Useless is a scholar (2)

Xue Pan tried his best to pry open the little maid's mouth.

He sent the best rouge, gouache and brocade in the entire city of Chang'an, but only in exchange for the cynicism and sneer of the little maidservant.

This made Xue Pan a little suspicious of life.

When did the women of Pingkang Fong not like rouge gouache and brocade?

Or is it that he has a young Xue family, and he has never understood women?

"A woman's heart, a needle under the sea!" Xue Pan shook off the wet clothes on his body, brushed his hair, and walked back with a shake of his head.

If he can't do anything else, he can tell Xu Changan directly and truthfully, and Xu Changan won't blame him anyway. But he rarely had great perseverance and interest in things.

Maybe it's because the girls have always known his identity and tried their best to stutter, and suddenly a little maid who likes to roll her eyes and say "" to him appeared, which aroused his interest and unwillingness, he Xue family is the eldest and youngest, the son of the dignified criminal department, when will it be the turn of others to reject him. Moreover, for the matter of women, if he Xue Pan admits defeat, wouldn't he laugh at all the big teeth of young adults in Chang'an City?

Xue Pan summed up the failure, learned from the pain, and planned to start all over again.

Since he didn't like rouge gouache and brocade, he just smashed the silver, and compared to those things, there was nothing in vain.

......

Sunset.

Recently, the prosperous world is peaceful, and the scholars among them don't have too much to do, so when it arrives every day, he takes off his official uniform in time and walks towards the miscellaneous room in Pingkangfang.

I don't know when, he has begun to get used to this life. During the day, it was a blur, and it was only in the evening that he felt that he had really lived.

He had already made up his mind and done that thing well, so he went to accompany Runqing.

When he was still a scholar, he felt that as long as he was admitted to the champion, there was basically nothing he couldn't solve; only after he was admitted to the champion, became a member of the prime minister's candidate class, and became a scholar who participated in state affairs, he understood a truth. In this world, there are many things that he can't do, and those things can't be solved by one or two champions.

He returned home today, changed into a white green shirt, carefully washed his face in front of the bronze mirror, and shaved the beard left over from the past.

So many years have passed before you know it?

It's not that the years are too grinding, but the years without you, even the air is ...... Bitter.

He smiled faintly at the bronze mirror, but the bright-eyed and bright-toothed young man has become like this now, not to mention himself, presumably she doesn't know, right?

He picked up the bronze mirror and fastened it on the table, and then there was a sound of the door closing, and he wore an old green shirt and walked towards Yanxing Gate.

After this time, there was a lot of suffering, and I only stayed with her.

......

Xu Changan slept beautifully in the afternoon, and when he got up, he saw Xiaobai pouting and sleeping with a buttocks.

"Meow~" An angry cry sounded, looking at Xiaobai, who was full of resentment, Xu Changan hurriedly and simply tied up his long hair and ran out of the door.

As the sun set down, he looked up, put on his long sword, identified the direction, and walked towards the Yanxing Gate.

His shoulders sank, and his eyes were still foggy, Xiao Bai lay on his shoulder, he smiled slightly, and was about to take a step, but he saw a person.

He Chu, Qin Han, the four great scholars of Chang'an. If it weren't for the defection of these four families, I really don't know how long this war would have lasted.

In exchange, the Holy Emperor also preserved their glory and wealth.

Although the people of their four families do not have high official positions, but in the entire court, half of the officials are their protégés, they are alternative fiefs as kings, although they say that there is no king, but in their former territory, a word may be more effective than the Holy Emperor.

Xu Changan looked at the man and knew that he was from the Han family.

It's just that I don't know, how could this person from the Han family come to find himself?

When the housekeeper with the mustache saw Xu Changan come out, he bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "The ancestor of the Han family invited the prince of Pingshan to go and talk about it, and he hoped that the prince would appreciate his face." ”

Xu Changan's face was gloomy, he glanced at him, and did not speak.

He wasn't worried about his own safety, he had been in Chang'an for a while, he also knew some things, if he really had something happen in the mansion of the four major families, he was afraid that the Holy Emperor would take this opportunity to directly raze the four major families. What's more, in this Chang'an City, there is the old military doctor, the grandmaster, and the Confucius Temple that has never appeared, and Xu Changan has no consideration for his own safety.

It's just that I don't know why the ancestor of the Han family has to find himself at this joint, if the head of the Han family is looking for him, he will definitely ignore it, but the ancestor of the Han family must at least be a grandmaster-level figure, if he doesn't give him face, it is really a little unreasonable.

The housekeeper of the Han family frowned when he saw Xu Changan, and immediately said: "The prince doesn't need to worry, the ancestor just heard about the merits of the prince of the Northern Barbarians, and wants to see this swordsman who contributes to the peace of the world, and he won't delay for too long." ”

Xu Changan glanced at him, and then said, "It's best not to delay for too long." ”

......

Out of Yanxing Gate, go forward to Sanli, there is a small stream, this is Sanli Creek.

Sanli Creek, the name sounds good at first glance, but it is actually a small stream far away from Chang'an Sanli.

Every March and April, the peach blossoms are all over the sky, and the falling flowers are colorful, as if the beauty is smiling.

Now that the month is right, the peach blossoms are still the same.

The ruined temple next to it has a lot of greenery, and the original red bricks and green tiles are now covered with moss, covering their original dilapidated and gray nature.

He sighed softly and walked into the ruined temple with his feet raised.

When he entered the broken temple, he was suddenly stunned, and the cold light of the long knife in the black-clothed man's hand pierced his eyes.

This powerless Zhongshushe naturally knew why these people came to find him, he didn't think much about it, and ran towards the stream with all the strength of his life.

He doesn't want to die now, he still has a lot to do......

The ancestor of the Han family was dressed as a businessman, like an ordinary old man, and he didn't have anything important, just casually praised Xu Changan for a few words as a young hero, and Lala let Xu Changan come out, but there was a trace of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Xiaobai.

Xu Changan came to Han's house inexplicably and came out inexplicably. When I looked up, the sky was dotted with stars.

He bought a jug of wine and hurried out of the city, feeling suddenly uneasy.

He saw the small ruined temple, empty, except for a lot of messy footprints on the ground.

Xu Changan was frightened, and ran towards the river, he saw some figures by the river from a distance, and he was about to go over to ask, the group of people was like frightened birds, fleeting.

When I arrived at the river, there was a sound of rushing water, and a person came out of the river.

His face was pale, and in this early spring, Lu Ziang was so frozen by the river that his teeth trembled.

He got out of the water and looked at Xu Changan.

There was no doubt, no misunderstanding, he saw the anxiety in Xu Changan's eyes.

"Han family?" Xu Changan tried to ask.

Lu Ziang nodded.

The two returned to the broken temple, Xu Changan remembered the fire, but was interrupted by Lu Ziang waving his hand, he pointed to the wine brought by Xu Changan and smiled: "Drink wine to keep out the cold!"

Lu Ziang took a sip and smacked his lips before saying, "After all, I'm sorry for her!"
