The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 165: Going up the tall building alone
The night in Chang'an is colorful.

This was a scene that Liu Sheng had never seen before.

After eating and drinking, Liu Sheng saw that they were all reminiscing about the past in groups of three or four, so he walked to the terrace of the box, leaned on the railing, looked out into the distance, and breathed in some fresh air.

Oh, Ling Xiaoshu is also next to them.

"Sister, I feel so tired listening to them talking."

"Yeah, I'm tired too."

"But will you become such a person? If you pass the imperial examination, will you become like that Brother Jiang?"

After Ling Xiaoshu went to elementary school, his whole cognition changed. Moreover, as a rare tree species in the universe, his foundation was not bad, and he had a strong learning ability, so he finally understood many things.

"Oh? What kind of person do you think Brother Jiang is?" Liu Sheng was a little surprised that Ling Xiaoshu could judge people.

"Well... it's so fake, like I'm wearing a mask."

Liu Sheng thought for a while and said, "No way? I don't think I can become like that."

"That's good." Ling Xiaoshu said seriously with a straight face.

Liu Sheng chuckled and touched her head.

"What are you laughing at so happily?" Wang Dongdong's voice came from behind, and then he leaned on the railing with her.

Liu Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Nothing, just thinking of some happy things."

Wang Dongdong sighed softly and looked back. The terrace was a little distance away from the box, so whispers should not be heard.

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?" Liu Sheng knew that Wang Dongdong felt bad, so he comforted him.

"I haven't seen them for so long that I almost forgot about their bad habits."

"Not all of them, right?" Liu Sheng hinted.

"Yes, Sister Shao Yan, the soft persimmon is good. Jing Hao is actually a good person, but he doesn't talk much and has a cold face."

Then Wang Dongdong said in annoyance: "I used to think Brother Cai Zhi was pretty good, but I don't know why, he has become a little different."

Liu Sheng shook his head. Maybe he hadn’t changed, he just showed his true self more unscrupulously.

Wang Dongdong wanted to say something, but someone came towards the terrace, so they both stopped talking.

"Dongdong, you're finally back." The voice was low but gentle. It was Shao Yan.

She also followed Wang Dongdong and Liu Sheng, leaning against the railing and looking at the bright lights and night life in Chang'an.

"Sister Shao Yan... do you also think I'm willful?" Wang Dongdong felt a little aggrieved.

"No, I understand you." Shao Yan shook her head and said softly.

Her eyes were bright as she looked straight at Wang Dongdong, "You have your own ideas and decisions, which are different from ours."

"Sometimes I think, I should be like you, walk out of Chang'an and take a look, maybe I won't be as miserable as I am now." Shao Yan lowered her long eyelashes, covering her bright eyes, and also hiding the regret in her eyes.

"Sister Shao Yan, isn't the General Administration of Weaving good?" Wang Dongdong finally understood.

"Alas, 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 puzzled look, she took the initiative to explain, "I am not from an official family. It's just that my family is engaged in business and has a little wealth."

Liu Sheng nodded and finally understood why Shao Yan seemed a little out of tune with the others. The most obvious thing was that she was rarely humble and low-key.

After all, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the last.

In the Tang Dynasty, this rule was still followed even after the first year of the divine revelation.

Therefore, Wen Weilan would not have done business if he had not been desperate. Although doing business does not bring power or class status, at least he has spiritual essence in his hands.

Just look at Shao Yan and you will know that resources can be invested to support her to move up and finally take the imperial examination to become an official.

Liu Sheng himself can be considered as having relied on Miss Wen to support his studies until now.

If it were her old self, she would probably have saved money to get to Chang'an and then travel around.

Shao Yan saw that Liu Sheng's expression didn't change much, as if she didn't care about her background. But after thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing. After all, Liu Sheng's family was a hundred thousand times more humble than hers.

"I'm sorry, everything was so chaotic just now that I didn't welcome you sincerely." Shao Yan said apologetically to Liu Sheng.

"It doesn't matter. I'm the uninvited guest." Liu Sheng said seriously, "Who is treating us this time?"

"Why are you asking this? This was a plan set up by Jiang Caizhi and Caibin." Shao Yan said.

So Liu Sheng gave up the idea of ​​giving money.

"Shouldn't Mr. Jiang avoid suspicion?" Liu Sheng thought of their previous rejection.

Shao Yan smiled: "I should avoid suspicion, but I haven't seen Dongdong for a long time, so I wanted to get together."

"I may not be free next time. Brother Jiang is busy with the imperial examination, and you guys are going to take part in it, so this is a rare opportunity." She explained again.

Wang Dongdong was a little angry: "You said you were going to get together, but you kept being sarcastic to me."

"But Jiang Caibin was a little angry when you left in a hurry..." Shao Yan said in a low voice, looking back at the box, "Hey, where did Xiaobin go?"

Before talking about someone behind their back, make sure they are there, otherwise it will be embarrassing if someone hears you.

Wang Dongdong didn't care at all: "Maybe he went to relieve himself." Then he said angrily, "Why is he angry?"

Shao Yan was a little amused: "You can't think of it at all?"

"What can't you think of?" Wang Dongdong looked confused.

Shao Yan chuckled, it seemed that he hadn't figured it out yet. Well, that guy wasn't a good match either.

At the same time, Liu Sheng also smiled beside Wang Dongdong.

Their eyes met, and they knew they had the same idea.

"Come to think of it... I always feel that your name is somewhat familiar, but what about the 'Sheng' in 'Shengxiao'?" Shao Yan suddenly remembered something.

Liu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, remembering that Wen Weilan had said that someone in the Weaving Administration was keeping an eye on him.

"Yes, it may be a popular name."

"It's not very popular, but I can't remember where I heard it. Let me think about it." Shao Yan frowned and tried to recall.

The conversation between the two ended here, after all, they had just met.

Therefore, Liu Sheng deliberately moved away, leaving Shao Yan and Wang Dongdong to chat privately, and just stood aside silently looking outside the building.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the dim light downstairs and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

Although she had only seen it once, it was enough to leave a deep impression on her.

Because that appearance was the best among all the men she had ever seen, even someone as face-blind as her could remember it clearly.

There were two women accompanying him. From a distance, they seemed to have graceful figures and extraordinary temperaments. In addition, they were dressed in luxurious clothes. They must be noble ladies from the capital.

Wang Dongdong and Shao Yan were close by, and when they heard Liu Sheng's voice, they were curious about why she reacted that way, so they followed her gaze.

"It's him!" Shao Yan opened her eyes wide and said in sudden realization.

"The proud son of heaven who is now famous in the capital, Wen Xuanning."
