For the next seven or eight days, Xia Jingyun did not see Qin Li again.
First, he was busy and had neither time nor the nerve to go to Mingyu Tower;
Secondly, Qin Li probably didn't think about how to face him, so the man and woman, who had already become somewhat ambiguous, suddenly entered an awkward period.
But this is just a thin barrier. Once you think about it and break it down, everything will be easy to talk about.
Qin Li did not show up, but the Qin family sent people to the Hou Mansion every day. Today he sent some money, tomorrow he discussed business, he was invited to a banquet the day after, and he sent an ancient book the day after that. There were people hanging around Xia Jingyun every day, like I remind him every day that we are not kidding, please think about it carefully!
Then, with a lot of confusion in his mind, Xia Jingyun saw a person who almost thought he had disappeared from the Hou Mansion.
Xia Jingyun looked at the thick dark circles on Bai Yunbian's face with a look of surprise on his face, "What have you been doing these days? Why are you more haggard than when you stayed up late to prepare for the exam?"
Bai Yunbian sat down on the chair and said, "What else can you do? I think I'm just singing and drinking, being free and unrestrained!"
Xia Jingyun clicked his tongue and said, "You didn't do anything else?"
Bai Yunbian chuckled, thinking of those charming girls, and showed a knowing expression.
Seeing this idiot, Xia Jingyun rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "Then why are you coming back?"
Bai Yunbian picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip slowly, "Isn't this the adult education edict that came to stop me? It said that we should rest for a few days. It will be the day when the results are released soon. It's time to study hard. There is also the palace examination."
Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "You guys are so obedient? If you become a Jinshi, you are even more powerful than Cheng Jiayu."
"There's no way!" Bai Yunbian smiled, "Although a genius like this young master must be easy to pick up, but Cheng Jiaozhi has been kind and persuasive, so we can't disobey him if we don't hit the smiling person with our hands. "
Xia Jingyun nodded, "Yes, you are indeed a soft-spoken person."
Bai Yunbian pursed his lips, "Isn't this normal? It's a woman's job to eat hard."
? ? ?
Xia Jingyun blinked and twitched the corners of his mouth, "You've been really good at it these days!"
Bai Yunbian chuckled, and then slowly put away his smile, "But to be honest, you should go to the guild hall when you have time. Now there are some people saying that you don't look down on your old classmates now that you are so successful."
Xia Jingyun thought for a while and nodded.
It's not that he really cares about these rumors, but Bai Yunbian's words really reminded him that Zhou Xue also had a kindness to teach him, and he should pay his respects to him emotionally and rationally.
From a utilitarian point of view, today is an era that pays attention to morality, and people with moral mistakes are easily attacked. And these students will play a big role in the officialdom in the future. There is no need to be stingy with a little time and commit suicide. To the classmates.
"Okay, let's go to the guild hall tomorrow and talk to the teachers and classmates."
Early the next morning, a carriage set off from the main entrance and went to the Surabaya Guild Hall.
After a few days, the excitement in front of the Hou Mansion finally subsided. Although it was still crowded, it was much calmer and orderly than the initial madness.
Xia Jingyun no longer has to sneak out through the back door.
When I arrived at the Sishui Guild Hall, I happened to meet a few students from Sishui Prefecture walking out. When I saw Xia Jingyun, I subconsciously wanted to say hello, but my eyes and steps suddenly hesitated. After thinking about it, I turned around and entered the guild hall.
Xia Jingyun was slightly embarrassed, and Bai Yunbian on the side responded mercilessly, "Look, people don't dare to treat you as a classmate anymore."
When I walked into the club, I looked at him one after another. They all looked hesitant and didn't dare to say hello.
Just as Xia Jingyun was about to take the initiative to speak, there was a sound of footsteps and a figure rushed towards him.
It was also Chen Fugui's good eyesight that recognized Xu Dapeng, otherwise he would have kicked him back.
"Gao Yang! You are finally here!"
Xu Dapeng gave him a bear hug, as carefree as ever.
Xia Jingyun didn't show any displeasure, and said with a happy smile: "I was busy the past few days, so I didn't come to see you. I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he bowed to Zeng Jimin who was following Xu Dapeng and said, "Brother Zize, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look good!"
Zeng Jimin smiled and said: "Drinking and sex hurt people. If you exercise some restraint, you will naturally look better."
Seeing their smiling faces, the officials in the guild hall finally felt relieved and stepped forward one after another to say hello to Xia Jingyun.
Xia Jingyun naturally responded with a smile, and the atmosphere in the venue was harmonious.
At this time, Xu Jiaoyu from Sishui Prefecture came out. After an overly enthusiastic chat with Xia Jingyun, he opened his mouth and said, "Don't just stand there. Come on, put the table together, and let's sit down and chat."
Everyone started working immediately. Xia Jingyun pulled Xu Dapeng's arm and whispered: "Thank you!"
Xu Dapeng chuckled and winked, but said nothing.
Just as everyone sat down, the governors from Yunmengzhou across the way heard the commotion and came over.
Seeing this, Xu Jiaoyu couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You picked the time well and waited for us to arrange the seats before coming, right?"
Cheng Jiaoyu from Yunmengzhou opposite said with a smile: "According to what you said, we should wait until the food and drinks are served! Haha!"
After finishing the instruction, he led everyone in Yunmengzhou to greet Xia Jingyun.
Naturally, Xia Jingyun didn't pretend to be loud, and returned the greetings in a gentle and polite manner.
After all this fuss was over, everyone sat down again.
Before my butt could warm the stool, a few more people walked in from the door.
When everyone saw it, oh!
Aren't these some famous talents from Longshou Prefecture, Sixiang Prefecture and other places in Jinke?
"Brother Mingde!"
"Brother Danqiu!"
Everyone stood up quickly, and after a brief salute, those few people immediately came to Xia Jingyun.
"Longshouzhou raised his son in Daoxing, named Danqiu. I met Brother Xia."
"Tong Xingrui, the son of Sixiang Prefecture, named Zixiang, has met Brother Xia."
"Baikang Prefecture Juzi"
Seeing this scene, Xu Jiaoyu from Sishui Prefecture suddenly felt a little sore in his nose.
When did Sishui Prefecture, which has always been ranked low in the civil affairs of various states, be so prosperous that it can attract the best officials from each state to take the initiative to visit.
With this scene, this trip is not empty, not empty!
Most of the other candidates in Sishui Prefecture were also proud of you. They sat up straight and puffed up their chests inadvertently.
The reason why I say "most" is because at this moment there are still seven or eight people sitting in the room who have not come out. They are just looking at the excitement in the lobby from a distance through the window with a look of disdain.
These people are Cheng Ziyun and others who previously slandered Xia Jingyun.
"You talk about talented scribes, but in the end they are not just a bunch of villains who follow the trend."
"Look at their flattering faces, there's no trace of a scholar at all!"
"Let me tell you, these people are all short-sighted! Even though Xia Jingyun has gained some momentum thanks to Concubine De, Concubine De doesn't dare to cheat in the scientific examination, right? He just doesn't do anything serious every day. How can I still get good grades in the exam?"
"Yes. First, I was imprisoned in Heibingtai Prison for so long. I only prepared for two days when I came out. Then I spent the whole day not doing my job and gaining fame. It's no wonder that I did well in the exam!"
"That makes sense. When I saw it, he was at the bottom of the exam, or even failed directly. How could these people still be smiling so happily! Will they be ashamed of their flattery today!"
These people are like ostriches in an enclosure. They talk to each other and encourage each other by slandering others and staying together to keep each other warm.
The chat below also continued, with everyone laughing and chatting about ancient and modern times.
Suddenly a young man said, "Brother Xia, how did you do in the Spring Examination this time?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally lively table suddenly became quiet.
