Long Chen was stunned. He didn't know these two people at all. He looked around and saw that there was no one else. They were indeed coming for him.
"Two girls..."
Just as Long Chen was about to say something, one of the girls had already stuck a small cotton ball on Long Chen's scarf.
The cotton ball was pink, in the shape of a heart, with small barbs on it. It was placed on Long Chen's scarf and immediately hooked. If it was pulled off hard, the silk thread of the scarf would be pulled out.
"this……"
Long Chen was a little confused. The two girls looked gentle and quiet, but they actually liked to make fun of others.
Before Long Chen could say anything, another cotton ball was stuck on Long Chen's scarf. It was apparently made by another girl.
After the two girls finished, their faces turned slightly red. They didn't dare to look at Long Chen. They turned around and walked away. After taking a few steps, the two of them burst into laughter like silver bells, which made Long Chen puzzled.
"Something seems wrong."
Long Chen suddenly remembered his father's snickering before leaving, and also remembered that his mother was a little weird today and seemed to have been trapped.
While Long Chen was walking, suddenly a group of men passed by in front of them. They were dressed in white clothes, wearing scholar's scarves on their heads, holding white paper fans, shaking them three times with each step, looking very chic.
Judging from their attire, they should be scholars from a certain academy, but their cultivation is very good. At a young age, they have already reached the casting platform level.
But with their arrogant expressions, Long Chen felt that he had to at least be in the underworld to be worthy of them.
These guys walked along with crab steps, as if they had a pole tied to their waists. The distance was several hundred feet, as if it was not enough for the eight of them to walk.
Long Chen saw that they all had scarves hanging on their necks, and the color was exactly the same as his. Long Chen immediately understood that he had fallen into a trap, and this blue scarf must mean something.
Moreover, there are many small plush balls hanging on these people's scarves. The minimum number is seven or eight, and the maximum number is a dozen.
When those people saw Long Chen and looked at Long Chen's scarf, a hint of ridicule appeared on their faces, and they walked straight towards Long Chen.
"You want to collide with me?" Long Chen was speechless for a while, okay, you guys are awesome, I'll let you do it.
Long Chen gave way. It didn't matter if Long Chen gave way. These people were even more amazing.
"I don't even dare to show my identity plate. Either I have no status or I am a bumpkin from out of town." One person sneered.
Only then did Long Chen notice that there were jade plaques hanging on their waists, with the words "Daxia Wenfu" engraved on them.
This is an institution of higher learning in the Great Xia Empire, with both civil and military skills. Many of the talents who come out of this place will become officials in various places in the future, and their status will be very prominent.
However, there are also some people who come here just for the name of Daxia Wenfu. Some wealthy families send their children here, hoping to give their children a dazzling halo.
Long Chen had heard about the Great Xia Wen Mansion. Although its disciples were both civilized and martial artists, they mainly focused on literature and had a strong scholarly spirit.
But Long Chen saw at a glance the small word "foreign" on their waist badges. To put it bluntly, these people were just from outside the country, with little knowledge and no airs.
Long Chen smiled slightly and showed his strength by despising others. Basically, he had very low self-esteem and there was no need to argue with such people.
When Long Chen went out, he was blessed with the power of his soul. Others could see his face clearly, but they could not recognize him.
In the Daxia Empire, Long Chen once served as a general who protected the country and raised his authority, and many people in the imperial capital knew him.
Even if these people see Long Chen, they will be given a hint in their hearts that they don't know Long Chen.
Therefore, Long Chen wore a scarf but did not show his waistband, which made those people look down on him, thinking that Long Chen's status was too low and he was too embarrassed to show it.
Long Chen walked forward and saw a man who was also wearing a scarf and did not show his waistband.
The man had a frustrated look on his face. His clothes were brand new, but Long Chen saw that the inside of his cuffs were very worn.
Apparently this man was so poor that he couldn't even afford a new piece of clothing. He spent money to replace his clothes, but the lining of his clothes was still old.
"Brother, why are you sighing?" Long Chen took the initiative to say hello.
"This young master..." The man was slightly startled and quickly saluted.
"You bastard, we are both the same, we share the same problem." Long Chen waved his hand and said with a grimace.
"Young Master, please don't belittle yourself. Your Excellency is handsome and heroic. Two young ladies are willing to confide in you, but you are still not satisfied?" The downcast man shook his head and said.
"How can you be satisfied? Look at those guys who just passed by. There were about ten of them. I was so jealous that I wanted to snatch them away. You said, this fur ball..." Long Chen seemed to understand the meaning of this scarf.
Keep talking.
"This is Xin Linglong." The man corrected.
"Yes, it's the "Linglong Heart". Do you know the origin of the allusion of "Linglong Heart"?
I'm not afraid of your jokes. I haven't read many books. I see you have a good temper, brother, and you should be a knowledgeable person. Can you explain it to me?" Long Chen said with a smile.
Your man shook his head slightly and sighed: "You are useless as a scholar. No matter how much you study and how knowledgeable you are, what's the use? The vanity of people's hearts is no longer ancient.
Sorry, I'm rude, I started complaining unknowingly. In fact, Linglong became popular during the Wude period of Daxia.
At that time, Xia Yin, the princess of Daxia, whose maiden name was Linglong, liked embroidery, was good at female beauty, and was kind-hearted.
One day, I secretly left the palace to play, and I passed someone while admiring the lanterns by the river. The head of a heart-shaped hairpin in my hair fell off and stuck to someone's scarf.
Because there was a thin hook on the hairpin, it was firmly hooked on the man's scarf and could not be removed. It took the two of them a long time to separate the hairpin and scarf intact.
After the two worked together, they became familiar with each other and fell in love with each other. However, later, the affair between the two was found out by the palace. The royal rule at that time was that the princess could not marry a commoner.
That man decided to join the army, and in more than ten years, he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to the rank of general with repeated military exploits.
However, during a fierce battle with barbarians, he was shot blind in one eye by an arrow. The man felt that he was no longer worthy of the princess and left sadly.
But just as he secretly left the military camp, the princess arrived dressed in fine clothes and brought all the dowry with her. Finally, the princess married him.
The story between the two people spread among the people. Later, during the Lantern Festival, unmarried men and women regarded this day as the grandest festival.
When a man wears a scarf, if a woman likes the man, she will stick her heart on it to express her affection for you.
In fact, Xin Linglong is a small lock that can be opened without a key. There is a piece of paper inside, which contains the woman's name, age, identity and other information.
If we feel that we are destined, we can write letters in the future and build a bridge of communication, alas..."
After he finished speaking, the man let out a long sigh. It seemed that he was also looking for a soulmate, but unfortunately he couldn't find one.
Long Chen rolled his eyes for a while, no wonder his father snickered, it turned out that he was tricking him into going on a blind date.
This reminded Long Chen of the Phoenix Lantern Festival, and he didn't expect that he would encounter a similar scene here after so many years.
Back then in Fengming Empire, Fatty, Monkey, Shi Feng and other friends were together. Looking back now, it seems like the scene happened yesterday.
"Don't sigh too much. As a man, you must straighten your spine at all times.
What, you can’t stand it any longer? Do you want to seek death and be done with it?" Long Chen curled his lips and said.
"You...how do you know?" The man was shocked.
How powerful is Long Chen's soul power? Long Chen already knows clearly about the fluctuations in that person's soul. This guy has already developed a will to die.
"Tell me, if you encounter any difficulties and you help me solve them, I will help you too." Long Chen said with a smile.
"I...I was framed by someone. They destroyed my admission certificate and I couldn't enter the Daxia Wen Mansion. I had no way to redress my grievances.
Now that I have the last money I have, I refurbished my clothes to see if anyone would favor me before I die, so that I can die without regrets, but... there is not even one..." the man said with a bitter smile.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "If it weren't for you to help me solve my doubts, to be honest, I really don't want to help you for someone like you.
When you encounter a problem, you don't think of solutions, but try to escape through death. The so-called mud that cannot support the wall refers to people like you.
Don't tell me that you worked hard, don't tell me that you have bad luck, and don't tell me how bad those people are.
As long as you live in this world, no one will have it easy. Remember my words: If you think life is easy, it must be because someone has shared your difficulty.
The mountains will fall if you rely on them, and you will grow old if you rely on your father. If you are weak, the difficulties will be strong. If you are strong, the difficulties will be weak.
Life requires making roads across mountains and building bridges across rivers. In this world, there are more people who are less fortunate than you. They have no time to complain or be depressed.
Because they can't escape, they know what kind of responsibilities they have on their shoulders. If they die, the people around them will have a harder time, and people can't be too selfish..."
Just when Long Chen was reprimanding the man, Long Chen suddenly saw many people surrounding him not far away, looking at him in shock. Perhaps Long Chen was boasting too well, and some girls actually
She looked at him with admiration, as if looking up to a wise man.
"Young Master, what you taught me is, I understand." The man bowed deeply to Long Chen, turned around and left.
"Hey, wait a minute, I have a sign here. Take it and your problem will be solved." Long Chen said.
The man smiled slightly and said: "With your sign, my current problem is solved, but when the next problem comes, no one will give me the sign.
Therefore, I have to solve the problem myself, and the kindness of my teaching will never be forgotten." The man saluted Long Chen again, turned around and left. Decades later, in his area, the Great Xia Empire gained a wise man.
Long Chen was stunned for a long time. He originally wanted to help others, but ended up scolding them away. Wasn't it a bit too much?
The man left. Long Chen felt strange when facing so many people's gazes, so he put the sign away and left quickly.
"Did you see the sign in his hand clearly?" someone said.
"I only saw part of it. It said "Protect the country and show strength", but the words behind it were blocked by my hand."
"Protect the country and show strength...General, my God, isn't this Long Chen?" Someone exclaimed.
By the time everyone reacted, Long Chen had already disappeared.
