The sky was bright, and you could see a layer of white frost on the ground, and the maple trees on the mountain were already red, which was beautiful from a distance.

Dong Rong was too strong to drink, he drank less last night, and several people came back to sleep early.

This would get up and wash up and find that Gu Si was not there, he finished his breakfast by himself, and read the book for a while, only to see Gu Si coming in from the gate of the courtyard.

"Gu Si, where did you go early in the morning?" Dong Rong accepted the book and asked.

Gu Si replied: "After you came back last night, Fourth Master, dozens of officials trotted away and surrounded the Xueguan Mansion. ”

Dong Rong's face was full of disbelief: "You mean, all the people who went to the private banquet of the academic officials last night were arrested?" ”

Gu Si nodded, "The little one hasn't come back, just to wait for the government's handling news, more than 100 people have been released this morning, but they are not allowed to participate in next year's examination, and they must wait for another three years." ”

Gu Si replied, "Fourth Master, please rest assured, it's okay if we don't go, and the small matter of going to the capital has been arranged, and we can leave today!" ”

Dong Rong had palpitations.

Who would have thought that there were some low-quality literati who drank and had fun in public, and called a geisha to accompany them.

Four or five literati went to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion to gather, which was considered elegant.

But there are more than 100 literati here, dozens of dusty women, and young men to accompany them, which is equivalent to gathering a crowd of people, which is simply insulting the reputation of literati scholars.

is just a person, and he dares to openly insult Sven, if he becomes a Jinshi Gongshi, will the entire Great Liang Country still be saved?

Therefore, the governor ordered that all the people be arrested.

However, these lifters did not make any big mistakes in the end, and they were detained for two days and then released, but they were punished and not allowed to participate in the examination in February next year, which is a very serious punishment.

Three years and three years, how many three years can there be in life.

Fortunately, they were not implicated, otherwise they didn't know how big a blow Qian Wen and Cai Yong would have suffered.

"You've worked hard, hurry back to your room to eat."

After Gu Si finished breakfast, the two began to pack their luggage and rush to the capital.

Nanzhou Province is located in the boundary of neither south nor north, far away from the capital, by land, all the way slowly, it takes more than 20 days to arrive.

The two basically got up before dawn and hurried, and only rested at the post station at night, because the carriage had the marks of the government, and the road was quite peaceful.

However, there were many students who went to Beijing to take the exam and asked to go along, Dong Rong naturally would not refuse, and the convoy became stronger and stronger, so they hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven twenty days later.

Dong Rong got out of the carriage and moved his muscles and exclaimed: "I thought that Fucheng was prosperous before, but I didn't expect that the capital was more prosperous than Fucheng, and the people walking on the road were all wearing silk and satin, and there were so many rich people." ”

The student who was traveling next to him answered: "Otherwise, how could anyone say that in the capital, if a plaque is smashed down, two officials can be stoned to death." ”

After speaking, he naturally hugged Dong Rong's shoulders: "When we get to your territory, we have to rely on you to cover us." ”

Walking together for nearly twenty days, there was no other entertainment on the road, and sitting in the carriage talking all day long led to the relationship between several people growing by leaps and bounds, coupled with the selfishness of that person, the relationship between the two became even closer.

Dong Rong took the group to the county lord's mansion, and in the capital, the Rongchang county lord's mansion would know about it casually.

The streets of the county lord's mansion are relatively clean, and only occasionally a delicate carriage stops, and the nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes are surrounded into the mansion.

Walking on this street, people will unconsciously quiet down and dare not speak loudly.

Qian Wen appeared on this street with a scholar, they arrived in the capital a few days earlier, and they have been looking for opportunities.

He spent a lot of money and walked a lot of ways, only then did he find out that the third princess was recruiting staff, so he wanted to come over to try his luck.

"Young Master, look!" The scholar of the Qian family pointed to the mansion not far away, "Isn't that Young Master Dong?" ”

Qian Wen looked, and sure enough, he saw Dong Rong striding into a huge mansion with a group of people.

His gaze slowly moved upwards and saw the words "Rongchang County Lord's Mansion".

After coming to the capital for so long, if he didn't know what the Rongchang County Lord's Mansion meant, he would have lived in vain for so many years.

"No wonder Young Master Dong is not close to us, it turns out that the status of the Lord of Rongchang in the capital is so high!"

The scholar said indignantly: "We are all from the same town, he doesn't take care of it, he actually befriends others, it's really not a hometown at all!" ”

"Alright, you don't have to say a few words." Qian Wen said coldly, "Since you know that his identity is valuable, you will be polite when you see him in the future." ”

Although he takes into account the identity of his county master, it does not mean that Qian Wen is willing to be crushed.

He looked up in the direction of the princess's mansion: "Let's go." ”

If he had hesitated to have a relationship with the third princess before, then after seeing Dong Rong enter the county lord's mansion, his heart was firm.

Dong Rong led people into the county lord's mansion, and Mama Li and the subordinates of the whole mansion were waiting at the door to greet them.

Zhu Han, as the uncle of the county lord's mansion, naturally could not greet him in person.

"The fourth master is good!" The neat and uniform salute greetings are full of momentum, and the steps of the students who met on the way to see are a little weak.

They thought that the county lord from the people should be similar to them, but they didn't expect that as soon as they entered the door, they were stopped by the momentum of a room of people.

Mama Li took the maidservant girl forward to take the salute in Gu Si's hand, and asked the rest of the students to take the rest of the students to the living room, and she took Dong Rong to the main hall to meet Zhu Han, the uncle.

Dong Rong personally gave Zhu Han tea and asked for peace, but there were not so many courtesies under the same roof.

Zhu Han took a sip of tea and said lightly: "The county lord went out with the second princess and hasn't come back yet." These days, the county lord is busy promoting investment in the commercial city, I am afraid that I will not have time to see you, you can walk around the capital by yourself, or you can study at home. ”

Dong Rong nodded, he was a little disappointed that he hadn't seen Gu Qing for the first time, but when he thought that he would stay in the capital, he felt that the future was full of hope.

"How many days has the county lord been in Beijing?" Dong Rong asked.

"Five days earlier than you, the county lord came on horseback, naturally faster!" Zhu Han stood up and said, "I'll take you to see your yard, the county lord's mansion is relatively large, we have one courtyard for each person, and all the books you will use for your clothes have been arranged!" ”

"There's Brother Lao Zhu!" Dong Rong followed behind Zhu Han, the county lord's mansion was very large, larger than the county lord's mansion in Gujia Village, and the pavilions and water pavilions showed the nobility of the county lord's mansion.

Zhu Han led him into the courtyard and went straight to the study, where there was a gift box on the desk.

At Zhu Han's signal, Dong Rong opened the box, and inside was a high-grade wolf made of pure gold.

"What is this?" Dong Rong was a little dumbfounded, only Gu Qing could be so inhumane.

Zhu Han tasted a little: "This is specially prepared for you by the county lord, and it is a good omen for the title of the gold list!" ”

Dong Rong looked at the golden pen in a daze, and Zhu Han didn't stay long, and left directly.
