Exploring the Entertainment Circle [Ancient and Modern]

That dream that Yan Tan had that night.Start with a distinctive building.

Dreaming of a library building: three stories high, gray tiles and red walls, fine columns, and high eaves.

Standing outside this library building, he could see through the pillars and open windows that there were rows of tall bookshelves inside, piled up in different categories like hills of collections of scriptures and histories.

Yan Dan has been to many places since he was a child, because of his interests, business trips or occasional passing.The famous historic buildings in the motherland have basically been visited.So it can be recognized at a glance in the dream: this is the only palace left by the Great Chu, a building in the style of Yinghua Palace.

The Yinghua Palace is located in the capital of the Hua Kingdom today, and has now become a lively tourist attraction.In order to avoid damage to the ancient buildings, the huge Yinghua Palace was not fully opened.When Yan Dan went to visit, he only walked one-third of the place.There was no way to enter this library.

But in the dream, there were no tourists and no security personnel around, so Yan Tan entered from the front of Zangshuge unobstructed.Along the way, he glanced at the neatly stacked, wide-faced thick ancient books one by one, and opened one from time to time, and found that it was full of printed content in traditional Chinese characters, movable type, and even stone carvings.

Yan Tan walked for about a stick of incense before reaching the middle of this book collection pavilion. According to his visual inspection, there are more than [-] books in the library.

It was a quiet place with a smell of fine dust, and there was no one around.Yan Tan suddenly saw Tao Qingfeng leaning against the bookshelf with his back to him.

Seen from the back, Tao Qingfeng was wearing a Da Chu official uniform.The blue straight skirt can more clearly set off his thin waist, and even the protruding shoulder blades can be seen.

Yan Tan couldn't help thinking: how thin he is.

When Yan Tan walked to the side, he realized that Tao Qingfeng had fallen asleep in a posture half leaning against the bookshelf.

His head was resting on the beam in the middle where the bookshelves were connected. Looking from the back, one side of his body was close to the columns of the bookshelf filled with books, and his feet were still standing straight.

Without turning to the front, who would have noticed that he closed his eyes and fell asleep in a standing position?

In the dream, Yan Tan definitely knew what was going on - Tao Qingfeng had been reading books here for three days.

After the Ministry of Officials inspected the first selection, Master Cui Mingqi, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, really admired Tao Qingfeng's talent, and lent him the waist badge for entering and leaving the Wenhua Palace for three days. If you have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the office areas of the six departments, you will not find the wrong place to do business in the future.

After Tao Qingfeng spent half a day going to the places he should go, he stayed in the library of the Wenhua Palace, devouring the compilation of the Daxing Dynasty. All the engraved books were lost in the war, only the library of the Yinghua Palace The only set of "Qige Quanshu" preserved here.

"Qige Quanshu" has more than 400 volumes, which can be regarded as a compilation of all official books or compiled lost books before the Daxing Dynasty.There are many kinds.There are more than 60 sub-categories of classics and history subsets.This is a huge project that took 20 years in the Daxing Dynasty. After the book was completed, thousands of people were recruited to copy it, but in the end, only a complete set was left after the war.It was collected by the Dachu State Treasury and placed in the library. Only six official officials are eligible to consult it.It is usually managed by the Imperial College.

Ordinary people have no way to read this series of books.This is why Tao Qingfeng would rather not sleep, but also want to spend as much time as possible to read books.Since he was young, he has learned about the value of "Qige Quanshu" from his teacher. There are many rare books, unique books, secret books, forbidden books, inscriptions, embroidered statues, stone carvings, handwritten copies, fragments and other representative publications. Recordings are simply not available elsewhere.

When Tao Qingfeng came in, he had a few buns in his arms.There are well water and Gongfang in the library.He hasn't been out since he came in.In the end, he fell asleep standing up.

In his dream, Yan Tan didn't pat Tao Qingfeng on the shoulder, but turned to him and looked at him carefully.An Ran's closed eyebrows and long eyelashes were fixed, as if a slight touch would destroy this tranquil beauty.

After watching for a while, Yan Tan still felt that he should wake up Tao Qingfeng, as standing in this position for a long time would be very uncomfortable.

However, when Yan Dan stretched out his hand gently - he couldn't tell whether it was out of intention or an uncontrollable action in a dream - Tao Qingfeng didn't wake up, and Yan Dan's hand didn't intend to "slap" , but "take back".

Even though Yan Tan felt very strange at that moment, the sleeve he stretched out his hand was a wide sleeve in an ancient costume, it looked like valuable silk, and the neckline was trimmed with silver thread.

But in the dream, he had no time to pay attention to logical doubts, he took everything for granted—as if he knew what would happen next: he lightly touched Tao Qingfeng's shoulder and swept back, Tao Qingfeng didn't wake up as expected, Due to long hours of fatigue, hunger and stiff standing posture, he suddenly fell into Yan Tan's arms.

Deliberately, Yan Tan firmly caught it.

Then Yan Tan heard the voice coming out of his own mouth, it was very soft, but obviously it was a clearer and younger voice, with a satisfied smile——

"I got it. Tsk, it's so annoying."

In the slightly constricted tone, there was full confidence that Tao Qingfeng would not wake up.

Yan Tan put one hand on Tao Qingfeng's shoulder.This is still a very pure posture.But the other hand was locked in Tao Qingfeng's waist, the sunken area.One hand was able to wrap most of his waist around him, and the ring was very tight, which caused what he called a "sharp" feeling in the hand.

Even though he held his hand tightly, he didn't want to let go.In her dream, Yan Tan held him in this position for a few minutes without moving.

But this posture is not easy to move after all, and it seems too ostentatious if you want to hug someone sideways.

Of course, Yan Tan couldn't distinguish these things in the dream for a while, whether he actively produced these consciousnesses in the dream, or he was just a bystander, passively experiencing these things from the perspective of the person in the dream.

The only thing that is not in doubt is that when he hugged Tao Qingfeng, the joy and satisfaction that surged in his heart were truly revealed from the bottom of his heart.

Yan Tan looked at his hands protruding from his wide sleeves, a pair of white jade-like hands with slender fingers and well-defined joints. On the knuckles and the base of the wrist, however, there are calluses formed by long-term writing.

But when he hugged Tao Qingfeng's waist, he felt that he was very strong - of course there was also a reason, Tao Qingfeng was too thin.

The white hand stretching across Tao Qingfeng's waist was as straight as a sword, as if cut off at the waist, in a flowing state.

Tao Qingfeng seemed to have finally awakened his unawakened consciousness.

In the dream, Yan Dan gently tilted his head to Tao Qingfeng's ear, stared at the soft white jade earlobe, finally averted his gaze, and whispered to him, the other party was in a coma, and Inaudible words:

"Next time. You always know."

Then Yan Dan hurriedly walked in the opposite direction of Zangshu Pavilion, trying to hide the back of his robe in the corner before Tao Qingfeng opened his eyes in bewilderment...

Then, from the corner, with the casual strolling style of "casually just strolling here", the cloud is calm and the wind is light, and nothing has happened, and she walks slowly.

In the dream, Yan Tan heard himself, pretending to be surprised, walked over, and said: "Brother Guangchuan."

Tao Qingfeng rubbed his eyes, and after seeing clearly where he was, the moment of bewilderment was immediately covered by a gentle smile.

Tao Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yan."

Yan Tan was a little confused at that moment, but this time Tao Qingfeng's voice was clear and he could hear it clearly, calling "Yan" instead of "Yan".

But Yan Tan in the dream couldn't follow her own will to find out the violation.Another self seemed to wake up in his body, and it was so natural to talk to Tao Qingfeng.

"What a coincidence." Yan Dan said so deliberately. "I actually met brother Guangchuan here."

But I know that this is not a chance encounter.Cui Langzhong from the Ministry of Rites borrowed Tao Qingfeng's waist card for three days, and the other party will definitely be here to read "Qige Quanshu".

He wanted to see Tao Qingfeng, so he came.

However, Tao Qingfeng obviously thought it was a chance encounter. After all, Cui Langzhong, who lent his waist card, made Tao Qingfeng keep a low profile.

Tao Qingfeng's expression became a little nervous: "Brother Yan, please keep it a secret. Master Cui lent me the waist card."

Yan Dansheng is also a candidate for the Ministry of Rites, so the boss should give him some face.

Who knows who is giving face to whom, Yan Dansheng asked Cui Langzhong about Tao Qingfeng, and the other party explained everything about Tao Qingfeng, his thoughts on Tao Qingfeng's future official career, and the secret matter of lending his waist card. It's all said by pouring beans from bamboo tubes.

After all, he is the legitimate son of Duke Yan's mansion.He performed so brilliantly in the palace examination.Don't look at the officials who are still waiting for the election, after three to five years after entering the Ministry of Rites, they will be able to be promoted faster than their civilian-born courtiers who have worked for 20 years.

Cui Lang thought in his heart that in his lifetime, the doctor will be promoted to Yuanwailang, and Yuanwailang will be promoted to be a servant. It should be hopeless to reach the step of being a servant.Before he became an official, Yan Dansheng, who was smart, talented and well-connected, would most likely become his boss in the end.

As for Tao Qingfeng... he is lucky, he has been an official for 30 years without any major mistakes, he can be a little bit better than himself, and he can achieve the position of third-rank servant.After all, there are only three in Yijia.Back then, I was only a second-class Jinshi...

These considerations, the two people present were ignorant, Yan Dansheng smiled and said to Tao Qingfeng: "What are you worried about, I also slipped in?"

Tao Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Yan Dansheng also needed someone else's badge to enter the Wenhua Palace, and immediately showed a look of sudden realization: "Brother Yan...it's okay."

Duke Yan, General Yan, General Yan Zhonglang, and so many new forces of the Yan family, probably have a stack of cards for Yan Dansheng to play with.Even if he didn't dare to ask his father to borrow it, any brother or uncle would lend it to him.

Yan Dan was born to go in and out of these places, maybe he got used to it since he was a child, it was like digging into his own backyard.

Tao Qingfeng thought to himself: Yan Dansheng is of course different from himself.He secretly raised his eyebrows.

However, in the dream, Yan Tan didn't let the gloomy expression flash across Tao Qingfeng's face, he deliberately sighed, and said in a tone almost complaining:

"It's so far here, I'm a little hungry. Brother Guangchuan, do yourself a favor and let's go eat together."

In fact, it was Tao Qingfeng who was so hungry that he could hardly walk.Hearing what the other person said, I immediately felt a strong desire for food in my stomach.

It was precisely because Yan Dansheng knew about it that he proposed to eat.

However, Tao Qingfeng thought it was a coincidence.Although this kind of coincidence is very much in line with his wishes.

Find something to fill your belly.Meeting Yan Dansheng by chance made him very happy.

Tao Qingfeng felt that it was amazing, every time he saw Yan Tansheng, he had reason to be happy.As everyone knows, many reasons to be happy are not just coincidences.

Yan Tan still wanted to continue walking, to see what he and Tao Qingfeng went to eat, and then, he heard a rush of "jingle bells", and woke up from his dream, being pulled by the alarm clock.

After Yan Tan woke up, she didn't have the normal state of not being able to remember clearly the dream scene, and it was becoming more and more blurred, but all the details were clearly vivid in her eyes and vivid in her mind.

The feeling was so real that he was surprised.Among them, the details that can be recalled include Da Chu's uniform on Tao Qingfeng.

After the men of Dachu have performed the crown ceremony, they use hairpins to coil the hair on the top of their heads and pass through the crown button on the top of their heads.But it's not like the later Dazhao Dynasty, who put all his hair up.The men of the Great Chu Dynasty were "semi-distributed" beam crowns.

Tao Qingfeng wore long hair, a simple wooden hairpin pierced through the top of his head, and two ribbons were floating behind the jade button.

He was wearing the low-level civil servant uniform of Da Chu.Da Chu Shangqing, official costumes are mainly green, and low-level civil servants are snow-blue, and they all use bird patterns to indicate rank.The oriole embroidered on Tao Qingfeng's body was the pattern of civil officials of the seventh and eighth ranks.

Yan Dan thought, it must be that after watching the trailer of "Queen of Guining", he was deeply impressed by Xiaotao's ancient costumes.Among the dynasties, the court clothes with the most gentlemanly temperament must be due to the Great Chu Dynasty.

Maybe I can suggest Xiaotao to act in some ancient costume dramas with a big Chu background in the future, the appearance will be very beautiful.

In my dream, I fabricated it, and Tao Qingfeng became an ancient person, creating a chance encounter in a library.It is also very logical, thinking clearly about the details that were not shown in the dream - for example, dreaming of Tao Qingfeng as a student from a poor family but hardworking, who was hand-picked in the palace examination and assigned to the bureau Waiting for Shuan Xuan, the Hongwen Bureau of the Ministry of Rites is particularly optimistic about him, and Tao Qingfeng also likes those books...

As for himself, Yan Tan dreamed that he was a son of the Duke's family who was famous for his food, and he was in the same class as Tao Qingfeng, and he was also waiting for the selection in the Ministry of Officials. You can meet many foreign envoys, and you can also teach the ministers how to behave in front of the imperial court. How interesting...

But in the dream, the relationship between himself and Tao Qingfeng, the dream is that we often see each other and appreciate each other, but we are always a little away from friends.Tao Qingfeng didn't seem to dare to get close to him, and he was also cautiously concerned about his self-esteem...

So I called him "Brother Guangchuan", but he never called himself by his nickname, only called himself "Brother Yan".

Wait, Yan Tan thought, why did his surname change to "Yan"?

Surname Yan?Big Chu?Yan Tan felt that there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he didn't think about it for a while, and it flashed in his mind like a thread.

Another point that made him feel so real that he felt a little ashamed was the feeling of hugging Tao Qingfeng in his dream.Because he had indeed hugged Tao Qingfeng twice before, he knew his weight, softness and... the outline of his waistline.

For this reason, Yan Tan regards this dream as his imagination after being influenced by reality.Is it because I carried Xiao Tao back to bed in the bathroom yesterday that I had such a dream?

In the dream, while Tao Qingfeng was sleeping next to the bookshelf, he even hugged him tightly by the waist. What kind of appeal is this?Even though he had woken up from the dream, he still blushed a little when he thought of that scene.

Immediately, he was taken aback by himself again, and thought inconceivably: I finally, finally will "blush and heartbeat"?To someone?Really produced, "heartbeat" this kind of reaction?

He collected himself, and secretly said to himself, don't make a conclusion so early, maybe it's just a kind of stress...a kind of physiological aspect, all animals have nerves...

Although Yan Tan knew it well, even if it was a physiological reaction, it was very... rare for him.

Could it be that he calmed down about Xiaotao... Yan Dan, no, he must have thought too much.It is because when holding Xiaotao, some kind of warm memory is produced in the body, and Chuer has a short-term affection for someone, which will be like catkins in the sunset or in the thin air, something that is short-lived and ambiguous.However, that kind of thing, quickly, went out like a flash of fireworks.Although it was a wonderful experience, it was also very short-lived.In a person's life, there will be many times this kind of wonderful feeling that the wind can't catch, but it did exist.

Yan Tan put on his clothes and got out of bed to wash. When he entered the living room, Tao Qingfeng had already got up.

Tao Qingfeng can sit up from the bed by himself today.But I still couldn't make breakfast, so I sat in the living room and read the "Record of Major Events in Chong'an in 36 Years", which has 180 volumes and is divided into three volumes.

Tao Qingfeng wanted to see Yan Dansheng in more detail, including the record that he became the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, but he saw something that puzzled him.
