Chapter 1 There is a beautiful spring night in the market

Tang Bianjing, Xingxing Lane.

The warm breeze of early spring is as gentle as a sympathetic hand, caressing away the coolness of winter. At the beginning of the lanterns, the boats in the Cathay Canal are one after another, the pianos are ringing in unison, and the streets and alleys on both sides are crowded.

On the sparkling water, there are a number of small baskets woven with bamboo and rattan, and a fragrant wax is burned in the basket, and the fire is lit, like the stars in the sky, so the star picking alley is named.

The annual "Roselle Festival" is here again.

Every night, the people of Bianjing will always gather in the Star Picking Alley, or use the "bamboo cage incense wax" to float on the river, or burn the lamp to float in the sky, praying for the peace of the country and the people, and the wind and rain are smooth.

Of course, "Roselle" is more than that. Bianjing City doesn't know how many young men and women are waiting for this day to come, just because the lights are dim that night, the water is murmuring, and the handsome men and women talk about the wind and moon in the middle of the night, Rao is a good place to talk about love. As far as the eye can see, the people who look far away from the pole are all dressed up and showcased, the son is full of romance, the young lady is secretly charming, and among the bustling crowd, the men and women are eyebrows, so coquettish.

"Hey, it's Zhang Gongzi!"

I don't know which lady stared at a dashing back and muttered to herself, her eyes were obsessed, and I don't know if she fantasized about the fact that on the Rihui Bridge, the young man Zhang was dressed in white and gently shook the folding fan, and his eyes were like torches and confessed softly: "Erniu, in fact, I have liked you for a long time." ”

That scene... Hmm, shame on you!

Leaning on the fence last night to listen to the cat's bark, Fang Zhichun came.

Not far away, a man in a Chinese costume became a poem in three steps, walked in front of a girl, patted a folding fan in his hand, and read aloud: "The mandarin ducks in the water are in pairs, I see that the young lady is panicking!" ”

The spring breeze is proud everywhere, and the heart is ape everywhere, and all this has completely changed in Tang An's eyes.

"It's really thunderous, the prostitute meets the pleasure seeker!" Tang An whispered.

A romantic episode of knowing a woman at night has changed because of Tang An alone. In front of the "Four Seas Restaurant" in Xingxing Lane, the lights are bright, and it is close to the ferry, which is an excellent location for appreciating beauties, but now there are few people, only Tang An holds the railing with a disdainful face.

He is not the only one who disdains, and some self-proclaimed good sons seem to be unaccustomed to Tang An's style: this kid looks quite handsome, but his grass-like hair is knotted with a straw rope at will, a seat of green clothes has been washed white, and the socks in the straw shoes with the open line are still broken.

In short, this is a poor scholar with a down-and-out status. It's really insulting to stand with such a person and enjoy beauty together!

Not only the sons, but even the maids who are used to seeing high-ranking officials and nobles next to everyone's ladies are all disgusted, and when they glance at this young man out of the corner of their eyes, they will feel that they have wasted their time.

No wonder the ladies are not happy, such a good position to climb high and look far away should have been reserved for the most dazzling figures. In previous years, standing here was either the son of Li Qingfeng of Chengnan Academy, or the son of Guan Jinlan of Moyu Academy, all of whom were suave and suave sons of the sky, when was it the turn of this kind of down-and-out poor sour goods?

Tang An didn't care about this, to be honest, his mood was really bad.

was supposed to be his own sales manager, with a lot of income, handsome appearance and humorous conversation, how many women sent autumn waves to themselves in spring and warm quilts in winter. Those fashionable girls with curly hair in big waves, how can they be compared to these vulgar fans in front of them?

But who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances, just talked about a transnational order, I thought that pie fell from the sky, who knew that I encountered a car accident on the way to the airport, and when I woke up, I came to this ghost place where birds don't lay eggs.

It's not uncommon to cross, but people will always cross over to the young master, why did he wear it on the head of the declining ghost?

The owner of this body in front of him is also surnamed Tang, called Tang Zhenmei, maybe the family originally hoped that he could revitalize the lintel of the ancestors, but who knew that his "eyebrows" were unlucky mold. Wearing it on him, Tang An felt that he was really moldy for eight lifetimes.

This guy's father is a poor scholar, he has only been a showman after reading all his life, and his family is poor and white, not even a pig and half a cow. But the old man admits death, and he thinks that only by reading can he break 10,000 volumes, forcing his son to only know and not eat the fireworks of the world, and only after several failures made the old man completely dead.

Fortunately, before he died, the old man was afraid that his son would eventually starve to death on the street if he could not become a martial artist, so he took out the treasure of the town - half a copper coin.

Tang Zhenmou originally thought that his father was confused, half a copper coin, and he couldn't even buy a pig hair, so how could it be an heirloom? But after hearing the origin of this copper coin, Tang Zhenji was so frightened that he didn't sleep for several days.

It turned out that the old man went to Beijing to take the exam and met another down-and-out scholar. The man almost starved to death on the street, and the old man couldn't bear it, so he gave the man the only five copper plates he had left. The man spent four cents to buy two steamed buns, the last of which was divided into two halves, and swore that if there were children, they would become brothers, and if there were women, they would become husband and wife!

Later, the man became the secretary of the ministry, and he did have a daughter named Lan Haitang.

The fiancée is the beloved daughter of Shangshu, which is a blessing from thousands of years of cultivation. But Tang Zhenmil was so unlucky, he went thousands of miles to the capital to propose, but because he was weak and sick because of his perennial study, he saw that he was about to arrive in the capital, but he froze to death in a broken temple outside the city, and when he opened his eyes again, he became Tang An.

What made Tang An angry was that even if he crossed over to such an unlucky ghost, even the dynasty made people feel confused.

The country where he is located is called "Da Tang", and this Tang is not the other Tang. The history here starts with the Three Kingdoms, and the results of the Three Kingdoms are contrary to the history books, and they have been divided for hundreds of years, and they have not yet been unified. Now the "Tang Dynasty" where he is located is divided into Great Qi and Great Xia on the left and right, and the three kingdoms have friction with each other but are secretly balanced, and they are still in a strong trend.

Tang An first came*, and he was penniless, so he only followed Tang Zhenji's old plan - to come to the capital to find his rich wife, even if this wife was fat and ugly. Compared to life, what is this grievance?

A poor boy came to the capital, and the encounter can be imagined: people are tired of seeing people, and dogs are annoyed when they see dogs. Tang An inquired with a smiling face, but found that this fiancée was very special: Miss Lan Haitang has been very smart since she was a child, she became a poem at the age of seven, composed twelve music, not only is she proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also witty, and she is nicknamed "Little Zhuge ", and even her father has a lot of questions to ask her.

It's okay to be talented, and the old people who have seen her still say that this woman has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, and few beauties in the capital can compare with it.

Such an evaluation makes a group of people who are difficult to enter the boudoir itchy and ready to move, and those who come to propose marriage every day can be lined up from Nanlongkou to Suzaku Street. But Xiao Nizi always expressed her personality: she is obsessed with books and has no intention of marrying. made a group of people feel heartbroken and secretly shouted pity.

Men's psychology is very strange, the more they can't get something, the more they want to find out. The more the blue begonia rejects people thousands of miles away, the higher its popularity in the alleys, and rumors spread on the rivers and lakes for a while:

"The Blue Girl is the reincarnation of a fox spirit, specializing in confusing men's minds."

"What do you know, Miss Lan is a fairy of the Nine Heavens, who is willing to go down to the earth to relieve the suffering of the people."

"You don't know, Miss Blue is actually a man!"

“……”

In any case, the Blue Girl's reputation is well known at home. When the sons sighed and wanted to explore their faces but had no way, I don't know who spread the rumor that the blue girl was going to go to the Star Picking Alley at night!

The news soon spread, and for a time there was a lot of uproar in the streets and alleys, and on the night of the Roselle Festival, more than half of the merry men came with the name of "Little Zhuge ".

Everyone wants to see Fangrong, and Tang An is no exception. Is his future wife really so good?

For fear that the direct visit would be too abrupt, or that he wanted to leave a deep impression on the beauty first, Tang An patiently came to the Star Picking Alley, and in order to look better in spirit, he also touched two steamed buns - who has the strength to bubble the girl when she is hungry!

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. The last step: take advantage of the terrain. The ferry in front of the Four Seas Restaurant is simply tailor-made for him. The gossip of those sons who are superficially suave and actually full of male thieves and prostitutes - about Lao Tzu's!

As for the blue begonia... If it is really as rumored, marrying a wife like a fairy or a fox is not in vain.

"Look, it's the Lan family's boat! It's a blue begonia! ”

In the distance, I don't know who shouted, the crowd rushed over like ants, and the sons who were talking and laughing just now scrambled to be the first, and they stumbled and stumbled, and their martial arts were very strong, for fear of letting others take the lead.

After a while, the shouting place was already dense, and the railing seemed to be unable to stop the enthusiasm of these people, and the sound of "plopping" falling into the water continued. And the first action of the sons who fell into the water was a touch of hair, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the beauty.

Tang An also felt a little nervous at this time, I don't know whether he was worried that his future wife was too far from his expectations, or he was afraid that his down-and-out image would not be able to enter the eyes of others.

The boat in front of the boat in turn, a delicate wooden boat boat slowly sailed slowly, the boat on the second floor of the pavilion, the eaves are beautiful, obviously tailored for girls. The short flag on the bow of the ship is waving in the wind, and a handsome "blue" on it indicates the identity of the owner.

The strange woman in the capital and the little military division Lan Haitang finally came after a long time.
