In the past, there was nothing to be proud of for being sordid, but now there is no limit to the dissolute thoughts.
The spring breeze is so good that the horse's hooves are so bad that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
——"After Admission" Meng Jiao
Bai Fu looks free and easy, but he is actually depressed. He came to Chang'an just to compete with the young heroes of the world. Now that he has lost the opportunity to compete in Taiwan, how can it not matter? In the future, they will accept regular training from the army.
Training, I will gallop on the battlefield in the future, and I will never return Loulan until I break it. But I can only squat in the Forest of Steles and obediently follow the instructions, and study hard in the academy. Over the past few years, let alone making achievements, the gap has been narrowed.
When he was feeling depressed, someone knocked on the window lattice, and Yi Chan asked softly outside the door: "Brother Fu, have you ever rested?"
Bai Fu was overjoyed. He rolled out of bed and pushed his way out of the room. Yi Chan was still so charming under the moonlight. Yi Chan had been hiding from him for the past two days, and Bai Fu was feeling very angry. But he really saw Yi Chan.
Cicada, although Bai Fu muttered stubbornly, his anger immediately dissipated.
Yichan pulled Bai Fu and said, "Senior Brother Fu, don't blame me for hiding from you. I've been in a bad mood these past few days."
Bai Fu said softly: "Sister Yang, don't worry too much. I have never blamed you. If I could do it again, I would still not regret it."
Yichan shook his head and smiled, saying: "How can I blame you? If you want to blame me, it's because we are ordinary people, and our fate is in other people's hands." After that, he bowed his head and said nothing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Bai Fu was afraid that Yichan would be sad, so he hurriedly told Yichan vividly about Pei Min teaching him swordsmanship.
"The sword master will teach you personally?" Bai Fuyuan thought that Yichan would scream so excitedly to make the atmosphere more cheerful. Unexpectedly, Yichan's tone was cold and he said: "What's the use of having better swordsmanship? My father was also very good at martial arts back then.
"Gao, but I met..." Yichan hesitated to speak, and finally did not continue.
Yichan paused and said: "I have finally figured it out in the past two days. If you want to survive in Chang'an, the most important thing is power. Martial arts, talent, and even money are not important. Without power, you are someone else's plaything.
I can pinch you as much as I want. With power, you will naturally have wealth. Without power, if you have a fortune today, you will be in jail tomorrow. I just heard someone from the Sichuan gang say that even the royal family members, Ding'an
They also arrested the princess’s son Wei Hui whenever they wanted and killed them whenever they asked, let alone common people like us.”
Yichan changed the topic and became a little excited: "I chose to be Wu Hanlin this time, just to see if there are any opportunities suitable for our Tengda. I heard that our group of female disciples will not go to the army after graduation, but directly
Enter the palace and become a close bodyguard of the Holy Emperor or Imperial Concubine. At that time, you will no longer be afraid of being bullied."
Bai Fu was about to speak but stopped. After this incident, he had a new understanding of the saying "Being with the king is like being with a tiger." However, seeing Yichan so happy, he didn't want to disappoint.
Yichan said to Bai Fu: "Taifu Chen saved us this time, we have to thank him very much, and don't let others take it for granted that he helped us. I have been shopping in the market these two days, just to buy some antique jades for Taifu. Later I thought about it.
, we couldn’t afford it if it was too expensive, and people couldn’t afford it if it was too cheap. Later, when I saw the signboard of “Baopu Zhai”, I had an idea, so I went in and bought some expensive pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Taifu was a famous scholar.
, these things should be able to suit their needs.”
Bai Fu was a little moved, but also a little disapproving, and interjected: "Ms. Yang, that's not the case. You are indeed very thoughtful. I also thank Taifu Xu and want to repay him. However, after these two days of contact, Taifu Xu is outstanding.
, Geng Jie and proud, are the same type of people as Mr. Jiang. If we are like this, it will be a bit abrupt, right?"
Yichan said anxiously: "Why not? You are focused on martial arts and don't understand the ways of the world. Only when people move around more can they have deep feelings. 'The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water' is all a lie.
This is a self-deception made by a scholar who can’t help but be embarrassed to ask for help, but also wants to save face.
Mr. Chen is the first noble person we met when we came to Chang'an, so we have to take good care of it. As for you, you are good at everything, but you are not good at using resources. Take Qingcheng as an example, you are the master's closed disciple. If you use it well,
There is nothing wrong with Qin Yongjie. For another example, Gang Leader Jiang and Head Tang take special care of you. If I had the relationship between you and them, I would have long..."
Yichan is usually gentle and taciturn, but this is the night that Yichan talks to him the most after coming to Chang'an. Today, Yichan is riding a horse on a parade, looking heroic, elated and high-spirited. At this moment, he is even more excited and full of thoughts. Bai Fu is in a trance.
, the Yichan in front of me is so strange...
Bai Fu admitted that there was some truth in Yichan's words, but he was unwilling to accept it in his heart. He preferred to believe in the faith that he firmly held in his heart. This faith was called "truth" by Master and "sincerity" by Taifu Xu.
Bai Fu wanted to refute several times, but he thought that everything Yi Chan did was for his own good, so he held back and just hugged Yi Chan gently. The night was as cold as water, which made people feel chilly.
After Yichan finished speaking, she felt much better. She leaned against Bai Fu, looked at the Milky Way in the sky, sighed softly, and said: "Tomorrow, we will move to the martial arts school. We will not see each other until ten days later.
On the other hand, Senior Brother Fu, please take care of yourself."
…
This night, I tossed and turned, too excited to sleep. The scene of riding a horse through the streets today is still vivid in my mind:
The drums beat loudly, and the Desheng Gate of the Imperial City slowly opened. Dozens of Jinwu Guards cavalry flew out with banners, followed by Xinkewu Jinshi on horseback.
Among them, the No. 1 Scholar, the No. 2 Scholar, and the Third Prize were all wearing golden bright armor and red cloaks on their shoulders. The other Jinshi were also wearing brand new bright armor and green cloaks. They were all tall and majestic, and all of them were beaming with joy and high spirits.
The people of Chang'an had already crowded on both sides of the city gate and on both sides of the river, vying to witness the elegance of the new martial arts scholars. When the heroic and majestic young martial arts examiners came out of the city with their horses and whips raised, the people cheered,
The cheers were deafening, and the sound shook the whole street.
The huge glory makes every martial artist feel excited and proud. It is every martial artist's dream to show off on horseback. Especially when riding a white horse and passing through the crowd, every stop and smile will cause countless young women to scream with excitement.
Sound. Even the Shaolin disciples couldn't control that feeling, let alone those handsome and free-spirited young men from Bashu.
At this moment, Yichan gritted her teeth and secretly told herself that becoming a martial arts scholar was only the first step. In the future, she must seize the opportunity and prosper in Chang'an. The future, my future, is coming!
