Pingshan, Jingcheng, near Qinghe County.

Near Pingshan, a carriage was walking rapidly on the official road, and more than a dozen horse thieves rode their horses to chase after them.

A leader on the horse thief laughed loudly and said, "Miss Cui, you are a famous family, and my ancestors, eight generations, are all bandits. Today you fell into my hands. It's really a fate between you and me!"

"Ph! Shameless!"

As soon as the curtains were lifted, a woman opened her bow and shot an arrow at the back of the carriage, but saw this arrow being shot down in the air by a horse thief.

After Zhang Mazhei shot down the arrow, he raised his head and laughed: "Miss Cui, your bow is too soft. I will let you taste my old Zhang's big hard bow later!"

The horse thieves all laughed wildly.

"What should I do if my lady?" In addition to the lady, there was also a coachman and a maid in the carriage.

The coachman whispered: "These thieves seem to be well-versed in martial arts. If there are five or six, I don't take them seriously, but if more than a dozen people start to fight, they are afraid of shocking the lady."

The lady said, "What are you afraid of? This is the official road. There must be someone on the road. We just need someone to help us. You see, isn't there a boy?"

Sure enough, when I arrived at a poplar tree next to the official road, a young man in white stood up. He held the sword in his back, looking at the way he came, obviously on guard.

"Stop!" Ms. Cui immediately ordered.

The coachman tied the reins and the carriage stopped under the poplar trees. Miss Cui and the coachman jumped out and got out.

Miss Cui said, "This hero has a horse thief who comes to chase me and begs to help me. My Cui family will be rewarded!"

Miss Cui looked at it but saw that the boy was about 20 years old, with sword eyebrows on his temples, his eyes were bright and vivid, and his appearance was not only very handsome, but also heroic. Miss Cui couldn't help but like it. When he saw it, a hero saved the beauty, no girl in the boudoir never thought about it.

The young man did not agree after hearing this, but said lightly: "Look, let's talk about it!"

Miss Cui couldn't help but feel angry when she heard this, thinking that this young man was so ungrateful and beautiful. She also put on the name of the Cui family and asked softly, but he refused to help.

"Then don't want your help! Agu, let's fight these horse thieves away by ourselves." After saying that, the lady and the coachman pulled out their weapons. The lady used a sword and the coachman used a sword.

At this time, more than a dozen horse thieves had arrived. The leader Zhang Ma thief stopped and saw that the beauty was about to get it. Suddenly, there seemed to be hundreds of insects in his heart.

However, before Zhang Mazhe was about to make the thief faint, he glanced at the young man in white and said, "Get out of the way, or kill you."

The young man looked at Zhang Mazhei and said to himself: "Chengjiu, look, I've met you again."

Thinking of this, the boy suddenly drew his sword and unsheathed it.

A moment later, more than a dozen horse thieves fled and rode their horses away in a panic. Miss Cui and the coachman named Agu saw that the other party had killed more than a dozen bandits like chopping melons and vegetables, and they were stunned.

The young man took out a white handkerchief to wipe his sword and said as if nothing had happened: "You must be careful on the road in the future. Will the Cui family, Qinghe Cui family?"

"Miss, I'll give it some money. If such a person has something to do, he will come to cling to my Cui family." The maid whispered beside Miss Cui.

"How can this be done," Miss Cui shook her head and said to the other party: "Yes, I don't know where this brother Taigao's surname is from?"

"Longxi Li family!"

Miss Cui couldn't help but be surprised. The coachman and maid on the side were also surprised.

When Ms. Cui saw that the other party was young and gentle, had outstanding martial arts skills, and was handsome, and had a life-saving grace to save herself, she couldn't help but feel moved by her heart. She thought to herself that the Li family in Longxi was worthy of my Cui family. But I don't know if he was born in a illegitimate family or a legitimate family, and if he had a marriage?

"Please stay," said the maid next to him immediately with great sincerity, "Our lady happened to accompany her wife to the Puji Temple to get incense. The road was delayed due to the matter. The young master saved Mrs. Daren and would like to thank him in person."

"No, I'm still rushing to the road."

Seeing that the other party turned a blind eye to her, Miss Cui was about to leave, and now she forgot to take a step forward with her modesty: "Young Master..."

The boy turned his head and saw that Miss Cui’s face was flushed and lowered his eyes. He immediately understood. The boy laughed and said, “Miss Cui, I’m here, no, I’m also a daughter!”

Miss Cui was stunned but after looking carefully, she saw that the other party had no Adam's apple, and then she suddenly realized that she was embarrassed and felt disappointed in her heart, but she felt relieved again. The maid and coachman couldn't help laughing, and her vigilance at the boy was greatly reduced.

This young man in white is actually Li Zhiwan. He passed by Jingcheng from Qinghe to Shangdang and rescued Miss Cui along the way.

At this moment, Li Zhiwan was kept by Miss Cui. The name of Miss Cui Chufei, who was the youngest daughter of the Su brother of the county governor of Qinghe County. Concubine Cui Chufei's father said that he could not make progress in troubled times and lived in seclusion at home. He played the piano and worshiped Buddha all day long without taking office. However, his branch was the legitimate descendant of the Qinghe Dafang, the Northern Wei branch, the seven soldiers, and the third minister of Cui Xiu in the palace, and was very prominent.

Today, Cui Chufei happened to go with her mother to Pu Shu Temple to get incense. She missed her journey for some reason and was attacked by horse thieves. Fortunately, she was rescued by Li Zhiwan.

Although Cui Chufei's heart was not settled, she met Li Zhiwan and immediately invited her to Puji Temple to pay homage to her mother. Mrs. Cui came from Zheng, Xingyang, and was a lady from the family. When she met Li Zhiwan, she immediately held a banquet at Puji Temple to thank her.

After the banquet, Concubine Cui refused to leave Li Zhiwan and asked her to stay in Puji Temple for one night. Concubine Cui did not know this decision, but changed the fate of the two of them and the other.

Puji Temple is full of willows, and its famous scenery is outstanding in Qinghe County.

Concubine Cui Chu and Li Zhiwan admired willows in the deep courtyard. There was also a place for women to live in this temple. However, the access control was tight and monks and pilgrims were not allowed to enter.

Therefore, outside a wall, it is equivalent to the division between the deep boudoir and the outside.

At this moment, outside the wall, three scholars under the willow tree were sitting in the Puji Temple and discussing the story. The three of them were famous scholars in Qinghe County, and they were also scholars who were preparing to go to Qinghe County to take the trial this time.

The county trial was scheduled for August, so the scholars of Qinghe County also called it the Qiuwei.

All three of them are outstanding figures in Qinghe County. This time, in order to prepare for the autumn examination, many families in Qinghe County specially sent their children who were not officials to Puji Temple, hoping to study in peace in this quiet place.

The three of them happened to come together. They were all talented and the best among scholars, and they didn't bother with others. Therefore, the three of them gathered together to discuss knowledge. In addition to studying, they also expressed their daily aspirations and were very close to each other.

The man in the top was named Zhang Wenguan and his courtesy name was Zhigui. However, he saw that his hairbands were all different from jade on his waist, and he looked like a prince from a noble family.

Zhang Wenguan turned around and said to his two companions: "It's only five months since the Qiu Examination. How have both brothers read Taiwanese books?"

Zhang Wenguan's first man named Lai Ji, with a burly figure and a lightning look. He clasped his hands and smiled softly: "The incident of Qiuwei has already been in my palm, and I believe the same is true for both of you."

The man next to Laiji, named Sun, and named Daomao, was wearing a gray cloth robe, and said with a humble expression: "The talent in the world is like a crucian carp crossing the river. Even if it is a place in Qinghe County, it is still a talented person. My talent is not as good as my two brothers. This time, the county trial is related to my life destiny, and I feel very nervous."

Zhang Wenguan heard Sun Chuyou say this and sighed: "Brother Daomao, you have always been so cautious, but that's what you said, as the saying goes, you will be 90,000 miles away from the cloud road, and you will be frightened by the snow window for twenty years."

Listening to Zhang Wenguan's poem, Lai Ji couldn't help but slammed his high fives and said, "I'm a great man who has been traveling 90,000 miles to the clouds and has been exposed to the fireflies in the snow window for twenty years. We are here to temper our tempers, not for the day of soaring into the sky. I hope to hear the ambitions in my brothers."

Zhang Wenguan was energetic and looked like a long sword unsheathed, and immediately said: "If a real man doesn't become an official, he will be an official, and he will be a prime minister before he can stop."

"Okay!" Lai Ji said, "I have the same ambition as Brother Zhigui. Where are you, Brother Dao Mao?"

Sun Chuyou said, "I don't have two brothers with such ambitions. I just hope to be a clerk, participate in the secrets around the emperor, and let go of the hall, and have no regrets in this life."

As soon as Sun Chuyou finished speaking, he heard a woman smirking from the other side of the wall.

The three of them stood up together, Zhang Wenguan looked slightly angry, and Sun Chuyou whispered: "Brother Zhigui, don't be impulsive. I heard that today Cui Junyan's wife and daughter came to Pu Shu Temple to enjoy the incense. This courtyard must be Miss Cui's family."

After hearing this, Zhang Wenguan's face slowly turned to the other side of the wall and said, "Do you dare to ask if it's Miss Cui's outside the wall?"

In the wall, Concubine Cui and Concubine Cui were standing side by side. Concubine Cui smiled and said to Li Zhiwan: "These three frogs in the well also want to be prime ministers, watch me tease them."

Li Zhiwan smiled slightly and let Concubine Cui make a fuss.

Cui Chufei said to the outside wall: "Yes, I was admiring willows in the courtyard, but I was sorry to hear the three of you tell me about your ambitions."

Zhang Wenguan and the other two heard the voice of Concubine Cui Chu like a crisp oriole, looking at each other. Zhang Wenguan and Lai Ji both showed excitement. The daughter of the Cui family is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Zhang Wenguan cleared his throat and said, "I dare not ask Miss Cui to say this. Xiaoke just took the liberty. Zhang Wenguan in Qinghe was in the hometown of Miss Cui. I have heard that Miss Cui has a look of falling fish and falling geese. I didn't expect that it would be a blessing to have this time today."

Concubine Cui made a face to Li Zhiwan, indicating that the words of calling him like this were too boring.

Concubine Cui said, "You haven't seen me yet? How do you know that my appearance is like a sank fish and falling geese? Is this untrue?"

Zhang Wenguan said: "Miss Cui, why dare we deceive each other? I don't say that the words of the countryside are passed down, but I only hear the sounds and know the appearance."

Concubine Cui immediately gave Li Zhiwan a vomiting expression. Li Zhiwan couldn't help laughing softly. It's been a long time since she encountered such an interesting thing.

At this time, the spring breeze blows, and the branches of willow trees sway with the wind, and countless catkins come across the wall.

Concubine Cui said softly: "You are coaxing me by saying this? You are like a young man, and the words of young people are the most unheard of."
