Chapter 96
Yao Shu tried his best to control his blushing, and said seriously: "It means telling a story for you to listen to alone. This kind of talk! It sounds good, but it never comes true. It's called sweet talk."

Seeing the joy of struggling in her expression, Lin Zhi frowned slightly, and said, "Ashu, I'm serious."

Seeing what he said, Yao Shu couldn't help imagining the scene of Lin Roe telling a story, and the throbbing just now was instantly reduced.

She smiled and shook her head: "Don't—if you are serious, your voice is nice, but it is not suitable for telling stories."

She also once summed up the reason why Lin Roe looked much colder than others.

First of all, when facing outsiders, Lin Roe never has superfluous expressions on his face. When others see him, they just want to stay away from him; secondly, it’s okay for him to talk less. Every time he speaks, his tone and tone are different. is exactly the same...

What a storyteller needs is an emotive voice. If Lin Zhi really wanted to tell a story, he might have to rely on his face to attract the audience.

Seeing what she said, Lin Rong bent his lips and did not refute.

Yao Shu recalled the embarrassment he had just provoked by his words, and said in a muffled voice: "From now on, you don't want to say nice things, I don't like to hear them."

Lin Rong never liked to chat with people, let alone say nice words.

The words he has spoken in the past year at the border are probably not as many as the words he and Yao Shu have said these days combined.

Just facing Yao Shu, he unconsciously wanted to talk to her.

"You obviously like to hear it," the man's deep voice carried a little smile, "Second Brother said, women love duplicity the most, and sometimes they can't listen to what you say, but depend on your performance and reaction."

Yao Shu couldn't help but widen his eyes, feeling extremely absurd: "What? No—why is there a second brother everywhere?!"

Lin Rong is going to be led by Yao Chao, right?What he originally took should be the script of the male protagonist who doesn't understand the love of his sons and daughters.

Lin Zhi said sternly: "Second brother is right. I have never paid attention to how to deal with women, and sometimes I annoy you without knowing what I say. I am going to ask second brother for advice on this issue."

Yao Shu's heart exploded, and he couldn't imagine how she would react if Lin Roe talked to her particularly boringly.

She expressed strong resistance: "You don't want to learn from him——! You are very good just the way you are!"

Lin Zhi didn't speak, but laughed softly.

The man was about to say something when he saw a young man in a dark blue robe walking up from the first floor, walking straight towards them.

The young man looked handsome and dignified, and behaved gracefully. He walked up to Lin Rong and Yao Shu's table, bowed his hands to them, and said, "My brother, madam, I'm being polite."

The two returned a salute to the young man, and Yao Shu noticed that his clothes were not thin, but a bit worn.

The young man smiled and asked: "I heard from the waiter in the store that the customers upstairs seem to know some news about going east. I don't know if it is true? I would like to ask you a question or two."

Lin Rong asked him, "Are you going out of the city?"

The blue-robed young man nodded: "Xia Yuzhi, I will go to the capital to take the exam in the spring, and I will leave soon. I don't know what to call Xiongtai?"

Lin Zhi said, "My surname is Lin."

Yu Zhi was very polite: "So it's Brother Lin and Mrs. Lin."

Yao Shu trembled when he was called "Mrs. Lin", and couldn't accept the bitterness of Dayan's scholar for a while.

She guessed that Yu Zhi should be a scholar who spends money by storytelling in the teahouse these days, and she sympathized with him very much in her heart.

She kindly reminded the scholar: "If you want to go east, you'd better go with someone else, so you can have someone to take care of you."

Sure enough, Yu Zhi's eyes showed some anxiety, and asked: "How do you talk about it? Are there really bandits?"

Yao Shu touched Lin Roe's arm, motioning for him to speak.

Lin Zhi then explained: "That's true. This group of bandits came down from the north and entrenched on the Black Tiger Mountain and White Tiger Mountain. It's been more than a month now. The recent period is when bandit activities are frequent. Brother Yu still has to be careful on the road. .”

Yu Zhi saw that he was a scholar with no strength to restrain him, and Lin Roe didn't want to let him have an accident, so he had to remind him again.

Sure enough, the scholar said worriedly: "This...it's been so easy to save almost all the money, and now it's being robbed by bandits. How can it be so difficult to go north to Beijing alone?"

Seeing that his behavior is very educated, and he doesn't seem to have endured hardship, Yao Shu guessed that Yu Zhi might be a child of some scholar's family in the south.

She couldn't help being curious: "Why do you want to go to Beijing alone? When you go to Beijing to catch the exam, don't you have to be sent off by relatives or accompanied by friends, what about your family members? They don't even care about you?"

Speaking of this, Yu Zhi was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "I'm ashamed to say it. The three of us cousins ​​will all end this year, but it's the first time for everyone to come to Beijing, thinking that if we can compete, who will arrive first?" Beijing..."

He cleared his throat: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and when I grew up, I mostly stayed at home studying. Now this is the first time I go out, so I am not familiar with it."

Yao Shu frowned, and couldn't understand: "The Beijing test is held every three years. If you miss it, wouldn't it be a three-year delay? You brothers are making a joke about this, making a bet? Don't worry, you haven't traveled far. The person from Shangjing?"

A dazed look appeared on Yu Zhi's face, and he said aggrievedly: "I don't know either! The two cousins ​​said that we are all people who are going to end, and we need to be alone in the future... Now in this competition, we are not allowed to be together, it depends on who If I can enter Beijing first, I will take the money and go on the road."

Let's see who can enter Beijing first?What kind of competition is this?Is there any point...

Yao Shu endured it, and then heard the scholar say in a daze, "I thought I was lucky. As soon as I left the house, I ran into a convoy saying that I was going to Beijing...but who would have thought that the group of people would get on the car and pull the car?" Wearing fur, he is actually going to Xijing!"

Xijing was the capital of Dayan three generations ago. The northwest was particularly turbulent back then, so the imperial court moved the capital to the plains to the east, leaving room for buffering the war.

It's just that Xijing is located in the northwest, one hundred and eight thousand miles away from the capital.If Yu Zhi really followed the convoy to Xijing, no matter how hard he went back then, he would not be able to make it to the capital before the exam started.

Yao Shu doubted: "The group of people don't know that you are going to rush for the exam?"

Yu Zhi said helplessly: "I told them at the very beginning that I was going to take the exam in the capital, and the steward of the team warmly greeted me to go with them, but they never stopped in towns along the way, and I don't know where we are. Where did I get to... It was also the more I walked, the more I felt that something was wrong, so I quietly asked the passers-by, and only then did I know that the group of people were going in the direction of Xijing."

In ancient times, merchants traveled all over the country, and there were motorcades, so it was impossible to get the wrong place.

Besides, the relocation of Dayan's capital is such an important event that generations will not easily forget it.

Xijing and Beijing are far apart, how could they be wrong?

Yao Shu frowned and asked him, "Haven't you ever thought that they lied to you?"

Yu Zhi's face was full of innocence, and he looked very deceitful: "I don't have anything on my lower body, and I only have a dozen or so taels of money for money, so what's so deceitful?"

This just spoke to Yao Shu's heart: "I heard that you lost all your money?"

Speaking of this, the young man was quite embarrassed, and said honestly: "After I bid farewell to the brothers in the team, I stayed at the nearest inn at night. Who would want to sleep, and the burden will disappear..."

Yao Shu held his forehead, even Lin Rong frowned.

She asked one more question: "How is your relationship with your two cousins?"
