The little official led Wei Chen through the instrument door, through the lobby, all the way to the second hall.

There were already three people sitting in the hall, and the one sitting in the middle was the county magistrate, Feng Jing, on the left hand side was the county Cheng, and on the right hand side was the county school teaching.

There were also three people standing in the hall.

One is a little older, still wearing a shirt, and should be a county school student, and the other is a champion apprentice he has seen before, Wang Yaochen.

In addition, there is also a dignified-looking and thin young man, who is tied to Wang Yaochen, and probably like Wang Yaochen, he is a student who is favored by Feng Zhixian.

Wei Chen respectfully saluted the three Shangguan, and then stood with Wang Yaochen and the young man.

Feng Zhixian smiled and said: "I called a few of you young Junyan today, firstly, to ask Yuan Yong to be your guarantor, and secondly, to let you get acquainted with each other." Several of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, and they will be the pillars of Zhou for me in the future, and they will be close to each other in the future. ”

The county respected the speak, and several people did not dare to disobey, and they took the lead at the moment.

He was twenty-two years old, Wang Yaochen was fifteen years old, and the other boy was also fifteen years old, only four years older than Wei Chen.

Di Sheng arched his hand and said: "In Xia Wu Yan, the table character is used, and I have seen three of them." ”

Wang Yaochen also said: "Senior brother is polite, under Wang Yaochen, the cursive word Boyong, I have seen senior brother and younger brother." ”

The dignified-looking young man also bowed down and saluted: "Under the long cypress, the cursive words are sincere, and I have seen the senior brother and the younger brother." ”

The young man smiled heartily at a few people, but Wei Chen looked at him blankly as if he had been shocked, almost stunned on the spot.

Blanch?

Is he also taking the county exam this year?

Although Wei Chen had a lot of surprises and doubts in his heart, after all, it was not rude to be rude to only a few Shangguan here, so he quickly adjusted his mood and introduced himself politely and thoughtfully like the previous few people.

"In Xia Weichen, the division commander has not yet given the table, and I have seen three senior brothers."

After several people greeted each other, Wu Yan signed and sealed the back of the exam badges of the three candidates, officially becoming the guarantor of the three juniors.

After finishing this, Feng Zhixian told the three: "The fifteenth day of this month is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and this official is ordered to hold a county test on that day. ”

Then he encouraged the three teenagers who participated in the county examination, and told them to concentrate on their studies and not to be careless.

Seeing that the county respected the conclusion, everyone also got up and retired with interest, Feng Zhixian nodded his beard, and only left Wu Yan to speak.

At this point, Weichen's county trial registration tour is officially over.

In fact, according to the principle that the yamen must collect money to do things, the registration for the county examination is to pay 100 yuan of regular money, but these three candidates are all potential stocks in the eyes of the county, of course, all fees are free.

Wei Chen and the rest of the people walked out of the county office, Wang Yaochen said in a light tone: "I have already booked the inn, so I won't say anything more to you, go first." ”

With that, he hurriedly turned around and left.

So arrogant?

Wei Chen couldn't help pouting, but he didn't care too much.

After Wang Yaochen left, only Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai were left.

Sheng Changbai looked at Wei Chen, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly recited: "Insist that Qingshan will not relax, and the roots are in the broken rocks." Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind blows from east to west, north and south.

I heard my father and uncle say that Aunt Wei had a great name in the same sect, and she wrote a poem "Bamboo and Stone" at the age of ten, which attracted Jiangnan students to copy it. When I saw it today, it was really handsome and smart, and it was extraordinary! ”

Wei Chen said with a smile: "Brother Sheng is really ashamed of me when he says this, you have studied the scriptures since you were a child, your family has a history, and the county is praising your talent, this is the real young hero!" ”

The two praised each other, both looked at each other and smiled, and felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

When Sheng Changbai was in Yangzhou, he had heard of the name of Weichen.

One day, when Sheng Hong was teaching his son, he suddenly took out a poem "Bamboo and Stone" and asked Sheng Changbai to read it.

After Sheng Changbai finished reading it, he immediately applauded: this poem is swaying, sonorous and powerful, and the spirit of a gentleman jumps on the paper!

Sheng Changbai only felt that the meaning of the poem was very consistent with his own ambitions, and he couldn't put down this "Bamboo and Stone", so he immediately asked Sheng Hong who made this poem.

Only after this question did I know that the author of this poem was not a poet, nor was he a well-educated Confucian, but a Mengtong who was a few years younger than himself, and this Mengtong also had some connections with the Sheng family.

Since that day, Sheng Changbai has been deeply curious about the name Weichen.

This time, Sheng Changbai returned to his hometown Youyang, in addition to the top priority of participating in the county examination, another thing that must be done is to visit Wei Chen and see the true face of this legendary prodigy.

Today in the county office, Sheng Changbai finally got what he wanted, met Wei Chen, and felt that this son was really extraordinary, and Sheng Changbai had the intention of making friends when he was on the board.

On the other side, Wei Chen looked at Sheng Changbai, and his eyes were straight.

Sheng Changbai wants to get acquainted with Wei Chen, why doesn't Wei Chen want to get acquainted with Sheng Changbai?

This is the talent of Zaifu who has entered the cabinet twice in the future!

Wei Chen is not a person who is scheming and planning, but when the opportunity is in front of him, he will never let it go.

What's more, Sheng Changbai is well-behaved, righteous, and a true gentleman, and making friends with such a person, Wei Chen can't ask for it.

Wei Chen immediately warmly invited: "Brother Sheng, meeting is fate, it's not far from the cold house, can you have a light meal?" ”

Sheng Changbai naturally would not refuse, and generously agreed.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

When the two returned to Wei Chen's house together, it was already dark.

Wei Ruyi was cooking in the kitchen, and when she saw Wei Chen coming back, she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and said with a smile: "Brother Chen is back?" Hey, who is the boy next to you? ”

"Auntie, this is the second son of the Yangzhou Shengtong family."

Wei Ruyi was surprised: "It turned out to be Brother Bai'er, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have grown so big!" ”

Sheng Changbai respectfully gave a salute: "Junior Sheng Changbai, I have seen my aunt." ”

"Oops, how does this work!"

Wei Ruyi was flattered, and hurriedly helped Sheng Changbai up, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, let's eat dinner at home today, and the slave family will prepare more meals." ”

"Thank you."

Sheng Changbai was obviously that kind of restrained character, and when he saw Wei Ruyi smiling at him, his face turned red for a while.

Wei Chen saw his embarrassment, so he pulled him and walked to the second floor of the small building.

The attic on the second floor is Wei Chen's bedroom and study, although the sparrows are small, they are all complete, Wei Ruyi will come in every day to clean, and the room is spotless inside and out.

However, in the eyes of Sheng Changbai, a son from a family, Wei Chen's small building is inevitably a little shabby.

Sheng Changbai frowned and said: "I didn't expect that Brother Xian's family is so poor, although my family background is much better than Brother Xian's, but my knowledge is much worse, I'm really ashamed." ”

Wei Chen heard Sheng Changbai say that his family was poor, and he almost didn't laugh.

It seems that Sheng Wei, the old fox, has covered his business with him tightly enough, and he probably only told Sheng Hong, and even Sheng Changbai, his own nephew, didn't know.

Wei Chen is poor?

Poor fart!

At the end of last year, the winery distributed a dividend of 12,000 taels of silver, and now it is still buried in the backyard!

As long as Wei Chen wants, he can change a set of three-entry mansions in minutes.

It's just that Wei Chen and the Zhang family enjoy the fireworks in this small courtyard very much, and they have feelings after living for a long time, and they are reluctant to move out, so they have been living here.

Wei Chen smiled and beckoned Sheng Changbai to sit down, and pulled out a jar of wine from the corner of the room.

Sheng Changbai frowned slightly, and persuaded politely: "Brother Xian, you are still young, and drinking hurts your body!" ”

"Brother, this is fruit wine, it's not strong, it's okay to drink a few glasses."

As Wei Chen spoke, he slapped the seal on the wine jar, and in an instant, the entire attic was filled with the sweet aroma of wine.

Sheng Changbai smelled the aroma of wine, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sweet but not greasy, mellow and fragrant, this is amber wine!"
