Lu Er drove the carriage to a stop at the place of Changyuan Teahouse, Rong Qingqing and Jiang Yun got off the carriage one after the other, and after finding the shopkeeper and asking for a relatively remote position in the hall, he sat down and ordered a few special snacks here.

After the two of them sat down, Lu Er also came over.

"Young lady, when I stopped the carriage, I seemed to hear someone talking about what some time ago, Bangyan invited the same students and teachers to a banquet, and then the prime minister and the dean also went." Lu Er said in a low voice.

Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, the prime minister and the dean have gone?

It is possible that the dean will go, after all, he is also a student of Shangshantang, and his final grades are not bad, so the prime minister is more likely, after all, a Pisces pendant is worth 500,000 taels.

But since she knew that the dean was Luo Wenliang, and when she heard that the dean and the prime minister were going together, she had a strange idea in her heart.

At that time, Luo Wenliang was threatened by Song Yunfeng to betray Xue Pin, but after that, Luo Wenliang not only did not leave Kyoto, but also went to Shangshantang as the dean, and it seems that he has maintained a friendly relationship with Prime Minister Song Yunfeng, plus among the thirty-two officials who were imprisoned for corruption, ten of them were from Shangshantang, and they all had an unusual relationship with Prime Minister Song Yunfeng, which is more intriguing.

Soon, the tea and snacks that Rong gently called were served.

Jiang Yun poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them, and then couldn't wait to taste the bergamot cake that her master said. This bergamot crisp tastes really good, the skin is very crispy, the filling is sweet, and it is not bad as the signature dim sum of this Changyuan teahouse, but it is definitely worse than Sister Qin.

Rong took a sip of tea, remembering that the last time he came here to see Zhu Yucheng, he specially called the private room on the second floor, but Zhu Yucheng still disliked the tea and said that Sangyu Lou was better. At the same time, there was a sense of arrogance and unwillingness, and in the end it ended unhappily anyway.

Now, it's all a foregone conclusion.

Su Shaoan is the champion, Zhu Yucheng is the leader, and at the same time was incorporated into the Hanlin Academy.

Although there is only one person missing, the current relationship in the court should be good, and it can even be said that it is like a fish in water, after all, with the prime minister on his side, he naturally has many more opportunities than others, and it is estimated that he will never come to this Changyuan teahouse again.

Thinking about it, Rong gently shook his head slightly and smiled disdainfully.

Jiang Yun suddenly asked, "Master, what are you laughing at?" ”

Rong said softly: "I laugh at some people's hearts that are higher than the sky. ”

Jiang Yun was confused when she heard this, and Rong Qing didn't intend to explain, so she started to taste a snack indifferently and gave it to Lu Er by the way.

Lu Er ate the food cooked by Sister Qin in the Lu Mansion, and the dim sum made by Sister Qin, but now he feels the difference when he eats outside.

Rong Qing saw that the two of them looked a little disgusted, so he chuckled, then took a sip of tea and listened to the discussions of the people around him.

Changyuan Tea House is the favorite place for students of Shangshantang, but they don't go to the private room on the second floor, because the price is too high, and they are all the same tea, so why spend that extra money.

So this time, Rong Qing deliberately didn't go to the second floor, but found a corner in this hall, wanting to listen to what the surrounding students were talking about every day.

After listening to it for a while, Rong Qing couldn't help frowning slightly, this Shangshantang's educational philosophy has a big problem in the first place, what does it mean to blame yourself for having a bad background, so no matter how hard you try, you can't compare to those noble sons? Da Liang's big exam system is quite fair, even the children of the nobility have to study hard to get good grades, and the family may be able to help you, but it can't help you do anything on the way to the exam.

For example, Xue Pin's incident should also be a special case, because there has never been a problem so far.

"If you want me to say, the champion should be our Shangshantang, but it's a pity that Su Shao'an was intercepted halfway, and Su Shao'an seems to be from a big family in Jiangnan......."

I was bored eating snacks, and suddenly I heard Su Shaoan's name, and it was actually slanderous, and I couldn't sit still immediately.

Rong gently pressed her and shook her head.

"Yes, it is said that it is the Su family in Jiangnan, rich and powerful, and it is estimated that it is not a good thing in Jiangnan." A man said in a deep voice of disdain.

"Eat well, dress well, and study effortlessly, it's a pity that we work hard to make wedding dresses for others, and are stepped on to the sky." The other person said with pity on his face, in fact, with Zhu Yucheng's strength, he should be a champion.

"Shhhh A mocking voice rang out, and everyone burst into laughter.

"It's going to die." Rong opened his mouth suddenly, and his voice was not low, so everyone heard it clearly.

Jiang Yun snorted coldly and said: "I think you are all crazy, His Majesty the Emperor personally came up with the question, and personally announced the top three, and there are still people who dare to question it, I see that you are all thinking about losing your heads." ”

Rong sneered lightly and said, "I don't know whether to admire your boldness or laugh at you for dying in such a public place." ”

Those who had just been talking turned pale with fright, and after glancing at each other, they immediately got up and paid the bill and left.

At this time, a man wearing a purple and blue robe and cloud-patterned boots walked over slowly, looked at Rong lightly, and bowed slightly: "Why should Young Lady Lu scare these students, it's just that she is young and ignorant." ”

Rong looked at Zhu Yucheng lightly and said with a mocking face: "I'm saving them, otherwise if their words are spread, don't say that they will be disqualified from the big exam, even if they are imprisoned, they will not be wronged." ”

Zhu Yucheng froze slightly, his eyes were slightly cold, and after glancing at Rong Qing, he looked at the people on both sides who didn't even look at him and just cared about his hard work.

Rong looked at him lightly and found that Zhu Yucheng was completely different from that time, too, Zhu Yucheng was originally the young master of the down-and-out family, and now he can see the bright moon through the clouds, which is naturally different from the poor and sour at that time, but this is also too exquisite.

From the crown to the clothes to the boots, almost everything is carefully tailored and the price is estimated to be low...... She remembered that the Hanlin Academy's Yulu was not high, and it had just been incorporated into it, so she was so rich and so exquisite? Is it because of cooperation with the prime minister?

"What is Young Lady Lu doing here?" Zhu Yucheng suppressed his emotions and asked lightly.

Rong lightly raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "It's not appropriate to use condescension on me, I'm just a businessman, and I just did the perfect food competition, so I have to taste the characteristics everywhere." ”

Zhu Yucheng said this lightly, but remembered that there was indeed a very lively food competition some time ago, and the bounties were very high, almost worth two months of his salary.
