Chapter 4 Genius and Beauty

After three hundred years of the Hua Dynasty, the glory of the past has long been recorded in the inscription on the stone wall, after experiencing several civil strife and turmoil, it has shown fatigue, but the gorgeous appearance supported by the three hundred years still makes the people feel well-being, those black things have also been deliberately or intentionally forgotten and covered up, but sometimes, the people at the bottom can still really feel those pain and tragedy.

For example, last year, the north suffered a drought, the displaced people rose everywhere, the Hua Dynasty had to send troops to suppress everywhere, people's patience always has a limit, there is no food, and they are chased like wild dogs, either die of hunger, or die of swords, and the choice is naturally less, so the displaced people have become bandits, and the bandits have become bigger traitors when they get together, and the suppression of the Hua Dynasty is more logical.

In a restaurant in Ye County, several scholars were discussing enthusiastically, "In today's court, the prince has been set up by the right minister and others, and since Shang Taifu was demoted, the prince is even more powerless to compete with them......"

"It's useless to say this, the prince is young, and the emperor just doesn't check it for a while, so there must be a time to set things right." Several scholars made remarks on current affairs, or sighed, or indignant, and the entire second floor of the restaurant was filled with their voices, which seemed warm and agitated.

On the window seat of the restaurant, a gorgeously dressed boy is talking to two people in a low voice, sometimes pointing to the scholar who is speaking in the field, introducing the background and knowledge of this person to the two people next to him, he is one of the initiators of the party, Lu Qingyun, the son of the Taishou of Benzhou, and the other two are Ying Hongsleeves and Dong Xiaowan dressed as men.

"Red sleeves, Wan'er made you laugh, Ziqi and they are also depressed in their chests, and they are talking too much." Lu Qingyun pointed to a young junior sitting at the bottom, Ying Hongsleeve and Dong Xiaowan nodded at each other, they knew each other.

Ying Hongsleeve smiled, "Master Lu, being able to plan for the world is the way of Confucius and Mencius, a few sons express their hearts directly, what's wrong?" Her voice was not loud, but it was just enough for everyone to hear, and everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of pride.

Lu Qingyun looked at Ying Hongsleeves, and only felt that he was really good, not only proficient in music and rhythm, but also able to observe words and colors, worthy of being an Oiran, and unlike it, Dong Xiaowan on the side was quiet and pleasant, occasionally talking, but they also complemented each other, and their hearts had a better impression of the two.

"It seems that everyone supports the crown prince's regency?" Dong Xiaowan asked.

"Naturally, the prince of a country is naturally a new hope, if the prince can be regent as soon as possible, it will inevitably bring changes to this dull court situation, and my talents in the Chinese Dynasty will only have a bright future." Lu Qingyun's words won the applause of everyone.

Dong Xiaowan nodded silently, she also knew something about the court situation, and she came here today to hear some new news, and she didn't listen much to the high-minded talk of a few scholars.

The discussion continued, but she moved her eyes to the scenery outside the window, and the song of the alley that day sounded in her ears, "How ridiculous is the red dust......" until the figure broke into her sight.

It's still one after the other, the maid keeps talking about what he has seen and heard, and the son in front of him is looking at everything around him curiously with his hands behind his back, the maid said that he was tired, he bought some food and drink, and rested, for the topic of the maid, he occasionally responded, and both of them seemed relaxed and happy.

"Huh, it's him?!" I don't know when, Ying Hongsleeve also walked over, and also saw a master and a servant, "Does Lu Gongzi know that?" ”

Lu Qingyun looked along, "Oh, it's the third young master of the General's Mansion, I also studied together in the previous year, but when I came back this time, I haven't seen it yet?" Why, you know? ”

"Don't just know." Ying Hongsleeves chuckled, because several sons beside her came over, and she told what happened that day, causing everyone to laugh.

Dong Xiaowan wanted to explain a few words, but was stopped by Ying Hongsleeve, originally thought that the other party would come back to entangle, but after waiting for a few days, there was no news, and Ying Hongsleeve's heart was lingering.

"Master Lu, I don't know if I can trouble you to invite him up, our sisters still don't want to go."

"What's so hard about that? I'll go. Lu Qingyun hurriedly went downstairs. After a while, he and Li Huai greeted each other on the street, the two looked in the direction of the restaurant, and after saying a few words, Li Huai gave his hand and said goodbye.

"How did he go?" Several people asked Lu Qingyun, who had just gone upstairs, only to see him shake his head, look at Ying Hongsleeves and Dong Xiaowan by the window, "He said that there is still something important to do, and the relationship between the girl, he understands it." ”

For a while, everyone didn't know what to say, but they felt that Ying Hongsleeve's face was a little pale.

"Why doesn't the young master go? Those are all talents. ”

"Why do you want to go, I don't know them well."

"What about Ying Hongsleeves and Dong Xiaowan? Uncooked? ”

"Not familiar."

The young master walked in front, and the maid listened to the young master's answer, stuck out her tongue, and her face was full of smiles.

"Cui Ping, hurry up, I won't wait for you" The maid walked a few steps quickly and followed closely behind Li Huai, "Young master, where are we going?" ”

"Go find Uncle Nine, and I'll ask him to help me inquire about something." Cui Ping also heard the name of Uncle Nine for the first time, remembering that the young master has indeed met a lot of people in the past few days, and he seems to be a little mysterious, and he was entangled by himself when he went out in the morning, so he had to take himself out.

They walked two streets, and saw this ninth uncle in a teahouse in the West Market, in the year of knowing his fate, he was wearing good silk and gold silk with beautiful edges, which looked extraordinary, but the sharpness in the other party's eyes made people feel uncomfortable, and behind him was a middle-aged man dressed in short clothes, and the fierce look on his face scared the other tea customers far away.

Li Huai walked over and sat down on the opposite side naturally, "Uncle Nine is here early." ”

"It's too late to ask someone to do something, young people now." The old man said casually, in a calm tone, as if he was teaching his own juniors.

"If there is a delay on the road, I hope Uncle Nine will forgive me." Li Huaiyu smiled, picked up the teapot on the table and filled the old man's teacup with some tea, with a respectful attitude, as if serving his own parents.

"Hmph, okay, Qiu Wu give it to him." The fierce man behind him took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and put them in front of Li Huai, "Boy, the matter has been clarified for you, what do you want to do next, what do they have to do with you?" ”

Li Huai was already studying the contents of the paper, "I am their guest. ”

"Oh?" Uncle Nine glanced at the young man and saw that the other party didn't seem to be joking, "Then I advise you not to interfere, I will ask Qiu Wu to take the child out." ”

"Uncle Xie Jiu, you have done enough, I will deal with the rest of the matter, there are some doubts, when I find out, I will pick up the child myself." Li Huai got up and was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly remembered something, "Uncle Jiu, I can't go to the monk to play chess these days, and I bother you to help me bring a word, and when the matter is settled, I will come to the door to thank you." ”

Uncle Nine nodded, looking at the young man's distant back, a smile appeared on his originally grim face, "This kid, it's really interesting, it seems that Lao Shang is right, he is an outlier, but he doesn't know how to do things?" ”

"Ninth Master, I'll send someone to keep an eye on some?" The fierce man behind him saw that the old man seemed to value the young man, so he said, "That person should not be an ordinary bandit." ”

The old man turned his head and looked at him with a strange expression: "Are there any idlers under your door?" Cold sweat suddenly broke out on the fierce man's forehead, "Take care of your own business......"

Listening to Uncle Nine's low tone, the fierce man bowed and saluted.

"Childe, he looks so fierce." Cui Ping had been hiding on the street corner, and Li Huai saw that she was a little scared, so he asked her to wait on the side of the road.

"Uncle Nine is a friend of Shang Lao, and he met him when he played chess before, and he is not a bad person, but ......" Li Huai couldn't help but think of the content on the paper.

Looking at Cui Ping's puzzled face, Li Huai smiled and touched the other party's head, "Let's go home." ”

"Go back so early?" The girl's face was slightly red, since the young master "lost his mind and went crazy", this kind of intimate behavior has happened from time to time, and every time she can be shy for a while.
