Chapter 165 Climb a tall building alone
The night in Chang'an is colorful.
This is a sight Liu Sheng has never seen before.
After eating and drinking, Liu Sheng saw that they were all reminiscing about the past in twos and threes, so he walked to the balcony of the box, leaned on the railing, looked into the distance, and breathed in the fresh air.
Oh, there is Ling Xiaoshu next to me.
"Sister, I feel so tired listening to them talking."
"Well, I'm so tired too."
"But will you become such a person? If you pass the imperial examination, you will Have you become like that Brother Jiang? "
After Ling Xiaoshu went to elementary school, his whole perception changed. And as a rare tree species in the universe, it has a good foundation and strong learning ability, and can finally understand many things.
"Oh? What kind of person do you think Brother Jiang is?" Liu Sheng was a little surprised, Ling Xiaoshu was already judging people.
"Well...it's just fake, like wearing a mask."
Liu Sheng thought for a while and said, "No way? I don't think I can be like that."
"That's good." Ling Xiaoshu said seriously with a straight face.
Liu Sheng smiled and touched her head.
“What do you see that makes you smile so happily?” Wang Dongdong’s voice came from behind, and he leaned against the railing with her.
Liu Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought of some happy things."
Wang Dongdong sighed softly and looked back. The terrace was a little far away from the inside of the box. He should be listening when he whispered. Missing.
She then whispered to Liu Sheng: "I'm sorry, Shengsheng, I shouldn't have dragged you here."
"It's okay, how can you eat Taibailou's signature dishes if you don't come? What?" Liu Sheng comforted him, knowing that Wang Dongdong was feeling sorry.
“I haven’t seen them for so long that I almost forgot about their bad habits.”
"Not entirely, right?" Liu Sheng pointed out.
“Yes, Sister Shao Yan and Ruan Persimmon are very good, and Jing Hao is actually a good person, but he is talkative and cold-faced.”
Then Wang Dongdong said in annoyance: “I used to think that Brother Zhi is also very good, but I don’t know why, but he has become a little different.”
Liu Sheng shook his head, maybe it wasn’t that he had changed, but that he was showing his true self more unscrupulously.
Wang Dongdong wanted to say something else, but someone came to the terrace, so they both stopped talking.
"Dongdong, you are finally back." The voice was low but gentle, it was Shao Yan.
She also followed Wang Dongdong and Liu Sheng, leaning on the railing and looking at the feasting and feasting in Chang'an at night.
"Sister Shao Yan... do you also think I am willful?" Wang Dongdong felt aggrieved.
"No, I understand you." Shao Yan shook her head and said softly.
Her eyes were very bright, and she looked directly at Wang Dongdong, "You have your own thoughts and decisions, which are different from us."
"Sometimes I think that I should be like you and go out of Chang'an to have a look. Maybe I won't be as miserable as I am now." Shao Yan lowered her long eyelashes and covered her bright eyes, hiding the regret in her eyes.
“Sister Shao Yan, isn’t the General Administration of Textiles bad?” Wang Dongdong finally heard it.
"Well, there are many situations now that you don't know yet." Shao Yan said vaguely.
"Maybe it's my problem. After all, my background is different from yours."
Shao Yan said with a wry smile. Seeing Liu Sheng's confused look, she took the initiative to explain Said: "I am not from an official family. I am just a businessman at home and have some wealth."
Liu Sheng nodded, and finally understood why Shao Yan seemed a little out of place with the others. The most obvious thing was that he had a rare sense of humility and low-keyness.
After all, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are the last.
In the Tang Dynasty, this rule was still followed even after the first year of the divine apparition.
So Wen Weilan would not be in business if he was not desperate. But although businessmen cannot hold power and have no class status, at least they have Lingyuan in hand.
Just by looking at Shao Yan, you can tell that resources can be invested to help her advance all the way up, and finally take part in the imperial examination and become an official in one fell swoop.
Liu Sheng himself can be considered as such, relying on Miss Wen’s support until now.
If it were her before, she might have really just saved her money to go to Chang'an and then take a tour.
Shao Yan saw that Liu Sheng's expression didn't change, as if he didn't care about her background, but after thinking about it, she laughed. After all, Liu Sheng's family was a hundred thousand times colder than hers.
"Sorry, I was so messed up just now that I haven't welcomed you seriously yet." Shao Yan said apologetically to Liu Sheng.
"It doesn't matter, I am the uninvited guest." Liu Sheng said seriously, "Who is the guest this time?"
"Why do you ask this? It is the bureau of Jiang Caizhi and Caibin." Shao Yan said.
So Liu Sheng stopped wanting to give money.
“Isn’t Mr. Jiang supposed to avoid suspicion?” Liu Sheng thought of their previous words of rejection.
Shao Yan smiled: "We should avoid suspicion, but I haven't seen Dongdong for a long time, so I thought of getting together."
"I may not be free next time. Brother Jiang is busy with the imperial examination, and you have to take the imperial examination, so this is a rare opportunity." She explained again.
Wang Dongdong was a little angry: "It turned out that we were getting together, and he was always being weird with me."
"But when you left in a hurry, Jiang Caibin was a little angry..." Shao Yan He whispered and looked back at the box, "Hey, where did Xiaobin go?"
It's better to make sure you are there if you are talking behind someone's back, otherwise it will be embarrassing if others hear you.
Wang Dongdong didn't care at all: "Maybe I went to relieve myself." Then he said angrily, "Why is he angry?"
Shao Yan was a little funny: "You didn't expect it at all?"
"What didn't you expect?" Wang Dongdong looked confused.
Shao Yan chuckled. It seemed that he hadn't figured it out yet, so that kid wasn't a good match either.
At the same time, Liu Sheng also smiled beside Wang Dongdong.
The two people's eyes collided and they knew they were thinking of the same thing.
"Speaking of it... I always feel that your name is a bit familiar, but is the 'Sheng' in 'Shengxiao'?" Shao Yan suddenly remembered something.
Liu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, remembering Wen Weilan's words about someone from the General Department of Textiles staring at him.
"Yes, maybe it's a popular name."
"It's not a popular name, but I can't remember where I heard it. Let me think about it again." Shao Yan frowned and tried hard Remembering.
The conversation between the two ended here. After all, they had just met.
Therefore, Liu Sheng deliberately stayed away, leaving Shao Yan and Wang Dongdong to talk about themselves, and just stood silently looking outside the building.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the dimly lit area downstairs, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Although she only saw him once, it was enough to remember him deeply.
Because that appearance is the best of the men she has seen so far, even if she is face blind, she can remember it firmly.
He was accompanied by two women. From a distance, they looked graceful and elegant. In addition, they were dressed in luxurious clothes, so they must be noblewomen from the capital.
Wang Dongdong and Shao Yan were close, and when they heard Liu Sheng's voice, they were curious about why she reacted like this, so they followed her gaze.
“It’s him!” Shao Yan opened her eyes wide and said suddenly.
"The proud son of heaven who is now famous all over the capital, Wen Xuanning."
