trainee bachelor of the Confucian Temple, and his status is respected, and a shopkeeper can have a relationship with him, which shows that Song Shanqian actually has no shelf.

After all, there was not much friendship between Ji Ning and Song Shanqian, and he said, "Then it will be troublesome!" ”

After speaking, Ji Ning left a piece of silver and asked the shopkeeper to send Song Shanqian back.

And he wants to go back early in the afternoon, and by the way, he can deal with Li Xiuer's affairs, which is what he is most concerned about recently.
