Chapter 7 First Encounter at Huashilou(1/2)
Zilong came out of the house and walked downstairs. The waiter who was waiting in the hall was a little hesitant when he saw Zilong./p>
/p>
"Young Master?"/p>
/p>
"Well, where are the dishes I ordered?"/p>
/p>
"Here, here, the young master will follow me."/p>
/p>
Zilong nodded, and then walked towards his seat under the guidance of the waiter./p>
/p>
"Young master, the young man is so clumsy just now. He is as handsome as a young man. I am so handsome and phoenix among men. I am so blind. I hope you will forgive me." While guiding Zilong, the waiter did not forget to flatter him./p>
/p>
"You little boy, are you still a little bit of culture?" Zilong felt that he was about to be praised. I have to say that this waiter's flattery sounds comfortable./p>
/p>
"The young master has won the award, and the villain has also passed the exam for fame and fortune, so it's still quite literary."/p>
/p>
"How many places did you take the exam?"/p>
/p>
"The last Central Plains Competition was held, and there were only more than 10,000 candidates in the entire Central Plains. The villain was not talented and ranked 18th."/p>
/p>
"I'll go, 18! 18 are you here to be a waiter?" Zilong was surprised. In his usual impression, it was so difficult to read all the knowledge and do literature. The eighteenth place in the Central Plains Great Literature Test is very high./p>
/p>
"I'm ashamed to say that my young master doesn't know that the Central Plains are so prosperous today, and my literary decline is so weak. People like villains who cannot feel the true energy of their origin and have no chance of practicing. It is difficult to be reused if they don't enter the top ten in the literary test. In addition, the current atmosphere is not good, and it is difficult to do things without money or power... I'm going to hide it from my young master, when I first met my young master outside the inn in advance, I regarded my young master as a beggar and wanted to drive him away. The social atmosphere is like this, and villains are also deeply infectious. I hope my young master will understand." The waiter said at the end of his speech with a hint of sadness./p>
/p>
While talking, the waiter had already taken Zilong to a private room with a wide view and beautiful environment on the second floor./p>
/p>
"Young Master, please."/p>
/p>
Zilong looked at the table of delicious food and invited this waiter to sit together with his miserable career./p>
/p>
"My second brother, come on, I'll just eat together anyway."/p>
/p>
Xiaoer Quilt Zilong was startled by the sudden invitation, and he was even suspicious of his ears./p>
/p>
"Come on, although I can eat it, it's a bit too much this time."/p>
/p>
"No, thank you, young master, but if the boss knows, I will be in trouble again." The waiter refused./p>
/p>
"What's your name?" Zilong asked./p>
/p>
"The villain's surname is Cao, and the single name is Jin." The waiter answered truthfully./p>
/p>
"Don't be despised by others, and do not be humble by yourself. God rewards hard work, and I will be in charge of my own warmth and coldness, and I will be my destiny!" Zilong sat on the stool, picked up the chopsticks, and said nothing./p>
/p>
Cao Jin listened to what the boy in front of him said, and he was a little choked. Cao Jin repeated Zilong's words in a low voice, his body trembled a little, and then bowed deeply to Zilong./p>
/p>
"Thank you!"/p>
/p>
Cao Jin bowed and stepped down, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Think about what he had done in the past few years./p>
/p>
Since he won the ranking in the Central Plains Competition three years ago, he was full of joy but was everywhere. None of the famous clans or the palace literary gardens would accept him. There are not many simple scholars like him. Most of the famous clans are their own people in charge of ink and writing, while the palace literary gardens are corrupt in their style, giving gifts to help them, and various internal decisions are made./p>
/p>
A poor student like him is really desperate. After a lot of ups and downs, he began to give up on himself. However, in order to support his family, he had no skills to do errands in his hometown inn. After more than a year, his original pride and sharpness have been almost wiped out. Think about it, Isn’t he the kind of person he hated the most at the time.../p>
/p>
Zilong on the other side has already eaten it. He hasn't eaten such a delicate and delicious dish for a long time, but Zilong's heart has been lingering in his words./p>
/p>
Especially the helplessness when Cao Jin shook his head, he achieved 18th place in the Central Plains literary test but became like this. Zilong was really unimaginable./p>
/p>
This Central Plains Competition is the largest grand event in the Central Plains, and it is also the most authoritative and fair competitive platform. At that time, the White Emperor will come in person and all the four emperors will arrive. All major forces, families and dynasties in the Central Plains will send people to the scene./p>
/p>
There are many types of scores in the Central Plains. In addition to martial arts and literary tests, there are also competitions such as alchemy, animal taming, smelting, and medical skills. However, the martial arts test is the most grand and most popular. The Central Plains Competition only allows young people under the age of twenty to participate. In the origin world of longevity, humans are considered adults at the age of twenty. This Central Plains Competition aims to select and encourage outstanding young people in the Central Plains, and rewards are generous. It is held every four years./p>
/p>
Once you make a name for yourself in the Central Plains Competition, you will definitely be surrounded by stars and have a bright future. Countless forces will throw out olive branches. The Central Plains Competition is very famous, and even other forces from the land will join in the fun and take away some seedlings with excellent cultivation talent./p>
/p>
For the major forces in the Central Plains, the performance of their younger generation in each competition will shake their status and influence to a certain extent. After all, young blood is extremely precious at all times. It is related to the rise and fall of a family, sect, and dynasty. Zilong only knows the glory of the Central Plains martial arts competition, but he never understands the dismal experience of the literary test. This is also the reason why Zilong was so surprised after hearing about Cao Jin's encounter./p>
/p>
There is naturally a reason why Zilong knows the Central Plains Competition so well. When he got into trouble, the Zhao family's original decision was to let Zilong disappear first, and finally appear in the Central Plains Competition and get a good ranking. The Central Plains Competition has the Baidi and the Four Emperors are in charge, so the other party dare not do anything randomly. If Zilong can get the favor of Baidi and others, it will not only be a great joy for Zilong himself, but also for the Zhao family./p>
/p>
But Zilong also knew clearly that it was not that simple. In each session, nearly one million young people would sign up for the martial arts test of the Central Plains Competition. It was full of people, and it would take several rounds of screening to obtain the qualification to compete in the final Baidi City. No matter how many people registered, only 3,000 people could get tickets to the Baidi City Competition. It was not easy to stand out from the millions. Even though I had experienced these three years of hard work, it would be difficult to make a difference in the Central Plains Competition./p>
/p>
Thinking of this, Zilong's appetite has decreased a lot. He is so annoyed. He goes far and away and has to get a good ranking in the Central Plains Competition in a year before he can return to the Zhao family smoothly. He goes closer and tomorrow is Yi Ao's birthday. The birthday gift he prepared was eaten up by the girl Cheng Fei'er. Thinking about it, I have no gifts that I can take out./p>
/p>
"Oh, how much sorrow can you have? It's like the carp in this plate is unable to swim!" Zilong saw the braised carp in front of him, which aroused melancholy and emotion./p>
/p>
"Brother's words are wrong. Don't you see, where are the carp leaping over the dragon gate now? I only see bad carp trays. Don't you see, Cangshan and Erhai Lake face the beautiful woman, and smile to save your eternal sorrow. Don't you see, the west wind in front of the flower stone tower is over, how dare you get drunk with me tonight?"/p>
/p>
A young man in white, gentle and tender skin, sat uninvited opposite Zilong, smiling./p>
/p>
"You are right. Only bad carp will lie in this plate and let others share it. Brother, I am so literary! Although I am not a beauty, I am willing to accompany me, lying on the sunset, and not returning without getting drunk!"/p>
/p>
"Come on, have a drink!"/p>
/p>
At this time, another waiter who was serving on the second floor hurriedly ran over, looked at the boy opposite Zilong, turned his head and asked respectfully to Zilong./p>
/p>
"Young Master, are you together?"/p>
/p>
Hearing the waiter's words, the young man in front of Zilong winked at Zilong and winked at Zilong./p>
/p>
