always a fairy

Chapter 46 Fengming Upstairs
Fengming Tower is on the riverside, and it is the most crowded riverside.

Its location is in the middle of Yuhang County.

In any corner of the city, you can see two buildings as long as you look up, one is the magnificent Dabei Building, and the other is the luxurious Fengming Building.

On the top floor of the Great Compassion Building is the Golden Buddha with four elephants and jade faces. Legend has it that the abbot of Lingyin Temple personally carried it back from the Western Regions. This Buddha has four faces and weighs a thousand catties. It is difficult for ten people to lift it on weekdays, which shows the strength of the abbot. tyrannical.

On the roof of Fengming Building, there is a huge phoenix character. If you want to say that the phoenix character is more valuable, it is the character that Her Highness Princess Changfeng personally inscribed, which is no less than the book made by imperial edict, so the phoenix character was created. Minglou's current status.

It is indeed extremely difficult to enter the Fengming Tower. There are three gates at the door, the first one is the welcoming way. If you are dressed in rags, you will never be able to walk in. A group of martial arts will throw you out directly.

So when you want to enter Fengming Tower, you have to wear your best clothes.

The second way is Shanshui Dao. Its name is very pleasant, but in fact it is the most snobbish. What you want is your status in this landscape. This is obviously a huge faction in the scholar-bureaucrat family. People have their own factions, their own teams.

The four famous families are the most powerful among the factions of the scholar-bureaucrat family. The Qin family of Huangzhou, the Fan family of Xuzhou, the Jia family of Linzhou, the Pang family of Guangzhou, and the Shaoyang Buchu scholar-bureaucrats were their highest honors, but now It has evolved more and more, and it has become: even though the four surnames are commoners, they are still proud of their officials.

If you want to become an official in Shaoyang, in addition to the stinky and long road of the imperial examination, you have to rely more on the literati. With the support of the gentry, you can directly rise to the top.

The third gate of Fengming Tower is the most critical.

Famous.

Even if you are a member of a scholar-bureaucrat family, who really knows how many people there are in the scholar-bureaucrat family?If you can't name yourself, you can only drink tea on the first floor of Fengming Building, how can you enter the upper floors?
Therefore, at this moment, Chu Xiuran could only sit obediently on the first floor.

Even though he is the Bapin County Captain of Yuhang County, he can only sit and drink tea on the first floor.

Fortunately, Chu Xiuran was not in a hurry, he just waited so quietly, he didn't know what he was waiting for, but the old Taoist told him to wait naturally.

Chu Xiuran asked for a pot of tea, and as soon as he sat down, he saw a large group of people walking from the fifth floor to the third floor, surrounded by a young man and a young girl. He didn't know the young man and the young girl well, but he felt that the two of them must be extraordinary People, although Chu Xiuran is also the family property of the clan, but he belongs to the noble clan of the clan, and the difference of one word is thousands of miles. From this point of view, the girl must be the daughter of everyone, and the young man next to him is just trying to climb the dragon and become the phoenix.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiuran felt a pang of sadness in his heart, the cold wind was blowing outside the door, what were the family members of those dead children thinking?These people are enjoying themselves here, but they are still grieving for the loss of their son, and they are heartbroken.

Helpless, helpless!

Chu Xiuran took a sip of tea, and suddenly saw a person among the crowd.

"Shi Zirui?"

Chu Xiuran frowned in bewilderment, "Why is he here?"

Shi Zirui is the eldest son of the Shi family, Shi Qiang's younger brother who once had a marriage contract with him. At the time of the marriage contract, he had a relationship with Shi Zirui once. This Shi family is just a cloth merchant's family, and Shi Zirui is not a famous family. The famous family is not a high-ranking official, how could it appear here?

He, a county lieutenant, can only sit here, but why can Shi Zirui go to the upper floor?

Shi Qiang?

The guilt in Chu Xiuran's heart poured down like a flood.

Shi Qiang and him were classmates, and they had studied together in Yuhang County. This was the reason why Chu Xiuran had to come to Yuhang County after he became an official. He just wanted to find Shi Qiang and continue his relationship.Although the family didn't quite agree, but after Chu Xiuran's hard work, the father who was in a high position reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

But who would have expected that Shi Qiang would pass away as soon as the engagement was finalized.

Chu Xiuran, who thought he was being tricked by God's will, could only drink away his worries every day and hadn't interfered with the county's affairs for a long time, which led to the urgent situation and was forced to solve the case.

Chu Xiuran frowned, and said in his heart: "No, he can't be in this position no matter what. This upstairs is not an ordinary upstairs, but a leap of class. Is it possible that Shi Zirui has made friends during this time?" When it comes to the disciples of the noble clan? Ordinary clans certainly cannot bring businessmen into the Fengming Tower, only the disciples of the noble clan can do it."

Thinking of this, Chu Xiuran didn't care about it anymore, and kept playing with the jade pendant that the old Taoist gave him, with a lot of thoughts in his heart: "He is him, I am me, and we are not a family now, so naturally we don't need to worry about it. It's everyone else's business, so what does it have to do with me?"

The group of people above had just settled down, but a voice suddenly appeared, "Lord County Captain!"

Chu Xiuran turned his head and looked over. It was Shi Zirui who was standing on the second floor calling him. He arched his hands and bowed high. He said in awe, "Lord County Captain, may I have time to come to the second floor to talk?"

Chu Xiuran didn't know why, but he didn't get up, he just stared at him and said, "You looking for me?"

Shi Zirui said: "It's not me, but this young master, Jia Qing, I think you should know who he is?"

I know he is a hairy?

Although Chu Xiuran didn't know, he couldn't act like he didn't know, so he immediately smiled and said, "I've admired you for a long time."

Shi Zirui's expression became much more comfortable: "Jia Shinai in Linzhou is one of the four surnames. Mr. Jia wants to make friends with the county captain of Chu. I don't know what the county captain would like?"

Chu Xiuran's heart skipped a beat.

Although he didn't know who Jia Qing was, he was very familiar with one of the four surnames of Jia Shi in Linzhou. Now that his father was able to reach the fifth rank, he was also attached to Jia Shi in Linzhou.

He raised his head and looked up at Shi Zirui.

Shi Zirui's words are not much different from directly holding the knife holder on the neck. If people can bring out the surname Jia Shi in Linzhou, it has already explained the meaning that if you Chu Xiuran is not here today, you will die tomorrow.Naturally, Chu Xiuran couldn't say anything, and immediately said, "Okay."

Said and walked to the second floor.

There are much more guests on the second floor than on the first floor, and there are noisy sounds around, but if you look carefully, you can tell that no matter who it is, they must avoid the place where Linzhou Jiashi is, and they sit there leisurely , the young master called Jia Qing in the middle, was shaking the folding fan in his hand, looking at Chu Xiuran with a smile on his face, but he didn't get up.

Chu Xiuran walked in front of the crowd, only to realize that the only person who could sit with them on the white goose down bed was the girl who had been surrounded before, and everyone else was standing.

"This is the county captain of Yuhang County, Chu Xiuran." Shi Zirui didn't seem to want to give up this opportunity to show his face, and when Chu Xiuran walked over, he stepped forward to introduce him.

Unexpectedly, Jia Qing didn't buy it, she didn't even look at Shi Zirui, she looked at Chu Xiuran with a very clear purpose, and said with a smile: "Captain Chu County, please forgive me, where did the jade pendant in your hand come from? "

Chu Xiuran looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, and when he shouted in his heart that it was so, he still said calmly on the surface: "Do you know this thing?"

Jia Qing said, "Not bad."

Chu Xiuran said, "Is this yours?"

Jia Qing said again: "Not bad."

Chu Xiuran was silent, he didn't know what to say next, how did this thing appear in his hands, why did it appear in his hands, and who was it related to, he couldn't say a single word.

Jia Qing seemed to have noticed something, and said slowly: "This jade was lost a few days ago, fortunately, Captain Chu helped me find it, thank you."

He stretched out his hand, and someone beside him immediately walked up to Chu Xiuran, reaching out to fetch the jade.

But suddenly a hand grabbed Chu Xiuran's hand and pulled him back.

"I don't think this thing is worth a lot of money. You are dressed so well, how could it be yours?"

Chu Xiuran turned his head to look, and was immediately overjoyed.

"Bai Yujing!"
