Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 486
After the two of them finished eating, Shen Chenlan called Xiao Er to pay the bill, and just got up when she met a group of people on the stairs.

Shen Chenlan subconsciously took Song Zhicheng to the side to give way, but the man walked up, but he was not in a hurry to leave.

The leader stood still in front of Shen Chenlan with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said: "I said why there are so many faces in the capital recently. It turns out that the test is coming soon."

The people around him echoed: "Exactly, students from outside Beijing have arrived in Beijing one after another in the past month or so."

These two people were talking here, and they blocked the stairs going downstairs.

Shen Chenlan frowned slightly, thinking about how to get the two of them out of the way.

The leader looked up and down a few times, and suddenly said to him: "Little brother, looking at your clothes, you are also from outside Beijing?"

Shen Chenlan didn't expect these two people to strike up a conversation with him, and their tone was quite polite, so he simply responded: "Yes."

The person next to that person didn't know what he meant, so he said, "My little one remembers that Mr. Qiu was still a Huiyuan candidate. If it weren't for the strangeness in the imperial examination back then, Mr. Qiu almost won the first prize, and he almost passed the first prize." Three dollars in a row."

Shen Chenlan was listening very seriously.

When I heard later that "almost won the first prize, and almost won three prizes in a row", I couldn't help laughing.

The smile in his eyes flashed, and he quickly covered it up.

Next to him, Song Zhicheng even endured the pain of laughing. In order not to laugh out loud, he pinched his thigh severely.

However, upon hearing this surname, Shen Chenlan immediately remembered what Yan Hui had said about "Senior Brother Qiu", thinking that the person in front of him was the first disciple of his master Yan Liangting.

Now working under the third prince.

Looking at the appearance of 40 years old, it is also a bit old.

It should have been collected by the master when he was young.

Shen Chenlan thought about it, and felt that this was specifically for him, and she didn't know if it was to put some pressure on him.

He thought about it, and felt that he had to respond to the other party so that the other party's painstaking efforts would not be in vain.

So he said: "Wow, you are so good, you almost won the number one! I wonder if Mr. Qiu was the second place in the year?"

The expression on Qiu Shutong's face was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect this person to be so supportive.

But he couldn't continue with the next words, because he was not the second place in the list, and the palace exam was more difficult back then, and he didn't perform well, so he only got tenth place.

Qiu Shutong was about to change the subject, but Shen Wenyuan in front of him seemed to have lost interest, and suddenly said, "Please excuse me, Mr. Qiu, I'm going downstairs, so I won't disturb you for tea and dinner." .”

He was respectful, and Qiu Shu couldn't make a mistake, so he could only step aside and watch him go downstairs step by step.

Originally, he had received news that Shen Wenyuan had made an appointment to have dinner here, so he went to meet him.

Normally, children from poor families outside Beijing will feel overwhelmed when they first enter Beijing.

After all, the capital city is very different from the outside world.

Those from the countryside are short-sighted.

As long as he reveals his identity a little bit, those who have never seen the world will definitely want to cling to him.

When the master accepted this person as his disciple, this person must have used this method.

At the beginning, he also worked so hard to create an opportunity to meet the master, so that the master accepted him as an apprentice.

It's just that he didn't expect that this person was not interested in him.

This must be the man's game of playing hard to get.

Sooner or later he will unmask his mask.
