The snow has almost melted, and the warmth outside the palace is much more than that inside the palace.

Fu Yao hadn't seen so many people for a long time.

Bustling crowds, hawkers, and food stalls filled with heat and aroma.

She was like a surprised child, looking here and there, laughing uncontrollably, and the corners of her lips were cramping.

Li Yan took her on a visit in micro-clothes, and there were secret guards covering ten steps away, so she was relieved to look around, but she still followed closely.

As long as Fu Yao exceeded him by three steps, he would pull her back collar and carry the person back like a rabbit: "Slow down, slow down, wait for me." ”

Fu Yao grinned and dragged him in the direction he wanted to go.

When they came, the two of them prepared some copper coins and broken silver, but Fu Yao didn't buy anything, and when he saw a novelty, he just picked it up and put it down.

Li Yan couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have anything you want to bring back?" ”

Fu Yao shook his head: "These, this, don't." ”

Li Yan understood, this is something he wants to buy, and he is looking for silver in it.

However, Fu Yan had difficulty speaking, and he couldn't accurately describe what he wanted, so Li Yan didn't ask, and only followed her to find it.

Fu Yao walked down a street to the end, and finally stopped.

In front of her, there is a calligraphy and painting shop.

Fu Yao let go of Li Yan and rushed in almost instantly, and the shopkeeper greeted him warmly: "Does the guest officer need calligraphy and painting?" Our master here can do it on the spot. ”

Fu Yao shook his head, pointed to a painting, and said, "Color." ”

"Color?" The shopkeeper was confused, "You mean the color of this painting is not good-looking?" It's okay, it's okay, we can draw whatever you like. ”

Fu Yao still shook his head, "Yan, color, this." ”

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "You ......"

Seeing that he didn't understand, Fu Yao's eyes for help looked at Li Yan.

He should understand what he means, he understands, he understands, right?

I have understood so many times in the palace that Fu Yao has always felt that talking to Li Yan is the easiest.

Li Yan also looked dazed: "Do you like this color?" ”

Fu Yao: "......"

Fu Yao repeated again: "Color, want, color." ”

"I see, I see." Li Yan suddenly realized, "You want a painting of this color." ”

Fu Yao: "............"

Fu Yao was about to cry angrily, she thought about it for a long time, she finally had the opportunity, she didn't want to go back empty-handed, but the more anxious she was, the more speechless she became, and in the end she could only stomp her feet with hatred, and looked at Li Yan very unwillingly: "Damn! ”

Li Yan never expected that she would work so hard to hold back such a sentence and laugh directly.

Fu Yao was even more angry, and hammered Li Yan hard: "You, you ......"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore, I won't tease you," Li Yan smiled and sighed, "Shopkeeper, wrap up all the colors of paint you have in your store." ”

Fu Yao was stunned and looked at Li Yan in disbelief.

He understands!

He really understood!!

It's so annoying, I understand and tease her.

Fu Yao pursed his lips, very puzzled, and clenched his fist and smashed him.

Anyway, outside the palace, and no one saw it, she had to beat it hard.

Li Yan couldn't cry or laugh, brought her to his side, leaned closer and whispered: "It's okay, I'll take you out to play at the risk of being scolded by those old guys tomorrow, and I'm not happy if you want to beat me all the way." ”

Li Yan leaned closer, and the words were almost close to her ear.

She could clearly smell the faint sandalwood fragrance on Li Yan's body.

With so many people around watching, Fu Jiao's roots instantly turned red, so she snorted lightly, and her feet under her long skirt quietly moved to the side, trying to stay away from this demon who was making fun of her.

Li Yan was simply domineering and unreasonable at this time, and dragged the person back: "It's dangerous to be too far away from me." ”

"You're just," Fu Yao scolded angrily, "You're dangerous." ”

Maybe it's not in the palace, Li Yan hasn't spoken so wantonly for a long time, he looked at the angry queen, and couldn't help but raise his lips.

It is a joy that I feel from the bottom of my heart.

Fu Yao scolded twice, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and suddenly whispered: "Thank you, color." ”

"Huh?" Li Yan was slightly stunned, and his always sharp eyes were slightly bent, "You don't have to thank me." ”

Each color is wrapped in a lot, the store rarely sees such a big customer, when the paint is brought over, he smiled politely: "The two of you take it well, it's husband and wife, with a face, it's the first time you come to the capital?" ”

Li Yan smiled: "It's the first time." ”

"I see, the capital is a good place, and there are countless beauties like clouds," the shopkeeper looked at Fu Yao and said with a smile, "But the guest officer is really blessed, he has to hold such a beauty, I am afraid that few people can see it again." ”

The shopkeeper seemed to be self-cooked, and without waiting for the two to react, he continued: "The two of you buy so many pigments, are you going to live in Beijing for a long time, but you lack a job or a place to stay?" If not, my Zhao Sanren is very well-connected, and I can introduce them to the two. ”

Li Yan was originally going to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped: "I can only study, and I have no power to tie the chicken, but I yearn for officialdom and have been waiting for an opportunity to show my strength, can you also help me?" ”

"I want to be an official," the shopkeeper looked embarrassed, "this, I'm afraid this is a little difficult." ”

As he spoke, he twisted it in his hand, and Li Yan raised his eyebrows.

This is what it means that as long as money is given, it can be arranged?

Li Yan instantly came to his mind, he wanted to see what this person could do, so he took out two taels of silver and put it in Zhao San's hand: "Do you think this is enough?" ”

"Oh," the shopkeeper said, "It's enough to buy news, but it's still a little difficult to take up a position." ”

Well?

Li Yan smiled in his heart, and took out two taels of silver: "This is the expenses of ordinary people for a month, no matter how much I can't handle." ”

Zhao San shrugged: "Okay, it's difficult, this is not the place to talk, little brother come with me." ”

Li Yan grabbed Fu Yao, quietly gave the left and right secret guards a look, and followed the shopkeeper into the back door.

Outside the back door is a small open-air courtyard, with dry moss growing in the cracks of the green bricks, and a stone table in the middle of the courtyard.

Li Yan and Fu Yao sat down, and Zhao Sanshen said mysteriously: "Recently, the rear secretary of Jingzhao Division has been sent to a civilian errand job, and the work is very simple, and the paper for sorting out the file review is gone, and he is still a nine-grade official, how about it, are you willing to do it?" ”

"Kyo Shoji?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows, "This is the yamen of the capital, and it even has the power to interfere in the case in the palace, I heard that even a gatekeeper has to take three exams and five trials to pass, are you lying?" ”

"What am I lying to you for? I recommended the classics and histories," Zhao San patted his chest, "I have taken care of everything inside, the main brothers are in place, and it is not a problem to take the three exams and five trials." ”

Li Yan asked, "Then how much money do I need to prepare?" ”

Zhao San stretched out a slap: "Fifty taels." ”
