Scholars should go to the master to visit the lord in the middle school examination, first, to communicate feelings and establish relationships, and secondly, to explore the tone and prepare for the next palace examination. Although the palace test will not be dethroned, it must also be re-ranked, and it must not be sloppy at all.

However, there was a little trouble this year, when Yang Jisheng was in Guozijian, Xu Jiejie was the Guozijian sacrificial wine, and the two established the status of master and apprentice at that time, and the relationship was deep, especially for those who had only read the paper once.

However, Yang Jisheng impeached Yan Song's father and son and was arrested and imprisoned, in the eyes of outsiders, who would play with his life for no reason, and it was not Xu Jie's instigation. But the matter is getting bigger, Xu Jie didn't say a word, ruthless to the extreme, the big guy's heart can't help but be hairy, will he be unlucky in the future if he thinks of such a ruthless and unrighteous guy?

To be honest, Xu Jie didn't make a move, but his kung fu was used in the dark, such as taking care of Lu Bing, such as suppressing the officials, and preventing them from poking Jiajing's lungs......

I can't tell anyone else, so Xu Ge Lao can only bear the pressure from all sides, and the group of people who originally gathered around him also began to sort out Xu Jie, for fear that he would treat him as an outcast and sacrifice at will.

In such an atmosphere, many people were reluctant to visit Xu Jie. Xu Ge Lao is calm, he still goes to Xiyuan every day to be on duty, works diligently, and is more deferential to the Yan family's father and son, even if he is criticized by Yan Shifan, he is not annoyed at all. Yan Shifan couldn't use his strength, so he could only cry out in vain.

……

In the living room of the Tang family, Pang Yuan, Jiang Yilin, and Zhao Wen were all there, only Cao Dazhang arrived last, he was angry, rubbed his scarlet eyes, and when he looked at the dishes on the table, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Isn't it okay to eat too greasy in the morning?" ”

Jiang Yilin rolled his eyes. Said angrily: "My conference master, this is lunch!" ”

Cao Dazhang's face turned red, and he hurriedly confessed, "I was dissolute yesterday, and I ask you brothers not to blame." ”

"If you don't blame us, we will punish ourselves for three cups!" Pang Yuan, this guy is wilted and wilted. As soon as he mentioned the wine Cao Dazhang's head was big, and he was about to run away directly, Zhao Wen was kind, and said with a smile: "It's better to replace the bar with tea, in case the old man will learn from the drunken immortal Liu Ling, and he will be drunk for three years, won't he have to participate in the palace examination of the next subject?" ”

Zhao Wen said it funny, everyone laughed, and Cao Dazhang blushed. After pouring most of the pot of tea, my stomach growled, and I ate two big buns in a row, and my stomach finally had a bottom.

I couldn't help but say, "I'm going to visit the teacher at night, what do you think?" ”

"Teacher?" Jiang Yilin pouted and said: "What kind of teacher is he, Mr. Jiaoshan is so benevolent and righteous, what a mind, when I think of Mr. is still in prison." I can't even eat, you go anyway. I'm not going! ”

Seeing Jiang Yilin's childish temper, the eldest Zhao Wen couldn't help but say: "It's not easy for Xu Ge to be old, the more you want to save people at this time, the easier it is to do bad things, we can't be rash." Xu Ge is always the master. The name of master and apprentice is placed there, to put it mildly, no matter how bad your mother is, she is better than her stepmother! ”

When Cao Dazhang heard this, he hurriedly nodded: "That's right." This is the principle, let's go and see the teacher as soon as possible. By the way, Brother Zicheng, what about you? ”

Tang Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly, took out an invitation, and threw it on the table.

"I can't go, Yan Ge's invitation has arrived."

"Elder Yan Ge?"

Cao Dazhang was drunk yesterday and didn't know that Zhao Wenhua was coming, and when he heard it, he immediately stood up in a hurry.

"Brother Zicheng, at this time, Yan Song invited you, there is absolutely no good thing, don't he know that your book saved Yang Jiaoshan, and he wants to take revenge, right?"

As soon as he shouted this, the others all showed shocked expressions and shook their heads.

Tang Yi smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, no matter how fierce Yan Ge Lao is, I'm afraid he can't compare to the Japanese Kou, he is the first assistant, I can't go away, and please tell Xu Ge Lao, and my father will go again in the next day." ”

Cao Dazhang also knew that Tang Yi was 10,000 times better than his father, and since he said it, he should be sure. However, Cao Dazhang still instructed: "You can't offend Yan Song, but you can't be labeled as a strict party. ”

Tang Yi smiled and nodded: "I understand." ”

……

Seeing that the sky was dark, Tang Shen changed into his five-grade official uniform, and Tang Yi was dressed as a child, and the two of them didn't bring any of them, and went directly to Yan's mansion. Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't prepared a gift.

Tang Yi casually went into a shop, but it happened that it was a pickle seller, and it was too late to go to another house, so he carried two jars of eight-treasure pickles from Liuxinju, and swaggered to the door of Yan's mansion.

Unlike Xu Ge Lao's low-key luxury, Yan Fu puts wealth and wealth on the bright side. The mansion that occupies half of the street, the black oppression, the vermilion gate, hanging eight large lanterns, illuminated in the slightest, the stone scholars on both sides of the door are more than one person high, with teeth and claws, it is said that it is still given by the emperor.

Just a large gate, it is enough to show the majesty of Shousuke, in front of the gate, there is a long queue, some wearing red robes, some wearing blue robes, it is just as lively as the official uniform catwalk.

Many flattering guys are not qualified to go in at all, so they can only give gifts obediently, in exchange for the housekeeper snorted, as if it was a great grace, the fart went back, the seven officials in front of the prime minister, it was really not a lie!

Tang Shen crossed his feet and looked, there was a gift of ten brocade horses, one hundred taels of silver, who knew that the gatekeeper looked at his big red robe, and sneered: "My lord, your gift is too heavy, the little ones don't dare to accept it, you can also change your clothes to blue ones when you go back!" ”

"Don't!" The person who came was so frightened that he panicked, and hurriedly said: "The lower official was transferred from Honglu Temple, Qingshui Yamen, it's really not a secret, these are still clumsy dowries, waiting for the lower officials to develop in the future, they must be filial to the old ...... of Yan Ge."

He wanted to say a few words, but the big housekeeper Yan Nian came out of it and waved his hand, like chasing flies.

"Don't invite the adults to leave, it's noisy, it's insulting."

A few family members were like wolves and tigers, and they dragged the visitors away. Tang Shen couldn't help but stick out his tongue, there were more than two hundred taels of ten brocades, and the gifts that added up to more than three hundred taels couldn't enter the door, just with the pickles in Tang Yi's hand, maybe people would be beaten out!

After thinking about it, it's better to play out, but I'm worried that I can't draw a clear line with the Yan family!

Soon it was time for the two of them, and the housekeeper Yan Nian glanced at it and said with a smile: "This lord is new to the capital, right?" ”

"That's right."

Yan Nian couldn't help but laugh when he heard Tang Shen's southern accent, "Everyone says that Jiangnan is rich, I don't know what gift I sent to Ge Lao?" ”

The corners of Tang Shen's mouth twitched, and he said stubbornly: "Pickles." ”

"Pickles? What specialty does not come about? ”

"It's a specialty, it's the only one in the capital that has no other branches." Tang Shen smiled awkwardly.

Yan Nian's eyes rolled, following Yan Song for so many years, there are no longer a few strange gifts he has received, among which there is a strange stone that is the most interesting, some are like the four treasures of the study, some are like Dongpo meat, some are like a plate of melon seeds, fruits, and so on.

Xiao Ge Lao liked it very much, Yan Nian hurriedly said: "Show it to me!" ”

Tang Yi sent the jar to Yan Nian, Yan Nian suddenly smiled, hey, it's really the same as the real thing! I can't help but open the cover, and even the taste is average. He couldn't help but reach in a finger, touch it carefully, dip a little, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

"How is it salty?"

Tang Shen's face was full of black lines, and he could only say: "Xu put too much salt when he was pickling." ”

"Salt? Is this really a pickle? Yan Nian suddenly sobered up, he was so angry, he only felt that his IQ had been seriously provoked, and he was so angry that he laughed.

"Okay, okay, for so many years, it's the first time someone has used pickles to bluff the elder of the pavilion, you two southern barbarians, if you don't give you some rules, you won't know the three eyes of Lord Ma! Come! ”

As soon as he shouted, a group of family members rushed out and surrounded the two of them at once.

Tang Shen's face instantly became gloomy, he finally came out of the battlefield, and he said in a low voice: "Yi'er, dad opens the gap first, and you follow." ”

The two of them were making plans when suddenly there was a hearty laugh.

"Oh, brother Zicheng, why did you come, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

While speaking, Zhao Wenhua walked out of it with a smile, looking at the tense appearance, and suddenly frowned.

"Yan Nian, what's going on?"

Zhao Wenhua is Yan Song's godson, Yan Nian didn't dare to offend, and hurriedly said: "Lord Qiyu, these two guys don't understand the rules, and they actually sent two jars of pickles over, don't believe you!" ”

Zhao Wenhua glanced at it and suddenly laughed, "Sure enough, it's a pickle!" He grabbed a jar and buckled it from the top of his head, and in an instant Yan Nian's head was full of pickles, and the juice flowed down his clothes, and the pungent smell almost choked him.

Zhao Wenhua was still angry, raised his foot, and kicked Yan Nian twice.

"Idiot, your heart is clouded with lard? Don't you know that Brother Zicheng is a distinguished guest invited by his godfather? If you can come, you can enjoy your face, isn't it good to send pickles? Godfather also likes the craftsmanship of Liuxinju, Brother Zicheng is really attentive! ”

Zhao Wenhua picked up Tang Shen and walked to the house, saying good things in his mouth. The gift-givers are dumbfounded, it's not okay to send silver and silk, and it becomes a guest to send pickles, what's wrong? There was a flexible mind, who also bought two carts of pickles when he turned around, and rushed to the door of the Yan family, waiting for the family to entertain him, but he was broken by the family who rushed out and broke seven ribs and almost lost his life......

As Zhao Wenhua came to the living room, there were already many people gathered at this time, and the big guys were talking, when suddenly a family member shouted: "Xiangye has arrived!" ”

In an instant, like springs, everyone jumped up, stood straight, bowed their heads slightly, and from head to toe, the words respect and flattery were written.

Yan Song, who was tall and old, walked in from outside, and everyone held their breath, and at this moment, someone suddenly laughed, and all eyes fell on Tang Yi in an instant.

Enjoying the feeling of being in the limelight, Tang Yi was not afraid at all, but puffed up his chest and confidently met Yan Song's gaze, and there was only one thought in the hearts of the people next to him: This kid is crazy! (To be continued.) )
