The capital city of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty is indeed a prosperous atmosphere. The crowds are crowded, shoulder to shoulder, and the sound of selling is endless.

Although the journey is quite long, because of the practice of the Liangyi Gate Inner Gong Mind Method along the way, I have forgotten the time of the long journey.

I didn't expect Xue Qing to stay up late to write a template for me, which is really well-intentioned.

It's just that the internal power of the two instruments is divided into yin and yang, that is, women and men. And this set of "Liangyi Pure Yang Gong" couldn't be better for me, but I didn't expect this internal skill to be so difficult to cultivate, although I have comprehended the essentials, but I have only practiced to the third or fourth level. If you want to say that I have a high level of understanding, I have nothing to say, but if you want to talk about the ability to practice, it is much more difficult.

It's just that after all, in less than three days, I was able to practice the third or fourth layer of "Liangyi Pure Yang Gong", one of Master Hua's life's painstaking efforts, and I think the next journey will be enough.

Hey, but in this way, I am now half a disciple of the Liangyi Sect.

The boat slowly sailed under the Bianjing Hongqiao.

I was so dizzy that I had no intention of pronouncing the sentence in "Tokyo Menghualu":

"Carved cars compete in the heavenly street, BMW competes on the royal road, the gold is dazzling, and Luo Qi is fragrant......"

In my previous memory, I thought that these gorgeous words were too famous, but when they were presented in full and truth, I felt that the description of the memory words seemed simple.

The next thing that comes to mind is the account in How Long Will the West Rule: "In the 11th century, Kaifeng developed into a bustling, noisy, and vibrant metropolis, with a wider market that attracted traders from half the continent...... At that time, the level of culture in China was comparable to that of Rome 1,000 years ago. ”

The records in the book can be described as quite abstract, but when I was in it, I truly felt the prosperity and magnificence of the Song Dynasty from the flowing and fresh clothes and the rows of buildings.

I know a little bit about these books, but they only exist in my head, but I look at them. I didn't know how cruel this ending was.

I let out a long sigh. From time to time, there are all kinds of sedan chairs and horses passing by, and the crowd has to get out of the way, maybe some dignitaries and nobles.

I got off the boat and walked around, looking around, curious, and it was a long time before I came to the famous Hongqiao.

"In the lower Tang Dynasty, it is white. This brother has been here for a long time, but he is interested in calligraphy and painting? ”

I looked left, then again, and then pointed at myself.

"May I ask this brother to talk about me again?"

Tang Jingbai nodded.

"I'm sorry, Hongqiao is too lively, I haven't had time to see your calligraphy and paintings. Can I take a closer look at that painting? ”

Tang Jingbai handed over a painting.

"This "Xixue Hanmei Picture" is a disgusting work, brother, please take it."

Among the dozen or so calligraphy and paintings on the stall, "Xixue Hanmei Tu" immediately attracted my attention and amazed me.

The whole picture is covered in snow, and there is a meandering stream flowing through it. A large patch of white reveals a little bit of stone gray.

In the lower right of the picture, a tree trunk suddenly protrudes, covered with scars and dull colors, like a dead branch in the ice and snow.

From this dead branch, a thin new branch is drawn to the left, first sinking downwards and then rising upwards, occasionally with thinner branches growing.

On the slender and tortuous new branches, plum blossoms actually bloomed, which made people feel that it was a kind of Ling Han's lonely strength.

At this time, a brother said: "The nameless man actually asked for two taels of silver." It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that this good painting is. ”

"Could it be that in this painting, where is the improper brushwork and failure? Please advise. Tang Jingbai wondered.

"The painting is a good painting, and it must be no less than many painters around the saint. It's just a pity. ”

I picked up the painting and looked at it carefully, and asked suspiciously.

"I don't know much about painting techniques, but this painting is ingenious and really impressive. I don't know where it's a pity? ”

I only heard this brother say disdainfully: "It's a pity that this painting was painted by you, an unknown junior, who wants to hang it in the house, it will damage face." Hey, if you don't have this seal, maybe you can sell it for a few more silver. Five hundred texts, no more. ”

Tang Jingbai's face was a little lost, and he took the painting back in my hand and rolled it up, as if he didn't plan to sell the painting anymore.

Presumably, he must have been deeply affected at this time.

"Although I am down, I am really talented and learned this painting skill, how can I tolerate you being humiliated."

I looked at Tang Jingbai.

"It's a good saying, people don't distinguish between high and low, as long as they make money with their real talents, what's the harm if they are poor? I advise you not to sell this painting cheaply. ”

"What's more, if someone only knows who admires the seal on it, but doesn't know how to appreciate the painting. It would be a real pity to sell the painting to him. What does it matter to those who only know how to appreciate the seals on the paintings, but not to appreciate the paintings, and those beasts who only know how to eat enough? ”

The fat official said disdainfully: "Hey, you two are quite ambitious." If you don't sell it, forget it, and keep it home to feed the mice. ”

"Feeding a mouse is also better than being eaten by a pig with a fat head and big ears."

The fat man didn't hear what Tang Jingbai said clearly, waved his two wide sleeves, and staggered away.

It's a pity that this "Brook Snow and Cold Plum Picture" really made my eyes shine.

"If I had enough money, I bought the painting. I'm really worried about where it's going to end up in the future. ”

I was just about to leave, but Tang Jingbai stopped me.

"This brother, do you really like this painting?"

I looked at him.

"Of course, if the painting is so good, you must also be full of poetry and books, maybe you can make a name for yourself and achieve a career."

Tang Jingbai listened to my words and sighed.

"What's the use of being talented, how difficult it is to get ahead from a humble background. Besides, today's imperial court, hey, it's hard to say. ”

Seeing how frustrated he was, I went up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't be so depressed at your young age. Throughout this millennium of history. How many people are late bloomers, you won't know less than I do. ”

I don't know why I said these words unintentionally, but seeing that it was helpful to Tang Jingbai, I blurted it out.

"It doesn't matter, I have set up a stall here for many days, and only Brother Tai really appreciates the paintings below. A lot of encouragement, grateful. ”

I smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're the first person I've met in the capital." The big husband can bend and stretch, and he doesn't have to care about temporary gains and losses. If you can endure, you are the real hero. ”

Tang Jingbai nodded. He stood up and handed me "Xixue Hanmeitu".

Brother Tai's words are in my heart. If this "Picture of Brook Snow and Cold Plums" is really fed to mice at home, it is better to give it to someone who knows how to appreciate the painting like Brother Tai. ”

I hurriedly refused.

"How can this be embarrassing, this is your painstaking work."

But Tang Jingbai still wanted to hand me "Xixue Hanmei Tu".

"Otherwise, how about I pick a painting from your art stall?"

Tang couldn't resist me in vain, so he had to pick a painting from his stall and hand it to me.

It took about a few minutes. A picture lit up in front of my eyes.

A woman in a blue and white dress stood by the window and looked into the distance.

It's like a deep cage, but the heart is free.

"The one on the painting is Master Li." Tang Jingbai said.

I stood up and carefully looked at the painting.

In my memory, this Master Li is glamorous.

"This is the Oiran of Sweetwater Lane, the first beauty in Bianjing, Master Li?"

Tang Jingbai nodded.

I rolled up the picture and told me I was going to do it. Jingbai nodded helplessly, so he had to give me this portrait of Master Li.

"By the way, does Brother Bai know how to get to the palace?"

Tang looked at me in shock.

"Along this street, all the way to the north, but the palace is heavily guarded inside and outside, and the guards are also arrogant and unreasonable."

After I hugged my fists and thanked Jingbai, I set off for the palace.

I walked along the royal street all the way to the north, and the noise of pedestrians and the market gradually became less and less along the way, and it seemed that I was close to the imperial city.

Finally, I came to the high walls of the Imperial City, where rows of guards were standing guard or patrolling, and I didn't know if I should continue on my way.

One of the guards saw me wandering at the foot of the steps, and he led a group of men and came towards me with a gun. It really scared the hell out of me.

I wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late.

The guard looked at me and said, "Who?" Sneaky! Still want to run? ”

I looked around at a bunch of people.

I had to say in a good voice: "I happened to pass by here, and when I saw the golden splendor of the palace, I couldn't help but come over to visit." ”

Several of the guards began to laugh.

"Hillbilly, the Imperial City is for you to visit? I don't know how to lose my head. ”

I clenched my hands into fists, and I was a little displeased to hear him say this, but with my current status, I am afraid that I can't help myself. I can only endure it.

"It's okay if you don't let me visit, I haven't done anything to violate the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, can I go?"

"Let's go? You're guilty of the following crimes, and you're going to lose your head if it's serious. But ......."

I now know why the dream always shows how the Great Song Dynasty was defeated, but I only know that the people are oppressed, no wonder the people are not happy.

The guard winked at me, raised his right hand and rubbed his fingers in front of my eyes, clearly asking me for a bribe.

If I give it, they will definitely be even more aggressive to the people in the future, but if I don't give it, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out today.

It seems that the palace is really not so easy to enter, and if you break in, you are only afraid that you will not be able to protect yourself. But there's no rush for the time being, we have to think of another way.

Now thirty-six plans are the upper plan!

Unexpectedly, after practicing the internal strength of Liangyimen, the body was more elegant than before, and the reaction was more sensitive.

I'm afraid this is the so-called light work, since I can make myself so fast, I really can't believe it.

And I ran to the stage in an instant, and the stage was telling the story of Cui Shaoyun, the owner of Yunlong Village, who was martyred.

I calmed down, adjusted my breathing, and sat down in the seat next to me to rest, although the speed did become much faster, and even had a feeling of flying lightly, but it was so tired.

I guessed it right, it was the Song Dynasty's Goolan Tiles.

What if this is a fence tile?

I subconsciously looked at the side, and sure enough. Next door is the world-famous Sweetwater Alley!

There are a few things that I still remember in my memory, but most of them are not known, and even some are repetitive.

I opened Master Li's portrait and took a look.

At this moment, the guards actually chased after him again.

"Stop! Where to run! ”

I said if there is no mistake, your guards of the Great Song Dynasty are persevering in chasing people.

I turned my head and saw another man weaving through the crowd, jumping on the eaves and taking the guards in circles.

The man led the guard a little further away from me, and suddenly threw a heavy package at me.

I subconsciously caught the package, and my arms were shocked and my scalp was numb.

The guards divided into two paths and pursued me all the way.

"Dude! Why are you still standing stupidly, hurry up and find a place to wait for me. ”

After saying that, I used my half-baked light skills to leave the Goolan tile shop.

After shaking off the guards, I realized that I didn't look at the road, but ran into the lobby of Sweetwater Alley and got behind the screen in the corner.

I can only hear the singing and dancing of the warblers in the hall, the sound of persuading the wine to cheer one after another, and there are people chanting poems against the girls, and the elegance is infinite.

My eyes straightened.

Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder.

"Brother, my name is Gao Wenjie. I'm sorry just now, I'm sorry for you. ”

？？？

I was at a loss for a moment, meaning, the guard just now was chasing him instead of me?

Soon after, a man suddenly appeared next to me, and his deep voice startled me. He pressed against my shoulder.

The man smiled at me, took the package from my hand, and weighed it in his hand with a satisfied expression.

"Brother Gao, what is this package of yours, and why are the guards chasing you?"

Gao Wenjie said with a smile.

"Although Gao was born humble, what I am most unaccustomed to is those who smell of wine and meat in Zhumen on weekdays, and there are frozen bones on the road. These jewels and silver were all stolen by me from the Gao Taiwei Mansion. ”

"Although the capital is prosperous, there are not a few people who can't eat, the government only takes care of itself, but doesn't care about those poor people, and when it gets late, I will send them this silver."

I applauded.

"It turns out that Brother Wenjie is robbing the rich and helping the poor, and he should support it."

He shook his head.

"I don't dare to rob the rich and help the poor, but I am in the same situation as them, and I don't want to see these people suffering."

I looked at Gao Wenjie, although his appearance was ordinary, he did not lose his chivalrous atmosphere, and his clothes were similar to ordinary people's.

"It seems that Brother Wenjie also has a story, seeing that you talk to a certain extent, as if you have read a book, and you can turn that group of guards around, presumably your martial arts are not bad."

Gao Wenjie shook his head, sighed and said: "Hey, don't mention it, Gao's family is poor, born humble, I once wanted to study hard and take the official exam to build a family, but it's a pity that the government doesn't look down on us poor people with humble status." I had to take another path and do these little things in this capital. ”

Brother Wen Jie saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he unwrapped the package and spread it out in front of me, revealing a large pile of silver ingots, jade, jade bracelets, and the like.

Wen Jie motioned to me, pointed to the contents of the package, and motioned for me to pick two.

I quickly shook my head.

"This can't be done, I can't ask for these things, this is for the relief of the people, and it won't be rewarded!"

Brother Wen Jie sighed again: "Hey, this time it's thanks to Brother Tai's help." The guards were nothing, but I wasn't going to hurt them, so it was a little hard to get rid of. ”

I patted Brother Wenjie on the shoulder.

"Brother Wenjie is polite, but I have a question, we don't know each other, how can you feel free to throw the package to me?"

"Haha, although Gao doesn't read many people, he can still distinguish between good and bad people, and you are also chased by the guards. Besides, it was an eye-opener for me to shake off the guards. ”

I was speechless.

"You just saw it?"

Wen Jie nodded: "Well, although you are good at light exercises, your foundation is unstable. However, the rivers and lakes are so big, and it is not surprising that there are all kinds of wizards. ”

Brother Wenjie picked up two ingots of silver and stuffed them in my arms, but I couldn't push them after a few times.

After he packed the package, he patted me on the shoulder.

"Brother, my friend of yours is Gao Mou. You also need a lot of silver in the capital, so you don't have to be polite, if you have a chance in the future, we will see you again. ”

"It's like a windfall, and it's well deserved."

Wen Jie looked at me and wanted to leave.

"Alas, a manly man, he is frank and upright, how can he be ashamed? And these two ingots of silver are enough for you to see the teacher girl once. ”

What a hurtful thing he said.

"I can see you sighing at the portrait of the master and the girl over there when I was in the goulan tiles, brother, if you have this kind of elegance, you can stay in Sweet Water Alley for a while. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave! ”

And I put two minas of silver in my baggage.

"I have one more thing I want to say to my brother."

"Children of the rivers and lakes, you don't have to be so polite, it doesn't hurt to say it directly."

"Your martial arts and ambitions, if you want to save them, go and save the world!"

Gao Wenjie looked at me and was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you, brother, Gao remembered!" ”

Gao Wenjie took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, dodged and jumped out of the window next to him. I also pretended nothing had happened and stepped out from behind the screen.

Hey, it's a pity that others have seen such an indecent hobby of mine.

But I really want to meet Master Li.

I remember that in Zhou Bangyan's words, "the knife is like water, Wu Yan is better than snow, and the slender hand breaks the new orange", Master Li can be described as a peerless beauty.

Although Sweet Water Lane is like a brothel in my memory, in this Song Dynasty, Sweet Water Lane was an elegant place, where many literati and scholars gathered, and the girls were also talented and won with their talents.

Besides, Song Ci was originally similar to a song, and although the words have been passed down to this day, most of the songs have been lost.

If you can hear the Song words sung by Master Li with your own ears, it will really be in vain.

I walked over to the waiter and asked him about Master Li.

"Hey, want to see the teacher? Dare to ask if you are a dignitary or a talented son. ”

If you want me to say, I'm neither.

"Big brother, please be accommodating. I have long heard that my teacher is very good at singing, and I admire him very much. ”

"Your big brother is really kind, you don't treat me as a man anymore?"

I was a little overwhelmed.

"This, is it possible that the eldest brother looks happy on the surface, but there is also unspeakable bitterness in his heart?"

The waiter said impatiently: "Go, go, which of you men who came to see the teacher didn't say that, come and listen to the music." In fact, who doesn't know what dirty things are in mind. ”

I looked around.

"I really have no other intentions in my heart, a manly man is bright and upright, how can he be compared with those lustful people? I just want to hear it. How can I meet the teacher? ”

The waiter crept close to my ear.

"Ordinary people want to see the teacher and the girl, and they have to spend some silver to let the messenger from outside be willing to bring you a message. I can do that. But secondly, you must at least have some status or talent so that the teacher and the girl can agree to see you. ”

I nodded, and gave him a tael of silver.

"I see, thank you."

"Childe is dignified, if you want to find another girl to accompany you, you don't have to bother. Or I'll help you. ”

I waved my hand to no.

In my current opinion, I don't have any fame, it seems that I can only rely on talent, and I hope that what comes to my mind can help me at this time.

Here, the best way to show your talent is either to paint or to compose poetry.

I don't know what I'm good at painting and poetry, but I might be able to give it a try based on what comes to mind.

Maybe he can win the favor of Master Li through this. It's just that the ancient writing was done with a brush, which made my scalp tingle.

"This brother, we meet again." At this time, Tang actually stopped me in vain.

Before I knew it, I had walked to the top of the Hongqiao.

"You're still here, how are the calligraphy and paintings selling?"

Tang Jingbai shook his head.

"I didn't expect that in the huge Bianjing City, no one could appreciate the paintings below. It's only brother, you can look down on me. ”

"Brother Jingbai, I have something to ask for help."

"You're welcome, if there's a place to help my brother, you might as well say it directly, I will do my best."

After thanking Brother Tang, I said: "I worked poetry a few days ago, but the handwriting was not good-looking, so I could only ask you to write it instead of me." ”

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Tai is also an elegant person, I really want to read a masterpiece, thanks to Brother Tai who looks up to me, why not write it by me."

I nodded, and began to recite the poem.

After a while, I recalled the dozen poems that came to my mind, and Tang actually wrote them down in the book for me.

"Okay, that's all, please ask Brother Bai for advice."

He stared at the book with white eyes.

"Wizard! But Brother Tai's poems are neither better at choosing words and sentences, nor better at style and rhyme. Brother Tai's poetry is better than quick thinking and whimsy. Sweeping away the old customs, there is quite a new atmosphere. ”

"Thank you Brother Bai for looking down on me, so I'm relieved."

"I also asked my godbrother Taizun's surname."

"My name is Nangong Jie, Brother Bai, can you keep your "Xixue Hanmei Tu" for me, and when I save enough money, I will buy it."

He sighed and said, "Brother Jie, it's a shame to say that someone just bought it for two taels of silver, and I plan to save some money and find another way." ”

I touched my chin and nodded.

"That's fine, since that's the case, there's no need to be sad. With your talent, you should look at the bigger world and don't have to stick to it. ”

"Young Brother Jie's words are really heartfelt, thank you very much."

Unexpectedly, behind this prosperity, some people are proud, while some people are frustrated and helpless.

And there are too many people, full of enthusiasm and talent, but they have never met talents.
