Chapter 54: Waiting (2nd Watch)

Just past noon, Mochizuki Tower already has a tendency to be overwhelmed.

Usually after noon, even if the Moon Tower is already the first restaurant in the capital, it is not inevitable that it will be empty, after all, after the meal, no matter how good the restaurant is, no one needs it!

The news of Liang Jiu's amplifier spread very quickly, and readers would more or less feel that they had no talent, so they all wanted to come over and join in the fun.

It doesn't matter if it's fun, but the restaurant is so big, and there are too many people coming, so it's naturally easy to be noisy.

"What's going on, why is it so noisy."

Liang Jiugong: "Back to Long Live Lord, there have been many people reading in the lobby downstairs, and they all want to have a lively time. ”

Kangxi was at ease, and said to Yinzhen: "This is your restaurant, you can solve this problem." ”

As for how to solve it, Kangxi didn't say, he gave his son a chance to perform.

When Yinzhen heard this, he was ordered to leave the private room.

After about a quarter of an hour, the restaurant was quiet, and Yinzhen came up.

"What did you do?"

Although he had confidence in his son, he was inevitably too fast, and it was only a long time before the originally noisy lobby suddenly quieted down, and Kangxi was curious about what kind of method he used to do it.

"Erchen just let the shopkeeper set up another place for the competition outside the door, the number of places is limited, Erchen gave them a chance, let them practice the pen first, find the feeling, and then say, wait for a competition, you can't always come, and it is convenient to remove those who fish in troubled waters first and wait for the next competition."

Kangxi nodded, very satisfied, this son really didn't disappoint him: "Good job, sit down and wait!" ”

Tong Cheng'er saw it in her eyes, and admired the efficiency of this fourth elder brother, if the maids around her could have such an effect and efficiency, she felt that she could really lie down comfortably in this life.

What a pity! It's a pity that such a good brain is not her maid's.

Yinzhen paid special attention to Tong Cheng'er, so even if her eyes were extremely vague, she was still noticed and felt by Yinzhen, and then he felt strange, what kind of eyes did she have, but what was it? Is there anything to pity about him?

It made him confused, and he was really confused.

It was still three minutes early, and Kangxi asked someone to bring a chessboard: "Can you learn to play chess?" ”

"Back to Long Live Lord, the slave understands a little."

"Accompany me for the next game."

"Yes."

Staying with the emperor, even if there are others in this private room, Tong Cheng'er feels extremely uncomfortable, because she can't move around casually, she can't talk casually, and she is depressed and panicked.

Kangxi and Tong Xuewen are fascinated by chess, Tong Xuewen's chess skills are good, and Kangxi can't say that he can't say bad at chess, but as an emperor, he has too many things to do, and his chess skills can only be regarded as good, and the two are on par.

After playing a game of chess, Kangxi narrowly won in the end.

Kangxi asked people to collect the chessboard, and then sighed: "The future is terrifying, and the game is good." ”

"It's the slave who sacrifices his ugliness."

Kangxi looked at a room of people quietly, and then realized that he seemed to be too obsessed with it, and hung a room of people to dry.

"It's almost time, let's learn to prepare!"

Tong Xuewen retired, and when he left, Tong Cheng'er and Shu Yu naturally left together.

When they left, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Tong Cheng'er was still nervous even if it wasn't the first time she saw Kangxi, and the power of the emperor was really suffocating.

The three of them glanced at each other, and then Tong Cheng'er said, "Second brother, do you want to read a book for a while?" ”

Tong Xuewen shook his head with a smile: "How can there be a book for me to read, are you confused?" ”

Tong Cheng'er: It seems to be the same.

The three of them went back to the private room, thinking about the sound insulation effect of the private room, and didn't say much.

Anyway, Tong Cheng'er is really scared, what luck is she, she is here for the third time, she has met Kangxi twice, and she has seen the fourth elder brother three times, she feels that she has an inextricable relationship with this restaurant.

She will definitely not come to this restaurant in the future, it is useless to invite anyone, she will not come.

It's too evil.

Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to spread the news, not only the scholars in the capital got the news, but Zhang Ying himself also heard the news, he didn't expect that someone would use his name to make a raft and make such a big battle.

The official has done this, and there is no shortage of sons in the family, he knows that Wan Sui Ye is wary of officials from Han people, and he doesn't dare to accept any disciples, and he makes such a big fanfare.

When Zhang Ying heard the housekeeper's report, his first reaction was whether his political enemy wanted to mess with him, he was afraid that this matter would reach Kangxi's ears, so he immediately sent someone to Wangyue Tower to verify.

Kangxi used his name, and he would not hide it from him, listening to Liang Jiugong say that Zhang Ying sent someone to investigate, so he asked Liang Jiugong to tell the whole story, Zhang Ying learned from the housekeeper, so he changed into light clothes and went to Wangyue Tower.

Since it's Long Live Lord, it's okay, he went to see what arrangements Long Live Lord had.

As a loyal courtier, if you want to mix well in the court, you must understand a little bit of the mind of the Long Live Lord.

Although the operation of the Long Live Lord is a little "coquettish", he is the Long Live Lord.

Zhang Ying not only can't be angry, but also has to be grateful to Dade, after all, Long Live Lord uses him, that is his honor to be a courtier.

Don't say anything about the literati style, this thing can't be promoted, besides, the wind and bones are for colleagues, long live Lord needs courtiers who can share his worries, but he is not a literati and elegant guest with a backbone.

Zhang Ying thought about the intention of Long Live Lord's operation, and with years of experience, he guessed Kangxi's thoughts, and then the carriage arrived at Mochiyue Tower.

"Long live Lord, Lord Zhang Ying is here."

Kangxi thought to himself, this old fox came really fast.

"Let him in!"

"Yes."

"The minion has seen the Lord of Long Live Lord."

"Okay, get up, Liang Jiugong, take a seat."

Zhang Ying got up: "Slave Xie Long Live Lord." ”

With that, he sat down.

Kangxi said: "You came just in time, after a while, you go out to show your face, as for whether to accept disciples, who to accept as disciples, you can decide for yourself." ”

Zhang Ying: "The slave obeys." ”

Time flies quickly, and after rounds of screening outside the Moon Tower, Tong Xuewen himself and Xu Chengzhi are only fifty people who can finally enter the Moon Tower to participate in the competition.

Fifty people is not a small number.

Before the time came, the shopkeeper came out to preside over the overall situation.

Xu Chengzhi's wine has been sober for a while, and after he woke up and knew what had happened, he was told that he must participate in a competition later, saying that it was requested by the nobles, and he was very scared.

"Brother Wang, what do you say, I'm only sobering up from this wine, and besides, who is the person who asked me to compete, don't you participate in this competition?"

Wang Linyu said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this won't work, I heard that if you can stand out in this competition, you will have the opportunity to become a disciple of Lord Zhang Ying." ”

Xu Chengzhi: "Do you think that noble person will be Lord Zhang Ying?" ”

Wang Linyu shook his head: "I don't know much about this, but the noble man said that you and Tong Xuewen are the first competition." ”

Xu Chengzhi sighed: "In the future, I will definitely quit drinking, drinking will make mistakes!" ”

Xu Chengzhi was able to go to the last step, naturally he was not really stupid, where did he not understand what the noble man said, he must have seen his drunken behavior, if he could really win Tong Xuewen, it would be fine, but he would be able to score fifty in the exam, and what is he compared to Hui Yuan.

Wang Linyu sighed: "It's useless to say more, Chengzhi, you do your best, and apologize after the competition." ”

Xu Chengzhi said dejectedly: "It can only be like this." "It's better to lose face than to lose face, his family is a small family in the south of the Yangtze River, but in any case, it is not as good as the children of the Beijing family who have a title in the family.

He was so confused, how could he say such a foolish thing!

What's not good to hold back in his heart, why didn't he say anything about the door, he regretted that he didn't come out today.
