Fang Zhengzheng actually didn't walk too fast. If he really galloped on his horse and used the strength of his feet to ride on the snow dragon pony, it would only take a month to get from Golden Scale City to Yanjing. ￥f vertex said,...
However, he was not in too much of a hurry.
One is that he wants to prepare well for this imperial examination, and the other is that the entire Daxia Dynasty is now talking about him becoming Amaterasu, and he wants to take a look.
From Beimo to Yanjing, in teahouses in major prefectures and counties, Fang Zhengyi could always hear the calligraphers telling the story of how Fang Zhengzheng became Amaterasu, but the versions were different. In addition, there were also Children playing in the streets also made songs about Fangzheng Amaterasu.
The general meaning is that from a poor mountain village, there was a man named Fang Zhengzheng, who topped both the county and government examinations, and was already Amaterasu at the age of fifteen.
In general, Fang Zhengzheng's image is much better now than when he took the Xinhe Prefecture Examination. He has become a good example for ordinary people and poor farmers in educating their children.
It is very popular especially among children.
You can often see a child deliberately wearing a blue gown in the streets, holding a wooden sword in his hand and shouting, "Fang Zhengzheng is here."
When Fang Zhengzheng heard this loud shout for the first time, he was also startled. His heart couldn't bear it at all. The most important thing was that the appearance of those naughty children with runny noses was really unflattering.
However, Fang Zhengzheng really admired Su Jiu's propaganda methods and methods.
Teahouse…
Children's songs are indeed the fastest way to spread.
I walked and stopped along the way, listening to storytelling and looking at the mountains and rivers. When I found a place with beautiful wind and shadows, I waved my hand and booked a loft to warm up and read. Enjoy tea.
This is not Fang Zhengzheng's coquettishness.
In fact, he has a feeling that when he arrives in Yanjing, he will probably not be as leisurely and poetic as he is now, and he will have to work hard to stay alive.
But even so, with the strength of his feet, he still arrived at Yanjing in two months, which was earlier than Zheng Zheng expected.
"We're finally here..." Raising his head and looking at the three big characters "Yanjing City" on the city wall, Fang Zhengzheng changed into a comfortable position again and dozed off. Walk towards the city gate.
"I guess all the inns in Yanjing will be crowded during this period. Why don't you stay with me?" Yan Xiu knew very well how lively Yanjing was during the imperial examination.
For the biennial grand ceremony, people from all over the world gathered in this imperial capital. Not only did they come to rush for the exam, but they also came to see the lively scene. Officials from all over the country also took the opportunity to get together and reminisce about the friendship in the exam room in the past. .
"Live together? There should be a lot of trouble in Yanjing. Can you stop it?" Fang Zhengzheng certainly knew what Yan Xiu meant. The inn was full of reasons for one thing, but the bigger reason was that Yan Xiu was not at ease. Fang Zhengzheng is a person.
"Try it." Yan Xiu replied calmly.
"Okay. Let's give it a try." Fang Zhengzheng did not shirk. Yan Xiu regarded him as a friend, and he also regarded Yan Xiu as a friend. Since they were friends. There is not much politeness to each other.
…
The two men and their horses passed through the city gate at the same time. The sergeants responsible for guarding the city gate were stunned for a moment when they saw the two men dismounting from the snow-trodden dragon pony. The eyes of the sergeants were all shining with light.
The Snow-Treading Dragon Horse is the endorsement of the Northern Desert Divine Marquis Mansion.
Now the news is spreading throughout the Great Xia Dynasty that Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu entered Beijing riding a snow dragon pony. So, under such attire. The two young men walking together were too eye-catching, so soon, two names flashed in the minds of the sergeants at the city gate almost at the same time.
"Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu have entered Yanjing City!"
As soon as he thought of this, a sergeant quickly turned around and ran towards the city. His expression looked a little anxious, and he was probably going to send a message.
Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu looked relatively indifferent to this, because along the way, when they passed through Fucheng and county towns, the same thing would happen, and they were almost used to it.
"Let's go!"
"Um."
…
Tingxiang Tower is the oldest teahouse in Yanjing City. It is said to have a history of hundreds of years. Celebrities from all over the world gathered here to drink tea and discuss Taoism.
Then, they would write the Spring and Autumn Period on the walls of the teahouse, some expressing emotions, chanting about objects, and even talking about repaying defeat, fighting with iron horses, and being arrogant.
This also left many famous sayings on the walls of the tea house, which also attracted some officials who came and went to come and appreciate them.
With more people, the business of the teahouse is getting better and better. Even the utensils in the teahouse have a natural tea fragrance under this influence.
In Tingxiang Tower, there is also a most exquisitely decorated elegant room.
There are many rich and powerful people in Yanjing City, but there are no more than twenty people in the entire Yanjing City who can let the teahouse owner open this elegant room.
There are three people in this elegant room now.
Two women and one man.
However, soon there was only one woman and one man left, because after a maid finished brewing the tea, she slowly and respectfully left the private room.
A wisp of fragrance and a touch of heat slowly floated in the elegant room, overflowing with a trace of white fragrance, floating in the elegant room, making people feel relaxed.
"Brother Ninth, I'm not feeling well!" A delicate voice came from the girl's mouth, clear and sweet, and somewhat inconsistent with the atmosphere in this elegant room.
The girl's dress is also very unique, with a red tie on her head, a purple cloak on her body, a pair of red gold boots on her feet, and a pair of eyes as clear as water. He looked at the young man in front of him quietly.
Gives people an elf-like temperament.
If it weren't for the pouty pink cherry mouth and the two slender legs dangling on the tea table, perhaps this temperament would be stronger.
The young man sitting opposite the girl is definitely much more elegant than the girl. He is dressed in white and fine clothes with an ink lotus flower splashed with wine on it. He exudes an elegant temperament and has a fair face. However, this elegance is a bit too much, which makes him The young man looked a bit cowardly.
Looking at the coquettish look of the girl in front of him, the young man sighed slightly.
"Where does it hurt?"
"Heart!"
"If it's because you feel uncomfortable, then I may not be able to do anything about it. After all, a heart ailment needs heart medicine!" The young man's face was as usual, as if he had seen too many girls' methods.
"But the medicine is on Jiu Gesheng?" The girl was a little reluctant.
"Sigh... I can give you whatever you want, but not the purple lightning black dragon colt!" The young man quickly exposed the girl's inner thoughts and said frankly.
"That's it... How about we make a bet, Ninth Brother?" The girl lowered her legs from the tea table, with an expectant expression in her clear eyes.
"No one in Yanjing City is willing to bet with you." The young man shook his head gently.
"But Ninth Brother is different from them. Ninth Brother is the one who loves me the most in Yanjing City. He has always been kind to my sister, just like a real brother. My sister is from the bottom of his heart..."
"Okay, you can bet however you want." The young man interrupted the girl, showing a helpless expression.
"Brother Ninth knows Fang Zhengzheng, right?" The girl responded as soon as she heard this, her eyes lit up and she quickly moved her body in front of the young man, her two big eyes blinking.
"Well, now the whole Great Xia Dynasty is spreading rumors about Amaterasu, how can I not know about it?" The young man leaned back subconsciously, then picked up the tea cup in front of him and gently put it to his nose to smell it, and then He moisturized his lips gently.
"Brother Ninth, let me first tell you what you think about this person."
"I can't tell you my opinion, but if Chi Guyan can take the initiative to announce the engagement in front of the five northern governors, at least his intelligence will not be too weak. In terms of strength, he topped both the county and government examinations, and ranked first in the ten He reached Amaterasu at the age of five, and just these few years are beyond the reach of ordinary people." After the young man finished, he also drank the tea in his hand.
"Brother Ninth, can you not mention that guy's engagement with Sister Yan?" Upon hearing this, the girl pursed her lips again.
"Okay, I won't mention it if you don't want to." The young man was a little helpless.
"Well, Ninth Brother is really the best to me! Since Ninth Brother feels that Fang Zhengzheng is not comparable to ordinary people, how about I use this Fang Zhengzheng to make a bet with Ninth Brother?" When the girl came here, a glimmer of light appeared in her clear eyes. .
"Betting with Fang Zhengzheng? How?" The young man was a little curious.
"I bet that after he sees me, he will immediately lead my horse and feed me willingly, and become a servant at my command!" The girl blinked at the young man, with a confident expression on her face.
"Servant? Isn't this impossible? I heard that he once argued with Chihou in the Shenhou Mansion about whether to become a son-in-law in the future. He said that this is a humble house, but I encourage myself because of my virtue. He should not be someone who clings to wealth. That person!" The young man's expression looked a little unbelievable.
"Since Ninth Brother doesn't believe it, are you willing to bet with me?"
"Okay, if you lose this time, I don't ask you to accept any bet. I just hope that you will not try to take advantage of my purple lightning black dragon colt in the future. What do you think?" After a moment of silence, the young man said Finally the end.
"Okay!" When the girl heard this, she immediately cheered: "Brother Ninth can't go back on his word. The city has received news that Fang Zhengzheng and Yan Xiu had entered Yanjing City half an hour ago. I'm going to find them now. He went, hahaha..."
On the other hand, the girl also walked quickly towards the outside of the private room. When she reached the door, she turned back and looked at the young man.
"Brother Ninth, actually I am killing two birds with one stone. Am I very smart?" After that, the girl went directly out of the private room without waiting for the young man to answer.
The young man looked at the girl's disappearing back, with a look of fondness on his face. However, he quickly shook his head and turned to look at the increasingly dim sky outside the window, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"There are many storms in the capital, so fear is a source of worry when traveling around!"
