Chapter 1: Roll and fish

Views:

A round of morning sun rises in the east, the new snow in the capital is beginning to melt, and a thin layer of frost is formed on the tile edge, reflecting the golden morning light. People come and go in the market, carriages come and go, and the morning bell rings seven to seven forty-nine, awakening the whole city.

You Miao finally woke up early in the past three months. She was ready to make a change today and went to the last school in earnest. After breakfast, she looked impatient. At that time, he suddenly lost interest again, so he told the driver to stop and stop.

The car arrived at Changlong West Alley, You Miao crossed Erlang's legs, and saw that the prime minister's mansion was not open and no one was there, so he hurriedly knocked on it. Go, look for Li Yan.

Only very close friends can go through the back door of Li Yan's house. Everyone in the prime minister's mansion recognized You Miao, nodded and bowed to invite him in. There were not many people in the backyard. When passing through the stables, there was a sudden loud roar, and a tattered monster jumped out of the wood hut and fell in front of him.

Youmiao was walking, and was so frightened that he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"What are you doing!"

"Be careful with our young master! I'm frightened and teach you to peel off your skin!"

"It's the other way around! It's impossible to kill someone!"

The servants in the prime minister's mansion were also frightened, and they all came with whips.

You Miao calmed down and seemed to see a mass of tattered clothes.

At first I thought it was something from a friend's house, but when I saw a group of householders surrounding the dirty guy with whips and sticks, I realized that it was a man, or a man, and the whip slapped down, The man immediately burst into flesh, and blood spurted out on the ground.

The man was disheveled, like a madman, his whole body was dirty, his hands were tied, and he was beaten and screamed in the corner. He inadvertently glanced at You Miao, and the eyes of the two met. The man's eyes were very clear, but with Beast-like bloodthirsty color.

This was the first time You Miao saw this scene. A dozen or so servants beat a half-dead man, and the sticks were broken. You Miao hurriedly said, "Don't fight, stop fighting, what's going on?"

The servant followed and shouted, "Young master told you to stop fighting!"

The housekeepers stopped, and the man was beaten to death. He was held by ten wooden sticks and threw it into the firewood room again. There was a muffled sound of his body falling to the ground.

The second housekeeper of the east courtyard of the mansion hurried over, put a new lock on the firewood house, and scolded: "Forget the bastard! Fortunately, I didn't touch Young Master You!"

You Miao didn't know what this person had done, so it was inconvenient to ask more questions, and went to the east wing again. At that time, Li Yan also just woke up and was eating breakfast at the mansion with a bored face. There was a row of maids standing beside him. , let the chopsticks let him signal him to eat, You Miao sat down and drank a sip of tea. The two of them ate and talked about where to play today and who to play with.

Who is this Li Yan? It turned out to be a friend You Miao met at the Imperial Academy, the young master of the Prime Minister's residence.

When the emperor was lazy, he was obsessed with poetry and poetry, flowers, birds, insects and fish, so he went up and down, and the officials in the court were also lazy than each other. Eagles fight dogs, invite friends and friends. You Miao entered Taixue two years ago. Both of them are teenagers. After getting to know each other, they eat and drink all the way. Li Yan spends You Miao's money, and You Miao met a group of people through Li Yan's relationship. The scoundrels in the capital would bully the market, bully men and women, and hang out everywhere.

Speaking of You Miao, You Miao is not simple. His family is a big salt merchant in Cangzhou. His ancestors made their fortune selling private salt. They have accumulated many generations to become the richest man. Tea, planting a monk with a lot of money, and a thousand tea fields, is really not easy.

However, scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, and merchants were inferior, and You Dechuan had the idea of donating an official to his only son. If you have money these days, it is easy to buy an official, but the one you buy can't stop the good ones, so You Miao's father thought about letting his son take some money to study in Beijing to prepare for the imperial examination. Donate a top three, in this way, it is an upright scholar family.

Youmiao was only thirteen years old when he went to the capital. He was pampered at home. He brought ten cars with him for food when he went out. There were groups of maids and servants, who came to the emperor's feet to study.

His father, You Dechuan, arranged everything for You Miao. After entering Beijing, You Miao lived in his uncle's house. With the three thousand taels of silver money given by his father, he met a group of dudes in the school. Gotta be clean. After spending the money, I reached out to my family to ask for it, but my father wrote a letter and scolded him with blood and blood, and then sent him five hundred taels of silver. After the end of the year, I would drink the northwest wind and go.

"You boy." Li Yan, the son of the prime minister's residence, glanced up and down at him.

You Miao: "What?"

You Miao moved her chopsticks and stopped eating. Li Yan ate the porridge and said slowly, "I heard that the Third Highness wants to call you into the palace to be his companion?"

You Miao didn't know about this at all, but after hearing it, he understood - "Three Highness" refers to the youngest son of Zhao Jiong, the emperor of the dynasty, Li Yan's father, Prime Minister Li, and four of the six Shangshu all belong to the prince's faction. The Third Highness was favored when he was young, but he was neither a direct descendant nor the eldest son, and he had no power or power in the palace.

But You Miao was not in a hurry to answer, she just smiled: "Is there really such a thing? I'm afraid it's just a joke."

Li Yandao: "Maybe in a few days, someone will come to order from the DPRK. I heard that the third highness is born to play and love to move. Do you remember when a few brothers went to the lamp market during the Lantern Festival this year?"

You Miao nodded hesitantly, and roughly remembered that during the Lantern Festival, the street was full of lights, and the crowds were crowded one after another. Who knew who was who

Li Yan added: "It is said that he fell in love with you from a distance in the lamp market, and asked Tai Fu to declare you into the palace."

You Miao has beautiful eyebrows, splendid clothes and embroidered robes, star-shaped eyebrows, good temperament, and rich family. The dudes like to hang out with him. Every now and then, they press and kiss him, and the third prince takes a fancy to him. It's not unusual.

"Oh." You Miao said, "How did the third prince give birth to a character?"

Li Yan was not happy anymore, and said coldly, "You don't care how he gave birth to a character? I'm asking you, are you going or not?"

You Miao crossed Erlang's legs and smiled. He was spotted by the third prince for no reason. He wanted to enter the palace as a companion and read servant. Naturally, he was happy to change to an ordinary person, but You Miao still knew how to behave. On weekdays, I often heard Li Yan's group of playful children say that the third prince will at most be a king in the future, and the prince who really wants to ascend the throne is the prince.

After standing on the team of the third prince, he can no longer be a prince. His father sent him to the capital to study, so that he could donate an official or a half-job in the imperial court in the future. Of course, this self-destructing future cannot be done. Had to live up to the favor of the third prince.

You Miao said with a smile: "You have the final say, isn't it all up to you?"

Li Yan's face became better now, and he said, "If you want to go with him, our friendship will blow, you have to think clearly, whether I treat you well, or the third prince who has never met you. ?"

You Miao laughed and continued: "Of course it's you, what kind of friendship do you have to talk about?"

It was too early to eat, and two or three of my buddies came. They all looked like they didn't wake up. Li Yan bought a landscape painting for 40 taels of silver and unfolded it for You Miao to see. You Miao saw that the seal was fake. Mouth said: "Cut, fake."

Li Yan: "You know what is real and what is fake."

You Miao: "My father's room hangs such an authentic work, take a look at it, it's printed here..."

The sons and buddies snickered, and the son of the household minister made a statement to smooth things out, saying, "I like it." Then Li Yan and You Miao quarreled again, Li Yan threw the painting, looked at him angrily, You Miao But it doesn't matter if he is smiling and drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed.

"What are you going to play today?" After a long time, Pinger, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, asked. This person is the second eldest in the family, and all the dudes shouted "Ping 2" and "Ping 2". The dudes also knew how to hold high and step down, tending to become flamboyant. On the one hand, although he has little status in the capital, he is better than rich.

Everyone just regarded You Miao as a scapegoat, but You Miao was also transparent in his heart, and often told himself that his father sent him to Beijing to study, nothing more than to get a name test, to know a few playboys, there are people in the court who are easy to do things, and they will come in the future. So that the silver bullet can also be stuffed into the money.

You Miao looked at the crowd with a smile and said, "How about listening to the music in Yangfenglou?"

Everyone applauded, Li Yan was going to fight You Miao first with a stinky face, but after a while, he was jokingly jokingly passed by. The young man did not hold grudges, and just after noon, they hung out again.

When the sun went down, You Miao went home and remembered what he saw in the morning, so he asked Li Yan curiously, Li Yan said, "Oh, that's a dog soldier, I saw it in the clergyman of the Huijiaofang last time. It's fun, I bought it back."

Department of Jiaofang? Dog Rong slave

You Miao was about to ask what it was, but Li Yan swaggered home.
