Sword comes

Chapter 401 Little Master and Little Girl

happy eleven~

The old Confucian scholar returned the certificate of customs clearance to the young man named Chen Pingan.

The master of the academy had a very good impression of this man.

The old master looked at Chen Pingan again, he was carrying a long sword and a bookcase, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Carrying a sword and carrying a sword, traveling thousands of miles, this is what we scholars will do, and do best.

Chen Pingan asked: "Mister, do you know a little girl named Li Baoping? She likes to wear red padded jackets and red skirts."

The old master laughed and said: "Who in our academy doesn't know this girl, not to mention that the academy goes up and down, I guess that even the capital of the Sui Dynasty has been visited by the little girl, and she is full of vigor every day, making us almost unable to walk. The old guy in Lu is very envious, he skipped class and sneaked out of the academy again today, if you came half an hour earlier, you might just meet the little treasure bottle."

Chen Pingan asked: "She left the academy alone."

The old master nodded and said, "It's the same every time."

Seeing Chen Pingan's worried expression, the old master smiled and said: "Don't worry, the little girl has gone out so many times, and she has never made a mistake. After all, she is an academy student, not to mention that the capital of our Sui Dynasty has always been stable, the folk customs are simple, and the Ministry of Rites is also an academy. Mountain Lord, I often come to this small east mountain to drink tea with several deputy mountain masters, nothing will happen."

Only then did Chen Ping feel relieved.

The old master asked: "Why, this visit to the Cliff Academy, I came to look for the little treasure vase to see your household registration on the customs clearance document. You are also from Longquan County in Dali. You are not only a fellow villager of the little girl, but also a relative."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "It's just a fellow villager, not a relative. A few years ago, I came to the capital of the Sui Dynasty with Xiao Baoping and the others, but that time I didn't climb the mountain to enter the academy."

The old master felt a little strange. When the children from Longquan County entered Xinshanya Academy to study, they first sent elite cavalry to pick them up at the border, and then His Majesty the Emperor came to the academy in person. My child, this young man named Chen Pingan, even if he didn't enter the academy, he should have seen it once or twice.

The old master asked: "You have to wait here for Li Baoping to return to the academy"

Chen Pingan nodded.

Of course he hoped that in the Cliff Academy, the first person he saw would be the little treasure bottle.

Thank you Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, and Yu Lu. Of course, Chen Ping'an would also like to visit, especially the youngest Li Huai.

It's just that none of them can compare to the little girl in the red padded jacket in autumn, winter and spring, but only in the red dress in summer.Chen Pingan never denied his selfishness. He was the closest to Little Aquarius. This was the case on the way to study in the Sui Dynasty. Later, he went to Daoxuan Mountain alone. He also only sent a letter to Li Aquarius, and then let the recipient's little treasure bottle The girl helped him, the little uncle, and sent them the rest of the letters.On the top of Osmanthus Island, the painting by Fan's painter was also only given to Li Baoying, and Li Huai and the others didn't have it.

Lin Shouyi and Yu Lu Xie Xie must be very clear about this kind of closeness, but they don't necessarily care about it. Lin Shouyi is a beautiful jade in Taoism, and Yu Lu and Xie Xie are important figures in the Lu family.

As for Li Huai, who is a good player in Wo Liheng, he probably still thinks that Chen Pingan or A Liang are the closest to him.

The old master waved his hands and said with a smile: "I advise you to put away your things first in the guest house of the academy. Every time Li Baoping sneaks out, even if he leaves early in the morning, he will return at dusk at the earliest. There is no exception. If you wait for her at this door, you will have to wait at least three hours, there is no need."

Chen Pingan thought for a while, then turned to look at Pei Qian and the three of them. If he was the only one, he wouldn't mind waiting here.

He turned to look at the end of the street.

Zhu Lian has been looking at the academy building behind the mountain gate. It was built against the mountain. Although it was newly built by the Ministry of Industry in the Sui Dynasty, it has been built with great care, creating an elegant and simple atmosphere.

This cliff academy, which was moved from Dali to the capital of the Sui Dynasty, was one of the 72 Confucian academies in the past.

This is the first Confucian academy that Zhu Lian saw after leaving Ouhua Blessed Land.

The sage's teaching place is famous all over the world for its eloquent calligraphy.

At the beginning of the establishment of Shanya Academy in Dali, the first owner of the mountain put forward an enlightened and righteous preface to learning, advocating that the four aspects of knowledge and speculation fall into the word of action.

When Zhu Lian looked up at the academy, Shi Rou never dared to breathe.

Although Shi Rou lives in a slough of a fairy, she can actually resist the invisible righteousness, but the instinct of ghosts and ghosts still makes her terrified.

Pei Qian never said a word, as if he was even more nervous than Shi Rou.

When she got off the boat in Laolongcheng, she still threatened in her heart that she would meet Li Baoping's Pei Qian for a while, but when she got to the gate of Dasui capital, she started to feel weak.

When I arrived at the gate of the mountain cliff academy, I was even more frightened.

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "May I ask, sir, if we want to visit Lord Maoshan after entering the academy and staying in the guest house, do we need to be notified in advance and wait for an answer?"

The old gentleman laughed and said: "Actually, the announcement is of little significance. The main reason is that our Master Mao doesn't like to entertain guests. In recent years, we have almost declined all visits and entertainment. The young master has come from a long way, and he is from Longquan County, so a greeting is probably enough, although our Mao Shanzhu is rigorous in his studies, he is actually easy to talk to, but the famous scholars of the Sui Dynasty have always been serious about talking, so we can't chat with Mao Shanzhu."

Chen Pingan still didn't enter the academy immediately, and asked, "If I remember correctly, it was the infantry commanding the yamen who were in charge of the law and order in the Sui capital."

The old man knew it well, he seemed still worried about Li Baoping, and said with a smile: "That's exactly the case, and the youngest son of the head of the yamen is now studying in the academy."

Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Pingan asked some more trivial matters about Li Baoping before saying goodbye to the old gentleman and walking into the academy.

Pei Qian walked with heavy steps, especially after passing through the gate, a section of gentle mountain road, like walking down a river and wading through snow.

The academy has a guest house specially for entertaining students, relatives and elders. At that time, Li Er, his wife and their daughter Li Liu lived in the guest house.

The academy only collected some copper coins for a symbolic amount, and each guest house was only ten Wen a day. After learning that there were not many guest houses, Chen Pingan asked for four adjacent guest houses at one go.

After each saluted, Pei Qian came to Chen Pingan's room to copy the book.

Chen Pingan took off the bamboo box, and even took off the gourd and the half-immortal weapon "Sword Immortal" on his waist.

Zhu Lian came to ask if he wanted to visit the academy together, but Chen Pingan said he would not go for the time being, and Pei Qian was copying books, let alone paying attention to Zhu Lian.

Zhu Lian went to knock on Shi Rou's door. Shi Rou felt uncomfortable and was in a bad mood. Zhu Lian said strange words with a dirty taste outside, and Shi Rou rewarded Zhu Lian with a word.

Zhu Lian had no choice but to wander around the academy alone.

Li Baoping may already know this capital better than ordinary people who were born and raised in this capital.

She has been to the Tianchangmen, which is nicknamed the Liangmen by the common people in the south. The grain that comes through the canal is stored in the granary after being inspected by the officials of the household department. It is the place where grain and rice gather from all directions.She once squatted at the ferry for a long time, looking at the busy officials and subordinates, as well as the sweaty porters.I also know that there is a Fox Immortal Temple that is full of incense. It is neither an orthodox temple recognized by the imperial court, but it is not an obscene temple. The old woman in Fushui, and the bone-touching master who was said to be from Kansai in the Sui Dynasty, the old man and the old woman often quarreled.

She has been to the Changfu temple fair, and there are huge crowds of people. She is very envious of a kind of snake made of horns. There are many rich people who come here, even those who are more arrogant than the rich and powerful The servants all like to wear black-skinned fur coats, pretending to be mink fur coats.

Li Baoping has also been to the edge of the imperial city, and squatted there for many afternoons, only to realize that there will be many husbands and embroidered mothers. These people who are not from the palace can also enter and leave the imperial city, but they need to carry Carrying a waist card, there is a Wenhua Pavilion that compiles the history of the past dynasties and compiles history books, and many calligraphers and paper craftsmen are hired outside.

Then go around to the back gate of the imperial city in the north, which is called Dijiu Gate. Li Baoping goes there more often, because it is more lively. He once saw a noisy disturbance in a miscellaneous silver shop. The soldiers caught the thieves aggressively.Later, she asked the manager of a nearby shop, and found out that the shop that was doing unclean business but making money every day was a den for selling stolen goods. Some hidden purses and sachets, even the tin pieces of a palace repairing the ditches, were stolen. It is lucrative, especially in gold and jade works and box-mounted works, which can easily be carried out of the palace and turned into real gold and silver.

Li Baoping didn't quite understand at the time, how dare someone steal from the emperor's house right under His Majesty's nose.The old shopkeeper who got acquainted with her smiled and said that there are people who do business called decapitation, but no one does business that loses money.

Li Baoping has also been to Xiuyi Bridge not far from Dijiu Gate, there is a big lake there, but it was blocked by the courtyard walls of palaces of princes and senior officials.The yamen of the infantry commander is located in a place called Diaomao Hutong over there. Li Baoping walked back and forth a few times eating cakes, because there was a classmate she didn't like very much, who always liked to brag that his father was the official hat in that yamen The biggest one, even if he peed on the stone lion over there, no one would dare to control him.

Li Baoping has also been to Zhongguan Lane in the south of the city. It is the place where many old eunuchs and white-headed maids left the palace to spend their lives. There are many temples and Taoist temples there, but they are not big. Those eunuchs and court ladies are mostly supporters who spare no effort , and extremely pious.

So Li Baoping can often see the hunchbacked old man, supported by servants, or walking alone on crutches, to burn incense.

After wandering around a lot, Li Baoping knew that the maids with the most senior qualifications, known as the inner court grandma, were senior female officials who served the emperor and empress. Was bestowed with the title of "Madame".

To the east of the capital city, there is the largest square market in the Sui Dynasty, with many shops, vehicles and horses coming and going, and the flow of people is the flow of money.Among them are the bookstores that Li Baoping loves to hang out in, and some courageous bookstore shopkeepers will secretly sell some books that are not allowed to leave the customs and leave the country according to the laws of the court.The envoys of various vassal states often send servants to buy privately, but if they are unlucky, they will be taken to the yamen to eat and hang up once they encounter Fang Ding's inspection.

In these three years.

Regardless of the cotton-padded jacket or the clothes, the little girl who is always tinged with bright red has helped many toddler old people who went to burn incense, helped the crying children standing under the tree, climbed the tree to take the paper kite,

Carrying an oxcart loaded with charcoal stuck in heavy snow and mud, pushing the cart with ragged old men, watching old people playing chess at the corner of the street, standing on tiptoe in antique shops, asking the shopkeepers about the prices of those copywriting confessions, Sitting on the steps under the overpass, listening to the stories of the storytellers, passed by the peddlers carrying burdens in the streets and alleys countless times, and persuaded the children who were twisted into a ball on the ground to break away

The little girl has heard the melodious whistle of pigeons over the capital, the little girl has seen the beautiful swaying paper kites, the little girl has eaten the most delicious wonton in the world, the little girl escaped the rain under the eaves, and hid under the tree The big sun, walking in the wind and snow to keep warm

Today Li Baoping went to the bookstore again. On the way there, I had lunch at a cheap and good-quality restaurant. On the way back, I changed to an alley noodle restaurant with ancestral craftsmanship. The old shopkeeper and the proprietress were very close to her. I'm familiar with it, and I often say that it should be cheaper, or I won't charge money at all, but Li Baoping didn't agree, saying that it might be cheaper next time, but the next time, the two restaurants didn't Such an opportunity, as time goes by, is just a little girl saying polite words, unwilling to let their small business earn a few pennies less, but they actually want to laugh, when they meet such a cute and sensible customer, they Even if it is not easy to earn money, I will not care about that little money.

In the twilight.

The galloping figure of Li Baoping appeared on the street outside the gate of Shanya Academy.

The little girl thinks that the book says that time passes by like a fleeting time, it doesn't seem quite right, why did she walk slowly when I got to her place, and I was so anxious to death?

A little girl in a red dress whose eyes seemed to only see the distance, quickly greeted the old master who was watching the door, and rushed past.

The old gentleman who was taking a nap remembered something, and shouted to the back: "Little treasure bottle, come back!"

Li Baoping didn't stop, waved his hands, walked on the spot, turned his head to look at the old master who was waving at him, and then ran back, not too slow

Li Baoping ran back to the door, stood still, and asked, "Mr. Liang, what's the matter?"

The old man surnamed Liang asked curiously: "Did you meet any acquaintances on the road?"

Li Baoping stared wide-eyed, shook his head and said, "No."

The old gentleman smiled and asked: "Then you didn't turn in from Baimao Street today?"

Li Baoping nodded and said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

The old gentleman smiled and asked: "Aquarius, before answering your question, you answer my question first, do you think I am very knowledgeable?"

Li Baoping thought for a while, "Smaller than Mao Shanzhu."

The old gentleman was so choked up by this honest little girl that he couldn't speak.

But think about it from another angle, the little girl compares herself with a sage of Confucian academy, it's a good thing, right?

So the old gentleman was in a good mood, so he told Li Baoping that a young man had come to the academy to look for her. An hour ago, he came and never left.

The old man smiled and said: "I advised him not to worry, our little treasure vase is as familiar with the capital as he is when he wanders around his own house, so we definitely can't throw it away, but that man was still walking back and forth on this street, and later I took care of him In a hurry, just tell him that you usually turn around from Baimao Street. He probably waits for you on the other side of Baimao Street. Seeing that you are not there, he walks a little further, thinking that he will see you sooner. The figure, that's why the two of you missed it. It doesn't matter, just wait here, he will be back soon."

Li Baoping turned around suddenly, and was about to run away.

The old gentleman said anxiously: "Little Baoping, you are going to look for him in Baimao Street, be careful that he is far away from Baimao Street in order to find you, and if he doesn't return the same way, you will miss it again. Are you going to play hide and seek?"

Li Baoping was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, circling around in place.

This is a scene that the masters of the academy have never seen before.

Li Baoping was about to cry, and suddenly shouted: "Little Uncle!"

The old master was startled, narrowed his eyes, looked at the end of the street in a daze.

Dressed in white, the figure turned into view like a white rainbow from Baimao Street, and then swept over at a faster speed, arriving in an instant.

When the young man stood still, his two snow-white sleeves were still fluttering, like a fairy exiled in a romantic way.

He stood in front of the little girl in red, with a bright smile, and said softly, "The little uncle is here." https:
