The middle capital city.

Zhuang Yu and the others settled down with peace of mind, and they were treated especially well by the national teacher, so they naturally felt like a fish in water.

The young man has been pondering yesterday's sword trick, in the end there is still some disbelief, although the left hand is easier to use, but it is too smooth, the muscles and veins in the body seem to be insensitive, and they come out instantly, and they actually destroyed a picture scroll of the scholar.

Especially the golden wire of sword qi is very clueless, people can't figure it out, and I didn't hold that long sword fourteen, where did the sword qi gold wire come from? It's very strange......

The long sword is also general, with the blessing of the water law, the first time the landscape is revealed, the majestic sword body, with the spiritual power poured into, it is as heavy as ten thousand gold for a while, and it is fortunate to hold the imitation seal, otherwise how to swing the sword out of thin air?

Xia Dongliu is the same, he is very palpitating at this inexplicable sword.

What the scholar said, the young man really didn't have a few good things, a robe that didn't know how to follow, draped on his body at will, and he couldn't use it, two long swords. It's not as natural as a little girl's imitation print.

In the past few days, I have been crowded with scholars, discussing spells when I have time, always in order to get a plan to refine martial arts.

Ai Xueyi shook his head, it can't be so, it's just that the realm cultivation is still lower, how can the magic make it unfathomable?

As far as the Dragon Tiger Mountain Thunder Method is concerned, you have a doorway, and your cultivation is insufficient, and it is not enough.

Zhuang Yu was a little helpless, why was he poor!

Only I don't know that I still have some treasures on my body, and the third picture scroll from Divine Sword Peak has not yet been opened.

Zhuang Yu did not stay in the capital for long, after staying for dozens of days.

I'm going to get up.

During this period, the national teacher Zhang Juzheng personally made the east, invited Zhuang Yu and a few people, and talked all night, all of which were exchanges on the general trend of the world.

Zhuang Yuzhi is also unrestrained, what to say, and bluntly. Xia Dongliu, who usually has a lot of things to do, is quieter, and the young man talks about officialdom, and the young man always listens carefully, which is a little strange.

Before leaving, a good gathering is indispensable.

As an official scholar, he naturally has a court servant, or a group of people, so much so that Zhuang Yu is a little embarrassed, he didn't spend a penny, including the fan money, which was all from Zhang Juzheng.

It is rare for scholars to drink some alcohol, and they have always been encouraged by Zhang Juzheng for half a year after joining the government, but they also began to drink some.

Zhuang Yu is very generous, and directly took out a day of blessed land of a hundred flowers brewed, the year is very full, it is really a special gift from the orchid lady, except for Xia Dongliu, in fact, a few people on the table are not very good at drinking.

On the contrary, this jar of wine has made a personal favor deal, and for elderly people like Zhang Juzheng and Zuo Qiu Ming, it is like a spiritual spring medicine, which has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones, and prolonging life is still there, and they are a little reluctant for a while.

Zhang Juzheng said, "Cao Xiaoyou, it's a pity that such a precious wine has entered the stomachs of ordinary people like us." ”

Zhuang Yu smiled, "The wine is used to drink, there is no general, if you can help the national teacher Shangshu and strengthen the muscles and bones, then this wine will not be drunk in vain, otherwise, I can't drink it in my stomach...... Limited amount of alcohol ......"

"You're polite......"

The scholar smiled, "My friend, the amount of wine is too small, and the osmanthus wine I brewed before can be drunk, and I don't have much recognition of wine." ”

Zhuang Yu nodded, and took out the pot of wine from Changyou, it was really the pot of osmanthus wine made by himself, not much, the young man was reluctant to drink, and he always encountered something when he went back, or he was homesick, so he was not allowed to take a sip of it.

"Look...... And there are. ”

The young man smiled heartily, slightly drunk.

The scholar was also in a good mood, and he also took out the pot he brought.

"Mine is also there, I didn't have a chance to drink it. ”

At the same time, he held an ordinary jade plaque in his hand, engraved with the words "love and learning".

Zhuang Yu smiled, he had already seen it in his eyes, and when he saw the scholar from the first time, he fell on the jade plate on the waist of the official uniform at a glance.

It's not bad, it's still there!

"I don't know what happened to Chen Bai'an......"

The scholar squinted, "Oh, can't you miss her? In the past, in the private school, you didn't argue with her less, so you can stop her." ”

The little girl also stopped, sometimes she didn't see Sister Chen for a while, and now her brother has a "sister......

Zhuang Yu shook his head, "She's so powerful, who can bully her? And Jiang Man Wenjun doesn't know what's going on now? Those two are very rich in the family......

The scholar shook the new folding fan in his hand, "...... will meet."

Zhuang Yu nodded, "Okay......"

It's just that when the four of them get together again, the vicissitudes of life are all over the place.

"This jar of wine, you collect it for the national teacher, don't drink too much, at most one small sip a day, it's enough ......"

Ai Xueyi nodded.

Zhang Juzheng's mind was clear, and the more he felt that this young man was not bad, his mood was like spring, and he dared to act, and he was relieved a lot for a while.

Gotta go out for a walk...... It rusted in the palace for a long time.

"Xueyi, you should be a good official, you must be a good official, a clean official. ”

"This is natural, the clean officials are naturally appropriate, and it is difficult to say good officials......"

Zhuang Yu knew what the scholar thought, and when he entered the official career, he realized that the temple was criticized and his ambitions were hopeless......

Zhang Juzheng glanced at Xinke Tanhua and sighed, just like his own youth, disappointed in the entire imperial court...... Even if the position is not bad.

Longtu Pavilion Bachelor, in charge of the imperial book, imperial anthology, classics.

Since he has made great achievements, to put it bluntly, now Zhuang Yu's poems are all through his hands, and after verification, they are recorded in historical books and literary classics one by one for future generations.

And the right to fill the official position, the consultation and suggestions are very medium, but now the imperial court is too difficult, and it is difficult to move an inch.

According to the scholar's own words, Great Xia will perish sooner or later.

Ai Xueyi has read through the history books, and he is more grateful for the obscure history than Zhuang Yu, in fact, every official with a very high official position, who doesn't know?

Even the two people who just won the top spot, one is an ordinary human learner, who climbs step by step, but with good intentions.

And the champion of the new department, like the scholar, is a disciple of an immortal sect from Jiangnan Shuifu, and he also has not experienced officialdom and entered the red dust to refine his heart.

Zhuang Yu took a sip of osmanthus wine, "The blessed land of Longhu Mountain is about to open, you don't plan to go to ......"

The young man naturally didn't believe in the scholar, and he didn't know such a big event of the immortal family.

Ai Xueyi shook his head, "Forget it, I'm a scholar, a real reader, so I'm not going to join in the fun...... Serious smelting, in the future, I will meet the township, and there will be a better ......"

The scholar wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't dare to speak, Ai Xueyi from the ancient Shu land was very difficult! He was a registered disciple of the Confucian and Taoist Palace.

It's just that I don't know if I have the title of Tanhua now that I am expected to be orthodox.

"That's okay, I still have to go and see how the rivers and lakes are elsewhere, find some opportunities, who made my magic too bad now......"

The scholar shook his head, Zhuang Yu's technique was not bad.

After all, there is still swordsmanship.

"Be more careful about everything, now it's you who is worried, Xiao Ke is fine, now don't talk about demons and monsters to avoid, even Jiaolong can't avoid it......"

The young man looked at the little girl, "Yes, this girl is very lucky." ”

If there is really something going on there, there is her, and there is not much to do.

The little girl blushed.

That's it, whoever let his brother get drunk, don't blame him......

"By the way, I've got some stuff here. ”

Zhuang Yu took out those wine cups again, which were very beautiful.

The whole body is glazed, shining, and the wine is indeed mellow and fragrant.

Xia Dongliu was envious.

"Good thing, but it's been a few years, it's worth a lot of money. The scholar looked at it.

"That's natural, take it out and give it to you, he will give it to Mr. ”

Four wine cups, very beautiful.

The scholar asked, "Where's the flask?"

Zhuang Yu was embarrassed for a while, "That pot is a little weird, there is wine in it, and I can't finish it, the wine is very strong......"

Slowly swishing out the wine jug, the whole body of Danqing holy depiction, very elegant.

After the scholar took it, he looked at it carefully.

"Good stuff...... It's a small pond for all the drinks, and it's very expensive...... This is of great benefit to the monks, as it widens the veins and warms the natal acupoints. ”

Zhuang Yu naturally knew.

"This is very useful for you, especially when you practice swords, you eat the root bones, take a sip every day in the future, sleep peacefully, warm and nourish the acupoints and tendons, and find a few good swords in the future, refining them one by one, with this wine, it is really a sword to raise people." ”

Xia Dongliu felt uncomfortable the more he heard it, but he knew that the young man also had a pair of eating utensils, which was very beautiful.

Two green jade bamboo leaf bowls, two pairs of purple bamboo chopsticks. It's simple, it's extravagant, and it's better than what the emperor used well.

Now that she has become a little girl eating guy, the other Zhuang Yu has already planned, and there is no doubt that it is for Li Shuyun.

"Good swords, how can there be so many good swords!" Zhuang Yu disliked.

The scholar smiled, "There are many good swords in the world, not to mention the eight great immortal swords, there are countless kings on the top of the mountain, do you think there are fewer immortals who use swords in this world? ”

Zhuang Yu shook his head, "Immortal Sword, don't count on it! As for the Wang Sword, what the sages hold is also very tight. ”

"You don't have to be presumptuous, practice hard, the realm is enough, take a trip to the ancient battlefield, and fish for oil and water. ”

"Too far!"

Scholars don't have a way, don't practice, and think about a good sword.

"Your sword is too fit, it's not suitable for you, it's too bulky, you have strong blood, but after all, your strength is insufficient, this sword is suitable for Chen Bai'an!"

Zhuang Yu smiled, "I'm already poor, and you still let me give it to someone else......"

"This is true, this sword is suitable for martial artists. And Mr. This long sword, since you have taken it, pay more attention when you enter Jingzhou. ”

If you hold this sword, you will hold the entire rivers and lakes.

The fourteenth long sword, there are many strange things, the sword of the current king of the blessed land of Longhu Mountain, a broken sword, Li Jingsheng grabbed the sword, and injured four people in a row.

The grievances of the rivers and lakes are here.

"I have my own plans, not to mention that those people are extremely evil, and Mr. has never hurt his life, he has lost his arm and head, just put it on, and he can't die!"

Ai Xueyi was speechless for a while, he didn't want money to save face?

"Mind you, those people are all bad old men from the 100-year-old age...... No matter how bad it is, the cultivation realm has also passed the middle five realms. ”

Zhuang Yu shook his head, his face turned red, and with the strength ......of wine, "Bully the small with the big?

The scholar was shocked, it seems that the young man is still different from before, at least not as before, he does not dare to do anything, and thinks about others.

Now it seems that the salute is the first and then the soldiers, and then the sword.

The reason doesn't make sense, and the sword comes to make up.

"It's great that you can think like that. ”

Zhuang Yu said, "Don't worry...... I still have to go to the nine blessed lands of Longhu Mountain to earn a chance, and I can't die. ”

After that, he fell asleep and fainted.

The next day, Zhuang Yu dispelled the idea and stayed for one more day, just to fill in the daily necessities.

Xia Dongliu was particularly sad about the young man, in order to ask for some special drinks.

After listening to the scholar's words, the young man naturally had to ask for some, and now the muscles and veins in Long Qianyue's body need to be broadened and warmed, but he can't be sloppy.

"Two white water dollars. ”

Xia Dongliu was taken aback, "Do you still want money?"

"If you want it, it's not expensive...... You are still secretly blackmailing Xiao Ke behind your back, do you think I don't know?"

Xia Dongliu's face darkened, presumably he was sued by the little girl again, reversing right and wrong, "two coins and two pots ......"

Zhuang Yu said, "Heh...... Could it be that this is really worthless? You Xia Dong spent three or four fairy money on the bamboo horse for three months, and now you can't bear to have two? Or do you have no dragon girl in your heart at all?"

Xia Dongliu was speechless, can this be the same?

"That's it, then two pots. ”

"That's what business ...... about"

Zhuang Yu gave the young man two pots, and then gave a pot for the woman and a pot for the scholar, which were used by the cultivators.

It is best to warm and nourish blood, qi, tendons and veins.

The young man took advantage of the time to go to the market to buy some rice, oil and salt, after all, he still had a small mouth, waiting to be fed, and he was hungry.

The little girl stayed in the house and accompanied the scholar.

Xia Dongliu naturally went out of the city with Zhuang Yu.

"I didn't expect Brother Cao, I'm in such a hurry to go, I haven't fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, there is the drunk red dust in front of me, go sit down?"

Zhuang Yu shook his head.

"Don't be so old-fashioned, the girl in it sings a good song, and it's a big pity in life if you don't go......"

The young man stopped, itching in his heart, the capital of Nuoda, not to take a look, it's not good......

"Then go in and listen for a while?"

Xia Dongliu patted his chest, "Naturally, I'll do the east, taste good wine and food, and listen to the music......"

The two of them stepped into the drunken red dust of thousands of purples and thousands of reds, full of splendor, singing and dancing, all red satin, fragrant, delicate female beauty, singing tactfully and sadly.

Xia Dongliu was not taken care of by the little servant, so he went up to the second floor and found a spacious room.

"Brother Cao, come here to this drunken red dust, you can't make the girls sad, this is a real woman in the world, you can touch it, but it's not like the real and fake phantom body of the flower fairy......"

Zhuang Yu blushed for a while.

Before the young man could speak, several bewitching women in light gauze clothes waited for him.

"Aren't you listening to music......"

"Don't worry, it's coming! This drunken red dust song is only one person and one unique, only the green lotus girl is the most moving......"

Zhuang Yu didn't know why.

Xia Dongliu came over and said softly, "This green lotus girl has a strong temperament, she only sells songs, she is still a big girl with yellow flowers, she is beautiful, I don't know if Brother Cao has a chance to be the guest of the curtain today." ”

The boy coughed a few times, "I'm here to listen to the music." ”

Xia Dongliu laughed dryly.

A woman in green, dressed in green, like a lotus flower, with willow eyebrows, cherry mouth, and a pipa in her arms, walked in front of the two of them, and gave Wan Anfu.

"Green lotus, long time no see......"

"Green Lotus, I've seen Xia Gongzi. ”

"No need to do this, come and play a song, my friend has come to listen to the song......"

Green Lotus gave a salute, "I don't know Childe, I want to listen to those tunes." ”

Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment, and didn't know anything, "The girl is casual, the best is good." ”

"The green lotus is ugly......"

The green lotus sat down in the distance, held the pipa in his arms, and gently plucked the strings.

A sad and complaining pipa sound came slowly, which was really Green Lotus's favorite song.

"Green Lotus, who told you to play this song again......? Guest...... ...... all."

The old bustard glanced at Xia Dongliu, so he hurriedly shut up and stood aside and waited carefully.

Zhuang Yu listened carefully, and his heart was not good.

There is no doubt that Lu He is a hard-working girl, at a young age, she was sold to the Qinglou by her family and exchanged for money, but she has a strong temperament, is unwilling to fate, and relies on music to support her family.

The sound of the pipa was tactful and silent, and for a while, the whole drunken Hongchen quieted down, all for the unfair fate of this woman.

When she was a child, she suffered hardships, and when she grew up, she still lived uncomfortably, she longed for freedom, and longed to get out of this drunken red dust to see.

But no one knew.

There were also people who offered money to ransom her and promised her freedom, but she refused all of them, and she was waiting for someone who could understand his pipa language.

She lacks a confidant, and there is no shortage of people who understand her tunes.

After a pillar of incense

The sound of the pipa stopped abruptly, and it was instantly forgotten in this drunken red dust, and it was still lively Xuantian.

Green Lotus sat quietly, waiting for the new son, to remark, or to ask for another tune.

Zhuang Yu looked at the sad woman, how can there be joy in life.

"The same is the end of the world, why should we have known each other. If that's the case, why don't you put your mind down and go for a walk?"

Green Lotus was startled, got up, and the autumn waves were tactful.

muttered in a low voice, "We are both fallen people at the end of the world, why should we have known each other when we meet." ”

The strings suppressed their voices and thoughts, as if they were complaining that they were not willing to live in their lives, and continued to write with low eyebrows, saying that there were infinite things in their hearts.

Zhuang Yu said again, "You and I are both miserable people, why do you bow to fate? ”

"This year's laughter will return to next year, the autumn moon and spring breeze and so on. Such a worthy girl and beauty. ”

Green lotus tears flickering, how many years she waited, she can't remember, from the moment she got drunk in the red dust, day after day singing, now unconsciously passed the year of flowers, and finally met a person who spoke like this to her, encouraging her to go out......

The green lotus who got up smiled and the world was discolored.

For the first time in 10 years, there is a smile.

"Childe, would you like to take the green lotus away......"

Zhuang Yu was startled, hurriedly got up, and looked at Xia Dongliu, who was watching the play.

"Don't worry, Childe, Green Lotus has always only sold songs......"

The boy hurriedly said, "The girl misunderstood...... There's still a long way to go...... Why should the girl be like this, the world is so big, she can also go out for a walk......"

"If the girl is short of money, you can rest assured, as long as the girl wants to go, she will boldly go out today...... This drunk red dust has no one to stop you. ”

Green Lotus smiled and looked at her black-faced mother.

"Childe is willing to stay, Green Lotus still has a lot of songs for Childe to listen to......"

Zhuang Yu shook his head.

Xia Dongliu said, "Green Lotus girl doesn't have to be like this, you and I are old acquaintances, and my friend is about to travel far ......away."

"Green Lotus thanked the son, and today the little woman should wake up. ”
