Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Longmen opens old friends reunite

The banquet lasted from noon to sunset, and the host and guests had a good time.

Except for Qi Yan, everyone else was blinded by alcohol.

Seeing that it was almost done, Xie An waved his hand casually again, and the two rows of servants filed in again.

They all held trays covered with red silk, and Xie An stood up: "It is a great blessing in life to make friends through literature. This is a little wish from Brother Yu, I hope to accept it."

The red silk was pulled away in a hurry, and someone gasped, and the venue became quiet again.

More than a dozen trays were lined with white money, which was money that most people in the Wei country would never be able to earn in their lifetime!

Xie An spoke again: "Here is some money, which should be enough for you virtuous brothers to travel around the capital, and please don't refuse."

……

The second round of the banquet started, Qi Yan said: "It's getting late, I'm afraid I won't be able to see because of my eyesight" and left Xie's residence.

She was walking back with a heavy silver on her back, savoring what Xie An said before giving the silver.

The word "walking" is thought-provoking, Xie An's words are to some extent the words of the emperor's third son Nan Gongwang.

So what does the prince want to get from these poor students by personally coming forward?Or what purpose do you want to achieve through these people?

Fun, fun.

The court of Wei State stands like a high mountain in front of Qi Yan's eyes, but even though she has the fame of Jie Yuan, she is still just like a mayfly.

If you can get the "blue eyes" of the prince, at least ten years of time can be saved.

Since Qi Yan returned to the small courtyard, she has closed the door to thank guests. After all, the big exam is just around the corner, and years of planning and hard work will be empty talk if they are not awarded the gold medal.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the capital also has a heavy snowfall, and the streets and alleys are filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

But at the end of this year, a murder case happened, which not only alarmed Ying Tianfu, but also brought trouble to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Speaking of which, this matter is also related to Qi Yan.

What is the most indispensable thing under the feet of the emperor in the capital city?Officer!and descendants of these officials.

Because Nangong Rang was born as a literati, there are a lot of elegant people in the gentry class in Wei State. At the end of the year, the best gifts are precious calligraphy, paintings and ancient books.

The shopkeeper of the study who sold the works of Lay Shepherd Shepherd on behalf of her was moved to a wrong mind when she saw that the first work was sold at a high price.

He only framed one of the two works sent by Qi Yan for the second time, and hung it in the most conspicuous place in the study for a month.

He would tell everyone who had bids: Layman Shepherd's calligraphy is rare in the world. Apart from the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" poster that he intends to use as a family heirloom, there is only this one in the whole study.Due to too many buyers, an auction was held on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the highest price won.

Originally, the shopkeeper just wanted to increase the price, so that he could spend more money to live a comfortable new year.

Qi Yan's handwriting is far from reaching the point where it is hard to find, it can only be said that her handwriting is unmatched among her peers, even better than many people in their thirties.But if you compare it with the real calligraphers, you can still easily distinguish the superior ones.

After all, she is only 17 years old, after all, she still lacks the temper that has been honed over the years.

But it is more than enough to deceive those young masters who have nothing in common, but these people are most curious and easy to compare.

As a result, many people came to the auction day, and the price soared to 350 taels.

There were two people who bid the most fiercely, one was Lv Kuang, the youngest son of the Qing family in Taichang Temple, and the other was Jiang Wei, the second son of Yin Tian Fu Yin.This painting was finally picked up by Lu Kuang at a sky-high price of 400 taels of silver.

At this point, the matter should have come to an end, but the news that Lu Kuang was killed came out the next day.

It turned out that after Lu Kuang won the calligraphy, he humiliated Jiang Wei with words, and the servants on both sides fought violently. During the melee, Lu Kuang was hit on the head with a sap and died.

Jiang Wei was taken into custody by the Ministry of Punishment, awaiting the Spring Trial, and Muyang Layman became famous because of this...

Every day, people made a special trip to the study to appreciate the masterpieces of Shepherd Layman, and the three brothers came early this morning.

Ever since Nangong Jingnv went out of the house in disguise for the first time, she has been deeply attracted by the people in the market, and has been arguing for Nangong Shunv to take her out all day long.

The two hadn't gone out for a long time since they were knocked out by Lu Zhongxing last time.

Today, Lu Zhongxing took a rest and offered to protect the two princesses for fun.Nangong Shunv saw that this move was the acquiescence of her father, and she agreed with her heart sour.

Nangong Jingnv was very happy, she held Nangong Shunv's hand, and called sweetly from time to time: "Second brother." It was really like three brothers.

"Brother, is this the place you said?"

Lu Zhongxing nodded: "Well, it is said that there is still an authentic painting of Shepherd Layman hanging in the study."

"Then let's go in quickly."

"it is good."

The three of them entered the study, and Lu Zhongxing asked: "Shopkeeper, I heard that you have a "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" here?"

The shopkeeper stopped fiddling with the abacus, and heaved a long sigh: "If the three gentlemen want to choose books, please do it yourself, and don't mention the others."

"Why?" Nangong Jingnv asked.

Nangong Shunv squeezed her younger sister's hand: "Jing'er, let's go."

Lu Zhongxing took out an ingot of broken silver and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand, and said with a smile: "My two younger brothers just want to have a quick look at it, and they will never cause you any trouble, so please help me?"

The shopkeeper held the money and looked at the three of them: "So, please follow the old man."

The shopkeeper led the three of them to the inner room: "Please, three."

"Second brother, let's go in!" Nangong Jingnv happily pulled Nangong Shunv into the door, and saw the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" at a glance.

"Huh?" Nangong Jingnv exclaimed, tilting her head to look at her sister: Isn't this written by the person who gave her the fan?Does my sister know Shepherd Shepherd?

Nangong Shunv opened her mouth, her heart was pounding when she saw the familiar handwriting.

Before my eyes flashed the free and easy appearance of Gong Yanghuai sitting by the stream, drinking wine and composing poems.A faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks involuntarily.

Nangong Shunv bit her lips: The famous shepherd layman could be him!

"He, why did he..."

"Who?" Lu Zhongxing who came in last asked.

Nangong Shunv shook her head: "It's nothing." Although the work in front of her was deliberately suppressed, Nangong Shunv still recognized it.I just have some doubts: the big exam is coming soon, why should Gong Yanghuai sell calligraphy because of his family background?

Could it be... he has something to hide, or some other purpose?

"Brother, this word..."

Nangong Shunv's heart skipped a beat, and she squeezed her younger sister's hand hard.

"what happened?"

Nangong Jingnv blinked: "I like it very much."

Nangongshu let out a long breath, if Lu Zhongxing knew the identity of Shepherd Muyang, she might cause trouble for Gongyanghuai.

Lu Zhongxing did not doubt that he was there, and coaxed with a smile: "Since this writing is hung here alone, I am afraid it is the treasurer's favorite, let's take a look."

Nangong Jingnv tilted her head to look at her sister, when she saw the flash of light in Nangong Shunv's eyes: secretly made a decision.

The end of the new year is approaching, Nangong made a decree to recall the two sisters back to the palace.

That afternoon Nangong Rang went to Weiyang Palace to visit his beloved daughter in person. The father and daughter had been in a stalemate for a long time because of leaving the palace. They had forgotten Nangong Jingnv for more than a month.

From a long distance away, she rushed over with the hem of the palace dress: "Father~."

Nangong Rangmanyan kindly opened his arms and hugged Nangong Jingnv: "My son is heavy."

Nangong Jingnv twisted her body and broke free from her embrace: "Father, my daughter has grown up!"

Nangong Rang laughed loudly: "Yes, in a blink of an eye my son is already a slim girl."

After speaking, Nangong let out a barely audible sigh, thinking of his wife who died young: Yujin, did you see that?Our daughter has grown up.

"After the palace examination, it will be my son's 14th birthday, and my father plans to give you a big gift."

"What is it?"

"You go down first."

"Here."

Nangong Rang looked deeply, and said with a half smile: "How about selecting a consort with both talent and appearance for you?"

Nangong Jingnv's fair cheeks were stained with a rosy pink, and she stomped her feet: "Father, if you say such things again, my daughter will ignore you!"

If it was usual, Nangong Rang would definitely change the subject along with his daughter.But today he said seriously: "Could it be that my father was right? My son has someone he likes?"

"Father!"

"That means it's gone?"

Nangong Jingnv let out a coquettish snort, and ran away angrily holding up her skirt.

Nangong Rang stared at the back of Nangong Jingnu: Father, I will definitely give you the best...

After dinner, Nangong Jingnv asked Nangong Rang for an unprecedented thing: the "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription" by Shepherd Shepherd. She couldn't forget the excited eyes of her sister when she saw it.

Nangong Rang readily agreed, asked for the address of the study, and sent someone out of the palace with money to do it.

On March [-]rd, the Dragon Gate opens.

The curtain of the Chunwei Examination slowly opened.

Students who have been in the cold window for ten years can show their ambitions as long as they skip this door.

Before dawn, Gong Yanghuai hurried to the examination room.

Although he has been grounded for the past few months, he has always been thinking about Qi Yan.

Gong Yanghuai stood on the steps with the cage on his back and looked up, until the gate of the examination institute was about to open, and finally saw the old friend who had been missing.

Qi Yan was wearing a crescent-white school uniform, a water-blue blouse, a crown of the same color on his head, and walked from a distance with a cage on his back.

Gongyang Huai was overjoyed, jumped down the steps and strode toward Qi Yan.

Seeing Gong Yanghuai, Qi Yan quickened his pace to meet him: "Bai Shi, don't come here without any harm."

It has been three years since they first met, and both of them are dead.

Gongyanghuai's facial features have lost their childishness, and his stature is like that of a grown man.When they first met, they were about the same height, but now they are half a head taller than Qi Yan.

Fortunately, although Qi Yan is a daughter, she is half of grassland blood. Even if she is not as tall as an adult man, she is still taller than a Wei woman.

Gong Yanghuai stopped in his tracks, pulled Qi Yan's arm and pulled him aside: "Is Tie Zhu angry with me?"
