So, early the next morning, when Duanmu Fei and Hanxing came out of Micuizhai in men's clothes, they saw Wu Gonggong guarding outside against the cold wind and morning dew, and presented them with the square scarves and folding fans he specially prepared.

The so-called square scarf is actually a black leno hat, which is square at all corners when unfolded, so it is also called "square scarf".

After putting on the scarf, the cousins felt a lot taller, and they laughed when they looked at each other.

"Grandpa Wu, you are still careful." Duanmu smiled and praised it, shaking the folding fan with interest, feeling that he was really a graceful and graceful son today.

Grandpa Wu was flattered and said "I don't dare to be", he was proud in his heart, and felt that he had shown his face in front of the four girls this time.

Wu Gonggong personally sent the cousins to the gate of the palace and watched the two ride away.

The two little girls had a clear goal and rode straight to the Champion Building.

After putting on men's clothes, both of them looked a year or two younger than their actual age, with red lips and white teeth, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the places where they rode their horses attracted the curious eyes of many passers-by.

When they arrived at the Champion Building, it was only the time when they arrived, and there were already many people in the teahouse.

In the capital, there was originally a gathering of students of all sizes every three or five days, but since the accident of the tenth national eunuch at the beginning of the Lunar New Year, no students dared to gather casually in front of the public, and even the business of some teahouses was a lot colder.

After stopping for so many days, today there is a well-known Confucian Hong Yiluo in person, attracting many literati and scholars.

In the teahouse, there is a noise, crowded, whether it is the lobby on the first floor, or the railing on the second floor is full of guests, as far as the eye can see, the black pressure is a piece, the faces of those tea guests are radiant, as if they have eaten some panacea.

"Have the two guests booked a seat?" Xiao Er, who stepped forward to greet the guest, asked with a smile.

Duanmu Fei and Han Xing looked at each other, and remembered one thing slowly, they only cared about coming out to see the excitement today, and forgot to send someone to the champion building in advance to make a reservation.

Of course, the two cousins were unwilling to return in vain, Duanmu cleared his throat and said, "Han...... Cousin, my eldest brother must have booked a seat, so let's just go and rub my eldest brother's seat. She didn't want her eldest brother to find out that she was also here, but now she has to settle for the next best thing.

Han Xing pondered for a while, and between Duanmu Heng's nagging and watching the excitement, he decisively chose the latter, "Let's find Cousin Heng......"

Xiao Er was busy greeting other guests again, Duanmufei and Hanxing stretched their necks to look at the corner of the teahouse, and suddenly, Duanmufei's eyes stopped in the northwest corner, and he saw a man in the corner wearing a Taishi green brocade robe and describing a withered man.

The other party showed a kind smile at Duanmu Fei, but he was obviously not used to making this kind of expression, so he smiled a little bit like he didn't smile, and a square-faced young man sitting next to him said secretly in his heart: Cao Qianhu should not laugh, so as not to scare the four girls.

Seeing Cao Qianhu smiling at himself, Duanmu Fei also hooked the corners of his lips, smiled, smiled lively, and smiled slyly.

Hehe, today's tea party is going to be very interesting.

Duanmu Fei pulled Hanxing's sleeve, and the two went out to wait for Duanmu Heng.

So, when Duanmu Heng arrived at the gate of the Zhuangyuan Building after half a cup of tea, he saw two little girls dressed as men smiling and waving at him at the door.

Duanmu Heng's expression was indescribable.

Han Xing called affectionately: "Cousin Heng, you are here." She spoke in a tone as if she had made an appointment with Duanmu Heng a long time ago.

Of course, Li Tingyou, who came here with Duanmu Heng, also saw Duanmu Fei and Han Xing, and really thought that they had made an appointment with Duanmu Heng a long time ago, and politely beckoned them to go in together.

"......" Duanmu Heng was left behind by them as soon as he didn't let go, looked at the backs of the three people in front of him, shook his head with a smile, and followed into the Zhuangyuan Building.

Xiao Er led them to the seats on the second floor and sat down, serving tea and pouring water, and serving melons and fruit snacks.

A scholar in Tsing Yi at the front table was looking down at the lobby on the first floor and said impassionedly: "My Dasheng is a great country, and peace should be precious, so that the barbarians can see the demeanor of a great country." Fighting a war costs the people and money, and there are all kinds of harm but no benefit! ”

"This brother is wrong." Another middle-aged literati in a gray shirt by the window of the lobby stood up and retorted disappreciatively, "Barbarian and unreasonable, such as Nanhuai, who has already conquered Dianzhou and entered Qianzhou, I Dasheng should not fight, are you waiting for Nanhuai people to go all the way north?!" ”

The Tsing Yi scholar on the second floor looked directly at each other and said calmly: "Zi said: There is no class in teaching. Fighting, killing, and killing is also the behavior of barbarians, and it is necessary to educate the barbarians. ”

Someone in the lobby on the first floor immediately made a sneering voice and said coldly: "Whimsical." ”

"If this barbarian can be edified, then it is not called a barbarian!"

Several people in the lobby were convinced, and nodded frequently.

The more those scholars talked, the more excited they became, and they were all enthusiastic and impassioned, eager to climb high and shout, so that everyone in the world could hear their ideas.

There were also people who supported the Tsing Yi scholar on the second floor, and a young scholar wearing a willow-colored dark stripe stood up and said: "The contemptible people think that what this brother upstairs said is not unreasonable, fighting and killing is not the best way to expel the barbarians, isn't it a choice?!" ”

Yes, it is indeed a choice. A few people bowed their heads slightly in agreement.

Duanmu Fei on the second floor was eating melon seeds while watching the excitement, and when his eyes accidentally crossed Cao Qianhu below, he leaned into Duanmu Heng's ear and whispered: "Big brother, Cao Qianhu from Dongchang is also here." ”

Duanmu Heng was stunned, looked down at Duanmu Scarlet's gaze, and out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see an old man of medium height and wearing a azure straight jacket walking in from the gate of the Zhuangyuan Building.

Not only Duanmu Heng saw the visitor, but the other people in the teahouse also saw the old man, and they didn't know who was the first to shout: "Mr. Hong!" ”

The other students also called out one after another, most of them with brilliant eyes and more and more emotional.

It would be a great honor to be accepted as a disciple of this great Confucian with blue eyes.

An unusually bright light flashed in the eyes of the scholar in the willow-colored shirt, and he continued: "Let's think back to the time, when Pu Guo came to commit Dasheng, the lord of Xinle County and the pro-Pu country, over the years, the two countries have not been at peace with each other!" It can be seen that it is a good policy to educate the barbarians by being pro-educated. ”

"Humph!" A blue-clothed scholar slapped the case disapprovingly, "Since ancient times, Puguo has had the nonsense of father dying and son succeeding, and it is really a barbarian state. The lord of Xinle is even more ridiculous, and he is a chicken in the morning, but he is the only one who wants to be at home. Ridiculous, really ridiculous. ”

“……”

Everyone expressed their opinions, and the corners of their eyes glanced at Hong Yiluo from time to time, wanting to show their insights in front of him.

The atmosphere in the teahouse is getting more and more enthusiastic.

Duanmufei and Hanxing unknowingly piled up a hill-like melon seed shell, Duanmufei quietly bit Hanxing's ear, saying that the melon seeds in Zhuangyuanlou were much stronger than their tea.

Han Xing nodded thoughtfully, and quietly discussed with Duanmu Fei that he would buy some melon seeds and bring them back to the palace later.

"You can really talk well," Li Tingyou looked at the scholars around him who were talking eloquently, and said with a smile, "Should they all be tied to the front line and let them 'convince' those enemy soldiers?" ”

Duanmu Heng just drank tea silently, without saying a word, remembering his grandfather's advice, he only listened to it today.

Duanmu Fei swallowed another melon seed, leaned his head towards Li Tingyou, and muttered to him in a low voice: "Cousin You, this is a good idea, these scholars have been staying in the comfortable capital, so they will have nothing to do......"

The corners of Li Tingyou's mouth curled slightly, and he felt that the little fox cousin really had a tacit understanding with him this time.

He picked up the teacup and made a toast to Duanmufei, replacing the wine with tea.

Duanmu Fei also proudly picked up the teacup and saluted back, thinking that it was really fun for a woman to dress up as a man or something.

The young scholars in the teahouse were red-faced, but Han Xing and Duanmufei began to get bored, and the more these people talked, the more boring they became, repeatedly revolving around the words "barbarian" and "friendly", and did not really put forward any opinions that were beneficial to the country and the people.

Han Xing yawned boredly, leaned into Duanmu Fei's ear and whispered in a voice that only their cousins could hear: "The mother concubine also told the palace last time that she would choose a colt for the palace from the new branch of the new branch in the spring of next year...... Hongu see, forget it. ”

Duanmu nodded approvingly.

Han Xing wrinkled his nose, looked around at the tea guests who fell, and said a little childishly: "If those new science and technology scholars are like these people, this palace still doesn't want to be a horse...... Hey? ”

Han Xing's gaze suddenly fixed on a certain figure in the lobby below, and his little face was crooked.

Something seemed wrong with this man.

Han Xing's eyes lit up, and then he quietly pulled Duanmu Fei's sleeve, and whispered with a smile: "Cousin Scarlet, you see that person is also a woman dressed as a man......"

Duanmu Fei glanced casually in the direction pointed by Han Xing, and saw a young man wearing a blue and blue plum orchid bamboo straight jacket, the young man was fair-skinned, with beautiful eyebrows, sitting alone at a table in the corner.

Duanmufei's gaze slid down from the other party's white neck and landed on the other party's hands holding the tea cup, and the slender tail finger was slightly cocked.

This young man is really a girl dressed as a man, and ......

Duanmufei's gaze slowly moved up again, this time staying on the other party's goose egg face, and smiling with interest.

Coincidentally, this girl's family knows her own.

Isn't this the third girl of the Tao family?!

Duanmufei didn't pay much attention to the third girl Tao, and quickly withdrew her gaze and continued to eat melon seeds.

As for Han Xing, he has already brought the topic from a woman dressed as a man to "The Female Horse", and said with emotion that if Duanmu Scarlet disguised herself as a man to take the Jinshi exam, she would definitely be able to be admitted to Yunyun, Duanmu Heng responded with the same feeling, so scared that Duanmu Sfei was almost choked by melon seeds.

Han Xing just talked casually, and after a while, his mind returned to the question of "donkey", sighed faintly, and muttered in a low voice: "Hey, why is it so troublesome to pick a colt!" ”

Saying that, she looked at Duanmu Fei, nu pouted, and said enviously: "Cousin Scarlet, you have already made a marriage, and you don't have to pick it again in the future, it really saves a lot of trouble." ”

That's right. Duanmu Fei sympathetically poured a cup of tea for Han Xing to appease, thinking about his own life is really good. Not only do you no longer have to worry about being blocked, but you also pay off all your previous debts, and you can have one less big trouble in the future, so it's good to be engaged.

Looking at the two cousins, Duanmu Heng and Li Tingyou couldn't help but feel a feeling that they couldn't put it into words. These two girls, this way of thinking is really too different from ordinary people......

At this moment, an indignant male voice suddenly sounded in the lobby below: "All kinds of problems in the court are not all because of the overstepping of the authority of the celebrant and the dictatorship of the eunuchs!" ”

After the words fell, there was no sound in the entire champion building, and the hall was silent, and the needles could be heard.

The students in this teahouse looked at each other and were dumbfounded, most of the people's thoughts at this moment were that the person who said this was crazy!

Not long ago, the prisoners in Guozi Prison who were taken away by Dongchang have not been released yet.

They don't want to be stupid enough to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Everyone's faces are different, and some clever students have secretly exchanged glances, planning to slip away quickly, if they are accidentally implicated and locked up in the East Factory, it will be miserable.

They came here to ask Hong Daru for advice, to meet friends with literature, but they didn't come to follow a madman to make stupid mistakes!

Duanmu Fei couldn't care about eating melon seeds, his eyes looked down brightly, and he said in his heart: Well, something interesting is coming.

Silence spread, and no one spoke for a while.

The third girl Tao San, who was dressed in a green and blue straight shirt, squeezed her fists and said to herself, all this is for her brother.

"That's right!" She resolutely stood up and complained loudly: "Dongchang is rampant and domineering, my brother is the prisoner of Guozijian, just said a word of righteousness, he was arrested in Dongchang, and he has not been released yet, and his life and death are uncertain......"

Although Tao San girl was wearing men's clothes, her voice was the girl's house as soon as she heard it, and when she was excited, her voice trembled slightly, and a faint mist appeared in her eyes, naturally revealing a bit of femininity.

For a while, everyone's eyes looked at Miss Tao San.

Dongchang acts honestly! Many people looked at Tao San's eyes with a little sympathy and indignation, but those clever people had already silently begun to slip out.

In just a few breaths, the originally full teahouse had less than 20% of the guests, and there were a few more copper plates on their tables as tea materials.

Unexpectedly, they just came out of the teahouse, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw four or five Dongchang fans walking out of the alley next to the teahouse and surrounding them.

These students chuckled in their hearts, and there was a vague sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, one of the Dongchang fanzi touched the mustache among the people and said with a smile at them: "Why did the sons come out so quickly?" Isn't it good to sit for a while while while inside is so lively? ”

These students had no room for opposition at all, so they were "invited" back by those Dongchang fans.

Their faces were all pale, and their hearts were so remorseful that their intestines were blue, and they really wanted to strangle themselves, why did they come here when they were idle and had nothing to do!

Also, everyone knew that they couldn't mention Dongchang and Cen Yin, and they didn't know which stunned young man wanted to hurt them, so they actually mentioned this stubble inexplicably...... Hey, I don't know if it's too late to beg for mercy for a while.

These students were a little crying without tears, and slowly stepped into the champion building again, looking at Tao San girl in the corner with a complicated expression.

In the teahouse, everyone was silent, and only the voice of Tao Sanjie echoed in the air, and it became higher and higher:

"There is a way, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold! All of you here are readers, and you understand this truth. ”

"My brother is a scholar like everyone here, sharing honor and disgrace, and now Dongchang can brazenly break into the Guozijian to take down my brother, and it will only be more unscrupulous in the future, making the court a miasma...... The monarch and the minister are misplaced, and the dynasty is corrupted! ”

"Although I am a weak woman, I also know the righteousness and the world, I am willing to die, listen to the heavens, hope that the saint will punish the traitors, reward the loyalty, and uphold the court."

Tao San's eyes were bloodshot, righteous and awe-inspiring, as she spoke, she suddenly slammed into the pillar on the side, her little face was full of determination.

All this has developed so fast that the tea customers in the teahouse were stunned and couldn't react at all, even if someone stood up at this moment, they couldn't stop Miss Tao San at all.

There was a terrifying silence around them, as if time had stopped.

At this moment, a gray figure appeared beside Tao San Girl like a ghost, and he kicked her calf shin with a sharp kick, she snorted, her feet went limp, and she staggered to the ground.

This scene made everyone in the teahouse stunned.

The third girl Tao sat on the ground, looking at the gray-clothed man standing just one step away from her in surprise, her face pale.

The other party looked at her condescendingly, releasing a cold and sharp aura all over his body, which made Miss Tao San chuckle in her heart, and she had an ominous premonition.

"You just said that the monarch and the minister are out of place?" A yin and yang, sharp and cold male voice sounded from behind the man in gray, and the person who spoke was none other than Cao Qianhu in disguise.

So, the eyes of the tea guests followed the sound to Cao Qianhu again, secretly guessing the identity of this person, and their hearts were like drums.

The few students who had just been driven back froze in place, vaguely guessing that the man in Tsing Yi in front of him who was described as withered should be from Dongchang, and his face was even more ugly.

The air was heavy, overwhelming everyone.

The third girl Tao looked at Cao Qianhu with a pale face, and she was at a loss, she was already difficult to ride a tiger.

On the twelfth day of the Lunar New Year, she knelt down on the street and begged Duanmu Fei to help her brother, but she returned in vain, and then met Geng Anhao, the son of the Weiguo Mansion.

Geng Anhao said that he could help her, it depended on whether she dared or not. What did she dare not do, it was not their brother and sister who were at fault.

Geng Anhui asked her to come to the Zhuangyuan Building today, and provoked the dissatisfaction of those Shilin students with words against the celebrant and the East Factory, and then stirred up the atmosphere, made a gesture and hit the pillar, and then "fainted" to pass. These scholars are the most bookish, as long as this is the case, it will definitely arouse their blood, prompt them to jointly write a book, and make this matter bigger, only in this way will the emperor attack Cen Yin to calm the anger of the world, and her brother can naturally be rescued, and even gain a certain prestige in Shilin with this.

She didn't say yes right away, but she had no choice but to come, determined to make a desperate bet to succeed.

Now that she has come to this point, she has no way back.

Tao San's heartbeat accelerated, looked at Cao Qianhu's cloudy and sharp eyes, and said loudly: "The difference between respect and inferiority, the monarch and the minister are important, the eunuchs take power, and the party is united, if it goes on like this, it will only make the monarch and the minister misplaced, the dynasty will be corrupted, and I am afraid that ......the world will be in danger."

"Smack!"

Before she finished speaking, she saw Cao Qianhu slap his palm on the table, which shook the tea bowl on the table and jumped, and the hall was silent, as if even everyone's breathing had stopped.

"Presumptuous, what kind of monarch and minister are misplaced, you are so bold, dare to openly accuse the emperor of being immoral and guilty, you are really bold and disrespectful!" Cao Qianhu raised his voice and scolded sharply, and his cold voice resounded throughout the teahouse.

The atmosphere is tense.

Miss Tao San was stunned, when did she accuse the emperor, she just reminded the emperor that the eunuch dictatorship was not conducive to the country, and this person clearly referred to the deer as a horse.

"I ......"

She wanted to argue, but was interrupted impatiently by Cao Qianhu just as she spoke.

"Who?!" Cao Qianhu raised his hand and pointed at her and asked, "How can you know about the court!" Say! Who the hell instructed you to make trouble here?! ”

The teahouse was quieter, and most of the students were still stupid, but a few students showed a little thoughtfulness, and this may not be unreasonable, a weak woman knows what political affairs.

"......" Tao San girl panicked. Although Geng Anhao had also told her about the possible situations and taught her all kinds of rhetoric beforehand, they didn't expect things to develop in this direction.

She instinctively looked in a certain direction, her pupils shrunk, and her thoughts were confused.

"No one instructed me! Everyone knows all these things! She stubbornly said, "You Dongchang can seal the mouth of one person, and you can't block the mouth of the world!" ”

"You crazy woman still dare to say on behalf of the world that the emperor is not virtuous! It's just lawless! Cao Qianhu looked righteous and righteous, and ordered in a sharp voice, "Don't give our family a slap yet!" ”

"Smack!"

The gray-clothed man slapped the third girl Tao in the face, and the crisp slap sound was extremely loud in this huge teahouse, like a deafening thunder.

A red five-finger print clearly appeared on the fair face of the third girl Tao, and her cheeks were swollen into steamed buns at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her eyes were hazy with tears.

However, Cao Qianhu didn't have the slightest pity for the jade, and said coldly: "Such boldness, vain discussion of the emperor, and gossip to confuse the public, hmph, there must be accomplices behind this woman." Bring our family back to Dongchang and interrogate them well! ”

As soon as the words fell, Dongchang Fanzi, who had been guarding outside for a long time, rushed in, two of them hugged their fists to receive the order, and then came to Tao San Girl, and without saying much to her, one of them clamped one of her arms and rudely dragged her out.

"Let go of me! Let me go! ”

Miss Tao screamed hoarsely, but in vain, her voice faded away, and then the air in the teahouse became tighter and quieter.

The little second brother in the teahouse was almost fighting with his legs, sweating like rain.

Probably only Duanmu Fei, Han Xing and Li Tingyou on the second floor were still slowly munching on melon seeds, looking comfortable, in stark contrast to the others around them.

Cao Qianhu slowly looked around at everyone, and when his eyes were on the upper end of the wooden scarf, he smiled flatteringly, and the "yin" smile scared several people so much that they almost didn't fall off the stool.

"Today, everyone present saw it with their own eyes, but it's not who our Dongchang has wronged!" Cao Qianhu casually pointed to a middle-aged scholar at a table next to him, and asked with a smile, "Did you say?!" ”

The middle-aged scholar's lips trembled slightly, and he reluctantly replied, "Yes, of course." ”

Cao Qianhu's right hand continued to move to the left, and pointed to a young student in his twenties, "What do you say?" ”

The young student's body trembled, and even the chair sitting under him made a gurgling sound against the ground.

"That's what my lord said." He hurriedly replied, for fear that he would be too late.

Cao Qianhu smiled with satisfaction, and instructed the Dongchang fan next to him: "Spread the paper and grind the ink, write down today's events to our family, and let all the people here sign and draw them one by one!" ”

"Yes, Cao Qianhu."

Dongchang Fanzi hurriedly responded, of course there was pen and ink in the teahouse, the little second brother prepared the pen and ink paper as quickly as possible, and followed one of the goatee Dongchang Fanzi to write and write, and the faint fragrance of ink lingered in the air.

At this moment, everyone was sitting on pins and needles, feeling that time was passing very slowly, and many people raised their hands from time to time to wipe the beads of sweat on their foreheads......
