Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the fourteenth year of Yuanjing, spring, Beijing.

    "Teacher, I'll just take a carriage, if you don't listen to me,"

    "What's the matter if I don't listen to you? How can I be late with this old man?"

    "you are right!"

    "Zining, you just don't want to go on foot. Mr. Shi gave you lectures along the way, why don't you thank you sir!"

    These three people are Meng Xia, Bai Changgeng and Shi Kan who came to Beijing to rush for the exam.

    Bai Changgeng was worried, after all, the capital city was no better than Qianzhou, the water here was very deep, and there was Meng Yu and Su Tan on the other side of Qianzhou, so there would be no big waves for a while, so he would go back after completing the tasks that Meng Yu had entrusted to him  .

    According to Meng Xia's thinking, Shi Kan didn't need to accompany him to Beijing, but the old man was stubborn and insisted on holding the show after he finished the Chunwei exam.

    The capital city is indeed much more prosperous than Qianzhou. Looking around, there are many palaces and halls, and the streets are crowded with people, and the sounds of selling are full of ears.

    Shi Kan separated from the two first and went back to Qingshan Academy.

    Meng Xia and the two found an inn called Kemanlou to stay in, just because Bai Changgeng said that it was one of the few inns in the capital that did not belong to Jinyulou.

    "Zining, I still have some things to do. You can take a stroll by yourself and don't cause any trouble. This is the capital city, and there are so many experts here. Second Uncle, I dare not keep you safe."

    "I know, Second Uncle, don't worry, I'll go and see what snacks are available, and bring some back to Jin'er then. Alright, Second Uncle, I'm leaving, go get busy."

    Bai Changgeng shook his head helplessly, and walked outside.

    Seeing that Bai Changgeng had left, Meng Xia let out a long beard, and the second uncle finally left.  Along the way, Bai Changgeng and Shi Kan gave him some lectures. Shi Kan was fine, mostly because of the pleasant customs, human geography and so on.  Bai Changgeng is not the case, whenever Meng Xia is distracted, Bai Changgeng will inevitably be nagging.

    There is still one day before the Chunwei Examination, Meng Xia is going to get his ID card first, and then go to visit the most prosperous city in Dachu.

    The place to collect the ID card is just outside the Imperial College, not far from the inn where Meng Xia lives.

    Because the exam was approaching, when Meng Xia came, there were not many people around.

    Meng Xia pushed open the door and took a look, good guy, there are only two or three people in the room, including the officials who issued the signs.

    Meng Xia stepped forward, took out the official document and handed it to the official,

    "My lord, the students are here to collect their badges."

    "Why did you go so early, you have to come here now?"

    The little official looked impatient, and did not reach out to receive the official document, but poured himself a pot of tea slowly.

    "With such a small monthly salary, the work is still so tiring, alas."

    As soon as Meng Xia heard it, he understood that the little official wanted to benefit from him. Meng Xia laughed it off, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it silently into the little official's hand, and gave him a look that you know.

    The little official immediately became active after receiving the silver ingot, and gave Meng Xia a sensible look. He reached out to take the official document, quickly went to the stage, searched for Meng Xia's ID card, and took Meng Xia's ID card without spending too much time.  found it,

    "Here, take your ID card, the first subject will start tomorrow morning, don't be too late."

    The little official reminded me for the sake of silver ingots.

    Meng Xia nodded his thanks, put his ID card away, and left the Imperial College.

    The little official here weighed the silver ingot in his hand, it was quite heavy.  At this time, the old official who was resting on the side opened his eyes, and said to the young official, "This is quite filial? Which family's tribute is this?"

    What happened just now was seen in the eyes of the old official, but he didn't say anything. After all, this is their unspoken rule. Every year, those who come later to get their ID cards need to pay them some money. This is the only way they can.  It's a place to fish for oil and water.

    The little official took the official document brought by Meng Xia to the old official,

    "Mengxia in Ganzhou, hehe, I didn't notice just now, this Mengxia is Jieyuan from Qianzhou. It's not bad, and it's very generous!" The small official commented complacently.

    When the old official heard this, he quickly opened the official document in his hand, looked at it carefully, and his face suddenly turned pale.

    The little official at the side was very good at observing words and expressions, and when he saw the old official's expression was not good, he sensed something was wrong, and quickly asked: "What's the matter, old Liu? Is there anything wrong? This official document cannot be fake, right?  ¡±

    The old official known as Lao Liu raised his head with fear on his face, "You really caused a big disaster!"

    When the little official heard this, his complexion became bad,?Thisis the official document true or false?  !  Impossible, this official seal is on the website, and it has a strong official atmosphere, it cannot be faked!  "

    Old Liu slapped the little official on the back of the head suddenly, "What does it have to do with official documents! That's Jieyuan, Qianzhou! The third son of the Zhenbei Houfu! When the rankings were released in various places last year, the adults specifically mentioned, what are you doing with your brain?  !"

    The little official heard the silver ingot in his hand fall to the ground with a "clang", but the little official reacted quickly, picked up the silver ingot, and was about to go out to chase Meng Xia.

    Old Liu grabbed him back, "Why are you going!?"

    "Chasing, apologizing and paying back the silver, do I still dare to keep this silver ingot?"

    Old Liu didn't let go, and pressed the little official on the stool, "Since he gave it to you, it means that he doesn't care about this matter. If you go to him now, don't you take off your pants and fart! Next time  Just put the bright spots on it, otherwise, if you run into something hard, don¡¯t implicate me!"

    After hearing this, the little official thought it made sense, so he sat down too, but his twitching back and forth also betrayed his uneasiness.

    Meng Xia didn't expect that so many things happened at the registration office after he left. He didn't care much about the petty official who blocked him just now. Although it was bad in his opinion, there was no need to worry about it, because it allowed him to pass  The most efficient way to get things done.

    He walked to Gutan Street, which is the most prosperous street in the capital, a few streets away from where he lived.  Looking for delicious food is only one aspect of it, and the other is that this street is basically the business of Jinyulou.

    Meng Xia didn't want to live in Jinyulou's inn because he was very resistant to Jinyulou, and the Seven Monsters of Huangshan had reported to him that someone would attack him.  Excluding him has entered the eyes of some people, maybe they will take some opportunity to get rid of him, and Jin Yulou must have played some role in it.

    Besides, even if Jinyulou didn't do anything to Meng Xia, Meng Xia didn't plan to let Jinyulou go. Meng Xia didn't forget those children who were abducted back then.  However, Meng Xia didn't think too much about it, he took it one step at a time, after all, it was within his plan to become an official in the court, and only by becoming an official in the court could he quickly cultivate a noble spirit.  Then it will be a matter of time before the king of Qin and Jin Yulou confront each other.
