The deer banquet was set up in the prefect's office, the sky was dark that day, fortunately there was no rain, only the autumn wind was raging, and the scenery was blown nothing.

Wu Jin, Xie Yuan, faced the neighbors and distant relatives at home, with a stiff smiling face and dull eyes, like sitting on pins and needles for people to admire, so he freshened up and changed his clothes early, and went to the government office first to meet the officials.

Mo Qianlan, Zhang Xianfeng, and Cheng Taishan all sat in the flower hall at the back of the mansion hall, and the rest of the examiners and deacons would wait until the students arrived before showing up, so only the three of them were roasting the fire here.

Cheng Taishan was healthy and vigorous, making the fire full of red light, fine sweat on his forehead continued, and people couldn't help but lean back, but he didn't expect Mo Qianlan to be like this, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was going to roast the fire, drank cup after cup of tea, and at the same time turned around and chatted with Zhang Feng, the envoy.

Zhang Xianfeng is not of high rank, but he is a close minister of the emperor's side, in charge of the forbidden palace people, things in and out, and has great authority, so no one dares to despise him as a eunuch.

Zhang Xianfeng had a homemade plaster on his forehead, and he was full of smiles, not affected by Mo Qianlan in the slightest.

Cheng Taishan picked up the teacup and thought, "Human spirit." ”

Since escaping death many years ago, Mo Qianlan has become a whirlpool full of destructiveness, and he can easily involve the people around him, but Zhang Qian is not affected at all, and only does his own errands.

While thinking, he proudly told Zhang Fengfeng that he had also participated in the martial arts test back then, which can be called both civil and military.

Zhang Xianfeng laughed and thought secretly: "Fortunately, I was beaten by Mo Jiedu's envoy, if I eat a teapot from the prefect of Cheng's mansion, I am afraid my head will be broken." ”

He also complimented Cheng Taishan that he was indeed a talent, and Cheng Taishan also interceded for Mo Qianlan in a roundabout way, and Mo Qianlan sat firmly in the Taishi chair and drank ginseng tea.

The two of you come and go, and finally Zhang Feng sighed: "Your Majesty once instructed the minister, saying that Mo Jiedu and Mo Girl have not been separated for a day, although it is a grace, but in the end the separation of the two, Mo Jiedu makes the first time to listen to the edict, I am afraid that there will be unpredictable words and deeds, so that the minister does not have to make a big fuss." ”

"Oh?" Cheng Taishan immediately looked at the east, "Your Majesty is merciful and sage." ”

He sat down again, picked up the teacup, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given such an instruction, if Mo Jiedu accepts the order calmly, the offering will be doubtful." ”

Zhang Xianfeng smiled and didn't answer, everything was clear in the hearts of the three of them - if Mo Qianlan accepted the order calmly, when Zhang Xianfeng returned to Beijing, His Majesty would be suspicious.

"Today's heaven is not beautiful-" Cheng Taishan was about to start another conversation, the little guy outside the door lifted a curtain on one side, came in and told the three nobles that the current Xie Yuan and the four had arrived in the same year, and were waiting in front of the platform for communication.

"It's all early today, call them over," Cheng Taishan stood up and ordered the little servant, he couldn't bear this kind of warm room for a moment, and there was heat under his buttocks, "Just go to the garden." ”

The three of them came out of the flower hall, Mo Qianlan shivered as soon as he came out of the room, Cheng Taishan stretched out his hand to help him, only then did he find that his hands were cold pig iron, glanced at him, and thought of Zhang Xianfeng on the side, inconvenient to speak, only silently withdrew his hand.

Li Yi's medicine is a miracle medicine for others, but for Mo Qianlan, it is like being splashed on a stone.

The three of them walked down the stone steps and stood for a while, and the five students walked over together, standing five steps away, and shook it to the end.

The lights converged from under the eaves of the dougong, illuminating the faces of the five people of the same year, and the eyes of Mo Qianlan and the three of them fell on Wu Jin without hesitation - the tall and thin young man had a humble and calm demeanor, and his demeanor was clear, even if he was coarse and clothed, he was also very outstanding.

Mo Qianlan indifferently sleeved his hands and spoke lazily, but Cheng Taishan praised endlessly, full of love for talents, and only hated Wu Jin as if he was not his own son.

Zhang Xianfeng said with a smile on the side: "Mo Jiedu makes the Zhaixue in the house really extraordinary, the servants are all the first names, if the little third master of your family in the Cheng Governor's Mansion had not suffered an unwarranted disaster, he would have been a blockbuster." ”

"Haha......" Cheng Taishan touched his nose in embarrassment, "San'er is stupid." ”

Zhang Xianfeng said: "Governor Cheng is too modest, I think your little third master is very clever, and he will take care of people." ”

When he said the last three words, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Mo Qianlan stood aside, saw Cheng Taishan glaring at him, and opened his mouth: "Are you planning to hold a deer banquet here?" ”

Zhang and Cheng hurriedly stopped and went to the garden with the students.

The students came one after another, and finally the examiners and the deacons of the road also arrived, dressed in court clothes, and entered the banquet in turn.

Wu Jin, as the leader of the list of Xie Yuan, under the guidance of the Chinese scholars of the government, led everyone to meet the officials, and read the chapter of "Lu Ming", and after reading, he returned to the throne for a banquet.

Wu Jin raised his glass while paying attention to Mo Qianlan's complexion.

Since Mo Qianlan's illness, he has never seen Mo Qianlan again, at this time, he saw Mo Qianlan in the first seat, his face was thin, and everyone else was wearing court clothes, but he seemed to be unable to stand the weight of the court clothes, wearing a Taoist robe, his eyes were half open and half closed, and his eyes swept slightly towards whom, that person must have to laugh.

Wu Jin saw that his majesty was still there, so he quietly withdrew his gaze.

"Wu Jieyuan," he raised his glass in the same year, "The autumn wind is ruthless, why don't you chant poems and make gifts, how about a competition?" ”

When you are drunk, you will inevitably show your high talent in front of the officials and compete to make poems.

Wu Jin's heart was not here, he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, barely coped with a few songs, but they were not very good, he was fined a few glasses, and when the banquet was nearing the end, he was dizzy, his face was hot, he got up and went to the official room twice, and when he sat down again, he saw Mo Qianlan looking at himself.

The firelight floated a layer of soft light on Mo Qianlan's face, and no one could glimpse what he was thinking from his face, whether it was sadness or calm, he kept it secret.

Then Mo Qianlan waved at Wu Jin and motioned for him to come to his side.

This has never happened before.

Wu Jin was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had drunk too much wine, and rubbed his eyes, only to realize that Mo Qianlan was indeed beckoning him to come forward.

Everyone looked sideways, their eyes were sour, jealous, curious, and envious, and they didn't dare to look at Mo Qianlan, so they all shot at Wu Jin - everyone in Mankuanzhou knows that Wu Jieyuan is not only a poor man, but also a servant of Mofu Xuezhai.

Wu Jin stepped forward and bowed.

Mo Qianlan stood up and naturally put his hand on Wu Jin's shoulder: "Help me go to the official room." ”

He seems to be kind to Wu Jin, and he seems to treat him as a slave of Mofu, and he doesn't need to be a servant in the garden, so he has to let Wu Jin help him to go to the official room.

And Wu Jin ignored the gaze of others, and there was no embarrassment on his face, he stretched out his hand to support Mo Qianlan, and before the two of them could take a step, they saw Zhang Fengfeng also stand up, and said with a smile: "Xie Yuan is young, hairy hands and feet, or I will go together." ”

When the words landed, Mo Qianlan and Cheng Taishan's expressions froze, and in a blink of an eye, they changed their smiles, and Cheng Taishan deliberately stopped: "Zhang worship, how can you ...... it?"

Zhang Xianfeng walked straight to Mo Qianlan's side and held his other arm: "It is also my blessing to be able to serve the festival envoy." ”

Wu Jin immediately understood-Mo Qianlan had something to say to him.

However, Zhang Xianfeng was like a sticky and fine spider web, wrapping Mo Qianlan in it, even if he had the power to splash the sky, he had nowhere to show it.
