The lanterns reflect the water, and the boat ripples.
The night in the capital is very prosperous, especially the arrival of scholars from all over the country rushing to take exams, which adds a touch of romantic charm to the night in the capital.
On Rouge Alley, the busiest street, girls from every family tried their best to attract customers. A young man who set up a stall to buy books blended in, very conspicuous.
Most of the books on the boy's bookstall were old books, but there was a banner with the four eye-catching characters "Jinke Exam Questions" written on it.
It attracts everyone passing by to stop and look sideways.
A middle-aged man who looked pampered and dressed as a scholar, accompanied by several servants, came to the bookstall and said with a shocked face: "Brother, you haven't taken the exam yet, where did you get Jinke?" Test questions?!”
Zhang Xiu raised his face, glanced at the fair-faced middle-aged man in front of him, and smiled meaningfully: "My dearest lady, my dearest concubine."
The middle-aged man's body trembled, and he showed an incredulous look. He was stunned for a long time, and then asked tentatively: "How much does your test question... cost?"
When Zhang Xiu saw the business, he enthusiastically introduced: "It costs five cents a portion. Buy two and get one free! You can't buy it for five cents and suffer a loss. You can't buy it for five cents and be fooled. Brother, how many portions do you want?"
The middle-aged man frowned, with a look of doubt on his face: "Huh? It's so cheap. Are these test questions of yours real or fake?"
Zhang Xiu took a look at the middle-aged man in front of him, and couldn't help showing a look of care for mentally retarded children: "You only have five cents, and you want to buy real test questions. I think you are crazy because of poverty."
Middle-aged man: "@#¥%¥#@......"
You actually have the guts to sell fake test questions on the street. I think you are so poor and crazy!
The middle-aged man couldn't laugh or cry for a while. Looking at Zhang Xiu in front of him, he felt speechless for a while.
The whole world belongs to him. If he is so poor and crazy, there should be no rich people in the world.
This middle-aged man turned out to be Emperor Shun'an who had sneaked out of the palace and paid a private visit incognito.
Because his beloved concubine is addicted to Taoism and alchemy, he has not experienced the bliss of the world for a long time. Under the bewitchment of the eunuch, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, he has recently become obsessed with the fireworks woman. He often takes advantage of the night to come to this fireworks willow alley to linger. .
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to Rouge Lane today, he met his beloved concubine's "brother", and he came to sell "exam questions", which made him feel dumbfounded.
Looking at the "younger brother" of his beloved concubine in front of him, he suddenly felt a trace of evil in his heart. He smiled and ordered the eunuch next to him: "Go and take all these test questions. "
The big eunuch nodded with a strange expression, quickly took out the silver, stepped forward with a flattering smile, and handed the silver to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu was stunned when he looked at the victim in front of him.
Are there really people in this world who are stupid from reading? ?
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Xiu showed a smile on his face, put away the money, gave the fan in his hand out, and said: "This fan is also given to you. The fan inscribed by Taifu Wang Xu himself is not worth anything." Less money.”
The emperor was stunned and asked the eunuch to hand over the fan and read it for a while. When he saw that the handwriting on it was actually written by his father's teacher Wang Xu, he suddenly felt incredible.
Until he saw the signature of the poem on the fan——
Da Fu Wang Xu!
Although there is only one wrong word, it must be more than a little wrong. What the hell is Master Wang Xu! !
“@#¥%¥#@……”
The emperor was full of confusion. He looked at Zhang Xiu and was speechless for a while. He felt that the fact that Zhang Xiu was his beloved concubine's brother also needed to be verified...
At this time, Yan Feng led Ao Xue over with the candied haws in hand. Seeing the emperor, his brows could not help but change slightly, and he said: "Brother, I see that your hall is black and you are surrounded by evil spirits. There must be a monster in the house!”
"Be bold!"
The chief eunuch, the Chief Eunuch, shouted angrily and glared at Yan Feng with a fierce look on his face.
Yan Feng was startled and said: "What audacity, everything I said is true..."
Zhang Xiu stretched out his hand to hold Yan Feng, and said with a smile: "My brother made a mistake, please don't get angry, I will make amends for you on his behalf!"
The eldest eunuch's expression softened slightly, he turned around and said with a flattering smile: "Master, it's time for us to go. Miss Mochou must be waiting impatiently~"
The emperor nodded slightly, glanced at Zhang Xiu again, and said with a smile: "We are destined to meet each other. I will give you a future today. You must thank me properly next time we meet."
After saying that, accompanied by several eunuchs and guards, he walked forward.
After watching them go away, Yan Feng looked at Zhang Xiu with a puzzled face and asked: "There is indeed a monster in his family, why didn't you let me tell him?"
Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You don't need to tell me that there is a monster in his family. Didn't we know about it yesterday?"
Yan Feng was stunned and tilted his head in confusion.
Zhang Xiu glanced at their backs and said leisurely: "There are several eunuchs following that man..."
Yan Feng was shocked and said in surprise: "Could it be that he..."
Zhang Xiu nodded and said firmly: "You are right, he is definitely a eunuch too!"
Yan Feng: "@#¥%¥#@......"
A group of eunuchs come to visit a brothel? ?
That person should be an emperor, right? !
In the eyes of Yan Feng who kept rolling his eyes, Zhang Xiu tidied up the bookstall, looked at several singers dancing on a boat, and said with admiration: "It is indeed a capital city, look at this dance It jumped... so big!"
Hearing this, Ao Xue turned around curiously, but Yan Feng grabbed her head and turned it back, complaining: "Don't teach the children bad things!"
Zhang Xiu glanced at him dissatisfied and complained: "If it weren't for the two of you, I'm afraid even the oirans in the capital would have bowed to my elegance."
While talking, there was a popping sound on the river, as if something fell into the river.
Zhang Xiu and others turned around and heard a commotion on the boat. Someone shouted: "Come here quickly, the oiran is diving!"
Yan Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Xiu with strange eyes: "Look at you scaring people..."
Zhang Xiu: "@#¥%¥#@......"
It’s just talk, do you need to be so cooperative?
After being stunned for a few seconds, Zhang Xiu pushed Yan Feng hard and shouted loudly: "Help!"
Yan Feng nodded, then his eyes narrowed, looking at the sparkling river surface illuminated by the lights, his pupils shrank slightly, and said: "There is a demonic aura!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Feng pointed. As a white light flashed across, a piece of blood spread. Immediately, a woman slowly emerged from the bottom of the water, her petite body swaying slightly in the blood.
Zhang Xiu: "..."
Well, it seems that there is no need to rescue...
