The opening of the small restaurant was not lively, almost silent.But the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, those who have eaten by chance have become repeat customers, and even invited friends to come over.

Meng Xiangbei went into the kitchen when he was free and became the chef. Because the kitchen was closed, the guests didn't know that the chef was Meng Jieyuan.

As far as the most concerned thing in the capital is concerned, it is undoubtedly the upcoming exam. He went to the Tianzi Hall as Tian Shelang and went to the Tianzi Hall in the evening, and studied hard for ten years, in order to be able to get a title on the gold list one day.

Jieyuan from each province is the most likely candidate to become a member, or even the champion.

During the 20 years since Zhuangyuan Restaurant opened in the capital, four champions have lived here, so the name Zhuangyuan Restaurant is worthy of its name.

Before each examination, the champion restaurant will announce the top candidates for each champion, and also set up a gambling game.

At this time, paintings hung prominently in the lobby of the Zhuangyuan Restaurant, which were the portraits of Jieyuan from each province this year, as well as their brief introductions.

"I think the champion this time must be Chen Gengyi from Sichuan Province. His father was the champion back then, and he is the son of the champion."

"I've heard about Ye Han and Ye Jieyuan from Yue Province. I heard that he is a romantic and talented man, and he even worshiped a great Confucian as his teacher."

"Brother, why did you buy this Meng Jieyuan? You bought it wrong. He came from a poor family. Although he has the reputation of a child prodigy, he failed the talent examination many times before. Just like Zhong Yong, his talents have long been exhausted. It is really impossible to get a title on the gold list. "

"Qian does not agree with this brother's words. Although this Meng Xiangbei has repeatedly failed in the talent examination, but now he is the first in the intermediate court examination, and he is a province. He must have accumulated a lot of money."

"Why do you analyze so much, I bought him because he is the youngest and most handsome of all Xie Yuanli."

"This Meng Jieyuan is married and has a son, brother, could it be that he still wants his father to catch his son-in-law and marry his sister to him?"

As the examination approached, candidates from all over the country came to the capital one after another.

Except for Meng Xiangbei, all Xie Yuan from other provinces showed their faces, so this "accumulated and thinly developed" Meng Jieyuan seemed even more mysterious.

Meng Xiangbei also heard from Liang Xuezheng's son that he had caused heated discussions in the capital.

Liang Xuezheng's son, Liang Tai, also participated in the examination.

One day, Meng Xiangbei asked Liang Xuezheng for advice, and when he was about to leave, Liang Tai stopped him.

"Brother Meng, tonight my classmate and friend held a literary meeting in Cuiyu Building. Let's discuss and exchange a few things. I wonder if Brother Meng can give me the face to go together."

Talented scholars in the capital are benefited, and large and small cultural gatherings are held every day. In the past, Liangtai also invited them, but Meng Xiangbei refused for various reasons.

To Meng Xiangbei, the so-called literary meeting was almost like socializing. He didn't like it. Instead of going to the literary meeting, he might as well go home to accompany his pregnant brother Qing.

Probably because he guessed that Meng Xiangbei would refuse, Liang Tai sincerely invited again, "Brother Meng, you haven't gone before, but this time you have to go no matter what. I promised my classmates and friends that they all want to go." See Brother Meng's demeanor. Brother Meng, just agree."

Meng Xiangbei hesitated. Liang Tai had indeed invited many times, and it was really not good for him to refuse each time. After looking at the sky, he compromised, "Okay, then I'll go, by the way, I'll write a letter to you. My husband, tell him I will be late."

Liang Tai knew before that Meng Xiangbei liked his husband very much, and even had a faint "fear of guilt", and he would go home on time every time, so as not to worry her husband.Once, Liangtai's distant cousin met Meng Xiangbei by chance, fell in love with him, and planned to marry Meng Xiangbei as a concubine, but was flatly rejected by Meng Xiangbei.

Liang Tai didn't understand, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four attendants, but Meng Xiangbei doesn't take concubines, it must be that husband is jealous.Liang Tai prides himself on being romantic. He had a Tongfang at the age of 14, took two concubines at the age of 16, and married his husband at the age of 19. But now he is 25 years old, and there are four Tongfangs and eight concubines in the yard. The husband, except for the husband he didn't like and had to marry, all of them were as beautiful as a flower.

He also often hangs around the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and his husband and concubine dare not say anything, but Meng Xiangbei not only does not take concubines, sometimes he invites him to the Xiaoguan Pavilion, but he refuses to go. At first, Liang Tai thought that It was Meng Xiangbei who kept his life clean. Now that I think about it, it should be that husband who is jealous.It's not good to be jealous of your husband.

Meng Xiangbei handed the letter to Liang Tai one second, and the next second, the letter was thrown aside.

Cuiyu Building, when Meng Xiangbei and Liangtai arrived, there were already a dozen people gathered on the second floor, wearing Confucian robes and scarves. Drinking and talking and laughing, the eyebrows are full of elegance.

"Brother Liang is here." One exclaimed happily.

Liang Tai cupped his hands and introduced, "Everyone, this is Brother Meng Xiangbei, who is also my father's disciple."

"It turned out to be Brother Meng, Meng Jieyuan, who has admired his name for a long time."

"It's really lucky to finally be able to see Brother Meng today."

"Zhou has admired Brother Meng for a long time, and Brother Meng came here today, we will not return drunk."

"..."

Meng Xiangbei was surrounded and sat down, with a calm expression on his face, and glanced at the crowd of seeking students around him from the corner of his eye.

"Brother Meng, these are all my classmates and friends in the Imperial College..." Liang Tai introduced them one by one, and the one he introduced was a young man named Du Jin who was dressed in brocade.This man's father is the Jijiu of the Guozijian, he is a Beijing official, and his rank is higher than Liang Xuezheng, so he is a good friend of Liangtai.

This literary conference was also organized by Du Jin.

The scholars around probably knew Du Jin's identity, and there was no lack of flattery in their words.

"Since everyone is here, how about we start the literary meeting?" Du Jin smiled while shaking his jade fan.

Du Jin was handsome, and his words and deeds were full of flair.

He raised his head and glanced lazily at the young man next to him, who immediately understood.

The fragrant wind suddenly picked up, and a dozen or so young young men in cool clothes walked towards them, all of them were good-looking, charming, pure, or as cool and elegant as orchids...

The leading young man was wearing a crimson robe, hanging loosely on his body, with only a white belt tied around his slender waist.

His black hair was like a waterfall, half of which was tied with a red ribbon. His appearance was exquisite and gorgeous, with flowing smoke and waves, full of coquettishness, and the brows were full of charming colors.The crimson robe was slightly opened, revealing the jade-like white and tender skin inside.

When the boys came out, Meng Xiangbei heard the sound of the scholar swallowing his saliva.

Meng Xiangbei frowned, he had rejected Liang Tai several times before to come to the Qinglou Chuguan, but he didn't expect that the Cuiyulou he came to this time was a teahouse on the surface, but it was actually doing this kind of business.

Being deceived by Liang Tai, Meng Xiangbei couldn't help being a little annoyed, and the already calm expression on his face became a little colder.

"Mr. Du." The delicate and soft voice seemed to be coquettish, which made people's heart itch. Zhou Qing'er leaned against Du Jin's back softly, with her chin lightly resting on his shoulder.

"You little goblin." Du Jin took Zhou Qing'er's little hand and pulled it hard, and the charming boy fell into his arms.

"Young Master Du, you don't even know how much Qing'er misses you." Zhou Qing'er sat on Du Jin's lap, wrapped his hands around his neck, and winked like silk.

The other young ladies also smiled and sat down beside the scholars.

There was also a young lady sitting next to Meng Xiangbei.

"My name is Huan'er. I don't know what this son's name is?" The handsome young man smiled sweetly at Meng Xiangbei, with two dimples, picked up his wine glass, and leaned into Meng Xiangbei's arms.

Meng Xiangbei's face was cold, his eyelids were lifted lazily, and he glanced lightly. The indifference inside instantly made the boy's expression stiff, and he didn't dare to get any closer.

"Don't come near me." Meng Xiangbei warned, not intending to take the wine glass from the young man.

The young man bit his lip and sat back again, glanced at the handsome and cold person beside him from the corner of his eye, at a loss for what to do.

Being rejected by people, I saw a lot in the small men's house. There are some people who said no at first, but refused indifferently, but how many people can resist the beauty, and how many men don't steal.

The young man was not reconciled, he approached tentatively, his red lips parted slightly, "Master, I..."

Meng Xiangbei glanced coolly again, Huan'er was stuck in all the next words, her little heart trembled, woo woo, it was so scary.

On the side, Liang Tai was holding a young man's waist with one hand, drinking wine with the other, and turned his head to glance at Meng Xiangbei.I saw Meng Xiangbei not looking sideways, with an indifferent expression, eating food leisurely, and the young lady sitting next to him was obedient, wanting to get close but not daring.

"Brother Meng, why do you only eat vegetables? If you don't like this, I'll change it for you."

"No need, probably there will be no literature meeting today, so I'll go back first." Meng Xiangbei didn't have any familiarity with Liangtai before, and he put down his chopsticks.

"What, Brother Meng, you want to leave? That's not okay. Today there is a literary society, but it is more interesting to match the literary society with beautiful women. Don't underestimate them. Although they came from brothels and Chu houses, they are also proficient in Calligraphy and painting, just like Qing'er next to me, he is a master, Qing'er, go, talk to Brother Meng, Brother Meng is Xie Yuan from Linchuan Province, the candidate for the new champion this time." Du Jin squeezed Zhou Qing'er's tender waist on her lower body.

Zhou Qing'er raised her beautiful eyes, and her eyes fell on Meng Xiangbei who was opposite, her eyes brightened slightly.

The man was handsome and indifferent, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. Even though he was only wearing a simple blue Confucian robe, he still looked dignified. This was a temperament that Zhou Qing'er had never seen in Du Jin.

A provincial Jieyuan, the champion candidate, aloof and talented, I heard that there is a husband in the family, who is clean and self-sufficient.Zhou Qinger's heart itch more and more, if such a man can be obsessed with him...

Zhou Qing'er got up and walked towards Meng Xiangbei.

Here, Liang Tai is introducing Zhou Qing'er to Meng Xiangbei.

Zhou Qing'er, the number one oiran in the capital, is beautiful and charming. As long as he sees men, he is all overwhelmed by him. Meet him, and have a dewy marriage with him again.

"...Brother Meng, you don't know that Zhou Qing'er's taste this week is simply amazing."
