In a box in the Zhuangyuan Building, Lin Jin and Wu Jiugong sat opposite each other, and the table was full of the restaurant's specialty dishes.

Wu Jiugong looked at the delicacies of the mountains and seas that had been cooked on the table, and said with a smile: "It's rare, it's really rare, if I'm not mistaken, we've known each other for so many years, as if this is the first time you've invited me to dinner."

It stands to reason that I should be deeply honored, but I always feel that there is no good feast, so if you don't explain your intentions, I will not feel at ease eating this meal. ”

Lin Jin glanced at him angrily and explained: "In the past, we were both in Yangzhou, if we wanted to meet, we could meet as soon as we raised our feet, and there was no need to invite you to dinner." Isn't it, you're going to Luzon in three days, and it's going to take three or five months, so I'm going to invite you to dinner and eat for you. ”

Wu Jiugong nodded, put his mind at ease, and asked again before picking up the chopsticks and preparing to eat: "By the way, I will go to Luzon this time, do you want to go with me?" Actually, I think you should go with me, after all, this three-year plan for the development of Luzon was formulated by you, although I listened to your explanation, but after all, it is not as good as you, and after you go over in person, I see that there is something on the Luzon side that does not cooperate well with the plan you made, and you need to adjust it, and I will take action, which is definitely not as good as you. ”

Lin Jin smiled, shook his head and said: "It's not that you don't know that I can't go out of Yangzhou, why bother with this lip and tongue, what's more, I still have to prepare for next year's imperial examination, where is there any idle time." ”

Next year's imperial examination is just in time for the triennial college examination, so after she finishes the county examination and the government examination, she can directly take the college examination, as long as a year's hard work can test the fame of Xiucai, if she misses it, unless she waits for the next three years, otherwise, even if she has passed the county examination and the government examination, the college examination is once every three years, and she must wait until the college examination is open before she can take the exam.

If she goes into battle by herself, then it doesn't matter how long she waits, but she is going to cheat, and she finally found a substitute candidate, because girls develop earlier than boys, so now, she is about the same height as the teenager who took the substitute exam, but after a few years, the other party is taller than her, and even if she participates in the imperial examination, there is no portrait, but a single text description, a height will be exposed.

Wu Jiugong said that, but in fact, he didn't have much hope. Because he knows that because of the scarcity of heirs, the Lin family regards every child as an eyeball, don't look at Lin Ruhai's knees There are currently two sons, but the youngest son has been passed out, so Lin Jin is still the only male in the Lin family. Therefore, except for Lin Jin sneaking out, otherwise, the Lin family would never let her go far away.

……

Just when Wu Jiugong and Lin Jin were feasting, Zhuangyuan Building ushered in two guests who made the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper mutter.

As the shopkeeper of a restaurant, he doesn't know how many guests he has to receive every day, and in order not to offend people and not cause trouble to his master, they inevitably have to practice a pair of eyesight.

The two guests who came today were dressed very ordinarily, and they seemed to be a little bit afraid of money, but the momentum of the two of them was not only different, but also suspicious in their dress.

Although the boots worn by the one at the front were not official boots, they were exquisitely made, very rare, and the materials used seemed to be extraordinary; Although the momentum of the one who followed behind was inferior, and his clothes and shoes were also very ordinary, but the folding fan in his hand showed flaws, which seemed to be ordinary, but in fact, it was a tribute, and his own master had one, which was regarded as a treasure, but in terms of appearance, it could not compare to the handle in the other party's hand.
