Bright moon out of Tianshan

Ding Wuxia said: "My father is cautious and conscientious, the lower officials dare not ask."

Gao Huai said slowly: "The chief examiner is still Prime Minister Yun, and there are many deputy chief examiners, including my elder brother, General Liang Fei, General Yang Baozhen, and me and Ding Shangshu."

When he mentioned the eldest prince, Xiao Jian's expression froze obviously. Gao Huai saw it and said, "He won't be there for a long time." If you want to hurry to get busy with your own important affairs, you will not stay in the big school for a long time.

Xiao Jian was relieved when he heard that, his eyes turned around Gao Huai, and he made up his mind.It has already been rumored in the capital that the First Prince and the Third Prince are going to go out this time. Judging from his current situation, if he passes the martial arts test, he definitely cannot fall into the hands of Gao Hong, and can only choose to mix with the Third Prince.Xiao Jian quickly judged the situation, and ignored the past festivals between the two, and his words began to taste flattering.Seeing a hint of depression on Gao Huai's face, he said, "The other day at Liting Biye, He Mian told me a strange thing. He said that when Master Lin visited his Yanmo Hall for the first time, he planted a plant in the backyard. A tree named Tamarix, I wonder if Your Highness has heard of it?"

Gao Huai said: "It is said that it is a tree in the north. I have never been to the north."

Xiao Jian continued: "I haven't been there either. I heard from He Mian that the tree grew bigger and bigger. Hall Master He thought it blocked the sunlight of other flowers and plants, so he wanted to get rid of it and called all the people in the hall to help. , the tree is too big to get rid of." Ding Wuxia interjected, "Is this tree a spirit? Why can't it be removed?"

Xiao Jian said: "No, it's just that the tree is too big. Then one day, my elder brother came over and saw them working hard to remove the tree, so he said, "My third son, take those pots you collected. Give me the good wine to drink, and I will pull out this tree for you, so that you can experience the kung fu of big brother."

"Mr. He had no choice but to take out the wine. The hall master drank several jars of wine in one go, and then went to find a place to sleep. Hall master He said: 'Brother, why are you going?' The elder brother said, 'Back pain Ah, I didn't expect to drink wine and my back hurts, go to bed! Alas, this young man spares no effort, and he has no strength when he is old!'”

Hall Master He was anxious and asked, "What about the tree?"You promised to help me remove the tree! The hall master just remembered this matter, walked up to the tree, thumped his back, stretched out his hand, and pulled the tree out. "

This time it was Wei Young who said: "Impossible, how big a tree was pulled out all at once?"

Xiao Jian said: "Brother's martial arts is very powerful, it's not like you don't know it. Then suddenly there was a gust of evil wind, and the bones of the tree flew out. Hall Master He was startled. He planned to give the purple-eyed fox the tree when he removed it. Making furniture for dowry..." Wei Young interrupted again: "Dowry? Who will she marry? Who dares to take her? Why don't you marry me, I think she always loves to pester you..." Xiao Jian said: " I have no money, and I can't afford to marry her! Sister, don't interrupt, okay? Listen to me!"

"The tree rolled and rolled, and it rolled into a ravine. There happened to be someone sitting and eating in the ditch. This person is very well-known in the Jianghu. , As soon as he saw the tree, he said, "Oh, I was worried that there would be no food for rice, but this food came here. God has eyes!" He picked up the tree with his chopsticks and ate it."

Wei Yang said: "Tian Tian, ​​I can tell you the rest. From now on, the dinner table in Yan Mo Hall is filled with beef every day. He Laosan couldn't stand it after eating it for a few days, so he asked the cook why he eats it every day. What about the beef? The cook said that there are too many dead cows on the street, blocking the way to buy vegetables, so I have to eat it first, and I may not be able to finish it in a few years!"

Gao Huai listened carefully to half of it, and already understood that he was talking nonsense. When he heard the end, he couldn't help but smile, pointing to a plate of stewed beef on the table and said: "Maybe this is left over from that time." He smiled Gentle and serene, like peach blossoms blooming in March and catkins flying.Xiao Jian wanted to make him smile, so he rolled his eyes and said, "I don't like beef."

Ding Wuxia said: "You like to eat crab roe and lotus paste buns." Xiao Jian said: "Yes, that year I ate with Wuxia, Yaoyao, and Zhang Jingyan. Maodianyue, said that it is not allowed to treat people in Banqiaoshuang, you have to think for yourself, and if you don’t come out, you can bark like a dog. I am right about the crab roe and lotus paste buns, and the fish head tofu soup. They say I am the most neat, from After that, I was grateful and fell in love with crab roe and lotus paste buns.”

Wei Young suppressed a smile and said, "What is Mr. Wuxia right?"

Ding Wuxia turned his eyes to look at her, without speaking, Xiao remonstrated: "He is right, woof woof, woof woof, and he is very neat."

Gao Huai was drinking tea when he suddenly choked and coughed continuously. Xiao Jian hurriedly said, "What's wrong with your highness? Do you want Brother Wuxia to beat your back with his beautiful woman?" Ding Wuxia gave him a hard look, thinking : "Why don't you beat it yourself?"

Gao Huai waved his hand and said, "No need." He was depressed when he came, but now he was finally amused by their gags, and he exchanged cups and cups between words, enjoying himself.Xiao Jian tried his best to coax them to drink, Gao Huai wine was in his heart, and he was easy to get drunk, but Ding Wuxia felt sour for no reason, and accidentally drank too much wine as vinegar.The two fell asleep on the table one after the other.Wei Young was overjoyed, she was helped out by the little maid to sober up and never came back.

In the end, only Xiao Jian managed to maintain his sobriety, looked at the two people, and shouted: "Come here!" Several people came in immediately, both men and women.Xiao Jian ordered: "Help the third prince to the secret room at the back. Tonight, the guardian will guard the courtyard all night, and let Baihe and Qingyan come over to serve the bed. No mistakes can be made. As for my brother-in-law, send him to the next door, who cares?" No one can come near, especially the girls. Let him sleep by himself!"

Baihe and Qingyan are upright officials in Cuixiu Academy. Their skin is as beautiful as snow, their appearance is as beautiful as a flower, they are smart and elegant, and their social status is very high.Xiao Jian also had good intentions and wanted to get rid of the son and grandson of the dragon, so he took all the treasures of the township of Cuixiu Academy.If Wei Young, who knows the world well, was here, he would definitely stop him, but it's a pity that Wei Young is not here.

In the early morning of the second day, the hardworking Xiao Jian always got up at five o'clock, so he took advantage of the opportunity to wake up Ding Wuxia who was sleeping late, and went to the back garden to let him practice martial arts with him.Ding Wuxia said in a daze: "I can't even beat Yaoyao, you asked me to fight you, do you want me to be beaten on purpose?"

Xiao Jian said: "Then I can't find anyone, what do you say?"

Ding Wuxia suddenly looked at Xiao Jian not far behind, and said in a low voice: "It is said that the third prince is very good at martial arts, please beg him to come and challenge you. Then he will come."

Xiao Jian hurriedly turned his head, but was surprised when he saw Gao Huai approaching.In the twilight of the morning, Gao Huai's hair and clothes were disheveled, obviously he hadn't washed yet, but his face was extremely cold and ugly, unlike the gentle and tranquil appearance last night.For a split second, Xiao Jian thought he had returned to the miserable time when the two first met, when he beat and scolded him.He hadn't turned his mind around yet, but suddenly a white shadow flashed in front of his eyes, Xiao Jian couldn't dodge it in time, there was a crisp slap, and he was slapped on the face.

Then Gao Huai turned around and walked away, but Xiao Jian was stunned by him, Lian Ding Wuxia was stunned together, the two stood blankly for a while, Xiao Jian just realized, he was ashamed and angry, and he was inexplicable, Angrily said: "What's the matter? I'm so kind, you just don't appreciate it, why are you still beating people? Do you still have the king's law in the Eastern Qi Dynasty?" He wanted to rush forward to argue, but Ding Wuxia hurriedly stopped He whispered: "Isn't the law of the king determined by others?"

Gao Huai woke up in the morning and found two women crowded around him.He couldn't smell the smell of makeup and powder, remembering that the two of them squeezed together with him all night, they were so disgusted that they vomited out the overnight meal, and he couldn't remember what he had done.Seeing that he was vomiting, the two women hurriedly waited on him, but Gao Huai unceremoniously pushed him aside, and said coldly, "Who told you to come?"

Qing Yan timidly said: "It's Young Master Xiao, he asked the servants to take good care of His Highness. But..." Gao Huai didn't wait for her to finish, he got up and went to find Xiao Jian, and then he couldn't help it, and started again.

He left after beating, very simply and neatly.But he heard Xiao Jian still shouting behind him, once again his anger rose from his heart, he turned around and turned back, and suddenly came to Xiao Jian's face, stretched out his hand and grabbed his jaw, his eyes were full of anger: "I will try to please you next time." My lord, you can come and serve the bed in person!"

Gao Huai is a gentle and cautious person, never claiming to be the king in front of others, today he was so angry that he started to speak without choice.Xiao Jian was completely frightened by him, and he didn't know how to hide when his chin was caught, but he saw Gao Huai flicked his sleeves and left angrily again.

Gao Huai had gone away, Xiao Jian covered his face with his hand, he said in anger, "Why is everyone in the Gao family like this?" Suddenly remembered something, hurried to the room where Gao Huai was resting last night, and looked at Qingyan. He Baihe stood in the room with a look of panic, and he said: "How did you two serve His Highness the Third Highness last night, causing him to get up in the morning and lose his temper?"

Qingyan burst into tears with grievances, and said: "We obeyed the young master's order and wanted to take good care of him, but he wouldn't even let me touch him, and he would beat people in his sleep! Young master, look at my forehead, it's still swollen "Xiao Jian looked at her forehead, it was indeed bruised and swollen, he couldn't help feeling sorry for her, so he stretched out his hand to rub it for her a few times.When Lily saw it, she quickly acted like a baby: "Master, look at my face, I was also hit by him."

Seeing that Xiao Jian couldn't get rid of it anymore, he said with a downcast face, "Rub it yourself, my young master's face hasn't been rubbed by anyone yet!"

Wei Young heard the news and rushed to the door of the room. After she had figured out the whole story, she stared intently at Xiao Jian's face for a while, and said softly: "Tian Tian, ​​sister just found out today that you are really a genius! Come on, we How about rubbing your face?"

On the second day, Xiao Jian was dressed in black, with a dark gray collar and hem, and a treasured sword on his waist. He was handsome and elegant, with a fly in the ointment, and there was a faint palm print on his face. , Participate in the second item of this martial arts test: riding and archery.
