Useless is a scholar (1)

Recently, Xue Pan has felt more and more that he has drifted away from the word "gentleman".

Every morning, they waited for Xu Chang'an to finish his cultivation before they arrived at the Shizi Mansion slowly, the hour was not too early, but it was indeed a bit annoying to have to come every day, just like the previous enlightenment teaching.

But there is something to do when they learn, and there is nothing they can do when they get to the Shizi Mansion.

Originally, it was to make the prince a big gentleman, but the two of them succeeded in turning the prince into a leisurely little shopkeeper.

Xue Pan is okay, after all, his eldest brother was Xie Tiannan before, and he didn't bother to do those things that bullied men and women, but Chen Tianhua was uncomfortable, He Jinghuai was a little bully, he was naturally not weak, although he couldn't do anything big and evil, but he was an expert in simple things like bullying men and women.

Life nowadays is plain and simple.

Xu Chang'an casually walked around the Fang City in the afternoon, and he was very familiar with the East and West Fang Cities on both sides of the Chang'an Imperial City, even more familiar than Pingkangfang, where his industry was located.

The east and west markets are very lively, and the two markets are an important source of daily life needs of the people of Chang'an.

Xu Changan was very fond of these two places, the shouts of the hawkers on the clean and tidy streets, the loud arguments between customers and merchants over a few copper plates, and the occasional Jianghu entertainer.

All of this was familiar to him.

Every time they heard that new goods from the east and west cities had entered the market, Xu Changan and the old military doctor rushed to Xue Pan and Chen Tianhua as soon as they finished their cultivation.

The two of them once thought that their little son had finally opened his mind, and it must be that Jinwu was hiding in the east and west cities.

When Xu Changan took them every time they saw a good-looking rouge gouache or a long skirt with fine workmanship, he would always buy these things without hesitation when he thought of the black girl with a dark face in Shushan. But after the sale, he felt guilty again, he remembered the purple clothes, and remembered the hug before parting. But he didn't know what to do for that girl, or what she lacked, and every time he thought of it, he would hurry up and cultivate when he went back at night.

These two people are more and more sure that this prince of Pingshan must be a beautiful woman, I don't know which girl is so lucky?

It's just that the two of them inquired about it, but they couldn't inquire.

After a while, maybe the girl's belongings were all over, Xu Changan began to purchase good wine, and he didn't care if the price was several times higher, anyway, the two younger brothers would rush to pay.

Xue Pan and Chen Tianhua naturally had to rush to give the silver, and the things they sold to the girl had to be paid out of their own pockets to show their hearts. Buy the wine for the old man, and that's when it's time for them to behave.

Xu Changan didn't know what these two people thought, otherwise, he would definitely reward them with two feet.

The lame man who returned to Shushan fortunately didn't know about his thoughts, otherwise he would have broken his dog's leg again.

"Ahh The corners of his mouth pulled casually: "I heard that Xu Xiaozi became the prince of Pingshan, and the old man of the Holy Emperor has a little conscience." I don't know if this stinky boy will help Lao Tzu find some good wine, otherwise Lao Tzu will break his dog's leg next time he sees him. Thinking about it, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

He limped to his feet, slowly lifted the door panel of the library, and prepared to close the door to rest.

"I don't know if the stinky boy will bully him when he arrives in Chang'an?" A sigh came from the library.

......

Xu Changan didn't know what the benefits of this wine were before, but when he sat alone in the empty mansion, he realized that the wine was thick before he knew that he was worried!

He also gradually learned to drink, and at sunset, on the roof, a pot of wine, that was his most comfortable moment.

The scholar named Lu Ziang also went to the utility room to drink every day, and when he saw Xu Changan on the roof, the haggard scholar would also pick up the wine glass and have a drink with Xu Changan in the air.

The drinker understands the heart of the drinker, looking at Lu Ziang, who is becoming more and more haggard and full of scum, he can feel that he is much more worried than himself.

He also slowly developed a strong interest in this person named Lu Ziang.

So, he asked Xue Pan to inquire.

Xue Pan is much more stable than Chen Tianhua, maybe he is different from the people he does, so he has a different way of doing things.

If you let the little fat man Chen Tianhua go to investigate, I am afraid that he will hold a knife on someone else's neck and yell at others: "Quick, tell Lao Tzu your story." ”

Xue Pan is already like a crown of jade, if he is not by Xu Changan's side, he still has a sense of elegance, the folding fan is slightly shaken, and his demeanor is graceful.

Since this Lu Ziang came to drink in this Huanxi Building, then someone must have seen him.

He used his peach blossom eyes to ask all over Huanxilou, only to get some innocuous news, and he also dyed himself in a commotion.

Those girls were naturally overjoyed when they saw the little shopkeeper winking at them, but they knew Xue Pan's identity, and they naturally knew everything when they saw the little shopkeeper's flattering eyes.

Xue Pan has a headache these days, although he also liked to come to Pingkangfang before, but now every day those girls are attentive to him and jealous, he is a little afraid.

However, he noticed a little maidservant.

A little maid who has a straight face all day long and is not popular with anyone.

Xue Pan looked at this little maid, her eyes lit up, and she followed with a blank eye.

He looked at it with the peach blossom eyes he thought it was, and it turned out to be a basin of cold water.

"Get out, don't go around asking about that bad guy!"

Xue Pan's eyes lit up, and he knew that there was a play, so he immediately followed, stalking him.

"Eh, you tell me, I'll make you an old bustard!"

"Get out!" came a roar, and another basin of water was poured on him.

......

On the roof, a bright moon was big and round, and a few birds on the trees on both sides of the street were startled from time to time.

Xu Chang sat quietly on the roof, holding a long sword, and a jar of wine was placed beside him.

He watched a drunken figure stumble out, stood up, and said aloud while he was drinking: "I have wine, do you have a story?"

The scholar who had written all the edicts during the day and participated in the great affairs of the common people suddenly raised his head and looked at the figure on the roof.

He naturally knew that this prince who picked the prince on the halberd, and also knew that the prince who almost died for peace, looking at the fluttering figure in the moonlight, he finally spoke.

"Tomorrow and sunset, if the prince is willing, then go to the Sanlixi Temple outside the city to listen to a story, the story of a useless scholar. ”

Xu Changan lifted the pot, took a big sip, and then threw it, and the wine pot stopped steadily in front of Lu Ziang.

The vicissitudes of life were stunned, picked up the wine jug, and took a big sip, after drinking, he slammed the wine jar on the ground, wiped his lips with his cuffs, and strode out of the door.

"It's useless, it's a scholar!" a long sigh came from outside the door.

The scholar didn't go far directly, he hid outside the door and glanced at Xu Changan's red sword enviously.

"If I could fight with the sword, no one would dare to bully us. ”

"Did you say?"

"Runqing. ”

Lu Ziang whispered softly.
