The old servant said, "It's all over." ”

Wang Yan asked, "How much silver did your mother let you bring?" He remembered it all the way, and he didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately, and he lived in an ordinary inn. The silver ran out so quickly, and there was no need to think that it must be a conspiracy of his mother.

The old servant said, "Twenty taels." ”

The young man almost screamed, thinking that he couldn't lose his temper, and his mother was watching him in the capital, so he took a deep breath and asked with a smile: "This trip is far from the mountains, how can you only bring twenty taels?" ”

The old servant explained: "It makes no difference if you bring more or less. When you go out and carry a lot of gold and silver with you, it is a curse if you steal or rob your possessions when they are exposed. Sometimes when I go out into the wilderness, I can't buy anything even if I have money. Therefore, the two adults said that letting the young master fend for himself is the original intention of traveling. ”

The young man said: "Fend for yourself? More than that. ”

The old servant asked, "More than what?" ”

The young man said, "I'm fending for myself, what about you?" ”

The old servant lowered his eyes and said humbly: "The old slave has nothing to do, so he not only follows the young master, but also invites the young master to enjoy a bite of food." ”

The young man said: "In other words, the master not only has to fend for himself, but also to support you?" Now you can't go to the world and the ground, you just tell me! ”

He finally couldn't help but roar.

The old servant raised his eyes and said, "Young Master, there is no endless road to heaven!" ”

The young man said, "Then you tell the master, where will you stay tonight?" What to eat? ”

The old servant said: "This is for the young master to think." As soon as the young master left the capital, the experience began. For now, if the gold and silver are stolen, the result will be the same. ”

Wang Yan was angry and turned to look at the way he came.

No, it's looking at the capital.

He saw his mother, leaning on the railing under the cloister of the Spring Rain Pavilion, leisurely flipping through the book, and in the early summer evening, the sunset was slanting on the water, which was extremely beautiful.

He took another deep breath, turned his head and said, "Enter the city." ”

On the way into the city, Wang Yan secretly thought about the idea: What to eat tonight? Where to stay? Before he could think about it, he was stopped at the city gate.

The person who came was the steward of a local grange of the Wang family.

The old servant was very surprised: Since the two adults want to train the young master, why did they send someone to answer before they started? He thought it was Liang Xinming who regretted it.

Alas, a woman is a woman after all.

Mothers are so defeated!

The steward led them into a room that had been opened long ago, took out a letter from his bosom and gave it to Wang Yan, and then went out to arrange supper.

Wang Yan thought that his mother had some tricks, so he opened the letter with vigilance, stared at it, and said in a lost voice: "How is it possible!" ”

The old servant hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Yan said dumbfoundedly: "The emperor is gone." ”

Old Servant: "......"

The news was shocking.

Who would have thought that Emperor Jing Kang, who was in the prime of life, would die because of a cold?

No wonder Liang Xinming sent someone to intercept them.

Liang Xinming said in the letter that the emperor was on his deathbed, and she was reappointed as the imperial history of the left capital, the crown prince and the prince, and the cabinet minister. and ordered her to assist the little emperor with Wang Heng, Cui Yuan, Prince Yu, Xie Yaohui, and Chen Xiuwen.

Then, it's a matter of instructing some trivial things.

Wang Yan knew that it was inconvenient for his mother to write in detail.

He doesn't care about competing with his parents anymore - his father and mother set up the same cabinet and assisted the new emperor, and the Wang family is in full swing, and he doesn't think it's a good thing.

Count the days, it's time for the will of the court to come down.

He decided to stay here for two days and wait for news.

On the third day, he went to the street to inquire, and sure enough, the will of the imperial court came down, and the local government issued a notice: the emperor is in a big way, and the people will be mourned for three months, and no wedding and funeral banquets will be allowed to drink and have fun in three months. The crown prince ascended the throne, and the country name was Jiaxing.

At the same time, the pattern of the court has also changed greatly:

Xie Yaohui, the former imperial history of the left capital, is now appointed as the secretary of the criminal department, and Pang Zhen, the former secretary of the criminal department, was transferred to Yunzhou and appointed as the envoy of Yunzhou.

The former prefect of Kyoto is simple and complex, and now he is appointed as the head of the household.

Yin Heng, the empress's aunt, was appointed as the prefect of Kyoto.

Chen Xiuwen, the nephew of the queen's mother, was appointed as the secretary of the military department.

……

In addition to the court, in addition, the military has also undergone major changes.

Emperor Daxing's will: Follow the arrangement of the Eastern Green Dragon, the Western White Tiger, the Southern Vermilion Bird, and the Northern Xuanwu, so that the Xuanwu, the Vermilion Bird, and the White Tiger will each return to their respective positions.

Xuanwu Wangyuan guarded the northwest of Dajing; The Vermilion Bird King originally guarded the north of Dajing; Zheng Ji, the Marquis of the White Tiger, has just restored the title and title for more than ten years, and the foundation is still shallow, and the western frontier is mainly guarded by the loyal and brave general Zhao Ziyi; The southern part of Xinjiang was guarded by Zhongyi Gong.

By will, all these people will move places!

After Wang Yan inquired clearly, he immediately made a decision, and ordered the steward to help him sell a horse, buy a broken car, and come back with a bunch of things, and then call the old servant.

"Since you let me give you food, should you listen to me?" He asked.

"This is natural." The old servant said hurriedly.

"Alright, you go check out. Tomorrow we'll get up early and leave here. As he spoke, he handed him five taels of silver.

Although the old servant was puzzled, he did not ask, and turned away.

When I came back when I was young, I asked Wang Yan what else was going on.

Wang Yan stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it." ”

The old servant was confused and asked, "What?" ”

Wang Yan said: "The silver you are looking for!" ”

The old servant looked at him for a while, then took it out of his purse, and took out a silver horn for a long time, about two taels, and handed it to him.

Wang Yan took it and put it in his purse.

"Tomorrow is the beginning of the day." He commanded.

"Yes, young master." The old servant replied.

Wang Yan wanted to say something, but stopped, and waved his hand instead: "Go to sleep." ”

The next day, at the right time, the old servant came and knocked on the door, lest the young man be sleepy and oversleep. But the lights were on in the room, and they heard a knock at the door, and they should come in. ”

The old servant pushed the door open and entered. Only stepped into one foot, and saw a young girl with a double bun sitting under the lamp, she was taken aback, and thought, "I am confused, I actually went to the wrong house." "Hurriedly retracted his feet again. Shrinking in half, he felt that something was wrong, and then stopped, and looked suspiciously at the girl sitting at the table.

A familiar voice said, "Why don't you come in?" ”

The old servant's eyes widened.

The girl in front of her is Wang Yan!

Influenced by Liang Xinming's female disguise as a man's imperial examination, Wang Yan studied a disguise technique. At present, the best way for him to hide his whereabouts is to disguise himself as a man. He shaved the ends of a pair of sword eyebrows, removed the miscellaneous hairs, and cultivated them into a heroic one-line eyebrow with a slender tail; The rest of the face is only lightly retouched. The main reason is that he is dressed as a poor girl, so he can't paint exquisite makeup, otherwise the origin of the fat powder money will be a big flaw. Even so, his appearance has changed dramatically.

However, if you want to experience, you can't just train him. The old servant was sent by his parents to protect him, but in fact to supervise him, and also asked him to earn money to support, of course, to accompany him to practice; Even if the old servant is well-trained and mature, he doesn't need to be trained at all, so he should cooperate with him.

Since he is dressed as a young girl, what is the matter with a bad old man? Therefore, the old servant has to be modified, and it is better to pretend to be a woman.

Wang Yan said: "Mom, come and make up." ”

The old servant's expression suddenly shattered, and he was frightened.

Wang Yan got up and circled around him.

After a few turns, he smiled very unkindly.

Although he is not a handsome young man, he is still very attractive to pretend to be a girl, but at the age and face of an old servant, it is terrifying to pretend to be a woman.

He forced the old servant to sit down, and held the comb as if he were holding a knife, and he was about to slaughter it.

The old servant was frightened and said in a dying struggle: "Young master, in fact, we can pretend to be our ancestors. At my age, it's enough to be your grandfather. ”

Wang Yan looked at the old face in the mirror and asked, "With this girl's demeanor and temperament, do you think it is appropriate to be my grandfather?" ”

The old servant's mind came to mind Wang Yan's grandfather Wang Ji, who was a beautiful man from the official to the second grade, with an elegant bearing and an extraordinary appearance, and he couldn't help but be depressed.

He was not reconciled, and continued to fight: "But my face is not like a woman, it is better to pretend to be an old family." ”

Wang Yan said: "Who did you see a girl going out with a male servant?" Elopement is pretty much the same. Don't talk about it, it's most appropriate to pretend to be a mother-in-law who serves you closely. ”

The old servant looked desperate and stopped fighting.

Wang Yan comforted: "Don't worry. Some women are old and like a yaksha! ”

Old Servant: "......"

Wang Yan held his head, broke his hair, and began to busy: combing his hair, trimming his eyebrows, shaving, painting his face, and wearing earrings.

It's easiest to comb your hair, just put it in a dignified bun.

The eyebrows and eyes are a little difficult to move: the eyebrows are long and draped, the upper eyelids are saggy, covering part of the eyes, and the apricot eyes have become triangular eyes, which are shining between opening and closing, and they look quite scary. Wang Yan carefully cut his eyebrows short, drew them into curved eyebrows, and after a closer look, it was not bad, and then disposed of his beard.

With a sharp dagger, Wang Yan mercilessly shaved all the beards that the old servant had grown for many years. After shaving, the skin on the lips and jaw turned blue, and black spots appeared in the pores - it was a beard pile, and the blind could tell that it was a man!

So Wang Yan took out a box of inferior incense powder and helped him make the powder.

The old servant is a person who practices martial arts, full of energy, and the skin on his face is quite smooth, but the beard is difficult to hide. Wang Yan applied the powder again, looked at his jaw that had not changed much, and couldn't help muttering: "You are too difficult to get, why can't you cover it?" I didn't have to work hard to get it done myself......" Suddenly seeing the old servant in the mirror staring at him with an ugly face, he hurriedly stopped talking and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the master has a pair of Danqing wonderful hands, and there is no bad drawing." ”

Brush the powder, brush the thick powder!

Finally covered!

In the end, Wang Yan took out two soybeans and grinded the old servant's earlobe.

The old servant broke down and reached out to cover his ears.

Wang Yan didn't speak, but first showed him his ears, with silver lilac earrings on his ears, which he wore last night.

The old servant was silent for a moment and let go.

Wang Yan continued to twist the earlobe with satisfaction.

The old servant looked at the "girl" in the mirror and said, "The young master is ruthless enough, even wearing ears." Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed in the future? ”

Wang Yan didn't care and said, "This is a small section. ”

While piercing his ears, he immediately put a pair of silver earrings on him, and then gave him medicine, saying: "It was supposed to take a while to wear them, but it was too late." Fortunately, the medicine that my eldest sister prepared for me is complete. Rest assured, the ears won't rot. ”

The old servant was silent and let him do what he wanted.

In the end, Wang Yan ordered him to change his clothes, put on a set of clothes with a standing collar, and wrapped a blue cloth around his neck to cover the Adam's apple, and stuffed two steamed buns into his chest, saying: "If people ask, you will pretend to be cold." ”

The old servant couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Young master, is this deliberately revenge on me?" ”

I thought that this errand was nothing, but now it seems that the two adults have simply pushed him into the fire pit. He would rather go up to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire than follow this little demon king, be tortured by the little demon king, and pretend to be a woman!

Wang Yan said: "The heart of a villain! Didn't you change it yourself? ”

The old servant muttered, "Kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred." ”

Wang Yan said: "The young master won't do that stupid thing." It makes sense. ”

After dressing up and packing their bags, the two quietly left the inn, drove the remaining horse, and pulled a broken cart out of the city.

Wang Yan said: "Go farther first, and then go to Huizhou to practice." ”
