No matter which world it is in, people live with a face, and trees live with a skin. Face is far more valuable than life to those with status.
"A slap in the face, this is a naked slap in the face, and it is a slap in the face of the Wang and Xie clans.
The Wang and Xie clans have existed since before the founding of the People's Republic of China. As for when they existed, it is currently impossible to verify. In short, the history of the Wang and Xie clans is much longer than the current Zhou Dynasty.
The competition that caused a sensation in Beijing became a child's play, and for a while Chen Jiu and Xie Yun became the most influential figures.
After the Baihualou incident, both Chen Jiu and Xie Yun lost their voice. The turbulent Shangjing returned to calm. The day of the Shangjing exam was approaching. Both the proud students and the ordinary students were reviewing their homework seriously at home.
What is the big exam? , Thousands of troops and horses cross the single-plank bridge, especially these thousands of troops and horses are the best of the best.
The days passed little by little, and the turmoil in Beijing slowly calmed down under the control of thoughtful people. There are still three days left in the Double Ninth Festival.
Chao Xiaoyu is sitting in the bamboo building. Opposite him, Chen Jiu is writing quietly, his pen is moving quickly, and Haoran's righteousness is slowly gathering.
"There are three days left for the exam, are you ready?"
Chen Jiu nodded: "Everything is ready, just wait for the real big test to come."
Chao Xiaoyu was dressed in women's clothing at this time, with bright eyes and white teeth, looking very fresh: "It's a pity that I can't take the big exam."
The rules in Chao Xiaoyu's family are very strict, and they don't dare to act recklessly without the family's permission.
Chen Jiu has always scorned the family rules mentioned by Chao Xiaoyu. This world has never heard of a strong person who truly grew up through his family. The pursuit of immortality among practitioners has become a taboo. How can we accept this worldly agreement?
"Well, of course I know what you are thinking. It's a pity that you are not a member of a big family, otherwise you would definitely know what strict family rules mean." Chao Xiaoyu didn't take it seriously at Chen Jiu's sneer.
"Mr. Mingyang, did you have any advice?"
"This is not a child's play, the teacher is a true Confucian saint, how could he do such a thing?" Chen Jiu put down the pen and ink in his hand.
It was calm and cloudless in Beijing today. The Double Ninth Festival is the time when thousands of scholars decide their destiny.
Chen Jiu got up early as the scorching sun in the sky shed its brilliance on the people. Put your clothes in order. He burned incense quietly to purify himself, dressed in purple clothes, and his long black hair was covered behind his head.
In the Zhou Dynasty, underage men were not allowed to have their hair crowned, and could only tie their hair lazily back.
There were three people standing outside the door. It was those three strangers. When they saw Chen Jiu coming out, they all saluted: "I've met the proprietor."
Chen Jiu waved his hand: "You will stay in the courtyard for the next few days. The entire mansion has been restricted by my formation. Don't cause trouble by mistake."
The three of them nodded: "Yes."
Chen Jiu nodded and walked out.
Get on the carriage. Walk towards Taixue.
Taixue is the highest academic institution in the entire dynasty, and it is also the most elite place for scholars in the entire dynasty. Countless great scholars sit here, and even Yasheng often appears.
Although Chen Jiu had gotten up early, the place was already full of people when he arrived, and countless carriages were parked casually.
The scholars sat together in twos and threes, whispering and discussing about the exam.
Although Chen Jiu¡¯s reputation has spread all over the world, not many people have actually seen him.
Seeing that Chen Jiu was dressed luxuriously and with extraordinary aura, the scholars around him did not dare to come up and talk to him casually.
I found a place and stood there with my eyes closed, feeling the looming energy around me. I knew in my heart that of course this was a secret agent in the imperial city, responsible for secretly maintaining order and playing a supervisory role.
"Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to be here. I call you brother easy to find."
A hearty voice sounded behind Chen Jiu. Chen Jiu turned around and was stunned. Jiang Qianqiu, wearing a light yellow shirt, was standing not far away from Chen Jiu, waving to him.
He smiled, stepped lightly, and passed through countless crowds: "When did Brother Jiang come here to Beijing, and he didn't even say hello to me?"
Jiang Qianqiu was noncommittal: "Brother Chen is a well-known person in Beijing, and he is the target of public criticism. I don't dare to come to you rashly. If the time comes, I will be targeted by those guys. This is not what a smart person would do."
"Oh, I can't help it. When I first came to Beijing, some people looked down on me. I was acting in self-defense."
Jiang Qianqiu would not believe that Chen Jiu was so harmless.
"Brother Chen caused such a big disturbance this time. How sure are you about the exam?"
Looking at more and more scholars gathering together, Chen Jiu shook his head: "This is a big test, no one is sure,"Not even the eldest son of the Wang Xie clan can do it."
As he was talking, several familiar faces appeared in Chen Jiu's eyes: "Liu An, He Zhongguo, Hentian Shu, Wu Qi, and those are Wang Jinlun and Xie Yun, how do they get together?"
Jiang Qianqiu's eyes flickered slightly: "It's true that people of the same kind flock together and things divide into groups."
Feeling the gazes of Chen Jiu and Jiang Qianqiu, Liu An followed their gazes. When he saw Chen Jiu beside Jiang Qianqiu, an inexplicable smile appeared on his lips, he said something to these people and walked towards them first.
"Chen Jiu, I didn't expect to meet you here." Liu An's voice was slightly soft, and it was impossible to tell that there had been any bad blood between the two.
Chen Jiu nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect you to come too."
He Zhongguo also walked over to Hentian Shu. After Wu Qi pointed at Chen Jiu and said something to Wang Jinlun and Xie Yun, the three of them came over with curiosity, and Xie Yun's face turned a little blue.
Before Liu An could answer, Xie Yun's eyes shot out a ray of light and he stared at Chen Jiu: "You are Chen Jiu."
"good".
"Do you know who I am?" Xie Yun said with a gloomy face.
A hint of a mocking smile appeared at the corner of Chen Jiu's mouth: "Who you are is important. There are countless people in the Zhou Dynasty. If I knew everyone, wouldn't I be exhausted?"
Xie Yun's face froze, and then he nodded, showing an ugly smile: "Yes, yes, it is indeed arrogant, which is a bit interesting, but this is Shangjing, at the feet of the emperor, there are countless geniuses, not just a small place like Yuzhou City , it¡¯s better to remain humble.¡±
Wang Jinlun and Xie Yun are always the center of the crowd. As the two move over, everyone's eyes are paying attention to this place intentionally or unintentionally.
After hearing the conversation between Chen Jiu and Xie Yun, everyone showed a look of surprise: "It turns out that guy wearing a purple robe and looking like a half-grown baby is the legendary Chen Jiu. He is really arrogant, even in front of Xie Yun Wang Jinlun. Still not giving any face at all."
Chen Jiu shook his head. Instead of answering Xie Yun's words, Chen Jiu looked at Liu An: "Why, you didn't have confidence in this exam so you found a backer. It seems like you don't have a good backer."
Seeing that Chen Jiu ignored him, Xie Yun's expression changed, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes. He thought of Baihualou's laughing stock again, clenched his fists secretly, and took a deep breath.
Hearing this, Hentian Shu pointed at Chen Jiu and said: "You have no respect for your elders. You are really a barbarian. You have lost the face of my Yuzhou scholar. You didn't dare to go to the battle that time Mr. Xie asked you to fight. What qualifications do you have to criticize others, a coward?" .
After hearing what Hentian Shu said, Chen Jiu did not rush to argue. Instead, he looked around Hentian Shu and said, "Not bad."
"It's good that you know you were wrong. Why don't you apologize to Mr. Xie quickly?" Hearing Chen Jiu's answer, Hentian Shu almost thought he had heard wrong. He was slightly startled and then came immediately.
"I mean you have the potential to be a dog, very good." Chen Jiu said with a hint of ridicule and a serious face, making it impossible to find anything wrong with him.
"Shuzi, An Dare is so rude, it is an insult to the elegance of scholars." Hentian almost jumped up in a bookish tone.
The four great talents of Yuzhou Yingtian Academy are placed on this level, and they are clamoring to go to Beijing. Although a few of them have plans to rely on the power of the Wang and Xie clans, they are all nobles, and they can rely on each other's strength. How could it be that something that happened so often turned out to be a bastard when it came to Chen Jiu's mouth?
He Zhongguo touched his chin: "Chen Jiu, don't try to show off your words. Last time you were just lucky enough to attract Haoran Ziqi. Do you really think you can compete with me in terms of talent articles?" Children from rich families cannot compare."
Wang Jinlun¡¯s nostrils turned upward: ¡°You better go back to where you came from, mud-legged fellow, and don¡¯t embarrass yourself in Beijing.¡±
Chen Jiu looked at Wang Jinlun and shook his head: "Pretentious."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"You" Wang Jinlun pointed at Chen Jiuyi and was so angry that he couldn't speak. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
