Since they have been brothers and sisters with Wen Tingyun, the two have often been in and out of various fireworks venues in the capital together.

Of course, literati like them naturally went to that kind of place not to seek physical pleasure, but to chant and sing poetry and entertain the body and mind.

Su Wuming had heard that most of the women in the Tang Shiqing Building were talented, not only beautiful, but also talented, and many unambitious scholars often came here to seek comfort.

After following Wen Tingyun, Su Wuming found out that Wen Tingyun's fame in this kind of place was much greater than he imagined.

Wen Tingyun's life suddenly reminded Su Wuming of hundreds of years later, the Liu San who was ordered to fill in the lyrics became Liu Yong, both of them were unambitious talents, and the final destination was naturally only this gentle township.

Su Wuming originally wanted to have a good time in this green building like Wen Tingyun, but he soon found that this was not realistic at all, because he was not famous, and he was not very generous, so every time the woman who drank with him was not an excellent beauty.

After going like this a few times, Su Wuming stopped going, because he really didn't have much silver on him.

And when Su Wuming decided not to go to the Qinglou anymore, he suddenly found that he had missed a very important thing, that is, the assessment of Dali Temple has begun for two days, and there is only the last assessment left tomorrow.

When he found out about this matter, Su Wuming suddenly had an unspeakable pain, there was only one last assessment left, did he still have any hope of being admitted?

He regretted drinking and having fun with Wen Tingyun, he Wen Tingyun didn't take the imperial examination seriously at all, but he couldn't do it, he had two ladies at home, and he shouldered the heavy trust of his father-in-law, if he couldn't pass the exam, where would he have the face to go back?

If he really went back like this, he would really not be able to take off the name of Su Luodi for the rest of his life.

Su Wuming was angry and anxious, walking around the room, and soon, he found that things were a little strange, his quota Nangong Fu had already been submitted to the imperial court, so when the exam started, the imperial court always had to send someone to inform him, why did it take two days before someone came to tell him?

Although he has gone too far with Wen Tingyun in the past two days, he has not reached the point of confusion!

After thinking about it like this, Su Wuming looked at Tang Xiong and asked, "Has anyone come to me in the past two days?" ”

Tang Xiong also seemed to know the seriousness of the matter, and he shook his head: "No! ”

Su Wuming's brows furrowed, feeling as if he had been tricked, but who would fool him?

He knew that Wen Tingyun had dealings with many dignitaries in the capital, so he hurriedly went to Wen Tingyun and asked Wen Tingyun to help investigate who was doing him badly behind his back, and after asking Wen Tingyun, he hurried to find out what to take tomorrow's exam, even if tomorrow was the last exam, he had to go and give it a try.

After understanding, Su Wuming was a little big, because the two days were tested for the ability to solve cases and the way of autopsy, and tomorrow the test was poetry.

Su Wuming's two most proficient exams did not pass, and the poems that he did not take the test were not good at it.

Su Wuming sat on the bed and was distressed, thinking to himself that Dali Temple was commenting, as long as he could judge the case, how could he still test poetry, is it because Datang is the pinnacle of poetry culture, so no matter what line of work, he must be able to do it?

Su Wuming really couldn't figure it out, but he still decided to try his luck tomorrow.

And this evening, Wen Tingyun rushed over with a mouthful of wine, and after he saw Su Wuming, he immediately said: "Brother Su, I specially went to the mansion of Prime Minister Li Shen about your affairs, and finally figured it out, you offended the people in the capital!" ”

Su Wuming had heard of the fact that Li Shen, who knew that the Chinese food on the plate and the hard work of the grains, and Wen Tingyun were old acquaintances, but at this time he didn't want to know how the two met and how they had a deep relationship, he just wanted to know who he had offended, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother Wen, what the hell is going on?" ”

Wen Tingyun burped and said, "Well, that's the case, before you came to the capital, did Lord Assassin Shi of Luoyang City give you a famous post, asking you to go and meet Master Li Deyu Li?" ”

Su Wuming nodded again and again: "That's right, there is such a thing, but who can I offend in this matter?" ”

"Who can you offend? Of course it's Lord Li Deyu Li, you take the name of Lord Luoyang City Assassin Shi and don't meet Lord Li Deyu Li, what do you make Lord Li think, he will think that you look down on him, and even think that you are the ** person of Lord Niu Zengru Niu, so he can't give you a dismount? ”

What Wen Tingyun said is very reasonable, Su Wuming just entered the capital, and he doesn't know much about the situation here, but now after listening to these words, his heart suddenly sank, if Li Deyu really thinks that he is Niu Zengru's ** person, then he will inevitably be involved in the Niu Li party dispute.

But after thinking about it carefully, Su Wuming felt that it was wrong, he was just a small person, and he was not famous, was it necessary for Li Deyu to take a knife on himself?

What's more, he has a father-in-law Nangong reinstatement, if Nangong Fu doesn't tell Li Deyu, then Li Deyu can't know it at all!

Who reached Li Deyu's ears about this matter?

After saying this suspicion, Wen Tingyun didn't think much about it, and said directly: "Li Shen and Li Deyu are very good, according to Li Shen, it was your eldest brother who came to the capital to inform Li Deyu, and I thought I wanted to give you the back door, but I didn't expect you to go to see Li Deyu, which made Li Deyu and Li Daren angry." ”

After hearing this, Su Wuming smiled secretly, thinking that Nangong Yin was here to go through the back door for himself, and he was clearly looking for an opportunity to frame himself, so that he could not pass the fame exam, and return to his hometown without face, even if he went back, he would be ridiculed.

Just when Su Wuming secretly hated Nangong Yin in his heart, Wen Tingyun gave an idea: "Brother Su, there is an exam tomorrow, if you really want to be that little Dali Temple judge, I think you might as well go to Li Deyu Li's mansion right now and apologize to him, he will naturally not worry about you much for your father-in-law Nangong Fu's face, a small Dali Temple commentator is just a matter of one sentence!" ”

Wen Tingyun seemed to regard the officials of the imperial court as worthless, Su Wuming naturally couldn't tell him anything, after all, he believed that Wen Tingyun must also know, but he didn't want to believe it, a talented man like him would rather live in his own fantasy forever.

After Wen Tingyun left with a wine burp, Tang Xiong immediately asked: "Brother Su, I think you should go to Lord Li's mansion, there is a name post of Lord Shi, and your position as an evaluator of Dali Temple may be decided." ”

Su Wuming's face was slightly nervous, and then he shook his head: "You don't understand, the things here are far from being as simple as you think, as long as I go to Li Deyu's mansion, I will immediately be considered a member of the Li Party, and at that time, the people of the Niu Party will never give up, so they will survive between the two parties, and in the end, they will only have to be displaced." ”

"So, Brother Su doesn't want to be attached to any party?"

Su Wuming nodded: "Of course!" ”

The night is getting deeper, the sound of drinking downstairs in the inn slowly fades away, and the night in Chang'an is quiet, and occasionally a trace of insects can be heard.

The moonlight poured into the house through the window lattice, casting the shadows of the trees.

Su Wuming lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Early the next morning, Su Wuming got up and immediately rushed to the examination room, it was a very large house, the furnishings in it were very quaint, there were about 20 tables and chairs, and on the top, there were a few Taishi chairs, which were supposed to be sat by the invigilator.

After Su Wuming came to the examination room, it was almost full, so he found a seat and sat down, waiting for the examiner to arrive.

However, after the entire examination room was full, the examiner did not come, and everyone talked to each other, but they did not know what was going on.

After waiting for about half a pillar of incense, several officials in purple robes hurried over, and after they arrived, they looked worried, as if they had no intention of invigilating the exam.

The examinees sat down and did not dare to talk any more, but only looked at the examiners, who talked to each other, and after this time, one of the examiners said to the examiners: "I just received news from the border that the Uighur army is attacking our border on a large scale, and now the court is discussing how to deal with the enemy. ”

After the man finished speaking, he talked with the other examiners again, Su Wuming saw that the examination room was so loose, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder Wen Tingyun said that he had helped several exams cheat in the examination room, it turned out that the invigilator was not strict in invigilating the exam at all.

Although the invigilator is not strict, the candidates do not dare to be sloppy, after all, it is related to whether they can get the position of Dali Temple Judge, so after the invigilator said that, everyone spread out the paper and began to compose poems.

Su Wuming smashed his hair with the end of the brush, and then spread out the paper and wrote a poem casually.

As soon as Su Wuming put down the pen, an invigilator suddenly came to Su Wuming, frowned and asked, "Why haven't I seen you in the first two games?" ”

Su Wuming got up again and again and gave his hand: "Don't hide it, the first two games were in the next and I couldn't come in a hurry, and I only arrived today." ”

The examiner looked Su Wuming up and down, and said, "Don't you know that only this last one, the chance of being selected is very low?" ”

"I know this, but I always have to give it a try!"

The examiner seemed to be very satisfied with Su Wuming's answer, and after bowing slightly, he picked up the poem that Su Wuming had just written, and glanced at it casually, and after taking a look, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Good poem, good poem!" ”
