I am in heaven, but the whole world loves me [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 41 The Arrogant and Willful Little Prince of the Champion
Master Wang felt that Wang Minzhi was a man after all, even if he had been trained by him, it could be regarded as paving the way for his future official career, so he didn't think there was anything wrong, and when he heard Mrs. Wang speak cautiously, he was very indifferent Shaking his head: "I think Min Zhi should have dealt with his mentality a long time ago, isn't it just that the prince said a few words, what's the big deal? The prince is a measured person. Although he seems to be willful, he can't If you do something that endangers Min Zhi's safety, maybe you will still be treated with good food and drink."
Although Mrs. Wang felt quite reasonable after listening to Master Wang's words, she still couldn't stop the worry in her heart, so she took the initiative to ask the servant how Wang Minzhi was feeling when he came back.
The one who brought Wang Minzhi back was the servant that Master Wang and Mrs. Wang were very fond of. He hurriedly shook his sleeves, saluted Mrs. Wang, and then tried his best to recall the time when Wang Minzhi returned to the palace. , the state of getting off the carriage.
"Young Master's complexion is still ruddy, and it hasn't lost much color. He just looks very sleepy, but he still firmly grasps the small backpack in his hand. I don't know what precious treasure is inside..."
Before the servant finished his sentence, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to look around the front hall, and found the package that Wang Minzhi casually threw here on the table.
She hesitated for a moment, wondering if Wang Minzhi would be angry if she rashly opened the package.
But the curiosity and worry in her heart got the upper hand again, making Mrs. Wang hesitate for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth when Master Wang came over: "Just unpack Min Zhi's package, if it doesn't work, just restore it to its original state! "
Before Mr. Wang could stop him, Mrs. Wang untied the knot on the top of the package, and the fine silk slipped down the corner of the table like water, revealing a dozen of papers hidden inside.
Master Wang noticed something sharp-eyed, so he took a step forward, reached out and took a piece of paper to examine it for a while, and finally took a deep breath: "How could Min Zhi write so many impressions and comments?"
Mrs. Wang is also a lady who is good enough to match the Wang family. Although she is not proficient in everything in the Four Books and Five Classics, she is no different from a man, but she has also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, so she can naturally understand what Wang Minzhi wrote.
At this time, she couldn't hold back the surprise in her heart, and stretched out her hands to hold a piece of paper, her tone trembling: "Minzhi...how come he loves studying so much all of a sudden?"
The two of them didn't know what was going on, but they were very relieved to see that Wang Minzhi had done a lot of learning. After all, Wang Minzhi's whole body was changed after being praised by the Holy Master himself as "the talent is no less than the previous champions". He swelled up, went out to look for flowers and ask willows all day, and did not do business at all, and he hadn't opened a book for a long time.
In this case, he was surpassed by Lu Yuanbin, who studied more diligently, and was named the champion. To be honest, it is understandable.
The Wang family is waiting for Wang Minzhi to wake up, and the young master is about to leave Sijing's post.
Seeing his family members waiting for him outside, the young master stared at Si Jing eagerly, looking very aggrieved: "My lord, I haven't read enough books in your study, can I stay with you for a while?"
Si Jing's eyelids twitched a couple of times when faced with the young master's cuteness: "Since I have made an appointment, naturally I can't break my promise. If you have a book you like, you can come over to borrow it when you have time."
After making this promise, Si Jing stretched out his hand to drive away the young master like some kind of small animal: "Let's go, let's go."
After sending the young master away, Si Jing turned around and saw Lu Yuanbin standing behind him.
He was taken aback by Lu Yuanbin, and almost fell backwards. Fortunately, Lu Yuanbin had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stretched out his hand to help him pull him, so that he was saved from the fate of being in contact with the earth.
After regaining his footing, Si Jing slowed down a bit, looked at Lu Yuanbin, and repeated what he had just said to the young master: "You should go too... If you need books in the future, you can come and borrow them, and you can go directly to the book master Just do it."
"...Okay." Lu Yuanbin took a deep look at Si Jing, then turned and left the station.
For the next period of time, Wang Minzhi was taken care of by his parents all day long. If he wanted to go out, he had to report to Mrs. Wang for permission, and he had to follow more than a dozen servants behind him.
And Lu Yuanbin also began to urgently control the order of the streets... After the imperial examination, many scholars felt that they had failed the exam, and they ran around the street like crazy, and even drank in the middle of the night, and after drinking too much, they went crazy on the street, scaring Ordinary people dare not go out.
Because of these emergencies, Lu Yuanbin was busy at work all day, and in his spare time, he even began to miss the scene of studying quietly in Si Jing's study.
Among the three, the most free and leisurely one is the young master.
The only bachelor who can barely control him is now a busy time. He doesn't go home all day and approves papers outside, so the little prince is the king at home, whatever he wants to say, whatever he wants to do.
So he went to look for Si Jing.
Si Jing's palace has almost been built. Looking down from the second floor of the teahouse, you can already see the prototype. It is estimated that it will be able to move in with a bag after some finishing work.
The young master found out that Si Jing sat on the second floor of the teahouse for half a day every day, so he went to fix a seat next to Si Jing, and accompanied him to eat and drink tea every day. She asked her to sing a love song for herself for a few taels of silver.
The singing girls are very generous, the guests rewarded her with money and asked her to sing love songs, the singing girl didn't hold back, she just plucked the strings of the pipa and opened her mouth.
Si Jing listened, her eyes didn't move, she was focused on the scenery outside the window all the time, as if she didn't notice the songs sung by the young master and the singing girl.
On this day, Lu Yuanbin was mediating a civil case and was passing downstairs of the teahouse when he heard a melodious singing from the teahouse.
He suddenly thought of the singing girl who was called upstairs by Si Jing, so he raised his head subconsciously, and saw Si Jing was leaning on his arm and looking at the situation in the palace from the wide open window on the second floor, while beside him chattered... ...isn't it the little boy?
The authorities were bewildered by the onlookers, and Si Jing might not have felt anything, but when Lu Yuanbin saw the young man looking at Si Jing, his heart started beating unconsciously. Something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
His heart was beating for a long time, Lu Yuanbin stood on the street looking at the second floor, finally hesitated, and opened his mouth to call: "Third Prince."
Hearing the voice calling him, Si Jing froze for a moment, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Lu Yuanbin standing in the middle of the road wearing a light official uniform.
"Mr. Lu, long time no see." He poked his head out to say hello, and the original still picture suddenly turned into a moving picture, "Would you like to come up and have a sip of tea?"
When the young master heard Si Jing's invitation, he gave Lu Yuanbin a hard look from the air.
But his glance not only didn't frighten Lu Yuanbin, it even made him smile: "Thanks to the love of the prince, I will go upstairs immediately."
After all, he had already reached the door of the teahouse.
The servant guarding the door saw the scene where Si Jing invited Lu Yuanbin with his own eyes, so he didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest. He enthusiastically led him up to the second floor, and specially let him sit next to Si Jing.
Si Jing glanced at the sky outside the window and saw that it was almost noon, so he smiled and asked Lu Yuanbin, "Have you thought about how to have lunch, Mr. Lu?"
Turning a blind eye to the young master's cramp-like eyes, Lu Yuanbin stretched out his hand to touch his stomach in embarrassment, and shook his head at the same time: "Not yet."
"It's just right." Si Jing glanced back at the young master, "The two of us were going to have lunch together, but we were worried that we would have too much food to finish, so it happened that Master Lu also came together."
This meal is the restaurant that the young master found all over Kyoto in order to please Si Jing. Every dish is extremely delicious. Because it is expensive and requires a queue, it has become the most difficult restaurant in Kyoto to eat.
The young master entrusted a lot of talents to have a meal they made for lunch, and he was ready to wait for Si Jing's compliment, but Lu Yuanbin suddenly came in midway, and his eyebrows were raised in anger.
After thanking Si Jing, Lu Yuanbin sat on the chair with great concentration, straightened his body and waited for lunch.
Of course he could see the little boy's dissatisfaction with him and the look in his eyes that he wished him to evaporate in place.
He also understands that the young master likes Si Jing, so he should be pursuing Si Jing.
...It's really interesting, the young master said that "the beauties in the world can't be moved by anyone", but in the end he fell into the hands of a man.
A waiter ran over and said that a lot of people came downstairs and wanted to deliver food to the prince, should they be allowed in?
Hearing this, the young master hastily stepped forward: "Come up, come up!"
After finishing speaking, he still turned to Si Jing to flatter him, and explained to him the hard-earned meal: "My lord, this restaurant is a famous bestseller in the whole of Kyoto. I asked several people to help me line up, and finally I got a Opportunity to get in."
Si Jing has also eaten at this restaurant, and thinks the taste is not bad, but since the young master has made such efforts and is still waiting for his praise, Si Jing will naturally not dampen the interest of others: " The young master actually made such a big contribution just to treat me to a meal... I feel ashamed in my heart."
After all, he used to invite the young master to dinner occasionally, that is, he just found a nearby restaurant and sent his servants to order a few dishes.
The young master was praised by Si Jing, and his whole body was full of joy, with pink bubbles.
But even at this time, he still didn't forget to give Lu Yuanbin a hard look, as if to emphasize that if he hadn't appeared, he could have a good meal with the third prince.
Lu Yuanbin pretended not to see the young master's stare, but only looked down at the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, and listened to the sound of the shop's serving dishes.
After the food was served, the three of them were relatively speechless, but it was the young master who laughed out loud first and toasted Si Jing with tea instead of wine.
"My lord, come and taste the food here, it's very delicious."
To the young master's hospitality, Si Jing responded with a smile, and then, as the young master expected, she reached out to pick up a chopstick of food and put it in her mouth, then chewed slowly.
"It tastes good." Finally, he nodded with satisfaction and gave such an evaluation.
After receiving a compliment from Si Jing, the young master blushed with joy, and the expression on his face was even happier than having won hundreds of thousands of gold: "Since the prince likes it, let's eat a few more bites."
Just as he reached out his hand to grab a bite of food for Si Jing and put it in his bowl, a pair of chopsticks suddenly stretched out from the air, directly blocking his attack.
The little boy suddenly turned his head and stared at Lu Yuanbin fiercely, while Lu Yuanbin threw the dish he had set as his target into his bowl with an innocent face, then nodded slightly to express his gratitude: "It tastes really good, Thank you son."
After the three of them fought and ate their meal, Lu Yuanbin had no reason to stay by Si Jing's side any longer, so he stood up and left hesitantly.
Hearing that he was going to leave, the young master was so happy that he seemed to jump up on the spot, and he turned directly to Si Jing: "My lord, I'll see you off, Young Master Lu."
On the way down, the young master kept looking at the road ahead, but his expression was not very good: "Mr. Lu, please don't dangle in front of me and the prince. You can't do anything but disturb people." come out."
Hearing the young master's words, Lu Yuanbin frowned, and directly retorted: "Young master's thoughts on the prince, do you think I can't see it? The prince is a noble man, so don't ask for extravagance. It’s best to stay as far away from the prince as possible, so as not to cause bad rumors because of your entanglement.”
It may be that Lu Yuanbin's words were too sharp, so that the young man who was calm at first became irritable. He turned sideways, stared into Lu Yuanbin's eyes, and curled up his mouth in disgust: " Before you teach me a lesson, I hope Mr. Lu will restrain his hobby of meddling, if you really like meddling, the frequent occurrences of family quarrels on the street are enough for you to control."
"My pursuit of the third prince is a matter between me and him. What's the relationship between our two families at most, and you, Mr. Lu? Seeing how excited you are, don't you want to join us?" Once.
In fact, if Lu Yuanbin wanted to refute, he could think of thousands of arguments, which would render the young master speechless.
But Lu Yuanbin was strangely silent, and finally just said "I'll do it for myself" and left quickly.
Only the young master was left looking at Lu Yuanbin's back, not knowing what he meant.
After being refuted by the young master, many strange emotions surged in Lu Yuanbin's heart. He wanted to sort it out after returning to his residence, and figure out why he was so eager to stop the two of them.
Unfortunately, as soon as he returned to the courtyard, Lu Yuanbin received a transfer order.
The emperor asked him to be the magistrate of a wealthy county near Kyoto.
And not long after the imperial decree was issued, many scholars who never walked with Lu Yuanbin in the past came to give him gifts and congratulations. It seemed that each of them seemed to have been brothers with him for more than ten years, and the smiles on their faces were extremely sincere. .
Based on their reactions, Lu Yuanbin guessed that this "Huan County" magistrate should be a fat vacancy.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuanbin went to inquire while packing his luggage, and found that it was indeed the case.
Huan County is notoriously difficult to manage, because many rich people who made small mistakes or offended others in Kyoto would go to Huan County to take refuge. Other counties are completely different.
But because the people in Huan County are rich, if you make the right choice, you can scrape some oil from these people.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the officials on duty in Huan County generally have two fates.
The first type, the county magistrate who has done a good job, will be completely promoted in a year or two, and will become a high-ranking official who can only be looked up to by others; Sent to a remote place, it is very difficult to return to Kyoto for the rest of his life.
Almost 50.00% chance.
After hearing this, Lu Yuanbin suddenly realized what the envious and pitiful eyes they looked at him meant.
If Lu Yuanbin did well and caught the eyes of the emperor, they would naturally be envious if he soared into the sky in the future.
But they obviously also know that Huan County is not easy to control, and if they accidentally make Huan County even more chaotic, they will end up being sent out. If there is more miasma on the road, they may die on the road directly.
Lu Yuanbin, who was originally in a calm state of mind, clenched his fists unconsciously after thinking of their eyes, and a little cold sweat dripped from his palms.
He was going on the road tomorrow afternoon, Lu Yuanbin made an appointment for the carriage, and then fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, after washing up, he sat at the table and thought about it. He took a last look at the time and found that it was still early, so he walked out of the yard and walked towards the post station.
In ancient times, unlike modern times with mobile phones and computers, Si Jing had no chance to stay up late at all, so he went to bed early and woke up early every day, full of energy and health.
When Lu Yuanbin came to visit, Si Jing had already gotten up to pack herself and was drinking porridge downstairs.
Hearing the guard's report that Mr. Lu had come to ask for a visit, Si Jing raised her eyes indifferently: "Let him in."
When Lu Yuanbin walked in, he saw that Si Jing was sipping porridge. The thick porridge had a thin layer on Si Jing's lips, which looked like a film. .
Si Jing put down the spoon in his hand, stuck out his tongue and licked off the porridge stains around his mouth, and asked, "You came to see me, what's the matter?"
"That..." Before seeing Si Jing, Lu Yuanbin had already thought about how to talk to him, but when he actually saw him, all the plans he had made in his heart disappeared, and he was like a fledgling kid. , Standing nervously on the spot for a long time, hesitated and mumbled before barely getting to the point, "My lord, I'm here to bid you farewell."
"Farewell?" During this time, Si Jing had thousands of guesses in his mind, but he never thought that Lu Yuanbin came to say goodbye to him.
He didn't know whether he was surprised that Lu Yuanbin was leaving so soon, or that Lu Yuanbin could remember to talk to him.
But Si Jing didn't show these emotions on his face, but opened his mouth slightly to express his surprise, then nodded: "Where are you going?"
"Go to Huan County near Kyoto." Knowing that Si Jing should know nothing about official affairs, Lu Yuanbin still asked boldly in order to find a topic for further communication, "Do you know what Huan County is? The place? I have inquired about it, and everyone has different opinions."
Lu Yuanbin just wanted to chat with Si Jing, but he didn't expect that Si Jing recalled the experience of the original owner, and his eyes lit up: "This king has a summer house in a mountain villa near Huan County. Whenever it is hot in summer This king will go to live there for a while, and occasionally go to Huan County for a walk."
Facing Lu Yuanbin's earnest gaze, Si Jing puffed out his chest: "I think Huan County is a lot more chaotic than the capital, but if you have the courage to manage Huan County well, you will have a lot of credit .”
What Si Jing said was useless nonsense, and basically all scholars knew that Huan County was like this.
However, Lu Yuanbin still showed a sincere expression of "so it is so", and did not forget to give a thumbs up, and praised Si Jing, "The prince is really amazing, I understand, I will definitely work hard in Huan County , strive to manage Huan County well as soon as possible.”
It's rare to see such a sincere rainbow fart, Si Jing couldn't help laughing out loud: "If the weather is still sweltering next summer, I may go to Huan County to stay for a while, and I can see you at that time."
"Yeah." Thinking about how long it would take to come back, even though Huan County is not far from the capital, and it takes about an hour to ride a horse, Lu Yuanbin still felt a little depressed.
Almost finished chatting, Lu Yuanbin stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, and added another request embarrassingly: "Third Prince, I still want to borrow some books from the Prince, but I don't know when I can return them... "
Go out to work and study?
Si Jing's eyes widened in surprise, and he stared at Lu Yuanbin until he couldn't resist Si Jing's hot gaze. He lowered his head in embarrassment and rubbed his fingertips: "Does the lord think that this little minister is too whimsical?" Oh... I know I was wrong..."
Seeing that Lu Yuanbin was about to kneel down and admit his mistake, Si Jing hurriedly raised his head to stop him: "I don't think there is anything wrong with you, but I admire you for taking office and you don't forget to study."
"Well," he felt that he was a prince anyway, and he should help the students who love to study, so he thought about it for a while and said, "This king specially sends a guard to go to your place every ten days, and send you some new books. How about getting back the old book by the way?"
Lu Yuanbin just wanted to borrow a book or two that were not very important and study them carefully, but he didn't expect Si Jing to come up with such a good idea.
He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and it seemed that the tears in his eyes were about to flow down: "Thank you, my lord!"
Si Jing stretched out his hand to stop Lu Yuanbin's prostrating body, then called the guards and asked him to lead Lu Yuanbin to the study room, and just pick out any books he wanted, since he didn't really read them anyway.
What Si Jing likes to read are story books and country legends, and they are placed in another small study next to the bedroom, which is completely separated from the big study, and the content is quite different from the big study.
In the past, Lu Yuanbin slandered Si Jing for hiding books in a study room, but he didn't read it at all. He felt that Si Jing was taking up social resources, so that scholars who had difficulty seeing these good books had no chance to learn knowledge.
But now that the person Si Jing benefited from collecting good books has become him, his emotion towards Si Jing's doing this has changed from criticism to secret joy.
Sure enough, he was just an ordinary person.
While choosing books in a daze, Lu Yuanbin pulled out his thoughts and suddenly thought of this sentence.
After choosing the books, Si Jing asked Master Shu to help wrap these books well. It would be better to use other big books to clamp these books, so as not to accidentally crush the corners of the books when he was bumping on the road up.
The book master who guards the study is also a person who cherishes books. Seeing that Lu Yuanbin cherishes them so much, he feels a little comforted, so he specially selected a few books he liked and recommended them to Si Jing, so that he can record them for next time. Come here and get it.
After finally picking out the books and wrapping them up slowly, Lu Yuanbin said goodbye to Si Jing, then stood at the door, took a final deep look at Si Jing, turned around and planned to leave.
Just when he took a step, a fairly familiar figure suddenly appeared on the corner of the street.
Lu Yuanbin was stunned for a moment, then took a step back, and stopped directly in front of Si Jing: "My lord, I will leave after a while."
"Well, what's the matter?" Si Jing looked down at him blankly, wondering why Lu Yuanbin suddenly changed his mind.
And Lu Yuanbin returned with a smile: "It's nothing, I just want to stay with the prince for a while."
After finishing speaking, the young master quickly walked up to Si Jing, and when he was still a few steps away from them, he happily called out to Si Jing: "The third prince woke up very early today!"
The young master often came to look for Si Jing, so Si Jing was very calm about this, and nodded to the young master from the air: "Well, the air is better when you get up early, so I'm going out for a stroll."
When the young master approached, he found that Lu Yuanbin was also waiting at the door.
His smile faded almost immediately: "My lord, why is Mr. Lu here?"
Facing the young master's suddenly sharp eyes, Lu Yuanbin continued to stand on the spot expressionlessly, and even leaned closer to Si Jing: "I came here to ask the prince to borrow books, so is the young master?"
"Mr. Lu is going to Huan County. He came to bid farewell to the king and borrow some books to go." Just as the young master was staring at Lu Yuanbin dissatisfied, Si Jing suddenly explained, directly explaining Lu Yuanbin's painstaking efforts. All the prepared coats were revealed.
Hearing that Lu Yuanbin was leaving the capital, the young master's unhappiness immediately faded away, and he even smiled kindly at Lu Yuanbin, and sent his sincere blessings: "Mr. Lu is a good official in Huan County, I heard that if you do well, you will be promoted easily."
As usual, when Lu Yuanbin heard someone wishing him such a blessing, no matter how unhappy Lu Yuanbin was, he would respond with a perfunctory smile.
But this time, he didn't even have an expression on his face. Since his back was turned to Si Jing, Si Jing couldn't see the change in his expression, and just glanced at the young master indifferently.
The young man understood what emotion was in Lu Yuanbin's eyes, but he was in a good mood when he thought that Lu Yuanbin was going to leave in the future, so he didn't care about being stared at a few times, and kept smiling and approaching Si Jing. , and asked him if he wanted to have breakfast together.
"The kitchen has already made breakfast for the king." Si Jing glanced back at the direction of the station, "I won't go out to eat."
Having said that, he turned around and noticed the expectant eyes of the young master, so he laughed and said, "Why don't you come and have breakfast together?"
For this, the young master naturally wished for it, but just when he turned around and was about to send Lu Yuanbin away, Lu Yuanbin also moved a bit, and then said: "I haven't eaten, can I have a meal with the prince?" ?”
Under the young master's desperate eyes, Si Jing glanced at Lu Yuanbin calmly: "Okay."
So the three of them entered the inn together, and after breakfast, Lu Yuanbin looked at the sky and felt that it was not very early, so he could only reluctantly bid farewell to the residence, and went to the residence after a little repair. He got out of the carriage and rushed to Huan County.
Sitting in the car to Huan County, Lu Yuanbin was a little nervous.
Although he looks very calm, in fact his heart has been beating rapidly, simulating various situations and problems that may be encountered in his mind.
The carriage soon arrived at its destination. Lu Yuanbin got off the carriage, stood at the gate of the county seat, and carefully looked at the appearance of the county seat.
In ancient times, the outer walls of the county town were all made of stones. There are many traces of history hanging on the stones, and the bloody storms are revealed on them.
The city walls of Huanxian County look richer, because the stones have been ground very neatly, and there are even colorful streamers hanging on some of the stones. It is estimated that the people of Huanxian County hung them on some festival.
The guards at the gate of the city checked the passers-by to make sure they didn't have anything bad on them.
Huan County is not a particularly big place, and the guards are familiar with the people who come and go frequently, so when they saw Lu Yuanbin appear, they were all stunned for a while, not knowing what he was here for.
When being inspected, one of the little guards curiously asked about his background: "Young master, I see your face, where did you come from?"
If they took out the imperial decree to show their identity, they might invite Lu Yuanbin in directly and respectfully, but Lu Yuanbin still wanted to observe the situation in the city again, so he calmed down and replied in a low voice: "I am A scholar who just finished the imperial examination, intends to come here to visit relatives, and then go home to continue studying.”
"I see." The guard nodded, indicating that Lu Yuanbin had nothing else on him and could go in.
Before leaving, one of the guards encouraged him: "Come again next time."
After entering Huan County, Lu Yuanbin looked at the scenery on both sides curiously, and felt that Huan County was indeed a well-known rich county, and most of the mansions standing beside the road were not inferior to those in Kyoto, which looked very grand.
But the streets are much more chaotic than in Kyoto.
Because he has been managing the order on the streets in Kyoto, Lu Yuanbin paid special attention to the order in Huan County, and found that there are not as many people as in Kyoto, but it is much worse than that in Kyoto. Everywhere is messy. Walking on the street, I can often hear the sound of quarreling, and I don't know who is arguing.
Having squeezed through the crowd, Lu Yuanbin heaved a sigh of relief.
For some reason, there were a lot fewer people here. Lu Yuanbin looked around, and there were only a few scattered people on the street, which formed a sharp contrast with the crowded people not far away.
What is the reason?
Lu Yuanbin looked around curiously for a while, not knowing what secrets were hidden in the suddenly empty streets that he didn't know yet.
People who passed by here were in a hurry, and two women saw Lu Yuanbin standing in the same place and looked around, and saw that he was a strange man they hadn't seen, so they reminded him in a low voice when they passed by him: "Hurry up!" Get away quickly."
Earning these words, Lu Yuanbin froze for a moment, staring at the woman's back as she left.
But the woman didn't seem to have said this sentence at all, she got into the crowd without hesitation, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Before Lu Yuanbin had time to think carefully about the specific meaning, the facts gave him the answer.
The door beside him was opened with a creak, and a row of servants came out from inside.
Lu Yuanbin was taken aback, and hurriedly took a few steps aside, lowering his head, trying to give way to this group of people.
But before he had time to say anything, he heard a woman's interested voice: "Little scholar over there, look up and let my sister see you."
Lu Yuanbin didn't realize who the woman was calling, so he looked up at her, trying to determine the direction she was looking at.
As a result, when he raised his head, he even showed his appearance to the woman, causing a look of astonishment to appear in the woman's eyes: "What a beautiful scholar!"
Her tone was a bit weird, and Lu Yuanbin frowned upon hearing it.
He stepped forward and cupped his hands: "This girl..."
In fact, it is wrong to say that it is a girl, because this woman is about 30 years old, and she looks like a charm, but in fact it is still difficult to conceal the essence of a young lady.
She was wearing heavy makeup and gorgeous clothes, and at first glance she had the aura of a brothel bustard, and this aura was even more obvious when it was set off by a few handsome maids around her.
"Don't call me a girl, I'm so lucky," the woman covered her lips and smiled lightly, and at the same time tapped Lu Yuanbin lightly in the air with her fingers painted with vermilion nails, unexpectedly she really showed a bit of charm out of thin air during the day "Just call me Sister Wan."
Her behavior was too weird, cold sweat broke out slightly on Lu Yuanbin's forehead, and he greeted again: "Miss Wan."
At the same time, he didn't forget to turn his head and glance at the book boy behind him, indicating that if the situation was wrong, he would step forward and announce his identity.
The person who was assigned was a clever servant, who was clear about Lu Yuanbin's hint.
"Miss Wan suddenly called Xiaosheng to stop, but what do you want to say?" Lu Yuanbin pursed his lower lip nervously, continued to hold his fist high, but pricked up his ears cautiously, listening to the soft pointers and emotions from the crowd behind him, "Oh, what a pity, such a handsome child."
"Yeah, this Wang Wan is too arrogant, she might directly ruin a child's future."
"If you can go to Beijing to catch the exam, it's still a job. Even if you don't pass the exam, you can go home and become a high official. In the end, you will be folded here. It's a crime."
What does it mean?Is this Wang Wan sinful?
Wang Wan heard the voices of the onlookers, but she didn't care at all, she just walked slowly towards Lu Yuanbin under the escort of her servants, her eyes fell on Lu Yuanbin like hooks.
"Little son, I see that you are handsome, do you want to come to my mansion to be a good man?" Wang Wan reached out to touch Lu Yuanbin's face, but Lu Yuanbin leaned back and avoided it. .
"Girl, please respect yourself." Lu Yuanbin said in a deep voice.
Although he doesn't read the script very much, he can often hear his classmates chatting about related matters, so he naturally has a vague awareness of what Wang Wan is going to do in his heart.
But he wanted to see how far Wang Wan dared to go, whether to talk about it or take real action.
Seeing Lu Yuanbin dodging her touch, Wang Wan's eyes flashed a trace of fear, but after noticing the thin red on Lu Yuanbin's face, her eyes lit up, thinking that since this young man is good-looking, she naturally has the ability to dodge right.
So she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart with a smile: "Young master, are you shy? It's okay, my sister will treat you very well... You see, this whole house is mine. As long as you want, you can eat delicious food every day in the future. "
In fact, the redness on Lu Yuanbin's face was due to anger, but since the woman did not use coercive means, Lu Yuanbin was also happy to continue acting with her, to see if he could find out any other tricks.
"Girl, Xiaosheng has no intention of getting married at the moment. Please let the girl let Xiaosheng go. After Xiaosheng rests in the county town for a while, he will return to his hometown to continue preparing for the scientific examination." At this point, Lu Yuanbin showed a dull and shy expression .
And Wang Wan was not at all willing to let such a good-looking young master leave. Looking at the previous young masters she had, none of them could be so handsome, so good-looking that she even had the urge to put him on the bed to admire.
"Young master, even if you have no other ideas, you can come to my mansion for a while... By the way, did you say that you want to find a place to live? Just come and stay in my sister's yard, and my sister will take care of you." take care of you."
Faced with Wang Wan's outstretched hand, Lu Yuanbin slapped it flying, and the sound of "slap" was very clear in the still peaceful atmosphere.
Wang Wan looked at the place where Lu Yuanbin beat her, and all the patience and tenderness left on her face disappeared. She grabbed Lu Yuanbin's arm and threatened him in a bad tone: "I treat each other with courtesy, but you don't know each other in the end." , don’t blame me for using extreme methods!”
After all, she beckoned directly, and suddenly a group of tall and thick men stepped forward behind her.
In her opinion, this kind of little scholar is a weak type, even she can easily catch him, but she just wants to humiliate Lu Yuanbin in public.
Seeing several men approaching, Lu Yuanbin turned his head and glanced at the guard. The little book boy behind him understood, and the two quickly switched positions. The big man resisted all the attacks, and he could still make four or two attacks.
Although Mrs. Wang felt quite reasonable after listening to Master Wang's words, she still couldn't stop the worry in her heart, so she took the initiative to ask the servant how Wang Minzhi was feeling when he came back.
The one who brought Wang Minzhi back was the servant that Master Wang and Mrs. Wang were very fond of. He hurriedly shook his sleeves, saluted Mrs. Wang, and then tried his best to recall the time when Wang Minzhi returned to the palace. , the state of getting off the carriage.
"Young Master's complexion is still ruddy, and it hasn't lost much color. He just looks very sleepy, but he still firmly grasps the small backpack in his hand. I don't know what precious treasure is inside..."
Before the servant finished his sentence, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to look around the front hall, and found the package that Wang Minzhi casually threw here on the table.
She hesitated for a moment, wondering if Wang Minzhi would be angry if she rashly opened the package.
But the curiosity and worry in her heart got the upper hand again, making Mrs. Wang hesitate for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth when Master Wang came over: "Just unpack Min Zhi's package, if it doesn't work, just restore it to its original state! "
Before Mr. Wang could stop him, Mrs. Wang untied the knot on the top of the package, and the fine silk slipped down the corner of the table like water, revealing a dozen of papers hidden inside.
Master Wang noticed something sharp-eyed, so he took a step forward, reached out and took a piece of paper to examine it for a while, and finally took a deep breath: "How could Min Zhi write so many impressions and comments?"
Mrs. Wang is also a lady who is good enough to match the Wang family. Although she is not proficient in everything in the Four Books and Five Classics, she is no different from a man, but she has also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, so she can naturally understand what Wang Minzhi wrote.
At this time, she couldn't hold back the surprise in her heart, and stretched out her hands to hold a piece of paper, her tone trembling: "Minzhi...how come he loves studying so much all of a sudden?"
The two of them didn't know what was going on, but they were very relieved to see that Wang Minzhi had done a lot of learning. After all, Wang Minzhi's whole body was changed after being praised by the Holy Master himself as "the talent is no less than the previous champions". He swelled up, went out to look for flowers and ask willows all day, and did not do business at all, and he hadn't opened a book for a long time.
In this case, he was surpassed by Lu Yuanbin, who studied more diligently, and was named the champion. To be honest, it is understandable.
The Wang family is waiting for Wang Minzhi to wake up, and the young master is about to leave Sijing's post.
Seeing his family members waiting for him outside, the young master stared at Si Jing eagerly, looking very aggrieved: "My lord, I haven't read enough books in your study, can I stay with you for a while?"
Si Jing's eyelids twitched a couple of times when faced with the young master's cuteness: "Since I have made an appointment, naturally I can't break my promise. If you have a book you like, you can come over to borrow it when you have time."
After making this promise, Si Jing stretched out his hand to drive away the young master like some kind of small animal: "Let's go, let's go."
After sending the young master away, Si Jing turned around and saw Lu Yuanbin standing behind him.
He was taken aback by Lu Yuanbin, and almost fell backwards. Fortunately, Lu Yuanbin had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stretched out his hand to help him pull him, so that he was saved from the fate of being in contact with the earth.
After regaining his footing, Si Jing slowed down a bit, looked at Lu Yuanbin, and repeated what he had just said to the young master: "You should go too... If you need books in the future, you can come and borrow them, and you can go directly to the book master Just do it."
"...Okay." Lu Yuanbin took a deep look at Si Jing, then turned and left the station.
For the next period of time, Wang Minzhi was taken care of by his parents all day long. If he wanted to go out, he had to report to Mrs. Wang for permission, and he had to follow more than a dozen servants behind him.
And Lu Yuanbin also began to urgently control the order of the streets... After the imperial examination, many scholars felt that they had failed the exam, and they ran around the street like crazy, and even drank in the middle of the night, and after drinking too much, they went crazy on the street, scaring Ordinary people dare not go out.
Because of these emergencies, Lu Yuanbin was busy at work all day, and in his spare time, he even began to miss the scene of studying quietly in Si Jing's study.
Among the three, the most free and leisurely one is the young master.
The only bachelor who can barely control him is now a busy time. He doesn't go home all day and approves papers outside, so the little prince is the king at home, whatever he wants to say, whatever he wants to do.
So he went to look for Si Jing.
Si Jing's palace has almost been built. Looking down from the second floor of the teahouse, you can already see the prototype. It is estimated that it will be able to move in with a bag after some finishing work.
The young master found out that Si Jing sat on the second floor of the teahouse for half a day every day, so he went to fix a seat next to Si Jing, and accompanied him to eat and drink tea every day. She asked her to sing a love song for herself for a few taels of silver.
The singing girls are very generous, the guests rewarded her with money and asked her to sing love songs, the singing girl didn't hold back, she just plucked the strings of the pipa and opened her mouth.
Si Jing listened, her eyes didn't move, she was focused on the scenery outside the window all the time, as if she didn't notice the songs sung by the young master and the singing girl.
On this day, Lu Yuanbin was mediating a civil case and was passing downstairs of the teahouse when he heard a melodious singing from the teahouse.
He suddenly thought of the singing girl who was called upstairs by Si Jing, so he raised his head subconsciously, and saw Si Jing was leaning on his arm and looking at the situation in the palace from the wide open window on the second floor, while beside him chattered... ...isn't it the little boy?
The authorities were bewildered by the onlookers, and Si Jing might not have felt anything, but when Lu Yuanbin saw the young man looking at Si Jing, his heart started beating unconsciously. Something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
His heart was beating for a long time, Lu Yuanbin stood on the street looking at the second floor, finally hesitated, and opened his mouth to call: "Third Prince."
Hearing the voice calling him, Si Jing froze for a moment, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Lu Yuanbin standing in the middle of the road wearing a light official uniform.
"Mr. Lu, long time no see." He poked his head out to say hello, and the original still picture suddenly turned into a moving picture, "Would you like to come up and have a sip of tea?"
When the young master heard Si Jing's invitation, he gave Lu Yuanbin a hard look from the air.
But his glance not only didn't frighten Lu Yuanbin, it even made him smile: "Thanks to the love of the prince, I will go upstairs immediately."
After all, he had already reached the door of the teahouse.
The servant guarding the door saw the scene where Si Jing invited Lu Yuanbin with his own eyes, so he didn't dare to neglect him in the slightest. He enthusiastically led him up to the second floor, and specially let him sit next to Si Jing.
Si Jing glanced at the sky outside the window and saw that it was almost noon, so he smiled and asked Lu Yuanbin, "Have you thought about how to have lunch, Mr. Lu?"
Turning a blind eye to the young master's cramp-like eyes, Lu Yuanbin stretched out his hand to touch his stomach in embarrassment, and shook his head at the same time: "Not yet."
"It's just right." Si Jing glanced back at the young master, "The two of us were going to have lunch together, but we were worried that we would have too much food to finish, so it happened that Master Lu also came together."
This meal is the restaurant that the young master found all over Kyoto in order to please Si Jing. Every dish is extremely delicious. Because it is expensive and requires a queue, it has become the most difficult restaurant in Kyoto to eat.
The young master entrusted a lot of talents to have a meal they made for lunch, and he was ready to wait for Si Jing's compliment, but Lu Yuanbin suddenly came in midway, and his eyebrows were raised in anger.
After thanking Si Jing, Lu Yuanbin sat on the chair with great concentration, straightened his body and waited for lunch.
Of course he could see the little boy's dissatisfaction with him and the look in his eyes that he wished him to evaporate in place.
He also understands that the young master likes Si Jing, so he should be pursuing Si Jing.
...It's really interesting, the young master said that "the beauties in the world can't be moved by anyone", but in the end he fell into the hands of a man.
A waiter ran over and said that a lot of people came downstairs and wanted to deliver food to the prince, should they be allowed in?
Hearing this, the young master hastily stepped forward: "Come up, come up!"
After finishing speaking, he still turned to Si Jing to flatter him, and explained to him the hard-earned meal: "My lord, this restaurant is a famous bestseller in the whole of Kyoto. I asked several people to help me line up, and finally I got a Opportunity to get in."
Si Jing has also eaten at this restaurant, and thinks the taste is not bad, but since the young master has made such efforts and is still waiting for his praise, Si Jing will naturally not dampen the interest of others: " The young master actually made such a big contribution just to treat me to a meal... I feel ashamed in my heart."
After all, he used to invite the young master to dinner occasionally, that is, he just found a nearby restaurant and sent his servants to order a few dishes.
The young master was praised by Si Jing, and his whole body was full of joy, with pink bubbles.
But even at this time, he still didn't forget to give Lu Yuanbin a hard look, as if to emphasize that if he hadn't appeared, he could have a good meal with the third prince.
Lu Yuanbin pretended not to see the young master's stare, but only looked down at the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, and listened to the sound of the shop's serving dishes.
After the food was served, the three of them were relatively speechless, but it was the young master who laughed out loud first and toasted Si Jing with tea instead of wine.
"My lord, come and taste the food here, it's very delicious."
To the young master's hospitality, Si Jing responded with a smile, and then, as the young master expected, she reached out to pick up a chopstick of food and put it in her mouth, then chewed slowly.
"It tastes good." Finally, he nodded with satisfaction and gave such an evaluation.
After receiving a compliment from Si Jing, the young master blushed with joy, and the expression on his face was even happier than having won hundreds of thousands of gold: "Since the prince likes it, let's eat a few more bites."
Just as he reached out his hand to grab a bite of food for Si Jing and put it in his bowl, a pair of chopsticks suddenly stretched out from the air, directly blocking his attack.
The little boy suddenly turned his head and stared at Lu Yuanbin fiercely, while Lu Yuanbin threw the dish he had set as his target into his bowl with an innocent face, then nodded slightly to express his gratitude: "It tastes really good, Thank you son."
After the three of them fought and ate their meal, Lu Yuanbin had no reason to stay by Si Jing's side any longer, so he stood up and left hesitantly.
Hearing that he was going to leave, the young master was so happy that he seemed to jump up on the spot, and he turned directly to Si Jing: "My lord, I'll see you off, Young Master Lu."
On the way down, the young master kept looking at the road ahead, but his expression was not very good: "Mr. Lu, please don't dangle in front of me and the prince. You can't do anything but disturb people." come out."
Hearing the young master's words, Lu Yuanbin frowned, and directly retorted: "Young master's thoughts on the prince, do you think I can't see it? The prince is a noble man, so don't ask for extravagance. It’s best to stay as far away from the prince as possible, so as not to cause bad rumors because of your entanglement.”
It may be that Lu Yuanbin's words were too sharp, so that the young man who was calm at first became irritable. He turned sideways, stared into Lu Yuanbin's eyes, and curled up his mouth in disgust: " Before you teach me a lesson, I hope Mr. Lu will restrain his hobby of meddling, if you really like meddling, the frequent occurrences of family quarrels on the street are enough for you to control."
"My pursuit of the third prince is a matter between me and him. What's the relationship between our two families at most, and you, Mr. Lu? Seeing how excited you are, don't you want to join us?" Once.
In fact, if Lu Yuanbin wanted to refute, he could think of thousands of arguments, which would render the young master speechless.
But Lu Yuanbin was strangely silent, and finally just said "I'll do it for myself" and left quickly.
Only the young master was left looking at Lu Yuanbin's back, not knowing what he meant.
After being refuted by the young master, many strange emotions surged in Lu Yuanbin's heart. He wanted to sort it out after returning to his residence, and figure out why he was so eager to stop the two of them.
Unfortunately, as soon as he returned to the courtyard, Lu Yuanbin received a transfer order.
The emperor asked him to be the magistrate of a wealthy county near Kyoto.
And not long after the imperial decree was issued, many scholars who never walked with Lu Yuanbin in the past came to give him gifts and congratulations. It seemed that each of them seemed to have been brothers with him for more than ten years, and the smiles on their faces were extremely sincere. .
Based on their reactions, Lu Yuanbin guessed that this "Huan County" magistrate should be a fat vacancy.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuanbin went to inquire while packing his luggage, and found that it was indeed the case.
Huan County is notoriously difficult to manage, because many rich people who made small mistakes or offended others in Kyoto would go to Huan County to take refuge. Other counties are completely different.
But because the people in Huan County are rich, if you make the right choice, you can scrape some oil from these people.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the officials on duty in Huan County generally have two fates.
The first type, the county magistrate who has done a good job, will be completely promoted in a year or two, and will become a high-ranking official who can only be looked up to by others; Sent to a remote place, it is very difficult to return to Kyoto for the rest of his life.
Almost 50.00% chance.
After hearing this, Lu Yuanbin suddenly realized what the envious and pitiful eyes they looked at him meant.
If Lu Yuanbin did well and caught the eyes of the emperor, they would naturally be envious if he soared into the sky in the future.
But they obviously also know that Huan County is not easy to control, and if they accidentally make Huan County even more chaotic, they will end up being sent out. If there is more miasma on the road, they may die on the road directly.
Lu Yuanbin, who was originally in a calm state of mind, clenched his fists unconsciously after thinking of their eyes, and a little cold sweat dripped from his palms.
He was going on the road tomorrow afternoon, Lu Yuanbin made an appointment for the carriage, and then fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, after washing up, he sat at the table and thought about it. He took a last look at the time and found that it was still early, so he walked out of the yard and walked towards the post station.
In ancient times, unlike modern times with mobile phones and computers, Si Jing had no chance to stay up late at all, so he went to bed early and woke up early every day, full of energy and health.
When Lu Yuanbin came to visit, Si Jing had already gotten up to pack herself and was drinking porridge downstairs.
Hearing the guard's report that Mr. Lu had come to ask for a visit, Si Jing raised her eyes indifferently: "Let him in."
When Lu Yuanbin walked in, he saw that Si Jing was sipping porridge. The thick porridge had a thin layer on Si Jing's lips, which looked like a film. .
Si Jing put down the spoon in his hand, stuck out his tongue and licked off the porridge stains around his mouth, and asked, "You came to see me, what's the matter?"
"That..." Before seeing Si Jing, Lu Yuanbin had already thought about how to talk to him, but when he actually saw him, all the plans he had made in his heart disappeared, and he was like a fledgling kid. , Standing nervously on the spot for a long time, hesitated and mumbled before barely getting to the point, "My lord, I'm here to bid you farewell."
"Farewell?" During this time, Si Jing had thousands of guesses in his mind, but he never thought that Lu Yuanbin came to say goodbye to him.
He didn't know whether he was surprised that Lu Yuanbin was leaving so soon, or that Lu Yuanbin could remember to talk to him.
But Si Jing didn't show these emotions on his face, but opened his mouth slightly to express his surprise, then nodded: "Where are you going?"
"Go to Huan County near Kyoto." Knowing that Si Jing should know nothing about official affairs, Lu Yuanbin still asked boldly in order to find a topic for further communication, "Do you know what Huan County is? The place? I have inquired about it, and everyone has different opinions."
Lu Yuanbin just wanted to chat with Si Jing, but he didn't expect that Si Jing recalled the experience of the original owner, and his eyes lit up: "This king has a summer house in a mountain villa near Huan County. Whenever it is hot in summer This king will go to live there for a while, and occasionally go to Huan County for a walk."
Facing Lu Yuanbin's earnest gaze, Si Jing puffed out his chest: "I think Huan County is a lot more chaotic than the capital, but if you have the courage to manage Huan County well, you will have a lot of credit .”
What Si Jing said was useless nonsense, and basically all scholars knew that Huan County was like this.
However, Lu Yuanbin still showed a sincere expression of "so it is so", and did not forget to give a thumbs up, and praised Si Jing, "The prince is really amazing, I understand, I will definitely work hard in Huan County , strive to manage Huan County well as soon as possible.”
It's rare to see such a sincere rainbow fart, Si Jing couldn't help laughing out loud: "If the weather is still sweltering next summer, I may go to Huan County to stay for a while, and I can see you at that time."
"Yeah." Thinking about how long it would take to come back, even though Huan County is not far from the capital, and it takes about an hour to ride a horse, Lu Yuanbin still felt a little depressed.
Almost finished chatting, Lu Yuanbin stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, and added another request embarrassingly: "Third Prince, I still want to borrow some books from the Prince, but I don't know when I can return them... "
Go out to work and study?
Si Jing's eyes widened in surprise, and he stared at Lu Yuanbin until he couldn't resist Si Jing's hot gaze. He lowered his head in embarrassment and rubbed his fingertips: "Does the lord think that this little minister is too whimsical?" Oh... I know I was wrong..."
Seeing that Lu Yuanbin was about to kneel down and admit his mistake, Si Jing hurriedly raised his head to stop him: "I don't think there is anything wrong with you, but I admire you for taking office and you don't forget to study."
"Well," he felt that he was a prince anyway, and he should help the students who love to study, so he thought about it for a while and said, "This king specially sends a guard to go to your place every ten days, and send you some new books. How about getting back the old book by the way?"
Lu Yuanbin just wanted to borrow a book or two that were not very important and study them carefully, but he didn't expect Si Jing to come up with such a good idea.
He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and it seemed that the tears in his eyes were about to flow down: "Thank you, my lord!"
Si Jing stretched out his hand to stop Lu Yuanbin's prostrating body, then called the guards and asked him to lead Lu Yuanbin to the study room, and just pick out any books he wanted, since he didn't really read them anyway.
What Si Jing likes to read are story books and country legends, and they are placed in another small study next to the bedroom, which is completely separated from the big study, and the content is quite different from the big study.
In the past, Lu Yuanbin slandered Si Jing for hiding books in a study room, but he didn't read it at all. He felt that Si Jing was taking up social resources, so that scholars who had difficulty seeing these good books had no chance to learn knowledge.
But now that the person Si Jing benefited from collecting good books has become him, his emotion towards Si Jing's doing this has changed from criticism to secret joy.
Sure enough, he was just an ordinary person.
While choosing books in a daze, Lu Yuanbin pulled out his thoughts and suddenly thought of this sentence.
After choosing the books, Si Jing asked Master Shu to help wrap these books well. It would be better to use other big books to clamp these books, so as not to accidentally crush the corners of the books when he was bumping on the road up.
The book master who guards the study is also a person who cherishes books. Seeing that Lu Yuanbin cherishes them so much, he feels a little comforted, so he specially selected a few books he liked and recommended them to Si Jing, so that he can record them for next time. Come here and get it.
After finally picking out the books and wrapping them up slowly, Lu Yuanbin said goodbye to Si Jing, then stood at the door, took a final deep look at Si Jing, turned around and planned to leave.
Just when he took a step, a fairly familiar figure suddenly appeared on the corner of the street.
Lu Yuanbin was stunned for a moment, then took a step back, and stopped directly in front of Si Jing: "My lord, I will leave after a while."
"Well, what's the matter?" Si Jing looked down at him blankly, wondering why Lu Yuanbin suddenly changed his mind.
And Lu Yuanbin returned with a smile: "It's nothing, I just want to stay with the prince for a while."
After finishing speaking, the young master quickly walked up to Si Jing, and when he was still a few steps away from them, he happily called out to Si Jing: "The third prince woke up very early today!"
The young master often came to look for Si Jing, so Si Jing was very calm about this, and nodded to the young master from the air: "Well, the air is better when you get up early, so I'm going out for a stroll."
When the young master approached, he found that Lu Yuanbin was also waiting at the door.
His smile faded almost immediately: "My lord, why is Mr. Lu here?"
Facing the young master's suddenly sharp eyes, Lu Yuanbin continued to stand on the spot expressionlessly, and even leaned closer to Si Jing: "I came here to ask the prince to borrow books, so is the young master?"
"Mr. Lu is going to Huan County. He came to bid farewell to the king and borrow some books to go." Just as the young master was staring at Lu Yuanbin dissatisfied, Si Jing suddenly explained, directly explaining Lu Yuanbin's painstaking efforts. All the prepared coats were revealed.
Hearing that Lu Yuanbin was leaving the capital, the young master's unhappiness immediately faded away, and he even smiled kindly at Lu Yuanbin, and sent his sincere blessings: "Mr. Lu is a good official in Huan County, I heard that if you do well, you will be promoted easily."
As usual, when Lu Yuanbin heard someone wishing him such a blessing, no matter how unhappy Lu Yuanbin was, he would respond with a perfunctory smile.
But this time, he didn't even have an expression on his face. Since his back was turned to Si Jing, Si Jing couldn't see the change in his expression, and just glanced at the young master indifferently.
The young man understood what emotion was in Lu Yuanbin's eyes, but he was in a good mood when he thought that Lu Yuanbin was going to leave in the future, so he didn't care about being stared at a few times, and kept smiling and approaching Si Jing. , and asked him if he wanted to have breakfast together.
"The kitchen has already made breakfast for the king." Si Jing glanced back at the direction of the station, "I won't go out to eat."
Having said that, he turned around and noticed the expectant eyes of the young master, so he laughed and said, "Why don't you come and have breakfast together?"
For this, the young master naturally wished for it, but just when he turned around and was about to send Lu Yuanbin away, Lu Yuanbin also moved a bit, and then said: "I haven't eaten, can I have a meal with the prince?" ?”
Under the young master's desperate eyes, Si Jing glanced at Lu Yuanbin calmly: "Okay."
So the three of them entered the inn together, and after breakfast, Lu Yuanbin looked at the sky and felt that it was not very early, so he could only reluctantly bid farewell to the residence, and went to the residence after a little repair. He got out of the carriage and rushed to Huan County.
Sitting in the car to Huan County, Lu Yuanbin was a little nervous.
Although he looks very calm, in fact his heart has been beating rapidly, simulating various situations and problems that may be encountered in his mind.
The carriage soon arrived at its destination. Lu Yuanbin got off the carriage, stood at the gate of the county seat, and carefully looked at the appearance of the county seat.
In ancient times, the outer walls of the county town were all made of stones. There are many traces of history hanging on the stones, and the bloody storms are revealed on them.
The city walls of Huanxian County look richer, because the stones have been ground very neatly, and there are even colorful streamers hanging on some of the stones. It is estimated that the people of Huanxian County hung them on some festival.
The guards at the gate of the city checked the passers-by to make sure they didn't have anything bad on them.
Huan County is not a particularly big place, and the guards are familiar with the people who come and go frequently, so when they saw Lu Yuanbin appear, they were all stunned for a while, not knowing what he was here for.
When being inspected, one of the little guards curiously asked about his background: "Young master, I see your face, where did you come from?"
If they took out the imperial decree to show their identity, they might invite Lu Yuanbin in directly and respectfully, but Lu Yuanbin still wanted to observe the situation in the city again, so he calmed down and replied in a low voice: "I am A scholar who just finished the imperial examination, intends to come here to visit relatives, and then go home to continue studying.”
"I see." The guard nodded, indicating that Lu Yuanbin had nothing else on him and could go in.
Before leaving, one of the guards encouraged him: "Come again next time."
After entering Huan County, Lu Yuanbin looked at the scenery on both sides curiously, and felt that Huan County was indeed a well-known rich county, and most of the mansions standing beside the road were not inferior to those in Kyoto, which looked very grand.
But the streets are much more chaotic than in Kyoto.
Because he has been managing the order on the streets in Kyoto, Lu Yuanbin paid special attention to the order in Huan County, and found that there are not as many people as in Kyoto, but it is much worse than that in Kyoto. Everywhere is messy. Walking on the street, I can often hear the sound of quarreling, and I don't know who is arguing.
Having squeezed through the crowd, Lu Yuanbin heaved a sigh of relief.
For some reason, there were a lot fewer people here. Lu Yuanbin looked around, and there were only a few scattered people on the street, which formed a sharp contrast with the crowded people not far away.
What is the reason?
Lu Yuanbin looked around curiously for a while, not knowing what secrets were hidden in the suddenly empty streets that he didn't know yet.
People who passed by here were in a hurry, and two women saw Lu Yuanbin standing in the same place and looked around, and saw that he was a strange man they hadn't seen, so they reminded him in a low voice when they passed by him: "Hurry up!" Get away quickly."
Earning these words, Lu Yuanbin froze for a moment, staring at the woman's back as she left.
But the woman didn't seem to have said this sentence at all, she got into the crowd without hesitation, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Before Lu Yuanbin had time to think carefully about the specific meaning, the facts gave him the answer.
The door beside him was opened with a creak, and a row of servants came out from inside.
Lu Yuanbin was taken aback, and hurriedly took a few steps aside, lowering his head, trying to give way to this group of people.
But before he had time to say anything, he heard a woman's interested voice: "Little scholar over there, look up and let my sister see you."
Lu Yuanbin didn't realize who the woman was calling, so he looked up at her, trying to determine the direction she was looking at.
As a result, when he raised his head, he even showed his appearance to the woman, causing a look of astonishment to appear in the woman's eyes: "What a beautiful scholar!"
Her tone was a bit weird, and Lu Yuanbin frowned upon hearing it.
He stepped forward and cupped his hands: "This girl..."
In fact, it is wrong to say that it is a girl, because this woman is about 30 years old, and she looks like a charm, but in fact it is still difficult to conceal the essence of a young lady.
She was wearing heavy makeup and gorgeous clothes, and at first glance she had the aura of a brothel bustard, and this aura was even more obvious when it was set off by a few handsome maids around her.
"Don't call me a girl, I'm so lucky," the woman covered her lips and smiled lightly, and at the same time tapped Lu Yuanbin lightly in the air with her fingers painted with vermilion nails, unexpectedly she really showed a bit of charm out of thin air during the day "Just call me Sister Wan."
Her behavior was too weird, cold sweat broke out slightly on Lu Yuanbin's forehead, and he greeted again: "Miss Wan."
At the same time, he didn't forget to turn his head and glance at the book boy behind him, indicating that if the situation was wrong, he would step forward and announce his identity.
The person who was assigned was a clever servant, who was clear about Lu Yuanbin's hint.
"Miss Wan suddenly called Xiaosheng to stop, but what do you want to say?" Lu Yuanbin pursed his lower lip nervously, continued to hold his fist high, but pricked up his ears cautiously, listening to the soft pointers and emotions from the crowd behind him, "Oh, what a pity, such a handsome child."
"Yeah, this Wang Wan is too arrogant, she might directly ruin a child's future."
"If you can go to Beijing to catch the exam, it's still a job. Even if you don't pass the exam, you can go home and become a high official. In the end, you will be folded here. It's a crime."
What does it mean?Is this Wang Wan sinful?
Wang Wan heard the voices of the onlookers, but she didn't care at all, she just walked slowly towards Lu Yuanbin under the escort of her servants, her eyes fell on Lu Yuanbin like hooks.
"Little son, I see that you are handsome, do you want to come to my mansion to be a good man?" Wang Wan reached out to touch Lu Yuanbin's face, but Lu Yuanbin leaned back and avoided it. .
"Girl, please respect yourself." Lu Yuanbin said in a deep voice.
Although he doesn't read the script very much, he can often hear his classmates chatting about related matters, so he naturally has a vague awareness of what Wang Wan is going to do in his heart.
But he wanted to see how far Wang Wan dared to go, whether to talk about it or take real action.
Seeing Lu Yuanbin dodging her touch, Wang Wan's eyes flashed a trace of fear, but after noticing the thin red on Lu Yuanbin's face, her eyes lit up, thinking that since this young man is good-looking, she naturally has the ability to dodge right.
So she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart with a smile: "Young master, are you shy? It's okay, my sister will treat you very well... You see, this whole house is mine. As long as you want, you can eat delicious food every day in the future. "
In fact, the redness on Lu Yuanbin's face was due to anger, but since the woman did not use coercive means, Lu Yuanbin was also happy to continue acting with her, to see if he could find out any other tricks.
"Girl, Xiaosheng has no intention of getting married at the moment. Please let the girl let Xiaosheng go. After Xiaosheng rests in the county town for a while, he will return to his hometown to continue preparing for the scientific examination." At this point, Lu Yuanbin showed a dull and shy expression .
And Wang Wan was not at all willing to let such a good-looking young master leave. Looking at the previous young masters she had, none of them could be so handsome, so good-looking that she even had the urge to put him on the bed to admire.
"Young master, even if you have no other ideas, you can come to my mansion for a while... By the way, did you say that you want to find a place to live? Just come and stay in my sister's yard, and my sister will take care of you." take care of you."
Faced with Wang Wan's outstretched hand, Lu Yuanbin slapped it flying, and the sound of "slap" was very clear in the still peaceful atmosphere.
Wang Wan looked at the place where Lu Yuanbin beat her, and all the patience and tenderness left on her face disappeared. She grabbed Lu Yuanbin's arm and threatened him in a bad tone: "I treat each other with courtesy, but you don't know each other in the end." , don’t blame me for using extreme methods!”
After all, she beckoned directly, and suddenly a group of tall and thick men stepped forward behind her.
In her opinion, this kind of little scholar is a weak type, even she can easily catch him, but she just wants to humiliate Lu Yuanbin in public.
Seeing several men approaching, Lu Yuanbin turned his head and glanced at the guard. The little book boy behind him understood, and the two quickly switched positions. The big man resisted all the attacks, and he could still make four or two attacks.
