Although Zhang Jin's bedroll was still lying in the government office, he only came back to stay for one night. Occasionally he would stay up all night, cleaning himself up all day and going to other people's banquets to eat and drink.
few.
He received the news too late and couldn't squeeze in. He looked at the swarming heads behind the crowd and stood in the distance with his arms crossed.
"Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin! Get out of the way!" Zhang Jin hooked up with a group of younger brothers because of his behavior at the entrance of the examination room. The younger brother No. 1 squeezed in at the front and exaggeratedly shouted, "Zhang Jin, you've won, Grade One,
One armor!"
Brother No. 2 echoed: "Hey, Zhang Jin is our good brother. My brother won the first prize! Maybe he can win the top prize in the imperial examination!"
Brother No. 3: "My brother is so awesome! Look for our own! My name is in the top three list! I am number 103! I also won!"
Brother No. 1: "I got it, I got it too!"
After watching the lively scene for a long time, Zhang Jin waved his hand as he looked at the rosy-faced brothers: "Today's lunch at Tanchun Tower, I'm treating you!"
Some are happy and some are sad.
The shopkeeper of Tanchunlou was all smiles. The store was full and there were no empty tables, so he set up more than a dozen tables outside the store along the lake. It was a perfect spring day, and enjoying the lakeside scenery was also a major feature.
All major restaurants also took out the list of high school students. There was no room for them originally. Zhang Jin reported his name, and the shopkeeper personally welcomed them out and led several people to the table to sit down.
"Today, the shop will give away eight plates of cold dishes and free drinks. I wish all our guests a good time."
"Is there such a good thing?" It was rare to be able to drink with open belly. Zhang Jin waved his hand and said, "Ten pounds of good wine will be served first! You order, I will drink two bowls to satisfy my craving."
His heroic demeanor made the shopkeeper almost think that he was Zhang Jin imposter. Isn't it said that all literati are reserved and elegant? How can anyone drink from a bowl?
However, the shopkeeper was very thoughtful. Among the three people in the first class, Zhang Jin was a military householder. I heard that he was serving in the army before he came to Beijing to take the exam. His drinking ability may have been developed in the army.
"Okay, guest, please wait a moment, the wine and food will be here soon!"
There were many people today, so the food was not served very quickly, but there were cold dishes as a base. I occasionally heard a few complaints from the table next door, but there was no trouble.
"Master Jin, our brothers will follow you from now on. If you have connections in the court, you should support us a little!"
Zhang Jin offended an official of the Ministry of Rites on the spot, so much so that he almost pointed his nose at the Minister of Rites and scolded him. Now he is still alive and well, and he is even on the first-class list, which means that there must be someone protecting him in the court, otherwise
It’s just that he has real abilities!
No matter which way it is, it is better to hug his thigh tightly than to be treated like a dog. They are all poor people. They cannot afford to hand over the certificate of surrender. Even if they hand in the certificate of nomination against their conscience, if they are abandoned in the future, they will be abandoned.
Not worth it...
"Come on, come on, Master Jin, let me toast you!"
There is a lot of commotion on their side, and of course some people will be dissatisfied.
As soon as Zhang Jin finished his bowl of wine, he was laughed at by the people at the next table.
"If you have such bad luck, you feel you are superior to others. Who knows if it is due to nepotism..."
Although Zhang Jin deliberately concealed his relationship with Si Yiluo from everyone, he could not hide it from those who were keeping an eye on him or those who deliberately looked for trouble.
"What did you say?"
Someone at the table couldn't stand listening and stood up to say something, but the other person's attitude became more and more arrogant.
"That's right. Didn't you just ask him if he had any backers in the court? Did you ask him if he had any backers? I saw him enter the devil's mansion with my own eyes. He was there all those nights when he was not with you.
The Si Mansion is spending the night!"
"Hehe, the female devil is famous for her indulging in both meat and vegetables. Maybe she has never tried anything like this before! She looks like a human being, but when she does something bad, she always betrays her appearance..."
"What do you think you can get by following him? Maybe it's just sex!"
The quarrel between the two parties caused others to stop. The people sitting at the same table as Zhang Jin were all furious. They rolled up their sleeves and prepared to use elegant words to greet each other's eighteen generations of ancestors.
Zhang Jin took a leisurely sip of wine and dissuaded him: "When I was fighting with Beiliao in Guancheng, what bad words didn't I hear? Only those beasts in Beiliao liked to spit excrement in their mouths, spit it out and then eat it back.
These people may be Beiliao's hidden spies, don't talk to them, they will be thrown into prison for us later...Who can we talk to to reason?"
The people at the table next to me were not happy yet. They quickly struck the table and pointed at him and asked: "Who do you think is a beast? You are the one who spits shit!"
The point was wrong. The people at the same table with him reacted and hurriedly stopped him.
"The surnamed Zhang, you have to pay attention to evidence when you speak. You framed us as a secret agent of Bei Liao. Do you have evidence? Even if your mistress is Si Yiluo, don't even think of falsely accusing us!"
Zhang Jin was still holding the bowl of wine. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "I didn't say that you are being meticulous. I only said that only the people in Beiliao like to spit shit. If you admit that you are spitting shit, then you won't
Do you admit that you are from Beiliao?"
"This is the Shengjing City of our Great Zhou Dynasty. The situation between the two sides is not very friendly now. The people from the Northern Liao Dynasty who appeared in Shengjing City for no reason are just being careful!"
"you……"
The person over there was so angry that his face was red from his neck to his face, but he couldn't say a word.
Zhang Jin smacked his lips and said: "The quarrels between scholars are too elegant and boring. I miss the days of scolding those barbarians from Beiliao on the city wall. Do you believe that I can make them cry..."
The younger brother No. 1 swallowed, nodded and said: "Xin. So what, Mr. Jin, the backer behind you is really Mr. Si..."
Zhang Jin rolled his eyes at him.
"I was also on the battlefield in Guancheng. Wasn't Si Yiluo just a small soldier before he became famous? We are all buddies. We don't want to rely on others. We don't want to form cliques! We don't want to bully others, you know?
?”
"knew……"
After tapping one by one, Zhang Jin greeted everyone: "Eat the food, eat the food. The food will be cold in a while."
The people at the table next to them finished their meals and paid quickly and left. Their table was set from noon to evening, and then from evening until the restaurant closed.
"Ma, there will be a curfew soon. Let's go back quickly..."
Zhang Jin took out a silver ingot from his arms and paid the bill. He staggered as he walked, and was helped by two or three people as he walked along the lake.
"Come in, master, take your old age, where are you going?"
A group of people were wandering around the street like headless flies until one of them slapped his forehead.
"Where else can I send it to? Of course it's to the Si Mansion..."
"Yes, let's do it!"
A quarter of an hour later, everyone stood in front of the Si Mansion. The grand door was open on both sides, and Zhang Jin had already fallen asleep.
Brother No. 1 wiped the sweat from his face and said uncertainly: "Let's, let's send Mr. Jin here, okay, okay?"
"Okay, okay."
"But, I heard, I heard...do you think we will lose our virginity?"
It is said that Si Yiluo is a female devil who eats people without spitting out their bones, and is also a lustful demon. They are all small people, and everyone is afraid.
The clatter of horse hooves stepped on the heartstrings, and the blood vessels on several people's foreheads jumped.
"What are you doing?" A female voice came from behind. Si Yiluo's eyes fell on Zhang Jin, who was unaware of his personnel, "Are you Zhang Jin's friends?"
During this period, Zhang Jin was pretending to be a pig and trying to win over people, while Si Yiluo turned a blind eye. This guy had been following Xiping Hou for a long time. Like Xiang Xiao, he seemed careless on the surface and had a carefree temper.
, in fact, there are as many eyes as holes.
By being drunk, she was recruiting talents for her.
"The curfew is about to begin, please send him in."
Brother No. 1's heart skipped a beat, the hair on his back stood up, and he looked at the other people with stiff eyes.
