Tap

The night was long, and the planning was staggered.

After the scholar and Jia Gongzi left, the shopkeeper simply cleaned up and served a table of wine and food.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the four of them drank freely on the platform, just in time to see the crescent moon.

The wine is intoxicating, the moon is intoxicating, and the wine of friends is even more intoxicating under the moonlight.

Waiting until dawn, Xu Changan raised his head, only to see that he had been exposed to the sun for three days, he was lying on the table, there were more than ten empty wine jars next to him, the wine jars rolled to the ground at will, there was no one around, and there was a voice downstairs, presumably the shopkeeper got up early to do business, and he was afraid of disturbing Xu Changan, so he didn't do business on the second floor today.

Xu Changan smiled, the shopkeeper's behavior made him more comfortable than sending him to the soft rain bed.

If he is sent to the big bed, Xu Changan will feel that the shopkeeper and the butcher are afraid of him, to put it more colloquially, they are afraid of power;

Listening to the shouts of Xiao Er below and the urging of customers, I think that his business is good this morning.

Xu Changan shook his robe full of wine, thought about it, and jumped out of the window at the back of the house.

He looked up at the sun, estimated the time, and immediately hurried back to the Hou Mansion.

Xu Changan was a little panicked, he seemed to have seen the little master waiting for him at the door with a ring ruler.

When he reached the door, he quietly climbed over the wall, looked around carefully, and returned to his mansion like a thief.

When he raised his head, he saw the expressionless little master holding the ring ruler and gently patting his palm, expressionless.

Xu Changan was startled by this ghost-like little master, so he could only hang his head and walk to the little master.

The little master stood in place, not moving, Shen Lang ran behind the little master, and gloated at Xu Changan with a grimace.

"Have you drunk?" asked the little master softly.

Xu Changan nodded.

He originally thought that the little master would scold him, but he didn't expect the little master to say directly: "I want to leave for a while." ”

Xu Changan blurted out.

"Where are you going?"

The little master smiled and said, "This is the matter of scholars in the world, and I suddenly want to go and see it this year." After finishing speaking, he strode away, and when he went out, he turned his head to look at the four big words "Zhongyi Houfu", and muttered to himself: "Thank you, future junior brother, the threshold of this world's scholars should be mentioned!"

......

Outside the city of Chang'an.

There is a huge courtyard, and there is a huge locust tree stretching out in the middle of this brick and green house.

The courtyard was boxy and entrenched on the river, and on the other side of the river there were two houses not long ago. The people did not know who the owners of these three houses were, but the owners of the two new houses should have the surname He and the surname Chu.

The middle-aged man in the brocade suit, who was about the year old, shook the folding fan and walked from the foot of the imperial city to the Anhua Gate, smiling at the corners of his mouth along the way, looking at these rich people and nodding quite smugly.

After passing through the Anhua Gate, you will go out of the imperial city.

This middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked all the way forward, and his temper was also very good.

If someone greets him, he will also smile in response, and if a vendor does not notice touching his white shoes, he will also pursue it, and he can bend down and wipe it clean.

He went all the way to the outside of the house.

He looked at the two houses opposite, and at this time a one-armed old man saw him from a distance, and only felt a little familiar, and a person's name appeared in his heart, but then he shook his head, that person was notoriously perverse and violent, and it could never be that person.

The old man didn't think much about it, glanced at the house opposite that seemed to be uninhabited, and heard the cry of his little granddaughter, so he picked up the ball that fell outside the yard like an ordinary old man, and ran back to the house happily.

The middle-aged man walked to the house, stroked the vermilion door with his hand, and then knocked rhythmically. After a while, a small opening opened at the gate, and the old man in the black robe was a little gloomy, especially the eyes and hooked nose, and a miserable white face as if he had been soaked in water for a long time. The voice was cold and hoarse, like a voice from the underworld in the story.

"Identity?"

He was concise and to the point.

The middle-aged man groped for a token from his body and handed it over, with the word "Xuanyuan" on it.

The old man took the token and closed the small opening again.

After a while, a crack opened in the door, and the middle-aged man squeezed in.

I saw the flowers and trees inside, competing for beauty, and the carved beams and painted walls were also exquisite.

"The arrival of the eldest prince is far away. ”

A slightly fat old man was trimming the trees with a pair of scissors, and he said this, but his body did not move at all, still with his back to the eldest prince.

"I've seen General Fan. "Even if he is the eldest prince, facing the person in front of him, he has to be respectful. The old man still turned his back to him, nodded slightly, and said, "I don't know what the eldest prince is doing here?"

The eldest prince smiled slightly and said, "No, does your old man have two more neighbors?"

The old man picked up the scissors, moved them to the side, looked at the little tree he saw, and continued to prune.

"Do you see the big locust tree in this yard, and look at the boxy shape of my yard. The old man replied to the question.

"Is this a word "sleepy", the Holy Emperor left me here to trap me, and also to let me help him watch some people. This old man with the surname He and the surname Chu probably don't know that I'm opposite them, otherwise it is estimated that it will be difficult to sleep and eat. ”

"Okay, I'm old, and I hate talking the most about people who go around and around, just say it, what's the matter?"

The eldest prince immediately knelt down on one knee, and the old man was slightly stunned, but still did not turn around.

"Old General Fan, I have admired the Nine Immortals for a long time, and I hope that the old general will be fulfilled. ”

With a "click", the branch fell, and the old man said lightly: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I can't control her thoughts." ”

"But ......" the eldest prince wanted to say something, but the old man immediately intercepted his words: "But what, do you think I don't know your careful thoughts, are you really tempted by the nine girls? You are going to pull me to protect the dragon guard, and pull my Fan family to charge for you!"

The eldest prince knew that his careful thinking was seen through by the old man, so he could only grit his teeth and say: "But looking at the brothers, I only think that I can be worthy of the big position!"

The old man turned around sharply and brought out a gust of wind that almost knocked the eldest prince to the ground.

He glanced at the eldest prince, and then said lightly: "That's your Xuanyuan family's family affairs, what does it have to do with my Fan family?"

The eldest prince was a little unwilling, so he wanted to speak, but the old man squatted down, and he suddenly felt a palpitation, as if he was facing his father.

"Now that we are slowly entering the prosperous era, we do not need to kill decisive kings at this time, but need a benevolent king who is diligent and loves the people. ”

The old man's eyes narrowed, and then he stood up, and did not help the eldest prince.

"If you want to make a name for yourself in an era, you must understand what is needed in this era!"

After the old man finished speaking, he let the eldest prince kneel on one knee and walked into the house.

The somewhat gloomy butler walked to the side of the eldest prince and gave the order to evict the guests.

"Great Prince, please!"

The eldest prince was stunned in place, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "General Xie ordered!"

As he spoke, he stood up.
