Pei Yao is a man of action.

Especially the matter of going to sea has been brewing in his heart for many years, and now that he has finally waited for the four princes to get married, he will naturally be more at ease.

The courtiers were worried about his safety, but Pei Yao didn't say what he was going to do in the south, only said that he was going to the south.

Now that the wind and rain are smooth, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the emperor wants to go out of the palace to inspect, which is not a big deal, and the ministers of nature are worried about it, so they still start to prepare.

In particular, seeing that the emperor was going with the imperial concubine, he was less worried.

After all, when traveling with the concubine, the courtiers only go out to enjoy the scenery and relax as the emperor.

So in mid-April, Pei Yao set off.

Fang Yu couldn't resist it, so he naturally went along.

But at the end of the day, Fang Yu also wanted to go out and have a look.

Even if they are used to living in the palace, no one likes to be trapped in one place for the rest of their lives.

In particular, the women's academy presided over by Fang Yu, as well as the embroidery workshop, etc., have spread from Kyoto, and all major state capitals have them, and so far, Fang Yu has not been to see it.

I'm also curious.

From Kyoto, it took five days by land, followed by water.

To be honest, it's more comfortable to take a boat than a car.

Pei Yao only brought Fang Yu alone on this trip, and the seventh princess wanted to follow, but she was not allowed.

Naturally, I was a little selfish, and I thought about the world of two.

On the boat, the place is spacious, the whole big ship is three stories high, like a mobile house, starting from the second floor, up, is Pei Yao and Fang Yu's activity space, compared to sitting in the carriage for a day, can move freely at any time, of course, it is comfortable.

Nowadays, the weather in April and May, everything is thriving, and the scenery on both sides of the strait is breathtaking.

Blowing the wind on the splint every day, drinking tea, playing games, and enjoying the scenery is indeed leisurely.

In a few days, the ship will dock and supply the needed items, and Pei Yao will also take Fang Yu off the boat to go shopping.

After not leaving the palace gate for many years, the folk fireworks were almost forgotten, and he felt the excitement again, Fang Yu only felt that his body seemed to be filled with an aura, and the whole person was much lighter.

At first, it was Pei Yao who took her around, but gradually, it became that Fang Yu wanted to go out by herself.

After all, every time he goes to a place, Pei Yao has to go to the local government to inquire, Fang Yu can't live in the house and wants to go out.

Pei Yao had to send guards to follow.

And Fang Yu doesn't go to any bells and whistles, but likes to visit those market stalls.

These other special snacks are not available in the palace.

On this day, I was a little tired of shopping, and I saw that there was a teahouse nearby that was quite elegant, so I simply went in, asked for a pot of tea, and entered the private room.

After entering, I found that this private room also has a small balcony.

I sat down and drank a cup of tea, but it was still a little stuffy, so I went outside to blow the wind.

It just so happened that there were a hundred troupes on the street downstairs doing business, and the jugglers lined up in a long line, showing their skills in the procession, and there were also those who beat gongs and drums along the way, so lively.

Where has Fang Yu seen this in the palace, naturally he also leaned on the railing, and he saw it fresh.

As everyone knows, on the opposite side of the restaurant, a table of scholars drinking poetry is also looking at her.

The graceful woman was wearing a mist purple long skirt, leaning on the railing, supporting her cheeks with one hand, shaking a fan with the other, and her sleeves were loosely stacked in the crook of her arm, lining the exposed small arm like jade and snow, and hanging a transparent ice jade bracelet on her wrist, which made the woman even more slender and exquisite.

Although it is not a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, but a well-maintained woman has a unique charm, if the girl is a fairy elf, then at this moment Fang Yu's image in the eyes of this group of scholars, is a jade-faced goddess, graceful and beautiful and not allowed to be blasphemed.

A bold scholar wrote a poem with the strength of wine, and asked the second child in the teahouse to send it to Fang Yu.

Seeing the poem, Fang Yu smiled.

Naturally, it is not a poem by Lao Shizi expressing his admiration, it is pure praise and appreciation, so Fang Yu didn't say anything, but asked someone to put the poem away.

Unexpectedly, when she went back after shopping, when Pei Yao found this poem on the table, she was sour a little.

It's not hard to see why.

My own woman, when I was young, was not remembered, this is all, and I was praised by an unknown man who wrote poems, and no one felt uncomfortable.

Especially if Pei Yao is still the emperor, his heart can only be smaller.

When even snorted coldly, "A little thought, all of it is used in these ghost places, don't study hard for scientific examinations, and make poems of Rausch!" ”

"The concubine thinks it's not bad." Fang Yu said deliberately, "The emperor thinks, a person who can write such a poem can't say that he can't learn the article and is not good, besides, if he has improper thoughts, how dare he send it to his concubine?" It can be seen that it is a frank one. ”

"You still praise him?" Pei Yao's eyes narrowed.

At this time, Fang Yu burst out laughing, and then turned a few points.

"Okay, Your Majesty, the concubine is just joking a few words, the concubine brought this poem back, and she really thinks that the person who wrote the poem may be a talent."

Seeing that she was serious, Pei Yao also took a closer look at the poem in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"It is said that the words are like their people, this handwriting, the pen is strong, the force penetrates the back of the paper, there is no hard work to write such a good word, the words of the poem are also atmospheric and decent, although it is a poem that praises the woman's appearance, but there is no charming and sluggish atmosphere."

"So, the concubine just thought, the emperor cherishes his talents, and he can't say that he can take a look at this person's background." Fang Yu said.

Pei Yao frowned, "Since he has the ability, the scientific examination is enough, and he will see the truth at that time." ”

"The concubine is just curious about his talent, why he has not yet obtained fame at such an age, so he will mention it to the emperor." Fang Yu said calmly, "After he sent the poems, the concubine felt that this person had some talent, so she asked Qingrong to take a look quietly, and Qingrong came back and told the concubine that according to the teahouse Xiaoer, the scholar was about to be in his early thirties, but he didn't even have a reputation for talent." ”

This is indeed a bit strange, after all, with such good knowledge, why not go to the scientific examination?

After seeing that Pei Yao also had a strange look on his face, Fang Yu continued.

"The concubine ordered Qingrong to visit again, just because this person has been in business for generations."

Shinong industry and commerce, Daqi also has this saying, although the merchant is rich, but at the bottom of the list, the most despised.

Similarly, businessmen were not allowed to participate in scientific expeditions.

Hearing this, how could Pei Yao not understand what Fang Yu meant.

She brought this poem back, not because the poem praised her for being as beautiful as a goddess, but because Fang Yu wanted to tell Pei Yao that this talented person, because he was a businessman, could read but could not take scientific examinations.

So in the entire Daqi, how many people will be cut off from the road of scientific research because of the threshold of business at home, and how many of them are buried talents?

"I know, this person, I will send someone to investigate." Pei Yao looked thoughtful. (End of chapter)
