Early the next morning, Sun Lei took Lu Fang and Guo Sheng to go out for a walk.

"This brother stays behind!"

A young scholar greeted him with a smile, and there were several other young scholars who were the same.

"You are?"

Sun Lei looked at the person in front of him and frowned, he didn't know this person.

"Cui Yulin in Hagangneung! I've seen the seniors! ”

Cui Yulin clasped his fists at Sun Lei and saluted.

"Oh, from Gangneung!"

Sun Lei looked at Cui Yulin unexpectedly, although Jiangling is not far away, it is not easy to come to Tokyo, and this Jiang Yulin is polite, and he will make friends when he comes up, it seems that he should have a plan.

"I don't know where the senior is from?"

Cui Yulin looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"My name is Sun Shi, and I'm from Haizhou."

Sun Lei said.

"It turns out that the seniors in Haizhou, several of us are students from the south, and the big exam is imminent, and several of us have jointly established a reading club, exchanging poems and songs with each other on weekdays, and studying the exam questions of the past years, I wonder if Senior Sun is willing to advise me?"

Cui Yulin and the others hugged their fists at Sun Lei.

"Book club?"

Sun Lei was a little surprised, but he didn't expect these candidates to have this kind of organization.

"I'm sorry, I have other things, I'm afraid I don't have time to communicate."

Sun Lei really wants to participate, to stand out from the local township test, that one must be a good literary talent, Sun Lei also wants to be a vassal elegance, but unfortunately the ink in his stomach is limited, and he is afraid that he will have to go to the gang.

"Senior Sun, it's your first time to take the exam, right?"

Cui Yulin looked at Sun Lei and asked with a smile.

"You can see that? Isn't it the first time for you? ”

Sun Lei looked at Cui Yulin and asked, these people look like they are in their early twenties, they will try once every three years, and these people should be here for the first time.

"Senior Sun's eyes are like torches, and it is the first time for me to participate in the examination, but I have been taught by my seniors in Benzhou before I came."

Cui Yulin said.

"Oh, senior advice?"

Sun Lei looked at Cui Yulin and the others curiously,

"Senior Sun, since the founding of Taizu, there have been a total of sixty-six champions in the Great Song Dynasty, including nineteen people near Gyeonggi and ten people in Shandong, and nearly half of them have gone!"

Cui Yulin lowered his voice and said to Sun Lei.

"And this kind of thing? I thought that only we Haizhou did not do well in the exam, but it turned out that everyone was the same? ”

Sun Lei asked unexpectedly.

"Senior Sun, you don't know anything, it's not that we didn't do well in the exam! It's the land of Gyeonggi that huddles together and excludes! Every time the big exam is held in Tokyo, those people can prepare early, and they can know the examiner first, and it is easy to know the examiner's preferences through relationships, so as to answer the questions in a targeted manner! ”

Cui Yulin said angrily, this is unfair to their foreign candidates, they often need to spend two or three months or even half a year to travel, along the way trekking through mountains and rivers, sleeping in the open, if unfortunately encounter bandits, poisonous snakes and beasts, it is even more difficult to save their lives.

"Candidates from all over Gyeonggi have also formed a large reading club, which only accepts candidates from all over Gyeonggi and does not allow me to wait for entry, so our students from other places can only sign up for a group to keep warm!"

Cui Yulin looked at Sun Lei and explained.

"And that kind of thing?"

Sun Lei suddenly realized, it seems that this regional huddle is very serious.

"This year's chief examiner is said to be Cai Jing, so isn't calligraphy very important?"

Sun Lei looked at Cui Yulin and asked.

"The senior is right, Master Cai's calligraphy is unique in the world, and now many people are practicing Cai Ti hard, and they are ready to write with Cai Ti when they are ready to try!"

Cui Yulin nodded.

"Senior, we are in the seventh private room upstairs, and we can come to communicate at any time when we are free!"

After Cui Yulin finished speaking, he hugged his fist at Sun Lei and left with a smile on a few people.

"Brother, I think this person is quite sincere!"

Lu Fang looked at Sun Lei and said, this Cui Yulin was polite in his words, behaved properly, and his words were full of sincerity.

"Sincerity? It's just that I repaired those people yesterday, thinking that I have some forces, and I'm an outsider, and I want to join forces. ”

Sun Lei shook his head, he didn't know Cui Yulin, and only one champion was elected every three years, so why did Cui Yulin help him so much?

"With my brother's talent, the champion is no problem!"

Guo Sheng said with a smile.

"Forget it, I can't even enter the door of the country's eunuch!"

Sun Lei laughed, his identity is fake, there is no problem in entering the city, but the inspection on the day of the examination is extremely strict, name, place of origin, appearance, Mr. Enlightenment, which academy he worships in, which gentleman is under the door, those classmates, the results of the township examination, and the examiner of the township examination...... Sun Lei doesn't have any of these things, and it is impossible to get into them.

Out of the champion building, Sun Lei smiled and wandered around the street.

All the way to the Suzaku Gate neighborhood.

"Looks like it's not moving!"

Sun Lei looked at the empty city wall and said with a smile, Fang La has agreed, and all parties can leave marks on the city wall outside the Vermilion Bird Gate to show that they have arrived.

"Brother, when are we going to draw it?"

Lu Fang looked at Sun Lei and asked, Liang Shanbo's mark is mountains and water, Tian Hu is a tiger head, Fang La is a sun and moon, and Wang Qing is a knife.

"Let's talk about it in the evening, there are so many people now!"

Sun Lei shook his head, Vermilion Bird Gate is the most important gate in the inner city, there are countless people coming in and out every day, and it is easy to be stared at when you go to paint things in broad daylight.

"It's also your first time in Tokyo, let's go, my brother will take you around!"

Sun Lei smiled and beckoned Lu Fang and Guo Sheng to enter the Vermilion Bird Gate.

……

"It's better to be in Tokyo!"

Cheng Wanli looked at the bustling streets and sighed, there is no need to be afraid here, no need to be afraid of any Liangshan thieves.

Cheng Wanli was finally successfully transferred back to Tokyo from Dongchang Mansion, although he was only a seven-rank idle official when he came back, but he was satisfied that he could stay away from Liangshan.

"Wan'er, this year is just in time for the entrance examination, when the time comes, I will find a good family for you for my father, and there will always be something you are satisfied with in this world!"

Cheng Wanli, who was riding a horse, looked at Cheng Wan'er in the carriage with a smile and said.

"Father, I said I wouldn't marry!"

Cheng Wan'er put down the curtain on one side irritably, opened the curtain on the other side, and looked at the street with bustling eyes.

"Hmph, this can't help you, the marriage event is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker! You don't have to think about that thief! ”

Cheng Wanli was furious, his daughter was a ghost, and she was still thinking about Sun Lei's thief.

"Father, he's not bad!"

Cheng Wan'er argued that she never thought that Sun Lei was a bad person, and Liangshanbo was not a gathering place for bad people.

"Not bad? Isn't he bad for the world, and there are still bad people? It's impossible for you and him. After the entrance examination next year, I will find you a relative, just for a few months. ”

Cheng Wanli said.

"I'm not married!"

Cheng Wan'er's irritable voice came.

"Still thinking about the thief? Okay, don't say that your father won't give you a chance, if the thief dares to come before the end of the exam, I can think about it! ”

Cheng Wanli said with some pride, this is Bianliang, Tokyo, even if he gave Sun Lei ten guts, he didn't dare to come.

"You ......"

Cheng Wan'er was angry and wanted to shout, but she suddenly saw Sun Lei who was wandering around in the crowd on the side of the road, and Sun Lei was holding a piece of mutton kang bun while eating and looking at the juggling stall on the side of the road.
