The next days are dull and busy, all the scholars are busy preparing before entering Beijing, ten years of cold window, many people have to face the first big exam in life, many people are also leaving their hometowns for the first time, many businesses in Taiyuan City have also seized this business opportunity, big or small to make an exam money, horses, bookcases, bedding, long swords, peace charms, etc., are all family members must prepare for the carry-on.

In the early morning of this day, Zhang Huan came to Jingxinguan, the day after tomorrow he is going to enter Beijing, today he came to say goodbye to his mother, the green in the small courtyard has disappeared, the bean vine is yellowly wound on the bamboo frame, only a few dry flat pods are swaying in the wind, the bamboo curtain in front of the mother's door has been replaced with a heavy leather curtain, there is a carbon basin in the corner, an elderly Taoist aunt is squatting next to the side with a bamboo tube to blow the stars of the carbon fire, she saw Zhang Huan walk into the yard, and ran outside with the brazier.

Zhang Huan walked to the front of the steps and knelt down gently, "Mother, the child will enter Beijing the day after tomorrow, so I am here to resign!" ”

In the middle of the night, a gentle voice from her mother came from the room, "Huan'er, you just try your best to take the test." ”

Zhang Huan nodded silently, and at this time, a cold wind blew, rolling up a few dead leaves and hovering in the air, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Is my mother's cough better?" ”

"It's an old disease, it comes and goes quickly, I haven't had a cough for almost half a month, and thanks to Pingping, who comes to give me medicine every day." Speaking of Pingping, there was a hint of a smile in her mother's voice, "Huan'er, what do you think of Pingping?" ”

"The child hasn't thought about it yet."

Mother smiled lightly and said: "Yesterday, your mother took Pingping to resign, and the two of them are going back to Shu today, and I mentioned this to my mother, and my mother doesn't want to interfere with your lifelong event, but Pingping is what I watched her grow up with." ”

Zhang Huan bowed his head and was silent, and only said after a while: "Mother's words, the children remember, the master and the children will leave in the afternoon, and the children will go to see them off." ”

After a pause, Zhang Huan said again: "If the mother has no other instructions, the child will leave!" ”

"Go ahead! Take care all the way. ”

At this point, there was no more sound from the mother, Zhang Huan kowtowed respectfully, stood up and left the small courtyard.

Out of the gate of meditation, he found that Zheng Qingming and Song Lianyu were waving to him in the distance, Zhang Huan was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Without waiting for Song Lianyu to speak, Zheng Qingming preemptively said: "In the morning, we checked our luggage, only to find that we forgot to buy a sword, how can a scholar travel without a sword, Lao Song said that you don't have either, so we will wait for you and go to see together!" ”

"Buying a sword?" Zhang Huan suddenly became interested, seeing that the hour was still early, he patted the two of them on the shoulder and smiled: "Let's go!" Look at it. ”

Taiyuan City's weapons shop in the south and north of the city, generally speaking, the south market sells popular weapons, and the north market is the place to buy treasure knives and blades, the Tang Dynasty martial arts is extremely prosperous, and the imperial court management is also relatively relaxed, all adult men will have three moves and five styles, and the sword is also the trend of the times, just like everyone now has a mobile phone.

The students of Jinyang Academy are compulsory to bow horses, and the head of the teaching is invited from the famous martial arts hall, so the students are all good, especially Zhang Huan, he has been taught a set of extremely simple and practical sword techniques by Lin Delong since he was a child, coupled with his amazing strength and speed, there is no one in Jinyang Academy who has thousands of scholars.

The three of them came to the Nanshi Weapons Street, where the crowds are surging, there are scholars who come to buy swords, merchants do business every year, they have already figured out the law, they have prepared enough goods a month ago, each weapon shop is full of all kinds of long and short swords, the cheap hundreds of Wen can be bought, and the expensive ones need 10,000 Wen, but the price of the sword is not in the steel heat, but in the scabbard, originally! They are all scholars, and they don't need to go to the battlefield, so they just want to save face.

As soon as Zhang Huan and the three of them entered the street, they were stopped by a shopkeeper, "Three, come to the small shop and have a look!" I have all kinds of sheaths here, and the price is fair, so you can choose the sword you like. ”

The owner of the shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties, he looks sincere and has a unique vision, he first took out a long sword with a scabbard full of pearls and said to Zhang Huan: "This son is full of coldness, but the blessing is slightly lacking, I recommend this mouth full of stars, can add a bit of wealth to the son!" ”

Zhang Huan smiled and waved his hand: "I don't want a sword, I want to buy a knife, and I want a horizontal knife, I don't know if your store has it?" ”

"Knives?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, the student bought a knife, this is the first time he has encountered it, he hesitated slightly, and said: "Some time ago, there were merchants in Shandong who ordered a large number of knives, and almost all the knives in our Hedong were collected. ”

Zhang Huan was a little surprised in his heart, how could Shandong people go to Hedong to buy a large number of knives, could it be that the Cui family couldn't do it? Thinking about it, he was a little distracted, and the shopkeeper saw that he couldn't do this business, so he ignored him, walked over and smiled at Zheng Qingming and Song Lianyu: "Do you two talented people have a favorite sword?" ”

Zheng Qingming had a soft spot for the pearl-studded starry sky, and had already held it in his hand, while Song Lianyu picked up a leather sheath sword of two hundred and fifty wen in a pile of swords on the ground, and everyone paid and walked out of the store.

I visited more than a dozen weapons shops, and sure enough, as the shopkeeper said, all the knives were all included, and a few didn't even have a single inventory, all said that a few big merchants in Shandong bought all the knives, Zhang Huan's heart was even more puzzled, if it was really bought by the Cui family, then what was their intention? After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so he let go of the matter.

At this time, it was past noon, and the three of them didn't have time to go to Beishi again, so they hurried to Lin Zhitang.

There was already a sea of people in front of Linzhi Hall, and those who rushed to see off the Lin family when they heard the news, begged the Lin family to stay, helped the old and the young, and filled half of the street in the dark, and even several nearby pharmacies were temporarily closed because they could not do business.

Several carriages stopped in front of the steps of Lin Zhitang, more than a dozen medicine boys were busy carrying things, Lin Delong was dressed in a cyan robe, standing on the steps with an apologetic face and explaining to the villagers: "Lin Mou only sent Neiko and the little girl back to their hometown this time, and they will come back, please rest assured, the patients I have admitted will definitely be treated!" ”

Zhang Huan and the three of them squeezed into the crowd and entered the side door from the side alley, the room was messy, there were bandaged cages everywhere, and there was a fragrant smell of beef wafting from the kitchen, which was the master and wife cooking.

"Is Eighteen Lang here?"

Yang Yuniang's voice came from the kitchen, and Zhang Huan hurriedly responded: "It's me!" Wife, where is Pingping? ”

Hearing Zhang Huan ask Pingping, Yang Yuniang walked out with a smile, and she shouted a few times in front of the window, "Pingping!" Your Zhang 18 is here, Pingping! ”

There was no response for a long time, and Yang Yuniang was a little strange, "This child, I saw that she was still in the room just now, where did she go now?" ”

Zhang Huan hurriedly smiled and said, "Then the master is busy, I'll go and talk to the master first." ”

"Go ahead! It's time to start eating, so call your master too. ”

Zhang Huan had just walked a few steps, Yang Yuniang stopped him again, she looked at Zhang Huan and asked meaningfully, "Have you been to see your mother?" ”

"I'm going to say goodbye to my mother in the morning, is there anything wrong with my mother?"

"Nothing, you go!"

Yang Yuniang looked at Zhang Huan's back and sighed helplessly.

Passing through a corridor, Zhang Huan walked quickly to the medicine hall, and happened to meet the master who had returned from his resignation, Lin Delong saw Zhang Huan and said with some reproach: "Where have you been in the morning?" Zhao Yan ran to find you several times. ”

Zhang Huan bowed and saluted, and said apologetically: "I went to say goodbye to my mother in the morning, and then I went to Nanshi to buy a knife, so I came late, please forgive the master!" ”

"I see, I'm wrong about you."

Seeing that Zhang Huan was not wearing a knife, Lin Delong glanced at the long sword hanging from the waists of Zheng Qingming and Song Lianyu, and said with a smile: "Then did you buy a knife?" ”

Zhang Huan shook his head and said, "I want to buy the same horizontal knife as the master, but unfortunately I can't buy it." ”

At this time, Lin Pingping's voice came from behind him: "Fortunately, you didn't buy it, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get Daddy's knife." ”

Zhang Huan turned around, only to see Lin Pingping standing behind him, she was wearing a yellow narrow-sleeved shirt today, a green floor-length skirt, her hair was also combed into a double moon bun, and there was a gentle and shallow smile on her face, not only that, Zhang Huan also found that she had painted her eyebrows, and her body exuded a faint fragrance, and Lin Pingping, who was lively and grinning in the past, turned into a lady, which made Zhang Huan and the three of them stunned.

Zhang Huan slowly turned his head and hurriedly thanked the master: "Thank you for the grace of the master for giving the knife, and the apprentice will remember it in my heart." ”

"Don't thank me, my original intention was to give the knife to Zhao Yan."

Lin Delong restrained the smile in his heart, and he pointed to Lin Pingping with a straight face: "This is the meaning of Pingping!" ”

Speaking of this, he stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Qingming and Song Lianyu and said with a smile: "It is estimated that your aunt's beef soup has been prepared, let's try it." ”

The two were half-dragged and half-dragged away by Lin Delong, and only Zhang Huan and Lin Pingping were left on the aisle.

Zhang Huan looked her up and down, and couldn't help laughing: "You suddenly became like this, I don't even know you anymore." ”

"I don't want to!"

Lin Pingping pursed her lips, she grabbed a big apple from the basket next to her, wiped it on her skirt, and gnawed it, chewing while chewing and smiling: "My mother wants me to pretend to be gentle and sad today, just like my sister, and forced me to practice in front of the mirror for a long time, I'm really tired, I really don't want to pretend, let it go!" ”

Zhang Huan saw that her true nature was revealed, and her heart also relaxed, and said with a smile: "I heard that you went on a blind date last time, but you frightened the little Qiao Gongzi, if you go down like this, I'm afraid you really can't find your in-laws." ”

Speaking of blind dates, Lin Pingping frowned and said: "My mother said that after returning to Shu County, I will find my blind date to find my mother-in-law's house, I am annoyed, if I am locked at home all day long like my sister, I don't go out of the door, I don't step out of the second door, and I have to look at the face of my in-laws, I won't do it!" If she pushes me hard, I'll come to you, okay? ”

"But you're eighteen! If you don't get married, no one really wants it. ”

Lin Pingping didn't speak, for a while, she lowered her head and said: "My mother tells me every day these days, saying that I am not as good-looking as my sister, and my temperament is not as gentle as her, and I am old, it is good that someone is willing to marry me, and she also said that I am not qualified to be so picky, but..."

Speaking of the word 'but', she glanced at Zhang Huan, shook her head vigorously and said: "But I never want to marry someone I don't like, let alone change myself for anyone, I'm like this, if I like it, if I don't like it, I will pull it down, I am not rare!" ”

．．．．．．．．

After lunch, it was finally time to set off, Zhang Huan sent the mother and daughter of the Lin family to the carriage, Lin Delong took a long horizontal knife from his horse, handed it to Zhang Huan and said: "I don't know how many Hu people I have killed with this knife, now give it to you, don't embarrass me." ”

Zhang Huan took it and nodded silently, at this time Yang Yuniang also came over and repeatedly told him that after entering Beijing, he should protect Qiaoqiao well and never have an accident, Zhang Huan also promised one by one.

Seeing that the hour had come, Lindron strode up to the horse, turned over on the horse, and waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”

The coachman shouted twice, shook a whip, the wheels sounded, and finally set off, the crowd surged, many people ran with the carriage, Zhang Huan stood in front of the steps and waved goodbye to the mother and daughter of the Lin family, suddenly, Lin Pingping leaned out of the car window half of his body, she bit her lip tightly, and threw something to Zhang Huan, Zhang Huan reached out to catch it, it was her most beloved small pan silver ornament.

He held the small frying pan aloft and waved his hand vigorously, and in the warm sunlight, the carriage faded away and finally disappeared from his field of vision.
