Chapter 63: The Fallen Scholar (1)
Chapter 63
Fallen Scholar (1)
"You still dislike me!"
Gu Shaoqing glared at her, raised his arm and put it under his nose to sniff, he did smell a burst of sweat, and wrinkled his nose with a cold.
"It's really a little smelly, but it can't be helped, it's strange to stay with a group of stinky men every day."
He stuffed his helmet into Yingyue's arms and put his arms around Song Li's shoulders again, "Let's go, Yipinxuan, you're in for a treat!" ”
"I'm in a carriage, what about you?"
Song Li once again put aside Gu Shaoqing's hand.
Gu Shaoqing raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and soon a guard led a horse over.
"I ride a horse." He took the reins and turned over on the horse, tightened the reins and said to the guard leading the horse: "Go back to the house and pack a set of clean clothes and send them to Yipinxuan, and by the way, tell my mother, I will go back later tonight." ”
"Yes, young master!"
The guard bowed.
"Let's go."
Song Li climbed into the carriage, opened the curtain, glanced at Gu Shaoqing, and said to the horseman.
The carriage swayed slowly, Gu Shaoqing sat on the tall horse, grabbed the reins and talked to Song Li through the window.
After exiting the road leading to the palace, turn right and you will find a main street.
At this time, the city is lit up, and the streets are full of all kinds of stalls, and the sound of vendors is coming and going. The streets are bustling with people.
There is a faint sound of singing in the nearby restaurant, and someone is performing acrobatics not far in front, which is a peaceful scene.
Song Li opened the curtain, poked out half of his head, and looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked.
The afterglow of the light spread on her face, covering her features with a red veil.
Her eyes were shining like jade beads under the lamplight, her eyes were clear as water, and her eyelashes were slender and thick like a fan, trembling slightly with her movements.
Gu Shaoqing looked at her sideways, slightly stunned, and her eyes became gentle inch by inch.
The world says that Miss Bai San of the Prime Minister's Mansion is elegant and vulgar, with a light and quiet atmosphere, and she is a rare beauty, but she doesn't know that the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion Song is generous, her temperament is extraordinary, and her mind is clean like a fairy overlooking the crowd on the top of the nine heavens, without a trace of earthly fireworks and dirt.
It's just that this fairy is yawning at this time, which is a little unsightly......
"Pay attention to the image."
Gu Shaoqing looked at Song Li's mouth opening and almost stuffing an egg, the beautiful illusion in his mind was instantly shattered, the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely, and he raised his hand to hit her head without hesitation.
Song Li didn't have time to dodge, and was hit firmly, although it didn't hurt, her face couldn't help but turn red, "Leave me alone!" She muttered a curse, retracted her head in embarrassment, and lowered the curtain.
"Miss, what are you blushing about?"
Yingyue suddenly came up to her and looked at her with a wicked smile.
She touched her cheek, looking incredulous, "Is there one?" ”
Yingyue nodded heavily with a smile and said firmly: "Yes!" ”
Song Li was about to refute a few words, but she heard a sudden roar of horses outside, and then the carriage shook rapidly, and her body slammed against the wall of the carriage with the shaking of the carriage.
Yingyue's center of gravity was unstable, and the whole person pounced on her.
"Where did you come from, a stinky scholar! If you want to die, don't die under my carriage! The groom raised his whip and scolded angrily, "You are blind with such a big town, you dare to slander the carriage of the Guogong Mansion?" I'm tired of being alive, aren't you? ”
"Is Little Ion okay?"
Gu Shaoqing suddenly lifted the curtain and looked at her worriedly.
She shook her head, touched the big bag on the back of her head, which was swollen to the naked eye, and hissed to help Yingyue up.
Song Li frowned and pushed Gu Shaoqing away, only to see a man in a somewhat faded cyan robe lying on the road in front of the carriage, with a pile of books scattered next to him.
He didn't talk back, he raised his hand slightly and rubbed his head, his bloodless lips tightened.
The coachman was still yelling and swearing.
Passers-by stopped to watch, commenting on the driver's attitude, but no one stepped forward to pull the man up.
"Alright."
Song Li suddenly stopped the coachman with a soft shout, and then jumped out of the carriage holding the back of his head.
"What's going on?"
She looked at the man but asked the coachman.
The coachman put away the whip in his hand, pointed at the man angrily and said loudly: "Miss, this scholar walked well before, who knew that he suddenly lay down on the road, if it wasn't for the slave to rein in time to kill at this time!" ”
Song Li nodded, bent down to pick up the scattered books, squatted in front of the man, and stared at the man, "What's wrong?" ”
The man lowered his arms, a wry smile on his face, and staggered to his feet, lifting his chin lightly to reveal a well-defined face with clear eyebrows. The man had a pair of very beautiful eyes, dark and deep, with a little white in the middle, like the bright stars in the dark night.
The sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, the bridge of the nose is high, and the pale face is a little sickly.
"This young lady, the little one didn't mean to disturb your travel, just ......"
Song Li looked at the man's face, a trace of depth flashed in her eyes, she interrupted his words, and said slowly in a low voice: "Not feeling well? ”
The man smiled wryly and nodded.
"It looks like it's a little malnourished." A faint smile rose at the corner of Song Li's mouth, took out a silver ingot from his waist and threw it into the man's arms, turned around and walked towards the carriage, and said as he walked: "You are lucky, take it, eat a good meal, don't forget to repay Miss Ben when you are named on the gold list in the future." ”
"Little Ion, when did you become so generous? Such a big ingot of silver will be given when you say it? ”
Gu Shaoqing looked at the man for a moment, and quickly followed Song Li and asked curiously.
"You talk a lot!"
Song Li climbed into the carriage, suddenly turned around and glared at Gu Shaoqing fiercely, calmly got into the carriage, and said to the groom, "Let's go." ”
The man stood where he was, looking at the carriage that had passed him away, his expression a little crying and laughing.
He quickly bent down and picked up Song Li's stack of books, looked at the carriage in the distance, and asked the people on the side curiously, "May I ask if that is the eight-year-old poisoned eldest lady Song Li from the Zhenguo Mansion just now?" ”
"Yes, you kid is lucky, not only is it okay to disturb the nobles, but you also picked up such a big ingot of silver for nothing."
A middle-aged man frequently glanced at the silver in his hand and said with envy.
The man's thin lips pursed slightly, looking at the carriage that had been hidden in the crowd, and his eyes were a little deep.
He whispered thanks to the man, took out a clean handkerchief from his bosom, and carefully wrapped the silver into his sleeve.
He traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to catch the exam, and he had almost wrapped the coils on his body along the way. Just when he was worried about the money, someone gave alms, just as the girl had said that he was lucky.
Although it is said that a gentleman does not eat what he comes, he has fallen into the end of his rope at this time, and he can't care about anything else.
He secretly wrote down this kindness, and decided in his heart that he would come to the door in the future to thank him in person.
He dragged his weak body step by step to a chaos stall on the side of the street and sat down, ordered a wonton, and then looked down to find that the hem of his clothes had a big hole.
He smiled, the bitterness on his face deepened a little, and his expression was a little trance-like.
The boss quickly brought him a steaming chaos, and he didn't care about the heat, so he ate it hungrily.
Soon solved the satiety, he asked the boss about the concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion, and after learning about Song Li's bad past, he suddenly regretted accepting the silver.
If, as the boss said, Song Li is arrogant and domineering, brutal and willful, then what if he comes to the door to thank him in the future, she deliberately makes things difficult for herself or coerces him to do what he is not willing to do.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out two copper plates from his sleeve, paid the wontons, and followed the way of the carriage to find Song Li.
The entrance of Yipinxuan.
Song Li jumped down from the carriage, looked up at the restaurant where the lantern was hanging high in front of her, just like daytime, and saw a majestic and lifelike big golden toad at the door of the restaurant, and a trace of surprise quickly flashed in her eyes.
Looking inside, there is a hall, the lights are a little dim, there is a stage in the middle of the hall, there are dancers on the stage are performing, the melodious sound of the piano comes from it, the hall is full, and the noisy chatter is constantly coming from inside.
Fighting with modern bars, I can't imagine that there was a night-style restaurant in ancient times.
Gu Shaoqing turned over and dismounted, handed the reins in his hand to the little guy on the side, and shouted into the hall, "Shopkeeper, quickly vacate the master's box!" ”
His voice was loud and light, let alone this shopkeeper, I am afraid that the shopkeeper of this street heard his voice.
It's a shame that this voice doesn't sing high notes.
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man about forty years old in gray brocade holding a gold bead abacus ran out in a panic, his face full of flattering smiles, "Master Gu, you're here!" His eyes narrowed into a slit, and he raised his hand to invite them inside, "Don't worry, your small box has always been reserved for you!" ”
Song Li looked at the golden abacus in the old man's hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Shopkeeper, this is made of gold, it's pretty good-looking, can you give me the palm of your hand?" ”
The old man looked at his face with a smile full of meaning, presented the abacus to her with both hands, and said with a smile: "Miss Song, please take a look." ”
Song Li took the abacus, fiddled with it in her hand, and followed the shopkeeper into the hall, she stared at it for a moment, and soon found that the layout in this hall was unexpectedly different.
The placement of many things seems to be disorderly, but in fact it forms a feng shui bureau.
This golden abacus can also be regarded as an indispensable existence in this feng shui bureau.
"It seems that the shopkeeper has been instructed by a master, no wonder business is so prosperous."
She smiled and returned the abacus to the shopkeeper, and followed Gu Shaoqing to the second floor.
The shopkeeper hunched his waist, a touch of color flowed out of his eyes, and he kept nodding, "Miss Song is really not simple, and you can see the difference in our store at a glance." ”
Song Li stood at the corner of the second floor overlooking the entire hall and nodded thoughtfully.
I can't imagine that in this dynasty that does not exist in history, there are still people who can use the feng shui bureau of gold toad to accept wealth.
Suddenly, she thought of the formation in Chu Rong's courtyard, and her eyes were faintly dissipated.
There are similarities in this game, and it is clear that it is the work of the same person.
But in recent years, she has never heard of a master in Beijing who understands this area......
"Who gave you this bureau, I'm a little curious, I don't know if the shopkeeper can recommend one or two?"
She suddenly wondered what this man was all about.
