Chapter 1175 Entrance Banquet
"I didn't say it was a promotion banquet. I just said that the Master of Academic Affairs wanted to congratulate all the scholars and have fun with the people." Zhu San's expression was hard to explain, and he also felt that the behavior of the Master of Academic Affairs was a bit difficult to understand.
Even if you are eager to expand your network and want to win over a few people in advance, there is no need to rush at this time, right?
Scholars are not yet able to serve as officials, so even if they want to take action, they should wait until the Luming Banquet after the provincial examination. That is when the real action should be taken.
At this time, Zhu San did not think about himself, so he had absolutely no idea that he had actually wronged Li Xuanying, the local political scholar.
The reason why people hold this banquet is that they are afraid that if they meet Zhu San in private, some people will misunderstand. It is better to summon them together, and then find an opportunity to chat with Zhu San alone, and then...
Local academic administrator Li Xuanying can determine whether his "gamble" was right or wrong.
Soon, it was time for the scholar’s banquet.
Because it is not a serious official banquet, the Yamen has not prepared any clothes for the banquet. Please just inform everyone to wear your own clothes.
Zhu San did not need to worry about these things. Xu Yujin was very experienced. As soon as he learned that there was such a banquet, he asked the people below to arrange it.
Xu Yujin did not arrange any particularly high-profile clothes for Zhu San, but ordinary indigo blue, embroidered with auspicious clouds and bamboos, and paired with a wide belt outlined with gold and silver thread. She has a slender figure and is quite like a jade tree in the wind.
In addition, during this period of study, Zhu San rarely went out to bask in the sun, and his skin became much whiter, making him look like a humble gentleman.
"Does it look good?"
Zhu San lowered his head, looked at her and smiled.
Xu Yujin was a little embarrassed by his smile, and quickly helped him adjust his belt, then stepped away from him, urging him to go out and not be late.
"Your husband is so handsome, aren't you afraid that I will be seduced by a girl outside?" Before going out, Zhu San even complained deliberately.
Xu Yujin glared at him: "How dare you! If you dare to act recklessly outside, I will tell my mother and let her deal with you."
"Alas... I'm so pitiful, even my mother was bribed by you." Zhu San looked miserable and walked out the door.
Xu Yujin was funny and angry, and there was nothing she could do against this shameless man.
When they first got married, she thought he was a gentleman who behaved like a gentleman and was very polite in front of her. Unexpectedly, after they got married, some of his true nature was revealed.
What kind of gentleman is that? He is the one who "deceives" outsiders. He is a master who will not give up until he achieves his goal and will use any means.

When they arrived, Zhu San also met a few acquaintances. One was Pan Limin, the person sitting opposite him during the exam. He secretly cursed Zhu San for not being a human being, and that others could only feed him during the exam. Zhu San was so good that he actually had meat to eat.
During the release, the two met again, and Pan Limin took the initiative to make friends with him, and they got to know each other.
One is named Yu Shi, a friend whom Zhu San met in Pushou City when he was accompanying Zhu Qi.
As soon as Zhu San arrived at the banquet, Yu Shi spotted him and quickly called him over and introduced several people to him. They were either his classmates or his friends who had heard of Zhu San for a long time and wanted to meet him for a long time.
Pan Limin was an acquaintance. When he saw that Zhu San knew so many people, he gathered around him without saying a word and introduced himself. He also complained that Zhu San was not a human being. When he was in the examination room, he was almost ignored by Zhu San.
Deadly trap.
"You don't know, when I called for steamed buns and pickles, the smell of meat came from the opposite side of me, and I almost burst into tears on the spot..." Pan Limin's words made anyone who heard it sad, and everyone who saw it was heartbroken.
She burst into tears and confessed that she had been "abused" severely by Zhu San for several days.
So when they met during the discharge, Pan Shuimin swore that he must get the thing Zhu San ate to taste what it tasted like. It was so greedy.
Yu Shi laughed and asked, "Then have you tasted it?"
"If I hadn't tasted it, do you think I would let him go?" When Pan Limin said this, he also glared at Zhu San.
Zhu San looked innocent, touched his nose, and said: "I didn't mean it, and I didn't expect that you all ate whatever you wanted during the exam. Unlike me, I have a very capable younger brother at home. In order for me to be able to
I took great pains to eat well during the exam. I didn’t know how many nights I stayed up before I finally came up with something like this..."
It is absolutely impossible for Zhu Si to stay up late for non-essential events. He is just lazy. Except for eating, which is attractive to him, he will be lazy whenever he can, so that he will not torment himself so hard.
It's just that in order to experience his brother's love for him, Zhu San specifically used the word "endurance" to show his hard work.
"It seems like no one has a younger brother. Yes, I have one too, okay?" Pan Limin rolled his eyes.
Yu Shi laughed beside him: "I have one too, but we can't compare with Brother Zhu. Brother Zhu has several younger brothers in his family. I don't know about the other younger brothers, but I know that one of his younger brothers is also a scholar, and he ranked first in the county examination.
An honorable scholar, now studying in Pushou Prefecture..."
"Isn't it?! Brother Zhu, your family is so powerful and you are so young. Two of your family are scholars?!" Pan Lishi was surprised and looked at Zhu San seriously. "Your brother passed the exam even though he was younger than you.
If you are a scholar, isn't your younger brother better than you? Do you have any secrets about studying in your family? Come on and pass it on to me. My younger brother is giving me a lot of headaches. He has been doing it since he was a child. At first glance, he is not studying.
If I can train him to be a scholar, I will thank you forever."
The corner of Zhu San's mouth twitched, and he always felt that Pan Lishi's last sentence was a curse: "Thank you, no need, my seventh brother is born with a good memory, photographic memory, I did not train him, nor is there any secret to reading in our family, he is
He is so talented that even I can’t compare with him.”
"Oh! What did you just say? Your brother has a photographic memory? Is it true?!"
"Really!" Zhu San nodded with a heavy face, "When it comes to endorsements, no one in our family can compare with him. That's why he got the first place in the county exam because he memorized all the books that were required to be tested in the county exam.
Come down."
Everyone was shocked: "..."
Is this still a human being?!
I’m afraid this is not God!
Pan Limin swallowed and said, "Don't you miss a word?"
"Yeah!" Zhu San's expression remained the same.
Everyone: "..."
Well, this kind of ability is indeed "gifted", and it is indeed not something that ordinary people can compare with.
Pan Limin put his arms around Zhu San's shoulders and said sympathetically: "I and other ordinary people cannot compare with geniuses. Don't be too inferior. Anyway, you are much better than ordinary people. Most people are not even scholars."
"Thank you for your comfort!" Zhu San didn't expect Pan Limin to be so easy to fool. Does he really look like someone who needs comfort?
Oh, by the way, as I said before, when Zhu San arrived at the scene, he met several acquaintances. One of them he forgot to mention was the poor scholar Yan Gaomin who Zhu San met during the government examination and wanted to have a relationship with him.
