Chapter 1 Section 4 Qingzhou Youth

The long years will pass in a moment, which is ten years later.

"God, God, come and greet the guests, hurry up!"

A middle-aged woman's voice was particularly loud in the noisy street. As she shouted, she hurriedly served tea to the guests.

"Here we are, guest, here comes the tea!"

A flag is flying outside a teahouse with four big words - "Sifang Tea House".

At this time, a 15- or 16-year-old beautiful teenager appeared from the inner hall of the teahouse. At this time, he smiled and said to the guests, "Guest, this boss's wife has a bad temper and yells. Don't eat and drink tea here anymore."

"You stinky boy, you have raised you so big, now come to anger me, see if I won't kill you..." The boss's wife should be the teenager's mother, and she is obviously very angry in her words.

"Haha, you can't hit me." The teenager smiled. Before putting down the teapot for the guests in his hand, he ran aside. The boss's wife couldn't catch up. Looking at the teenager's voice, she had to sigh.

This place is called Qingzhou. It is a town located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It has beautiful scenery and is also a private school with a lot of students. Every year, the students who go to the imperial city to take the exam account for a large part. The teenager, named Qin Tian, is also a student here. Unfortunately, he has been playing and not fond of learning since he was a child. His mother had no choice but to take him to take care of this tea house.

And most of the boss's wife and the people in the town don't know her origin. They only know that she has been opening a tea shop here for many years and is enthusiastic, so the business of the tea shop has always been good.

"Oh, my God, we, Qingzhou, have a lot of talents and so many top students, why don't you have a little promising? Alas, I have raised you for nothing for so many years!"

The sun set in the west. In a simple yard, Qin Tian was having dinner with his mother. His mother looked at Qin Tian thoughtfully.

"I don't read. How boring it is to read. My dream is to open our Sifang tea shop to the whole Central Plains in the future. Haha, then I can make a lot of money, haha!"

While eating, Qin Tian said that when he was happy, a little rice fell from the corners of his mouth.

"Silly boy, do you think it's so simple to open a restaurant? If you don't study hard, think nonsense all day long! Look, I won't kill you!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Tian was ready to run away after losing his job. However, today's mother was not as strict as before. She just gently knocked Qin Tian's head, then wiped off the rice grains from the corners of his mouth and said, "Tian'er, are you really so unwilling to study or take the road of official career?"

"Really, mother, I know that you always told me that my father was a talented and shocked the world - a great literati, working for the country and saving the world. He is a big hero, but I don't have this idea. I just want to be a big boss and make countless money..."

"This child, alas..."

The mother often tells Qin Tian about his father, so in Qin Tian's impression, his father is a legend. His mother never told Qin Tian why his father was not by their side.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the imperial city with Boqing to take the exam. If you go out, pay more attention to it. Don't laugh all day long. If you meet others, you must ask for more advice!"

The mother usually beats and scolds Qin Tian. When she thinks that Qin Tian is going to go far away, she naturally can't let go.

It turns out that although Qin Tian is not very good at studying, he is indeed very good with some children in the school. Zhang Boqing is Qin Tian's best partner.

Tomorrow is the day when Zhang Boqing will go to the imperial city for the exam. And Qin Tian will also go with him.

"Madam Qin, Aunt Qin!"

Someone is knocking on the door outside the courtyard. It is Zhang Boqing.

"What are you knocking on? Come in by yourself, stinky boy!"

Qin Tian ignored it and still ate a big meal.

"It's rude, this boy!" Qin's mother couldn't help shaking her head.

The courtyard door "squeaked" and a handsome teenager came in. Seeing that he politely greeted Qin's mother, he turned around and said to Qin Tian, "Brother Qin, my father, please come to my house. Let's go!"

"Bad boy, if you don't come to invite me, I will go for a meal myself. Your family's big meal is better than mine, haha! Let's go!"

Qin's mother shook her head helplessly and wanted to scold Qin Tian, but she didn't say anything.

Zhangfu is indeed a large family in this town. Master Zhang has been a senior official and naturally has a big family. His child, Zhang Boqing, is also very competitive. He is one of the best young talents in this town. He is very good at reading. He can be said to be the same as Qin Tian. I don't know how these two children got together, and Zhang Boqing also called Qin Tian as Brother Qin one by one.

At the banquet, Master Zhang and his wife left the table to Qin Tian. Qin Tian did not postpone it. He sat down happily and said, "Uncle Zhang, this dish is really rich. Alas, it's a pity that I had dinner and I was not very hungry."

"Haha, Qin Tian, you are a cheerful man. I asked you to come this time, but there is something important to tell you. It doesn't matter whether you eat or not."

Master Zhang is a middle-aged man with a friendly face, and he appreciates Qin Tian very much in his words.

"This time I went to the imperial city, it's up to you to accompany Boqing. You two have been playing together since childhood. My child is a few months younger than you. You are the eldest brother, and I entrust you to take good care of Boqing all the way."

"Auncle Zhang, don't worry. Although my study stinks, Qin Tian ranks first in Qingzhou City. Boqing's boy's talent is the first, and my martial arts is the first. Together, the two of us are invincible in the world, haha!"

Qin Tian still laughed and didn't care at all. And the uncle on one side is listening carefully to his father's teaching, with a serious face. Qin Tian picked up a chicken leg on the table and nibbled it while listening to the conversation between the father and son of the Zhang family.

"Qin Tian, come here, this sword will be given to you!"

Master Zhang took out a sword from the room and gave it to Qin Tian.

The sword was shining from afar. Master Zhang pulled out his sword out of its sheath, and the silver light was even more dazzling. Obviously, it was a good sword!

"Wow, good sword and good sword!" At this time, Qin Tian threw away the unfinished chicken leg, ran over in three or two steps, took the sword, and looked happy, as if he had won the treasure. "Uncle Zhang, how much is this sword worth? Is it very expensive?"

Qin Tian said a word, and Master Zhang laughed, "Hero with sword, this sword, just follow you all the way to protect yourself. It's a long way, but take care of yourself!"

Qin Tian held the sword and touched it with admiration. Zhang Boqing, who stood aside, shook his head helplessly, and a few smiles appeared at the corners of his mouth.

The next day, after doing everything, Qin Tian and Zhang Boqing were ready to go on the road.

Qingzhou Town in the early morning is beautiful and peaceful.

The teenager with a sword on his back and the elegant teenager with a book basket next to him are wading to the group behind him. Zhang and his wife, Qin's mother also waved goodbye and watched their children leave their hometown. These adults couldn't help but feel a little wet. Alas, the hearts of parents all over the world can't be made clear in a few words.

The two teenagers have the road ahead, but the world at this time is not as peaceful and beautiful as imagined. Waiting for them will not be a smooth journey.

Facing the ray of sunshine in the morning, Qin Tian and Boqing gradually left their hometown and walked to the unknown front.
