Chen Maoli's fierce praise made Xu Yan feel a little embarrassed.

He is worthy of being a scholar, even praising people is so good!

"Uh... Brother Lu Qing is so praise..."

Xu Yan swallowed and spitted, stretched out his right arm and made a gesture of invitation: "Brother Lu Qing, why don't you come into the house? Let's chat slowly?"

Chen Maoli nodded and said, "Brother Yu is just thinking about this."

The two of them went into Xu Yan's upper room one after another to find a chair to sit down. Shuangxi hurriedly poured two cups of tea and served carefully.

"I have something unknown. Seeing that Brother Lu Qing is not like a poor family, how could he not afford the house?"

Xu Yan took a sip of tea and asked carefully.

"Hey, this matter is a long story."

Chen Maoli shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Yu came to the mansion city a few days ago to prepare for the trial. Seeing that the Tailai Inn is close to the Mansion School, he decided to live here. To be honest, although Brother Yu's family is not a huge wealth, he can still afford three cents of silver a day. But there are unexpected situations in the world, and people have good fortunes and good fortunes. Yesterday, Brother Yu went out to the street to buy some snacks, so he put a pad when he was studying at night, but... the package was stolen by the thief."

Xu Yan nodded: "So that's it, but the waiter is too snobbish. Seeing that Brother Lu Qing could not afford the house, he actually wanted to drive people away, and he refused to give up for even a day."

"It's not entirely his fault. After all, Brother Yu was not careful enough. Fortunately, when he met his brother, he would have really called him Tiantian and said that he was not effective."

Chen Maoli picked up the teacup and said in a harmonious voice: "Come on, I am using tea instead of wine, I wish you a cup of me."

Xu Yan hurriedly raised his glass and drank with Chen Maoli.

Before the two of them finished drinking, they saw the waiter coming to the door with the meal, nodded and laughed, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Chen, I'll bring you breakfast."

Xu Yan raised his hand and pointed: "Let's put it on the table."

The waiter saw that the two of them had a great time talking, so he walked into the house and put down the meal and bowed and left.

"If you need anything, just give me instructions." After that, he brought the door.

"Brother Lu Qing, is this your first time participating in the house examination?"

Although Xu Yan knew that Chen Maoli was a Jinshi in the 29th year of Jiajing, he really didn't know when he passed the imperial examination. In theory, as long as he got the reputation of a scholar before the provincial examination, he could participate in the autumn examination.

Chen Maoli nodded slightly: "Brother Yu is really ashamed. This is the first time someone has participated in the mansion examination. The master of the family has very strict requirements for someone. He will not ask someone to go to the examination unless he is sure to pass the three consecutive exams."

Tsk, it seems that Chen Maoli’s mentor is also a wonderful person.

To be honest, scholars are not old when they are in their early twenties to participate in the county, government and college entrance examinations, but because Xu Yan is only fifteen years old, Chen Maoli looks a little older.

"Brother Lu Qing is full of talent and knowledge, so he will definitely be able to win three consecutive tests."

"Where are you, a virtuous brother is a young talent, and a scholar is at his fingertips."

After the two of them had a commercial slogan, Chen Maoli said leisurely: "Brother, do you know that something strange happened in Ningbo Prefecture recently?"

"Uh, Brother Lu Qing might as well tell me."

Chen Maoli looked at him and said with joy. Xu Yan smiled and said, "He is my personal book boy, Brother Lu Qing, but it's okay."

Chen Maoli nodded and lowered his voice, "Brother Yu heard that a white turtle appeared in Ningbo Prefecture recently. This is auspiciousness from heaven. I heard that the prefect has presented the white turtle to Lord Futai and is preparing to send a special person to the capital to present the priest."

Uh... Xu Yan thought it was a strange thing, it turned out that the white turtle appeared in the world...

He made this thing and did it with one hand. Can anyone know more about it than him?

Of course, Xu Yan couldn't say these words to Chen Maoli.

Xu Xiaolangjun pondered and said, "Auspiciousness comes from the sky, and white turtles come to the world. This shows that today's son is wise. We should study hard, strive to get a scholar as soon as possible, do things for the court, and share the worries of the king."

Chen Maoli was very excited after hearing this: "What my brother said is so true. I have been studying hard for more than ten years in seclusion to help you to Yao and Shun. Since you are lucky enough to meet your brother on this trip, let us encourage you together!"

"Brother has a life, but I dare not follow you."

Xu Yan and Chen Maoli looked at each other and smiled.

It was just when the two of them were having a good time when they suddenly heard a noise outside the house.

Before they could react, the door was pushed open.

Two yamen runners wearing blue coarse cloth and narrow sleeves walked in with great momentum. The fat man glanced at Xu Yan and Chen Maoli, and said in a tone: "After receiving the order from the Lord of the Mansion, the Japanese pirates have recently invaded our Ningbo Mansion again. From now on, all people staying in the hotel must register to prevent anyone from engaging in the Japanese."

Seeing him looking domineering, Chen Maoli felt that he was not angry.

It's just holding chicken feathers as a command arrow, what's so cool about it?

He was about to speak out, but Xu Yan took the lead: "Thank you for your hard work. We are all scholars who went to Fucheng to take the exam. We found an inn close to Fuxue. We were from Dinghai County, and my brother was from Cixi County."

"Scholars?"

The fat yamen runner raised his eyebrows and said, "Scholars must also register, and you won't take out your way!"

Although Xu Yan was unhappy, he knew that there was no point in making any disputes with these yamen runners, so he ordered a double happiness to attract him.

The little Shutong took the way out of the package and handed it to the young master. Xu Yan took the way out and handed it to the yamen runner with both hands.

Lu Yin records the names and identities of Xu Yan and Shuangxi, where they come from and where they go.

The yamen runners who came to be responsible for inspection and registration were carefully selected from the government office. They could recognize all the basic characters and write them in common words.

After seeing it, the yamen runner took out a small notebook and took notes.

After recording, he turned to Chen Maoli again, glared at the guy and said, "Where is your way? Is it a deaf?"

Chen Maoli has never been treated so rudely, but the scholar was unable to explain the reason when he met a soldier. After he hesitating for a moment, he still surrendered: "This policeman, please listen to Chen's explanation. Yesterday, Chen went to the street to buy something, but the package was stolen by the thief. Not only did it contain silver, but also road signs..."

"Can't you find a way out?"

The officer rudely interrupted Chen Maoli: "If you can't take the opportunity, you will be a rioter. You will always treat the Japanese pirates as a member of the party. Come on, let's go with my grandfather and my yamen!"

Seeing the atmosphere tense for a moment, Xu Yan hurried forward and said, "Don't be excited, this big brother, don't be excited. My brother is out there and there is no way to meet thieves. Now that his road is stolen, Xu is willing to testify for him and prove his identity."

After saying that, he winked at Shuangxi, Xiaoshu understood the truth and went to the package and took out a ingot of silver and ran back.

"This is Xu's intention. The two big brothers of the two officers have worked hard to inspect, so they can buy some wine and food."

The officer wanted to scold him, but when he saw Xu Yan understands the rules so well, he was very happy.

"Since Mr. Xu is willing to protect him, there is no problem. I will keep his hometown information behind Mr. Xu."
