Liao Zhai's Refining God

Chapter 71
Chapter 71 Banquet

"Thank you, brother Ziting. Since the exam rules are like this, we don't have to be too serious. It's not too late to serve the country after entering the official career." Wang Lin said.

"If everyone in the court is as impetuous as the papers in this government examination, being an official is also boring. Unfortunately, the old mother and good wife in the family need me to get the fame of a scholar, so I have to do it, I have to do it!" Lu Ziting He sighed helplessly.

"Haha, it's rare for brother Ziting to have such a soft side, which surprised me." Wang Lin laughed.From his words, it can be heard that it is really not easy to be a human being, especially Lu Ziting, who is proud but comes from a poor family.

The two chatted and walked into Jinhua Fucheng. Fucheng is no better than Guobei County. The ground is completely paved with bluestone, enough for two carriages to run side by side. In this world, it feels like a luxurious metropolis. , all kinds of shops are dazzling, and they look very prosperous, which makes Wang Lin feel like returning to her previous life.

"Here we are, the Superintendent's Office is in front of us." Lu Ziting pointed to a magnificent building in front of him.

Wang Lin looked around, and saw a huge yamen courtyard appearing on the street. The courtyard gate was towering, and there were stone sculptures like unicorns erected on both sides, all carved with white jade, which looked extremely luxurious. The courtyard gate was a huge red lacquer gate. I don't know what kind of wood it is made of, and it is inlaid with bronze round nails. It looks neat and dignified. When you look at this courtyard, you can feel that the status of the Superintendent's Office is unusual.

"Except for the yamen of Mr. Futai, the Jinhua mansion is the most luxuriously built in this governor's mansion, even more magnificent than the yamen of Xiaowei's mansion who is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the whole mansion. Therefore, although Mr. Xuezheng is not of high grade , but it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, not under the control of the local government, and in Jinhua Mansion, it can be regarded as a high-ranking member of the Happy Party, with a high status." Lu Ziting said.

Wang Lin listened silently, and didn't say much. He was not interested in an official career, and the reason for being a scholar was largely for the convenience of studying abroad.Maybe it's because I'm a little interested in the imperial examination system in this world, so I don't have much pressure in my heart, and I'm not interested in the regulation of this world.But I was quite surprised in my heart, I never thought that my cheap father Wang Xiuyuan had once been famous, and he was also an important member of the party.In the previous life, this was equivalent to the position of an education supervisor.

The two informed the guard of their identities, and were led into the yamen through the side door. The procedure was extremely simple. A clerk collected the paperwork, recorded it, and informed the two of the exam time, and asked to arrive one day in advance. The Tribute Academy checks the specific location of their own exams.It was done in less than an hour.

"Brother Wang Lin, you really made us wait! Haha." Walking out of the Xuezheng Yamen, they met Chen Biao, Gao Shang and Zhang Linyu, who seemed to be waiting for Wang Lin.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Lu? You are familiar with Brother Wang." Gao Shang only discovered Lu Ziting at this time, and suddenly he said strangely.Lu Ziting's face darkened immediately, and he seemed to be quite afraid of him, which made Wang Lin, who was watching his words, quite curious. With Lu Ziting's fearless character, he would be afraid of Gao Shang, which is really strange.

"You guys know each other!" Chen Biao said with interest.

"Oh, I participated in the government examination together last year. Brother Lu also bought medicine from my family's pharmacy when his mother was seriously ill. You can be regarded as a classmate." Gao Shang said.

"Brother Gao, when I have collected enough money, I will pay it back right away." Lu Ziting bowed.

"What Brother Lu said, it's only ten taels of silver, it's not worth anything. Is your aunt's illness better?" Gao Shang said with a smile.

"It's better, it's better." Lu Ziting said that he wanted to leave quickly.

"A penny can't beat a hero!" In a few words, Wang Lin had roughly figured out the relationship between the two of them. In order to alleviate Lu Ziting's embarrassment, Wang Lin interrupted Gao Shang and said, "What's the matter with the three brothers?"

Chen Biao winked at Gao Shang, and Gao Shang hurriedly said, "Since we left the academy, we haven't seen each other for a long time. The three of us miss Brother Wang very much. Brother Chen booked a banquet at the Lion Tower on East Street, and we are waiting for you to attend the banquet. Well. Brother Lu is going too, don't try to shirk."

Of course Lu Ziting didn't want to go, but Gao Shang said so, he actually violated his original intention and didn't open his mouth.Wang Lin was immediately interested. The three of them didn't know what their plan was, but how could Wang Lin be afraid of them? She immediately became interested and asked, "Lion House, do you have any special dishes?"

"Haha, it seems that Brother Wang is ignorant. It should be the first time he has come to Jinhua Fucheng. There is a famous dish in the Lion House called 'Lion's Head'. It is said that ten different types of meat are made into minced meat and steamed. , There are flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground, winged, double-legged, and four-hoofed. In addition, it is equipped with yam, wolfberry, lotus seeds and other auxiliary materials. It tastes delicious and melts in the mouth. Absolutely." Zhang Linyu explained beside him.

"Brother Ziting, it's rare to have such delicious food. The kindness of the three brothers is hard to refuse. Let's try it." Wang Lin said.

"Okay!" Lu Ziting looked at Gao Shang's threatening eyes, and suddenly his face darkened.

Wang Lin looked at her words and smiled slightly in her heart. People like Lu Ziting need to be tempered on such occasions, otherwise they will be arrogant and thin-skinned, and sooner or later they will suffer big losses in the officialdom.You have to be like your ancestor Wang Jikang.

"Okay, please!" Chen Biao said happily.

"No rush, it's still early for lunch, and I still have some things to do. Brother Lu, why don't you accompany the three brothers first, and I'll be there later." Wang Lin said.

"Okay then!" Lu Ziting didn't know what Wang Lin wanted to do, and he didn't want to be with Chen Biao and the others, but he had a gentlemanly character, so he wouldn't go back on his promise, and he was ashamed to follow Wang Lin, after all, Wang Lin said he wanted to. Matters had to be handled, so Lu Ziting naturally didn't want people to follow him, so Lu Ziting followed the three of them to the East Street rather helplessly.

In fact, Wang Lin really had something to do, he was going to the Temple of the City God to offer incense.Of course, offering incense is secondary, the main thing is to investigate whether the Yamen of the Fucheng Yinsi is intact, so that you can have confidence.After all, the more information you know, the more you worry. This world is no longer safe. There are fierce ghosts entrenched and ghosts wandering a few kilometers outside the city. Once the Yamen of the Underworld disappears, I am afraid that chaos will not be far away.

After inquiring, I found out that the City God's Temple in Fucheng is on North Street. Wang Lin searched and inquired, and it took half an hour to arrive.After buying the incense, I entered the Chenghuang Temple.While enjoying the incense, he looked around, and inadvertently swept it with the Qi Watching Technique, and then his heart settled down.

The Fucheng Emperor Temple is much larger than the Town God's Temple in Guobei County. It has all kinds of deities, such as the City God, civil and military judges, and the Division of Rewards and Punishments. It has a lot more than Guobei County. It was observed with the Qi Wang technique, and it was found that the light inside the statue was bright, and there was the aura of the god's dharma body coiled around it, obviously it was not harmed.
