Mingshi

Chapter 1044

However, his cold eyes had already pushed Xu Shixing off the cliff.Since he didn't care, then it was up to Xu Jie to decide. How could Xu Jie give Xu Shixing a good face?
So Xu Shixing was sent to the Ministry of Works, and when Xu Shixing went to the Ministry of Works, he was also looked down upon and arranged an idle position, so moss grew on his body all day long.

If you only look at Xian, he is similar to Luo Xin, except that Luo Xin still manages a group of people, and he is the head of a department.As for Xu Shixing, it was much more miserable. There were not many people who cared about him, but there were quite a few people who cared about him.In just a few months, people are much older.

I'm depressed and I don't have many friends.This is not a Xunxiu, he has nothing to do, so he came to Luo Mansion wearing a half-new and not old Confucian shirt.

Luo Xin wanted to laugh when he saw the wandering in, but he couldn't hold it back. People are living a miserable life now. At this time, it is unreasonable to smile in front of them.

Arms side by side, the two walked towards Luo Xin's mansion. Luo Xin's mansion originally belonged to Yan Song, and was given to Luo Xin by Emperor Jiajing. This mansion is bigger than the other.But now that the fifteenth day has passed, Luo Heng and the others have all left, and the father has also gone to the military camp, leaving Luo Mu, Luo Xin, Lu Rudai and Luo Yu at home.And there are not many servants of Luo Xin.Such a huge mansion seemed very deserted.Coupled with the fact that it is winter, it looks very bleak.Xu Shixing put his hands in his sleeves, looked around while dangling and said:
"It's so deserted!"

"Ha ha……"

Xu Shixing glanced at Luo Xin: "Huh, what?"

"Ha ha……"

"It's boring."

"Ha ha……"

Xu Shixing was a little speechless, and walked towards Luo Xin's study along the gravel road.Before reaching the study room, Xu Shixing said:

"Forget it, I won't go to your study, the two of us will go out for a walk."

"Is there anything to go?" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Let's go to my study. I'll ask my servants to make some side dishes, and we'll have a drink."

"Let's go out to eat." Xu Shixing said.

"Eating out? Are you treating me?"

"I invite you to please me."

Luo Xin kept walking, "Why do you think of going out to eat?"

"No!" Xu Shixing said a little desolately: "Now that everyone in the world has entered Beijing, let's go out for a walk."

Luo Xin then smiled and said, "What? You are the second in the list, want to relive your memories?"

Xu Shixing snorted and said, "In front of you, the No. [-] scholar, why mention me as No. [-]? Don't talk nonsense, let's go for a walk."

"Okay, let me change my clothes."

The two came to Luo Xin's study, Luo Xin asked Xu Shixing to wait in the study, and went to the main room to change clothes by himself.After a while, Luo Xin changed into a half-new Confucian shirt that was the same as Xu Shixing's and walked in.Xu Shixing looked Luodao up and down:
"You are a local tyrant, how do you get such a dress to wear?"

Luo Xin curled his lips and said: "It's agreed that you will treat me. If I wear a gorgeous dress and ask you to settle the score, it's not appropriate."

Xu Shixing shook his head with a smile, stood up, and walked out side by side with Luo Xin.It's just that the heart is warm.He knew that Luo Xin proudly wore the same clothes as him, so as not to feel uncomfortable.

The two walked out of the gate, Luo Xin looked at Xu Shixing, then looked down at himself, and couldn't help but laugh.Xu Shixing said:

"why are you laughing?"

Luo Xin flicked his sleeves flirtatiously and said, "You said that the two of us are in the eyes of others, do you want two children from poor families who came to Beijing to catch the exam?"

Xu Shixing is only five years older than Luo Xin, now Luo Xin is 21, he is 26.Juren in this grade is really young.After hearing what Luo Xin said, Xu Shixing looked at himself and Luo Xin, and couldn't help laughing.He shook his head coquettishly and said:
"Do you think there will be a rich lady who will take a fancy to us?"

"Dream you!"

After Luo Xin finished speaking, he laughed wantonly, and Xu Shixing also laughed wantonly. The two walked on the street, laughing wantonly, causing the passers-by around to point and point.

"Look at those two people."

"What is there to see, two poor scholars."

"How stupid these two people are! It should be the first time I have come to Beijing. I am in a good mood when I see everything. The bumpkins are coming to the city!"

"Don't say that, the scholars who come to Beijing at this time are all Juren."

"What are you afraid of? They are just two poor scholars. Do you really think they can be Jinshi?"

"..."

Xu Shixing and Luo Xin looked at each other, then burst out laughing again, and walked forward with fluttering sleeves, leaving a mocking look behind them.

There are many scholars coming and going on the street. These scholars are talking and laughing as if there is no one else around, and they are all looking forward to the upcoming exam, and they are full of confidence.Seeing the excited expressions of these people, Luo Xin and Xu Shixing's mood also improved.

Around noon, the two came to Taibai Residence, found a corner in the lobby on the first floor and sat down, ordered four dishes and a jug of wine.At this time, the prices of vegetables and wine had increased by nearly ten times, which made Xu Shixing grin with heartache.Luo Xin took a sip of wine with a "squeak", looked at Xu Shixing's heartbroken look and said:
"Yes! Let you run out to drink at this time, can't you drink at my house?"

Xu Shixing put away his heartbroken expression, curled his lips and said, "There is no atmosphere in your house."

"Okay, okay, it's not my treat."

The two of them came out to relax, so they stopped talking and just listened quietly to the conversations of the scholars around them.

In this season of rushing for the exam, the locals in the capital did not rush to the tavern to eat, it was too expensive.Therefore, almost all the people eating in Taibai House at this time are candidates from other places who came to the capital to catch up with the exam.Luo Xin and Xu Shixing, the two pretenders, were sitting in the corner, happily eavesdropping, thinking about the youthful years.

At this time, the Juzi in Taibaiju came from all over the world, but they were generally divided into two groups, one from the north and one from the south.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, since the imperial examination, there has been a dispute between the North and the South, and no one will obey the other.

Is this not?

In the lobby on the first floor of this Taibai residence, they were divided into two groups.The two sides don't talk, they just talk with people around them, but in the conversation, even if they don't belittle the other party, they always elevate their own side.At the beginning, the voice was still small, and then the voice gradually became louder.In the end, there were disparaging words in the speech, and the two sides quickly argued.

There is nothing to argue about. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the scholars in the north were obviously inferior to those in the south.If Luo Xin hadn't been born in the top three, there would never have been a northerner.Therefore, those southerners have always been very proud. At this time, in Taibai House, they called out their names one by one, and the pride on their faces was obvious.
