Chapter 224: The First Exam
If it was quite a spectacular scene to participate in the township test in Shuzhou City at the beginning, then the scene of almost blocking the dozens of zhang streets outside Wubenfang today made Xu Mingyuan a little dumbfounded.
The carriage couldn't get in, Xu Mingyuan and Yi got out of the car, one carrying a bamboo box and the other carrying a package, and squeezed into the Wubenfang with the tide of people.
Fortunately, both of them have martial arts, although the crowd is crowded, they are not like those weak scholars who have been squeezed out of their hair crowns and guessed their shoes.
However, when the two finally came to the front of the Guozi Prison, which had already lined up for a long time, the clothes on their bodies were still a little messy. Yi helped Xu Mingyuan take the bamboo box so that he could tidy up his clothes.
"Brother Xu?" A voice came from behind.
Xu Mingyuan turned his head and looked at it, but he also showed a little surprise, but the people who came were Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao.
Speaking of saying goodbye in Shuzhou, this is the first time the three of them have met. After all, the relationship between these two people and Xu Mingyuan can only be regarded as average, not as close as that with Bai Molou. This Chang'an is so big, it's strange to be able to meet it.
But anyway, I also got along with Chongzhou Academy for a month, and I felt very cordial to see each other in this foreign land.
"It's really Brother Xu, I thought Brother Ma recognized the wrong person." Zheng Zhi walked forward quickly, looked at Xu Mingyuan with a smile and said.
"It's been a long time, but I didn't expect to meet here today." Xu Mingyuan also looked at the two with a smile and said.
Ma Zhixiao stepped forward, arched his hand and said: "I haven't congratulated Brother Xu on Xie Yuan in high school, I have to understand Yuan after winning the first place in the college exam, it is really rare in this world, if I can get a Huiyuan this time, I will really be famous all over the world." ”
"How can Huiyuan be so easy to get, I just want to be on the list." Xu Mingyuan shook his head with a smile and said.
Zheng Zhi smiled, and just wanted to speak, but a somewhat feminine voice came from the side: "Tsk, I really don't know where to converge, Huiyuan?" Now there are not 1,000 but 800 Xie Yuan here, who dares to say that he can get Xie Yuan. ”
Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao's faces changed slightly, and Xu Mingyuan also turned his head with a slight brow, and it was Wang Ziqi standing a foot away.
However, what Xu Mingyuan noticed was the man beside him who was as charming as a woman, with a snow-white face that could be broken by blowing a bullet, which was enough to make many women ashamed of themselves. He was holding a stacked jade fan in his hand, and his slender eyes were looking Xu Mingyuan up and down, with a little playfulness, like looking at a plaything, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
However, Xu Mingyuan, who has seen a lot of the world, can see at a glance that this young man who is as beautiful as a woman, and his extravagance in his gestures is not something that ordinary families can raise.
Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao stood aside and subconsciously took a step back, which is also the reason why Wenhua has never had a deep friendship with them, because they are not even as good as Zhao Qingliang and Feng Rui who stood in front of him during the township exam.
Yi stood aside and looked at the two of them coldly, but he didn't speak, but if he really started, he would definitely come faster than Xu Mingyuan.
"Some people are still so virtuous wherever they go, do they have to find a master to rely on first?" Xu Mingyuan turned his gaze to Wang Ziqi and sneered.
In Shuzhou, he could not argue, because he had no capital at that time, and Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou were on the side to help him get ahead.
But now he is different, although the identity of Yuntai Division is not easy to expose, but it is not something that Wang Ziqi can handle casually.
Hearing this, Wang Ziqi's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.
"You are the Xu Mingyuan who pestered Miss Zeng in Shuzhou?" The bewitching young man standing on the side looked at Xu Mingyuan and asked softly, even his voice was as soft as a woman.
"Who are you?" Xu Mingyuan looked at the man, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked out loud. It seems that most of this person is also one of those sons and brothers who sent people to Zengfu to ask for marriage.
"He is the Wenhua Wengongzi, the head of the four princes of Chang'an." Wang Ziqi looked at Xu Mingyuan and introduced it a little proudly.
"Really?" Xu Mingyuan looked at Na Wenhua and said with a smile: "I have seen two of the four princes of Chang'an, but if you want to say that they are headed by you, I don't believe it at all." ”
Wang Ziqi, who originally wanted to see Xu Mingyuan's frightened embarrassment, couldn't help but be stunned, obviously he didn't expect Xu Mingyuan to be in Chang'an for three months, and he would be able to recognize such a character as the four princes of Chang'an.
You must know that he was able to get acquainted with Wenhua, or he relied on his favoritism and Zeng Qingyi as the entry point, so he fell in love with Wenhua, who was extremely high in identity and fame, and showed his face in front of some big people in his eyes.
If he knew that after Xu Mingyuan entered Chang'an, the people and things he encountered, even His Majesty remembered his name, the princess and the eldest prince owed him favors, two of the four princes of Chang'an drank with him, and the young master of the world's first money village went to the Qinglou with him, I am afraid that even if he is in Wenhua today, he will not dare to provoke Xu Mingyuan again.
And Wen Hua, who was originally smiling and groaning, listened to Xu Mingyuan's words, his face was also slightly gloomy, and he said coldly: "I know all the things after you arrived in Chang'an, Fang Tingyan and Ning Anzhi, those two guys will make friends with you, which is quite surprising to me, but do you think you are really comparable to the two of them?"
As for the people in the palace, the imperial examination has never interfered, so don't think about relying on that relationship. If you can't even pass the Jinshi exam, do you think you are worthy of Miss Zeng? ”
"It's not up to you to decide whether you are worthy or not, I don't know how to learn Wen Gongzi, but the poem was written well back then, I look at her every day, and after I heard about the poem you wrote in Chang'an, I also think it is still good for you to describe it." Xu Mingyuan looked at Wen Hua, his tone was slightly frivolous, and he still had a smug smile on his face.
"You ......" Wen Hua showed a bit of anger on his face, and stretched out his hand to point at Xu Mingyuan.
"Yo, Brother Xu, it turns out that you are here, I didn't expect so many people to find you." At this moment, a somewhat warm voice came.
Xu Mingyuan turned around and looked, and it was Fang Tingyan, Ning Anzhi, and Bai Liyu who came forward in a row, and it was Fang Tingyan who spoke before.
The three of them obviously know Wenhua too, but the relationship should be just average, and they arched each other, which can be regarded as a courtesy.
However, seeing Fang Tingyan and the others coming, Wen Hua was also reluctant to stay any longer, looked at Xu Mingyuan and said softly with a smile: "If I win the champion, I will personally ask Your Majesty for marriage. ”
After Wen Hua finished speaking, he turned around and left a little proudly.
"Really? Then I'm up for it. Xu Mingyuan looked at Wen Hua's back and said in a slightly cold voice.
Wen Hua's footsteps paused, and he didn't look back: "The frog at the bottom of the well, jumped out of the well, or don't you know that the world is wide?" With that, he continued to walk forward.
