Chapter 27: The Poor Scholar

Yunzhong County is not very rich among the eleven counties of the Northern Confucian Kingdom, but the city covers a large area, with a radius of nearly 30 miles, which is rare among many counties in the Northern Confucian Kingdom.

At this moment, on a street paved with bluestone slabs, a young girl jumped forward.

"Song Gongzi, what do you think of this jade pendant, will it look good on me?"

The streets are wide enough for four horse-drawn carriages to walk side by side, and even if there are small vendors setting up stalls on the side of the street, it will not interfere with the movement of pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages.

The girl stopped in front of a small stall selling jade jewelry, picked up a piece of jade and looked at it, a little in love.

Beside her, stood a very handsome young man in a Confucian shirt.

This young man is the Song Gongzi in the girl's mouth.

I saw that Song Gongzi quietly touched the shriveled money bag, and said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "Nangong girl, this jade pendant is really good, but it is just that I went out on this trip, and I didn't ...... it."

Before he could finish speaking, the girl had already bought the jade pendant.

"No, what I gave to you should be a token of love. ”

The girl placed the jade pendant in the young man's hand and winked playfully at him.

The young man surnamed Song was obviously too thin-skinned, holding the jade pendant, and said a little at a loss: "Nangong girl, this is ...... That's not good......"

"Oh, how can you be a big man more twisted than me, since I gave it to you, you can honestly take it. ”

"But ......"

"But what?"

The girl's eyes widened, deliberately looking fierce.

"Uh, no...... It's nothing. ”

The young man had long been familiar with her temper, and after all, he still did not say the rest of the sentence.

In fact, what he wants to say is that he is married, and his wife is from the same country as him, and she is also a big family.

Although he didn't want to get married so early, since his family had already helped him take care of it inside and out, he couldn't learn from that prodigal son and have a vigorous escape from marriage.

But fortunately, not long after he got married, he had to go on a long trip.

In this way, he didn't have to face the new wife who had a good temper and posture all day, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he really doesn't know how to get along with women, even if he is married and has to sleep in the same room with his wife, he can not talk without talking.

He even sincerely felt that dealing with women was far less interesting than dealing with books.

Throughout the ages, I don't know how many heroes and writers have been recorded in books, and it is a great pleasure in life to be able to make friends with their predecessors.

The young man's name is Song Zhishu.

People live up to their name.

Seeing that the other party accepted the jade pendant, the girl bent her eyebrows happily.

Song Zhishu looked at the girl's smiling side face, and his heart moved, feeling that this was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen.

"Miss, this is the money I found for you. ”

The girl didn't ask the price just now, and threw a piece of silver to the stall owner.

To be honest, the jade jewelry on this stall is not a good workmanship, and the jade material also has many flaws.

The stall owner was still a little self-aware, and did not accept all the ten taels of silver with a clear conscience, but found the extra money to the girl at the normal price.

"No, it's just your hard-earned money. ”

After the girl finished speaking, she took Song Zhishu's arm and continued shopping.

The stall owner immediately smiled and said something nice behind the two: "I wish the two of you to get married as soon as possible and grow old." ”

He sincerely envied the young man in his heart, although he had no money, he had a rich daughter who liked it so much, it was simply a blessing from his previous life.

It's like him, he didn't get his mother-in-law until he was in his thirties.

And the figure and appearance of the mother-in-law in her own house are compared with the girl just now...... Hey, it's still not comparable, it hurts self-esteem.

The two walked around the street for a long time, and the girl bought a lot of rouge gouache, which was her favorite category, but the price was much cheaper than that of Julu County.

If it weren't for the fact that the girl saw that Song Gongzi couldn't take it in his hand, she would definitely buy more bottles and cans.

Song Zhishu looked up at the sun, and said helplessly: "Nangong girl, my uncle and aunt said that we must go back before noon, but it's not too early now, let's ......."

"Huh?" the girl turned her head and pursed her mouth.

Song Zhishu stopped talking with interest.

"Yan'er!"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.

The girl named Nangong Yan turned to look, her eyes were first joyful, and then she began to be annoyed.

What, didn't you say that I would accompany Song Gongzi to go shopping, why are you in such a hurry now?

I saw an extremely spacious and comfortable carriage slowly stopping beside Nangong Yan and Song Zhishu.

A middle-aged woman opened the curtain of the carriage door and said with a serious face: "Yan'er, hurry up and get in the car, let's hurry to Zhenlongshan." ”

The middle-aged woman's name is Nangong Yu, and she is the sect leader of the Ziwei Sect of Julu County.

The elderly coachman who wears a hat and is responsible for driving the carriage is the deacon elder of the Ziwei Sect.

Behind the carriage, there were two jujube red horses, one of which was sitting on a middle-aged man, and the other was empty.

Together with Nangong Yan and Song Zhishu, a group of five people traveled thousands of miles from Julu County, and the destination was the extremely remote Zhenlong Mountain.

Originally, Nangong Yan was not in the itinerary plan, but this sect master's daughter, who had always been spoiled, had to follow her out to open her eyes, and the Nangong sect master had no choice but to nod and agree.

Nangong Yu was not in a hurry about this trip to Zhenlong Mountain, she wanted to stay in Yunzhong County for a few more days, but just now she suddenly received a secret letter, which temporarily changed her mind.

Nangong Yan is just a sixteen-year-old girl after all, and she has a lot of fun.

I saw her pouting and said, "Mother, I haven't played enough, Yunzhong County is so big, and there are many Fang cities I haven't been to." ”

"Don't mess around, get in the car quickly!"

"I don't, I don't ......"

Song Zhishu looked at the girl next to him and couldn't help but smile slightly.

It's not that he thinks Nangong Yan is messing around, he just thinks that the girl is very cute, like a little sister next door who hasn't grown up yet.

Nangong Yu really had no choice, so with a wave of his sleeves, he forcibly detained his daughter into the carriage.

"Song Gongzi, let me make you laugh, let's start on our way. ”

Nangong Yugui is the head of a sect of the Ziwei Sect, but he is respectful to a poor scholar who can't even afford a jade pendant.

Sensing that the sect master had lowered the curtain, the deacon elder whipped his horsewhip, and the carriage began to move slowly.

The middle-aged man rode to Song Zhishu's side, did not speak, and handed him the reins of the other horse.

Song Zhishu turned over and got on the horse, his movements were very chic, and he didn't look like a weak scholar who was powerless.

"Uncle Guo, thank you very much for taking care of you along the way. ”

Guo Xun looked ahead, and said expressionlessly: "It should be, Your Highness." ”
