The Romance of the West Chamber: The Bells are Ringing

Zhang Gong listened to Cui Yingying's worries conveyed by the piano boy. He held the hosta that Cui Yingying asked the piano boy to send tightly in his hand. He stared at the hosta with a myriad of thoughts.

He said: "Hey, little lady, you still don't understand my thoughts. I am not one of those literati who are obsessed with looking for flowers and willows. I only have you in my heart. Since I met you, I have only you and no one else in my heart." .”

Qintong shook his head slightly and thought: "It's okay if you go back and tell Cui Yingying. If you tell me, then I don't know?"

But seeing Zhang Gong's confused expression, it seemed that he was seriously lovesick and couldn't move his limbs. The anxiety and expectation in his heart made him unable to calm down. He eagerly looked forward to seeing Cui Yingying again, hoping to gain her understanding and acceptance.

Zhang Gongshi, on the other hand, had a bright mirror in his mind. He knew that becoming the number one scholar in high school could not be achieved by relying on his own talents. The forces behind him were intertwined into a huge net, tightly binding his fate.

His grandfather had accumulated countless connections during his tenure as the Minister of Rites, and those noble families who held power in the court were all those his grandfather had worked with. And his sworn brother Du Que, who holds military power and is powerful, played a key role in promoting his high school championship.

Otherwise, if the gentry controlled the government, why should Zhang Gong be the number one scholar?

"Jun Rui, you won the top prize this time not just because of your outstanding talent and learning." Zhang Gong still remembered that when Du Que came to the capital to meet with him not long ago, his deep eyes revealed a warning.

"The situation in the DPRK is complicated, and the noble clans control the government. They will not easily let a person from a poor family rise to prominence. This time you were able to get the top prize in high school because of your grandfather's past and I helped you open up the relationship behind the scenes. But you must You must understand that this relationship is based on interests and power. You must cherish this opportunity and work harder to hone yourself."

What's more, the sworn brother Du Que had already revealed the engagement between Zhang Gong and Mrs. Cui Xiangguo's daughter, intentionally or unintentionally.

Only then did the members of the noble family look at him with admiration. Then it is even more important to hold on to the Cui family's thighs and cling firmly to the noble family.

Zhang Gong thought at this time: "Little lady, when you see this hosta, will you think of me? Will you understand my feelings for you? I am a wanderer, but I only have you in my heart. I hope to get yours." Respond."

He recalled every encounter with Cui Yingying, that gentle smile and delicate talents that he could not forget. He thought: "Yingying, why do you make me miss you so much? You make me miss you day and night, and I can't forget you."

His heart was filled with thoughts and expectations for Cui Yingying. He thought: "One day, when His Majesty grants me an official position, I can see you again and feel your gentleness and talent again."

Zhang Gong said: "Dog, no, Zong Dan, pack these clothes."

Seeing that the piano boy agreed to find a place to put it, he took the trouble to give instructions: "Dog, no, Zongdan, you put a rattan box in the study and put a few pieces of paper inside the box. You must put it carefully and don't let the rattan thorns. I grabbed the cotton silk. Hang it high on a hanger for fear of losing the color, and wrap it randomly in a bag for fear of getting wrinkled. You must take good care of it and don't be careless."

Qintong smiled slightly, thinking that Zhang Gong finally missed Cui Yingying, which also fulfilled the matchmaker. In order for the matchmaker sister to get rid of her slave status as soon as possible, she should help him if she can. There is no harm in listening to his irritating words.

Zhang Gong said again: "I miss my newlyweds and came here for fame. I miss the Pujiu Temple in Chang'an and Pudong. The peach and plum blossoms bloomed in the spring breeze last night, and the leaves of the sycamore trees fell in the autumn rain today. I am so sad, my body is far away and my heart is close. , sit and think while walking."

Seeing that Qin Tong was focused on packing his clothes and did not respond, he sighed again: "The sky is so kind, until the sea dries up and the rocks are broken, when will I stop thinking about it now? There will be no tears in my eyes until the candles are ashes, and silkworms will give up in my heart. I am no better than wandering. The frivolous son, the harp and harp of the frivolous couple, the male and female of the phoenix."

Hearing Zhang Gong's sorrow, Qintong felt a little sympathetic in his heart, and turned around and said: "Mr. Lang, don't worry, you are now the number one scholar in the new subject, and the Holy Emperor will grant you a high official soon, and then you can be reunited with my little lady." .”

Zhang Gong nodded and said: "Hey, if you can't hear the sound of the yellow dog, it's hard to pass on the red leaf poem. The postmaster didn't meet the plum blossom envoy. He traveled three thousand miles alone and returned home at twelve o'clock in one day. Watch from the railing and listen to the mighty sound of the river. Look at the varied colors of the mountains.”

After a pause, he added: "Fortunately, although I am sad during my illness, it is really joyful for you to come here. Fortunately, you brought the fascinating letter written by Zhuo Wenjun, otherwise, it would really be You have to risk the death of Sima Xiangru, another Sima Xiangru who suffers from ghost disease."

The piano boy turned around, rolled his eyes, and sneered in his heart: "Hey, what a bookworm!"

In the dead of night, Zhang Gong held Cui Yingying's letter in his hands, tossed and turned on the bed, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

The door of Zhang Gong's house opened slightly with a creak, and a dark figure looked around behind the crack. When he saw no one around, he ducked out.

The black figure was dressed in black night clothes, with his face covered, only his eyes exposed. He quickly clung to the wall and ran toward the palace in the shadows.

In the imperial palace, in the Yanying Hall, Tang Dezong Li Shizheng was embracing a beloved concubine. The two of them cuddled up on the warm couch, surrounded by the scent of agarwood stove. The beloved concubine nestled shyly in Li Shi's arms. The two talked sweetly and kissed from time to time.

Li Shi smiled and said, "My beloved concubine is so beautiful. I love you so much." He lowered his head and kissed his beloved concubine's red lips, feeling a strong love surge in his heart.

The beloved concubine said softly in her heart: "Your Majesty loves me so much, I will serve your Majesty with all my heart." She snuggled tightly in Li Shi's arms, feeling extremely happy and satisfied in her heart.

The two had a deep affection and lingering words. Li Shi stroked his beloved concubine's jade hand and whispered: "My beloved concubine, you are the treasure in my heart, and I will always be with you."

The beloved concubine responded emotionally: "Your Majesty, I will always love your Majesty and accompany you." The eyes of the two people met, and each could feel the deep love for the other.

Li Shi and his beloved concubine spent the night together in the Yanying Hall, surrounded by the aroma of agarwood stoves. Their laughter and deep affection were intertwined on the warm couch.

While Li Shi was working hard on his beloved concubine, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw that the man in black who had appeared before was here again, standing at the head of the bed, looking at the two of them with interest.

Li Shi was shocked and stopped, not daring to move.

The beloved concubine moaned softly under her: "Your Majesty, don't stop! Your Majesty's dragon body is strong, and I still want it!"

Li Shi was so frightened that he lost his mind. The beloved concubine complained a little: "What's wrong with your majesty? How come you can't do it all of a sudden?"

The beloved concubine raised her head and opened her eyes, only to see Li Shi's face was filled with fear, and beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead. She didn't know whether it was because Yun Yu was working too hard or because he was afraid.

Turning his head again, he saw that in the direction Li Shi was looking, there was a masked man in black with his hands on his chest, staring at the two of them, and was so frightened that he couldn't help but scream.

Li Shi reached out and covered his beloved concubine's mouth, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't scream, don't scream, this person will kill us if we scream!"

The beloved concubine was even more frightened. She closed her lips and eyes tightly, tightened her muscles all over her body, and hugged Li Shi tightly, not daring to let go.
