Sheng Fu

Chapter 49

In the suburbs, the autumn leaves in the distant mountains turn yellow, and the nearby autumn waters are cold.

There is a simple stall by the river, which is a big tent. There are several tables and chairs outside the tent.

Pu Weiqing rarely walked out of Bailu Academy. Today, when he saw an old friend, he felt that almost all the inns and restaurants in the city were overcrowded. Besides, older people like to be clean.

The taste in the wild stalls in the suburbs is actually not bad, because it is wild enough.

Jing Peiyao stood behind Pu Weiqing, and opposite the dean was a middle-aged man dressed as a rich man. Like most middle-aged men, he also had a big belly.

This man's name is Duanmuzhi. He was the deputy prime minister of the dynasty and a famous scholar. Compared with Kang Changzhi, his knowledge is different, and he is not as good as Kang Changzhi in some areas. .

When it comes to studying knowledge, Duanmuzhi's mind is not so pure in many subtleties, but compared with the rest of the officials, he can be said to be a clear stream.

This time, the chief examiner of the Banquet of Eight Gus was this middle-aged man with a fat belly.

The guy in the tent brought two bowls of mutton soup, Duanmu took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "I remember when I was the poorest, let alone a bowl of mutton soup, it's moldy steamed buns, it's all a luxury, The noble spirit of most scholars has been exhausted in the poor life."

Pu Weiqing took a sip, the taste didn't change much, and he said softly: "I don't mean to bribe you if I invite you to dinner, don't be rude."

Duanmu Zhi is a straight minister, but it does not mean that this person is a heartless person.

He smiled and said, "Naturally, the content of the assessment will not be leaked, but this time the assessment of the Banquet of Eight Gus is generally very fair. There will be luck elements, but the proportion is not large."

"The process will be a bit cumbersome and a bit of a grind. That's all I can reveal."

It was enough to reveal so much to Pu Weiqing.

Pu Weiqing smiled strangely and said, "It's really upright, but I invited you to dinner because of other things. After Xie Yiming and Sui Ting came to the imperial city, they shouldn't be too quiet."

"Jing Peiyao and Yuwenjun's goals are too big, but Yuwenjun doesn't care, because there are unreasonable people like Gu Yong to support, just my apprentice, I'm afraid of encountering some unexpected changes in the banquet of Bagu, I hope you Take care of it."

Duanmu put down his chopsticks, stared at him, and said solemnly: "This is not like your style, you look like a little girl, it is very distressing, but it will never allow the dean of Bailu Academy to practice favoritism. "

Pu Weiqing said bitterly: "After the banquet of eight Gus, she will go to Beihai. Fuyao has already greeted me, and I have acquiesced in this matter."

"I thought that I was the head of the school anyway, so I had to seek some personal gain for my apprentice."

The autumn color is bleak, just like Pu Weiqing's current mood.

After drinking two big mouthfuls of mutton soup, Pu Weiqing said again, "Actually, you can give Fuyao a choice now, but it's too ugly to eat like that. In recent years, this little girl has often cooked for me to eat. I have to worry about snacks."

"I don't mind offending some people."

Duanmuzhi pondered: "It may be better for you to negotiate with Wang on this matter. At most, I can only protect this girl in the category of the banquet of eight cares."

Pu Weiqing replied: "I have never liked King Ping very much. Even if he did nothing wrong, I still don't like it very much. It is enough to have your nod and promise, and leave the rest to me."

Duanmuzhi smiled knowingly and said, "This mutton soup is very tasty, after all, it's your treat."

The friendship between the two men is as thick as mutton soup in a bowl.

A tavern in the imperial city.

Xie Yiming and Sui Ting ordered a table of sumptuous dishes. The two of them would definitely not be able to finish this table of dishes, but if they ate slowly for an hour or two, they might be able to achieve not much leftovers.

Sui Ting said, "I don't know who started it. Both of us have been kept out of the way. Speaking of which, it has nothing to do with your south, but if I remember correctly, Gu Yong once killed the whole family of the Time Sect."

"There are also several aristocratic families, which were also destroyed by Gu Yong."

"Don't you think this is very interesting, brother?"

Xie Yiming is tall and strong. In fact, this person likes vegetarian food, and occasionally eats meat. The vegetarian dishes on the table are all ordered by him. The typical attribute is to drink cold water and have a fleshy physique.

"In troubled times, what can I do? It sounds like a feast for young people, but in fact, everyone is participating in this game."

"We seem to be on the sidelines, but we don't necessarily stay clean from start to finish."

"There are not as many people offended by Fuyao as Gu Yong, but His Majesty the Emperor definitely doesn't like this woman who calls herself an empress. The land of the North Sea is considered to be very lucky, but this woman gave the family the dominance. The emperor still has nothing to do with others."

"Gu Yong is quite liked by the emperor. He personally killed the local snake that was once prosperous in the north and south. This credit is worthy of the founding of the country. His Majesty is also a person who is nostalgic. an account."

"But Gu Yong doesn't seem to appreciate it."

"Earlier Yuwenjun and Jing Peiyao swaggered around in the imperial city, and two young people with high spirits just walked on the same street."

"Jun Yuwen even drew his sword towards Fuyao, and he was very powerful, but Fuyao fell in love with Jing Peiyao soon after."

"As far as I know, the relationship between Yuwenjun and Jing Peiyao is really unclear at present, and Gu Yong and Fuyao are both masters that cannot be measured according to common sense."

"Let's just wait and see. I don't care about the South, and you don't have much say in the North."

Sui Ting raised the glass of wine and drank into his throat. Hearing such an irresponsible and carefree remark, his heart was nourished a lot. If someone wants to fight, just let them go.

This year, the Spring Court Palace party that everyone was looking forward to was not held as scheduled, which hurt many curious people, as if they had missed an opportunity to make a fortune.

Yu Wenjun of Qinglong Courtyard doesn't hear things outside the window. Even if he knows that many things are happening outside the window, he has been deducting and calculating, and he has successfully calculated the tricks outside the banquet.

In the study, Bizhu brought a pot of Wannianchun tea. Yu Wenjun took a deep breath of the tea. In autumn, the weather is dry, and you often feel tired in autumn. In contrast, Wannianchun tea has a refreshing effect far better than Longquan water. Fragrant with the snow.

"It's hard work, please go to Senior Sister Peiyao's place and invite her over for tea." Yuwen Jun said.

Bizhu bowed slightly and slowly stepped back, Yuwenjun poured a cup of tea on his own, and smiled inexplicably: "This is more thrilling than killing Zuo Qingtang in the first place."

After waiting for a while, before Jing Peiyao came, Liu Qinghua did.

Smelling the fragrance of the tea in the study, Liu Qinghua pretended to frown and said, "Junior Brother, your life is too extravagant and insulting Bailu's style of writing."

Yu Wenjun smiled and poured a cup of tea for Liu Qinghua, handed it to Liu Qinghua, and said with a smile, "This tea is quite lethal to Qiuba."

Liu Qinghua took a sip, then sat on the chair and said, "Junior Brother, I've been thinking about it for a long time. I plan to fight it once and try my best to become Bagu."

"It's better to be more pragmatic, what do you think?"

Yuwenjun was slightly startled, Liu Qinghua's expression was serious, not like he was joking, and solemnly said: "Then let's fight it once."
