In late spring, the scenery is just right. The fields are green and there are birds singing everywhere; the grass is long and the eagles fly, and tourists can be seen vividly. Especially outside Chang'an City, red men and green women are bustling with each other, stepping around the mountains, forests, grasslands, horse farms, Zen temples, and Taoist temples within a radius of more than ten miles. I don't know how many grass buds are unlucky, and I don't know how many Zen temples, the thresholds of Taoist temples were broken. The moans, panting, silver in the merit box, and the impact of copper coins formed the lush scene of the first few years of the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, and was full of vitality.

A yellow grass horse pulled a gray carriage full of cracks and mud covered with axles, and slowly drove towards Chang'an City from the east gate. A pair of slightly triangular eyes, flexible and flexible eyes quickly glanced at the beautiful men and women seen along the way from the carriage window. The envy, jealousy and a little disdainful look was indescribable. Especially when he saw some goldfish bags and silverfish bags that were deliberately drooping down the waists of some men who were in the spring, he muttered in a low voice: "I will replace them all." However, his eyes became even more hot, and he swept over the towering breasts of the plump and beautiful women beside the men, and the exposed breasts of white and exposed breasts.

The carriage that looked unpopular was shaking to the east gate of Chang'an City. Old Cangtou, who was driving the carriage, suddenly jumped off the shaft and shouted loudly: "Mr. Li, this city gate is blocked, and the carriage can't be entered. The old man doesn't recognize the road in Chang'an City. Why don't you enter the city by yourself? While it's still early, the old man will be able to catch a station after rushing back here."

As soon as the car curtain was lifted, a tall young man jumped out of the car with two packages on his back, thanked the old man a few words casually, threw down a handful of copper coins, thought about it, and threw five or six more big money up, and smiled and said, "I'm working hard, you have to be careful when you go back to Yangzhou all the way. Help me pass on a message to the man in my house, saying that although Jiang Yu is naughty, he is extremely smart. Don't let him run around on the Tianshan Mountain, and you should read a few books as soon as possible."

The old Cangtou smiled and put the copper coin into his waist bag, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, you must bring this to you." He tilted his butt and jumped onto the shaft of the car, waved the whip, drove the bad horse to turn around quickly, and slowly walked towards the way he came.

Mr. Li stood there and patted the dust on his body. He watched the carriage gradually fade away. He suddenly let out a light whisper: "I, Li Linfu, came from a royal family, but I know nothing about poetry and verses. When I came to Chang'an, I asked my uncle to help him find a background. How big can my father be the shady master of the Yang Mansion? But he has no close brothers to help me. I have to see if this Jiang Yu has some potential. Why do I say that they are all brothers in battle? Although he is not my biological brother, this friendship is enough."

After sighing, Li Linfu clenched his fists tightly and whispered, "Chang'an, I, Li Linfu, are here!" He pursed his lips tightly and carried two packages on his back. Li Linfu, who was a little nervous about walking in the city. The gate of the city was crowded and crowded. The carriage was so difficult to move forward just now. Fortunately, although Li Linfu was ignorant, he had to survive for a few years and learned some skills of swords, guns and sticks. Relying on his youth and strength, he forced himself into the city gate from the crowd and walked on the streets of Chang'an City.

As soon as he poked out his head, a horse whip swept over his head with a 'ches', almost sweeping his hat to the ground. A small official wearing a light green round necklace with a few flowers on his head, shouting loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the new Jinshi parade! All the fellows are all right away! The adults have fallen in love with the new Jinshi inside, but they have to start early. There are so many big girls and little wives on the roadside, so it is not easy to choose a good son-in-law!" The little official shouted loudly, attracting countless people watching on the roadside to laugh.

A team of young people riding tall horses with red clouds on their faces and chaotic branches on their heads kept bowing to the people on both sides of the road, nodding with a smile on their faces. In the windows of the restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the street, they could vaguely see their clothes and temples flashing. Occasionally, women laughed and scolded, and even more courageous beautiful women leaned out of the window, twisted the Ropa in their hands into a ball, and smashed them down at someone in the group of Jinshi. As soon as the Ropa touched the heads of the Jinshi, the people on the roadside cheered again. Some of the gossips were afraid that the world would not be in chaos and jumped among the crowd. The sharp whistle sounded in their mouths, and they used their eyes to provoke those brave ladies.

From time to time, people wearing housekeeper clothes and smiling faces were hurried out from the luxuriously decorated restaurants, and pulled a young and handsome scholar in the team to talk in a close conversation, and then ran back to the restaurant with a smile. All the Jinshis who had talked to these servants were so excited that their faces were flushed with excitement. They applauded and greeted each other with the Jinshis around them, and their faces were almost blooming with peonies.

Li Linfu stood among the crowd on the roadside, stabilizing his hat on his head. Looking at these young handsome men and women cheerfully boasting about their figure and glory, he couldn't help but frown tightly: "What can frivolous villains do? These women are really shameless. How could they choose their husbands in front of so many people on the street? The atmosphere in Chang'an seems to be even better than that in Yangzhou." He criticized these young and frivolous men and women with righteousness. Li Linfu's own envy was so unconcealed that he could not hide it. A pair of triangular eyes stared at a beautiful woman who came half of the cheek on the roadside on the teahouse. Suddenly sighed: "The imperial examination is not my Li Genu's way to ascension!"

Shaking his head, among the lively crowds around, Li Linfu looked a little depressed and walked along the street. Occasionally, he would inquire about the roadway from the people on the road. After walking for half an hour, he passed dozens of lifangs, and then entered the peaceful and happy place in the east of the city and arrived in front of a high-gate mansion. Looking at the vermilion gate in front of him, the stone steps at the entrance and the two tall stone lions, Li Linfu shrank and stepped on the porch at the edge of the stone steps, bowed to an old mansion in the doorman and smiled: "Please inform me if you want your old partner, and you will say that Li Linfu, the son of Li Sihui in Yangzhou, is here."

The old man who was holding a bowl of tea and sipped in small sips, glanced at Li Linfu from the corner of his eyes and quickly put down the tea bowl when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the nephew master has been mentioned frequently in the past two days. No need to inform me, the prince said, when you come, just go in directly. Jiang Er, Jiang Er, where have you died? Go and take the nephew master to see the prince!"

A servant dressed in a small suit and hat hurriedly ran out and saluted Li Linfu. Li Linfu quickly reached out and grabbed a few copper coins in his pocket. After thinking about it, he took out more than a dozen more and rewarded the old Cangtou. The old Cangtou smiled so much that his teeth almost fell down. He quickly opened the side door for him with a smile and found the servant to lead Li Linfu in.

In the main hall of the Duke of Chu's Mansion, Jiang Jiao, wearing a purple silk robe, had already heard from the news and was standing at the door of the main hall. Seeing the tall Li Linfu coming over under the guidance of his servants, he quickly stepped down the steps and greeted Li Linfu. "Brother, you haven't seen each other for a few years. You are also an adult. Are your father in good health? Are your mother in good health? Why didn't your wife go to Beijing with you? What's the good thing about Yangzhou City? Why didn't the whole family come to Chang'an? Your father is confused. Since you are unhappy with the military position, how good is it to come to Chang'an? There are still many relatives here! This is far away, and the relationship between flesh and blood has faded!"

Before Li Linfu could speak, Jiang Jiao had already grabbed his shoulder and looked at his face carefully, nodding with satisfaction: "Well, okay, it looks like your mother. Alas, I have worked hard along the way?"

Li Linfu quickly broke free from Jiang Jiao's hand, knelt down and kowtowed and bowed, "Good uncle. Dad said that the climate in Yangzhou is warm. After living there for a long time, I am too lazy to go back to Chang'an thousands of miles away. Besides, the family business here has been ruined, but there is no place to settle down when I come back. Mother is all well. It is not possible to have no one to take care of the family. Dad and mother can't work harder, so the nephew and daughter-in-law stay there, always being able to be filial."

He pulled Li Linfu up with one hand, Jiang Jiao smiled and said, "Your father's temper, hey, it's no different from those elders in your family. Why are you so stubborn? Come, when you arrive at your uncle's house, you will not talk nonsense to you. This time when you come to Chang'an, your uncle will always help you." He pondered for a while, nodded and smiled, "I'll take your knowledge later and see where you arrange to get you first. In the past few years, Luoyang was in trouble in Chang'an and many places always had to add people."

After the meal, Jiang Jiao was already sitting in the study with a bitter face, looking at Li Linfu who was restless in front of him and said with a wry smile: "Your father is too. Could it be that your family is so embarrassed? Didn't even ask for your husband for you? Brother Nu, you can be a essay along the way. Although you can be a hiding official, if you read less, it will be extremely difficult to get promoted in the future."

Li Linfu, who was covered in cold sweat, looked up at his uncle carefully and whispered: "Genu was born to not like studying. He just hang out with the soldiers of the Governor's Office, but he also had the strength to use a big machete of ten pounds and a bow of two stones. This skill is rare in Yangzhou." With a ulterior motive, he thought, saying that this is not considered deceiving his uncle. He ate wine, gambling, and visiting prostitutes with a group of playboys in Yangzhou City. If he had a dispute with other playboys, he, Li Linfu, was indeed the first to take the lead, and a whistle stick could knock down more than a dozen people.

"I don't know how to write poetry and books, but this errand I've prepared to arrange for you before is difficult; having good skills is also wonderful. Now there is a shortage of people in the palace, so it's better to send you into the palace to do business." Jiang Jiao thought for a moment, finally slapped the table, nodded and smiled.

Li Linfu was so scared that he quickly shouted: "Uncle, brother, don't want to cut his eggs and be a eunuch."

Jiang Jiao was stunned, then squirted and cursed, "Fuck! Can my uncle send you to be a eunuch? The young Qianniuwei around the emperor, my uncle wants to stuff you in. Qianniuwei is the emperor's personal soldiers, and most of them are the descendants of the royal family, but your identity is also appropriate. Tomorrow, my uncle will take you to the genealogy of the Li family in Zongzheng Temple and find your name to report to the palace. You can rest for a few days first and go around Chang'an City, and then prepare to work as a servant in the palace!"

Li Linfu then felt relieved and said with a smirk: "Brother Nu is frightened. It's really scary to go into the palace to do business. By the way, uncle, Brother Nu has brought some local gifts to my uncle, so please don't dislike me." From the two packages he had been carrying, he carefully took out a ball of about the size of a child's head from the slightly larger package, and gently placed it in front of Jiang Jiao.

Jiang Jiao looked at the things in shock, picked up a copper ring ruler beside him and poked the moss a few times, revealing the size of a fist inside, and the purple tuber was magnificent with a little moist ray of light. Blinking his eyes, Jiang Jiao jumped up and flipped through the bookshelf beside him for a while, looked it out for a long time, and smiled and said, "Ah, it's indeed Polygonum multiflorum He Shouye, which is more than a hundred years old, this is a valuable thing. Brother Nu, why did you bring such a heavy gift? Polygonum multiflorum is easy to find, is it a hundred years old, but it's rare."

Li Linfu was delighted and hurriedly smiled, "It's fine if my uncle likes it, it's not a rare thing. Brother Nu's second uncle's family business was ruined, and an orphan hid him at Brother Nu's house. His name was Jiangyu. He was eleven years old and liked to wander around the mountains and forests around Yangzhou City. He brought back some herbs from time to time, and his family got used to it."

When Jiang Jiao heard that an eleven-year-old baby could run around in the mountains and forests, and could find Polygonum multiflorum who had been over a hundred years old, he was curious and thought about bringing the river fish to Chang'an to see it. But when he heard it again, the river fish was a man from Li Linfu's second concubine's house. He immediately felt a little unhappy and frowned: "Your father, hum, it's okay to marry your mother and find a concubine, but why did he raise their baby? Forget it, you go and rest first. It's important for my uncle to take you to do a serious business tomorrow."

No words all night.

The next day, Duke of Chu Jiang Jiao personally took Li Linfu to Zongzheng Temple, and found the temple minister of the Li family to verify Li Linfu's identity as a royal family, and added his name to him on the family tree and divided his seniority. Only then did he realize that Li Linfu was one generation higher than the current emperor Li Longji. After the matter, Jiang Jiao hurriedly took the memorials from Zongzheng Temple and rode towards the direction of the imperial city. Before leaving, Jiang Jiao asked Li Linfu to go to the lively place in Chang'an City first, leaving behind the Ding Jianger who led the way yesterday to accompany him, and deliberately instructed Li Linfu that there were too many royal relatives in Chang'an City. Although the Duke of Chu's mansion was not afraid of right and wrong, he should not cause trouble.

Li Linfu, who was just a new arrival, really didn't dare to cause trouble. He touched his pocket that was already so dry that he had left. He went straight back to the Duke's Mansion and took out another package on his body. Li Linfu smiled at Jiang Er and said, "Jiang Er, where is the best medicine shop in Chang'an City? Take me to see it."

Jiang Er quickly bent down and bowed and said, "Young Master, I, Jiang Er, have been in Chang'an for more than 20 years. What is there that I am not familiar with? If you want to talk about the pharmacy shops in the market, you have to go to the East City or the West City, where merchants gather. However, the pharmacy shops there are backgrounds from the Imperial Hospital or other officials behind them. They have always been sold at high prices and low prices. You don't have to go there to get angry. If you want to do business, you have to go to the market shops in Dacien Temple. Several shops have a good reputation among the people. Whether you want to buy medicinal materials or sell medicinal materials, the best there is."

He looked at Jiang Er with a smile on his face, and Li Linfu said relaxedly: "You are very smart! Master, I am going to sell medicine. I have no choice but to have a bad bag. My uncle said that the hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum I gave him is very expensive. Master, I will go and see how much it can be sold? You won't finish it?"

A firm expression of loyalty to the emperor and protecting the lord appeared on his face. Jiang Er said with a righteous spirit: "Young Master, you can see me Jiang Er clearly. Who doesn't know that my Jiang Er's mouth is the tightest? If it weren't for this, I, Jiang Er, could not be your relative!" Very well, this was just a blink of an eye, and Jiang Er had already upgraded himself from a guardian to Li Linfu's relative level.

"Okay, Dacien Temple. Then go. Remember your words, Master, I have your benefits, too." Li Linfu followed Jiang Er for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, the few herbs in this package are really worthless in Yangzhou. I will take you by my side to prevent illness on the road. Jiang Er, do you understand?"

"Jiang Er understands, of course I understand! The prince likes the nephew so much, who dares to talk nonsense?" There was a deliberate sense of flattery in Jiang Er's smile, which made Li Linfu very helpful.

Dacien Temple, the most famous temple in Chang'an City, is also the most popular and most tourists. I won't talk about the lush scene in the temple, just outside the temple, there are many tourists, cars and horses like dragons, and the signboards stretched into the sky like stalks. There are countless small business vendors spreading a piece of coarse cloth on the ground, putting their goods on the ground, and yelling when they pulled their throats. In addition, the wheels, the horses were waving, and the toasts in the restaurants outside the temple, and the screams of young girls secretly pinched their butts in the crowd and the laughter of the onlookers. This huge sound wave covered several nearby blocks.

Jiang Er struggled to walk through the crowd with Li Linfu, and squeezed forward, and turned around and smiled, "Young Master, you'll be used to it. Chang'an City is so crowded, especially this kind of prosperity. Tsk, that's like a cloud and sweating like rain. Hey, don't worry, just go to the road ahead, there are few and quiet people, there is the back door of Dacien Temple, and several pharmacies are there. Can't let the doctor who sits in the hall take the pulse and prescribe medicine for people in such a noisy place?"

After squeezed through the avenue just before the main entrance of Dacien Temple, Li Linfu suddenly touched his belt and cursed viciously. He didn't know who was in the crowd so quickly, but his waist bag, which had been left with a very small amount, had been touched completely. Suddenly, he hugged the package in his arms tighter. This is his only source of wealth in the future. He always had to spend money in Chang'an City? How could he have the nerve to take money out of Jiang Jiao's hand?

Sure enough, the back door of the Dacien Temple was very quiet. Except for the occasional varnished carriage passing by, there were only a few scattered vendors squatting on the side of the road, guarding their pavilions, and even the spirit of shouting to greet the guests. Li Linfu let out a sigh, glanced at the vendors on the roadside with a little high point, and then looked at the pharmacy shop with a little respect, which had become dull due to the long time. He tightened the package in his arms and walked quickly towards the drug shop.

Suddenly, a gentle and heavy voice came from the roadside without any fireworks: "Young Master, please stay. Young Master, please stay!" Li Linfu was obsessed with the large handful of copper coins and silver that were within reach. Where did you hear the man's cry? So the sound suddenly sounded, as if a thunder exploded in Li Linfu's ears: "Hey, that's the doll holding the package, stop for me! There is a good smell of medicinal materials in your arms, where did you get it?"

Li Linfu was frightened by the loud sound and the whole body shivered. The package on his hand suddenly fell to the ground. He turned his head in shock and looked at the place more than two feet away behind him. He lazily leaned against the wall behind the Dacien Temple. There was a big man with a black cloth in front of him, and dozens of small piles of herbs were placed on it. This man was afraid that he was nine feet tall. His head was messy and his hair was tied with a small bun, and his big eyes were squinted lazily under his thick eyebrows. Now he was nodding and smiling. Especially this man was extremely tall, with long limbs and long legs. Li Linfu always felt that he had seen someone with such a figure.

After quickly looking at the man, he found that the man seemed to be not threatening him at all. Li Linfu coughed, picked up the package on the ground, walked to the man's stall, frowned, "You are so rude, why are you doing so loudly? What's the matter if you call me? I have a lot of things, but I don't have time to chat with you."

Jiang Er also quickly came over and pointed at the man with a little fox and a tiger's power and shouted loudly: "You guy don't know the etiquette. Do you know who this young man is in front of you? My young master is a royal family of the Tang Dynasty and the nephew of Duke Chu. He has a bright future! What are you yelling? What are you yelling?"

The big man raised his head, his eyes suddenly opened. The beard on his face suddenly spread like a lion's mane. It seemed that two lightning flashed in his eyes, and the invisible power spread around. The whole person gave people the feeling that it was like a small tree seed, which suddenly grew into a big tree dozens of feet tall. The towering power made people suffocate. Jiang Er sat on the ground with a butt, staring at the big man stupidly, how could he dare to speak?

Li Linfu's heart moved. Since the Tang Dynasty, the most legendary legends have been circulated among the people, especially those strange people and strange things hidden in the market, and countless stories, whether true or false. Seeing the completely different temperaments of this Han Dynasty, Li Linfu knew that he might have been lucky enough to meet the legendary master, and quickly bowed and said with 120,000 respect and respect: "I wonder what kind of precious thing this hero has to do with me, Li Linfu? This is indeed a medicinal material for the protection of the country!"

Opening the package on his hand, Li Linfu placed two Polygonum multiflorum plants and a piece of purple Ganoderma lucidum with traces of insects gnawed in front of the big man.

The invisible power of the man suddenly subsided. He didn't even look at the two Polygonum multiflorum plants, but just picked up the purple Ganoderma lucidum, which was layered in eight layers of layers, and looked at it again and again. After a long time, he frowned and said in a low voice: "That's right, this eight-leaf purple zhi has a temperature of at least five or six hundred years. The traces of gnawing on it were left by the fire spirit snake. Judging from the smell, the last time the fire spirit snake ate this Ganoderma lucidum was a month ago. This Ganoderma lucidum was also broken down by someone with his hands a month ago."

A smile appeared on his face, and the big man sat cross-legged on the ground and smiled at Li Linfu, "Mr. Li Linfu? I wonder how much money did you spend to acquire this medicinal herb?"

The man's face was smiling, but Li Linfu was confused and felt that the man smiled like a breeze blowing his face, extremely friendly and natural, and subconsciously replied: "Where did you buy it for money? This was picked by my little cousin from my second mother's house on the mountain by himself. Is this thing very expensive? Since the little cousin came to my house, he often used this kind of thing to make porridge."

Looking at Li Linfu in surprise, the man was obviously stunned for a moment and frowned and said, "Your cousin? He, well, is Gui Geng this year?"

Li Linfu replied honestly: "Jiang Yu is only eleven years old this year, but he is very naughty. His father is too lazy to read for the teacher he hired to teach. The few brothers in the army I found him to teach him martial arts, and he can escape. He ran away quickly, so how can ordinary people catch up with him? He often walks in the mountains and forests near Yangzhou for two or three days, and then brings a bunch of herbs, insects and birds, etc. home."

After blinking his eyes, Li Linfu suddenly pointed at the big man and said, "By the way, Jiang Yu and the brave man, you look like you, with long hands and feet. Hey, no matter how much he eats, the head is very long, but he has no flesh on his body, thin arms and legs. I don't know how he can beat so many dolls on the street."

The man closed his eyes and then suddenly opened. Two ridges in his eyes lit up on Li Linfu's face, which scared Li Linfu so much that he took a few steps back. The man threw the Ganoderma lucidum on his stall, stood up and stretched his waist and smiled, "I've closed the stall, I've been sitting in this place for more than ten days, and there's only one transaction in total. Hey, Mr. Li, I learned some of the ability to face each other when I was young. You were the first to Chang'an, and I'm afraid you have to curl up for a while before you can show your skills."

His long arms stretched out and gently patted Li Linfu's shoulder. The big man smiled and said, "My name is Wufan. Mr. Li remembers that my name is. Well, I'm so self-righteous."

He reached out and picked up three herbs from Li Linfu, stuffed them into Li Linfu's arms with the mud on it. Wu Fan turned Li Linfu around and faced him at the medicine shop. "Okay, Mr. Li will not delay making a fortune. These three herbs are all very rare and good products, especially this piece of eight-leaf purple zhi, which is not allowed to take action without twenty cents of money. Mr. Li will never have a chance in the future!"

The big hand patted Li Linfu's shoulder a few times. When Li Linfu and Jiang Er turned around at the same time, there was no trace of Wufan's shadow in that place? Even his stall disappeared without a trace, and the dozens of herbs scattered were left without any medicine.

Jiang Er was so scared that he became weak all over and whispered: "Ghost!"

Li Linfu was so excited that his face flushed and cursed in a low voice: "What nonsense? This person is not the legendary sword immortal, but also a top-notch knight. Can he look at me? It seems that I, Li Linfu, will definitely have some luck in the future!"

In his heart, Li Linfu took a deep breath, looked up at the spring sky of Chang'an City, and suddenly smiled with a passion in his heart.
Chapter completed!
