Dao Fruit

Zhou Guan asked the waiter who came to greet him: "Are the two vacant rooms still there? I have a friend who plans to stay here."

"Huh? Your friend also wants to stay?" The waiter looked confused, "I'm afraid it's not convenient. There is only one room left, and it has been booked."

"Reserved for others?" Zhou Guan frowned, stepped into the inn lobby, and heard bursts of laughter coming from inside.

"Oh? It's quite lively today." Zhou Guan muttered, walked inside and took a look, only to find that the lobby was full of scholars.

However, although these people were sitting at various tables and seats, they were all facing the same direction.

Following everyone's gaze, Zhou Guan's gaze fell on the same place, and he saw two figures, one male and one female.

The man wears ordinary clothes, but his extraordinary appearance cannot be concealed. His face is like a crown jewel, his nose is like a hanging gallbladder, he sits as straight as a bell, his demeanor is calm, and his voice when he speaks makes people feel like they are being washed by the spring breeze.

There is a woman sitting next to the man. She is handsome, luxuriously dressed, and has a graceful temperament. At first glance, she is not the daughter of an ordinary family. Such a woman will be the focus of everyone's attention no matter where she goes, and it is here. The inn was no exception, but it was easy to see from the woman's smile that her heart was tied to the handsome man beside her.

A man and a woman sit there, and anyone who looks at them can't help but praise the golden boy.

"Who are these men and women?"

Luo Jiayun, Zhou Guan and others walked into the inn lobby. Looking at the scene in front of them, they all looked confused and didn't know why.

Just in time. Someone among the scholars asked: "Brother Wen, according to what you said, this exam will be easier than before?"

"That's not what I said, it was what you said." The handsome man smiled, making people think of the word "Toyoshin Junlang" in his heart. "Wen just said that this interview is the last time for the past Jingyi Guanghui, in the next few years, when Wang Xianggong is in power, the new law will be implemented and the imperial examination will focus on new learning, and all the hard work of you and me will be in vain. "

Another person said: "I have heard about Brother Wen's romantic affair in Jiangnan. People say that you don't like the imperial examination and love red makeup. Could it be that you came to Beijing to take the exam this time. Just to seize this last chance?"

"Haha," the handsome man nodded with a smile, without any hesitation, "No matter how famous I am, Wen Zhizhen, I can only do things as a common person. How can I avoid being vulgar?"

"As expected of a great scholar, he is indeed as unruly as the rumors say." Someone immediately praised him.

Luo Jiayun, Zhou Guan and others were surprised.

"He is Jiangnan Wen Zhizhen, who is known as a master of calligraphy and painting? Why does he appear here?"

While several people were surprised, Qiu Yan remained expressionless, looking around and scanning the body of a famous scholar. A brilliant light rose in his eyes, and the scene in his field of vision immediately changed. Slender threads emerged, wrapping around everyone's bodies and extending everywhere. Three fires appeared on the shoulders, revealing the trajectory of luck.

"This inn is really weird!"

As he watched, Qiu Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"If I hadn't entered the inn and come into contact with the entanglement of cause and effect and luck, I still wouldn't have been able to find out the clues. I don't know who's plan is to set up such a formation in the capital of the country. It's probably not small. It's just that he shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't. You should not involve my friend Qiu Yan in this!"

As he thought about it, his eyes fell on Luo Jiayun and Zhou Guan. His perception spread, and he clearly noticed that there were traces of luck floating out of the two of them, combining with the inn, and following the connection, they escaped into the void. , I don’t know where it was passed in.

"However, the land of the capital is no small matter. I still have to wait for the trial. If it doesn't happen immediately, I will observe it first and understand the situation clearly. Now that I take action, I have to uproot the root of the disaster to save myself from endless troubles and wasted energy. "

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan's eyes moved, his peripheral vision glanced at the waiter and the shopkeeper, and then he frowned.

"Both of these two are mortals. They have no extraordinary aura. Their karma and luck are the same as those of ordinary people. Are they just being used by others?"

Just as he was thinking about it, the scene in the lobby changed.

I saw a man stand up and said to Wen Zhizhen: "I have heard about Mr. Wen's reputation for a long time. It's just that you live in the south of the Yangtze River. It's okay to come to Xingjing to gain fame. Why use words to ruin the future of others?" ?”

As soon as he said this, it was like a ground-breaking shock, and the crowd immediately exploded.

After Wen Zhizhen arrived, he revealed his identity, chatted and laughed with everyone, and talked about the prospects of the imperial examination. He was funny and quoted from many sources when he spoke. In addition, with the beauty by his side, he gained quite a reputation. While sketching the blueprint, he secretly whispered slogans. Over time, everyone will feel good about it, pay special attention to the information revealed in his words, and regard it as the truth.

At this time, someone suddenly said that Wen Zhizhen had misled people's future, which naturally caused thousands of waves.

Someone immediately asked: "Why did Brother Feng say this?"

The man surnamed Feng sneered: "The great affairs of the imperial court are the concern of Duke Gungun. The imperial examination is not a trivial matter. It attracts the attention of millions. Even if you want to change your studies, it will not be much simpler. Besides, no matter how you change, you will still need a lot of moves." How much difference can it make if we fight for it?”

He said as he walked upstairs.

"Besides, if you want to figure out the changes in the imperial examination and formulate countermeasures, you should have thought about it a few months ago. Even if you know it now, how much change can it make? Even if the examination this year suddenly tests new schools, can we prepare for it if we guess it three days in advance? What a joke! It can only mess up your mind in vain, and you can't use 30% of your ability. It's better to go back and review the past and learn new things instead of listening to people bragging here." After he finished speaking, he ignored the eyes of others and went straight to the second floor and returned to his room.

These words made Qiu Yan a little interested, and his eyes followed the man.

"Feng Zhao is still the same." Luo Jiayun shook his head.

"Oh? Brother Luo is familiar with this person?" Qiu Yan asked.

Luo Jiayun shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with him. I've talked to him a few times. His name is Feng Zhao. He's actually quite knowledgeable, but he's not good at talking to people. But he's always very sharp in his views. Every time I see him, I can feel that he's sarcastic about the world."

"Let's not talk about this for now," Zhou Guan interrupted the two of them and came to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, are there any vacancies in the store?"

"You're late. This Mr. Wen just checked in." The shopkeeper shook his head.

Zhou Guan was puzzled and said, "There are two vacant rooms. Wen Zhizhen has one. Isn't there another one?"

"That one belongs to me!"

Just then, a crisp and lively voice came from behind the crowd. Several people looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman with fair skin, wearing a leather military uniform, a fur scarf around her neck, and a red cloak behind her. She looked heroic.

In an instant, Luo Jiayun, Zhou Guan and others felt amazed.

"You are..." Cao Hanqi asked subconsciously, but the woman glared at him, and he immediately felt ashamed and lowered his head.

"Humph, that's all you have." The woman smiled faintly and turned to look at the center of the hall.

Noticing the gaze of the cloaked woman, the graceful woman sitting next to Wen Zhizhen suddenly frowned and stood up and said, "Pang Qianru, it's you again! I was wondering why there is a room but I can't get it!"

"Xu Ran, I told you, don't think you can have the last laugh by sticking around him!" The cloaked woman Pang Qianru smiled triumphantly, raised her chin, swept her eyes across Wen Zhizhen's face, then turned around and went upstairs directly.

Looking at such a situation, everyone present could not tell what was going on.

The graceful woman Xu Ran turned her head and looked at Wen Zhizhen, whispering: "Zhizhen, look at this Pang Qianru, how domineering, in my opinion, it is better to change an inn, this inn..." She looked around, and although she didn't say the rest of the words, the hidden meaning was revealed.

Wen Zhizhen smiled bitterly: "If we change an inn, I can't afford it."

"It doesn't matter, I'm still here." Xu Ran said quickly.

Wen Zhizhen shook his head: "I can't use your money." He said this in a low voice, then stood up and bowed to the people around him, and then left with Xu Ran. The shopkeeper and the waiter personally led the way, respectfully.

After the two went up to the second floor, people in the lobby began to talk.

"As expected of a famous romantic talent..."

"That's right. It hasn't been long since he arrived in Xingjing, and such a scene of 'two women fighting for a husband' has been staged."

"This is incredible. You probably don't know the identities of Xu Ran and Pang Qianru. Tsk tsk, these two are not ordinary women. Xu Ran's grandfather Xu Jin..."

Immediately, someone started to expose the news, causing others to be shocked.

"My goodness, one is the granddaughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is the daughter of a general. Is Wen Zhizhen the same as the talent in the play?"

On this side, everyone was envious, while on the other side, Zhou Guan and others had a headache.

"All the rooms are gone. It seems that Wen Zhizhen has just arrived. If he had arrived earlier..."

The waiter and the shopkeeper came back at this time. Hearing his words, the waiter couldn't help but said, "For a talented man like Wen, even if he comes a little later, we should give him a room. It's hard to expect such a person to come to our store."

"Snobbish!" Zhou Guan frowned immediately, "Wen Zhizhen is famous for his calligraphy and painting, but my friend is also famous. Even the great scholars in Dongdu value him very much!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, the waiter hadn't reacted yet. The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Qiu Yan carefully. As expected, he felt that he was unusual, so he asked, "What is the name of this young man? Which academy is he from?"

Qiu Yan smiled slightly and looked over: "I am Qiu Yan, not a big shot."

Unexpectedly, when he reported his name, the shopkeeper was stunned immediately.

"But is it Qiu Yan and Qiu Shenzhi from 'Nine Paintings of Ancient Times'?"
