But seeing Lu Bing arching his hands and bowing deeply, Yang Weijie hurriedly helped Lu Bing up and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, this is easy to say, I don't say that you are Lu Bing, I haven't thanked Master Lu for taking us in just now, how should I call my friend after a while?" ”

"You can just call me Lu Wei, this is the name of my brother's mother, as for the font name, it's Chiming." Lu Bing said with a smile, Yang Weijie was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his fists and said: "I've seen Brother Chiming, and when I saw Master Lu today, he really lived up to his reputation, and he actually took the font size in a short period of time, and it fits this Wei character, he is really a learned person, and I admire it." ”

"Ha Luha, it's okay, it's really tormenting me under the false praise. In the future, we will be roommates living under the same roof, let's go back, don't let your two companions get suspicious. Lu Bing said and returned to the house with Yang Weijie.

The two of them in the house couldn't help but feel a little strange, just now Yang Weijie and this Master Lu didn't seem to know each other, and they became acquainted with each other in just one trip, like close friends. Lu Bing hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Lu Wei, the word is Chiming, a person from Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong, dare to ask the two respected brothers with the surname of Gao?" ”

"Don't dare, in the lower Gong Yongqing, the word Meiji, the number Fenggang. A native of Dongmen, Huai'an County, he has seen the Chiming brothers. The official words of the Chiming brothers are very good, and they don't have a Dengzhou accent at all. "Gong Yongqing is older and looks like he is in his forties, his face is relatively thick and dark, like an old farmer who farms, and his figure is not tall, he belongs to the five short figures, in short, his appearance is not good. However, Gong Yongqing's eyes are quite wise, and his eyes are like stars, and the whole person is also a lot more energetic at once.

Lu Bing nodded and hugged his fists and said, "It's polite, what is this brother called?" ”

"In the Lower Ouyang Qu. The word Chongheng has seen the Chiming brothers. "Ouyang Qu's age is not too young, he should have passed the age of standing. Listening to the accent, he is from Jiangxi, although Yang Weijie calls Lu Bing Brother Lu, but in fact it is just an honorific title. Lu Bing is the youngest in the room, so now that he has introduced it, he has used the brother with the name of the name.

However, even though the three of them had a bookish aura and a bit of arrogance, they still couldn't suppress Lu Bing's powerful aura. Lu Bing's aura comes from success, and he is thriving in officialdom. has led thousands of troops and horses, and the business in Shandong is so powerful, if the temperament of the superior who naturally exudes is not deliberately restrained. I can't hide it.

When people face strong people, they usually have an involuntary inferiority complex and defensive psychology, and sure enough, Yang Weijie and the three of them tensed up after introducing each other, and they were speechless for a while. The atmosphere was awkward.

It was terrible to see that the room was quiet. Lu Bing broke the silence and said: "The three candidates who are not from the same place, how can they go to Beijing to take the exam together." As soon as the topic opened, this group of scholars came to the momentum, and began to tell how a few people met in the small pavilion outside the city, and knew that Lu Daotong was a candidate for this year's examination.

Lu Bing said: "That's really a fate to meet thousands of miles away." The four of us can now sit at the same table and talk, and we have to sigh at the wonder of creation. ”

"That's right. Brother Chiming, you entered Beijing to do business, I heard Yingfu call you Master Lu just now, and you are from Dengzhou, could it be that you are related to the famous Lu Bing? Ouyang Qu said.

"Naturally not, how can I have that blessing." Lu Bing said with a smile: "I just did some ancestral small business in Dengzhou, Shandong, and I happened to know Brother Yingfu's brother Yang Dafu, and I met today." ”

"I said, it's absolutely impossible. If Brother Chiming is really a relative of Lu Bing's person, how can he be so kind to let us live together, you must know that the seven officials in front of the Prime Minister of Lu Dao, let alone the relatives after the courtiers? Lu Bing used to be an official in Beijing, and the official was in a high position, and he was a saint, and now I heard that Dengzhou is also a great business. What are we just a bunch of poor sours who have not yet made a name for themselves, and they will not disdain to pass with us, and they will not abandon the brothers of Meng Chiming, and they have such a good heart to let us stay here. Brother Chongheng, you have thought too much. Gong Yongqing said.

Ouyang Qu said with a smile: "Just now, I was just idle and bored and speculated, so the Chiming brothers have entered Beijing to do business, we live here to cause trouble for you, Chongheng is here to thank the three of us here." Ouyang Qu clenched his fists and said.

Lu Bing waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I also went to Beijing to catch the exam this time, this time we went to Liwei together, it is really fate, and we can be regarded as classmates." If the four of us are lucky to be on the list this time, it is also a jinshi in the same year, and they are not much closer than those brothers and brothers in the court, and it is common to help each other in the future, how can it be said that it is troublesome? ”

"Huh?" Ouyang Qu and Gong Yongqing were taken aback and said, but they saw that Lu Bing was five big and three thick, and there was a lot of heroism between his eyebrows, if he was a businessman, he should be a domineering and shrewd person who did things decisively and killed from the heart. Unexpectedly, Lu Bing was also a scholar, and he actually passed the county examination, the government examination, the hospital examination and the township examination, and came to the national elite examination. I can't help but sigh that people can't look good, and the sea can't fight.

In the next moment, several people judged the examination of this rite and the politics of the world. Gong Yongqing and Ouyang Qu's words are sharper, they like to use sarcastic words to criticize current affairs, and they often discuss the government and politics, and they also comment on the merits and demerits of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi and Lu Bing.

Yang Weijie was sweating profusely when he heard this, and kept looking at Lu Bing's face, fortunately, Lu Bing kept smiling, but this smile didn't seem to have changed at all, like a fake face mask. This couldn't help but make Yang Weijie frightened again, but he showed that he had something in his heart, and his face was as usual, but he was angry and couldn't care about the change in the expression on his face.

However, before Lu Bing had a seizure, Yang Weijie didn't have a good idea to say anything, and the people's family was not unhappy, Yang Weijie interrupted at this time to reveal Lu Bing's identity, he could only be a person inside and out, and he was accused of being splinted, so he could only keep saying: "There are many eyes and ears in the capital, don't criticize the government, don't criticize the government." ”

"Yingfu's words are wrong, I am the people of the Ming Dynasty with freedom of speech, and what we say is the truth, scholars should speak bluntly, if they don't dare to speak out, they will lose even the verse." Ouyang Qu said impassionedly.

Lu Bing finally spoke and praised: "Yes, the festival has fallen to the ground." The three of them didn't understand, but they were embarrassed to ask what was the festival first, so they could only take it.

"I think Brother Ouyang is right, why don't you say it? And why do we read the sages? Isn't it just to be able to serve the country, if you don't even have the courage to speak now, how can you still expect this to be upright and not afraid of power in the future? Brother Chiming, you said yes, right? Gong Yongqing said, and Lu Bing nodded again and again: "What Brother Meiji said is reasonable, I think so." ”

"What Brother Meiji said is what I want to express.,It's really worthy of like-minded friends.,Although we've not known each other for a long time.,But let's also have a lot of feelings about the mountains and rivers meeting bosom friends in the Boyazi period.。 Yingfu, what's wrong with you, what do you dare to say when you're outside the city, why are you so timid as soon as you enter Beijing? This is not my generation," Ouyang said.

Yang Weijie almost cried, and kept shouting in his heart: Nima, I want to say that the person sitting in front of you is the emperor's milk brother, Lu Bing, the brocade guard who dominated the political circles back then, you can't make sure to cry.

Yang Weijie was secretly anxious, stood up and said, "It's my fault, I may have been too careful, I'll go and see why the shopkeeper hasn't prepared the bedding and bed yet." ”

"It's okay, I'll go with you, let's urge, and then let's go out and eat something, there is really nothing to taste in this store." Lu Bing said, and then invited Ouyang Qu and Gong Yongqing: "Let's go together, two brothers, when I entered the city, I saw a good restaurant, today I am the east, the four of us brothers go to drink some tea and eat some food, okay?" ”

"We are shy in our pockets, since we are destined, we are not welcome, it is better to be respectful than to obey our fate." Ouyang Qu was also refreshed, and said without clasping his fists with Lu Bing.

The four of them left the room, urged the shopkeeper to quickly arrange the application items in the room, and then went to the restaurant that Lu Bing said together.

—————————————————————————————————————

Walking on the street, naturally no one still remembers Lu Bing who is now dressed in civilian clothes, but Lu Bing still avoids the officials who come and go, after all, those who are officials and officials have a good memory, and they must remember the appearance and details of people, otherwise they will offend no one if they do things, which is also one of the compulsory courses for officials.

The restaurant chosen by Lu Bing is an industry of the Shen family, the reason is that most of the shopkeepers of the larger restaurants next to him know themselves, and the memory of businessmen is no worse than that of officials. However, in the Shen family's restaurant, you can rest assured that this restaurant is newly opened, and you should not know yourself, even if you remember it, you will not confess.

Lu Bing and the other four came to this restaurant called Yangshanzhai, Lu Bing said: "I heard that this is the most famous restaurant in the capital, and now that it is getting late, it is not appropriate to eat too many greasy things, let's eat here, okay?" ”

"Listen to Brother Chiming's arrangement." Gong Yongqing smelled the fragrance of vegetables wafting from the restaurant, swallowed his saliva and said.

The four of them entered Yangshanzhai, which occupies a huge area, three floors high, and dozens of tables on each floor, but even so, it is overcrowded. The shopkeeper was an old man from the Shen family's shop, and if he really recognized Lu Bing at a glance, his body couldn't help but tremble, thinking to himself what this evil god was doing?

But soon, the shopkeeper saw the faces of the three scholars dressed up behind Lu Bing, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, the people Lu Bing befriended were either rich or noble, these three people had never seen each other, what kind of name was it. Looking at his dress and temperament, he doesn't look like a dignitary, he doesn't look like a martial arts hero, he is a poor scholar, what kind of moth is Lu Bing.

Lu Bing's memory was not bad, and he recognized the shopkeeper, and winked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper understood and opened the shop, but he did not recognize Lu Bing, and personally led Lu Bing and the three of them to the private room on the third floor. (To be continued......)
