Chapter 45: Advice from Down-and-Out Candidates
Xu Yunzheng was full of sadness, lowered his head and got up to enter the store, but collided with Yang Fei, who was angrily throwing his sleeves and leaving, at the door.
"Brother Wentai!" Yang Feiqi's expression was quite annoyed, and he scolded and mocked angrily, "Everyone has their own life, don't think that a sparrow can really become a phoenix!" Wouldn't all the beggars in the world be able to turn the sky upside down?! ”
After that, ignoring Xu Yun's response, he walked away angrily.
"Some people like to look at people with dog eyes, so why should you bother with them?"
Han Yu raised his hand to beckon Xu Yun to sit aside, poured him full of wine, and said with a smile, "I heard that I am only eight buckets tall and full of strategy, so I don't admire it very much." I specially invite the champion to enjoy the face, and I don't see it. ”
Xu Yun immediately laughed at himself and said, "I'm not a champion, let alone a Badou, I'm just a poor beggar who has fallen behind!" ”
Han Yu was slightly stunned in surprise, and turned to Li Ping, "Go and order some more wine and food, I want to drink with this gentleman!" ”
Li Ping quietly arched his hand and immediately put it down, and had to order him to go, but this scene was seen by Xu Yun very clearly.
After a while, the wine and food were delivered, and Li Ping stood behind Han Yu.
"I just heard that Mr. won the top prize in high school, but he fell into the first place because of the name of the first emperor, I don't know what Mr. plans to do next?" Han Yu saw that although Xu Yun was down, he had the arrogance of a bone literati, and couldn't help but be full of curiosity about him.
"The ancients were cloudy, the dynasty was Tian Shelang, and the twilight was the Tianzi Hall; There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant. Speaking of this, Xu Yun suddenly lowered his head sadly and said, "Fang has an eventful day today, and it is a good time for heroes to take up the case and make contributions." But I was coaxed out of the examination room by the examiner, and I was penniless in this capital, so I could only take a few sour tunes to compete with the indecent fighting celebrities and celebrities, and eat together...... What kind of style is this? It's also annoyed to think about it, so worthy of the admiration of the lord? ”
Han Yu didn't expect his words to make him so remorseful, and he immediately felt a little uneasy, but he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only ask, "Although the autumn exam has come to an end, the spring exam in a few months is ready to start." Why don't you adjust your emotions and just wait for the next year to regroup? ”
Xu Yun glanced at Han Yu, but he was twenty-four or five years old, although he was dressed in light cyan clothes, he was heroic and domineering between his eyebrows, and his demeanor was down-to-earth and generous, not like ordinary people.
But seeing that Han Yu didn't seem to have any malicious intent, he picked up the wine bowl and sighed, "My lord doesn't know, once he commits a holy secret, I'm afraid I won't have any chance in the coming year!" ”
Han Yu smiled and said, "Who set the rules for this?" You have no intention of committing a holy offense, since you boast that you have the talent to stabilize the country and secure the country, how can you not give it a chance to serve the country? ”
Xu Yun lowered his head and was a little ashamed, and said with a red face, "Don't dare to deceive adults, of course, but when it is so, they are all dignitaries with heads and faces, and you can stuff some copper coins in the second year." I don't have the skills, and I don't bother to do that! ”
Han Yu said with a smile, "Mr. can be the top student in high school, he must have university knowledge, why not go to a certain dignitary in this Beijing to seek a way out?" ”
After hearing this, Xu Yun laughed on his back, and then said, "The eldest husband should be bright and honest when he takes fame, he can only take it directly, how can he ask for it in the song?!" With my seven-foot body, An Neng bent his waist to the powerful? ”
"Uh......" Han Yu smiled thoughtfully, and then asked again, "Even if it ...... So poor that you died of cold and starvation? ”
"Yes!" Xu Yun's eyes were like torches, and he raised his head and toasted a glass of wine, and drank it all.
"Your ambition ......" Han Yu chuckled and picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and said, "Honesty is a model for my generation of scholars!" I just heard that Mr. is not only able to write, but he seems to be able to martial arts? ”
"Like the overlord of Chu in the past, I can't carry the mountains and rivers to cover the world!" Xu Yun said, "However, I have also been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I also know a little bit about Qimen Dunjia, troop formation, astronomical geography, etc. ”
"Sir is a little too arrogant when he says that, isn't it?!" Han Yu's face suddenly turned a little gloomy, and when he heard his tone so loud, he couldn't help but smile slightly teasingly, "Although I don't know the topic of this autumn exam, I also understand a little bit after listening to what Mr. said." ”
"Understood?" Xu Yun immediately burst out laughing when he heard this.
"Why is the gentleman laughing?" Han Yu was curious, "Today, the Great Xu Guoxiong is in the Central Plains, but Mr. is so arrogant, isn't it wrong to write the article?" ”
"Why do you feel that the Great Xu Kingdom is shaking in all directions?" Xu Yun raised his neck and took another sip of wine into his stomach, and suddenly his cheeks were so drunk that his cheeks turned red.
When Han Yu heard this, he was immediately interested, took a bite of wine and food, and immediately turned his face to look at Li Ping, and said as if he was smiling, "How do you feel when you hear what Mr. Xu said?" ”
Li Ping replied with a smile, "Rotten and arrogant, why should adults worry about it?" ”
"Do you hear me?" Han Yu smiled teasingly at Xu Yun, "My slave has some knowledge than you!" ”
Xu Yun raised his eyes and looked at Li Ping, who was on the back of the tiger, and looked at Han Yu carefully, but then turned sideways and asked Gu Yuexi, who was practicing words silently, said respectfully, "Dare to ask Miss Fangling." ”
Gu Yuexi was constantly practicing Han Yu's name stroke by stroke, and was startled by Xu Yun's sudden question, looking at Xu Yun blankly, and immediately looked at Han Yu in confusion as if asking for help.
"He's asking how old you are this year......" Li Ping saw Gu Yuexi's predicament, sighed and explained.
"Oh......" Gu Yuexi suddenly realized, hurriedly grabbed the brush and replied, "The little girl is eighteen this year!" ”
"That's it......" Xu Yun nodded thoughtfully, but looked at Han Yu again meaningfully, suddenly got up slowly, bowed down respectfully, and asked, "Dare to ask your lordship, who is your name?" ”
Han Yu listened, bowed his head and thought about it for a while, and was just about to report Zhou Ning's name, but was suddenly interjected by Gu Yuexi, "His name is Han Li, and he is a gentleman who repairs books in the palace!" ”
"Surname Han?!"
When Xu Yun heard this, he suddenly spread down like an electric shock, and after sitting down, his eyebrows furrowed rapidly, and he couldn't stop thinking back and forth.
"What?!" Han Yu saw that the wood was already in the boat, and knew that the dignified champion must have guessed something, but he was still pretending to be calm and asked with a smile, "Mr. also looks down on me, an eight-rank petty official?!" ”
"Definitely!" Xu Yun retorted, "In that case, can the villain say something to the adults alone?" ”
Hearing this, Han Yu already knew a thing or two in his heart, and immediately ordered Li Ping to take Gu Yuexi upstairs to rest.
"Sir, have something to say?" Han Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.
Xu Yun immediately looked around and saw a few sporadic merchants in the inn, drinking to avoid the wind and snow.
Quietly got up, bent down and made a gesture in the sleeve of the torn jacket, and whispered, "There are many people here, and I dare to ask the adults to move outside the house." ”
Han Yu pursed his mouth, nodded after a little thought, and then Xu Yun bent down and led him outside the house.
At the end of the unitary hour, the sky was dark, and the wind and snow were much lighter, but the biting wind still made Han Yu freeze a lot.
Xu Yun under the eaves also broke his jacket, leaning against the wall to face the wind and snow, his face was as calm as water, but he didn't see him cowering and chilling.
"Sir is so mysterious, should he have good words to tell?" Han Yu sneezed, then turned his face and asked.
Xu Yun wrapped his hands in his torn jacket, bowed up and said, "Dare to ask my lord, is that woman a family member of an adult?" ”
Unexpectedly, Xu Yun called him out of the house, but it was for this reason, Han Yu immediately thought about it, and finally said, "Yes or no, is it that important?" ”
"Yes!" Xu Yun immediately poked out his frozen purple hands, and instantly knelt in the snow with a fist, "Today, it seems that it is not possible for villains not to bend their waists for the powerful!" ”
"You ......" Han Yu's voice suddenly trembled with excitement, "Why is this!" ”
Facing the wind, Xu Yun bowed his head and plunged into the thick snow, and replied with eyes like torches, "If this woman is really an adult's family, then the adult's life may not be guaranteed!" ”
Hearing this, Han Yu exhaled deeply, looked at the snow-covered street in front of him, and said to himself with a faint gaze, "Xu Wentai, Xu Wentai!" I was almost deceived by you......"
After saying that, he turned around, his eyes were folded with murderous intent, and he shouted in a loud voice, "You are really bold!" keeps claiming that he is not afraid of the powerful and bending his waist, not only insulting the students of the autumn entrance examination, but also daring to deliberately deceive me, so painstakingly doing despicable tricks, is to ask for the official! ”
"Ho~" Xu Yun raised his head and laughed wildly at the wind.
"What are you laughing at!"
"I laugh at the general, and I despise a down-and-out candidate so much!" Xu Yun immediately got up and faced the blowing wind, with a disdainful mockery in his eyes.
"Oh?!" Han Yu didn't expect this person to be so arrogant, so he only asked mockingly, "Then tell me, when did you know my identity?!" ”
When Xu Yun heard this, he smiled without humility or arrogance, "In this Great Xu Country, how many people dare to be surnamed Han?!" ”
Han Yu immediately became interested, and asked with a smile, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Xu Yun glanced at Han Yu and explained fearlessly, "The first emperor Xu Wude relied on the Pingliang Thirteen Cavalry to start his family, and in ten years, he defeated the invincible 'Beifu Black Cavalry' of North Korea Guo Rang, occupied eight counties and forty-two cities in the north of the Central Plains, and was able to establish the country as Xu. Then, in order to flaunt his great achievements, he took Guo Rang's country name 'Han' as his national surname, and only gave his godson one person. Later, in accordance with the last orders of the first emperor, this son was appointed as the general of the southern camp of Xu Guo! Let's ask like this, who would dare to call themselves the surname of the country in this Great Xu Kingdom?! ”
"That's it?" Han Yu asked with a cold smile, but he knew that Xu Yun knew how he could recognize his identity just because of this.
"General Mingjian, naturally it's more than that! And because of the house slave with the tiger's back on his back, I secretly observed him for a long time, quite a bit of a military camp...... In the end, he had no intention of seeing that girl, and kept writing the names of Han Yu and Han Xiaozhi on the paper repeatedly...... Only then did he dare to determine the identity of the general! ”
Han Yu took a deep breath with Shuofeng on his back, and took advantage of the dim lantern swaying in the wind under the eaves to look at the down-and-out candidate in front of him again, Xu Yun.
After standing for a long time, he suddenly asked, "Why did you say that I was worried about my life?" ”
Xu Yun immediately made another salute and said, "When the villain took the exam before, I heard about His Majesty sneaking out of the palace. Today, I happened to see the general appear in Beijing, so I dared to guess ......" Speaking of this, Xu Yun bent down again, and said with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant, "Dare to ask the general, have you been edicted?" ”
"Hehe......"
Han Yu couldn't stop smiling bitterly on his back at the moment, after he had to meet Zhou Ning's guidance halfway, Fang Zhi was ordered to enter Beijing, and he wanted to plan it. But he never wanted to be seen through by a six-grade high-ranking fan, but now he is seen through by a down-and-out candidate.
Immediately a little crying and laughing, then sighed, and said, "What does this have to do with that girl?" ”
Xu Yun smiled and said, "The villain dared to guess that the person who pretended to pass on the edict wanted to win over the adult!" ”
"What if I don't!" When Han Yu heard this, he immediately blurted out a rhetorical question.
Xu Yun put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and thought thoughtfully for a long time before he replied, "If the general doesn't allow it, at most he will tear his face, and then go out of the city and return to the camp......" Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, and then changed his words, and said, "But that is the situation where the adults enter Beijing alone!" ”
"I heard that you have a talent for Zhang Zifang, I want to ask you, what is the difference this time?" Han Yu wrapped his clothes tightly, and the chill that appeared between his eyebrows pierced Xu Yun a little stunned.
He looked at Han Yu's face, and saw that his face was calm and calm, and he was suddenly stunned, thought about his words, and finally said, "I'm afraid that adults won't allow marriage, if you don't leave some ties...... That magnate won't magnify the return of people......"
Hearing this, Han Yu suddenly showed a meaningful look, patted Xu Yun lightly on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that I can't interfere with the selection of officials in the imperial court." But I sincerely hope that in the spring of next year, my husband can go to high school again! ”
Seeing Han Yu stepping into the house, Xu Yun suddenly arched his hand and said, "Dare to ask your lord, but in fact, you already know everything, but you can do this in order to plan for the sake of planning, and there are other plans?" ”
After hearing this, Han Yu turned around, smiled brightly and happily, and replied softly, "Sometimes, you can't be too smart!" Otherwise, it won't end well......"
After that, he spread out his hands and tilted his head, looking innocent.
