Whether Gongsun Jing was surprised, admired, or even jealous, those were not things that Xia Jingyun cared about.
As long as Gongsun Jing is still loyal to his sister, and as long as he doesn't cause any obstacles for him, he can do whatever he wants.
He really doesn't have the heart to think about so many things right now.
Su Yuanshang and Gongsun Jing both went down. He often breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and rested.
When I opened my eyes, I was so scared that I almost lost my soul.
There was a big face in front of him, with two eyes staring straight at him.
He suddenly grabbed the tea cup at hand and was about to smash it, but suddenly he recognized the owner of the big face and stopped.
But the tea leaves and tea soup in the cup flew over without hesitation under the influence of inertia.
"what are you doing!"
The two men shouted at each other in unison.
Bai Yunbian had tea leaves hanging on his face, and tea soup was dripping down his hair. He had a sad and angry look on his face, "I came to see you with good intentions, but you threw tea in my face. How dare you ask me?"
Are you looking at me? Those who didn’t know thought he was going to kiss me!
Xia Jingyun cursed, but without much explanation, he quickly asked his servants to bring a dry cloth to wipe it, "accidental injury, accidental injury, I thought there was an assassin!"
"Should I stab you? What should I stab you with?"
Listening to Bai Yunbian's righteous words, Xia Jingyun coughed twice, "Well, let's not talk about the human body structure anymore. Why did Brother Lexian come to see me?"
Bai Yunbian asked with a straight face, "When are you going out?"
Xia Jingyun looked confused, "Didn't you just go out yesterday?"
Bai Yunbian's eyes were unkind, "Are you pretending to be stupid?"
Xia Jingyun was really confused, "I'm so stupid, oh no, I really don't know what you're talking about!"
"Have you forgotten that you are here to attend the Spring Festival?"
! ! !
Xia Jingyun suddenly realized, damn, it was true, I almost forgot.
When I arrived at Zhongjing City, I was an emperor, a noble concubine, a duke, and a minister. I almost forgot that I was just a civil servant, not even a Jinshi yet!
He could only smile bitterly and said: "Brother Lexian, just go out on your own these two days. I still have some things to do. I will come find you after I finish my work."
Xia Jingyun didn't lie, he really had a lot of things to do:
The position of captain in Jingzhao Mansion has not yet been confirmed, so I still have to try my best to seize this advantageous position;
On Jiang Yuhu's side, he was personally escorted to Beijing. He should go and thank him no matter what. Ahem, it doesn't matter whether he pays homage to the old military god to give him another backer or something. The main thing is that he is a person who knows how to repay kindness;
In addition, we have to go find Zhang Dazhi, who will be the supervisor. The way to make a lot of money in Zhongjing City depends on the general being the supervisor.
Coupled with the affairs of the new residence and Feng Xiuyun's departure from the palace, everything is really messy and waiting to be sorted out!
Bai Yunbian looked at him and said coldly: "I only took one Jieyuan test. How many Jieyuans are there in this spring, and how many top talents are gathered together. If you are careless, it is possible to fail!"
He snorted, "Don't think it's safe!"
Xia Jingyun nodded, watched Bai Yunbian go out, sighed silently, walked to the desk, and began to think about things again.
Bai Yunbian went back to his room to freshen up, and then left the Hou Mansion with his bookboy and guards.
Having had my head hanging for so many days, this is the time when I have eaten a lot of ink and am waiting to show off. How can it be in line with Mr. Bai's temperament if he doesn't show off!
Although it was a bit regretful that he couldn't avenge his shame in front of Xia Jingyun, it was enough to earn the attention of others.
The people in the Hou Mansion knew that this was the young master's distinguished guest, and they wisely arranged the carriage.
The carriage came to a main street.
This street is quite interesting. On the left side of the street is the Surabaya Guild Hall, and on the right side of the street is the Yunmeng Guild Hall.
It so happened that the two adjacent states had their general halls built facing each other.
These guild halls were under the auspices of the imperial court and funded and built by wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from various states in Zhongjing City.
It is used as an inn on weekdays, and when spring comes, you can stay in Honshu Juzi.
In the guild hall, the prices are cheap and the quality is good, and the children are taken care of very considerately.
After all, these candidates will all be officials in the future, and there is no need to explain the subtleties in them.
The carriage stopped outside the Yunmeng Guild Hall. Although the shopkeeper here didn't know much about Jiang'anhou Mansion, he recognized that this carriage was definitely not for others, so he greeted it respectfully and curiously.
When Bai Yunbian got out of the car, many Yunmengzhou's gestures suddenly looked a little excited.
Although in the past, most people in Zhouxue had been ridiculed and despised by Baiyunbian, but now, when meeting an old friend in a foreign country, this feeling suddenly became stronger.
Many people stood up and took the initiative to greet him. Only then did the shopkeeper realize that the unassuming young man in front of him was actually Yunmeng Prefecture's Jinke Jieyuan, or the son of the governor's Shi family, so he hurried forward to greet him.
Surrounded by stars like a moon in the middle, Bai Yunbian felt that this was the stage that belonged to him.
What's the point of following Xia Jingyun there and being dumbfounded every day? I'm not a girl!
After a brief greeting, a teacher from Zhou Xue who led the team hurriedly walked out. When he saw the white clouds, he felt as if he had met his savior.
"Le Xian, I heard that you came to Beijing before, but I haven't seen you in the past few days. I don't know where to go if I look for you. You are finally back!"
Bai Yunbian smiled slightly, "Beside the white clouds, the eagle flutters its wings, and it should also return to Luoyunmeng. The student is a disciple of Yunmeng Province, and he will come here to meet all his classmates. There is no need to rush to become a disciple."
"This is not something we should be anxious about!"
Cheng Jiaoyu sighed, "Do you still remember what we told you about the great chaos in the Thirteen States at Zhouxue?"
Bai Yunbian nodded repeatedly, with a rather excited look on his face, "I remember, you said that every time in the spring, all states would bring their sons to Beijing, and they would gather in each state, visit each other's houses, and do things like visit each other in the name of visiting. I was waiting for this!"
Cheng Jiaoyu nodded, "This matter was originally a fuss between a bunch of boring people, but later the court saw that it was also a literary fight. It can not only show the style of writing, but also give you people who are energetic and have nothing to do. I wanted to find something to do and kill two birds with one stone, so I acquiesced to the matter in private. Gradually, it became a routine. There are even casinos that offer odds specifically for this matter!"
Bai Yunbian's expression changed, "Is this a big fight about to begin?"
Cheng Jiaoyu's face fell, "It's not about to start, it's already started. We in Yunmengzhou have lost two games in a row."
Bai Yunbian asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say that it is usually after the Lantern Festival and before the Spring Festival? Now there are still a few days until the New Year's Day, why does it come so early?"
Cheng Jiaoyu shook his head, "This matter is nothing more than everyone's tacit understanding. But if someone breaks this tacit understanding and takes the lead, will the others stand still and wait until then to fight back?"
Only then did Bai Yunbian understand, and immediately smiled, "What do I care about? Just don't worry about the teaching."
He stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I will come, I will conquer!"
The shopkeeper and waiters on the side were dumbfounded. Cheng Jiaoyu was already used to Baiyunbian's style. "Don't be careless. During this big brawl, you can recite poems, write poems, compose poems, even compete with calligraphy, and perform drinking orders. What kind of methods are there?" There are all of them, as long as they are in line with the taste of the scholar, you will miss it if you are not careful."
He mused: "How about this? Let's choose the weakest one first and take the initiative to attack, so that we can practice with you."
Although Bai Yunbian was arrogant, he was not a fool. He knew it was a mature and prudent suggestion as soon as he heard it.
So, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Then according to the teachings, which one is suitable?"
Cheng Jiaoyu did not hesitate and pointed directly to the opposite side, "Sishui Prefecture, they have lost three games in a row."
puff.
Bai Yunbian took a sip of tea.
