Chapter 232 Su Shi, the chief examiner?
“There are circles everywhere…”
Zhao Xu looked at the four words "Jidi Tea House" and said with some emotion.
In the court, there were big circles formed by circles, and the same was true for these scholars who had not entered the officialdom.
This circle is everywhere, regardless of age or status.
Zhao Xu turned his head to look again, and saw Meng Tang's back flashing, feeling a little embarrassed.
Zhao Xu looked at the 'Jidi Teahouse' again, then smiled suddenly and said, "Go in and see what they all said."
Chenpi looked at the four tables and went up to whisper: "Official family, it's better to go back, it's probably not safe here."
Zhao Xu waved his hand and walked straight inside.
Before the guards could react, a 16 or 7-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth jumped out of the door, stopped Zhao Xu, looked at Zhao Xu seriously, and said with a smile: "This young man, is he going to participate in the spring exam this year? From where is the town, and the noble surname of the mansion?"
Zhao Xu was stunned and said, "The teahouse is just a teahouse. Do you still have to report to your own house? Can't others enter?"
The young man seemed to think that Zhao Xu was wearing a different temperament and said with a smile: "We are in the Jidi Teahouse, and we have some requirements for the identity of the guests. As long as the guests say it, they can enter."
Zhao Xu smiled. This young man is also a person with vision. He doesn't have a dog's eye to look down on others. He smiled and thought about it, and said nonsense: "I am from Fuzhou and Zhao's family. I'm here to participate in the spring exam this year."
"Fuzhou, Zhao family?"
The young man frowned, unable to remember the big family in Fuzhou's surname Zhao, and continued to smile and said, "Young master, do you know someone? Or do you have friends in the teahouse?"
Zhao Xu took the folding fan in front of him and said, "The Meng Tang was my little brother who was following me."
The young man was stunned, with suspicious eyes, and stared at Zhao Xu with conjecture.
Who is Meng Tang? His grandfather was once the confidant of the Empress Dowager, ranked among the third yamen capital, and his sister was even the queen. Who could let him hang out with him?
Moreover, Meng Tang had just been thrown out, and this person had not yet come forward.
The boy hesitated for a while and continued to smile and said, "Young Master, who can you know in the teahouse?"
Zhao Xu felt more and more interesting. This "Jidi Tea House" seemed very unusual.
"The dog's eyes look down on people!"
At this moment, a young man in his twenties and stout appearance came over and spat hard at the boy.
The young man was not angry at all. Four or five burly men rushed out of the door, all of whom were covered in flesh and were obviously a child.
The plainclothes guard behind Zhao Xu quickly appeared and stood beside Zhao Xu. Behind them, the weapons in their sleeves appeared faintly.
The young man in his twenties glanced at him, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes flashed and he became serious.
He stared at the boy and several thugs in Jidi Teahouse, snorted coldly, and said, "Kaifeng City is at the foot of the emperor, how dare you do this? I, Zhu Xie, will not leave today, see what you can do to me!"
As he said that, he turned to look at Zhao Xu and said, "Don't be afraid, this young master, if there is anything, Zhu will take care of you!"
The young man sneered and said, "You are aphrodisiacs, why are you a big man? If you believe it or not, I will throw it into the moat for you!"
The young man surnamed Zhu changed his face slightly, glanced at Zhao Xu again, stumbled on his neck, and sneered, saying, "I don't believe it!"
The young man had a strange look. Zhu Xie was just a savage drug on weekdays and was timid and afraid of things. Although he often appeared near the Jidi Teahouse, he was just trying to climb up someone or selling some medicine.
Never been so bold!
The young man looked at Zhao Xu again. The young man was always smiling, unable to see the depth at all. He even brought so many servants when he went out, which seemed very difficult.
The young man couldn't guess it thoroughly, suppressed his anger and said coldly to Zhu Xie: "These young men above are having a banquet today, so it's not advisable to see blood. You're lucky!"
After saying that, the young man changed his face again and said to Zhao Xu with a smile: "If this young master is not recommended, it will be difficult for you to go up."
Zhao Xu was very curious about this Jidi Teahouse and wanted to go in and sit in.
"Have you heard that? This year's spring exam, Mr. Su may be the chief examiner."
"Is it Mr. Dongpo? If it were him, it would be really good..."
"Yes, he has always been fair. If he is the chief examiner, he can abandon his opinion of the public..."
"What you mean by the door-to-door views is the party struggles in the court, right?"
"It's getting worse now. It is said that Mr. Zhang is obviously revenge..."
"Isn't that serious? Will it affect the spring examination?"
"Who can say it correctly..."
As the few people spoke, they looked up and saw Zhao Xu and others, but they didn't say anything, and continued to discuss while walking.
They are going to participate in this year's spring exam, so they are very concerned about the recent court.
Zhao Xu looked up and down a few times, but he really didn't know each other, but was attracted by their words. He turned to look at Chen Pi and said, "Political Affairs Hall, are you planning to let Mr. Su preside over this year's spring exam?"
The spring examination is usually held in mid-to-late February, and it is only one month away.
Chen Pi thought about it carefully, glanced at the people in front of her and whispered: "There should be no specific decision yet, and there is no memorial in the Political Affairs Hall."
Zhao Xu nodded. Although the Political Affairs Hall did not report the report, since there was a rumor, there should be some reasons.
Su Shi and Zhang Dun were once friends of the same travel, but they had academic and political differences, and then gradually went further and further away.
The young man heard Zhao Xu's question, and then looked at the few plainclothes guards behind Zhao Xu, his eyes flashed more and more, and he leaned closer and whispered: "Brother, what's the way? Do you need medicine?"
Zhao Xu looked at this Jidi Teahouse and was thinking. He listened to Zhu Jie's words and raised his eyebrows, looked at him, and said, "No, it's all night until dawn."
Zhu Xie smiled and whispered more and more: "Brother, we are all men, we are not false, I promise you are satisfied."
Zhao Xu was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he wanted to go to this teahouse to hear it and see what these young scholars think about the political situation in front of him and the "new law".
"Young Master, you can't go in." The young man was still blocking the road, smiling, but his tone was very firm. Even though he knew that Zhao Xu's identity might not be simple, he was not allowed to enter the teahouse casually.
Zhao Xu's expression moved. There is still a place where he can't go to in the Song Dynasty?
"presumptuous!"
Just then, a cold shout came.
Zhao Xu turned around and found that it was Cai Jing.
Cai Jing was wearing an official uniform and striding forward, expressionless, but his tone was very stern. He looked at the boy and said, "Go away."
The young man clearly knew Cai Jing, looked fearful and glanced at Zhao Xu again with a look of fear, and hurriedly said, "Shangshu Cai, the villain has offended him. This young master is rude, please come in."
Zhao Xu looked at Cai Jing and walked inside.
Cai Jing didn't do much, followed Zhao Xu as usual and entered this quite mysterious Jidi Teahouse.
Tangerine followed closely with the guards, keeping her vigilant.
