There is no peace in the palace, and there is also an undercurrent outside the city.

In the east of the city, in a teahouse called Chunyuxuan, a storyteller sat on the stage and was telling the latest plot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in a colorful manner, and more than 100 people below listened to it fascinated.

In the current capital, there may still be people who don't know who Shuntianfu Yin is, but there are few people who don't know who Guo Jing is, and there is already a wave of martial arts.

The storyteller is a little old man with a mouth that can speak well, and he is nicknamed "Tiezui Li".

Although he can speak well, he is an unpopular storyteller, and he has always set a table outside the teahouse to tell some stories of the Three Kingdoms to earn a small amount of money.

With the birth of "Suncheon Daily", he soon discovered that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was completely different from the past. Compared with the previous simple and rough fighting seasons, which seem to have a single story line, here is a new martial arts world.

From the moment he read the first text, he was deeply addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself, and became a loyal fan of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the most anticipated thing every day was to spend four cents to buy a copy of "Suncheon Daily".

It's just that he still has to live, and after finding that his previous words were boring, he talked about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" with the attitude of trying it out, and who knew that it was an instant hit.

At that moment, not only did the shopkeeper of the teahouse invite him in to tell the story, but he also captured a group of loyal listeners.

These listeners are no longer limited to "illiterate", there are many rich people who like to listen to books, there are also a few old men who are present, and even a few eunuchs in the palace have come.

Gradually, the sound of the water became more and more noisy, and the two of them bypassed a flower path, only to see Qiao pine cultivating bamboo, verdant and covering the sky, with strange mountains and mountains, and the silence lingered deeply. Huang Rong secretly appreciated it, thinking that although the strangeness of the layout here was not as good as that of Peach Blossom Island, the beauty of the flowers and trees was quite excessive. ”

Tiezui Li has been depressed for half his life, and at this time, watching a large number of characters with heads and faces come to cheer, he is also in the best state, striving to make his name louder.

The audience listened to his muffled voice, and seemed to be engrossed in looking at the iron-mouthed Li on the stage, a rich man who was eating meat buns and was unaware of the fact that the sweat of the meat fell on his clothes, and was fascinated by the depicted environment.

In this quiet teahouse, a young scholar enters from outside, but is destined not to attract the attention of others. In this teahouse, where there are several people sitting, who cares about a scholar.

When the scholar came in, he first glanced at the hall, and then walked towards the private seat over there. Led by a servant who had been waiting for a long time, he went directly to one of the seats.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant is a shrewd man, but he has set up several private seats and separated them with screens. There are many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and they don't bother to get together with a bunch of ordinary people.

After walking a few feet, I saw a piece of silver waterfall pouring down from the side of the mountain, pouring into a large pond, and at the bottom of the pond thought that there was another drainage channel, but the pond water was not overflowing. There are countless red lotuses in the pond, and in front of the pond is a forest forest hall, and the three words "Cui Han Hall" are written on the forehead. ”

Tiezui Li painted a vivid depiction on the stage, focusing everyone's attention on him, and no one knew that the dignified Shuncheon Mansion Yin had just passed by them.

Lin Haoran entered the elegant seat, but saw a eunuch in brocade sitting at the table drinking tea, looking intently at the iron-mouthed Li on the stage, his eyes showing an upward look.

He did not alarm the other party, but sat down directly next to him, and at the same time secretly sighed: the more people who meet their material needs, the stronger their spiritual needs.

Huang Rong walked to the front of the hall, only to see that the steps under the corridor were full of jasmine, frangipani, musk vine, hibiscus, cinnamon, red banana, □ po, all of which were fragrant flowers blooming in summer. There are a few pots of fresh fruits such as new lotus root, melon, loquat, and forest hook on the table in the hall, and a few fans are thrown on the chair, and it seems that the emperor had taken a cool place here before going to sleep. ”

Speaking of this, I heard a clapping sound, but it was the person who gritted his teeth: "If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next breakdown." ”

The listeners outside suddenly let out a sigh of appetizer, but immediately applauded for the iron mouth Li.

Chen Hong took a sip of the cooled tea, and already knew about Lin Haoran's arrival, but he said leisurely: "This "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is really wonderful, I heard that Jin Yong is a hermit in Leizhou Mansion, and you brought it to the capital?" ”

"Jin Yong is his pseudonym, his real name is Kang Wanrong, and he is not a hermit, just an aspiring old boy!" Lin Haoran did not hide it, revealing the truth.

"Such a great talent, it turned out to be just a child's fame, it can be seen that I don't know how many talents have been buried in this imperial examination!" Chen Hong put down the teacup and said helplessly.

Lin Haoran glanced at Chen Hong strangely, I don't know why he felt this way, but he still replied decently: "Although a lot of talents have been buried, the word fairness is important, so that the children of the poor family have a way to enter." ”

This is true, there are two sides to everything. Despite all the drawbacks, the imperial examination can be quite fair, giving the poor and the rich a fair chance to compete.

"In recent years, the imperial court has taken scholars, most of them are from rich families, and there are few real peasant children, how does Lin Fuyin think about this matter?" Chen Hongwang asked Lin Haoran seriously.

Lin Haoran's heart moved slightly, knowing that Chen Hong was from a poor family and had studied for a few years in his early years.

It is said that at this time, it should follow his point of view, follow him to the same hatred, and blame the injustice of fate. It's just that when the words came to his lips, he understood that if he wanted to establish a friendship with this great eunuch, this method was not possible.

Lin Haoran picked up the teacup, took a sip, shook his head and said: "The imperial court has divided the north and south lists, which is a reflection of fairness!" And most of the officials who can be selected for the Supervision Yuan are some officials from poor backgrounds, which reflects a kind of fairness. Gonggong Chen, you only saw the bad side, but you didn't think of the good side for the poor people. ”

"Are you really confused or fake? That's it, we won't argue with you about this! Chen Hong showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and then picked up the new tea and asked, "You asked someone to give such a heavy gift to our family, but do you have a request for our family?" ”

"Father-in-law Chen, that gift has nothing to do with the official, it was all given to you by Chen Yuanwai because he admired you!" Lin Haoran first denied the matter in silence, and then directly requested: "Lin Mou came here today, and he really has something to ask for!" I would like to ask my father-in-law to help me say a few more kind words in front of the saint in these days! ”

"The miscellaneous family is a low-minded person, and the current palace is not as good as the previous dynasty. If our family dares to interfere in political affairs and defend your affairs, our family's head will not be guaranteed! Chen Hong took a sip of tea and shook his head decisively.

Although he received a heavy gift and was extremely optimistic about Lin Haoran's future, it was impossible for him to take such a big risk.

Lin Haoran was not surprised by this result, but said with a straight face: "Lin doesn't ask Gonggong Chen to take the initiative to defend Lin, I just hope that when I have the opportunity, I can help Lin say good things, instead of falling into a hole for Lin!" ”

Chen Hong was dissatisfied with what happened just now, but he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Our family and Lin Fuyin are acquaintances, how can we do something that falls into the ground?" ”

"Thank you so much Grandpa Chen!" Lin Haoran thanked him.

Chen Hong saw that Tiezui Li had already left, and then saw that the time was not early, and understood that he could not stay here, so he said to Lin Haoran: "Our family still has something to do, so let's leave first!" ”

"I'll send you!" Lin Haoran pretended to be authentic.

"No, we are different from inside and outside!" Chen Hong decisively refused, and just walked away.

Lin Haoran looked at Chen Hong, who was leaving, and found that this Chen Hong was a man of temperament, and he was obviously a very ambitious eunuch. If you can handle the relationship between the two sides well, it can be a good ally.
