Chapter 111: Going to the Feast
Xiao Er immediately realized it, bowed down and said, "Miss, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for walking too recklessly and tearing Miss's clothes, and please forgive Miss." ”
Jiang Yuting's clothes have been mended, and she is in a good mood, and she is not an unforgiving person.
Seeing Xiao Er's apology, Jiang Yuting said: "It's okay, it's all a trivial matter, and now the clothes have been mended." ”
At such a scene, Shen Yueying laughed.
This can also be regarded as repaying the shopkeeper's free room money.
However, when she checked out, the shopkeeper exempted her from the food money.
After Shen Yueying heard this, she took out the silver ticket and handed it to the shopkeeper, and said embarrassedly: "The shopkeeper has already waived our room fee before, and we are already very grateful." Now the money for this meal, the shopkeeper should accept it! ”
The shopkeeper didn't answer, and pushed the silver ticket back.
"If it weren't for Madame, I wouldn't know what to do today! Madame took my distress. ”
"It's just the price of a meal, compared with the one hundred taels that the maid wanted, it's very little, and I ask the lady not to be polite."
Shen Yueying couldn't get rid of it left and right, glanced at Yu Hua, and had no choice but to take the silver ticket back.
"Then thank you shopkeeper!"
And Jiang Yuting didn't break her promise, and in the afternoon, Shen Yueying and Yu Hua received an invitation from a servant claiming to be from the governor's mansion.
Later in the day, the two went to the governor's mansion as promised.
The governor's mansion was full of lights, and it was very lively, and the people who came to the appointment were either rich or noble, or they were some famous talents.
When they arrived at the two of them, the little maid who registered at the door said respectfully: "Please also ask the son and the girl to show the invitation." ”
When Shen Yueying heard this, she touched her sleeve pocket, but she couldn't find it, and then she suddenly remembered that the invitation was left in the room by her.
It's embarrassing!
She touched her nose and said to the porter:
"I forgot to bring the invitation, can you be accommodating, we were invited by Miss Jiang Yuting."
At this time, a mockery came from the side, full of malice.
"What did you forget? I think you just want to sneak into the governor's mansion and see that people want to be invited, so you made up what Miss Jiang invited! ”
Shen Yueying looked over and saw that it was a young scholar, with a sallow face and gloomy eyes, without the slightest bit of vitality that a young man should have.
There were also a few people around the scholar, with a respectful look on their faces, and they all echoed:
"The old man is right, it must be a small man who wants to sneak into the patrol mansion!"
"Concierge, don't drive this grass folk away yet, so as not to dirty the door!"
"Miss Jiang invited you, a poor scholar, don't you want to go in and steal something?"
Suddenly, everyone erupted in laughter.
Shen Yueying frowned, these people are so rude!
Yu Hua looked at him, and there was some impression in his mind.
He is the last scholar in the county who passed the township examination and became a lifter, but failed in the examination, called Ji Nan'an.
was suddenly splashed with dirty water, and in front of so many literati, even Yu Hua, who has always had a good temper, was a little displeased.
"We did receive the invitation, but we forgot it in our room, and it was my fault that we didn't prepare well for the banquet."
"But the gentleman is cautious in his words and quick in action, and he also asks the discipline to be cautious."
Ji Nanan's eyes were frivolous, and he stepped forward and patted Yu Hua's shoulder and mocked.
"Yu Hua, weren't you afraid of falling off the list before, so you didn't go to the imperial examination three years ago? Why did you come to the provincial capital this year, do you want to take the township test? ”
As soon as these words came out, there were mocking voices all around.
Ji Nan'an looked around, very satisfied, and said sarcastically with a smile: "You won't run away again when the time comes." ”
Shen Yueying looked at him with disgust, not wanting Yu Hua to talk to such a villain here, pulled Yu Hua's sleeve, and said: "This person's behavior is no different from a villain, Xianggong, let's go." ”
Ji Nan'an stretched out his arm and stopped the two, looking at Shen Yueying with an unkind look.
"You can't go, Yu prodigy, tell me if you are afraid that you will not pass the exam, so you will not participate in the imperial examination? Plainly, let there be one less opponent under it! ”
Shen Yueying was very annoyed when she saw Ji Nan'an being so entangled, it didn't mean that Hua opened her mouth, and directly retorted: "My father-in-law did not participate in the imperial examination because of filial piety, may I ask Ji Juren, which is more important than filial piety and future!" ”
Ji Nan'an was dumbfounded, how did he answer this question?
When today's son rules the world with filial piety, if he answers the future, he will inevitably be scolded by everyone.
If you answer filial piety, isn't it just a slap in the face?
"I don't care about women."
He threw down a sentence in embarrassment, and fled.
When the two saw Ji Nan'an leaving, they planned to leave like this and go back to the inn to get the invitation, but they were stopped by the registered maid.
"Wait a minute, Miss has been notified today, saying that a son and a lady have been invited."
"Since the two of you are young lady's guests, let's go in first."
The two went to the back garden of the Governor's Mansion under the leadership of the Governor's Mansion.
The governor is to set up a banquet in the back garden, the pavilions and pavilions in the garden, the flowing water is curved, and it is extremely elegant.
As far as the eye can see, there are quite talented scholars everywhere, where they are in groups of three or five, reciting poems against each other.
When the two entered the garden, they found a quiet corner and sat down, but they were soon noticed.
Yu Hua has a great reputation in Lianhua County, and has been known as a prodigy since he was a child.
When everyone saw Yu Hua, they began to talk about it.
Shen Yueying could hear the voices around her, and some candidates shook their heads and sighed: "It's so bad luck, I actually have a session with him, I'm afraid I will be compared to him at that time." ”
Of course, there are also some people who look at Yu Hua unpleasantly, and say in a jealous tone: "Yu Hua's family has changed, and he must have no intention of studying, I am afraid that he has become a mediocre person, so I don't have to be afraid!" ”
Yu Hua didn't argue, his attitude was calm, but it attracted many people to praise him secretly in his heart.
This son is so magnanimous and extraordinary.
At the banquet, after three rounds of wine, Governor Jiang said: "Everyone is a long-standing talent, and they have grand ambitions. ”
After hearing this, the literati present were very enthusiastic.
Everyone wants to be in the limelight in front of the governor, get his appreciation, and show their ambitions.
Ji Nan'an is also one of them, and his poems also won the jackpot, and everyone praised him.
Only Yu Hua listened to everyone chanting one poem after another, smiling, but he never said a word.
The person who was at the same table as Yu Hua, seeing that Yu Hua never spoke, asked: "Why doesn't this brother give a poem?" ”
Yu Hua just shook his head and didn't speak.
Shen Yueying couldn't help but shake her head, this banquet still has to compose poems on the spot, how can you eat this food?
She didn't want to tell her to recite poems!
Ji Nan'an was praised by the governor, and he was very proud, and deliberately opened his mouth to provoke: "Brother Yu Hua, what do you think of the poem I just made?" ”
