first minister

Chapter 273

For the next seven or eight days, Xia Jingyun didn't see Qin Li again.

One is that he is busy, and he has no time or the nerve to go to Mingyulou;
The second is that Qin Li probably didn't think about how to face him, so this pair of men and women who had been speculative to a certain degree of ambiguity suddenly entered an embarrassing period.

But this is just a thin layer of diaphragm, when one day he thinks about it, and after it is pierced, it will be easy to say anything.

Qin Li didn't show up, but the Qin family sent people to the Hou Mansion every day, giving some money today, discussing business tomorrow, inviting guests to a banquet the day after tomorrow, and sending an ancient book the day after tomorrow. It is to remind him every day, we are not joking, you should think about it carefully!

Then, with a lot of entanglement in his mind, Xia Jingyun met a person who almost thought he had disappeared from the Hou's mansion.

Xia Jingyun looked at the thick dark circles on Bai Yunbian's face, and looked surprised, "What have you been doing these days? Why are you more haggard than when you stayed up late to prepare for the exam?"

Bai Yunbian sat down on the chair boldly, "What else can I do? I think it's singing and drinking, chic and unrestrained!"

Xia Jingyun clicked his tongue and said, "Didn't you do anything else?"

Bai Yunbian chuckled, thinking of those girls with all kinds of charms, showing an understanding expression.

Seeing this idiot, Xia Jingyun gave him a blank look, "Then why are you coming back?"

Bai Yun picked up the tea in his hand, and took a sip slowly, "Didn't Cheng Jiaoyu come to stop him, saying that it's almost time for us to rest for a few days, and it's almost time to announce the results, so we should go to study hard. There's also the palace test."

Xia Jingyun smiled, "You guys are so obedient? You are more powerful than Cheng Jiaoyu if you have won Jinshi."

"I can't help it!" Bai Yunbian smiled, "Although this young master is a genius, he must be able to do it at his fingertips, but he persuaded him with nice words, saying that we don't want to disobey him. "

Xia Jingyun nodded, "That's right, you are indeed a soft-tempered person."

Bai Yunbian pursed his lips, "Isn't this normal? It's a woman's job to eat hard food."

???

Xia Jingyun blinked, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Your skills have improved these days!"

Bai Yunbian chuckled, and then slowly put away his smile, "But I'm serious, you should go to the guild hall if you have time, now some people say that you are now so successful that you don't like your old classmates anymore."

Xia Jingyun thought for a while and nodded.

It's not that he really cares about these rumors, but Bai Yunbian's words really reminded him that Zhou Xue also has the kindness of teaching him, so he should go to greet him out of emotion and reason.

From a utilitarian point of view, today is an era that pays attention to morality, and it is easy to be attacked if there is a lack of morality, and these students will play a big role in the future when they enter the officialdom. Yu classmates.

"Okay, let's go to the guild hall tomorrow and talk to the teachers and classmates."

In the early morning of the next day, a carriage set off from the main entrance and went to the Surabaya Guild Hall.

After a few days, the bustle in front of the Hou Mansion finally subsided. Although it was still full of people, it was much calmer and more orderly than the initial madness.

Xia Jingyun no longer had to sneak out through the back door.

When I arrived at the Sishui Guild Hall, I happened to meet a few students from Sishui Prefecture coming out of it. When I saw Xia Jingyun, I subconsciously wanted to greet him, but my eyes and footsteps suddenly hesitated. After thinking about it, I turned around and entered the hall.

Xia Jingyun was slightly embarrassed, and Bai Yunbian ruthlessly made up his sword, "Look at it, people don't dare to treat you as a classmate anymore."

Walking into the guild hall, looking at each other, they also showed hesitation and did not dare to say hello.

Xia Jingyun was about to open his mouth when there was a sound of footsteps, and a figure rushed towards him.

It was because of Chen Fugui's good eyesight that he recognized Xu Dapeng, otherwise he would have kicked him back.

"Gao Yang! You are finally here!"

Xu Dapeng gave a bear hug, carefree, as always.

Xia Jingyun was not unhappy at all, and smiled happily: "I was busy with things a few days ago, so I didn't come to see you, I'm sorry!"

After speaking, he bowed his hands to Zeng Jimin who was following behind Xu Dapeng, "Brother Zize, I haven't seen you for a long time, you look good!"

Zeng Jimin smiled and said: "Alcoholism hurts people, I have restrained a little bit, naturally it looks better."

Seeing them talking and laughing at Yan Yan, the students in the guild hall finally let go of their hearts and stepped forward one after another to say hello to Xia Jingyun.

Xia Jingyun naturally smiled, and the atmosphere in the venue was harmonious.

At this time, Xu Jiaoyu from Sishui Prefecture came out, and after having an overly enthusiastic chat with Xia Jingyun, he opened his mouth and said, "Don't stand around stupidly, come here, put the tables together, let's sit down and chat."

Everyone was busy at once, Xia Jingyun tugged at Xu Dapeng's arm, and whispered, "Thank you!"

Xu Dapeng smiled and winked, but didn't speak.

Just as everyone sat down, the disciples from Yunmeng State opposite heard the movement and also came over.

Seeing this, Xu Jiaoyu couldn't help laughing and cursing: "You picked the time well, and you came here after we had all the seats arranged, right?"

Cheng Jiaoyu from Yunmengzhou on the opposite side smiled and said, "According to what you said, we should wait for the food and wine to be served! Haha!"

After finishing the instruction, he led everyone in Yunmengzhou to salute Xia Jingyun.

Naturally, Xia Jingyun didn't pretend to beep, and responded gently and politely one by one.

After all this tossing was over, everyone sat down again.

Before the butt could warm up the stool, a few more people came in from the door.

When everyone saw it, hey!
Aren't these some famous talents in Longshou Prefecture, Sixiang Prefecture and other places?

"Brother Mingde!"

"Brother Danqiu!"

Everyone got up quickly, and after a few salutes, they immediately came to Xia Jingyun.

"Longshou Prefecture raised his son Yu Daoxing, whose name is Danqiu, and met Brother Xia."

"Tong Xingrui, son of Sixiang Prefecture, alias Zixiang, met Brother Xia."

"Baekyang Juzi"

Seeing this scene, Xu Jiaoyu from Sishui Prefecture suddenly had a sore nose.

When has Sishui State, which has always been ranked low above the state's literary affairs, been so beautiful that it can make the most outstanding candidates from each state come to visit and take the initiative to visit.

With this scene, this trip is worthwhile, worthwhile!
Most of the rest of the candidates in Sishui Prefecture were also honored, and inadvertently sat up straight and puffed out their chests.

The reason for saying most of them is because there are still seven or eight people sitting in the room and not coming out, just looking at the bustle in the lobby from a distance through the window, with disdain on their faces.

These people are Cheng Ziyun and others who slandered Xia Jingyun earlier.

"You talk about talented scholars, but in the end, they are not a bunch of villains who follow others."

"Look at their flattering faces, how can they still have half a literati spirit!"

"If you want me to say, these people are all short-sighted! Although Xia Jingyun has gained some momentum by relying on the concubine Defei, the concubine Defei would never dare to cheat in the scientific examination, right? He just doesn't do business every day You look like you, can you still get good grades in the exam?"

"That's right. First, I was imprisoned in the Black Ice Terrace Prison for so long, and I only prepared for two days when I came out. Then I spent the whole day doing nothing to earn a false name. It's no wonder that I can do well in the exam!"

"This is justified. When I saw that he was at the bottom of the exam, and even failed directly, these people can still laugh so happily like they are now! Will they be ashamed of today's flattery!"

These few people are like cute ostriches in the enclosure. You talk to each other, and by slandering others, you encourage each other and hug each other to keep warm.

And the chat below is also continuing, everyone laughs at Yan Yan, chats about the world, and talks about the past and the present.

Suddenly a young man said, "Brother Xia, how did you do in the Chunwei exam?"

As soon as these words came out, the originally lively table became quiet for an instant.
