A life dependent on others.
In the He family, I didn't feel like I was living under someone else's roof. It felt like a distinguished guest, treated like a national gentleman.
After going to Qiao Yan's aunt's house, she was a servant, so it was foreseeable that she would be looked down upon, which made Zhou Xiaozhou feel a little uncomfortable.
Although being a waiter is a lowly job and not really a servant, accompanying a schoolboy is definitely a servant.
From being a book boy to being a top scholar, do you think it’s all about telling stories?
Qiao Yan comes from a well-off family, has never suffered any setbacks, has a relatively simple temperament, and takes some things for granted as she thinks.
Zhou Xiaozhou, on the other hand, understands better that the world is hard and helpless is more than natural. It's just that out of good intentions, she worked so hard to build such a way to get ahead for him, and she can't give up without trying.
They asked for two guest rooms, and Zhou Xiaozhou and Gao Biaoshi lived together.
Escort Gao has been meditating all night, and is obviously practicing some kind of magical skill.
Zhou Xiaozhou was a little embarrassed, afraid that he would make a fool of himself by doing something in his class, so he lay down and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Escort Master Gao asked: "Zhou Paigu, haven't you practiced the techniques given to you by the Escort Agency?"
"Yes, Water Tiger."
"How's the effect?"
"Uh, I can't tell."
Escort Master Gao thought he had accomplished nothing, so he stopped asking further questions.
After washing up, getting some food, and leaving the inn, I was stopped before I left the town.
One young man actually stopped a car to ask for his hand in marriage.
"This young lady, I am from Youxia Zhongjie. I met her by chance yesterday. I was so shocked that I couldn't sleep all night. I was afraid that I would miss out on a beautiful marriage. I came here specifically to propose marriage, hoping to give each other a chance.
I know that this move is very abrupt, but I can’t help myself. Don’t blame me..."
Yesterday I didn't even notice that there was such a person in the inn. Just one look made me feel lovesick and drunk.
Zhou Xiaozhou was silently praised by this man for his courage. You just fell in love with a bastard. Miss Qiao Er has a bad temper.
Qiao Yan's appearance is indeed outstanding. Zhou Xiaozhou has known her for many years. She still had a runny nose at that time. When she became taller and slimmer, she naturally wouldn't be astonishing. Unexpectedly, she actually made people fall in love at first sight.
"Since you know how embarrassing it is, just let me go."
Zhou Xiaozhou looked at this guy. He was in his twenties, good-looking, and somewhat elegant.
You Zhongjie actually got out of the way and asked, "Where are you going, Miss?"
"Empire."
"Can I come with you?"
"inconvenient."
This guy got out of the way, ran home, rode a horse, and caught up with him: "I'm on my way to the royal city as well. Do you mind if we go together?"
I didn't meet a bride-stealer, but I met a love-struck person.
"mind."
"You're just a boy, it doesn't matter if you mind."
This guy rode close to the car window, wanting to talk to Qiao Yan, "I'm downstream Zhongjie, could you please give me your surname?"
The girl said: "My surname is Chun and my name is Fang."
"Nice to meet you..."
You Zhongjie smiled and did not point out anything, and continued, "I am also going to the Royal City to take the exam, but it is still early and I am still a little hesitant. Now I just happen to go with the young lady, and we will go sightseeing together, which will definitely become a good story.
Maybe I can get inspired by poetry. Let me listen to you recite a poem. "
The girl said: "It's not impromptu writing, I'm not interested."
“Naturally it was improvised.”
He shook his head and thought for a long time, then said slowly, "We are destined to meet each other after thousands of miles away..."
Zhou Xiaozhou immediately interrupted him: "No, no, we are within a hundred miles of each other."
"We are here to meet each other due to the fate of hundreds of miles away,
There is a crow holding its beak.
Three feet above the head there is a spirit,
Talkative and talkative will stick in your eyes. "
Zhou Xiaozhou rolled his eyes fiercely. He was not as good as him at this level, but he was going to the royal city to take part in the examination!
But the road does not belong to him, and others can walk it, so there is nothing he can do if he has to follow him.
Qiao Yan said nothing and asked the girl to chat with him through the car curtain.
Find something fun to do to kill the boring journey.
Wu Shengguo is not a big country. It is located in a large mountain and surrounded by high mountains.
It is said that there are many immortal sects located in the mountains, which have become a natural barrier for Wu Shengguo. There are only seven or eight counties in a country, and the terrain is mainly hilly. There is a relatively flat area in the north where the royal city is located, and there is a relatively large city.
County towns usually only have a population of tens of thousands, and county towns only have tens of thousands of households.
Qinghui County is wealthier than Qingyuan County, and there are more business travelers on the road. It is different from Qingyuan County where only escort agencies and no business travelers are seen.
The escort agency here is relatively unsuccessful, and it does not prevent business travelers from going out.
Although the road faces the sky on both sides, it is still quite annoying to be stared at by a fly and buzzing endlessly.
Even though it was just a girl talking to him, this You Zhongjie was still talking like a chicken. He talked endlessly, showing that he was very knowledgeable.
Qiao Yan kicked Zhou Xiaozhou again, quite proud of her masterpiece.
"The six-inch golden lotus is in the middle of the hand,
I touched my thighs and then my hands..."
"Shut up."
Qiao Yan said angrily, "You are becoming more and more outrageous. You specialize in writing such obscene poems. You cannot be considered elegant. You must get rid of your frivolity."
"oh····"
Zhou Xiaozhou looked at You Zhongjie speechlessly, "Did you hear that? Don't write obscene poems."
"What I have done is a warning to the world. How could I be as miserable as you?"
If people are following you like this, you can't avoid them all the time. When it's time to eat, you still have to get out of the car and rest for a while.
This You Zhongjie talked even more enthusiastically when he came up to him. He boasted that he could write poetry at the age of six, that he almost became an immortal at the age of seven, that he had traveled all over the world at the age of eight, and that he was so generous that he had to treat guests to dinner.
Qiao Yan didn't dislike him, but started chatting with him.
Talking about classics and Taoism is a common thing in the school. Students exchange their opinions and debate with each other, and it has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.
Boss Zhou Xiaozhou is unhappy, but has no choice. He has indeed fallen behind a lot in his studies. He must make up for it later and get back the wasted time in the past three years.
It was definitely impossible to travel around the mountains and rivers. After walking for six or seven days, I arrived at the royal city with such a tail.
This is a very large city with walls more than thirty meters high and quite prosperous.
It is definitely the largest city Zhou Xiaozhou has ever seen. Just at the gate of the city, there is a lot of traffic. All kinds of cars and horses coming in and out are connected end to end. It is so crowded that it is slower than walking.
"Miss Qiao, where will you stay?"
"At the residence of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry."
You Zhongjie said: "I have relatives here who can live here. When I get settled, I will visit Miss Qiao and help her."
"Brother You, you're welcome. It may not be convenient."
"No problem, no problem, see you there or see you."
You Zhongjie didn't want to be trapped in the carriages and horses, so he turned his horse into the alley and left quickly.
Zhou Xiaozhou said gloomily: "Do you want to talk by candlelight at night?"
"Jealous?"
Qiao Yan smiled proudly, "Your proposal is a good one and worth considering."
