Living in a big city like Shendu can indeed be regarded as happiness, it is as convenient as the big city in the previous life, and the material is extremely rich, you can eat food and specialties from all over Daxia, as well as some commodities from the Western Regions, exotic food, orchids, and some rare products from overseas, of course, provided that you have enough money in your pocket, the prices of Shendu are not cheap, and it is not easy for outsiders to live here.

As the capital of a feudal dynasty, compared to money, the position of power is more useful here, powerful and powerful, what you want, you don't need to spend money, as long as you move your mouth, someone will send it to the door, it doesn't matter to many people, they would rather be attached to the powerful and desperately seek fame.

Shendu can be said to be a tourist city, a large number of foreign visitors spend a lot of money every day, which can be said to be a factor in the prosperity of Shendu, but the people of Shendu do not have this awareness, and always like to look at outsiders with nostrils.

Chewing on the novelty food bought by Xiao Tianbao in his mouth, while listening to the gossip of all kinds of people, about because of the political nature of the Shendu itself, the people here like to talk about current affairs, similar to the common people in the previous life, bragging and gossiping and scolding corrupt officials are all necessary programs.

Because the big exam is approaching, the content of the gossip is mostly some gossip about some famous scribes and talents from other places.

The literary examination system was established at the same time when the Middle-earth Dynasty was established, but after many changes, the literary examination today is very different from the original. Let's just say that the identity of the Magi, who can be called the Magi at first, are all real talents, have passed all the subjects, have not only extensive knowledge but also profound, especially have their own unique opinions, recognized as the Magi, there may not be one in ten years.

The content of today's big examination has been reformed into some subjects set up specifically for the selection of officials, and the content is also the classics and ideas of those mainstream schools. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to describe the big test with thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. However, even if they fail to pass the exam, there are other ways out for the scribes who come to Shendu, and the powerful people in the court recruit talents, and if they are favored, they can become doormen and staff, and their status is immediately different.

Of course, the real talent is not just talking, before the big exam begins, some powerful people will hold some banquets, invite some famous scribes to participate, in fact, some small-scale literary meetings, martial arts meetings, in order to show their talents, in the banquet to use their own means, compete with each other.

In order to attract attention, many people will also do some out-of-the-ordinary behavior, distributing their own articles, singing wild songs in the streets, chanting poems in wine shops, etc., in short, promoting themselves in various ways, but there are also many arrogant scribes who do not want to become staff members and the like, so they rush to become court officials, and even some are just to become wise men and become famous all over the world.

The aspect of the text is like this, the circle of the warriors is similar, the way is slightly different, some powerful people will send out some invitations, and the warriors compete with each other in order to compete for the invitations, so, the gods have been very lively recently.

Of course, the things in these circles may actually be very complicated, mixed with the grievances and disputes of some schools and sects, and there are all kinds of insider stories, and ordinary people just watch the excitement and listen to the gossip.

These are similar to the entertainment gossip news in his previous life, and Xiao Tianlei is not much interested, so he just listens to it for fun.

Unconsciously, the prayer mansion was close in front of him, Xiao Tianlei quickened his pace, turned a corner, and saw a delicate little maid, looking up and calling eagerly: "Miss, Miss!" Come down, the old lady said you weren't allowed to climb the wall! ”

Xiao Tianlei looked up, but saw that the girl in green last night had changed into a goose yellow dress, a little more playful, and was standing on the wall playing Golden Rooster Independence.

"Yunzhu, don't be verbose, how could I fall down! Alas! …… Ay? Alas! ”

This woman seems to like climbing walls! Xiao Tianlei flashed a thought, and was about to retract his gaze, but the girl somehow lost her balance. The girl tried to maintain her balance by using the technique of unloading the force, but the center of gravity had shifted, and he held up for a while, and finally fell off the wall.

Xiao Tianlei's vision can see every action, as if taking a photo, seeing his frightened expression, his ever-changing expression in an instant, very happy, just like watching some funny videos in his previous life, he couldn't help laughing.

The girl has fallen, what should I do?

Xiao Tianlei pondered whether to take a step back, and watched her fall to the ground, but it didn't seem to be authentic to do so, in fact, there was no time to think about it, Xiao Tianlei probed with one hand, grabbed the girl's arm and made a force, straightened the girl who was almost upside down, removed most of the strength, and let her feet land steadily.

At this time, the girl had not yet come back to her senses, and was frightened, so the little maid came forward to help the girl and asked with concern, "Miss, are you okay?" ”

"I didn't ...... Thing, that...... Thank you! The girl recovered quickly, took a breath, glanced at Xiao Tianlei, bowed her head slightly, and saluted in thanks.

"No, it's a matter of effort." Xiao Tianlei answered, then ignored it and continued to move forward.

"Alas!" The girl suddenly called out in a loud voice.

"Anything else?" Xiao Tianlei turned around and asked.

"That...... You're staying in my house......" The girl bowed her head and said hesitantly.

"Your home?" Xiao Tianlei didn't react for a while.

The maid Yunzhu reminded: "It's the Prayer Mansion, my young lady is the young lady of the Prayer Mansion." ”

Xiao Tianlei originally thought it was the young lady from the mansion next door, but he didn't expect it to be the young lady from the Qi Mansion, but for him, it didn't matter what the girl's identity was, he nodded and greeted politely: "It turned out to be Miss Qi, hello!" Saying that, in Xiao Tianlei's opinion, this Miss Qi is only fourteen or fifteen years old, at most she is a little young lady.

"Oh...... Hello, dare to ask Childe...... Name? Miss Qi is not used to this way of speaking, and her tongue is a little knotted.

Xiao Tianlei also felt awkward, and didn't follow to use some elegant words, but just said casually: "My name is Xiao Tianlei, and this is my cousin Xiao Tianbao." He didn't want to be here all the time, and said, "Miss Qi has nothing else to do, right?" If it's okay, it's time for us to go back. ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay!" Miss Qi waved her hand again and again.

"Then take your leave!" Xiao Tianlei said and walked towards the back door of the prayer mansion.

After watching Xiao Tianlei and Xiao Tianbao enter the back door, Miss Qi suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.

Yunzhu was startled and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Miss Qi said, "I haven't said my name yet!" Immediately a little annoyed, "Isn't there a question and an answer in the play?" This person is really, I don't even know how to ask people! ”

Yun Zhu said: "Miss, do you want me to catch up and tell him?" ”

"That's embarrassing! Well, I'll tell him when he asks me. ”

"Miss...... This boy is so good-looking. ”

"Hmm." Miss Qi nodded.

"Miss, you won't be waiting for this boy here today, will you?"

"Hmm." Miss Qi nodded.

"Miss, you shouldn't like this son, do you?"

"Hmm......" Miss Qi nodded first, then shook her head again and again, and said, "Bah, people just want to talk to him." ”

"I'll tell Madame to go."

"You dare!"

"I want it."

"Don't run!"

"Haha!"

……

If you want to say that Miss Qi likes Xiao Tianlei, Miss Qi herself doesn't know, she is the age of ignorance, she just likes Xiao Tianlei's appearance and wants to be close. Miss Qi thought carefully, the maid Yunzhu did not tell Miss Qi's mother, but how to make Xiao Tianlei ask her name made Miss Qi difficult.

At night, Xiao Tianlei was still writing on the case in front of the window, and then listened to the subtle sound of the rope outside the window, and suddenly became alert, and Xiao Tianbao made a look, pretending not to know, and then, I saw a head poking out of the window, and then half of the body, but it was the little lady of Qifu, and there were some blades of grass on her head, what is this?

"Hey...... What are you writing about? Miss Qi asked.

"Whatever you want." Xiao Tianlei replied, even if she told this little lady, she might not understand.

"Can I take a look?" Miss Qi asked.

Xiao Tianlei handed over a piece of manuscript paper, of course Miss Qi couldn't understand it, she looked at it over and over for a while, and exclaimed: "Wow! Hello learned! ”

"Uh......" Xiao Tianlei was stunned, he was sure that Miss Qi couldn't understand it, but her expression didn't look like a fake, so strange.

"Can you read it?" Xiao Tianbao asked.

Miss Qi blinked her eyes and said as a matter of course, "I don't understand...... Well, what I don't understand, it must be a university question. ”

Xiao Tianlei was relieved, and when he saw that Miss Qi seemed to want to say something, he asked, "Miss Qi, are you looking for something for us?" He wanted to send this girl away quickly, a girl was dangling in the window at night, not decent, it was not good for people to see.

"That...... It's okay, just to thank you, I also brought a gift! Oh, my favorite shortbread is delicious! You guys try! Miss Qi said, handing over a small paper bag.

"Thank you very much!" Xiao Tianlei thanked him, and in Miss Qi's expectant gaze, he opened the paper bag, took a piece of pastry and tasted it.

"Tianbao, give Miss Qi some candy we brought to taste." Xiao Tianlei seemed to be young and young at all, so he dealt with it by sending the children away.

Xiao Tianbao picked up a handful of various candies from his bag, and Miss Qi looked at these candies with a surprise in her eyes: "Oh, candy!" I've only eaten it a few times, ha, so many flavors I haven't seen before! I'll try it......" grabbed one, tore open the candy paper and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, stared at the candy on the table, and was not polite, just put it in his arms one by one.

"Miss Qi, it's a big night, you better go back and rest early." Xiao Tianlei took the opportunity to say.

"Good...... Good! With sugar in her mouth, Miss Qi was a little slurred, but she still agreed and left happily.

Miss Qi didn't go far, and Yunzhu, who was waiting on the side, took out a lot of candy as if offering a treasure, and said, "Yunzhu, come and see, I have a lot of candy!" Here, here are a few of you! ”

"Wow, a lot of candy, I heard that it is precious! Miss, where did you come from? ”

"They gave it."

"Oh...... Miss, tell people your name? Yunzhu asked.

Miss Qi then remembered that the business had not been done yet, but it was not good to turn around, so she was stunned, so she had to say, "Then ...... Wait for tomorrow. ”

Miss Qi knew from her subordinates that Xiao Tianlei would go out very early in the morning, so she thought about it, got up early the next morning, and went out for a walk together. That night, she tasted all the flavors of candy and fell asleep sweetly, probably because she slept too sweetly, she naturally overslept, and when she finished washing up and ran to the back garden, Xiao Tianlei and Xiao Tianbao had already gone out.

When Xiao Tianlei and Xiao Tianbao returned to the prayer mansion in the afternoon, they saw Miss Qi squatting at the door, blocked there, looking sullen.

Xiao Tianlei was a little strange, considering whether to ask the reason, Miss Qi said endlessly: "You still don't know people's names!" ”

"Oh!" Xiao Tianlei didn't think there was anything, although he lived in Qifu, he didn't need to know the name of the young lady.

"You don't even ask anyone!" Miss Qi was a little aggrieved.

"Uh...... What is your last name? Xiao Tianlei had no choice but to ask.

Miss Qi didn't answer immediately, and said to herself: "Since you ask me sincerely, I will reluctantly tell you, pray for no frost, people call it Qi Wushuang...... Does it sound good? ”

"Nice, very ...... Artistic conception! Xiao Tianlei said insincerely.

Qi Wushuang smiled happily, and then asked again, "Is there any sugar?" ”

Originally, Xiao Tianlei felt that it was very troublesome to pray for Wushuang, but after a few days of getting along, she was actually an innocent little girl, very easy to coax, and there was basically no problem that candy could not solve. However, whoever wants to think that Qi Wushuang is easy to bully, it is a big mistake, Qi Wushuang's martial arts are not weak, and a few strong men are not opponents, Qi Wushuang is determined to be a female general.

There are not a few female generals in history, and there are some female generals in Daxia today, whose performance is not weaker than that of male generals, and they are still victorious in some aspects.

Qi Wushuang also specially showed off her beloved mount, a jade lion that is still underage, this is the general name of a type of mount, the coat color is as white as jade, and the neck is slightly curled with long hair, this one of Qi Wushuang is a first-class goods, and is expected to become a jade lion of the level of a strange beast.

The children of the Jiangmen family will have their own mount when they reach a certain age, and they will grow up with the mount, and the master and the mount will have the same mind. With such a mount, you can have a great advantage on the battlefield and practice some difficult attack skills. In particular, the mount grows into a strange beast, the man and the horse are one, the gang is interconnected, equipped with armor and horse harness, and the general soldier is simply an invincible tank-like existence, and it is not a boast in the story, but a living fact.

From Qi Wushuang's mouth, Xiao Tianlei knows a lot of things, and life has added some fun, and Xiao Tianlei is also roughly clear about Qi Wushuang's good impression of himself, but this kind of ignorant feeling can't be taken seriously. Although in his previous life, Xiao Tianlei once wanted to be a scumbag, but if he really wanted to deceive the little girl's feelings, he couldn't do it anyway. Besides, he doesn't want to have a deep relationship with the court or officials, he can't stand the feudal hierarchy, and maybe he will do something if he is unhappy. In that case, the chance of exposure of what he did would be greatly increased, Xiao Tianlei knew in his heart that according to the development direction of his own forces, once exposed, he would definitely have a conflict with the Great Xia Dynasty, and the later the better, and when he accumulated enough strength, he would be able to have no taboos at that time.

Xiao Tianlei didn't have much idea about praying for Wushuang, but others didn't see it that way. On this day, a subordinate of the prayer house came, saying that the lady had an invitation.
