Compared to the snowflakes falling slowly around you, the warm tones of light from the glass windows above the concert hall are more attractive under the warm lights in front of you.

As she walked up the long steps of the concert hall, the beautiful girl who had been waiting on both sides for a long time quickly became infected like water stains from wetting the bed.

Several women in beautiful clothes stood in front of Lishui Wanyue and quickly scrambled to sell themselves.

"Childe, do you want a dance partner? I'm dancing well! ”

"I do ballroom dancing very well, and I will definitely not let you lose face!"

"It's too cold outside, can Childe be kind and take me in to keep warm?"

"I know this place very well, after I go in, I can talk to you with my son, and I can also introduce the rest of the female companions to you!"

In the face of these women's messy self-recommendation, Lishui Wanyue smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we'll look inside, don't get in the way, let's go cool!" ”

Lishui Wanyue was in a very good mood, and he got a bonus called confidence from Wang Lanling, and he was full of spirit at this time.

Even if he is not high-spirited, he will not look for these people to lower his worth.

The girls didn't dare to say much, probably because there were guards with rifles on the steps on both sides, and some masked agents dressed in black were watching here.

It's okay to sell yourself, but you can't influence others, and you can't lower the level of this official school like a prostitute in the market.

While these girls in beautiful clothes waited for the next one with reluctant smiles, Lishui Wanyue took Lishui Yingzhuo and Wang Lanling and continued to walk up the steps.

Wang Lanling said curiously: "There are hundreds of official students this year, the number of girls is not very large, after entering, it can't all be men dancing together, why don't you let these girls in?" ”

Lishui Wanyue smiled and said: "You don't understand this, men will basically leave after graduation, and they will almost leave school, but women are different, many will stay here for several years, so there are more and more." ”

Lishui Yingzhuo smiled and said, "Little official, are you married?" For example, those of us who are basically married before we come in, have children, and even if we are not married, we have a marriage contract, but women are different, and those who are married will not come here. ”

The tradition of starting a family is a basic cognition in various places, especially for some young and promising people, most of the marriages are involuntary and are set early.

Wang Lanling belongs to the victim of this tradition, even if his parents didn't care about him, Xiao Wang's marriage was indeed involuntary, and he agreed semivoluntarily.

The rest of those who have parents are even more troublesome, and they are basically involuntarily.

After thinking of the difference between men and women, Wang Lanling said curiously: "Then what should I do after I go in?" If you're married, you don't have to dance? ”

Lishui Wanyo explained: "It's a dance party, and you can listen to songs, eat, and watch performances inside, but the most important thing is to know people, and things like dancing are not necessary." ”

Wang Lanling felt that this person's words were not truthful, "Brother Wan Yue won't dance?" ”

Of course, Lishui Wanyue can dance, and said: "After this goes in, it's all up to your ability, the girls are willing to dance with you, which is naturally a face, but don't be angry if you are rejected, the girls here have the right to refuse others." ”

Wang Lanling felt that this girl was referring to the female born to officials, that is, those who were scrivener and some official ladies who reserved jobs for women.

The number of official students is quite small, mainly because the officials of the empire do not have the rights of the Jiang family, so even if they are the daughters of the county commander's family, they can have the qualifications of a civil servant and ask God to worship Buddha.

Female officials can also rely on recommendations, while female officials are basically girls with names and surnames and futures.

These people basically have a future set by their parents' families, unless they can find a higher one, otherwise they can't get rid of their original destination.

Wang Lanling knew very well what his level was, and said directly: "There are officials and girls in there, right?" If not, I'll find one for myself outside, I just saw a blonde girl in a cotton dress and a cotton hat, which is quite pleasing to the eye. ”

How can an official give birth to a girl, how can he afford to be a married kid in a poor country?

Lord Xiao Wang has always been self-aware, and he doesn't like to get along with those superior people very much.

Lishui Wanyue said with a smile: "The little officials are modest, you don't look at the rest of the officials, except for those people in the mountains and wilderness and barbarians, and the rest of the people are not articulate, unhygienic, crooked melons and cracked dates, in fact, there are not many people left." ”

Lishui Wanyue looked around, and after making sure that the others were far away, he said in a low voice with a smile: "The girl is also sitting, and she can come to this ball, what do you think in your heart, can you still guess?" ”

After being asked by Lishui Wan to say this, Wang Lanling continued to follow them up the steps.

Soon the three of them arrived in front of a large building, and there were not many people standing under the hall supported by tall white columns.

There were not only guards standing at the door, but also several young men and women chatting.

After Lishui Wanyue saw it, he quickly lowered his voice and said, "It's Lord Zhidai and Jiang Feihu, the attitude is better!" ”

Soon, Lishui Wanyue walked over quickly to greet the people over there, bowed and smiled, while Wang Lanling was a few steps behind the two Lishui brothers, and stood quietly aside when they got closer.

Jiang Feihu saw Wang Lanling, and he knew what Wang Lanling looked like.

The county lord of Zhidai next to him didn't know Wang Lanling's appearance, but he saw that Wang Lanling was young and dressed cleanly.

The county lord of Zhidai looked at Wang Lanling and said gently: "Is this also a talented man from Lanzhou?" Such a young student, is the Dragon Ball son of Dragon Ball County? ”

Because of the relationship between Lishui Wanyue, the lord of Zhidai thinks that this is a young talent from Shanzhou, Longzhu North.

Before Wang Lanling could speak, he heard Jiang Feihu, who had developed limbs, say with a smile: "Haha! You have no eyes here, this person is not a dragon ball, it is Wang Lanling of Heishui County, Yunzhou, you must have heard of his reputation, you don't even know him, be careful that he scolds you. ”

Cao Nima! Wang Lanling scolded this person surnamed Jiang in his heart!

"In Wang Lanling, a freshman at the Lower Official Academy, I have seen two seniors." Wang Lanling clasped his hands into fists and made a formulaic salute.

After being surprised, Lord Zhidai smiled, "It's the first time I've been called a senior, I've always heard that you are unruly, but I didn't expect you to be easy to get along with, I didn't expect you to come over to participate in this ball, so I can't guess your name, don't blame." ”

Wang Lanling said politely: "The right thing is the right thing, the private thing is the private matter, how I am an official has nothing to do with whether I will come over to find a woman to dance, from the private life to speculate on my approach to the right thing, this is not the right thing, even a righteous gentleman has the joy of the boudoir." ”

Jiang Feihu laughed, "What a wonderful person!" ”

The county lord of Zhidai has no ill feelings towards Wang Lanling, she is not from Yunzhou......

The second reason is that Wang Lanling is young and talented, and he can be valued by the emperor, and the rest of the people will basically look at him squarely.

"I thought that Wang Gongzi would not participate in these things, so he was not invited, since he was willing to come over to participate in Jiang Feihu's ball, then I held a poetry meeting another day, and also invited Wang Gongzi to come over to ask for advice, many of my friends are very fond of the poem that Wang Gongzi made in autumn."

Wang Lanling is simply numb in the scalp, he has no extra poems to plagiarize!

Now I have a headache when I hear about writing poems, and Wang Lanling really regrets writing that poem when he was welcoming his relatives.

"The county lord is in love, and I have made that poem in more than ten years, and my literary talent is not as good as many people's, but I was in a happy event at that time, and my body and mind were intoxicated at that time, so I was able to write that poem, and the real level was not as good as everyone in the school, so I didn't offer ugliness."

Wang Lanling had to refuse, he really didn't want to go, and he had to refuse the invitation of the rest of the people to the poetry club.

The county lord of Zhidai showed a look of pity, but he also accepted Wang Lanling's statement. 、

Jiang Feihu didn't have anything to say to Wang Lanling, and it was not too early to see the time at this time, and he had to receive the rest of the people, so he let several people in.

Lord Zhidai seems to be waiting for someone, anyway, it is not Wang Lanling who is waiting, and Wang Lanling doesn't care who she is waiting for.

The three of them soon entered the warm concert hall, which was a bright space, with four burning fireplaces on the walls on the left and right sides of the hall, and two sofas near the fireplaces, and many people sitting or standing in one place chatting.

There are also some food and alcohol on the tables around them, but they are all cold food and fruit, and there is basically no hot soup or anything like that, probably because I am afraid of getting dirty.

On the stage in front of you, there was a group of singers performing a dance, which was an elegant dance with graceful postures, but the people below basically didn't pay attention to it.

There was enough distance between the stoves, and rows of pretty girls were sitting and waiting.

There were also some boys sitting there chatting with the girls, but Wang Lanling still saw a few men who were alone in the corner and were silent.

In general, they are all young people, the oldest is no more than thirty, and the future of the empire is still very young.

Lishui Wanyo saw a woman laughing with boys, quickly turned sideways and said to the two: "You should also be careful, it is not enough for some women to have a lot of male slaves at home, and they will find someone here, try not to have anything to do with a few women over there, otherwise I won't be able to save you." ”

Wang Lanling quickly looked away, and at the same time pretended to be going to eat, and quietly left the two people.

Lishui Yingzhuo didn't believe it, and asked suspiciously: "No, right?" ”

Wang Lanling quietly distanced himself from these two people, anyway, he had already come in, and he didn't need to continue to be with these two people.

Lishui Wanyue didn't realize Xiao Wang's consciousness, and when he saw that his cousin didn't believe his words, he quickly explained.

"What am I lying to you for? Don't look at those women who are gentle and beautiful, but they are not rude at all, they like to invite some young men to their rooms, and then let them do nothing but do things in bed, not even go out, feed tonic medicine every day, and it won't be long before people are wasted! It's more torturous than going to jail! ”

Lishui Yingzhuo said with a smile: "It's okay, I have a lot of money!" ”

Lord Xiao Wang has already gone into hiding, he is a person who can listen to persuasion, especially in matters related to his own body.

A few people over there seem to be the kind of huntress with a prominent fortune, and boys have to protect themselves when they go out!

Women can also play, especially when they have powerful privileges, although these women will be well-behaved in front of a very small number of men, in front of young talents like Wang Lanling, who have no foundation, this is really a scourge!

Wang Lanling looked around, and soon found a motionless girl sitting on the chair on the periphery.

is a girl wearing a tight trench coat, a white turtleneck sweater inside the trench coat, and a very aristocratic cloud sideburns hairstyle, which shows that she is not a nobleman.

Wang Lanling walked over with a wine glass, and said with a smile as he passed by her: "Hello, a person is a little bored, can we talk?" ”

There is a nameplate the size of chewing gum on the chest of the woman's clothes, [Pen, Lichun Rain].

Yushui saw that someone wanted to talk to him, and he was a very good-looking young man, although he was smaller than himself, but it was better than the previous crooked melon and cracked dates.

Yushui nodded quickly and said nervously, "Hello, please take a seat." ”

Wang Lanling came here at first just because of this girl's appearance and figure, but after seeing the name, he asked: "This surname is very rare, and it is the first time I have seen the surname Lichun." ”

Lichun Yushui was not so nervous because he was next to a person younger than her, and said with a smile at this time: "You are not from Tongzhou, right?" Certainly not from a few states near Longzhou. ”

Wang Lanling nodded, "That's true, I don't know much." ”

Yushui quickly explained: "Lichun and Yushui are both surnames, and they are twenty-four families with surnames according to the twenty-four solar terms, and the twenty-four families were originally orphans in the military camp, and later followed the first emperor to make meritorious contributions and became meritorious nobles. ”

"In the past, the twenty-four families were basically concentrated in a few states in the central region, and they would intermarry with each other, but many families were declining for various reasons like the rest of the meritorious nobles."

"Now the north of the autumn, the west of the winter, the light snow has fallen, the Lichun family is mainly in Tongzhou side of the farming, my father is the county agricultural official, my mother's rain family has no official position, so I was named Yushui."

"I am my sister in my family, and there are many younger brothers and sisters, many of whom are not particularly familiar, I have been here for three years, and now I am helping to copy books and newspapers, and I have no interest at all, everything I do is assigned by others, and I am not free at all."

"My family is in the county town, and many people have gone back to be female officials, and it will take me two or three years when it's my turn, I don't want to go back."

Miss Yushui is a very talkative girl, maybe she has been depressed for a long time, and she quickly talked about it by Wang Lanling's side.

Wang Lanling is more interested in this, his father-in-law's family also belongs to the orphan family, and the relationship with the Jiang family has gradually become problematic.

The biggest problem is that Lord Jiang is in the county government, and the original rules and resources must be redistributed, unless Lao Zhao is willing to give up most of the benefits, otherwise it will be irreconcilable.

This kind of problem is widespread, and Wang Lanling feels that he also needs to know more about the cases and have more references.

While sitting and chatting with the beautiful girl, Wang Lanling saw that Lishui Yingzhuo, who watched the huntress from time to time, was called to the sofa fireplace where the huntress gathered, and sat among several women to warm up.

This kid is probably useless......
