"Brother Thirteen, it's not that I said you, people say that gold doesn't hang down...... With your current status, how can you still walk the streets and alleys alone like you did back then? It's time to put on the pomp of the marquis, the flag to open the way, the horses to obey, the gongs and drums......"

Before Lu Jiu finished speaking, Mi Yan on the side was already laughing so much that he couldn't stand up straight. Lu Jiu glared at him fiercely, wanting to ignore this guy, but seeing that he couldn't stop laughing, he scolded: "If you have something to say, just say it, and if you have a fart, let it go!" What are you laughing at? ”

"General Lu is really a wonderful person, and there is a proverb in the Han Dynasty: 'The son of a thousand gold, he can't sit in the hall', how can it be that the gold doesn't hang down......" Before the words were finished, there was another burst of laughter.

A few people were hesitating, and more and more people gathered in the Dinghuai Gate, some of them were dressed in Confucian shirts and argued for reason, and some of them were dressed in short fights and shook their heads and sighed and returned. Mi Yan stepped forward to stop an old man who had just returned from the Dinghuai Gate.

"Slow down, may I ask why the government has sealed the city gate in broad daylight?"

The old man was dressed in linen cloth and short, although it was a little shabby, but it was clean, I saw him trying to stand up and hunched his back, raised his eyes and swept Mi Yan, and said in a low voice: "You are from a foreign country in your later life, and you don't know a scene in Nanjing!" ”

What is a view of Nanjing? Could it be that Nanjing City is often closed? The old man also stopped selling Guanzi with Mi Yan, and told him bluntly and honestly: "The Central Plains saw the war, and many scholars took refuge in the south, and seeing that the day of this year's township examination is coming, many people plan to register for the exam in Nanjing." Saying that, he shook his head, "These post-nators who are reading are all energetic, and they will get a moth today, and another moth tomorrow, and they will not be the same." ”

The old man sighed lightly again: "The government is afraid of a big mess, and whenever these descendants make a fuss, they have no choice but to seal the city." It's harmful, and we small people can't get out of the city! You also came to take refuge in this future life to take refuge, right? Yes, yes, don't mess around......"

Mi Yan is also wearing a Confucian robe today, coupled with his own bearing, if he doesn't know the inside story, he really thinks that he is a talented man who is here to take the exam. The old man also realized his gaffe at this time, if the future life in front of him is Xiucai Gong, then he is a righteous master, and he can see the official and not worship, how can he, the head of Qian, call it in the next life?

The old man immediately made a gesture to kneel, and his mouth was full of words: "The little old man has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he abruptly shows the talented master, and the Xiucai master forgives the guilt......"

The sudden change surprised Mi Yan, and he hurriedly supported the old man with both hands.

"What is the old man doing, get up quickly, the next kid can't afford to be a ......"

The two of them went back and forth again, and finally the old man left happily, still silently muttering: "Good people, good people, designated on the list......"

Knowing that the city gate was not closed because of himself, Li Xin, Lu Jiu and Mi Yan all breathed a long sigh of relief. At least one less big trouble to deal with Ying Tianfu. But they were still trapped in the city of Nanjing and could not get out. In fact, it is not very difficult to get out of the city with Li Xin's identity today, as long as his identity is revealed, who dares to stop him. But in this way, his identity will inevitably be exposed, and he will also face all kinds of criticism from the officials in the city, which is not what he wants. Therefore, Li Xin's plan was to sneak out of Nanjing City as much as possible without alarming Nanjing officialdom.

After listening to the conversation between the old man and Mi Yan, Li Xin was moved, "Then the old man said that foreigners can also try in Nanjing Township?" This sentence was asking Mi Yan, and Mi Yan hurriedly replied: "For the convenience of the imperial court, the children of the eunuchs and merchants can indeed take the examination nearby after listing their hometowns, which can be regarded as a great convenience for my court!" Otherwise, the journey is thousands of miles, going back and forth from north to south, and I don't know how many people have missed their lives and futures. ”

The Ming Dynasty is not as good as later, there are various means of transportation such as trains and airplanes, in addition to the threat of bandits and strongmen on long-distance travel, but also to fight against various diseases, some people with ordinary family backgrounds died on the road, but I am afraid that there is no one to send a letter home, so a trip to the far door is really a great event for the people of the time. Li Xin couldn't imagine that a feudal imperial country like the Ming Dynasty would have such a humanized move that was convenient for the people, and he sighed compared to the college entrance examination for returning to his hometown in later generations.

"Yuan Chang was a showman when he was in Taiyuan, right?" Li Xin asked for no reason, which made Mi Yan a little confused.

"I really showed off my talent in the next place."

Li Xin smiled: "Why don't you take the exam nearby, if you are on the list, I recommend you as an official!" A mist suddenly rose in Mi Yan's eyes, what happened to the ten years of hard study in the cold window? Is it just for the glory of the moment when the Zhongjin Shi points Hanlin? When it comes to the roots, it's not about learning and excelling. But since the people of his uncle's family released his words, he has the ability to make him unable to be promoted in his life, and although he did not accept his fate at that time, he also gave up the idea of being admitted to the office.

I don't want Li Xin to mention it today, which reminds Mi Yan of the sad past, how can he not be moved. At the same time, a kind of love for the death of a confidant suddenly arises, and it is a great pleasure to follow characters like Li Xin.

Li Xin looked at today's situation and knew that he would definitely not be able to get out, so it was better to come and be safe, why not take this opportunity to appreciate the different style of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties? As soon as he thought of this, Li Xin calmed down.

"Let's go! Since you don't do our business, you can put your heart in your stomach, and you can't come for nothing, have a good time! After that, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Jiu, "Throw away the longbow on your back and go shopping with this thing on your back, for fear that the government will not come to us?" ”

Lu Jiu immediately came to his senses, but he was reluctant to throw away the longbow, after all, he had been following him since Gao Yang. For him, there is no doubt that he is already with his own brother. Mi Yan Xu saw Lu Jiu's thoughts, so he paid attention.

"If General Lu is reluctant to throw it away, he can wrap it in oilcloth and find a place where no one is there to bury it. Wouldn't it be better to dig it out when you get out of the city? Lu Jiu was shocked when he heard this.

Li Xin said strangely: "I've always wanted to ask you, how did you bring in such a long bow?" ”

Lu Jiu smiled and said, "I spent a tael of silver and hid the bow in the dung cart back to the city." He covered his nose with a gesture, "The roof of the dung truck stinks, how many doormen are willing to go up and search carefully?" ”

Listening to Lu Jiu's description, several people laughed, as if the unhappiness caused by the twists and turns after entering the city had been swept away. It's just that Li Xin feels that somewhere in his heart, there is always an indescribable feeling, is it like this if he is looking for someone and not meeting him? A pretty face appeared in front of him, "The ancient capital of Nanjing is also known as the Stone City, the Confucius Temple is indispensable, and the town ......" Li Xinyi waved his hand and interrupted his words, "Since we are traveling in micro-clothes, don't be formal, just like Lu Jiu, just call me the thirteenth brother!" ”

No matter which life Li Xin has never been to Nanjing, he knows that there is a Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Qixia Mountain in Nanjing. However, this is the 17th century AD, and Sun Yat-sen still doesn't know where it is, let alone the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Listening to Mi Yan mention the Confucius Temple, I couldn't help but be interested, guessing that it should be a place like a temple fair, which is roughly similar to the pedestrian street and commercial street in later generations.

At this time, Lu Jiu was also interested, grinding his fists Huo Huo, "I heard that the girls in Jiangnan are water spirits, and it is rare to have a chance to go to the kiln to open your eyes!" There is something to see in the temple, the wooden clay sculpture, I'm afraid that even he can't bless himself, and I will leak the prototype of this fist! ”

Li Xin suddenly felt that Lu Jiu had a lot of words compared to the past, and he said that if he said too much, he would lose it.

Sure enough, Mi Yan laughed on her stomach again, and only straightened up after a while, and said meaningfully: "Isn't it a Fengyue woman?" All of them, all of them ......"

This time, even Li Xin was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that there is such a thing in the empty door?" This sentence stunned Mi Yan, but after reacting, he didn't dare to laugh as presumptuously as he made fun of Lu Jiu, so he held his breath, stabilized his feelings, and prepared to explain them one by one. But I didn't want to, and a shout of excitement came.

"A few strong men walked slowly, and they could be regarded as finding a few of them. Now that Nanjing is closed down, I can't get out of the city, so why not get drunk with my old man? ”

It was the same servant and master again, and the owner of the Confucian shirt smiled lovely, and looked at Li Xin with expectation in his eyes. At this time, Li Xin also felt empty in his stomach, since this person had been invited several times, and to see what his intentions were, maybe he couldn't help but think too much.

According to Li Xin's experience in his previous life, when you are walking on the street and someone suddenly wants to invite you to dinner, this person must have bad intentions. But this is the Ming Dynasty, the ancient style still exists, and the brave who admire the strong or brave can really come out of their hearts and make friends! If you blindly refuse, wouldn't it be beautiful if you blow the will of a good person?

So after Li Xin and the three thanked the owner of the Confucian shirt, they followed a servant and a master all the way to the south, and they could already see the river, and there were also merchants on both sides of the river, and pedestrians were weaving. A small building on the street faces the rippling river, and the restaurant that the owner of the Confucian shirt refers to is among them.

After entering the building, the shopkeeper led a group of people upstairs with hospitality, let them enter the elegant room, Li Xin saw another cave, sitting by the window, the silk spring breeze came to the face, like fragrant fragrance, couldn't help but make people sigh, worthy of being the land of gold powder in the Six Dynasties, even the wind on the Qinhuai River is with fat powder.

The wine and food were quickly served, and the owner of the Confucian shirt really only recruited them as strongmen in the rivers and lakes, and he was full of praise on the one hand, and repeatedly persuaded them to drink. Mi Yan didn't drink well, but Li Xin and Lu Jiu were both booze. Since they could not accept the courtesy of this man, then only those who came did not refuse.

After three rounds of drinking, the owner of the Confucian shirt obviously couldn't hold up bowl after bowl of wine, his face was red, and his speech was a little knotted. However, this person is a wealthy gentleman in the city, and even if he drinks like this, he also shows his boldness and sincerity. Li Xin was a little embarrassed, so after thanking him, he got up and prepared to leave.

The master of the Confucian shirt kept guests again and again, and asked the servant to bring a plate of gold ingots, and let Li Xin and others accept it no matter what.

"If you want to go out of the city, the old man will help you again......" He took out a road from his sleeve and handed it to the three of them. At this time, at the guidance of Tianfu, even if the city is closed now, it will be unimpeded! ”

Li Xin said secretly, this person's ability is not shallow, and he can get such things. So he took the lead and thanked him again: "Your Excellency is kind and sincere, but this gold can't be collected anymore no matter what!" ”

After the three of them went downstairs, the smile on the face of the Confucian shirt was red and half-drunk, and he sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

The servant next to him asked tentatively: "It's better to ...... again" As he spoke, he glanced out the window at the flower boat on the surface of the Huahe River.

"No need! They didn't want to do this, so they sent people to inform the gates, saying that the master's road guide had been stolen by thieves, but there were people who used the lock to leave the city! ”

The voice of the owner of the Confucian shirt was extremely cold.
