Chapter 142: Breeze, Spring Rain, Youth

"The boy listened to the rain song upstairs, and the red candles were dim. In the prime of life, listening to the rain in the passenger boat, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the geese are calling the west wind. Now listening to the rain monk's house, the temples have stars. The joys and sorrows are always ruthless, and the pre-step drips until dawn. ”

Jiang Jie's "Poppy Beauty", with the vicissitudes of life, joys and sorrows, once made me break my intestines for no reason when I was young.

When I was young, I listened to the rain, and because of my own sentimentality, I always felt that it was a tear from people, or a tear of compassion from God.

In short, it is related to all sorrows, it is an out-of-control emotional catharsis of heaven or man, and it is a vivid and incisive after helplessness. When I was a carefree teenager, I only learned to "say sorrow for new words", but as an adult, I experienced too many hardships and setbacks, but I unexpectedly became a lot more open-minded, even if it was bitter, I could also enjoy it.

Now listening to the rain, I feel that this is a gift from heaven, which suppresses the floating dust, purifies the air, and returns the world to a fresh and clear place.

The rain in early spring always makes people feel a little depressed, and they can't stop for a few days, the spring breeze blows, with a moist chill on people's faces, which makes people can't help but feel a little cool, Li Chengqian hid in the window on the show floor and looked at the spring rain outside, and his heart gradually became a little happy.

Yan Yan blushed and looked a little helpless, peeked at Li Chengqian on the side from time to time, bit his lower lip lightly, remembered the situation when he protected himself under him, and his heart was full of joy.

He's really gentle.

"The white spring shirt is newly made. Quasi-proposed Cailan repair. Covering the sun and walking in the dust, how can it be as cloudy as a year. Stay. Stay. It's not like it's hard to get around. ”

The jingling piano sound is in the ears, the timbre is beautiful, the tune is melodious, Wan'er sits cramped in the guest seat, the chopsticks on the table are still just put up, they have not moved, but the water and wine on the side are a little less, seeing Li Chengqian looking at himself, he helplessly picked up the cup respectfully with both hands and took a sip gently.

The wine was spicy, Yan Yan gently stuck out his tongue, and Li Chengqian, who saw it, laughed again, the two of them wanted to see each other every once in a while, and after a long time, it became a habit, either for Xiaobai's affairs, or the two of them had each other's shadows in their hearts, and they couldn't tell the truth.

"You should eat, you should drink, you are allowed to drink with me when you come to the table, how can it be more lonely than drinking alone."

Yan Yan pursed her lips, gently picked up the wine glass and took another sip, grabbed the chopsticks and gently pinched a piece of okra, chewing and swallowing slowly is very self-contained.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly, the two of them would go to this show building to eat some meals every time they played, and then a blind stroll in the east and west markets, and over time, the guys and shopkeepers here were also familiar with each other, every time they saw each other, they greeted each other with a smile, and many people also praised the two of them for being a natural pair, listening to these words, Li Chengqian did not refute it, but Yan Yan blushed every time, and he had already decided on a family affair, but these are really not too so-called.

The two were talking, they heard a noise outside, Yan Yan looked up, but saw two groups of people tearing each other at the corner of the street opposite, led by the county order wearing a shirt and wearing a black sand, and the county order was Liu Yuan of Chang'an County.

At this time, Liu Yuanwusha was crooked, blood was flowing on his head, and the bright red blood was soaked in a large area in front of his chest along the droplets condensed by the spring rain.

A few guards armed with horizontal knives were reluctantly rushing a kind of servants, and the surrounding crowd had already gathered around at this time, and they were noisy and unpresentable.

"Brother Qian, it's Wang Qian, the commander of the horses, who had a dispute with Liu Yuan in Chang'an County."

Li Chengqian frowned, last year, the four provinces and fourteen prefectures all received locust plagues, and Liu Yuan has been organizing things in Chang'an County, but the grain in disaster years has always been expensive, and the price of rice in Chang'an has risen from "Dou Wuwen" at the beginning to "Dou Shiwen" now. "Odd goods can be lived, which is the right thing, not to mention that the price of Dou Shiwen is still within the acceptable range.

It's just that these civil officials are like crazy people, and they can't accept the price of this Dou Shiwen no matter what, and order all the private warehouses and official warehouses in the city to open warehouses to balance the price of grain, and the official warehouses are just down, Li Er already has plans to open a warehouse, but the private warehouse is to the blood mold, whether it is or there is no backstage, as long as it is targeted by the county order, it must be opened.

It is estimated that the dispute arose because of this.

Li Chengqian did not intend to get involved in this matter, Wang Qian is his uncle, and Chang'an County can be regarded as impartial law enforcement, although the means are a little strong, but it is not considered to be out of the cabinet, and it is okay to make trouble.

The two went out and took Yan Yan to Landa Temple.

The spring rain was continuous, the air was cold, Li Chengqian walked down the street with his face in his arms, and the pedestrians around him were in a hurry, and occasionally some literati students stood on the bridge in the rain, or laughed with friends, or sang some poems of their predecessors loudly, and occasionally some of them did it themselves.

Thinking about it, it's time to open the imperial examination this year, and the scholars from all over the world gather in one place to show what they have learned, whether it is to contribute to the country, or to fight for a wife and a son, the three-year cold window is the hard work of those days.

"If Brother Qian, if he also participates in the imperial examination, he will definitely be the first."

"Huh? 1st place in which subject? ”

Li Chengqian asked with a smile, at this time, the two of them were shocked to the bridge, and they couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian with a luxurious dress and extraordinary temperament, especially the lady in the man's arms, who looked fresh and beautiful, and smiled like a flower, even if he was not angry in his heart, he couldn't feel any anger.

Yan Yan nodded his lips when he heard this, and smiled: "It's all first." ”

"And how do you see that?"

He grinned embarrassedly, leaned his head on Li Chengqian's shoulder, and said softly: "None of them are good-looking." ”

When everyone heard this, they smiled helplessly, the so-called lover's eyes were like this, I'm afraid that's it.

Li Chengqian rubbed the little girl's head, got off the bridge, and there was the Landa Temple in the distance, but for some reason, he turned to look at the scholars on the bridge for a while, and then smiled slightly.

"Is there a talent test this year?" Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Li Chengqian shook his head, waved his hand at everyone, and said, "If you think it's okay, let's try it." After that, in the amazed eyes of everyone, Shi Shiran went to the Langda Temple in the distance.

"This..."Zhong Juzi frowned and was silent for a long time, and then shook his head with a wry smile, Xiucaike, Xiucaike, that is so easy to test? It's just that among the students, a young man looked at Li Chengqian's departing back and was silent for a long time, and kept muttering the three words Xiucaike in his mind, and the look in his eyes became more and more determined.

"Brother Ma~ You don't really want to try out for talent, do you?" The words of his classmate woke up the young man, he was silent for a while, looked up and smiled: "I~ really want to try." ”
