When the three little maids heard Jia Xun's instructions, they bowed Yingying, said goodbye, and then went about their business.

However, Cai Luan was a bit annoyed. When she saw the three maids leaving, she looked at Jia Qi eagerly. Jia Qi raised his eyebrows, knowing that Cai Luan was planning to go out with him, so he said, "Go and change it yourself."

Put on your clothes and we'll go together later. No talking, only watching~"

Cai Luan curled her lips and ran out in a hurry.

Half an hour later, Jia Qi walked out of the Hou Mansion dressed in bright red. In front of him was a vivid golden unicorn that was eager to try, a jade belt around his waist, a pair of soap boots under his feet, and a jade crown on his hair, showing his elegant style.

Cai Luan was stunned when he saw the young man's sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, his nose like a hanging gallbladder, his face like a crown jade, and his extraordinary appearance.

"The little bastard is still growing up, okay~"

When Jia Qi heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you crazy again? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cai Luan rolled her eyes at Jia Qi angrily. This is their southern Xinjiang dialect, and they praise a man for being handsome! This idiot doesn't understand the style.

"You're talking about a certain little bastard who looks better than Pan An!"

Seeing Cai Luan being like this, Jia Qi laughed, shook his head, and stopped caring, "In a sedan or on a horse?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What kind of sedan are you riding in? I'm not a weak little girl!"

After saying that, Cai Luan also asked someone to lead out a horse, stepped on the horse and got on the horse's back. Then he glanced at Jia Qi, as if to say, I am not that weak.

"My Healing Game"

Then Jia Qi lightly touched the ground and climbed onto the horse's back.

"Let's go~"

The streets in the capital are very spacious. There are many shops on both sides of the streets. The cries of vendors in the streets and alleys are endless. There are sugar figures, candied haws, juggling, busking, and all kinds of snacks. At a glance, it is full of fireworks.

Crowded.

Seeing Cai Luan's excited expression, Jia Qi shook his head helplessly, "Let's wait another day! Today's clothes, even though they are regular clothes, are still a bit ostentatious."

Hearing this, Cai Luan reluctantly looked back and followed Jia Qi into another street.

There are three words written on the street archway, "Ningrong Street". Compared with the previous street, this street is obviously deserted. There are only a few merchants. Looking at the bookstore on the street, Jia Qi's eyes flashed

Looking back, when he was preparing to take the imperial examination, he came here often, reading books, and the time was quiet. Now, in the blink of an eye, it has been five or six years.

After thinking about it, Jia Qi got off his horse and walked to the bookshop in a few steps. There was a cover outside the shop with a calligraphy on it. The shop was almost the same as before, and there were not many changes. Jia Qi glanced at a corner.

, Well, it was the same old man, a poor scholar that Jia Zheng invited from the countryside. He remembered that his name was Si Songgen.

When the old man heard the noise, he slowly got up from the bamboo chair, squinted his eyes, shook his head and said: "This is Jia's Bookstore, which is not open to outsiders for the time being. Jia's children can study here for free, but they are not allowed to damage the books!

"

There was a heater where he stayed, but books were flammable, so they were far away. He didn't see the person coming clearly. When he turned around from the wall, he saw a young man dressed in bright red.

It shocked him.

This kind of vermilion color is not something ordinary people can afford to wear. Only those officials of fourth rank or above can wear red in the court.

"Old man, your body is still so strong~"

Seeing this old man, Jia Qi said half-jokingly.

Si Songgen's heart trembled when he heard this familiar greeting. He hadn't heard this voice for four or five years. He had thought that Jia Qi was dead! After all, Jia Qi was too young and alone.

, in this world, the chance of a child surviving alone is not very high.

"Are you Brother Qin??"

Seeing Si Songgen's eyes moist, Jia Qi also sighed in his heart. When he came here to read a book, he spent a lot of time with this stubborn old man. From the beginning, he complained, but later he was willing to give him a few pennies.

Prepare two steamed buns. Jia Qi is still grateful to this old man.

"It's me~"

After hearing Jia Qi's words, Si Songgen wiped two handfuls of them on his face randomly and smiled.

"The wind is strong and the sand is blinding~"

Jia Qi knew that this old man was stubborn, so he didn't try to expose him. He casually pulled two stools aside, put one in front of Si Songgen, and placed the other beside him.

Si Songgen didn't know what to do, so he naturally took the stool handed over by Jia Qi, sat down on it, and then asked: "Brother Qi, where have you been in the past few years? I don't see you reading anymore~

"

Jia Qi chuckled, "I didn't go anywhere, I went to Jiubian to fight twice, and I happened to win. Isn't this a glorious return home?"

He knew that this old man stayed here all the time and never went out. He was very ill-informed. He expected that the other party didn't know who he was now, so he didn't use the idea that he was a champion to stimulate him.

At your age, if you are stimulated, it would be terrible to die.

Sure enough, Si Songgen didn't know what was going on outside, or he didn't expect that the young man reading in front of him was the famous champion!

"Going to the battlefield? It'll be great if you can come back! It'll be great if you can come back! Let me tell you! The battlefield is not a kind place, with swords and swords flashing. People are there, and they can lose their lives accidentally. It's better to study! It's better to study.

ah!"

Regarding these words, Jia Qi did not refute. The battlefield was indeed not a kind place. If he did not have the ability to reach heaven and earth, he would definitely not take this path.

"It's okay, there will be no battles to fight on all nine sides in the future!"

Hearing this, the old man was a little confused. The border area has always been a place where gunfire never stops. How could there be no war?

Seeing him like this, Jia Qi continued with a smile: "We Dakang won a great victory this year. We defeated Houyuan to a pulp and were completely defeated. I'm afraid they won't dare to come back to Jiubian to fight against the autumn wind for a long time!"

Si Songgen heard this and nodded.

"That's right! Then the people in our border areas will be happy! Oh! By the way, little brother Qin, have you paid attention to me? I think you are not young anymore. It's not easy for you to establish a career.

, it’s only right to start a family as soon as possible!”

Hearing this, Jia Qi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He looked older, but in fact he was not yet fourteen years old. Getting married at this age was hard for this old man to think of.

Then the two chatted for a while. Jia Qi asked Cai Luan for a one-hundred-tael banknote and handed it to the old man. At first, Si Songgen refused to accept it, but later Jia Qi persuaded him to accept it. In fact, it was fine.

It's not that Jia Qi refuses to give more, but he knows that these one hundred taels are the limit that the old man can safely hold. If there is more, he may be plotted by the villain. If he didn't have fifty taels, he would have given fifty taels.

Two, and I’ll give you the rest later.

Later, he told Si Songgen that if there were any younger people in the family, he could help him find a job, but the old man declined.

In desperation, Jia Chu told him that if there was any difficulty, he would go to the house to find him, and then he got up and left.

After leaving the bookstore, there were only a few steps ahead. Jia Qi did not mount his horse again, but walked directly towards Ning Guo Gong's Mansion~
