"Qiu Yan, you and I will see the real chapter in the examination room. ”

Wen Zhizhen looked at Qiu Yan, smiled faintly, revealing the appearance of a bamboo in his chest, he just walked all the way, from the area where the candidates of Jiangnan Province belonged, to the gathering place of the Jiannan Road lifters, and I don't know how many people have attracted the attention of Lu Dao along the way.

Now, when this sentence was spoken, dozens of eyes fell on the two of them at the same time, and the most obvious one was gathered on Qiu Yan's face, for these people, Wen Zhizhen was already a very familiar person, but Qiu Yan's face was a little unfamiliar, and he inevitably had to discuss and ask.

Since that day out of the limelight at the literary meeting, Wen Zhizhen has often been invited by the city's talented people and dignitaries to participate in poetry meetings and anthologies, and write poems and essays in them.

Of course, there are also people who help behind the scenes, otherwise there would not be such a situation.

"That person is Qiu Yan, he doesn't look like he has three heads and six arms, and he was blown like that. ”

In a tea shop some distance away from the Gongyuan, Xu Ran, Pang Qianru, Song Qian, and Ji Zheng were dressed as women and men, gathered around a table, and looked at the crowd from a distance.

The tea shop where they are located seems to be prepared for the person who sent the exam, and from this angle, they can just see Wen Zhizhen and Qiu Yan.

It's just that in the face of the four women who could be seen at a glance as women disguised as men, no one else dared to approach them, and the reason was the two guards on both sides.

These two people are not necessarily tall, they are dressed in short fights, standing upright, and they look no different from ordinary Changsui, but as long as someone looks at the two of them, they can feel a tremor from the bottom of their hearts, as if they are not seeing people, but some kind of fierce beast!

The instinct to seek advantage and avoid disadvantage. It will make other people who take the test stay away.

But if the four girls didn't know it, when they heard Xu Ran's whisper, the other three women all smiled slightly and didn't respond, of course they knew that Xu Ran had a deep love for Wen Zhizhen, and these days, in order to help Wen Zhizhen gain a foothold in Xingjing, he encouraged a lot of people to go to Zhang Luo for Wen Zhizhen. Otherwise, in a short period of time, how could Wen Zhizhen receive so many invitations? Even some famous families have released a certain amount of goodwill.

In the half month that Qiu Yan has been studying hard, Wen Zhizhen has cultivated a certain amount of popularity in Xingjing City, and his every move has attracted attention. came to Qiu Yan, and in just one sentence, it immediately stirred up a thousand waves.

It was passed around, and everyone knew Qiu Yan's name.

In fact. As Wen Zhizhen's reputation in Xingjing gradually became famous, the events of the Japanese conference also spread, some people ridiculed and some people were unhappy. But in any case, Wen Zhizhen has shown the real material, which can be regarded as famous and real. And Qiu Yan is nowhere to be seen, but he has a reputation circulating, how can he convince others?

Since ancient times, there is no first scholar, they are all readers, unless they are really pressed and it is difficult to breathe, otherwise how many people will think that they are inferior to others?

"This person is Qiu Yan, looking at his appearance, there seems to be nothing special. ”

"I can't say that, Zhang Lao Xiangguo paid a lot of attention to this person that day, I visited relatives and friends after I went back, and finally got a little news, so I knew that this person's background is extraordinary?"

"Huh, he still has a background?"

As soon as this discussion began, many people eased their nervousness about the exam.

"Isn't it, I heard that when Qiu Yan was in Jiannan Dao, he studied under Ma Lao Xiangguo!"

"If you say that, it's really possible that Ma Lao Xiangguo went to southern Xinjiang two years ago. ”

Immediately, someone said in a strange voice: "Okay, I said, Wen Zhizhen is only eight buckets high, and he has this reputation now, this Qiu Yan has not seen any achievements, but he can faintly have the same name as him, it turned out to be a protégé of Zaizhi, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

"I've been studying hard for a few years, more than ten years, or even decades, but in the end I'm still not as good as a famous teacher and a high apprentice," another person was indignant, "No wonder even Zhang Lao Xiangguo favors this person! This Qiu Yan is also his son and nephew." ”

The person who said these words was not far from Qiu Yan and the others, and his voice came intermittently.

Wen Zhizhen smiled indifferently, turned to face everyone, and wanted to say a few soothing words to reflect his generosity and strength, while Zhou Guan on the side was full of righteous indignation, and only felt that people's words were terrifying, so he had to open his mouth to distinguish Qiu Yan.

On the contrary, it was Qiu Yan, the person concerned, squinted his eyes, stared at Wen Zhizhen's back, and was silent.

However, before the two of them could speak, a sneer came from the side, accompanied by another word-

"Stupid!"

These two words came abruptly, the words were clear, and as soon as they were spoken, the people around them subconsciously stopped talking, and then followed the sound to look, but the eyes were full of mocking faces.

Feng Zhao!

Seeing that face, Qiu Yan immediately recognized his identity.

This person's name is Feng Zhao, and Luo Jiayun and others live in the same inn, but they are not social, Qiu Yan once saw him when he went to the library inn for the first time, and the other party was in a cheer, pouring a basin of cold water on Wen Zhizhen, giving people a sense of cynicism.

Unexpectedly, the other party would speak out at this time.

"Ma Yang and Zhang Lian are both old parties, but Wang Fu, who presided over the reform, is a new party, if Qiu Yan is really Ma Yang's disciple, then this imperial examination, he will face greater risks than ordinary people like me. ”

Feng Zhao sneered, looking at everyone, his eyes were full of sarcasm and ridicule: "Let me ask, if you wait for the invigilator, will you take such a person?"

As soon as he said this, everyone changed color.

Everyone talks about the old and new parties in private on weekdays, it doesn't matter, at this time outside the tribute courtyard, a few steps away, is the soldiers of the imperial court, there is more Xiangguo in the courtyard, or one of the parties to the old and new parties, in such a situation, who dares to take the government presumptuously?

What's more, this Feng Zhao even said the names of Ma Yang and others without embellishment, without any respect, which also made everyone frightened.

On the other hand, Feng Zhao's words were the most in line with reality, which made the surrounding discussions come to an abrupt end.

"Brother Feng, ...... you" Luo Jiayun looked at Feng Zhao with a look of surprise, in his impression, Feng Zhao has never been a pretentious to others, when has he spoken for others?

Noticing the gazes, Feng Zhao sneered, looked around, and finally his gaze fell on Qiu Yan's face, shook his head and said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't plan to become inflammatory, but I can't get used to seeing some people's minds, how many people present can't understand what I said?

In addition to testing one's own knowledge, it is also necessary to figure out people's hearts, those nerds who read to the point of being stupid must be there, but if they do not understand the world, it is difficult to go too far on the road of the imperial examination.

"After seeing it through, but still saying those words just now, this intention is debatable, could it be that you want to find some excuses for losing the list?" Feng Zhao still sneered, but there was silence around him.

After a while, Wen Zhizhen spoke: "This brother is reasonable, and you have a certain understanding of your intentions, but I believe that Brother Qiu is not that kind of person, and the court will not allow such things to happen." His voice was slightly dry, but the smile on his face remained.

As soon as he said this, everyone could be regarded as having a step down, and the previous behavior of discussing Qiu Yan was no longer out of selfishness and malice, but caring for and loving Wen Zhizhen's reputation.

At this moment, the soldiers not far away saw the crowd gathering and also came to disperse the crowd.

On the other side, there was a sudden sound of crackling firecrackers, and then someone came to roll call.

The scene suddenly fell silent, only the sound of firecrackers remained.

All beings knew that this was the official start of the test, and after being named, some people organized a queue and walked to the gate of the tribute courtyard, one by one, to be searched.

In addition to preventing entrainment, it is also necessary to put an end to impersonation, and to compare the characteristics and age of candidates according to documents and files.

In fact, after coming to the city for the record, the candidates in the same province also have a joint guarantee link, which is the joint responsibility, it is to endorse others, Qiu Yan, Luo Jiayun and Zhou Guan are each other's guarantees.

When it was Qiu Yan's turn to go up, the officer in charge of the search, after checking the documents and understanding his identity, flashed a little cold light in his eyes, and then grabbed Qiu Yan, the green tendons on his wrist jumped, and he grabbed his arm violently, and his fingers bent, like an iron hoop, stuck Qiu Yan's arm through his clothes, and he was secretly swallowing!

Of course, they can't spread their hair and strip off their clothes to search, but through their clothes, they are touched from above, which is just as uncomfortable, and in this, in fact, there is also an opportunity to make a secret hand, and even affect the candidate's mood in one fell swoop, making his examination room abnormal.

"This person is Qiu Yan! It was specially ordered by Lord Tian to pay close attention. The officer's expression did not move on the surface, but his thoughts turned sharply in his heart, "Scholar Qiu, Scholar Qiu, I have no grievances with you, and I can only blame you for offending people who can't be offended." ”

Thinking like this, his hand, constantly swallowing dark energy, was about to swim on Qiu Yan's body, but he didn't expect the thought to pass over, but the hand did not move at all, as if it was out of touch with his thoughts! It was actually stuck to Qiu Yan's arm.

"Huh?" The messenger was stunned for a moment, and before he came back to his senses, Qiu Yan spoke: "Your strength has also been practiced to the dark strength, which can be regarded as a small achievement, but when you practice, there should be no food supplement, so it seems to be strong, but in fact, the body is full of dark wounds, and it is only practiced outside, not solid, presumably every two or three days now, there will be bursts of tingling pain in the lower ribs, right?" (to be continued......)
