(If you have something to do today, I will update it for the first time, and I will make up for it for the third update tomorrow!)

In the evening, the wind is fine, dry and cold...

Ye Outong took a shower and changed his clothes, and called Chen Sanlang in a brand-new fashion. He was followed by a companion named "A Feng". He was born to the Ye family. He was strong and very strong. He went to Chang'an all the way, and he was like Ye Outong's bodyguard, who was loyal to protect him.

"The road is long, let's go, don't be late. They have something to say, saying that we are afraid of going..."

Chen Sanlang nodded and went downstairs with him.

There were some guests sitting on the first floor of the inn. Since there were still a long time before the examination, there were not many candidates to arrive in Chang'an now, so most of the tourists staying at Yunlai Inn are merchants.

Huh!

Suddenly, seven or eight people rushed in, leading the leader, with a wealthy man, big bra, round waist, a brocade robe, and a sable coat. He stepped onto the counter and pointed at the shopkeeper and shouted, "Shopkeeper Qian, you are so unreasonable."

When Manager Qian saw him, he quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Cai, what are you going to teach me?"

Mr. Cai couldn't help but feel angry: "Shopkeeper Qian, don't pretend to be confused. My servant came to get the wine just now. Did you tell him that the jar of bamboo leaf green was sold to someone else?"

"good."

Bang!

Boss Cai slapped the counter and almost shouted: "I think your inn wants to close the door!"

Manager Qian smiled and said, "Mr. Cai, I will listen to my explanation..."

"Stop talking nonsense, who did you sell to? I want to see who hasn't made this trick bright, come and compete with me for wine?"

Manager Qian sighed and said, "Mr. Cai. It's just a jar of wine, why bother to ask the bottom line?"

Mr. Cai sneered "hehe". Looking at the other person's face, it seemed that he wanted to dig out some valuable clues. He knew the manager Qian well. He dared to brush his face and sell the ordered wine to others, which only explains one thing-

Others will not be less than themselves!

But Mr. Cai is also a well-known figure in this area. How could he suffer a loss in a mess?

His principle of doing things is: facial skin can be damaged, but we must understand who was damaged, and we must also find out whether the other party has such qualifications.

"Oh, Chen Jieyuan, you're down, hurry up and say something to my shopkeeper."

The waiter was sharp-eyed and screamed.

Chen Sanlang frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

"That bottle of wine last night..."

This waiter is a smart person. He deliberately stopped halfway through his words, but it was enough to point out the situation.

Sure enough, Mr. Cai stared at Chen Sanlang with his eyes burning, and he was very angry when he saw him. He heard the waiter just called him "Chen Jieyuan". Could it be that he was a candidate from another province to participate in the imperial examination? And it seemed that he was still a Jieyuan...

But it is wrong. The so-called "Xieyuan" is more about its good reputation and its actual status is just a level higher than that of ordinary people. He is also a guy from another province. Why is it that the shopkeeper Qian sells the wine to him?

As a time-honored brand in Beijing, Yunlai Inn has its own background and can eat both black and white. How could he offend Mr. Cai for the sake of a prefecture and county resignation?

Somewhat unreasonable.

Unless Chen Sanlang has someone in the capital and has a big backer - but in that case, why should he still live in the inn? Go directly to the backer's mansion, the environment is much worse?

This is a bit strange...

Mr. Cai looked at Chen Sanlang and suddenly clasped his fists: "My surname is Cai, and I am so proud of my neighbors. I called 'Mr. Cai', how dare you ask about your name?"

This tone is quite marvelous and earthly.

Ye Outong heard his own report on the house, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Subconsciously, he reached out to pull Chen Sanlang's sleeve-

Ye Outong has been in Chang'an for a long time and lives in Yunlai Inn. In her spare time, she wanders on the streets and sees the customs and customs. She has heard of Boss Cai's deeds, which are far from being as simple as bullies. In short, she is a person who cannot be easily messed with, and once she touches her, she will be covered in fishyness or even skinny.

To describe it in one word, "local snake".

The waters of such a huge capital are as deep as the sea, and the weight of this local snake is far beyond the reach of other places. If it is released, it may be at the level of a dragon in the place.

"It's hard, I've only been to the capital for a day, so why are you entangled with this local snake?"

Ye Outong complained in her heart.

As a candidate who came to take the imperial examination, he was not afraid of the other party's random actions. However, if he secretly used any means and caused some dirty tricks, it would be enough to eat a pot. If it seriously affects the imperial examination, he will return home in a desperate situation. Then he will not cry to death?

Inexplicably involved in this matter, Chen Sanlang glanced at the waiter.

The waiter felt relieved when he saw this, and quickly lowered his head. He and the shopkeeper had the same position, that it was not easy to be a good person when he was stuck in the middle, so he simply picked it apart and asked Mr. Cai to make an agreement with Chen Sanlang in person.

Chen Sanlang felt a bright heart in his heart, snorted coldly, bowed and bowed to his salute: "I have met Mr. Cai, the young student from Jing County, Yangzhou, with the surname Chen, and his courtesy name is 'Daoyuan'."

Mr. Cai smiled and said with a slight smile: "It turns out it's Chen Juzi. That's it. I ordered a jar of wine in the inn, but the shopkeeper said he sold it to you last night. Is there anything wrong?"

Chen Sanlang shook his head: "Nothing happens."

As soon as these words were said, several people changed their faces.

Then Chen Sanlang said leisurely: "I wanted to give money, but the shopkeeper refused to accept it. Since he didn't have to spend money, it was naturally impossible to say it was a business."

When Mr. Cai heard this, his expression changed again: Chen Sanlang said this clearly, and the implication was that he didn't want to buy the wine, but the shopkeeper insisted on giving it.

One sells and one gets, the meaning is different.

He stared at Manager Qian with an ugly face and said in a stern voice: "Old Qian, what's going on?"

Manager Qian coughed dryly: "Mr. Cai, I said it a long time ago, just a jar of wine, why bother with it?"

Mr. Cai took a long breath: "Okay, okay..."

As he said that, he turned around and left the inn with his entourage. When he got outside, a confidant subordinate said, "Mr. Cai, I think it's Old Man Qian who is making a fool of himself. We are worse than..."

"shut up."

Mr. Cai shouted in a low voice: "What do you know..."

He paused and sneered: "Hey, this old man Qian is not kind-hearted. He deliberately wanted me to find the troublemaker named Chen!"

The subordinate asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Borrow a knife and kill someone!"

Said one by one.

"Ah, did Old Man Qian deliberately ask us to get rid of Chen's surname? It's unreasonable..."

Mr. Cai was upset and slapped him in the face: "Idiot, it's Old Man Qian who borrowed someone's knife to kill us!"

"What?"

His subordinates were shocked without caring about the pain in their cheeks. He really couldn't figure out what was going on: Chen Sanlang was just a juren who came to take the exam from Yangzhou. His reputation as a juren is nothing in the capital. How can he threaten himself?

Mr. Cai is very thoughtful. How could he be a brainless person who can survive in a place like a mixed place like a dragon and snake in Beijing? He said slowly: "You go out and check it out to see where this Chen surname is from?"

"yes."

After the order was received, all the men agreed in unison.

In the inn, Ye Outong was still a little confused, but saw Chen Sanlang strode out of the inn, hurriedly followed, and whispered: "Daoyuan, what happened?"

Chen Sanlang spread his hands: "If I say I don't know, do you believe it or not?"

"Don't believe it."

Ye Outong shook her head like a rattle.

"Then you are asking what to do? Let's go, you're going to be late."

Ye Outong curled her lips and had to suppress her inner doubts. However, the look at Chen Sanlang's eyes were obviously a little different. If Chen Sanlang dared to speak in front of Yuan Wenchang at the Luming Banquet, his expression remained unchanged because of the literary character and the powerful and powerful. Then, it would be not that simple to encounter this strange thing on the first day of his arrival in the capital.

On the way, Chen Sanlang casually asked about the literary meeting and gradually understood it clearly.

In the spring exam next year, the references include qualified candidates from all prefectures and counties, as well as students from the Imperial College in Beijing.

So many testimonies gathered in the capital, and they were gathered together. They came early. It is impossible to say that they stayed in the inn every day to review their homework. They were inevitably called on friends and walked around, and gradually formed circles. When certain frictions and collisions occur between circles, there will be conflicts.

Scholars emphasize "a gentleman speaks but not acts". If they are not convinced, they will certainly not fight hard. Their fists and feet are of course different. Then they can only use poetry and articles to compete, and they are called "making friends through literature."

Such gatherings exist in Chang'an every imperial examination year and are quite popular. The gatherings are mainly based on prefectures, counties and places, with no limit on the titles of the articles, which are very free. For example, find an elegant place, and a group of literati students sit there, and those from Yangzhou sit together, and those from Mingzhou sit together.

When it started, everyone took turns to discuss the topic, and they were talking back and forth, and they were very intense.

Ye Outong is a talented man in Jiangnan. He is making his mark. His first time to attend the exam, he is bound to be excited. He is invited to attend the party, but of course he will not refuse. He agrees to make a name for himself at the party and become a talented man in the world.

However, when he came to the place, he was the only one from Yangzhou, and he was very lonely among the more than ten people. What's more serious is that the candidates from all major prefectures and counties all had a natural regional hostility towards Yangzhou, and were proud to defeat the talented men in Yangzhou. So, Ye Outong soon found sadly that he had become the target of public criticism and became a target...

The result can be imagined.

Ye Outong returned to Yunlai Inn with a pitiful heart that was hurt and pity. When she saw Chen Sanlang, she felt like she was seeing her relatives and encountering a rescuer.

“It’s not far ahead.”

At night, the street market was brightly lit and very bright. Chen Sanlang followed Ye Outong and turned two streets. After about half a quarter of an hour, he came outside a garden and saw the gate saying "Yu Shui Garden".

Seeing that the name was ambiguous and vague, I felt a little clear about it. When I walked in, there was a big red lantern hanging high inside, with beautiful flowers and colorful flowers, no doubt about it.

Isn't this Qing, Lou? (To be continued...)
