Su curtain has a cover

"Brother Xiahou, I'm just talking casually." Seeing Twelve disappearing outside the door, Su Mu frowned: "It's not like this..."

"Hush——" Xia Houzhe put his index finger in front of his lips, and his long eyelashes drooped down, casting thick shadows on his lower eyelids: "Listen."

"it is good!"

There was a roar of applause in the hall, and Su Mu's eyes were attracted, and he found that the voice was coming from those students.

"It's really a good poem!"

"Brother Li is so talented, if he didn't care about fame and fortune, he would have been on the gold list long ago!"

"There is nothing wrong with the succession and transformation, especially the last sentence, which is really a stroke of genius."

There were about [-] or [-] students gathered there, but the round table under Fanlou only had seats for ten people.

So half of the people stood aside, applauding the middle-aged man in the first seat.

The middle-aged man was around forty, with an ordinary face and a scribe's mustache on his chin, but his narrowed eyes occasionally flashed brightly.

He stood up modestly and cupped his hands to the surroundings: "Don't dare to act, don't dare to move, today the topic is Gui, Li is just throwing bricks to attract jade, you are the real talents who win the laurels!"

As soon as he said this, the students at the same table also stood up, and those who were interested raised their glasses and said: "Brother Li Zhuyu is in front of you, let's drink up this cup as a respect."

Others responded one after another, and the downstairs was very lively for a while.

Su Mu sighed: "These people are really stable."

Dayuan will try every three years, and the court will not open Enke unless there is a major event.So if you fail the list, you have to wait another three years.

Looking at the people downstairs, their clothes can only be regarded as neat and tidy, and their age is not considered young.

It is estimated that they are all poor students.

Twelve's speed was very fast. After the group of people downstairs finished a round of poetry, he had already returned with the things he had found.

"The man sitting in the east is called Li Songhe. I'm not sure if his real name is true. This man started to be active in the capital six years ago. It is said that his family has a lot of wealth and he has always respected scholars. He once said that as long as his knowledge can be appreciated by him, then He will give a thousand gold."

Twelve scratched his head: "My subordinates did a quick check. This official Li, he did give a thousand pieces of gold to several literati, and one of them is now working in the Ministry of Rites."

"A gift of a thousand pieces of gold..." Xia Houzhe brushed off the tea foam, "Oh, what does his family do."

"This is the strange part. It is rumored that the Li family is in business. But what exactly they do, and where they do it, no one can explain clearly."

Su Mu turned to look at that Li Songhe, the atmosphere downstairs was very lively.Fan Lou provided pen and ink, and the poems of the students were copied one by one, and those people commented on each other and sent the best copies to Li Songhe.

"Most of these students come from poor families. Every time they are about to take the exam, Li Songhe will hold regular gatherings. If someone gets blue eyes, he will generously increase the money."

Twelve tsk tsk: "Gold, some people give it away for free, who of these students would think that this money is burning their hands?"

At this moment, Li Songhe looked at a poem manuscript and applauded: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

He uttered three wonderful characters, and then exclaimed: "Although this poem is about osmanthus, there is no osmanthus in the whole article. But it is silent, but it makes people feel that the fragrance of osmanthus is lingering in the nose. Wonderful , It's wonderful!"

Seeing that he admired him so much, others hurried forward to see it.

Li Songhe generously handed out the manuscript for circulation, and as more people read it, more and more people echoed and praised it.

"Brother Zhao wrote this, he really deserves to be one of the Eight Talents of Qiantang!"

The man who was congratulated by several people and called Brother Zhao blushed. He pretended to be humble and bowed to the left and right. Su Mu who was sitting on top could see the pride in his eyes.

"Huh?" Su Mu poked his head forward, and he asked with some uncertainty: "Just now, Li Songhe seemed to have made eye contact with this person?"

Xia Houzhe shook his head: "I didn't notice."

Twelve, who was standing aside with his sword in his arms, suppressed a smile: "Master Su, my master has been watching..."

"To shut up."

When the master spoke, Twelve quickly closed his mouth, and even covered it tightly.

Su Mu raised his eyebrows: "What has your master been looking at?"

Twelve blinked innocently, then he tilted his head: "What?"

Seeing his cute look, Su Mu's eyes overflowed with a smile.Xia Houzhe tensed his jaw: "Let Lao Jiu go and check on this Li Songhe, you, go to Lao Liu."

Twelve seemed to be hit by a bolt from the blue, and he vividly showed what it means to be wronged with his expression.

The originally pleasing almond eyes suddenly turned red, and the two eyebrows drooped.Twelve wanted to say something, but looking at the cruel Xia Houzhe, he only dared to cry: "I...are wronged!"

Su Mu probably guessed that it was not a good thing to go looking for the sixth child. Looking at Twelve's appearance, he couldn't help smoothing things over and said, "Why don't we forget it? After all, I'm young, so I shouldn't ask."

It was the first time Twelve saw someone dare to intercede in front of his master, he looked at Su Mu in awe.

At the same time, he was also prepared in his heart, if the master punished him harder, then he would definitely not say anything again.

"It's none of your business."

Twelve suspected that he was hallucinating. He stared at Xia Houzhe foolishly. When he was sent out, he was still in an illusory state.

In the wing room, Su Mu stroked his stomach and looked at the remaining cakes with some regret.

"I have been to Fanlou before, why have I never seen these snacks?"

Xia Houzhe put down the teacup he had been holding for a long time, and tapped on the table with his slender fingers: "These are specially provided by Tianlou."

Su Mu suddenly realized that the privileged class is really good.

Looking out at the sky, Xia Houzhe said casually: "There is a gathering by the Jinhua Pool tonight, and I heard that there are people from other places setting up a stall."

Foreigner?Su Mu became a little interested. He has been in Dayuan for so long, and he hasn't seen a foreigner with his own eyes.Glancing at Xia Houzhe's expression, he tentatively asked, "Then...go together?"

Xia Houzhe immediately responded happily: "Okay."

When they went out from the yellow building, Li Songhe and the pedestrians downstairs were still bustling.It's just that at some point, many women were mixed among those people.The folk customs of Dayuan are open, and it is not uncommon to invite singers and dancers to add to the fun at the banquet.

But standing at the door, Su Mu still felt concerned: "This is...too unrestrained."

Xia Houzhe seemed to chuckle, the sun was about to set, but the moon had already risen.

Su Mu looked up when he heard the laughter, and saw that his sharp-edged outline was softly illuminated, and he had a rare peaceful temperament.

"What are you laughing at?"

Xia Houzhe stretched out his hand towards him, and while Su Mu held his breath, he plucked off a red leaf.

"These are nothing."

Xia Houzhe stared at him, his blue eyes reminiscent of the deep sea, both the fear of being trapped in it and the desire to find out.

Su Mu avoided his eyes by looking at the peddlers passing by the roadside: "Haha, is it? I didn't expect the atmosphere of Yecheng to be so open. It seems that General Xiahou is also very experienced."

Xia Houzhe frowned: "I don't."

Su Mu turned his head, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said narrowly, "Okay, okay, you didn't."

Xia Houzhe was a little helpless, he didn't know how to explain that compared to the palace, the behavior of these people was nothing worth mentioning.

The Jinhua Gate is on the west side, close to the Sifang Pavilion.This special geographical location makes it have a rally every seven days.

There are mixed fish and dragons here, and all kinds of languages ​​play together.What Persian beauties, Byzantine murals, and many Arab merchants selling large gems and furs.

Seeing so many unique things, Su Mu's eyes lit up.He watched and bought all the way, and Xia Houzhe stood by his side. When he couldn't take the things he bought, Xia Houzhe didn't call for his attendants, but took everything naturally.

Su Mu bit a candy, and couldn't help but look at him carefully in the dense crowd.Xia Houzhe caught his gaze and cast a puzzled look.

"Tsk, there's nothing to be courteous about, it's either rape or robbery."

Su Mu's muttering while biting the candy was drowned in the boiling voice, Xia Houzhe lowered his head: "What?"

Su Mu approached his ear and said loudly: "I said, did we know each other before!"

Could it be that Xiao Su Mu had a relationship with this person?But there is no memory!

Hearing the question he asked, Xia Houzhe smiled: "How long ago, is it called the past? If you count it by now, then we did know each other before."

"You don't get rewarded for your merits, Brother Xiahou, you are ashamed of me for doing this."

Xia Houzhe was surprised: "How do you say that, if it wasn't for you, I would have died long ago."

On the street full of people, the two of them stayed for a while and received countless blank stares.Su Mu had no choice but to keep his words in his heart, and dragged him out of the crowd in some embarrassment.

After walking for a while in a place with few people, the two turned a corner and walked to another street.

Su Mu heaved a sigh of relief. He looked back at Xia Houzhe, but just as he was about to speak, he realized something was wrong: "Hey, Xiahou, where is your bodyguard? Where are my things?"

Xia Houzhe, who was empty-handed, looked at him innocently: "I gave them something, it must have been squeezed out." Then, he put his right hand behind his body and made a silent gesture.

Su Mu found it unbelievable. Those people wore knives and their faces were full of anger. They looked like well-trained soldiers.Why are all those people lost after just walking a street now?

This is by the river, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and there are already people lighting up river lanterns by the river.

Xia Houzhe took a few steps forward and brushed away the willow branches on the bank, looked at those river lanterns and asked with interest, "Why did they put these things?"

Su Mu, who was looking back unwillingly, hoping to see someone, was in a daze and didn't hear clearly: "Ah?"

Xia Houzhe pointed to the red river lantern that floated to his feet, and asked again: "Why did you put the river lantern?"

Su Mu heard it clearly this time, and he said in his heart: "Maybe, it's for making a wish."

"Making a wish?" Xia Houzhe pulled the willow branch: "Is it useful?"

Su Mu is speechless, has Xia Houzhe never seen this kind of thing to make children happy?

"Sincerity leads to spirit, and the river lamp is more of a sustenance."

Hearing his turn back, Xiahou thought thoughtfully: "It sounds like it's no different from those clay sculptures in the temple. It's just that ordinary people insist on pinning their thoughts on it."
