Taibai Tower is located on the main street in the north axis of the city. It is four stories high and decorated with great style. It is one of the largest restaurants in Nanchang. Officials and merchants in the city like to have banquets here.

However, today's Taibai Building was crowded with candidates from all prefectures. The college examination results were released, and those who were on the list naturally generously donated money and invited all the classmates to sing and drink.

Xu Jin, surrounded by classmates and friends, came outside Taibai Restaurant. At this time, a slovenly middle-aged scholar was picked out by the restaurant's waiter.

The middle-aged scholar struggled and shouted: "This is unreasonable. How can you treat a scholar so rudely? Let me go, I will leave on my own."

The two waiters ignored him, carried the scholar to the door and threw him out. The scholar immediately rolled to the street in a panic.

"Bah, you guys who look down on others, you won't come even if you invite me!" The middle-aged scholar stood up and said angrily.

One of the waiters said with a mocking look on his face: "Our Taibai Restaurant can't afford to hire you Tang Talent, so I won't send you away. Besides, our shopkeeper said that the two taels of silver that Tang Talent owes our restaurant will be waived, but we won't do it here in the future."

Welcome Tang Caizi."

Another waiter even scolded him directly: "What a bullshit talent. You can spend your talent as money. Just eat and drink for free. If you are drunk and crazy, get out of here. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will beat your legs!"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you illiterate people!" The middle-aged scholar patted his clothes, turned around and was about to leave, but he bumped into Xu Jin and others, and immediately stood up in embarrassment.

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Brother Ziwei, we really meet each other everywhere in life!"

This middle-aged scholar was none other than the great talent Tang Bohu.

Tang Bohu looked quite embarrassed, cupped his hands and said: "Brother Ziqian, congratulations on taking the lead in the trial case."

The two men behind Xu Jin rolled up their sleeves and were about to come forward to give Tang Bohu a slap in the face. Last time, this guy tricked Uncle Ten into meeting Xiao Huakui. As a result, Uncle Ten was arrested by Prince Ning and almost missed the college examination.

.

Xu Jin quickly stopped the idiot Er Niu and said, "Thank you. Brother Ziwei, are you interested in having a drink together?"

Tang Bohu glanced at the unkind-looking scholars around Xu Jin, and said sensibly: "Brother Zi Qian is kind enough to understand, let's wait for another day, I have other things to do today!"

Although Tang Bohu was thick-skinned, he almost caused Xu Jin to miss the hospital exam last time, so he still had the nerve to eat Xu Jin's celebratory meal.

Xu Jin did not force himself. Just as he was about to enter the restaurant with his classmates, Tang Bohu suddenly shouted: "Brother Ziqian, stay here."

Xu Jin stopped and turned around and asked, "What's the matter with Brother Ziwei?"

Tang Bohu said sarcastically: "Brother Ziqian, can you please take a moment to speak?"

Fei Maoxian quickly shook his head to signal Xu Jin not to agree, and Fei Maozhong said coldly: "Tang Ziwei, Zi Qian was not hurt badly enough by you last time. Is there anything you can't say in person?"

Xu Jin waved it off and said: "Minshou, Brother Ziwei probably didn't know about the last incident, so it's none of his business. Please wait a moment while Brother Ziwei and I have a private chat."

Tang Bohu showed a hint of gratitude in his eyes, turned around and walked to the other side of the street without walking too far. Xu Jin followed and said with a smile: "What's the matter with Ziwei? But the twenty paintings you owe me have been completed?"

Tang Bohu said awkwardly: "I haven't started writing yet, but since Mr. Tang promised Brother Ziqian, he will definitely keep his promise. What happened last time... I'm really sorry. Also, Mr. Xiao asked me to bring this to

you!"

Tang Bohu said that he took out a piece of pink paper from his arms and handed it to him. Xu Jin frowned, took it, opened it, glanced at it, and put it away calmly. The content of the paper was nothing more than an apology.

Xu Jin didn't even bother to take a closer look.

"Brother Ziqian, the Xiao family has also been taken advantage of by Prince Ning. I hope you can understand!" Tang Bohu said sincerely.

"I understand!" Xu Jin said calmly. As a brothel girl, she really couldn't refuse Prince Ning in Nanchang. But understanding is understanding, but it does not mean that she will forgive. Xu Jin is not a holy mother.

People can make calculations and still think it's nothing.

What's more, Xiao Yuxue's nature is different from that of Tang Bohu. Tang Bohu didn't know about it in advance, but Xiao Yuxue took the initiative to cooperate with Prince Ning to deceive her. If it were another young scholar with strong blood, he might have fallen into Xiao Yuxue's seduction, and not only would he have missed the chance.

In the college examination, your reputation will be tarnished.

Although Tang Bohu is in his forties, he is really lacking in emotional intelligence. His friend Wen Zhengming wrote a letter to advise him to stop behaving frivolously and to concentrate on the imperial examination, otherwise he will achieve nothing in the future. Tang Bohu replied on the spot, and his general meaning was:

:I’m just such a dick, it’s up to you whether you want to date me or not.

Because of this letter, Wen Zhengming broke off diplomatic relations with Tang Bohu for many years. It can be seen that Tang Bohu's emotional intelligence is indeed very low, and it is not without reason that he is like this. At this time, when Xu Jin said that he understood, he actually thought that Xu Jin had really forgiven him.

Xiao Yuxue said with a smile: "My master is indeed right. Zi Qian is indeed a broad-minded man. Unfortunately, the Xiao family has already left Nanchang by boat. If there is an opportunity in the future, let's drink wine and enjoy music again. Wouldn't it be wonderful!"

It is said that since the first day of the college examination, the news broke that Xu Jin was arrested by Prince Ning and sent to the palace. Some scholars went outside the courtyard in the east of the city to scold Xiao Yuxue for being shameless. Xiao Yuxue was shocked and angry, worried that staying in Nanchang would get her burned.

So I packed up and left the next day.

Xu Jin was speechless towards this great talent of the Tang Dynasty. Suddenly he rolled his eyes and lowered his voice and said: "Brother Ziwei, do you want to leave Nanchang?"

Tang Bohu was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "I don't understand what brother Zi Qian means!"

"Don't worry about what I mean. I'm just asking you if you want to leave Nanchang and get rid of Prince Ning's Mansion!"

Tang Bohu's face changed slightly. He naturally wanted to leave Nanchang. At first, he was tricked into working as an aide in Prince Ning's Mansion. Later, he gradually realized that Prince Ning actually had the intention of rebelling.

He complained, but it was just to vent his dissatisfaction with reality. He had no desire to rebel, let alone the courage. You must know that rebellion is a serious crime against the Nine Clans.

So Tang Bohu had wanted to leave Prince Ning's Mansion for a long time, but Prince Ning would not let him go easily. Because of this, Tang Bohu pretended to be crazy and stupid during this period, just to make Prince Ning take the initiative to drive him away.

Tang Bohu glanced around and whispered: "Brother Ziqian...do you have a good idea?"

Xu Jin said it so straightforwardly, Tang Bohu was naturally embarrassed to pretend to be confused anymore.

Xu Jin smiled "evilly" and whispered something into Tang Bohu's ear. The latter's face suddenly turned red and he said repeatedly: "No, no, this is too degrading!"

Xu Jin said disapprovingly: "Brother Ziwei defecated at the city gate and peed in the Ganjiang River in front of Tengwang Pavilion, so why should he care about doing one more outrageous thing?"

"How can that be confused... Oh, I'll think about it again!"

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Brother Ziwei, think about it carefully!" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his classmates across the street.

Fei Maozhong asked curiously: "Zi Qian, what did you say to Tang Ziwei?"

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Just chat for a few words, let's go in!"

Everyone entered the Taibai Building and found that both the first and second floors were full. Only the third floor had seats, so they could only set up two tables on the third floor. With more than 20 people squeezed in, they could barely fit in.

.

Not long after Xu Jin and other candidates from Guangxin Prefecture sat down, another group of candidates came to the third floor. They happened to be the candidates from Nanchang Prefecture, most of whom they had met at Tengwang Pavilion that day.

All the candidates in Nanchang Prefecture were shocked when they saw Xu Jin and others. The leader of Yuzhang Academy, Li Zhe, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and bowed his hands and said: "Congratulations to Brother Xu for being the first in the academy examination and winning the county examination again.

Exam, the first of the three cases in the hospital examination!"

Xu Jin stood up and returned the courtesy with his hands in hand. Seeing this, other scholars from Nanchang Mansion came forward to congratulate him. The atmosphere suddenly became harmonious. Perhaps this is the so-called "no acquaintance without fighting".

As a result, the scholars from the two houses soon mingled together, toasting each other, discussing poetry and drinking, and it was very lively.

During the banquet, Yuan Cheng came to Xu Jin with a wine glass, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Expressor Xu, I would like to propose a toast to you!"

Yuan Cheng was ranked at the bottom of the deputy list in the first round. He thought he had no hope of passing the academy examination, but in the final list, he was among the top 100. He successfully passed the academy examination and won the title of scholar. This naturally made Yuan Cheng overjoyed.

Xu Jin guessed that the reason why Yuan Cheng turned around was probably related to his mention to Sun Sui that night. He picked up his wine glass and had a drink with Yuan Cheng, and said with a smile: "Congratulations!"

Yuan Cheng was obviously in a good mood and said with a smile: "Yuan Jian's poetry is unparalleled, and the boy's victory in the Xiao San Yuan test is unprecedented. Shouldn't he be reciting one at this moment?"

"Yes, yes, if you have good wine, how can you not have good poetry? Don't be polite, Mr. Xu, and continue to hit us with "Linjiang Fairy"!"

"Haha, not bad, we can afford it!"

All the candidates in Nanchang Prefecture immediately began to boo. It seemed that they were still a little unconvinced after being defeated by Xu Jin in Tengwang Pavilion that day!

Fei Maozhong smiled and said: "Zi Qian, do your duty, don't let them look down upon you!"

The classmates in Guangxin Mansion also started thinking about it. Xu Jin had to stand up and said with a smile: "It's okay, but everyone here can't run away. Let's each sing a song and let me introduce you to others!"

"Xu Sanyuan, wait a minute, waiter, I'm waiting for you with pen and ink. Today, the poems of everyone here will be recorded. I will pay for it to be printed into a book of poems. How about one copy for each person?" A wealthy local candidate from Nanchang Prefecture said loudly.

Everyone immediately cheered in unison, this was a good opportunity to become famous, not to mention you didn’t have to spend any money.

Soon, the waiter took the pen and ink upstairs, and Wang Dacan volunteered to be the transcriber.

"Xu Jianshou can start!" someone shouted loudly.

Xu Jin smiled and chanted loudly: "Li and Du's poems have been passed down through the ages, but they are no longer new. Talents have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years."
Chapter completed!
