Li Yunxing raised the corners of his lips indifferently.

"In as little as half a month, you will receive the good news that Chu State is out of trouble. Then you will know whether I am lying to you."

After saying that, Li Yunxing patted her butt again.

"Remember, don't try to escape or contact other forces, otherwise it will be difficult for you to leave the Wu Dynasty alive. Do you understand?"

Kuixing Tower is now one of the inns in the capital that is already full.

Most students from various counties will live here.

This is also an inn arranged by Prince Li Yunxing to provide food and accommodation for poor families for free.

Qin Mo, who was favored by the Lian family, also lived here.

It's just that although most of them are from poor families, each one has his or her own connections, and everyone comes to take part in the examination, so naturally there is a competitive relationship.

You find it distasteful to me, and I find it even more annoying to you.

In this situation, who can make it easier for whom?

"Brother Qin!"

There were two knocks on the door outside the room, followed by a hearty laugh.

The man was also very familiar with him. He pushed the door open and walked straight to the table and sat down: "Brother Qin, why didn't you go to the cultural gathering organized by Mr. Zhu today?"

Qin Mo put down the book in his hand, stood up and said, "These are just social events between officials. Qin is not interested, but Brother Liu seems to be looking very good today."

While talking, a cup of tea was delivered to the other party.

Liu Wenju laughed when he heard this and did not force anything, but just nodded to express his understanding.

His name is Liu Wenju, and he is the same age as Qin Mo. He was the Yayuan of Hanzhong County in Yizhou last year, that is, he came in second in the provincial examination.

Every student who can come to the capital to take the examination has been screened at all levels, and there is no need to mention the difficulty.

Being able to come to the capital means that you will definitely have a successful career in the future.

Therefore, many dignitaries in the officialdom would hold banquets for various reasons before the imperial examination began.

The purpose is to contact the "emotions" in advance, so that if they succeed in the future, they will take care of each other.

Of course, this also includes the exchange of experiences, resources, etc.

Qin Mo is a thin-skinned scholar. There are only a few acres of thin farmland in his hometown and he can't even afford decent clothes. He will inevitably be laughed at when he participates in such literary gatherings.

As for Liu Wenju, his family background is much better than that of Qin Mo.

My father is the chief registrar of the county. Although he is not a high-ranking official, he is still in the ninth rank.

Now that he has obtained meritorious service, if he wants to continue to advance in the future, he will need a suitable platform.

When I came to the capital this time, I naturally hoped to take the opportunity to attach myself to a high-ranking official or an important minister of the imperial court, so that I could develop better in the future.

Therefore, compared to Qin Mo, who was dull and cheerful, Liu Wenju was obviously more open-minded in this capital.

Even in this small Kuixing Tower, many people admired him very much. They felt that Liu Wenju was well-educated, courteous and sensible, and that his future achievements would be limitless.

Liu Wenju himself was naturally happy to make friends with these people.

After all, the better you manage things up and down, the easier it is for you to make a profit!

"Brother Qin, I know you never like these arty and flattering things, but I came to you today because of the matter of worshiping Kuixing during this Qiao Qiao Festival." Liu Wenju smiled, very mysteriously.

On the Qiqiao Festival, women worship the Weaver Girl and men worship Kuixing.

Kuixing Ye is Kui Douxing. Folks believe that Kuixing Ye is in charge of civil affairs, and he is responsible for taking exams. Therefore, many scholars who want to seek fame will worship Kuixing Ye on the Chinese Valentine's Day and pray to him to bless them with success in exams.

, title on the gold list.

Speaking of this matter, Qin Mo became interested.

Although studying is something that God rewards hard work, luck is also very important, especially for big things like the imperial examination. If you don't have good luck, then no matter how hard you work, you may not be able to get into high school.

Seeing that Qin Mo was a little shaken, Liu Wenju became even more instigated.

"Brother Qin, it's already this time. If you continue to read, good people will become fools. You are very talented. What you lack is not strength, but opportunity!"

After saying that, Liu Wenju put the envelope he was holding on the table and pushed it to Qin Mo: "This is an invitation from Mr. Liu, the Prime Minister of the DPRK, inviting more than a dozen Jieyuan people in the city to attend an event held by the Liu Mansion.

When we pay a visit, Brother Qin is one of them!"

An invitation from the Liu family?

Qin Mo looked at the envelope and saw that there was indeed a message inside.

"How about it? With this invitation, we can go to the banquet tomorrow!"

Liu Wenju looked at Qin Mo expectantly, as if waiting for Qin Mo to agree.

It's not that Qin Mo doesn't know about Liu Zhongqing, but he has benefited from the Lian family in the past, and now he has to attend the Liu family's visit, and he always feels guilty.

Seeing his hesitation, Liu Wenju urged him urgently: "Brother Qin, don't blame me for not reminding you. This Prime Minister is the leader of all officials. Who dares to turn against him easily? If you don't seize the opportunity, you will be in danger."

If you miss it, you will regret it!"

These words sounded like they were for Qin Mo's benefit, but upon closer inspection they felt extremely awkward.

Qin Mo must be lying if he says he doesn't want to go. Who doesn't want to see the majesty of the current prime minister?

But, this wants the Lian family to know how he should deal with himself?

How should we face Lian Jirou in the future?

The more Qin Mo thought about it, the more his head hurt.

Seeing this, Liu Wenju immediately offered words of comfort: "Brother Qin, don't worry about this. I know you must like the Miss Lian family, but if you are just a commoner, do you think there is hope for you?"

Liu Wenju captured his fate with just one sentence.

Qin Mo suddenly blushed with embarrassment, "This, Miss Lian...how do you know?"

Seeing his appearance, Liu Wenju snorted in his heart: What a fool! He can't even see through this, and still wants to pursue Lian Jirou. It's simply a fool's errand.

Cursing secretly in his heart, Liu Wenju showed what he thought was a kind smile: "Oh, last time you were drunk and cried all the time to find Miss Lian, and you also told the dandy brother next to her to stay away from her. Don't you think so?

Forgot?"

Liu Wenju's words immediately made Qin Mo blush.

Last time when he was drunk, he did do a lot of crazy things, such as holding Lian Jirou and shouting something, and saying that he wanted to marry her...

But at that time, Qin Mo was not just talking nonsense after drinking. Ever since he met Lian Jirou when he was a child, he had no one else in his heart.

Over the past year, he has tried to propose marriage several times, but the Lian family has not relented, and recently even refused to see guests. Qin Mo knows that Lian Jirou is not willing to marry him. After all, her marriage is a major matter.

It's not up to her to decide.

"Then...that's because I was drunk..."

Liu Wenju glanced at him, disdainful of the sour and rotten look on his body.
