A few days later, Shangguan Wan'er begged her father to allow her to go out to play, and her father relented and agreed. "Great, we can hang out again!" Shangguan Wan'er said happily.

On the street, although it is not as lively as that night, the cries of various vendors are endless, and the two who went out for the second time have a special flavor. "Miss, look, where is the candy blower?" Yaqin pointed excitedly ahead.

"Let's go, let's take a look." Shangguan Wan'er is also very interested in this candy man, when she is in the house, Uncle Wang, who is in charge of purchasing, will always bring back some strange things, this sugar man is one of them, this sugar man is not only beautiful, but also sweet and delicious.

The two came to the stall, watched the vendor take a little hot syrup with a spatula, rub it on the hand stained with talcum powder, and then use one end of the mouth to lather, after blowing foam, quickly put it in the wooden mold coated with talcum powder, blow hard, after a while, open the wooden mold, and the sugar man you want is blown. Then dip the reed pole with some syrup and stick it on the candy man, and a brown and yellow bird comes out, and then paints it, and a lifelike bird is placed on the wooden frame.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Shangguan Wan'er looked at the boss with adoring eyes. The boss smiled, "Miss wants to make one?" ”

"Is that okay?" Shangguan Wan'er asked excitedly. "Absolutely."

"I want to be a man." Shangguan Wan'er thought about Feng Gongzi that night, and wanted to make one of him and then eat him, hehe!

In the distance, the scholar who had no way to apprentice was wandering the street in despair, and when he saw Shangguan Wan'er excitedly making candy people and showing a childlike smile, the haze in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

The scholar was dissatisfied with watching from afar, walked to the stall, and looked at Shangguan Wan'er quietly. And Shangguan Wan'er didn't know that the genuine version of the candy man she was going to make was next to her. "Yaqin, do you think this looks like Feng Gongzi?" Shangguan Wan'er picked up what she had done and asked the maid who was also a sugar man.

"I don't think I'm that fat!" The scholar spoke up. "Really? Hehe, it's okay, I'm going to eat it later! Shangguan Wan'er said casually. So you want to eat me! The scholar said jokingly.

Shangguan Wan'er only reacted at this time, Yaqin's voice was not like this, who was talking to me just now? Shangguan Wan'er looked up, ah! Isn't this the scholar himself who wants to eat himself!

"Feng, Feng Gongzi" Shangguan Wan'er felt as if she had done something bad and had been caught, her face was flushed, and her voice was like a mosquito and a fly.

"Miss Shangguan, what a coincidence, we met again." Shangguan Wan'er looked at Feng Gongzi's sunny smile, and her heart rippled.

After Shangguan Wan'er paid the money to be a sugar man, she walked with Feng Gongzi, and the two talked happily, while the maid followed behind the two, holding the sugar man. Shangguan Wan'er felt that it was too rusty for Gongzi and girls to call each other like this, wouldn't it be closer to each other by name? "Feng Gongzi, I don't think you should call me Miss Shangguan, call me Wan'er, Miss Shangguan sounds weird."

"This, okay, Wan'er, Wan'er can call me Zhiyuan." Although the scholar felt that calling each other's names was a bit unharmonious, he felt that the relationship between the two would be closer when he thought of calling each other's names, so he agreed.

The three of them came to a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea and a few snacks. "Miss Wan'er is really beautiful!" Feng Gongzi praised.

"Where, just read a few books, Feng Gongzi has won the award." Shangguan Wan'er looked at Feng Gongzi shyly, but found that although Feng Gongzi was smiling on his face, there was a depression between his eyebrows, and Shangguan Wan'er asked aloud: "Feng Gongzi has encountered a difficult situation?" ”

The scholar thought about it, he didn't know anyone in this huge capital, and now he has no way to apprentice, and he has no one to talk about his troubles. Although Miss Shangguan is a woman, her knowledge and views coincide with her own. It is rare to have a confidant in life, and besides, the Shangguan girl is a woman, so she will not shy away from it.

"I'll tell you the truth, Xiaosheng has encountered some things recently. I'm not afraid of Shangguan girl's jokes, Zhiyuan's family is poor, and the old mother at home works hard day and night, so I can get together and let me go to Beijing to catch the exam. But he didn't know that the imperial examination needed to be recommended by incumbent officials to be eligible to participate, Zhiyuan heard that the classmates who came to the examination together said that apprenticeship requires apprenticeship, but helplessly, the family is poor, and there is no way to apprentice. Seeing that the time for the quadrennial report is coming to an end, this is not even qualified for the exam, how can I talk about returning to my hometown and honoring my ancestors! The scholar looked lonely and unwilling.

No wonder I got the Taohe inkstone that day, and Zhiyuan lost his soul! It turned out that he wanted to use this Taohe inkstone as a stepping stone to obtain a reference qualification! In a month is my father's birthday, I was going to use Taohe Yan as a birthday gift, but at present, it seems that Zhiyuan needs it more than me, and the gift has a month to find, but in another ten days, the name of the branch will be over, and without this Taohe Yanzhiyuan, you can't take the exam. "Zhiyuan, don't worry, Taohe Yan, you need it more than me, I'll bring it to you, you take him to apprentice!"

"Miss, isn't this Taohe inkstone going to be given to the master as a birthday gift?" When the maid heard that the young lady was going to give Taohe Yan to this poor scholar, she said dissatisfiedly.

"It's okay, my father's birthday is still a month, I can still find good gifts in this month's time, but Zhiyuan is different, there are still ten days before the imperial examination is over, without this Taohe Yan Zhiyuan can't worship the teacher, and he can't participate in the imperial examination." Shangguan Wan'er explained.

"Wan'er-" The scholar looked at Shangguan Wan'er with emotion, thinking to himself that such a beautiful woman, when he was named on the gold list, he must marry her and go home!

Since the Taohe inkstone was given to the scholar, the scholar worshiped under the door of the servant of the ministry. The relationship between the scholar and Wan'er became increasingly close, and there were often correspondence exchanges, and Wan'er pretended to be a man from time to time to meet with scholars. But I just couldn't contain the fire, and finally when I was boating on the lake, I was bumped into by my father, who happened to be doing something somewhere. The father disliked Feng Zhiyuan as a poor scholar and was not worthy of his daughter, so he locked Wan'er at home and prevented the two from seeing each other.

After inquiring, the scholar learned that Wan'er and her family were the first imperial merchants, so it was no wonder that they looked down on him. So he came to Shangguan Mansion and talked to Shangguan Xiong about the conditions, "Master Shangguan, Xiaosheng's own poor family is not worthy of Miss Shangguan, but Xiaosheng has already signed up for the imperial examination."

"Then wait until you come to high school and come and negotiate terms with me! Drop-off! Shangguan Xiong replied indifferently.

Shangguan Wan'er was anxious to watch behind the pillar, and she hadn't seen Zhiyuan for a long time. The scholar saw Wan'er behind the pillar and said, "Wan'er, wait for me, when I am in high school, it will be time to marry you!" ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Shangguan Wan'er said happily. Shangguan Xiong saw that the two were still inseparable, and said angrily: "Don't hurry up and drive that poor scholar out!" ”
