Jinxia City, Drunken Green Building.

As the name suggests, this is one of the most prestigious green buildings in the city, and the visitors are either wealthy businessmen or children.

In a spacious box, a group of scholars are discussing the new policy of the Affairs Bureau with righteous and indignant indignation - those who can come here to gather are naturally not ordinary poor students, and they may be mediocre in terms of learning, but their family background is quite good, although they are not as rich and compelling as the prince of the Wang family, but they can also be regarded as brocade clothes and jade food, and the future is worry-free.

There is only one exception.

That is the talented man of Zhou who is regarded by them as a crested head, Zhou Sheng.

This person not only has a wealthy family, but also a first-class excellent, just crossed the threshold of eighteen years old, and has already passed the township examination, and won the title of lifter. In the spring of the following year, he will have to rush to Gyeonggi, where he will take the entrance examination, and once he is enthroned, he will be a tribute, and there is even the possibility of entering the palace examination further.

Even now, as a lifter, he is also a celebrity, and he can see that the county can have a separate seat. Coupled with a handsome face, who is not married in the city knows the name of Zhou Dacai.

It can be said that among his peers, the only one who can compete with him is the son of the Wang family. It's just that the attack on the city by the Haikou made the huge Wang family fall apart, and Zhou Sheng became a representative of young talents.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the girls are coming. ”

Amid the bustard's shouting, seven or eight women rushed in and skillfully sat beside each guest. These are the Qing people carefully cultivated by Zuiqinglou, who can not only play the piano and paint, but also appreciate the poetry and brocade, and are the most popular among readers. After the girl entered, the atmosphere in the wing room suddenly became much more lively.

However, everyone did not start to compete in talents, write poems with propositions, or come up with their own words and phrases for the girl to play and sing as usual, and everyone's topic was still focused on what the Secretariat had done recently.

"I can admit everything else, but don't you think those people are getting more and more excessive?" a man in a blue brocade robe and a hosta on his head drank a glass of wine and said indignantly, "What kind of bullshit reserve officials, who recognizes them as officials! The officials will enter them into the roster? The household department will distribute the money? I think they are making a fuss there!"

Chen Gongzi said yes. Another pot-bellied young man immediately responded, "I think it's a servant to death, or the least popular kind!"

"But that's not what they advertise," some people expressed concern, "After passing the examination and being selected for the main election, you will be able to get a document certificate from Her Royal Highness the princess herself, but it is just the words of the officials...... That's too much fuss, isn't it?"

"Could it be that the Secretariat is making its own decisions, or is it ...... Are you just trying to fool the people?"

"I agree! How could Her Highness allow such a child's play!"

"Ladies and gentlemen...... "Ladies and gentlemen," a Qingqi man took the initiative to interject, "what are you arguing about?

"Yes, yes, Yan'er asked well, and the slave family also wanted to know. ”

"You don't have many opportunities to go out, so it's not surprising that you have this doubt. Zhou Sheng, who had been silent, said at this time, "Everything has to start with the new policy promulgated by the Bureau. ”

As soon as he spoke, the discussion in the room suddenly subsided a lot, and everyone focused on the great talent. The same is true for the girls, who can intersect with Jin Xia's famous readers, and it is also a talking point for them to improve their value.

Zhou Sheng enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, but his eyes were more focused on a woman named Liu Ruyan opposite.

It can be said that one of the main reasons why he came to Zuiqinglou was to meet the girl Ruyan.

The other Qingqi people are just deliberately wrapped goods, and the essence is the same as these sons and brothers around them - qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all used to decorate the façade, one is to make themselves comb and sell higher, and the other is to make themselves look less superficial, or to block the reprimands of their parents.

But Liu Ruyan is not.

She is a rare gifted woman in this green building, and whenever everyone recites poetry against her, only her evaluation is not based on the script, or deliberately flattering. Zhou Sheng can feel that she is the same kind of person as herself, she knows what the beauty of words is, and when faced with a good poem, that smile is praise from the bottom of her heart.

"As far as I know, now that the first registrations have begun, it is clear that the Secretariat is not treating this joking new deal as a joke. Zhou Dacai shrugged after saying what happened succinctly, "Probably they think that they are the real Jinxia Mansion." ”

There was a burst of snickering.

"Haha, that's true...... Novelty. Yan'er couldn't help but laugh and said, "As long as you are literate, you are eligible to sign up?

"Sister Yan'er wants to be an official, an escort officer?" someone quipped.

She smiled, "It's not up to you to decide. ”

Everyone laughed again.

"In short, this is all the ghost of the person named Xia Fan. Chen Gongzi slapped the table and said, "The so-called bureau is just a trick made up by the Privy Council to expand its influence! I have checked his details, a few months ago he was just an ordinary alchemist, just like Wei Wushuang, he was good for nothing but being able to feel qi. What is the difference between such a person intervening in the affairs of Jinxia City and the deliberations of the court?"

"Then again...... It seemed like Wei Wushuang hadn't come to us for a drink in a long time. ”

"Hmph, hug your new thighs. Obviously, I used to think of ways to pay for us to drink, but it depends on whether we are happy to go or not. ”

"The son of a merchant really can't be on the table. ”

"Leave the Wei family alone, as long as you are literate, you can be a reserve official, this is a joke. Someone disagreed, saying, "I'm worried about something else." ”

"What?"

"Open a school. The man frowned and said, "God knows how much oil and water Xia Fan got from the Wang family, if they really let them teach a group of people, wouldn't the scientific examination in three years be taken up by this person's disciples?"

"Don't worry. He can't make it. Zhou Dacai said confidently.

"Oh? Could it be that Zhou Gongzi has already taken all the actions?"

"It's not an action, it's just a hello to the private schools and teachers around me. He looked around, "Not only Jinxia City, but even the surrounding counties and towns, there will not be a single person to be a master." Without a master, who will teach the school? Is it up to Xia Fan alone?"

Although the status of the lifter is quite high, it has not reached the point of such a one-time response, obviously Zhou Sheng used his own connections and the influence of the teacher.

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed a happy expression.

"Hahaha...... Master Xia teaches by himself, can he explain the Four Books and the Five Classics clearly?"

"is worthy of being a talented man of Zhou, and he can make the other party disgraced without moving. ”

"When there is no one to teach, I will see how the Secretariat steps down!"

After the party, it is time to enjoy yourself, if you haven't had enough, you can go upstairs to open a separate room, find a red person to continue to have fun, and if you have had enough, you will go home. Zhou Sheng stopped Liu Ruyan alone before the girls left, "I wonder if Miss Liu can borrow a word?"
