Chapter 8: Meet Abin Again
"Childe, it's so big!"
"That's nature."
There were two people around the table in the room, both looking at the shiny jade beads on the table.
After entering the palace to face the saint, rewards are naturally indispensable.
Li Mengsheng harvested a thousand taels of silver, a hundred pieces of silk, and a number of jewelry.
When Qiu Xiang fell in love with the glowing jade beads at a glance, a thousand taels of silver couldn't take her eyes off her.
This pearl was accidentally obtained by Emperor Jingwen when he traveled to the South China Sea, and the jade bead in the mouth of the merman.
Therefore, it is also called the mouth shark bead.
"It has the ability to calm the mind and help with practice. It is often accompanied by its body and can prolong its life.
Such a big one, rare.
I've also heard the elders of the clan talk about the fact that treasures don't need to be remembered, and when you see them, you will know it.
Sure enough, I was instantly hooked. ”
Akika's eyes sparkled, and she could tell that she liked things that were shining.
Oh~?
Li Mengsheng remembered that the Dog Emperor threw it to him casually, saying that it was for lighting.
The sixth elder came out of that corner again, nodded and said, "Miss Qiuxiang is right. Such a big one, at least from the mouth of the demon king, the prince also has a size like this. ”
Li Mengsheng recalled that when he was a child, he did play with a night pearl of a similar size.
Unexpectedly, the two brothers went to the South China Sea to Huohuo and snatched away the teeth beads of others.
Qiu Xiang flax was stunned, Demon King! The existence of the third order.
"I've got you!"
"What... Is it? Qiu Xiang stammered, is this the benefit of hugging her thighs.
Li Mengsheng did this, firstly, because the beads were given by the emperor, and he was not at ease with them;
the second is that you have one, and it is not bad for one or two years to prolong life or something;
The third is that he knows Qiu Xiang's obsession, and this bead is very suitable for her.
For a powerhouse of the level of the Sixth Elder, the effect of this treasure is already minimal, so naturally there is no objection.
Don't wait for Qiu Xiang to say something 'nothing to repay, only to promise with his body'.
He pointed to the other rewards and added, "All these are for you, and you must be the chief steward." ”
Qiu Xiang was so excited that she couldn't express it, and she only nodded desperately three heads.
......
At this time, the sun is setting and the lights are on.
The white clothes are better than the snow, and the green silk is like ink; The waist is tied with a white jade wine jug, and the hand-cranked folding fan is cranked; Stop and go, flow back to Fang City, the person with the image of a wandering son is Li Mengsheng.
This squirrel's outfit is the original's favorite.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the year in Icefield City was extremely cold, the original body would have welded this clothes to his body.
It seems that there is a reason for this, Li Mengsheng is dressed up like this, and his mood is very happy, and he feels incredible.
Li Mengsheng wanted to go out early, come out to try his luck, and pick up the light ball.
However, the hot weather made him uncomfortable.
Martial arts do not invade in cold and summer, and Confucian and Taoist scholars have their own heroic protection, and they are not afraid of the scorching sun.
But he couldn't.
"Childe, your wine, a total of one or six dollars."
Quitting drinking is not a day's work, and Li Mengsheng has no intention of quitting.
In the past few days, I have been made by poisonous wine, and the wine has not sticked.
He took the wine and took a sip as if alive.
"Good wine."
With the original drinking experience, this 'brandy' is also considered superior.
The world's first wine - passion alcohol? Don't drink it!
"Childe has good taste, and my family's wine has a century-old heritage."
Businessmen love to listen to the praise of customers, and the shopkeeper is willing to chatter: "I see the son's eyes, but I have just come to the capital, right?" ”
Li Mengsheng raised his eyebrows, "The shopkeeper has good eyesight, how can you see it?" ”
There are as many as 3 million permanent residents in the capital, and with the floating population, it is even more.
The shopkeeper smiled: "I see that the son's temperament is extraordinary, gentle as jade, and his birth must be extraordinary."
The noble son of the prince and aristocracy of the capital is also known to the small one. What's more, after a while, it will be the day of enrollment in the Holy Academy, and most of the new faces that appear in the capital are here for this.
Presumably, Childe is also a reader, and the little one congratulates Childe on his good results. ”
The three holy institutes in Beijing are not only the highest institutions, but also the holy places in the eyes of people all over the world.
They are the White Deer Holy Temple, the Artemisia Holy Temple, and the Hanlin Holy Temple.
Li Mengsheng remembered that Doctor Jia, who shocked him in a cold sweat a few days ago, was from the Artemisia Saint Hospital.
"The medical Tao of the Artemisia Saint Courtyard is also unique in the world, and Doctor Jia has four Artemisia annua embroidered on his chest at such a young age, and he is actually the master of the Holy Academy!"
The lower three grades of Confucianism and Taoism are called Confucianism, the middle three grades are called masters, and the upper three grades are called great Confucianism.
Li Mengsheng smiled and nodded to the shopkeeper, which was a response.
Because a slightly dejected figure slid through the corner of his eye, catching his attention.
Isn't this ****.
He tossed two butterfly coins to the shopkeeper and followed with a folding fan.
"Huh... Thank you for the reward. Behind him came the shopkeeper's happy laughter.
......
Zhang Bin is upright, and Wuzhou is also.
The only scholar in the old Zhang family, the only person who has hope of entering Confucianism and Taoism, has been persuaded by his clan many times to abandon literature and follow martial arts.
Although martial arts are a waste of money, the Zhang family is a family of martial arts, and the cultivation experience is ready-made, not to mention that it is quite expensive to study.
Mr. Zhang said: "Abin, your grades are not ideal. Why bother to drill this horn, Wuzhou is the hometown of martial arts, aren't you sacrificing your roots! ”
Abin does not have the strong physique of the Wuzhou people, but is a little thin.
In the face of Lao Zhang's persuasion, he always replied stubbornly: "It is because of the lack of Confucian and Taoist monks that Wuzhou is ridiculed by other states as a barbarian state!" ”
"Isn't there still the North Plains State at the bottom! No, I mean no one in Wuzhou can teach you Confucianism. Lao Zhang hated iron and said that iron could not be made of steel.
Then he muttered in a low voice: "What's more, you alone can't change the situation in Wuzhou." ”
"Confucian, that's it!"
Like most young people, the heart is higher than the sky.
My life is up to me, not to God!
You need to know that the young days are the first in the world!
This may be the romance and enthusiasm unique to teenagers.
Lao Zhang sighed, some people have read books all their lives, but they have not been able to enter the product.
Great Confucian! How many are there in the world?
Isn't it clear to him about his son's Confucian and Taoist talents?
Lao Zhang's family didn't have this life, but he knew that his son would not cry when he saw the coffin, and he would not turn back if he did not hit the south wall!
"Dad, I'm going to study in the capital!"
In the end, Abin got his wish and came to the dazzling capital.
Recalling the big fight with his father before leaving, Abin sighed.
I have encountered walls everywhere in the capital and have been severely beaten for three years.
When I came, Confucianism and Taoism were in the Nine Grades Enlightenment Realm, hey, it was still Nine Grades now.
......
"Brother Abin, slow down!"
The hearty cry pulled back Abin's thoughts, and he stopped to look back: what a handsome boy.
The person who came shook the folding fan and added with a smile: "I don't know your name either, I happened to hear others call you Abin, and I hope Brother Abin doesn't mind." ”
Abin is a nickname, and it is very rude for people who are not familiar with it to call it directly.
"My name is Li Mengsheng, the word Xingchen, and the people of Beiyuan are also."
This is the first time Li Mengsheng has introduced himself seriously, and there was no need for it before.
This is also done to show respect.
Just because of the word 'Abin', it's worth it.
Abin was in a trance, and the face of the person in front of him appeared from the bottom of his heart.
That beggar?
Wasn't he arrested by the White Tiger Guard?
Kitahara Li Mengsheng?
All kinds of information were linked, his head exploded, and he hurriedly said:
"I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, in Xia Zhang Bin, the word is positive, born in Wuzhou, and now studying in the White Deer Holy Academy, it is the ninth grade...."
"Huh.. Huh.. I'm not checking my account! ”
Li Mengsheng couldn't cry or laugh, he was afraid that if he didn't interrupt, Abin would not dig up the ancestral grave and introduce it?
………
Bai Lanxuan, the two sat opposite each other.
As for why I didn't go to Baixiang Building, it was not that I was afraid of being embarrassed by touching the scene, but that Baixiang Building was out of business.
The butterfly coin on the top floor of it was stolen, Li Mengsheng realized in his heart, and gave a thumbs up to the six elders.
"Your Royal Highness, what can I do for you?"
Abin asked humbly, and the prince greeted him politely and invited him to dinner, and he was terrified.
The sage said: Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
"Of course, I will repay the favor of twenty coins."
Li Mengsheng didn't see the arrogance of a scholar in him, he showed grovelling, and couldn't help frowning.
"It's a trivial matter, why worry about it."
Abin suddenly changed his inherent impression of the son.
"The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring."
Readers like to chew on words, Abin repeated it in his heart and wrote it down fiercely.
Gently shaking the fan in his hand and slowly pecking the jade pot of wine, Li Mengsheng said: "I see your sad face, I need help very much." ”
After a few glasses of turbid wine, Abin also revealed his heart.
He needed to pour out his bitterness so much.
It turned out that he left home when he was fifteen years old, with the words 'Martial arts can't save Wuzhou, I want to be an official, a big official!' Honghu Zhi came to the capital to study.
As soon as he entered the official road, he was as deep as the sea, and his classmates and friends said: "Entering the court as an official depends on the background and connections, not dead study." ”
So he pretended to follow the whiskers and flattered the students with backgrounds.
But he is upright, and every time he slaps his ass, he doesn't shoot it right.
If you are not careful, you will be disliked, your connections will not be mixed, and your time will be wasted.
A few months ago, I took the line of Zhu Botao, and I wanted to touch the upper floor of the capital, but I didn't think that after the incident with Baixianglou, it fell short.
"It was His Highness's appearance that was not afraid of power that woke me up, and now I suddenly realize that the original path I took was deformed and the wrong way!"
Abin was drunk and drank too little.
According to the words of the people of the northern plains, if you can't drink it, you go to the children's table.
Li Mengsheng felt strange when he heard it, Abin, what did you hear, 'Your Highness is not afraid of power? ’
"Your Highness, I'm not like me anymore, I'm not like a scholar anymore!
The rhetoric that was once promised now seems to be a joke! In the past, I tried to read at night, but I was silently laughing at me..."
Abin cried out loud with the strength of his wine.
This movement attracted the attention of the diners, and they all cast regretful glances.
Among them, there are many students from various states who rushed to the capital to participate in the entrance examination.
"Hey, this brother's Taoist heart is no longer stable, and it will be difficult for Confucianism to advance in the future." A Confucian scholar said truthfully, his tone full of regret.
Some people are also disdainful: "Tut-tut, such a mind, it is difficult to achieve great things." ”
The person who spoke was wearing a Confucian robe embroidered with green mountains, and two green mountain totems were embroidered on the cuffs, announcing that he was a Confucian student in the eight-grade self-cultivation realm.
"It's a Confucian student of Qingzhou Qingshan Academy!"
"Looking at his age, he turned out to be eight pins!"
There was no shortage of people around who knew this Confucian robe, and they were talking nonsense.
Qingzhou claims to be the hometown of Confucianism, but there is no way to study it.
However, this state is full of outstanding people and talents. Castle Peak Academy is a first-class institution excluding the three sacred academies.
The man's expression was unruly, and he continued: "Such an unbearable person can actually enter the White Deer Holy Courtyard. It can be seen that the several major holy temples are nothing more than that. ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like stabbing an ant's nest.
The local students and those who wanted to go to the Holy Courtyard were not happy and blamed:
"This brother, when people are always frustrated, you have spoken."
"How about the Holy Courtyard, you are not qualified to point fingers, is Brother Tai arrogant!"
"What a toad jumped on the back of a cow - self-righteousness!"
"Second, please apologize!"
.....
"Apologize? Why should I apologize to the coward, he doesn't deserve it. The man didn't get angry but laughed, "You're just a raccoon dog!" ”
"Then you're not here to study in the capital!"
The man looked disdainful: "Studying? Scold... We are here...."
"Zhu Ganglie, be cautious!"
