Chapter 1: The Eight Years of Zhenguan

Next Chapter

It's night.

The bright moon hangs high above Chang'an City, and the waves in the Mipi Lake are sparkling. Although it was a hot summer, the breeze on the lake was cool.

Next to the small pier on the island in the middle of the lake, Zong Xiu was wearing a blue linen robe and carrying a small gray burden, staring blankly at the reflection in the water.

Reflected in the lake is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, not handsome, but quite attractive.

And yet - it wasn't his familiar face!

Zong Xiu stared at the reflection in the water and shook himself with a big mouth.

"It's a dream! I must be dreaming! ”

His name is Zong Xiu, and he came from the afterlife.

And the memory of the owner of the body reminds him all the time - it is now the eighth year of the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan.

A big mouth went down, Zong Xiu sucked in pain, and the reflection in the water was still there.

Zong Xiu looked at the sparkling Mipi Lake and turned his heart sideways: "In "Inception", Leonardo said that after falling into a deep dream, you can wake up from a huge explosion, a fall from a high altitude, and deep stimulation. Damn, let it go! ”

Zong Xiu, who had made up his mind, took a few steps back, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and ran towards the lake.

'Puff'

A huge splash of water splashed.

The sound of more than 100 catties of meat smashing into the water was extremely loud, especially in the silent night, and it spread farther.

The sound of falling into the water alarmed the Wupeng boat wandering on the lake not far away, and a woman's curious voice came from inside the boat: "Uncle Zhao, what's going on outside?" ”

The middle-aged man with a bamboo pole in his hand at the bow of the boat glanced at the place where Zong Xiu fell into the water, and said nonchalantly: "Someone can't think of it and dives." ”

In fact, he had noticed Zong Xiu a long time ago, thinking that he was an assassin, and he was also secretly guarding against it, but he didn't expect it to be a young man looking for death.

The woman said hurriedly: "That's not to save people quickly." ”

"Yes."

The middle-aged man who was holding the boat threw a bamboo pole into the water, and the boat galloped away.

When he arrived at the place where Zong Xiu fell into the water, the middle-aged man was about to pick up the bamboo pole to save people, and when he saw the young man who had just dived into the water and the king Ba was like swimming Zhenghuan, he was instantly vigilant.

"Uncle Zhao, why don't you save people?" The woman saw through the curtain that the boatman was not moving, and opened her mouth to urge.

Zong Xiu, who was paddling, heard a woman's voice and hurriedly shouted: "Don't save, don't save, I'm just too hot, it's cool to go into the water." ”

In fact, when the boat came, Zong Xiu saw it. He was bent on dying, hoping to end this nightmare.

However, his swimming skills are too good, as long as a person who knows how to swim is not tied with his hands and feet, even if he takes the initiative to dive to seek death, the desire to survive will make him swim naturally.

Now that he has not succeeded, he is still regarded as looking for a short-term view, and Zong Xiu is very embarrassed.

"Cool?"

The woman in the cabin was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then laughed out loud.

Just as the breeze blows, the curtain hanging from the cabin rolls up, revealing a delicate face.

The woman looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a long lilac dress, half-leaning in the cabin. There is also a delicate small square table next to it, on which there are three or four dishes of exquisite side dishes, a small white jade-shaped bottle, revealing the aroma of wine.

Zong Xiu, who was paddling, glanced at it and subconsciously said: "There is no such beauty in the world, it is not a demon or a fox." ”

"Bold! Dare to be disrespectful to my young lady! ”

The boatman raised the bamboo pole in his hand and was about to fight.

The woman giggled: "Uncle Zhao don't do it." At first glance, it sounds like scolding me, but it is complimenting me for my beauty. ”

The woman got up and walked to the bow of the boat, pursed her lips and smiled: "Didn't you ask the son's name?" ”

Zong Xiu stretched his arms, patted the water rhythmically, kicked his legs up and down in the water, floated on the water by treading water, learned the way the ancients spoke, and responded: "Don't dare to be, in Xia Zongxiu, a person from Wuwei County, who has just come to Chang'an, please forgive me if I don't understand the rules." ”

"Zong Xiu? You are Zongxiu from Wuwei County? The boatman stared at Zong Xiu as if he was curious.

The woman said curiously: "Uncle Zhao, have you heard of him?" ”

The boatman said: "I've heard it, it is said that last year, a small group of Qiang thieves invaded Wuwei County, burned, killed and looted. The Zong family was a local squire, and they were wiped out. He resisted with a sword, killing six thieves and twenty-seven swords......"

"Shhh...... Twenty-seven knives can still live, which is really a blessing. The woman's mouth opened slightly, her face shocked.

The boatman continued: "It's not because the last government soldiers arrived and saved him, otherwise this kid would have died a long time ago. It is said that he has been recuperating for half a year and missed the spring exam. However, this guy is also a blessing in disguise, Wuwei County is too guarded to remember that he is known for his talent, and he has a meritorious role in killing the enemy, so he is specially recommended to serve as an assistant teacher in Guozijian. ”

After speaking, the boatman stared at Zong Xiu and asked, "You don't report to Guozijian, why did you do such an insulting act here?"

Zong Xiu: "......"

The woman also looked at Zong Xiu curiously, and she also knew where the Guozijian was.

Although the arithmetic assistant is not a big official, he is also a [from the ninth grade] and has an official rank. It stands to reason that officials must be cautious in their words and deeds when they are outside, and it is really unreasonable to jump into the lake and play in the water at the beginning of this night.

Zong Xiu was tired of treading water, swam to the bow of the boat and pulled the plank, panting for breath: "I just arrived in Chang'an today, and I haven't reported to Guozijian yet." ”

The boatman said, "This is not a reason for you to insult Sven!" ”

Zong Xiu was unhappy, and said, "Why is there an insult to Sven?" The gentleman is frank and spontaneous. What's wrong with me going for a swim on a hot day? ”

The woman took a sip and said, "What a sharp mouth, it's really good at making strong words." ”

Zong Xiu laughed.

The woman asked, "Let me ask you, did you hear those two words from your own heart, or did you hear them from someone else?" ”

"Which two?" Zong Xiu asked.

The boatman said: "Naturally, the two sentences that are disrespectful to my young lady." ”

Zong Xiu rolled her eyes: "No culture is no culture, your young lady can hear that she is praising her beautiful, why are you disrespectful?" ”

"You!" The bamboo pole in the boatman's hand is raised again.

Zong Xiu hurriedly shouted: "I saw that the girl was beautiful, and I came from the heart. ”

Well, he lied.

'There is no such beauty in the world, neither a demon nor a fox' is obviously Pu Songling's words. But Zongxiu can't control it, now Pu Songling's eighteenth generation ancestors have not been born, who knows if he is a copyist?

The woman's face was happy, and then the corners of her mouth outlined a smile, and she said with a sly face: "Hehe, although your two sentences praise me for being beautiful, you use the fairy fox as a metaphor, which is really disrespectful." ”

"......" Zong Xiu said speechlessly: "What do you want?" ”

The woman said, "Unless you compose a poem now, let me believe that you are really talented." If not, you will be punished for the sin of disrespect. ”

The boatman tightened the bamboo pole in his hand, staring at him as if he was ready to fight at any time.

The woman smiled and said: "Gongzi Zong, you can be recommended by the Taishou of Wuwei County to teach in Guozijian, you must have a little knowledge, and it should be difficult for you to compose a poem." ”

Can't help it?

You're going to kill me!

Zong Xiu's face was embarrassed, he now believed in the fact that he had crossed over, and he had read a lot of online novels in his previous life, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to be a copyist.

But the boatman's bamboo pole is already ready to move, and if he can't make a poem, I'm afraid he will really be beaten.

Zong Xiu soaked in the icy lake water, sweating profusely, and accidentally saw the small square table in the cabin, the jade bottles, jade bowls, and bursts of wine on it, which instantly took care of him.

"Haha, if the girl wants to listen to poetry, it couldn't be easier. It's just that I don't listen to this poem in vain. ”

The boatman said angrily: "What, you dare to bargain with my young lady." ”

Zong Xiu pointed to the cabin and said, "I've been soaking in the water for most of the day, can the girl enjoy a drink, let me warm my body, and I can recite poetry for you." ”

"Bold!" The boatman was furious, Zong Xiu didn't know the identity of the woman, he knew it very well.

Miss's cup, is it used casually?

The woman waved her hand absently: "Uncle Zhao, give him a glass of wine." ”

The young lady had spoken, and the boatman reluctantly went into the cabin, but after a while, he came out with a glass of wine.

"Here you go!" The boatman suppressed his anger and handed the wine glass to Jong-so.

The jadeite carved wine glass is warm and delicate, and the pale yellow wine is not as pure as the liquor of later generations, but it has a strange fragrance.

After Zong Xiu took the wine glass and drank it all, he learned from the ancients in the TV series and smashed the glass boldly.

The jade cup floated on the surface of the lake, swirling and sinking into the lake.

The woman cried out in distress, "Oh, my favorite cup." ”

The boatman raised the bamboo pole again, and before the bamboo pole was lowered, Zong Xiu had already chanted loudly: "Lanling wine tulips, jade bowl with amber light." But so that the master can be drunk, and he does not know where it is! ”

At the end of the poem, Zong Xiu pulled the plank, his eyes closed, and looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, as if he was intoxicated.

Well, he's waiting for applause.

However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement, Zong Xiu quietly opened his eyes, and saw that the boatman and the girl were all cold, looking at him with vigilance and questioning.

What's the situation? Could it be that someone came one step ahead of me and created Shixian's "Traveling in the Guest"?

Zong Xiu asked tentatively: "I, I'm qualified." ”

"Good thief, you're hiding deep enough!" The boatman gritted his teeth and looked at Zong Xiu.

The woman stopped the boatman who was about to beat Zong Xiu, and said with a cold face: "Uncle Zhao, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, go back first." ”

"Yes, miss."

The bamboo pole in the boatman's hand was stabbed and picked, and Zong Xiu, who was resting on the boat board, was picked up and fell back into the water.

The boat broke through the lake and swung towards the shore.

Zong Xiu fluttered in the water and shouted, "Hey, even if you have to leave, help me take it to the shore." In the middle of the night, there is no boat. ”

"Hehe, aren't you too hot to swim in? Then swim back on your own, just cool and cool. The boatman sneered.

"Then tell me what your name is. Girl......"

"Don't you already know?" The woman's voice came from afar, indifferent and sarcastic: "If you really have the ability to see me again, remember to return my cup." ”

"I know a ghost." Zong Xiu swam to the shore angrily: "I've never seen such a stingy person." If you turn your face, you turn your face, and you look amazing. ”
