Osmanthus flowers are blooming in the courtyard, and Yan Yan is standing in front of the painting.
She still wears her hair in a bun with a red hair tie, and the tail of her hair hangs naturally on her shoulders, which is very pretty.
But some of her close friends have already combed their hair into a suiyunjing style, and she thinks that is more attractive.
It was not appropriate for Xue Bai to come to meet her. Because he was about to travel far away, he came over to talk for a while.
“What are you painting?”
“Zhongnan Mountain.” When Yan Yan saw that it was him, she muttered angrily: “I have only been to Zhongnan Mountain, and I can neither paint Li Mountain nor the Beibu Mountain.”
“Are you annoyed with me?”
“Are you annoyed when you go out to play without me?”
Xue Bai asked: "Do you want to go to Luoyang with me?"
“No.”
Yan Yan actually stopped being angry after saying that. She looked up and saw that Xue Bai was actually thinking about it. She was shocked instead and thought to herself that she had no excuse to go to Luoyang unless... she got married earlier.
.
“I don’t want to go, I have no story to read.”
"Then I will write a letter and send it back every month." Xue Bai said: "When the teacher's term is completed, I will rush back to Chang'an. By then...
"Stop talking." Yan Yan glared at him demonstratively, then said: "When my grandfather was the captain of Liquan County, he had Mr. Yin as his staff. Mr. Yin now lives in Lizhengfang. If you
If you want to hire him, go and hire him yourself."
“Okay, the master’s wife has told me.”
“At that time, I also wrote about the county captain’s experience. Do you read it?”
“The master’s wife has sorted it out.“
“Then you still come to me for advice?”
Xue Bai said: "I will feel at ease after asking for advice. After all, it was you who helped me take the exam.
“Thank you for remembering.”
They haven’t seen each other for a while, so they don’t know what to say. Xue Bai is a little curious about what Yan Yan will be like after they get married.
Then he talked about how Xue Yunniang began to control Du Wulang after their marriage... Gradually, laughter rang out in the courtyard.
Yan, the youngest son of the Yan family, stood in the courtyard gate and scratched his head. Seeing that the two were chatting happily, he couldn't bear to disturb them, but he still stepped forward and said, "Brother, I'd like to ask you to come to the hall."
"Okay." Xue Bai looked at Yan Yan and said, "Then I'll go."
"just go."
Yan Yan waved her hands as if she didn't care.
After Xue Bai walked through the courtyard gate, she stood up and looked over there for a while, then flipped off the painting of Zhongnan Mountain she was painting, revealing the unpainted figure below, and mumbled dissatisfiedly at the person in the painting.
One sentence.
“You will come back as soon as my term of office is over. It’s a beautiful idea. (Full????this book????520.???hand#打#Update#)”
NA
Xue Bai led the horse out of Dunhuafang, lowered his head, and could still recall Yan Yan's bright eyes and the shallow dimples when she smiled.
A girl always hides her thoughts, unlike a beautiful woman who always tells her what she wants, so he often doesn't understand her thoughts. It's embarrassing to say that although he has read thousands of stories, he rarely has the experience of being a childhood sweetheart.
Unavoidably, he walked a little awkwardly. When he came to his senses, he had missed the east gate of Shengpingfang. So he looked around and simply walked around Chang'an alone to say goodbye to it.
This area is Leyouyuan, the place where he feels the most at home in Chang'an.
During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Princess Taiping built a garden here. Later, the sage gave the garden to the four kings Ning, Shen, Qi, and Xue. The four kings built it. The surrounding scenery was pleasant and there were many tourists.
After going around in a circle and returning to the west gate of Shengpingfang, Xue Bai still couldn't bear to go in, so he went to Puchangfang to buy Hu cakes to eat. He preferred to eat dishes such as roasted lamb legs and water basin mutton, while Hu cakes only liked to eat Jinchang cakes.
At the north gate of the square, I passed by and the old Western Region vendor with a fluffy and gray beard was still busy there, as if he would never leave.
Xue Bai handed over two coins, and the old Hu man tacitly wrapped a hot Hu cake just out of the oven with reed leaves, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lang hasn't been here for a long time."
“It’s hard for me to still remember me, because I went out for a trip...
They are not familiar with each other, he doesn’t know that he is the number one scholar, and he doesn’t know what kind of story he has, but there are a lot of sesame seeds on the Hu Pancake, which is fragrant and crispy.
Going further, there is a horse and carriage shop not far to the north of Daci'en Temple. The owner of the shop is a returnee. When he saw Xue Bai from a distance, he rushed over to say hello.
“Lang Jun’s horse hasn’t had its hooves trimmed for two months, shall we let the villain do it?”
“Okay, brush it, I’ll come back later.”
"Okay! Mr. Lang must have gone on a long journey. His horse's hair is covered with mud. If you want to tell me, Chang'an is the best place in the world, why should I go there? I dream of becoming a native of Chang'an."
Xue Bai couldn't help but smile after hearing this and said: "I also think Chang'an is the best, but I don't necessarily want to stay in the best place."
Suddenly I heard cheers outside Daci'en Temple. Someone was performing there, causing a sensation.
Pedestrians passed by one after another, and some small stalls quickly packed up their stalls and moved to nearby places to sell. Grannies were hunched over, carrying baskets, and hurried over. There were flower sellers and fruit sellers.
Xue Bai then went over to take a look, instead of pushing into the crowd, he just stood outside and felt the atmosphere.
After listening for a while, he realized that he was actually looking at Aunt Gongsun. She had made a living nearby when she was a girl. Now she had temporarily resigned from her position as a worshipper and returned to her hometown. Before leaving, she wanted to perform another sword dance.
Most of the onlookers around were just watching the excitement, and occasionally some knowledgeable people could be heard talking about it, saying that Zhang Xu, the "Grass Sage", watched Lady Gongsun dance with a sword and incorporated the dance into calligraphy; Wu Daozi, the "Painting Sage"
After watching Lady Gongsun dance her sword, I was inspired by its charm, which evolved into a unique way of using the pen. Her momentum turned round and floated, and the wind moved all over the paper, which was "Wu Dao Dancing in the Wind". For the latest chapter, please go to [全~本520
The calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing of the Tang Dynasty filled Chang'an with charm.
Just as he was joining in the fun, someone pulled Xue Bai. He turned around and saw that it was a young novice monk. "What's the matter, Master?"
“Amitabha, the donor, can you want to watch the performance from a high place?”
"Um?"
The little novice monk smiled sheepishly and said, "As long as the donor gives me ten dollars, I will take the donor to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda."
Since we were just wandering around, Xue Bai handed over ten copper coins and the young novice led him up to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
“Hey, there are Xue Zhuangyuan’s poems there, as well as a copy. Can the donor want to buy a copy?”
“That’s not necessary. Is the mage making some pocket money?”
The little novice monk looked around secretly and said: "I saved up money to go to Fengweilou to eat stir-fried vegetables. The taste is the most authentic."
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda gets steeper as you climb up. Looking out from the highest window, you can even see the walls of the Imperial City from a distance. It can be said that you have half of Chang'an in your sights.
Xue Bai went up to see Chang'an first, planning to go to the fourth floor to watch Lady Gongsun dance her sword. On the steps, he saw that the young novice monk had brought another young scholar. It seemed that he had a good income today.
One of them Xue Bai also knew, Zhang Ji, who wrote "The Moon Falls, Crows Cry, and the Sky is Full of Frost". You can meet poets everywhere in the Tang Dynasty. Xue Bai has long been used to it, and he is quite willing to drink with Zhang Ji.
One cup, but today the other party has friends, so he retreats to the fifth floor.
Although the view from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is good, it is a bit far away. First, I watched the eldest daughter-in-law dance "Xihe Sword Equipment", and then watched her disciple Li Twelve Niang dance "Sword Equipment Hunduo".
They are wearing military uniforms, with their hair tied up, and their postures are valiant and unrestrained. They hold single swords with tassels on the handles, combining strength and softness. Their dancing postures are like rainbows and dragons, and they are majestic and magnificent, showing the spirit of the Tang Dynasty.
In the next few hundred years, I am afraid that no woman will be able to move the world with such a sword.
Looking at these, Xue Bai couldn't help but think that his feelings for Chang'an City may not be as good as those of these people in this world. In fact, he cherished Chang'an City even more.

“Xue Lang, something happened!”
It was night, so I led the horse back to Shengpingfang. There was still a hundred steps away from Du's house. Quan Rui had already hurried over. He should have been keeping watch here.
“Don’t be impatient, Uncle Quan speaks slowly.”
“Wulang was detained by the Nanya patrol in the imperial city and is still in Jinwu Prison.
“What did he do?“
"I didn't say anything before going out. I heard that he took some students who were not qualified to borrow books to the East Library to submit books. The whole volume is 520.????"
Xue Bai felt relieved after hearing this, comforted Quan Rui, and went to the study first.
(Full????this???520.????hand#打#Update#)
Outside the study, Lu Fengniang was crying, but fortunately she was not panicked; Xue Yunniang was really worried when she saw her husband being arrested for the first time after their marriage, and her tears kept falling.
“Brother, Yulang, he’s fine.”
Xue Bai waved his hand and led them into the study room. He saw Du Youlin sitting there holding a book, not knowing whether he read it or not.
“Uncle, don’t worry. I already greeted Genu yesterday to ensure that he is safe and sound.”
“I’ve never been worried.”
Du Youlin acted like the head of the family, glared at Lu Fengniang, and waved to her to take her daughter-in-law out and stop making noise here. Then, he called Xue Bai to sit down and talk.
“If you want to leave Beijing, especially if you leave Guanzhong, you must make peace with Li Linfu first, lest he take the opportunity to deal with you. Uncle Guo and Mrs. Guo Guo will not be able to protect you by then.”
“What my uncle said is true.”
Du Youlin couldn't control his expression. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xue Bai nodded.
Du Youlin couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is really...I originally wanted to find a leisurely job in the library, how can I do such a powerful job?"
The deputy land and sea transportation envoy is definitely a good job. Even if you don't intend to be greedy, getting this good job means a different future.
NA
The next day, Li Linfu only slept for two hours again.
He knew he should sleep a little longer, but there were too many things on his mind. He woke up at the slightest disturbance and could not fall asleep again.
During the discussion, a staff member stepped forward and said: "Right Prime Minister, a small matter has arisen... Those students later made trouble, and the Left Prime Minister had no choice but to come forward to appease them. The Jinwu Guards detained the leading few in Nanya."
“Du Yu?“
This was the first time Li Linfu thought of this name, because he had never taken this boy seriously. Looking back at it now, he could no longer even remember what the boy who was just lounging next to Xue Bai looked like.
Go and bring him here, and ask him if I have anything to say."
"Right Prime Minister? This... shouldn't be the case, right? He has neither official position nor talent, how can he be worthy of being summoned by the Right Prime Minister?"
"Bring it here." Li Linfu sighed: "It doesn't hurt to meet such a little person occasionally."
Thereupon, some staff went to Jinwu Prison to pick up someone. After half an hour, they led Du Wulang back to Youxiang's Mansion.
Li Linfu has already dealt with several official documents for accounting, and took time out of his busy schedule to deal with this small matter.
He was not worried that Du Wulang would assassinate him. He ordered someone to set up a screen and watched Du Wulang come in shrunken, his small eyes still half-closed, looking listless.
"See...I have seen the right minister.
Du Wulang shouted "Ge Nu" happily in private, but he was still very scared when he arrived at the Youxiang Mansion. He couldn't control himself and his calves were shaking.
At that time, his whole family almost became the victims of the imperial edict and was sent to Lingnan, but it was the handiwork of this prime minister.
Li Linfu glanced at him with majestic eyes and said lightly: "You have no energy at all. Did you sleep well in Jinwu Prison? But are you homesick?"
"Yes, yes, I didn't sleep very well. I... fell asleep at midnight. Not long after dawn, I was escorted out."
“Still sleepy!” Li Linfu couldn’t help but yelled, thinking that he only slept for two hours a day, “What can you accomplish?
"
"I...
Du Wulang lowered his head in shame and wanted to wipe his nose, but he didn't dare.
Li Linfu didn't bother to talk to such people. He sat down, took a sip of the refreshing tea soup, and said, "Do you know what you have committed?"
“We didn’t commit any crime, we just had a few arguments with those officials... that one.”
“Did Xue Bai instruct you?”
“That’s not true, I am a Imperial College student, a Ming Jing student in high school, and in Chang’an City... Well, I have a little reputation, right?
In the past, we often took them to the East Library to borrow books. Most of the supervisors did not study, so they were not as motivated as these students.
I just thought about it and discussed it with the left prime minister to see if we could be accommodating... and directly grant them a qualification. The method is also simple.
If you can write and do arithmetic, fill out a document for borrowing books...
Li Linfu actually finished listening to the chatter and asked: "Why are you looking for Chen Xilie?"
“I have some friendship with the Prime Minister Zuo.” Du Wulang responded, “My biggest connection in the court is with the Prime Minister Zuo.
"Yeah?"
“It’s true that the left prime minister came to drink my wedding wine and gave me congratulatory gifts. He also contributed to the death of my father-in-law.”
"Chen Xilie contributed?" Li Linfu was displeased and scolded: "Xue Bai used his true identity to scare Li Tan. When will it be Chen Xilie's turn to contribute?!"
Du Wulang was so frightened that he was frightened.
Seeing that he didn’t answer, Li Linfu said habitually: “When?!”
“I, I, I...I heard what the left prime minister said. I didn’t want to cause trouble, I just wanted to use my connections in the DPRK to ask questions.
I did n’t have to press the scene, and I did n’t listen to me.
“Confused.“
Du Wulang still didn't know where he was confused or whether the staff of the Right Prime Minister's Office couldn't stand his stupidity and reminded him: "Are you looking for the Left Prime Minister? Can he have the responsibility to stand up for the students in the world?"
"ah?"
The aide crossed his hands and saluted, and said solemnly: "In both the government and the public, only the right prime minister has such a broad mind."
Li Linfu nodded lightly.
He understood that Yang Hua had been winning the hearts of poor people, so he couldn't do nothing. Borrowing books was just a small matter, and by accepting it for this reason, it could actually show the majesty of the Prime Minister's Palace.
In addition, the sage wanted to use Xue Bai to investigate the king, and he and Xue Bai had a tacit understanding on this matter.
“The right prime minister?” Du Wulang was confused for a while and asked: “Then the right prime minister agreed.”
“Don’t cause any more confusion to the truth in the future.”
"Yes Yes."
Du Wulang was overjoyed. For a moment, he felt that Li Linfu was not bad. After a while, he realized that he couldn't heal the scar and forget about the pain.
“Here is a document, take it back to Du Youlin.” Li Linfu waved his hand impatiently.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion holding the document in his hand, Du Wulang still felt that it was like a dream.
In the past, he went to Jinwu Prison once and walked to Youxiang Mansion... He seemed to be used to it, but this time he accomplished a big thing independently.
Thinking about it again, when the government issued an announcement, the poor people all over the world cheered and shouted his name, but he did not join in the fun. At that time, he was setting off for Luoyang. After his success, he retired. Go, there are many realms.
“Luoyang!”
Back to Shengpingfang, Du Wulang said something forcefully and waved his hand to the sky,
He can finally leave home with his wife and no longer have to be disciplined by his parents. He can be free.
Just thinking about it made him feel happy, so he ran home quickly and saw Xue Yunniang crying and waiting for her at the door.
He rushed over and hugged her.
“Yun Niang, don’t worry, it’s not the first time I’ve been in prison... Do you know that we are going to Luoyang soon?
I will take you to see the beauty of Longmen Mountain. Hey, wait a moment, I will give this to grandpa first."
Taking the documents and going to the study, Du Wulang knew that he would have to be taught a lesson by Du Youlin again, but it didn't matter, he was leaving home soon, so he had to endure it.
“Grandpa, this is the document that the right minister asked me to bring back.”
“Bring it.“
Du Youlin Langlang glared at his son, took the document with a straight face, glanced at it, a smile appeared on his face, and turned to look at Xue Bai.
“It seems that I am going to the east as well.”
"ah?"
Du Wulang couldn't help but look at Xue Bai, opened his mouth and said a few words silently.
Xue Bai ignored him. He only thought that now that everything in Chang'an was settled, he could prepare to leave. He also thought about whether to go to Yuzhen Temple to meet Li Tengkong. Li Jilan said it face to face, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
