Shen Guang returned to the Bamboo Garden after Hai Shi, that is, at about ten o'clock in the evening.

Except for Shen Guang's three companions, everyone did not go to rest. Shen Guang handed over a letter to Yan Qing.

"Miss Pei's reply."

Zheng Yanqing hurriedly opened it, lit the light of the candle flame, looked at it at a glance, and then let out a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he was really worried.

It's not that I'm afraid of that Mai Zizhong, but I'm afraid of Mai Zizhong's grandfather, the general of the Pillar Kingdom, Mai Tiecane. Legend has it that when that guy was young, he was a bandit. According to historical records, it is said that this person can go back and forth for hundreds of miles in one night, which is quite similar to the Shenxing Taibao Dai Zong in "Water Margin". At that time, he was the emperor's bodyguard, specializing in making umbrellas for the emperor.

As a result, this guy was holding an umbrella for the emperor during the day, running to rob hundreds of miles away at night, and running back in the early morning.

It sounds a bit mysterious, but it also shows how strong the wheat iron rod is.

Later, Mai Tiezhu followed Yang Guang and was loyal to Yang Guang, and Yang Guang was also extremely fond of Mai Tiecane. It is said that even the princess of Jin at that time was a little unhappy...... Later, Yang Guang became the crown prince, and Mai Tiecane went further. Since then, Yang Guang has fought several times, and the wheat iron staff has made great achievements, and the official road is prosperous.

When Yang Guang became the emperor, this wheat iron rod was even more amazing, and he became the general of the Juzhu Kingdom.

An illiterate guy was actually appointed as a feudal official, which shows that Yang Guang attaches great importance to him.

Zheng Yanqing was really worried, if he provoked the wheat iron rod to come out, wouldn't he be targeted by Yang Guang again?

At the same time, Yan Qing was also worried that because of this gossip, it would affect Changsun Sheng's senses for him. Many things are often bad because of something seemingly insignificant. If Yanqing wants to get further protection, then it is imperative to apprentice to Sun Sheng. It's not easy to dispel rumors, but it's not difficult to clarify.

So Yan Qing wrote a letter and asked Shen Guang to send it to Pei Cuiyun and asked her to come out to meet.

After all, this kind of thing, Pei Cuiyun is not good to stand up and tell everyone: Zheng Yanqing did not insult me, he was saving me at that time.

The more he explained, the more unclear it became, and it is estimated that Pei Cuiyun's mood at the moment is also very depressed.

Therefore, the best way to eliminate gossip is to meet Pei Cuiyun in front of the public.

If Yanqing is really rude to Pei Cuiyun, how can Pei Cuiyun meet him with courtesy?

As long as the gossip is eliminated, even if there are rumors, at most it will be gossip about Pei Cuiyun and Yanqing talented and beautiful women. Originally, there were many celebrities and celebrities in these years, and talented women loved talented people, and it didn't hurt to spread it.

Changsun Sheng naturally dispelled his doubts and accepted Yan Qing as an apprentice.

As long as Changsun Sheng comes forward, as long as Zheng Yanqing can successfully become a disciple of Changsun Sheng, then Mai Zizhong has nothing to worry about. Everyone has a backer, although you Mai Zizhong has a good grandfather, but I also have a good master.

Even if Mai Tiezhu wants to stand up for Mai Zizhong, I'm afraid he will have a little more worries...... In short, as long as Pei Cuiyun is willing to come out and meet Yanqing, this matter will be counted in one fell swoop, and it will be good for everyone.

Pei Cuiyun also seemed to understand Yan Qing's intentions, and apologized repeatedly in the letter, saying that it was because of her affairs that Yan Qing was in trouble. However, Yanqing originally asked her to meet at noon, but she said that she would go to the White Horse Temple with her mother early in the morning to offer incense, and she might not be able to come back at noon. Therefore, Pei Cuiyun and Yanqing made an appointment, and after the Ming Dynasty, they met at the Dading Restaurant in Fengdu.

Shenshi, that is, around 3 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon, is the most lively time period in Fengdu.

"Which one is Dading Restaurant?"

Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but ask with some doubts.

Shen Guang said: "It was the Tianhe Restaurant in Fengdu before, and the business was very good, but I heard that it was transferred to a Xiangzhou businessman a few days ago. ”

"Business is good, but still transfer?"

Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but feel a little strange, and turned his head to look at the male sledgehammer.

"Don't look at me, I don't know much about this, maybe Xiongwei knows a little. I never care about these things, the industries in Fengdu City are all taken care of by the Zhang family, and in addition to being responsible for providing goods, I am waiting for the money. ”

Shen Guang said: "I don't know the specific situation, anyway, a guest said earlier that the shopkeeper of Tianhe Restaurant didn't know what trouble he had caused, so he hurriedly gave the business to the businessman in Xiangzhou, and then the family left Luoyang." But I heard that the Xiangzhou businessman is quite powerful, and it is said that after a while, he will invite Tang Qinghe and Tang to come to Luoyang to perform......"

Tang Qinghe, a native of Zhuo County, is a singer.

Outstanding in singing and dancing, good at various musical instruments, and proficient in poetry, he is extremely famous in the north. If in later generations, he will probably be a powerful all-round singer and big name, and he has a very good relationship with the powerful people of the current dynasty and the tycoons from all over the world, and is respected as the 'Tang family'.

Previously, this Tang Qinghe was mainly in Hebei and Guanzhong, and rarely came to Luoyang to perform.

The owner of this Dading restaurant can invite Tang Qinghe over, presumably in addition to the high appearance fee, he also has a strong background. Otherwise, ordinary businessmen don't talk about inviting Tang Qinghe to perform, I'm afraid it won't be easy to even see her.

Zheng Yanqing has no interest in who the owner of Dading Restaurant is!

Similarly, he was not interested in whether Tang Qinghe would come to Luoyang to perform...... "Qingwa'er, why don't you take Shen Guang with you tomorrow." ”

Maybe it was Shen Guang's warning before that made Wang Zheng a little worried, so he walked to Yan Qing's side and made suggestions to him.

"Oh, not really!"

Zheng Yanqing thought about it and rejected Wang Zheng's kindness, "There are a lot of things to do tomorrow, and I go to see Miss Pei, what danger can I have?"

By the way, Brother Shen, what weapons are you used to?

Grandpa Xiong is a good hand at crafting weapons, let him help you build a good weapon, and you can also protect it in the future. ”

"I like to use long knives!"

Shen Guang's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at the male sledgehammer.

Male Sledgehammer nodded, "Then let's do it, you can tell me in detail in a while, some of your requirements, I will go to the city tomorrow to arrange this matter." ”

"So, thank you, old man."

Shen Guang retreated, and Zheng Yanqing also said goodbye and returned to his residence.

This night, Yan Qing slept restlessly, tossing and turning on the couch. There were a lot of things going on today, grandpa Zheng Shi'an suddenly returned to Xingyang with Zheng Renji, and this kind of scandal happened on his side. Yan Qingsuo turned over and sat up, holding his legs and thinking about the ins and outs of these two things.

Zheng Dashi is critically ill, and he wants to see Zheng Shi'an, but there seems to be nothing excessive.

But Zheng Yanqing didn't feel very down-to-earth...... As for the scandal, it seems to be a little inexplicable. At that time, when I was in Luopu Library, although Yan Qing and Pei Xingyan first had a conflict because of a misunderstanding, they seemed to have explained it clearly. Why are there such rumors?

If this rumor was deliberately spread, then what is its purpose?

In the previous life, the ups and downs of the sea made Zheng Yanqing always think about the bad first, so that he could be invincible.

After thinking about it, Yan Qing couldn't think of anyone who wanted to get along with him. Mai Zizhong is even more unlikely...... Zheng Yanqing has never seen this Mai Zizhong, so naturally there is no grudge. And Mai Zizhong pursued Pei Cuiyun, and it was impossible to detain such a basin. If it's not Mai Zizhong, who will it be? Zheng Yanqing stood up and pushed open the window.

The cold wind poured into the study building, causing the charcoal fire of the brazier to flicker and darken.

The two little mastiffs widened their eyes and looked at him curiously as early as when Yan Qing sat up.

At this time, he also ran over, biting the corner of his clothes and whining softly. Yan Qing squatted down and held the two little mastiffs in his arms.

The moon is round, but slightly cold.

A few clouds floated leisurely, and it seemed to be very pleasant...... I hope that everything is my own cranky thinking; Hopefully, this is just a misunderstanding, and there is no conspiracy in it.

―――――――――――――――――――――――― the next day, two little mastiffs woke up Yanqing.

When I opened my eyes, the sky was already bright, and there seemed to be some noise outside the bamboo building.

Zheng Yanqing slept a little late yesterday, so he couldn't get up in the morning. He put on his clothes, washed himself with water, and walked out of the bamboo building.

Xu Shiji was learning knives with Wang Zheng in the open space outside the bamboo building, and he was very disciplined at a glance.

Several craftsmen built sheds at the back of the building, while Shen Guang led Yuhojun and walked leisurely in the forest and walked his horses.

Strange to say, this Jade Hoof Junping said that except for Yanqing, he didn't like others to approach.

But he was not exclusive to Shen Guang, and followed him very meekly. It seems that the male sledgehammer said that Shen Guang is good at raising horses, but it is not a lie. Yan Qing has always wanted to find a groom, after all, he can't take care of Yuhojun every day.

Well, now a Shen Guang has not only solved the problem of guards, but also solved the problem of the horseman.

Yan Qing hasn't seen Shen Guang's skills yet, but there is no vanity under the fame, so it must not be bad. Besides, there are no things of much value in this bamboo garden, and a few guards are enough to deter those suspicious homeless.

"Yanqing, listen to Xiao Nian, you didn't sleep well last night?"

Wang Zheng finished correcting Xu Shiji's posture of taking out the knife and walked over wiping his sweat.

"Oh, it's okay."

Mao Xiaonian lives downstairs from him, and if there is any movement upstairs, he must not be able to hide from her. It's just that Yan Qing didn't expect that the girl didn't rest.

So he asked, "What about Xiao Nian?" ”

"Oh, I went into the city with Mao Wang to buy something. Don't mention it, the addition of four or five people at once has made it a lot more interesting here...... Mao's sister-in-law was cooking in the back, and when Mao Wang left, she said that there were many things to do in the city today, and she wouldn't come back at noon. After a while, the bamboo shed will be built, and we will be ready to go. The sledgehammer also went into the city. ”

The male sledgehammer entered the city, presumably for the weapons of Shen Guang and several people.

Yan Qing nodded, ran around the bamboo forest with two little mastiffs, and then rested for a while, and Sister-in-law Mao prepared a meal.

After lunch, Zheng Yanqing took a nap again.

After reading a book for a while in the afternoon, I saw that the time was almost up, so I rode on my horse and rushed to Luoyang City.

Fengdu is very large, more than two miles long and about one mile wide, which is particularly prosperous.

It is not only a gathering of merchants from all over the world under the rule of the Great Sui Dynasty, but also Hu merchants outside the Saiwai, as well as all kinds of strange overseas merchants.

The goods are also dazzling, and there are countless varieties.

Dading Restaurant is located at the southern end of Fengdu City, occupying a whole row of streets. An extremely magnificent building, about a mile long, is extremely eye-catching in Fengdu. The restaurant has been rebuilt, with red tiles and white walls, and the word 'Dading' is written on the horizontal plaque at the door.

If you look closely at the payment, it will surprise again.

It is the book of the world's calligrapher Zhiyong...... This plaque alone has become a status symbol.

Ordinary people who want to come to this kind of place to eat and watch singing and dancing have to consider whether their pockets are sufficient.

Yan Qing dismounted in front of the door, and there were neatly dressed guys inside, who greeted him very warmly.

"This son, but you want to take a break?"

Eating is not called eating, it is called resting. Zheng Yanqing smiled and handed the reins to the man, "I'm here to see a friend, please find me a seat near the window, but quiet." ”

Near the window, it means to be eye-catching, but it must be quiet and not noisy.

Nowadays, there are many children of officials and eunuchs in Luoyang City, and it is not uncommon for teenagers to call friends out to eat and drink.

Although Yan Qing was only ten years old, he had a slender body and looked a little older than his actual age.

In addition, he is well-dressed and has an extraordinary bearing.

The white dragon horse under the crotch is a BMW horse that is hard to find, so this guy did not show any slackness.

"Please come in!"

The man ordered someone to take Jade Hoof Jun to a separate stable.

He knows that most of these good horses are very arrogant. If you stay in the same stable with a mortal horse, God knows what will go wrong.

Seeing that the guy was doing it in an orderly manner, Yanqing was relieved.

He followed his fellow up to the second floor and sat down in a place near the window, but surrounded by a screen.

Guests can see the upstairs from downstairs at a glance, and the environment is not very noisy.

It seems that at the beginning of the design of this restaurant, the various thoughts of the guests have been calculated. If it is in the future life, I am afraid that he will also be a business wizard.

When Zheng Yanqing was sighing, the guy brought some snacks and tea.

He sipped his tea as he tasted it slowly.

In about a quarter of an hour, a carriage came downstairs.

I saw Pei Cuiyun getting off the carriage with the support of a little maid. Several generals in bright armor guarded the carriage around it.

"Miss Pei!"

Zheng Yanqing suddenly poked out and shouted loudly.

While shouting, he also waved his hand, attracting many people's attention to this side.

"Hey, isn't that half-edge-kun?"

"Where? Where? ”

"The white-clothed little Langjun who waved upstairs is Banyuanjun...... Hmm, who is that girl? ”

"It seems to be the son-in-law of Pei Langjiang."

"Miss Pei?" Someone couldn't help but be surprised, "I heard someone say before that Banyuanjun once insulted Miss Pei on the street, but looking at this posture, it doesn't seem to be like that." ”

"Nonsense, what kind of person is Banyuan-kun, how can he do that kind of thing? I didn't believe it from the beginning, and only you people do. ”

"Hey, you told me about that......"

"Bah, how could I possibly do such a thing? Did you see it, Miss Pei still smiled at Banyuanjun...... In my opinion, indecent assault is not necessarily, but what about it...... Miss Pei had a reputation as a talented woman in Chang'an back then, and Banyuanjun was a rare talent in a century. It's possible for this beautiful woman, but I never believe in indecent words. ”

“……”

In any case, the purpose of Yan Qing's voice has finally been achieved.

Presumably, it won't take tonight, and the previous gossip will be self-defeating. As for the next troubles, as long as he no longer wants to avoid contact with Pei Cuiyun as much as possible, it will naturally be diluted. However, it cannot be denied that Pei Cuiyun does have the charm to attract Zheng Yanqing. She is talented and eloquent, and seems to have a wide range of knowledge.

Yan Qing and Pei Cuiyun sat at the window, chatting.

With the company of beautiful women, time flies quickly, and it is also very pleasant.

Pei Cuiyun's surname is gentle, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's just that she occasionally reveals her tone, hoping that Zheng Yanqing can make some new poems.

This makes Zheng Yanqing a little embarrassed!

"Zheng Gongzi, I haven't heard of a new poem in the past three years, and my uncle often asks.

Today, the sky is good, why don't you give a poem to the son, and let the uncle get what he wants......"

This is the nth time that a request has been made, from the beginning of 'study', to now even Pei Shiju has been carried out, Pei Cuiyun seems to be full of interest, a pair of beautiful eyes flowing, looking at Zheng Yanqing, quite expectant.

Zheng Yanqing has a headache!

For one, he really didn't want to steal the Psalms anymore; Second, he didn't want to steal the Psalms.

Scratching his head, Zheng Yanqing smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Pei, it's not Yanqing's hypocrisy, it's just that this article is natural, and it ...... a clever hand."

Phew...... It's really used to stealing!

Pei Cuiyun's eyes lit up, "The article is natural, and the clever hand is it...... Very wonderful, very wonderful, I would like to hear the verses behind. ”

Zheng Yanqing couldn't wait to slap himself...... Or steal another song from him. At least if others want to force him to write poetry again in the future, they can also use this to excuse themselves.

"It's just not flawed, how can it be artificial."

Pei Cuiyun's eyes were even brighter, and she couldn't help but stroke her palms again and again, and said coquettishly: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful...... Sure enough, good poetry! ”

She turned her head and shouted outside, "Man, get a pen and paper." ”

Since the inquirer said that the famous Banyuanjun was upstairs, the guys from the Dading Restaurant had prepared pen and paper.

Hearing Pei Cuiyun's greeting, he hurriedly ran over with a pen and paper.

However, he couldn't enter the screen, and his own Pei family's family would stop him, take the pen and paper, and then put it on the dining table.

Pei Cuiyun picked up a pen and wrote poems on paper.

Writing a word and pronouncing a 'wonderful', Zheng Yanqing, who was only ashamed, sat there, quite uncomfortable.

"Banyuanjun, this poem seems to be unfinished, Cuiyun is willing to hear good sentences."

"This ......" Zheng Yanqing sighed in his heart, "I only said it when I felt something in my heart for a while." ”

"Hehe, Banyuanjun's reputation for exporting chapters, Cuiyun has heard it for a long time."

"Hehehe!" Zheng Yanqing smiled embarrassedly, took a breath, thought about it and said, "You look at the ancient Yi utensils, you are clumsy and clumsy. The Han Dynasty has recently pre-Qin, and it has been very pure. What is the Hu Department, Haozhu mixed with mourning. After the repetition, who will be with the period for a thousand years. ”

The verses of the article are supposed to be natural, but I was lucky enough to get one by chance.

If I were to be forced to compose poetry, wouldn't it become flawed?

After Pei Cuiyun finished writing, she gently blew dry the ink on the paper.

The cherry lips were upturned, which was extremely demagogic, which made Zheng Yanqing's heart flutter, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at it again.

"It's worth the trip today, I can get half of the masterpiece, and my uncle will be very happy when he comes back."

You're happy, but I'm not!

Zheng Yanqingqiang laughed, and after chatting with Pei Cuiyun for a while, he saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Pei Cuiyun.

Luoyang will close the city gates at Hai Shi, and he must leave Luoyang before Hai Shi.

Pei Cuiyun was not embarrassed, and the two walked out of the screen side by side. got a good work, Pei Cuiyun was very happy.

When the two walked out of the restaurant talking and laughing, the lights were shining.

Pei Cuiyun was sent to the carriage, and suddenly raised the curtain of the carriage and said: "Uncle Ancestor will return to Luoyang after the spring, if Zheng Gongzi has nothing important, don't leave." Uncle Zu wrote that he hoped to meet his son when he returned. ”

"Huh?"

Zheng Yanqing was stunned, Pei Cuiyun had already lowered the curtain.

What did Pei Shiju do when he saw me?

Yan Qing took the reins from the hands of the restaurant guys, and with doubts, he turned over and left Fengdu along the wide street.

(To be continued)
