The two of them wandered along the street at will, and the occasional glance from passers-by was swept by idlers, but it did not attract much attention.

Su Rong went out with a curtain fence, although it was tightly covered, but it would not make people feel strange in the capital, after all, there are many young ladies who also wear hats or curtain fences when they go out, so as not to be bumped into their appearance, and even more, such as Duanhua County Lord and others, although she does not wear curtain fences or hats, but every time she goes out on the street, she will be followed by a large number of guards, which is eye-catching.

After walking a street, passing by a restaurant, I saw this restaurant coming and going from the outside, there were people inside, it seemed to be very hot, Feng Ling couldn't move his legs, "Master, there are a lot of guests in this restaurant, the food must be delicious."

Su Rong's eyes fell on the plaque of the restaurant, and the three big characters of the champion building caught her eye, and she smiled, "It's not necessarily delicious, but the good reputation is very attractive."

Feng Ling also saw the plaque at this time, "Shall we have dinner here tonight?"

Su Rong nodded, "Okay."

So, the two entered the champion building.

The young man who greeted the guests at the door saw the two of them, arched his hands and said kindly, "Sorry two distinguished guests, there are no seats in the building, do you two see that you two are waiting, or go to another house?"

Feng Lingjing made his own decision, "Wait."

Su Rong didn't have an opinion, "Let's just stand here and wait?"

The young man hurriedly said, "If you two are willing to wait, please come with the little one, there is a low stool in front of the counter in the door, so that you two can rest for a while."

Hearing this, Su Rong stepped into the threshold, followed the young man's guidance, and saw a row of low stools at a glance, as well as a row of people waiting on the low stools, and the last two low stools were empty, just for her and Feng Ling to sit on.

Su Rong smiled and asked the young man, "Little Second Brother, is this Zhuangyuan Building so popular every day?"

The young man replied with a smile: "Every three years, the three months before and after the scientific expedition are like this, and it is better in normal times. But there are also a lot of guests, and our champion building is not famous for the good meaning of the champion, but for the good private dishes."

The young man was not surprised that Su Rong asked this, because most of the outsiders who came to catch the exam would be shocked by this lively scene, and he answered such a question, not a thousand, but eight hundred.

Su Rong nodded, and together with Feng Ling, sat on the low stool.

As they sat down, the people waiting in front of them cast their eyes on them.

Su Rong turned her head to look, there were eight people in front of them, all of them were young men, she looked away, and looked at the restaurant full of people, and found that most of them were men, only three or two women.

She thought to herself, it is worthy of the champion building, about these people who eat, most of them are students who are rushing to take the exam, asking for a good meaning.

A young man next to Feng Ling arched his hand, "In Xiachuan West Zhao Shu, dare to ask Brother Taigao's surname? But you're also coming to Beijing to take the exam?"

Feng Ling turned around and arched his hand when he heard this, "It turned out to be Brother Zhao, Jiu Yang, in Fengling, Xiajiang Prefecture, this year, I will not end this year, I will accompany my sister to visit friends in Beijing, and I will come in to eat a table when I see the excitement of this champion building."

Zhao Shu was surprised, "The surname Brother Tai is rare, you are from Jiangzhou, can you know Su Xingze?"

Feng Ling blinked, "There was a one-sided relationship."

Zhao Shu immediately asked, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of daring to ask Brother Ren, is this Su Xing really as talented as rumored?"

"Hmm." Feng Ling nodded, "In our Jiangzhou, everyone knows his talent, and his poetry manuscripts are hard to find."

This is mainly because his master sold the eldest son's poems in those years, from the beginning of fifty taels of silver, the price rose to several hundred taels of silver, and later the eldest prince found out that his poems were exposed, so he strictly stopped the master's behavior of selling his brother's poems to make money, and then did not allow his poems to flow out, so that in the past two years, his poems have been fried to a thousand gold, but even at this price, they can't buy it.

Similarly, Jiang Xing's original talent was not obvious, but because he was hyped by his master's selling poetry manuscripts, he didn't want his poetry manuscripts to make the master unable to make any money, so he studied hard, made articles hard, and wrote poems well, so that good people have good rewards, and now, he has become a talented man in Jiangzhou second only to Su Xingze.

Hearing this, Zhao Shu turned his head to look at the side, "Brother Lu

, It seems that the rumors are credible, and this Su Xing is really your fierce rival for winning the gold list."

As soon as Feng Ling heard that the good guy was good, his rivals came out, and he immediately looked at the man beside Zhao Shu.

Su Rong also followed Feng Ling's gaze, and saw that the young man beside Zhao Shu looked pretty good, although it was not amazing at a glance, but he was also a beautiful son with a very outstanding appearance.

Zhao Shu hurriedly introduced the two, "This is Brother Lu Fengyan Lu, and he is a talented man in western Sichuan."

Feng Ling suddenly arched his hand, "It turned out to be Brother Lu, I have been looking up for a long time."

Compared with Zhao Shu, he said one more long-term admiration. Lu Fengyan's name is rumored in the capital these days, and all major gambling houses have started to bet, and one-third of them bet on Lu Fengyan.

Lu Fengyan has been quietly watching from the side, and now when he saw Zhao Shu introduce himself, he gave up, "In Xia Lu Fengyan, I have always heard of Jiangzhou Su Xingzhi, but I have been in Beijing for more than a month, but I have never seen that benevolent brother, and my friends and I have always been very curious."

Feng Ling smiled: "We don't go all the way with him, but we don't know that he has been closed since he came to Beijing?"

"I'm said to have come out once." Lu Fengyan was very concerned about Su Xingze's news, after all, he was the same person as him who was regarded as the opponent of the Golden Autumn Scientific Expedition by everyone, and if he wanted to know himself and his opponent, he naturally wanted to inquire about his news, "A few days ago, he went to Juxian Building, accompanied by the Duke of Huguo Mansion Zhou Zhou and Ruian Mansion Xie Xiaowangye, had a meal in the private room, and left in a low-key manner, after he left, I waited until I knew that he had come. Later, it was said that he lived in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Officials and never went out again, so he was really low-key."

Zhao Shu sighed with itching, "We asked a lot of people, and they all said that they didn't know Su Xingze, and the students in Jiangzhou didn't know what was going on, it is said that after coming to Beijing, they rented a courtyard in the south of the city together, and they were all bored in the courtyard to study and prepare for exams, and they didn't go out to make friends with people, we couldn't even see the people in Jiangzhou, and I was honored to meet you two Jiangzhou people today."

Feng Ling smiled secretly in her heart, "That's it!"

The students in Jiangzhou are very smart, and they know that Jiangzhou is concerned because of the turmoil of the Jiang family, so they all prepare for the exam together in a low-key group, and they can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles without going out or publicity.

Zhao Shu nodded, "Yes, I don't know what happened to this Su Xingze and the students in Jiangzhou? I asked the shopkeeper and said that the students from all over the world in the past have made friends with each other and exchanged knowledge, and there is no place where the students are like the Jiangzhou students in this year, and they can't see anyone."

Su Rong thought to himself, that's because the students in Jiangzhou all knew his brother, and his brother accompanied Zhou Gu to meet friends in those days, and all the students in Jiangzhou who had a little reputation were all seen and befriended by Zhou Gu, and they all knew in their hearts, with the fall of Jiang Sheng, the students in Jiangzhou, as long as Jin Qiu was on the list, would basically join the East Palace faction, the prince cherished talents and loved talents, had the heart to collect talents, had a good reputation, and was the orthodoxy of the prince. Therefore, the road ahead has been paved, so naturally there is no need to make friends everywhere, just concentrate on preparing for the exam, and it is enough to get a good score in the golden autumn. As for making friends, unless necessary, they will only make friends with people from the East Palace faction after the scientific expedition.

But such an inside story will naturally not be known to outsiders, so it has caused a strange phenomenon that the students in Jiangzhou are different from the students in other places.

Feng Ling also thought of this, and said with a smile, "Brother Tai, don't worry, I'll see you sooner or later."

Zhao Shu nodded, people closed their doors, even if they were curious, it was useless to be anxious.

While speaking, there were already guests in front of him who had already checked out and went out, and several tables were vacated at once.

It was Lu Fengyan and Zhao Shu's turn, but there was no place for Feng Ling and Su Rong, and they had to wait a little longer, Zhao Shu stood up and asked, "Brother Feng, why don't you share a table with Sister Ling and me with Brother Lu?" so as not to wait any longer."

Feng Ling was embarrassed, "Is this appropriate? Will it disturb the two brothers?"

"Don't bother, it's just two of us anyway, and we're only four of us together." Zhao Shu is outgoing and invites, "Huh? Brother Lu, what do you say?"

Lu Fengyan nodded, "The two of you are together, right?"

Feng Ling looked at Su Rong inquiringly, Su Rong nodded, and Feng Ling agreed, "Then thank you two brothers."

So, a group of four people walked to the empty table together

Sit down.

Feng Ling was able to eat early, so he naturally behaved more generously, "Two brothers, my sister and I invite you to this meal, we have enough silver, you just need to order."

Zhao Shu hurriedly said, "How can this be done?"

Lu Fengyan also shook his head, "Brother Feng is polite, it's still our ......."

"Huh?" Feng Ling stopped them, "We will stay in the capital for a while, and we may have the opportunity to meet again in the future and make friends, and next time the two brothers will invite me and my sister."

"This ......" Zhao Shu and Lu Fengyan were blocked for a while.

Su Rong smiled and said, "That's it! You're welcome."
