Tantuo Temple's singing party, first through the twists and turns of the network to obtain the entrance jade plate, everyone has to wear the same mask given by the temple, shouting the price does not make a sound in person, but by the monk to do the work......

All kinds of details are enough to show that this is by no means an unusual "auction sale" occasion, and it is the common expectation of the organizers and participants to complete the transaction in a secret, low-key and smooth manner.

That being the case, the organizers should be on guard against any turmoil.

This simple truth doesn't need anyone to say, Li Fengming can think of it. So can Xin fennel.

When he entered the lecture hall before, Xin Wei seemed to be silent, but his eyes secretly swept the audience, and he looked at the warrior monks hiding on the beams in several corners.

Therefore, when Li Fengming was dizzy and raised his hand to throw out Peiyu, Xin Wei immediately leaned over and stretched out his arms, and quickly grabbed it back into his palm.

and decisively pushed the back of Li Fengming's head and pressed her into Wenyin's arms.

Everything happened in the midst of lightning and flint, and although Xin Wei had some restraint in strength, it was obviously limited.

Li Fengming was forced to crash into Wen Yin's arms, wearing a mask again, and his nose naturally suffered a big disaster, and tears and golden flowers suddenly flew in his eyes.

Hearing the sound was also a muffled snort, and he closed his eyes for a long time before he gasped.

She went out in men's clothes, and she had a restraint on her chest. At this moment, if you are suddenly hit again, who really hurts who knows.

Xin Wei didn't care about explaining and comforting them, but first smiled at the warrior monks in the dark.

Although she was covered by a mask, the corners of her lips and her amiable gesture were trying her best to convey kindness.

Seeing this, the warrior monks silently closed their momentum and did not show up.

Although Xin Wei stopped in time and didn't let Li Fengming really make a big move, the identities of the people present were not simple, and they noticed something strange and looked at them one after another.

Xiao Mingche and Lian Zhen in front also turned their heads, scrutinizing with vigilance in their eyes.

However, they only saw a girl in a scarlet shirt hiding in the arms of a blue-shirted boy in the middle row against the wall.

hugging each other so intimately in front of everyone's eyes, it looks like a young couple who are bold in love.

Why is it a young couple?

Because the girl in the scarlet dress was holding a lily bun representing her marriage, and a butterfly hairpin with a gold thread tassel inserted.

The hairpin is very delicate, and the wings of the little butterfly will flutter lightly, adding a delicate and agile feeling.

Xiao Mingche and Lian Zhen were not interested in peeking into the insolent intimacy of the strange young couple, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, they turned back again.

In the end, Xiao Mingche bought the box of pearls at the price of a thousand gold without any suspense.

He didn't know that there was a tearful gaze that wanted to poke two bloody holes in his back.

Li Fengming's eyes still had tears in his eyes that had hit his nose before.

She stared at Xiao Mingche's back, and roared in her heart, I like pearls so much, you said it earlier! I'll sell it to you for 800 gold!" I don't even count that box as your money, give it away for free!

It's a pity that it's a foregone conclusion, and she's just incompetent and furious.

Afterwards, the abbot on the pulpit himself showed the second item that had not been previewed.

It's an ordinary-looking pale green bag.

The young monk standing beside him said in a loud voice, "The news in the bag is related to the position of 'Dusi'. The identity of the seller is not revealed, the source is unknown, and whether it is credible or not needs to be considered by yourself. The starting price is fifteen hundred gold. ”

Last month, Emperor Qi issued an edict to add the post of "Du Si" to supervise all affairs except for the dispatch of troops and generals, bypassing the military headquarters and reporting directly to the Son of Heaven.

The capital division is served by the children of the clan above the county king in turn, each time for half a year, and the Huai King Xiao Mingche is appointed as the first southern border army capital division.

This matter has long been posted outside the palace gate for everyone to know, but when Xiao Mingche should take office, Emperor Qi has not officially given a clear statement.

When Xiao Mingche will take office, it doesn't seem to be a big deal on the surface, just wait for the □□ of the Sacred Heart.

However, national politics and court affairs have always affected the whole body, and any abnormality may have an impact on the pattern of the court.

It's not ridiculous for stakeholders to spend a thousand or two dollars on luck and buy a message that isn't sure if it's useful.

But there is one thing that Li Fengming hates to understand-

The mysterious seller sat on the ground and raised the sky-high price, and the group of faceless buyers in the audience also closed their eyes and increased the price.

The craziest thing is that the news with a starting price of 1,500 gold dares not to guarantee the authenticity of the source!

In the sound of the monks' frequent shouting, Li Fengming's eyes were about to fall to the ground.

She leaned closer to Wenyin's ear and whispered, "On this occasion, people have always been like this, stupid and have a lot of money?" ”

Hearing the sound, he nodded his hair and smiled, "It's a common thing." ”

After all, the news in the bag is directly related to Xiao Mingche, and Li Fengming sweated in his palms, for fear that he would become the "most stupid person with the most money" in the audience.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Mingche did not show the slightest interest in this green bag, and did not call the price once.

The green bag was sold for a staggering price of 2,100 gold, and was purchased by a middle-aged man in a silver-white scribe's robe.

The last item is a gold bag on a red background, but it's even more outrageous than the previous blue bag, not even a "message", but an "opportunity".

"Those who get this tip can be escorted by nobles and smoothly enter Xia Wang's royal court. The source is reliable, and once the transaction is closed, the buyer and seller can meet separately for follow-up matters. ”

As soon as the monk said this, Li Fengming was really dumbfounded.

She read the history of Qi in the Dicui Mountain Palace for half a year, and later asked Xiao Mingche, so she knew that there was no imperial examination in Qi State, and Xia Wangzhi was the only way for a scholar from a poor family to embark on a career.

Scholars from all over the country must first find a local dignitary who has given a knighthood, and only after obtaining a guaranteed recommendation can they enter Beijing.

In June, under the joint auspices of the Ministry of Officials and the University Scholars' Academy, these scholars who have been recommended by the Ministry of Officials have to go through three rounds of screening: "Gathering Hope", "Comparing Texts", and "Discussing Strategies".

In the end, the 50 best people who were selected were eligible to go to the Imperial Palace.

Although it is not that there must be an official after the royal answer, if you can enter the list of fifty people, you will not return empty-handed.

Those who were not selected by Emperor Qi would be selected by the East Palace or a few princes' mansions, which was also a good way out for commoners from poor backgrounds.

But what is this doing now? A chance to sell the Imperial Answer with a lot of money?!

In the past few years, Wenyin will come here every once in a while to watch the excitement, but not every month.

Therefore, the earth-shattering absurdity of selling "Xia Wang's Imperial Answer Quota" is also the first time she has encountered it.

She was stunned for a long time.

It wasn't until the end of the concert and when he and Li Fengming left the lecture hall that Wenyin muttered in a low voice, "In the long run, I'm afraid Daqi will be over." ”

Although her voice was not loud, Li Fengming was still startled, and hurriedly pulled her away quickly.

As everyone knows, Xiao Mingche and Lian Zhen were standing on the steps less than ten steps away from them.

Both of them have experienced battlefield killings, and their ears are still sharp. It wasn't that far away, so they all vaguely heard it.

Lian Zhen turned her head to look at Xiao Mingche and said with a smile, "I walked away before, and I thought it was a prodigal boy who would only hug his wife." ”

Xiao Mingche nodded, turned around and said to Xiao Mingxun, the king of Fujun who came out later, "Just now, that kid in the corner also sent someone to follow him to see what the way he came from." ”

"Okay, fifth brother, don't worry."

When he left Tantuo Temple, King Fujun was still not very reconciled, and got out of the carriage and ran back.

Xiao Mingche was about to beat the horse, and when he saw him going and returning, he reined in the reins of the horse and looked at him suspiciously. "Anything else?"

King Fujun simply lowered his voice, "Fifth brother, can you give me that box of pearls?" I'll buy it from you at a higher price, or you can ask me to exchange something else. Shu'er's birthday is approaching, I agreed to help her cut a new beaded dress, but I haven't found such a beautiful pearl for months......"

Shu'er is Cao Shu, the princess of Fujun.

In the face of King Fujun's sincere plea, Xiao Mingche was so indifferent that he didn't have the slightest human touch. ”

King Fujun tilted his head and squinted, looked up at him suspiciously, and said with a tentative tone, "Do you want to give it to your sister-in-law?" ”

Xiao Mingche, who was holding the box, had an indifferent face: "No." ”

It's not a gift, it's a return to its original owner. This is Li Fengming's thing.

"Oh......" King Fukujun let out a meaningful "tsk" strange sound.

Disappointed back in the carriage, King Fukujun sighed when he told his wife about the regretful result.

Princess Fujun pouted, "Recently, many people have been spreading that the fifth brother is very cold to the fifth sister-in-law, and he won't touch it." The pearls I bought with a lot of money today are not for my wife...... Hmph, most of them are fascinated by wild goblins. ”

She wants to go to the Huai Wang's Mansion to tell the truth, otherwise the fifth sister-in-law is so pitiful.

King Fujun took her into his arms and smiled bitterly, "Don't make trouble." ”

Before the end of the day, Xiao Mingche returned to the Huaiwang Mansion.

Aunt Jiang asked him a few trivial things, and presented the two greetings she received today.

Xiao Mingche took it and coughed dryly, "Is there anything strange about the princess recently?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there is nothing unusual. It's just that you hurt your face when you were drunk last time, and you didn't get out of the hospital for several days, and it took two days to recover. ”

Aunt Jiang paused at his face, and said, "I went out before dawn this morning, and I brought Xin Wei with me." said that he had an appointment with the Wenyin girl from the scholar's family. ”

"Oh." Xiao Mingche always felt that Aunt Jiang's eyes were wrong. It seems to be looking at a negative man, and he dares to be angry but dare not speak.

After returning to the north courtyard to bathe and change clothes, Xiao Mingche sat alone in the study for a long time.

Over the years, many people have told him that your mother died because she gave birth to you, so you have to live no matter how difficult it is.

Live, and then what? No one told him.

He's been living very numbly.

Whether it is going to the battlefield to fight for his life in exchange for a foothold, or clumsy but trying his best to fight step by step, struggling to survive, all for the empty word "alive".

There is not much thought and ambition, and there is not even much joy, anger and sorrow.

Whether it is gained or lost, it doesn't seem to make much difference to him, and he doesn't know what to do.

However, since Li Fengming held his hand in the snow, some things seemed to be slowly different.

But he couldn't tell what was different.

At the end of last month, Li Fengming's palace banquet was drunk, and a drunken madness was scattered back to the mansion from the road, and in the past few days, Xiao Mingche has become more and more unsure of what to do with her.

Recently, he hadn't seen Li Fengming for several days, but everyone around him seemed to be secretly condemning him with their eyes, words, and expressions.

He didn't bother to make any excuses, and he didn't know what to do.

After all, the strange relationship between him and Li Fengming is something that even he doesn't know what it is.

When he was in charge, Xiao Mingche finally reluctantly straightened out his chaotic thoughts, and roughly thought about what he would say when he saw Li Fengming later.

Only then did he take the key to the treasury, hugged the box of pearls bought by his daughter today, and slowly swallowed out of the north courtyard.

When he walked to the gate of Li Fengming's courtyard, Xiao Mingche stopped, took a deep breath, and his heartbeat suddenly became disordered.

It's really inexplicable.

When I first went to the battlefield to cut people, I was like water, but at this moment I just want to see Li Fengming and say a few words to her, what is this heart jumping around?

In the midst of his irritability and introspection, he caught a glimpse of someone coming this way, and turned his head to look.

At this look, the blood around Xiao Mingche froze,

The people who came were Li Fengming and Xin Wei, who had just returned from outside.

Li Fengming strode forward, talking to Xin Wei as he walked. From time to time, he made a gesture of no small amplitude, like excitement, and like excitement.

She was dressed in a soft and elegant crimson dress, combed in a lily bun, and the butterfly hairpin with gold thread tassels in her hair was delicate and smart.

As her figure moved, the little butterfly gently flapped its beautiful golden wings, shining brightly, stinging Xiao Mingche's eyes far away.

When Li Fengming walked up, he was unusually and took the initiative to speak, "Aunt Jiang said, you have an appointment with Wenyin today." ”

He heard his voice dry and dry, and his tone was stiff.

Li Fengming frowned and stared at him, "Yes, I made an appointment with Wenyin during the last palace banquet." ”

Swindler.

Xiao Mingche stared at her, and the scene in the lecture hall kept flashing back in front of him.

The woman in the crimson dress threw herself into the arms of the blue-shirted boy. The small butterflies on the golden hairpin gently flap their little wings between the lily buns.

He felt that his eyes might suddenly be bloodshot, and looking at the liar in front of him, it was like a pale red halo.

Xiao Mingche thought that he had to go to the Fujun Mansion immediately to ask about the identity of the blue-shirted boy.

No matter whose family that kid is, no matter how capable that kid is, what ambitions and bosom he has, he has to be sacked and sunk in the river tonight.

A wild man who seduces someone else's wife must be sunk into the river.

This violent and gloomy thought arose, and it could no longer be suppressed.

Xiao Mingche suddenly stuffed the box of pearls in his hand, along with the hot treasury key in his palm, into Li Fengming's arms, and was about to leave.

But he froze again and looked at Li Fengming sluggishly.

"I haven't even glared at you yet, but you glared at me first?!" Li Fengming's face suddenly burned red like cooked shrimp.

"Honestly, do your claws have opened the eyes of the sky, or do they not have long eyes?!"

"I ......" Xiao Mingche was extremely embarrassed, "it was an accident." ”

Li Fengming threw the box to the stunned Xin Wei, and then rushed towards Xiao Mingche with an angry red face, and started fighting fiercely.

"It doesn't matter if you're accidental or unexpected!"

"You are a big man with a lot of money, and you actually spent 1,000 gold to buy the pearls I sold for 80 gold!"

"If Xin Wei hadn't pressed me into Wenyin's arms, I would have rushed up and knocked off your head!"

"I calmed down for most of the day, and finally decided not to beat you!"

"But your arrogant claws have attacked my 'big mind' for the second time! It's unbearable! ”

Xin Wei, who was watching the battle, was a little confused.

She wasn't sure if it was a problem with her eyes, or if Xiao Mingche was beaten stupid by Her Royal Highness.

His Royal Highness King Huai, who obviously has no expression on weekdays, was actually beaten and laughed, what is the situation?!

。
