Royal road

The sky is dim, and there are cars and horses flying outside Jinyang City. People on the road are all wearing spring shirts and heading towards the Jinshui River.Today is the third day of the third month, Shangsi Day, and everyone from the public to the common people will come to worship by the water, sing and feast.Jinyang is a big city, and naturally it is no exception.However, poor people can go out on foot, and the public has to walk around the barriers and make good preparations.

In the upper reaches of the Jinshui River, beside the bank of lush green forests and turbulent clear streams, colorful silk curtains have been hung up early.With the General's Mansion as the center, all the high gates set up tents nearby, cleared dead branches and gravel by the river, and laid thick blankets on the grass.A few luxurious and noble families also use Shu brocade as a cloak, and step on it with soft shoes, just like stepping on clouds.

With such a festive season and such beautiful scenery, even the busy maidservants couldn't help chatting in low voices.It is even more exciting to see who is a nobleman with silk gauze as the tent, which family is rich in soap and car, and who is famous and talented who come to worship.

"Oh, Liang Langjun will really come?!" I don't know who mentioned it first, and it immediately attracted a whisper.

Who doesn't know the great name of the Buddha?Among the servants, some even saw the grand scene of the Obon ceremony in person.The scene of the whole city going crazy that day is vivid in my mind.Who would have expected that Liang Langjun would come to the bank of Jinshui in person for a spring outing!

"I heard that a few days ago, Lord Dongying conscripted Mr. Liang Langjun as a lord. Mr. Liang claimed to be weak and never accepted. Duke Dongying invited the imperial physician to treat him. Maybe this time he came to Jinyang, It is to thank Mr. Dongying for his kindness..."

"He's such a humble gentleman, it's enviable!"

"This winter, the Huai'en Temple donated porridge and water, which saved hundreds of people. It was also done by Liang Langjun. Liang Langjun is compassionate and kind, and he has Buddha's advice. How can he care about these false names?"

"It is said that Liang Langjun is very beautiful. If I can see him once, this life will not be in vain."

"Being able to meet the Buddha's son is an opportunity you can't ask for..."

Which girl doesn't admire the handsome and beautiful Langjun, even these servants are familiar with Liang Langjun's name.So what about brilliant rhetoric?So what if you are full of economics?What about Caisminda?Can it compare to the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city of Jinyang?

What Liang Feng did was exactly the kind of attention these lowly people have never received.Whether it's a medical liaison to save the sick or a Buddhist temple to give out porridge, which one is not for the people of Jinyang?Such a benevolent and handsome man, who is still suffering from a chronic illness, will naturally be respected and loved by everyone.

However, as the sun rose, the luxury cars gathered, and those wealthy families arrived at the riverside.Those who talked about Liang Feng also began to change their tone.

"Then Liang Zixi will really show up?"

"Wang Changshi invited him, why didn't he come?"

"Another villain who is stalking the crowd and trying to make a living. I'm afraid it's just for the price when he refuses Dongying Gong's requisition."

"Haha, who knows? It is said that his family has no officials for two generations and is very poor. Even the rice for the porridge is sold in exchange for paper. It is also thanks to the gimmick of the Buddha entering the dream, otherwise who would buy the Tibetan scriptures?" Paper back?"

"It is said that the Liang Mansion started selling Buddhist scriptures last year. They used the method of publishing and printing. My house also bought a copy. The price is quite cheap, but the scriptures and ink books are really good. Could it be that Liang Feng used this trick to spread the word about the Buddha?" The name of the dream, and the magic of calligraphy?"

"Ha! This trick of self-recommendation is really good! It's a vulgar thing."

"Come to Jinyang this time, don't you also want to serve Dong Yinggong? Thanks to the arrogant posture you put on before. So what about the praise from the Wang and Pei families? This time, the Sun, Wen, and Guo clans all brought young Cai Jun, I'm afraid there is a good show to watch."

The scholars who gathered together said that they should not make bitter comments, and expressed their disdain for this Buddha who turned out to be born in the world.Among the family members, they whispered about Liang Feng's life experience and genealogy.His family is so small, his parents died early, and his wife's family was also involved in the Jia family's rebellion, and ended up being wiped out. Could it be someone with few fates?If fate is really bad, we still have to put aside the matter of marriage for now, even if Liang Zixi is really as handsome and talented as rumored, it is not as important as his daughter's life.

There are different opinions, but one topic is inseparable: When will Liang Zixi arrive?

With such a reputation, only those top masters in Jinyang have seen him.Whether it is worthy of the name or just a sham, depends on today's spring trip.

Seeing that more and more gentry gathered by the river, the bustling cars and horses almost blocked the road.The famous Liang Zixi still hasn't arrived.Could it be that the rumors are wrong and he won't come today?

Just as someone was thinking this way, a mica cart appeared at the end of the road.Qingyou Building, Zhu Siluo, the curtain covering the carriage, and the body of the cow decorated with mica are exactly the carriage frame of the Wang family.

Many people stood up. Wang Wen is also the direct branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan. No matter what is discussed behind his back, no one dares to ignore the largest family in Jinyang.However, to everyone's surprise, when the carriage stopped and the curtain was raised, it was not Wang Wen who got off the carriage, but a young man.

That person was wearing white clothes!

Everyone was uproarious.

Logically speaking, wearing white clothes is not a taboo.Jin is Jinde and Shangbai.The emperor wears a white gauze top hat, and the prince marries a concubine with a white gauze.The white hood was created by Wei Wu, and it has long been a common practice for those who have not been an official to wear a white hood.However, the first clothes are fine, but the clothes are seldom so clean.If nothing else, how can white clothes show luxury?Plain white silk is the cheapest, even if a little decoration is added, it will not be very expensive.What's more, there is no eye-catching color, no exquisite tattoos, if the face is dark, ugly, and fat, wearing white clothes can be regarded as ugly and difficult to control.

However, the person in front of him was dressed in frost, with only some ice crack decorations on the sleeves of his clothes.Wearing a white jade crown on her head, and wearing black cloud shoes on her feet, except for the raven hair on her head and black pupils on her face, she looks as clear as jade, unstained by the world.

And this simple attire also made him look very dignified and arrogant.Although there is still some sickness on the face, but standing among the crowd of vulgar scholars in red and green clothes, he is just like a plain plum and white crane, pure and elegant.After the uproar, there was a long silence, and even those gentry who wanted to say hello to Wang Wen couldn't help but stop.

"Jiyi Qijin, chat with me. It seems that Zixi's outfit is really amazing." Wang Wen walked down from the frame with a smile. Today he invited Liang Feng to ride with him in the same car. Carefully watch the scene where everyone is silent.

The line "Qiqi towel in onyx clothes, chat with me" comes from "Out of the East Gate" in "Book of Songs Zheng Feng", which is a chanting of the pre-Qin men's love for girls in white.Speaking from Wang Wen's mouth, it was naturally a bit more teasing.

Liang Feng smiled slightly: "Bi Fen's song is full of words. I also want to thank Zhongzheng for carrying me."

This sentence also comes from the Book of Songs, and the following text is exactly "He Qi's son is as beautiful as jade. He is as beautiful as jade, which is different from the public family." It is a poem in which women praise men for their appearance and beauty.Coincidentally, the two of them were still by the river, and it was wonderful to answer like this.

Wang Wen couldn't help laughing, and led Liang Feng to Wang's camp regardless of other idlers.

Seeing the man in white walking by, everyone came back to their senses.At this moment, how can anyone speak harsh words?Such a demeanor, such a magnanimity, I am afraid that only Gushe Immortal can compare with it!

Alas, how can such a person indulge in the stink of money and be stingy with false fame?I'm afraid the rumors are wrong?

Seeing his pale face and pale lips, I'm afraid he is really sick...

Wang Changshi even asked him to ride in the mica cart together, and even walked hand in hand. It seems that the friendship between the two is indeed deep!

It is no wonder that such a handsome person has few relatives. This must be the will of the Buddha.Well, do you want to marry a daughter?

Everyone's thoughts were full of thoughts, and they had long forgotten their previous guesses.It wasn't until Sima Teng's soap wheel car arrived that the weird silence dissipated a little.

It was the first time seeing Liang Feng in person. Looking at the plain, handsome and flawless man, Sima Teng couldn't help but praise: "What a beautiful man! No wonder Maoshen never forgets it. Today's trip is really worthwhile!"

Liang Feng saluted and said, "It's fortunate that Duke Dongying gave me the doctor."

This ceremony was impartial, neither flattering nor contemptuous, free and simple, which made people feel good.What's more, he also thanked the imperial physician he sent, saving face.Sima Teng only felt his whole body feel better, and the anger in his heart also eased a lot. He nodded with a smile, "It's their credit for bringing Zixi here. Come, let's face the water with me."

With the arrival of the chief official, Sima Teng, the exorcism ceremony officially began.This is also the etiquette handed down from the pre-Qin period. People come to the water’s edge in March to receive the yang energy of spring, cleanse the dust and dirt accumulated in winter, and eliminate disasters and illnesses.Of course, this washing is not about stripping naked and bathing, but soaking hands and feet in river water, dipping willow branches in clean water, and sprinkling it on the body, which means washing.

They are full of high-ranking nobles, so the rites of exorcism are naturally not simple, and they are both Yale and song wu. After cleaning their hands with copper basins, they each take out boiled eggs and jujubes and throw them into the water.This is also a common practice in Shangsi, floating eggs and jujubes, so that women can pick them up by the river, praying for more children and blessings.

After completing a set of etiquette, Sima Teng stroked his palm and said, "Today is March [-]rd, when the water is flowing. Come, let's set up a banquet!"

This is the subject of the banquet.The brocade tent is like a curtain, and Hua Yin is the way. Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, everyone came to the pre-set Qushui Pool.Like the stars holding the moon, Sima Teng sat at the top, and several other big families lined up to sit.Seeing that everyone was taking their seats, Sima Teng pointed to the cup in his hand: "Is it composing poems today, or just talking?"

Beside him, a middle-aged man with narrow eyes and short beard stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There are so many talented people, let's talk about it."

This person is Sun Zhi, the Chief Inspector, and a descendant of the Sun family in Zhongdu.The great-grandfather of the Sun family was Cao Wei Hussar General, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Zhongdu.Later generations of officials to the prefect were also prominent families in Taiyuan.

When Sima Teng heard the words, he immediately laughed and said, "What Xuan Da said is true."

Following Sima Teng's order, the lotus leaf holding the cup was placed in the blue waves, and the music started loudly.

The smile on Sun Zhi's face remained undiminished, his long and narrow eyes swept across the white-clothed figure below, and his lips became more cold.
