Weixi champion bucket is a well-known activity in Guizhou. More than 100 years ago, Weixi, a small city, produced three consecutive scientific expedition champions. One day, the three champions appeared in the Xishanyang Restaurant in the city by chance.

As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, but this small city in Weixi has produced three champions. Maybe it's to divide you high and low, or maybe it's just a momentary skill itch, the three champions came to a sensational big competition in Xishanyang Restaurant.

The competition involves nine major parts: history, literature, medicine, martial arts, calligraphy and painting, astrology, mathematics, etiquette, and religion. It is said that the competition at that time can be described as a shocking crying ghosts and gods, and later even alarmed the emperor of the previous dynasty, and specially drove to watch the competition.

The years go by, and the dynasties change. Although the original grand occasion has been passed down from generation to generation, the customs of Weixi Zhuangyuan Dou have been handed down.

The location of the champion bucket is still in the Xishanyang Restaurant, and the time is set on the first day of October every year, which is said to be the birthday of the first champion winner. No one will delve into the specific source. What everyone is more concerned about is the title and prize of this year's champion.

"This champion has brought a lot of prestige to Weixi, so every year the Yezhou Yamen will spend great efforts to invite respected people to preside over the competition. The Qianzhong Dao Ya will also give extremely generous rewards to attract talents from all walks of life. ”

They lined up and listened to the people in the crowd talking.

"And what's the reward this year?"

"I don't know, it's definitely a baby anyway."

"Hey, I don't know, how do you know it's a baby?"

"I'll find out at night."

"Alright, let's go inside." After queuing for more than half an hour, it was finally their turn.

The group was already a little hungry, and they were almost non-stop on the road during this time, and they hadn't sat down for a meal for several days. Although Qinglian's craftsmanship is good, it is difficult for Qiao women to cook without rice, and they are always roasted sweet potatoes or roasted game, which is also a little tired.

Their route was to pass through the city of Weixi, where they would stop for a day of rest and reorganization. But I didn't expect to meet the Weixi champion fight, and under the eyes of several people, they decided to stay and watch tonight's competition before leaving. That way, they won't have to sleep out in the wild tonight.

The group followed the flow of people to the Weixi Inn. Lu Chaotian pulled the carriage and the horse to the stable, and Qian Scarlet Moon and they went to the front hall to get the key.

"The shopkeeper, room 234." Leng Qinglian took the room card given to her by Ming Qiu to the shopkeeper, and before she could take out the silver, she was interrupted by a voice.

"Wait!"

The three of them followed the prestige and saw a small servant stretching out his hand towards them: "Several, a few of us came together, but we were separated, I wonder if it is convenient to exchange rooms with us?" ”

Mingqiu, who was on the side, came up and said softly: "The Tianzi and Dizi rooms are in the backyard, and the herringbone and Fanzi rooms are in the front yard." Accommodation upstairs in the front yard and dining room downstairs"

was explained by Ming Qiu like this, and Qian Scarlet Moon and they understood. Looking at the noisy dining room downstairs, the other party should be noisy.

Leng Qinglian glanced at Qian Feiyue, accepted the meaning in her eyes, and then took out the silver just now, and handed over the room fee to the shopkeeper: "Twenty taels, the shopkeeper will put it away." ”

The shopkeeper already understood the action, and these people didn't want to change: "Guest officer, please take the key." He handed the key to Leng Qinglian and took the house card to register.

When the little guy saw this scene, his face was obviously stiff: "The shopkeeper is slow!" ”

He stepped forward and walked in front of Qian Mo and Qian Feiyue, and he could see that these two were the main ones: "Two, my young master is not in very good health, I don't know if I can help make a room out, even if it's one." As he spoke, he bowed quite sincerely.

"Boss!" At this time, the doorway shouted loudly to the sky, interrupting the little man's words. He walked quickly to Qian Mo and muttered a few words in his ear.

Qian Mo raised his eyebrows, pulled Qian Scarlet Moon and walked to the backyard.

"Hey—" The little guy watched a few people turn around unceremoniously, and his face instantly fell. He just wanted to call them out loud, but after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and recognized it. It's just that this breath is held in the chest, and it is really uncomfortable.

He turned his head to the shopkeeper and sneered and said, "Shopkeeper Ye, you are very good!" Hum! With that, he flicked his sleeves and went upstairs.

"Shopkeeper, what should I do?" Seeing this, Xiao Er came up with some worry. A few guests didn't know the identity of this little guy just now, but he knew.

"There's no hurry." The shopkeeper calmly dialed the abacus, what about the assistant teacher of Guozi, if the Hua family couldn't settle this matter, they wouldn't be able to reach the status of the richest man in Dayan today.

"Boss, girl, what is Guozi's assistant teacher?" Lu Chaotian inquired about some news, and he first asked the question in his heart.

"Guozijian is divided into six halls, and each hall has an assistant teacher, who is responsible for the teaching of the six halls of Guozijian. To put it bluntly, he is the teacher who lectures to those kings and nobles in the Guozi Prison. Qian Scarlet Moon explained softly.

Lu Chaotian nodded, he walked around the stable and the back kitchen, and had already heard a lot of things. The main owner who wanted to change the room just now is called Liu Zhaoyun, the eldest grandson of Liu Pinxi, the assistant teacher of the current dynasty.

"This Liu Zhaoyun wants to change to the Tianzi room, because he wants to get close to the Tianzi room." Lu Chaotian pointed to the upstairs room and said with a sneer.

"Who lives in the Tianzi room?"

"The host and referee of this champion fight, when the dynasty is from the second grade of Guanglu doctor, Mu Tejin." Lu Chaotian took out a notice, which was just posted on the notice board by the Yezhou Mansion at noon, "Mu Tejin, because of his profound knowledge and knowledge, was named the doctor of Guanglu by Emperor Yan, and was in charge of the imperial court advisers to deal with matters. ”

"What do you mean?" Mingqiu was a little dizzy when he heard it.

Embarrassment flashed on Lu Chaotian's face, these are all from what he heard, and he didn't know what kind of special entry was what kind of official.

"The princes are meritorious, and those who are respected by the court will be given special advancement, under the three dukes." Qian Feiyue opened her mouth to explain, "Mu Tejin, whose name is Mu Lin, is famous for his erudition. However, this person is not good at being an official, and likes to travel to all sides, so Emperor Yan sealed the official position of 'special advancement', and will only summon him when he needs Tingce. To put it simply, he is a clever outlier who acts as a think tank for the imperial court. ”

"Oh......" Lu Chaotian looked at Qian Feiyue with admiration, "Girl, you know so much. ”

Qian Crimson's face was faint, these things had been sealed in her mind for many years, but when she opened it again, it was so clear. She thought she had forgotten, which was ironic. Those who want to forget are often the ones who remember the most.

"Then what is Liu Zhaoyun going to do when he approaches Mu Tejin?" In Mingqiu's mind, he knew almost nothing about this.

"It should be Quan." Leng Qinglian doesn't know about officialdom, but she knows that most people in this world, especially men, want to pursue power and money.

Lu Chaotian showed an admiring look: "Sister Lian is amazing." But this Liu Zhaoyun has a big heart, and he wants more......"
