Crossing Prince Yinren

Li Qufei was busy and humble, but he was also very moved.Calculate the money on your body, even if you enter the Songhe Tower, you will not make a fool of yourself. Even if no one appreciates it, you have the right to see the world. This Songhe Tower is the first-class place in the imperial capital. Go in and see it. It's not worth a trip to the capital.

I gave the boy a few pennies to buy fruit from the dried fruit shop opposite, and told him to play there and not to run around. He followed Wu Yanfang into the Songhe Tower, and Li Qufei was surprised when he entered the shop: [-] In the spacious and imposing lobby, where the doors and faces were opened, a dozen or twenty gorgeous and dignified ebony tables and chairs were arranged in an orderly manner, and more than half of the guests were dressed as scholars.

Li Qufei's first reaction was: Could it be that there are so many people going to Beijing to participate in Chunwei this year?

Immediately after, I found that every move of these people seemed to be extraordinarily elegant and unrestrained, and there were several tables nodding their heads and groaning with plum blossoms.Taking a closer look, these people also have one thing in common, that is, their voices are extremely loud, and their eyes are secretly looking towards the second floor.

Li Qufei was puzzled for a moment, and his ears sensitively caught a few sensitive words: "Master Nalan..." "Master Gu..." "Master Zhu..." Then he looked at several city halls and looked at the people on the second floor. Chong Yang looked excitedly, and immediately understood what was going on: It seems that everyone has the same goal, and I can't help but sigh, the pressure of competition is so great!

Fu Linyuan and his group sat down at two tables close to the stairs, which could be seen first when they came down from the second floor, ahead of the other group of scholars. Looking at so many competitors, their faces were a little gloomy.Seeing Wu Yanfang bring Li Qufei in again, even if someone said impatiently: "Brother Wu, what are you bringing him in for? Can he afford the reward of the little one here?"

Such ruthless words made Wu Yanfang unhappy, and said with a sullen face, "Don't worry, I will pay Brother Li's share later, and I can afford it."

Wu Yanfang's father was an academic officer with high prestige in the local area. This group of scholars didn't show it on the surface, but they still let him get a little bit of attention in private. Seeing that he was angry at this time, they stopped talking and let him talk about it. Li Qufei led him to the table.

Li Qufei followed Wu Yanfang to the table, pretending not to notice the hostility and rejection from his peers.His stalwart father once offended all the people in the county who could take a breath when he was alive, and he was well-known in the whole Kaifeng Prefecture. With such an old man who can offend others, if he is not thick-skinned, he will not be able to live at all , Compared with the previous ones, the scene in front of me is so childish that it can be ignored.

Although the judges in the seat didn't say anything about Li Qufei to save Wu Yanfang's face, they also treated him as if he didn't exist, ordered a table of dishes and two pots of good wine, and even managed to get a plum blossom, shouting loudly. Come to poetry, praise each other.Wu Yanfang wanted to throw the topic to Li Qufei several times, but was interrupted deliberately. Li Qufei touched his nose and had no choice but to enjoy himself admiring the grand and elegant interior of Songhe Tower. Delicious food for the table.

Speaking of which, it was the first time for him to come to this kind of good restaurant and eat such good noodles.Songhe Tower is worthy of being the first-class store in the capital. The dishes are all delicious in color, fragrance and taste, and even the tableware and utensils used are extremely clean. It makes people feel pleasing to the eye.Li Qufei tasted every dish, and felt that it tasted really good. It is not in vain to go to Songhe Tower just for this table of dishes.

All the students recited poems elegantly, seeing him like this, they looked down on him very much, and asked deliberately sarcastically: "Brother Li, is it delicious?" Li Qufei looked sincerely surprised, and asked: "The dish It's right in front of you, can't you all taste it yourself?"

All the students were choked and had nothing to say for a while, so they could only ignore him and continue to recite poems to fight against him.

Among everyone's poems about plum blossoms "composed" to No. 14, and poems about snow "written" to the ninth and a half—the reason for "half" is because a dear friend only read the first four lines—— At that moment, the sound of thumping footsteps was finally heard on the stairs on the second floor, and several gorgeously dressed and handsome men appeared at the stairway, some old and some young.

The people in the lobby on the first floor unconsciously watched them secretly.I don't know who whispered: "It's them, that handsome young man with azure cloak is the Langa Mountain man!"

The Lenga Mountain native is the name of Nalan Rongruo, who is known as the number one talented person in the Northern Kingdom. Now that Nalan Rongruo is here, the other big men must not have run away!

Everyone suddenly became excited, directly expressing their admiration with their admiring eyes, and implicitly pretending that they did not recognize the identities of these people, and recited their favorite poems and lines, hoping that their talents would attract some great men Attention, all beings are in various states at the same time.

Nalan Rongruo looked at each other with a smile, but only greeted the scholars with a smile, then walked through the lobby surrounded by the guards, walked out of the restaurant, got on their respective carriages, and left.

The fervent scholars in Songhe Tower were suddenly full of ice and snow.

Prices in the capital are high. These scholars who come from far away may not all have money, and most of them are from very poor families. It is a lot of money for them to come to a place like Songhe Tower for a meal. It is very disappointing to be appreciated by a big man who can give a hand, and most of them are a little downcast.

At this moment, footsteps sounded again on the stairs on the second floor.

The second floor of Songhe Tower is full of Accords. If you want to eat in it, you need to make a reservation in advance, so most of the guests on the second floor are either rich or expensive.Hearing the sound of footsteps, some optimistic scholars rekindled hope: Although they did not get the appreciation of Zhu Yizun, Yan Shengsun and other literary giants, it would be the same if they were appreciated by other dignitaries.

Unexpectedly, this time, a young man in his twenties came out of the stairs leading a few servants. Although he was also very noble, everyone was a little disappointed: this young man was really too young.

But one of the well-informed among the crowd excitedly called out to the people beside him in a low voice: "That's Mr. Ran Moran, the right servant of the household department! I grew up with the Lord Long Live as a companion since I was a child, long live The big red man in front of the Lord, the real trustee of the emperor!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts became hot again: Is this the legendary Ran Shilang?This Ran Shilang not only grew up with the emperor since he was a child, he became an official until he was less than 25 years old, and became a second-rank servant. It must have a bright future, if you can have a relationship with him, the benefits will definitely be innumerable!

It's just that although everyone was eager in their hearts, no one dared to come forward to talk for a while - it was too reckless to leave a bad impression on this promising young dignitary, but the gain outweighed the loss - but Ran Mo, when he walked out, saw One of the scholars, with a dazed expression, nodded slightly to say hello.

This person is Li Qufei.
