Crossing the Datang Restaurant

Rong Yushu frowned, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he looked at Cui Pinqian.

"Tang Guang is very lucky. It is his ability to find this place. I sold the test questions. I never fight unprepared. I am in an invincible position." Cui Pinqian began to draw the words that were not completed before, stroke by stroke, raising and dropping his hand, it was all a different feeling.

Rong Yushu stood beside him, with rain and cold wind blowing from the window, making him feel cold all over his body, he took a step forward, his eyes were slightly sharp, and he said expressionlessly: "So you will Send me a copy, if something really happens, you can drag me into the water, right?"

"Yes, your fate can be regarded as in my hands." Cui Pinqian still had the look of knowing it clearly, with the corners of his eyes curled up, as if to show off.

Rong Yushu suddenly smiled, and the smile on his face gradually subsided, and he said, "You think highly of me."

Cui Pinqian bent his head, looked at him, and said, "Tang Guang likes you, so naturally he can do something for you."

Rong Yushu glanced at him lightly, and said, "I know, I don't need you to remind me."

Cui Pinqian stood up, walked in front of him gradually, looked at him straight in the eyes, even the reflection inside could be seen clearly, and said: "I remember, what I said before, I hope you You can help me." Cui Pinqian's tone was very sincere, and then he waited for his answer.

"Why do you think that if you slap a person, he will stretch out his right cheek and let you slap him?" Rong Yushu retorted.

"Throughout the ages, power and gold have always been in the hands of a few people, even including one or two dynasties. Otherwise, there would be no nine-rank center system established by Wei Wendi Cao Pi to win over the gentry. I have heard that Mr. Wei Zheng I once persuaded Emperor Taizong, saying 'Water can carry a boat and also overturn it', I think it is very right, an emperor, if everyone opposes him, he will not be an emperor."

Rong Yushu was a little bit heartbroken when he heard it, and for some reason he thought of Emperor Sui Yang of the previous dynasty. Every emperor could not be perfect, but his mistakes seemed to be infinitely magnified.

"If ordinary people are small water droplets, then we are like turbulent waves. When one wave hits, you may not fall, but what about the second wave? Can you guarantee that the future of the Tang Dynasty has always been grasped With us, it never changes."

Cui Pinqian turned around and looked at Rong Yushu with burning eyes, as if waiting for his reply.

Rong Yushu narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said: "You say that, do you want me to help you, or the Cui family?"

Cui Pinqian just looked at him, smiled, and didn't speak.

Rong Yushu suddenly changed his expression, wiped his nose, seemed to be indifferent, and said, "Do you know why I hate you gentry so much?"

Cui Pinqian made a slightly raised brow expression, waiting for the answer.

"I think it should be inherited from the ancestors." Rong Yushu tilted his head and continued: "Back then, grandfather Rongbi was tasked with raising gold and silver for the construction of the Grand Canal, and in the end he chose to start with the eight noble families at that time. Rong Yushu looked at Cui Pinqian's expression, he didn't seem to have much surprise, so he continued:

"Of course it wasn't my grandfather's idea. It was the idea of ​​Emperor Sui Yang at that time. He made up his mind to attack the gentry, probably because he felt that your gentry were too arrogant. If things go on like this for a long time, I'm afraid he won't report it. .”

"Although I think that because of him, my grandfather ended up losing all his family wealth, but I think it's good that he has the courage to move you." Rong Yu wrote looking at him expressionlessly. These books are all from a book he found in Uncle Wu's study before.

Although the above is an unofficial history of the Sui Dynasty, some of it is well-founded. Although it is somewhat different from the official history, Taizong is the originator of changing the history. It is also a very pleasant thing to know some of these secrets.

Of course, in order to avoid the persecution of the gentry, my grandfather moved around, and finally settled down in Luoyang in my father's generation.

In connection with the things described above, we can roughly calculate the things of the first three generations.

Seeing Rong Yushu's mocking smile, Cui Pinqian didn't seem to mind at all, and said, "You seem to hate me very much, is it because of Tang Guang?"

Rong Yushu sighed, and said, "You really have no self-knowledge. Even without Tang Guang, it would be hard for people to know what you do."

Cui Pinqian walked to the table, poured himself a cup of steaming tea, and passed a cup to Rong Yushu by the way.

He looked at it, but didn't answer.

Cui Pinqian didn't care, looked at him with a smile, and asked: "It's just a man, compared with your bright future, who is more important?"

Rong Yushu snorted and laughed, his blood was boiling, as if a rush of hot blood rushed to the top of his head, his ears were buzzing, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his temples hurt, Rong Yushu closed his eyes and rubbed, After a while, he opened his eyes, and there was a sharp light shining in his eyes, and he said lightly: "I admit, I can't touch you, even if you framed me, there will be no difference in the result."

Rong Yushu took a deep breath, looked at him and continued: "You keep saying that you value my talent, but in the end, you just have a crush on the status of the Shaoqing of Tang Guangli Temple."

Dali Temple is a very important place. It can be said that it is in charge of the fate of most of the officials. Who hasn't done something wrong? They flatter Tang Guang because he is already the default minister of Dali Temple. With the presence of their braids and handles.

Cui Pinqian didn't even notice that the smile on his face gradually subsided, and Rong Yushu's mouth curled up into a wry smile. Like himself, it should be considered aggrieved, although he didn't know Tang Guang What exactly did he talk about with Cui Pinqian, but he could almost guess it.

Rong Yushu looked up at the still gray weather outside, and sighed, he didn't expect to be reduced to this level, then looked at him with calm eyes and said: "Just do what you want Well, but it’s only this time, not every chance.”

He didn't pick up the teacup Cui Pinqian was holding in his hand, he glanced indifferently, turned around and left, when he was about to go out, he stopped suddenly, turned his head, looked back, his brows were slightly frowned, and he wanted to say something But he didn't say anything, and then he held up his umbrella and went out without looking back.

It was cloudy and rainy, and the drizzle blew to the side with the wind, wet the clothes, after Rong Yushu went out, he didn't know where to go, and for the first time a little bit of confusion rose in his heart.

The sound of a shift came from next to his ear, Rong Yushu lowered his head and thought for a while, then walked towards the imperial city.

It's not morning yet, it's still early, and I called a carriage, but I only dared to drive to a place close to it, absolutely not daring to get even half a step closer.

Rong Yushu expressed his understanding. From here, the Suzaku Avenue was straight and you could almost see the imperial city in the distance. Walk towards the imperial city.

Walking on both sides, the misty mist made the figure a little blurry. Although the imperial city in the distance was visible, it took another effort to walk there. Taking advantage of this time, the gate of the imperial city slowly opened. One after another, people in official uniforms came out, chatting and laughing, watching the rain, took a carriage and walked together, picking up people for a while.

Rong Yushu tried his best to hide his body in the wind and rain, and hid under a nearby wall, carefully watching the officials who came out of the gate of the imperial city.

They passed by one after another, but they didn't see anyone they were familiar with, even Tang Lin Tang Siqing who had a relationship with him before, but he didn't see Tang Guang.

Instead, the people passing by whispered, and occasionally came up with a few words "Wang Family" and "Queen", and shook their heads from time to time.

Rong Yushu stood at a blind corner beside the road, but no one really noticed him for a while.

The crowd gradually decreased, and finally only one or two people came out, and the door was closed heavily with a "bang".

Rong Yushu was still waiting there, if it was cold, he stomped his feet and stared at the gate of the imperial city.

After about a few sticks of incense, the gate of the imperial city gradually opened, and a figure came out from inside. Because he didn't bring an umbrella, his body was drenched by the light rain as soon as he came out.

Rong Yushu recognized Tang Guang immediately, and his spirit came up immediately. He wanted to send the umbrella over, but stopped for some reason.

Tang Guang also saw Rong Yushu, walked over step by step, and gradually came to the front, without any emotion in his eyes, he raised his hand.

Immediately, he closed his eyes nervously, and blurted out a word: "Don't slap your face."

But he felt a hand touching the back of his head, moving forward and then reaching his chest.

A faint sigh came from the top of his head, and he said, "I don't blame you for this matter, why did I beat you?"

Rong Yushu's movement of raising the umbrella remained unchanged, and the two hugged each other in a tender posture. Rong Yushu's eyes turned red for some reason, he opened his mouth, and finally said only one sentence, "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." Sensing the abnormality of the eyes, Rong Yushu felt a little ashamed, but Ben's reaction in his body was even stronger.

Tang Guang comforted: "I really don't blame you. Not only Cui Pinqian, but also Princess Chengyang was involved in this matter. The situation between the court and China is sophistry. It’s just a battle, the Holy One has long been thinking about taking the gentry, but this time it’s just that the Wang family was unlucky and bumped into it.”

Rong Yushu kept silent with a face like a bun, and separated the two. Because Tang Guang was a little taller, he grabbed the paper umbrella, hit it on the top of his head, and said, "Let's go."

Along the way, neither of them spoke.

Arriving at Uncle Wu's house, the moment he opened the door, he had adjusted his mood a long time ago, but when he turned to look at him, he felt a little guilty, and blurted out "Sorry" again, following the sound of the wooden door closing, , isolated Tang Guang to the outside.

Tang Guang didn't show any expression, took the umbrella, turned and left.

One month later, the long-postponed exam finally started again in the Southern Tribute Academy of the Ministry of Rites. There were about two thousand exams, one by one.

The style of the question this time is completely different from the previous ones, and the question type is also not similar. I think it is a disadvantage I suffered before, so I changed it from the outside to the inside.

However, those who are really capable, no matter what the method is, can win the top spot and have a brilliant literary talent.

And Rong Yushu, after finishing the exam, did not stay to wait for the result. He just told Uncle Wu that he was not allowed to stay in Chang'an because of a sudden illness.

Rong Yushu has always been very grateful to these kind old people, so he left a small sum of money as a thank you for the care of the sun and the moon.

When he left, he didn't talk to anyone, he packed up and saluted, and in the morning when dusk rose, he quietly walked to the ferry outside the city.

Walking out of Chang'an City, looking at the plaque above the head with the word Chang'an on it, I feel deeply melancholy.

I have suffered so many losses in Chang'an, and I have fallen so many times, but I didn't get anything back. The feeling of powerlessness makes me feel even more... Forget it, let's not talk about it, I still go back Live your life.

Rong Yushu left Chang'an City without looking back, and the three master and servant walked towards the big ship.
