Although the cold wind in Wuyuan County was already raging in October, Jiuyuan County was extremely lively. The autumn test of Yuan County will be held in three days. Thousands of soldiers from all counties in Wuyuan County and the counties in Longyou, Guanwei.

The son gathers in a city.

Although the Guanlong gentry and noble children disdained the autumn test of Wuyuan County, for poor families, this opportunity to enter the officialdom with fair examinations is extremely precious. Although the governments of various counties strictly prohibited scholars from going north, there are still thousands of them.

The poor scholars from Guanlong flocked to Jiuyuan County to find their life. Jiuyuan County has prepared enough to provide free food and accommodation for all the scholars who came to participate in the autumn examination. However, many scholars are still willing to raise money.

Drink and gather in various restaurants and discuss major events in the world.

Outside the south gate of Jiuyuan County, there is a wine shop called Bashanshui, which is filled with scholars who come to eat. It is closer to the county school where the scholars live, and a large number of scholars come to visit each other every day.

The business is particularly booming.

In the afternoon, dozens of entourages came from the south with two carriages. The leader of the entourage rushed to a carriage in front and bowed and said, "Do you call me?"

An old voice came from the carriage. Although the voice was old, the jing spirit was very good. "Person Min, there is a wine shop here, let's take a break first!"

"Okay! I'll make arrangements now."

The old man called him again and said with a smile: "Go and ask Miss Jiang, if she doesn't want to, continue to leave."

The captain urged the horse to the second two carriages and bowed and said, "Miss Jiang, the old man said he wanted to take a break in the restaurant and ask for your opinion."

The voice in the carriage was very soft, "Mr. Ge wants to rest, but I have no objection."

Dozens of people came to the restaurant surrounded by two carriages. A friend came up with him and smiled and said, "You are a coincidence! A group of scholars have just left, and many seats are vacant. Please come in.

The shop is resting.”

The car door opened, and the first carriage came down. An old man with a spirit of spirit seemed to be over 70 years old. It was Gao. After Gao followed Yang Yuanqing to Beijing, he immediately went to Shu County to join his son Gao Biaoren and was in Shu County.

After living there for more than half a year, he heard about Yang Xuangan's rebellion and Yang Yuanqing was forced to flee to Fengzhou. He felt deeply uneasy.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing wrote a letter to invite him to visit Fengzhou, so Gao resolutely decided to go to Fengzhou. Unexpectedly, he met Princess Yicheng who was also preparing to go to Fengzhou in Chang'an, and then he learned that Princess Yicheng had changed her mother's surname.

Called Jiang Peihua and others came to Fengzhou together.

At this time, Princess Yicheng on the second carriage also came down, but she had changed her name to Jiang Peihua, and it had nothing to do with the princess of the Sui Dynasty. She wore a white long skirt, a hat, a slender figure and a graceful figure.

Like a fairy who is untainted by the fireworks of the world, she attracted special attention in this bleak winter ri, and even the knowledgeable shop assistants were straightened.

Yuchi Wan glared at the shop clerk Ru Meng, and hurriedly said, "Please invite a few customers upstairs!"

Although it was already afternoon, the restaurant was still full of drinkers, basically all scholars. The first floor was full, half of the seats on the second floor were empty, several friends were cleaning up, while the other half was sitting dozens of seats

The famous scholars talked loudly, making the wine shop particularly lively.

Jiang Peihua's coming in immediately calmed the restaurant down. Almost all the scholars looked at her. Although she could not see her face, her peerless and gorgeous temperament still made the scholars stunned. Some people were amazed, "

How beautiful! It is so beautiful that Luo Fu can marry?"

Many people's eyes even turned to Yuchi Wan. She did not wear a veil, but she also had a handsome appearance, but she had a heroic and cool look. She only held a horizontal knife in her hand and looked cold, which made the scholars dare not look at it too much.

Turning to Jiang Peihua again, her every move was elegant and gentle, which was fascinating.

Jiang Peihua and Yuchi Wan sat down at a table beside the window, Gao was sitting opposite them, and dozens of guards were sitting around them. They were used to this situation, and it didn't matter if they didn't come up to cause trouble.

The guards will not ask.

A guy came up to serve him, Gao Jie pointed at the guards, "Supply their food and drinks, we can have three cups of tea here. If possible, two more plates of melons and fruits."

The guy looked embarrassed: "There are fresh fruits and fruits, but there is no tea, only butter paste. The tea was banned by the court and it is no longer visible on the market."

"Then let's have a few plates of fruits and fruits, and three more cups of clear water."

"Okay!"

The guy was about to leave, Gao called him again and asked curiously: "Why are there so many scholars? Are there any official schools nearby?"

The guy smiled and explained: "The old man just came to Wuyuan County! The official school is a hundred steps away, but the day after tomorrow will be the autumn examination of Wuyuan County. Now there are four or five thousand scholars gathered in the county town, and they are all thinking about taking the exam to seek fame and fortune.

!”

Gao nodded, "So that's it, go! Serve the dishes as soon as possible.

The guy ran away, Jiang Peihua smiled and whispered: "If these scholars knew that the Master was here, I wonder what would happen?"

Gao He smiled and stroked his beard and said, "I have faded out of the court for many years. I guess these young scholars no longer know me. Now they are the world of young people. You can't know Gao, but you can't ignore Yang Yuanqing."

Jiang Peihua nodded silently. She hadn't seen Yang Yuanqing for more than a year and didn't know how he was.

The guy brought melons and fruits and water in a moment, and then served barbecue and puerry wine to the guards. The table became lively and gradually, and the scholars no longer paid attention to Jiang Peihua. They began to talk about the world again.

A scholar shouted: "You guys, can you hear that Yang Yichen killed Zhang Jincheng and Gao Shida in Gaojipo, defeated more than 200,000 bandits, and the rebellion in Hebei was quelled!"

One person in the corner sneered, "That's a big deal! Yang Yichen is just a blind man. He thinks he has made contributions. He is just making wedding dresses for Dou Jiande, killing Zhang Jincheng and Gao Shida for Dou Jiande, and the Hebei bandits are even stronger."

Gao was a little surprised. He looked at this person and saw a young black-faced scholar sitting in the corner on the other side, dressed poorly and at the same table with several others. Gao Ying thought to himself: "This person knows Hebei."

The chaos.”

Several scholars' faces were flushed and stood up and scolded, "What do you know? Are you talking nonsense here."

The black-faced scholar said calmly: "I know that Dou Jiande is a virtuous man and treats people with lenient attitudes. He is definitely not a rude man. He will become a hero in Hebei in the future. He wanted to get rid of Zhang Jincheng and Gao Shida because he was afraid of losing his life.

I lost the military spirit, and now Yang Yichen has removed him for him. Wouldn't he be happy? I also know that Li Mi, Duke of Pushan County, surrendered to Wagang, but the court ignored him. Wagang will become a major concern for the court afterwards."

Li Mi went to Wagang, and the restaurant was silent, and more people were suspicious. At this time, Li Mi had no reputation. Everyone only knew that he was a nobleman in Guanlong, but few people knew what he had. Gao, but he knew Li Mi.

A great talent, Yang Su valued Li Mi the most back then, and his special son Xuangan and Li Mi dating, but Li Mi unexpectedly surrendered to Wagang, which surprised Gao.

He picked up the teacup and walked slowly to the black-faced scholar, and asked solemnly: "Li Mi defected to Wagang, is this news serious?"

The black-faced scholar nodded, "It's true!"

He couldn't help but sigh again: "I know Li Mi and I advised him to come to Fengzhou to join General Manager Yang, but he flatly refused."

Gao Ruo had some insight and asked him again, "Why do you think Li Mi refused to come to Fengzhou?"

"I thought it was a mountain that could not accommodate two tigers!"

Gao Anxiong secretly exclaimed, "This young man has a bit of vision."

"Where is my friend from? His accent doesn't look like the Guanlong area."

Seeing that the black-faced scholar was elegant and elegant, his eyes were clear, which was different from ordinary people, he couldn't help but feel respect and stood up to salute, "Zhang Liang, a scholar from Xingyang, is poor, and has no way to seek official positions. I heard that Fengzhou is talented.

I'm here to apply for the exam."

Gao Shunhou nodded, "I hope you can go to Jinbang High School."

He also said to everyone: "It is the general trend to win talents by talent. As long as everyone has real talents and knowledge, they will definitely have the opportunity to show their talents. Even if they fail this exam, don't be discouraged. As long as they study hard, there will be a chance next year.

The sharpness and youthful chun of young people are your greatest wealth, and you are also the hope of the Great Sui Dynasty."

The high words won the applause of the restaurant scholars. No one of them could have imagined that this kind and extraordinary old man was the most respected prime minister of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Suddenly, a loud sound of horse hooves came from outside the restaurant, as if more than a thousand cavalry arrived. There was a silence inside and outside the restaurant, and all the scholars looked at each other, wondering what had happened?

Jiang Peihua stood up and looked out the window. For a moment, a gentle smile appeared on her face, but the veil of the hat covered her face. No one could see her smile. At this time, there was a rapid running sound at the entrance of the stairs, and the wine shop

The shopkeeper ran up and apologized to Gao Lianlian, "Old sir, I'm negligent. Manager Yang came to greet the old sir in person."

There was an uproar in the tavern. The scholars were very surprised to hear Yang Yuanqing come to greet the old man in person. Who would this old man be? Is he a high-ranking official in the court? Some people wonder if it could be Pei Ju. Isn’t Yang Yuanqing’s grandfather Pei Ju?

Many people looked at Jiang Peihua, perhaps Yang Yuanqing was here to welcome this fairy-like woman.

At this time, the black-faced scholar Zhang Liang couldn't help but ask, "May I ask the old man's surname?"

Gao Ruoying smiled slightly, "My husband's surname is Gao."

After saying that, he nodded to Jiang Peihua, and the two of them slowly went downstairs.

The scholars in the restaurant were talking about who would the official surname Gao be? Is it Gao Xiaoji? The black-faced scholar Zhang Liang suddenly moved and shouted loudly: "I know who he is, he is Gao."

!”

The scholars exclaimed and rushed towards the windows. They saw thousands of cavalry guarding outside the winery. The woman in white dress had already got on the carriage. Yang Yuanqing, the general manager of Fengzhou, personally opened the door and asked him to get on the carriage. When he got on the carriage,

Suddenly, he thought of something, turned around and looked at the scholars on the second floor, waved to them with a smile, and got on the carriage. The two carriages entered the city under the escort of the cavalry and soon disappeared from their sight.

The scholars sighed, and it turned out that the old man who had dinner with them was a famous person in the world. They didn't know that the black-faced scholar Zhang Liang stood blankly by the window, and he said to himself, "If a real man can't."
