Chapter 1046 Xiangxiang's Careful Thoughts

A group of people walked all the way to Piaoxiang Tower, and they met other candidates on the road. Seeing so many people, they came up to inquire. After inquiring, they joined in, and the team continued to expand. When they arrived at Piaoxiang Tower, there were already hundreds of people.

Xu Shixing and Luo Xin hung behind, watching the team continue to expand, Xu Shixing said with some concern:

"No, the battle is a bit big!"

"The bigger the better!" Luo Xin said with a smile, "We are watching the fun and not afraid of big troubles!"

"Will nothing happen?"

"What could happen?" Luo Xin rolled his eyes and said: "When we first came to Beijing, didn't we often quarrel? Large-scale quarrels are not without it. Don't worry, scholars are talkative, nothing big will happen , watch the fun with peace of mind."

Hearing Luo Xin say that scholars are talkers, even though they have never heard of the word talkers, they felt that it was not a good word, so they curled their lips and said:

"Say it as if you're not a scholar."

"I didn't say that I'm not a talker!" Luo Xin said cheerfully: "Civilian officials are talkers, not a good talker, you can't be an official."

"I can't say no to you! I'd better watch the excitement."

At this time, hundreds of scholars had already arrived at Piaoxiang Building.Piaoxianglou's mother panicked when she saw so many scholars. She didn't know what happened. She was trembling and worried as she stepped forward, when she saw the scholar with a loud southern voice stepping forward:

"Is Miss Huamanxiang here?"

"Miss Xiangxiang is not feeling well..."

The southern scholar waved his hand and said: "You don't need to deceive us with lies. We are waiting for scholars from the north and the south to prepare for a literary battle. After discussion, we will ask Miss Xiangxiang to be the judge. You just need to tell Miss Xiangxiang the truth. OK."

"Scared me to death!" The mother of the brothel patted her turbulent chest and said, "It turns out that our Xiangxiang girl is invited to be the judge. Everyone sit down first, and I will invite Xiangxiang right away."

"Girls, come down to pick up the guests!" After finishing speaking, he shouted at the girls again.

Everyone was looking for something to do, the first and second floors were quickly occupied by these scholars, but fortunately it was just after noon and it was not night yet, and there were no other guests in Piaoxiang Building, but these scholars were given a convening document meeting place.

Luo Xin and Xu Shixing also mixed in, ran to sit down in the most inconspicuous corner, and soon a girl from the brothel brought melons, fruits and drinks, and prepared pens, inks, papers and inkstones for each table.

Piaoxiang Building is not small, and the place is big enough, but there are really not hundreds of girls, so these girls did not pick up customers, but served as service staff serving drinks and melons and fruits. people.Therefore, these girls shuttled between the seats with excitement on their faces, because they had never seen such a big momentum.

With so many proposals from Piaoxianglou, it naturally attracted a lot of attention, but how could Piaoxianglou give up such an opportunity that was too expensive?

Therefore, Piaoxianglou sent many people to publicize, and soon more scholars came to Piaoxianglou, and the arrival of these people attracted even more people.The Piaoxiang Building is already overcrowded, and a large number of scholars are standing outside, waiting for the start of the Civil War.Moreover, the scholars standing outside were also divided into north and south, mocking each other.

Two figures walked along the street, but they were Xu Jie's eldest son Xu Luqing and his good friend.Xu Luqing also heard the news of the North-South War, so he rushed to see if there was anyone worth recruiting. Now Xu Jie and his son also realized that Luo Xin's Fuxing Society was wooing young people and young officials, and the Xu Party was almost exhausted. people.Therefore, Xu Jie and Xu Luqing discussed to recruit some outstanding talents in this test.And this kind of north-south collision is the easiest way to find talents.Therefore, when Xu Luqing heard the news, she rushed over immediately.

At the same time, Miss Xiangxiang finally appeared.However, he did not appear in front of everyone, but sat in a room on the second floor.Xiangxiang's maid came out of the room and glanced at all the judges. Although they were dissatisfied with Miss Xiangxiang's arrogance, they calmed down and listened to what Xiangxiang's maid was about to say.

The Xiangxiang servant girl smiled sweetly and said: "Masters, since my girls are invited to judge, then my girls can't be stingy. My girls said that each master should write a poem or a poem. When the time comes Judging by my girl, whoever stands out from the crowd, my girl is willing to spend the night with her."

"boom……"

There was an uproar in Piaoxiang Building, and everyone knew that Miss Xiangxiang still guarded herself like a jade.Today is ready to sacrifice.All of a sudden, the crowd became excited.If he wins, not only will he gain fame, but he will also be able to kiss Fangze.

This... is too tempting...

Xu Shixing lowered his voice and said, "This Xiangxiang girl is really smart."

"How do you say?" Luo Xin asked with a smile.

Xu Shixing rolled his eyes and said, "I don't believe you don't know, what are you pretending to be innocent!"

"Brother, Miss Xiangxiang was originally smart, did you realize that?" At this time, the person seated next to him leaned his head over and said.

When Xu Shixing heard this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

A scholar beside that Juzi couldn't help laughing, and that Juzi said, "Brother Lan, why are you laughing?"

That brother Lan glanced at Xu Shixing, and then said to the judge: "That brother doesn't mean what you think."

"what does that mean?"

That brother Lan lowered his voice and said: "This Miss Xiangxiang is also a noble person, and I'm afraid she has been looking for a good person who can be entrusted to her for life. Now this is just an opportunity. It is no problem for a person who stands out to be a Jinshi. And there is a great possibility to enter the top three. On such an occasion, Miss Xiangxiang dedicated herself to him. That person will not spend a good night together, and then leave Miss Xiangxiang aside Right? I’m bound to marry Miss Xiangxiang as my concubine, so Miss Xiangxiang has found someone who satisfies her.”

"That's it!" the candidate said blankly: "If I can stand out, I will definitely marry Xiangxiang as my concubine."

"Pfft..." Luo Xin and Xu Shixing couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" The boy gave Luo Xin and Xu Shixing a look and said, "I can't stand out, so can you?"

And at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door.It turned out that Xu Luqing was recognized.Originally, he just wanted to observe secretly, but there were too many people outside, and if he wanted to observe the situation inside Piaoxiang Building, he had to squeeze in, but he was discovered just by squeezing.

Xu Jie's literary name in the south is still very prosperous, but Xu Luqing is different from his two younger brothers in that he is quite knowledgeable and has a good reputation among southern scholars.Moreover, he often returned to the south to deal with the affairs of the mansion. Every time he went back, the local officials would definitely welcome him. After all, he was the son of Xu Ge.Naturally, a large number of scholars participated in the literary meeting held for Xu Luqing, so too many people knew Xu Luqing.Ge Lao's son still has a great advantage.
