Huangmei County is on the edge of Huangmei County, and Pulsatilla is in the white-headed waves. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since ancient times, Huangmei County, which has been known as the place of "Wu Tou and Chu Wei", has beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and clear waters, attracting many literati and ink writers to here, visiting the scenery of mountains and rivers, chanting Huangmei scenery, and placing affection on the scenery, splashing ink, leaving countless immortal poems that have been passed down for generations.

Lin Fusheng and his second uncle Lin Shixiu rushed all the way, and they didn't care about enjoying the scenery along the way, and finally came to Huangmei County before sunset.

The economic conditions of the Lin family are not well-off, and the accommodation fee in the county is very expensive, so in line with the principle of saving if you can. The uncle and nephew almost came to the test period. Compared to other students who took the exam, they have been coming many days late.

As soon as he entered the county seat, he walked to an inn with a small façade, Lin Fusheng raised his head and suggested: "Second uncle, this inn seems to be small, and it doesn't cost too much to come, so let's just live here." ”

Lin Shixiu looked inside the inn, frowned, and said, "This place is so close to the city gate, I'm afraid it's far away from the examination shed." Let's take a look further and choose an inn closer to the examination booth to live. ”

"Second uncle, at this time, it is the boys' examination period, and the inns around the examination shed are full or expensive, and we can't live in it."

"But......" Lin Shixiu still looked very uneasy.

His uneasy expression has been with him all the way. From the moment he left the house, he looked like this, as if it had been engraved on his face.

What's even more ridiculous is that this Lin Shixiu actually found all kinds of reasons to run home along the way. For a while, he said that he forgot to bring his scholar's certificate, and for a while, he had a stomachache, and even found various reasons to drag his feet, deliberately wanting to miss the test.

For the second uncle's little tricks, Lin Fusheng always said unhurriedly, "Second uncle, if you don't go, grandpa's pen is the little nephew's." ”

Lin Shixiu immediately got on the road and walked fast.

At this time, Lin Fusheng saw that he was a little hesitant again, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Why don't we go first and ask the price, and then, go to another house to take a look, compare it, and then decide where to live." ”

Lin Shixiu nodded hesitantly. The two of them then walked into the inn.

As soon as he saw the guests, Xiao Er immediately greeted him with a smile, "Yo, are you going to play the top or stay in the hotel?" ”

"Stay in the hotel." Lin Shixiu replied.

"Oh, that's not a coincidence, our store here is already full."

"Huh? Full? Lin Shixiu's expression was strange, half happy and half worried, but fake worry but really happy.

When Lin Fusheng heard this, he was also surprised. If it's fully booked, it's impossible to go further in and have a vacant room.

Xiao Er continued: "Looking at the dress of the two of you, you should have come to participate in the children's exam." ”

Lin Shixiu nodded yes.

"Then why don't you come earlier, the inn is always full at this time."

"Hehe, the two of us are going to the test for the first time, and I have no experience, so I don't know about it." Lin Shixiu responded.

First-time? Xiao Er looked at Lin Shixiu with strange eyes, and then said, "You might as well go to the front inn to have a look, but I guess there is not much hope." ”

The two of them came out of the inn and continued to walk. I inquired about several inns and restaurants in a row, but all of them were full.

Seeing that it was getting late and late, the uncle and nephew looked a little anxious and tired.

At this moment, when the two of them passed by a restaurant that looked pompous, there were four familiar faces, with a look of surprise, towards Lin Fusheng's uncle and nephew, followed by two unfamiliar faces.

"Oops, isn't this a polyphony?"

The few people who came slowly, and the ones who walked in the front were Lin Fusheng's classmates, Zhao Zhongming and Hu Youren. He was followed by two other classmates of Qingyun Pavilion, named Sun Ji and Jiang Wendeng. and two other scholars with fresh faces.

After several years of growth, Zhao Zhongming has become a handsome young scholar, and the arrogance revealed from his eyebrows also seems more calm and natural. And Hu Youren's originally thin and slightly hunched body has now become an elongated version, and his originally small eyes have become more narrow. Only the smile on his face was still so pleasing.

Hu Youren stepped forward to greet Lin Fusheng diligently, looked at Lin Shixiu next to him, and asked, "I don't know, who is this?" ”

"This is my uncle, who came with me to take the exam this time."

When Hu Youren heard this, he turned out to be an elder, so he immediately expressed his greetings and bowed. Sun Ji and Jiang Wendeng next to him also joined hands with Lin Shixiu.

However, Zhao Zhongming and the two fresh-faced people behind him were motionless and a little arrogant.

In the same exam, Lin Shixiu did not dare to regard himself as an elder, and bowed down and laughed with several young scholars.

After getting acquainted with each other, Hu Youren saw that Lin Fusheng was still carrying a bag behind him. I couldn't help but be surprised: "You two won't just come now!" ”

Lin Fusheng nodded helplessly, "My uncle and I just arrived here. ”

"Oh, I'm afraid, it's hard to find an inn where you can stay."

"That's true, we've asked a few inns, and it's true that they're all full." Lin Fusheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Why didn't Brother Fusheng come earlier?" Hu Youren frowned and said, "You need to know that during the county test, the rooms in the inn have already been booked. ”

"My uncle and I are both taking the prefectural exam for the first time, so we didn't think it through."

Sun Ji stepped forward at this time and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang and I are also late, and we have nowhere to stay, so we have to come to disturb Brother Zhongming." ”

Zhao Zhongming is a big family in the county, and his family does business, and the business is very large. Even the officials of all sizes in this county will be polite when they see Zhao Zhongming.

Listening to what Sun Ji said, Zhao Zhongming slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, showing a trace of disapproving arrogance.

Jiang Wendeng looked at Zhao Zhongming with a smile and said, "Brother Zhongming, the five of us are both mutual alliances and classmates, can we leave them to settle down in the mansion together?" ”

Zhao Zhongming narrowed his eyes, looked at Lin Fusheng, hooked the corners of his mouth, chuckled, and said, "Our Zhao family is not an inn, where can we accommodate so many people." ”

Jiang Wendeng was stunned, looked at Chen Ji, and looked a little surprised by Zhao Zhongming's answer.

These two people only concentrate on studying on weekdays, and they didn't pay much attention to the contradiction between Zhao Zhongming and Lin Fusheng, let alone expect that Zhao Zhongming, who was very generous in the past, would change his temperament greatly at this time.

Lin Fusheng was not anxious about this, and the moment he saw Zhao Zhongming, he was relieved that he had nowhere to stay. He knew that even if the inn was full, he would have a place to stay.

In the face of Zhao Zhongming's cold refusal, Lin Fusheng was not angry, put on a leisurely attitude, just smiled at Zhao Zhongming, and said lightly: "Could it be Brother Zhao, I am afraid that the younger brother will be slightly better than you in the examination room, so you can't tolerate me, right?" ”

The method of agitation is always the most effective for people who are arrogant.

When Zhao Zhongming heard this, he immediately snorted coldly, "How can I, Zhao Zhongming, lose to you!" Let you stay in my Zhao family and see with your own eyes how I, Zhao Zhongming, won you. ”

"Good!" Excitement will succeed!

Lin Fusheng secretly rejoiced.
