Chapter 15: Compassionate Xia Jingyun
At the shed, people who looked like scholars were lining up in twos and threes, and a small official who looked like a scribe was sitting in front of a desk, doing registration.

Xia Jingyun was also in the team, slowly moving forward.

Soon it was up to him.

"Name." The scribe didn't lift his head.

"Xia Jingyun. The scenery of the scenery, the sunshine of the sun."

"Nation."

"Wanfu County, Jianning County."

"Is it a state student?"

"No."

"Who did you learn from?"

"Um, self-taught."

The scribe looked up at him, "Is there a great Confucian who recommends it?"

Xia Jingyun shook his head.

"Is there an official recommendation?"

Xia Jingyun shook his head again.

The scribe stopped writing, crumpled the piece of paper in his hand and threw it away, "Then you can't enter the venue to participate, you can only watch from the outside. If you want to enter, go to a great Confucian or an official for recommendation, and come again."

Xia Jingyun wanted to say something, but the people behind him urged him again, so he had to leave first.

Walking out of the arbor, he scratched his head, not expecting a grand plan, and fell on the first step.

"Erro, what's wrong?"

"Second brother, have you signed up yet?"

Seeing him, two siblings, Xia Yunfei and Xia Ningzhen, came together.

He shook his head helplessly, "I didn't expect that people would have to study students from the state, or be recommended by Confucian officials."

The two siblings looked at each other with regret and helplessness written in their eyes.

With the current situation of their family, where can they find such a person!

Xia Jingyun didn't give up, he sucked his teeth and thought about how to do it. Such a great opportunity was in front of him, and he definitely couldn't give up easily.

It's really not discrimination if people do this, there must be a screening for so many people.

But who could he turn to!

While looking around in confusion, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

The figure walking forward with heavy loads was none other than Feng Xiuyun, the female official from Shanggongtai!
As soon as he thought about it, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the other party.

Feng Xiuyun was looking around at Xia Jingyun's figure.

Early this morning, she was invited back by the guards of Yunfu.

Old Master Yun personally ordered her to find a way to get Xia Jingyun to attend the literary conference in her name.

Although the old man didn't say much, Feng Xiuyun, who had experienced in the harem, immediately understood that the old man or Su Daru had taken a fancy to Xia Jingyun, and wanted to take the opportunity of the Wenhui to investigate.

Maybe this Xia Jingyun can become her key winner this time!
So, after receiving the order, she immediately went to Nantian Lane. Who knew that Xia Jingyun was not at home, and said that she was out shopping.

You only have a few dollars in your pocket, and you still go shopping!

Feng Xiuyun muttered, and hurriedly led the guards to look around.

However, as the day of Concubine De's arrival approached, the city of Jiang'an became more and more prosperous, and it felt a bit crowded, and she spent a lot of effort but couldn't find it.

While looking around, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, "Master Feng."

Feng Xiuyun was startled, and when she took a closer look, it turned out to be the Xia Jingyun she was looking for so hard, "Ah! You are here!"

Xia Jingyun didn't notice Feng Xiuyun's slightly strange words, bowed his hands together, and said respectfully: "Master Feng, Caomin has something to ask."

Feng Xiuyun was thinking about how to tell her purpose of letting him participate in the literary conference quietly and without showing any trace, so she hummed absently, "Say it."

"Caomin wants to participate in the literary fair, but Caomin is not a student of the state school, and must be guaranteed by an official. I wonder if an adult can help?"

Feng Xiuyun:? ? ?

She was a little dazed for a moment, so you are so considerate?
Want to send a pillow when you fall asleep?
Seeing Feng Xiuyun's slightly surprised look, Xia Jingyun was a little apprehensive. The reason why he found Feng Xiuyun was because compared with the other two adults, Feng Xiuyun had an extra layer of relationship with him, after all, he wanted to be closer.

Moreover, the same sex repels each other, and the opposite sex seduces each other. Under the same conditions, the opposite sex usually speaks better than the same sex.

He quickly added, "There is no need to do anything extra, just to help out as a security guard. The grass-roots people will definitely not let you down."

Feng Xiuyun came back from a brief absence, looking at the handsome face in front of her, she became more and more joyful, suppressing the joy of completing the task in her heart, she said with a sullen face, "Lead the way."

Xia Jingyun's expression brightened, "My lord, please."

Soon, Xia Jingyun appeared in the shed again.

The scribe noticed the change of person from the changing light and shadow, and still did not raise his head, "Name."

"Xia Jingyun."

"Didn't I tell you, you didn't"

The scribe spoke impatiently, then raised his head, his expression suddenly changed, he got up and said respectfully: "Feng Shanggong."

Feng Xiuyun was calm and calm, she folded her sleeves and said softly, "I'll be his guarantor."

The scribe nodded quickly, quickly wrote down the voucher, and handed it to Xia Jingyun.

After walking out of the arbor, Xia Jingyun hurriedly expressed his thanks, and Xia Yunfei and Xia Ningzhen who were beside him also followed suit.

Seeing that he was so polite, Feng Xiuyun was a little embarrassed. That word helped her a lot, and now she helped her complete the task assigned by the old man, and finally thanked herself.

I am not the kind of shameless person, so it is better to give back to others.

So she smiled slightly, "Since you are so self-motivated, I am also very pleased. If there is anything else you want, I can help you again."

Xia Jingyun hastily said: "I am already grateful for the guarantee of Mr. Labor, and I dare not have extravagant hopes."

"It doesn't matter." Feng Xiuyun smiled, "I like your wording the day before yesterday, so I take it as a reward for you."

Xia Jingyun was also a bully at the construction site back then, and he was no stranger to climbing along poles. The intimacy of people's relationship is due to the familiarity and smoothness of this process, so he rolled his eyes, "If this is the case, let the grassroots be bold, please do me a favor."

Feng Xiuyun smiled and nodded, "Okay."

The largest gambling house in Jiang'an County is called Mingyu Casino.

The main reason for its success is that it was opened by Xu Xiancheng's brother-in-law.

Therefore, it has also become the exclusive betting agent for this article.

For this essay meeting, it also specially rented a small door face opposite the venue, which was used as a betting point.

I have to say that the casino is absolutely second to none in terms of customer service, especially before your money is transferred to his pocket and your smile is transferred to his face.

Inside the small gate, there were two accountants busy, accepting bets from gamblers and handing over vouchers.

A stern-looking man in brocade clothes walked slowly outside the door, leading a seven or eight-year-old child.

The strong man on duty at the door saw the two of them, and quickly ran up to meet them, "Master, young master."

The man in brocade clothes said lightly: "I'm busy with you, I'll just look around."

The guards retreated, and the man in brocade clothes and the little boy stood aside, watching the gamblers place their bets.

A gambler came up and put down five pennies, "Zheng Tianyu, bet five pennies!"

The little boy looked up at a big sign hanging in front of the door, and found Zheng Tianyu's name on it, "Daddy, what does it mean that Zheng Tianyu pays [-]%?"

The man in brocade clothes smiled gently at his son, "That is to say, if you bet Zheng Tianyu one tael, if he takes Wenkui, you can get back a total of one tael."

The little boy nodded, slowly digesting his father's words.

"It's only a small compensation, is this Zheng Tianyu very good?"

"Of course, this year's Wenkui is likely to be him."

Then another gambler stepped forward, "Zeng Jimin, bet two taels."

The little boy said, "This Zeng Jimin pays two for one. Should I bet one or two, and if I win, I can get back three or two?"

The man in brocade clothes smiled gratifiedly, "That's right! My son is really smart."

While talking, another slender but thin young man came over. He stopped in front of the sign and looked at it for a while, and walked over, but he didn't place a bet directly, but asked, "The others mean that as long as anyone other than the one above wins Wen Kui, they can be counted as winners?"

After being confirmed by the person in the gambling house, the person took out ten taels of silver, "I'll bet on this one!"

The little boy looked at the last line and said happily: "I see, he bet ten taels on this other person. If he wins, I can get back one thousand and ten taels of silver!"

"You're wrong." The man in brocade clothes rubbed the little boy's head and said with a smile, "This means that his ten taels of silver are gone."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xia Jingyun's back and chuckled lightly. He had seen this kind of people a lot. He only looked at the money he could win, but didn't think about whether he could win or not. In the end, he could only lose his underwear.

I'm so happy, I earned another ten taels of silver in the blink of an eye, "Jun'er, don't you want to eat the roast chicken from Cuihualou, go, daddy will take you to buy it!"
