The dinner was held because of the county examination, so the venue was set at Baihe Academy.
The county government specially designated a restaurant to be responsible for it. In addition to the top five in the county examination, the people attending the banquet were several county officials and edicts.
Since he was an official, he naturally would not arrive so early, so everyone who had arrived, including Chen Mo, seemed very relaxed and chatting with each other was quite lively.
"Brother, what's your surname?"
While Chen Mo was doing nothing, a man came from the side, wearing the clothes of Donglou Town Academy.
Donglou Town is where Qin Xianglian's natal family is, which makes Chen Mo feel a little warm.
"If your surname is Chen, just call me Chen Mo."
"Little brother Shen Tao."
After announcing his home, Shen Tao looked Chen Mo up and down.
"Brother Chen is from Qingyang Academy?"
"Yes." Chen Mo nodded.
"Do you know Wang Jun, who placed third in the county examination this time?" Shen Tao continued to ask.
"I've met him a few times, but I'm not familiar with him." Chen Mo responded and asked, "Why did Brother Shen mention him?"
"Nothing, I'm just curious. Among the top five in the county examination, only Wang Jun is from Qingyang Academy. Is there another reason why Brother Chen is here?"
"Well, there are other reasons." Chen Mo smiled.
"Since it's not convenient for Brother Chen to say it, I won't ask. Let's have a couple of drinks later." Shen Tao said, motioning for Chen Mo to enter the room.
"Brother Shen, it's not that it's inconvenient for him to say it, but he doesn't dare to say it."
At this moment, three people walked next to them, and the person speaking was none other than Wang Jun.
The two people next to me are both from Sanma Town Academy. The taller one is called Qian Song and the short one is called Qian Bo. They are brothers of the same family and were among the top four or five in the county examination.
"Brother Wang, what do you mean by this?"
When he saw Wang Jun, Shen Tao's tone was a bit colder, and he obviously didn't like it.
"Nothing else, I just want to remind Brother Shen that it is best not to get too close to this person, so as not to get a bad reputation and delay your future."
After Wang Jun finished speaking, he looked at Chen Mo, his eyes full of disdain and provocation.
Although they both studied in Qingyang Academy, Chen Mo only went to attend classes on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, while Wang Jun lived in the academy, so the two rarely interacted with each other.
Of course, this does not prevent Wang Jun from taking the initiative to find trouble.
Before the county examination, he had heard Wang Quan talking about Chen Mo to Wang Fuxing. At that time, one of them was furious, and the other gnashed his teeth, wishing to get rid of Chen Mo.
Now that I finally came across an opportunity, I naturally had to let it out.
Shen Tao felt baffled, so he responded with a cold face: "Brother Wang, just mind your own business, and I just met Brother Chen, what can he do to ruin my future?"
"In this case, I will give Brother Shen a free science education on this person's various deeds. After hearing this, Brother Shen will naturally thank me for this kindness."
"Brother Chen, let's go." Shen Tao was too lazy to continue.
"Brother Shen, he has a mouth, so you can say whatever you want." Chen Mo didn't take it seriously, "And I also want to hear what flowers he can say."
"Okay, as long as you have the guts."
Wang Jun chuckled, pointed at Chen Mo and started to arrange them.
"As you know, this man has been living on a soft diet for many years. I pity the beautiful little lady in his family. In just two or three years, she has almost turned into a yellow-faced woman."
As Wang Jun spoke, he made exaggerated movements, which made Qian Song and Qian Bo laugh.
Shen Tao was the complete opposite. While frowning, there was obvious disgust on his face.
"Brother Wang, keep your words in mind. Not everyone is like you, born in a wealthy family, and never has to worry about food, rice, oil and salt."
"As far as I know, there are quite a few scholars like Brother Chen. This is a deplorable hardship in life, but how come it has become a laughing stock in your mouth?"
"He is the butt of the joke." Wang Jun suddenly raised his voice, "Brother Shen must have heard that during the county examination, a candidate corrupted the etiquette and was expelled from the examination room by Lu Jiaoyu. That candidate was none other than you. Chen Mo next to me. His final result was the bottom and last place."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you really can't tell by appearance. If Brother Wang hadn't pointed it out, I really wouldn't have noticed." Qian Song said with a smile.
"In my opinion, it is extremely difficult to be ranked last in the exam." Qian Bo blew the cold wind.
"Brother Chen, is this really true?"
Shen Tao was greatly surprised, but did not show any discrimination.
"It's true." Chen Mo smiled and nodded.
"Chen Mo, you are the last one to laugh, but you have lost face as a scholar." Wang Jun scolded angrily, "I just pity that little lady, who worked day and night for you to study, but in the end you didn't pass the exam. , but it has become the biggest joke in the county, you are really promising."
"What does it have to do with you?" Chen Mo began to fight back.
"How come it doesn't matter?" Wang Jun shouted sternly, "One rat droppings can spoil a pot of porridge. You can be shameless, but don't bring shame on all the students in the county."
"Wang Jun, you are going too far." Shen Tao couldn't stand listening anymore, "We are all students, why should we be so targeted? Besides, what about Brother Chen? That is his own business and has nothing to do with you? As for Brother Chen You can't talk nonsense about your family or family matters."
"Okay, it seems that my good intentions have been misunderstood by you. If that's the case, then you can continue to have a good relationship with Chen Mo. If you don't keep it together, you can get a big advantage." Wang Jun said with a sneer.
"Wang Jun, I just met Brother Chen. If you can take advantage of him, you must be responsible for what you say." Shen Tao was angry.
Seeing this, Wang Jun chuckled.
"Brother Shen, it was a slip of the tongue. What I meant was that you have to be wary of this person. He has many schemes." Wang Jun continued to arrange.
"In order to defraud my uncle's land, he even dared to contact the gang of Yaxing. There is nothing he can't do. It's a pity that the little lady was sold to a brothel at a low price one day if she couldn't save her money."
"Have you finished speaking?" Chen Mo narrowed his eyes.
Wang Jun can ignore it no matter how he arranges it, but he cannot bear to talk about Qin Xianglian over and over again.
"Why, do you still want to take action?" Wang Jun shouted.
"You're right, I just want to take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mo grabbed Wang Jun's clothes, pulled him to him and slapped him.
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, Wang Jun's face suddenly swelled.
It seemed that he was stunned, or that he didn't expect Chen Mo to dare to take action. In short, Wang Jun didn't make any reaction.
He was like this, and so were Shen Tao and others. They were all instantly petrified on the spot.
It wasn't until Chen Mo slapped him again that Wang Jun let out a scream.
"Brother Chen, stop, stop quickly." Shen Tao hurriedly tried to persuade him, "This is the academy, you must not mess around, otherwise you will really cause big trouble."
roll!
Chen Mo was not afraid of getting into trouble, but he was worried that if he continued to fight, he would accidentally slap Wang Jun to death.
"Chen, please wait for me. I will go find Lu Jiaoyu right now. Not only will you be removed from the academy, but you will also be handed over to the officials."
With stars in his eyes, Wang Jun staggered to walk out.
"If something is embarrassing, the bad guys should complain first, right?"
