Chapter 270: Reciting Poems and Enjoying the Scenery in the Bamboo Garden
Lin Jingxuan gave Jiang Chengci a thumbs up and said, "Great."
The money they make is from not bargaining, or bargaining less.
Finally, Jiang Ci asked for another bag of colorful shells.
There are so many stalls here, and there are even more novel things on them.
They went shopping all day, avoiding the hottest times of noon and afternoon, but still hadn't finished.
"Shall we stay here one more day tomorrow, or go to the capital city?"
"Let's spend another day strolling around. Anyway, it's only less than a day's journey from here to the capital, and Jingchen probably hasn't finished his exams yet."
The sun was shining brightly. Lin Jingchen, who had finished his exams and packed up his things in the academy, was waiting for his family to come and pick him up.
Xiao Nanchi came to Lin Jingchen's room and invited him warmly, "Come with me to the bamboo forest behind."
"What are you doing there?"
"Liu Yunyi and his friends are holding a poetry reading over there. It would be boring for you to stay here alone. Why don't you come with me?"
"Okay, let's go."
The group of people over there were a little surprised to see Xiao Nanchi coming over.
After all, they would usually invite Xiao Nanchi to any event they held, but in more than a year, he had never come once.
I didn't expect him to come this time and bring someone with him.
"Master Xiao!"
"Bring your friends here to join in the fun. This is Lin Jingchen."
"Lin Jingchen!"
"I've heard the teacher of the student class often praise it before. I'm sure he'll pass the exam this time!"
Lin Jingsheng thanked him politely, "Thank you!"
When they first looked at the people around Xiao Nanchi, some of them didn't know who he was.
But once this name came out, few people didn’t know it.
An outstanding student who the teacher often talks about.
A person with no background who has a very good relationship with Xiao Nanchi, a rich young man from the capital.
No matter which of these two points, it has attracted a lot of people's attention.
The purpose of this poetry gathering was mainly for fun, and the invited guests were all from the scholar class, but there were also a few people who had just passed the college entrance examination.
A group of people recited poems, wrote couplets, drank tea and enjoyed the scenery.
After a few rounds, everyone became familiar with each other and started chatting.
"Will you take part in the autumn exam next year?"
"I will definitely participate next year. I have been preparing for three years."
"I'll have to make the most of this time. I plan to give it a try next year. After all, if I don't participate next year, I'll have to wait another three years."
"The last time I took the college entrance examination, I participated in the autumn examination a year later. I failed miserably. However, with the accumulation of these years, I still have some confidence."
Several people looked at Xiao Nanchi.
Finally, Liu Yunyi asked, "Nan Chi, what about you?"
Among them, Xiao Nanchi is the youngest, but he is still in Class A, and his knowledge is obvious to everyone in his class.
“I will definitely participate next year.”
A student who had passed the college entrance examination said, "What a pity! I have to wait four years before I can take part in the autumn examination."
When he said this, some people's faces turned unhappy.
After all, some people have been preparing for more than four years.
After he said that, he realized that there was something wrong with what he said, but he didn't know how to explain it when he opened his mouth, so he simply shut up.
But after hearing what he said, Xiao Nanchi felt really sorry for Lin Jingchen.
With the speed at which Lin Jingchen absorbed knowledge, he didn't need to prepare for four years for the provincial examination.
When the activity ended and everyone dispersed back to the yard, there was no one else around them.
Lin Jingchen asked Xiao Nanchi beside him, "After you passed the imperial examination in the autumn, did you still stay in Baichuan Academy?"
Xiao Nanchi put his arm around Lin Jingchen's shoulders and said, "If I'm not in our academy, where should I go?"
"Isn't the academy in the capital better?"
"Then why am I in Baichuan Academy now?"
Seeing that Lin Jingchen couldn't answer, Xiao Nanchi rubbed his head violently a few times.
"It's so nice here. Even if I win the first place in the imperial examination, I won't be willing to leave."
Lin Jingchen pushed away the hand that was causing trouble on his head, but still feeling angry, he slapped Xiao Nanchi hard on the back.
Xiao Nanchi was beaten so hard that he screamed.
Xiao Nanchi reached for the spot on his back where Lin Jingchen had hit him, "Hiss! Why were you so cruel?"
"That's what you should do!"
Then he pointed at his hair and said, "Look at what it has become."
"It doesn't matter. Our Achen is still the handsome and elegant scholar."
After saying that, he ran to the side, fearing that he would be beaten by Lin Jingchen again.
"Oh, by the way, how many days of leave do you plan to ask the teacher for?"
"About half a month."
"Half a month? Would Master Meng agree to that?"
"He didn't agree at first! But I conquered him with my knowledge."
Lin Jingchen praised, "Great!"
Apart from his brother Ci and his eldest brother, the person he admires most is Xiao Nanchi.
Born in a wealthy family, he has such a good temper.
He was only less than two years older than him, but his knowledge was beyond measure.
Not only in the imperial examination, but also in all aspects.
"Will you take part in the Spring Examination right after the Autumn Examination?"
Lin Jingchen thought of this question and asked it.
“This is still under consideration.”
I originally wanted to participate, but I hesitated during this period.
"These two are indeed too close together."
The Autumn Examination will be held in the autumn of next year, and the Spring Examination will be held in the spring of the year after. Most people will not take both exams at the same time.
Xiao Nanchi looked directly into Lin Jingchen's eyes and said, "That's not the question."
Lin Jingchen did not ask the next question.
They stayed here for another day, until Jiang Ci and his team finally arrived the next morning.
She felt a little embarrassed in front of Lin Jingchen, "I came across some interesting places on the way, so I was delayed a bit."
Their whole family, together with Xiao Nanchi's carriage, went to Xiao Mingyi in a grand manner.
When Xiao Mingyi opened the door and saw so many people standing at the door, he was unable to react for a moment.
"You're all here!"
"Everyone is here, everyone is here, we have to come and see the master."
"Come in quickly, come in quickly, Brother Ci is still the sweet talker."
Then he turned around and shouted into the house, "There are guests at home, Nanhua Xiaoyan, come out."
Xiao Nanhua had met Ye Wan and Lin Shan before, and also knew that Lin Jingsheng had a younger sister.
However, they did not come to their wedding, so Xiao Nanhua introduced them to Shen Yan one by one.
Until the last face he had never seen before.
Xiao Nanchi introduced himself enthusiastically, saving both parties from embarrassment.
"This time, I'm going to their village town with Jingchen to have some fun."
"The stream in the back mountain of that village is quite interesting. It has attracted many people to the town at this time."
Hearing this, Lin Jingan wondered, "Is our town so famous?"
"There is a room restaurant and a Baiwei milk tea shop here."
Everyone, including Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng, was a little shocked.
"It seems that our restaurant and milk tea shop are really popular. Even people in the capital know about it."
