Chapter 2 The inn is green and willow-colored
It's raining in Lin'an City.
The street vendors in the city set up waterproof canvases, took the goods back under the tarpaulin, and watched the sky of Lin'an with the faint light falling.
There are not many pedestrians on the bluestone street, all holding an oil umbrella, hurriedly walking, looking down and only looking at the feet.
The guards at the gate shouted a few words, and put a layer of grass in their armor, wondering when the rain would stop.
In Lin'an in August, it is the rainy season, and the drizzle continues.
Outside the city gate, a convoy of five carriages, all marching in parallel.
The sharp-eyed old soldier just glanced at the three horses, and already had a rough idea in his heart, I am afraid that the son of a family is coming, and in a few days it will be the day of the examination of Bailu Academy, and there will be more people entering Beijing.
When I looked closely, the first wagon of the convoy was holding a flag.
"Beigong."
Without the slightest hesitation, the old soldier waved his hand, and the sergeant defending the city immediately removed the horse and let the convoy into the city.
As soon as Fang entered the city, a round fat man jumped from the fourth carriage and ran to the second carriage, and the old butler behind him couldn't catch up with him with an umbrella, "Young master!" Slow down! Don't get wet! ”
The fat man didn't care at all, ran to the second carriage with a cigarette, gently lifted the curtain, and saw one person closing his eyes and recuperating, holding a long sword in both hands, and the other wearing a white robe and a white cloak, looking at it with relish.
The young man with the book was a little pale, and he would cough from time to time, which caused the little fat man to hurriedly order someone to get the medicine.
"Big brother, we have already entered Lin'an, and the White Deer Academy will start to take the exam in seven days." Beigong Boyu said.
Jiang Yun made a booing gesture, "Yi Nian just fell asleep, and he hasn't slept well in these months." ”
Beigong Boyu leaned in and lowered his voice so as not to wake up Mo Yinian.
"Big brother, how is your body?" Seeing Jiang Yun's pale appearance, Beigong Boyu felt very sad.
"Thanks to your care in the past three months, my body has recovered about fifty percent, and there is no problem with walking, but the rest is very reluctant."
Jiang Yun himself understood the condition of his body, and the dream-like village of that night penetrated his chest, and blood gushed out, according to the divine doctor invited by Beigong Boyu, if the tip of the sword was going down, he would definitely die. But because the wound is too deep, the healing is quite slow, and at present, as long as I do some larger movements, I will pull the wound.
"Then the White Deer Academy, it is said that there will be a martial arts test?"
"That's right..."Beigong Boyu was a little embarrassed, "The news I found out is that this time the academy will have four martial arts test questions and four literary test questions, and five hundred people will be selected." ”
"It's okay, just act according to the situation." Jiang Yun said.
Beigong Boyu looked at Jiang Yun, and felt even more guilty in his heart. If he wasn't here to save himself and others, then there would be absolutely no problem with his ability to pass the academy's examination.
But now, with his body, I'm afraid there are some variables.
"Live in my house during this time!" Beigong Boyu said, "My father wants to see you. He said if you didn't come, you'd beat me to death. ”
Jiang Yun smiled, "I should visit in person, but I already have a plan for my residence." ”
Beigong Boyu was happy when he heard that Jiang Yunken came, but he was also sullen and a little depressed when he heard that he didn't live in his own mansion.
"I don't want to live in your house, but I do have other things to attend to."
"If you have something, just look for me!" Beigong Boyu patted his chest, "My Beigong Boyu also has a bit of face in this Lin'an City, and the people in the city must be frightened when they hear my name, and they will be fartful and urinating!" ”
"I'm looking for someone." Jiang Yun smiled, "Just send me to Liu's Mansion." ”
"Liu Mansion?" Beigong Boyu muttered a few words in a low voice, got out of the car and asked the old housekeeper, "But the Liu family from Shule?" ”
"Exactly, just send me there."
Beigong Boyu instructed the coachman a few words, and then asked the old housekeeper some information, and a trace of strangeness appeared on his face.
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Yun with an expression of "man, I understand".
When the convoy arrived at Liu's Mansion, Jiang Yun wanted Beigong Boyu to go back first, just like when he woke up that day, but Beigong Boyu's head shook like a rattle, and he should have followed him to Lin'an slowly for three months, taking care of everything along the way, even if it was raining in Lin'an today, he still followed Jiang Yun to Liu's Mansion.
Mo Yinian lifted the curtain for Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun looked at the word "Liu Fu" at the door, slowly got out of the carriage, and the little fat man hurriedly came over with an oil umbrella.
When the housekeeper at the door saw this kind of battle, he hurriedly went to inform the master of the house to come.
After a while, a woman appeared in front of Jiang Yun.
This woman is dressed in an emerald green satin dress, with a jasper carved hairpin on her head, her hair is coiled with cloud sideburns, and her demeanor reveals the temperament of everyone's ladies, light but not charming, and faintly majestic
Beigong Boyu looked puzzled, this woman coiled her hair, she was already married, why did her eldest brother fall in love with her? But looking at this woman's beauty, that temperament can't be faked, and she is not an ordinary woman at first glance.
Jiang Yun gave a slight bow and handed out a letter from his arms.
"This is what Master Liu instructed me to hand over to you."
The dragon housekeeper beside the woman saw Jiang Yun and whispered a few words beside her, and the woman nodded and took the letter.
"Since you are an old man, why don't you go into the house to talk about it, the little woman has prepared some tea to catch the wind and wash the dust for her son."
The woman's words were kind, but there was a layer of estrangement.
Jiang Yun looked at this woman and felt that she had a six-point resemblance to Liu Changqing, but this woman did not know her true identity, and she was the only one who knew her identity.
I'm afraid that Uncle Liu doesn't want his daughter to be involved in this dispute again.
Jiang Yun smiled, "No need, I have already found a place to live, and I came here this time only to be entrusted by the deceased, if you disturb Mrs., please forgive me." ”
The woman kept looking at Jiang Yun, and found that his eyes were calm, not like the rest of the men, and she had a good impression of him in her heart.
"Then please ask the son to enter the house to talk about it, otherwise if my father knows, I am afraid that he will be blamed."
Jiang Yun shook his head, clenched his fists, turned around and entered the carriage, and gradually disappeared into the rain and fog with the movements of the coachman.
The woman looked at the direction Jiang Yun left for a while, and slowly returned to the mansion, and the gate of the Liu Mansion slowly closed.
In an inn in Lin'an City, the shopkeeper was so frightened by Beigong Boyu that he trembled, all because of this, he said that he wanted to charter the entire inn, and the shopkeeper said that it was not like this, and Beigong Boyu even showed his identity and discussed it with the shopkeeper with a group of murderous housekeepers.
"The fat man is a civilized person, and the last thing he likes to use in his life is force, don't you say?" Beigong Boyu waved his hand and said to the family members behind him.
"Yes! The young master is the most civilized! Absolutely no force! Pay attention to convincing people with reason! More than 30 family members stood at the door of the inn and shouted in unison, so frightened that the pedestrians hurriedly detoured, and even the patrol soldiers who heard the voice and ran over heard the four words "Beigong Boyu", without a moment of hesitation, turned around and left, and said something like "The weather is so good today".
The shopkeeper trembled, "But it's small, this can't work.. The guest has been.."
"Huh? What did you say? Beigong Boyu said, turned around and looked at his family again, "We pay attention to convincing people with reason, don't we?!" ”
"Convince people with reason!" The housekeepers raised their wooden sticks and shouted loudly, and some of the guests who were woken up were about to scold, but when they saw the battle below, they all told their friends about today's weather, and then they all decided to go back to sleep.
"This..."The shopkeeper and the runner next to him looked at the group of "civilized people" in front of them with a panicked expression, wondering if they had offended the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable and provoked such a group of masters.
"That's not possible!" Jiang Yun came from the carriage side, and when he saw Beigong Boyu's appearance, he couldn't cry or laugh.
He wondered why the little fat man suddenly left first halfway through, and called it Gong, it turned out that he had come here. But his heart was also warm, and he understood the little fat man's intentions.
"Big brother! Come, please be seated! Beigong Boyu hurriedly moved two stools over, "Hurry up and call Master Zu!" ”
"Master Zu!" The family members shouted in unison, and their eyes widened, after all, this was the first time they had seen their young master treat a person so respectfully, and this person even looked not much different from him.
"Don't.." Jiang Yun is full of black lines, Master Zu? Why does it sound like he's become that domineering strongman?
Jiang Yun leaned over to the shopkeeper, "The shopkeeper is sorry, my brother is a little impulsive, please forgive the shopkeeper, and I will compensate for the losses caused." ”
"This loss.." The shopkeeper was about to say something, but he saw Beigong Boyu's eyes turn faintly, and he was still holding a wooden stick in his hand.
"No loss! Where did the loss come from! It is an honor for the prince of Beigong to come to the small shop! Childe is going to stay? There are also two first-class rooms in our store! The price is negotiable! ”
"Then thank you." Jiang Yun smiled, and Mo Yinian went to deal with the store.
"Big brother! This is where you chose to live? Why don't you live in my house? Beigong Boyu was a little dissatisfied.
Jiang Yun looked around and approached Beigong Boyu, "Didn't you find it?" ”
Beigong Boyu looked around for a week, a little confused.
"Look at the person in a yellow robe on the second floor, the person drinking with a swallow cap on the right, and the running hall behind the shopkeeper who is wiping at the moment."
Beigong Boyu glanced at the three people silently, and found that although they had their own movements, their eyes had been stuck on themselves and Jiang Yun as if they were nothing.
Beigong Boyu was about to say something, but Jiang Yun stopped him, "Just as if nothing happened, don't let your Beigong family get involved in this matter." ”
Beigong Boyu's eyes were a little more grateful, and then he shook his head and glared at the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, my eldest brother lives here, if there is anything wrong with him, these more than 30 Ding will come over for a few hours every day to "civilize", have you ever understood?" ”
"Beigong Gongzi don't have to worry! Small nature is provincial! The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, and said in his heart that the devil was finally gone.
Mo Yinian paid the money, and a small group took the two of them upstairs, and while moving forward, the man in the yellow robe on the second floor suddenly stood in front of Jiang Yun.
Mo Yinian was about to draw his sword, but Jiang Yun stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"Little fortune name, please tell Yun Gongzi."
