As mentioned at the meeting, Li Shimin, the monarch and the minister, talked about the way of the king, and the glow reappeared to continue to write the prosperity and strength of the Tang Dynasty. I saw that in the afternoon of this day, white clouds rose in the clear blue sky, changing postures from time to time, and the sky was beautiful; Flocks of flying egrets, crossing the autumn sky, are even more agile to the extreme. Looking at the yellowing leaves, the autumn grain that is about to be harvested, a colorful China, very moving! The beauty of autumn colors, beauty in nature, beauty in harmony!

Wang Xuance led the horse, strolling on the official road leading to Chang'an City, deeply attracted by this picturesque scenery, enjoying the quiet autumn scenery along the way, and unconsciously the sunset was sinking. Seeing that there was still some distance from the next market town, he immediately rode his horse and whipped towards Mengjindu. This Mengjindu has been an important place for the north and south of the Yellow River since ancient times. Looking at this Mengjin ferry from afar, people come and go, the river is endless, and a boatload of goods is loaded and unloaded at the wharf, unloaded and loaded. A sturdy porter, carrying a burden on his shoulders, sent the goods onto donkey carts, ox carts, horse-drawn carts and other means of transport. In the distance, between the square fields, the common people are working hard; A team of people who had finished sending off their relatives came from a distance with a drunken sedan chair and a swaying spirit; Smoke has risen from a few simple houses, and a few old trees with crooked necks at the door also make life seem quiet and calm. As the sky gets late, the people who rush out of the city from time to time have gradually accelerated the pace of returning home, and from a distance, there is a prosperous sunset.

Looking at the endless stream and bustling crowd, Wang Xuance led his horse to the town. I saw that on both sides of the street, people came and went lively; As it gets late, some shops have set up oil lamps, making this bustling ferry full of life and vitality. The lives of the people, accompanied by endless shouts and shouts, appear to be scattered and orderly.

As he spoke, he came to this Liansheng Inn; People in Mengjindu know that this is a time-honored inn, and most of the merchants from the south to the north are here to play their tips. Here you can listen to the information of all directions, you can see the guests from all over the world, with the word of mouth, the reputation is getting louder and louder, up to the officials and nobles, down to the three religions and nine streams, the peddlers and pawns will settle down here to stay in the store. Li Xiaosan, the old guy in the store, is a clever ghost, plus he listens to all directions and sees six roads, so he knows everything about the affairs of the Central Plains. Because, he is a good person and polite, so this popularity is also the number one in this store. Dressed in a gray cloth coarse coat and wearing a white handkerchief on his shoulder, this is his perfect image.

With the sunset, there are more people staying in the hotel, and this Li Xiaosan has changed from leaning on the door frame during the day to greeting guests at the door enthusiastically. Far away, he figured out this Wang Xuance: dressed in white, a good-looking Turkic horse, a sword hanging on a horse, with an endless sense of curiosity, looking east and west, plus at his age, he must be a fledgling boy, with no social experience, let alone any sophistication and maturity; To put it bluntly, this kind of guest officer is best greeted! So, but seeing Wang Xuance leading the horse coming, he hurriedly greeted him and greeted him with a thick Henan accent: "Guest officer, it's going to be dark soon, come and rest in our Liansheng store, this is the best inn in Mengjindu, and the guest officer is resting hard!" ”

Hearing him shout like this, Wang Xuance also looked this young man up and down, with a kind face and honesty; I raised my head and looked at the inn again, and saw that the four gilt italics of the Liansheng Inn were neat and powerful, and then looked at the design of the two floors, which looked quite magnificent, and then decided: "Okay, use good forage first, feed the horses, and then arrange a room for me." ”

followed Li Xiaosan to the second floor and pushed open the arranged guest room. Although the room is not big, it is quite clean, and the environment is already very good when going out, and after expressing satisfaction, he ordered Li Xiaosan to step down. Lying on the bed, thinking about it, a feeling of longing for the master arose. Over the years, I have been inseparable from Master every day, and Master has cared for me very much, and I don't know what happened to Master during these days of parting. On the one hand, this kind of longing is the nostalgia for relatives, and on the other hand, it is the reluctance to leave the elders for the first time.

stared blankly at the empty tiled roof. Wang Xuance also seems to understand the master's intentions, as he taught before, it is impossible for a person to follow the master for the rest of his life in this life; Of course, children cannot rely on their parents only for the rest of their lives. All this is for the master's own good, after all, he has grown up, and it is time to make a career; On the one hand, we must not live up to the Master's trust, and on the other hand, we must also assume our due responsibilities.

Inadvertently, he touched the poster bag beside him, and then took out the two letters. Instantly surprised him, who was Master before? Not only can he have a relationship with Wei Zheng, the doctor of the current dynasty, but also can be involved in today's saints. It's a pity that the master didn't say a word about the past.

Thinking of these, and then thinking of his future, he felt a little gratified, after all, he could achieve great things and do great things; Of course, you can reach the sky in one step! After figuring out these two letters related to his future, Wang Xuance still neatly put them into the poster bag. After a little freshening up, I will prepare to go down to eat, so as to recuperate and hurry well, in order to rush to this prosperous place in the capital as soon as possible and show my ambition and talent!

As soon as he opened the door, he heard Li Xiaosan explain to some diners who were preparing to eat downstairs: "All the guest officials who come from the south to the north, when you arrive at our Mengjindu, you should try our noodles." The Central Plains people have a soft spot for pasta, a piece of wheat, after the grinding of the stone mill, and then so sifted, it becomes a fine flour, speaking of this flour, in the hands of the Central Plains people can show thousands of patterns, it can be said that you can eat for such a year, every day is not the same, can not eat. The people of the Central Plains often say: Central China is the Central Plains, and the flowers are like splendid clouds; The food culture has been around for thousands of years, and the special pasta is endless! Want to finish Henan noodles? Taste it for at least a year! Mengjin's braised pork, Luoyang's seat, Nanyang's noodles are spread all over the world, ......" is an easy-to-understand slip, which instantly caused all diners to laugh!

Looking at the laughter in the room, Li Xiaosan explained: "Don't laugh, guest officials, the special food recommended by our store today is naturally inseparable from this braised noodles and Mengjin braised pork......"

Just arrived at the meal, coupled with Li Xiaosan's wonderful shouting, after a while, the downstairs was full of diners noisy with various local dialects. Of course, eating here is naturally inseparable from the two delicacies recommended by Li Xiaosan just now, two taels of Mengjin soju with a portion of braised pork, plus a bowl of mellow and rich stewed noodles. This kind of food is not expensive, only 20 yuan, not only affordable, but also delicious!

Wang Xuance naturally ordered such a standard ingredient. With delicious food and listening to the accent from south to north, I suddenly found that this place is really a river and lake.

The person who only listened to the accent of Yishan said: "In the past few years, the situation has been good, and the people have food, so those of us who run the rivers and lakes can do it smoothly." ”

Immediately afterwards, the person with a state accent received: This is your Guannei, and our side of the state is not very peaceful; This Turk, his grandmother's, three days of harassment, either robbery or killing, made people panic! ”

"Actually, the main thing is that the Tartars in the north are poor, and they have nothing but cattle and sheep; If you don't have anything, you naturally have to go to the customs to rob it, it's a headache! One of the guys with him also casually agreed!

……

Wang Xuance listened to their conversation quietly. More or less some information. Looking at Wang Xuance, who was fascinated by listening and eating, Li Xiaosan deliberately ran over and asked: "Brother, can you be satisfied with our Mengjindu food, this is our authentic local characteristics!" ”

"Satisfied, I haven't eaten anything like this for a long time, this noodle tastes soft, and it is very delicious with mutton soup; This braised pork, at first glance, is very hot, melts in the mouth, must have been stewed for no less than three hours. It's strong, smooth and smooth."

Listening to his comment, Li Xiaosan instantly felt that this was a food connoisseur: "Brother, we are relieved to have what you say, we can't hide it, this stewed noodles, but the imperial chef of the previous dynasty fled to our Mengjindu recipe; This braised pork has also flourished in our Mengjindu for hundreds of years, and it is all original, and the ancient recipe has been passed down from generation to generation; When it comes to this soju, it is even more amazing, this is the ancestral secret recipe of our old shopkeeper, this is called pot brewing, mild and not top-notch......"

Listening to Li Xiaosan's tirade, Wang Xuance was a little overwhelmed in an instant, and he never thought that Li Xiaosan would not be able to stop as soon as this topic opened. Although Wang Xuance was helpless, he still had time to see that in order not to be rude, he politely asked Li Xiaosan to sit down and chat. This Li Xiaosan, seeing that Wang Xuance was so amiable, didn't say a word, wiped the stool with a white hand towel, and sat down quickly!

"Which direction are you going, officer, this light car is simple, not like a businessman; But he doesn't look like a rich boy, he looks like a scholar, but he is also a little different from a scholar" Li Xiaosan looked at Wang Xuance with questioning eyes, eagerly waiting for his answer.

Wang Xuance, who was just starting out, was bombarded by this series of questions. Wang Xuance actually wanted him to call himself a scholar, because after all, he likes to dance and write; So he smiled and asked, "Why don't you think I'm not like a scholar?" ”

"Guest officer, I have seen a lot of scholars, and many of them are polite; And although you look elegant, but you are full of chivalry in your bones, could it be that you are a chivalrous man who walks the rivers and lakes and is well-versed in literature and ink" Li Xiaosan asked this Wang Xuance again with a naughty tone.

Wang Xuance was right to think about it; Over the years, Master has not only taught himself to learn literature, but also taught him to practice martial arts! In terms of martial arts, it is also a small achievement, and it is not inferior to a scholar in terms of talent and learning; instantly felt that this Li Xiaosan was quite accurate in seeing people, so he smiled and replied: "Your eyes are really vicious!" ”

Hearing him say this, Li Xiaosan instantly became happy.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xuance asked again: "I don't know how long it will take to go to Chang'an?" ”

"Yo, guest officer, you're going to Chang'an! This will take about ten days, after Mengjin is Luoyang, along the official road of Luoyang, all the way to the west, after Tongguan, it is Chang'an; Is the guest officer going to Ying Gongming or to join his relatives? ”

Wang Xuance was asked by Li Xiaosan's endless rhetorical questions, and he couldn't cope with it, so he could only return like this: "This, it's not." Thanks, thanks, it's not early, I have to go back early to rest, and I have to hurry tomorrow morning."

With that, he got up to leave, and when he reached the top of the stairs, he noticed a dark shadow flashing in front of him. Instantly made him feel that this person is very skilled! was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care too much, after all, people didn't do anything out of the ordinary for the time being.

When he walked to the door of the room, he suddenly realized how the lock that fell when he went down was open. Hurriedly pushed open the door, found that the house was in a mess, and suddenly there was a "buzz" in his mind, and he hurriedly walked to the head of the bed to see that he had lost his poster bag; I still can't find it when I turn over the cabinets! When Wang Xuance was anxious, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door, as if he was arguing about something; hurriedly went out and found that the downstairs was crowded; I saw Li Xiaosan, who was appeasing these guest officers who lived in the hotel!

It turned out that all the big guy's things were stolen during the meal. Some are gold, silver and jade, some are pearl agate, some are entanglements on the road, and some are worthless things. It was bustling and disturbing, and at this time, some emotional guest officers scolded this for being a black shop, and Li Xiaosan was quite out of temper! looked at Li Xiaosan, who couldn't resist, and at this time, the old shopkeeper also apologized again and again: "It's not right to let the big guy suffer losses; I am also very reluctant not to go, the best way at this time is to report to the official, and the government will send someone to investigate. The group felt that this was the only way, so the old shopkeeper quickly assigned a bartender to report to the officer!

After a while, a group of soldiers arrived, following a man who was head-hunting. After registering the list of lost items, he turned around and left with the team of soldiers. Before leaving, he only left this sentence: "Please rest assured, the government will do its best to arrest the bandits"

Looking at the frosted eggplants, Wang Xuance also felt very helpless; You have to understand those two letters, but the master has trusted him so much, how good is it to lose the letters! Anxiety, loss, and instantly welled up in my heart. And everyone, although they are angry, they have no choice but to wait for the results of the government.

Looking at the scattered merchants, Wang Xuance, who returned to the room, seemed to be calmer on the bed. After detailed thinking and cautious judgment, he decided to have a good chat with Li Xiaosan, an almighty clever ghost, because his intuition told him that this person should not be an inner ghost. So he got up, went downstairs, grabbed Li Xiaosan, and returned to his room.

"Brother, we are also very wronged in this matter, you said that we opened such a big inn; It's been years, and there has never been a theft like this. However, so many guest officers were stolen from a meal, alas...... We're also so helpless, I'm so sorry for the guest officer! Li Xiaosan explained helplessly and confusedly with endless apologies.

A person can often show his generosity, wisdom and courage when he encounters something. At this moment, Wang Xuance was unusually calm, and after listening to his quiet thinking, he analyzed Li Xiaosan, who was anxious: "First: just the kung fu of this meal, entering the door of so many people's rooms, it shows that this person's kung fu is good; Second: He saw everything he saw, indicating that he came for money, and the only thing I lost was a poster bag, which means that he didn't seem to look closely. Third: At the moment when I went upstairs, I saw the black shadow, about seven feet long, as light as a swallow, and it was definitely this person; Fourth: Judging from the theft scenes of some resident merchants, it seems that they have stepped on it in advance. I don't know if you've noticed such a stranger in the past two days."

After listening to Wang Xuance's analysis, Li Xiaosan hurriedly returned: "Brother, you want to talk about this stranger, this is everywhere; In our shop, people come from south to north, and strangers come every day; Seven-foot-tall people are also everywhere, how can this be judged" Wang Xuance was also speechless at the moment. However, the clever brain turned around, and then asked: "Have you heard any abnormal news in the inn these days, abnormal merchants!" ”

The brain reacts quickly is better than the slow response, after his reminder and analysis; This Li Xiaosan's purring eyes turned around, and he really thought of a clue! So, the mood that was quite impatient calmed down a lot in an instant: "A few days ago, there was really a man who was more than seven feet tall and came to stay in the hotel with a big knife; When I came to stay at the hotel, he looked east and west, and I also felt something suspicious; Later, he was in the corridor on the second floor, stomping and touching. So I greeted him, said hello, and asked him why he didn't go back to his room to rest and what he needed to come. I only heard him come back and say that the house was too stuffy, so he walked around the corridor casually! He checked out the next day, and he didn't see anything unusual! ”

"It's been a few days, hey, that's right" Li Xiaosan instantly became smart, and hurriedly said: "On the second day after he left, there was a group of people who looked like the government's hunt, and they didn't look like local catchers, because they were dressed in civilian clothes and were plain; During the meal, he said that he wanted to arrest Jiangyang thief Zhang Harrier. ”

"Zhang Harrier, what is his origin?" Wang Xuance hurriedly interjected and asked!

"I haven't seen it either, but I heard that this person does everything, and he is wanted by the government everywhere"

At this point, this Li Xiaosan and Wang Xuance are clever at the same time, and the eight achievements are no different from this harrier. After such an analysis, it is estimated that the thief turned around and killed a horse pistol. However, in the face of the uncertain Zhang Harrier, Wang Xuance did not have a good countermeasure for a while. can only let Li Xiaosan report the analyzed case to the government as soon as possible, in order to pray that the real murderer can be arrested quickly!

This night, Wang Xuance, who was lying on the bed, tossed and turned, but he didn't expect that he had just come out and lost the master's trust. His future was originally pinned on these two letters, but now he has lost his support; In the loss, there was a little more disappointment, and there was a sadness. This night, he thought a lot and remembered a lot; In his sleep, he dreamed of his mother, only to see his mother driving him away with a stick, telling him that no matter what happens, he must be strong and self-reliant, and then disappear without a trace. With a shout of "mother", Wang Xuance was pulled back to reality from his sleep.

Yes, my mother is right; Even if you don't have a letter of recommendation, can't you still get ahead? You have to understand that things are man-made, and everything is done on your own.

Lying on the bed, looking at the stars outside the window, blinking from time to time, as if silently talking to himself in his heart. Life in the world is like this, sometimes inadvertently encounter a lot of setbacks and failures, and some things happen suddenly; It will change a person's heart and state of mind. Of course, it depends on how you deal with it, and if you deal with it properly, it will develop in a good direction; If you don't make a mistake, you may become more depressed.

The road is always chosen by oneself, and it is good to go right; If you make a mistake, come back! Nothing in the world can knock you down, it's always your own heart that knocks you down! Even without a letter of recommendation, I think fate will give him a more appropriate answer...... Predict what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
