Jingzhe.

The lightning is like a python, crushing the gloomy sea of ​​clouds and turning the earth into a river.

In the midst of the thunder and rain, a black oil-paper umbrella floated across the water gate of Linhefang, the capital city along with the black-sailed boat.

Along the river, the mist and rain spread across the city to stir up three thousand willows.

Zuo Lingquan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the scattered buildings in the capital, and felt that the scenery in front of him was very similar to the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in my memory.

After seventeen years of coming to this world, my past memories have long been blurred, but Zuo Lingquan can confirm that this is not the world where only scholars are romantic.

This is Donghua City, the capital of the Great Dan Dynasty.

Seventeen years ago, Zuo Lingquan was born in Qinghe County, the Dadan Dynasty. He was the legitimate son of the local landlord Zuo family. He had a wealth of wealth and a thousand hectares of fertile land. He was very lucky to have a good birth.

When he first came here, Zuo Lingquan thought that he could be a stupid son of a landlord in this life, and he could be indulged in food and clothing. However, when he was toddler, he found that the world was a bit unique.

The people here are very powerful, and the best can fly and hide, move mountains and seas; animals are also good, and foxes repay their kindness and monsters transform into shapes are widely circulated.

Zuo Lingquan is so old that although he has never seen these strange people and strange things, he can still see the mystery and vastness of this world from the words and phrases of ancient books.

After being a human being for two lifetimes, Zuo Lingquan never wanted to soar up to 90,000 miles and go to the top of the mountain to see what the world is like.

Unfortunately, even though he had a wealth of wealth, he became an ordinary person in this unusual world because of his natural obstruction of meridians.

This time I entered Beijing, I was named to run for the princess of the current dynasty because of my outstanding appearance.

When you are born, you will have no worries in this life, but the great way is ahead but there is no way to enter.

Zuo Lingquan didn't know whether he was lucky or unfortunate.

In a moment of thought, the black-sailed boat docked by the street.

Zuo Lingquan retracted his thoughts, flicked his fingers, threw a ingot of silver to the ship, and stepped onto the bluestone street in Linhefang.

The shipman caught the silver ingot and was flattered:

"Young Master, I've given too much."

"Reward you."

Zuo Lingquan waved his hand casually and walked straight into the rain curtain.

The shipmaster held the silver ingot, his eyes full of gratitude, and was about to push the black-sailed boat away from the river bank, when he suddenly heard the sound of "splashing" water splashing sounds on the shore, and then the woman's screams.

Looking up, I saw a little woman with a beaded hairpin and cloth skirt standing at the door of the tavern by the street, holding a wooden basin in her hand, and her eyes were full of fear.

The street was filled with mist, and Zuo Lingquan, who had just walked out for a few steps, stood in the mist.

The ship's eyes were stunned. Unexpectedly, this young man was only three steps away. He was afraid that the two sides would have a conflict, so he quickly smoothed out:

"Shopkeeper Tang, as soon as the man arrived in the capital, you poured him all over his bath water. Look at him, handsome and wanted to say hello, but you didn't beat him like that."

As soon as this said, the guests in the tea shop laughed.

Zuo Lingquan raised his umbrella to cover his head and looked at the wine shop in a blink of an eye.

There are yellow wine banners hanging in the wine shop, with only the word "soup" written on it.

The little woman holding a wooden basin stood under the eaves, with her beaded hairpin and cloth skirt, simple and clean, her clothes were bulging, and her face was like white tofu, and her eyes widened due to fear, which added a bit of distinctive charm.

However, the little woman seemed quite fierce. When she heard the boatman's joke, she immediately glared back:

"What nonsense? Didn't see me? I was careless?"

After saying that, the little woman looked at Zuo Lingquan with apologetic in her eyes:

"Young Master, I'm really sorry. The rain is so heavy, I thought there was no one on the street. This is boiling water for boiling wine, not bathing water."

boiling water?

It's better to take a bath water.

Zuo Lingquan looked at the white mist on the ground and wanted to scold him a few words, but he saw that the other party was a woman. Thinking about it, he said:

"Please pay attention next time. If you splash an ordinary woman and a child, you will be disfigured on the spot."

"What the young master taught is the lesson."

The little woman nodded awkwardly and looked up, but saw the young man in front of her, wearing a tea-green robe, a Pisces pants hanging on her waist, her long hair was tied with a black hairband, her sword eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, a straight and tough face, and a green-skinned sword hanging on her waist. She looked handsome and harmed the country and the people.

Only just now did I remove the umbrella to cover the splashed water, which caused a lot of raindrops to be stained on my cheeks and brocade robe.

The little woman blinked and turned such a handsome young man into a chicken. She felt embarrassed and said again:

"Young master wouldn't come to the store, so I'll find a towel to wipe you?"

Zuo Lingquan was exhausted and had not had lunch yet. Seeing that the wine in the shop was fragrant, he did not refuse. He put away the umbrella under the eaves and walked into the Tang family's wine shop.

The wine shop is not big, with four small wine tables, and a wine tank and a stove with warm wine are placed in the corner.

At the wine table inside, two guests were already sitting, wearing black fish scale armor and sabres beside them, one old and one young, looking like a policeman in Linhefang.

Zuo Lingquan entered the winery and sat down at the wine table by the window. The little woman hurried into the backyard to look for towels.

The old detective at the next table said:

"You have to change your temper in the future. Today, thanks to the young man's good temper, otherwise you will be in vain if you pay for this robe from Yun Zhongjin."

The little woman named Tang Jingyan walked out with a white towel and said unhappy:

"The young man is gentle and elegant, well-educated, and he is a scholar who is reasonable at first glance. Do you think he is like you, who is a mortal, and he likes to take advantage of him? Yes, the young man?"

Zuo Lingquan responded politely to this flattery:

"Auntie has gone too far."

Aunt?

Tang Jingwen's bright smile froze, and she stammered her lips. She obviously wanted to curse a few words, but in the end she held back and said with a little dissatisfaction:

"Young master, I'm not married yet, so how can my aunt shout? My name is Tang Jingyun, you can just call Sister Tang. If you don't want to call Sister, you can call Xiaoyun."

Zuo Lingquan was a little surprised. Looking at the little woman in front of him, she seemed to be able to drip water. She was definitely not a small world in this world.

However, Zuo Lingquan didn't ask too much about the woman's family affairs and changed his mouth:

"Boss, what's the food you have?"

Tang Jingyan smiled and quickly introduced the winery to the wine shop.

Seeing that nothing happened, the old detective drank all the wine in his glass, scattered five big money and put it on the table, and took the detective out.

Seeing this, Tang Jingyan turned around and said:

"Lao Zhang, don't drink it?"

The old detective walked out of the restaurant with the yellowed old knife with his scabbard and waved his hand:

"Forget it, I've been drinking wine for more than ten years with you, let alone your butt, and my hands have never been touched. The business is not kind."

When Tang Jingyan heard this muttering, she was embarrassed and cursed on the spot:

"Bah—I'm not a kiln here. I want to touch you to the alley ahead, but I'm afraid you'll be older..."

Speaking of this, when he found Zuo Lingquan sitting in front of him, Tang Jingyan quickly put away his fierce words and smiled shyly:

"Old Zhang is a policeman in Linhefang. He is a good man and has great skills. He just has a big mouth. Don't mind if he has a big mouth."

Zuo Lingquan thought it was quite interesting, so he didn't mind it.

After a while, Tang Jingyan took a pot of wine, two plates of side dishes, and placed it on the table.

As soon as Zuo Lingquan picked up the chopsticks, another boat docked at the pier outside the wine shop.

This time we came to the big ship, and there were many maids and servants on the deck.

As the pedal was lowered, more than a dozen young men in their prime came down from above, all wearing luxurious clothes, with a few of them phoenix-eyed and beautiful eyebrows, and boys and girls, attracting many gazes.

There were no other guests in the restaurant. Tang Jingwen stood at the door watching the fun. After discovering these foreign young men, he spoke:

"The ships from the four southern counties, these young men are here to compete for the eldest princess hydrangea, right?"

The four southern counties are the rich granaries of the Great Dan Dynasty. Zuo Lingquan comes from Qinghe County, one of the four counties. He should have taken this official boat to enter the capital. He glanced out of the window and nodded:

"Yes, I should have arrived a few days ago. The river surface has been surging with heavy rains for several days, which has been delayed for a few days."

"oh?"

Seeing Zuo Lingquan understands this way, Tang Jingyan thought about it, and turned around and sat at the wine table next to her, holding her chin with her hands, asking curiously:

"The day after tomorrow, the eldest princess chose the son-in-law. The princes of the right age from all over the country were called to the capital. I see that the prince has a good temperament. Could it be that he is also here?"

Zuo Lingquan was ordered by his elders, and it was indeed for this matter.

But he has a wealth of wealth. Even if he can't travel thousands of miles in his life, he will be easy to indulge in the wine pool and meat forest. How could he be interested in the prince-consort who cannot take concubines?

Zuo Lingquan hesitated for a while before responding ambiguously:

"I came here alone, not even a follower, as if I was fighting for the prince consort?"

Tang Jingyan looked at Zuo Lingquan carefully, but didn't know if it was a compliment:

"The princess is not lucky. If the young master arrives the day after tomorrow, there will be no matter what people outside. The princess will definitely choose you."
