"Master? Are you kidding me? Do you dare to accept this token of the Holy Son? Master Xuezheng?"
Li Wenbo was stunned.
He was worried that the academic master would think that Lin was provoking his dignity.
"You shouldn't dare!"
Lin Yi thought for a while, then took the jade pendant given by the dean of Junji Academy in his hand and said, "What about this?"
"..."
Li Wenbo really didn't know what to say.
These two tokens, taken out at random, can overwhelm all the generous gifts for today's banquet.
absolute!
But... this is not a good gift!
…
"Li Wenbo!"
At this moment, a voice sounded not far away.
A young man holding a folding fan and wearing a white Confucian shirt walked over with a strange smile on his face.
Behind him were several young men in Confucian shirts and an old man in green clothes.
"Su Tong!"
Li Wenbo frowned, did not give the other party a good look, and said in a deep voice: "Is something wrong?"
Lin Yi turned around and looked.
The young man in Confucian shirt named Su Tong had good features and handsome features, and there were several scholars following him behind him.
He's a character!
But the old man in green behind Su Tong made Lin Yi have a special feeling.
at this time.
The old man in green seemed to have noticed Lin Yi's gaze. He turned around and saw that at that moment...
A cold breath came over.
Lin Yi felt Wen Gong tremble slightly, and then the breath disappeared.
'This old man's aura is too cold. He doesn't look like a literary monk, but more like someone who practices Yin Shen...'
Lin Yi had such speculation in his mind.
And this time.
When Su Tong came to Li Wenbo, he glanced at Lin Yi but didn't pay too much attention.
"I'm just curious!"
Su Tong looked at Li Wenbo and said with a half-smile: "You, a bachelor of Pingzhou Academy who is not enrolled in the Holy Academy, are also among the people invited by the Master of Academic Affairs?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
Li Wenbo didn't want to pay attention to Su Tong at all, and said to Lin Yi on the side: "Master, let's go and ignore this lunatic!"
"Master?"
Snapped!
Su Tong closed his folding fan and looked at Lin Yi in surprise.
This boy, who looks much younger than Li Wenbo, is not Li Wenbo's pupil.
Instead, Li Wenbo is his book boy?
Lin Yi and Li Wenbo walked towards the door of the restaurant, and the bachelor who checked their identities stopped them.
"identity!"
"Pingzhou Academy Lin Yi!"
"Li Wenbo of Pingzhou Academy!"
Lin Yi and Li Wenbo reported their families. The bachelor took out a list of names and frowned: "Li Wenbo is not among the invitees. Please come back!"
"I know!"
Not only did Li Wenbo not look ashamed for a long time, but he held his head high and said: "We are Lin Yi's bookboy. This banquet is being held. Can the bookboy follow us to the banquet?"
The bachelor looked at Li Wenbo suspiciously, then looked at Lin Yi: "Is he your scholar?"
"……kindness!"
Lin Yi nodded helplessly.
"You guys go in!"
The bachelor then let Lin Yi and Li Wenbo enter the restaurant without stopping them.
"Is it really...Lin Yi? The same Lin Yi who beheaded Qian Qingwen at the Lindong County Government Office?"
A gleam flashed in Su Tong's eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "This is interesting. Who doesn't know that Qian Qingshu is a bachelor who is particularly admired by the academic masters? No wonder all the bachelors from Pingzhou Academy are invited, and the co-author is... Master Xuezheng vented his anger on the Qian family!"
…
at the same time.
Dragon guards have long been ambushing around outside Yunge Restaurant.
In the teahouse opposite Yunge Restaurant, Yan Shuangwu, the commander of Longweidu, was sitting on a chair.
Standing next to him was Long San, the commander of Qianshi.
"Fu Xuezheng hosted a banquet this time. Is there anything suspicious in the list of people invited?"
Yan Shuangwu was ordered to protect Lin Yi, so it was naturally impossible to investigate all of this.
"There is nothing suspicious. They are all rising stars in Nanxiang Mansion. It just depends on the book boys they bring with them...whether there is anything suspicious."
Naturally, Long Wei had already investigated such an important matter as a government banquet.
But there is no way to control things that others decide on a temporary basis.
"Investigating the young man who had brief contact with Li Wenbo just now, and... the old man in green next to him!"
Yan Shuangwu gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his knuckles, his eyes deep.
"yes!"
Long San retreated.
He waved his hand to summon a few dragon guards and then gave the order.
…
The Yunge Restaurant was bustling with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was full of guests and friends!
After Lin Yi and Li Wenbo came in, they directly chose the corner position.
"Wenbo, who was that Su Tong just now?"
Lin Yi always felt that the old man next to Su Tong gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
The way the old man looked at him before was very strange!
"The young master of the Su family, a prominent family in Nanxiang Prefecture, is the genius of Junji Academy. A few years ago, the master of Junji Academy took Zhu Liren with him to challenge our Pingzhou Academy. As a result... we were completely defeated."
Li Wenbo felt very unwilling when he thought of this, and said: "So we were so angry that we just attacked him directly!"
"I see!"
Lin Yi almost thought that there would be a scene where someone provoked him and he was forced to fight back.
At present, it seems not!
"quiet!"
Soon, after almost all the bachelors who were supposed to come arrived, a bachelor came on stage and asked all the bachelors to quiet down.
"Master Xuezheng has arrived!"
The bachelor sang loudly, and then a tall, thin old man wearing a Confucian robe walked out with a smile.
Everyone's eyes were attracted.
"Students pay homage to the Master of Academic Affairs and congratulate the Master of Academic Affairs on his promotion!"
"..."
All the scholars stood up and bowed to Fu Xuezheng as disciples.
"Master Academic Affairs, on this great opportunity, the students would like to give a gift to Master Academic Affairs!"
After a bachelor finished his salute, he took out a long brocade box from his arms and said: "The student presents a pair of ancestral jade, 'Jade Ruyi', handed down from the Master of Academic Affairs!"
"well!"
Fu Xuezheng nodded, stroking his beard and chuckled: "Zhou Yuan, you are serious! This jade Ruyi probably costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, right?"
"Little things!"
“It turns out it’s just a small thing!”
Fu Xuezheng turned to the bachelor beside him and said: "Write it down, remember it clearly, this is Zhou Yuan, presenting a pair of Ruyi jade worth hundreds of thousands taels of silver."
"Thank you, Master Xuezheng, for remembering me!"
Zhou Yuan was very excited and quickly thanked him, thinking... his brother would probably be fine in the provincial examination.
Although the academic master is about to leave, he only needs to say hello to the academic administrator who will succeed him.
That’s it!
"Congratulations to the academic master, the students presented a picture of a beautiful lady in calligraphy!"
"Pictures of beauties in calligraphy? This is a good thing...it's thoughtful!"
Fu Xuezheng was very surprised and said to the people next to him again: "Remember clearly, this is Jiang Liang, and I will give you a picture of a beautiful woman in calligraphy!"
More and more bachelors smiled from ear to ear when they saw Fu Xuezheng accepting gifts, and they all stood up to offer gifts.
They are also worried that the academic officials will not accept them.
I didn't expect them all to be the same.
The harvest is even more joyful!
boom!
However.
Fu Xuezheng's expression suddenly changed at this moment, and he slammed the table, and the entire Yunge Restaurant fell silent for an instant.
I saw Fu Xuezheng with a straight face, glaring at the bachelors who gave the gifts, and said: "You just use these to test this inspector. Which inspector can't withstand such a test?"
Wow!
The whole place fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
The bachelors who had just given out the congratulatory gifts were all stunned.
Dislike is not good enough?
Is it the first time to hold a banquet, or is it a farewell banquet, so the lion opens his mouth like this?
