"Okay, let's not fight, just these two poems, you can't see the real talent. There are people who write one or even two sentences in their lifetime. ”

After arguing for a while, Su Shidao took the initiative to soften, "With the wind of Concubine De's return, there will be activities in Jiang'an City in the past few days." The state school also organized some great Confucianism, and will hold a literary meeting the day after tomorrow to celebrate the mother. What level is he, let him try it at the literary meeting, let's stop arguing for the first time! ”

Old Man Yun shook his head, "That's you, his calligraphy has already entered the hall with this character, and it is in a class of its own." I don't have to wait. ”

"The surname is Yun! Shameless, isn't it! ”

Su Shidao rolled up his sleeves, as if he had returned to the school of decades ago.

Old Man Yun laughed, "Okay, okay, then let's wait until the Wenhui." Do you think you'll be able to rob me by then? ”

Su Shidao was stunned, and then slapped the table, "Set up the wine!" If the old man doesn't pour you down today, the old man won't be surnamed Su! ”

......

The next day, in the morning.

"Second brother, the weather is very good today, why don't we go out for a walk?"

In the small courtyard of the Xia family in Nantian Lane, Xia Ningzhen, who had regained a lot of vitality, came to the courtyard in a hurry, looked at Xia Jingyun, and took the initiative to propose.

Wash her face, change into clean clothes, and coil her hair, like the flowers on the branches of spring, it is the time to be bright and moving.

In her eyes, this cousin, who used to be just a nerd, has now changed his perception and has become handsome and talented, and the little girl is naturally willing to be close.

"Your second brother is not well yet, you want to go out and accompany you for your father." Xia Mingxiong looked at his little padded jacket intimately and volunteered.

Xia Ning really held his forehead, "Hey, I suddenly felt a little dizzy and didn't want to go." ”

Xia Mingxiong: ......

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Ning Zhen's proposal is very good, and it is not conducive to recovery, big brother, come with us?" ”

Xia Yunfei thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Xia Mingxiong looked at his daughter who jumped out of the door happily, and sighed for a long time.

A moment later, Xia Jingyun walked slowly in the city with his cousin Xia Dingyuan and his cousin Xia Ningzhen.

It's still good to come out for a walk, and as you talk to others along the way, everyone knows about Concubine De's relatives.

Xia Jingyun also suddenly realized, and some things that he originally thought were unreasonable also became clear in an instant.

For example, why did you build that high platform, why did you have to rush the construction deadline so urgently, and why you could win the reward of the three adults by offering a way yourself.

And why Shang Gongtai and the officials who will be the prisoners appear in this small county town in the southwest of the empire.

He didn't know much about the concubine's relatives, and his only impression was that the concubines in the dream of Red Mansions were the concubines.

For this matter, the Jia family also built a grand view garden with great fanfare, but the concubine didn't come back overnight.

But unlike Concubine Yuan's relatives, Concubine De came back from Zhongjing City with great fanfare, and it was definitely not as simple as simply visiting relatives, even if it was intended, Emperor Chongning and the bureaucrats of the empire would add various incidental purposes to this line.

It is precisely because of this that the small Jiang'an City has become very lively and prosperous because of the proximity of Concubine De's relatives.

Selling along the street, there are not only red-faced vendors, but also girls in Qinglou who are showcasing flowers;

What stands out is that it is a vibrant one.

"Phew! No shame! ”

Xia Ningzhen glanced at the coquettish women who were exposed with a large area of snow white and shaking their handkerchiefs, and scolded in a low voice.

As a result, when he turned his head, he found that the two brothers had straight eyes.

"Big brother and second brother! You guys! ”

Xia Jingyun immediately retracted his gaze, and it was inconvenient for him to press the gun, so he had to pout his ass slightly, and said with a straight face: "Sister, don't think too much, for my brother, I am thinking, there are so many girls committed to Qinglou, where is the virtue and politics of the imperial court, and where is the actions of local officials......"

Xia Ning really looked adoring when she heard this, and twisted Xia Yunfei's arm, "Big brother, look at the second brother!" Day by day I know to think about those unclean things! ”

Xia Yunfei's neck stalked, and Xia Ning really-for-tat, "What?" Tell me, what are you thinking? ”

Xia Yunfei's momentum was discharged, and he glanced at Xia Jingyun with resentment.

The three of them continued to walk forward, Xia Jingyun looked around, but he was secretly thinking in his heart.

He still has to take the road of the imperial examination, first of all, he must find a way to wash away the charges on the Xia family and restore his status as a civilian.

It's useless to file a lawsuit in this matter, the players and the referee are the other party's people, and there is no chance of winning.

Finding a bigger backstage or powerful person to make a move, using magic against magic, is the most reasonable solution.

Now that Concubine De is back, the powerful people from all over the world have gathered, which is the best opportunity.

But having worked as a project manager for many years, he understands that friendship is more important than equality.

If he is shy and stammers, whether the other party will help or not, even if he helps, he may become a vassal of others in this life, so he thinks that the best way is to become famous first, and after becoming famous, many things will become simple.

Solving this kind of thing will also become an investment, not a gift and an exchange.

It is not only conducive to rehabilitation, but also can win some convenience for future imperial examinations.

When Concubine De came back, the density of the magnates in Jiang'an City was afraid that it would be rare in a hundred years, and as long as she planned carefully, it must not be a difficult thing.

And before that, Xia Jingyun glanced at his cousin who was leisurely by his side.

I have to make some more money!

The road back is worry-free, so that you can concentrate on "taking the public examination"!

But where to make money?

While flashing in his mind the ways of various predecessors to make a fortune, Xia Jingyun followed his cousins to a wide square next to the county office.

On weekdays, there are posters here, and occasionally there are big gatherings here.

Now it was surrounded and a group of people were busy inside.

"This brother, what are you doing?"

"You don't even know that?"

It's easy to get beaten up if you talk like this...... Xia Jingyun scolded and arched his hand: "Please also ask Brother Tai to teach you." ”

"Concubine De wants to go back to her hometown to save her relatives, can we from our hometown say nothing? From tomorrow onwards, all kinds of celebrations will begin one after another. I heard that the official warehouses in the entire Surabaya Prefecture will open warehouses to release grain, and Jianning County will set up porridge sheds in each county to help refugees and displaced people. ”

The man said proudly: "Our Jiang'an County is even more powerful, from tomorrow, the porridge shed outside the city will not be mentioned, there is a temple fair in the city, saying that it was specially consulted by Master Yun, and it was built according to the way Niangniang was when she was a child." ”

Suddenly, the man's voice was lowered, revealing a smile that all men understand, "It is said that ah, there are also Oiran people from Zhongjing City who came to give alms, when do you say that we can meet that grade, who in the city is not secretly saving money these days, and is ready to take a good look at their smiles and voices when the time comes, and spend money like dirt." ”

"Ahem." Xia Jingyun glanced at his cousin who was not kind to the side, "That, brother, let me ask you what you are doing here!" ”

"Oh, this, it's the Wenhui, starting the day after tomorrow, the state Xuexue is personally arranged, and when the time comes, many Confucians and students from all over the country will come, and a group of people are chanting poems against each other, which doesn't mean anything. Let's talk about the Qinglou, it is said that the Ning Bing girl ......"

"Thank you, brother, for your doubts."

Xia Jingyun hurriedly spoke, and then said goodbye and left.

What do you think, flowers and plants are such things that are only done by the laity.

Like him, there is no need for flowers.

Looking at Xia Jingyun's back, the man shook his head regretfully, shook off the folding fan and fanned it, "Hey, it's a pity, I'm not a fellow believer." ”

Xia Jingyun didn't leave directly, but went around to the other side of the square and asked another person.

This person is much more reliable, he didn't talk about so many strange things, and directly told the situation of this Wenhui.

To put it bluntly, it is still a set of prosperous times, which is not only a piece of filial piety to Niangniang in the literary circle of Surabaya Prefecture, but also an important part of Concubine De's trip at the cultural level.

What really moved Xia Jingyun was that the Wenhui would finally elect a leader, who would not only be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, but also be able to attend Concubine Xide's welcome banquet at that time.

Xia Jingyun couldn't help but think if he could get Wen Kui.

With the money, the family has no worries;

With a name, whether it is rehabilitation or the imperial examination, it has helped;

The most important thing is that if you can attend the welcome banquet of Concubine Xi De, this rehabilitation is greatly promising.

"Looking at the appearance of the brother's platform, it seems that you are a little moved?" The man saw Xia Jingyun's appearance and asked with a smile.

Xia Jingyun was also very frank, "I just don't know how to participate?" ”

"To participate, just register over there." The man pointed to a pergola not far away, then smiled, and said very tactfully: "There is also a way to play this Wenhui, that is, betting, Mingyu Gambling House has opened a handicap, you can bet on Wenkui, I think it is more suitable for a person like me." ”

You're a talker...... Xia Jingyun smiled and nodded, "Thank you Brother Tai for your advice." ”

"You're welcome, the day after tomorrow, let's witness Zheng Gongzi's demeanor of winning Wenkui."

I take back what I just said......

Xia Jingyun turned around and said goodbye, and walked towards the pergola that had signed up over there.
