Verse 126: Rampant thieves

After arranging the affairs of the craftsman's workshop, the next day was the day of Zheng Xuan's feast.

Guan Yan got up early in the morning, put on a silver-patterned robe on a black background, and the bun on his head was circled around with a black belt at will, falling on the back quilt, with Guan Yan's handsome face, and his heroic posture also looked quite coquettish.

Looking at the hour, it was almost over, Guan Yan walked to the door and said to Steward Liu: "Old Liu, bring the 'Absolute Shadow' here." ”

Since returning to Luoyang, Guan Yan generally can't ride the Absolute Shadow, just like he said to Cao Cao last time: The 'Absolute Shadow' Divine Horse can only gallop on the field, how can the author do it on behalf of others?

But this time the situation is different, listening to the opera Zhicai, this sutra feast is an annual event, and the number of characters in Luoyang City will basically appear in the sutra feast. For such an important matter, it is natural to take out the absolute shadow to show it.

Guan Yan turned over and got on the horse, straightened his clothes, turned back to Xi Zhicai and Chen Deng and said, "Let's go back first, I'll go first." ”

After that, Guan Yan slapped his horse and left.

In Luoyang City, there are four main streets, which are named after the four divine beasts of east, west, north and south.

Qinglong Street in the east is mostly a gathering place for merchants and hawkers, so it is very lively, but even if there is some property in the family, the people who live here are just low-status merchants.

To the west is Baihu Street, which is inhabited by literati and scholars, who pretend to be high-minded, but most of them are poor, so that this Baihu Street is deserted and lifeless. Today's sutra feast was held at the scripture hall on Baihu Street.

The Suzaku Street in the south can be said to be the most luxurious place in Luoyang City, and the people who live in this place are all members of the imperial court and nobles. Bi He Jin, Huangfu Song, Cai Yong and others all live near Zhuque Street in the south of Luoyang City.

Xuanwu Street to the north is completely a dark corner of Luoyang City. Except for a few decent restaurants and restaurants on both sides of the main street, the rest of the place is dilapidated. The north of the city is basically a place for some wanderers and poor people, so it leads to the loneliness of Xuanwu Street.

The place where Guan Yan lives is also in the south of the city, but it is not on both sides of the main street, after all, the owner of this house was originally just a new little nobleman, and he could not afford to buy a house on Suzaku Street.

Guan Yan walked north along the letter horse on Suzaku Street, and just two steps out, he met an old acquaintance again: Cao Cao!

The two met at the same time and couldn't help but smile at each other. Guan Yan clenched his fists and said, "Mengde, you are also going to the feast?" ”

Cao Cao nodded: "It seems that the two of us can go together again today!" ”

Guan Yan laughed: "Go together, go together!" ”

The two of them rode on their horses and talked leisurely as they walked.

But after a while, Cao Cao regretted it. First of all, Cao Cao has a short figure and dark skin, and he can't compare with Guan Yan, who is extremely coquettish now! And the "Absolute Shadow" given to Guan Yan is a treasure horse purchased by Cao Cao in the Western Regions with a lot of money, which is half a head taller than ordinary horses.

The current situation is that they can't compare people or horses, and the two of them walk on the street, like a rich boy with a little guy out to play.

Although Cao Cao's face was not good-looking, his dark skin helped Cao Cao hide the embarrassment on his face. In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them came to Baihu Street.

"Mengde!" Guan Yan spoke: "Do you know where this scripture hall is?" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help but puff up in his chest: You also have this time!

Cao Cao patted his horse a few steps forward: "Hehe, come with me!" ”

Cao Cao led the way in front of Guan Yan with his head held high, and after walking about a hundred steps, Cao Cao suddenly turned over and dismounted, and bowed to a memorial arch in front of him.

Guan Yan asked confusedly, "What is Meng De doing?" ”

Cao Cao frowned: "Wende, come down!" Cao Cao pointed to the words on the archway and said: "This is the first emperor's personal inscription 'Jingxue Museum', after this archway, the civil official gets off the sedan chair, and the military attache gets off the horse!" Even if the Holy Majesty comes here today, he must bow respectfully, this place ......"

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, he saw Guan Yan squinting at the archway and said, "There are words?" I can't see it clearly! Saying that, Guan Yan kicked the horse's belly lightly with both feet, and took a few steps forward, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, there are really three words 'Jingxue Hall'!" ”

Guan Yan turned his head and whispered to Cao Cao and said with a wicked smile: "Meng De, this emperor's words are ugly enough!" ”

Cao Cao, who was stunned, suddenly looked like ashes, rushed forward a few steps forward and pulled the reins of the Absolute Shadow and said, "Don't come down quickly, don't gossip!" ”

Guan Yan was just to make fun of Cao Cao, but he didn't really want to do it. Guan Yan pointed at Cao Cao and laughed evilly, and then wanted to turn over and dismount, but at this moment, several people flashed out behind the doorpost of the archway, and the first one said loudly: "Rampant thief!" ”
