Zhou Canyun, the governor of Jingzhou County, and Fu Ce, the chief examiner of academic affairs in the county examination, walked slowly inward side by side, followed by other academic officials.

All the officials hurriedly held student salutes to the two leaders, "I've seen Mr. Zhou and Mr. Fu!"

Zhou Canyun laughed twice, waved his hands kindly and said, "No need to be polite, no need to be polite."

"When I came here, I saw you all having a wonderful debate. I specially ordered someone not to disturb you. But I did something that was a villain, not a gentleman's behavior."

Everyone is ashamed. Did Mr. Zhou hear everything this time?

However, the fourth-grade officials are humble, but they cannot climb up the pole.

Then, they exchanged a few words in an official tone, and they all passed by tacit understanding.

Zhou Canyun led the officials to the main table in the east. When passing by Xie Yuheng's position, he stopped and said hello, "I have met the Marquis of Jiangling."

Xie Yuheng hurriedly stood up to avoid it and returned the greeting: "Student has met Mr. Zhou and Mr. Fu."

"Hahahaha, I heard that you little guy likes to eat lotus cakes." Wenzhang behind Zhou Canyun handed over a bamboo strips and rattan food box.

"This is made by my wife myself. Try it once or twice and don't dislike it."

Rong Shi stepped forward and took the food box with both hands. Xie Yuheng cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Zhou, for your kindness. Yu Heng is very happy about it."

Lan Youning looked at this scene and his teeth were about to break. He complained in a low voice, "Humph, for a person in his forties to please a little baby, he really read the book into the dog's belly."

Juzi, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes. The administrative seat of Jingzhou is about to be changed. Although there are 3,000 households in Jiangling City, they are the food towns of the Marquis of Jiangling.

But the merchant taxes are all real money. Is it possible that Mr. Zhou will be offended if he does not establish a good relationship with Marquis Jiangling? That's when the book is read into the dog's belly.

Ji Zi gently moved the chair further away.

How unlucky to sit with such a fool, how could he get fifth place in the exam in a foreign country? There is a shady story, right?

At the main table, Zhou Canyun was still talking in Mandarin, and Rongshi took out a lotus cake from the food box.

The paper-thin pale pink petals contain goose-yellow stamens, which look better than those from Xiangyun Pastry Shop.

Xie Yuheng smiled, Mrs. Zhou is interested.

After eating two lotus cakes, I drank another cup of tea. Xie Yuheng's ears almost became calluses when he heard the official talk, which was no less than the nagging of Principal Zhou of the school in later generations.

Finally, Zhou Canyun gave the order, and the deer-crowing banquet officially began.

The disciples recited "The Deer Ming" together, you played the harp and he played the flute, the harp and harp sang in harmony.

There are also those bold and uninhibited moves, and the graceful and tough Kuixing dance.

Xie Yuheng, on the other hand, sat in his original position, only reciting "Deer Ming" without playing the flute.

There was no way, Xu Lu gave too much.

Although I don’t know why, if I don’t blow, I won’t blow. A piece of meat is indispensable, and a lot of small money can be gained.

"Hey, the deer roars, and the wild grass eats. I have a guest, playing the harp, drum, and harp... with the heart of a happy guest."

Just recite and have fun.

The distance between the officials has become much closer. Many people had unfinished expressions on their faces.

"Master Fu is very good at playing the piano, which is a real blessing to someone." Youju stood up and complimented him.

Fu Ce stroked his beard and said modestly: "No, I'm old. I haven't played for a long time, so I'm a lot unfamiliar."

The boy behind Fu Ce looked down at his toes. He obviously didn't go to bed until midnight yesterday after practicing.

"When I traveled to Jiangling, I heard that the Marquis of Jiangling was very good at playing the flute. It's a pity that I couldn't hear it today."

Yi Jinyi raised his hand and made a sound, the look of regret on his face didn't seem to be fake.

"cough cough..."

All the students in Xie's Academy seemed to have suddenly contracted tuberculosis, and they couldn't stop coughing.

Xie Zhuqing and Xie Mingli looked at each other in the air, holding their foreheads, feeling a headache.

There was some naughty guy in Xie's Academy who listened to Xiao Yuheng's "Heavenly Sound of the Flute".

He didn't want to be the only one to suffer this kind of soul torture, so he deceived people by saying to everyone he met: "The Marquis of Jiangling is very good at playing the flute."

After the people who were deceived realized the truth, they went on to deceive the next group. You see, that’s not how rumors started.

"Oh? I wonder if Mr. Zhou will be lucky enough to hear the sound of Jianglinghou's flute today." Zhou Canyun had previously thought that he was still young and had not learned any music.

Zhou Canyun's family was poor when he was young and he never seriously studied the six arts.

But I learned the flute from the elders in the village. After all, the flute is cheap. Although he has learned about seven or eight, he is barely proficient in music theory, but he only loves the sound of the flute.

At this time, Zhou Canyun looked at Xie Yuheng with bright eyes, and the sincere expression on his face did not seem to be fake.

Xu Lu's head almost shook like a rattle, "Don't, sir, why are you so confused?"

It's a pity that Zhou Canyun didn't even spare him a glance.

After a while, he shook himself unconscious and flopped down on the table.

"This is not good, everyone has already told you."

Xie Yuheng hesitated to speak, mainly because he agreed to Xu Lu. How can a gentleman fail to keep his word! It’s definitely not because you gave too much!

"It doesn't matter, I will keep you company for Marquis Jiangling."

Fu Ce waved his hand and joined in the fun.

Xie Yuheng couldn't help but push it again and again, waiting for Zhou Canyun to order someone to deliver the new flute.

As for the disciples of Xie's Academy, if you tear up paper, they will tear up handkerchiefs, just like the eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers and trying every means to block his ears.

The person next to them looked confused and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Xie Lin shook his head, "You don't understand, just like day doesn't understand the darkness of night."

The master of the house is a good man, except when he plays the flute.

"Inexplicable." Juzi muttered. Xie Yuheng had already obtained the flute.

Many players came to join in the fun, including those playing the erhu, those playing the harp, and those playing the wooden board...

It is an ancient version of a symphony orchestra.

The princes were very happy, and they played with the Marquis of Jiangling, and they would be more popular in the future.

Everyone performs his duties and is in his place. With Fu Ce taking the lead, the music begins!

It was all fine at first, until... Xie Yuheng's flute sound joined in. Fu Ce's fingers trembled and he almost played a wrong note.

Master Fu's eyes were full of confusion. Could it be that he got up in the wrong posture today? The sound of the flute... doesn't sound like the sound of the mortal world.

There are many people who are confused like this, but the scholars do not show it on their faces and maintain the basic qualities of scholars.

Therefore, the confused person becomes more and more confused when he sees others looking normal. Is there something wrong with his ears?

Until a guy who played the erhu couldn't help it anymore. With a tremble of his hand, he made a sound like sawing wood, which completely disrupted everyone's rhythm.

The guy lowered his head and turned red. He held his hands in front of Xie Yuheng and said, "I... I'm so anxious that I disturbed the elegant mood of the Marquis. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." Xie Yuheng smiled and was not annoyed at all.

"Hahaha, this guy has three urgent needs, so go ahead and go."

Fu Ce wiped the sweat from his forehead and came to the rescue for him.

The guy looked constipated and walked out of the hall quickly.

You guys look at me, I look at you. Only then could a look of relief be seen on the other person's face, and they both looked at each other with a wry smile.

Looking at the snickering Xie Academy candidates, they suddenly realized that this was the case!
