Seeing that Boss Chen was so enthusiastic, Bu Ru was a little unaccustomed to it, and hurriedly gave up; "Boss Chen doesn't have to be so polite, I don't know if there are any seats?"

"Of course, there is a seat, please come with me." Boss Chen personally led the way in front, greeted the four of them on the second floor, arranged them in a private seat, and just right to stumble a few words before smiling down to arrange wine and food.

In such a small town, there are not many people who can go down to the restaurant and sit in the private seat, and even if there are, it is impossible to come every day.

Plus it was not late, so there were no guests on the second floor.

After a while, the wine and food came up one after another, and the four of them began to toast each other, and the atmosphere chatted happily.

Newly admitted to Xiucai, Bu Confucianism is full of pride, two or three friends continue to have good words, and the audience is happy.

The sky slowly darkened, and then a group of guests came, and in front of them was a handsome young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, carrying a beautiful woman in one hand and a cute little boy of five or six years old in the other.

The three of them were followed by five or six people, one of whom was an old man dressed as a scribe, and the other was a middle-aged man with a grim face.

There are also four big men with their temples bulging high, their eyes like lightning, all of them walking like tigers, but they walk as easily as raccoon cats.

The young man took the beautiful woman and the child and sat down at a table on the other side, and began to talk happily.

The rest of the people were standing next to him, and the middle-aged man with a cold face was in charge of ordering food with the shopkeeper.

This group of people seems to be outsiders, maybe they have just arrived here, and they look a little dusty at this time, but judging from all aspects of clothing, this group of people should be quite rich businessmen.

How can you tell that they are rich businessmen? The group of people was clearly divided into masters and servants, not to mention the clothes of the three people who sat down.

Look at the few big men standing respectfully around the table, all of them in gorgeous clothes.

can afford to raise such a few wealthy servants, not to mention Lin Feng Town, even Gui County does not have it.

However, the Bu Ru and the others were not interested in them, and the four of them only chatted.

When it was dark, I saw a group of people downstairs, about seven or eight people, all dressed as scholars.

They sat down at the table next to Buru, ordered a few cheap jugs of wine and a few simple appetizers, and drank them.

Lao Zhou drank all the wine in his hand at this time, shook his head and said; "I think Brother Bu really has a talent for reading, you see me and Brother Qingshi, both of whom were seven or eight years old, and read four books and five classics at the age of eleven or twelve, and now seven or eight years have passed, and I have only taken one county exam, which is really more popular than people."

"I'm not worse than you, I still have my father at home to teach, and I almost got admitted to the Tongsheng Examination." Peng Qingshi smiled bitterly; "Results, when you get home after the exam, guess what?"

All three looked at him with smiles.

Peng Qingshi slapped his thigh; "I was placed in front of the ancestral tablet and knelt for three days." He laughed.

The four of them laughed for a while, Old Zhou Dao; "After only two or three years of reading, I took the exam as the leader of the Five Classics, and if I read for a few more years, I am afraid that the champion will also be able to catch it."

"Where, where, maybe it happened to be a shit luck ......" Bu Ru arched his hand, and was about to say a few words modestly, when suddenly someone next to him interjected.

"Hehe, I don't think it's as simple as taking shit luck, I'm afraid there are some unsavory or dark box operations."

He looked up and found that it was a little chubby young man from one of the seven or eight scholars next to him.

He wondered; I don't know them all my life, why do I talk about myself for no reason?

Shen Qingzhou frowned and looked at the little fat man and asked; "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

The little fat man didn't look at it, but just sneered; "I'm afraid you know what this means."

The way of Confucianism; "I didn't count it in my heart, why didn't Your Excellency explain it, what is a dark box operation?"

Chubby looked him up and down and said; "You're a Confucian, aren't you? Everyone has read your Chinese articles, and you can get the Five Classics at this level, isn't it greasy? ”

"That is, to tell the truth, the volume can be selected, and it is already a great blessing to sit on the red chair, and it is actually ranked as the top of the Five Classics, there must be something unseemly about this." A lewd-looking man next to him scoffed.

Every time the list is released, a red vertical bar will be drawn behind the last place, and a horizontal bar will be drawn at the bottom.

It looks like a red chair, so people often say that the last one is to sit on the red chair, that is, the tail of the crane.

Shen Qingzhou suddenly stood up and pointed at him; "Put your mother's shit, you can't get into the exam and are you crooked here?"

"Hehe, he's not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"

The little fat man sneered and said; "Besides, these words are not just said by a few of us, and now the people in the whole house who have no opinion on this matter?"

Bu Ru Dao; "Chinese-style essays are chosen by the examiners, if you feel that there is a black box operation. You can go and mention it to the prefect and the superintendent. ”

Then he said; "Besides, we are scholars in the countryside, and we don't know any examiners at all."

The little fat man showed a look of disgust; "Country reader? Hehe, who doesn't know that Bujia Car Shop, Bujia Powder Shop is thriving now, making so much money, and I don't know how much I took to open the door. ”

"That's right, if you don't open the door, then the nonsense article will get a Five Classics Kui?"

As he said this, the ears of the young man sitting not far away stood up.

Bu Ru's eyes are as colored as sharp swords; "What's your name? Saying such heart-wrenching words, can you dare to say these words to the prefect of my Taoist mansion? ”

The chubby man laughed; "Heh, you still use the prefect's name to scare me? Do you know? These words were spoken by the prefect's nephew. ”

Bu Ru pointed at the little fat man and said sharply; "I advise you not to talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, if you spread rumors and make trouble, slander the reputation of me and the government, we will see you in the yamen."

Lewd guy said; "Still saying that there is no way, at this time, the government is coming to press us? Hahaha. ”

After that, everyone at the same table burst into laughter.

Some people say that the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and some people say that it is bluffing.

Then the lewd man said again; "Don't talk about the Five Classics in your article, even if you sit on a red chair, it's reluctant, especially that Shang Shuwen, let's see what he wrote?"

"There are so many people who read books here, so I will read this Shangshu text to everyone and see if this article is the best of the Five Classics." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and opened his mouth to read it.

The entire second floor fell silent.

Bu Ru looked at him coldly and did not speak.

That guy seems to have read for a few years, and he still reads it in a low tone.

The article was read quickly, and the second floor suddenly exploded.
