Qingfeng Building is on Chang'an West Street, and the last time Liu Ping'an went here to apply for a guard, the boss also offered a high salary of three taels of silver to hire him as a chef. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Qingfeng Building's signature dish is chopped pepper fish head, 500 wen a piece.

Liu Ping'an ordered this dish directly as soon as he came up, and the price made his mustache ache ache for a while, and his monthly salary was just three dishes. But fortunately, other dishes are not expensive, last time Liu Ping'an tasted the wine here, it was just a general distilled spirit, I didn't particularly want to drink it, just the mustache wanted to save money, so I didn't ask for wine.

It's about to be spring, and the capital is full of scholars these days. Basically, every larger restaurant has a variety of literary meetings every day, and all kinds of people who want to be in the limelight and spread their reputation talk everywhere, for fear that others will not know them.

In the morning, when Liu Ping'an went out to the dart bureau, he also met the clerk who was also dressed and went out to say that he was going to a banquet, but he didn't expect to see him in Qingfeng Building when it was almost evening.

There are also dozens of scholars gathered in Qingfeng Building, originally the table was a small square table, which could not sit so many people, but these scholars put seven or eight tables together to make a big table, and naturally they could sit down together, which was full of dishes and drinks. At the head of the seat was a young man in his twenties, richly dressed and magnificent. All the scholars were full of compliments on him, thinking that it was a very famous move.

The scholars get together to drink wine is nothing more than chanting poetry, and at this time, the pair is very popular, and the pair is also an important activity at the wine table.

Liu Ping'an and Mustache were squeezed by the window, because the large tables of the scholars almost occupied the space in the center of the hall. At this time, these scholars were carrying out the drinking order, and they seemed to be very lively, but when they listened carefully, they were all arguing, desperately suppressing others and elevating themselves.

Liu Ping'an saw the clerk several times with a red face and was forced to drink. He chatted with the clerk a few times, and found that although this person was full of talent, he lacked quick intelligence, and usually had to look forward to it for a long time before he could say anything. This kind of meticulous thinking is good, but it will look clumsy at the wine table, especially if the disadvantages are clearly visible when others are specifically targeted.

The mustache listened to it for a long time, and sneered: "These scholars are all flowery intestines, and they still go around and around when they say a word, you see that white-faced scholar has been insulted many times by the green-shirted scholar opposite, if I would directly cut it with a knife." "He doesn't know Wen Jiaming.

Liu Ping'an also smiled: "The literati are light, they are all like this, it is better to mix the rivers and lakes and be refreshing." That white-faced scholar is Wen Jiaming, who rented a courtyard with me. Brother Wen's knowledge is very good, and he is very likely to pass the exam this time, so many people are targeting him. ”

There was a loud burst of laughter from the scholar's desk at this time, and I don't know what was going on. I saw the young man in the first seat pick up the wine glass and said loudly: "A few times ago, my father went to an official's house as a guest, but I didn't think that the other party had a pair, and my father kept chatting after he went home, let me try if everyone here can help my father solve this problem." ”

"It's our honor to be able to help the prince solve the problem, and I ask the prince to make it clear!"

It turned out that this young man was the son of a certain prince, no wonder everyone looked like he was stammering. I saw that this son pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Shanglian is like this, spoiling the Han family, and the poor window is lonely." You all try it, and whoever answers me will toast him with this glass of wine!"

Suddenly, all the scholars were silent, and for a while they were silent, and the prince looked at them and smiled, eating the dishes by himself. However, the scholars of this era are still somewhat talented, and after a while, several scholars have given their own sub-couplets.

The most powerful scholar in the green shirt who just ridiculed Wen Jiaming was one of them, he stood up and said: "It's ugly to the prince, my next link is 'Where it falls when it blooms, Xiaoyue is cool'." ”

"Not bad. Shizi said encouragingly, but he didn't raise his glass, obviously not enough. The upper link is the side of the treasure cover, and his lower link is a bit failing, but the artistic conception is not bad.

At this moment, several more people stood up and gave their answers.

"The flower fairy has fallen and the moon is gone. ”

"You can know where the dust falls, and you can get away with the water. ”

The answers were mixed, but the prince only praised him, but no one drank his glass of wine.

At this time, someone answered: "The guest official lives in the palace, and the rich room is tolerant." The prince was moved, and he picked up the wine glass in his hand to see which great talent it was, but he didn't expect the voice to come from the stairwell, and the person hadn't come up yet.

Liu Ping'an also looked up at the stairwell, but saw a group of people walking up slowly. At first, one person was beautiful, shorter, and well-dressed, but when he looked closely, he was a woman in men's clothes. She was followed by five or six people, the last of whom was particularly conspicuous, and when she came up, she was still bent over for fear of hitting the beam.

Isn't it who is Xu Dajie? Sure enough, the young master of the Xie family also followed behind this son-in-law.

"The third brother is such a big scene, gathering so many people, but he can't even get a pair, and it is really a nest of bears. As soon as the son-in-law came up, she was not polite, and directly ridiculed.

Shizi stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world says that the lord of Lanjun is Lanxin, and his literary skills must not be bad, why don't you compare with scholars like me?"

"To deal with you wine bags and rice bags, and use the county lord to come forward, we can just come up with someone. Xie Pi obviously wanted to show something in front of Lord Lan, and said first.

"Really, is it okay for you stupid big guard?" said Shizi, pointing at Xu Da.

Liu Ping'an didn't know, in fact, this son was the son of King Han, and Lord Lan was the third daughter of the prince. When the crown prince had no children, he had four daughters, of which the third daughter Lan County Lord was extremely intelligent, with a more bold personality and love men's clothing, so many officials and children who followed the prince were attached to it, and Ning Shizi, the son of the Han Dynasty, clashed in many places in the capital, as a microcosm of the confrontation between his father's court. Fortunately, in this era, on the surface, men and women are equal, and it is not a big deal for women to be in power.

It is not the first time that Ning Shizi and Xie Pi have been in contact, and many of his subordinates have suffered losses at the hands of Xu Da Da in the past few times, so this time he also deliberately pointed out that he wanted to make Xu Da make a fool.

Liu Ping'an knew that although Xu Da was not stupid, he was not smart, and if he was really pushed out for the competition, it would be really ugly. The young master of the Xie family, whom Liu Ping'an knew, also knew, so he said: "You make a move, I will take everything you have! You can't take advantage of martial arts, and Wendou is even more!"

"That's good, we're better than arithmetic today!" Ning Shizi also knew that the people present today were not good at poetry, so he changed his subject. Arithmetic is also a basic subject in the imperial examination, and there happened to be a person present who had extremely strong arithmetic ability.
