It's just that I can't save my face, so I agreed to invite Li Kui and Li Yun to the best restaurant in the capital. Now that the best restaurant has been booked, Gao Qiu is also someone who wants to lose face!

His face was so pale that he couldn't get off the stage.

If he were in the wilderness, Li Kui wouldn't care about the identity of the prince at all.

But in the capital, there are 100,000 forbidden troops stationed in the city. If they really collide with the prince, I'm afraid it will be really troublesome.

Li Kui angrily said to Gao Qiu, "Brother, you can just go to another house, but you have to go to Fengle House to drink."

"But this one is the best." Gao Qiu hesitated. He just didn't look good and lost face. He didn't have the courage to challenge the palace.

But Li Kui was a little curious. Which family Prince Yongyang was the prince of, and he seemed to be very familiar with it.

He asked casually: "Brother, is this Yongyang County Prince a relative of the emperor?"

"The emperor's relative is a foreign relative."

Gao Qiu's dismissive look seemed to despise the prince of Yongyang County. Of course, you don't need a big reason to hate someone.

"Can a relative be crowned a king?" Li Kui was surprised. Doesn't this mean that the Liu family also has the possibility of being crowned a king?

Gao Qiu explained: "The princes in the capital are all relatives of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, but there are only a few that are a bit special. The Cao family was named king and was a meritorious official, that is because the younger sister became the queen. Now we are talking about Yong.

Prince Yang is the elder brother of the current Queen Mother, and he also has a younger brother, who is named Prince of Yongjia. The Xiang family is quite domineering, with two kings in one family. Those who don’t know may think...it’s thanks to the fact that they have a prime minister.

Grandpa, it’s not your own ability?”

"Brother Gao, be careful what you say."

Gao Qiu was angry and spoke a little uncontrollably. But then he started to elaborate again: "Since Fengle Building is not an option, then the Ban Building outside the Song Gate is also a first-class place." When talking about this, Gao Qiu seemed to

Recalling a memory that he recalled for a long time, he slowly said: "Speaking of which, I haven't been to this Fenglelou brother. But Banlou, I met a generous noble man at the Cuju Club a few days ago, so I went with him.

I’m so confused. I have to say that although Banlou is not as famous as Fengle Tower, the singers there are also first-rate and stunning.”

Now that Gao Qiu is a scholar, why did he join the Cuju club again?

Li Kui was very puzzled. But he didn't want to change places, so he pulled Gao Qiu and said, "Brother Gao, don't bother. I think we can choose a restaurant near here that faces the street, which is also close to home. Now that my younger brother and Li Yunchu have arrived,

I’m not very familiar with the capital yet, so if I’m late, I’ll inevitably get into trouble.”

"That's right." Li Yun nodded in agreement. He didn't even think about crossing half the city to go to a class building, mainly because it was too far.

Walking into a nearby tavern, Li Kui took the lead and entered the store. After all, it was an inner city, and the tavern was not as simple as an ordinary tavern. In addition to the singer who had to go out to call for help, the lobby was bright, the seats were spacious, and it was also a place for drinking.

Great place for parties.

Upstairs, private seating.

Gao Qiu picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Then he poured another ten thousand wine and drank it down.

After three bowls, the wine got stronger and Gao Qiu's nose and cheeks turned red. But the most puzzling thing was that his eye circles also turned red, and he suddenly burst into tears: "Brother Xian, I am burdened by my brother."

I'm sorry for you. I... am ashamed of being a bachelor!"

After saying that, he wanted to drink again. He was stopped by Li Kui, who asked curiously: "Brother Gao, what are you doing to cause trouble?" Li Kui was puzzled. It seemed that it was normal for Gao Qiu not to be treated well by Su Zhe.

It seemed that Su Che had never seen Gao Qiu from beginning to end.

But Gao Qiu felt miserable! He was passed up by the literary test when he was in Kaifeng Prefecture, and he just took part in the martial arts test. But the news seemed to have grown wings. The news was flying all over the capital, and it reached Su Che.

In the ears. Previously, Gao Qiu was not favored by Su Zhe, but he could still gain access to the Su family's door.

But now, I can't even get through the door.

Of course, if Gao Qiu gives up his qualifications for the provincial examination, he should still be forgiven by Su Che. However, in the provincial examination in the spring of next year, those who have passed the martial arts examination can also participate. Although he has a slim chance of becoming a Jinshi, he still wants to try his luck.

This kind of good thing may only happen once in a lifetime. If he misses it, he will regret it in this life. He doesn't want this life to pass by mediocrely. Perhaps this idea angered Su Zhe.

Gao Qiu asked to see Su many times but was unable to do so. His name had already appeared on the Su Mansion's blacklist.

Of course, this does not mean that Gao Qiu must take part in the provincial examinations in the spring of next year. The main reason is that the imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty in recent years are the same every year, and there are always changes every year. This year's imperial examination does not test poetry, which makes many candidates somewhat out of reach.

Three years of preparing poems were all in vain.

This year's military examination students can take the literary examination, which is one of the few opportunities in the Song Dynasty. It only happened once or twice in a hundred years. The reason for this is that there are too few officials, and the court needs more new scholars as a reserve for officials.

.I am afraid that the civil service examination will break out in a few years, and there may even be an Enke exam next year. The reason is too easy, the new party has come to power, and a large number of officials from the old party will be purged.

Once the officials are purged, the country cannot help but no longer need them, right?

We can only increase the number of new scholars selected to fill the official gap in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. Everyone knows this and it is a clear fact.

In fact, Gao Qiu didn't want to see Su Che because he didn't care. He had never been treated well by Su Che!

What's more terrible is that Li Kui and Li Yun were implicated by Gao Qiu and were rejected outside the Su Mansion. This made the loyal Gao Qiu feel heavy in his heart.

When Li Kui heard that it turned out to be this kind of thing, he immediately laughed and said: "Brother Gao, is this the reason?"

"Just because of this." There were still tears on Gao Qiu's face. This was the closest opportunity he had to becoming a Jinshi. He didn't want to give up. But if he didn't give up, he would embarrass the bachelor.

Recently, Gao Qiu has been struggling with whether to give up the provincial examination.

Although there was only one chance, in his heart, there was only one Bachelor Su. Of course, Su Che was not included. There was only one bachelor Gao Qiu was sure about, Su Shi.

Li Kui pointed at Li Yun and smiled at Gao Qiu: "I thought Li Yun was the only one who took the martial arts test and took the literary test in this provincial examination. I didn't expect that Brother Gao also passed the examination through this method. Congratulations!"

"I'll lend you Brother Gao's wine and give me a toast."

Gao Qiu blinked his eyes and looked at Li Yun for a while, then he burst into laughter and said something that made Li Yun very uncomfortable: "I am not alone in my way!"

"Who has the same path as you?" Li Yun said angrily with a black line on his forehead: "If you meet me in the martial arts competition, you are just waiting to be beaten to the ground by me, right?"

Discovering that he was not the only 'scum' in the Su clan, the heavy burden in Gao Qiu's heart suddenly flew out of the sky. He deliberately joked with Li Yun: "Brother Yun, you can't be a heartless person!"

While he was talking, Gao Qiu pointed at Li Yun with the orchid finger he learned from the geisha in class. Li Yun could only stare angrily. Why didn't this guy let his great uncle decide the family law? Keep it.

Disaster.

However, Gao Qiu was a bit out-tempered, and he also felt that participating in martial arts might not be a wise move. He solemnly said: "Today...forget it today, starting from tomorrow, I must work hard for my brother and strive for the tribute.

You can’t ruin my Su family’s reputation.”

This seemed to sound impressive, but Li Yun suddenly turned around and pointed at Gao Qiu and said, "After you took the test, you haven't touched a book for a month?"
