Chapter 161: Scholar

Banxia and Xi'er walked to a high place, looked at the lights of the thousands of homes below, and thought that if the prefect's wife arrived at Daling Mountain, maybe the scenery she saw would be very different from what Banxia saw, so she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
"Girl, you're smiling again. ”
Xi'er spoke up in the back, looking at Banxia's relaxed expression, she gradually eliminated her nervousness, "No wonder girls always like to run outside, it turns out that the girls outside are happier than the girls in the house." ”
Banxia couldn't help laughing, turned around and smiled: "I'm not happy because I'm out of the house, but I see all the things in the world, and I will always reduce my troubles a little, so when I'm in a good mood, I'm naturally happy." ”
"Is that so?" Xi'er asked, frowned and thought about it, and immediately nodded approvingly: "That's true, the world is full of variety, and if you see more, you can know that there will always be someone who is worse than yourself, so in comparison, you will relax and see through, and there will definitely not be too much vanity." ”
Banxia looked at Xi'er in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you, a little girl, to be able to say such a big truth." ”
Xi'er smiled shyly and said: "The slave maid is just telling the truth, the slave maid's family is not a rich family, she has experienced a lot, and she has heard and seen more than ordinary people, so naturally she thinks more than ordinary people." ”
"You said it well, in life, you have really seen a lot, and your thoughts and thoughts are different. Banxia turned to look at the lights of ten thousand homes and sighed: "Everyone is here to practice, whether they live once or twice, but the circumstances are different, and the results are not much different." ”
It's all about dust to dust, and there must be a result in the end.
It's just that if you close your eyes, your life will come to an end, and there's really nothing strange about it.
Xi'er looked at Banxia's melancholy appearance and couldn't help but interrupt: "Did the girl think of her family, so she showed a nostalgic look?"
"Did I show a look of nostalgia?" Banxia touched his face and asked curiously, "Do you think the expression on my face is nostalgia?"
It's really unexpected, how can she still miss the past.
"Yes, the girl should be homesick and miss her relatives. Xi'er didn't know how to explain it, in short, she just didn't want to see Banxia's confused expression.
"Maybe. ”
Banxia said softly, and then stopped talking.
After seeing the night and walking around the street, Banxia took Xi'er to the teahouse, wanting to wait for the rabbit to try his luck.
Xi'er didn't think much about it, she thought that Banxia was thirsty, so she came to the teahouse to sit down, she didn't know that Banxia had other thoughts in her heart.
Banxia did have other ideas that she hadn't told Xi'er.
She thought that if she could meet the old man or worry-free, let them take her to see the prefect's wife, and when she found the prefect's wife, if it was determined that the prefect's mansion was dangerous, then she would leave with the prefect's wife, and don't go back, presumably with the old man and worry-free's ability, she would definitely be able to ensure that Banxia could escape with the prefect's wife.
Banxia was speechless when she thought about it, as if the people she knew were all mysterious and secretive, and there were people with stories on them, if these people were the reason why she crossed here, she also needed to cherish them and treat them with heart.
There are a lot of people drinking tea and talking in the teahouse, and the people sitting in the lobby are generally men, and a few coquettish voices come from the private room upstairs from time to time, indicating that most of the private rooms upstairs are women.
Banxia and Xi'er, two women dressed as men, sat in the lobby drinking tea and chatting, talking about their own day, but they heard a lot of other people's conversations in their ears.
"Have you heard? The eldest princess has returned to the palace and wants to compete with the emperor for the throne!"
"Who did you listen to, how did I not know?"
"It's also the news that just came out, the eldest princess returned to the palace, first pardoned several guilty ministers, and also took out an edict, saying that the emperor was a usurper of the throne, and it was not orthodox at all, so the eldest princess asked the emperor to abdicate!"
"How is it possible! It is impossible for such a big thing to spread so far!"
"I didn't believe it at first, but now everyone is spreading that the eldest prince is going to compete with the emperor for the throne!"
"Who, then, has the better chance of winning?"
"Of course it's the emperor, the emperor has already sat on the throne, even if it's not orthodox, after all, it's a veritable emperor, as long as she is killed and doesn't admit it, what can the eldest princess do with the emperor?"
"I think the eldest princess is also very powerful, she can be the master and pardon the important ministers of the court as soon as she returns to Beijing, which means that she must also have chips in her hand, otherwise how can she act impulsively?"
"But the eldest princess is a woman after all, and a woman succeeds to the throne, can she do it?"
"Why can't it be done? It's not that our dynasty has never had a female emperor, and the great achievements are no less than those of Taizu, and only by succeeding to the throne can a woman succeed to the throne benefit the world!"
"You are talking nonsense, how can the eldest princess be compared with the first empress, whether it is knowledge or strategy, the empress threw out the eldest princess!"
"But compared to the emperor, the eldest princess is already a little better......"
"Yes, yes, the emperor didn't believe it when he was a prince, and now that he is the emperor, it's even worse!"
"I support the eldest princess!"
"I also support the eldest princess!"
"We all support the eldest princess!"
……
Banxia and Xi'er sat on the side, listening to the discussion of a few scholar-like people, and they didn't know what expression to show on their faces.
And those scholars have no scruples at all, although they still lower some voices, but they dare to talk about the royal family in public, and dare to talk about the person who is high in public, it shows that they are not afraid.
Banxia didn't know when it was so open in ancient times, and it was still possible to talk about the government so arbitrarily.
Although time and space are out of order, she is definitely not in ancient Chinese history, but there is no need to be so bold, it is very likely that she will be killed, do they know?
Banxia couldn't help but quietly glanced back at the group of scholars, they were really a group of nerds, dressed plainly, but they all thought carefully about their words, and they had more than a little opinion of the world and the imperial court, and they didn't say a word or two about the bold and wild words.
Banxia felt that he couldn't sit still, only to see the shopkeeper hurrying over, whispering something at the table, and the scholars gave the shopkeeper face and didn't talk about royal affairs.
Banxia couldn't help but pat his chest and sweat for those scholars.
She thought that the shopkeeper would kick the scholars out, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper to be fat, so she just warned a few words, and didn't meddle in any more things.
And the inaction of the shopkeeper is likely to be a sin.
Sometimes, there are some things, isn't that what is the case? If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, not to mention criticizing the royal family and the government, no matter what is not allowed in that era.
Xi'er looked at Banxia's face was not good, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, are we going back to the house now?"
