Since ancient times, Chang'an West Wind and Rain Chapter 54 Rush to take the exam

After a few days of wind, the wind finally stopped, and the long-lost sunlight once again sprinkled into Chang'an City.

Anhua Gate of Chang'an City is very lively, there are businessmen driving cars and horses to carry goods, there are also official officials of the imperial court who are guarded by official cars and armor soldiers, and the nearby villagers who enter the city to catch the market, the cars come and go, the stream is endless, and it is a great weather.

At this time, a scholar in a coarse cloth shirt stood in front of the Anhua Gate, his bag was full of books, and he was wearing a hat. Now that the scientific expedition is approaching, there are not a few scholars like him who rushed to Chang'an from thousands of miles away, but his appearance still attracted some attention from the surrounding pedestrians.

If he wins the list one day, it will be a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and his worth has skyrocketed since then. Even if you can't get to it, it's best not to mess with him. Although there are many people in Sun Mountain, who can say such a thing as luck?

"It turns out that this is Chang'an, and it really lives up to its name. ”

This scholar is obviously the first time to come back to Chang'an, looking at the bustling streets and alleys in front of him, like a sea of people, a prosperous Chang'an. As the so-called spring breeze is proud, you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. Although he didn't drink a drop of wine, he was already drunk.

Now there is still half a month left before the scientific expedition, and the scholars are not in a hurry. He had heard that Chang'an wine was better than a beautiful woman, but now that it is rare to come back, how could he miss this excellent opportunity? He came to a tavern, went upstairs and found a place to sit down, ordered a pot of wine, and savored this autumn Chang'an.

At this time, it was not yet noon, and there were not many people in the tavern, and the scholar tasted the wine and unconsciously lost his mind, fantasizing about the day the list was released, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw the familiar name on the top of the list.

"Bang dang!"

But at this moment, a noisy voice shattered his beautiful illusion. When the scholar came back to his senses, he saw two men, standing in front of a wine table. One person was seven feet tall, wearing a crescent-colored dress with a pattern embroidered with green silk, looking like he should be from a rich family, but he saw that his face was flushed, obviously because he had drunk too much. The other person was dressed a little plainly, with delicate eyes and slanted sword eyebrows.

The two of them had three feet of Qingfeng in their hands, even if they were separated by several feet, the scholar could still feel the anger emanating from the sword-eyed man. There are broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground, and looking at the posture of the two, I am afraid it will be difficult to pull them back.

The shopkeeper hid in the corner and didn't know what to do. As the saying goes, the sword has no eyes, if you go up to persuade someone to be cut down by a sword, and a missing arm and leg falls, isn't that a big loss? But if you don't persuade it, who should this broken thing be counted on? People who walk the rivers and lakes have tempers, and besides, if they don't want to lose this money, they will not have to deduct it from their monthly money in the end?

The sword eyebrow man in his hand had already struck out towards the other party, and he was about to fight each other with two blades, "The two heroes, please calm their anger, what grievances can't be negotiated and forgiven, do you have to fight? ”

The rich man was about to step forward with his sword, but was interrupted by a sentence from this scholar, quite unhappy, "You poor and sour talent, get out of the way, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to point fingers in front of Lao Tzu?"

The scholar was not annoyed, but looked at the man very respectfully, "This hero, this is Chang'an, do it at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you have to think about the consequences." ”

The man was still furious, but he restrained slightly.

The man with the sword eyebrows was also a little taboo about the scholar's words, and immediately looked at him and said, "You are a scholar, you came to give us a review, why did he insult me?"

The rich man didn't cut his head, and said, "I insult you? A dignified husband walks the rivers and lakes with a woman's sword, is this still insulted by others? It is clear that he came out to be ridiculed by others. ”

When the sword-eyed man heard this, the anger that had subsided slightly ignited again, "I repeat, this is the sword that my master left me, and you can hide it again Believe it or not, I killed you with a sword?"

The rich man shouted, "Come on, Lao Tzu is afraid of you? Isn't it just a human life, Lao Tzu has money!"

The scholar listened to the quarrel between the two, and roughly understood the root cause of the grievances between the two.

"The two heroes are at ease. The scholar hurriedly replied, "Actually, this is just a misunderstanding, there is no need to be angry." ”

"Misunderstanding?" the two said in unison.

The scholar then asked, "Have you ever heard the story of the cadre Mo Ye?"

The rich man whispered, "Of course you've heard it, what are you doing with this brainless thing, and you want to make up a random story to fool us?"

The scholar shook his head, "Scholars never make things up, so how can they fool you?" In the Warring States Period, there was a famous swordsmith surnamed Wu Mingfeng, and one day the king of Chu wanted to forge two swords and give them to his neighbors to become allies. Hearing that Wu Feng was famous for forging swords, he ordered him to create two fine swords within three months. This Wu Feng has a rule for making swords, before making swords, he must first think about it behind closed doors for a month, and then quench and cast swords, and three months is far from enough. ”

The rich kid thought it was a little interesting when he heard it, and subconsciously asked, "And then?"

The scholar looked at him and smiled, "The King of Chu thought that this was just Wu Feng's excuse, and suspected that he didn't sincerely want to make a sword, so he threatened him to kill his entire clan if he couldn't get two good swords within three months." Wu Feng had no choice but to cast the sword, but in order to ensure the quality of the sword, Wu Feng still chose to think about it behind closed doors for half a month. Seeing that the three-month deadline was approaching, her wife was worried that he was tired from exhaustion, so she secretly got up at night to help him make a sword. ”

The sword-eyed man followed and asked, "Didn't Wu Feng find out about this?"

The scholar nodded, "Of course I found that his wife has been forging swords with him for many years, and although her skills are not as good as his, she is much better than many swordsmiths." Wu Feng didn't break it, and still cast the sword during the day and rest at night, while her wife cast the sword at night and rested during the day. Finally, in three months, the two swords were handed over to the king of Chu, and the king of Chu was very satisfied. After hearing the story of their husband and wife, they were even more emotional, and these two swords also became a husband and wife sword, which integrated the emotions between Wu Feng and his wife. ”

After listening to this story, most of the masculinity of the two men has disappeared, and the rich man thought for a while, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "What does this have to do with the misunderstanding you said?"

"Of course it matters, this women's sword was built by Wu Feng's wife, and this sword in your hand is the husband and wife sword together with it. The scholar explained.

When the two men heard this, they all looked at the scholar dumbfounded, and the sword-eyed man asked in disbelief, "What you said is true?"

The rich man echoed, "I can warn you, if you frame me, your body will be exposed outside Chang'an City tomorrow." ”

The scholar said unhurriedly, "Look at the hilt of your sword, is there a Wu character engraved on it?"

After forging a sword, most swordsmiths like to engrave their names on the hilt of their swords for future generations to know. When the rich kid heard this, he hurriedly rummaged through the hilt of the sword, and exclaimed, "Don't say it, there is really a Wu character." ”

The scholar then looked at the man with the sword eyebrows and said, "Look at the sword in your hand, whether there is a word Xie, it is rumored that Wu Feng's wife's surname is Xie, this sword was built by her, and the name on it should be her." ”

Before the scholar finished speaking, the man with the sword eyebrows had already begun to rummage through it, and said in surprise, "There is really a thank you!

When the rich kid heard this, he couldn't help but blush, and said apologetically, "Brother, being able to find this couple sword is our fate, and it's just ...... It's my drunkenness, please offend more. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. The sword-eyed man couldn't accept the enthusiasm of this rich kid for a while, and was a little shy.

The rich kid said happily: "Little Er, serve us good wine, the bowl that was smashed just now will be counted on my head!"

The rivers and lakes are so big, it is not easy to find such a destined person.

The sword-eyed man suddenly came to his senses and said, "What about the gentleman, I haven't asked him his name or where he lives, so I can thank him in the future." ”

The two of them looked towards the wine table where the scholar was, and only one wine money was left on the table, and the people were not going anywhere.

This story is indeed not made up by this scholar, but these two swords are not the husband and wife swords forged by Wu Feng and his wife. Moreover, Wu Feng's wife is not surnamed Xie ......

As for why the scholar can predict the prophet, in fact, it is just that he was born with quick eyes and hands, and he has an unforgettable title in the township. It's just that I happened to see the Wu character on the hilt of the sword......
