"Chu Feng?" Qin Cao tilted his head slightly, and thought for a moment, "This name is a little familiar, and it is also a scholar on today's list?" ”

"Yes, but I heard them say that it seems to be very interesting, and I didn't get into it myself." Layer Luan stared at a pair of big eyes, looking a little gossipy.

"What does that mean?" Qin Cao couldn't help but be stunned.

"Uh, that means ......" Layer Luan gathered the words, waved his left hand in mid-air, and finally fell down with some regret, "I didn't understand it too much, anyway, I heard them say that it seems that they went the way of the examiner this year, and was directly named as a fellow countryman, and he didn't even take the exam." ”

When Qin Cao heard this, his brows frowned, and he said solemnly: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Layer Luan was startled by the sudden serious piano drill, and even dropped two melon seeds in his hand.

"I'm not joking, I'm accusing the examiner of favoritism this year, where can I say it casually!" Qin Cao frowned slightly, even with such an expression, it made her a little more beautiful.

Layer Luan hurriedly got up, hurriedly rushed to the piano to make a blessing, and responded a little panicked: "Layer Luan knows, don't dare to talk nonsense anymore." ”

Qin Cao bowed slightly, but he couldn't help but think of some old things in his heart, and for a while, his heart was slightly confused.

The mountains were a little embarrassed, and for a while, they were in a dilemma.

In the cabin of the boat, you can faintly hear the sound of water waves lapping against the hull, which is rhythmic and very faint, like the sound of breathing.

Qin Cao's thoughts only lasted for a moment, and a smile rose from the corner of her mouth, making her whole person bright and lively.

"But when you say this, the name Chu Feng is indeed a little familiar, and it seems that I have heard it somewhere." Qin Cao put down the book in his hand and held his cheek to recall, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

This kind of thought, not only her, but also the guests and gentlemen on the deck are also paying with their hearts.

"Chu Feng, this name always feels familiar......

Far away from the place where Chu Feng and Liu Zhengqing were standing, the scholars gathered in groups to talk about it, and looked back at Chu Feng from time to time.

"Yes, I always feel like I've heard of it somewhere. Because the painting was promoted to a fellow villager, this kind of thing is too ...... Luck. ”

After all, it's such a place, even if you feel a little resentful, it's impossible to say it directly.

"Chu Feng and Liu Zhengqing, these two names ...... Yes, isn't it also related to some calligraphy and painting? ”

Brother Fu said this...... Yes! I remember! Ink Will! Do you remember that Mr. Cheng Yuan accepted an apprentice at the Ink Society! ”

"Mr. Cheng Yuan? Isn't that a famous painter in Hangzhou? It is said that even the two adults have to give a little face? ”

It was he, I heard that Mr. Cheng Yuan had an arrogant temperament, he had only accepted one apprentice in his life, and he lived in seclusion in the countryside, and it was very difficult to see him. But there are many people who have the heart of apprenticeship, but they can't find it, and even if they find Mr. Cheng Yuan himself, the other party never accepts it. But the last time the ink painting meeting, Mr. Cheng Yuan accepted an apprentice in front of the public, and I remember that it seems to be called Chu Feng. ”

"So coincidentally? Is that the same person, or does it happen to be the same name? ”

"Probably won't have the same name, where can there be such a coincidence? Shh ”

"Brother Chu, this one is the top of our township test, Shangtang Chao Zhijie." Liu Zhengqing introduced Chu Feng with a smile.

Chu Feng smiled and gave a salute: "It turned out to be Brother Chao, long admiration." But I couldn't help but think in my heart, this surname is rare, and I don't know if the person in front of me has anything to do with Chao Gai......

"Brother Chao, this is Chu Feng, my good brother. In the future, the two of us will inevitably be supported by you! Even when he said such a thing, Liu Zhengqing smiled frankly, and there was no hint of flattery.

Chao Zhijie's complexion was slightly dark, and he looked simple, but at this time, his face was slightly red, and he saluted back: "How dare you, what the top of the list, it's just a fluke." ”

When everyone gathered here, there was a burst of conversation and laughter, and it gradually dispersed after a while.

Seeing that Chu Feng and Liu Zhengqing left, the topic of discussion turned back.

"It's him, yes, although Yiming has a wide range of friends, he fights himself...... Well, after the lawsuit, he stopped dealing with many people. This Chu Feng is estimated to be the number of roads he took at that time. At that time, Chu Feng made a name for himself at the ink meeting, probably because of the benefits agreed between the two parties, and it is not known. ”

"Brother Fu, is it a bit of a bad gentleman to speculate like this. Maybe they are really gentlemen's friends, and it is not necessary to appreciate each other. ”

"Haha! I'm just talking nonsense, and I'm just talking nonsense, so why should you take it seriously. This person also consciously lost his words, and snorted, wanting to be vague.

The atmosphere of this small circle, so far, is inevitably slightly awkward.

Chao Zhijie coughed and said with a smile: "Everyone is just recalling the origin of this Chu brother, and it is not a serious matter. According to me, if the paintings of this Chu brother can really be appreciated by Mr. Cheng Yuan, it means that they must be very good, and they naturally have merit. The imperial court opened a branch to recruit scholars, which was originally an eclectic talent, and if such a high talent was really left behind, it might not be a blessing for the imperial court. ”

"The top of the list has a point."

When everyone heard this, they echoed it.

Chao Zhijie couldn't help blushing when he heard the word "top of the list", and he just opened his mouth to relieve the encirclement, so he didn't dare to say more at this time, so he withdrew under the pretext of greeting someone.

The remaining three people looked at the figure of Chao Zhijie leaving, and they didn't know who it was, so they let out a sneer first.

"In the end, it's the top of the list, and it's really different."

The other two should also be in harmony.

"I don't think he's necessarily clean, but he's just a scholar in the countryside, and he hasn't even entered a school school, so he can get the top spot, who knows if there's anything greasy in it."

"Our 'top list' is so protective of that Chu Feng, maybe he is walking the same path, this kind of reasoning, should we all be blind!"

"This imperial examination is so unclean! If you want me to say, we should go and sue us! ”

"Don't be in a hurry, although we are a township test, but after all, it is a township test in Hangzhou City, which is directly supervised by Lord Zhizhou, even if you want to sue, there is no other choice than to litigate in Bianliang City. After going hundreds of miles, it was these three officials who were sued, and they must not be too casual. ”
