Chapter 47 Chapter 47
Since the re-examination of the March Entrance Examination and the April Palace Examination, Liu Fuyun changed his previous ranking and was named Tanhua. The top three can be directly awarded official positions, but now he is a Beijing official.
Since you have entered the officialdom, if you want to survive in this circle, you must have social engagements.
Today, Liu Fuyun came to the banquet.
After entering the door, he noticed Fu Yao who was drinking at first sight.
But at first I didn't remember it was her. After taking a few steps, I turned around and walked to Fu Yao's side, and tentatively greeted him: "Master of the Observer?"
Fu Yao's wine glass was right beside her mouth. When she saw him, she laughed: "I was actually recognized."
Liu Fuyun's gaze flashed over her black dress, and the meaning was self-evident - people usually don't wear black clothes when they go out. Of course, the most important thing is the indescribable feeling.
"It seems that I have to change my outfit next time." Fu Yao said, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you on the high school Tanhua."
"It's just good luck." Liu Fuyun was not a humble word, he had already reached that level. If the top three players do not have overwhelming talents, the rest depends on luck.
"Even if it's luck, it's still a foundation of strength." Fu Yao said.
"Thank you for your praise from the master." Liu Fuyun thanked him, thought for a while, and said, "There will be a vacant vacancy next year, and I want to go to Jiangnan."
"Do you want to let it go at this time?" Fu Yao was a little surprised.
Generally speaking, most people choose to stay in the capital for a few years to consolidate their relationships. After having a certain degree of qualifications, they can release them, save some political achievements and come back, and then they can go a few more steps forward.
If Liu Fuyun wants to go out now, it is not the best choice.
"What did Mr. Fu say?" Fu Yao said.
"Mr. Fu did not stop him."
"Since he didn't stop him, then you're listening to him." Speaking of this, Fu Yao suddenly said: "Since you want to let it go, shouldn't it be a marriage?"
While the nobles in the capital still remember him, they married the court officials and wanted to get back in the future. The Yue family also worked hard to avoid being left out all the time.
Liu Fuyun's eyes were slightly darker: "Fuyun just wants to do something practical for the time being."
"So." Fu Yao nodded, "You go to the banquet quickly. If you really arrive in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the future, you can go to my place to burn incense."
"must."
The two of them exchanged a few greetings like this. Liu Fuyun went up to the third floor.
The third floor of the private room has almost arrived. When Liu Fuyun arrived, he would have to let him punish himself for three cups.
Not long after Liu Fuyun sat down, the door of the court opened again, and a handsome young man wearing a purple gold crown and a red python robe walked in, "You have all arrived."
It was also a latecomer. For Liu Fuyun, a group of playboys in the Beijing circle, he should have punished him three times, but no one dared to have the courage to do so.
"Young Master, you've calculated it." Everyone stood up and greeted him, giving up their seats.
"Don't move, just sit together with Brother Liu." The little marquis said, holding Liu Fuyun in his hand, sitting cross-legged beside him, and said, "When I first went upstairs, I saw that someone downstairs had a bigger show than me. I looked at my face and my eyes were very good. When did such a big man come to the capital?"
"This may be because the wealthy businessman from outside, who had nothing and had a lot of money, so he made such a big noise, for fear that others would not know that they had money. Unfortunately, they didn't know that the people sitting upstairs were all real Buddhas, so who took that little thing into his eyes?" Someone joked.
When Liu Fuyun heard this, he said, "Those two people may just want to taste the delicious food in Beijing, so why should Brother Wang guess so?"
"If you protect them like this, can they be your relatives?" someone said deliberately.
The Liu family is a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, which is not a secret. This person is talking nonsense, and even Liu Fuyun laughed at him. After all, in their eyes, the merchants are just a bad thing.
"How did you say?" The little marquis suddenly became cold on his face, and there was a hint of chill on his handsome face. "Not to mention that Brother Liu is a guest invited by this prince. He can sit here today not because of the Liu family behind him, but because of his ability to pass the exam by himself. Some jokes are better to weigh the weight of your own before driving."
This was quite rude, but because it came from his mouth, the person who had mocked him before was dissatisfied and had to grit his teeth, smile on his face, and apologize repeatedly.
Liu Fuyun sat on one side, but smiled and took on these apology.
The King of Hell is easy to mess with, and the little ghost is difficult to deal with, so there is no need for him to be hated for these trivial matters.
Perhaps everyone saw the little marquis’s intention to protect Liu Fuyun, so the following banquet did not happen without any unpleasant things.
Until the three rounds of wine, Liu Fuyun came out of the private room to breathe. Almost a quarter of an hour later, when he came back, he saw the little marquis leaning alone on the pillar outside the private room, not knowing what he was thinking.
When he noticed that Liu Fuyun was back, the little marquis looked at him, stood up straight, and said, "Are you back? Come with me to get some breath. There are so many people inside that I have a headache."
Liu Fuyun knew that the little marquis had something to say to him.
But these were also within his expectations.
He did not make friends in the Beijing circle, and he only had classmates and cousins of the Fu family recently.
The little marquis is different from him. His Majesty is the little marquis' brother-in-law, which directly turns him into the top playboy in the Beijing circle.
There is no intersection between the two of them, but today he suddenly received this banquet, so something must have happened.
"yes."
"You don't have to be so unfamiliar with me," although the little marquis is not very old, but he is very tall, with long and straight legs. At this moment, he put his hand on Liu Fuyun's shoulder and said casually: "I just have some questions to ask you to help me solve my doubts."
"If you please tell me, Fu Yun knew everything." Liu Fu Yun did not exceed half of his random attitude.
The little marquis didn't care about these things. When the two of them came to the eaves floating outside, the little marquis looked at the lights outside and said, "Brother Liu, have you heard you have seen a ghost?"
Liu Fuyun was stunned. He thought in his mind what the little marquis wanted to ask him, but he never expected that he would ask this.
"Little Marquis..." He said with a little unnatural expression, "Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"
He has indeed seen it, but what he sees is the least he wants to see.
"You don't have to be nervous, I just ask casually." The little marquis called out, "You also know that there are not many secrets in the capital. Everyone has been rumored about Qi Shuangbai in private, saying that Fu Sanniang was killed by his husband and wife, and ghosts came to settle the score with them. Of course, I don't believe in such a thing at all. But people always have curiosity, so I want to verify it from you."
"This is not a pleasant thing." Liu Fuyun's face was a little resistant. He didn't like Sanniang's tragic death and was used as a topic of conversation after dinner. "Young Marquis, you should go and ask others. I feel a little uncomfortable, so I will say goodbye first."
After saying that, he quickly left the place regardless of the other party's expression.
When he went downstairs, he saw that the table in the corner of the lobby had changed a table. His heart was empty. He lifted the cotton curtain and walked out of the restaurant to look at the dark night outside. Suddenly his heart seemed to be filled with the autumn rain, which was so astringent.
...
Qingsong View.
Fu Yao and Zhongli returned from having enough food, and the weather in the water had returned to normal. The autumn wind was gentle, and a scent of flowers drifted in the air.
When the thin man saw her coming, he handed the paper in his hand to her and said, "You asked me to write all the things on this." After that, he carefully observed the viewer's expression, "Are you so angry just now because the bodies of the tomb robbers were dirty inside the tomb?"
"What corpse?" Fu Yao took the paper and looked at it. "I deserve to die in it if I dare to dig someone's grave."
"That tomb..."
"It has nothing to do with me, it will collapse if it collapses. What does it have to do with my grave not being firmly repaired?" After reading all the contents on the paper, Fu Yao said: "All you see is on this, right?"
“It’s all here.”
"Okay, from now on, you couple will stay here with peace of mind. If you have any questions, please come to me." Fu Yao finished speaking, "By the way, where is the ancient tomb?"
"In the mountains in the northwest, it is said to be a tomb from three hundred years ago."
"Three hundred years?" Fu Yao touched his chin, "Did you say who the owner of the tomb is?"
"It is said to be Empress Xiao from the previous dynasty."
"Just know who it is." Fu Yao returned to the Sanqing statue, poured out all the money in the merit box, and said to Sanniang: "Next, all the silver in the merit box is used to buy yellow paper, and then burn it at the door of the Taoist temple. With your companions coming, you ask them if they know about Empress Xiao's tomb until they ask that the tomb was being repaired."
"Yes." Sanniang responded.
...
Half a month later, Li Fengnian and Su Linqiu finally arrived in Lu'an.
However, after they came, they happened to meet Mr. Lu'an's servants packing their things and seemed to be planning to move.
After Li Fengnian took a famous post and indicated his identity, the housekeeper told them: "Mr. I went to Lishui County, and I wrote that I would live there next time. We are packing up our things now. If you want to see Mr., you can go together."
"Then I'll be in trouble." Li Fengnian thanked.
However, Su Linqiu was a little more lively and asked, "Sir is not young anymore, why do you think about going to Lishui now? And if I remember correctly, Lishui County is hundreds of miles away."
The housekeeper said: "Sir, I'm going to find the whereabouts of the young master." This is no longer a secret, and it's no different from whether he says or not.
But this was the first time Li and Su heard about this, so he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"So it was abducted. The traffickers are really hateful!" Su Linqiu said indignantly after hearing the whole story.
But Li Fengnian asked carefully: "Since you are going to find Xiaolang, why did you go to Lishui County?"
