It was soon time for the time to go to the court. The officials of the Song Dynasty had to go out before dawn, but it was early, so they usually went down to the court at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. As the sound of the scattered bells in the Zhuque Gate Tower rang, the officials began to clean up the tables and left the government office in groups of three or three to go home. Most officials would make an appointment to go somewhere to have a drink, and usually go home after dark.

Li Yanqing was going to Hongqiao Baoyanzhai today. When he went out in the morning, he heard that Wang Gui's father was coming, so he wanted to know about Wang Gui's situation.

As soon as Li Yanqing rode his horse, he heard someone calling him from behind. When he turned around, he saw Chen Dong, the leader of the Tai student, whom he met in the afternoon. He strangled the reins. For a moment, Chen Dong ran up and said, "I have caused trouble for the Censorate today."

"It's okay, you guys disperse in time, things didn't make a big deal. We are all very glad. Did you go to Wendengyuan in the afternoon?"

"We went back to write a letter of justice in the afternoon. It was too late and we planned to go tomorrow morning."

"Then I wish you success in your grievances!"

Li Yanqing urged the horse to leave, but Chen Dong stopped him again. Li Yanqing frowned, "What else do you have?"

Chen Dong bowed deeply, "We are very worried that Wendengyuan will not accept it tomorrow. Censor Li is a senior of the Imperial Academy. Can you give us some advice? We all hope to get help from Censor Li."

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "I want to remind you that it is best to do less when gathering people to march. You have done too much now and have made the court accustomed to it. If there is really something big about the country in the future, you will have no effect when you march and demonstration."

"But if you don't marches and protests, the court will not pay attention to it!"

"You can write a joint letter! It is enough to use a joint letter from hundreds of students in a small case like Zhang Pu, and the court will pay attention to it."

"Thank you, Censor Li, for your advice!"

"I didn't give you some advice, but if I were you, I would try my best to attract the attention of Empress Zheng. If Empress Zheng pays attention to this matter, Kaifeng Mansion would not have closed the case so easily."

"But how can we attract the attention of the Queen? She is in the deep palace!"

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "I only know that the Privy Councilor's surname is Zheng, and I believe he is very happy to see the influence of Empress Zheng in the court."

After saying that, Li Yanqing laughed and urged the horse to leave. Chen Dong thought for a while and suddenly realized. He bowed deeply to Li Yanqing's back and whispered to himself: "Thank you for your advice!"

Li Yanqing came to Baoyanzhai, Hongqiao. At this time, it was the time when there were the most pedestrians. Everyone was wearing winter clothes, making the streets seem very crowded. Li Yanqing had to turn over and get off the horse. The two followers Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying behind him also got off the horse and followed him.

At this time, Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying exclaimed at the same time, their eyes lit up. Li Yanqing also saw a passenger ship sailing in the Bian River to their left. A group of young women stood by the side of the ship, about fifteen or sixteen years old, about eight people, all wearing gorgeous short skirts and long skirts, with very beautiful appearances. They were all female clerks from Baoyanzhai, who came to the main store for training and several batches came every year.

They usually don’t show up in public because they arrived at the dock immediately, so they came out of the cabin to get ashore. Seeing Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying’s eyes eager, Li Yanqing smiled and said, “If you just have some kind of desire, it’s better to go to a brothel. If you want to find a wife to start a family, I can help you.”

Zhang Bao scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't like us!"

"They only earn six taels of silver a month. You earn fifty taels of silver a month. I remember each of you has a savings of hundreds of taels of silver a month! Why do you think they look down on you?"

"We are all rough people!"

"It's not thick if there is money."

Li Yanqing laughed loudly and then walked into the gate of Baoyanzhai. He happened to see the group of beautiful young women in the yard. They came ashore from the dock and walked into Baoyanzhai from the back door. Their training place was the small courtyard where Li Yanqing lived before. Li Daqi had used the yard specifically to train clerks.

At this time, the deputy manager of Baoyanzhai hurriedly came forward to greet him with a smile, "The official is here!"

Li Yanqing raised his chin to a group of beautiful young women, "What are they here to train?"

"Report to the officials, they are here to train makeup. The master invited a very powerful makeup expert from Daming Mansion last month. We all called her Grandma Liu."

Li Yanqing's heart moved and asked with a smile: "How powerful is she?"

"How to say it? She can put a very ordinary-looking woman into makeup as beautiful as a fairy."

"Can you change a person's appearance?"

"Of course! We have seen her with our own eyes. She put on makeup on Magpie Girl. When Magpie Girl came out, we didn't know her at all."

At this time, the deputy manager looked behind Li Yanqing with tongues. When Li Yanqing turned around, he saw a young woman standing behind him. She was not tall, slightly thin, with a powder on her face, looking very pretty. Although it was the first time she saw this woman, Li Yanqing felt that she seemed familiar.

The woman covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "Don't the little official know me anymore?"

"Are you a magpies?" Li Yanqing was stunned for a moment.

The voice was clearly a magpie, but this look was completely different. If I hadn't been familiar with her temperament, I wouldn't recognize her. It turned out that the magpie's eyebrows were relatively short, but now they became thin and long. The eyes were originally very round, like longan, but now they have lengthened, and their noses seemed to have become taller. The key is the face shape. It was originally a slender face, but now it has become wider. Is this plastic surgery or makeup?

After Li Yanqing looked closely, he found that the magpie's face had not become wider. It was just an illusion of his own eyes. He used hairstyle and makeup to make his face look fuller and naturally felt wider.

Li Yanqing grabbed Xi Magpie's thin arm and pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "Is this Grandma Liu the idea you are thinking about to change Sisi's appearance?"

"Actually, what Qing'er thought of was that she knew there was such a person, so I suggested that the master invite her, and then I would learn makeup skills from her, and I would teach Qing'er and Sister Sisi again when I went back."

"Why don't you let her teach directly?"

The magpie pouted and said, "Don't the little official believe in my ability? I put on my own makeup on my face. Grandma Liu praised me for being better than being better than being, and she is her best disciple."

Li Yanqing nodded, "You have the talent for learning, and you have seen it since you were a child."

The magpie laughed again, "You little official is here to find Gui Ge'er!"

"Wang Gui is here too?"

"Well! He came with his father and lived in Tang's Inn. Let you go there to find him."

Li Yanqing was overjoyed, turned around and walked, took a few steps, and then turned around and told Xique, "Go back and say something to Sisi, and say I'll come back later today!"

"I see!"

Li Yanqing sent Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying back first. He came to Tang's Inn alone in the outer city. Tang's Inn is the base camp of the Tangyin Association. Almost all the guests are fellow villagers. As soon as Li Yanqing walked into the lobby, he saw Wang Gui sitting in the lobby waiting for him. The two hugged him excitedly. Wang Gui punched him with a shoulder and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that you kid will become the censor."

"Didn't you be promoted?"

Because of his contribution to the peace of bandits in the Battle of Xixia, Wang Gui has been promoted to the 7th-rank Yihui School Captain, and has served as deputy envoy of the Xiangzhou Regiment Training, equivalent to the Minister of the People's Armed Forces Department of Xiangzhou, and is in charge of training in the village soldiers and bow and archery clubs.

"No matter how powerful you are, the Censor! If you go to Xiangzhou now, the magistrate and the magistrate will be trembling with fear. These gangsters have embezzled my military pay."

Li Yanqing laughed in silence and asked again: "Where is your bride? I heard you are already married."

"You said A Yuan, she is at home! I just came to the capital to work, and I was not transferred to the capital. My family is now Anyang, an official house covering an area of ​​eight acres. I never thought it would be!"

"You dare to live wider than me."

"Can I change with you?"

Li Yanqing slapped him on the back of the head and cursed with a smile: "The skin is itchy again, let's go! Have a drink."

Wang Gui smiled and said, "I'll say it first, you treat me!"

"Let's go!"

Li Yanqing took Wang Gui to Zhouxi Wazi. The two found a wine shop with good wine, called Yang Xizi official shop. The so-called official shop is a shop where you can buy wines from wine. The sheep wine in this shop is quite famous.

The two sat down by the window on the second floor, ordered seven or eight dishes and two pots of wine. Li Yanqing filled Wang Gui with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Tell me how you are doing in the group training?"

"What else can it be done!"

Wang Gui took a sip of wine and said, "Two deputy regiment training envoys, one in charge of the prison city camp, the other in charge of the village soldiers and the bow and arrow club training. I just work hard and take a group of village soldiers around all day long. But I would rather be tired than ignore the prison city camp. Damn it, it's too dark."

"I know, it's almost the same place."
