It's late at night, but the city of Kyoto seems to have just come alive, and the Qinglou restaurant is full of lights, and the lights are extremely prosperous. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The restaurant by the canal river sang and danced, and bursts of warblers and laughter came.

On the other side of the river, there is a lively restaurant, the restaurant is high and elegant, a group of young people are sitting at the table, in front of them are delicate and luxurious wine utensils and chopsticks, they are all sitting next to a young girl with a good figure, pushing the cup and changing the lamp is very lively.

This group of young people is the group of noble sons who are making trouble with Jiang He in the examination room, they are laughing and drinking wine uncontrollably, and the women around them are close to them, and the exquisitely decorated private room is full of an atmosphere of luxury and vulgarity.

And there are two people in this group who are completely different from them, like another landscape standing alone on one side.

One is the young Li Qiushuang, his delicate and orderly hair is not scattered, and there is not a trace of wrinkles in a white shirt. He sat quietly at the table, with a white jade wine glass in front of him, but it seemed that he had not moved.

Not only that, but there wasn't even a girl beside him, and those beautiful girls with fat powder were all hiding far away, as if they were very afraid of Li Qiushuang.

Next to Li Qiushuang, there was an older middle-aged man, who was sitting at the table like him, but there was a huge earthen bowl in front of him, which was filled with wine.

His expression was different from these noble sons, but he was not as cold as Li Qiushuang. He just drank quietly with a bowl of wine, with a look of satisfaction but not indulgence on his face.

After drinking the bowl of wine in front of him, he raised his head and looked at Li Qiushuang who was sitting beside him.

He said softly, "Gongzi Li, don't you drink?"

Li Qiushuang looked at him expressionlessly and shook her head slightly.

The middle-aged man smiled and continued indifferently: "There are not many young people like you now. ”

Li Qiushuang turned her head to look at the dishes in front of her, exquisite and annoying, just like the group of yelling young people in front of her, just showing a good-looking skin, in fact, there is no difference between it and ordinary dishes, after all, it is just meat and vegetables that have been slaughtered.

The middle-aged man saw that Li Qiushuang didn't care about himself, but he wasn't annoyed, but said lightly: "I heard that you fought with someone today." ”

Li Qiushuang snorted coldly, but still didn't turn her head.

"My lord instructed me not to be too public, as this would be detrimental to the plan. ”

Li Qiushuang finally turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man with cold eyes, and the middle-aged man raised his head to look at him and grinned. Li Qiushuang's eyes became more and more gloomy, and she said coldly: "Go back and tell him that I have my own measure." ”

The middle-aged man picked up the earthen bowl and replied, "Your Excellency knows that you are measured, but there are some things that you can't make a mistake. ”

Li Qiushuang looked at him, the annoyance in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed, he gently held the jade cup in front of the table and shook the wine inside.

But not a drop was spilled.

He said coldly, "So that's why you've been following me?"

The middle-aged man stopped talking, still expressionless, unable to see whether there was mockery or praise in his eyes.

Li Qiushuang wanted to smash the cup in his hand into the middle-aged man's face, but he didn't, he knew that he didn't have such courage. He suddenly remembered that the man named Li Qiubai came, and dared to ask the big eunuch surnamed Gao to take off his boots, which was really a disgusting heroism.

He looked at the men and women in the room, and the silk behind them, raised his glass, and drank the wine from it.

...

...

From Suzaku Street to the Imperial Palace, the deepest and most expansive palace in the entire southern country.

Standing on the upper floor of Daming Palace, you can overlook the entire Kyoto Castle, or the southern country.

And the only one who can stand here is the current emperor, Li Yefu.

Li Yefu is not a real wild man, he has orthodox royal blood in his body, he stands in front of the building, looking at the distance by the railing. The wind was a little strong on the tall building, and a little boy in a brocade shirt stood beside him.

"Tang'er, have you seen the city wall in the distance? Li Yefu raised his hand and pointed to the distant, pitch-black and invisible, the majestic city wall hidden in the night, standing on the edge of this ancient capital, quietly accepting the wind and rain.

The little boy shook his head, the cold wind from above made him feel a little cold.

"Father, it's too dark for my sons to see. ”

Li Yefu smiled slightly, touched the top of the boy's head dotingly, and said softly: "When you stand here one day, you will see it." ”

The boy looked up at him puzzled, Li Yefu was still smiling, but he didn't intend to answer for him.

"Tang'er, do you want to be the emperor?"

The boy shook his head firmly.

Li Yefu looked at him curiously and asked, "Why." ”

The boy raised his hand, touched the cold, hard wooden railing in front of him, and replied softly, "I'm so tired, and it's boring to stay here all the time." ”

Li Yefu smiled, raised his hand to hug him, and said gently: "Okay, let you go out to see and see in the future." ”

The boy's eyes widened and he asked happily, "Really?"

"Of course. But you won't be allowed to go out until you find a teacher. ”

The boy jumped happily in Li Yefu's arms, and then said, "Father, where is my teacher?"

Li Yefu looked at the little boy, then pointed ahead and said, "It's in this Kyoto city." ”

The boy clapped his hands happily when he heard this, then raised his little hand and said to Li Yefu, "Father, pull the hook." ”

Li Yefu smiled heartily, raised his big hand and put the small handprint together, and the wind in the high-rise building rose again.

...

...

The next morning, the gates of the Protectorate were closed, but the courtyard was already full of people.

In addition to the candidates waiting for the release of the list, there are also a large number of onlookers. The noisy and noisy sounds make this usually deserted College Street lively.

Vendors pushing wooden carts also took advantage of this opportunity to come to the street to sell melons and fruits.

The private schools in Kyoto also set up small stalls at the end of the street, and they all had a horizontal bar in their small table, but there was no writing on it.

They were waiting for news from the students, and whether or not they made the list decided whether they wanted to write fresh big letters on the banner.

They were now in front of their stalls, looking nervously at the gate of the courtyard.

The students were naturally more nervous than their teachers, and they either stopped to watch or eat the greasy buns, just waiting for the vermilion door to open.

Jiang He didn't sleep all night last night, and after Hu Xiaoliu taught him swordsmanship, he went back to the house to sleep, but Jiang He practiced swords in the courtyard all night.

In fact, it is not a night, whenever Jiang He is tired of practicing, he will go to the front room to make tea and meditate, drink a few bowls of hot tea, and then continue to practice swords.

Maybe it was the hot tea last night that played a role, but when Hu Xiaoliu looked at the rivers in the courtyard in a daze this morning, he didn't feel sleepy.

Hu Xiaoliu opened the door of the shop, and the guy had been waiting in front of the door for a long time with breakfast porridge and soup dumplings.

Hu Xiaoliu yawned, praised these young guys with appreciation, and then leaned against the door and commanded them: "Well, please go on another trip and buy more copies back." ”

A few guys were stunned and didn't know what to do. was stunned for a long time, and then looked at Hu Xiaoliu with an obscene expression.

"Sixth master... Are you taking the girl back to the courtyard?"

"Get out!" Hu Xiaoliu kicked the guy who spoke.

"The seventh master is a guest in the courtyard, so don't go soon. ”

When a few guys heard this, they hurriedly ran to buy food, and the guy who pretended to be seriously injured also got up and smiled at Hu Xiaoliu and followed.

"By the way, buy a bowl of clear fire soup. Hu Xiaoliu shouted at their backs.

...

Jiang He was a little embarrassed to eat the soup dumplings in front of him, because a few young men were staring at the legendary "Seventh Master" in surprise.

Jiang He picked up the vegetable porridge and blew it gently, and finally couldn't stand the monster-like gaze, he turned his head and said coldly to the little guys: "I have flowers on my face, or do I have money?"

A few guys were startled and hurriedly ran out.

Hu Xiaoliu smiled when he saw this and said, "Master Jiang, you scared them. ”

Jiang He gulped the hot porridge in the bowl and ignored Hu Xiaoliu.

He drank the porridge, put down the bowl with satisfaction, and then asked, "Have you eaten well?"

Hu Xiaoliu was chewing on the vegetable bun and replied inarticulately, "What am I going to do?"

"Look at me taking the first place. ”

"Ahem。。 Ahem。。 Hu Xiaoliu was choked by Jiang He's words, coughed violently, and his face turned red. He hurriedly picked up the porridge and moistened it, and it took a while to recover.

"Jiang Ye, just because of your confidence, I'll accompany you on a trip!"

Although from the bottom of his heart, Hu Xiaoliu still didn't want to go, because he didn't want to see those acquaintances.

So Jiang He and Hu Xiaoliu packed up their things and walked slowly to the Protectorate.

....

By the time Jiang He and the two came to College Street, the street was already crowded with onlookers. Many people habitually climbed the wall again, and the tea shops and wineries on both sides of the street also took this opportunity to set up a viewing seat, and they only needed 50 yuan to buy a pot of tea to go to the private room on the third floor to sit, and also gave dried fruit snacks.

Hu Xiaoliu looked at the crowd of black pressure and pouted, and then said to Jiang He: "Master Jiang, let's go upstairs and sit!"

Jiang He looked at the price tag, then shook his head and said, "No need, it's too wasteful." ”

"Eh, let's go, let's go, so many people are too lazy to squeeze. ”

As he spoke, Hu Xiaoliu pulled Jiang He and walked towards the restaurant next to him.

"That's it, Jiang Ye, if you really take the first exam, I'll invite you, okay, hurry up, there's no place!"

Jiang He shook his head and had to follow Hu Xiaoliu to the store.

There are already a lot of customers sitting in the store at the moment, but there is no good place on this floor to see the list, so it is probably some teachers who come here to wait for the students or some small talkers.

The man greeted him and asked happily, "Sixth Master, why did you think of coming to the shop to sit in the shop today?"

Hu Xiaoliu looked at this guy, smiled slightly, and said, "Look at the list." ”

Hearing this, the guy hurriedly replied: "Today, we have set up a few good places in our store to watch the list, and the windows are large and the location is good to ensure that the two adults can sit comfortably." Please follow me. ”

As he spoke, he led the two of them to the second floor.

Hu Xiaoliu followed the guy in front and went upstairs first. Jiang He looked around and felt that the environment of this restaurant was still good, at least it was clean, and then he followed upstairs.

But as soon as he walked to the entrance of the hall on the second floor, Hu Xiaoliu in front suddenly stopped, as if he was looking at something curiously.

Jiang He looked at his back puzzled, and was about to open his mouth to urge him.

Hu Xiaoliu suddenly said to the other end of his eyes in a weird way: "Yo, a few sons also come to sit in such a cheap shop, aren't you afraid of losing your identity?"

Jiang He was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a familiar voice coming.

"Hu Xiaoliu, you opened this store, where do I want to go to take care of your!"

Hu Xiaoliu walked up, and Jiang He also followed to the second floor, and it was Jiang He who was very familiar with the person he was familiar with, the rich boy who followed Li Qiushuang.

And sitting at a table in front of the window was Li Qiushuang and his party...
