Not long after Tang Jiuyue's words fell, Shen Man saw that some people slowly came to this desolate field.

"What's going on?" Shen Man asked with his ears pricked up.

Tang Jiuyue had already gone down to the field, and her side face was illuminated by the setting sun like a wonderful character painting, "The people gathered in front of my uncle's carriage are some ordinary people, and only those who can find them here are considered real candidates, in fact, some of them have been here a few months ago." ”

"A few months earlier?" Shen Man also rolled up his trouser legs and followed Tang Jiuyue to the field, "Could it be that the topic of this astronomical gate has been out for a long time?" ”

"Hmm." Tang Jiuyue slowly walked towards the center of this ridge.

Shen Man pondered for a moment, "Since you want to find the best white radish in the world, why do you all come to this ridge instead of going to the vegetable market to find the old farmer to inquire, compared to others, the old farmer should be the one who knows the most about planting." ”

"The radishes grown by the old farmers in the vegetable market are really ordinary, do you think they can really pass through the eyes of the examiners of the Guò Astronomical Gate?" Tang Jiuyue looked at Shen Man, her eyes seemed to be inquiring, as if she was suspicious, "What others have planted can't compare to what you have cultivated with your own hands no matter what." ”

Shen Man watched those people all go down to the ground like Tang Jiuyue, thinking of what she had just said, and realized, "I see, the reason why you are gathered at the Meteorological Gate is because the best places in the capital are in the Meteorological Gate, and the planting technology in the whole world is also in the Meteorological Gate. You don't want to find the best white radish in the world, but you want to grow it yourself, so you all come here! ”

Tang Jiuyue bowed her head and said, "That's true." ”

Shen Man smiled, "Miss Tang, have you ever thought that maybe this topic is not as profound as you think, just because someone in Taige wants to eat delicious white radish?" ”

If Tang Jiuyue is in office at this moment, Shen Man can pat his chest and say that it must be because Tang Jiuyue wants to eat radish. But as the saying goes, what kind of master there is, what kind of apprentice, can teach a disciple like Tang Jiuyue, the gate supervisor Zou Yan who has strange test questions, must not be a strict character.

"Maybe as you say, the reason why we're so busy is simply because some people want to eat turnips." Tang Jiuyue bent down and fiddled with the leaves of one of the radishes, the leaves were originally a little embarrassed, but as soon as Tang Jiuyue touched it, it immediately became energetic and full of vitality.

She straightened up and patted the dirt off her hands, and said slowly to Shen Man, "But as long as he wants to eat turnips, we will make the best turnips." If you want to be more free in the future, the best thing is to become this turnip eater yourself, and in the future, there will definitely be a large number of people who will think of ways to send you radishes of various flavors and shapes. ”

Shen Man looked at her with mixed feelings in his heart. She had never seen Tang Jiuyue like this outside her dreams, she thought that she had never been a talented person with no desires and no desires. Whatever Tang Jiuyue wanted, it would naturally be sent to her. Therefore, Tang Jiuyue is the most unruly figure. But in front of her, what is faintly revealed between words is the pursuit and yearning for Taige.

Shen Man smiled again and pointed to Tang Jiuyue's radish and said, "I see that your radish is almost fine." ”

Tang Jiuyue glanced at her and said, "I built a shed on the side, let's go in and have a cup of tea." ”

"Okay."

Tang Jiuyue's so-called "shed" looks simple and unpretentious from the outside, but the interior layout is extremely extravagant. Outside, a few wooden stakes were erected on the ridge of the field, and a layer of bamboo was paved, which was flat and stable. When I entered, I found that not only was the floor covered with fluffy tiger skins, but also an ebony low table with delicate fruit bowls filled with seasonal fruits.

The two of them sat down separately, and Tang Jiuyue poured tea in silence. Shen Man looked around and noticed that a finger-thick rope was hanging from the corners of the four walls, and a bell was hanging from each of the ropes, so he asked, "What is this rope for?" ”

Tang Jiuyue put down the teapot, "You can pull it." ”

Shen Man stretched out his hand and pulled the string, and the bell rang softly, crisp and pleasant. Then, the bamboo curtains hanging around were rolled up with a bang, so the shed they were sitting in suddenly became a bamboo platform with wind on all sides, and the scenery of the fields on all sides could be seen.

Shen Man said happily, "What a wonderful design." ”

Tang Jiuyue didn't answer for a long time, and only said slowly after a long time, "Although it is quiet and peaceful now, and the scenery is pleasant, something will spoil the scenery in a while." ”

Shen Man looked at Tang Jiuyue in confusion, and Tang Jiuyue also looked at her, the expression on her face was so secretive that people couldn't see her love at the moment.

As he spoke, there was a faint sound of the piano from a distance, and the person who played the piano was extremely steady, and there was a faint ruthlessness. Shen Man had never heard such a strange piano sound, fast and slow, high and low. There are often people who are called talented men and talented women who play the long piano, and there is often a theme, through which the feelings of the time are expressed.

But the person who plays the piano seems to have an extremely dissolute temperament, and the sound of the piano does not have a quasi-score, and he can play it as he wants.

Tang Jiuyue saw that Shen Man leaned forward slightly, looking very interested, so she asked, "Do you know the rhythm of music?" ”

Shen Man shook his head and said, "I don't really understand, but I think this person is so powerful." ”

"Why?"

"I don't know why, I think she's amazing."

Tang Jiuyue then got up and said, "Then let's go and see this person who cares the qin." ”

The two of them followed the sound of the piano, and Shen Man and Tang Jiuyue walked side by side. The path was rough and muddy, and Shen Man could feel Tang Jiuyue peeking at him from time to time along the way. When I think of meeting her, she is also such a cold and cold look, but after getting along for a long time, you will find that she is a cold and warm person. Shen Man was not surprised by her vigilance at this time. When she peeked again, Shen Man simply turned his head and looked directly into her eyes, and when the other party was stunned at this moment, she grinned, and then continued to walk forward.

On the ridge in front of us sat a young girl with a carved piano on her lap. The girl was veiled, her long hair was tied with a headband, and she was not tall but graceful. At this moment, she was facing the two of them, and she continued to sit as if no one was around, facing a field, and there was no crop in the field, except for two radish leaves in the middle, which must be her treasure.

"Girl, what are you doing?" Shen Man didn't expect to meet her, and with a burst of joy in his heart, he walked over and asked her.

The girl raised her eyes, "Why are you again?" Her gaze moved from Shen Man's body to Tang Jiuyue on the side, and then suddenly stopped stroking the qin, picked up the qin and held it in her arms, got up and respectfully saluted Tang Jiuyue, and slowed down her tone and greeted, "Miss Tang." ”

Tang Jiuyue said, "Lime girl." ”

Lime continued, "Hello Miss Tang. ”

Tang Jiuyue replied, "Hello Lime girl." ”

"Miss Tang hasn't seen you for a long time."

"Well, long time no see."

"How's your turnip?"

"My radish is not bad," Tang Jiuyue's eyes rolled, "How is your radish?" ”

"I'm tired of Miss Tang's worry, my white radish should be good. I changed the tune every day these days, and it was said that listening to the music in the evening was the best time to relax, so I stroked the piano in the evening, but I was afraid that the thief radish in the field next to me was also secretly listening, so I could lower the tune. Speaking of this, she sighed deeply, "It's a pity that Miss Tang's radish field is a little farther away from here, otherwise your white radish can also hear my tune, and it will definitely grow better." ”

"Miss Lime bothered, my turnip should be a deaf person like me who doesn't know the rhythm, and I just want to sleep after listening to your piano."

"It doesn't matter," Lime said earnestly, touching her chin, "I've often heard people say that children need to sleep more to grow fat faster. ”

"That's a kid, not a turnip." Shen Man couldn't help but interject.

Lime said firmly, "It's the same with turnips, and my turnips are my children." ”

Shen Man was speechless.

Tang Jiuyue said, "We have to hand over the radish for evaluation, and maybe it will be chopped up to cook, do you want to chop your child and steam it or pickle it?" ”

Lime, "......"

Shen Man, "......"

Shen Man didn't want the topic to become too embarrassing, so he pointed to a field on the side and asked, "What is this person doing?" ”

Lime cleared his throat and hugged the piano, "He has a pen and paper in his hand, and some calculations are densely written on it, and he should be a candidate for arithmetic, and he is measuring the length, width, soil weight, and other messy things in the radish field. I don't think this guy really has any means, but it's much better than the one over there. ”

As she spoke, she pointed in a direction, where there was a middle-aged man with a bitter gourd face. Lime said, "This person has learned a craft called 'word measurement', which can blind some people on weekdays, but it won't be a problem when it comes to radish." ”

Shen Manran couldn't help but laugh and said, "Radish can't write, no matter how powerful his 'word measurement' is, it's in vain!" ”

"Do you see the other man with a scroll in his hand?"

"See," Shen Man replied, "he is holding an astrolabe in his hand, is he a candidate studying astronomy?" ”

"Yes," said Lime, "he came all day in the evening, and sat on the ground with his astrolabe and looked at the stars and the moon, and no one paid any attention to him, and he was talking to himself, and sometimes I really wanted to stun him with the harp, and it annoyed him." ”

Tang Jiuyue said, "He wants to use the astrological theory to measure the fate of the radish......

Lime said weakly, "The astrological phenomenon is unfathomable, it is the most powerful Taoist technique, it could have measured the fate of the country, but it turned out to be ......"

Shen Man heard a lot, and at first he felt strange, but in the end, a few white and fat white radishes kept popping up in his mind, jumping in circles and kept jumping there......

She tapped her head with a headache and whispered, "It seems that I really didn't want to see white radish again for a while......"
