Chapter 15 Drinking and Spitting the Truth
In the Jiyi Building in the evening, the crowd is full of people, and there is an endless lively scene.
The students who finished the exam were eating wine and food, but they were in a trance, depressed, and some did not know the taste of food. More people gathered in the store to drink and fight, and shouted loudly when they drank high, completely losing the elegant appearance of the past with polite and polite qualities. I finally got rid of the huge pressure of the scientific examination, and I had to worry about whether I could go to high school in a hurry. The uncertainty of the future makes each of them worried, is it the title of the gold list, once for the king's side? is still famous in Sun Mountain, and the efforts of half a lifetime have been in vain, no one can say.
In the center of the store, several students gathered around a table, holding the existing incense table burning paper in the store, and asked the guys to carry the sand table, invited Luan to drive, and a wooden pen hung under a big T-shaped stick - this is called Fuping, which is said to be able to predict good luck and evil. One of them burned incense and prayed in a matter-of-fact manner, and one of them held up the frame, only to see the wooden pen move like a fly, and drew a few circles on the sand table in a row, and then pulled a horizontally, and I don't know what was drawn.
A group of Confucian scholars want to rely on such superstitious means to predict fate, they really don't ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods, Lu Qixiang looked at it on the side and felt funny, and remembered what the master of the door said when he was chatting a few days ago:
"When this candidate entered the house, when he first entered, he carried a basket barefoot, like a beggar; The roll call was introduced, the curtain official scolded him, and the soap subordinate reprimanded, like a prisoner; When I entered the number room, the hole stretched out my head, and the room showed my feet, like a frozen bee at the end of autumn; After the exam, his expression was in a trance, the sky and the earth changed color, like a sick bird out of the cage......" Li Zhi drank wine and said with a smile, "I went back to the next place and waited for the news, like sitting on pins and needles, dreaming of peace, like a monkey being tied to a rope; Once there is no name on the list, his expression changes suddenly, like a mourning exam; Not long after, the itching of the qi level technique and the wooden camp nest again, like a dove holding broken eggs, this is the seven! ”
"Your auspicious building is the candidate's foothold, these seven seem to be the most vividly reflected in you, it is worth seeing, it can be regarded as a scene in the capital, haha!" Li Zhi looked at the annoyed looks of the students, and said with a smile indifferently.
The owner is a hard person to mess with! Thinking of the look of excitement on Li Zhi's face when he said this, Lu Qixiang thought.
Now there is one such person in the store!
Lu Qixiang observed for a long time, and in the compartment on the second floor, there was a man with a thin figure and a handsome appearance, wearing a dark robe, and a sword on the table, who did not look like a scholar. While drinking wine, he watched the students downstairs helping them with great interest, and his expression was the same as that of the door owner!
Lu Qixiang felt a little strange, stopped the guy who was about to serve the food, and personally delivered the food to the man's table, and looked at it, this person was none other than the guest who had fought with the door owner before, Qi Er's cousin, called Wan Niang.
I don't forget, this is Lu Qixiang's housekeeping skills, the people who have met once, the name, body shape, appearance and even preferences can be firmly engraved in the mind, and they are carefully entertained according to their preferences, and the guests who come and go, whether they are nobles or ordinary scholars, all praise him. Thinking about what the door master had explained, all the people who followed Qi Er that day, no matter who they were, had to go to the bamboo forest behind to see the door master. Thinking of this, Lu Qixiang hurriedly smiled at Su Wan
"Isn't this Miss Wan! It's really a distinguished guest, and it's a long way to go! Speaking of which, you have a deep friendship with Lord Li Zhi, and Lord Li Zhi is now resting in the back, do you want to pay a visit? ”
"The shopkeeper's good memory." Su Wan was a little surprised, "I was also about to see him, and I was tired of leading the way." ”
Su Wan couldn't find out the details of Li Zhi, and was a little bored, just by creating an opportunity for Xiao Zhi and Fang Fei, she went out of the palace to drink, thinking about relaxing and relieving her boredom. Somehow, I walked to Jiyi Tower, and was recognized by Lu Qixiang, thinking that I would come, so I might as well go and see this mortal enemy!
In the bamboo forest, Li Zhi looked at the information coming from all over the country while eating, the three dynasties have recently recruited troops and horses, and it seems that there is a big move, and the Later Han Dynasty has sent many additional people to other countries to spread the doctrine, with ill intentions...... All countries are ready to move, only Qi is as still as water, but this is the precursor to the coming storm, and he is in the center!
Lu Qixiang's voice came from outside the door, "Mr. Li Zhi, Miss Wan is here to visit." ”
It has been a while since the imperial examination, and Li Zhi knew that Qi Er, or Xiao Zhi should have been called, would send someone to find him, but he didn't expect that this person was Su Wan or came alone.
Beauty tricks? Thinking of Su Wan looking like she was going to eat him before, she felt that it was unlikely. He was a little curious, "Please come in." ”
I saw Su Wan dressed as a man, her dark robe lined with a complexion as crystal as snow, her hair was simply tied up, her charming face was a little more heroic, her long eyebrows were tactful, and her apricot eyes were affectionate, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
It is said that the beauty is in the bones and not in the skin, probably that's it, but the beauty in front of him is better to be more enthusiastic about himself, Li Zhi thought.
"Long time no see." Su Wan sat opposite Li Zhi and said with a look of resentment.
"Ah, what a rare guest, Miss Wan came to the Humble House, didn't she come to follow the next showdown?"
"No, I happened to come out today to relieve my boredom and drink."
"Don't you have to take care of that cousin today?"
"My cousin has a confidante by his side, and I think it's a good fit." Su Wan quipped, "So, let this confidante take care of my cousin, so I can relax a little bit and worry less." “
"In this case, then I'll have a drink with the girl." After speaking, let Lu Qixiang go to get the wine and food. "Isn't the girl coming alone, aren't you afraid that it will be bad for you?"
"If you dare to do anything to me, you won't see the sun tomorrow." Su Wan picked up the sword beside her.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
After three rounds of drinking, Su Wan was slightly drunk, her face flushed slightly, and she unconsciously talked more.
"What about Guo Zhang? Why didn't you see him. ”
"He, he's in a mess after the exam, where should he go with Aunt Cui now?"
"Everyone in the world is the same, what is the meaning of those who suffer from gains and losses for the sake of fame?" Su Wan took another sip of wine, "Being an official is not necessarily a good thing, how good it is to go with the flow, forcing it is like trapping yourself in a cage." ”
"Guo Zhang wrote an article that was a bit out of line, and now he is so scared that he can't do it, and he is in a trance every day," Li Zhi said, and then poured Su Wan a glass of wine and made a gesture of please.
"Eh, it's all written, what are you afraid of, this person is really." Su Wan unceremoniously took the wine glass and drank it all.
"It's normal for him to be afraid, if that article falls into the hands of someone with a heart, he will suffer." Li Zhiyi pointed out, "It's just that I don't know what the examiners think yet." ”
"You can tell him not to worry because he didn't get his exam papers in there. The king withheld his scroll, although out of line, but to the point, every word of gold and stone. Su Wan sneered, "The king appreciates it very much, and said that he wants to reuse him, but I want to congratulate him, or rather, I want to congratulate you!" “
"I don't understand this, how does the girl know?"
"If you don't understand, you should know in your heart that although Guo Zhang is reckless, he will not do such an outrageous thing, unless someone is bewitched." Su Wan suddenly picked up the chopsticks and pressed them against Li Zhi's neck, "Who are you?" What is the purpose? “
"Ah, I'm just a businessman, doing business and making money." Li Zhi didn't dodge, just waved his hand. "The girl drank too much."
"Eh, I know." Su Wan withdrew her hand, sat back, and then drank, "I'll check it myself, that's it." “
"Did the girl find out anything?"
"A lot of them were found, but I don't know if it's true or not. But looking at your Taoist routines, it also has a lot of origins. Su Wan poured another glass of wine, "I have seen a kind of swordsmanship called Zhou Gong before, which is based on gossip, and the moves are strange and unpredictable. Hiding without making a move, as soon as you shoot, you will hit the vital point, kill with one move, you can attack and retreat and defend, you need a strong Dao force to support, you also need to think quickly about countermeasures, and it is also known as the sword of the strategist. You're probably the one who swordsmanship. “
This woman is keen, and she can guess eight or nine. Li Zhi didn't answer, and said with a slight smile: "It seems that the girl has been training in the rivers and lakes for a long time." “
"That's right." Speaking of this, Su Wan was a little annoyed, holding her face with one hand, still beating with chopsticks in the other, and muttering in her mouth, "You made it a thunder way, you already used my waterway, and you used Zhou Gong's swordsmanship, and the usual routine didn't work." It's hard for me to win you........ That's why I hate you, you can't win and you can't see through. “
"Why would the girl take care of her cousin when she was wandering around the rivers and lakes?" Li Zhi poured Su Wan another glass of wine.
"Probably because there's nowhere else to go." Su Wan was completely drunk this time, and her speech was a little slurred, "The birds in the sky are tired of flying and have to go back to the nest to rest, but I don't have such a place." The old lady and my cousin treated me very well, so naturally I had to repay them. “
"Do you think this place is your nest?"
"The land of right and wrong, of course not. But there must be a beginning and an end, at the very least, do my best to get them through this. “
"What if you can't hold on?"
"If you become a king or lose a king, people will die after all, and it is worth dying for my important people." Su Wan laughed at herself, "It was before, and it is now, I am always hovering between life and death, and I am used to it." Everyone has their own fate, and when they want to die, they can't hide, how did that sentence come about? “
"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." Li Zhi seemed to know her thoughts, and said casually.
"Yes, yes, that's it." Su Wan repeated intermittently, "Life... Proud... Have fun, don't make... Gold Bottle... Air-to-Moon. Eh, you're my confidant. Although it was annoying, okay, I'll go back. ”
Su Wan staggered out, and before she took two steps, she fell to the ground drunk, unconscious.
Li Zhi looked at her playfully, she was cold on weekdays, but it was a chatter after drinking, but it was funny.
And what can be done? It's me who poured too much wine on her, and I'm always responsible for it. Thinking of this, he stood up.....
By the time Su Wan opened her eyes again, it was already noon the next day, lying on the bed, the sun pierced her eyes, and when she got up, she felt her head buzzing again.
Ahhhh......h The feeling of having a hangover is really uncomfortable.
Walking out of the house, the emerald green bamboo comes into view, and the water in the pond is crystal clear. She took a deep breath and sat under the porch to exercise, and after a week, Su Wan opened her eyes and felt refreshed and not so uncomfortable.
"Miss Wan is awake." Li Zhi had been watching quietly from the side, watching her finish the gong and asked.
"Ahh
"Doesn't the girl ask what happened yesterday? For example, why did the girl's clothes change to long dresses? And why are you lying in bed? Don't you ask, girl? ”
"I really want to ask, but if I ask, it's like falling into your trap, so I don't want to ask." Su Wan was a little unhappy.
"Actually, yesterday the girl was too drunk and fell to the ground. I asked Aunt Cui to change and bathe the girl, and helped her to the bed to sleep well, nothing happened, the girl can rest assured. Li Zhi looked like he had succeeded in his conspiracy, "The girl should also be more vigilant, otherwise it will be dangerous to run into a villain." “
"I know." Su Wan didn't expect that she would be so drunk that she would be unconscious, and yesterday's incident was not in her plan at all! She tried to calm herself down, "You also know my identity roughly now, and you have another purpose, so naturally you won't do anything to me." “
So you still don't know much about men, men are animals who think with their lower bodies, seeing a defenseless beautiful woman lying in front of you, anyone will have a little crooked thoughts, Li Zhi thought.
What's more, it's a woman I like very much.
"I'm going back, goodbye." Su Wanyan was concise, "Most of yesterday's words were drunken words, don't take it seriously, forget it all." “
"Won't you leave after lunch?" Li Zhiwan said, "If you spit out the truth after drinking, I have taken the girl's words to heart." “
"All-all-forget-got! Dare to say a word that won't spare you! ”
"Fight, fight"
"Yesterday's incident was purely accidental, and when I find out who you are, let's have a showdown."
"You don't have to." He looked into her eyes and said seriously. "My name is Shen Lian, and I am the master of Rashomon."
"You are Shen Lian? No wonder it can't be found. She looked straight at him, too, without flinching. My name is Su Wan. “
"Please tell your cousin this sentence, and say that Shen Lian, the master of Rashomon, is waiting in Jiyi Building."
