Chapter 219 Luming Banquet

After regaining his composure, Ling Yun then said again, "Oh, there are also such strange things, have you ever heard the reason for them?"

"this..."

Huang Qiusheng glanced at him, but hesitated to speak, his eyes flashed, and then disappeared.

Ling Yun thought carefully and realized that this guy wanted money, and with his arrogant face, it seemed that he didn't intend to continue talking if he didn't give it.

He thought to himself: A treacherous villain like Huang Qiusheng, who just said so righteously, but now he only wants money. If he follows his wishes, wouldn't he be even more proud?

In this case, Ling Yun did not live up to his wish.

Ling Yun took out another two taels of silver from his sleeves, played with them in his hands, and looked at them with a half-smile.

When everyone saw the two taels of silver in Ling Yun's hand, they didn't actually feel anything. However, when they thought about Huang Qiusheng's words just now, the two taels of silver became unusual.

In their hearts, this seemingly ordinary two taels of silver is no longer a simple two taels of silver. This is their shame.

They can't wait to take it back, carry it in their pockets, and take it out to take a look at it every day, so as to encourage themselves to study hard and repay the humiliation of that day.

This mere two taels of silver, just like when Gou Jian suffered hardships while sleeping on his salary, was a beacon that inspired them to forge ahead.

So when everyone saw the two taels of silver that Ling Yun took out, they stared at him like hungry wolves, wishing they could just pounce on him and snatch the two taels of silver from his hands.

Besides, Huang Qiusheng was just talking nonsense. He was not as righteous as he said. He originally just wanted to earn some money from Ling Yun so that he could go home.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said just now, other people now have thoughts about the two taels of silver.

Seeing their eager expressions and preparing for battle, I was secretly anxious, wondering how I could snatch these two taels of silver from them and Ling Yun.

Ling Yun said thoughtfully, "Just these two taels of silver!"

As soon as he moved his mouth, they were eager to give it a try. They couldn't help but want to reach out and stared directly at him.

I saw him lifting the silver into the air and saying with a faint smile, "Whoever speaks first and satisfies me, then the silver will belong to him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Changfu was the first to stand up and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

As soon as Li Changfu opened his mouth, a person next to him immediately interrupted and said, "Brother Li, I think Wang is more suitable for this matter."

How could Huang Qiusheng tolerate two taels of silver going into other people's pockets in front of him? If it really went into other people's pockets, this would be nothing more than a challenge to his ability, so he couldn't wait to say, "Brother Wang, what you said is wrong! These trivial matters are still Huang's

It’s better to come.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huang Qiusheng opened his mouth, he was met with refutation from everyone. They all said in unison, "Brother Huang is joking. Brother Huang has just withdrawn five taels. It's better not to fight for love with these two taels."

"I..."

Huang Qiusheng touched the five taels of silver in his pocket and choked for a moment.

This was two taels of silver, and he couldn't give it up. Adding the five taels to the two taels, he was one step closer to the cost of returning home.

It was just the words of everyone that made him feel cold.

...

But what Huang Qiusheng didn't know was that not only were his friends blocking him, but in Ling Yun's heart, he didn't even think about giving him the two taels of silver.

No matter who takes the five taels of silver, it will be OK, but Huang Qiusheng cannot.

Let him be upright and solemn, and not give you any shit.

Finally, after their explanation, Ling Yun found out that the diving scholar came from a poor family and had taken the provincial examination several times. This was the most confident one, but he still failed.

So much so that he got drunk in Yanxia Tower and jumped to the lake for life. When he was rescued, he was already out of breath.

This is not only a tragedy for the scholar, but also a tragedy for the family.

Hearing this, Ling Yun sighed. He had studied hard for decades, only to end up with this. It was really heartbreaking.

As a result, I became even more respectful of drinking, thinking that it would be better to drink in the future and not be greedy.

If something unexpected happens, the Ling family may not be able to bear it.

On the third day after the provincial examination results are released, there is a deer-crowing banquet.

The Deer Ming Banquet is held every three years and is hosted by the governor. During the banquet, the poem "Deer Ming" is sung and Kuixing dance is performed.

Since it was hosted by the governor, the venue for the banquet was naturally the governor's Yamen.

When the time came, as soon as Ling Yun left the inn, he found an official from the Yamen waiting at the door. He originally thought something had happened.

After questioning, he found out that these people were here to take him to the Luming Banquet. Ling Yun was shocked. He had never thought that such treatment would be given, and it really caught him off guard.

In the end, he had no choice but to let Yang Ergou retreat the carriage, but still told him to wait for him at the door when the banquet was almost over.

The horsemen and carriage drivers are all specially provided by the yamen for delivery.

After inquiring in detail, Ling Yun discovered that not every candidate received this kind of treatment. Only the top three candidates in the provincial examination had the yamen send someone to pick them up.

Compared with the scholar's banquet, the Luming Banquet is not only a higher level, but also purely in terms of status. Only when they become a scholar can they truly enter the scholar stage and be exempted from various taxes.

The people attending the Luming Banquet, in addition to the examiners of the Jinke Provincial Examination and the candidates on the list, there were also some officials unknown to Ling Yun gathered together.

The entire banquet was filled with laughter, laughter, and cheers. The governor was extremely kind to everyone and showed no pretense at all.

The position Ling Yun chose was always at the back, but what he didn't expect was that he saw two acquaintances.

One was Gao Shijing, and the other turned out to be the second fool in charge of the Anzhou Prefecture trial case.

Ling Yun was really shocked. If he could have accepted the encounter with Gao Shijing, it was just these two idiots that he never expected. It was really beyond his expectation.

Especially when I think of what he did in the examination room, it is incredible that he is sitting here today!

Regarding Gao Shijing, Ling Yun was surprised that he didn't treat her coldly this time. How strange it was!

Just looking at Gao Shijing and seeing his eyes dodge a little, Ling Yun thought it was him who was dazzled.

When he rubbed his eyes and wanted to confirm again, Gao Shijing's back was turned to him, making him unsure whether what he saw was true.

Gao Shijing unexpectedly did not confront him like he did at the academy examination students' banquet. Instead, he found a seat far away from him and sat down.

However, Gao Shijing despised him, and he also despised Gao Shijing. As the saying goes, people who are different do not seek to harm each other. If he did not cause trouble for himself, Ling Yun would not bother to cause trouble for him.

I just don’t know how he will feel when he knows that the culprit of the last kidnapping was Gao Shijing?

Even though Ling Yun is sitting in the last row, in the most inconspicuous place, his identity as Jieyuan means he is destined to be the protagonist tonight.
