By coincidence, a carriage was passing by at this moment. The carriage was covered with thick and gorgeous curtains. Two horses pulled the carriage. Even the groom pulling the carriage was wearing a brand new cotton coat and cotton hat.

"Hey, this carriage looks familiar?" Wu Sheng looked at the carriage. Wasn't it the one he was following that snowy night?

"Brother Ye, what do you think the man in the carriage is doing at this moment?" Wu Sheng pointed to the carriage outside the window.

"Read a book."

‘Reading?’ Wu Sheng was stunned.

"I said he was drinking, and there was probably a beauty in the car."

"How about making a bet?" Ye Qionglou said with a smile.

"Okay, what's the bet?"

"If you lose, please have a meal."

"This is easy, but how to verify it?"

"Stop it directly." After saying this, Ye Qionglou took the lead in leaving the restaurant and walked a few steps to the street.

"Please stop that carriage." He shouted directly towards the carriage.

Hearing the sound, the driver pulled the reins slightly, looked back at Ye Qionglou, and frowned slightly.

"Who are you?!"

"I want to meet the people in the car." Ye Qionglou said with a smile.

The car curtains opened a crack, and the people inside took a look outside.

parking!

With a shout, before the carriage stopped, a young man came out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, walked quickly to Ye Qionglou, and bowed to salute.

"Meet sir."

Wu Sheng, who followed him out of the restaurant, looked at the young man in a white robe and fox fur. He looked handsome and had a special fragrance, but he was too feminine and lacked a bit of masculinity.

"Is there any alcohol in the car?"

"Yes, sir, wait a moment." The young man hurriedly got into the car and took out two bottles of wine. The bottles filled with wine were all made of colorful glass.

When the door curtain was opened, a person could be vaguely seen sitting inside.

"Is there anyone else in the car?"

"Yes, Xiaorou, I came out to meet Mr."

"Yes, sir."

A white and slender hand opened the curtain, and out came a charming beauty with dark clouds on her temples and an almond-shaped face. Like the young man, she was wearing a snow-white gown and a large cloak.

"Xiaorou, come on, this is the Mr. Ye I told you about."

"Xiaorou has met sir." The beautiful woman saluted with gentle movements and a soft voice, just like her name.

Ye Qionglou smiled and returned the courtesy.

"Sir, do you have any other instructions?"

"No, I made a bet with this friend just now. Your carriage just happened to come over. I want to treat him to a drink."

"Sir, if you still need it, I will go home and get it immediately."

"Don't bother bothering you."

"It should be." The young man said hurriedly.

After bowing to the woman, he insisted on asking Ye Qiong to get into the carriage. The carriage was spacious enough to seat four people.

Ye Qionglou naturally refused. The young man and the woman watched Ye Qionglou and Wu Sheng return to the restaurant before getting into the carriage and leaving.

"After all, we are from a wealthy family, so we have no choice in etiquette!" Wu Sheng praised.

"How did Brother Wang guess that there was a woman in the car?"

"Isn't it standard for wealthy people, beautiful women, and fine wine?" Wu Sheng asked with a smile.

"Brother Ye knows that young man?"

"His name is Ding Jiuan, and he is the grandson of Mr. Ding of Ding Mansion."

"Is it the famous Ding Mansion in Jiangning City?"

"yes."

"It turns out that Brother Ye is a distinguished guest of Ding Mansion."

"It's not like we are distinguished guests. It's just that the teacher has given instructions and I, the disciple, will do it for you." Ye Qionglou opened the cork of the glass wine bottle, and suddenly the whole room was filled with fragrance.

“Good wine!”

The aroma of wine and flowers fills the room instantly.

"This wine is called Baihuaxiang. It is brewed from flowers and fragrant dew of all seasons. Try it."

"Rich people really enjoy themselves!" Wu Sheng picked up the wine glass after hearing this. The wine in the white porcelain wine glass was glowing with a light pink color.

Take a sip and your mouth will be filled with the aroma of wine and flowers.

Good wine, good wine!

Outside the restaurant, the carriage had already gone away.

Tap tap tap, the horse's hooves made a crisp sound when they landed on the bluestone-paved street.

In the carriage, the seats were covered with fox fur. There was a small table in the middle of the carriage with an incense burner on it. Light green smoke floated out from it. There was a pot of wine on the table, which was also "scented with flowers." The young man leaned on the carriage.

, there is a beauty pouring wine on the side,

"Sir, why do you respect that Mr. Ye so much?"

"He is a direct disciple of Master Taicang Academy. Not to mention me, my grandfather is respectful to him. This time I came to Ding Mansion to give my grandfather face."

The young master opened the curtain and took a look outside. The sky outside was still a little gloomy, and the wind and snow began to fall.

"Isn't the young master always working for the prince? And he is very appreciated by the prince. I heard that not long ago, the prince praised the old lady in front of many people at a private banquet! Why does he need a disciple to give him face?"

The beauty poured a glass of wine and brought it to the young man's mouth.

"The Ding Mansion looks glamorous, but even the governor of Jiangning has to give the house a bit of trouble. In the final analysis, it is to give the prince face. We and the prince will both prosper and suffer. Do you know the real reason why the prince praises the Ding Mansion?"

The young man picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The beauty on the side shook her head, and the young master reached out to gently touch her face.

"Because the eldest brother entered the inner sect of Taihe Mountain and worshiped Tianhe Zhenren as his teacher."

With a bang, the carriage shook, and a little of the wine in the young master's cup spilled out. The beauty on the side quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him.

"What's going on?" He shouted softly toward the outside of the car.

"Back to the young master, there is a man freezing to death in the snow. I didn't see it, so it's my fault." The driver said hurriedly. Looking at the driver's face, he looked a little panicked.

"Be careful." The young man put the wine glass on the table.

"Yes, sir."

Outside the car, on the snow-covered street, a body fell on the road. The body was covered with unmelted snow, leaving a rut on it. The man's hand was still stretched forward, as if he wanted to grab it.

something.

The carriage gradually moved away.

"Father wants me to go to Taicang Academy." The young master said slowly after being silent for a moment.

"This is a good thing, the young master should be happy!" The woman looked happy.

"I heard that the academy is a holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world. Many officials in the court have received favors from the academy, and the master's status is not lower than that of the imperial master. If he can become a disciple of the academy, he will be as good as the eldest son who has entered the inner gate of Mount Taihe.

!”

"In Jiangning, I am the second son of the Ding family whom everyone knows. After entering Taicang Academy, I may just be a little bookboy with a humble status. And I won't see you for a long time." As he spoke, he said lightly.

He gently held the beauty in his arms.

"I only want to follow the young master in this life." The beauty said softly, leaning in his arms.

"Xiaorou, it's not easy to get into the academy."

"Huh?" The woman in his arms raised her head and looked at him.

"Taicang Academy does not accept disciples every year. I remember the last time it accepted a disciple was eight years ago. At that time, the entire Jin Dynasty only accepted three disciples."

"So few?!"
