The three of them drank happily in the restaurant and talked about everything, and the previous unhappiness was swept away. Most of the gatherings between literati are about literary subsets, but Ye Yu, Xiao Guoliang and Yue Chen are not taboo.

During the conversation, Ye Yu learned that this Xiao Guoliang from Fuzhou was also Xie Yuan from Benzhou. When he thought of the sword dancing painting outside the door of the Fang Cai Inn, Ye Yu admired it.

Because when it comes to painting, Ye Yu will definitely not be inferior to anyone now. But to let him do two things, it's really hard for him to do what he wants.

And under this conversation, Ye Yu's erudition and strong knowledge also made Xiao Guoliang and Yue Chen impressed. Because whether it is a subset of classics and history, three tombs and five classics, six arts and eight subjects, or the so-called hundred schools of astronomy and geography, there seems to be no one that Ye Yu does not dabble in.

It's just that the two of them don't know that Ye Yu's own thinking is not this era. Moreover, these days of being buried in the stacks of books have also made up for the vast number of books. Ye Yu relied on his super memory to read through a large number of classics under pressure.

When the last three of them left the restaurant, Yue Chen pulled Ye Yu aside and said, "Brother Ye, why don't you move to live with Yue's second uncle, so you can have a clean place to study your homework!" ”

"Brother Yue is gracious, and the younger brother understands it, but Master Yue has a lot of opportunities, and the younger brother still doesn't bother!" Ye Yu said in his heart, your second uncle, Yue Lei, is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and it is better for me to be a scholar who is not close to the earth.

"Brother Ye......"

Ye Yu saw that Yue Chen was still trying to persuade him, so he grabbed the words: "Brother Yue's kindness, the younger brother remembers it in his heart, you also know that the younger brother has always been sloppy, and there are too many rules in the house but he is restricted......"

"Hey! Brother Meng is like this, and so are you! Yue is not strong, if there is any need during the period, just open your mouth! Although Yue has not lived in Lin'an for a long time, he is more familiar than Brother Ye! ”

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Yue Chen then hesitated, but finally spoke: "Brother Ye, although Brother Meng's words and deeds are a little inappropriate, I hope you will bear more!" Although he is arrogant and stubborn on weekdays, his character is not bad......"

Ye Yu was slightly stunned, but then he was relieved: "Brother Yue's words, the junior brother has written it down, and the person who can make Brother Yue a confidant will definitely not be a narrow-minded person!" ”

The three of them separated in Taibai Restaurant, Ye Yu and Xiao Guoliang talked and laughed, and they also browsed a lot of scenery along the way. There is an ancient acacia outside the gate of the Gongyuan, and it is said that this is the place where Wenguang shoots bullfighting, so it is called "Wenchang Huai".

Its roots are on the east side of the road, and its main trunk is curved to the west, so the canopy is on the west side of the road. This acacia grows like a sleeping dragon, the branches are vigorous, and it is said that this acacia is related to the candidate's literary luck.

Therefore, the candidates who participated in the imperial examination, in order to ask for a good fortune, came here to bow and worship, so as to get the fish to leap to the dragon gate, so Huai is known as the famous Huai of Lin'an, the capital.

Every time the big exam season, the ancient acacia is hung with red, red, green and green wishing strips, swaying with the wind and becoming a major landscape on the street. There were many women in the crowd who prayed for blessings, but most of them were young women, presumably for the title of their lover's gold list.

"Sister, you haven't told Xiaomei yet, why are you here to pray for blessings......" A girl dressed as a maidservant carried a small bamboo flower basket in her right arm. At the moment, he was chattering and asked a woman in a blue mink fur.

The woman folded her hands and offered incense and candles, all of which were very quiet, and it was this quietness that made the maidservant Xiaomei on the side very anxious.

"Sister......

"Alright, let's go back......"

The woman saw Xiaomei pouting and reluctant to leave, so she immediately smiled: "You Nizi, don't you go back with me?" ”

"Sister, you haven't answered Xiaomei's question yet?"

"Him?" The woman was slightly stunned, but then smiled faintly, and in the smile, there was joy, bitterness, and memories......

"Sister, say it quickly!" Xiaomei shook the woman's jade arm and urged the woman under the cyan cloak.

Under the cyan mink cloak, the woman's delicate body trembled slightly, and then she pretended to be displeased and said: "It's cold, come back to the cold house with me......"

After the woman finished speaking, she ignored Xiaomei and left the crowd with a gentle lotus step. Xiaomei waited for a long time and didn't wait for an answer, her angry little face was flushed, she stomped her feet and reluctantly followed!

At this time, Ye Yu and Xiao Guoliang traveled here, talking and laughing, Ye Yu unintentionally caught a glimpse of the corner of the street, a beautiful shadow was quite familiar, but it passed by in an instant and did not see the face clearly.

"Brother Ye, why don't you and I make a wish here, praying for this Kechun to be on the list?" Xiao Guoliang didn't seem to notice Ye Yu's distraction, but pointed to Gu Huai, where the crowd gathered, and said.

Xiao Guoliang's words pulled Ye Yu back in his trance: "Forehead, ......, hehe, could it be that Brother Xiao also believes in this way of wishing and praying?" ”

"Eh, Brother Ye doesn't want to make fun of me, Xiao just wants to have a good time! Since you have come here, it is not a celebration? ”

"Brother Xiao is right!"

When the two came to the ancient acacia, there were not only many men and women praying for blessings under the big tree, but also many tables and tables with pen and ink. The two of them each wrote their own names, and their respective entourages threw them towards Guhuai.

When She Dongcheng replaced Ye Yu and threw the wishing tape towards Guhuai, Ye Yu followed the trajectory of the ribbon and suddenly saw that there was a cyan ribbon where the ribbon was hanging.

And in the small lines of fly's head on this ribbon, he actually found his name. Well? Could it be that among the candidates for this subject, there are still people with the same name as themselves? That's right, it must be so, Ye Yu firmly thinks so.

When Ye Yu left Guhuai and left, a cold wind blew, and the ribbons on the branches stretched slightly, making a crisp sound. On more than one ribbon, Ye Yu's name is prominently displayed......

Then the two returned to the Yunlai inn, and when they passed the counter to register, the shopkeeper of the inn greeted them with a smile, and immediately asked Ye Yu for Mobao, and wished Ye Yu Jinke High School.

Ye Yu was confused by this sudden courtesy. Xiao Guoliang whispered a few words beside Ye Yu, and he understood the reason. In fact, this is already a kind of tradition, whenever the examination period, the major inns in the capital are for the accommodation of the test candidates to ask for Mobao.

If the candidate passes the exam, he will not take any money for room and board, and some silver taels will be given to the candidate for reward. Because if there are candidates in the inn who are on the list, then this inn will also be stained a lot, and in the future, with this publicity, there will be more Mobao as evidence, and the business will be several percent better.

Ye Yu saw that the guys in the store had already served the pen and ink, so naturally he did not postpone it. So he asked the shopkeeper what he was asking for, and when he learned that he was asked to write a plaque, Ye Yu waved his pen and wrote down the four big words of 'guest like a cloud'!

After the Mobao arrived, the shopkeeper was beaming, and immediately personally beckoned Ye Yu and Xiao Guoliang upstairs. He had heard that these two people were both Xie Yuanlang of one side, so the possibility of the title of the gold list naturally did not need to be said.

Those who participated in the imperial examination, ten out of ten* were all children of poor families. These people are far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and they know that it is not easy to come by, and they not only know how to be thrifty, but also are very focused on preparing for the exam.

Usually, the store is very quiet outside the store, everyone lives in the same room, and the door is closed, creating a good review environment for each other. In addition to reading on weekdays, Ye Yu also discusses articles with neighboring Xiao Guoliang.

The champion restaurant in Lin'an is a prestigious time-honored brand. It is said that there was once a champion who came to this building to eat wine and improvised an inscription, and since then the business has flourished and has been passed down to this day.

Every year before the spring meeting, there are always a lot of people gathered here, in order to come here to drink a pot of good wine, eat a good meal, chant a poem with quick thinking, sing a few lines of the board, everyone join in the fun, picture a good omen, in order to get the exam smooth, the gold list is famous.

Now that the big exam is imminent, the movers from all over the country who have entered Beijing to take the exam have come to take care of the business, and the flow of customers is weaving every day, which makes the restaurant shopkeeper smile all day long.

Today, Yue Chen specially chartered a spacious wing room in this champion building, and invited Meng Tong, Ye Yu, Li Mo, and Xiao Guoliang to have a drink. However, Li Mo politely declined, hiding in an inn in Lin'an and did not dare to show up.

Since Ye Yu entered Beijing safely, Li Mo knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, just a few days ago, news came from home that Li Mingming had lost his legs by gangsters.

And in his own home, a fire also burned down the house and belongings. Although there were no casualties, it scared Li Mo, who was far away in Lin'an, out of his courage. Only at this moment did he realize how stupid it was for him to be an enemy of Ye Yu.

"Brother Xiao, are you sure you left a note for him?" Yue Chen saw that Ye Yu had not arrived for a long time, so he immediately asked Xiao Guoliang.

Xiao Guoliang took a sip of wine and said unhurriedly: "Naturally, I left a note, if Brother Ye returns to the inn, he will definitely be able to see it!" ”

"The big exam is coming, he doesn't study his homework in the inn, where will he go?"

"I can't say, he doesn't necessarily have a good relationship in this Lin'an Jingshi......"

"Oh? Brother Xiao, let's listen to it! Yue Chen saw that Xiao Guoliang seemed to have something to say, and then asked anxiously with a smile.

"What to say, Xiao is just talking casually, guess! Guess! ”

Yue Chen was unrelenting, pushed Xiao Guoliang, and smiled happily: "If this kid really goes to visit the Qinglou, it will really be a heavy color and a light friend......

Both of them are relatively bold people, and there are no taboos when they speak. Meng Tong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, took a sip of wine and said flatly: "Presumably Brother Ye has something to do, let's not speculate!" ”

Meng Tong's words are really right, Ye Yu is not preparing for the exam in the inn today, and he really has something to deal with. On the one hand, he was preparing to take root in Hangzhou, and then visited several major silk villages in Hangzhou, and had a certain understanding of the price and quality of cloth and satin in Hangzhou.

Now that Ye Yu has handed over the cloth and satin business to Su Quanzhong, Ye Yu is still very relieved about the Wang shopkeeper arranged by Su Quanzhong in Hangzhou. After discussing some silk sales strategies with Shopkeeper Wang, Ye Yu heard some news about Chuzhou from Shopkeeper Wang.

Hearing that Ye Mingming's legs were broken, as well as the unprovoked fire in Li Mo's house, Ye Yu knew that this was done by someone sent by Li Dayin. Although Li Dayin's move was to anger him, Ye Yu was very unhappy with Li Dayin's assertions. He really wanted to punish these two, but he should also do it himself!
