"Tiance, I'll treat you to a drink someday. I...I'm here to apologize...to you for what happened in the past." Edo bowed and bowed with a sincere smile on his face.
Seeing Edo's sincere apology, Yu Tiance didn't want to worry about it anymore.
After all, it was never his idea for Jiang Nan and Wang Min to do anything bad to him.
Besides, now that I am a scholar, I have to be more open-minded.
"Brother Jiang, I'm available at any time."
Yu Tiance couldn't find the words for a moment, so he turned around and continued walking towards home with Shen Shen.
Edo's voice came again.
"Tiance, since you are free at any time, what do you think of tonight?"
oh?
When we approached Xu, it was already dark.
On the streets, many wine shops are closed. It’s cold in spring, and there are only a few people. Where can I find a wine shop?
While hesitating, Shen Jing tugged on Yu Tiance's sleeve.
"Master, if you are open-minded, the road will get wider and wider. Please ease the relationship with Brother Edo! I grew up with him, and he is not a bad person. From now on, you two can be friends, okay?"
Yu Tiance didn't nod or shake his head.
He is not a holy mother, and he never pities anyone in his heart. If he wants to be friends with someone who was once an enemy, he has some grudges in his heart.
Shen Jing put her hands behind her back and tilted her head: "Brother Edo, no wine shops are open now. Come to my house to drink. You haven't tasted the wine made by Lang Jun himself. It tastes very fragrant. If you are drunk, just Sleep with Chen Qing."
Chen Qing?
Edo glanced at Yu Tiance awkwardly.
That tall and thick man, his arms were as thick as his thighs. If he had a nightmare, wouldn't he be slapped to death?
"Sister Jing'er, please drink again someday..."
"That's okay too."
The next day, early in the morning.
The yamen servant knocked on the door, handed over a note, and said with a smile on his face: "Yu Tiance, right? The county magistrate is going to host a banquet for the scholars who have passed the college examination tonight. Get ready and go to the county school to report at three o'clock."
"Thank you, sir."
Throughout the morning, Yu Tiance prepared the book box and changed into decent clothes.
When we arrived at the back gate of the county government, more than a dozen students had already gathered in front of the gate.
They were carrying book boxes and holding folding fans, looking at him with strange eyes.
At this time, a scholar about thirty years old stepped forward, with one hand behind his back and the other stroking his beard, and looked Yu Tiance up and down.
"Who...are you?"
It's not that Yu Tiance doesn't understand etiquette.
But the person in front of him looked at him from his feet up with arrogant and rude eyes, which made him feel very unhappy, so he did not bow and salute.
"Who are you? Who am I, and do I have anything to do with you?"
presumptuous!
The man didn't expect that Yu Tiance would attack him when they met, and said angrily: "I am the disciple of the county magistrate, Liang Yuan, Liang Minxian!"
Yu Tiance has heard of this name.
Six years ago, Chang'an Prefecture ranked first in the examination.
When the original owner's father was alive, he mentioned this person several times.
The original owner did not study seriously, so the old county magistrate used this person as an analogy, saying that he was talented. He wrote poems at the age of three and wrote a book at the age of eight.
It's just that I only heard his name, but didn't see his person.
Yu Tiance sneered: "A disciple of the county magistrate, do you have to speak so loudly? Are you so proud? Do you have to hold your head so high? If I'm not wrong, you passed the scholar exam six years ago. It took you so long to take the exam If you don't get elected, you've already had three county magistrates, and you still have the shamelessness to show off to me?"
Well……
After a passage, not only Liang Minxian was confused, but also the dozen or so scholars behind him were confused.
You know, being able to study in the county government's study, becoming a disciple of the county magistrate, and being personally tutored by your parents' officials is the highest honor for a scholar.
"Don't you understand Confucianism?"
"When I see an old scholar, it's okay not to bow down and bow to me. If I dare to speak rudely, it's simply an insult to gentleness!"
"You naughty bitch, do you know where the county study is?"
"Idiot! Being able to study in the county government's study and receive personal guidance from adults is the highest honor for a scholar!"
…
The people next to you started talking to me one by one.
However, Yu Tiance still held his head high. Faced with the accusations from everyone, he said without changing his face or heartbeat: "I don't think the children who enter the county government study are any better than others."
snort!
Hahaha!
Those students still wanted to argue, but Liang Minxian interrupted them with a wave of his hand.
"Okay, quarreling with a child will be disgraceful if you win and shameful if you lose. Children all have this kind of madness, and you and I don't need to waste our time with him."
snort!
All the students snorted coldly, rolled their eyes at Yu Tiance, and then started laughing to themselves again.
Not long after, the steward of the county government opened the back door and bowed: "Dear scholars, please enter the county government with me."
Everyone returned the greeting and said in unison: "Thank you, sir."
At this time, Liang Minxian turned back and looked at Yu Tiance with disgust: "You kid, are you stupid? Even if you are a scholar, you have to pass the selection of the literary society to get into this place!"
"Who said you have to pass the selection by the literary association?"
Hahaha!
This short sentence made more than a dozen scholars burst into laughter.
"This kid doesn't seem to have a very bright mind."
"Just like an idiot!"
"There will be a fireworks show tonight, and a rookie is here during the day?"
…
However, these people did not laugh for long.
Just because the housekeeper took a few steps forward and bowed to Yu Tiance.
"Master Yu, the county magistrate was worried that you would be late, so he told me to wait for you in front of the door for a while. I didn't expect you to come early."
Yu Tiance shook his sleeves, imitating the manner of a scholar, and said in return: "Sir, it's my first time here, how can I be late?"
"Haha, please come with me!"
The butler stood up and waved.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Yu Tiance followed the housekeeper and walked into the back door of the county mansion with his head held high.
"Master Liang, dear brothers, who said that you have to pass the literary society selection before you can enter the county study?"
ah?
The dozen or so scholars looked at each other in confusion, their expressions becoming very stiff.
Liang Minxian was even more speechless.
He has stayed in the county study room for six years and has seen countless talents leave high school. The scholars present are all his juniors. He has never seen a new talent come to the county study room before the literary meeting!
Could it be that the new county magistrate is accepting gifts?
"Follow me, gentlemen, why are you standing there stunned?"
ah?
oh!
After everyone calmed down, they followed the housekeeper into the county house.
Passing through the corridor, we came to the county study room.
The study room has no decoration.
The wooden pillars inside are somewhat decayed, and some poems and paintings are hung on both sides. They are no different from a few years ago.
The copper incense burner in my memory was still placed on the corner of the magistrate's desk. Wisps of green smoke slowly floated up. Although I didn't know what substance was in it, the smell of the fragrance was indeed refreshing.
Zeng Yu sat on the podium in the middle with a smile on his face.
Under the stage, there are twenty-one tables, each with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as a teapot and two blue and white porcelain teacups.
