Ge Fuzi once said that the capital is so big, even if it takes a year to rely on Jian Shuzhi and Xiaopang's foot strength, they can only go around the inner city, let alone the outer city. The stars and moons in the four districts of the outer city surround the imperial city. Changping Street is close to the Imperial City, located in Nancheng District, and almost all the people living in the whole street are dignitaries.

The Lifang Courtyard in the south of the city is not close to Changping Street, it is not far away, and it is also a fool's dream to walk over with just feet.

Fortunately, there was still the little fat man of the God of Wealth, so they found a carriage, hired a coachman, and went to the plough yard.

When the groom heard that the three of them had asked to plow the courtyard, he had a strange look on his face. The little fat man was unhappy on the side, "This is a lot of silver for nothing, and you don't want to earn it?"

The groom flicked his horsewhip and said, "Guest, sit tight." Who can't get along with silver these days? The horse's hooves clattered, and the wheels creaked and rolled.

Jian Shuzhi sat in the car and asked the fat man, where did he get so many silver taels, Ge Fuzi should not be so generous, and he would let him be in charge of so much money. The fat man said mysteriously: "Contemptible people have a way to make money. ”

Song Qixian couldn't stand it anymore, and exposed the fat man's old bottom. "On the way to Beijing, it was very boring and boring, and I had to find some fun to relieve my boredom. You and Gao Fengxiang often go out to explore the road together, so you don't know it. This little fat man is so bad, it is precisely because of this that he often asks me and Lin Shixian to guess the outcome of the game between the two stinky chess baskets. The premise is to have a color head, and you are not willing to play without a color head. Fat people are also lucky, and they can win every time. Fortunately, Lin Shixian was entangled and entangled to the fullest, and he could think about it, so he changed to someone else, and went to hang himself. ”

The fat man smiled and said, "You can't lose to me every time, my luck is really good, there is no shady." ”

Song Zhishu retorted: "But I gamble less and don't lose much." ”

The fat man argued: "That's because you are shy in your pocket, and if you have a little money, you won't be able to participate." When the time comes, let you come in with your shoes on and go out barefoot!"

Jian Shuzhi turned his head and tried not to laugh out loud. The fat man's cleverness, he has seen too much, and he doesn't expose it. Looking at this situation, eighty percent of the game was formed by the fat man luring Ge Fuzi to deliberately lose the game. Because, he has also been pitted by the two of them. Of course, if Ge Fuzi knew that there was a lottery, he probably wouldn't have agreed. I don't know what method the fat man used to successfully tempt Ge Fuzi.

But then again, Lin Shixian shouldn't be a stupid person, and he really can't see the fat man's little tricks? Is it really as Song Zhishu said, treating money like dung? Can't see that Lin Shixian is also an interesting person, and he is willing to cooperate with the fat man in this play.

The fat man and Song Zhishu were still arguing, Jian Shuzhi simply closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to the two. Under the command of the coachman, the carriage circled around the alleys in the south of the city. The daughter-in-law has always been obsessed with the good materials transported back from Huzhou by the neighboring street cloth village, and has been reluctant to spend money to buy them. This month, I can meet a few more generous guest officers, and these are all settled. Every time I think of this, the coachman's face can be happy with flowers, weighing the silver taels he has just received, and he feels more energetic, and he can't help humming a little song.

Sitting in the car and staggering, I don't know how long it has been. The coachman screamed, and the carriage slowly stopped. The coachman spoke outside the curtain: "Three guest officers, the plough courtyard has arrived." ”

The fat man rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched. Song Zhishu yawned and straightened up. The two saw Jian Shuzhi sitting quietly on the side and said, "I didn't take a nap on the road, but my spirit is good!"

Jian Shuzhi smiled slightly, in fact, they had been practicing luck all the way under their noses, and of course their mental state was good, but the two of them were drowsy and didn't notice it. Jian Shuzhi was the first to get out of the car and talked with the coachman. I learned that the driver's surname is Ma Minglun, and he also lives in Changping Street in Nancheng, and usually works hard to make a living. There is a little mother in the family who gave birth to two children.

"Aren't all the dignitaries living on Changping Street?" the fat man then got out of the carriage.

Ma Lun, the coachman, touched the horse's body with his rough right hand, and replied in an official dialect that was not fluent: "Changping Street is divided into two streets, north and south, where dignitaries live in the north, and ordinary people like me live in the south street. A teahouse separates the north and south streets, which is very recognizable. The business of this teahouse is good, the price is also affordable, and the children are not bullied. Sometimes, the owner of the teahouse will invite some artists who sing songs to perform on stage, which is even more lively. ”

Song Zhishu was the last to get out of the carriage, and the coachman Ma Lun told them that when they turned left after the alley, they could see the Lifang Courtyard. The fat man asked him why he didn't give him a ride, and Ma Lun replied that there was martial law ahead, and the carriage could not enter. They watched as Mullen turned around and disappeared into the night.

Out of the alley, turn left.

The three of them were shocked by the scene in front of them, after all, they were all from small places and had never seen a big scene.

The magnificence of the Kyoshi after night is even more breathtaking, and the buildings stand in the night, the outlines are hazy, like splashing ink. The lights are on, colorful and dazzling. The noise came from the streets and alleys, and the passers-by were gorgeously dressed and gathered in groups. The plough courtyard is even brighter, and laughter and laughter come from time to time.

Song Zhishu stood still, but he couldn't take a step. Jian Shuzhi and the fat man followed behind him, and they couldn't see Song Zhishu's expression clearly. The fat man asked him why he didn't leave, and Song Zhishu didn't answer.

Jian Shuzhi looked towards the plough courtyard he faced. What catches the eye is a three-storey building, painted with flying buildings, carved beams and beautiful columns, and extremely luxurious. The main entrance is wide open and the lights are brilliant. Facing the main door, there is a staircase eight feet wide with an exotic carpet that leads to the second floor. The hall was overcrowded, calling friends to sit together, and there were more charming and charming women smiling and hugging.

The little fat man and Jian Shuzhi had never seen such a fragrant scene, and the fat man's eyes were even straighter, and he felt that his mouth was dry and he couldn't speak.

Song Zhishu said dumbfoundedly, "This plough courtyard turned out to be a green building." No wonder the coachman has something to say, looking at your eyes is a little strange, this is a surprise that the two hairs are not together, and they are itching to play with girls. ”

The little fat man stared intently at the curvaceous and thinly dressed Qinglou women in the hall, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Then do you still go in?"

Jian Shuzhi patted the fat man's head and said, "I haven't heard anyone say, Qinglou is a golden cave." No matter how much money he carried, he would come out shirtless as long as he entered. ”

Song Zhishu went to Fengyue several times accompanied by Lingzhou fox friends and dog friends, but he didn't dare to stay overnight, and he is still a chick. I saw him slowly retract his gaze, gradually come back to his senses, and said, "It's over the addiction." Take you two little children to the kiln, and it's not good to spread the reputation. The point is that even if you go in, other girls don't want to see them. ”

The little fat man asked, "Why don't you see you?"

Song Zhishu smiled and said, "You'll know when you grow up." ”

The three of them were wandering in the street, and a fast horse passed by, almost knocking people into the air, and immediately sat a sergeant, scolding and swearing, "I'm blind, I almost knocked over!"

The little fat man was about to find him to theorize, but was grabbed by Jian Shuyi, and said in a low voice: "Xiucai met a soldier, and he can't explain it reasonably." Don't bother. ”

It is estimated that the armor soldier is on a mission, so he turned his head and glared fiercely, but did not dismount to show off his might, and in the blink of an eye, he hit his horse and ran away.

The little fat man was depressed and irritable in his heart, glanced at Song Zhishu, and sneered: "What about the soldiers who said that they could surrender without a fight? ”

Song Zhishu smiled and replied, "I disdain to compete with these barbarians and surrender my identity. ”

The fat man continued to sarcastically, "Do you disdain or don't dare?"

Just as the two continued to talk and entangle, Jian Shuzhi saw an acquaintance passing by, chatting and laughing with others, and didn't notice them.

"Sun Maoming!" Jian Shuzhi shouted at the back.

The man looked back, saw them, and at first his face showed surprise, and then, with a smile, he walked over to them.

"When did you come to Jingshi?" Sun Maoming said, "I just heard someone call my name, and I wonder which old man it is?"

"It's a long story. But it's really fun to meet old people in a foreign country. Jian Shuzhi stepped forward, "Do you remember the little fat man?"

"Deeply memorable. I don't know him if I don't know each other!" Sun Maoming glanced at the fat man and said with a smile: "I don't know, it's still not as sharp as before." ”

The fat man's nostrils turned to the sky and muttered, "The country is easy to change, but the temperament is difficult to change." I haven't seen you grow much!"

Jian Shuzhi smiled and said to Sun Maoming: "Don't be like a fat man, this person has a bad heart except for bad mouth." It seems like you've been away from the academy for a while, why did you come to Jingshi?"

When Sun Maoming heard this, he broke his fingers and counted, "It's been almost two years since I left the academy. When the matter of being punished by the instructor was reported back to the capital, it was regarded by the elders of the clan as insulting to the family style and ruining the reputation, so he was furious. As a result, my protests were ineffective, and my father was punished, so I could no longer stay at the academy. ”

"I see. No wonder I haven't met you since, and I've asked you for news, but no one knows what's going on. ”

Sun Maoming expressed his gratitude to Jian Shuzhi, and then asked him why he appeared near the Lifang Courtyard.

Seeing Jian Shuzhi's vague words, Sun Maoming glanced at Song Zhishu and the little fat man again, as if he understood something, and then winked at Jian Shuzhi, showed a meaningful smile, and said, "I understand!"

Jian Shuzhi suddenly felt embarrassed, things were not what he imagined, and he just wanted to tell him the cause and effect of the incident, but was interrupted by the urging voice of his companion.

Sun Maoming responded, and said to Jian Shuzhi and the three of them: "It just so happens that there are a few friends here, and I will introduce you to each other." He led them to meet with those people, and Sun Maoming apologized to everyone, explaining that because he had met his classmates, he asked everyone to wait for a long time.

These people expressed their understanding, and their eyes focused on Jian Shuzhi and the three of them, waiting for Sun Maoming to introduce them one by one.
