Dao fruit.

"Chen Mansion? Could it be that Chen Bozheng..."

Hearing the name of the Chen family, there were a few murmurs and exclamations in the crowd immediately, obviously they knew the origin.

"Mr. Taixu first, and now even the Chen family has sent people to congratulate him. What is the origin of this top scholar?"

For ordinary people, being a Jinshi in the exam is an act of honoring their ancestors, and winning the number one scholar is a high-ranking figure like the reincarnation of Wenqu. If they can reach this point, they have already died without regrets, and any kind of praise is not enough Surprised.

But among the people gathered in the inn right now, some examinees and scholars know a little about the affairs of the imperial court, so they have different opinions.

Although the number one scholar is rare, Qiu Yan even got the first place in the three yuan examinations, and won the first place in the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination. Even in the entire history of imperial examinations, such a person is only a handful of people, enough to be worshiped by future generations.

However, the title of No. [-] scholar, after all, only represents the starting point of officialdom, and to put it bluntly, it means potential.

And who is Mr. Taixu?

His reputation and reputation are not limited to the officialdom, but he can also be regarded as a great master in the academic field. Not to mention, the Taixu Academy created by Mr. Taixu has a tendency to unify Guanzhong. Advocacy, gradually spread among the people, guiding others to act and think, and some people even take it as a basis to walk out of many wonderful paths, it is difficult to describe them one by one.

Such a person, not to mention the number one scholar in a subject, even if he is the minister of the court, he can ignore him, but the number one scholar six years ago was none other than Mr. Taixu's disciple!

Such a person, an elder, sent people over to send congratulatory gifts to Qiu Yan, just like Qiu Yan's previous life, which famous master suddenly gave a gift to the first place in the college entrance examination of that year, of course it is shocking , leading to doubts.

When Zhang Cheng walked into the inn, there was another whisper.Only this time, it was Zhang Cheng who everyone was talking about.

Zhang Chengnai is a disciple of Mr. Taixu, he is well-known in Xingjing, he once defeated two rising stars in moral studies, wrote several articles when he was young, was praised by the late emperor, and even challenged Bai Zhaoyuan in the Wenguan.It is glorious to lose.

Bai Zhaoyuan was deeply inspired by this, and retreated for more than a month.

There are even more rumors that Zhang Chengnai is a person who has condensed a literary heart, enough to start a branch of the school, and is the future successor of the Taixu School.

Taixu sent people to congratulate Zhang Chengxiang.It's not something ordinary people can bear, but Qiu Yan calmly dealt with it in order to show surprise.

Afterwards, Chen Bi, who represented the Chen family, also came in. He was just dressed in an ordinary manager's attire. Although he had a good demeanor, he was far from being able to compare with Zhang Cheng.

only.The Chen family behind this person is not trivial.

Qiu Yan has learned a lot these days. He knows that the Chen family is a prominent family in the former dynasty. Their ancestors had a close relationship with the great ancestor of Darui.

Such a family.Sending someone to congratulate the new champion is of course confusing.

How can a number one scholar be compared with such a famous family in terms of power and wealth?

In such a situation, if it were someone else, people would inevitably doubt that Qiu Yan could win the first prize.Did he use his contacts to resort to tricks?But facing Qiu Yan, they definitely would not have such thoughts, the reason is very simple.The vision of releasing the rankings, parading the stars, is equal to the delineation of God, who dares to question it?

The emperor is called the son of heaven, but he is the son of heaven, who can be greater than heaven?

"Several people, please..." Qiu Yan invited the two of them into the inn, and the owner was quite sensible, so without further ado, he ordered the small second area to prepare tables and chairs. Seeing this posture, he didn't even plan to do business. But his face was beaming, with a proud look on his face.

"You don't need to be so polite, Zhang came here this time just to follow orders." Zhang Cheng shook his head, his words were polite, but also revealed a little suspicion.

Obviously, Zhang Cheng was also puzzled by his teacher's decision. He had heard of Qiu Yan's name before, and because of Qi Jiulian's relationship, he knew a lot more than ordinary people.

It is precisely because of understanding that I am even more confused. I don't know the truth. The teacher wants to congratulate such a new champion, but the teacher's destiny is not to be refused.

Qiu Yan nodded, and took the congratulatory gift from the other party.

This congratulatory gift is a scroll, which is a bit shabby, but there are many unspoken rules in the officialdom. Qiu Yan is a new champion, and the time is less than a day. If he receives too expensive things, it will become a hidden danger. Of course, these mortal rules can be seen through at a glance.

On the other side, the moment he took over the scroll, Qiu Yan's hands trembled slightly, his heart was a little foggy, he couldn't help paying attention, but he didn't open it on the spot.

"The gift has been delivered, and I will take my leave." Zhang Cheng said, and was about to leave.

But Qiu Yan said: "Please trouble Brother Zhang to bring a message to Mr. Taixu, and say that Qiu will return the gift in a few days."

"Return the gift?" Zhang Cheng was stunned, his eyes flashed with displeasure, he felt that Qiu Yan was at a loss, who is Mr. Taixu?Giving gifts in return, do you really regard yourself as someone who can sit on an equal footing with great Confucians?

Zhang Cheng is Tai Xu's disciple, doesn't it mean that he is a bit shorter in front of Qiu Yan?

However, after all the years of cultivating Qi and staying focused, Zhang Cheng just bowed his hands in return, and left without replying, walking in a hurry, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.

After he left, the people around were also discussing in low voices, and many people also complained about Qiu Yan's response, but as the number one scholar, the vision added to his body, and he was in the limelight, he was able to dispel the criticism.

Qiu Yan knew Zhang Cheng's unhappiness in his heart, and he didn't explain too much. Some things, when the time comes, will naturally come to fruition.

On the side, the steward of Chen's residence stepped forward and said: "Young Master Qiu, the villain is also here under orders, so I can't be treated as your courtesy." Then, he handed over an invitation card, "My master asked me to come to congratulate me, and he sent this invitation Tie, I hope you can come to the Chen residence when you are free."

"Invitation, Chen's Mansion." Qiu Yan nodded, and took it, a few figures flashed in his mind, and the memory picture was finally fixed on the old ancestor of the Chen family who came uninvited during the dinner in Pang Mansion's other courtyard.

Seeing that Qiu Yan accepted the invitation, the steward took his leave and led the others away.

Looking at the distant back, Qiu Yan did not move, squinted his eyes, and handed the invitation card and scroll to Hu Qi, then squinted his eyes, the will of the city radiated, and thought in his heart: "Taixu Academy sent the scroll , the Chen residence is just here to invite, no matter what the two parties are asking for, at least there is no intention of conspiracy, but it is difficult to say who will come next."

After thinking about it, another voice came from the crowd outside the door——

"Is Mr. Qiu here? In the name of Lord Tian You Qingtian, I come here to congratulate you!" After the voice fell, there were urging voices from the crowd, telling people along the way to give way.

Five people squeezed out, the leader was thin and had a beard, and the remaining four were tall and strong, in groups of two, each carrying a box.

The box was not small in size, and when it moved around, it seemed extremely heavy. I don't know what it contained.

After the five people entered the inn, the man with the mustache came to Qiu Yan.

Boom!Boom!

With two dull sounds, the two boxes were placed on the ground, causing the floor to tremble and dust to rise.

After saluting, the man with the moustache said: "At Shimoda Qi, by the order of my master, I came to congratulate the champion. A little gift is not a respect." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the man carrying the box, Bending down opened the lid, revealing the contents.

There is no gold, silver and jewelry as imagined, but scrolls of words. Below the scrolls, you can see the covers of books.

"Oh?" Qiu Yan raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "Master Lao Tian has kind intentions, but you will not be rewarded for nothing. Qiu and Master Tian have never even met, so it's hard to accept."

"The No. [-] Scholar," Tian Qi smiled, "This is just a thought. My lord and Mr. Pan Xiang are good friends. After being instructed by him, he knew that the No. [-] Scholar likes calligraphy and painting, so he donated part of his collection as a gift."

Having said that, he lowered his voice again: "To be honest, my master was deceived by others and had a little misunderstanding with Mr. Zhuangyuan. Now that he understands the cause and effect, he sent me here and wants to make an appointment with you to talk face to face."

"Misunderstanding?" Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly. This expression and movement made Tian Qi look happy, but the next sentence made his complexion suddenly change——

"Take the things back."

"You..." Slightly stunned, Tian Qi subconsciously showed a cold tone, then restrained himself, and continued to whisper: "The number one scholar, this is my master's heart, many friends in the officialdom are better than many enemies, Huahua People in sedan chairs carry people..."

The order is drawn, the cause and effect are self-evident, Qiu Yan shook his head, and simply interrupted: "Qiu is an official, and he didn't come to intrigue with you. If you are dragged down by ordinary customs, wouldn't you digest it? You go back and tell Tian Youqing that there is no need to use such methods to fight against you. Stabilize me. With my current status, I can't threaten him at all. If he spends too much energy on me, he will ignore the real opponent. This person should concentrate on solving the main conflict first. Of course, the premise It’s about clarifying what you know.”

Tian Qi seemed to understand what he said, but he was secretly surprised by the meaning of the words.

"Why does this Qiu Yan seem to know what the lord has done? Could it be that Ma Yang has already told him what the lord has expected?"

This congratulation was Tian Youqing's impromptu idea, but there are many purposes in the simple behavior, and Tian Qi can also vaguely see that he even praised the wonderful chess, but now he is directly rejected by Qiu Yan, as if punching in the air. No matter how hard you try, it's not right.

Looking at Qiu Yan's bright eyes, Tian Qi was angry and wanted to remind him, but before he could say anything, he was covered up by a few whispers from the door——

"Why is he even here?"

"He also came to congratulate you?"

"It's probably going to be a good show..."

……

Discussions continued one after another, and Bai Zhaoyuan, who was dressed in white, walked out of the crowd, stepped into the inn, ignored Tian Qi and the others, and went straight to Qiu Yan, with a strange gleam in his eyes.

"You and I met again. To be honest, Bai really didn't expect to be enlightened by you first!"
