Chapter 609 Before the Zhuangyuan Building (two in one)(1/2)

Two days later, it was the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. Erhu was surprised to see the scalper who came back from the holiday.

"Old Huang, why do you look so haggard? Did you go on vacation or go to the construction site to move stones?

I thought you and your younger brother would have a small separation better than a newlywed. If you come back for a vacation, you will be energetic for two days, I will almost no longer recognize you."

The scalper moved the corners of his mouth, gave him a very reluctant smile, and said with a hoarse voice: "Haha, nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Tired???

Erhu's eyes turned, as if he had thought of something, he leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "No, I haven't been home for only a few days, and my brother and sister are so cruel to do it? Is it like this?

To be honest, tell me, is it because you are not good enough? If so, go find the shopkeeper's medicine. This kind of thing cannot be delayed, otherwise the couple will be in a bad relationship..."

In an instant, the fire of the two tigers and the Eight Trigrams was burning, and a series of concerns were asked about the concern, which almost made the scalpers unable to get into the conversation.

After a long time, I finally replied embarrassedly: "Second brother, you are thinking too much..."

Thinking too much? Have you been too much?

Erhu looked at the scalper with a strange expression, and couldn't stop his discussion. It was right, such things were hard to speak of. I really wanted to be so straightforward.

"No, tell me, I must not disperse with you in this relationship. I really care about you..." Erhu chased the scalper.

The scalper waved his hands repeatedly, "We are still busy, I really don't have time to joke with you. Second brother, please let me go."

...

At Yu Shinan's house in Chang'an City, the old man called two disciples Di Renjie and Xiao Xuanxuan.

"There are three days left to re-examination of the scientific examination. Now candidates from all over the country have basically come to Chang'an. It is better to brainstorm than to work behind closed doors. You can go outside to meet these talents from all over the world and increase your knowledge."

Xiao Xuanxuan's eyes lit up and said, "Is it a competition with them? Are you sure you gamble, Master?"

...Yu Shinan and Di Renjie both had three black lines hanging from their foreheads at the same time.

Di Renjie grabbed Xiao Xuanxuan: "Junior sister, you forgot that your master's wife taught her a lesson. Are you not allowed to bet with others?"

Xiao Xuanxuan quickly stood back and stuck out her tongue.

Yu Shinan said earnestly: "How can you, a girl, have such a strong desire to win at such a young age? You must know the principle that a gentleman is mean, but a tough one is easy to break."

Di Renjie smiled and explained for Xiao Xuanxuan: "Master, look at the junior sister, she doesn't care about the outcome, she is just playing around."

Yu Shinan waved and signaled Xiao Xuanxuan to stand beside her, touching her hair kindly and said, "The people who participated in the imperial examination with you are all talents from all over the world, and they will be talents who will shoulder the important task of governing the country with you in the future.

If you get to know and communicate with them, there will be many benefits.”

"Well, I know Master, I understand, you have to be humble!" Xiao Xuanxuan nodded in response.

"I know you have no bad intentions, but this time you can't fight too much. First of all, you won't be sad. Secondly, you haven't taken the exam yet. If you have performed too much, it will hurt other candidates' self-confidence, it's not what we want.

A temporary victory or defeat may give you a short-lived glory as if it were the stars, but maintaining humility can help you gain rare friendships.

Remember?"

The two little guys nodded together, and it seemed that they had heard it. Yu Shinan was relieved to let him go out to visit friends. This was like two saplings watered by himself. The more you looked at them, the more you felt satisfied.

After leaving the mansion, they looked at the crowded streets, and the two were worried. Xiao Xuanxuan asked, "Senior Brother, oh, no, brother, we seem to have forgotten to ask, where are the candidates who are taking the exam in other places? I didn't see them on the street.

Do we want to go to Dongshi to find it?"

Di Renjie gave Xuanxuan speechlessly, "Brother, you are a greedy problem, right? What are you talking about Dongshi? When you go to Dongshi, you are all acquaintances. Are you not afraid of others recognizing it?

Let’s go and ask someone. So many candidates who come to Beijing must be very eye-catching.”

After inquiring, the two of them got a lot of information about candidates and the subject exam. It turned out that there were often scientific exams in recent years, not the first time. The place where candidates from other places gathered the most is the Zhuangyuan Building in Dongshi.

When Xiao Xuanxuan heard this, she was still Dongshi, and laughed loudly. Di Renjie was embarrassed. How could it be Dongshi?

It turns out that there is a reason. In the past, scholars were scarce. Those who could afford to study were basically not short of money, mostly rich families, so the Zhuangyuan Building in Dongshi took this business opportunity and made this money specifically.

Xiao Xuanxuan thought to herself that's wrong. I'm familiar with Dongcheng City, just like my backyard. I've never heard of any top scholar building.

After asking carefully, okay, it’s not elsewhere. It turns out that it was the Wuhua Building that was almost demolished by himself last time. As the scientific examination re-examination approached, they specially changed the plaque of the top scholar building and made a gimmick.

"Let's go, brother, the top scholar building, isn't this what is prepared for the top scholars like us?" Di Renjie urged.

Xiao Xuanxuan was delaying and didn't want to leave, so it was strange. Di Renjie was very suspicious, "You don't have confidence, are you? Then why did you look like I was invincible in front of your master just now?"

Xiao Xuanxuan said shyly: "No, I have many acquaintances in that place, so I'm afraid I'll be caught if I'm afraid I'll be recognized."

Di Renjie's eyes were about to fall off and he exclaimed: "No, that place is a singing and dancing restaurant. Are you watching singing and dancing there or drinking with a drink? No matter what, if you are caught by your master's wife...tsk tsk!"

Xiao Xuanxuan was so angry that she blushed and her face stomped on Di Renjie, "It's not what you thought, I haven't been there before.

Just last time, I took Xiao Miaomiao to beat that bad guy Cui to stand up for me. The place is Wuhualou, and I almost demolished their house, so, so...

Why don’t we go today?”

Di Renjie couldn't help laughing, "So that's the case. I guess I can't understand your description if I change it.

Don’t be afraid, last time you were in women’s clothing, but this time you were wearing scholarly men’s clothing, looking like a slutty boy, no one can recognize him, so follow me to cover you.”

"Who do you think is the skinny boy?" Xiao Xuanxuan asked back dissatisfied.

"Uh, I'm talking about the gentle little scholar. Brother, you heard it wrong." Di Renjie quickly changed his words.

The two of them were joking and soon arrived in Dongshi. When they passed those delicious snack streets along the way, Xiao Xuanxuan never heard the rumbling sound in her stomach and almost drooled.

There was no choice but to act as a competent cover and buy snacks from time to time.

Those kind-hearted vendor owners reminded: "Young master, you see that you have a big arms to eat, but you dare not be greedy for tooth. If you eat badly or have tooth decay, it will be bad. Eat less. If you eat too much, you will easily become a fat man."

Di Renjie's face turned red and he rarely ate snacks. Is this a way to block the gun for others?

He could only bite the bullet and answer, "It's not me who eats it alone, but my little brother is greedy..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a cold murderous aura behind his neck. Di Renjie quickly changed his words: "Isn't this love for my brother, I have to spoil him."

The vendor owner smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the young master is not old, but he is a competent brother. It's so good. Remember to remind your brother."

Di Renjie held a lot of food and pulled Xiao Xuanxuan to the crowd and fled.

The vendors here looked at the two little guys covered in spiritual energy and started talking unconsciously.

"What a cute pair of kids. If my kid is so cute, I will definitely be spoiled by him every day." Someone envied.

Others mocked him and said, "Okay, Lao Wang next door, your family is a girl, and your son hasn't been born yet. What are you envious of?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The old Wang next door blushed and retorted: "You, you...

My wife is pregnant again, and this time she will definitely be a boy.

Besides, what about the girl? If she is the same as the little princess, I won’t change her baby. Look at her husband’s son-in-law, they all say that he loves his daughter hundreds of times more than his son.”

Several people were laughing and joking. At this time, one of them saw the two little girls who were walking away while eating and whispered: "Did you notice that the little child, who was eating while walking, seemed to be exactly the same as the little princess."

The person who said this must be an old acquaintance who has done business with Xiao Xuanxuan many times.

Really? Everyone looked at it with their necks tilted, but the distance was far away, and with the crowds of people, many people didn't see it clearly. Some people said they looked like it, some said they didn't look like it, and soon the argument started and it was very lively.

"Brother, the stall owner just said that you should not eat too much snacks, as they will damage your stomach, and..." Di Renjie looked at the young junior sister who kept talking and couldn't help but persuade her.

"Oh, I know, that's Uncle Song, Candied Haws, a good person who loves to talk nonsense.

Do not eat too much snacks. Eating too much will damage your stomach and cause tooth decay. The most important thing is to gain fatness..." Xiao Xuanxuan imitated the tone of that person as if she was a memorizing, and she did not forget to rub the last hawthorn fruit on the candied haws and bamboo sticks into her mouth.

Di Renjie was shocked, "No, how did you know? You didn't follow me just now... Oh, you won't eavesdrop with your internal force..."

Xiao Xuanxuan gave her senior brother a blank look: "No, this is all the same thing. He always kindly reminds all children to buy things. Do you think they are just taking care of you? You think Uncle Song is so stingy."

Di Renjie was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to take the lead.

Xiao Xuanxuan continued: "In fact, Uncle Song was just a buyer of hawthorn fruit. Later, Dad improved the sugar process and sugar became common. It was the method I told him to sell candied haws.

Including these words, I told him after studying medicine, and he wrote them down very carefully."

"Haha, I didn't expect that Master, you are quite caring, brother. No wonder you are so popular in Chang'an City." Di Renjie praised sincerely.

"That's it, I'm...ahem, it's not these days, and it's going to happen in a few days!

Brother, don’t talk to me and interrupt me, it will affect my delicious food." Xiao Xuanxuan said impatiently.

He glanced inadvertently and found that Di Renjie paid attention to the snacks many times. Xiao Xuanxuan laughed and said, "Brother, are you greedy when I see that I have eaten with relish?"

"No, no, how could that happen? I'm going to buy it for you, but I can't do these..." Di Renjie shook his head repeatedly.

"Drooling is flowing!" Xiao Xuanxuan joked.

Ah? Really? Where? I... are you lying to me? Di Renjie was caught and was a little busy.

Xiao Xuanxuan handed over a pack of delicious food with sincerity, "For it, since you are a brother, of course you can eat delicious food together, how can I eat it while you watch? I am the most loyal."

"Ahem, brother, what kind of decent thing is this? It's almost here to communicate with people. Is it a shame for those who eat and drink so much? It's too rude." Di Renjie took the snack and said weakly.

"No, as long as we eat quickly, will it be fine after we finish eating before we get there?" Xiao Xuanxuan said calmly.

"Ah?" Di Renjie became sad in an instant, "I heard it right. There are so many snacks, I guess I will have no time for a quarter of an hour. Can I finish eating?"

"Of course, I can do it alone. If you don't believe me, I'll eat it for you!" Xiao Xuanxuan confidently came to grab things.

Di Renjie quickly stopped and said, "I believe you once!
