Chang'an is good

Chapter 90 The Shortcut to Fame
A Che replied in a low voice: "Back to the girl, this subordinate has been guarding near the restaurant that the girl mentioned for the past few days, and he has not seen that person appear yet."

Chang Suining: "Then keep watching."

Hearing her tone, Ah Che couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Is the girl sure that that person will definitely appear?"

Chang Suining nodded: "She will."

In the past, she was Li Shangshi, the eldest princess of Chongyue, and most of the time she showed herself as her twin brother Li Xiao.

During her days as Ah Xiao, she did many things, fought many battles, became the crown prince of Dasheng, and also became the most eye-catching target——

The second prince, whose biological mother is an imperial concubine, and whose uncle is the right minister of the court, regards "Li Xiao" as a thorn in his side, and every day he does not want to remove "Li Xiao" as a stumbling block.

The third prince with the queen as his backer has been at odds with Ah Xiao since he was a child, and his hostility towards "Li Xiao" who has become the crown prince will naturally only increase.

This is the most noteworthy enemy on the surface. The interests of all parties are complicated, and there are countless eyes staring at her, the crown prince.

People are always pushed forward. If she wants to survive, she needs to treat the court as a battlefield, and always remind herself not to be careless.

When not fighting, she mostly lived in the Xuance Mansion and the East Palace instead of A Xiao, and A Xiao replaced her in the residence of Princess Chongyue all the year round to recuperate.

However, in some special occasions where authenticity needs to be verified, she often needs to temporarily switch identities with Ah Xiao.When the two were in Beijing together, they always needed to send messages to each other.

Because of those eyes and ears who are always watching the East Palace and Xuan Ce Mansion, she secretly asked her confidants to buy a restaurant in the city in the early years, in addition to inquiring about news from various sources, it was more for the purpose of passing news to various places.

Before she got someone to take over that restaurant, the business was extremely quiet, but who would have thought that after her people took over, the business would become more and more prosperous...

Restaurant diners come and go, and under the busy eyes of many people, it is necessary to be more careful in conveying messages, so she is used to using different code patterns to distinguish and replace letterheads with various places. Not only can outsiders fail to see the clues, each They only recognize their own codes, but they don't know what other dozens of codes show, thus ensuring the confidentiality of message transmission.

The pattern she left in the Princess's Mansion that day was the one she used to deliver news to the Princess's Mansion in the past - and the only person in the Princess's Mansion who was designated to pass the news to the restaurant was Yuxie.

Therefore, Yuxi knew very well that seeing this code was like seeing her.

It is not easy for a woman to disguise herself as a man, especially since she is very unfamiliar at the beginning, she cannot hide it from everyone by herself, so she needs someone to cover for her and cooperate with her——

Yuxie was the envoy chosen by the Empress Ming to guard this shocking secret together with her.

From the first day she started pretending to be Ah Xiao, Yu Xie knew this secret clearly.

During the days when she became Ah Xiao, Yuzhu accompanied her step by step from unfamiliarity to proficiency, from uneasy to calm and calm.

She once regarded Yuzhu as the most loyal and closest person besides Ah Zeng.

Of course, the reason why she concluded that Yu Xie would find it with that code is naturally not because she believes in the so-called loyalty of the other party——

Loyalty will disappear, but the guilty conscience and fear of having done such bad things as betraying the master and killing the master, and needing to keep this secret that will lead to death for oneself, are destined to always be buried deep in the bottom of my heart.

Even if Yuzhuan is not crazy enough to conclude that she is still alive based on a secret signal, there will definitely be many uneasy speculations.

These speculations cannot be suppressed, they will only intensify in the hearts of those with a guilty conscience, making them suffer from fear all the time, until they push open the door called confirmation with their own hands——

Therefore, she firmly believes that the jade scraps will be found, sooner or later.

She has a lot of things to do, and she is not in a hurry about this one. What she should be anxious about is the jade chips that can only think about this thing in her heart all the time.

……

The day after Chang Suining returned home, Yao Xia led a group of young ladies who had been subdued by Chang Suining in Dayun Temple to the gate of Chang's house.

As soon as Yao Xia saw Chang Suining, she clung to him, hugged Chang Suining's arm every day, and said, "Sister Chang has gone to the Imperial College to study now, it really is different, and now she has the smell of books on her body!"

Who wouldn't be fascinated by such a sister Chang?

As soon as Chang Suian came to the garden, he saw that among the flowers, the round-faced girl with an obsessive smile was holding her sister's arm intoxicated.

The rest of the brightly dressed girls also gathered around and chatted with her sister about everything, their eyes were shining brightly.

Chang Suian paused and frowned greatly: "...Where do these people come from? Why are they all pestering Ningning like this?"

Jiantong also frowned.

Guan Shi said that many young ladies from various prefectures came to the mansion, all of whom were not engaged, so he hinted that he would bring his husband who is already worthy of marriage to meet by chance. Is it easy?

Hearing this overly casual words, Jiantong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as expected of the Chang family, even Langjun's marriage should be stress-saving.

And Lang Jun's reaction at this moment is obviously too easy.

Obviously, there is no little lady in Mr. Lang's eyes, but he divides people into "my sister" and "those who pester my sister"——

"Brother?"

Chang Suining has always had sharp eyes and sharp ears, and he has already seen Chang Suian behind the flowers and trees not far away.

Chang Suian had no choice but to go forward.

As the young man walked over to salute, the girls who returned the salute quietly cast curious glances—is this Mrs. Chang's elder brother?

Chang Sui'an felt uncomfortable with these explicit or covert gazes, and hurriedly said: "Ning Ning, I still have things to do, so I won't disturb you to enjoy the flowers."

Chang Suining nodded.

Before Chang Suian left, he subconsciously glanced at the arms that were still tightly holding his sister, and the owner of those arms——

Yao Xia also looked at him, and when his eyes met, Chang Suian secretly remembered this person.

His sister finally came back for two days, and he still wanted to talk to her, but in the end, a group of people who robbed him of her sister came—and this person looked like the leader.

"The elder brother of Mrs. Chang's family was born really mighty..."

"As expected of a general's disciple."

"Last time at Dayun Temple, I only saw it once from a distance, and today I can see it clearly when we get closer... Mr. Chang Lang and Mrs. Chang are equally good-looking."

After Chang Suian left, a group of lively girls praised him without hesitation.

They naturally know that the brothers and sisters of the Chang family are not really blood-related brothers and sisters, and their lives are not similar. Mrs. Chang is delicate and beautiful, and she is beautifully crafted, while Mr. Chang Lang is mighty and strong, a kind of bold and resolute. handsome.

While the girls were chirping and praising, someone lightly poked Yao Xia: "Axia, why don't you talk?"

At this time, how can we miss the speech of this womanizer?

Yao Xia, who was named, recalled and commented: "Brother Chang's eyes are so big, I am really envious."

When she was about to look at it, she saw the other person staring at her. She didn't understand why for a while, and only saw those big eyes. When she was feeling how someone's eyes can be so big, she didn't have time to look at other things carefully. It's convenient. left already.

She is only curious about one thing, with such big eyes, can she see more and more clearly when looking at things?If I can lend her to see the beautiful little lady, I think it will be considered a disappointment to God's bounty.

This thought was fleeting, and Yao Xia quickly turned his attention back to Chang Suining: "Sister Chang, tell us about the Imperial College?"

Chang Suining thought of the scenes of himself practicing martial arts and reading, fishing and eating fish every day, and for a while he didn't know where to start to add some interest.

And adding interest from words is at best superficial——

Once she's gotten used to her surroundings, it's time to think about actually doing something fun.

……

When Yao Xia left Changfu, the sky was almost dark.

This insatiable act of greed made Chang Sui Anpin show some similarities with Qiao Yubai, and thus he had a deeper impression of Yao Xia.

Yao Xia, who had monopolized Chang's elder sister for a whole day, was in a good mood. When she got off the carriage in front of the house, her steps were extraordinarily brisk.

Yao Xia was talking to the envoy while walking towards the house. When he reached the front yard, he just met Yao Yi who was coming towards him.

"Uncle."

"It's A-Xia." Yao Yi asked casually, "Where did this go?"

Yao Xia smiled contentedly and said: "Stayed in General Chang's residence all day."

Yao Yi came to a sudden: "Did you go to the common lady?"

"Yes, Sister Chang is now studying in the Imperial College, and it's hard to meet her."

Yao Yi was surprised and embarrassed: "Goed to the Imperial College to study?"

Yao Xia nodded: "Sister Chang has worshiped Qiao Jijiu as her teacher, but the apprentice banquet has not yet been formally held."

"Oh...so that's the case." Yao Yi couldn't help raising his eyebrows, a little puzzled and a little thoughtful.

"Uncle, I'll go back first." Yao Xia didn't say any more, and left after blessing Fushen.

Yao Yi took a few steps forward, but stopped again, thinking nonstop.

Didn't you practice martial arts before, why now you want to go to the Imperial College to worship Master Qiao Jijiu?
What is this man with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west doing?

Is it the whim of a girl's family?
But having said that... Apprenticeship is a good thing.

Especially scribes with the status of worshiping Qiao Jijiu as teachers.

Throughout the past and present, some unknown people still need to be famous before they can achieve anything. There are two shortcuts to becoming famous. One of them is to learn from a teacher. It is also a steady profit without loss. It can be said that if you get a little bit, you will make a profit.

Therefore, this "baizi tactic" is actually a must-have boutique for fame in ancient and modern times.

And the second one is the "typing formula", just like a knight who has just entered the arena and wants to quickly make a name for himself, he always has to fight everywhere to challenge the masters of various sects.

The same is true for those who compete for hegemony, either you hit me or I hit you. The essence of this shortcut is to hit others in the face and make your name famous. The effect of the word rubbing is also gratifying, so this method is also popular and enduring——

Thinking of this, Yao Tingwei suddenly flashed before his eyes the bruised nose and swollen face of Ying Guogong's son when he was expelled from Dayun Temple...

Then came a shock.

She seems to have no rules, but in fact she beats and worships... Could it be that she just wants to make a name for herself?
But what is she going to do after claiming her name?
Yao Yi took two steps forward, stopped, and then moved forward again.

Looking at the strange steps of his master, the servant was at a loss.

Look again - Yao Yi said again from the bottom of his heart.

But then not only do you have to look again...

Still have to see more.

He looked at the last twilight that was about to be swallowed by the night with his hands behind his back.

At the same moment, in Anyi Square, in Cui's ancestral hall, a figure was kneeling.

He is a regular visitor here, Cui Lang, the Liulang of the Cui family, is also.

At this moment, he said he was kneeling on the cattail mat, but he was half sitting and dozed off, until he heard footsteps coming from behind him, he immediately kneeled upright.

"Brother has this vigilance, it is suitable to be a sentinel."

Hearing this voice, Cui Lang heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around, seeing Cui Tang's hands were empty, he asked, "Where's the food?"

Cui Tang looked at him coolly: "There is no food, but the punishment has been brought to you."

Cui Lang was puzzled: "Aren't I being punished rightly?"

"Kneeling in the ancestral hall is already commonplace for you. Is eating a meal considered a punishment?" Cui Tang said: "Father said that you refused to change after repeated admonitions, so you should think of a way to cure you so that you can truly grow up." It's a memory-"

Cui Lang heard it as if he was facing a formidable enemy: "Should I still restrain my feet?"

"This is not."

Cui Lang heaved a sigh of relief and became indifferent.

It doesn't matter, as long as he is not locked at home, everything is easy to talk about.

Cui Tang: "I just want you to study—"

Cui Lang: "Read?"

Cui Tang: "Go to the Imperial College."

Cui Lang: "Where are you going?!"

"Imperial Academy." Seeing his expression, Cui Tang comforted him, "Brother, don't worry, although you are not good at studying, you are from the Cui family. It is still very easy for you to enter the Imperial Academy."

"...But I went to the Imperial College, and I only come home once every ten days. How is this different from being in prison?" Cui Lang was greatly terrified: "I just got into a fight with someone over a cup of flower wine, so the crime is not so serious!"

As he spoke, he stared at Cui Tang all of a sudden, he was terrified and somewhat suspicious: "Cui Tang, are you coaxing me, why did father tell me to go to the Imperial College?"

The father is the most self-esteemed and noble, and never disdains to associate with ordinary people from poor families, and most of the Guozijian are ordinary children from ordinary backgrounds. Father must hate him so much that he can think of punishing his son for disgusting himself, hurting his son eight hundred times One thousand ways?

Cui Tang nodded: "Father is not very happy, but this is what grandfather meant."

Cui Lang's eyes widened immediately, and his face was ashamed: "It's over, grandfather's decision can never be changed..."

"And there must be a deep meaning." Cui Tang added.

Cui Lang was in despair for a while, and he lay down on the mattress, wailing, "Father dare not disobey grandfather... What about mother, I have worked hard for my mother for many years, and even she won't save me?"

"Mother had thought about it a long time ago. Due to my father's stubbornness, he never dared to mention it. It is best for my grandfather to speak up this time. She is now happily burning incense in the small Buddhist hall."

Cui Lang's desperate wailing resounded through the entire ancestral hall.

Cui Tang quietly listened to his brother's wailing gradually weakened and turned into a moan.

Unexpectedly, the more he moaned, the more aggrieved he felt, and finally he sat up alone, pursed his lips and walked out quickly.

Cui Tang turned to his back and asked: "Why, brother, are you going to seek your grandfather's theory?"

"I would like to, but do you have the guts?" Cui Lang was indignant and wronged: "I'm not the elder brother!"

Cui Tang followed up: "Then why is brother so aggressive?"
