Walking across the stone bridge at the head of Qishui and crossing the old bluestone slabs, Bai Jiu and Ouyang Luo merged into the crowd on the street, walking closer to the place where the sun was rising, and it didn't take long for them to come to an alley.

The alley is very short, but the location is excellent, not far from the side is Seifu-in, and there are always many students gathered here after the academy.

This alley is not famous, not even a name, only the students of Seifuin Temple call it a backstreet.

It's a long way from the gate of Seifu-in, but it's so close to the back door, and the people who come here to eat are the old students who have known each other for a long time.

Ouyang Luo pulled Bai Jiu and walked in, just like a woman in love pulling her lover. Bai Jiu looked very shy, and Ouyang Luo didn't say a word, so they walked into a very ordinary shop in the alley.

Qingfeng Temple is next to Qishui, and the back street is at the back of the courtyard. There is a delicious fish in Ki Shui, which is called bean curd fish after cooking here.

The fatty grass carp in the water is specially processed, the tofu is sliced and heated, seasoned with chili peppers and peanuts, and finally put into a huge earthenware container and served lively.

The simplest ingredients, but with the most authentic deliciousness.

The pottery is shallow and hot mist spilling out from the restaurant, mixed with the mellow aroma of the fish, which is very attractive in early autumn.

Today's business is a little cold, maybe it is not time, it is the time when the old and new students are changing, in the past in the lively shop, now there are only two tables with customers, one pair is like the old students in the courtyard, and the other pair is like the nearest business.

Bai Jiu Ouyang Luo and the two walked in, and before they could sit down, they heard the conversation between the old students.

One person said, "This year's enrollment is very unexpected. Who is that Bai Jiu? I have never heard of it, and I actually fought for the name of Zhong Tianming. ”

Another laughed: "The first one I heard before was from Dongzhou, and the first one last year was from Beiyan, if this year's one is Zhong Tianming, it seems that we have no one in Dayu." But fortunately, it was a long time to kill. ”

The student said: "Yesterday's enrollment, the induction in the front yard Shi Liang almost made Qian Jiaoxi choke on a sip of tea, which startled many students in the backyard. ”

"Then why did Ouyang Luo come to our academy? Shouldn't she choose natural selection? That's where a genius like her should be. ”

The student shook his head and suddenly smiled, "Maybe people just like to read?" Or, I want to be seen by Takeyama on the top. ”

The student on the opposite side hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Zhushan is not comparable to the Purple Shirt Academy, there is no shortage of geniuses there." ”

After Bai Jiu and Ouyang Luo came in, the two of them glanced up, and they only stayed on Ouyang Luo for a few more seconds before retracting their gaze.

Obviously, I don't know it, it seems to be famous, and not everyone necessarily knows what it looks like.

.......

The table in this house is very clean, but there is not the slightest grease in the place where it is easy to get oil, the two of them found a corner to sit down, and Ouyang Luo called a bean curd fish very skillfully.

The owner, like his shop, is a very clean and neat person. In his eyes, Bai Jiu and Ouyang Luo were just a pair of ordinary students in Qingfeng Academy, and after ordering a few side dishes on their own, they went to the back kitchen to prepare.

There were only these two people left in the corner, Ouyang Luo waved her hand lightly, and to put it mildly, she isolated the surrounding sounds, she looked at Bai Jiu and said: "People in the family will always have some pride, while secular people will follow and coax, even Qingfeng Yuan can't change this temperament in his bones." ”

Bai Jiu asked, "Aren't you also from a family?" ”

Ouyang Luo replied: "I am, I'm also very proud, but I prefer quietness." What about you? The surname Bai was famous in the famous city back then. ”

Ouyang Luo's surname is Ouyang, a member of the family, she knows that the Bai family's reputation in Dayu was much higher than that of the Ouyang family, but this was more than ten years ago, and among the four major families before, the Bai family and the Chen family have always been incompatible, which is a recognized fact.

So when the four families met privately that night, what Ouyang Luo didn't understand was that the junior sent by the Chen family would have the surname Bai.

Bai Jiu poured himself a glass of white water, trying not to think about the lingering picture in his mind, and said with a smile: "Not all white is the white of the famous city. ”

Ouyang Luo blinked, a little moved, she said: "Now you are the number one in Qingfeng Courtyard, after today, half of the people in Yong'an City will remember your name." So, why aren't you excited at all? You know, Zhong Tianming has been waiting for this opportunity. ”

Over the years, the top few of the Tianqi Four Courtyards will be announced on the big list, located in the city, on the broadest Divine Martial Dao.

Bai Jiu said: "Being famous is not a good thing for reading, let alone not having a other half?" ”

"The other half is naturally those who can only practice and don't ask about the world, Da Yu Wen rules the country, and this time the question is still from someone on Zhushan, and what the female professor said should be so domineering, you are going to be famous."

"Female professor? Which female professor? ”

"Oh, I forgot you didn't." Ouyang Luo pondered slightly, and then said, "It's the old woman who helped you out of the siege in the end. ”

Bai Jiu was a little surprised, and asked suspiciously, "Is it her?" But how could the old professor think about sweeping the floor? ”

"Who knows about the things of the readers?" Ouyang Luo shrugged his shoulders slightly. "She's a well-known science professor in Seifuin, but she's old and retired a few years ago, no one will let her pick up a broom, she wants to exercise herself, and she volunteered."

"I see."

"In two months, Wenju and Wuju will start at the same time, don't you have any ideas?"

After listening to Ouyang Luo's words, Bai Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Wenju, I heard that you can use the identity of a student of Qingfeng Academy to participate directly, you can try this." However, Wuju, Miss Ouyang, can't you see it? I didn't practice. ”

The two old students of Qingfeng Temple had already gotten up and left. In the shop, only Ouyang Luo and Bai Jiu were left sitting opposite each other.

Ouyang Luo asked, "No?" No? ”

"I don't know, I just haven't practiced."

She looked at the young man in front of her who was as big as herself, thinking that now that she was in the mirror, she couldn't feel a trace of true qi fluctuations from his body. Why? Could it be that he really came from afar just to study, maybe he was really just an ordinary person who had nothing to do with the daimyo, and why was this person obviously very young, his eyes were very bright, but his eyebrows and eyes were so low? It's weird.

As if sensing Ouyang Luo's gaze, Bai Jiu also looked back.

The wind in early autumn is slightly cool, but the store is warm, and to outsiders, the two seem to be a couple with affection. Until......

"Delicious bean curd fish, please use it slowly."

The boss brought a pot of hot bean curd fish, interrupting the seemingly affectionate gaze of the two.

The ceramic container is covered with white foam, which is the nutrition of the fish, and the condiment is just right, and the flavor is abnormal. Unlike elsewhere, there is not a trace of grease on the outside of the containers, so it's no wonder that even the tables and chairs are so clean.

Then a few side dishes were served, and the two began to eat.

It was quiet, neither of them spoke. Maybe it's because the fish is really delicious, and the bones are hard to remove.

In the quiet corner, apart from the sound of dishes and chopsticks, the only sound in the kitchen is the sound in the distance.

Bai Jiu has grown up so far, he is young, and the memory of the Bai family is very shallow, but those bloody pictures always remind him that he is the enemy. If it weren't for Second Brother Chen's rescue, he would have died with his family when he was five years old, in that distant green mountain. His name also tells him all the time that he has to live longer, he has to become stronger.

He wants to prove to the world that the Bai family is not wrong, and the imperial court is not right.

Children love to tell right from wrong, but adults only look at the results.

He wants to see the world, so why doesn't the world want to see him?
