July is hot, summer goes and autumn comes.

    Today is the first day of July, but the weather is as hot as ever.

    Chu yunpan is listening to the opera in the elegant seat on the second floor of HUAIFANG. On the stage in the lobby, miss Ruolan is wearing a bright red wedding dress, shaking her sleeves and singing "crying flowers and hibiscus" sadly.

    But today''s dramatists don''t pay much attention to the play. First, no matter how good the play is, it''s a little boring to hear too much. Second, there was a big joke in the capital yesterday, that is, the daughter of Zhang Jia was removed from the waiting list of crown princess.

    It was nothing at all, but combined with the big play of the groom eloping with his sister-in-law a few months ago, it made everyone feel happy and lamented that it was called retribution.

    Chu yunpan''s lips curled as he listened to the following actors discuss Zhang Manman. This is expected. The prince is greedy for the beauty of the white girl, and Zhang Manman can only give way to Xian.

    "Yu Yang, call the waiter." Chu yunpan said.

    Yu Yang promised and turned to leave. After a while, the waiter came in: "Sir, what can I do for you?"

    "It''s been singing for months. Why hasn''t the next episode yet?" Chu yunpan road.

    The waiter''s face was stiff and embarrassed: "fast, fast. We are also urging. The person who wrote the play hasn''t written it yet. "

    Chu yunpan gave a sound and looked at the elegant seat opposite. Because it was far away, he just looked like a faint white figure.

    Chu yunpan remembered listening to the opera with ye Tangcai in Deming class last time. Ye Tangcai was eating duck cakes. She bit off the yellow duck cakes one by one. Oh, it''s so beautiful.

    "Do you have duck cake?" Chu yunpan said.

    "Duck cake? Oh, we don''t have it here. Sir, do you want to buy it back to coax the children? " Said the waiter.

    Coax children? He wants to buy it back to coax his daughter-in-law... Chu yunpan looks down at this. He seems to be too close to her. He''d better keep a distance!

    "My guest, if you want, you can buy small ones from the pastry shop in front." The waiter said politely.

    "No." Then he stood up and said, "it''s getting late. Let''s go."

    The waiter hurriedly sent the master and servant downstairs.

    The three got on their horses and wanted to go north of the city. When they passed the bookstore, they stopped.

    "The third master wants to buy pen and ink?" Yu Han said that he remembered that there were many pen and ink at home. There are several pieces of Jixi pine smoke sent by his Highness the king of Liang.

    "Go down and buy something." Chu yunpan then turned over and dismounted and gave the stiff rope to Yu Yang.

    Yu Han followed Chu yunpan into the bookstore, thinking that Chu yunpan would choose pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Unexpectedly, he went to the rows of four books and five classics, and finally came out with many books.

    Yu Han was surprised when he saw it. He saw all the notes of the four books and five classics.

    "Third Master... Do you want to take an examination?" Yu Han''s face was stiff and he couldn''t believe it.

    Chu yunpanjun blushed: "suddenly... I want to take the exam again. I don''t have many skills."

    Yu Han looked like a ghost. He remembered that Liang Wang asked the third master to take the scientific examination more than once, but the third master was unwilling to live or die. It was ridiculous to say that Chu jiaerlang went to the scientific examination. He also said that he would only go to the battlefield in the future, not to the examination field.

    Chu Yun climbed out of the bookstore and got on his horse.

    "Hey, what good things did you buy?" Yu Yang said with a smile.

    No, Chu yunpan took a horse''s belly and left.

    "Third Master, wait for me!" Yu Yang is about to mount.

    Yu Han pulled him: "the third master bought a pile of four books and five classics."

    "What? The third master wants scientific examination? Is your brain caught in the door? " Yu Yang looked incredulous.

    "Anyway, it seems to be so decided."

    "But it''s different from the way we''re going now?" Yu Yang frowned.

    Now they are dormant and secretly working for Liang Wang. Liang Wang said that when the third master was 18 years old, he went out of Beijing to the northwest and joined the command of King Kang.

    He climbed up step by step in anonymity. When he became famous, he was the Chu family Erlang who had once been a member of the family. Whenever there was a vacancy in the northwest or Yingcheng, King Kang would recommend him for instructions, and the emperor would give Chu yunpan the power of war.

    Of course, the imagination is beautiful, and the reality is cruel. Because everything has to be famous to achieve.

    But the battlefield is not an examination field. If you fail, you can do it again. Failure on the battlefield is death!

    At that time, King Liang asked Chu yunpan whether he wanted to be an official or go to the battlefield?

    The young man was determined and said without hesitation that he would go to the battlefield and fight for fame!

    Chu yunpan flew away on his horse and glanced down at the handful of books in front of him.

    In February next year, he will be eighteen. He made an appointment with Liang Wang to go to the northwest at this time, but now, he''d better delay first.

    Once he goes, he may die outside. Like his uncles, he will bring back cold bodies.

    He and she are not real husband and wife. If he dies outside, she can remarry. But others don''t know what''s going on between them. It''s inevitable that someone will ridicule the man she married for overstating his strength.

    At least before that, he won fame, which not only made her beautiful, but also made this marriage not a joke.

    "Third Master! Third master, wait for us! "

    There were bursts of hoofs behind him, but Yu Yang and Yu Han caught up.

    Several people had entered Changsheng street. Chu yunpan also pulled his horse and let the horse slow down and walk slowly.

    "Third Master, do you really want to take an examination?" Yu Yang gasped and said.

    "Yes." After walking through the main gate of Dingguo Bo''s house, Chu yunpan raised his head and saw that the lintel of the Chu family''s gate was broken and the wall was gray. The vermilion paint gate is no longer bright red, the animal head tin ring is dark, and several rows of floating retting nails have fallen off.

    Chu Yun hung his head and let the horse take a turn towards the west corner gate.

    Far away, Xiaozong was squatting outside the west corner door, talking to a girl.

    The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a delicate yellow Bijia, a double bun on her head, and a red gold plum blossom tassel hairpin on one side. She was a typical servant girl, but she had a great style all over her body.

    The girl didn''t know what to say to Xiao Zong, then turned around and walked this way. When passing Chu yunpan, I couldn''t help looking up at Chu yunpan and then hanging my head.

    Chu yunpan''s gorgeous eyebrows and eyes are lightly stained with cold frost. This girl, he knows, is the confidant of the crown princess. Her name is Qin se!

    Because of the hostile relationship, almost everyone in the crown prince''s family has a seal of Chu yunpan. Chu yunpan is naturally suspicious and vigilant to see the confidant of the Crown Princess appear here.

    In front of the west corner gate, Chu yunpan turned over and dismounted.

    "Third Master, you''re back!" Xiao Zong said with a smile. He sat on the bench, crossed his legs and kept shaking“ Today, I went to the theater to hold which flower girl? "

    "Xiao Zong, who was that girl just now? It''s so beautiful. It won''t be your face outside, will it? " Yu Yang hehe smiled.

    Although he often went out with Chu yunpan, he didn''t have Chu yunpan''s memory, so he didn''t know that it was the prince''s family just now.

    "If I had such a beautiful lover, I would die here." Xiao Zong said, "this is to send the post."

    "To whom?" Chu yunpan''s handsome face sank and he had guessed it.

    "To grandma three!" Xiao Zong said, "last time it seemed that she was from the third grandmother''s family, but today, when she asked, she said no, and she didn''t say which house it was from. Last time, I sent it once. This is the second time! But the third grandma went out. I asked her to give me the post and transfer it to the third grandma when she came back. But she didn''t want to live or die. She said she would deliver it herself. "

    "When was the last time?" Chu yunpan said coldly.

    "This..." Xiao Zong thought for a while before he said, "it''s before the old lady''s birthday in the Marquis of Jing''an. Third master... "

    Chu yunpan threw off the reins and quickly stepped into the door.

    Yu Yang hurriedly took Chu yunpan''s horse and followed him: "third master."

    Chu yunpan ignored them, walked quickly all the way, and finally came to qiongmingxuan. But the door of qiongmingxuan was tight. Obviously, the master and servant went out together.

    Chu Yun climbed like frost and walked back.

    Yu Yang and Yu Han went to LAN Zhu''s house and saw him quickly come forward: "three..."

    Chu yunpan crossed him and went to the west corner gate.

    "Third Master, where are you going?" Yu Yang and Yu Han quickly catch up with him.

    "The servant girl just now is the confidant of the crown princess." Chu yunpan said coldly.

    "What?" Yu Yang exclaimed and his hair stood up. "How did the servant girl of the Crown Princess... Get to our broken place? Where did you know that the third master worked for the Lord, so you came to spy on something? "

    "Xiao Zong just said that she came to look for grandma three." Yu Han''s face sank.

    "Third grandma? How did the third grandma get involved with the prince? " Thinking of this, Yu Yang''s face was livid. "She betrayed the third master and ran to the prince. We shouldn''t believe her!"

    The prince is so powerful that another person will depend on him.

    Several people have reached the horse shed at the west corner gate. Yu Yang has just tied the horse, and now he has to solve it again.

    "Third Master, let''s go now..." Yu Chao watched Chu yunpan carefully.

    "Go find Liang Wang." Chu yunpan untied the horse and turned over.

    "Yes, yes, let''s plead guilty and sue her." Yu Yang also got on the horse in a hurry.

    Several people rode out of the door. Xiaozong watched them go out again and was stunned: "it''s already noon. Why doesn''t the third master eat at home?"

    "What are you doing?" Yu Yang looked back and stared at him: "Ruolan girl in HUAIFANG building has another new play. Can''t we go to see it?"

    Xiao Zong was so angry that he took a smoke from the corner of his mouth: "OK."

    ……

    Liang Wangfu——

    At 2:15 p.m., it was the lunch time of King Liang''s house. Pingting small building was the main house and courtyard of King Liang''s house.

    A group of servant girls are standing in the dining room. Nanmu inlaid with mother of Pearl cloud legs and fine teeth are filled with various dishes. There are only two people near the table, one is Liang Wang and the other is a girl in pink.

    In the dining room, there was no sound except the sound of spoons touching dishes. A meal was depressing and dull.

    "Cough..." the girl in pink suddenly coughed.

    Liang Wang put down his chopsticks and looked at her coldly.

    The girl was staring at him, so she had to say timidly, "the fishbone is stuck..."

    "You can get stuck after a meal. Where''s your brain?" Liang Wang sneered and his eyes were full of disgust.

    The girl blinked her eyes, hung her head and dared not make a sound.

    "Lord." Yanxi came over and said something in his ear.

    Liang Wang brushed his clothes up, turned and walked out quickly.

    The girl looked at the direction where his figure disappeared, which was a sigh of relief. Can''t he not go home for dinner once in a while? When we eat with him, we can''t eat more dishes. We don''t dare to pick more rice. We have to look at him even when we drink soup.

    Her throat was so sore that she couldn''t eat any more. He put down his chopsticks, stood up, crossed the threshold with gorgeous and complicated clothes and walked out.

    The row of servant girls behind him picked up the dishes and chopsticks without paying attention to her.

    Liang Wangxi is extravagant. His study is spacious and gorgeous. On the left, there are two big bookshelves against the wall. The bookshelves are full of famous books, but those books are very new. Obviously, the owner doesn''t turn them often. On the right is the Bogu shelf, which is filled with precious porcelain and plate scenery.

    In the middle of the room is a large black lacquer sandalwood dragon, on which there are many famous pens and filled with pen holders

    When King Liang returned to his study, he saw Chu yunpan standing there as cold as ice.

    The king of Liang looked at him, went to the sandalwood desk and sat down: "Chu San, you''re coming."

    "Lord..." Yu Yang stood behind Chu yunpan and thought of Ye Tangcai. His face was blue and white. He was very guilty. He didn''t know how to plead guilty.

    Chu yunpan said coldly, "the prince asked her to go to the prince''s house?"

    Yu Yang was surprised. Did the Lord ask her to go? Yu Han had already guessed how the king of Liang could make ye Tangcai not clear with the prince''s house under his eyelids.

    "Did she tell you?" Liang Wang said lukewarm.

    "I met the confidant of the Crown Princess and sent her a post."

    "Yes." Liang Wang answered calmly. Chu yunpan would know about it sooner or later, and he didn''t intend to hide it from him, but he told Chu yunpan, or Chu yunpan found that it was different from ye Tangcai''s initiative.

    Ye Tangcai told Chu yunpan that it was ok, but if she said it with complaint or with the intention of picking, she couldn''t stay.

    "Your Highness knows who the crown prince is. If you let her go, you will undoubtedly send sheep into the mouth of a tiger." Chu yunpan tried to suppress his anger.

    The king of Liang looked at him faintly: "didn''t we say that before? In order to climb up, you can sacrifice everything and make use of everything! "

    Chu yunpan was stunned. Indeed, this is what he said, and he has come all the way. But only she

    "The king knows that even if he is really willing to sacrifice everything and make use of everything, he needs his own things." Then the king pulled out a jasper board finger in his hand, "just like this board, now the king said that in order to make the beauty smile, the king was willing to drop it. But if you want to make a beauty laugh and drop it, you can''t. Ye Tangcai is like this jade finger. But she is not your real wife, let alone your thing! "

    Chu yunpan was silent. She was really not his thing.

    King Liang continued, "you think I use her, but what about her? Chu San, over the years, the king has been using you to work for the king, and you are willing. The king seeks the throne. You want to be successful. And she, how do you know she doesn''t want to? If you don''t believe it, ask her yourself. Yanxi, go and invite Miss Ye over. "
