It was the man who had slapped the young man on the shoulder.
The young man was about to speak, but his mouth was covered and then he was hinted.
When they turned their heads, they saw a carriage on the street heading towards the Imperial College.
The word "Yan" was written on one side of the carriage.
Yan's Yan Jingqing.
The young man was shocked when he saw it, and quickly sat down without saying anything.
The person who was at the head of this table also pulled a few other people away, and smiled at the other customers at the stall before leaving.
but
At this time, the two students sitting inside stared at Yan Jingqing's carriage with anger on their faces: "It is more difficult to guard against the mouths of the people than to guard against the river. The lackeys of the Yang Party are just a carriage, and people dare not say anything! How majestic! Li Nishang rebelled and plotted rebellion, and her followers were killed. The court of Daxia seems to be bright and clear, but if the Yang Party is not eliminated, how can there be light! Alas, I don't know what your majesty is thinking, and he will eliminate them together! "
The person sitting opposite the student immediately said, "An Ming! Stop talking nonsense!"
After saying that, the slightly older student saw Su Changan looking at him, and he immediately stood up and bowed: "My friend is drunk and talking nonsense, please don't really believe it."
Su Changan held the Hu pancake in his hand, smiled slightly, nodded, and turned to continue eating.
He remembered that this man was called Zuo Shaoweng, after all, he had seen him several times.
At the same time, Xia Fengxiang also smiled and stopped looking at the two of them.
The student named An Ming was younger, but he looked at Zuo Shaoweng who sat back down and said, "Brother Zuo, what are you afraid of? Wasn't your grandfather framed by Yang Shanchang?"
Zuo Shaoweng frowned as he saw An Ming was about to continue talking: "If you still don't shut up, you can wait for Li Wei here by yourself. I'm going in first."
An Ming was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Zuo Shaoweng was angry, he hesitated to speak and shook his head helplessly. However, he looked at Yan Jingqing's carriage with an indignant look on his face.
but
As if he suddenly remembered something, An Ming looked at Zuo Shaoweng and asked, "Brother Zuo, do you still remember Meng Shaoan? The man who went to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet with you and Li Wei, and later followed the Eighth Prince and the Crown Prince."
Zuo Shaoweng nodded.
An Ming immediately said, "I heard that he is very powerful now. After arriving in Yandi, he was directly entrusted with an important task by the prince and took over the power of the county magistrate."
Zuo Shaoweng shook his head helplessly: "The prince also tried to recruit you back then, are you envious?"
An Ming immediately shook his head: "As scholars, we are only loyal to the court and bow to the essence of the country. Going to work for a prince. And what is the intention of the Eighth Prince, don't tell me you can't see it."
Zuo Shaoweng frowned: "You've only said two sentences, and you're talking nonsense again, right?"
An Ming was helpless.
But this time.
Su Changan and the others had finished eating and walked towards the Imperial College.
An Ming glanced at Su Changan and the other three, a little surprised: "Are they really going to the Imperial College? This is much scarier than Liu Xuan."
Zuo Shaoweng smiled helplessly, glanced at Su Changan and the others, then looked at An Ming: "Don't gossip, especially commenting on other people's appearance."
An Ming curled his lips: "Yes, yes, Brother Zuo."
Zuo Shao Weng was helpless, but he looked at the backs of Su Changan and the others, especially Su Changan, frowned slightly, and always felt that he had seen that person before.
Xia Fengxiang, who was walking towards the Imperial College, looked at Su Changan and said, "What do you think of that guy named An Ming?"
Chapter 177: Lively but Slightly Awkward Imperial College
Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "Did you like him? Let me tell you, he is not as pretty as me, nor as knowledgeable as me!"
Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan: "I'm asking about serious matters! Don't talk nonsense, or I'll deal with you when I get back!"
Su Changan wanted to ask how to deal with it, but he held back and stopped joking, saying, "A passionate patriotic young man?"
Xia Fengxiang laughed when he heard this, and then said, "You can describe a straightforward and reckless personality as passionate."
However, Xia Fengxiang glanced at the students at the gate of the Imperial College and said, "But it is true that they are passionate."
After that, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "That An Ming's original name was Wei Anming. He is one of the candidates who will go to Japan this time. His father is Wei Xuancheng. Two years ago, he petitioned to kill Li Nishang and Yang Shanchang. As a result, he was hated by the Yang Party and the Empress Dowager Party at that time and was imprisoned. In order to protect him, I demoted him and sent him to Longyou Road to serve as a soldier under Zhao Wuxiu. But he will be back soon."
At this point, Xia Fengxiang thought about what was the point of saying all this, so he looked at Su Changan and asked, "So what do you think of Zuo Shaoweng?"
Su Changan frowned and was about to say, "I'm really jealous of you."
But Xia Fengxiang saw through Su Changan's thoughts and immediately said, "Answer properly! Don't be so playful! Humph!"
Su Changan was helpless, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Don't tell me that if I say more, it will determine someone's life. Then I dare not comment more."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say that among the millions of literati in the world, the only person Zuo Shaoweng admires among his peers is Miss Chang'an. They admire you so much! Moreover, his wife is an admirer of yours, and she often takes you as her goal when teaching her children. But you don't say a single good word."
Su Changan smiled a little embarrassedly, but he suddenly thought of something and said, "It's useless for me to persuade you. We haven't even slept together yet."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes, looked at Su Changan's current ugly appearance, and cursed: "You are so ugly, isn't it disgusting for you to say such things!"
Su Changan frowned and said seriously, "Very good, Xia Qingge said I'm ugly and doesn't like me anymore."
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, looking at Su Changan and was about to kick him, but just as he was about to raise his foot, he remembered the situation between him and Su Changan now. If he fought like usual, it would not look good. So he rolled his eyes at Su Changan and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang and secretly sighed, it turned out that to defeat women, you have to use their way, and he should use it more often in the future.
Although the fact that Miss Chang'an would give a lecture in the Imperial College today was not publicized, many people knew about it, and many students also knew about it.
In order to prevent outsiders from entering, Mu Xu also asked Xun Kuang and others to make invitations. Only with invitations can they enter.
Of course, the students of the Imperial College had their own name cards to prove their credentials, so they did not need an invitation.
The honors enjoyed by Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang were truly special, forming a sharp contrast with the talented men and beautiful women who were invited around them.
Especially the servant boy who followed them, compared with the ugly appearance of Yan Ruyu and Maomao at the moment, he was much more handsome and handsome.
Some people were even shocked when they saw Su Changan's appearance, and immediately asked the people around them: "Brother Zhang, compared with this person, I am so handsome."
After hearing what his companion said, the man carefully looked at Su Changan who was walking on the other side for a while, and then immediately nodded: "That's right!"
The man from before was immediately happy, and he became much more confident. He held his head high and chest out. He no longer felt that the big mole on his face was an eyesore, but instead it was a symbol of his handsomeness.
……
There was also a pair of man and woman. The woman was stunned for a moment when she saw Su Changan, then looked at Xia Fengxiang who was walking with Su Changan, and pulled the man next to her.
The man turned around to look at the woman and asked with a smile, "Are you tired, sister Lian? If you are, take a rest before you go on. It's a pity that I can't hold you at the gate of the Imperial College, otherwise I would definitely not let you land on your feet, sister Lian."
The woman was a little embarrassed by the man's words, but shook her head: "Walk slowly, those people are so ugly, maybe they are infecting each other, let's not get too close. What if they infect you and me?"
Hearing this, the man looked at Su Changan and the others. He hadn't noticed them just now, but now he took a closer look and saw how ugly they were! So he nodded immediately and said, "Sister Lian is right. Let's walk slowly. Come, let's hold hands. Sister Lian and I are both so good-looking. We are not afraid of their ugliness."
The woman was shy, but she let the man hold her hand.
……
There were also students who were studying in groups of three. When they saw Su Changan and his group, they immediately sighed, "As expected of the capital city. We have encountered all kinds of things since we came to the capital city. Today, we have even met four people with such strange looks, and they are scholars."
"Brother Wen, please don't say such nonsense. The Imperial College has commented on other people's appearance before."
"I'm not saying anything nonsense. I'm really surprised. Especially, how should I put it? The idiom 'ugly appearance' can be used to describe these people. However, what I'm more concerned about is, aren't they afraid of being ugly to Miss Chang'an? I can't bear to look at them for a few more seconds."
"Ms. Chang'an is kind and gentle, she won't care about these things, let alone these people."
When he said this, the gentleman saw Su Changan turning around and laughing, and he immediately took a breath, so he changed the topic and said, "I hope I didn't scare Miss Changan."
……
Although the books of sages say that we should not comment on other people's appearance as it is against etiquette.
But these students who had just taken the imperial examination were after all ordinary people. What's more, Su Changan and the other three made themselves as ugly as possible in order to avoid being recognized. It was really hilarious and made people want to say a few more words.
And
His plain appearance was actually a compliment to Su Changan and others.
Therefore, the closer to the entrance of the Imperial College, the more people saw it, and the more people talked about it.
Su Changan and the others didn't care at all.
When they arrived at the gate of the Imperial College, Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang took out the business cards of the Imperial College students.
There were thousands of students in the Imperial College, many of whom did not know each other and could only recognize each other by name cards.
There is a special seal of the Imperial College on the name card, which is difficult to forge and no one dares to forge it.
Of course, Xia Fengxiang dared to do it, so she just made four of them.
Therefore, when the guards at the gate of the Imperial College saw the name card, they were surprised, but they thought that they should remember someone with such a good appearance.
However, although he was surprised at the extreme ugliness of Su Changan, Xia Fengxiang and the other three, he found that the business cards were real, so he had to let them go.
Today is not a banquet like a literary gathering or a poetry party.
It's just an ordinary lecture, to put it bluntly, it's like taking a class.
Therefore, there is no such person as the Japanese club who specializes in welcoming guests.
On the contrary, students walk around more freely.
After entering the Imperial College, Su Changan asked about the location of today's lecture.
The girl who was asked for directions was startled, but seeing that Su Changan bowed politely, she resisted the urge to run away and showed Su Changan the way. She was even more considerate and suggested that it would be better to go earlier because someone had already gone there at noon today and reserved a seat.
Su Changan thanked them and went with Xia Fengxiang and the others.
The girl was left comforting herself, thinking that being ugly alone is not terrible, but when four people are together, it is quite terrible.
Today's lecture is still held in the large lecture hall of the Japanese Society.
When Su Changan and the others went there, the lecture hall was packed with people, and even the inside was full of people.
After searching for a while, Xia Fengxiang saw a place under a tree not far from the main seat, so the four of them walked over.
After the four people passed by, the students who were originally nearby were startled and looked at Su Changan and the others with strange eyes.
But I stopped looking at it immediately, after all, he still has some quality.
They were just whispering to each other, and the word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Immediately, many people turned their heads to look at Su Changan and the others.
It caused a small commotion.
