Chapter Eleven Ruyu
When Xu Xian woke up again, it was already dark. He felt his head didn't hurt, but he was very thirsty.
This banquet was quite enjoyable.
"Brother Xu, are you awake? There is herbal tea on the table." Under Pan Yu's guidance, Xu Xian drank a few glasses of water again, calmed down and looked around. Seeing Pan Yu leaning against the window reading a book, he turned to the last page
Yiyi turned around and smiled at Xu Xian: "Brother Xu is really good at poetry!"
The sky was already dark, and the decoration in the room was antique. Xu Xian was still recalling his past life in his dream. Hearing this, he couldn't help but asked, "What poem?"
Pan Yu read the poem that Xu Xian recited when he was drunk and praised it. Xu Xian understood the reason and quickly evaded: "How can I have such poetic talent? This was recited to me by a wandering Taoist priest when I was a child.
"." He thought for a while and then said, "Brother Pan, it's better not to tell others about this poem."
Pan Yu was puzzled. If this poem was spread, it would definitely be a good poem that would be famous all over the world. The man in front of him not only said that he did not do it, but also told himself not to tell anyone. It was really strange. But then he thought about it.
A good poem is good, but it will inevitably give people the impression of being a drunkard, which may not be a good thing for an official career. Only then was I relieved. I also felt that Xu Xian was unpredictable.
"Brother Xu, please rest assured, I will definitely keep Brother Xu's secret secret."
Xu Xian thanked him and then smiled and said: "It's too tiring for us to call you Brother Xu and Brother Pan. Why don't we just call me by my first name and surname, and just call me Xu Xian."
"My name is Mingyu. Brother Hanwen, just call me Mingyu."
"Beautiful as jade?" Xu Xian showed a strange expression.
"No, it's a gentleman like jade." Pan Yu immediately corrected him seriously.
Xu Xian smiled and said: "You have the best of both worlds. You have all the beauties and gentlemen."
But Pan Yu said sternly: "I, Pan Yu, a seven-foot man, please Brother Xu, please don't make such a joke, otherwise Brother Xu, please call me Pan Yu."
Xu Xian quickly apologized. He guessed that the more handsome a man is, the more he cares about this! After saying some nice words, Pan Yu calmed down his anger. However, Xu Xian thought to himself, even when he is angry, Mr. Pan Yu is like jade.
.As for being a beautiful gentleman, he did not dare to mention it again.
While I was talking, the sky had completely darkened.
Jintian Academy selects talents for the country, and these young talents are considered key investments. All expenses for food, accommodation, and work are paid for with money from the treasury. Xu Xian can also get a sum of money from Qiantang County every year, which is a bit like a scholarship. But this is
Nazhi County saw that Xu Xian had a bright future and spent public money, so they formed a good relationship.
After traveling through time for more than ten years, Xu Xian finally had some spare money, but it was only a few cents of silver. It was probably a shame for all time travellers. He himself was quite satisfied. He had developed a lot of money in his previous life for more than ten years, but he couldn't bear it when he had just a little money in this life.
Live and spend money.
"Mingyu, how about I treat you to a meal tonight?"
Pan Yu deliberately wanted to marry Xu Xian, so she naturally would not refuse. So Xu Xian led Pan Yu around the West Lake, but they were all good restaurants. Xu Xian touched his money bag, smiled bitterly in his heart, and could only continue.
Go down.
Pan Yu had a delicate heart, and could not tell what Xu Xian was thinking. She was just hard to talk to, and just looked at it secretly amused. After walking for a long time, Xu Xian suddenly became excited, and when he saw a tavern in front of him, he felt as if he had found a treasure, but for a moment he
Sorry for some hesitation.
Pan Yu said with a smile: "Brother Hanlin is a knowledgeable person at first glance. Hangzhou's famous food is all found in these small shops in nooks and crannies. Regardless of the luxury of those restaurants, the real flavor is still authentic in these places."
Xu Xian was not stupid and understood that Pan Yu was trying to smooth things over for him. But now that the matter was over, he relaxed and said casually: "I am short of money today. When I get rich, I will definitely invite Ruyu to the most expensive restaurant in Hangzhou."
Have a meal."
This person has not yet made a fortune, but he has the appearance of a nouveau riche. This tone should have made Pan Yu disgusted, but when the poor scholar said it, it made him feel straightforward and cute.
He smiled and joked: "Haha, don't worry about the money when the time comes. Besides, I won't forgive you if you are short of money."
Xu Xianlian said no, and the two of them entered the store and ordered a few side dishes without drinking any alcohol. When they were served tea, Pan Yu took a sip and stopped drinking. He had never drunk such bad tea since he was a child, and he didn't drink any tea.
Never been to such a place.
The business of this wine shop is not bad. The sounds of guests punching and joking, the shopkeeper welcoming and escorting guests, and the waiter yelling and complaining are all intertwined together, making people feel that this small store is filled with warmth, tackiness, and popularity.
But it was also very noisy at the same time. Pan Yu couldn't help but frown slightly. Xu Xian noticed that he couldn't help but feel regretful in his heart. Pan Yu, who was impeccably dressed in blue and had long hair like ink, was sitting in this wine shop. It really felt like a white jade covered with dust. It was that simple.
Sitting there, I felt out of place with the surrounding environment.
Xu Xian sighed and said: "An Neng can use the whiteness of Hao Hao to stain the dust of the world. Let's find another family." But he quoted a sentence from Qu Yuan's "The Fisherman".
Pan Yu smiled and shook her head slightly: "It's all the water of the Canglang. The hustle and bustle of this world is everywhere. You can't escape it. We are all people in this world. Who can be spotless?" He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Drink all.
When the food came, the small plates were clean and delicate, which made Xu Xian secretly breath a sigh of relief. Xu Xian only ate and drank at noon, but he was not too hungry. Pan Yu was busy socializing, so she was really hungry. She ate these in small bites.
It's a simple meal, but it really feels like it has a different flavor.
Xu Xian looked at it, and four words suddenly came to his mind, elegance to the bone. This is the so-called oriental aristocrat in his previous life! Polite but free and easy. It is far from those in his previous life who cared about the vintage of the wine, the taste of clothing, and never said anything about Mr. and Miss Western.
The nobility is comparable to that of nobles because it has a cultural heritage passed down for thousands of years.
After dinner, Pan Yu first took a sip of tea to rinse her mouth, then took out a plain white handkerchief to wipe her mouth. Finally, she lightly pursed her lips, smiled at Xu Xian and said, "I'm done. Thank you for the hospitality."
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, and thought to himself: "It would be great if this Pan Yu was a woman." But he quickly shook his head and said to himself, this is "The Legend of White Snake", not "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai"
, and silently recited "I am a man" ten times before getting up to pay the bill.
The pair of obscene eyes next to him had been fixed there since the two of them walked in. By this time, the drunkenness was welling up, and he couldn't hold it anymore. Seeing that they were just two weak scholars, he simply walked over and said: "Such a beauty is really
Rarely." As he said that, he stretched out a pair of big, rough hands toward Pan Yu's chin. Several people at the same table with him immediately slapped the table and whistled.
There was a sound of "Bang!". Not only the whistles at the table stopped suddenly, but also the noise in the wine shop. He focused his attention on Xu Xian.
Xu Xian stood up, full of anger, holding the bench he was sitting on just now. The obscene middle-aged man was sitting on the ground at the moment, covering his head blankly, blood flowing out from the seam of his hands, and no moaning.
But he was hit on the head by a solid wooden bench, and it took a while before he started moaning.
No one expected that such a weak scholar would do it at his word without any warning. Pan Yu, who was as calm as ever even when he stretched out his hand, looked at Xu Xian in surprise with his mouth slightly open. Is this really a scholar?
The middle-aged man's accomplices gathered around him one after another, shouting: "Brother, brother."
The middle-aged man covered his head with one hand and pointed at Xu Xian with a trembling hand, "Kill him." His associates immediately surrounded him.
Xu Xian was unafraid and said loudly: "I am a scholar from Jingtian Academy. If you dare to touch me, are you not afraid of being cut into pieces if you dare to touch me?" These words were spoken in a stern voice, and there was no trace of Xu Xian's usual casualness.
Gentle look.
The man on the ground shouted: "Kill him." However, his accomplices focused their attention on the only person at the table who did not move. The man looked like a scribe. After thinking for a while, he waved his hands, and the group of people supported the man on the ground.
The injured man withdrew, but the man continued to argue. The scribe's cold eyes swept over him, and he immediately covered his head and stopped talking.
Xu Xian held the bench and was on guard all the time. He breathed a sigh of relief until all the people left. He turned to Pan Yu who was sitting there peacefully and said, "Didn't you see the gesture I made just now?"
Xu Xian's forehead was now covered with thin beads of sweat, but Pan Yu looked carefree.
Pan Yu blinked and pretended to be confused and said, "What gesture?" Just now Xu Xian held the pedal in one hand and kept gesturing to Pan Yu's messenger with the other hand under the table, but Pan Yu just made and ignored it.
Xu Xian said anxiously: "Let you run!"
Pan Yucan smiled and said: "Brother Han Wen is a hero who is unparalleled and intimidates all the young people. Why should I run away?"
Xu Xiandao: "Those are unusual scoundrels at first glance. Some of them even touched their arms, and it seemed that they were with others. These desperadoes can do anything. If I can't scare them, you can
Isn’t it life-threatening?”
Pan Yu said with a smile: "If I run away, I will vent your momentum and put your life in danger."
Xu Xian felt helpless holding the jade-like gentleman in front of him, and sighed: "That's it, that's all, it's getting late, let's go back!"
The two of them walked out of the wine shop, talking and laughing. A pair of eyes in the corner stared at them, and after seeing the direction they were walking in, they left in a hurry.
"That move of yours was really shocking and could move ghosts and gods. It's just that if the identity of our Zhengtian Academy was revealed at the beginning, they wouldn't dare to act rashly. It would be bad if you angered them."
Xu Xian shook his head and said: "Mingyu, you have been born in a golden house since you were a child. You don't understand these people. They bully the weak and fear the strong. If you reason with him, he will think you are afraid of him. If you don't give him a wake-up call, he will really think that you are afraid of him."
If we are weak and can be bullied, they will take advantage of us."
