Chapter 164 It’ll be okay

"Whose flower note is this?" The person who was shouting just now looked at Xue Lince in shock, as if he was about to rush forward to question.

"Brother Jingwen..." Liu Zishao looked helplessly at the people around him. Although he was upright and easy to control, he got excited so easily. He didn't want to make friends with this person again.

But the flower note in front of me is really amazing.

I am used to seeing flowers, birds, fish and insects, but seeing this beauty in front of me makes my heart itch.

"This is the new beauty flower note from Cuiyazhai. My in-laws have some business dealings with the Wang family, so I have some in my hands." The Tang family didn't get it through business dealings with the Wang family. They were all made by the Tang family's workshop.

Ah, but Xue Lince couldn't say it directly. He could only speculate that it was related, "I just got it a few days early. It will be released for sale in the next few years."

"So that's it..." The person just now was not from the capital. Naturally, he only learned about such elegant flower paper after entering the capital. I admired it very much, but now I saw that it had multi-color overprints that I had never seen before.

Beauty Flower Notes were naturally very happy. When they heard Xue Lince said that they would sell them later, they felt relieved.

Thinking of my gaffe just now, I felt a little embarrassed. Even though I wanted to get these flower notes now, I still felt ashamed to speak.

"This book is given to you all. You are good at poetry and prose, so naturally you should copy it on a flower paper like this." The left and right books were given as gifts. Naturally, Xue Lince didn't hesitate and took a box of flowers with a smile.

The note was given to several people.

It's hard to say that you don't want someone else's hand, so they can only thank Xue Lince angrily, but it's not easy to take it personally.

Liu Zishao, who was sitting at the front seat, looked at the flower note in his hand and slightly curled his lips.

This Xue Juren is a promising talent, but he doesn't know how to learn...

Xue Lince listened to their poems and songs and felt that he had gained a bit of literary talent.

"I heard that there is a talented man from Wu County in Jinke. He is the head of three primary and secondary cases, and his poetry and prose are excellent." Liu Zishao suddenly raised his voice a little, "I wonder if this talented man is here today."

Xue Lince was stunned when he heard what he said. Although there were geniuses like Huang Guan in history who won six yuan in a row, there were also many people who won three yuan in a row.

But if the first case was put in his time, he would have been the number one in the province.

While he was feeling emotional, Xue Lince saw the timid young man sitting opposite him stand up, and his voice was not very loud: "Brother Liu is so complimentary..."

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be the head of the case in Wu County, and Xue Lince couldn't help but look at him twice.

Although he was also a top student when he was in school, he still had great respect for the provincial champion, and he couldn't help but look at that person with a little more admiration.

"I, I am Shen Zizheng from Wu County." The young man's voice became weaker and weaker, and his face turned red from suppressing his emotions. Finally, he bowed to everyone and sat down.

It was only after the young man stood up that everyone discovered that his robe for the imperial examination was actually patched.

Although some scholars from poor families live a miserable life, they definitely don't know how to wear patchwork clothes, not to mention that the imperial court distributes rice every month and provides subsidies every year.

Even if it is really difficult for him, the local government will give him a certain subsidy when he passes the exam.

It's not like I can't even afford a new robe.

As if aware of everyone's gaze, Shen Zizheng's face turned even redder.

The man who just mocked Xue Lince was like a rooster, always sarcastic when he saw someone.

When he saw Shen Zizheng wearing a patch on his body, he naturally didn't let it go: "Zi Zheng, the wise brother, is acting like this, I'm afraid it's an insult to his gentleness!"

"Is this dear friend a little too much?" Xue Lince saw that after he finished speaking, Shen Zizheng's eyes were red. He was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, and it felt really distressing to see him.

"What does this have to do with you!" The man took Xue Lince's beauty note, and when facing him now, he was a little out of breath, "The imperial court supports us and other candidates, but Shen Zizheng took the imperial court's money, but he still wants more Isn’t it insulting to be polite to wear patchwork clothes in a pretentious manner?”

After he finished speaking, he looked around, as if he was seeking confirmation from everyone.

"Do you know what's going on at home?" Xue Lince saw him and remembered the domineering rich second generation when he was in school. "I don't know the whole story and won't comment. If you criticize Shen Zizheng like this, is it possible that you are jealous that he is the leader of the crime? "

"I'm jealous of him? You're so funny." The man slammed the table, "I'd be jealous of him as a poor guy!"

"Brother Liu, be careful what you say." Only then did Liu Zishao stop him, "The people here today are all my guests. We are all people who have read poetry and books. There is no need to get into quarrels over trivial matters."

Xue Lince finally understood that the person surnamed Liu was just a mouthpiece for Liu Zishao. It must have been Prime Minister Liu's grandson who was afraid of the head of the case in Wu County, so he was the first to reveal his identity.

The man surnamed Liu is just a mallet in the hands of others, and he is still complacent about being used.

If not, why didn't Liu Zishao speak before?

You just waited until he spoke before speaking to stop him?

"It's all my fault," Shen Zizheng stood up and said shyly, "I won't offend you brothers here."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Wait a minute." Seeing that he was about to leave, Xue Lince also stood up and smiled lightly at the candidates around him, "Xue is not talented, so he left first."

Then he looked at Shen Zizheng: "Let's go together."

Liu Zhuo watched them leave and curled his lips: "One of them has no literary talent at all, and the other one is degrading to elegance. They left, so as not to disturb our interest!"

"Brother Liu..." Liu Zishao pretended to be helpless and shook his head, "Why bother."

"Zishao, you have a good temper, but I can't bear it!" Liu Zhuo looked at Liu Zishao with an angry look, "You'd better let me check it out, why is it that Xue Lince, who has no talent or knowledge, can still do this? He was able to pass the exam. His in-laws have money, so they must have spent money to buy it!"

"Be careful!" Liu Zishao glared at Liu Zhuo, "How can this be nonsense!"

Liu Zhuo was a little resentful, but he also had some doubts in his heart. For these literati and elegant guests, poetry was just a word game.

Who can only write articles but not poems?

"Thank you..." When these people were out of sight, Shen Zizheng said in a low voice as if he was relieved, "Thank you for speaking to me just now."

"It's okay." Xue Lince smiled lightly, "I can't stand their behavior either, so don't mind it too much."

Shen Zizheng nodded.

"My carriage is over there, where do you live? Shall I take you back?" Xue Lince looked at him and couldn't help but lower his voice when speaking.

Shen Zizheng shook his head: "No need to bother brother, I can go back by myself."
