Chapter 222: Means
Yuan Mu is a cultivator, a cultivator of Xiliang.
He was born in the Western Liang aristocracy, because his father studied in the Great Zhou when he was young and admired the Great Zhou culture very much, so their children learned the culture of the Great Zhou since childhood, so he could understand the meaning of the words of this young man who came down.
In short, it was the teenager who was scolding him.
Yuan Mu narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man who had walked in front of him.
He noticed that since the appearance of this young man, the atmosphere of the entire space had changed, and the other people around him were all staring at him with trusting eyes, and their faces were free of the anxiety and anger they had before.
Whether it was the red-faced person who was provoked by him just now, or the person who was frightened by the tragic situation of the young man in Tsing Yi, the person who pointed at him became calm after this young man appeared.
The people who were still looking at themselves all looked at that person.
It's an indescribable, absolute trust.
Or prestige.
Duan Lizheng walked in front of Yuan Mu and bowed, his voice calm.
"Tiance Upper Courtyard Mei Yuan, Tiance Sergeant Duan Lizheng, was invited."
Tiance Upper House! Sergeant Tiance!
As soon as Duan Lizheng's words came out, everyone was shocked.
The people of Huizhou, who had always thought that they knew everything about Duan Ergongzi's affairs, also opened their mouths in surprise.
Duan Lizheng is a student of Tiance Academy, which is something that everyone in Huizhou knows.
At the beginning, Duan Lizheng knocked on the door of Tiance Academy with the identity of the two chiefs of the civil and military affairs of Ziyang Academy and the head of the county trial, but like all the talents of the non-royal clan, he entered the lower courtyard of Tiance.
Only the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who are exceptionally outstanding or have made great contributions, may be promoted to the Tiance Upper Yuan, which specializes in cultivating the royal family and the clan.
Although everyone speculated that Duan Lizheng would one day enter the Tiance Upper Court, just like his brother Duan Haochu.
But no one thought that Duan Lizheng, who had not yet participated in the township examination and had only been in the Tiance Lower Courtyard for two years, had actually entered the Tiance Upper Courtyard!
And it is also the most popular Mei Yuan among the three remaining branches of Tiance Upper Court!
"That guy Li Zheng, when did he go from the lower courtyard of Tiance to the upper courtyard of Tiance?" In the Tianzi Pavilion, Situ Gaoyi asked with a shocked face.
"It didn't take long," Duan Haochu said with a smile, "before leaving the Divine Capital with Princess Jinyang." ”
Situ Gaoyi bit his lip.
He and Duan Lizheng were in the same year, and they had always targeted him, because Duan Lizheng was the chief of Ziyang Academy, he would no longer enter Ziyang Academy, and he would enter the Ancient Academy in the second instance to become the chief.
Even if he has the ability to participate in the county examination at his level, because Duan Lizheng is the head of the county examination, he has been preparing until now, and he has to take the first case.
He has already made contact with Tiance Academy, and if he gets the first case in this county examination, he can get the qualification to enter the Tiance Academy.
He thought that he had finally taken another step closer to Duan Lizheng, but he didn't expect that Duan Lizheng had already reached a higher place.
"After two years in the lower courtyard of Tiance, he was promoted to the upper courtyard of Tiance, and the speed of the second son can be regarded as the fastest in history." Hong Shan sighed on the side.
Even Duan Haochu, it took three years to enter the upper courtyard from the lower court.
What's more, Duan Lizheng was promoted from both the civil and military academies at the same time.
Princess Jinyang shook her head lightly on the side.
"What's the matter, girl, did I say something wrong?" Hong Shan noticed her movements and asked strangely.
Duan Haochu's face froze, and then he smiled slightly, "Two years is indeed not the fastest in history. He said.
"Huh? Is there anything shorter than two years? Hong Shan said in astonishment.
"The fastest promotion from the lower court of Tiance to the upper court of Tiance in history is ......," Princess Jinyang opened her mouth and was about to say that name.
"It's Uchiko." Duan Haochu smiled and spoke first.
Princess Jinyang choked on this title, and subconsciously glanced at Zhu Luan.
She was intently biting the snack in her hand, her head bowed, and with her now slender appearance, she looked delicate, but not slowly, and it didn't take long for only an empty plate to be left on the table in front of her.
Noticing her gaze, Zhu Luan raised his head and smiled at her, and then glanced at Duan Haochu with his eyes without temperature.
Princess Jinyang silently withdrew her gaze.
"Uchiko? Could it be Princess Yingluan? When Hong Shan heard Duan Haochu's words, he was even more surprised, "But Princess Yingluan's words shouldn't be directly entering the Tiance Upper Courtyard......"
The man's voice lowered, and he realized that he seemed to know some terrible royal secret.
"Back then, His Majesty Chengzong asked Princess Yingluan to hone her skills in the Tiance Lower Courtyard first," Duan Haochu said, "Half a year later, she was promoted to the Tiance Upper Court." The man explained with a smile.
"But Neiko's situation is more special," Duan Haochu said with a smile, "Except for Neiko, Li Zheng is indeed the fastest." ”
Everyone nodded knowingly.
There is an extremely high moat between the lower court of Tiance and the upper court of Tiance, and most people will not be able to obtain the qualification to enter the upper court of Tiance in their lifetime.
And downstairs, Yuan Mu is also very clear about this matter.
After hearing Duan Lizheng's self-report, the dark eyebrows of the Xiliang boy were twisted together.
"You are Duan Lizheng, the second son of Duan? You're now a member of the Upper House of Heaven? He asked in a gruff voice.
Duan Lizheng bowed, "Yes." ”
"Okay, would you like to make a bet with me?" The teenager continued.
Duan Lizheng bowed his head again, "Yes." ”
The boy took out the bulging bag full of gold again, "Okay, it's refreshing enough, I'll give you a thousand taels of gold, and bet on myself to win!" ”
Everyone took a breath of cool air.
In recent years, the exchange ratio of gold and silver has been about one to ten, which is equivalent to this Xiliang boy who bet 10,000 taels of silver on himself in one go!
"You Zhou people, I will definitely bet on you to win," Yuan Mu smiled triumphantly, "Even if you have to be drawn, as long as I win you, I can still get a lot of money." ”
"This Xiliang kid isn't that stupid," in the Tianzi Pavilion, Hong Shan said with a smile, "But he can't win, just give us a profit for nothing," he looked at the waiter in the corner of the house, picked up the wine glass he bet, and showed the bottom of the glass, "Bet on the second son of Tiance Academy, Duan Ergong, one thousand taels of silver." ”
"The seven nobles of Tianzi Pavilion bet on the second son of Tiance Academy, one thousand taels!" The sound of the musicians striking, and the singing of the waiters of the Tianzi Pavilion echoed in the building.
Everyone took a breath of cool air again, and Duan Lizheng's first bet at the beginning of the game actually started with one thousand taels.
As if reminded by this chanting, the sound of underground bets suddenly sounded one after another in the Twilight Cloud Tower, which was far more intense than every previous one, and the atmosphere in the venue instantly became steaming.
The waiters were busy reporting the notes, all of them screamed dryly, and their voices were hoarse at the end, and the windows of the boxes were crowded again, and countless little girls took out their private money, and the students of the various colleges were all talking excitedly.
The sound of betting sounded for a long time, and finally gradually stopped, on the high platform, the master of ceremonies looked at the accounting master to remember the thick bill, and began to sing the final bet, "Are there any other nobles who want to bet?" ”
"Duan Ergongzi's charm is still unstoppable," in the Tianzi Pavilion, Hong Shan shook his head, "This bet is finally over, I'm afraid there should be a ......"
Before he could finish his words, there was a crisp sound of porcelain colliding beside him.
Zhu Luan put down the teacup, took out the somewhat familiar wine glass from his arms, stood up and walked to the waiter in the corner of the room, and threw it into his arms.
"Bet on the second son of Duan of Tiance Academy," the girl paused, as if thinking about something.
Then she looked at the master of ceremonies and said.
"Ten thousand taels."
I want to talk about "Yingluan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
