Chapter 389

On September 15, all the candidates will attend a banquet hosted by the government. This banquet, also known as the Lu Ming banquet, is hosted by the Lingnan magistrate.

It's said that at the banquet, there will be singing songs of deer and dancing Kuixing.

Song Xintong inquired about it and realized that it was the practice of local officials in order to go to the examination, and it was also a disguised solicitation. He is already half an official. He was appointed by the imperial court as soon as he passed the examination. In the future, if one of these people is well-developed, he will be able to speak.

On this day, Lu Yunkai went to the banquet place with his well-dressed wife and Nuan Nuan. As soon as they went in, everyone looked at them.

Many of the candidates are young talents, and many of them are more beautiful than Lu Yunkai. The reason for this is that Lu Yunkai is not only the Jieyuan of the local examination, but also the scar on his face.

There are a lot of tables and chairs on both sides of the hall. There are servants and servants passing through the hall, serving tea, pouring water and delivering snacks.

Lu Yunkai is Jieyuan, close to the main table.

Because the time has not yet arrived, a group of Lingnan officials have not yet arrived, so everyone is chatting.

Song Xintong looked at other Juren, including young people and old Juren in their 40s and 50s. The older ones had already married, while the young Juren became the candidate of the big families in Lingnan to choose their son-in-law.

Sitting next to him is Yayuan, a young man in his twenties and twenties. He had known Lu Yunkai's name for a long time. If he had not been in the front, Jieyuan would have been him. This time, when he saw the scar on his face, he looked at the scar on his face. How could anyone with disdain in his heart and blemishes participate in the scientific examination?

At the moment, his dissatisfaction was revealed and he asked impolitely, "Lu Jieyuan, I've heard a lot about you."

Lu Yunkai took a look at him.

"How did Lu Jieyuan get the scar on his face? I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to make such a long flaw? " Yayuan asked sarcastically.

If you spend money, you will have money at home.

Most of them are businessmen who have money. They are scholars, peasants, businessmen and businessmen. They are the last ones in business. Yayuan disdains them very much.

Song Xintong frowned at Yayuan. He thought he was a talented young man before, but now he is not so good!

This Yayuan is not a student of his college, but a student of another college. Originally Lu Yunkai had the heart of chatting, but now he has no heart at all. With a light look, he said, "Ma Yayuan, how good is the wine in chunfenglou?"

Chunfenglou is a famous restaurant in Lingnan.

Since ancient times, romantic scholars have been proud to go to such places and get a confidant, but if they have a relationship with the swineherd, it's not good-looking.

Ma Yayuan a Leng, immediately flustered God, he went to have a blue confidant's matter, no one knows, how does he know?

Lu Yunkai looked at Ma Yayuan's face slightly changed. He took a sip of tea from his cup and said nothing more. He also occasionally saw him come out from the inside when he passed by the outside. At that time, he was drunk and hit him, so he remembered deeply.

Ma Yayuan's face changed slightly, and he wanted to say something. Someone outside called out a report: "the magistrate is here."

All the people in the hall got up and bowed to the magistrate.

"Yes, my Lord."

The magistrate was dressed in an official robe. He was quite powerful. He should have just come from the Yamen. After walking to the top, he stretched out his hand to everyone: "you are free to sit down."

"Thank you, my Lord."

Everyone sat down one after another, and Lu Yunkai also took song Xintong to sit down.

Nuan Nuan is still "adults praise falsely, students just write a little opinion, there are many shortcomings, when adults can not praise." Lu Yunkai said respectfully.

He is willing to make friends with the magistrate. Not to say that the magistrate is a good official, it depends on the mutual help between him and the Jiang family. He is not the kind of person who does not know the good or the bad.

The magistrate drank the wine with a smile, "not bad! It's something that can be made. Don't forget the Lingnan people in the future. "

"The students will not."

After an official talk, the rest of the family also came to propose a toast. Lu Yunkai took the opportunity to leave. Seeing that his wife and daughter were full, he found a gap to leave.

The carriage wandered back to the alley where the house was. When it arrived at the entrance of the alley, it found that there was a carriage in the alley, which blocked the lane tightly.

Song Xintong opened the window of the curtain and looked at it. After waiting for a moment, he saw that the carriage had not moved. He frowned unhappily. After talking to Lu Yun, he got out of the carriage and went to the front carriage.

Walking to the front, I saw a middle-aged man standing at the gate of their yard talking to sister-in-law Zhou. Sister-in-law Zhou was impatient and didn't want to talk to the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man was pestering and didn't want to leave.

The sharp eyed sister-in-law Zhou saw the figure of song Xintong, "madam, you are back."

The middle-aged man also heard the sound and looked at her.

Song Xintong looked at the middle-aged man. He met him on the boat in July. How did he find him? Is it really haunting?

At the moment, he didn't have a good face and asked, "what's the matter with you, sir? How did you find my address?"

When questioned, the middle-aged man was not angry. Instead, he stepped forward more and more intimately, with excitement in his eyes. "I finally found you."

Song Xintong frowned, "Sir, with respect, we don't know each other. Please respect yourself."

"What's the matter?" Lu Yunkai came over with wennuan in his arms, blocking song Xintong's body. He didn't let the middle-aged man's sight fall on her. He looked at the middle-aged man with a slightly heavy face.

The middle-aged man saw song Xintong and they were all on guard against her. He also knew that he was too excited and said, "your mother's name is he Xiu?"
