Chapter 8: I admit it
"Didn't the starling go to the forbidden military camp for training?" Xu Qingan looked at Xu Chuan with some curiosity and asked.
In the past, Xu Chuan stayed in the forbidden military camp and trained with that group of big men when he had nothing to do, but now how could he think about going to the city to drink flower wine?
Looking at Xu Qing'an's puzzled gaze, Xu Chuan just smiled and said, "Lao Jiu, don't ask so much, the relationship between the two of us is not bad, that's why I took you, you just said you want to go, right?" ”
Xu Qingan thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll go with this starling!" ”
Originally, Xu Qingan planned to go out of the city alone to take a look at this Chang'an City by the way.
Outside the palace gate, Xu Chuan had already asked someone to bring a carriage, and after Xu Qing'an followed Xu Chuan into the carriage, he heard Xu Chuan instruct the groom: "Go to the mansion of the scholar Li Xiangru!" ”
Chang'an City is divided into two cities, inner and outer cities, and the imperial palace belongs to the central location of Chang'an City, which is the absolute core hub, also known as the Forbidden City!
Out of the Forbidden City is the inner city, where the ministers of the imperial court, the royal family, and the residence.
Lee Sang-ru is one of the cabinet scholars, and his Lee Mansion is naturally in the inner city.
Xu Qingan said: "I didn't expect that Starling and Master Li Xiangru still have a connection?" ”
Hearing Xu Qing'an's words, Xu Chuan's somewhat dark face was a little embarrassed: "How do I know any scholars, you don't know, these scholars open and close their mouths, and they are all the same, and I have a headache when I hear it!" ”
Xu Qingan was puzzled, "Then you are still trying to make it up?" ”
Xu Chuan sighed lightly and said: "Who wants to go up, didn't I hear that the daughter of Lord Li's family has also reached the age of marriage, just..., you know!"
Xu Qingan's eyes gradually widened when he heard this, I don't understand this!
Good guy, you heard that other people's daughters are getting married, so you are in a hurry to serve other people's flower pots, isn't this the one who came to the door to scold and be beaten?
Xu Qingan suddenly felt that he was fooled into a thief ship by a starling!
"Stop, I'm getting off!" Xu Qingan hurriedly shouted.
"Don't, don't!" Xu Chuan saw that Lao Jiu was about to get out of the car, and hurriedly pounced on Xu Qing'an's mouth, and then said to the guards outside: "You guys go faster!" ”
Suddenly, Xu Qingan felt that the carriage was speeding up.
"Woo woo woo ~ " Xu Qingan was covered and speechless.
Xu Qingan's small body can't escape the palm of the old eight, and the brute force of the powerful old eight-man is used on his ninth brother first!
Seeing that Xu Chuan was determined to take himself to the door, he stopped struggling.
Xu Chuan looked at Xu Qing'an's reaction that was not as fierce as just now, and then slowly let go of him.
Xu Chuan sneered a little crampedly: "Lao Jiu, I can't do anything about it, we have so many brothers, you are the most honest, wait a while to get to Lord Li's house, you have to help the starling brother on the side!" ”
Xu Qingan glanced at Xu Chuan helplessly, and said lightly: "I said, what are you going to do this time?" Directly propose? ”
"Propose? How can that, I just want to meet first, I inquired a few days ago, this daughter of the Li family will participate in Zizhuxuan's poetry meeting! Xu Chuan waved his hand and said with a chuckle.
Xu Qingan heard that he was going to attend the poetry meeting, so he said: "Then isn't it the same if you go directly to the poetry meeting?" Why do you go all the way to the Li Mansion again? ”
Xu Chuan looked at the eyes of a nerd and said, "You don't understand this, do you?" Go to Li's Mansion to recognize the door first, and then take Lord Li's daughter to the poetry club together, isn't this just to be one step ahead? ”
"Oh~" Xu Qingan smiled: "It turns out that the starling brother is playing this abacus, and the building near the water will get the moon first?" ”
"The building near the water gets the moon first? Yes, yes, that's what it means, Lao Jiu, your literary style is not bad, it's just right, you have to help me when this poem goes! Xu Chuan patted Xu Qing'an's shoulder and said.
"What's the matter? Starling, do you want me to help you chase your daughter-in-law? Xu Qingan chuckled.
Xu Chuan hugged his fist at Xu Qingan and said, "Help, help!" ”
"It's okay to help, but first say yes, I'll be paid!" Xu Qingan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan waved his hand indifferently: "No problem, as long as you say, brother, if I can do it, I will do it!" ”
"Okay, I won't say much, when I get to the poetry meeting later, I will sell you ten gold for a poem!" Xu Qingan said.
Xu Chuan suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Xu Qing'an and said, "What? Ten gold for a poem? No, Lao Jiu, you are robbing money, my monthly salary this month is only ten gold, what kind of poetry can be so valuable? ”
Xu Qingan just smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when the time comes!" ”
While the two were talking, they felt the carriage gradually stop, and the voice of the guard came from outside the curtain: "Your Highness, the University Scholar's Mansion has arrived!" ”
Seeing that the university scholar's mansion had arrived, Xu Chuan did not dwell on this matter.
After the two got out of the carriage, they didn't expect to see that a carriage that looked very luxurious had been parked in front of the door of the Li Mansion, presumably after a certain official, because there were four personal soldiers standing next to the carriage.
In Daxia, those who can be guarded by personal soldiers can basically be equipped with several generals' mansions or military marquis' mansions with high prestige in the army, and the third-grade generals are equipped with fifty pro-soldiers, the second-grade ones are one hundred, and the first-rank generals and military marquis' mansions are equipped with three hundred pro-soldier guards.
This is the military system established from the time when Emperor Taizu conquered the world.
Xu Qingan looked at the carriage and teased: "Starling, it seems that the daughter of Master Li's family is quite sought-after, do you want to go up and say hello to your competitors?" ”
But he didn't want to, Xu Chuan just snorted coldly and said, "Say hello? It's good if you didn't have a fight! ”
Xu Qing'an looked at Xu Chuan's face and seemed to be a little wrong, so he asked, "Look at it like this, does the starling know who the person in this carriage is?" ”
Xu Chuan said coldly: "Su Qiu, a young master of the Dingguo Marquis's family, relying on his grandfather is a first-class military marquis, in Chang'an City, rampant and domineering, I have long seen him unhappy!" ”
As he was talking, Xu Qingan saw a man with a face like a crown of jade walking down from the carriage in front of him, with a brocade robe and sachet and a folding fan in his hand, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a little white face of a Sven scum!
"Yo, isn't this the Eighth Prince? You didn't stay in your barracks, how did you get here? Su Qiu said with a faint smile on his face.
It's just that Su Qiu's face is pale, his eyes are blank, let's laugh, it's a little less elegant, but a little more obscene, it's a pity that this handsome skin is gone!
Xu Chuan looked at Su Qiu and said, "Where am I going, what's the matter with you?" Su Qiu, put yourself in the right position, don't ruin the reputation of your Su family by then! ”
Su Qiu said with some disdain: "I don't like to hear what the Eighth Prince said, what do you want me to put myself in the right position?" I'm just a gentleman, I admit it, so what? ”
"As for ruining my Su family's reputation, there is no need for the Eighth Prince to worry about it, after all, my father and grandfather didn't say anything, right?"
"Humph!" Xu Chuan snorted coldly.
He also didn't expect that Su Qiu would directly admit that he was a gentleman, which caught Xu Chuan off guard.
After all, although this guy is a little overbearing, he doesn't bully men and women, and he is greedy and perverts the law, so he can only let him go!
