Chapter 30
The sun is just right, and there are many pedestrians on the road connecting Phoenix Mountain to Lin'an City. Red men and green women are in groups of three or five, and they are furious in their clothes and horses, but they are all boring people who go out for spring.
The hawkers of all kinds on the roadside lined up along the avenue, and there was no end at all.
Jia Sidao was walking leisurely along the crowd, but Jia Quan'er followed Jia Sidao with a dull look on her face.
The many new Jinshi who went to Seyuan to attend the poetry meeting will each follow one, two servants or book boys, which is a symbol of identity.
Of course, these numerous servants or book children naturally cannot have seats like their masters. The servants of the Zheng Mansion specially arranged mats for these servants and book children on the side of the Peach Blossom Land, and all kinds of snacks and teas are also sufficient. Although it is also very good to treat the wine and food enjoyed by the scholars.
Jia Quaner witnessed the stunning Peach Blossom Spring throughout the journey, and then bet with others to kill all the people, making all the stories of the scholars.
If anyone in the Song Dynasty knew Jia Sidao best, I am afraid that there would be no one else in Jia Quan'er. Needless to say, his nominal wife Xu Ruoxi, who had never even entered the bridal chamber, might have said more than anything in the past two days.
As for Concubine Jia, who was a little too doting for Jia Sidao, she can only be called the first in doting, but her understanding of Jia Sidao is far less than that of Jia Quaner, who grew up with Jia Sidao.
It is precisely because Jia Quaner knows Jia Sidao more than anyone else that Jia Quaner is much more surprised than those who can't figure out the situation, so that he still feels like his son's performance in the Peach Blossom Land.
If Jia Sidao, who had forgotten all the changes in temperament after waking up, just made Jia Quaner feel a little strange and awkward, then the Jia Sidao he saw today was already making him dare not recognize him at all.
A question kept circling in Jia Quaner's mind. Is the person in front of him still his son? Jia Quaner didn't know.
"Brother Shi Xian...Brother Shi Xian..."
Amid the noisy voices, a few shouts came from afar.
At this stall, Jia Sidao, who was touching the vendor, stopped when he heard the sound and looked back.
In the dense crowd, Yu Ci, who was waving his arms under the opening of the two servants, appeared faintly.
Oh, it seems that Yu Ci is really not up to you? Jia Sidao pondered for a moment, and found a place with less pedestrians on the side of the road to stand, waiting for Yu Ci to catch up.
"Haha, Jia Quan'er, don't you believe that I wrote those poems?"
Jia Sidao naturally knew the strangeness along the way, but he didn't know how to explain it to make sense. After all, he also knew that as Jia Quaner who had been following his previous life, he obviously had to know the master of this body better than anyone else.
Although he didn't know what to say, he had to face the problem. He also wanted to use this skill to completely solve Jia Quan'er.
"Ah?" The dazed Jia Quan'er was stunned when she heard Jia Sidao's words, then she waved her head like a rattle, and kept understanding: "Young master, I'm not young!"
"Really not?" Jia Sidao looked at Jia Quan'er with a smile.
"No... there is... there is a little..." Under Jia Sidao's gaze, Jia Quaner had been living under Jia Sidao's tyranny for a long time, and Jia Quaner finally told the truth timidly.
“I didn’t do these poems.”
"ah!"
"It was someone told me in a dream when I was still lying on the bed and I was still awake." Looking at Jia Quan'er who was nervous and looked around for fear of being heard by others, Jia Sidao's heart was slightly warm and he continued with a smile.
Jia Quaner, who was very worried, looked at Jia Sidao and really wanted to roll his eyes or give him a middle finger. Of course, if Jia Quan dared or said that he knew the meaning of the middle finger.
"You boy! I am still me, and I am the one who can visit prostitutes and play with crickets. But I died once and understood something."
Jia Sidao patted Jia Quan'er on the shoulder, looked at the white clouds rolling in the sky, and let out a long breath.
Jia Quan'er was still very confused. He did not understand Jia Sidao's explanation or not, but he knew that the one standing in front of him was still his young master, but the young master had changed.
Thinking of this, Jia Quaner suddenly became happy again.
For him, as long as Jia Sidao is still the same Jia Sidao, the young master is still his own young master, that's all.
What's more, although the young masters now forget a lot of things, they are not as lustful, gambling, and playing with crickets as before, but they suddenly know how to write poems and write lyrics.
Thinking about the people who were servants and scholars in the Peach Blossom Land before, when they saw the young master as a poem, Jia Quaner suddenly felt that such a change seemed to be very good.
After looking at Jia Quan'er who started to smile foolishly after looking at the brief melancholy beside her, Jia Sidao curled his lips helplessly, and his worries seemed completely unnecessary.
...
"Brother Shi Xian, let me find you a child." Yu Ci looked at Jia Sidao who was so leisurely, wiped the sweat from his head, and panted.
"Just just call me Shi Xian. Brother is too bad, right?" Jia Sidao said with a smile without accepting Yu Ci's words.
"Brother Shi Xian... Shi Xian is indeed heroic. If you are respectful, you should obey your orders." Yu Ci was very happy when he heard Jia Sidao's words. Since Jia Sidao asked him to call him directly and also used words to call him, he said that he no longer regarded him as a stranger, and could at least be considered half a friend.
This made Yu Ci, who had originally deliberately made friends with Jia Sidao, naturally wanted it.
"Haha, why did Zisheng slip out like me if he didn't attend the poetry meeting in Seyuan?"
"Slide out?" Yu Ci was stunned when he heard Jia Sidao's words, and then laughed: "If Mr. Zheng heard this, he would probably go to the palace to find the emperor to sue. Without Brother Shi Xian, is this poetry meeting still called a poetry meeting? So Zisheng sneaked out to find Brother Shi Xian. Could Shi Xian have a drink with Zi Sheng?"
"Drink a drink?" Jia Sidao's eyes flashed, "You and me?"
"That's right! I wonder what Brother Shi Xian thought?"
Is this a real drama coming?
"I dare not ask for what I wish!"
"Haha, Shi Xian, please!" Yu Ci laughed out loud.
"please!"
The two of them laughed and walked hand in hand, as if they had known each other for many years.
"Can Shi Xian still drink it?"
"What do Zisheng think?"
"Mr. Zheng is afraid he will be very unhappy."
"Haha, Mr. Zheng is respectful and will not be as knowledgeable as a boy like us."
"Then I won't be drunk today?"
"Okay! Don't go back if you don't get drunk!"
...
"Shi Xian, Zisheng, wait for me, Shi Xian, Zisheng, wait for me!" The two men holding their arms had just taken a few steps when they heard a very familiar voice coming from the crowd again.
Shi Xiang?
Jia Sidao and Yu Ci looked at each other in surprise. When they looked back, who could have been shivering from the crowd and squeezed over with breathlessness? Of course, in addition to Shi Xiang, Nalan Yu, a beautiful follower, also followed.
However, compared to Shi Xiang's two sweating profusely, Nalan Yu's two guards were much more fierce. The pedestrians on the road saw the two of them hiding in a fierce manner, so compared with Shi Xiang who was a little embarrassed, Nalan Yu was walking in the crowd more like a leisurely walk.
It's really awesome for people to be more popular.
However, Shi Xiang only dared to complain in his heart, and did not dare to slack off at all to this girl who was favored by his sister. The consequences of angering Shi Zhenxiang were enough to make Shi Xiang shudder just by thinking about it.
"Why did Brother Zong Sheng come out?" Yu Ci was very familiar with Shi Xiang.
Yu Tianxi Yijie is a common man and can reach the position of Minister of Revenue today. He is in power. It is absolutely impossible without the help of the Shi family, especially Shi Miyuan.
Zheng Qingzhi was different from Yu Tianxi. When Zheng Qingzhi was willing to live in Shi Miyuan's mansion as an aide, he finally entered the central government of the court in order to get Shi Miyuan's appreciation.
Shi Miyuan needed a great scholarly support like Zheng Qingzhi, while Zheng Qingzhi hoped to realize his political ambitions through Shi Miyuan. The demands needed between the two were far more than the friendship between the two. Not to mention that at that time, Zheng Qingzhi already knew that Shi Miyuan was plotting to abolish the prince and prepared to help Zhao Yun ascend the throne.
The identity of an imperial teacher is enough to gain the qualifications and capital he needs.
Therefore, compared with Zheng Qingzhi, the friendship between Yu Tianxi and Shi Songzhi is much deeper than the friendship between the two and Zheng Qingzhi. After all, Yu Tianxi was able to reach today by relying on the Shi family.
"The limelight of today's poetry meeting was occupied by Brother Shi Xian alone. If Brother Shi Xian is missing, what else can I see in this poetry meeting?" Shi Xiang looked at Jia Sidao with complicated eyes and said with a smile.
"I heard from Jia Quan'er that beautiful lady came to this poem to cheer up. Could it be that Brother Zong Sheng has fallen in love with her?" Jia Sidao looked at Nalan Yu who was standing beside Shi Xiang without saying a word, and said with a half-true and half-false smile.
Why did this girl suddenly become so quiet?
"Uh... Zong Sheng was too much of ambition earlier. In the future, Zong Sheng would never have any thoughts about the beautiful girl. Please don't blame Brother Shi Xian, don't blame me!"
“…”
A joke was exchanged for Shi Xiang's answer, but Jia Sidao never thought about it.
This has become a hot commodity.
"Bang! Bang! The pedestrians ahead avoid! Avoid!"
Just at this moment, the sound of gongs and drums, combined with the sound of shouting that the pedestrians were full of energy, came from the imperial road ahead.
With so many pedestrians, there are still officials on patrol at this time?
As I looked up, there were flags all over the sky, and the large "Meng" word on the middle of the flag was clearly visible!
Or a general?
"Huh!" Shi Xiang next to Jia Sidao suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Can General Meng have arrived in Lin'an?"
Chapter completed!
