first minister

Chapter 165

Whether Gongsun Jing was surprised, admired, or even jealous, Xia Jingyun didn't care about that.

As long as Gongsun Jing is still loyal to his elder sister, as long as he doesn't trip him up, he can think whatever he wants.

He really doesn't have the heart to think so much about the things that are on his mind now.

Su Yuanshang and Gongsun Jing both went down, and he often breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and rested.

When he opened his eyes, he was so scared that he almost lost his mind.

There was a big face in front of him, and two eyes were staring at him blankly.

He grabbed the teacup in his hand and was about to smash it, but suddenly recognized the owner of this big face, and stopped his movements.

But the tea leaves and tea soup in the cup, under the effect of inertia, flew over without hesitation.

"what are you doing!"

The two yelled at each other in unison.

The tea leaves were hanging on Bai Yunbian's face, and the tea soup dripped down from the tip of his hair, with a sad and indignant expression on his face, "I came to see you with good intentions, but you poured tea on my face, how dare you ask me?"

Are you looking at me?Those who didn't know thought they were going to kiss me!
Xia Jingyun made a slander, and didn't make much excuses, and quickly asked his servants to bring a dry cloth to wipe, "Accidental injury, accidental injury, I thought there was an assassin!"

"I stab you? What should I stab you with!"

Hearing Bai Yunbian's righteous words, Xia Jingyun coughed dryly, "Well, let's not talk about this topic of human body structure, why did Brother Lexian come to see me?"

Bai Yunbian said with a straight face, "When are you going out?"

Xia Jingyun showed doubts, "Didn't you go out yesterday?"

Bai Yunbian's eyes were not friendly, "Aren't you pretending to be stupid?"

Xia Jingyun was really confused, "I'm so stupid, oh no, I really don't know what you're talking about!"

"Did you forget that you are here to participate in the Spring Festival?"

!!!

Xia Jingyun suddenly realized, what the hell, really, almost forgot.

When I arrived in Zhongjing, I was the emperor, the imperial concubine, the prince, and the minister. I almost forgot that I was just a juren, and I hadn't even become a Jinshi yet!

He had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Brother Lexian, you can go out on your own these two days. I still have some things to do, and I will come to find you when I am done."

Xia Jingyun didn't lie, he really has a lot of things to do:
The position of Lieutenant in Jingzhao Mansion has not yet been confirmed, and I still have to try my best to grasp this position that is so dominant;

On Jiang Yuhu's side, he was personally escorted to Beijing, so he should go and thank him no matter what, ahem, it's not important to pay a visit to the old army god and add a backer to him, the main thing is that he knows how to repay him;

In addition, he had to find Zhang Dazhi, the general prisoner. The way to make a lot of money in Zhongjing City depended on the general prisoner.

In addition to the matter of the new mansion and the matter of Feng Xiuyun leaving the palace, there are all kinds of miscellaneous things, everything is really waiting to be straightened out!
Bai Yun looked at him, and said coldly: "It's just a Jieyuan test. How many Jieyuan are there in this spring, and how many top talents are gathered together. If you are careless, you may fail the ranking!"

He snorted, "Don't think you're safe!"

Xia Jingyun nodded, watched Bai Yunbian go out, sighed silently, walked to the desk, and began to think about things again.

Bai Yun went back to the room to freshen up, and really left the Hou Mansion with the book boy and guards.

After hanging his head for so many days, it was the time when he had eaten his stomach full of ink and was waiting to show off. How could it be in line with Mr. Bai's temperament not to show off!
Although it's a pity that he couldn't avenge his shame in front of Xia Jingyun, it was enough to earn the attention of others.

The people in the Hou's Mansion knew that this was the nobleman's distinguished guest, and arranged the carriage wisely.

The carriage wobbled onto a street.

This street is quite interesting. On the left side of the street is the Surabaya Guild Hall, and on the right side of the street is the Yunmeng Guild Hall.

Two adjoining states, by such a coincidence, have their pavilions facing each other.

These guild halls were presided over by the imperial court and funded by wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from various prefectures in Zhongjing City.

It is used as an inn on weekdays, and when spring comes, you can stay in Juzi in Honshu.

In the guild hall, the price is cheap and the quality is good, and the care for the candidates is quite considerate.

After all, these candidates will all be officials in the future, which is subtle and needless to say.

The carriage stopped outside the Yunmeng Guild Hall. Although the shopkeeper here didn't know much about the Jiang Anhou Mansion, he recognized that the carriage was definitely not for someone else, so he greeted it respectfully and curiously.

When Bai Yunbian got out of the car, many of Yunmengzhou's disciples showed a little excitement.

Although in the state school in the past, most of the people were ridiculed and despised by Bai Yunbian, but now, meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country, the emotion suddenly became stronger.

Many people stood up and greeted him proactively, only then did the shopkeeper realize that this unattractive young man in front of him turned out to be the son of Jinke Xieyuan of Yunmeng State, or the young master of the prefectural historian, so he hurried forward to say hello.

Surrounded by stars like the moon, Bai Yunbian felt that this was his stage.

What's the point of being dumbfounded every day with Xia Jingyun, I'm not a girl!
After a brief period of courteous greetings, Zhouxue, who was leading the team, came out in a hurry. When he saw the white clouds, he felt as if he had seen a savior.

"Lexian, I heard that you also came to Beijing before, but I haven't seen you in the past few days, and I don't know where you are looking for. You are back!"

Bai Yunbian smiled slightly, "The eagle flutters its wings at Baiyunbian, and it should also return to Luoyunmeng. The student is a disciple of Yunmengzhou, and he will come here to meet all his classmates. There is no need to worry about becoming a teacher."

"It's not something we can't rush!"

Cheng Jiaoyu sighed, "Do you still remember the thirteen state chaos that we told you about in the state school?"

Bai Yunbian nodded again and again, and his expression was quite excited, "Remember, you said that every time it came to the spring, all the prefectures would invite sons to Beijing, and they would visit each other in the pretext of visiting each other. I'm waiting for this!"

Cheng Jiaoyu nodded, "This matter was originally a riot of a bunch of idlers, but after the court saw it, it was also a literary struggle. It can not only show the style of writing, but also find something to do for you energetic and idlers. They kill two birds with one stone, so they acquiesced in private. Slowly, this has become a rule. There are even casinos that offer odds specifically for this matter!"

Bai Yunbian's expression changed, "Could it be that this chaos is about to start?"

Cheng Jiaoyu's face collapsed, "It's not about to start, but it has already started. We have lost two games in a row in Yunmengzhou."

Bai Yun asked puzzledly: "Didn't it mean that it is usually after the Yuan Festival and before the Spring Festival? Now there are still a few days before the New Year's Eve, why did it come so early?"

Cheng Jiaoyu shook his head, "This matter is nothing more than everyone's tacit understanding, but if someone breaks this tacit understanding and takes the lead in taking action, will the rest of the people stand still and wait until then to fight back?"

Only then did Bai Yunbian understand, and he immediately smiled, "What should I do! Just don't worry about teaching me."

He stood with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "I come, I conquer!"

The shopkeeper and the waiter at the side were stunned, but Cheng Jiaoyu was already used to Baiyunbian's style, "Don't be careless. During this chaos, you can play poems, compose poems, compose poems, even compare calligraphy, drink orders, you can play anything, as long as it suits the scholar's elegant taste, and if you are not careful, you will miss it."

He murmured: "If not, let's choose the weakest one first, and take the initiative to attack, so that we can practice for you."

Although Bai Yunbian was arrogant, he was not a fool, and he knew it was a mature and prudent suggestion as soon as he heard it.

So, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Then according to the teachings, which one is suitable?"

Without hesitation, Cheng Jiaoyu stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the opposite side, "Sishui Prefecture, they have lost three games in a row."

puff.
Bai Yunbian choked on the tea suddenly.
