Royal road

A gust of wind blows, the fragrance overflows the room, and the flowers fall one after another. Wang Wen leans on the table and looks at the beautiful scenery outside the window.This is his favorite Meishan courtyard, where plum trees are planted all over the valley.At the end of winter and spring comes, ten miles of plum blossoms are in full bloom, red like fire, pink like rosy clouds, and white plums that are pure and pure, elegant and elegant, making people feel refined.

He is also playing with a white plum in his hand.Bright and clean as a mirror, cold as jade, it is an exquisite porcelain flower.It is rare and white in color, just like new snow, which makes people love it.

Complete with this white plum, there is also a section of green bamboo, a cup of pink lotus, and a branch of orchid.The plum is the paper weight, the bamboo is the pen holder, the lotus is the ink wash, and the orchid is the inkstone drop.They are all new porcelain produced in Liang Mansion, the quality is probably not inferior to that of Yue Kiln, and the shape of the wares is even more unique.The four things of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, together with these four literary toys, are simply pleasing to the eye.

This is a gift from Liang Manor at the time of Zhengdan.And a piece of peach blossom paper, a sentence of New Year greetings, elegant and euphemistic, but also ingenious, can see the full heart of the gift giver.The Wang family is a rich family, a Zhengdan does not know how many relatives and friends he has to visit, and has been annoyed by trivial matters for several days. Seeing such a gift, how can Wang Wen not feel deeply in his heart.

"Lord Lang, the envoy sent by the General's Mansion to deliver the letter is written by Master Gao." Someone outside the door suddenly reported.

Wang Wen frowned unobtrusively: "Let him in."

Sima Teng's master book was a branch of the Chen Liugao clan, and although his background was not very good, he was still a nobleman.But he is good at flattering, he is a vulgar thing.Wang Wen has always disliked this master bookkeeper, and now he sends letters to his door, which is most likely to be an annoyance.But after all, he is a close friend of Sima Teng, if it is not an urgent matter, I am afraid that he will not send someone to deliver the letter to the other courtyard.

After the messenger entered the door respectfully and saluted, Wang Wen put down the plum blossom paperweight and took the letter.However, after just a glance, his complexion sank, and he raised his head and asked, "Did the General's Mansion send the imperial physician a few days ago?"

"Three days ago." The messenger replied hastily.

"Which fool gave Mr. Dong Ying the idea?" No matter how good-tempered Wang Wen was, he couldn't help but sneer.

What was said in the letter made Wang Wen furious.Half a month ago, Sima Teng wanted to enlist Liang Feng as a subordinate of the general's mansion, and sent a recorder to go, but was declined.It was an extremely trivial matter that the conquest was not completed, but who would have thought that he would send an imperial physician to consult Liang Zixi.What kind of system is this? !

No one knows Liang Zixi's illness better than Wang Wen.That was a case of being framed and poisoned by taking arsenic!With such a serious illness, just a visit to Jinyang will hurt his vitality, and he can't do it at all.Sima Teng actually sent the imperial physician, isn't he suspicious that Zixi is pretending to be sick?Such an elegant and gentle character, how could he be so insulted!

This move is really wrong!

However, the anger was only momentary, and Wang Wen understood the deeper meaning.This may also be a hidden danger of the trip to Luoyang.Sima Teng was trapped in Luoyang by accident, but he was in danger for several months, and anyone would feel resentment, and Liang Zixi was the one who initiated the epidemic prevention in Jinyang, so the anger fell on him body.Sima Teng was a headstrong person in the first place, and the change of scolding to expropriation was probably the result of hard work, and if he met Zixi, he would immediately make him behave badly.

Alas, it's always wrong to make it look like this now.Anyway, Sima Teng is also the lord of Bingzhou, Zixi is white, why bother to offend him?It's better to mediate from it and turn hostility into friendship.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Wen said: "You go and report to Master Gao, and I will go to the General's Mansion tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, Wang Wen's answer was so straightforward, the messenger hurriedly kowtowed and withdrew.

The next day.

"Maoshen, why are you returning to Jinyang at this time? I remember that you lived in Meishan Bieyuan in early spring. Please sit down and have a drink with me." Sima Teng was watching the singing and dancing when he saw Wang Wen coming , also did not see outside, invited him to reward.

Ignoring those coquettish dancers, Wang Wen smiled lightly and took a seat at the guest table: "I just came back from Meishan, and I've heard about it, and I'm worried. I'm here to pay a visit to Mr. Dongying."

Unexpectedly, Wang Wen said that as soon as he came, and Sima Teng couldn't help sitting upright: "What makes Mao deeply sad?"

Wang Wen sighed softly: "Naturally, it is a matter of the general's residence. It is really inappropriate to delay the appointment of the imperial physician."

Hearing the word imperial doctor, the smile on Sima Teng's face froze immediately, and he waved his hand to let the group of dancers back down.Cai said: "It's just a white body Tinghou, why bother Lao Mao deeply?"

"Liang Zixi is my best friend. It is because I know him very well that I have to mention some things." Wang Wen solemnly said, "Zixi is like a lonely pine and strong bamboo. The air of decadence, on the contrary, is sassy and graceful. When you meet with it, it is like holding the bright moon in your arms, making people forget the customs."

Unexpectedly, Wang Wen praised Liang Feng as soon as he came up, and Sima Teng's face became even more gloomy: "Why, do you think you are lonely and do not know talents?"

"If Mr. Dongying doesn't know talents, how can he recruit him as a vassal?" Wang Wen shook his head lightly. Tolerating people and forcing famous people to surrender, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the General's Mansion?"

Unexpectedly, what Wang Wen cared about was not Liang Zixi, but his own reputation. The anger on Sima Teng's face eased slightly: "There is no need to worry about this matter. If Liang Zixi is really sick, I will take my life back."

"He is really seriously ill, and he is still poisoned by taking powder." Wang Wen said bluntly.

Sima Teng was taken aback: "How is this possible? Didn't he come to Jinyang to attend the Fa Conference?"

"I saw Zixi for the first time at the Yaji. He was dying of illness, but he still had no charm. He had been in Jinyang for several months after recuperation. No one knew about it, but because of his extraordinary bearing, he didn't look sick. That's all." Wang Wen sighed softly, "As for Zhengbi, I also wanted to promote him to the top rank, but Zixi has no intention of becoming an official. Not only for Duke Dongying, but also for me."

This was beyond Sima Teng's expectation.I didn't expect there to be such a person who doesn't like power in this world, who is like a green lotus.Then what he did, isn't it a joke?

Seeing the hesitation on Sima Teng's face, Wang Wen said again: "The matter has come to this point, only by turning the consultation into a reward and letting people know about Zixi's frailty can we offset others' speculation."

Tossing Liang Feng was really annoyed for a while. He didn't expect Wang Wen to come to the door in person. No matter how much he didn't like that sick child, the Jinyang Wang family was not what he was willing to offend, not to mention the narrow and unforgiving bad comments.Sima Teng hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Since Maoshen said so, let's let go of the matter of the imperial physician."

Wang Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just that, I'm afraid there will still be hidden dangers. Why don't you invite Zixi to Jinyang for a spring outing while Shangsi is here. In this way, all speculations will be self-defeating."

Sima Teng frowned. It's not enough to let that person go, but invite him to Jinyang?

Wang Wen seemed to see the other party's mind, and said with a smile: "Zixi will be able to make a big splash when he comes to Jinyang. Only in this way can a good story be achieved by expropriation and reward. Gao Jue, it should be spread all over the world. Wouldn’t everyone be happy if this is the case?”

Liang Feng is ill and cannot be an official in a short time.Even if you help him become famous, no one else can ask for it.When his condition improves, with the kindness of knowing him, he will be able to recruit again.And this high mountain and flowing water can also help him increase his reputation.Sima Teng finally understood the meaning of Wang Wen's words, and nodded slightly: "It's Maoshen's thoughtfulness."

Seeing the gradually clear expression on Sima Teng's face, Wang Wen also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.As long as Zixi comes to Jinyang, why worry about Sima Teng not being overwhelmed by him.Only with this interaction can the thorns hidden between the two be removed, and Zixi's future official career will naturally be smooth sailing.This is true happiness for all.

The fast horse is galloping, and the arrow feathers are swishing.Horses galloped around the arena one after another, and the knights immediately drew their bows and shot at a row of straw targets on the sidelines of the arena.

This is Liang Mansion cavalry practicing riding and shooting.Riding and archery was originally the unique skill of the Huns, but if you equip the horse with a saddle and bridle, as long as you can control the horse proficiently and stabilize your body, you can shoot the arrow in your hand accurately.Because there was a lot of pasture in exchange, the cavalry team did not stop training in winter, and now the cavalry and archery have looked good.

Another round of rapid shooting, Yiyan frowned, and shouted to the team: "Gulong! Didn't you eat in the morning?!"

Bolong is the team deputy of the cavalry team, and also an old man who has been by Yiyan's side all the time.Hearing this, he scratched his hair in embarrassment: "Yingzheng, I ate the meal, but yesterday happened to be on vacation, and I was squeezed out by the mother-in-law at home..."

Hearing this obscenity, everyone burst into laughter.Yiyan's eyebrows almost reached the corner of his forehead: "One hundred push-ups! Count yourself!"

Hearing this, Gulong grinned, obediently dismounted and began to do push-ups.This thing is still popular in Yiyan. Although the posture is wretched, it really exercises the arm strength.Both cavalry and archers have to practice hard, which has become a means of small punishment.After a hundred, my whole body was really sore and unspeakably uncomfortable.

Yiyan ignored him and continued to order everyone to train.It is not yet the vernal equinox, the days are short and the nights are long and the weather is cold, so there is not enough time to ride a horse during the day.

An hour flies by.All the knights dismounted one after another and began to take care of their beloved horses.Remove the saddle and bridle, brush the hair to the ear, and secretly feed the horse.Yiyan also quickly untied the saddle, ready to take care of the horse and lead it back to the stable.He will go back to the mansion later, if it is before dark, he can still play a game with the lord.

Just as he was brushing his horse quickly, Gu Long sneaked up to him: "Well, Ying Zheng. I have... no, my mother-in-law has something to ask you..."

"What's the matter?" Yi Yan didn't even look at him, and continued with his work.

"Cough, I wonder if Yingzheng plans to marry a wife..." Gulong coughed dryly and asked cheekily.

Yi Yan turned his head abruptly, staring at the Jie man.Stung by this knife-like gaze, Gulong quickly explained: "It's not a messy woman, it's a distant girl from my mother-in-law's family. This year is fifteen, and she is exactly the same age as Huaguduo."

"No plan!" Yi Yan said forcefully.

"Don't!" I didn't expect to be rejected so simply, Gulong couldn't help but said, "Yingzheng, you are not young anymore, and now you have fields and the appreciation of the master. Why don't you start a family and find a woman to take care of you?" What about yourself?"

"I can take care of myself."

Gulong was dumbfounded for a moment, then burst out laughing suddenly: "I'm talking about the kind of 'care'... Uh, Yingzheng, haven't you thought about the woman's soft breasts and slender waist?"

Yiyan paused, and a picture immediately appeared in his mind.The chest is so thin that the ribs can almost be seen, it is not soft enough, but it is absolutely fair, and the two spots are as bright as red cherry blossoms.The hands with thin waists can wrap them around, I am afraid that if I use more strength, I will fold them in my arms...

The brush swayed and pulled the horse's mane. The white-flowered horse immediately neighed, turned its head and bumped its owner.Woke up from being bumped, Yiyan's face turned red all of a sudden, he didn't care about the saddle that was taken off, and got on the horse: "Just take care of yourself!"

Putting these words aside, he galloped his horse towards the village.

Being dusted all over his face, Ben Long blinked his eyes.Wait, he seems to have discovered something extraordinary.Could it be that Yingzheng is still a young child?With a chuckle, he rubbed his sore shoulder.Whoops, this time I really made a profit.
