Hearing these two words, Liu Xingnan's face changed greatly,

"Brother Chen, how did you hear this news?" Song Che waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't care how I found out, in short, everyone is stuffing the door bag and money, and you can't ignore it-" But without waiting for the words to finish, Liu Xingnan retorted: "No, this is ...... This is bribery, besides, the door bag is okay, the money is bottomless, I heard that some people sell land and land in order to do these things, it's simply criticized! Song Che said: "Don't be afraid, Brother Chen, the last thing I lack is silver." ”

"Childe, Boss Chen is right," the little scholar Lu An said: "Childe, you think, our family background is already inferior to those rich and noble students, and if we lack this human sophistication, how can we get ahead in the provincial examination?" Anyway, with Boss Song's funding, I don't want you to spend a penny......"

"Luan!" Liu Xingnan scolded angrily: "Anyway, you have been with me for so long, and you can't read a lot of Confucian classics, how can you forget even the most basic etiquette, righteousness and shame?" Even if my name is down, I will never do this kind of favoritism and opportunistic things. She turned her head to Song Che again and said: "Brother Chen, I understand your kindness, but I read the book of sages, even if I am not enough sages, I vow to be a righteous gentleman, you don't have to mention this bribery again!" He Qiu nodded, very satisfied, very satisfied.

Song Che elbowed him with his hand. He Qiu cleared his throat and asked, "Brother Liu is righteous, Gong admires him very much." But Gong thought that he was only a shallow learner, and he still wanted to try to go through the back door. But I only arrived in Jinling today, and I am not familiar with the doorway here, I wonder if Brother Liu can show me a clear way? ”

"Oh, Brother Gong, I see that you are gentle and elegant, and you speak decently, why are you so worldly? I advise you not to pay bribes, otherwise you will be caught, disqualified from the exam, banned from taking the exam for life, or ...... If you are in prison, you will be imprisoned! She was genuinely persuasive.

He Qiu said: "I just want to ask about the market, if it's too dark, I won't send it." Brother Liu, can you do me a favor, for my brother-in-law's sake? Liu Xingnan struggled for a moment, sighed lightly, and said: "I only came to Jinling yesterday, and I only heard other classmates mention it during the meal, saying that if you want to go to the relationship, you can go to the Ruyi Building in the east of the city, where there is a special 'skewer' to help you introduce, but I don't know what the specific process is." Song Che and He Qiu looked at each other.

"Brother Liu, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Huh? I'm not going, I'm not going......"

"Oh, it's okay, go and see if you won't lose a piece of meat, maybe there will be some surprises?" Song Che also ignored Liu Xingnan's refusal, and dragged him into the carriage.

Ruyi Building is a teahouse. In the morning, Confucian scholars came in and out. As soon as Song Che and the others entered the door, an old Confucian with a thin figure and a hippie smile greeted them and asked, "How many sons are this year's candidates, right?" ”

"They are candidates," Song Che pointed to He Qiu beside him and Liu Xingnan who was hiding behind him, and introduced himself with his chest: "And I am the gold master." The old Confucian laughed: "I can see it, I can see it, this wrench on the thumb of the Guangda official knows that he is a person who does big business." Song Che said: "That being the case, there is no need to go through those bells and whistles process, let's be straightforward, I'm not short of money here!" The old Confucian stopped talking nonsense, and led a few people upstairs.

Staying on the second floor, turning left and right three or four turns, the old Confucian stopped in front of an elegant room, there was a row of masks hanging next to the door, the old Confucian pointed to the mask and smiled: "A few, pick a mask and then enter the room?" Keep it a secret, you can't go wrong. ”

"Yes." Song Che and He Qiu casually picked out a mask and put it on. Liu Xingnan gently tugged at Song Che's sleeve, and his voice was a little timid,

"Brother Chen, I don't think I want it anymore......"

"It's all here, what's the point of going in and having a look?" Song Che took another mask and put it on Liu Xingnan's face.

The old Confucian knocked on the door twice, then knocked three times in a row, and finally whispered to the inside: "The God of Wealth has arrived." ”

"Squeak ......" The door slowly opened, and behind the door stood a middle-aged man who was six feet tall and slightly fat, and he beckoned Song Che and them into the room.

The room was not small, but it was very dark, only a small candle was lit, just like the specifications of a conference room, there was a podium at the front, and there were more than a dozen chairs under the stage, and before Song Che and them, there were already four people waiting on the chairs.

If it weren't for being in ancient times, Song Che would really have thought that he had entered a pyramid scheme.

"Take a seat first, and when this group of people is ready, I will explain the relevant matters to you." The chubby middle-aged man lowered his voice.

Song Che and the others took their seats. The Confucian scholars in the seats were silent, at most they just looked at each other, but everyone was wearing masks, who knew whom?

"Liu Shorty!" Unless she's special. She is very tall, her eyes are special, and her white-washed robe is also very special.

So she was recognized. Seeing a Confucian student get up, he pointed at Liu Xingnan and exclaimed. Liu Xingnan covered his mask and tilted his head.

"Haha? It's really you! Wang Zhipeng stepped over a few chairs, came to Liu Xingnan's side, and reached out to pull the mask.

Song Che grabbed his wrist first, and said coldly: "Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday, I can split three bricks with one palm, and flatten your head with one fist!" Wang Zhipeng said: "Who are you, why do you have to protect her everywhere!" Song Che said coldly: "You are allowed to bully her everywhere, and I am not allowed to protect her everywhere, why?" ”

"Stop me!" The fat man hurried over and stopped,

"Do you know whose territory this is, and dare to make trouble here, and live impatiently?"

"Oh?" He Qiu asked, "Then tell me, whose territory is this?" The fat man's tone was very steady, and he only said in a deep voice: "It's you who are not qualified to know, and you can't afford to mess with you, so give me honesty, understand?" Only then did Song Che let go of Wang Zhipeng's hand.

"Steward, your threshold is too low, isn't it? Look at this person, even her clothes are patched, she looks poor, where does she seem to be able to afford to pay the regular money? Wang Zhipeng pointed at Liu Xingnan and mocked.

The fat man said: "You don't care how she dresses, when she enters this room, everyone has to follow the rules, if you are not obedient, I guarantee that you will not even be able to step through the gate of the Tribute Courtyard!" Wang Zhipeng snorted lightly, and had to return to his position and sit down.

Liu Xingnan sniffed and wiped his tears secretly.

"Brother Liu, don't be sad, soon he will cry louder than you."
