Chapter 1017: Dengtuzi (Lecher)

A group of soldiers stood at the city gate, as well as yamen officials, one maintaining order, and the other collecting commercial taxes for goods entering the city.

"Young Master Wang, haven't seen you for many days, still so handsome." The squad leader bared a mouth of big yellow teeth, arched his hands and said auspicious words.

Wang Yan laughed, reached out and hammered his chest: "Haven't seen you for many days, you still don't have the look of a regular soldier, but you know how to use words."

"The little person is a Xiangbing, how can I compare with the Imperial Guard? My knife is raised, it is enough to scare people. It is not a bitter person who plays with life in the north, this life is good."

The little military leader had an indifferent face, still smiling.

This person said it very realistically. Although Xiangbing is a local soldier, and the main work is to do engineering, it also needs to spend money to support it. Being a big-headed soldier might not work, but being such a grassroots military officer is relatively moist. No big money, enough small money to spend, eat meat every two or three days, drink wine every meal, basically can eat enough.

The Song Dynasty had three redundancies and two accumulations, redundant soldiers and redundant expenses, and this kind of grassroots military officer occupied it.

Wang Yan smiled and let Little Dongliang take out a piece of scattered silver: "Please brothers to drink."

"Thanks to Young Master Wang for the reward." The little military leader took the silver and continued to bare a mouth of big yellow teeth.

Watching Wang Yan nod to them, and then carry his hands on his back and stroll away with the little book boy jumping and jumping, a newcomer asked: "Who is this Young Master Wang?"

"From Wangjiazhuang outside the south city, used to have a big reputation, everyone said it was the reincarnation of the literary star. Later, Master Wang and his wife died of illness, Young Master Wang took over the family business, only fourteen years old at the time, no relatives, and so many people staring at him, he not only kept the family business, but also did it much better. Young Master Wang hasn't been out for a long time, now calculate that the three-year filial piety period has passed, this year's autumn exam will definitely be down, and he will be an official in the future."

The little military leader threw the scattered silver in his hand, laughed and said: "Be polite to Young Master Wang when you see him in the future. In the whole Yangzhou city, there are so many young masters and sons, and Young Master Wang is the one who is willing to say a few more words to our mud-legged people. Did you hear what Young Master Wang said? Please brothers to drink! People treat us as human beings.

Young Master Wang used to keep filial piety at home and rarely went out. Now that the filial piety period is full, he will definitely come out to make friends in the future. We will not lack wine to drink in the future. Listen well, wine cannot be drunk for nothing, you must listen to Young Master Wang's greeting, and you cannot be a white-eyed wolf."

"Don't worry, the brothers all know it."

Nodded with satisfaction, the little military leader threw the silver to his confidant: "Go buy two chickens, the brothers drink some in the evening. Damn, the mouth is light to the point of birds..."

The scene in Yangzhou city is more lively than outside the city. Compared with the village, the buildings in the city are naturally more characteristic, and there are many pedestrians on the street. Because of the economic prosperity at this time, there are also many vehicles and horses coming and going, a kind of noise, which is another feeling.

Since the rise of the Jin Dynasty, this place has long been the border of the Southern Song Dynasty court, and generals with famous names such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong fought here. As long as you think of the scene a hundred years later, and compare it with the present, the contradiction comes out. Looking at the market in front of you like a painting, it adds three points of feeling.

Wang Yan walked with his hands on his back, wandering aimlessly in Yangzhou city. The little book boy followed jumping, and the silent groom followed behind.

Unknowingly, he wandered to the market. There are those who practice stalls, and there are those who open shops. There are cheap ones, and there are dead expensive ones.

Just at this time, a scholar in the distance stared at Wang Yan for a long time, and walked over in a few steps: "Brother Ziyan?"

"Brother Jingshu, long time no see, still elegant." Wang Yan laughed and arched his hands, his eyes still glancing at the girl behind.

This person is Liu Yun, courtesy name Jingshu. He is thin, and looks a bit feminine. He is four years older than Wang Yan, and has taken the state exam many times, which is a proper veteran player. Correspondingly, the family conditions are good, a merchant family, not comparable to Wang Yan, who only has a silk shop and a raw medicine shop in the city, which is a proper rich for several generations.

Seeing Wang Yan's eyes, Liu Yun smiled, spent money to pick up girls when going out, scholar elegance.

He laughed: "The day before yesterday, we gathered, and we talked about you during the banquet. If it weren't for the sudden change, Brother Ziyan might have been an official. Calculated, the filial piety period has passed, Brother Ziyan will definitely be down for the autumn exam, right?"

"Try luck." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "How about Brother Jingshu?"

"I am the real try luck."

Liu Yun's words were very natural, his mentality was there, after all, he was an old veteran of the imperial examination. He also loves to make friends, loves to participate in poetry meetings, and his family also spends money to support him in the academy, which is truly broad in friendship and has a certain status in the Jianghu.

He waved his hand indifferently, and turned to say, "Brother Ziyan hasn't appeared for a long time, do you know who the current prefect is?"

"Who?" Wang Yan was very intimate and held the gag.

Liu Yun was really happy, with a look of I knew you didn't know, so I will tell you generously.

"It is Ouyang Zuiweng, who took office at the beginning of the year. The scholars of Yangzhou, all admire his elegance, and compete to seek to see him. Last month, Ouyang Zuiweng traveled through the academy to give lectures, and it is still vivid in my mind. Ziyan might not be able to feel the taste. But it doesn't matter, your filial piety period has passed, closed for three years, must be well-prepared, recently make friends with me, will definitely be able to see Zuiweng's elegance again."

Ouyang Zuiweng, these four words put together, the first thing that comes to mind is 'The ring is all mountains. Its southwest peaks, forests and ravines are beautiful. Looking at it, it is lush and deep, Langya.... Drunk can share its joy, awake can describe it with text, it is the prefect. Who is the prefect? Ouyang Xiu of Luling.'

This is the terrifying memory of being dominated by the ancients across a thousand years during the student period. The ring is all mountains, uh... its southwest... uh... peaks... the first sentence can't be recited well, it looks like going to the Internet cafe to recite the text again...

Ouyang Xiu belongs to the time of frustration and healing at this time, because Fan Zhongyan's reform, the so-called Qingli New Deal, was strongly opposed by the conservative faction, or the vested interest group, and then triggered the party struggle. Fan Zhongyan and a group of reformers were referred to as 'party people', and Ouyang Xiu's masterpiece 'Party Theory' was born.

Renzong couldn't stand the fierce counterattack, expelled Fan Zhongyan, and the initiators and executors of the reform were expelled from the capital, which is the sign of the failure of the reform. As a result, a pile of reformist bigwigs were successively eaten, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Du Yan, Yu Jing were all expelled from the capital and demoted to the local area.

Ouyang Xiu is in the same line as them, first knowing Chuzhou, then knowing Yangzhou. And the previous prefect of Yangzhou was Han Qi.

I have to say that Yangzhou is a good place, a pile of bigwigs have known this place. In addition, Su Shi, who is only eleven years old this year and is still a little broken child, has also known Yangzhou.

Wang Yan laughed: "Brother Jingshu, are you confused? Since you said that the younger brother will definitely be successful, why do you need to make friends to see Zuiweng?"

The mascot was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Ziyan's words are very true, very true."

"Brother Jingshu don't worry, this year's autumn exam, there will definitely be you Liu Jingshu."

"Borrow your auspicious words."

Liu Yun didn't care at all, completely let him go. The exam is necessary, as for whether to be successful... love to be successful or not. This mentality is absolutely crushing the scholars of Yangzhou.

Wang Yan smiled, and was about to hold the mascot's good mentality, when he saw a girl with big eyes and willow eyebrows walking from not far away, wearing a brocade dress, walking dignifiedly, but faintly with a little girl's jumping. Behind her, followed a little maid, a mother-in-law beside her, and two long-term servants and boys behind her.

"Brother Jingshu, do you know whose lady that is?"

Looking at it along Wang Yan's gaze, the mascot shook his head: "Yangzhou city is big, the lady lives in the deep boudoir, it must be a long time before she has this opportunity to come out to play. I know many Yangzhou scholars, but I don't know this little lady who looks like a big family. Ziyan, did you fancy this little lady? Yes, Ziyan should also get married. Don't worry, don't worry, wait three or five days, brother will definitely ask clearly."

"Let the younger brother do it himself."

"How to do it?"

Before the mascot figured out the situation, he saw Wang Yan straighten his body, smooth the slight wrinkles on his clothes, and go straight to the little lady.

The mascot widened his eyes and asked Little Dongliang, who didn't know what to do: "Is your young master like this on weekdays?"

"My young master is in mourning at home, deep in the boudoir."

"That is really elegant, I underestimated him before." The mascot muttered to himself.

Dengtuzi also needs to have eyes, scholar elegance also needs to pay attention to points, this kind of girl who looks like a big family, ordinary people absolutely don't have the courage to go up and play hooligans.

After all, I don't know the background, and I can't grasp the points. If it is an ordinary market person, it may not live for three days. Even if it is a scholar, it is not useful. It is to implicate the family, and the scholar's elegance is best in the brothel.

So if you want to play hooligans, you must have power and background.

Master Wang is just a local landlord in a village, why does he dare?

But he dared...

Wang Yan walked over with a smile, was blocked by two servants who jumped up, the mother-in-law and the little maid were also vigilant, the little lady was not worried, just a face of unclear so.

"Two, don't worry, I have no malice." Wang Yan smiled at the two servants with unkind eyes, then arched his hands at the little lady, and said, "In the next Wang Yan, eighteen this year, parents died of illness at fourteen, took the word Ziyan to stand up, lived in Wangjiazhuang ten miles outside the south city, thin land, to provide for the imperial examination, dare to ask the girl's name and age, is there any marriage?"

"Dengtuzi! A thief, drive away, drive away." The mother-in-law waved her hand impatiently.

Wang Yan still smiled at the little lady in the middle, but quickly punched twice, hitting the stomachs of the two servants, and then two light hand knives, cutting the necks of the two.

The pain that the two servants wanted to export was beaten back into their stomachs, and they could only cover their stomachs and bend over, covering their necks and coughing, their eyes red and protruding, their necks and foreheads bursting with blue veins. It was really painful to the bone.

"Wang has no malice, nor is he the Dengtuzi mentioned by this aunt. It is really that parents died early, no one managed the marriage, so I had to fight for happiness myself. Just now, I saw the girl was decent and beautiful, and it was deep in my heart. I was afraid that I would miss it today, and the sea of people would be vast, and there would be no reunion day.

I observe that the girl is calm in meeting things, dressed in luxury, and has a degree in behavior, so she must be from a noble family. Although I have thin land, it is a world of difference from the girl's family. However, the universe is not fixed, the future is unknown, Wang is not talented, claims to have thin talent, this year may be successful, next spring may be successful.

To avoid the girl being promised to others by then, and to avoid me returning home and tossing and turning, holding regret for life, so I gathered courage, and asked directly, please tell me directly, tomorrow I will visit the father."

The mother-in-law didn't dare to speak at this time. Wang Yan called very politely, directly called aunt, and gave her face. Looking at the two servants who were coughing wildly, and listening to Wang Yan's directness, and there was no movement, she didn't dare to speak.

As for the little lady... the little lady was already confused.

Every girl in the deep boudoir who has reached the age has many fantasies about the husband who will accompany her for a lifetime, but it is the order of parents and the words of the matchmaker. Often, she only met a few times, and then married over. All understanding is heard from others.

This little lady naturally has many fantasies, but she has never thought that on such a rare day when she came out to play by herself, she would meet such a scholar who spoke wild words.

Yes, it is wild words. Saying that success and success is wild words, directly promoting herself, and the meaning between words is to marry her, which is even more wild words.

But she felt very exciting. For a moment, she was overwhelmed by Wang Yan's confidence.

She couldn't help but look seriously at the man who was smiling in front of her. He had a decent face, deep eyes, height that needed her to look up, and the smile on his face was just right, revealing confidence and indifference, even if this situation could not be said to be happy.

For a long time, watching someone attracted by the two painful servants, and starting to watch the excitement, she gave a blessing, avoided Wang Yan's deep eyes: "Thanks to the son for fancying, the little woman is the eldest daughter of Sheng Hong, the Yangzhou judge..."

She stopped her words, suddenly raised her head and looked at Wang Yan, pondered for a moment, took a deep breath: "The little woman is Sheng Hualan, fifteen this year, not yet promised, son see you again."

The speed of this sentence was very fast, the voice was very small, and after saying it, she hurriedly gave a blessing, blushed, buried her head, regardless of whether others followed, and passed by Wang Yan and left quickly.

Wang Yan patted the shoulders of the two servants with a smile: "Follow up quickly, take good care of your girl."

The two covered their stomachs and left gloomily. The mother-in-law and the little maid were even more so, the little maid was bolder, and dared to stare.

Coming to Wang Yan's side, who was watching the little lady go away with his hands on his back, the mascot asked with Little Dongliang: "Can Ziyan ask clearly?"

"Judge Sheng Hong."

"Ziyan is amazing, brother admires, admires. Just prepare for the exam with peace of mind, brother will create momentum for you today, and will definitely help Ziyan achieve good things."

"Brother Jingshu don't harm me, the momentum is strong, isn't it evil to the Sheng family? I will send a post today, visit tomorrow, talk to the Sheng family first, and then look at it later."

"Then you look at brother wrong."

"Why?"

"Brother..." The mascot put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and sighed with melancholy, "Can't hold it..."

Little Dongliang widened his eyes, wanting to jump up and hammer this dog day, gossiping is gossiping, and still posing, never seen such a shameless person.

"Young Master..." He puffed his mouth, gnashing his teeth.

Wang Yan patted his little head, looked at the mascot with a smile: "Brother Jingshu don't need to keep it secret for too long, seven days is enough."

"Is it settled?"

"Settled!"

The mascot clapped his hands happily: "Ziyan, after seven days, brother will ensure that you are famous in Yangzhou. You must prepare for the exam carefully, you can come to the academy where brother is, if the autumn exam is not successful..."

"Laugh at for many years."

"Then I won't talk much, goodbye."

Wang Yan smiled, the mascot is quite interesting, although the mascot may also want to see his Wang's meaning, entertaining each other.

"Young Master, this Liu Young Master is not a good person."

"Why?"

"Don't keep secrets."

"But he clearly told us that he couldn't hold it."

Little Dongliang is angry here, looking at the back of Liu Yun who left with the woman, angry and itchy.

"Okay, no harm, Young Master, I will be successful in the exam, and I will thank him for making me famous." Wang Yan patted Little Dongliang's head again, "How about the little lady just now?"

"Good looking, looks kind, can be the mistress."

"How do you see it?"

"Just... see it..." Little Dongliang racked his brains, thinking about how to see it...

Wang Yan laughed, and strolled with his hands on his back again. This time there is a destination, to go to the raw medicine shop that is relatively close, check the account there, and write a visit post by the way.

Dengmen, first submit a name post, Jianghu rules, not good to hit the door directly... ===== CHAPTER 1018 =====

To pay a formal visit, one must first submit a calling card; it's the custom of the world, it wouldn't do to just barge in...
