At lunch time, the four of them went to Lover's Lake together.
Shanshui and Cheng Jinyan were driving, while Mingzhu and Cheng Yue were sitting in the car.
The weather was very good today and the two of them were tired from shopping, so they opened the car curtains so that the four of them could talk more conveniently.
Lover's Lake is just outside the city. It is a beautiful place and a place often visited by students from Yunzhou.
As for talented men and beautiful women, these talented men feel that they will be inspired and able to write good poems in such a beautiful place.
The exams have just ended these days, so many candidates from the counties around the provincial capital like to come here to play.
As a result, the inns and restaurants around Lover's Lake are full every day.
Mingzhu seemed to be particularly familiar with the provincial capital. She gave Shanshui directions directly and asked Shanshui to drive to Shiweixuan.
Shiweixuan is a relatively famous restaurant in Yunzhou Prefecture. Unlike other restaurants, Shiweixuan gives people a very elegant feeling.
"I think I saw a few classmates!"
The carriage stopped, and Cheng Jinyan looked in one direction and said in confusion.
Cheng Yue followed Cheng Jinyan's gaze and saw that there were indeed a few people dressed as scholars, escorting two girls to the restaurant next door.
Those scholars looked to be around thirty years old, but they were classmates with Cheng Jinyan and none of them had passed the examination to become a scholar.
Taoyuan Academy is divided into two levels, elementary and advanced.
According to the academic title of "xiucai", those who passed the exam were in the advanced class, and those who failed were in the elementary class.
Then these two levels are further divided into four classes according to their academic performance: Tian, Di, Xuan and Huang. Generally, the Tian and Di classes are those who have a hope of passing the exam, while the Xuan and Huang classes are basically for those who learn to read and write.
Classes are not divided according to age, if you have talent you can enter a good class.
"Cheng Jinyan, those two girls are the most famous girls in Yunzhou City's Flower Alley! I didn't expect you to know such people!"
Mingzhu glanced at Cheng Jinyan with disdain, then went into Shiweixuan.
"No, I didn't. Mingzhu, wait for me, I might have seen it wrong. They are not my classmates!"
Cheng Jinyan quickly caught up and wanted to explain to Mingzhu.
Cheng Yue and Shanshui looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
If Mingzhu wants to be angry, she can find an excuse for anything.
She is the kind of person who is extremely moody and unreasonable. Moreover, this girl is not like this to others, but only to Cheng Jinyan, which makes Cheng Yue not know what to say to her.
The waiter had already come out from Shiweixuan to lead the horses for the two men.
Mingzhu said that she treated everyone to this meal, firstly to thank Cheng Yue for the rouge she gave her, as a courtesy, and secondly because she was in a good mood and wanted to spend some money.
Since she said so, Cheng Yue and Shanshui would not fight over paying.
In Cheng Yue's heart, Mingzhu is a friend, and between friends, no one needs to be polite to each other. Anyway, Mingzhu is really not polite at all to their Cheng family.
"Sir, sir, wait a minute!"
As Cheng Yue and Shanshui stepped into Shiweixuan, they heard someone calling behind them.
They both thought that this was not someone calling them, so they went inside without stopping.
Instead, the waiter who led them in was standing at the door, waiting there with a more respectful look.
"Sir, please wait a moment!"
A person who looked like a little maid quickly stood in front of Cheng Yue and Shanshui.
"Miss Xu!"
The waiter enthusiastically addressed Cheng Yue and the people behind Shanshui.
