Chapter 14: Light Rain
Thank you for your support, there will be two shifts a day in the future, if nothing else. This is the first update of the day, and there is another chapter in the afternoon)
……
Seeing the woman laughing hilariously, Xue Chongxun was very puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "What's so funny?" ”
She finally stopped smiling, and was about to speak, but she laughed out again, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her little hand, and said, "You...... It's really stupid, Chang'an City is so big, even if we can meet it for the second time, can we meet it for the third time? ”
Xue Chongxun said suddenly: "I see, I didn't pay attention to this problem for a while. ”
The woman giggled: "It's not that you're stupid, it's that you look, Mumu, it's really ...... Alas, forget it, don't talk about this, my stomach hurts. ”
Her smile infected Xue Chongxun, and Xue Chongxun's mood also became happy. He also smiled and said, "Why did you come to Daqin Temple again?" ”
"I'll wait for someone." At this point, her smile faded away, replaced by a faint melancholy.
Seeing this, Xue Chongxun kindly asked, "Is it past the agreed time, and he hasn't come yet?" ”
The woman nodded and said, "It was originally said that it was three days ago, but now he hasn't come yet...... The date of the scientific expedition was three days ago, right? ”
"Are you talking about the Jinshi list? It seems that the list was opened three days ago. Xue Chongxun said. The Jinshi imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was not the same as that in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there was no need to go through a series of promotion examinations such as the children's examination, the county examination, and the township examination, and the imperial examination system at this time was not so perfect; In the same way, if you are admitted to the Jinshi, you will have the qualification to be an official, which is a good way for children from poor families to enter the office. Of course, people like Xue Chongxun don't need to take that kind of exam, they are born with knighthoods.
"I'll wait until sunset today, and if he doesn't come, I'll go to their house tomorrow to find him." The woman said.
It seems that between them is a matter of talented and beautiful women. Xue Chongxun is still in a good mood, and he doesn't have any jealousy or the like, his marriage will be mainly decided by political needs, and he can't get along with the women of ordinary people's families at all: the woman in front of him can't have results with himself, and if he really pursues others, it is tantamount to harming others. So Xue Chongxun didn't have that idea at the beginning, but such an encounter felt really beautiful, a simple and pure acquaintance.
Xue Chongxun was in a good mood for a while, so he became a little enthusiastic, and made a plan: "If you go to their house by yourself, it will not be good, and it will leave the impression that his family does not know etiquette." I beg Ling Zun Lingtang to find a matchmaker, and then discuss it with his family's high hall, which is better. ”
The woman shook her head and said, "Look at what you said, it actually got to the words of the matchmaker of my parents, I can only be his concubine, why do I pay attention to these things?" Besides, his hometown is not in Chang'an, and his parents are not here. ”
"Oh?" Xue Chongxun was a little puzzled.
The woman thought for a while and said, "It's nothing to sue you, I'm a courtesan from 'Shuiyunjian', hehe, if Lang Jun has Yaxing, you can come and listen to me sing these days, maybe I'll leave there in a few days." ”
Xue Chongxun looked this woman up and down after hearing this, he really didn't see that such a person turned out to be a courtesan in Qinglou, about her young age and relatively elegant dress.
After Xue Chongxun was different for a moment, he was indifferent, and he said casually: "I haven't asked for the name of the little lady, if I really want to go to Shuiyunjian to listen to the music, I can ask someone." ”
"Meng Xiaoyu."
"Foggy, light rain, hazy light rain." Xue Chongxun glanced up at the rain curtain, "It's similar to the situation we know, it's easy to remember." ”
Meng Xiaoyu sighed faintly: "He said that he would welcome me into the door as soon as he passed the Jinshi, do you think what he said is true?" ”
Xue Chongxun said: "Jinshi is not a good candidate, the chance is very small, he may not be able to pass the test." ”
Meng Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "He should have a great chance, not only does the poetry and writing do well, but also the minister's recommendation...... Looking at Lang Jun's appearance, I don't know if he is a reader? Do you know that the biggest threshold for the Jinshi examination is to be appreciated and recommended by the ministers of the DPRK and China? ”
It is probably because Xue Chongxun looks darker, and he has a heroic face, he really doesn't look like a genius, but his demeanor is very decent and elegant, so Meng Xiaoyu didn't dare to judge.
Xue Chongxun asked, "Does he have a relationship with the court?" Originally, he wanted to ask which minister it was, but in the end he didn't ask it, because if he asked like this, it would easily reveal that he was an official. Since everyone only met by chance, it is easy to get along if they don't understand each other's hazy and hazy.
Meng Xiaoyu said: "Doesn't it matter if you have money?" ”
Xue Chongxun inadvertently flashed a thought, I am afraid that she posted that genius to buy official money. Because most of the people from poor backgrounds could not afford to bribe the ministers, but those courtesans who were a little famous could be rich, although their status was very low.
At this time, Meng Xiaoyu asked again: "Does Lang Jun think he will keep his promise?" ”
Xue Chongxun remembered a sentence after hearing this: It is better to believe that there are ghosts in the world than to believe in the mouth of men...... He thought for a while and said, "Actually, you don't have to ask me, if you can give him a lot of money, don't you already believe him?" ”
Meng Xiaoyu was silent, confirming Xue Chongxun's guess just now.
Xue Chongxun looked up at the sky and said: "It's getting dark, I'm afraid he won't come today, Shui Yunjian seems to be over there in Anyifang, it just so happens that I also live there, do you want me to give you a ride along the way?" ”
"Thank you, I'll wait a little longer, I can hire a carriage at the street entrance, I appreciate Lang Jun's kindness."
"Alright, farewell."
Meng Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something: "What is Lang Jun doing here?" I didn't see you doing anything. ”
Xue Chongxun suddenly said: "Too idle, I originally wanted to come to see if Daqin Temple really has a confession hall, but after talking to you for a while, the time is not early, so don't look at it." If I go in and repent, I have to say that tomorrow morning, the priest will not be able to bear it. ”
Meng Xiaoyu was immediately amused, and said with a smile: "I can't see that Lang Jun is such a bad person, your appearance is reminiscent of the sunshine, well, the sun tans you." ”
Xue Chongxun hugged his fists and said: "Some people have said this before. With that, he quickly ran to the carriage parked on the side and told Pang Er to drive the horse away.
The wheels of the carriage were rattling, and there was only Xue Chongxun alone in the carriage, and he suddenly laughed to himself while sitting inside, and said to himself: "Meng Xiaoyu, hazy light rain...... A courtesan should have seen a lot of people, why can she be stupid like this? ”
It can be seen that love is sometimes not a good thing, and it can make people become fools. Thinking of this, a sense of fear emerged in Xue Chongxun's heart.
Pang Er heard Xue Chongxun's voice, but the voice was not loud and he didn't hear it clearly, so Pang Er hurriedly asked, "Lang Jun, what did you say, I didn't hear it." ”
Xue Chongxun said to the front: "If you are hungry, add two whips and go home to eat." ”
