Chapter 502: Picking Sesame Seeds and Throwing Watermelons

"Nine paintings are ancient?"

Qiu Yan's eyes flashed, and he laughed: "Shopkeeper, you are really well-informed, Qiu's nine paintings have not been born for a long time, and after coming to Xingjing, I have never heard anyone mention it, I didn't expect you to know it as a shopkeeper." ”

Qiu Yan's words seem to mean something, from the time he came to Xingjing and reunited with Luo Jiayun and others, he knew that his reputation had spread here, but most of them said that he defeated the talents of Jiangnan, won the attention of Confucianism, or passed on in the name of calligraphy attainments, but did not mention much about his painting skills.

This is also when Qiu Yan left the Eastern Capital, only to paint nine paintings, expounding the ancients, and also collected by several academies, not lightly spread outside, not many people know about it.

But such news was called out by the shopkeeper of an inn in Xingjing City that seemed to be simple and located on the edge, and then counting the strange things hidden in this inn, Qiu Yan couldn't guess the reason.

"Eh......" The shopkeeper knew that he was excited for a while, lost his sense of proportion, and said something that should not be said, but he was not flustered, "This, the little old man has several friends in the east, and the son's actions in the eastern capital are now circulating all over the city, and he mentioned it in the letter, so I can know." ”

"So that's what happened. Qiu Yan nodded, didn't delve into it, just said, "However, since the rooms in your store have been released, Qiu has no choice but to go to another house to take a look." ”

"No, no," the shopkeeper heard this, his eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly said: "Childe is a great talent, he can stay in my library inn, let the small shop shine, don't hide it, our shop, there is still a room, it is kept by the owner for himself, and no one has moved in for a long time." Childe just went to live. ”

Qiu Yan shook his head: "That's it, it's not good to break the rules, and besides, Qiu still has a few friends, and there is no place to arrange it." As he spoke, he pointed to Hu Qi and the others standing by the door, the second elder of the Golden Crow was still following at this time, and he did not leave, there were four people at once, and standing by the door made people feel crowded.

The shopkeeper frowned slightly when he heard this, and continued: "That's so. There were just two guests who were going to check out, and I was able to let them go early. As he said this, he was thinking in his heart which two people he was going to blast out.

"Needless to say, since there was no vacant room just now, Qiu Mou will not live there anymore, and you don't have to be condescending, it is plain to make people look down!" Qiu Yan still shook his head, deliberately pretending not to eat the food. It seemed that the scholar's arrogance exploded, and after finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to the shopkeeper, and turned to talk to Zhou Guan, Luo Jiayun and others.

"These scholars. I like to be a little stupid when I have nothing to do, but now it's troublesome, I thought that I brought in Wen Zhizhen, a talent, but I didn't expect to lose Qiu Yan, a scholar. When Qiu Yan was in the Eastern Capital, he already had a gas phase and listened to the spy report. He communicated with people in the woods and handed down a lot of truths, and the nine paintings depicted the ancients, which shows that the knowledge is profound, and the literary talent must be extraordinary.

Although he felt remorse and regret in his heart, looking at the scene in front of him, the shopkeeper also knew that it was difficult for Qiu Yan to hand over the documents as he wished for the time being.

"Fortunately, Qiu Yan has some friendship with these scholars, and he can start from this aspect and approach step by step, if he can get the blessing of this person's literary luck, it will definitely be more convenient for the master to succeed!"

He was thinking about it here, but on the other side, Qiu Yan and the others slowly walked out of the inn, because the voices of several people were not loud, and the others in the lobby did not notice.

"Brother Qiu, I didn't expect things to come out like this. Luo Jiayun had some regrets.

Zhou Guan sneered: "The shopkeeper of this inn has always watched people through the cracks of the door, and when you and I checked in that day, didn't he also look sarcastic?

Qiu Yan said: "The two of you don't have to worry, when Qiu came, he also saw a few inns on the road, not far from here, and after settling down, he can naturally come over often to discuss the imperial examination with a few confirmed scholars." ”

Luo Jiayun shook his head: "Having said that, I heard that those few are expensive, and the money spent is not a few, which is really a waste." ”

Zhou Guan listened, and just said: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say these words, fortunately, the period of the examination is approaching, and when the examiner is selected in the past two days, it will soon start, do the math, Brother Qiu actually doesn't have to live for long, and when he is named on the gold list, will he still care about the small travel money?"

"Yes, with Brother Qiu's knowledge, a jinshi can't run. Cao Hanqi also said on the side.

What he said was not flattery, you must know that Qiu Yan is the Xie Yuan of Jiannan Dao, since the founding of Da Rui, there have been few Xie Yuan in the past dynasties who will try to fail the list, and almost all of them can get the status of a Jinshi.

"In that case, then Brother Qiu should go find an inn first," Luo Jiayun also knew that it was inconvenient to say more, "By the way, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, this Xingjing Lantern Festival and the Dongdu Lantern Festival are called in the world, and they are both unique, Brother Qiu has any plans to take a look tomorrow night?"

"Shangyuan Festival?"

Qiu Yan was a little surprised when he heard this, for a while, he was either concentrating on cultivation and studying, or he was in a hurry, and he even missed the New Year, and naturally forgot about the Shangyuan Festival.

Thinking about it like this, Qiu Yan shook his head: "I will try soon, how can I have the heart to go to see the lantern festival, if I have to be on the gold list, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to enjoy the lanterns in the future?"

"I'll just say that Brother Qiu won't go to see any lantern festivals," Zhou Guan laughed, first spoke to Luo Jiayun, and then turned his head to Qiu Yan and squeezed his eyes, "Brother Qiu, this lantern festival is very lively, since ancient times, it is the season when talented and beautiful women meet, and there are many literary meetings, lantern riddles, and hundreds of flowers, which coincide with the gathering of children from the west, I don't know how many people will become famous through this, you are really calm, don't go to see, don't listen?"

Qiu Yan smiled and didn't say anything, Zhou Guan didn't ask, the two sides said a few words, and Qiu Yan left with Hu Qi and others.

"The inn is weird, but this matter has to be considered in the long run, and the bottom of the other party has not yet been figured out, so it is not good to act rashly, otherwise you will startle the snake. ”

Walking on the road, Qiu Yan was still thinking about it, he wanted Luo Jiayun and Zhou Guan to also check out of the inn, but it was difficult to explain, and second, it might not be useful, but it might alarm the black hand behind the inn.

Luo and Zhou Erren's luck, why they coincided with them, what methods they used to connect, and what the other party's purpose was, these are not clear, even if the two are taken away, they may not be able to stop it.

Qiu Yan acted before, it seemed that everything went smoothly, he could always make his wishes come true, and afterwards he showed a sense of Izumo lightness, but it was not all due to luck, but on the premise of having a certain strength, every time he faced the opponent, he tried to collect information and intelligence, and then analyzed, weighed the pros and cons, and formulated plans and plans before he started.

After being prepared, what comes out of the table is that every time you do it, you have a bamboo in your chest, and after you do it, you can also deal with it calmly, and your back hand is continuous.

If someone blindly relies on his strength to conquer others, and can still do everything smoothly, then he can indeed be called the dragon among people and proud of the world.

One is to plan and move, the other is smooth sailing, the result seems to be the same, but the process is the opposite, if someone only sees the scenery of Qiu Yan along the way, but ignores the life that has been walking on thin ice, it is too biased.

"The black hand behind the inn, if what you want is related to the examinee and the lifter, then I revealed my identity this time, and the other party failed to persuade me to stay in the book inn, in the next few days, I will definitely use the relationship between Brother Luo and Brother Zhou to test me, and even make a move. ”

Thinking like this, Qiu Yan's thoughts slowly became clearer.

"The other party doesn't know, I have seen through the details, in this way, the enemy is clear and I am dark, we must try to take advantage of this situation, at least we must figure out what its purpose is, why it is necessary to lay out the ...... in the capital"

Thinking like this, a few people had already come to the outside of an inn, went in and asked, knowing that there were still a few rooms, and Qiu Yan didn't have to send the second elder of the golden crow to the Taoist temple.

..................

On the other side, after Qiu Yan left, Luo Jiayun and the others didn't plan to talk to the shopkeeper more, and went upstairs separately, revealing a trace of contempt.

"It's all self-esteemed things. The shopkeeper could also see it, sneered, beckoned a young man over, and was about to give an order, but two tall and strong guards entered the lobby, came straight over, and asked in a deep voice: "My young lady is here, please come out quickly." ”

When the words fell, the identity was revealed, and it was the Xufu Nursing Hospital.

The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, so he sent Xiao Er next to him up, and called Xu Ran down in a short time.

The graceful woman looked a little unhappy, and glanced at the two nurses: "But Daddy called you here?"

The two nurses saluted and said, "Miss Huiyu, it is true that the second master asked me to wait, but the reason is that there is your deceased who came to visit." ”

"What old man?" Xu Ran was slightly puzzled.

"It's Miss Ji who came to the house a year ago, and I visited again, I miss you. ”

"Sister Ji is here?" Xu Ran looked happy, then went upstairs to explain a few words, and then left with the two, but when he left, he looked back upstairs with some anxiety.

"That's it, Sister Ji is resourceful, it's better to let her give me ideas to deal with Pang Qianru!"

The thought fell, and he walked out of the inn and was confronted by a woman, dressed in a tight-fitting military uniform, but the clothes had been restructured to match the women's attire.

"Huh?" Xu Ran sighed lightly, her eyes fell on the face of the woman opposite, and she noticed the Danfeng eyes.

"Song Qian, why are you, why are you also coming to this inn?" Xu Ran's face immediately showed a look of vigilance.

The woman named Song Qian smiled slightly: "Sister Xu, don't get me wrong, I don't have any thoughts about that Wen Zhizhen." (To be continued......)
