I am the leader of the capital

Chapter 73 The Bride in Red Calls Her Boy in White

"I heard that Zhao Fujin, a talented civilian, is going to Beijing." The short and fat boy in Dongxu's uniform student uniform said to the three friends beside him sitting on the stone steps under the eaves of the small street.

The sun shines on the clean side streets, and the thin beards on the chins of the vigorous teenagers become transparent under the sun. The cool morning wind blows the banners, and the smiling faces reflect the tranquility of the years.

There was a young man with a noble face beside him who seemed to disdain Zhao Fujin, and said coldly: "It is true that Zhao Fujin is going to the city, but whether he can be worthy of the title of civilian talent depends on his specific performance. What great things can a poor boy who has been farming for generations in the wild have a great future for?"

"My surname is Li, what you said is a big deal. You don't even recognize the results of the scientific examinations hosted by the Ministry of Rites. Are you implying that the officials of the Ministry of Rites who went to Yunyue Road to preside over the Qiu Wei are doing favoritism and selling points?" The chunky boy sitting under the eaves was obviously dissatisfied with what the boy surnamed Li with his nostrils upturned said.

The young man surnamed Li choked, and turned his head to defend his words: "Hmph, I never said that the officials of the Ministry of Rites are wrong. When Zhao Fujin comes to the capital and meets a talented person from a family, you will know that Zhao Fujin and others are respected by you common people. The children of the aristocratic family headed by Mr. Qiu are much inferior in talent and literary talent."
"Don't open your mouth to be a commoner. Your family is just a businessman with a stinky background. I heard that your father insisted on marrying his daughter to a concubine's concubine of a bastard in the Zhang family to be a concubine? Is it done? If you become a concubine, everyone will congratulate you and congratulate your sister for being a concubine."

In the distance, a young man who climbed on the roof and sat eating echoed: "That is, before your sister becomes the concubine of the son of the old man's concubine who is a descendant of the Zhang family, don't be too pushy. Open your mouth and say it like a commoner." It's too early to say, don't talk about it in the future, don't be ashamed."

"Hahaha."

The awkward words of the young man on the roof caused the crowd to burst into laughter. Although no one knew this handsome young man, everyone here knew what he meant.

The concubine son of Zhang Shangshu's family decades ago grew up and the concubine's son's son is now of marriageable age. This means that the young man who is a commoner is doing business at home, but in the eyes of the world, he is not popular. In order to raise the threshold and get a touch of aristocratic atmosphere, he found this young man of the marriageable age, whose blood relationship with the Zhang family's sons and brothers could not be farther away.

Amidst the ridicule of the crowd, the young man surnamed Li blushed, turned around and left bitterly.

The young man sitting on the steps was full of curiosity, and said, "I don't know if Mr. Qiu and the smart man met that day."
"Probably not. If we meet, we will hear about it. If the two most talented people from the aristocratic family and the common people meet, I don't know what kind of sparks will be created." The boy on the eaves said after finishing speaking. : "Have you heard that the Ghost Bride has appeared?"

"Ghost bride? The bride who committed suicide on the day of the wedding in Li's house in the west of the city?" The pudgy young man sitting on the steps asked doubtfully, and all eyes immediately turned to the young man sitting on the eaves, waiting for his answer.

The handsome young man with one leg dangling from the eaves nodded, "Yes, that's the Li Mansion. Last night, the young master who forced a good girl to death hanged a servant in front of the door."

"It's indeed a bit weird, but it's a bit far-fetched to involve the ghost bride, right?" Everyone questioned.

The young man in a light gray round-neck robe on the eaves was not angry after being questioned, and pointed at the young man who had just been ridiculed by everyone and left in embarrassment. When he stopped walking.

"Li Qiyuan, tell me, did you hang a servant in front of your distant cousin's door?" The little boy in a white undershirt and a light gray round collar robe asked Li Qiyuan, who turned around.

The young man named Li Qiyuan looked vigilantly at the young man floating on the eaves who seemed to have the charm of Taoism. The Li family he was in had something to do with the Li family in the west of the city who killed a good girl, but those who were on the line were nothing. Relationships are basically just mentioning common ancestors when building relationships, but there are some business contacts on weekdays.

I only heard about the Li Mansion in the west of the city when I was leaving for school. If there were not a few servants in the family who checked the accounts there, I should not have known the news at this time. However, Li Qiyuan, who was very confused in his heart, asked, "I don't know who this young master is? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Surnamed Li, don't talk nonsense, there are too many people you haven't met, is what the young man said is true?" Many teenagers in Dongxu students' costumes urged.

"Maybe this servant has some complaints about the master. Before he died, he used the old things to scare people." Li Qiyuan, who was thin and looked like a sour scholar, replied absent-mindedly.

Listening to Li Qiyuan's explanation, everyone thought about it and thought it was not impossible, they all nodded and said: "That's right."

"What if someone saw a bride in red with a golden crown squatting on the side of the road calling the boy in white to get up? If someone saw a woman in red floating into Li's mansion under the moonlight, what if the hanged man Is there a one written in blood on the servant's forehead?" The boy in the round neck robe on the eaves had a shallow smile on his lips. The boy's lips were thin, his nose was high, and his eyes seemed to have the sun, moon and stars flowing, which was an extremely rare abnormality. Hitomi.

The crowd was silent for a while, and after a long time, Li Qiyuan murmured: "Maybe someone killed someone and deliberately made up a story to get rid of the crime?"

After everyone heard about it, they looked up to see the demented young man on the eaves who seemed to know everything, but the place where the boy was sitting was gone, only the empty eaves remained.

Suddenly hearing the rumbling of the crane, everyone followed the sound and saw a huge white crane flying across the sky, with a lavender figure on it. It happened that the sun was rising in the east, and the brilliant colors covered the entire sky. A young man with a good literary talent said: "The purple air comes from the east, and the immortals come to the sky."

In Shuiyun Tianzhong, Han Di's mansion went back to his room to read, and Yun Qianyu, born in the tomb of Yun, walked hand in hand. The young man stood at the gate and looked at the remodeled door. He nodded with satisfaction, and said to Yun Qianyu beside him, "This is the capital of the capital. Blacksmiths and carpenters are really good.”

Yun Qianyu replied: "With so much money, whether the craftsmanship is good or not, you have to make good things."

After leaving Shuiyuntian, the two went to the street not far away. There were very few people on the street. The early risers had already entered Dongxu to study, and there were only middle-aged men and women who came out to buy something early.

In the eyes of this group of middle-aged men and women, including many small traders, two unstained figures in white clothes walked into the street with a slightly smoky smell, which was a scene that had not been seen in the past for many years.

The two of them were Yun Qianyu, Yun Musheng, and the corpse needle between Yun Musheng's sleeves covered his fingers and moved nimbly. With the control of the young man's true energy, the corpse needle was turned into the clothes from the arm to the shoulder, and then penetrated into the boy's body. In the black hair of his head, he finally inserted it silently into the silver hairpin on his head.

In a rice porridge steamed stuffed bun shop, there were two Yunmu students, Yun Qianyu, sitting in the corner. sword.

The girl's stunning beauty has attracted the attention of many people. People who pass by the steamed stuffed bun shop, regardless of age or gender, will involuntarily glance at her back, but the face of the boy opposite the girl is getting more and more wrinkled. These passers-by would rather look at her. Even a back view is unwilling to look at his face, which dissatisfies the self-proclaimed handsome Yun Musheng.

Yun Qianyu suddenly looked back at the thin man who came into the room. When he turned his head, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold sneer, but since he was facing Yun Musheng and the wall behind Yun Musheng, no one noticed.

Seeing Yun Qianyu's expression, Yun Musheng raised his eyebrows. He knew something was going to happen.

The Orion-looking man in a brown cloth was still covered with some mud, and he looked like he had just entered the city from outside the city. The store showcase guy greeted him after seeing it, apparently he was often seen.

"Shopkeeper, a steamed bun and a bowl of rice porridge."

The shopkeeper of Yan Shanmu's steamed stuffed bun shop brought a basket of steaming steamed stuffed buns to the table, then went to bring a bowl of rice porridge, and chatted, "Old Zhang, how's your harvest these days?"

"There has been a lot of rain recently, and it's not easy to go up the mountain. I only caught a rabbit in the past two days. Others in the village are similar, and they all calculate the price there. I only have a rabbit, and there is nothing to see. Wait for me to eat it." If you are full and drunk, you should probably weigh it and calculate the money." The man looked sad that he could not catch the prey.

Seeing that the customers in the store had disappeared in twos and threes, the shopkeeper sat down on the stool opposite the Orion and said with emotion: "That's true. Back then, I was a Orion for a while, and later I caught a deer of excellent quality. After selling it, I changed this store, and since then it has taken root in this city a little bit.”

"The shopkeeper is really lucky. It's rare to find prey that can be exchanged for this shop." Orion's eyes were full of envy.

For some reason, the old shopkeeper kept shaking his hands tucked into his sleeves, and couldn't help saying, "It's okay, it's okay, God rewards us with food."

The man who finished drinking the rice porridge smiled at the opposite cabinet and said, "I'm a little thirsty on the way, so I'll go get another bowl."

"I'll do it." The shopkeeper hurriedly stood up, knocking down the stool behind him because of his movement too fast, and made a soft noise.

The man who went to the city to sell prey with the villagers waved his hands carelessly and said: "No, it's not the first day here, and they are regular customers. I'll go and fill a bowl myself."

When Orion entered the back room, the shopkeeper trembled slightly and lifted up the stool to sit down. Yun Musheng smiled faintly behind him and said, "What's on your mind, the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper in rough sackcloth turned his head abruptly, and avoided the young man's eyes after realizing that he had overreacted, and said, "No, I have nothing to worry about.

The sun was rising outside the house, and the wind was hot. After a while, the shopkeeper felt that his back was a little sticky. He stretched out his hand to try it on his neck, and his old fingers were covered with sweat.

The boy didn't say anything anymore, and lowered his head to eat the steamed buns. Some old tables had many cracks, but the shopkeeper must also be a clean person. Some old tables were clean without a trace of oil.

The woman in white sitting opposite the boy still had her eyes slightly closed, and she only turned her head once since entering the room. Other than that, there was no other change.
