Chapter 52: Where We Don't Meet in Life (2)
"Oh? Are you the Jizhou Niu Tianci who exterminated the barbarian cavalry and wrote the "Song of Righteousness"? The young man in brocade looked at Niu Tianci with a look of surprise.
"It's down there. I don't know my brother's surname? ”
"The younger brother's name is Rong Xing, and his family lives in Fengtian. I was ordered by my teacher to go out to study, but I didn't want to meet the famous young man Niu Tianci here, and the younger brother felt very honored. Is Brother Tianci also going on a study tour, where is this going? If you and my brother have a companion, we will save the loneliness along the way. ”
"I also went out to study on the orders of my teacher, and I plan to go to Fengtian to see it. It is said that it is a place where people from all over the world gather, and it is a must-visit for students. ”
"Brother God's erroneous. Although Fengtian is the imperial capital, it is nothing more than more people and more prosperous. We should not go to those prosperous places when we travel to study, but should travel all over the famous mountains and rivers, visit the hidden sages, and listen to their teachings, so as to go further in knowledge. I don't know if Brother Tianci thinks what the younger brother said is right? Rong Xing unfolded his fan, proudly inciting.
Wang Meng on the side wanted to give him a lion's roar. To be honest, because of Sun Buer, Wang Meng doesn't like such a son-in-law very much, but feels a little close to Niu Tianci.
"Hehe, what Rong Gongzi said is extremely true, but I don't know where Rong Gongzi plans to go to find Daxian?"
"Haha, Brother Tianci, since you are from Jizhou, you must be a student of Woniu Academy. Wo Niu Academy is well-known in the northern states. But if you talk about the background, it is still not as good as Youzhou Liulin Academy. That is Yan Wushuang's master, so the Duke of Jin Li Gong Chengfeng created it. Since the establishment of Liulin Academy, there have been many ministers and generals. It can really be described as a gathering of famous ministers, and the stars are like clouds. The younger brother planned to go to Liulin Academy to have a look. It is said that in the Liulin Academy, there is still a stone tablet of "The True Meaning of the National War" written by Li Chengfeng himself. The younger brother yearns for this very much, wouldn't it be a pity not to go? Brother Tianci, do you know that Li Chengfeng is respected as a martial saint in my Dayan. "The True Meaning of the National War" is his pinnacle work again. My Dayan Shizi regards this article as a classic, and Brother Tianci must not miss it. ”
Rong Xing is actually the current crown prince Long Xingrong, who has long known Niu Tianci's deeds. He also begged Emperor Suzheng to recruit Niu Tianci into the East Palace to study with him. However, every time he made a request, he was rejected by Emperor Suzheng, on the grounds that the young man's character was undecided, and he was afraid that it would be unfavorable for him to ascend to a high position in the future. It's not too late to wait for Niu Tianci to participate in the imperial examination before making plans.
For this reason, Long Xingrong also begged his uncle Li Ke. But Like's answer was, "Do you think you can handle this person?" ”
Long Xingrong has never seen Niu Tianci, how can he talk about it. Therefore, I had no choice but to give up. But people are like that, the more things you can't get, the more interested you are in them. Half of the reason why Long Xingrong secretly left the palace this time was because he wanted to meet Niu Tianci, but he didn't expect the two of them to meet by chance in Yunzhou.
Niu Tianci couldn't help but secretly agree with Long Xingrong's words. How could Tianci not know the name of Youzhou Liulin Academy. That is where the ancestral home of the Yan family is located. The site of Liulin Academy is Yan Wushuang's hometown, Liulin Fort in Youzhou Mountain Plateau County. After hundreds of years of development, Liulin Fort has become a giant city, and it is now renamed Liulin Mansion. It is also one of the few prefectures in Dayan. Its scale is several times larger than that of Cangshan Mansion.
The grade of the Fu Yin of Liulin Mansion is equivalent to that of the Fu Yin of Jingzhao Mansion. They are all three-grade officials. According to the current statement, Liulin Mansion is equivalent to the level of a municipality directly under the central government. Besides, it is still the fief of the Yan family. And the entire Youzhou is the fief of King Yan. King Yan and the Yan family are inseparable from each other, so there is a saying of "Yanyan family" among the people of Youzhou.
Thinking of this, Niu Tianci decided to go to Youzhou first. Niu Tianci said to Long Xingrong: "Gongzi Rong is right, then let's go to Liulin Academy in Youzhou with Gongzi Rong." ”
"Hahaha, that's great. Brother Tianci, you and I are very close to each other at first sight, and it is not as commensurate as you and my brothers. This makes it seem close. There is trouble left, I don't know what to do with my God-given brother? ”
"It's what I want. I didn't dare to ask for it. Brother Rongxian, the foolish brother is polite. ”
"Hahaha, Brother Niu is polite."
The two of them finished politely, and after some exchanges, it was actually very speculative. The two of them were happy, but Wang Meng on the side was confused. Wang Meng is literate. But it is only a little stronger than ordinary people, and he still can't cope with such a high-level exchange between Niu Tianci and Long Xingrong. When Wang Meng was bored, he saw peach blossoms at a glance. Seeing Peach Blossom looking at Niu Tianci with reverence on her face, Wang Meng was very depressed. The heart said that this is called Niu Tianci, what is good. is full of words, and what he says is incomprehensible. Readers are like this, they have to go around the bend in a simple sentence, it's really tiring. I can't get along with these two nerds, so I'd better go to the army. Wang Meng was thinking about his thoughts, but he didn't pay attention to his eyes and kept staring at Peach Blossom's face.
Peach Blossom sensed that someone was watching him, and looked back and was startled. I saw Wang Meng staring at himself with a pair of copper bell eyes. Peach Blossom is starting to be naughty again. I saw that he first supported his chin with both hands and supported a pretty face, his eyes blinked, and he threw spinach in waves, but Wang Meng didn't react at all. Peach Blossom Heart said that this trick didn't work, isn't it like this every time Xiao Meiren in the palace sees His Majesty? His Majesty couldn't walk when he saw Xiao Meiren like this. This is the true biography that I learned from Xiao Meiren.
So Peach Blossom became competitive, and while recalling Xiao Meiren's appearance, she kept posing in various poses. Wang Meng will be wandering in the soul, where can he see the beauty of peach blossoms. So there was still no response. Wang Meng didn't react, but the reaction of the elders behind him was not ordinary. Didn't you see that the ravioli of the old people have turned into blood wontons? The nosebleeds kept flowing, all thanks to the little demon Peach Blossom.
"Come on, wait for a hurry. Eat it hot, and be careful not to burn it. ”
Aunt Lu and the young man brought wontons, and carefully taught the four of them how to put the condiments. Only then did he see the four of them nodding and turning around to leave with satisfaction. It's time for Aunt Lu to open her eyes today, these four children are more handsome than the other except for the black tower. Seeing that Aunt Lu was overjoyed, she really wanted to pull Boss Ji out of the kitchen so that he could also enjoy it. Aunt Lu turned around and was startled.
"Oh, I mean, you guys, what's going on? Is there too much chili pepper, look at the nosebleeds one by one. Man, hurry up and give a few herbal tea to defeat the fire. ”
Aunt Lu was busy taking care of those who had nosebleeds, not mentioning them for the time being. Wang Meng was really happy about this, and put the five bowls of wontons with the condiments in a few clicks, and took a deep breath of the aroma first. Then take a sip of the hot soup. Well, it's so fragrant. Wang Meng looked at Niu Tianci and Long Xingrong, who were still humble, and he couldn't help but pout. The heart said that it was so hard to eat, and I will let you see my majesty in a while.
Wang Meng didn't care about others, picked up the chopsticks and snorted and chewed violently. To be precise, it should be poured violently, and it is estimated that I didn't even chew it. The other three are still polite. Wang Meng's bowl of wontons has bottomed out. Wang Meng threw down the empty bowl and picked up another bowl, still with a rainbow of momentum.
Whoop, Silly snoring. Wang Meng's huge mouth was like a hole, and the chopsticks were like flying, and in an instant, there were empty bowls in front of him. Wang Meng threw down the empty bowl and shouted, "It's delicious, but it's less." It's just the bottom of the pad. Auntie, eight more bowls. ”
Click, Long Xingrong's chopsticks fell on the table. Anyway, he hasn't eaten a bite. Before he finished talking to Niu Tianci, Wang Meng's five bowls of wontons were swept away. Five big bowls of wontons, Boss Ji is indeed an honest person, each bowl of wonton soup is full of spices, and one bowl is enough for ordinary people. This king is good, the five big bowls have just been padded to the bottom, which is too edible.
Niu Tianci looked at Wang Meng, who seemed to be demonstrating, with interest, and put down the chopsticks in his hand with a smile. Push the two bowls of wontons in front of him towards Wang Meng.
"This brother must be hungry. I haven't moved these two bowls yet. You eat first, I'll wait. ”
"Mine, you can take it and eat it first." Long Xingrong also pushed his wontons to Wang Meng.
Wang Meng laughed and said, "Thank you." Then you're welcome. ”
Whoop, three bowls disappeared in an instant. Wang Meng just put down the empty bowl, only to see Peach Blossom smiling and holding his wonton in front of him.
"Haha, thank you sister. I'll settle the account in a moment. "Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wang Meng ate nine bowls in a row, and then slowed down. Aunt Lu smiled and brought eight bowls of wontons, and the restaurant owner was never afraid of big-bellied people. The more people who can eat, the more popular they are. Aunt Lu put down the wontons and told her to eat something slowly. After Niu Tianci thanked Aunt Lu, he waited until Wang Meng finally chewed slowly before asking him: "Brother, are the wontons delicious?" ”
"It's delicious."
"What's stuffing?"
"Huh? You ask me? Hehe, I don't know. ”
Hahahaha, Long Xingrong patted the table and smiled and bent over. Niu Tianci smiled and said to Long Xingrong, "Brother Rongxian." I think this brother is a heroic man, and I might as well try it after his example, maybe it will taste better. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Looking at the eating appearance of this Wang brother, I also think that eating like this is the only way to taste. Brother Niu, please. ”
The two of them picked up the bowl and slammed it like Wang Meng. Niu Tianci ate four bowls and couldn't eat anymore. Long Xingrong was even more unbearable, and he couldn't hold it after barely eating a bowl and a half. The two shook their heads and put down their chopsticks, only to see Wang Meng glaring at the bull's eye and asking, "What stuffing?" ”
Hahaha, Niu Tianci and Long Xingrong are holding their stomachs. It's not okay to hold it, it's really uncomfortable to be so happy just after eating.
"If you don't tell me, I'll eat it myself."
Wang Meng muttered as he picked up the leftover half bowl of Long Xingrong, and it was another slam of the bowl. While racing, he said: "My master said that a tea and a meal are not easy to come by, and half a thread of perseverance is difficult. Don't dare to waste it, eat. ”
Long Xingrong and Niu Tianci couldn't help but nod their heads and praise, it seems that this Wang Meng has a good master.
"I don't know who Brother Wang's master is?" Long Xingrong asked.
"My master is Master Wuchen, the abbot of Qingzhou Fanlin Zen Temple. I also have a master who is an unknown master, and my martial arts are taught by the unknown master. ”
"I see that Brother Wang has a huge amount of food, and his strength must be amazing. I don't know where Brother Wang is going? Niu Tianci asked.
"I'm naturally strong, and I can kick a pillar that thick. I'm going to Suzhou to join the army. ”
Wang Meng pointed to the beam pillar of the wonton shop with chopsticks and said. The top beams and columns are all made of a thick piece of pine, not to mention kicking such a thick pillar, even with a saw. can kick off the pillars of the roof with one kick, which shows how amazing Wang's strength is. As soon as Niu Tianci saw this, he fell in love with Wang Meng. Now there is no shortage of management talents in his team, but there is a lack of a fierce general who charges into battle, which is just right for Wang Meng. There is also Long Xingrong who has a mind with Niu Tianci, and he doesn't want to let go of Niu Tianci and Wang Meng.
"Brother Wang, I don't think it's as good as this. You come with us, my family has some connections in the army, and when the time comes, I will make up for you and send you to the Royal Lecture Hall for further study. Come out as an officer so you can marry that-"
"Tian Cui." Peach Blossom hurriedly reminded Long Xingrong.
"Oh, you can marry Tian Cui. How's it going? Long Xingrong asked, shaking his fan.
"Hey, don't fool me. This army belongs to your family, huh? The martial arts hall was opened by your family? What do you say? Wang Meng asked suspiciously.
"Well, you're right. It's still mine, it's still mine. Long Xingrong said proudly.
"What about the ghost, are you the emperor?"
"Oh, don't talk nonsense, kid, it's disrespectful." Aunt Lu interjected on the side.
Niu Tianci's heart moved at this time. When he was eating just now, he saw Peach Blossom use a silver skewer to order it in Long Xingrong's bowl. He took a wonton from Long Xingrong's bowl and ate it before letting Long Xingrong eat it. And Long Xingrong inadvertently said "lonely" when he spoke. This style is not something that ordinary people can have, not even aristocratic families. In Dayan, only the emperor's family is qualified to do so. There are a few people in the world who can call themselves lonely. With such an association, Niu Tianci understood Long Xingrong's identity seven or eight points.
Hehe, isn't Rongxing Xingrong when he turns around? There are not many people who can see the prince with their own eyes in Dayan, but the prince's name is a household name. Nine times out of ten, this person is the current prince Long Xingrong. Thinking of this, Niu Tianci secretly planned in his heart. Now is not the time to confront Emperor Su Zheng head-on, but it is not a bad move to start from the crown prince. Now it seems that Long Xingrong is still good, at least he has not been completely controlled by Li Ke and his ilk. It can still be used to win him over, if Long Xingrong has the quality of a Ming Jun, it is not impossible to help him. Helping Long Xingrong ascend to the throne is much less risky than overthrowing Emperor Suzheng.
Niu Tianci was thinking, and Long Xingrong was also thinking. Thinking about how to keep both of them with him. The three of them had nothing to say for a moment. At this time, Peach Blossom stood up to settle the bill, and he took out a silver ticket and handed it to Aunt Lu.
"Auntie, check out. This table is mine. ”
Aunt Lu was stunned when she saw this large amount of silver tickets. Hurriedly stuffed the silver ticket into Peach Blossom's hand and whispered: "Silly boy, don't you know if your wealth is not exposed?" Be careful when you go out, just use copper coins. Besides, such a big silver ticket, the eldest lady can't find it. ”
"Oh." After the peach blossom was exchanged for copper coins, he returned to the table and sat down. He didn't know that the scene just now had been clearly seen by a man who happened to be passing by. The man looked at the peach blossoms, with a **** look in his eyes, he paused and turned to leave.
Wang Meng smiled and whispered to Long Xingrong, "Believe me, you're in trouble." To be precise, your maid has been taken a look at, and your money has also been targeted. Let's go, find a safe inn to stay, and contact your family quickly. It's a hassle to be targeted by these people. ”
Long Xingrong looked at Wang Meng strangely, and then looked at Niu Tianci. Niu Tianci smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wang Meng is right, let's go quickly." I'll go with you, and if there are many people, there will be a care. ”
Wang Meng: "Hehe, it's late." People came to the door, you see. ”
Everyone looked at Wang Meng's fingers, and saw that the man just now led a group of gangsters and a few officials came over. (To be continued.) )
