The once prosperous Shangqing Guan Scholars Banquet has indeed become a dusty memory for many people, so that when Du Tao and Li Yu were the first to receive the invitation from Yingyang Zhenren, they were a little stunned, not to mention the young scholars now, most of them only heard about the grand event from the mouths of the elders, and had no chance to participate in it, so when they received the sudden invitation, they were extremely excited for a while.

Although Yingyang Zhenren agreed to the banquet, but there was really not much leisure to organize, it was to entrust all the trivial matters to Du and Li's two close friends, so Li Yu's fellow disciple Chai Qu was naturally among the invitees, he was living in the British Mansion at this time, and he would not leave Xu Xiu Neng behind anyway, this day was with Xu Xiu Neng, but unlike the vast majority of guests, Chai Qu looked really a little excited.

He was in response to the Wannian county exam, originally full of ambition for the top position, before the exam, I heard that Wang Ningzhi and Xue Luli happened to be out of the field this year, but he missed him, Chai Duo only felt very sorry, if he could beat these two in the county exam, the provincial exam next year will not only be the first, but even the competition for the top has great expectations.

But I didn't expect that even if I didn't meet the two talents, Chai took the first place in the county test as he wished, and the county test in addition to the top of the list, and will not rank the rest of the rankings, this year, Wannian County tried to win a total of 33 people, except for Gao Yajun, the remaining 32 people are undoubtedly all located in the same level of the county, which makes the conceited talent of Shibatori disappointed.

What's more, just after the county test, Gao Yajun was disgraced by the defeat incident, which made Chai Tori more and more indignant, if he lost to the talented person, but lost under a wasteful hand, as the top of the list, Gao Yajun actually defeated the Zhou envoy's subordinates, which was the humiliation of all the county soldiers of Wannian in the fifth year of Lixin.

Therefore, these days, Chai Tori actually ignored the upcoming test, often used wine to drown his sorrows, and only expressed his frustration to his "friend" Xu Xiuneng, and even revealed his intention to simply give up next autumn to compete for the top spot again this year, but Xu Xiuneng, a noble son, sneered.

It's just a slight setback, it's so unbearable, if you are really talented, why not fight with Xue Luli and Wang Ningzhi at the first level of the test, as long as you can get Xie Yuan, who will be despised? Xu Xiuneng really thinks that this year's coincidence, the rules of the field that have lasted for many years are hopefully broken, which is really a good opportunity to prove that he is really talented and learns, if he is in a situation with Chai Tori, he will simply find Dongying Sijie to challenge, even if he loses, he can still show the backbone of Zhou, Gao Yajun is certainly embarrassed this time, but he finally dares to fight, at least better than Chai Tori, who dare not come forward, and complain about the world's wind and slander others is useless so-called high-ranking people.

If you only talk about fighting alone, in fact, Xu Xiuneng is not afraid of the four heroes of Dongying, but he is really not sure if he wants to connect poems with others.

For example, if you are in a couplet with Shibatori, it is very likely to fail, not because Xu Xiu can be conceited and think that Shibatori is useless, but how can two people who are far from each other in terms of mental knowledge cooperate to produce a wonderful poem?

Xu Xiuneng is also in response to the Wannian County test this year, but he did not expect to win the top spot, not to mention the provincial test, there are opponents like Wang Qi Xue Liu, who can be lucky for the same year, and in Xu Xiuneng's understanding, he even thinks that Jinshi is inherently ill, and the poetry is done well, which does not mean that it is suitable for officialdom, this is just a good foundation, even if it is not a good foundation, as long as it is carefully managed in the future, it is not without the opportunity to be a minister, in fact, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although the prime minister is mostly from Jinshi, However, if you really want to talk about it, there are not many heads, such as Pei Xiangguo Pei Yu, who was valued in the Dezong Dynasty, is actually only a Ming classic, although it has become a thing of the past, but after all, it has been prominent for a while.

He was really tired of Chai Tori, especially when Chai Tori reminded him again and again today: "I don't expect to take a certain provincial test in the coming year, and the reason why I went to Shangqingguan today is all because of Xu Xiaodi's desire." ”

Xu Xiuneng: I'm speechless!

Dare to love this person really thinks that his dignified British son-in-law can't go to Shangqingguan except through this way?

Xu Langjun endured dozens of endurances, and only then did he not whip the horse's ass and go away, showing that he could enter Shangqing Guan one step earlier!

However, out of disgust, Xu Xiuneng blurted out as soon as his brain was hot: "Brother Chai, the reason why I am so eager for today's Wenhui is because I perceive that there will be an accident, and maybe, there will be an uninvited guest who will arrive later, and it will be the four heroes of Dongxuan." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Shibatori immediately came to the spirit.

Of course, Xu Xiuneng couldn't tell him the secret he knew, but the corners of his lips curled: "Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the market, and they all say that Gao Yajun's top spot is not worthy of the name, if the four heroes of Dongxuan are really amazing, why don't they dare to challenge Xue Xuanzhi, the top of the Chang'an list?" Xue Xuanzhi and He Shishilang are good friends, and today they must be the honored guests, and this time it is Yingyang real people who come forward to hold a banquet, which is far more eye-catching than ordinary Wenhui, and I guess that eight out of ten of the four heroes of Dongxuan will come to challenge. ”

"Then wouldn't Xue Liulang be embarrassed? Even Yingyang Zhenren is afraid that he won't be able to get off the stage. ”

Hearing Chai Tori's sentence that he was almost taken for granted, Xu Xiuneng really didn't know what to say—what kind of mentality is this? Do you think that Da Zhou is really no match for the four masters except for him!

But Xu Xiuneng was "smiling like a flower": "If it is really as I expected, wouldn't Brother Chai have a chance to become famous?" If you can help Xue Liu, you will defeat the four masters, and the title of the gold list will be taken for granted. ”

Probably because of Xu Xiuneng's ill-intentioned "encouragement", although Chai Qu didn't say anything about the frustration, he also added a little spirit, he was not a person from Chang'an, and he was only limited to the news about Xue Luli, so the next way to Qingguan was all wasted in pestering Xu Xiuneng and asking whether Lu Li lived up to his name.

When it came to the banquet, Chai Tori's excitement still did not disappear, and the owner of Yingyang Zhenren had just raised a toast, Li Yu then proposed a poem to praise the meeting, and Chai Duo couldn't wait to raise the lamp and come forward and recommend himself as this banquet poem! Xu Xiuneng almost didn't tear off half of the sleeve of his "friend", but he couldn't stop it, seeing that Li Yu couldn't help but blacken his face, Xu Langjun couldn't cry and laugh more and more.

He Shishilang reported the Ming Jing, there is no need to show the talent of poetry, today's literary meeting is obviously held for He Shishi's confidantes Wang Qi and Xue Liu, but Chai Qu suddenly came out to dominate, this is a naked provocation, the utilitarianism is too obvious, it is simply the words "I want to be famous" written on the forehead!

Xu Xiuneng couldn't help but glance at Wang Qi and Xue Liu, who were sitting at the same table, and saw that the two of them were calm, as if they didn't notice Chai Tori's rudeness, and couldn't help but raise their eyebrows slightly: If the two of them are not really open-minded, they are indeed deeply possessed.

He looked at He Zhan again, only to see that this person was smiling and squinting at Chai Tori, and he was more and more unhappy, Xu Xiuneng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again - in the future, these three will be the same year, it will be really interesting.

"Little Brother Xu, pay attention to that little lady, it is the real high-footed Liu Eleven Niang." When Chai Tori, who had returned to his seat after chanting the banquet poem first, lowered his voice and said such an admonition, Xu Xiuneng subconsciously noticed the girl sitting next to Yingyang Zhenren, still holding a double snail bun and wearing a grenade red skirt, at this time she was smiling like a flower, and she didn't know what to say to Yingyang Zhenren.

"Last time Li Lang invited a banquet, Liu Shiniang also went to the meeting, don't look at the young age at this time, the evaluation of paintings is very unique, worthy of the teaching of famous teachers, but unfortunately at this time it is not even as good as cardamom......"

What does this mean, could it be that Brother Chai actually fell in love with this Jingzhao Liu daughter? Xu Xiuneng couldn't help but glance at his friends, but a girl in her early teens can actually arouse her thoughts, brother Tai really wants to carry out utilitarianism to the end?! Even so, he should be called a pound two, even if he can pass the exam and attract attention, who is Liu Shiniang? Mrs. Wei's own granddaughter, a real student of Yingyang, where is the humble background to be delusional......

Xu Xiuneng silently made a decision, it would be better to stay away from this son in the future, so as not to be affected by this person who is arrogant on the surface but is actually greedy and does not know the severity, who knows what stupid things this person will do in the future.

But because of Chai Tori's frequent attention to Liu Shi Niang, Xu Xiu Neng was still somewhat affected, and he even stared at the girl's movements from time to time, and it just so happened that he inadvertently caught Shi Niang's sudden blazing gaze, although it was only a quick flash.

Xu Xiuneng couldn't help but turn his head, only to see a servant girl bypassing the seat and whispering softly to Yingyang's real person, not at all peculiar, and it didn't even attract more people's attention.

But Xu Xiuneng once again left an opinion, and Eleven Niang met with He Zhan and Xue Luli respectively.

As soon as his mind moved, he suddenly heard a rough noise: "Real people, the four sages of Dongxuan came uninvited, and I hope that real people are not presumptuous!" ”

"I was really expected by Brother Xu!" In my ears was Shibatori's exclamation with an inhalation.

Xu Xiuneng looked at the opposite of the people present, and did not look at the uninvited guests who broke in, but stared at Liu Shiniang.

He saw the girl's dark pupils, with a clear smile.
