Chapter 12: Hiding Your Identity

"Wait, who are you? Do you have any invitations from us? This restaurant is no ordinary place to entertain. ”

"This is the place where the daughter of General Xu held a banquet to entertain all the scholars."

A shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and stopped a few young people.

The man at the head was wearing an embroidered gold robe, and his bearing was quite extraordinary.

The man wore a tulle hat on his head, which covered his face so tightly that it was impossible to see the person's identity.

Behind the man were a few small servants, all of whom were fresh-faced, but they were quite well-dressed.

It seems that he should be from an extraordinary background.

The shopkeeper's eyes purred, and he saw one of the little guys come forward and was about to say something.

The shopkeeper immediately spoke.

"If you come to this meeting, go to the bookstore opposite the restaurant to get an invitation, and indicate your identity on the invitation, so that we can let you in."

And then there's this cumbersome rule.

Several people standing at the entrance of the lobby looked at each other, and the young man in the lead waved his hand to the people who followed behind him.

Seeing this, a little guy immediately bowed down and retreated.

The young man also gave way with a few of his other men, and waited patiently.

Xu Yingying leaned against the railing and looked at the visitors in the lobby boredly.

She didn't notice that her aunt, who had accompanied her to choose a marriage, had poured a packet of yellow and white powder into the teapot on the table while she wasn't looking.

At this time, in this private room, there were only Xu Yingying and her aunt.

The aunt shook the teapot to make sure that the medicinal powder had been dissolved in the tea, and she immediately held the teapot and walked in front of Xu Yingying.

She raised her hand and poured a cup of hot tea for Xu Yingying and brought it to Xu Yingying's lips.

Xu Yingying took the teacup, but did not drink the tea immediately, but played with the teacup while looking at the lobby on the first floor carelessly.

At the same time, inside a mouthful lobby.

Lin Ye's gaze quickly swept through the tulle over the people sitting in the lobby on the first floor.

Most of those people were simple young people, and they should all be from poor backgrounds.

This Xu Yingying is not picky, interesting.

Lin Ye's gaze moved up slightly and landed on the second floor.

He saw that the people sitting on the elegant seat in the cloister on the second floor were rich sons who were well-dressed, wearing crowns and hats, and beautiful jade on their waists, Lin Ye nodded secretly.

I don't know where the Xu Ying is hiding.

Lin Ye's gaze continued to move upwards and landed on the veil that fluttered on the corridor on the third floor.

Behind the veil, there was a figure in the shadows.

A breeze blew, and when the veil fluttered, a slender white jade hand poked out from the gap in the veil.

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the appearance of Xu Yingying when he saw Xu Yingying two years ago.

At that time, the girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was already heroic, like a goddess, and her temperament was cold and dusty.

Now I haven't seen her for two years, and I don't know how she is now.

"Childe ......"

The voice of the little guy sounded behind him.

The little guy has hurried back with the invitation,

Seeing this, Lin Ye nodded.

The little guy did not specify Lin Ye's identity, but borrowed the names of other sons of other families in the capital.

The son of the family who didn't recognize the shopkeeper didn't recognize, after taking the invitation and taking a cursory look, invited Lin Ye and the others into the lobby.

Just looking at the clothes of Lin Ye and the others, the shopkeeper can also judge that this son is a nobleman.

He consciously led people to the empty seats on the second floor to sit down, and the sons and brothers who were chatting with wine on the second floor noticed Lin Ye and turned their eyes to it.

Lin Ye sat on the seat, his posture was leisurely, and he had no intention of talking to everyone.

Xu Yingying, who was sitting on the third floor and was paying attention to Lin Ye's movements, frowned.

She didn't think this man's figure was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen this person for a moment.

The man still covered his face with a veil, and looked sneaky......

It won't be ...... It won't be ugly!

Xu Yingying's heart skipped a heavy beat.

She bit her red lip lightly, pondered for a while, and prepared to let people solve the question as soon as possible and sift out the person with the gauze hat out of the restaurant.

A maid received the order and hurriedly retreated.

Xu Yingying's aunt sat beside Xu Yingying, and saw Xu Yingying putting the tea cup with hot tea on the table, as if she had no intention of drinking tea.

A slight hot sweat broke out on the aunt's anxious forehead.

"Yingying, I've been watching here for a long time, and you feel dry mouth, drink a cup of hot tea."

"The tea aroma of this tea is quite strong, and it is a rare and excellent product!"

Xu Yingying shook her head and ignored her aunt.

Her gaze passed through the veil, still staying on Lin Ye's body.

At the same time, the maid who hurried to the lobby on the first floor also explained Xu Yingying's question.

"You have all read the books of the sages and have great talents, but you must know that if ordinary people want to soar and become famous, they must have facts to continue to help."

"If you don't get the opportunity, if you can't use your talents, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned.

The children of the family sitting on the second floor looked at each other, they never thought about what they would do if they didn't have the opportunity to soar in the future.

They have an extraordinary family background and have their own ancestral industry to support them, and when they reach the right age, the people of the clan will send them to the court as officials.

This question is not appropriate.

They couldn't think of the right answer.

The poor disciple sitting in the lobby on the first floor frowned and pondered carefully.

Someone seemed to remember something, slammed the table, and stood up.

"That's the impermanence of the world, what does it have to do with me? I will look for opportunities and seize them! ”

Xu Yingying sat on the third floor, listening to the young man's impassioned words.

She sighed silently and shook her head.

No, it wasn't the answer she wanted.

The exam questions she came up with were not nameless questions, but those Taifu of Taixue in Jingzhong to test the exam questions of the students in Taixue in the school.

Her father had asked her what she thought of the first question a few days earlier, but she didn't know how to answer it.

I thought that these students could give her a satisfactory answer, but where could she expect it......

"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon ......"

While everyone in the hall was quietly meditating, a voice suddenly sounded on the second floor.

When Xu Yingying heard this voice, she turned her head sharply and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

The young man in the gauze hat held the cup in his hand and shook it in her direction.

"I am born to be useful, and my wealth is gone...... Come back! ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone in the hall was stunned.

"Born ......"

"It will work!"

"Good poetry! What a poem! ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Don't be too attached to the world, talented people will not be buried."

"The pearl is covered with dust, and there will be a chance to shine in the future."

After Lin Ye said this, he put down the cup in his hand.

When everyone sitting in the restaurant heard this, they responded one after another, and applause rang out from the lobby on the first floor, and those poor students with real skills were quite touched by Lin Ye's words.
