Jiang Yansi squeaked and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Wenxuan, I've only entered two kinds of shops when I've lived so big, and I don't know what's fun about it." ”

Zhu Guichao felt strange and asked, "Which two are they, let's hear about them." ”

Jiang Yansi subconsciously looked at the pedestrians on the left and right, leaned into Zhu Guichao's ear and said: "The first type is the rice shop, I didn't go home to eat when I took the exam, so I ate in the restaurant, and it was just some thatched porridge shacks and the like, and I have never been extravagant." ”

Zhu Guichao took over and said: "You are too saving, can your family still have less of your two Sichuan road expenses?" ”

Jiang Yansi replied: "This is a family style, I am used to it." The second is the bookstore and the four treasures of the study...... shop. ”

"Naturally, how can anyone who reads not enter this kind of store." Zhu Guichao shook his head when he heard this, he really admired this Jiang Yansi.

At this moment, the crowd in front of him was in chaos, and then some people dodged to both sides of the road, and several stalls were mixed into the crowd, so anxious that the stall owner begged everyone not to trample on his goods.

Zhu Guichao pulled Jiang Yansi, who was at a loss.

It turned out that a motorized carriage passed through the street, kicking up the dust of the old high.

After the car, the crowd closed as before, Jiang Yansi lowered his head to dust off his clothes, and heard Zhu Guichao scolding on the side: "Slut, bully me too much, don't let me see you again." ”

Jiang Yansi quickly straightened up, not knowing what was going on. Seeing Zhu Guichao staring at the direction of the carriage and being ruthless, Jiang Yansi thought that the carriage had collided with Zhu Guichao, and hurriedly asked him if he was okay.

Zhu Guichao took Jiang Yansi to visit several pen and ink shops and bookstores, and Jiang Yansi bought two writing brushes, a spindle of cigarette ink and a bunch of letterheads. And Zhu Guichao bought a pound of drunken immortal wine.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the two wanted to find a store to stay in, preparing to stay in Guizhou for one night.

Along. Zhu Guichao no longer talks to Jiang Yansi, he just thinks about things alone.

Jiang Yansi felt that Zhu Guichao was not right, but he didn't dare to ask more, and followed him without raising his head all the way.

I found an inn to stay in, and it was dinner time.

Zhu Guichao ignored the courteous greetings of the guys in the store, and asked Jiang Yansi to go to the room first, and left a few dishes for himself.

A while. Zhu Guichao was carrying a pound of drunken immortal wine he bought in the afternoon in his left hand, and a multi-layer food box in his right hand, and when he saw Jiang Yansi, he said, "Come." We're going to get drunk tonight. ”

In Zhu Guichao's voice, Jiang Yansi heard a trace of resentment and helplessness.

As he spoke, Zhu Guichao put the trivial things in his hand on the table in the middle of the north gable, and moved the lamp from the desk by the window. motioned for Jiang Yansi to sit down. He himself pulled a chair and sat down.

He said to Jiang Yansi: "I bought this drunken immortal wine and wanted to hide it and drink it slowly in my room, which can be regarded as borrowing wine to drown my sorrows, but when I thought that you had nothing to do at night, I came over to drink and chat with you, and I went back at will." ”

Jiang Yansi knew in his heart that there must be something in Zhu Guichao's heart, not that Zhu Guichao was stingy with this drunken immortal wine, although the drunken immortal wine was expensive. But with the financial resources of the Zhu and Jiang families, even if they drink it often. It's also affordable.

Jiang Yansi never dared to drink privately at home, and there were only two limited cups during the New Year's Festival, and it was generally sweet potato roast, eating and drinking as casually as now, and drinking drunk fairy wine, which Jiang Yansi didn't dare to think about at home. A pound of drunken immortal wine, that can get a hundred taels of silver, is enough for the use of a medium family of five for ten years.

Zhu Guichao's dishes are also very delicious, with a proper combination of cold and hot meat and vegetables, and he is a frequent guest of the hotel at first glance.

This drunken immortal wine is strong, Jiang Yansi only takes a small sip every time, and he doesn't dare to drink more.

Zhu Guichao was full of worries, and he was drinking wine to drown his sorrows, drinking one cup at a time, but the loss was that the wine glass was small, otherwise at this rate, it would be a matter of a while to get drunk.

Suddenly, he put the wine cup on the table and poured the words in his stomach to Jiang Yansi: "Bohan, didn't I tell you at noon, the scientific examination is not based on knowledge, but on background and luck. My luck is better than yours, I passed the state exam two years ago, but what's the use? ”

"It's a pity that you don't go to the Bo Academy for the college examination, if you go, maybe you can really glorify the court and become an official." Jiang Yansi stopped his chopsticks and said regretfully, for Zhu Guichao, Jiang Yansi really felt sorry for him.

"For an official?" Zhu Guichao's tone was a little sarcastic, "I don't think I am as innocent and comfortable as I am now." ”

Zhu Guichao drank three more glasses in one go, and in a slightly drunk hazy eye, he told Jiang Yansi about the reason why he was not happy today.

It turned out that on the street this afternoon, Zhu Guichao saw the carriage coming, so he pulled Jiang Yansi to the side, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the carriage riding Zhou Guangxi, the secretary in charge of the state capital, and a girl named Lin Zhifeng, whom he met last month.

Zhou Guangxi, the secretary in charge, is a well-known person in the state government who makes a fuss in the habitual wind and moon field, although he is forty years away, he still has the heart to steal incense and jade. Perennial freewheeling gave him an unstraight waist and a meatless turmeric face.

That Lin Zhifeng is a famous woman in the west of the city. Some people say that it is because of her outstanding appearance and easy-going treatment, some people say that it is because her tragic experience and euphemistic singing voice make people pity, and some people say that she is a secret person who relies on men to eat.

Zhu Guichao didn't pay much attention to these discussions before, but last month, by chance, he got acquainted with this famous woman.

Zhou Guangxi's status in the state capital is very high, it can be said that he is under one person and above everyone, but he has neither talent nor virtue, and he only eats and drinks to invite people's hearts. Since Zhu Guichao got his grandfather Zhu Pengliang to get him an errand in the state capital, he has never formed a party with others, let alone bought Zhou Guangxi's account, and refused his invitation several times. In addition, Zhu Guichao entered the officialdom for the first time, and he didn't know the stakes involved, and every time he encountered Zhou Guangxi's misapproval of official documents or misspellings, he pointed out in public, which made him unable to get off the stage. For this reason, Zhou Guangxi held a grudge and always wanted to wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

At the beginning of last month, Zhou Guangxi's forty-fourth birthday, Zhu Guichao also got an invitation and invited him to a banquet. Zhu Guichao thought that it seemed unreasonable not to do such a thing as a birthday, so he prepared a birthday gift, and wanted to put the birthday gift down, and then find an excuse to come out and finish the matter, but he didn't expect to meet Lin Zhifeng in the Zhou Mansion.

When Zhu Guichao arrived at the Zhou Mansion, the feast had not yet begun. When the servants of the Zhou Mansion saw him coming, they were very attentive and took him directly into the hall, where some servants were busy putting up lights. On the side, Zhou Guangxi and a young girl stood opposite each other as if they were theorizing something, only to hear the girl say: "Okay, just let me sing happy songs, I haven't learned these obscene words and songs, I won't."
