Chapter 0099: Leaning Tower

Nancang County City · Yufu

Yu Cheng'en took a jade slip and was taken aback, saying, "Ye Qing, Jie Yuan, Fan Er is third

In the dim light, Yu Cheng'en held onto the jade slips and looked at them silently for a moment before asking, "Have we contacted the troops sent out earlier yet

Sir, we haven't been in touch yet! "Mr. Dai changed his usual carefree attitude and stood up as soon as he asked." I've sent several messages, but haven't received a response

Get ready, if there's no news yet, go to Pingshou County immediately! "Yu Cheng'en said calmly," Take all the gentlemen with you

Mr. Dai didn't say anything and was about to leave. Yu Cheng'en took a breath and said, "Slow down, how is Fan'er's situation

Sir, everything is fine. Mr. Kou is following now, so there must be nothing wrong. This is a matter between father and son, and Mr. Dai cannot intervene.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Chengen felt a hint of coldness and remained silent for a long time before asking, "Where is the Hidden Pearl Pavilion

Mr. Dai glanced at Yu Cheng'en and said, "It is said that there are only three hundred taels of silver left in the museum. I met with the steward five days ago and he said that the money is too small. Can you increase it a little? However, the mansion refused

There are rumors in the museum that Lord Fan is going to depose Young Master Fan, causing panic among the people. Now that most of them have dispersed, only a few poor scholars are still persevering

The more Yu Cheng'en listened, the more serious his expression became. These rumors were heard occasionally, but someone said it was the first time they had heard them face to face. Thinking of Yu Fan's expression, he put down the teacup in his hand, nodded to Mr. Dai, and said, "We still need to handle the affairs of the Yizhu Pavilion. You go and tell me, and then pay three thousand taels

Mr. Dai promised to get up, but then a gentleman came in and said, "Sir, there's a military report coming from ahead

Yu Chengen frowned and scolded, "Don't be verbose, where's the jade certificate

The gentleman handed over a piece, and Yu Cheng'en looked at it without saying a word. He said to Mr. Dai, "Wait a moment, I'll see after I read it

Mr. Grey stood up and wanted to leave, so he heard the voice from above again: 'Let Yu Chong withdraw his troops!'

Master, why don't you -- "said the gray clothed gentleman.

I ordered the withdrawal, didn't you hear? "Yu Cheng'en said coldly, but immediately realized that he was speaking too harshly. He took a deep breath and softened his tone.

If only Yu Chong had captured Yejiazhuang before, "he said, giving the jade disc to Mr. Dai, who took it and read it carefully.

After a moment of sighing, he said, "My lord said that it would have been better if it had been early. Unfortunately, the Ye family seemed to have been on guard in advance and lost contact

The Xun Yan Pan has been repaired now, but it's too late. Although it can be captured with the cooperation of the sorcerer, this will reveal traces - which bandit has a sorcerer

Ye Qing has won the Jieyuan, which is a major cultural event in the state. The court will naturally value it. If this son dies now, even if it is not my family's fault, it will cause a lot of trouble

Even if we can destroy the entire sect to destroy its foundation and weaken its wings, Ye Qing is only sixteen years old. Even if he is white, he can start over. Lord, we really can't continue. Let's stop now that we haven't formed a final grudge

As for the future, there will always be opportunities, "Mr. Dai said with a chilling murderous intent.

You're right, so give me the order to withdraw the manpower according to the original plan, "Yu Cheng'en said with a dejected expression, waving his hand to let these people leave.

After staying in the dark room for a moment, I walked up the stairs and soon came across a hidden door.

Open the door and go out, it's in the ancestral hall. At this moment, I'm staring blankly at a pile of plaques, not knowing what I'm thinking in my heart!

Yingzhou Governor's Office

Ye Qing listened to the faint sound of sheng, xiao, qin and zither. After passing through several corridors, she saw a tall building in the garden, which could be reached by zigzagging along the White Marble bars.

Ye Qing walked up to the sixth floor and saw that it was seven stories high, and the top floor could really overlook the entire state city.

The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and the stars can be picked by hand.

I dare not speak loudly, for fear of startling the heavens

Glancing at the dazzling lights and listening to the clamor of the banquet, Ye Qing stopped at the steps in front of this building and recited slowly. After reciting, she asked again, "What is the name of your building

A maid with bright eyes and white teeth, listening to this poem, looked at the scholar dressed in deep red official attire, filled with awe and admiration. At this moment, she blushed slightly and cautiously replied, "Tilt the tower

Ye Qing can be considered as "revisiting the old place", which is out of the evil taste of the Earth. It sounds like teasing this maid. At this moment, seeing her tender face, she laughed and let go, looking out.

The earth is vast and dark, and the city is filled with endless sparks that come crashing into view.

Not as big as the metropolitan areas on Earth, but without any other tall buildings, and with the silence of heaven and earth, there is a sense of toppling over.

Jie Yuan, the banquet is about to begin. "The maid held a candle and urged in a soft voice, which was a gesture of goodwill and showed that she had been well trained by the governor's office.

Ye Qing glanced at her more and noticed the intricate black patterns on her clothing, as well as the seal of the Governor's Office.

This type of maid has a broad vision, is beautiful, and has a personality and demeanor. She must have been specially trained and selected from a young age, and is very rare in ordinary small clans.

But it does not have power itself, just as precious and fragile as the floating lotus on the water surface. Its value is low during a great tribulation, and it cannot be cultivated, hidden, or enjoyed without the level of prime minister or prince.

In this prosperous era, it can still be cultivated in the third grade official's mansion and presented to guests for appreciation on important occasions.

What will be the fate of this young girl in the future?

As she was pondering, the maid blushed and took a small step back, saying, "Jie Yuan, it's feasible

Ye Qing nodded and stepped forward, pushing open the door. As soon as she entered, she saw that the vast majority of the new juren had already arrived, each gathering to speak in a few places.

Another young girl sang softly, but it was a piece of music. The singing of this hymn, like mercury pouring down the ground, penetrated deeply, even Ye Qing was stunned.

Oh, Ye Qing, Duke Jie Yuan, you've finally arrived! "Jia Zixing, who came in second place, listened intently until the end of the song and the lingering sound had faded away before returning to speak.

At this moment, everyone was wearing the official attire of a juren. Jia Zixing was about thirty years old, shaking a bamboo fan and appearing elegant. He then smiled heartily and said, "I should be fined a cup later

A few Jurchen people around suddenly burst into laughter and said, "That's true, it should be punished

A juren stood up and smiled, "As a punishment, but the poetry and writings of Duke Jie Yuan have shaken the whole state. If you can write a poem on this building, we will toast you. What do you think

Yes, yes! "Someone immediately responded. Before Ye Qing could speak, someone laughed and said," This idea is very good, very good

Looking back, I saw an old man passing by, and the hall, which was originally bustling with discussions, became silent.

Everyone's talking interesting, why are they all mute? "The governor smiled and said," I've heard of Jie Yuan's poetic talent, and I should write one

The words made everyone laugh and the atmosphere eased.

Ye Qing bowed and took a serious look at the governor. He had seen him many times in his past life, but who would have thought that the kind old man who appeared now would become an iron blooded governor in the future, decisive in killing and even able to suppress Yu Fan for nearly seven years!

It can be said that Yu Fan's failure is inseparable from this person.

At this moment, he pondered for a moment and smiled, "Adults have orders, how dare students disobey orders? They should obey orders

Speaking, he stood up and saw Ye Qing take seven steps before looking back and writing:

At the end of the day, the mountain runs away and the river flows into the sea.

To be poor for thousands of miles, to climb to the next level.

Okay, okay! "The governor repeatedly saluted and praised, saying in unison," Good handwriting, good poetry. Someone, please frame this immediately and hang it on the wall

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately applauded and exclaimed, but when they saw a general manager coming over, they whispered something in a low voice. The governor was even more surprised and said, "You must be a talented scholar

However, at this point, the banquet time had already arrived, and without much to say, it was now at the forefront, saying, "Busy with business, sorry, sorry

All the newly invited scholars present were knowledgeable and praised each other, saying, "The governor is dedicated to serving the people and should be a model for scholars

The governor could tell it was flattery and chuckled, "I can't say that. Since I'm late, I'll punish myself with a drink

He had just arrived from the political affairs hall, and if he were to attend a banquet for his subordinates, he would be late and just laugh. However, these thirty new successful candidates have a bright future and are meeting for the first time after the list is opened, so they need to give some face.

A few pleasantries are enough to open the table.

For most Jurchen people from prestigious families in various counties, this banquet was simple in terms of food and drink, but it was a "leaning tower banquet". Yingzhou City reserved the program every three years, and dining was not important, reputation was more important.

Ke Yeqing has always been particular about banquets and has a habit of not paying attention to empty things.

Here's a joke:

The two Jurchen people met, and Jia talked about how the dishes were terrible and how the official courtesans were not beautiful at the banquet held in the 15th year of the Heijing era.

Yi was greatly surprised and said, "In the fifteenth year of the Heijing era, why didn't I know my elder brother

After carefully looking at the other person, I suddenly realized, "Isn't you the one who kept bowing his head and eating turtles during the banquet

This actually turned a corner and mocked the "ground beetle" coming out of the small county.

Then Ye Qing remembered and smiled, "I will concentrate on being a ground beetle!"

Thinking of this old incident, my gaze swept over and I saw that the Juren had eaten a few chopsticks one by one, and then regained their composure - in fact, at this banquet on the leaning tower, it was not specifically for banquets.

But Ye Qing hesitated and savored it with all her heart. To be honest, there was indeed a turtle. After carefully eating a piece, she felt that the taste was quite good. How could it be said that it was unbearable to drink?

Except for Ye Qing, only the governor really didn't have time to attend the dinner party. At this time, when using it on top, he didn't forget to invite all the scholars to taste it. No one would be uninterested. As long as the governor looked up from above, there was a flurry of chopsticks below, but as soon as he lowered his head, everything stopped. Even the usually charming Yu Fan had a "loss of appetite" all over his face.

Ye Qing almost couldn't laugh out loud: "So sentimental? Why bother

The atmosphere remained like this until the drinks and dishes were taken down, and many light veiled girls came up to dance on the field. These courtesans specially invited from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion were all trained and trained at a high cost, finally enlivening the scene.

At this moment, Ye Qing was bored, but no matter how beautiful she was, could she compare to the beauty at home? Even in terms of charming figure, Jiang Zinan far surpasses these.
