Tian Keyuan and Wang Mingli were waiting for Tian Yiyuan to come out in the private room of the Zhuangyuan Building, when it was almost Youzheng, and the breath of the sun was dying in the western sky, which was in stark contrast to the bustle of the street. Tian Keyuan took the jade piece in his hand, and the last time he saw the prince brother in Beijing playing with the jade piece in his hand, he also got this piece of mutton fat jade leaf in his hand, and he always felt that the gap between himself and the people here could be a little closer. He looked at the endless stream of pedestrians on the street, his eyes were full of envy, the prosperity of the capital is far from being comparable to the small city of Meixian, there is always a **** who will also be famous here!

"I don't know if the eldest brother will come over by himself or bring his friends with him later, I really don't want to meet that Lei Chunyuan who loves to hang his bookbag again, boring, boring!" Tian Keyuan frowned and flipped the jade leaf in his hand, he was not good at reading, and what he didn't like the most was Lei Chunyuan, who must quote scriptures when he speaks, and his actions are bound to follow the rules, and he is often on the line.

Wang Mingli's gaze was not far from the setting sun, "Although Lei Chunyuan spoke a little long-winded, the eldest brother said that he did a good job, and the more the prince of the country, the more the wine was favored, it would not hurt for us to have more contact with him." ”

"Brother-in-law, do you really plan to rely on the imperial examination to get ahead?" Tian Keyuan didn't understand, how hard it is to study, and there is more than this road in the world, why bother to embarrass himself, and he doesn't think Wang Mingli has this ability.

Wang Mingli retracted his gaze and said with a slight smile, "You have to try, otherwise how can you know if it will succeed or not." ”

Seeing that Tian Keyuan's face was not good, he quickly rubbed the jade leaf in his hand, Wang Mingli remembered that he was fined for six years and was not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for opening an underground bank, and felt that this topic was not suitable to be talked about anymore, "The hour is almost up, and I will go to the door to greet the eldest brother." ”

Wang Mingli arrived in front of the building for a moment, and saw the tall Tian Yiyuan and three classmates who were also wearing Tang scarves and cyan scholar shirts walking here, namely Cai Yun, the third son of the military department's squire, Lei Chunyuan, who hung the book bag, and Tian Shilu, the brother of Tian Yiyuan, Wang Mingli walked two steps quickly to meet them and lead them into the building.

Cai Yun smiled, "When did you arrive?" ”

Wang Mingli bowed and replied, "I just arrived, and last time I heard Brother Cai say that the mutton soup here is good, I want to come over today to taste it with your brothers." ”

Tian Yiyuan laughed, "Jiezhong came for the mutton soup, and he just said that he wanted to eat three bowls." ”

Jie Zhong is Cai Yun's expression. Cai Yun complained, "The clear soup in the Guozi Prison has been eaten for a few days, don't tell me that you are not greedy, let's go, let's go in quickly, the cold wind is blowing here." ”

At this time, two people walked out of the champion building, one of them had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, wore an ivory crown, wore a crescent white shirt, and wrapped a jade belt around his waist, and was chic and noble. Cai Yun was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice, "When did he come back?" ”

Tian Yiyuan asked in a low voice, "Jiezhong, who is this?" ”

"Lei Jin Lei Tianming." Needless to say, the name alone made a few people thunderous. Tian Yiyuan and the others sighed secretly, they were really gentlemen.

Lei Chunyuan took a step forward and rushed at the "third brother." ”

Lei Jin, that is, Lei Tianze, the teacher of Beigou Village, stopped, nodded and smiled, "En, come to dinner with your classmates?" ”

Lei Chunyuan said with a glance, "Tomorrow will be closed, so I will have a small gathering here with my friends." ”

Cai Yun came over with a smile, "When did Third Brother Lei return to Beijing, why didn't the younger brother get any news?" ”

"It's only been three or five days," Lei Tianze saw the three people around Lei Chunyuan looking at him with burning eyes, so he asked, "Who are these people?" ”

"Xiao Shengtian Yiyuan (Tian Shilu, Wang Mingli) has seen Lei Gongzi." The trio saluted and replied respectfully. Although Lei Tianze has no official position, he is the third son of the founding county prince and the childhood companion of the current saint, coupled with his thunderous reputation, people dare not underestimate.

Wang Mingli's name, Lei Tianze's eyes flashed, and he smiled politely, "They are all your classmates?" ”

Lei Chunyuan replied seriously, "The two of them are classmates of the foolish brother, and Wang Mingli is the sister-in-law of Yi Yuan, who came to Beijing to deliver winter clothes. ”

"Well," Lei Tianze's eyes showed warmth, "It's not easy to enter the country to study, you have to study hard, don't live up to your family's expectations." ”

Tian Yiyuan and Tian Shilu saluted and said yes, and Wang Mingli nodded again and again and smiled very sincerely, making people feel that Lei Tianze's words just spoke in his heart.

"It's rare to take a break in the middle of the year, so I won't bother you and wait for a small gathering as a brother. Chunyuan, come to the study tomorrow, I'll bring back a few books, you can take them and take them. Lei Tianze had something to do in his body and stayed longer, and instructed Lei Chunyuan when he parted.

Hearing that there was a book, Lei Chunyuan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to go back with Lei Tianze now, Lei Tianze smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying goodbye to everyone.

After going out, he turned around and ordered, "Qingyan, you go and find out what the origin of that person named Wang Mingli is, why he entered Beijing, and find out as soon as possible." ”

Qing Yan wrote it down, silently reached out and handed the food box to Lei Tianze, turned around and walked into the building again. Lei Tianze reluctantly took it and held it in his hand, he came here to buy sheep soup to go back to please his grandmother. Because he hadn't returned for another year, my grandmother was now very angry.

He remembered that the name Wang Mingli had heard Lan Yi say, that it was Wen Xuan's cousin who tried to take Wen Xuan away from Lan Yi, he was the son-in-law of Tian Daozhi, the magistrate of Meixian County, and he thought it was this person. At this time, it was nearly thirty-nine, and although it was passable, it was a little late.

Lei Tianze walked into the crowd, stayed in the countryside for a long time, and returned to the bustling streets, feeling the admiring eyes cast by him from time to time, he really missed the days of teaching in Beigou Village. He didn't know if there was snow there, but he promised the two children to take them to catch sparrows and build snowmen when the snow fell, and he lost to his sister because of his poems, so he should help her clean the snow on the roof.

In Beigou Village, there has been no snow at this time, since the continuous autumn rain in autumn was collected by the villagers carrying the grass dragon, to now the water has not fallen, even Lan Yi, an outsider, feels that the weather is abnormal.

"The Dragon Lord was carried away by us, and I don't know when I will be able to swim back, if I can't swim before the beginning of spring, we have to find a way to invite his old man back." The eight mothers and sisters-in-law with big bellies leaned on the kang, knocked Lan Yi soaked the fried pumpkin seeds in salt water, and sighed, "I knew that Liu Xiangu of Feixia Guan was so powerful, so we won't ask her to carry the grass dragon, this time it's a loss, it's a big loss!" ”

Yang, who was holding the soles of his shoes, did not agree with the words of the eighth wife and the second sister-in-law, "If Liu Xiangu is really so powerful, why can't she contain Widow Zheng's wandering spirit?" A few days ago, I saw Wang Deshou go to invite Langzhong again, saying that his mother can't sleep at night now, and she can't even get up from the kang. I don't think it snows this time has anything to do with carrying the grass dragon, and if it goes on like this, it won't be harvested every year, and I don't know if there will be a good harvest of wheat next year. ”

Liu Shi guarded the side of the kang, looked at the three girls who were crawling around, and said, "What's the hurry, it must be snowing at the bottom of the year." Now that the snow is only going to make it difficult to walk on the road, it might as well be late. ”

Everyone fell silent, knowing that Liu's was worried that the **** who had not returned was far away. (To be continued.) )
