happy life through time

Along the way, the little beggar explained to Tong Yan everything around him very carefully, as long as he saw it under his nose, he could tell it.

Moreover, what the little beggar said was right, he did have a deep understanding of everything in the capital, and he deserved to be someone who has lived in the capital since he was a child.

If it were someone else, such as Wu Tong, Tong Yan would have guessed after seeing Wu Tong's performance just now, if he chose Wu Tong, Wu Tong would definitely ask for money when he asked some questions, Just because he doesn't know the capital, he will give him a hard meal, but the little beggar is different, as long as Tong Yan asks, he will know everything, except for some unspeakable secrets, otherwise Tong Yan will tell you everything. Ask a question and he will answer patiently and happily.

Tong Yan's troubled heart seemed to relax a little.

Tong Yan stayed in an ordinary inn in the capital, then got up to inquire about the news, and wrote a letter back by the way.

He was far away in the capital, and he couldn't return to Anle County or Jiangzhou in a short time. Now that he was safe, he naturally couldn't worry his family members.

Soon, he knew the location of Li Subaran's residence, but Tong Yan didn't rush forward to join Li Subaran.

In his current state of being alone, Li Subaruan said that it will be helpful for him to pass the exam, but the key point is that he has failed the exam, and it is not certain whether he will be able to enter the Li family smoothly. , Tong Yan decided to support himself.

After staying for a few days, Tong Yan threw out a lot of money as if he didn't care at all. He inquired about a lot of things in the capital, and also knew where the various factions in the capital are, which people to make friends with, and those people who can't be messed with. As a Yanjing native, what he said was only a little bit, but it was enough.

The most sensational news in the capital today is that the envoys from the North Vietnam Kingdom are coming to Yanjing. In short, they are here to communicate for the peaceful coexistence of the two countries.

Two years ago, Dayan originally had the will to launch a war against North Vietnam.The Beiyue Kingdom is very small, only one-fifth of that of the Great Yan Kingdom, but because of the strength of the North Vietnamese army, one soldier outnumbers the three of the Great Yan's soldiers, and it is not so easy for the Great Yan to win over the North Vietnam.

But Dayan didn't care, because Dayan has a lot of troops, and it's nothing to fear against a small country in North Vietnam.

At that time, Emperor Dayan was still hesitating whether to attack North Vietnam, but in the middle, the eleven princes were robbed and became the hostages of North Vietnam. Dayan immediately postponed the plan to attack North Vietnam.

Now, two years have passed, and it is very likely that Dayan will give up the eleventh prince. They have to take countermeasures before that, so this time, they should come to seek peace.

As Nangong Xiaochen said, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the capital, Tong Yan seemed to be able to see the extraordinary person without going anywhere, but he didn't intentionally provoke him, and he was quiet in the capital all the time, just like An ordinary person is average, except that he spends more money, but even so, he still hasn't heard any news about Liu Dafu.

Tong Yan was very worried. He wanted to get up and go to Jiangzhou, but even if he went fast, it would take at least half a month's journey. He didn't know what would happen in this half month, so he decided to stay in Yanjing and ask Zheng Yuhao to help Look for Liu Dafu and others, and if you find them, tell them that you are safe, so that they don't have to worry, and also tell them the news that you are in the capital.Sometimes, when he was irritable, he would go to the teahouse to listen to the scriptures he had written. While listening, he would be distracted, and he would not even look at the cup in his hand. If he read it seriously, he would It was discovered that it was a cup designed by him. Now, the production of this kind of cup has belonged to the royal family. Except for the imperial merchant, no one can sell this kind of cup, nor can it be manufactured at will. This is all thanks to Li Subaruan, and the price is very cheap. Per cup, the price is comparable to the price of a bowl.

But Tong Yan, he doesn't know anything.

Seeing that several days had passed in the capital, Tong Yan knew some things about the capital and how to stay in the capital, so he finally decided to visit Li Maoran.

I chose a sunny and sunny day, handed in the greeting card, and went to see Li Subaruan.

From the outside, Li's mansion looks majestic and majestic. When you get close, you can feel the majesty of the mansion.

Tong Yan sighed in his heart, but when he visited, he explained to the guard what he wanted to do but was blocked by the guard.

"What's the matter now? Any cat or dog wants to see the master? Let me tell you, our master is not something people like you can see. It's best to get out of here quickly and don't hinder me waiting, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"

Tong Yan frowned, but still had a pleasant face, and took out a book from his arms, which was of course a new book from Honghuang, which had not yet been released.

Tong Yan approached the guard, took out the book, shook it in front of the guard, and said slowly: "This is a new book by chance, or a new one, please let me know." Pay a certain amount of money and hand it over to the guard.

Seeing this, the doorman nodded at Tong Yan's sensibility, his expression softened a bit, and he collected the money as if nothing had happened, knowing that the master loves the wilderness the most, and they also like it very much. Seeing that this book is indeed a new one, although He wanted to see it, but the master hadn't seen it yet, of course he couldn't open it, and was anxious to claim credit, the guard said casually, "Then I will reluctantly inform the master for you."

"Thank you, big brother."

Tong Yan waited at the door for less than a quarter of an hour, and Manager Liu of Li's Mansion came out, and the guard who went in to report just now also came out together, but his complexion seemed not very good, and Tong Yan didn't care.

"Director Liu." The guard said.

Mr. Liu glanced at the doorman with an unkind expression, and the doorman flinched for a while, not daring to speak any more.

Director Liu looked at Tong Yan, and said with a smile: "Liu is ashamed, he didn't know he was Mr. Tong, it's really a crime, a crime."

"Mr. Liu, do you know me?"

Mr. Liu shook his head, and quickly scanned Tong Yan with his eyes wisely, but Tong Yan didn't notice it for a while. Mr. Liu said: "The master said a long time ago that if an outsider comes to visit with Honghuang's new book , we must entertain you well."

Tong Yan nodded, his face was full of joy, and he returned to normal in just a moment, but he was grateful in his heart: "My lord has a heart, and I am very grateful."

Seeing that Tong Yan is not humble and does not say a word, he behaves politely, no less than a son of a family. Even if he came from a small place, when he knows that he is valued by the master, although he is happy but still polite, let alone being arrogant because of it, he can't help but nod. Appreciation appeared in his expression: "Master Tong is in the palace and has not returned yet. Please forgive me, Mr. Tong. Please come to the mansion and wait for a while."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to invite Tong Yan into the house.

Tong Yan smiled and said, "Please!"

The two entered Li's Mansion together. The exquisite Li's Mansion was quite different from the mansions they usually see.Serious and solemn, there is no elegant and extravagant setting inside, and there is no quiet small courtyard for people to rest and play. Tong Yan feels as if he has entered a well-disciplined territory, and people can't help but become serious.

There are very few servants in the courtyard, even the maids, it seems that most of them will have two or three tricks, although not everyone is strong, but the maids here are all agile, and almost every job is done. It doesn't repeat itself, or there are redundant movements. It can be seen at a glance that it has been trained very well, and the only one who can train the family members to look like this is probably only Li Dashi.

The mansion is very large, simple and elegant. At first glance, the area that should have been the courtyard has been shoveled into flat ground, and a martial field has been built, with a field marked out on it. Tong Yan walked all the way, the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

But also because of this, I have respect for Li Subaru, if someone else's yard was made like this, they would have been criticized long ago, but Li Subaru is fine, a good yard is like a martial arts field, to be honest, Tong Yan was really surprised.

Manager Liu looked at it and smiled calmly: "Master doesn't like things outside of him."

Tong Yan glanced at Mr. Liu, smiled and nodded: "Well, my lord, you are a real gentleman!"

"If the master can hear this sentence, he must be very happy, especially with your affirmation, Mr. Tong, the master will be even more delighted."

"Director Liu, don't beat me up."

The two walked into the living room talking and laughing, and Tong Yan was waiting in the living room.

After drinking three pots of tea, eating snacks, and going to the hut five times, Li Subaruan did not return until sunset.

Hearing that Tong Yan was waiting for him at the mansion for a whole day, he was immediately taken aback, but was puzzled in his heart, why did Tong Yan come to the capital to look for him at this time?According to his calculations, it should take another three or four years for him to enter the capital, but he didn't expect that in less than three or four months, he would enter the capital and find him.Could it be that something happened?With Tong Yan's character, he shouldn't come to him unless it is absolutely necessary!

Li Subaran's expression was solemn, and he went into the house to see Tong Yan before he even changed his official robe.

Tong Yan immediately got up and bowed respectfully to Li Subaruan: "The student has met Mr. Li."

"Don't be too polite, get up!"

"Thank you sir." Tong Yan got up and stood aside when Li Subaruan was sitting on the main seat.

Li Subaran pointed to the chair on the right, and Tong Yan nodded and sat on it.

Li Subaruan looked at the new book that Tong Yan brought, Tong Yan didn't dare to interrupt him, and sat aside quietly waiting for a whole day, he didn't care about the time.

When Li Subaran finally raised his head, Tong Yan sat upright and immediately showed a respectful expression.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Subaruan bluntly said that he didn't need any kind of opening remarks, let alone a so-called draft, and went directly to the topic.

Tong Yan was stunned for a moment, blinking his eyes before realizing that the excuse he had prepared was wiped out instantly, Tong Yan could only smile wryly and said: "Lord Li doesn't know something, the student failed the exam, returned home frustrated, was hijacked halfway, unfortunately Separated from his wife and many other friends, after many twists and turns, he finally escaped, but he never thought that after escaping, he found that he was already in Pinghu, not far from Yanjing. I really don’t want to come to Yanjing to have a look, I heard that Master Li lives in Yanjing, so Tong Yan licked his face and came here to see him, he was rude, please forgive him.” Tong Yan didn’t say anything After all, even though he respects Li Subaruan, he cannot fully trust him. His purpose today is to enter the Li Manor and get out safely, so that people know that he is being treated with courtesy in the Li Manor.There was no need to do other things, therefore, knowing that Li Subaruan was in the palace, he would not be able to return for a while, so he waited here.

Every dignitary in Yanjing is an important person who attracts people's attention, and Li Maoran is no exception. When Tong Yan leaves Li's residence, someone will know about Tong Yan.

So Tong Yan did this on purpose for others to see. Since he came to Yanjing, he will stay in Yanjing for a while, but he can't stay in Yanjing because of inaction.
