Early the morning of the second day after Zuo Liang and Liao Yong paid homage to He Xuan, the carriage sent by the Liao family to pick up He Xuan appeared in front of the courtyard gate on time.

Looking at this four-wheeled high-canopy two-horse carriage, He Xuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, thinking to herself: These two big men, are they too forgetful. I already said yesterday that the things in this yard are not taken away, why did you send such a big car! Could it be that they thought they would have a lot of belongings?

In fact, He Xuan had very few things to take away: Yu Xiao, Emei thorns, paperwork for the exam, and the box of objects and silver tickets that his father left for him. Other than that, it's some carry-on clothes. Two small burdens, placed in a large rattan box, these are all He Xuan wants to take away.

The subordinates sent by the Liao family to help looked at He Xuan with strange eyes, and they didn't understand why their own young master and the young master of the Zuo family cared so much about such a person, but since they were ordered to wait carefully and obey everything, they naturally didn't dare to slack off. Everything, without letting He Xuan do anything, the subordinate took the initiative to take the basket box, and then left the yard first.

The next person put the basket box on the car, and He Xuan led the horse she called "Xia Lan" to the gate of the courtyard. Standing at the front of the crowd was naturally Qiu Shi and his son.

"Xiaoxuan. Take care of yourself when you go. Although the young master of the Liao family is warmly invited, if you are not used to living, come back, I will keep this courtyard for you. As soon as he saw He Xuan come out, Qiu Shi's father walked up and said to He Xuan.

He Xuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Bao." Thanks to your care over the years, the parting juniors should have come to thank you, but the matter was in a hurry, and the etiquette was not thoughtful, and I hope you will bear with me. ”

At this time, other villagers also came up, and you said goodbye to He Xuan word by word, telling you to take care of yourself.

Over the years, He Xuan and her father-in-law have always thought that the villagers in the village are doing free treatments, not only do they not need to pay for the diagnosis, but they also don't take any medicine. The villagers really didn't care, and occasionally sent some firewood, fruit rice, etc., but they were also politely declined by the father and son. Later, the father and son would find these things at their doorstep from time to time.

Looking at the reluctant eyes of the villagers who were standing in the warm and cold wind, He Xuan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. In fact, he never thought that this was a righteous act, and those herbs and other things were just picked up by himself and his father-in-law when they went up the mountain to practice. But in the eyes of these simple and kind people, they are simply like gods who save them from the sea of suffering.

He Xuan said goodbye to everyone present as much as possible, then turned over on his horse, and hugged his fists at everyone on the horse, and then set off to Kyoto with the Liao family's carriage.

Along the way, He Xuan's mind kept thinking about the appearance of the villagers just now, and the words that his father-in-law seemed to understand when he was dying: live his own life well.

"What does it mean to live your own life? Is it supposed to be like this? It seems that after being a little rich family with no worries about food and clothing, he has never had any painful and toothless unforgettable memories? Then, find a place to restore yourself as a daughter, and find someone to marry you off? But I don't think that's good. Since you want to live a good life on your own, it is naturally good to live according to your own ideas...... But what did the father-in-law mean at that time? ”

Thinking about it, He Xuan had already arrived at the city gate of Kyoto.

He Xuan got off the horse, still silent, just leading the horse and looking at the crowd around him.

The time is about to pass, and now the street is very lively, and the most prosperous street in Kyoto is the only way to the Liao family, so on this way, He Xuan can only walk.

Walking forward, He Xuan suddenly saw a very magnificent restaurant, and when she looked up, she saw three big characters "Shengyi Building". There were a lot of people inside, and it seemed that they were all candidates who had entered Beijing to take the exam.

He Xuan became interested for a while, and said to the subordinates sent by the Liao family: "Uncle Trouble help me send the things and horses to the mansion first, and I want to take a look at this restaurant." ”

The subordinate looked at the restaurant, nodded with a smile, and then said to He Xuan: "After a while, the prince only walked along this street until the end, and then turned east, and when he saw the "Xiantingju", he arrived. ”

He Xuan nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

He Xuan looked at herself, a pair of thorns were placed in the left and right sleeves, and a jade Xiao was held in her hand. Apparently, there is nothing wrong with that. She touched it in her arms again, and it was okay, with the silver belt in her arms. Then, I walked straight into the "Champion Building".

As soon as Xiao Er saw a guest arriving, he walked over excitedly, and asked with a smile on his face: "This son, when I see your graceful bearing, you are the one who went to Beijing to take the exam." Are you tipping or staying in a hotel? If it is sharp, there is a clean seat on the second floor; If you are staying in a hotel, we also have a few clean upper rooms here. You're catching up today, and if it's half an hour late, I'm afraid there will be no land. In the past ten years, the champions have lived in our store. You've come to the right place! ”

Hearing his words, He Xuan just smiled, and then said, "Hit the nail on the head, find me a quiet place." ”

"Great!" The guy said with a smile, then turned and rushed upstairs, shouting, "Hit the sharp, the second floor is waiting-"

Then, he led He Xuan upstairs in front.

When he got upstairs, it was much quieter than downstairs, and the guy led He Xuan to a place near the building, and then asked with a smile: "Childe, do you think it will be done here?" ”

He Xuan nodded, put Xiao on the table first, and then sat down by himself.

"Childe, what are you going to eat?" The guy asked.

He Xuan thought for a while and said, "When you first come here, let's ask the store to help you consider a few." Just serve two or three of the light and delicate dishes. Another pot of West Lake Longjing. ”

"Howler. Guest, you wait. ”

As he spoke, the man went downstairs.

He Xuan looked around.

There are only seven or eight tables on the second floor, and only five or six people sit around two or three tables. At this time, these people were shaking their heads and talking about something, He Xuan looked at them, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but go up, laughing at the sourness of these people.

She looked out the window again, and thought it was better to see the peddlers and pawns outside than the scholars soaked in the vinegar vat.

At this time, He Xuan was seeing a young man dressed in soap who had just dismounted, and after seeing that he was not dressed in an ordinary family, He Xuan was looking at this person's space, and the young man also looked up and saw He Xuan.

Seeing that the visitor had noticed him, He Xuan bowed his head slightly, and apologized for his abruptness. The boy just smiled, and didn't seem to care.

At this time, the guy put He Xuan's food up, He Xuan looked at the dishes that the guy served for himself: the first one was Longjing shrimp, followed by the soup soaked crab roe xiaolongbao on the table, and finally the pot of Longjing was also put on the table.

After seeing these foods, He Xuan smiled and asked, "Man, why are all the dishes from the south?" ”

"Childe said that he likes light dishes, and the master of the small shop is the best at making southern dishes, and the small ones look light. If Childe doesn't like ......"

"Oh, no. Very good. It's hard work. ”

Seeing that He Xuan was satisfied, the guy turned around and left with a smile.

He Xuan looked at these two kinds of food, and thought of her father-in-law again. That Tao Yizhi is a southerner, and these two dishes are also his favorites, thinking of this, He Xuan's heart can't help but feel sour.

Suddenly, He Xuan heard footsteps, and someone came upstairs again. When He Xuan looked up, it was the boy who was downstairs just now. He Xuan hurriedly withdrew his gaze, he was already a little abrupt just now, if he still stared at the other party at this time, it would inevitably make the other party feel that he was out of order.

What He Xuan didn't expect was that the boy actually walked straight to his table. She raised her head in some surprise and looked at the visitor, her eyes full of doubt.

I saw someone clasping his fists and saying, "In Xiannan Xianzhen, this is polite." ”

He Xuan stood up, returned the salute to the son who called himself Han Xian, and then asked with a smile: "Under He Xuan, I don't know what advice Nan Gongzi has." ”

"I can't talk about advice. It's just that when I first met my virtuous brother, I seemed to know each other, so I took the liberty to come to bother. ”

"What did Nan Gongzi say, he just entered Beijing and didn't have any friends, since Brother Han doesn't dislike it, you might as well sit down."

This Nan Gongzi is also not polite, after He Xuan's request, he really sat down, and when he sat down, He Xuan noticed that there were four people standing behind him, and it seemed that they knew that they should be guards or something.

He Xuan smiled lightly, thinking in her heart: It seems that this Nan Gongzi is not just a son. Although she thought so, she didn't say anything.

But Nan Gongzi said to the entourage behind: "You can also find a table to eat." ”

Hearing this, the four of them found a seat at the table next to them.

"Brother He Xian is resting in this Shengyi Building, but is it a candidate who is participating in the big competition?" Nan Gongzi asked with a smile, revealing two shallow dimples.

"Yes."

After listening to He Xuan's words, this Nan Gongzi smiled faintly and said, "But the virtuous brother is very different from others. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? He Xuan raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Brother Xian doesn't have that disgusting sour vinegar at all." Nan Gongzi said without hesitation, although this sentence was not too high, but it also attracted the attention of others.

He Xuan smiled, thinking in his heart that this Nan Gongzi was straightforward, completely ignoring the strange eyes of others.
