  Chapter 1 Entering Beijing

  Jingzhe.

The electric light is like a messy python, crushing the gloomy sea of ​​clouds, turning the earth into a river.

In the violent thunderstorm, a black oil-paper umbrella, along with the awning boat, drifted across the water gate of Riverfacing Lane in the capital.

Along the banks of the river, the city is full of wind and rain, plucking three thousand willows.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Zuo Lingquan looked at the jagged buildings in the capital. He felt that the scene before him was very similar to the picture “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” in my memory.

Seventeen years since I came to this world, my memory in the past has long been fuzzy, but Zuo Lingquan can confirm that this is not the world with only scholars.

This is Eastern Flower City, the capital of the Great Dan Dynasty.

Seventeen years ago, Zuo Lingquan was born in Qinghe County of the Great Dan Dynasty. He is the son of the local big landlord Zuo Family. He has rich family wealth and thousands of hectares of fertile land. He was lucky to have a good baby.

When Zuo Lingquan first came here, Zuo Lingquan thought he could be a silly son of a landlord for his whole life, with no worries about food and clothing; but when he was a toddler, he found that this world is a bit different.

The people here are very difficult to deal with, well-known figures can fly through the skies or escaping through the ground, move the mountains and seas; animals are equally good, foxes repay favors, strange talks Widespread.

Zuo Lingquan grew up so big, although he has never seen these strange things, but from the words and phrases of the ancient book, you can still get a glimpse of the mysterious and vastness of this world.

Two lives, Zuo Lingquan didn’t want to soar up to ninety thousand miles, go to the mountain to see what this world is.

It is a pity that even though he has a wealth of wealth, he has become an ordinary person in this unusual world because of his inherent meridian failure.

When I entered Beijing this time, because I was too outstanding, I was named to run for the Prince Consort of Princess.

gu gu Falling to the ground will make you worry-free in this life, but there is no way to go in front of the avenue.

Zuo Lingquan also doesn’t know if he is from his background, whether he is lucky or unlucky.

After another thought, the awning boat docked on the street.

Zuo Lingquan retracted his thoughts, flicked with his fingers, threw an ingot of silver to the ship master, and stepped onto the bluestone alley of Riverfacing Lane.

The ship’s
  master caught the silver ingot and was flattered:
“Young Master, I have given too much.”

“Reward you.”

Zuo Lingquan is free Waved his hand and walked straight into the rain curtain.

Holding the silver ingot, the ship’s master was full of gratitude. He was about to push the awning boat away from the river bank. He suddenly heard the sound of’oh la la —’splashing water from the bank, followed by the woman’s scream.

When I looked up, I saw a little woman in a pearl hairpin sarong standing at the entrance of a wine shop on the street, with a wooden basin in her hand, her eyes full of horror.

The street was filled with water and mist, Zuo Lingquan, who had just walked out a few steps, stood still in the mist.

The ship master’s eyes were stunned. He didn’t expect that the Young Master was only three-step handsome. For fear of conflict between the two sides, he hurriedly made a round:

“Shopkeeper Tang, Young Master is just When you get to the capital, you just pour other people in the bath and look at Young Master, who is handsome and wants to say hello. It was not like you did.”

As soon as these words came out, the guests in the tea shop and wine shop burst into laughter.

Zuo Lingquan raised his umbrella to cover the top of his head, and turned his eyes to the wine shop.

The wine shop has yellowed wine banners with only the word’Tang’ written on it.

The little woman holding a wooden basin, standing under the eaves, a beaded hairpin sarong, simple and clean, with bulging clothes, white tofu-like face, and staring eyes with panic. Son, it adds a few different flavors.

However, the little lady seemed to be quite aggressive. Hearing the ship master’s ridicule, she immediately glared back:

   ”What nonsense, did you not see me being careless?”

After that, the little woman looked at Zuo Lingquan with apologetic eyes: “Young Master, it’s really sorry, the rain is so heavy, I thought there was no one on the street. This is boiling water for boiling wine,” Not bath water.”

Boiling water?
It’s
  not as good as bath water.

Zuo Lingquan looked at the white mist on the ground, and wanted to give a few words. It can be seen that the other party is a woman, think about it or
  say :
“Be careful next time, if it is ordinary women and children, You have to be disfigured on the spot.”

“The Young Master has learned the lesson.”

The little woman nodded in embarrassment, raised her eyes, but saw the young Young Master in front of her, dressed in tea. azure robe, with a piece of Pisces hanging on the belt, long hair tied up with a black hairband, sword eyebrows, star eyes, nose bridge, straight and tough face, and a green leather sheath saber hanging on the waist, looking handsome bringing calamity to the country and the people.

I just removed the umbrella to block the splashing water, causing a lot of raindrops on my cheeks and brocade robe.

The little woman blinked her eyes and turned such a handsome Young Master into a soup chicken, feeling sorry, and opened the mouth and said:

“Young Master should enter the shop Come, I’ll find a towel for you to wipe?”

Zuo Lingquan, a boat and car fatigue, came over. He hadn’t eaten lunch yet. Seeing the smell of wine in the shop, I didn’t refuse. I put away my umbrella under the eaves and walked into Tang Family. Wine shop.

The wine shop is not big, with four small wine tables, and a wine tank and a stove for warming wine are placed in the corners.

On the side of the wine table, there are already two guests sitting on the table, wearing black fish-scale armor, with sabers on their sides, one old and one young, it looks like they are patrolling by Riverfacing Lane.

Zuo Lingquan entered the wine shop and sat down at the wine table by the window. The little woman hurried into the backyard looking for towels.

The old catcher at the neighboring table opened the mouth and said when he saw it:

“Quiet, you can change your energetic and bustling temperament in the future, thanks to Young Master today. Good-tempered, otherwise I will let you pay for this robes, you will be busy in the first half of the year.”

The little woman named Tang Jingxun walked out with a white towel, ill-humoredly said:

“The Young Master is gentle and elegant, knowledgeable and reasonable. At first glance, he is a scholar who is reasonable. You think it is the same as your old fart. You still love to take advantage of your mouth full of meat? Right? Young Master? “

Zuo Lingquan responded politely to this flattery:

“Auntie is overwhelmed.”

Auntie?

   Tang Jingxun’s brilliant smile froze, and he murmured his lips. He obviously wanted to curse, but in the end he resisted and said with a little dissatisfaction:

   ”Young Master, I’m not married yet, auntie Where can I bark. My name is Tang Jingxun, you can call sister Tang, if you don’t want to call sister, then you can call Little Xun.”

Zuo Lingquan was a little surprised. Look at the little woman in front of him. The charm of the charm is so familiar that it can drip out, and it is definitely not a small way in this world.

However, Zuo Lingquan didn’t ask too much about women’s family affairs, and changed her words:

“Lady Boss, what do you have to eat?”

Tang With a smile on his face, Jingxun hurriedly introduced the dishes that go with the wine shop.

The old catcher will see nothing wrong soon, he drank all the wine in his glass, put five big coins on the table, and quickly walked out with the little catcher.

Tang Jingxun turned around and greeted this:

“Old Zhang, don’t drink anymore?”

Lao Bu is holding the old knife with the yellow sheath Walked out of the wine shop and waved his hand:

   ”Fine, I have been drinking wine here for ten years, not to mention the butt, I have never touched my hand, the business is not kind.”

Tang Jingxun heard the bullshit, not half ashamed, and cursed on the spot:

   ”Bah—I’m not a brothel here. I want to touch you to the front alley, I’m afraid you are getting older…”

Speaking of this, I found Zuo Lingquan sitting in front of him, Tang Jingxun quickly put away his harsh words, and smiled shyly:

   ”Old Zhang is a patrol of Riverfacing Lane, and he is a good person and has great ability. It’s a long open mouth, Young Master don’t mind.”

Zuo Lingquan finds it interesting, so he doesn’t mind.

After a while, Tang Jingxun fetched a pot of wine, two dishes of side dishes, and placed it on the table.

As soon as Zuo Lingquan picked up his chopsticks, there was a boat docking at the pier outside the wine shop.

This time it was a big ship, and maidservants gathered on the deck.

With the pedal down, more than a dozen young Young Masters come down from the top, all dressed in luxurious clothes, among them, a few phoenix eyes and crescent eyebrows, male and female faces attract a lot of attention. .

There are no other guests in the wine shop. Tang Jingxun stood at the door watching the excitement. After spotting these pampered young masters, he opened the mouth and said:

“The ship of the four southern counties, These Young Masters are all competing for the Crown Princess silk ball, right?”

The four southern counties are the granary of the Great Dan Dynasty. Zuo Lingquan comes from Qinghe County among the four counties, and should have been sitting here. The official ship entered Beijing. He glanced out the window, nodded and said:

   ”Yes, I should have arrived a few days ago. The river has been swollen with heavy rain for several days, and it has been delayed for a few days.”

“oh?”

Tang Jingxun saw Zuo Lingquan so understanding, thoughtful, turned around, sat on the wine table next to him, holding his chin with his hand, and curiously asked:

   ”Crown Princess chooses the day after tomorrow.” Prince Consort, Aristocratic Family Young Masters from all over the world have been called to the capital. I see Young Master has a good temperament. Could it be that he also came for this?”

This matter comes.

But he has a wealth of wealth. Even if he can’t travel thousands of miles in this life, with no difficulty in the wine pond and the grove, will he be interested in the Prince Consort who can’t take concubines?

Zuo Lingquan hesitated before responding ambiguously:

“I came here by myself, not even an entourage, like fighting for Prince Consort?”

Tang Jingxun looked at Zuo Lingquan carefully, and I don’t know if it was a compliment:

“Then Her Highness the Princess is not lucky. If Young Master arrives the day after tomorrow, there are no people outside. Princess decided to choose you.”

“……”

Zuo Lingquan put down the wine bowl and looked towards Tang Jingxun:

   ”Why?”

Tang Jingxun pursed his lips and chuckled, pointing to the group of gentle pampered young masters outside:

  ”elder sister, I still have a bit of eye-sight, look at those Young Masters, gentle and gentle all over the body. Shit, the last carriage required a maid to help. It is more expensive than the Treasured Young Lady, and has no masculinity. If I choose my husband-in-law, I will definitely not choose them.”

Zuo Lingquan does not agree with those people. I took the big boat together because I couldn’t stand the sissy gang. Seeing Tang Jingxun said this, jokingly:

  ”If Big Sister Tang chooses her husband and son-in-law, would she choose me like this?”

? ?

   Tang Jingxun smiled stiffly, only to find that she had walked in. Faced with the sudden molesting, she did not look disgusted, but just stood up and walked to the backyard, humming softly:

“Young Master is not very old, but he has a lot of thoughts. I just missed the elder sister.”

Zuo Lingquan smiled, and each minding their own business started eating wine and food.

When the rain cracked outside the window, Tang Jingxun returned to the back room to prepare wine and food, without saying anything.

It’s just that the wine in the pot was not exhausted, and there was a loud noise outside, which seemed to be the movement of the collapsed house, which was extremely eye-catching in the rain.

Boom——

Tang Jingxun was shocked, almost cut his fingers, and ran out from behind the curtain:

   ”What’s wrong? Someone’s accident… Huh?”

The wine shop was empty, Zuo Lingquan, who had just been seated, had already jumped out of the window, and only one back could be seen.

Before leaving, I didn’t forget to put an official ticket on the table, which had a hundred denominations.

Tang Jingxun’s eyes lit up, and he quickly put the bank note into his neckline, then leaned out the window, ready to ask if he could find any money.

The scene that I didn’t want to see, but the charming little lady’s face suddenly turned pale…
