Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Ya's master and servant and the shopkeeper of Gao Xuan Inn settled the silver taels. I had breakfast with Li He's master and servant. The group of them was in the lobby of the inn, waiting for the carriage that had been hired last night to come.

Yang Jingzhi came with a group of scholars to see him off. These scholars and scholars have heard of Li He's name for a long time. When they met, they all admired each other. Li He humbly resigned several times, and between mutual salutes, they talked very happily.

Yang Jingzhi also introduced several colleagues and friends to Li He and Shen Yazhi, Fang Changhe and Ma Siyuan and other well-known talents in Luoyang, and they called Li He and Shen Yazhi brothers. Seeing that Li He is not as arrogant as rumored, but more approachable than ordinary scholars, and hearty and upright. The favorability of the scholars has skyrocketed.

Yang Jingzhi said with a smile: "The teacher will go to the yamen in the morning, and Mao Xiao will come to see him off." Brother Fang and Brother Ma Xian and I came here on horseback, and we will send you to the Ten Mile Pavilion and back. ”

At this moment, the hired coachman Su Goro came over with a carriage. Li He and Shen Yazhi hurriedly said goodbye to the other scholars and scholars who saw them off here.

They walked out of the west gate of Luoyang City and went to the official road to the west. Yang Jingzhi and others rode horses and followed the carriage, and taught Shen Yazhi and Li He, who were sitting in the carriage, their experience in the imperial examination. I also guessed the test questions of this spring. Everyone talked about it, and they were happy. It's not lonely on the road.

At this time, it is early spring, and the flowers and trees on the roadside are slightly green. The green hills in the distance contain daisies, and the roadside wilderness spits new sprouts. The official road is full of pedestrians. In less than an hour, they came to the ten-mile long pavilion. Around the long pavilion, weeping willows are planted all over. In the shadow of the willows, there were people crowded.

Su Goro, who was driving the car, saw several carriages parked by the long pavilion, and there were some male and female servants standing next to the car. He reined in the horses in advance.

Li He and Shen Yazhi got off one after another, and said goodbye to Yang Jingzhi, Fang Changhe, and Ma Siyuan, who were sent all the way here. The feelings of dependence are now in words.

Yang Jingzhi arched his hand and said: "Prince An Shiyun, inaction is on the wrong path, and the children are stained with scarves." Brother Wei will not follow the example of his predecessors today, and send the two virtuous brothers to the test with a smile. When the virtuous brothers are inscribed on the gold list and return to their hometowns, when they pass through Luoyang, they will celebrate your brother for you. ”

Shen Yazhi said with a smile: "Xia Xian may not be able to reach the first place this time, but Changji is very sure." Although Brother Mao Xiao is prepared, Xia Xian can follow to touch the glory. ”

I'm afraid I'll come back earlier than you!" Li He said secretly. But in front of friends, it is not appropriate to say disappointing words, so he immediately thanked him humbly.

Just as he was about to turn around and get into the carriage, he saw a servant who looked like a steward walking in front of him. He bowed his hand to them and said respectfully: "The villain inquires." Can the famous man of Changgu Li He be here?"

Li He put down the leg that had been raised, turned around and arched his hand: "It's down there, what is your purpose in looking for Xiaosheng?"

The servant hurriedly bowed to Li Hezuo again before raising his head and saying, "The villain Zhou Cai is the outer court manager of the Jin State Mansion. Today, on the orders of the master, I have come to buy more time for the son. Please take a step to speak. ”

said that he bent down to invite people, and his demeanor was extremely respectful.

Steward Zhou is about fifty years old, and he is quite sophisticated. Li He had no way to refuse, so he had to follow him to the carriage in front.

There were four carriages parked in front, and the first one was quite luxurious. There are also two maids dressed in emeralds standing nearby. It's not like Pei Gong's carriage, but it looks like it is used by Miss Boudoir. Li He hesitated slightly, then paused.

Said to Steward Zhou, who led the way in front: "May I ask which master of your family is here?" I hope you will forgive me. ”

Steward Zhou turned around and smiled: "Childe will know the Tao when he sees it." Please!"

Seeing the ladies of the Jin State Mansion in front of so many people, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient!

Li He stood in place and wanted to turn around, but he was afraid of being rude. While he was in a hurry, the steward in front of him had already instructed the other servants to begin to fetch things from the carriage.

At this moment, the curtain on the luxurious carriage in front was lifted. First, a woman in green dressed as a maid came down first, and then helped a young lady dressed in a light blue lake brocade to step on a low stool and get out of the carriage.

The young lady looked up at Li He and squatted down to give a salute. Chu Chu's posture is like a weak willow supporting the wind, charming and moving. The appearance of snow skin is even more difficult to describe.

"I have heard the name of the son for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really heroic, and the rumors were true. Pei Runfei is polite. ”

Li He took a step back and arched his hand: "Li Changji has seen Miss Pei. It's just that I have never met Miss Xia, and I don't dare to wait for Miss Lao for a long time, let alone accept Miss Lady's gift. Li He was terrified. ”

Pei Runfei walked a few steps closer with the support of the maid. The willow eyebrows raised slightly, the cherry lips opened lightly, and said with a light smile: "Passing by the sedan curtain, the green shirt is there." We only met on the street yesterday, can Mr. Li say that we have never met?"

Li He's eyes gradually cleared, and he looked at Miss Pei for a while, remembering what Han Gong said last night. It was all at once.

sighed: "Looking back five hundred times in the past life, only to pass by in this life." The origin and the end of the fate are only in the rubbing. All can be forgotten in the world. Changji and Miss are not counted, so why should Miss be persistent?"

Li He's Buddhist words fit Pei Runfei's words that rang in his heart when he looked at his back. I can't help but be crazy like a dream.

It's not just a passing fate, my grandfather is interested in matching our family. Pei Runfei protested in her heart. She remembered the scene when she went to her grandmother's room yesterday evening. When my grandfather and grandmother couldn't convince anyone, Pei Runfei suddenly appeared.

"Grandfather, grandmother, it's good to listen to your granddaughter?" Pei Runfei smiled at Pei Du and his wife, who were arguing.

"Fei'er, don't worry. There is a grandmother who makes the decision for you, and your grandfather can't help it. The Duchess Gao hugged her granddaughter and said angrily.

"Sanniang, Li Changji is a talented man in the world and has a bright future. Grandfather can harm you, don't listen to your grandmother's wife. Not to be outdone, Pei Du said.

Pei Runfei hurriedly persuaded her grandfather and grandmother to take a sip of tea and rest, and waited for her grandfather to breathe for a while before asking: "I heard that Li Changji is not only good at poetry and writing, but also good at medical skills. I don't know if the rumors are true?"

As soon as the granddaughter mentioned this, Pei Du became energetic again. slapped his thigh and suddenly said, "Why did I forget about this!"

I hurriedly told my wife and granddaughter about the family members of the patients who came to thank them in the afternoon.

He concluded: "Changji is not only proficient in medical poetry and literature, but also teaches apprenticeships in his hometown. His eyes are transparent, and there is nothing to hide. The body is not as weak as the average scholar, and it is very athletic. Grandfather is a person who fought in the rain of swords and arrows, who has never seen it? Although the family background is not very good now, it will definitely be very different in the future. Your grandfather has read countless people, when has he ever looked away?"

crackled and said a lot, Pei Du's mouth was dry, and the next person made another cup of tea.

Is it good for him to say that? The Duchess was also puzzled.

Pei Runfei was worried about what her grandfather said about Li He's eyes. I just saw his back, so I subconsciously sent someone to inquire. Now my grandfather is trying to protect this family business, but it is not a destiny destined by God.

Pei Runfei had already made a decision in her heart, and said with a smile: "Two old men, don't fight anymore." Tomorrow morning, I will take the Guogong Mansion as the reason for his practice, and meet him at the ten-mile pavilion outside the city. Although my relatives are in charge of their affairs, their elders are in charge. But after all, this is also my life's event. I'll meet on my own, whether I succeed or not, and I'll talk about it when I come back. Look, that's good?"

Pei Runfei found an excuse to let herself look at Li He openly and brightly. Pei Du and his wife each walked down her steps. Pei Du hurriedly instructed the housekeeper to prepare the gifts, but Mrs. Gao immediately began to arrange for her subordinates to go to Changgu to inquire about the current situation of the Li family.

The old couple is safe and sound, but Pei Runfei provoked the war of her parents on her head. Father Pei Yuanli thinks that his daughter should find a husband who is physically strong, but her mother Liu is obsessed with her family background. The husband and wife learned that this matter was decided by their daughter after seeing each other, and they both approached their daughter to talk to them.

Pei Runfei was overwhelmed. simply closed the door after the most retreat, and a group of relatives and daughters who were going to inquire blocked the door. I read the poem "Gao Xuanguo" back and forth in the room. I was in love all night, and even the dreams at night were beautiful.

Early in the morning, under the arrangement of the housekeeper, he went out of the city gate and came to the ten-mile long pavilion to wait. When she saw Li He from a distance in the carriage, she was heartbroken by his sturdy and neat figure. When they looked at each other head-on, Li He's eyes were as clear as spring water, and the vitality emanating from his smooth cheeks instantly melted the girl's heart.

Hearing Li He say that the two of them are not even one-sided, Pei Runfei disagrees. I'm afraid I don't know that my grandfather plans to ask Lord Han to protect the media. But the girl's shyness is so shy, and she can't say anything about her initiative anyway. I was about to divert the topic and wish Li He a smooth entrance examination. Li He took a few steps closer, and Pei Runfei's heart collided like a deer.

When she was delicate and infinite, she heard Li He lower his voice and said: "Changji's imperial examination is hopeless, and his career is even more slim. In the future, he will just be in the dust, and an ordinary mountain village man is really not a good match for Miss Gaomen. I already know Pei Gong's intentions. Changji can't be ashamed. I hope that Ling Zu will take back his life and find another good match for the young lady. Changji is not hypocritical, but the truth. ”

Pei Runfei was stunned for a moment, and then her lips trembled and said, "Am I not good? Do you think I'm killing Rickfu? That's all nonsense from outsiders." ”

Li He glanced at Pei Runfei and knew her past and present life well.

I couldn't bear to tell him directly, so I only sighed: "It's me who is not good, Changji will marry no matter within three years." I can't bear to waste Miss Pei's youth. You can do it for yourself in the future, don't feel sorry for yourself, maybe you can open up a new life experience. Changji's heartfelt words, I hope you will remember. ”

With that, he turned and walked towards his carriage. Pei Runfei looked at Li He's figure and couldn't help but be stupid.

Or the maid behind him Yancao reminded: "Miss, what should I do with these practice gifts?"

Pei Runfei, who came to his senses, did not hesitate at all, and ordered: "Send it over in the name of my grandfather." ”

Yan Cao hurriedly walked up to Steward Zhou, who was hiding in the distance, and asked him to instruct the servants to deliver bags of gifts to Li He's car.

Pei Runfei watched from a distance and saw that Li He had accepted it. Gradually, a smile appeared. Since ancient times, family affairs, parents' orders, and matchmakers' words. If you don't want to, won't your family want to?
