Chaoyuan Road

"You already knew about Huashan?" Yang Jian took the tea cup that Cun Xin handed over, and asked with a shallow mouthful.

The dragon girl nodded and said, "It's just a little earlier than you. Suzhou Baihua Garden and Huashan Notre Dame Temple both have ear-reporting performances, but it's not as detailed as Taishan." She looked at Yang Jian with a little embarrassment, "I thought, this way For big matters, Yang Chan will discuss with you first. Your brother and sister have always talked about everything, so why should I complain? It’s just..." Cun Xin lowered her head, looked at the snow-white tea soup in the justice cup, and said after a long while: " I blamed me for not being aware of it for a while, but Changrong discovered Mount Tai's secret report and presented it to Tian Nu, so to speak, it was almost because of me."

Yang Jian shook his head: "Third sister did not hide her actions, and made this matter known to everyone. Even if Liu Changrong doesn't sell me, do you think Tiannu doesn't know?" He drank the tea in his cup and said: "I used to go to Huashan I have also seen the scholar surnamed Liu several times, and I have also shot him away. I never thought that the third sister was... I left her in the cold, and left her alone in Huashan, so..." Yang Jian sighed In one breath, I didn't say any more.

Longnu refilled a cup of tea for him, opened her mouth to say something, but finally held back.She felt that the root cause of this matter could not be blamed on Yang Jian anyway—what Yang Chan wanted was for Yiyi to hold hands and thin the thrush eyebrows, even if she stayed by her brother's side every step of the way, would she be relieved of her loneliness and self-pity?But Yang Jian blamed himself very much at the moment, and Cun Xin couldn't help but feel sorry for him, so he could only comfort him: "You did the right thing. If it wasn't like this, if Tian Nu took her husband and wife and made use of it, not only your third sister would suffer even more , Maybe you will be tired and lose your official position, and who will protect her at that time? Let's just mess around now, maybe there will be a turning point at some point, it's better than being like the seventh princess, facing the wall at the end of the Milky Way for the rest of her life."

Yang Jian's mood seemed to be better, and he took a look at Cun Xin and said, "You shouldn't come to see me at this time. Wouldn't it be suspicious if you were seen by others?" Seeing the question, Long Nu smiled and said, "I've been through this, but Those who have crossed the bright road." Said one end, and pulled out a bright yellow silk from his sleeve.

It turns out that in recent years, because the Emperor Han was fatuous and indulged the eunuchs in power, thieves and thieves sprang up, the people were displaced, and there were complaints all over the world.Fan Xu, a scholar in the lower realm, openly overturned the altar, trampled on the fragrant fruit, scolded Haotian for being immoral at the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky, and sent down faint rulers and thieves to harm the common people.The Jade Emperor was so angry that his beard stood on end, and he was so angry that he wanted to send that lifeless scholar into the [-]th level of hell.It was the Queen Mother who persuaded him a few words, meaning that the Heavenly Court didn't need to come forward to argue with a mortal in person, it was just a decree to the underworld to take him for a few years.The master of Yuqing Palace was in a fit of anger, and he was not willing to obey, so he immediately forced Cunxin to draft an order, summoning the judicial god to descend to the mortal world in person, and bring this wild scholar to heaven for the imperial trial.

Cun Xin hadn't written yet, but Tian Nu said in a high-pitched voice beside him: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. If you want to say that our Lord God is good at everything, there is only one thing - he can't see the suffering of scholars. It's no wonder that Zhenjun came from a scholarly background. Family status, it is right to be closer to scholars." Hearing this, the Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Whatever you want?" Tian Nu then said, "Actually, there is no need to work hard for the real king, just to catch a scholar. The old slave will just send someone there."

"Your man is not successful!" The Queen Mother said, "You go down, and you will show your feet as soon as you open your mouth. How can you get someone? Besides, this is a mission of the prison. You are the same as an internal officer, so it is not appropriate to have the executive power on your behalf." She winked at the dragon girl who was listening quietly while holding a pen, and Cun Xin understood, quickly put down the brush and said: "Your Majesty, it's better for the servants to go with the real king, or to mention something from the side." The Jade Emperor was speechless. , still out of breath, took Tiannu to Yuyi Tower without mentioning it.

Here, Cun Xin smiled and handed the silk to Yang Jian, and said: "Master Zhongshu ordered me to make sure to find out your mistakes and write a detailed report to let him know." Yang Jian took the silk and scanned it After a few glances, the expression on his face was no longer as gloomy as before, he only frowned and said: "The temple has pressed a lot of documents these days, and I have to read them one by one before I can distribute them... Tomorrow, tomorrow night , I’ll go to Yangzhou with you.” The dragon girl got up, packed the tea set and was about to leave, Yang Jian looked at her back and suddenly asked: “Just now you entered the magic circle by mistake, why didn’t you call for help?”

Cun Xin looked back and said with a smile: "Since Lao Liu sent me to find the real king, it is obvious that you are here, you will not just let me die?" Kuu turned around, picked up the white porcelain wine bottle, shook his hands, and saw that there was still a small half bottle in it, because he said: "I was also good at drinking when I was in the West Sea, but since I went to the heaven, I was detained by them. Come on, don't drink at all. Since Zhenjun has such a good thing, why don't you let me go!" After speaking, without waiting for Yang Jian's answer, he raised his head and drank the rest of the wine, then turned and left.

Yangzhou, July and a half.

The sky is not yet dark. In the evening, beside the Yudai River, green willows surround the embankment, and the level is like a mirror. On the low small stone bridge, people walking to and fro are like walking on a huge copper mirror. From time to time, there are a few mallard ducks paddling. However, it broke the picturesque tranquility.The Obon Festival just passed yesterday, and there are still a few lotus lanterns in the bend of the river that have not been carried away by the currents, shrouded in the just-rising twilight, faintly visible.

As the moon gradually reached its height, a painting boat came slowly from the clear and fresh water. A scholar at the bow stood facing the wind, wearing a thunder scarf and a straight train, with two thin belts hanging on his bony shoulders. The wind blows.He stared blankly at the moon shadow on the river, muttering something in his mouth, thoughtful.

"Sir!" Someone on the shore called.When the scholar looked at it, he saw a man in white standing under the tree, waving towards him, followed by a girl in a goose yellow skirt, who was also looking around on tiptoe.The scholar hurriedly asked the boatman to come to the shore, and heard what the man said, his brother and sister had just arrived here from Bazhong, and before visiting friends, the sister made a fuss and came out to enjoy the moon. Unfortunately, all the boats around were taken by others, and only this one is still in existence. The shore is not far.The man apologized and said: "I don't know whether Mr. Unknown can allow the two of us to ride together. In terms of boat fare, Mr. Yang should be generous." Seeing that he looks good, the scholar spoke very earnestly, and brought a young girl with him , not like a bad person, he readily agreed.

These two people are Yang Jian and Cun Xin, pretending to be brothers and sisters to meet the scholar Fan Xu.Longnu had never done such an errand, and before meeting the scholar, she had asked Yang Jian what his plans were, but Xiansheng Zhenjun only said "we will talk about it after meeting the person", so she didn't want to ask more.In fact, Cun Xin didn't really care what happened to this scholar, she had been to Yangzhou many times when she was in the mortal world, and she knew that there are jade waters and spiritual mountains with pearl curtains, and she thought that if she could teach Yang Jian to relieve some worries, it would not be a bad thing.

When he got on the boat, sat down and chatted, Cun Xin was surprised - that Fan Sheng was only in his thirties, but he was quite knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he was actually a man full of pearls and talents.It's okay to show the sage and the real monarch, but the dragon girl has rarely had such leisure in the past few days, so she became playful and wanted to pay more attention to the examination of the scholar's knowledge.She was about to open her mouth, but she heard someone on the shore calling again: "Benefactor Fan! Donor, stay here, and go after accepting the post!"
