flutter

Outside the city, some dolls in a hurry will stop at roadside tea stalls to have a rest.

A bowl of tea is served, and the guests at the table thank you softly.

The side of the road was dusty, and the person in the cloud-gray cloak looked calm and unflappable. He drank tea but did not leave immediately.He took the book from the bookcase on the floor. The book was obviously read frequently, and the corners of the pages were all curled up. There were three characters faintly visible on the page, but they were not clear.

The silence is but a moment.

"Shopkeeper, here are some bowls of tea." Another few big men who were busy with travel and dust took their seats, and they opened their mouths before they settled down.

The man who licked the blood did not shy away from speaking: "Brother, why did you come to Beijing in such a hurry? How do we compete with these scholars for time?"

"That's right, it's still not good enough." Several male voices in high and low voices panting uninterruptedly followed.

On the other hand, the bookish person lowered his eyes for a moment, but calmly memorized every word at the table next to him.

"Keep your voice down, kid!"

"Hey, it's okay. Now it's only one step away from the sky, so I'll make it clear to you—in a few days, there will be a banquet outside this city. If anyone falls into the eyes of the host, don't say No worries in this life, even your mother and son will enjoy the blessings in the next life, haha, cough."

In the end, he couldn't restrain his excitement and turned up the volume. The big man came back to his senses and immediately glanced around carefully. The sun was hot, there was no one on the road, and there was only a jade-faced scholar in a long cloak in the booth. He looked weak and weak, just looked down at the pages of the book without moving, like a complete nerd, he disapproved and snorted disdainfully.

The big man was looking back when he saw the man looked up and turned to look at him. He saw a smile on his handsome face, but a chill crawled up his spine like a worm.The big man shook his eyes and didn't dare to look any more, he turned his head and started bragging with his brothers again, but his breathing became much more rapid.

"If you want me to say, this Chunwei is useless. These scholars, hmph. They don't even look at their own stature."

"Brother, don't be angry, how can those white chickens compare to you, let me tell you, even the most beautiful woman in the capital must bow down under your majesty."

"Hahahaha! After entering the capital, I will take you to the first Hongxiufang to see the world."

"I heard that the head of the first square is also a powerful person."

"Hahahaha Hua Kui is naturally very skilled in bed."

"hey-hey……"

What followed was some obscenities, the scholar turned his eyes and stopped paying attention.

After a while, the man closed the pages of the book, covering the words "He Ningwen" on the pages, and put it back into the bookcase as if inadvertently.He put the copper coins on the table and was about to leave in the scorching sun. At this moment, there was another sound of horseshoes, and the oncoming sand made him cover his face and cough a few times.The sound of horseshoes stopped abruptly, and the scholar waved the dust with his hand and couldn't help looking up.

The movement was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention, but everyone was speechless when they looked at it. For a while, the tea stall was terribly quiet.

The person on the horse was looking at him, and he was also looking at that person.

Lightly dressed in black and red, he is very sassy, ​​with a straight waist, long legs and broad shoulders, skin like fat and hair like ebony, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes but cold and indifferent, such an appearance makes anyone want to pay attention when looking at it.A deep voice sounded between red lips and white teeth:

"Appeal."

The light dust dissipated, it was like a god descending to earth to appear.She was a full-fledged beauty, but her handsome features, low voice and over eight feet tall figure clearly told everyone that this was a man.

It's a pity for such a face.

He Ningwen thought so for no reason, but it was too strange and offensive.Xu Shi was half sorry, he smiled at the visitor, then picked up the bookcase with only one book on his back and left.

The man watched him leave, got off his horse and took a few steps towards the shopkeeper who was stunned: "Shopkeeper? How far is it from here to Tiandu? And how to get there?"

The shopkeeper, who was in a dream for a while, was finally awakened by his voice, and pointed to the direction where He Ningwen left: "It takes about half a day to go in the direction that the scholar went."

The man got on his horse, and with a little effort on his legs, he rode away again. Only He Ningwen, who was by the roadside, was covered in dust again.

……

The woman is practicing calligraphy.

If it is said that she is stunning, who would deny it?The bun moves up and shakes her head, her face is extravagant, her pair of red phoenix eyes are the incarnation of Fengyue, and the tails of her eyes are like red clouds and flowers, but such a gorgeous foreign object can't compete for the slightest bit of her appearance.

The revealing make-up is very suitable for a woman that everyone despises. The light and non-existent red gauze covers her body, not only does not cover anything, but makes the butterfly bones fly more gracefully.

The four treasures of the study that scholars regard as treasures are just random things for practicing calligraphy with her. She changed a brush, and a waiter took away the rice paper full of words and replaced it with a clean new one.

"My calligraphy is always bad." Hanging the brush with a flick of her sleeve, the girl paused, even her voice was soft and charming, even the servant girl in the same room would be drunk for a while.

But the world regards her as the number one beauty.

It could not be said that it was a complaint or something, the waiter looked at the high pile of waste paper beside the table, obviously every piece of paper could be sought after, but the woman still seemed dissatisfied.

The woman lowered her head and continued, saying: "The word Jiechu is very difficult to write, I have been practicing since I got this nickname, and I haven't practiced it well.

'Take the root of the tree to form a stalk, and run through the pistil of the sapling', huh. "She wrote down her name again, "Who cares about your handwriting as a brothel girl?People in the world say that I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and know everything about astronomy and geography, so who cares?My word is worth a fortune, who said it is for the word or my people? "

The waiter lowered his head, afraid of hearing something he shouldn't hear from her mouth.However, these words were not meant for others to hear, and the woman's eyes were full of concern, but she didn't look at the waiters around her more.

Jie Chi, the head of Hongxiufang, the number one brothel in the capital, is a world-renowned prostitute.

"My name is really hard to write." She complained again, and her willow eyebrows frowned like water.He took another piece of white paper, wrote two words neatly, and then stopped, "Forget it, I'm going to rest. There are a lot of things these days, so tell my mother that I'm sick and I can't see anyone."

The waiter replied yes, only vaguely seeing two words written on the piece of paper under the paperweight that was blown by the wind and couldn't break free.

Shi Yan.

Who is Shi Yan?

When it comes to him, it must be said that the two schools of righteousness and evil in today's martial arts are the most powerful, that is, the three sects and four sects.Shi Yan's mother, Le Tianli, was the daughter of the former head of the Jingchen Sect among the three sects. Back then, a flame scolded the world for so many scumbags, and even now she has been married for many years and is still strong.

And Shi Yan's grandfather is the head of the current Shi family. Although the Shi family is not one of the three schools and four schools, the eighteen counties under Yueling City are important places in the Central Plains. Outstanding.

With such a family background, Shi Yan is naturally an upstart in martial arts.

"Where's Xiaoyan?"

The glamorous woman looked at the busy servant, and couldn't help accusing her weak husband again, "Shi Luoqiu, if you don't care about family affairs, you should still care about your son, right?"

Shi Luoqiu secretly complained about his wife's continued dominance, but at the same time had to protect his own face in front of the concubine's room, straightened his back and said: "Xiaoyan has passed the age of dancing spoons, what he wants to do, I can decide ?”

Le Tianli stared straight at him with her phoenix eyes, and said without anger, "If it wasn't for your influence, how could he have contacted that Chai Wushou, and dared to escape the wedding banquet arranged for him?"

A few days ago, worrying about her unmarried son Wuxiang, Le Tianli specially invited people from the martial arts world, in the name of appreciating flowers, to pick a suitable one for Shi Yan.Although Shi Yan entrusted himself as a member of the world, his peers, not to mention getting engaged, even hugged their children.Although Le Tianli is not a boudoir woman who would force her son to start a family and start a career, she still wants to enjoy the happiness of her family. If she is not in a hurry to get married soon, it is good to find a girl to settle the marriage.

Who knew that Shi Yan, who was very filial in the past, learned about this and wrote a letter saying that there happened to be a flower viewing banquet in the capital, so he went to join in the fun and left home.

"Xiao Yan has always been assertive, you have to force him..." Shi Luoqiu's voice weakened under the gaze of the beautiful woman, and he coughed lightly before regaining his composure, "Am I wrong?"

Le Tianli withdrew his gaze, and said with a sneer on his face, "You have your own opinion? If you have a father who doesn't do anything, why did Xiao Yan come to this point so early, and you are still complacent?" No, just pretending to be harmonious in the eyes of others.

Shi Luoqiu's character was weak, while Le Tianli was a strong character that didn't match his name, which naturally made him uncomfortable in every possible way, so he could only seek comfort from Ruan Ruantian's concubine.

At this time, there are no outsiders, so naturally there is no need to fake.

When Luo Qiu was so blocked that he could not speak, Le Tianli looked at him and the weak concubine beside him and went out with a cold snort.

There is no cloud for thousands of miles outside the house. This is the happiest day in the flower season in the south of the Yangtze River, but it makes people feel a little sullen.

……

This is the season of flowers, and it is also the season of spring.

All kinds of students were coming to Beijing to rush for the exam on the road, and He Ningwen seemed to be able to mix in the same big cloak, but he was really not a scholar.

The sky is close at hand, but he is not in a hurry, he even thought about changing his jasmine sachet, but there is still a long time before the jasmine blooming period, if he changes, it will be a defective product, so he can only hope What stock can the big place have.

Therefore, when entering the city, He Ningwen rushed to the spice shop as the first step, unlike the many students who went to the inn.

Tiandu was really bustling, even He Ningwen felt the magnificence here during the short wayfinding process.Spice shops are mostly picked by women and children or bought by servants, He Ningwen is dressed as a scholar, which seems a bit out of place.

It's just that the incense shop is so exquisite and gorgeous, when He Ningwen stepped into it, the shopkeeper greeted him: "This guest officer looks very strange, but is it the first time to buy incense?"

He Ningwen nodded, and asked, "Excuse me, owner, do you have Yueling Jasmine?"

Although the branches of Yueling jasmine are weak, but the leaf axils are full of flowers, it has always been his favorite raw material.

The store owner was a little worried, and smiled apologetically: "It's a coincidence that the guest officer came. Recently, all the Yueling jasmines have been purchased from the Difeng Banquet outside the city."

After hearing this, He Ning bid farewell to the shopkeeper and turned to leave, passing by a pair of cold eyes.

The street in front of the gate was bustling with people, when He Ningwen stopped, he heard a voice behind him asking: "This store, does Yueling Muli have room?"

It was a low and nice voice, it was clear that we hadn't seen each other for a long time, He Ningwen turned his eyes and walked out slowly, when the sky was clear and clear, when the warm sun was setting in the clouds, he heard the shopkeeper respond: "This guest officer, the city has been in town for a while now. The Outer Difeng Banquet bought all the Yueling jasmines."

He Ningwen heard the male voice ask again: "Have you lost even one, two or three dollars?"

The shopkeeper's voice suddenly became quieter, and He Ningwen laughed lightly after thinking about it.

Difeng feast.

He has to check it out.
