In the center of Yizhou City, there are the top forces of Yizhou Mansion, Yizhou School Palace and the Four Great Families, and the building is luxurious and grand. But the city is very large, and ordinary people live in the outlying areas of the city.

But it's also bustling with traffic, with a lot of people, and it's no less bustling than the city center. After all, the rich have the joys and sorrows of the rich, and the poor have the joys and sorrows of the poor. as well as life.

There are countless alleys and alleys here, which are a little dazzling, and you may even get lost. And the building is more simple and ancient than the luxurious location in the center of the city.

Among them, there is a very famous and interesting alley, called Huangni Lane, which is the most ancient. Even many of the houses are dilapidated, but they still can't hide their appeal.

Mu Li and Chu Chu liked to come here the most when they were children.

The alley is very long, not wide, but not narrow, the two are people's courtyards, taverns and shops, and there are still many ordinary people wandering around.

It seems to be going to stretch out of the city all the time.

Due to the rain for these two days, the ground was very wet, there was a lot of mud, and you could even smell that unique smell of wet earth. It does not lose its name of Yellow Mud Lane.

Luckily, the sun was shining today.

Mu Li walked straight with his second daughter for more than an hour, and he was familiar with the road. Then I arrived at the mouth of the alley, there is a large and ancient wooden gate, engraved with three characters, it is - Huangni Lane.

"Huangni Alley..."Qing He was a little curious, staring at the name of the alley and whispering, looking at Mu Li for some reason.

Walking into the alley, it is inevitable to step on some yellow mud on your feet, a very unique atmosphere comes to your face, obviously, this is an extremely old and old alley, you can feel the heavy historical pressure when you step into it.

The alleys were filled with ordinary people, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, men, women and children.

The long alley is hard to see through, and the shops and taverns on the two roads are very noisy and lively, and there are many small stalls selling all kinds of things.

The three of them walked down the street, all relaxed, looking around at the novelties. In particular, Qinghe was the most curious, his eyes kept wandering, and he was full of curiosity about this alley.

"Let's go have some tea first. Mu Lidao, a little nostalgic, since last year, he has not been to Huangni Lane. Now I have changed a lot, but this alley is the same as always.

Not long after, I came to a teahouse on the side of the road, the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in coarse cloth, very honest, smiled and brought a pot of tea, put it on the wooden table, and said: "Objective and slow use." ”

"Taste it. Mu Li held a cup of tea in his hand, overflowing with a trace of heat, the fragrance could be smelled, he took a sip, and the other hand gestured to Qinghe. As for Chu Chu, he had already drunk it.

Qinghe also poured a cup and tasted it. "The style of this place is very different from the center of the city. She still looked a little surprised.

Although Yizhou City is very large, comparable to the largest city in Xianmen, there are different styles within a city.

"What's the difference?" Mu Li asked with a smile.

"It feels different, everyone here is simple and old. The inhabitants are also very ordinary. ”

"It's the most basic, and when you walk through the alley, you'll feel it more deeply. The shepherd replied.

"Oh?" Qing He was very interested, and his slender fingers held the ceramic teacup, which was carved with some patterns. It's not exquisite, but it's beautiful, and it fits the scene.

"I don't know what happened to those old friends. Mu Li said to Chu Chu.

"Ha, I miss that big yellow dog too. Chu Chu also smiled, and then said, "Childe, let's go see the old drunkard later." ”

"Hmm. Mu Li nodded.

"An old drunkard again?" Qing He asked in surprise, maybe because of her bad old man's master, Qing He didn't have a good impression of the old drunkard.

"The old drunkard is a man with a story. Mu Lidao, this is not false at all, he admired it very much when he was a child.

Just as they were chatting, the voices of two middle-aged people at the table next to them came.

"Lao Ye, my son has been studying poetry and books for decades, but he didn't get a good score in the literary examination this year. A middle-aged man sighed.

The middle-aged man sitting next to him could only smile when he heard this.

Although this middle-aged man surnamed Ye is also a cloth shirt, his bearing is quite extraordinary, and he has a strong bookish anger all over his body, and he knows that he is a scholar at a glance.

"It's you Lao Ye, I heard that your son Zhizhou has good grades this year, I don't know if you can get the top three. The middle-aged man who spoke said again, his eyes slightly envious.

"I don't know, after all, the Yizhou government hasn't announced the top three in the literary examination. The man surnamed Ye said.

Mu Li and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, these two middle-aged people were actually discussing their son's literary examination results, and it could be seen that they had great hopes for their juniors.

After all, it is difficult for these ordinary people like those in Huangni Lane to become martial artists, and it requires very harsh conditions, so many people take reading very seriously, and it is a way out to change their own and even their family's future fate.

Hard work pays off.

The imperial court will not treat every scholar who studies hard.

At this time, they saw a young girl walking towards here, her face was too beautiful and beautiful, although it was a coarse cloth dress, but that kind of beautiful temperament, like a lady.

The girl was born very beautiful, the mountain ghost was speechless to describe, she came in steps, and she was also angry slowly, and at a glance she knew that she was a scholar, and finally walked to the table next to the three of them.

Then he said to the middle-aged man surnamed Ye: "Father, mother asked me to ask you to eat." The girl's voice is very crisp and moving. It's very pleasant to listen to.

"Isn't this Ye Tianxian of the Academy of Literature?" Chu Chu seemed to recognize the girl and exclaimed.

Mu Li was stunned for a moment, and reacted, this girl in front of her is no wonder so beautiful and beautiful! It turned out to be Ye Tianxian, one of the two beauties of the Academy of Literature! One of the four beauties of the Academy of Learning.

I didn't expect them to meet Ye Tianxian here today! Her home is actually in Huangni Lane!

In this way, it is not easy for Ye Tianxian's father to support his second daughter to study.

Maybe it was because Chu Chu's voice was a little loud, and she was shocked by the girl, her clear gaze came over, and the three of them were quite embarrassed for a while.

At this time, the middle-aged man surnamed Ye also looked over, and suddenly asked them: "The three are also scholars of the Yizhou Academy of Literature?"

Since he knew his daughter Ye Tianxian, she must be a student of the Academy of Literature.

Mu Li spoke after a moment: "In the lower Mu Li." ”

Hearing this, Rao is Ye Tianxian's calm expression was quite surprised, the name of Mu Li had already spread all over Yizhou City and even the land of Yizhou, but she was dedicated to reading, reading in the library of the Academy of Literature all day long, and she had never seen her true face.

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him was the famous son Muli!

"It turned out to be the son of the Mu family, who has admired the name for a long time, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today. Ye Qian, who is doing nothing in the next place, is the father of the immortals. The middle-aged man surnamed Ye was slightly surprised. At the same time, introduce their names to them.

Even the man beside him looked at the boy with surprise and a lot of eyes.

"Uncle Ye can teach such a daughter, which is also admirable. Mu Li pointed at Ye Tianxian and responded. This Ye Qian is similar in age to his father, and he has the right to call him an uncle.

"Haha, Mu Gongzi laughed, how dare Ye Qian let Gongzi City only be for his uncle. Ye Qian hurriedly spoke. This is the son of the Mu family of the four major families in Yizhou City, and his status is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Ye Tianxian, on the other hand, didn't speak, just stood there and watched the young man talk to her father.

"It's okay, the age is here, be the last uncle. "Shepherd's departure.

"Haha, the shepherd is humble and polite, if he is really a young genius, today's acquaintance is also fate, the food in the cold house is just cooked, why don't you go and eat a bowl of noodles?" Ye Qian invited.

This sentence amused the two daughters beside Mu Li, and he couldn't help laughing.

Even Ye Tianxian was quite embarrassed, how could the son of the Mu clan send you this bowl of noodles! But since she had already said it, she could only help her father relieve the embarrassment. Slightly shyly spoke: "If the shepherd doesn't dislike it, please move to the humble house and eat a bowl of noodles." ”

In this way, it will be difficult for the pastoral separation! Yes and no. He looked at the second daughter, only to see a hint of cunning flashing in Chu Chu Qinghe's eyes, and he didn't say much.

"In that case, thank you over there!" Mu Li responded stiffly, but the second daughter was stunned, but he didn't expect to really agree!

"Haha, the shepherd boy is a cheerful person, please!" Ye Qian got up and raised his hand to invite, and at the same time said, "Lao Li, you can go with me, my brothers and sisters really have a drink today." ”

Lao Li didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Yes, Uncle Li. Ye Tianxian spoke again.

So, a few people paid a few copper coins for tea and went to the Ye family's residence for dinner. On the way, Chu Chu Qinghe has already left the pastor, which is really embarrassing. Therefore, it was convenient for Ye Qian's father and daughter to chat.

The Ye family's house is not beaten, the yard is very small, almost inferior to a courtyard in the pastoral house, but it is very warm, the family is very eager, entertained the three of Muli and Lao Li, and the cooking is also good, very delicious.

During this period, Mu Li also saw a young man two years older than him, dressed in white plain clothes, who was studying, learning the teachings of sages, and when he saw a visitor, he also stopped to help greet him.

The young man is delicate, his temperament is similar to Ye Qianxian, and his scholarly anger is even worse, he is actually a third-grade scribe! He is Ye Qianxian's brother, Ye Qian's son with high hopes, Ye Zhizhou.

He is also a student of the Faculty of Letters.

During a meal, Mu Li inexplicably met Ye Zhizhou and Ye Tianxian, and talked very happily with Ye Zhizhou, the young man read poetry and literature, talked about the past and the present with Mu Li, and even forgot to eat, and called each other "Brother Mu" and "Brother Ye".

Mu Li could feel Ye Zhizhou's lofty ambitions from the exchange! He sighed in his heart, although the Ye family is a poor family, these two daughters are extraordinary, and they can be called dragons and phoenixes among people!

"Brother Mu is really full of wealth, and when I see it today, I admire it very much. It's really famous!" Ye Zhizhou sighed happily, took out two taels of wine, and invited Mu Li to have a drink.

In this regard, his parents and Ye Tianxian both smiled, and Ye Tianxian entertained Chu Chu and Qinghe and talked with them. After all, there is something to say among young people, and Ye Qian is an adult, but it is difficult to say. So I drank and chatted with Lao Li.

For a while, the Ye family's courtyard was very lively.

After three rounds of drinking, Mu Li and the three of them left the Ye family, and when they left the courtyard, Mu Li said to the Ye family: "Thank you Uncle Ye and his family for their hospitality today!

"Haha, Brother Shepherd is unfamiliar!" Ye Zhizhou responded.

"Haha, Brother Ye, we will meet again another day, and we will definitely compete with you!" Mu Li smiled, he met Ye Zhizhou, and he actually had the same feeling as Mo Yao's trip to southern Xinjiang that day. I hate to see each other late.

These two people are both talented people who have read poetry and books, and their literary level is even higher than their own. Just like Ye Zhizhou, he is already a third-grade scribe. But it's the most suitable for his temperament.

Mu Li feels that Ye Zhizhou's literary examination results this year are very likely to enter the three realms!

"Definitely!" Ye Zhizhou nodded in response, and Ye Tianxian also smiled and beckoned to the three of them. She has almost no friends, and all three of them can be friends.

Then they walked out into the alley, all smiling. I didn't expect to come here to go to someone else's house for dinner first!
