Chapter 453
Xiao Zeyu immediately recovered with a serious face and wiped his hands with a towel. The boss came in, followed by three or four waiters, all carrying large trays with exquisite refreshments.

"Mr. Xiao, this is our shop's signature steamed bun. The filling is top-quality shrimp and pork foreleg. It's delicious. This is white sugar cake. It's sweet but not greasy. This is"

Every time the boss puts a plate of refreshments on the table, he has to introduce them. He can't wait to praise his own refreshments to the sky, and it's also in order to have more conversations with Mr. Xiao.

Mr. Xiao is a good-looking talent, with extraordinary bearing and incomparable dignity. The world is in chaos now. Mr. Xiao may become the king of a country in the future. If you build a good relationship with him and give him a royal plaque, wouldn't you be prosperous?

"Thank you boss."

Xiao Zeyu thanked with a smile. He had already seen Su Qing's impatience, so he said to the boss:

"Just let it go, we still have something to discuss!"

What he said was very tactful, and the boss's servants understood it as soon as they heard it all day long. He immediately nodded and went out with a smile. Before leaving, he asked Xiao Zeyu with anticipation:
"Master Xiao, can I trouble you to bring a plaque to the shop later?"

"no problem."

Xiao Zeyu readily agreed, Su Qing raised his eyelids and looked at the boss, he is so smart, he knows to ask for words in advance, if Xiao Zeyu becomes the emperor, this is the plaque personally inscribed by the imperial pen, if Xiao Zeyu becomes a prisoner, he can hide the plaque , when there is no such thing.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, no wonder the merchants are placed at the bottom, it's too slick, and people don't like it.

"Qing'er, I remember you like sweet things, try white sugar cakes."

Xiao Zeyu remembered all of Su Qing's preferences, and really took her to heart, and put a piece of soft, glutinous white sugar cake in Su Qing's bowl.

"it is good."

Su Qing smiled and agreed, anyone would be happy to be remembered by others, and she also gave Xiao Zeyu a small steamed bun:

"You like meat, eat more."

Being fed by Su Qing, Xiao Zeyu grinned the corners of his mouth to his ears, smiling very happily.

The table was full of refreshments, and the two of them ate everything, showing how hungry they were.

"Do the soldiers have anything to eat?"

Su Qing still remembered those soldiers, who followed them through life and death, and could not go hungry.

"I've ordered people to cook, and I'll buy them some meat buns so that everyone can eat and drink."

While Xiao Zeyu answered, he asked the boss to help him buy two hundred meat buns. Their shop is full of exquisite refreshments, which are pleasing to the eye, but they are not enough to eat.

Xiao Zeyu gave the boss ten taels of silver, together with the tea he and Su Qing ate just now, to settle the bill. The boss didn't ask for any money:
"It's an honor for the little old man to be able to come to the small shop to eat, Mr. Xiao. I just ask for a word from Mr. Xiao, and the money is absolutely unacceptable."

"Take it, I will write for you, and the money must be collected."

Xiao Zeyu wants to show that he loves the people like a son, so naturally he can't give the people a greedy image of eating cards, isn't that the same as Wan Jiajun?

"All right!"

The boss was very emotional, Mr. Xiao was the same as General Xiao Heng back then, he didn't treat the masses with needles and needles, unlike those imperial officials who wanted to blow up the people.

The boss had already prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Xiao Heng asked the boss the name of the plaque. He picked up the brush and soaked it with ink. .

Su Qing stood aside and watched Xiao Zeyu's strokes. The characters were like a horse soaring into the sky, and like a dragon flying in the sky, flowing and leaping.

It was the first time for her to watch Xiao Zeyu write so quietly, mostly when he drew his sword, but she never thought that his handwriting was so chic and domineering, just like him.

"Good words, good words!"

The guests in the teahouse gathered around to watch Xiao Zeyu's handwriting. Seeing this free and unrestrained brush calligraphy, everyone applauded. Among them, a man in his 30s stared at Xiao Zeyu with admiration.

This person has a literati temperament, and his clothes are very shabby. The robe on his body is patched and washed very clean. His eyes are full of pride and ambition. His figure is straight and straight like a pine and cypress, not like ordinary literati.

"It just so happens that everyone is here. I am going to hold a winter exam. Those who can enter the top three are entrusted with a heavy responsibility. I hope everyone will spread the word and the government will issue a notice when they turn back. I hope that those who are talented will have a heart. Citizens come to participate in the winter test."

Xiao Zeyu cleared his throat, and announced to the people present that he was going to hold the winter exam and select good talents on the spot.

The eyes of the man in his thirties suddenly lit up. He looked at Xiao Zeyu with great excitement. He had not met his talents for many years and finally waited for this opportunity.

"I attended."

He raised his hand to sign up without hesitation, Xiao Zeyu looked at him with a smile:
"What's your name?"

Just looking at this person's face and demeanor, Xiao Zeyu liked it very much. It can be seen from the eyes of a proud person that this person has an extraordinary demeanor. Although he is dressed in shabby clothes, his demeanor is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Villain Chen Qingzhou."

Chen Qingzhou clasped his fists and saluted in a proper manner, Xiao Zeyu nodded: "I look forward to your good grades."

"The villain will surely live up to your high hopes."

Chen Qingzhou answered with full confidence, Su Qing has been watching him from the side, Chen Qingzhou's eyes are firm, he is neither humble nor overbearing, very ambitious, he is a talent.

The owner of the restaurant ordered the man to go out and buy [-] steamed buns. The man came back in a hurry, holding two large oiled paper bags in each hand, and said to Xiao Zeyu out of breath:
"Sir, the buns you want."

"It's work."

Xiao Zeyu took the buns and left with Su Qing. The guests and bosses in the restaurant kept sending him out. Chen Qingzhou stood in the crowd and his eyes were full of pride and ambition.

"How dare Young Master Xiao take the exam instead of the imperial court?"

"Is this a rebellion?"

As soon as Xiao Zeyu left, some people whispered in the teahouse that timid literati would not dare to take the exam. Doesn't that mean they are clearly against the court?He immediately became a traitor.

"Haven't everyone in the current imperial court have enough disappointment? The current emperor is a usurper and rebellious minister, a traitor and a traitor, and everyone can punish him."

Chen Qingzhou stood up when he heard the discussion from the crowd, and told everyone righteously that the owner of the restaurant was so frightened when he heard Chen Qingzhou's impassioned speech that he hurried over to persuade him:

"Chen Xiucai, don't talk about politics."

Oh my god!Is Mr. Xiao really going to rebel?If this is the case, then his inscription cannot be kept.

The boss quietly ordered the staff to take the plaque that Xiao Zeyu just mentioned to the fire room and burn it. Chen Qingzhou heard Teng and stood up:

"It was you who begged Mr. Xiao to help you inscription, and now you are timid and afraid of ruining the calligraphy. This is the behavior of a villain. If you dare not ask for it, give it to me. Don't ruin your calligraphy."

This painting became a hot potato in the hands of the boss. Seeing that Chen Qingzhou wanted him to order someone to give it to him immediately, he advised him:
"Mr. Chen, I advise you not to take the winter exam. Being found out by the court is a serious crime of copying and beheading."
