Back in the inn, Ye Yu's face was gloomy without saying a word, after all, he was still young and vigorous, in the face of everyone's ridicule and ridicule, how could Ye Yu turn a blind eye and listen to it.

The clay man still has three points of fire, let alone a person?

The first to push the door in was Meng Tong, although his face was full of anger, but he did not forget to comfort Ye Yu, so as not to affect the performance of the test.

Today's Meng Tong's appearance surprised Ye Yu, because in Ye Yu's eyes, Meng Tong was very prejudiced against himself. What's more, at the door of the inn not long ago, he reprimanded Meng Tong in public.

And when Meng Tong saw Ye Yu's frank questioning, he didn't hide it at all, but bluntly expressed his thoughts.

"Meng Mou regards you as a competitor, except that Meng Mou's knowledge is not below Brother Ye, and he is somewhat dissatisfied with the blank test questions in the state exam......

Meng Tong was silent for a while, and then continued: "But this is not jealousy, Meng Mou spoke for Brother Ye in front of everyone, but he was just seeking justice for the students in Chuzhou." Xie Yuanlang was humiliated in front of others, how could Benzhou be honored? How can you sit idly by? ”

"Brother Meng, in all fairness, you are indeed a very interesting person!" Ye Yu listened quietly, and finally smiled meaningfully.

At this time, Meng Tong stood up and said indifferently: "Don't affect the test because of those bad people!" Meng doesn't want your mistake to make Meng lose the opportunity to compete fairly! ”

After speaking, Meng Tong stopped staying, turned around and left the wing.

Ye Yu looked at Meng Tong's departing back, not only did he shake his head and say to himself: "It seems that Brother Yue can introduce you as a confidant, but it is a little interesting......

After talking with Meng Tong, Ye Yu's mood suddenly eased a little. After that, Yue Chen and Xiao Guoliang also followed, Yue Chen apologized to Ye Yu with apologies, and Xiao Guoliang also comforted Ye Yu not to be angry.

After making sure that Ye Yu was no longer entangled in this matter, the two of them breathed a sigh. Then the two of them left, and the room was once again peaceful.

She Dongcheng, who was standing on the side, still had anger on his face, looking at Ye Yu sipping tea at the table very quietly, She Dongcheng said angrily: "Big brother, is it like this?" ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you don't count it, what can you do?"

"Humph! If it's in ......"

"Okay, Dong Cheng, you have to remember that you have to be strong in playing tricks! We have no place to stand, and every qiē is empty talk! ”

She Dongcheng smashed his fist against the wall in frustration: "I'm just unwilling!" ”

"Qingliu County is a small place, how can it be compared in Lin'an? You'll get used to it later! Ye Yu wrote a letter on the table, and then handed it to She Dongcheng: "You hand over this letter to the king's shopkeeper of Chengxi Silk Village, and ask him to hand it over to Uncle Su!" ”

"Yes!"

……

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and after Yue Chen returned to the second uncle's house, he was restless in the study. Finally, he closed the scroll, called the scholar Yue An, and left Yue's mansion after a few words.

In a teahouse not far from Yue's house, Yue Chen sat alone at the table by the window, looking at the staircase from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the stairs, and when Yue Chen looked up, a figure appeared in front of him at the top of the stairs. This person was tall, much stronger than Yue Chen.

"Hahaha! Sixth brother, when did you come back? Why don't you tell the little brother, the little brother can also pick up the wind and wash the dust for you! ”

As soon as this person saw Yue Chen, he laughed excitedly, and then took a few steps and opened his arms, about to give Yue Chen a bear hug.

Yue Chen did not refuse, but happily opened his arms to meet it, and then separated, Yue Chen patted the shoulder of the strong man in front of him, and said happily: "Big bear, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?" ”

"Sixth brother, you have been a literati for a long time, and you can't bear to talk about it!"

Although the strong man was not used to Yue Chen's way of speaking, he still smiled and said, "It's good, but without the sixth brother, our brothers always feel empty!" ”

"Ehehe, come, brother sit down and talk!"

"Well, Sixth Brother, are you ...... when you come back here?"

Da Xiong, who sat down, was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yue Chen: "Brother misunderstood, since my father has a life, the only thing for a son of man is to obey, this time I returned to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, and I don't plan to return to my old business!" ”

"Sixth brother! ……”

Seeing Yue Chen's resolute face, Da Xiong's joy suddenly turned into loneliness, and his fat nostrils sighed heavily: "Uncle is really, what imperial examination do you have to participate in, sixth brother?" Is there a fart for reading that Rausch book? ”

"You don't understand, my father is also well-intentioned!"

"I don't understand this, sixth brother, your grandfather is the generalissimo who makes the Jin people frightened, as a descendant, you should learn from the style of your ancestors, what kind of broken books should you learn?"

"Enough! I called you to hear your teaching? ”

Yue Chen put the teacup heavily on the table, but the tea rarely spilled. However, the arms of the big bear on the table felt slightly numb!

"Six...... Sixth brother, don't be angry, Da Xiong is just talking......" was cut off by Yue Chen, and Da Xiong's fat face suddenly showed a look of panic.

It seemed that he also felt that he was too strict with his old friend, Yue Chen then suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Many things are not as simple as Da Xiong thinks!" But you don't have to think too much about it, I'm looking for you today to ask for your help......"

"What does the sixth brother command, just say, Big Bear, I will go to the soup and fight the fire!" Big Bear patted his chest and said very sincerely.

"That Liu Laosan in the Champion Building, you should know! Go and ask me who are the people who are here today, make a list! Then ......"

"Big Bear understands the old rules, beat all these people to cripple!"

"Nope! These people are all famous moves, so don't be too ostentatious! All you have to do is say hello to each other! Let them also have a long memory, what to say and what not to say! ”

"As for Liu Laosan, there is no need to touch him, this person has something to do with Taiwei Zhang, so as not to cause a commotion! You just need to let the champion building be full of birds in three days! ”

"Oh...... Sixth brother, what is a door? ”

"Eh, his grandma, let you read more books on weekdays, you bastard just don't listen! It means that there will be no guests in the champion building for three days, understand? ”

Da Xiong, who was scolded by Yue Chen, actually laughed stupidly: "This is only four words, it means so long!" Hehe, sixth brother, your words, Da Xiong is the most comfortable to listen to! ”

"Don't get out of here, be careful I kick your ass!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

When the big bear staggered down the teahouse, the corners of Yue Chen's mouth showed a wry smile, and finally he couldn't help but feel sad. Quietly pour a cup of fragrant tea, and taste the bitterness in the tea by yourself.

Smelling the fragrance of the tea, Yue Chen said softly: "Brother Ye's Maofeng tea is really good, no wonder it will be listed as tribute tea!" ”

"Whew! Sixth brother, you are not preparing for the exam at home, but you are eating tea here, if I sue sù daddy, I will definitely not be able to spare you! Shortly after the words ended, a young woman came up from the top of the stairs.

Yue Chen looked at this woman, and was suddenly a little cramped, and then said embarrassedly: "It turned out to be Sanniang, why are you here?" ”

"Come with you......" Yue Sanniang gently stroked the hem of her skirt and walked up in a few steps.

The reason why Yue Sanniang called Yue Chen the sixth brother was because Yue Chen was ranked sixth in the ranking of the male members of the Yue family. And Yue Sanniang, although she is called Sanniang, is only the third among the daughters of the Yue family. In terms of age, Yue Chen is a few years older than Yue Sanniang.

"Follow me...... You know everything? When Yue Chen heard this, he was a little stunned, like a child who had done something wrong, and didn't know what to say.

Yue Sanniang smiled, and said with a joke in her smile: "No one knows the little overlord who dominated Lin'an back then, and the Yue family Liulang has an ancestral legacy!" Sixth brother, you don't want to go back to your old business, do you? ”

"Nonsense, now your sixth brother is a son of the Imperial Examination, and he will soon take the examination!"

"Yes, that's good, otherwise the little sister will have to inform her father and third uncle about this!!"

When Yue Chen heard this, he immediately became nervous: "Don't! My good sister, this matter must not be known to the second uncle and my father, otherwise the consequences will be very strict! ”

"Then let me ask you, is that Ye Yu from Qingliu County also coming to participate in this exam?"

"Uh...... Sanniang, what are you asking for? ”

"Answer the question honestly, otherwise ......" Yue Sanniang slowly clenched her pink fists in front of Yue Chen and Yue Chen, and her beautiful eyes showed threat.

Yue Chen secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly comforted Yue Sanniang: "Okay, good!" I said, that's right, he came to Lin'an, and he took the exam as Chuzhou Xie Yuanlang! My father and all the officials in Chuzhou are very optimistic about him! Expected to be in the top three......"

"Oh? Is he as good as you say? ”

Yue Chen pursed his lips and said with disdain: "Then there is still a fake? At the beginning, my father predicted that he would be in the top three before the state exam, and he went one step further to win the first place! After getting along with each other these days, I admire your sixth brother very much! ”

“……”

Looking at Yue Sanniang on the other side, Yue Chen looked puzzled: "Sanniang, could it be that you know him?" ”

"Well, there was a one-sided relationship!"

"Is it really a one-sided relationship?" Yue Chen seemed to sense something, so he asked with deep meaning.

"Less nonsense! Hurry back, or my dad will notice it, and you won't be able to eat and walk around! ”

Yue Sanniang was questioned by Yue Chen, and suddenly didn't know how to respond. So he got up and reminded a few words, and hurried down the teahouse.

"Is there anything else in this that I don't know?"

Thinking of this, Yue Chen decided to find a time to ask Ye Yu properly.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the second lunar month, just after the ugly time in the inn, some people in the store knocked on the door in the courtyard downstairs, informing the candidates living in the store that they should not miss the time to enter the venue.

Later, there was a knock on the door of the room, informing the candidates that it was time to get up.

Hearing the sound of banging, Ye Yu woke up from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes, slowly opened them, glanced at the burning lantern, and then sat up, ready to take this rare exam.
