Four hundred and four, the land of fireworks
readx;
Now is the year of Dabi, and there are countless people from all over the country who come to the capital to catch the exam, and this small teahouse is just a moment of effort. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is already overcrowded, and the figures are all scholars.
Under the leisure and elegance of these people, they are all talking about the way of Confucius and Mencius, and some are still selling their knowledge. Didn't it also attract a loud shout of applause, presumably someone who made a couplet and made a poem.
And now only Bai Yu's table is not that scene, here Song Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, presumably very helpless.
Bai Yu also knew that it was a little inappropriate for him to ask these questions, so he smiled and said, "Okay, now I don't think it's too early, why don't we order some wine and food here first to fill our stomachs?" ”
Song Ming must have been extremely hungry, and said with a smile: "It's so good, I'm also empty now." ”
first called Xiao Er and asked Xiao Er to prepare some wine and food, and then he and Bai Yu began to drink and chat.
Although Bai Yu is from the real world, in terms of profound knowledge, Bai Yu is still much stronger than Song Ming, after all, it is still useful to study for several lifetimes.
After such a meal, Song Ming was directly amazed, as if he had seen a celestial being.
"Brother Bai is really knowledgeable, Song is ashamed of himself, it is really an eye-opener for Xiaosheng. I'm afraid that this year's champion is at the fingertips of Brother Bai. At this time, Song Mingdu had already stood up and admired again and again.
Bai Yu waved his hand and said, "Where are the words." In fact, learning the way of Confucius and Mencius is just to increase knowledge, expand one's mind, and let oneself know more. This fame is secondary. Don't worry about it at all. ”
Hearing Bai Yu say this, this Song Ming was a little disapproving, shook his head and said, "How can Brother Bai speak like this?" Aren't we scholars just to gain fame and glory to prove what we have learned all our lives? ”
Bai Yu secretly laughed, in fact, he had no way to participate in this imperial examination now, after all, he hadn't even taken the township and county exams.
In other words, he is not a real reader in this world now.
Bai Yu naturally wouldn't think about taking the test for fame in this capital. The main purpose of his coming here is to catch demons, and looking at the demonic aura in the sky, he knows that there must be demons around here. In order to prevent the people here from being harmed by demons, he can only stay here now.
"Okay, good, regard fame as dung, this son is really a true gentleman."
At this moment, who knew that a person suddenly stood up next to him. This person hugged his fist and saluted Bai Yu, and his face was full of admiration.
Bai Yu hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "There, there, this son is really ridiculous." ”
The title of gentleman is not something that everyone can get, and it is too rare to say it in the mouth of a scholar.
"Under Liu Liang, dare to ask Gongzi's surname Gao?"
This person must also be a person who likes to make friends like Song Ming, and he stood in front of Bai Yu's table. asked with a slight smile.
Bai Yu hurriedly introduced himself, and by the way, he also introduced Song Ming on the side, and invited Liu Liang to sit down.
After Liu Liang sat down. is also elegant in conversation, and his temperament is also everyone's son.
"Xiaosheng is from Jiangnan, and he is also a small literary name there, I don't know who the two brothers are?" Liu Liang asked about the hometown of the two, and judging by their words, he must also be a person who likes to show off.
Bai Yu and the others immediately made introductions, but what Bai Yu said was his real hometown. As for the name of the article or something, he didn't say anything.
Even if they say it, of course these two will believe it. Bai Yu's various words were not revealed at noon, he was actually a person who was rich and rich.
With Liu Liang's joining, the two of them were a little lively again, because Liu Liang liked to show off, so after Bai Yu and the two answered, they took out their bottom without leaking.
It turned out that this man's father was still a prefect, but he did not experience many hardships in learning poetry and books, and he still had a carriage when he came.
It's also funny, it turns out that this person doesn't want to study and test for fame, for him, doing business is his greatest wish. But the parents at home are very opposed, after all, although businessmen can make money, but in terms of social status, they are still not as good as those who are famous scholars.
So in desperation, he was kicked out of the house by his parents.
In this way, he was not depressed, and he didn't think too much about the exam when he came to the capital, but just took care of himself and made friends everywhere. Stayed in the inn opposite the door.
He came here entirely to know that there are many scholars here, and he wants to come here to find a few confidants.
The three of them chatted for a while, and when they came back to their senses, it was already evening, and Liu Liang said at this time: "Two brothers, I don't know if you two have a place to live?" If not, how about I find a place for the two brothers? ”
Song Ming hesitated a little and said, "This ...... It's really not good, so let's find it ourselves. ”
"What's that? Although we don't want to see each other for a day, but we have the intention of seeing each other late, and it is really Liu's great luck to meet two confidants and friends today. It's just a place to stay for the two of you, so why should you refuse? Doesn't this look down on the little brother? ”
Liu Liang was very displeased, and his face turned pale.
Seeing that Liu Liang said this step of the field, Bai Yu and the others naturally couldn't shirk anymore, so they accepted it a little embarrassed.
Liu Liang is the son of an official eunuch, and he still has a lot of money, and it is too small for him to bear the accommodation of the two.
He arranged Bai Yu and the two of them directly with him to an inn, and it was also two upper rooms, and the furnishings in the house were all of the highest quality. It was very comfortable to stay here.
In the evening, Liu Liang called Bai Yu and the others up, and said with a smile: "The two brothers, who came to the capital, are under great pressure because they have meritorious service exams. Why don't I take you to a good place tonight? ”
"Good place?" Bai Yu was curious and looked at him suspiciously.
Liu Liang laughed and said: "It's a man's paradise, and one night* is beautiful." ”
Bai Yu suddenly realized, and immediately knew what kind of place it was, which made him shake his head secretly. I didn't expect this Liu Liang to like to visit brothels.
"No, no."
Who knew that Song Ming was very frightened, he waved his hand again and again: "We are all scholars, and we have a meritorious reputation, if someone finds out, I am afraid that our reputation will not be guaranteed!" ”
"Eh, Brother Song is serious, as long as a man doesn't go to Flower Street and Willow Lane to take a stroll, how can he be a real man? Listen to Xiaosheng's opinion and go with me. ”
Liu Liang shook his head again and again, as if he had heard a very funny joke, and laughed.
"It's ......." He still disagreed, and said to Bai Yu: "Brother Bai, tell me, should we stay?" ”
Bai Yu smiled lightly and said, "Brother Liu, we understand your kindness, but the identity of our wait is really inconvenient, I think it's better to forget it today." After all, this time is too sensitive. ”
Liu Liang saw that the two of them disagreed, and he felt bored, but he didn't want to give up, and finally rolled his eyes, and said: "Since this is the case, then the younger brother will no longer force it, but it is better to do this, the streets of this capital are bustling, how about we sleep here later tonight and take a stroll?" ”
Song Ming felt that as long as he didn't go to a brothel, it would be a good suggestion to go anywhere, so he hurriedly agreed: "So good, so good." ”
Bai Yu naturally could see that Liu Liang's drunkard did not mean to drink, and he must have not completely given up in his heart, bringing Bai Yu and the two good young men into the ditch. Nominally, they were going to the streets, and maybe they would be taken to the brothel.
However, Bai Yu didn't care about these at all, after all, he also wanted to be able to investigate well. And even if he goes to the brothel, who can keep Bai Yu if he wants to come back?
So he immediately nodded in agreement.
Then the three of them left the inn and came to the street, where it was already full of people. There are a lot of people on this street, at least they are readers. They were in groups of three or five, strolling around together.
It's just that they didn't pay attention to it at all, and the danger had been around them for a long time.
In fact, the reason why Bai Yu changed into a scholar is because in the world of Liaozhai, there is a law that most of the people who meet fairies and monsters are scholars. It's as if you're a scholar.,It's an extraordinary charm.,It's a thing that attracts the attention of youkai.。
I spent a lot of time walking around the streets, and I didn't buy anything, just looked around.
After a while, they arrived in front of a large mansion.
This big house is very large, but I don't know who it is, and there is a faint sound of the piano coming from it. It's like a natural sound, and it can attract people's attention in an instant.
But unlike the others, Bai Yu's pupils immediately shrank after seeing this big mansion.
Because he discovered a strange thing, there was a deep demonic aura clearly filled with this green building, and it rushed straight to the sky. Ordinary people can't see it, but it can immediately attract Bai Yu.
Bai Yu Yile, he didn't expect that in such a place, it would still be a goblin's lair!
But depending on the situation, this goblin must not be weak, and he has to be careful.
So Bai Yu silently recited the magic in his heart, hiding his cultivation, and making himself just a weak scholar in front of others.
He wanted to probe the details of these goblins first, and then think about how to get rid of them.
At this time, Liu Liang laughed and said: "This is a good place, let's go in and have a look now, you will definitely not regret it." (To be continued)
