Lu Youyou, who underestimated the speed of the carriage, just lifted the curtain, and saw the small courtyard not far ahead, this place is not far from Baicao Valley, just because there is a formation outside Baicao Valley, once people who don't understand it mistakenly enter it, they will inevitably get dizzy and go around for most of the day.

It's just that at the gate of the dilapidated and ugly courtyard, there is still a luxuriously decorated carriage parked, from the outside, it is not inferior to Li Qi's car, Lu Youyou can't help but be a little surprised, a poor scholar like Zhang Ruoxu actually has such a friend to come to the door?

But as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the familiar and stiff accent coming from inside, and Lu Youyou knew who it was.

That's right, except for that rich, wayward fanatical fan Fujiwara, who else can block the door at someone's door so unceremoniously?

"Sir, do you know that the last envoy sent the Tang envoy to bring your book back to my country, and everyone rushed to circulate it, as you said, Luoyang paper is expensive. In the next is also admired, if you can invite Mr. Dongdu, the above guests will be treated. And why be snubbed here? ”

"Your Excellency's kindness can only be understood. At present, the imperial examination will be tried soon, please do not mention the matter of leaving Beijing. ”

When Lu Youyou heard that Fujiwara actually wanted to abduct Zhang Ruoxu and return to Japan, he was immediately anxious, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards the courtyard, "Zhang Gongzi is right, he will try soon, and he must not leave, otherwise it will not be in vain for you to study hard for ten years?" ”

"Miss Lu?" Zhang Ruoxu heard her voice, raised his eyes, but unexpectedly saw Li Qi who followed her, remembering the last time they met in the bookstore, there was a little clarity in his eyes, "The two of you are here, and you are disappointed, and you hope to forgive your sins." ”

Lu Youyou hurriedly saluted him and said, "I came in a hurry to hand in the sketch, and it was rude to come." ”

"Painted?"

When Fujiwara heard this, he didn't care about persuading Zhang Ruoxu anymore, so he hurried up to see the painting.

Lu Youyou drew a total of four illustrations, namely "First Meeting", "Couplet", "Bosom Friend", and "Farewell", which carefully painted the male and female protagonists of "Youxian Cave" from seeing each other to knowing each other to parting with each other, according to the scenes depicted in the book, not only the characters are lifelike, but even the eyes are like substance, making people look at the painting as if they are there, as if they can see the situation when the two people are together.

Seeing that Fujiwara and Zhang Ruoxu both had their eyes shining and were full of praise.

"It's just a pity, the next few paragraphs have no pictures, I don't know ......"

Fujiwara admired, but also a little regretful, he not only loves this legendary beautiful text, gorgeous chapters, but also likes the delicate love silk and beautiful scenes, Lu Youyou's paintings are extremely realistic, in his opinion, if you can draw those scenes, you will be able to attract more craze, but she is a woman, in front of everyone, he is inconvenient to say directly.

Although he didn't say anything, Li Qi knew it as soon as he heard it, and immediately snorted coldly and said, "If you want to see that kind of painting, buy it yourself, Miss Lu won't paint it for you." ”

Lu Youyou didn't understand it at first, but when he saw Li Qi's reaction, he also looked back, thinking of the XX culture of those fires in Japan in later generations, it turned out that there were already signs of it in this era, and he immediately nodded and said: "Zhang Gongzi is talented, although "Youxian Cave" is a legend of Fengyue, but the text is beautiful and gorgeous, and the couplet is wonderful. ”

Zhang Ruoxu smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you Miss Lu for your praise." This was just a playful work, just to get a little money to live, but I didn't expect it to arouse Brother Fujiwara's enthusiasm to this point, but it made a certain shame. ”

"If I'm ashamed, I should apologize to the two of you."

Lu Youyou said apologetically: "The previous incident of the flower party, I instigated Sister Qingyi to go to the competition and paint in her name, so I didn't dare to confess to the two, but I am really sorry that Zhang Gongzi misunderstood Sister Qingyi." ”

Zhang Ruoxu frowned when he heard this, and asked, "If the lady of the Du family is unintentional, how can she allow you to ghostwrite?" In fact, she benefited, and the girl was sincere and defended her friends, and she did not have to cover up and defend such hypocrites. ”

"Zhang Gongzi really misunderstood." Lu Youyou bowed deeply and said with a wry smile: "Qingyi just admired Childe's talent, but I came up with the idea of pulling her to the flower party and taking the initiative to compete on her behalf, which caused Childe to misunderstand...... Thousands of mistakes are my fault, Qingyi has been punished by the master, and I hope that Master Zhang Gongzi will have a lot, don't misunderstand again. ”

Zhang Ruoxu was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly avoided it, "Miss Lu doesn't have to be polite, I just don't speculate with the Du family's lady, if it is false and wronged, I am afraid that it will cause misunderstanding and hinder the lady's innocence." ”

Lu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue to persuade, but Li Qi interjected from the side and asked: "I just heard that Zhang Gongzi is preparing for the exam, so he should concentrate on studying, don't mention these children's affairs again, so as not to disturb Gongzi's preparation." ”

"It's not okay to bother," Zhang Ruoxu smiled bitterly, "I have heard for a long time that the capital is not easy to live in, although I have the heart to prepare for the exam, but now I have no way to submit the papers, I have not found a guarantor, and I don't know if I can enter the examination." ”

Li Qi frowned slightly, and asked: "I have heard for a long time that Gongzi is famous, I heard that at the Lantern Festival Literary Conference, Gongzi's poetry and writing won the championship and moved the capital, how could he not find anyone to guarantee the reference?" ”

"Of course it's offended!" Fujiwara said indignantly: "I have long heard that the Heavenly Dynasty selects scholars by imperial examinations, only on talent and learning, not on background. But I didn't expect that this would have to be recommended by the nobles of the family and the officials of the court, Zhang Gongzi only offended the high-ranking officials, not only had nowhere to live in the capital, but was forced to live here, and no one dared to guarantee him. I just asked him to go east with me, at least on our side, with Zhang Gongzi's talent, he would never be treated coldly by this. ”

Lu Youyou couldn't help but be stunned, and asked curiously: "Since Zhang Gongzi came to Beijing to prepare for the exam, how could he offend high-ranking officials?" Can you ask someone to make peace? ”

Zhang Ruoxu sighed lightly: "I just wrote a poem for Miss Yingying at the request, but I didn't expect to offend the son of the prime minister." Now Yao is quite reprimanded by the public, saying that my behavior is debauched and contrary to the law of etiquette, who dares to make peace for me? ”

"Who is the warbler girl?" As soon as Lu Youyou asked, he heard Fujiwara gloating and laughed: "That's the number one famous prostitute in Zuifanglou, I don't know how many sons in the city spend a lot of money, but they can't see it, but she has a heart for Zhang Gongzi and asks for poetry with a lot of money, how can she not attract jealousy?" ”

When Lu Youyou heard this, Fang Cai's sympathy was suddenly swept away, "It's really a pity, to win the reputation of Qinglou Bo Xing, and to be jealous and lose fame...... It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Li Qi couldn't help but feel happy when he saw her gloating appearance, and his wariness of Zhang Ruoxu was also a little lighter.

Zhang Ruoxu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The girl misunderstood." How can you go to the place where the green house sells gold? When I was a child, my parents died, and my family property was occupied by the clan, if it weren't for a kind Taoist who raised me and taught me to read and write, how could I be today? Even the entanglement of going to Beijing to catch the exam was earned by copying scripts, whether it was "Youxian Grotto" or Song of the Oriole, they were all made for a living. If it weren't for the poor and no place to stand, how could I bend my waist for this blockage? ”

"In that case, why don't you come with me?" Fujiwara hurriedly said: "If you work so hard to participate in the examination, you will be criticized, since the prime minister does not like you, it will definitely hinder your career in the future, but if you go back with me, with the talent of the childe, you will definitely be treated as a guest by the emperor......"

"No need!" Li Qi interrupted Fujiwara's gushing words of advice and said, "It's just a matter of protecting people, it's a trivial matter. All you need to do is prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and I will arrange for someone to guarantee it for you, and I will contact you when I have the letter ready. ”

"Really?" Zhang Ruoxu was overjoyed, and looked at Li Qi deeply, "The great kindness of the son, there is no way to repay ......"

"Then you don't have to report it." Lu Youyou hurriedly said: "When you are in the gold list high school, it's not too late to thank him, it's still important to prepare for the exam now." ”

Li Qi glanced at her, "Since you know, then don't bother Zhang Gongzi again, let's go!" ”

With that, he turned around and left, not wanting to be courteous again, nor wanting her to talk to them about scripts and illustrations anymore, and delay time without playing.

"Wait for me!" Lu Youyou hurriedly picked up the money bag that Fujiwara had prepared for her a long time ago, and chased after her.

Fujiwara looked at Li Qi's back and frowned, "Brother Zhang can trust this person?" Where did he come from, so that he could ignore Yao Xiang's words and vouch for you? ”

Zhang Ruo sighed for a moment and said, "Since he doesn't want to reveal his identity and has already said that he will arrange a guarantor for me, then why should I go to the bottom of the matter and make an incident in my life?" ”

Fujiwara laughed dryly twice, and nodded helplessly, "Okay, then I'll wish Brother Zhang the title of the gold list first!" However, with my eastward crossing, please Brother Zhang think about it again, even if it's just to play for a few days......"

"Let's talk about it......"
