The two lowered their heads to talk, and several people came in. They were well-dressed and domineering, and they seemed to be the rich and powerful officials of Lin'an City.
The other guests quickly shut up and turned to other topics. Several dudes glanced at the lobby and headed upstairs.
"Isn't that Wei Jinyu and Zhen Zhidao!"
Du Shu looked up and gave way to the two dandies, and immediately shouted.
"Zhen Yanei, Wei Yanei!"
Hearing someone shouting, Zhen Zhidao and Wei Jinyu both stopped.
"Yu Jie, Du Shu, you are here too!"
Wei Jinyu was also hanging out in Taixue and knew both Yu Jie and Du Shu. However, relying on his father's influence, he spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. He just gave up his life.
"Zhen Yanei, Wei Yanei, you big bags, servants and entourage, are you going to go sightseeing?"
Yu Jie snorted coldly, looking down on his classmates and old acquaintances.
This truly virtuous and virtuous young man went to Fujian to become a minor official. He got used to living and drinking, and couldn't bear the loneliness, so he resigned and ran back to Lin'an.
Anyway, his father was in power at the time, so he was not short of money, enough for him to eat, drink and have fun.
There is also Wei Jinyu, the youngest son of Wei Liaoweng, the minister of the Ministry of War. He spends three days fishing and two days drying nets.
Wei Jinyu's brother-in-law, An Gongxing, the transfer envoy on Tongchuanfu Road in Sichuan, was from a prominent family in Sichuan, and was a corrupt official who made people angry. I wonder if the emperor will deal with him?
Enmeng became an official, how could these dandies have such good luck?
"Brother Yu, you are still so arrogant and talkative!"
Zhenzhidao smiled slightly and said gently.
He has a good temper and knows that Yu Jie has an arrogant temper, but he is magnanimous and does not care about his ridicule.
"Lao Yu, can you please speak nicely? We are going to apply for the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall. You'd better stay in Lin'an and sacrifice your life doing your shit!"
Zhen Zhidao has a gentle and cowardly personality, but Wei Jinyu is a brawler. He is proud and retaliates unceremoniously.
"You want to apply for the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall? Is it just you?"
Yu Jie couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Zhen Zhidao and Wei Jinyu in disbelief.
They also want to apply for the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall? Is the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall a place for harboring filth and evil? Why do you accept all the scumbags?
Having said that, it seems certain that Jinling Martial Arts Hall was founded and recruited students.
Yu Jie's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's just us! The two heroes of Lin'an! Can't we?"
Wei Jin stared blankly and said angrily.
During this time, he has been studying and practicing martial arts, but he has worked hard to ensure that he can be admitted to the Jinling Martial Arts Hall.
Of course, he didn't want to be looked down upon by these people and laughed at.
"Brother Yu, Brother Du, we will leave in a while and have a meal together. Just treat it as a farewell for us!"
Zhenzhidao chuckled, came over and grabbed Yu Jie and Du Shu, and walked upstairs together.
The emperor wants to recruit 200 officials and officials from Lin'an City to enter the Jinling Military Academy. Although he has no special skills, he has some knowledge of civil and military affairs. With his father in power, he should have no problem entering the Jinling Military Academy.
If you really can't get into the Jinling Martial Arts Hall, it's not bad to go to the Jinling University Hall, as it's lively enough anyway.
"As promised, your treat. We can't afford the drinks!"
Yu Jie half-nudging, half-talking, not shameless at all.
"Let's go! Just your iron cock!"
Wei Jinyu said harshly and followed with a dark face.
"Both yamenei, I wish you a bright future and a safe journey!"
In the pavilion on the second floor, several people sat around the table. Yu Jie was the first to raise his wine glass.
They are all young people with bold temperaments, and they are immediately happy.
"Two of you, I wish you can sneak into the Jinling Martial Arts Hall as soon as possible and make a difference!"
Du Shu smiled broadly and raised his wine glass.
With these two yamen, he can save money and worry, and can eat and drink freely.
"It's not about sneaking into the Jinling Lecture Hall, it's about being admitted to the Jinling Lecture Hall! Just watch with your eyes wide open!"
Wei Jinyu raised his glass and added with a buzz.
"Okay, get admitted to the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall! Make great contributions and serve the country and the people. Come and do it!"
The four people raised their wine glasses and clinked them together.
"Brother, what does this Jinling Martial Arts Hall look like? Do you know?"
Yu Jie put down the wine glass and asked curiously.
He studied hard while living in poverty and traveled all the way from his hometown. He had not yet read the imperial decree on the martial arts hall. Although the Lin'an Prefecture has already issued a government order, the various government offices will not convey the imperial order regarding the Lecture Hall and Jinling Academy until after the Lantern Festival.
"Brothers, have you heard this song?"
Zhenzhidao took over the conversation and started singing proudly, tapping the teacup with his chopsticks.
“The Great Wall will never fall.
The Yellow River is surging for thousands of miles.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, with colorful peaks and ridges.
Ask me if my country is infected with the disease
………”
"This is……"
Wei Jinyu's singing voice was unpleasant, but the lyrics were refreshing to Yu Jie's ears. Her blood boiled in her chest and her face turned red.
The Great Wall, the Yellow River, the National Renaissance...
I go!
They are all lost hometowns, and every sentence spoke to his heart.
"Listen carefully, this is the school song of Jinling Martial Arts Hall, the Great Wall will never fall!"
Wei Jinyu couldn't wait to take over the conversation, and started talking with great interest.
"Jinling Martial Arts Hall was founded by the emperor himself. It has the school motto, school emblem, school anthem, and school flag. The emperor served as the principal of the Martial Arts Hall, and my father was the vice-principal. The Jinling Martial Arts Hall was located in the Jinling Palace. It was the first We will recruit 1,200 trainees per semester. The semester lasts for one year, and after graduation, they will be assigned to the military as mid- to low-level officers."
1,200 people, graduates will be officers!
Yu Jie and Du Shu looked at each other, their hearts beating fast.
The Jinling Palace was changed to the Jinling Lecture Hall, and the emperor became the principal of the Lecture Hall. This was the first time in history.
"You two, actually I really want to know, why don't you go to that Jinling University Hall or the Song Dynasty Naval Academy, but instead go to the Jinling Martial Arts School?"
Yu Jie couldn't help but asked again.
Jinling Martial Arts Hall, as the name suggests, trains officers for the Song Dynasty army. These two dudes should go to Jinling University Hall, where it is easier to get along, instead of Jinling Martial Arts Hall.
However, "My father is the vice principal", just by saying this, Wei Jinyu was able to enter the Jinling Martial Arts Hall.
"Two brothers, the job of Jinling University is to be an official, with high official status, great salary, glory and wealth. The job of Jinling Martial Arts School is to join the army, to be wrapped in horse leather and to fight fiercely on the battlefield. You two are well-dressed people, why bother to give up the easy job and accept the hard job?"
Du Shu ate and drank with the two of them, speaking frankly.
The nobles and nobles in the court have always been full of scholars. A rich and powerful playboy actually chooses to join the army. This is the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"A summer insect cannot speak of ice. Do you think anyone is willing to stay cowardly for the rest of their lives?"
Wei Jinyu drank a glass of wine and stared at the two of them, generous and heroic.
"You two don't know something. The current emperor has great talents and great plans. First he has the "Tatar Policy", then the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall and the Naval Academy, and then he transfers the imperial army in front of the palace to the border army. The emperor must reorganize his military equipment and restore the Central Plains. Do you think it’s about making meritorious deeds on the battlefield and fighting with iron horses, or about being a well-behaved and plain-spoken clerk?”
Wei Jinyu's words made Yu Jie and Yu Jie stand in awe. No one thought that this Wei Jinyu was still a passionate and ambitious man.
"Brother Wei, my words just now offended me. I will apologize to you, brother!"
Yu Jie and Du Shu handed over their hands together and apologized to Wei Jinyu.
"Nothing, no need to make a fuss."
Wei Jinyu waved his hand, feeling extremely satisfied psychologically.
To be recognized by others, this is what he wants.
"Don't look at me, I don't care, as long as the brothers are together. However, the Naval Academy is the Navy, and I still want to be a warrior and an iron horse, and the yellow sand is thousands of miles away, even if it is a supply of supplies and auxiliary troops. The vast desert, the endless grassland, I want to visit the northern part of the Western Region."
Zhenzhidao laughed and said, heartless.
He went to Fujian and worked as a local official. He had nothing to do all day and was too bored, so he abandoned his official position and ran back.
However, only rich and powerful children like him have the right and capital to choose. As for the poor, don’t even think about it.
"Two brothers, the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall only recruits 1,200 people. There are so many heroes in the entire Song Dynasty No. 17, can you two pass?"
Du Shu started to eat and drink, apparently because he was worried about Zhen Zhidao and Wei Jinyu, but in fact he himself was already moved.
His father has been very strict with him since he was a child, and he has never been delayed in studying and practicing boxing. Although he was interested in passing the Jinling Martial Arts Academy, he was not sure whether he wanted to take the exam or whether he could pass it.
It's fine for these two dandy boys to treat them to a meal, but going to the Jinling Martial Arts Hall to take the exam would be a bit overwhelming.
Yu Jie glanced at his uneasy friend and smiled slightly.
Needless to say, Du Shu was already moved.
Not only was Du Shu moved, but he himself was also ready to move.
"I can ride a horse and shoot archery, and I can read and write. If I go to Jinling City to practice for a while, I should be fine."
Although Wei Jinyu was a little uncertain, he still had the most basic confidence.
When it comes to horseback riding and archery, only young men from wealthy families like them have the financial and material resources to support their practice. If ordinary people can dance with guns and sticks, it is more difficult to practice riding and shooting than reaching the sky.
He can ride horses, shoot arrows, and know how to use swords, guns, and sticks. He has been reading and writing since he was a child. This is one of the reasons why Wei Jinyu has confidence in himself.
"Lao Wei and I are the same. It's just that we have been idle for a while. There is still more than a month before the Jinling Martial Arts Hall entrance examination. If I practice hard, there should be no problem."
Zhen Shidao chuckled, feeling a little lack of confidence.
He doesn't have to worry about knowledge. The key is that he still has to practice with swords, guns and sticks. However, if you fail to get into the Jinling Martial Arts School, you will have to go to the Song Dynasty Naval Academy or the Jinling University School, even though that is the last option.
Wei Jinyu looked at Yu Jie and Du Shu and couldn't help but be enthusiastic.
"Lao Yu, Lao Du, you two are both talented in both civil and military skills, and have great ambitions. With your talents, let's go to Jinling to apply for the martial arts hall together. If you stay in Taixue, when will you become a leader? Do you have the patience? ?"
"That's it, two brothers, go to the Jinling Martial Arts Hall to try your luck together. The brothers have a lot of fun together, and they will be colleagues in the army in the future. If you stay in Taixue, you still don't know when you will have the opportunity. Think about it!"
Although Wei Jinyu and Zhen Zhidao were both playboys, they were not bad at heart and both were honest men. They worked in tandem to persuade Yu Jie and the others.
The world of young people is always full of enthusiasm and goodwill.
"Brothers, you go first. Even if the two of us are going, we still have to clean up!"
Yu Jie laughed and said, her heart was itching and she had already moved.
The emperor is the principal, and the palace in Jinling is used as a martial arts lecture hall. It sounds very high-end, and it would be strange not to go!
"We agreed, see you at the Jinling Martial Arts Hall then!"
Wei Jinyu was very interested and immediately picked up the wine glass.
"Don't worry! As long as you are the host of this table of food and wine, Lao Yu and I will go and order it!"
Du Shu took a big bite and picked up the wine glass.
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Everyone picked up their wine glasses and clinked them together.
Several people talked about speculation in high spirits and saliva flew everywhere. The waiter on the side listened and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
The children of the rich and powerful went to Jinling one after another, and the business of this restaurant could only get worse day by day.
