Volume 1 The Heart of a Young Man Chapter 37 First Sight
"Abbot, I see that there is a courtyard in the back street, I don't know why that courtyard is so ruined, even if the officials move out, the courtyard where they originally lived will not be destroyed like this." Li Xiao sat upright and asked.
This was what he was most puzzled about now, why the courtyard was so ruined, and what the scholar said and what happened sixteen years ago that the abbot mentioned. And the kind of intimacy he felt when he stood outside the door, as if he had lived there, but for sixteen years, as the righteous son of the Chu family, he had lived in Suzhou and had never entered this strange and familiar land. He was very curious, he wanted to know everything about things, about his life experience, the father of the Chu family never said that he had lived safely for sixteen years, and for the first time, his heart fluctuated.
"Naturally, there is some cause and effect in this, but Lao Wei is a monk, so it is inconvenient to reveal it like Gongzi. But if Childe wants to know a thing or two, he can go to Zuo Xiang. Pu Jing said with a smile, "You have a good relationship with that Chen Gongzi, I believe that Zuo Xiang will not hesitate to tell you." ”
Left phase? To be honest, Li Xiao doesn't want to have anything to do with this Xiangye. This big man in the court always makes him not very cold.
Now the situation in the court is quite obvious, the right phase is strong, and the left phase is weak. Although the left minister who was born in Zhuang Yuanlang is still the head of the civil officials on the surface, there are already many officials who have been put into the right minister's door in secret, on the other hand, the military general was born in the right minister, and in Nanhao, who founded the country with martial arts, he was deeply loved by the people in the military camp, and now there are many civilian officials who have joined, and his power has long been different from what it used to be. If it weren't for His Majesty's intention to weigh the two factions, I'm afraid that Haoguo would already have only one phase.
No matter how stupid Li Xiao is, he will not take such a big risk, and he doesn't know how to approach Zuo Xiang. Besides, he only stayed in Beijing for a few days, and it was a big mistake to make enemies rashly. What's more, he hasn't had any big fights with the Right Prime Minister's faction so far, so why bother to be unhappy.
Pu Jing saw what Li Xiao was thinking in his heart, knew what he was worried about, the worry in the corner of his eyes flashed, and said, "I don't know what Childe's plans are after this matter is over." ”
The thing Pu Jing was referring to was Li Xiao's treatment of the princess.
Li Xiao has no clue about this matter now, there has always been news that there is no princess in the palace, and he doesn't even know what the princess is in now, but no news is the best, at least he knows that the girl he has never met is not in danger of life, at least she is still alive. But it was always dragged like this, which made Li Xiao feel that he had been tricked into coming to Jingshi, and he didn't do anything, it was good to eat and drink for nothing, but after a long time, it seemed boring.
Moreover, as the center of power, Jingshi has always been full of undercurrents, and he doesn't want to bump into the son of a family when he has nothing to do on the street and get into trouble. I'm afraid that I'm not afraid, it's okay to be embarrassed, it will be very troublesome, after all, it's rare to be stunned like Cai Kun, and a little fooling can be over.
"I want to go back to Suzhou earlier, but the environment in Jingshi doesn't seem to be suitable for me." Li Xiao said with a wry smile: "It's just that I don't know what the princess's state is now, and the palace won't say anything, so I can prepare early." ”
As the night deepened, the sound of the gong striking in the distance came intermittently, and the birds that had stopped on the eaves fluttered and flew away.
Pu Jing subconsciously trembled her hands, wanting to get rid of the coolness of the night: "The prince is doing things for the royal family, treating His Majesty's most beloved daughter, presumably His Majesty will definitely reward him, and it is not difficult to ask His Majesty for a half-official position when the time comes, is it possible that Gongzi does not want to make a difference in Beijing?" ”
"It's just that if you do what a doctor should do, how can you ask for an official position, and the corpse is vegetarian." Li Xiao said with a smile: "Besides, it's just a cure, and it's just a position in the Tai Hospital to get an official position." Let Li Xiao study pharmacology with those old-timers who have lived for most of his life, it is better to send me to the Ma Zheng Yuan to be a Bi Ma Wen. ”
Li Xiao didn't think that he could get anything by curing the princess's illness, and that nonsense His Majesty would not entrust himself with a heavy responsibility because of this, and he was not interested in the so-called reward, so he would go back safely as soon as possible.
Pu Jing didn't understand what kind of official position Bi Ma Wen was in Li Xiao's mouth, and he had never heard of this official position in Haoguo, and he didn't say that in the official positions of Ma Zhengyuan, he just thought he was messing around casually.
"Childe said with a smile, with Gongzi's literary talent, how can Your Majesty be willing to let you be buried in the Tai Hospital, let alone throw you to raise horses. will definitely be entrusted with a heavy task to let the son show his skills. Pu Jing said with a smile, some gray beards swaying from side to side in the wind.
"Wencai?"
Looking at Li Xiao's puzzled expression, thinking that maybe this Li Gongzi, who could write that word, didn't know that he was already famous in Beijing, smiled, and explained: "Lao Wei listened to the pilgrims who came to Suzhou for two days, and they said that a talented man came to Suzhou and wrote an amazing poem, and I heard that even His Majesty praised that word. Presumably, this Suzhou genius should be Li Gongzi, who just arrived in Beijing a few days ago. ”
This surprised Li Xiao, the information in this era is so underdeveloped, and today he can still be famous in just two days. I really didn't think that it would be very disgraceful to become famous by relying on Mr. Dongpo's words and plagiarizing the poems of my ancestors to become famous, but I have to say that it is very cool.
"I heard the pilgrims mention that tomorrow is the poetry meeting of His Royal Highness the king, but this poetry meeting is different from usual, the king is no longer in Beijing, and the poetry meeting is fully handed over to the Wenyuan Poetry Society, the first in the poetry circle of Beijing, and with the poetry talent of the son, he must have been invited early." Pu Jing continued: "The old man is here to congratulate the son in advance. ”
Tomorrow in the bamboo forest Xiaozhu poetry meeting Li Xiao really wants to go, come to this world for so long, has not really touched the world's poetry meeting, I used to see this kind of plot in the novel, at that time it was quite refreshing, but I didn't have that heart to participate in this poetry meeting this time, just to join in the fun and see the national treasure of another world.
The fame that Pu Jing said is not so tempting for him, he yearns for the kind of countryside and wild cranes, but he doesn't want to stand outside his home in the future are those talents from all walks of life who come to admire, and there is no day of leisure. In the future, listening to small songs and flirting with little girls is the life that should be.
Squeezing the eyes that showed sleepiness, Li Xiao yawned and said: "The abbot is making fun of Li Xiao again, Li Xiao is just a gentleman of a businessman's family, how can he have that ability, besides, Li Xiaozhi wants to be an idle cloud and wild crane, if I make a poet, wouldn't it be a ridicule of the world's talents." ”
The bells in the front yard gradually faded away, and the murmurs of the masters slowly faded away, only the candlelight burning in the courtyard remained.
Pu Jing stood up, couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, and the tone of his voice remained unchanged: "Childe looks tired, Lao Wei won't bother Gongzi, tonight is a good rest, if you miss tomorrow's poetry meeting, Lao Ke will be too guilty." ”
With that, he bowed to Li Xiao, turned around and walked towards the front yard. Li Xiao also got up, and waited respectfully for Pu Jing to disappear from vision, then stretched his waist, walked leisurely, and walked back to the small courtyard where he temporarily lived.
……
When I returned to the hospital, I thought that the little girl had fallen asleep, and was ready to sneak into my room softly, so as not to disturb Chu Chu's sweet dream. Who knew that when I walked into the courtyard, I found that the little girl was standing at the stone table, her face was panicked, and there was nowhere to put her little hands, until she saw the appearance of her young master, and the expression on her face eased a lot.
Looking at it again, there was a young girl sitting on the stone table, a dress embroidered with gold threads, the ornaments on the tips of her hair shining in the moonlight with a luster called "luxury", but the fat on her face was very light.
Before Li Xiao could walk over, Chu Chu ran over and said, "Young master, she fell asleep on the table when Chu Chu first came back, and she seemed to be a young lady from a rich and noble family, Chu Chu was embarrassed to disturb, so let her stay here." ”
Li Xiao touched the little girl's head and said, "It's okay." Then he walked over to the girl. When the girl saw the strange young master walking towards her, she was obviously very nervous, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
Getting closer, Li Xiao could see the girl's face very clearly, under the moonlight, it was very white, or rather, it was very white, and it was not that sickly white, but a kind of natural holiness. The girl's eyes were beautiful and clean, there was not a trace of filth in the eyes, and the translucent eyes seemed to shine. There are no worldly troubles in her eyes, no ugliness in people's hearts, and no unbearable feelings. Looking at those eyes, Li Xiao seemed to be able to see his heart. Like a mirror lake without waves, it is clear and sparkling.
Although she is not the most beautiful woman Li Xiao has ever seen, these eyes make Li Xiao feel that this life is unforgettable.
"Who are you?" Couldn't help it, Li Xiao asked.
The girl in front of her didn't answer, she looked at the young man in front of her timidly, she was very good-looking, better than any man he had ever seen, and the oil cake in her hand slowly stopped moving.
The sound of the front yard disappeared completely, only the sound of clear footsteps was ready to go, and the heavy footsteps stepped on the stone pavement, which was very solemn. All the cacophony of voices had almost disappeared, except for a few faint shouts that had crept in.
The girl seemed to have heard something, her face was shocked, she hurriedly got up and put down the oil cake in her hand, scrubbed her hands in the water tank in the courtyard in a panic, and then took the hand towel handed by Li Xiao, thanked Li Xiao with a puzzled expression, and left the yard apologetically with three small steps. Only the master and servant looked at the girl's back and the remaining oil cake on the table for some reason.
"Childe, who is that young lady?" The little girl asked blankly.
Li Xiao shook his head, he hadn't known a few people in the past few days since he came to Jingshi, and he was also confused about the girl just now. But today is the Queen Mother's incense, no accident for the people who come and go, it should be the old Queen Mother who is incense in the front yard, although it is impossible for him to ask the Queen Mother why, but think about it, it should be nothing other than those palace maids and the ladies of the family who accompanied them. And the great Jingshi, not to mention whether it is a palace maid or not, just those young ladies of the family, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find her.
He and the girl were just in a hurry, although they were attracted by her eyes, Li Xiao had not seen the children in the mountains in the world, and the estrangement between the world and the world had always existed, and he did have some love at first sight for the girl, but it was a little difficult to accept that he and the "NPC" were a little difficult to accept. Don't think about it so much, let everything take its course.
Let the little girl clean up the miserable situation on the stone table a little, and then go back to the house.

Liu Quanxin's "Apocalyptic NPC"
This book is definitely one of the few eschatological texts I have read, and I will never recommend a bad book.
This book vividly describes the gloom and horror of the end times, and the portrayal of human nature is also very good......
When the end comes, what is terrible is not zombies and death, but from human nature......
This book is sometimes exciting, sometimes creepy, and it is a rare good book!
Lovers of eschatological literature, a must-read book!
