Indefinite City Lord

Chapter 23
Originally, Jin Ming wanted to go to the highest level, but the boy said that today is the gathering of the scholars who took the spring exam this year.

The top floor has been booked early, so I can only give up.

Sushe's official examinations are the four levels of township examination, government examination, spring examination, and palace examination.

The provincial examinations are for juren, the government examinations are for tribute students, and the spring examination is the pre-selection for the palace examination for the selection of tribute students in each prefecture, and those who are shortlisted are gongshi.

As long as you pass the Gongshi exam, no matter whether you can finally pass the high school exam, you can directly become an official.

Already belonged to the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats.

Finally, take part in the palace examination presided over by the emperor himself in the palace. If you pass the examination, you will be the disciple of the emperor, and you will be a Jinshi.

I heard that there is a gathering of tributes on the top floor of the Hanguang Building today.

Even though Jin Ming has already half "abandoned literature and pursued martial arts", he still has some nostalgia and envy.

After ordering food and wine, the three chatted while looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Hanguang Tower is rumored to be the property of the Lord of Hanguang in Huairong, this Prince Su Shehan guards the long northeast line of defense with Daxian.

"I didn't expect to be so interested in caring about Wangcheng's officialdom and yellow and white things."

She Feng spoke for the first time in half a day, although his voice was low, he couldn't hide his disdain.

"Second brother, what do you mean?" Jin Ming asked suspiciously.

Seeing Jin Ming's question, She Feng continued, and didn't mind Jin Ming calling him second brother.

"This Hanguang building is more than ten feet high, and the specifications have already exceeded the limit. If it were not for Prince Han's identity and status, how long do you think this place can exist?"

"This Hanguang building is often a place for Huairong dignitaries and nobles to hold banquets and entertain guests. It is needless to say how much news there is."

"There are also rumors that the Hanguang Building costs tens of gold per meal, I saw it just now!"

"It's more than a few tens of gold. Such a large amount of income must have mostly gone into the prince's pocket. His Excellency is really good at both "internal and external"!"

She Feng glanced at Jin Ming, and finally explained.

"I didn't say it, it was my brother who said it before!"

Oh, what the elder brother said!Then you can understand!Jin Ming narrowed his eyes with a clear face!
"Don't talk about state affairs! We are here for dinner!" Wang Hui glanced at She Feng and reminded!
"If you like it, let's talk about it if you don't?" Jin Ming looked around and whispered.

This time Jin Ming stood on She Feng's side. One was to show his loyalty, and the other was because he had heard a lot about rebellion recently, so he was very interested!

But this time it was She Feng's turn to be a little embarrassed. He said a few words just now, and found that playing with the sword seemed to be more suitable for him!Raise your teacup and start gagging yourself!

Seeing that She Feng kept silent, Jin Ming felt a little lost.

"Just now there is a question about what dish is promoted to 24 qi. I saw that your eyes lit up when you ordered it!" Wang Hui saw She Feng's embarrassment, and changed the subject to ask Jin Mingdao!

Hearing the eldest brother's question, Jin Ming suddenly became interested!
Just now I was thinking about how to let the elder brother and the second elder brother know that I had suffered a lot of blood this time, and now the opportunity has come!

"Brother, not only is it promoted to 24 qi, but also jade tendons, non-phase soup, glutinous rice with five flowers, all of which are very unique dishes of Hanguanglou!"

"Let's say that the promotion of 24 qi is the corresponding selection of seasonal vegetables in 24 sections. First, make 24 color fillings, and then add them with crystal skin folded flowers. It is not uncommon to take out any one of them in the same season. , but if it is a season to come up with 24 samples, then Hanguanglou can do it!"

"There is also jade tendon, which is a dish passed down from the former imperial court. It uses 30-year-old sturgeon tendon, which is cooked slowly with high broth, and a single sturgeon can produce a pure white fish shaped like a jade belt. Muscles!"

"There is also Wuxiang soup. I have only eaten this dish once, and the taste is really amazing! Wait for the dish to come out in a while, you must try it out! It's really delicious in the world!"

"Also, glutinous rice with streaky flowers! Brother, have you ever heard of meat that looks like meat but not meat?" Jin Ming said excitedly, looking at Wang Hui with anticipation in his eyes!

"I've never heard of it!" Wang Hui praised him very much for saving face!

Hearing that Wang Hui said he didn't know, Jin Ming narrowed his eyes and laughed again.

"This glutinous rice with five flowers sounds like meat, but it's not made of meat at all—"

Listening to Jin Ming's hard-working introduction, Wang Hui murmured in his heart!
How did the productivity level in this world produce 24 colors, people now already know the three primary colors?
So what glutinous rice with streaky flowers looks like meat but not meat, is it artificial meat?

Wang Hui once again admired people's wisdom in eating, drinking and having fun.

Jin Ming was always a chatterbox, but he couldn't stop talking about it. After introducing the food, he started to tell Wang Huishe Feng anecdotes about Huai Rong!

While waiting for the dishes, the three of them watched the endless stream of people downstairs, talking about Huai Rong's interesting stories, and burst into laughter from time to time.

A Hanguang Building waiter came to the three of them.

"Three young masters, which one is the young master of Fu Cheng Jin?" The waiter asked respectfully.

"I am!" Jin Ming looked at the waiter and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Just now an adult asked me to invite you to the seventh floor for a while!" The waiter replied.

"Invite me?" Jin Ming was at a loss, "Which adult is it?"

"I don't know about it!" The waiter replied. "It's just that if adults want to be young, they must ask Mr. Jin to show their face."

Jin Ming, who was a little disappointed when he heard the gathering of the tributes just now, was immediately very grateful for this compliment!

"Big brother, second brother! Let's go and have a look together?" Jin Ming asked the two big brothers for their opinions.

Seeing that Wang Hui and She Feng did not refuse, Jin Ming got up.

"Let's lead the way! My two friends will go there too!" Jin Ming said.

The waiter leads the way.

The three of them went all the way to the seventh floor.

Holding a folding fan in his hand, a young man in Confucian shirt stood at the entrance of the building, waiting for the three of them.

Jin Ming looked at the young man at the entrance of the building, feeling familiar.

"Today Hanguang Building is full of literary stars, and to go to this building, you need to be excellent in writing!" The young man in Confucian shirts stood at the entrance of the building and said proudly.

"Three! I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where I'm going! I don't know the geometry of the past and the present, and I don't know how much before and after!"

"Today is a good banquet, and the joy is hard to describe. Life is a lifetime, and the dying is like flying dust! Mingde sings high words, and it takes a person to understand the music."

After Jin Ming, Wang Hui and She Feng heard what the young man in Confucianism shirt said, their expressions all changed.

Because the front is still a normal greeting, although the appearance of dragging the text is not pleasant.

But the sour Confucianism is talking about this group of people, and it doesn't matter if you get used to it.

What makes people itch is the last sentence-Mingde sings high-sounding words, and it takes different people to understand the music.

What do you mean?In human terms:

The people talking here are awesome, if you people can understand it, if you don’t understand it, don’t come up here!
Jin Ming finally remembered who this person was, he had seen this person once or twice.

"Are you Xing Rongbu's brother Gongsheng?" Jin Ming asked with narrowed eyes.

One of Jin Ming's seniors when he was studying Huairong Confucianism three years ago should be this guy's younger brother.

Most people really can't pretend to be so defiant!What a brother!

And Jin Ming just couldn't understand the other party's virtue back then, so he had a rift with that senior brother.

"Xing Qingbu, Wu Hao, I have met Mr. Jin! I have passed the examination of Gongshi today, and I will look at you with admiration after three days." Xing Qingbu looked at Jin Ming and said coldly.

Ordinary people would only say their names when introducing each other, but Xing Qingbu's words were actually emphasizing that he is a cultural person.

Wang Hui also squinted at this over-pretending scholar!

"Oh! Don't dare to be a son!" Jin Ming looked at Xing Qingbu and said, "Mr. Today is in the way, and our brothers will not go up!"

After saying that, Jin Ming was about to turn around and go downstairs.Some insinuation that good dogs don't get in the way.

"Hmph! You are a coward! Not as good as a man!"

This sentence is considered to be a little bit sweet, and Jin Ming immediately felt a little furious!

This sour scholar satirizes himself as a ranger, which is tolerable or unbearable, shit can be tolerated but urine can't be tolerated!

The last sentence was taught by Wang Hui.

"Hmph! I'm from the back of the mountain, and I'm a guest in front of me. I dance with half a volume of books in the Jingge, sitting in the well and talking about the sky." Jin Ming looked at the other party and smiled.

"My elder brother wrote a mocking poem a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be written on you today. It really insults my elder brother's talent."

Wang Hui glanced at Jin Ming, and suddenly felt a little shy!

He didn't expect this kid to have such a good memory. He read it once, and this kid remembered it.

Xing Qingbu thought about it for a while, and his face suddenly changed.

"you!"

This is to satirize him as a frog in a well, who can't get on the stage!
Rao is really good at pretending, but he can't get off the stage!
"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Just when Jin Ming finished scolding people and got ready to do things and brushed off his clothes, leaving Xing Qingbu in a mess at the entrance of the building, a wild laughter sounded upstairs.

I can't see who it is across the building!
"Junior brother Jin Ming! It was the senior brother who invited you here! I didn't intend to make things difficult for you, I really didn't expect that you and Xing junior brother still have this relationship!"

Even before the person appeared, the sound already made people feel like a spring breeze!
Wang Hui and She Feng looked at the stairs in surprise, while Jin Ming was thoughtful!
"Brother Zuo Ji?"

Jin Ming looked at the bearded man in his thirties who appeared at the entrance of the building, and asked a little puzzled.

"It's me!" the bearded man smiled heartily.

"When you entered Xushi, I was running around for fame. After you stopped studying martial arts, we never saw each other again."

"I heard that you are entertaining guests in this Hanguang Tower today, so I just invited my junior brother over to recount the old friendship between teachers and students."

After speaking, he looked at Xing Qingbu, who was embarrassed at the entrance of the building.

"Junior Brother Xing, this is what you did wrong! For scholars in my generation, the sharpness of words and tricks are all tricks after all."

"Set up your mind for the heaven and the earth, set up your life for the people, set up a legacy for the sages of the past, and create peace for all generations."

"Go down and copy Master Zai's inscription carefully!"

Hearing the bearded man's words, Xing Qingbu finally found the steps, respectfully performed the disciple salute, and then walked away.

"Junior brother! Two friends! Please go upstairs and tell me!" the bearded man invited with a smile.
