Hello Chang'an Chapter 107

Chapter 107 Scattering with them

Until Cui Jing put down the pen.

Yuan Xiang then asked in a low voice: "Grand Governor, over there at Dengtai Tower... we should go there, right?"

Cui Jing glanced at Shichen and said "hmm".

Yuanxiang, who had been preparing to go out for dinner with his governor since early in the morning and join in the fun, smiled and turned around to grab the regular clothes he had prepared for his governor earlier in the morning.

Soon, a group of people set off from Xuance Mansion.

Cui Jing only had three people with him, including Yuan Xiang. They were not far from the Tai Tower and there was a lot of people everywhere because of the festival. The four people and four horses walked leisurely to avoid disturbing people and rushing into the street. common people.

As soon as it slowed down, the conversations of people along the street would occasionally fall into my ears.

"Don't you know, Dengtai Tower is very lively today..."

"As you said, is there any day when Dengtai Tower is not bustling?"

"It's different from usual... Today the Imperial Academy Qiao Jiujiu held a banquet to celebrate in the Dengtai Tower. He said that he had accepted a disciple, and she is a female disciple!"

"Female disciple?!"

"Yes, I also heard that today is the apprenticeship banquet hosted by the female disciple!"

"The ceremony of this apprenticeship banquet is extraordinary. There are many extraordinary big shots here!"

"Who are the big names? Tell us!"

Seeing Cui Jing reining in the reins and stopping for a moment, looking at the people who were discussing the apprenticeship banquet at Dengtai Tower, Yuan Xiang asked in a low voice: "Grand Governor, what's wrong?"

Along the way, they had heard in several places about Mrs. Chang's apprenticeship banquet today.

Cui Jing's eyes fell calmly on one of the people who left.

It was a man in a long gown. He was the one who initiated the apprenticeship banquet just now. At this time, he left the few people to discuss it while he walked away -

He walked towards the front where the crowd was denser, his eyes searching, as if searching for something.

"Let people follow this person secretly and pay attention to whether there are any inaccuracies or deficiencies in his words. If he is suspected of spreading rumors and slander, he will be immediately taken to Xuance Mansion for interrogation." Cui Jing said.

Yuan Xiang agreed, turned around and whispered to another subordinate to follow the man.

It's not that he is lazy, but that he has been following the Governor all year round. Many people have seen him. He uses his face too much, so he is not suitable for these secret tracking errands.

The subordinate agreed and left quickly.

Cui Jing simply dismounted, sat down in the tea shed set up outside the street teahouse, and ordered a pot of herbal tea.

"It's really hot today." Yuanxiang poured a bowl of tea into his stomach and wiped his sweat with his sleeve. He noticed that many young ladies passing by were quietly looking towards this place, so he followed their lead. His eyes followed him and finally landed on his own Grand Governor who was sitting there drinking tea.

Yuan Xiang looked at his governor, and at this moment he just wanted to sigh in his heart that God was unfair.

It's just the governor's face. The foundation given by his parents is really good, so good that he doesn't care about the lives of others. Even though his skin color has become much rougher after two years of leading troops and fighting abroad, he has returned to the capital after covering himself for a few months.

Yuan Xiang carefully looked at his governor's eyebrows, the bridge of his nose... and then looked at the sweat on his forehead. He felt that he was handsome to a certain extent, and even the sweat beads showed a clean and crystal handsome look!

Not to mention the little ladies who met their governor for the first time, even when he looked at them, they all felt relaxed and happy, like the cold mountain spring washing their hearts, and the heat was dissipated a lot, making people feel that the beauty of summer is nothing more than this.

"Brother Yuanxiang, let's have another bowl to cool off the heat!" The brother who was traveling with him handed me another bowl of herbal tea.

"Thank you, brother." Yuan Xiang took the tea bowl and couldn't thank him the next moment.

He lowered his head to get ready to drink water, and he was caught off guard when he saw the originally dull face reflected in the tea, which was now glossy due to the heat, and was too oily -

Yuan Xiang curled his lips and suddenly lost his intention to drink tea.

This curl of the lips made matters worse.

If the Governor's face made the ladies feel that summer was beautiful, then his behavior simply made them more and more irritated and they would forget about it when they went home.

Looking at the tea bowls in the hands of himself and the governor, he also felt that the same bowl had different fates.

The governor's tea bowl - the blessing gained from the past life.

His tea bowl—if he had known it would be broken today.

"Brother Yuan Xiang, many girls are peeking at our governor..." His companion whispered enviously: "The governor doesn't have to worry about getting a wife just because of his face."

Yuan Xiang couldn't help but sigh.

But it happens that the person who is least worried about getting a wife has no intention of getting a wife at all.

After the pot of tea was finished, the subordinate who was in charge of following people turned back.

"Reporting to the Governor, the man only spread the news about the Dengtai Tower Appreciation Banquet with others along the way, and there was no hint of slander in his words." The subordinate reported to Cui Jing in a low voice: "But what is suspicious is that the subordinate also discovered something else. It seems that people who have the same behavior as this person are also spreading the matter of the apprenticeship banquet everywhere. It seems that it is accidental... According to the governor, is it necessary to have someone intervene in this matter? "

"Yes." Cui Jing said, "Then let others spread with them."

subordinate:"?"

Cui Jing had already stood up from the tea table. Yuan Xiang took out a piece of broken silver and placed it on the table. Before leaving, he whispered to the puzzled companion: "Just go and do as you are told!"

He has understood that the person spreading the news is probably Mrs. Chang's own arrangement.

"Captain, Madam Chang really likes the excitement..." Following Cui Jing on the horse, Yuan Xiang couldn't help but whisper: "Today Madam Chang held a banquet for apprenticeship at Dengtai Tower. People on these two streets only I'm afraid they all know.”

As he said this, he couldn't help but look at his own governor.

Although Mrs. Chang's move was a bit public, it was generally in line with Mrs. Chang's style... But interfering in such matters was definitely not the style of her own governor.

"Grand Governor..." Yuan Xiang asked cautiously: "In your eyes, what kind of girl is Mrs. Chang?"

Cui Jing glanced at him: "Will it kill you if you speak less?"

Yuan Xiang immediately pursed his lips and pretended to be silent.

Cui Jing drove his horse forward and looked ahead.

His horse was not fast, so the crowd calmly avoided him. The laughter and shouts mixed with the smell of mugwort in the scorching air to form a unique atmosphere, floating and lingering around him.

The scorching sun was scorching, and the shooting court of the Imperial College three days ago was also shrouded in this heat.

Cui Jing's eyes flashed to the scene when the girl handed the bow stick out - what she returned was Qiao Yubai's bow stick, and it was also the justice she snatched back for everyone.

When she faced Chang Miao on the field, he thought it was a giant bullying a child, but looking back now, she was thin and didn't have any advantage in terms of innate conditions.

Her small movements were fast, accurate, cruel and sharp. Others could not see them clearly, but he could see them very clearly - she knew very well where her strengths and weaknesses were. She was still short in martial arts and had insufficient strength, so she mostly used clever skills.

Therefore, what really suppresses the opponent is not her appearance and strength, but her fighting style and momentum.

The fighting style is the way of fighting in the military.

Momentum is the aura of fearlessness.

Speaking of her sense of fearlessness, he had already noticed it when she faced the attack of the divine elephant at Dayun Temple.

No, or at an earlier time...

Long before he met her for the first time.

On the way back to Beijing, the class teacher was assassinated on the day Wei Shuyi was assassinated—

Strange to say, he had not really paid attention to her at that time, and his eyes had not really stayed on her, but now it seemed that he had returned to the time when they first met, and everything was inexplicably clear.

It was dusk, and she and Wei Shuyi came out of the mountains and forests together. They were dressed as teenagers, and they really looked like a real teenager. Because they had just experienced a near-death escape, she was in a very embarrassed state, and her robe was torn. , there were grass clippings and broken leaves in his hair. But her eyes were calm.

Apart from the embarrassment on the outside, it was impossible to tell what she had just experienced.

Cui Jing looked ahead while riding his horse, but in his mind, he seemed to have returned to that day, and looked into those fearless eyes in the dim twilight.

So, if you ask her what kind of girl she is...

He believes that the word "girl" should be put aside first, and there is no need to limit the evaluation of her based on the distinction between men and women -

She is undoubtedly a very different person and one who deserves to be appreciated.

She is like a green bamboo shoot that has just broken through the ground. It is full of vitality and grows very fast. It only takes a spring rain to turn into a straight green bamboo in the blink of an eye.

So, what happens after that?

If she were allowed to grow like this, what would she look like?

There was a look of thought hidden in Cui Jing's eyebrows.

Dengtai Tower arrived soon.

Yipot, who was waiting outside the building, just saw Cui Jing and others coming, so he hurriedly ran into the building and told his husband: "My husband, my husband, the husband is really here!"

It's a pity that he waited outside in the scorching sun, and now the pot of water is about to smoke.

Cui Lang ran out like a gust of wind.

"Eldest brother!"

When he came forward to greet him, Cui Jing had just dismounted.

"The eldest brother is here!" Cui Lang bravely took the reins from Cui Jing's hand and diligently led the horse for his eldest brother.

Yuan Xiang, who dismounted, took out an invitation from his arms.

Cui Lang saw the invitation with sharp eyes, suppressed the sudden sadness in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Is the eldest brother also invited by Mrs. Chang?"

Cui Jing caught a glimpse of his expression, paused, and said, "By the way."

Cui Lang, who followed Cui Jing to the restaurant, felt a glimmer of hope in his heart - the eldest brother had dropped by to attend Mrs. Chang's apprenticeship banquet, right?

Looking at Hu Huan, Xi Zhiyuan and others who also came out, Cui Jing said: "You feel uncomfortable with me by your side - this jar of wine is specially brought here to entertain you."

Yuan Xiang had taken off the wine jar hanging on his horse and walked over.

Cui Lang's eyes lit up, he reached over the pot, took the jar of wine and hugged it with one hand: "Thank you, brother!"

Seeing the worthless appearance of her husband, she sighed with emotion, just a jar of wine can make her husband happy.

Cui Lang happily hugged the wine jar and followed Cui Jing inside, but was stopped by the waiter.

"What are you doing?" Cui Lang hugged the wine jar tighter - aren't you ready to prepare your own wine?

The waiter smiled apologetically and reminded: "Mr. Sir, how about you give the horse to the villain?"

This is all brought to their lobby!

Although he could guess the identities of the two brothers and knew that the owner of the horse was the one from Xuance Mansion, he didn't want to do this.

Cui Lang came to his senses and handed the reins to the man, not forgetting to explain: "This is my eldest brother's horse, it's a good horse to feed!"

The clerk responded enthusiastically.

Yuan Xiang showed the invitation to the Chang family servants waiting at the stairs, and Cui Jing went up to the second floor.

Cui Lang held the jar of wine and showed off to his classmates with excitement: "My eldest brother brought this specially from Xuance Mansion!"

His tone was quite imposing, and with such exaggeration, everyone couldn't help but look at the jar of wine with awe in their eyes.

Hu Huan even had the illusion that after drinking this, he could flip directly onto the battlefield and kill a hundred enemies immediately.

Cui Jing has arrived at the second floor.

He arrived late. Looking at it, many people were already seated and the apprenticeship ceremony had already begun.

Cui Jing stopped the servant who was about to speak, signaling not to disturb or disturb him.

He walked to Chang Sui'an who was standing aside and stopped, his eyes falling on the girl who was performing the apprenticeship ceremony.

Chang Suining raised his hand to salute and lowered his eyes to bow.

Seeing this scene, Chang Sui'an resisted the tears in his eyes and turned his head.

"?" Cui Jing looked at him confused.

Chang Sui'an choked and whispered: "I...I just thought of the scene when my sister left home when she got married."

Cui Jing: "..."

Chang Sui Ning bowed three times, and Qiao Jijiu smiled and waved to her: "Come here as my teacher."

Changsui Ning then stepped forward.

"Master, I have also prepared a apprenticeship ceremony for you." While Qiao Jijiu was talking, a book boy came over holding a long box.

Everyone looked at the long box.

The dozen or so Imperial College students who were invited already had the answer in their minds.

Someone compared the length of the box and whispered: "When did Jijiu catch such a long fish..."

"Since it was put in the box, it must have been dried into salted fish."

Therefore, Chang Suining was also prepared to see a long and salty dried fish.

But the box was opened by the bookboy, and what Qiao Yang took out was an umbrella.

The umbrella handle is made of fine purple bamboo, and the umbrella surface is painted with green landscapes.

"This umbrella was made by your own hands as a teacher. I haven't even bothered to catch fish in the past three days..." Mrs. Wang smiled and looked at Qiao Jijiu, and said to Chang Sui Ning in a warm voice: "Take it. "

Chang Suining came to his senses, took it with both hands, and held it in front of him.

She looked over and saw Qiao Yang and Wang, both looking at her with smiles. Looking to the side, there was Lao Chang with a happy face.

Giving an umbrella means protection.

But without this umbrella, without this apprenticeship banquet, they would still be protecting her.

They had been her family a long time ago.

But what she wants to do more is to be the one who protects them one day.

"Thank you teacher for the gift." Chang Sui Ning said seriously: "Students holding this umbrella must be determined to pursue knowledge. No matter whether it is sunny, frost or snow, wind or rain, no matter day or night, they must be diligent and enterprising."

Qiao Jijiu was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he couldn't help but nodded happily: "Okay, very good..."

The very good thing is that he himself didn't know that giving an umbrella could have such a profound meaning.

Sure enough, sensible students know how to help teachers improve their intentions.

Most people around were smiling and nodding.

"Why do you suddenly think that the student's collection of sacrificial wine...isn't so ridiculous?" A supervisor whispered again and again.

The classmates around him nodded with deep understanding.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, Chang Suining saw Cui Jing standing aside to watch the ceremony and walked towards him.

Goodnight everybody! !
