Lu Cheng looked at her a little weak-hearted, but forcibly calm, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, as early as the first time he saw Zhang Zijun, he was a little suspicious, but he was not sure at the time.

Today's Lu Cheng is no longer the scholar of Mu Ne. Zhang Zijun's behavior is abnormal today, and his face is wrong when he mentions the matter of drinking flower wine, how can he hide it?

This Zhang Jun is clearly a big girl!

Perhaps, even the name is fake.

But it didn't matter, she had helped herself, and it was enough for herself to consider her a friend.

Lu Cheng didn't plan to break her, since people wanted to hide it from themselves, they didn't see it, and it was not difficult to pretend to be stupid.

In Lu Cheng's subconscious, a man should send a woman home, not that the other party needs his own protection. In fact, the person who needs to be protected is a weak scholar himself.

The two walked on the street, chatting with each other, and it didn't take long to reach the door of the martial arts hall.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, today's Lu Cheng put on a life robe, and the whole person looks like a gentle and elegant taste, although he is a little bookish, but he will not give people a stereotypical feeling at all. Between the low eyebrows and a shallow smile, it naturally reveals a free and indifferent charm.

Zhang Zijun opened his mouth, as if he had something to say, and finally swallowed it back, and pouted instead: "Can you change your clothes?" ”

"Why?" Lu Cheng was a little puzzled.

"It's so dazzling." Zhang Zijun said.

"Uh......"

Lu Cheng feels very aggrieved, I can't dress better?

Besides, it's not all my responsibility to be too handsome, it's genetic!

"I'm going back to the village tomorrow, and I won't live in the city in the future."

Zhang Zijun bowed his head and said. In fact, after knowing that Lu Cheng was on the list, she has been waiting for the other party to come to the door and invite her out for a drink.

Without waiting for Lu Cheng to ask, she added: "Zhangjiazhuang, go out from the south of the city and walk ten miles to arrive." ”

Only then did Lu Cheng know that she didn't usually live in the city, and she was a little disappointed, and she didn't realize the meaning revealed in the second half of the other party's sentence.

Zhang Zijun couldn't get a response from him, and suddenly looked up and asked, "You said last time that you invited me out for a drink after you fell in love with Xiucai?" ”

"That's right, didn't I come to you today?"

Lu Cheng was cheeky and counted the meal in the restaurant just now on his head. Although he didn't pay the bill himself, Shen Yi was making amends for himself, wasn't it?

"Today doesn't count, you have to ask for another tomorrow."

"But I have already promised Brother Shen, we will go tomorrow to ......"

"Where are you going?"

Zhang Zijun blinked slightly, and Lu Cheng shut up in recognition. You can't say in front of a girl that you're going to the Qinglou, right? Isn't this detrimental to one's glorious image?

However, she is going back to Zhangjiazhuang, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have a chance to see each other again in the future, and it will not hurt to have a meal together tomorrow.

After all, the big families at this time are very strict with the girls who have not left the cabinet, otherwise how can it be called "the door is not out, and the second door is not out"?

Seeing Zhang Zijun enter the gate, Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Could it be that she likes me?" ”

Then I felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous, this girl was probably the daughter of the old hall owner, she was just a poor and sour talent now, and she was not better than Pan An, how could she be taken by a girl?

When night fell, the shops on the street were closed one after another, and Lu Cheng realized that the time was not early, and it was about to be the time of the night curfew.

There isn't much nightlife these days, and at night, it's pitch black everywhere, and there are no street lights on the streets.

There is no electricity, where is the street lamp?

In order to maintain law and order, the imperial court has always implemented the system of "night curfew" at night, whether it is in the city or in the village, there are special errand servants and husbands. The Ming Dynasty also has very clear regulations on this: the dusk drum is sounded at three o'clock, and travel is prohibited. The morning bell will be ringed at three o'clock on the fifth watch, and the ban will be opened.

One watch at three o'clock, which is equivalent to 8:12 p.m. in the later generations. At this time, people who still wander the streets and do not sleep are called "night offenders", and once the night patrol officers are caught, they will be beaten.

Of course, there are exceptions, brothels and gambling houses are open 24 hours a day, but these are concentrated on one street and there is no night curfew.

At night, it's not impossible to go to such a fence place to have fun, or you can't go home during the night curfew. I really don't want to stay overnight, so don't let the servants catch me.

Take a detour or go to a stinky pond, and if you catch it, you will be unlucky.

The night ban was originally for fire prevention and theft, but in fact, I really haven't caught a few thieves. People are not stupid, don't they hide when they see the night patrol?

Lu Cheng felt that this system was the same as the schools of later generations, and the rulers looked at the common people the same as the students, thinking that if they were left alone, they would dare to play all night.

Therefore, this system is actually only useful for ordinary people, and officials are not in this case. You are a little errand boy, and you dare to take the big man who went out at night to play the board?

Not to mention that officials enjoy privileges, even a talented person with a meritorious reputation like Lu Cheng cannot be punished at will, and people are under the jurisdiction of Ti Xuedao.

Even if you are caught, you can only reprimand a few words at most, and then report it to the Yamen for disposal.

However, Lu Cheng didn't plan to make a night out, and it was not a good thing to leave a handle for others, so he hurried back to the inn.

I came to Fucheng today to enroll, but I didn't plan to rush back on the same day, and I didn't have enough time to travel.

This time, Lu Cheng was the first to be selected as a prisoner and sent to study in the Jingshi Guozi Prison. It's just that I don't know what Wu Tixue's considerations are, so I didn't arrange for him. Perhaps, it's because of the troubles made by the candidates.

The students of Guozijian are collectively referred to as prisoners, and there are generally four categories: those who are selected to study in prisons are called "Gongjian", also called "Gongsheng"; If a person is put into prison, it is called "lifting a prisoner"; When the children of officials are imprisoned, they are "shadow prisons"; Those who donate money to prison are "routine prisoners".

Lu Cheng didn't care too much, anyway, when he participated in the imperial examination, he copied it, and it was the same whether he learned it or not. It's better not to go to the capital, stay at home to teach, and try to take the township test next year.

"Tuk Tuk—"

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Lu Cheng said, "Come in." ”

"Crunch-"

The shopkeeper pushed the door in and walked in with a basin of hot water, which Lu Cheng had just ordered.

Not to mention, after being admitted to Xiucai, the treatment is not the same, twenty yuan can live in the upper room of the sky, not to mention, in the past, you had to wait for half a year to wash your feet, but now it is very fast, or the shopkeeper personally brought it.

He put the wooden basin on the ground next to the bed, stood there and rubbed his hands and said, "Lu Xianggong, you are also a frequent customer of our shop, and now that you are in high school, can you ...... Can you write a word for the shop? ”

Inscription?

Lu Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that my words are not very good, and they can't be called Mobao at all. Another one, he is just a show talent now, and his identity is not very noble, and this word is not worth much.

He actually ignored one point, the scale of this inn is not large, and it is not bad to have an inscription on the head of the court examination, not to mention that he is still young now, and it is possible to raise people in the future to be a jinshi.

If that time comes, the shopkeeper will really not be able to invite his ink treasure.
