City

Pei Ziyun walked on the street. There were restaurants, teahouses, noodle stalls, snack stalls, rice shops, and cloth shops on both sides of the street, but the cloth shop was ready to close.

It was already evening, and there were still many people on the street, among which some young students were wearing blue shirts and walking on the street.

Just now, the four scholars were out of the dock. I don’t know if they were frightened or had a trip early, so they left in a hurry as soon as they got off the boat. Pei Ziyun wanted to say something, but when he saw them walking far away, he didn’t stop.

The streets stretched forward. As the sky became darker, many vendors hung lanterns in front of the doors to illuminate the streets. Many porters passed by, carrying goods on the shoulder poles. Every time they took a step, the shoulder poles shook with the goods.

A scholar in front walked out of the shop carrying goods. Pei Ziyun walked forward, and the sign was hanging at the door, but the night was a little dark, and I only saw it clearly when I got closer, and it said: "Li Ji Goods Store"

A few oil lamps had been lit in the store and the store was illuminated. Before the store was purchased, the owner of the store came out: "Does this husband want to buy some four-grade gifts to visit the adults? I have all the things in this store, so I keep my husband satisfied."

Pei Ziyun walked around the shop and saw that the goods were really good. He took a fruit and ate it. He also nodded his hand. He waved his hand and said, "Boss, it's not bad. Just pack me a four-box gift pack."

After a pause, he said, "Give me a gold silk gift box."

The boss responded quickly and asked the guy to go down and pack it, and handed the tea in person. Pei Ziyun took a few sips, and the guy took the gift box over with his hands and feet.

After paying the money, Pei Ziyun asked the boss about the tribute court. When he heard that Pei Ziyun was going to the tribute court, the boss came out of the shop and pointed to the tall building in the distance: "This husband, the tribute court is there."

Pei Ziyun raised his head and pointed the boss at the finger. The night was gray, and he saw only a contour, thanked him, and then headed in the direction. After a while, he saw the Gongyuan.

There are two lanterns hanging on the steps of this tribute courtyard. There is a golden plaque on the main entrance, with two magnificent gold-plated characters: "官网"

At night, the stars were still bright, but the ground was dim. Only two straight soldiers standing under the lanterns were guarding each other. A few scholars also looked closer and didn't move forward.

“It’s all about the way.”

Pei Ziyun had no intention of breaking in. The Great Xu system was established, and the county school was called the school society, the government was called the college, the province was called the Gongyuan, and the central school was called the Academy.

There are basically no guards in the school, but there is just a concierge.

The academy has guards, but it does not deserve a knife.

This province's Gongyuan is an academic important area in a province. It already has special guards with swords. Those who trespass the light will be taken, and those who are heavy will be killed. No one wants to attack the Gongyuan.

"But my residence is very close."

"The booklet given by Jiaoyu has written letters, and I asked me to stay directly by the letter. It is not far from the Gongyuan. It is very convenient. I must be Jiaoyu's friend." Pei Ziyun was looking around the Gongyuan.

It wasn't far away, I saw a mansion. It was close. The mansion was neither big nor small. There was a plaque "Fu Mansion" on the door. There were two rows of couplets on both sides of the door. However, the couplets were a little unclear at night, and you could vaguely see the words on it flying dragons and phoenixes.

I went up and knocked on the door, but after a while I heard the sound of the door opening inside. When I closer, I saw a servant carrying a lantern.

Pei Ziyun hurriedly explained his intentions in the future. When the servant heard that he was recommended by his old friend at home, he checked the letter and said, "Young Master, wait."

After saying that, he went in and reported in a hurry.

Not long after, the servant went out and led Pei Ziyun in. The gate was a yard and walked into the wooden corridor inside. The servant led forward a few steps and said, "Be careful, there is a step here."

As he said that, he turned around and shone with the lantern in his hand. An upward staircase appeared and walked into the hall. A few lamps were lit in the hall and covered with lampshades. There were some orchids and bamboos on the lampshades, and calligraphy and paintings were distributed around them, hanging on the walls.

In the center was sitting a middle-aged man, in his forties, with some beard and wearing brocade clothes, a little thin, and holding a book in his hand.

The servant whispered: "Young Master, there is Master Fu in front of you."

Pei Ziyun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Students have met Mr. Fu."

He handed over another letter, and the juren put down the book in his hand, took it, looked at it, and said, "It turns out that the scholar recommended by his old friend is welcome, so I will arrange for you to live here."

He said to the servant again: "Call the housekeeper to come and arrange accommodation for this father."

Pei Ziyun heard a "huh" sound, and looked up. Under the curtain on the right side of the hall, the face of a little girl was revealed. She was about eleven or twelve years old, very beautiful, but she was still a little loli.

Pei Ziyun was thinking, but the Loli who had seen it seemed shocked, her body shrank, and she turned back to the curtain and disappeared.

Behind the curtain, the window was graceful and the musk orchid was fragrant. A beautiful woman was cooking tea. When she saw the little girl peeking at her and was found back, she couldn't help but reach out: "You little playful ghost."

The beautiful woman took the tea out and looked back and saw the loli touching the knocked forehead just now with her hand, she smiled and said, "Don't make a fuss."

After saying that, he brought the tea out.

Pei Ziyun was talking to Juren Fu, and the right curtain was lifted. A beautiful woman with her hair tied up and came out with tea. The woman was dignified and beautiful. When she handed the tea on her back, she passed by Pei Ziyun and looked at her.

Pei Ziyun only felt his eyes twitching, and raised his head and looked at the woman. He felt familiar and couldn't remember who it was. The woman handed the tea and the doorman came to report.

"Master, four more ministers are visiting, this is a visit to him." As he said that, he presented the visit to him.

Mr. Fu put the greeting letter in his hand and looked at it for a while, then thought for a while, and said, "Just ask these four to come in."

After saying that, he turned his head and said to the beautiful woman: "Yun Niang, I'm so worried about pouring four more cups of tea."

"Yes, master." The beautiful woman returned with a tea tray, prepared new tea, and entered the curtain. The little loli squeezed up again and asked, "Auntie, how is this person?"

The beautiful woman of Yun Niang stretched out her hand, knocked her slender hands on the little loli's head, and said, "Xiao Xia, stop making trouble, I'll tell you after I finish my work."

After saying that, the beautiful woman continued to prepare tea and cooked it in the tea stove. However, the loli held her head with her hands, her big eyes, and her face was aggrieved.

Pei Ziyun picked up the tea. The tea was a little hot. He blew away the heat. After taking a sip, he felt a sense of comfort through his heart and thought to himself: "Good tea!"

After a while, a servant led in from the door. It turned out that Yu Guangmao and others were stunned when they saw Pei Ziyun drinking tea, and said with a smile: "Brother Pei has also come to visit Mr. Fu."

After saying that, he greeted Mr. Fu and saluted him.

The few people sat in separate seats. Yu Guangmao and Yi Xiucai were a little familiar with Pei Ziyun on the boat a few days ago. When they saw each other today, they looked for the seat next to Pei Ziyun.

Mr. Fu looked at it and smiled: "Several scholars have recommended them to come, so stay here, just prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

After saying that, he took a sip of the tea that Yun Niang had just handed over.

Mr. Fu has a good reputation and often helps scholars. If a scholar is recommended, he can stay in the room until the exam is over, but he can often only stay for one term.

Yu Guangmao and Yi Xiucai didn't want to come with a letter of recommendation, but they were approaching the state test. The accommodation in the hotel and inns in the Zhoufuzhong were rising, which was much more expensive. Even if the four of them raised money, they could not stay in a good inn. The poor inns were still a small matter. I am afraid that it would be a mixed bag. This is the state test, and it is impossible to get a bad fortune. Therefore, after searching for a while, I really couldn't find a hotel to stay in, so I came to Fu Mansion with a letter of recommendation.

Several people were chatting, and the right curtain was opened. Yun Niang served tea to everyone again, but she was dignified and beautiful. The new scholars had never seen such a woman on weekdays. They couldn't help but blush and lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at them.

Only Yu Guangmao was calm, but his eyes also avoided the beautiful woman and did not look directly at him. The beautiful woman brought four cups of tea with her. Her eyes swept over the new people. The remaining two swept past her and stopped at Yu Guangmao and Yi Xiucai for a while. However, when Yi Xiucai was a little regretful.

Until the beautiful woman left, the three scholars did not dare to raise their heads. Since Pei Ziyun practiced the pictures of hundreds of beasts, his ears and eyes increased greatly, and he heard Yi Xiucai silence in a subtle silence: "Do not look at what is wrong, do not listen what is wrong, do not look at what is wrong."

Listening to this man's silent recitation, Pei Ziyun only picked up the tea and took a sip of it, and a light of inspiration flashed in his mind: "I remember this beautiful woman, isn't it Master Yun from Songyun Sect?"

"Roly just now is the senior sister Chu Xia in the future?"

I immediately figured out the key points: "All sects have strongholds in prefectures and counties. Uncle Yun is checking who has the fate of the scholars who are in the exam?"

As soon as the beautiful woman of Yun Niang lifted the curtain and walked in, the little loli came up and asked, "Auntie, now you're done with your work. You can tell me what the person is here today."

Listening to the loli's curious question, she reached out and pinched the little loli's face, and said, "You."

Putting down the tea tray, she pulled the little loli in one hand and turned the corridor into the inner courtyard. The most visible thing was a pool with a small bridge in the middle and a mountain of strange stones next to it.

These strange stones meander and overlap, piled up on the side of the pool, with many strange flowers and plants planted. When you hear the sound of water in the pool, you can see that the fish in the pool are jumping and playing in the water.

Passing the bridge, there is a residence, which is two floors. Two large red pillars stand in front of the door to support the second floor. Candles are lit in the door. The candlelight shines through gauze, making the yard brighter and you can see clearly without lanterns.

After pushing open the door and entering the room, he checked and the beautiful woman said, "Xiao Xia'er, don't say these words outside in the future. If it spreads, it will be disadvantageous."

After criticizing Xiao Xia'er, she then spoke up to what she saw today.
