The sky is high in September, the last tide has passed, the autumn wind is refreshing, and the willows are yellow.

Since ancient times, there have been endless peddlers and bargains at the city gate. There are many shops and stalls on both sides of the streets in the city, and bargaining and shouting, and the hot Kaifeng is even more lively and noisy after the scorching heat. When he first arrived, the prosperity that was different from his hometown made Lu Changwen really dazzled. However, the provincial examination was about to be imminent, and most of them passed by quickly.

But at this time, Lu Changwen was full of upset when he heard the constant noise, and even looked at the eyes around him, as if he was full of endless mockery. He looked up at the plaque of Yuyue Inn, and the word Yuyue seemed extremely dazzling at this time. It was exactly this way three years ago, but it was still like this three years later! My father's words were still in his ears, and everything was inferior, but he was high in reading. Thinking of his father's sad face and those eyes full of hope, Lu Changwen suddenly took two steps back and his face turned pale. As soon as the waiter of the inn walked out of the store and said to Lu Changwen: "Mr. Lu, yesterday's food and accommodation money, look at it.

…” Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Changwen’s face change drastically. He hurriedly pulled Lu Changwen into the inn and shouted to the store, "Shopkeeper, this guy wants to eat vain, I’ll hold him." His voice was sharp and urgent, like a cat with a tail stepped on. Lu Changwen was dragged into the inn, his face turned red to his neck. It was not that he had no money, but that he suddenly put a hat for eating vain, or was pulled into the inn, and so many people stared at it. The innate self-esteem of a literati, suddenly encountering this embarrassment is almost equivalent to shame, and Lu Changwen’s face is blushed to the base of his neck.

When the shopkeeper saw it, he winked at the waiter. The waiter knew it and immediately smiled. He said, "Mr. Lu, please forgive me." He also helped Lu Chang with his collar, and then went to greet other guests.

The shopkeeper stared at Lu Changwen, touched the beard on his lips, and his fat face was full of smiles. In embarrassment, Lu Changwen hurriedly went to his arms to touch the silver, but was shocked. His arms were empty, so how could he have any money?

Seeing his face flushed and guilty, the smile on the shopkeeper's face disappeared without a trace, and he said sarcastically: "It seems that what the waiter said is not groundless!" The elongated tone lowered Lu Changwen's head. The inn guests were already curious. At this time, when they heard the shopkeeper's words, they looked at Lu Changwen one after another. For a moment, everyone whispered, and it was like a large mosquito and flies in Lu Changwen's ears, which made him even more upset.

"There is something in the bag, I'll get it." Lu Changwen urgently argued and was about to turn around, but he saw that the waiter had raised the bag before Lu Changwen at some point. Seeing the waiter holding the bag high, a nameless fire rushed up from his belly, and thanked him hatefully, snatched it over and searched it. Almost instantly, his face turned pale again, and even sweated on his forehead. But the anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed. He raised his hand and tugged heavily on the face, and said sternly: "Without permission, I'm a black shop?" The waiter's face changed,

He hurriedly looked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper glared at him, sneered, walked up the stairs and sang in front of everyone, saying, "Young Master Lu, don't be impatient. I heard that the provincial examination has passed, I don't know how much fame?" But he bit the word fame and fortune very seriously. Lu Chang's text was extremely angry, and suddenly he heard the shopkeeper ask, and the failure of the exam appeared again, and it was difficult to tell. The shopkeeper said, "I am not talented, I can recognize a few words. Today I will show my ugly words. I will give you a couplet. I hope the young master will give you advice. If you can get it, you can get rid of the matter." Regardless of whether Lu Changwen agreed or not, he immediately said loudly: "I have been fame and fortune for ten years."

"According to the court on a hundred battles on the battlefield" Suddenly, a voice in the room on the second floor was strong and powerful. The words were like thunder and sounded in everyone's ears. Lu Changwen couldn't help but blurt out: "It's so right." As soon as he finished speaking, he clasped his fists at the sound of coming and spoke in the words "Thank you for thanks".

I saw the door of the room upstairs open, and a man in blue shirt strides out, with thick eyebrows, red lips and straight nose, and a free hair.

After a few steps down the stairs, the follower behind him placed a ingot of silver on the counter. The man in the blue shirt turned around and said to the shopkeeper, "Young Master Lu's account is settled together, can you?" The shopkeeper rushed down the stairs and hurriedly collected the silver. He immediately turned anger and joy, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, waiter, give tea to the guest official. Oh no, good tea!" After giving up Lu Changwen, he led the man in the blue shirt to the table with a flattering smile and sat down, and wiped the table himself.

"Go down, get some specialties. I have something to talk to Mr. Lu, but I have something to do," and said that, and hugged the shopkeeper and made a gesture of inviting Lu Changwen, but a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes.

Lu Changwen suddenly rescued the man and his favor increased greatly. At this time, the man invited him, but he would not refuse. After holding his fists, he poured a cup of tea and said to the man in the blue shirt: "Take tea instead of wine, thank you brother." After that, he drank it all in one mouthful, but was choked by the water and coughed.

It caused everyone to laugh, and the man in the blue shirt raised his lips slightly, adding a little favor to Lu Changwen. The wine and food were served on the table, and the followers behind him poured wine bowls for the two of them. Before Lu Changwen could raise his glass, he tilted his neck and drank it all in one mouthful. The mug sighed, and he looked sad.

Lu Changwen was puzzled and said, "Brother, why is this?" His words were full of consideration, thinking that the man in the blue shirt was concerned about what happened just now, and when he thought about it, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

The sigh fell into Lu Changwen's ears, and countless sorrows aroused. He thought about studying hard for ten years and his parents' earnest feelings. He wanted to avenge his previous shame in the exam room to comfort his parents' grace for raising him, but he never thought about his fame and fortune, but was ridiculed by villains. As the saying goes, "There is a golden house in the book" brings him only with his heart full of loss. The kindness of his parents' grace is hard to repay, let alone shine on his family. It is said that strong wine pours deep sorrow. When he thought of this, he picked up the wine bowl again and drank it in one breath. The hot feeling passed through his throat, forcing his eyes to blur, his eyes flushed red, and he tried his best to endure it before he could hold back his tears.

Unfortunately, this scene was seen by the shopkeeper. He smiled and saw the man in blue shirt slap the wine bowl on the table. He had to hold it back, and the expression on his face became extremely exciting.

Lu Changwen ate the wine bowl on the table and was about to get up to argue with the shopkeeper, but he didn't want to trip up by the table legs. He fell into the mud. The pain and humiliation came together, and tears fell down his cheeks, but this time it was accompanied by Lu Changwen's crying.

The eyes of the inn were once again on Lu Changwen, but they were extremely surprised. Even the man in blue shirt was full of doubts. Lu Changwen was lying on the ground, with sadness between his eyebrows, sadness, and his lower lip trembled, and the tears gradually became thriving. At first, he just burst into tears silently, and the sound of the sound was gradually shaking, and there seemed to be great grievances in his chest. A woman was stained by this emotion and turned around and wiped the corners of her eyes secretly. She was a little impatient and disturbed. She couldn't help but say hate: "If you don't go to fight to kill the enemy, you will be so annoying that you cry." "What's wrong?" A man pulled the woman with red eyes to comfort her, some cursed, and sobbed in the inn. The voices and howlings, curses and sobbings in the inn, and quarreled.

Some people even swear and kicked open the door, swept open the crowd, and strode towards Lu Changwen. Judging from the situation, if they don’t beat Lu Changwen, they will probably not be able to relieve their anger.

Suddenly, the wine jar in the hands of the man in the blue shirt burst.

With a plop, the four of them fell to the ground from different directions, "It's dead!!!" shouted, and the restaurant was in chaos in an instant.

"The one who is good at moving - die!" The man in the blue shirt stood up and shouted, slapped it with one palm, bang! The wine table in front of him entered the ground three feet, and the restaurant was quiet. Lu Changwen's ears roared in his ears, and the sad voice stopped. There was a little fear in his eyes when he looked at the man in the blue shirt. If this palm hit him, how could he have the fate? He moved his body a few inches back, but he did not dare to move again, for fear of annoying this person.

"There are many people here, and they are not a place to stay for a long time," the follower said to the blue shirt man whispered.

The man in blue shirt did not answer, but just called the shopkeeper to get the wine, but heard the waiter reply with a trembling voice: "The shopkeeper... the shopkeeper, faint... he fainted."

"Then you go get it." The man in the blue shirt didn't speak loudly, but he was not angry and arrogant.

The waiter stumbled and brought two jars of good wine. The man in the blue shirt reached out to hold the wine. The waiter mistakenly thought he wanted to take his life. In fear, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, shouting for forgiveness.

The man in the blue shirt patted the mud seal, drank it by himself, and ignored the kowtow waiter.

Seeing that his forehead was bleeding, Lu Changwen felt unbearable, so he stepped forward and helped him up and said, "There is gold under the knees of a man, and he will not kill you." He said, pushing the waiter back into the crowd.

After hesitating for a moment, he clasped his fist at the man in blue and said, "Thank you today, brother, please..."

"Do you have a good reputation here?" Before he finished speaking, Lu Changwen was choked back by the man in blue.

The waiter, the shopkeeper, even the eyes of the people around him were interesting. It seemed that the blue-shirted man's words made them untie the knot in their hearts.

After about the time of teacup, Lu Changwen hurriedly held the scattered bags on the ground in his arms, walked out of the restaurant, turned around from time to time, but did not stop at the foot. Half a stick of incense had already walked to the south of the city, and the peddler carrying the load, the master blowing sugar man, the old man who made batter, the stall selling gouache, etc., but Lu Changwen lost the mood to watch it, and just entered the City God Temple. Seeing the Land Lord like a kind-hearted person, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The depressing atmosphere just now made Lu Changwen breathlessly and could only escape in a hurry.

"It's really bad luck to leak the house and rain." As he said that, Lu Changwen sat on the ground.

The violently undulating chest and pretended calm face made the waiter who suddenly came out from behind the statue quite satisfied.

However, this feeling of satisfaction only flashed away, and it would be worth the trip as long as you bring this boy named Lu back.

"Mr. Lu, my footwork is so fast, but I'll ask you to move. My master will invite you." After saying that, he bowed a little and made a gesture to the door. His eyes looked like he was trying to eat Lu Changwen, and he was about to take action if he had a disagreement.

"Who is your master? Why are you treating me?" Lu Changwen saw that he looked bad and had a desire to retreat. Seeing him go further, he ran out of the door.

Just one step away from the temple gate, I suddenly felt a wind coming from the back of my head, and then my vest was hurting severely and fell to the ground before I could turn around.

The waiter clapped his hands, stepped forward and picked up Lu Changwen and wanted to go back to report his life.

But I saw a figure at some point at the entrance of the temple. He was sturdy and wearing a vegetarian shirt, blocking his way.
