He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

Gu Yue's eyelashes moved, and his eyes quickly gathered together: "No need." Su An didn't hear the answer he wanted, and was depressed for a while, then crawled out of the bed, leaned in front of Gu Yue's face, and poked it: "I really don't want to." go?"

"Asu, most of Guiyuan's disciples are students of Imperial College and Taixue, hereditary titles, recommended by famous experts." Gu Yue did not hide, let Su An poke his face two or three times, "I am a foreigner, go It's against the rules."

Su An murmured: "I have always listened to you for what you asked me to do. Now, I only ask you once, and you don't agree." Gu Yue said: "Asu." Su An said: "I No one recommended it, and I can't read, but I'm not afraid of being laughed at." Gu Yue didn't turn back, stood up on his knees, and slowly started to make the floor.

Su An withdrew her hand and wrapped a strand of hair around her ear: "You are sometimes as open-minded as running water, and sometimes as stubborn as rocks. You neither play musical instruments nor hum tunes. I really can't understand you."

Gu Yue closed the window, turned around, and pulled out the wick: "Young Master Su is very admonishing, Gu is taught, be taught."

It was night, and Gu Shiba's candles were extinguished one by one, and the moonlight seeping through the window became as transparent and pure as water.After listening to Gu Yue's breathing, Su An quietly raised his arm and compared the size of their palms.

During the three days of rest, Xia Yuan was talking about the appreciation of osmanthus in the Xu Mansion in Yongxingfang.Su An freed himself up, first settled a few disputes between the music workshops, then asked Bai Su to find out the origin of the seven-star tube that Xu Qing got, and then went to Changchun Residence to ask for two decent brocade robes, and then he went to congratulate him. Even, go with Lu Lan.

As soon as the three of them entered Yongxingfang, they smelled the fragrance of ink.In the streets and alleys, groups of literati shuttle back and forth, greet each other with the title of your husband and me, and recite poems with different accents from time to time.Beside the streets and alleys, the pavilions and mansions are neat and dense. There are two stone carvings in front of each house, and there are big characters on the door plaques.

Under Lu Lan's introduction, Su An and He Lian saw the past one by one, which Shangshu mansion is this, which general's house is that, because Yongxing Square is close to the imperial city, it is convenient to go to court, so Chang'an gathered here The most prominent gentry minister.

At this time, tributes from various prefectures arrived in Chang'an one after another, encapsulated their poems and strategies into scrolls, and handed them to people who might appreciate them, whose status and reputation were far superior to theirs, in the hope that they would recommend themselves to the examiner.

It is rumored that Xu Qing, the chief examiner of the Ministry of Officials, won the smiles of the elders in the Chaozhong Pavilion with his touching "Spring and Autumn and Five Elements Intercourse Dacheng Fu". In a forest of sweet-scented osmanthus, every Mid-Autumn Festival, a banquet will be held to entertain many noble children, and they will talk about the prosperity of the world. I only hope that everyone will drink water and think of the source.

Su An also forgot where she heard these stories from. In a blink of an eye, the carriage drove to a luxurious mansion.Lu Lan raised the curtain, and handed over a small bag of broken money to Uncle Xu, the gatekeeper: "Young Master Su and Young Master He are coming back, let's add joy."

According to the rules in the palace, musicians should go through the side door, but Su An was still hesitating, hearing a series of creaking laughs, and a group of beautiful prostitutes from the church next to them rubbed their shoulders and poured into the tall road. threshold.

He Lian was originally in the standard nodding and bowing posture of walking in the court meeting, but when he suddenly saw the female prostitute like this, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his sleeves and hands tightly.Su An said: "Why is Jiaofang so presumptuous? This is the official residence, and rewarding osmanthus is a well-known event." Lu Lan said: "Mr. Xu is elegant, and he always advocates civilizing and rejuvenating the country."

"Who said it wasn't? We are the music officials of the Taiyue Department. After leaving the palace, we can be regarded as honored guests." He Lian immediately stepped in like a model, straightened his body, and ordered Xu Laosan, "Lead the way ahead. .”

Su An laughed at him: "Young Master He, haven't you been a master for hundreds of years? You're used to bending over in the imperial city, so it's rare for you to go straight when you come out, right?" He Lian glanced back: "Nonsense." Su Ann quickly covered her mouth.

They came to a dense sweet-scented osmanthus forest, and there were laughter and laughter in the forest. It could be seen that more than a dozen talented men in plain clothes were sitting around one place, comparing poems and prose with each other, cutting and polishing words.The musician's seat was not far away, and it was set up in a pavilion by the forest. Lu Lan sat down, put away his robe, took off the flute around his waist, and pointed to Su An and He Lian one by one.

"The one who writes and wears a fish hanging on his waist is a student of the Imperial College, named Li Yao, the eldest son of Li Yi, the king of Xin'an County. He read "Book of Rites" and "Zuo Zhuan" at the age of six, and was highly appreciated by the Supreme Being. It is expected to be the champion."

"The one holding the white tiger sandalwood fan is Xue Jiping, the eldest son of Yushi Zhongcheng Xue Jin, a descendant of the Duke of Pingyang, an apprentice of an imperial student, a well-known romantic dandy in Chang'an, known as the poet fairy in Pingkangfang, and the confidante of Miss Biyun. "

Su An said: "Most of the students of Guozijian and Taixue can become officials because of their family background, why do they still have to take the imperial examination?" Want to take the Jinshi exam?" Su An said: "I asked him, and he said that he is from a scholarly family."

Lu Lan smiled, put the bamboo flute in front of him, closed his eyes, and played the Huainan famous song "Hundred Birds".He Lian said: "Xu Yuanwai hasn't..." Before he finished speaking, he saw a handsome man in a round neck shirt with a hooded head coming over. He walked vigorously, tall and thin, and tapped the rhythm of the melody with his slender fingers on the side of his legs.

Several talented men immediately got up and saluted one by one: "The late students pay respects to Mr. Xu and Master Xu." Xu Qing said: "There is no need to be rigid, the reason why Xu dared to invite everyone here today is to take advantage of the fragrance of Guilin, and to inherit the fragrance of Guilin. Li Shilang's kindness, three, is Mr. Lu's song "The Sound of a Hundred Birds", a hundred birds chasing the phoenix, and talents compete for office."

Speaking of this, Su An raised his head and took a look. Lu Lan's body was motionless, and his breath didn't stop, only his fingertips were jumping flexibly on the flute hole.Afterwards, the children of Osmanthus Garden interacted with each other, talking about civilizing and rejuvenating the country, and advocating emphasizing culture and avoiding martial arts, and their voices spread throughout the Osmanthus grove.Xu Qing smiled, walked through the woods with a spring breeze, sat down in the pavilion, looked at Lu Lan, Su An, and He Lian, and ordered someone to fetch the rare ivory seven-hole flute.

"Mr. Lu's Hundred Birds can always play new artistic conceptions, only Xu has surprises every year." Xu Qing put the dental flute to his lips, and slowly played a melody, "Actually, if it weren't for the fetters of fame, Xu And half a musician."

Su An doesn't understand the attitude of officials, he just talks about music, and he can understand people's hearts from music.In every joint, Xu Qing handled it quite spiritually. After several times of recollection, one can hear a kind of vigorous spirit, a kind of ambition full of power.

Lu Lan glanced at Su An.Su An regained his composure, first estimated the size and shape, then inspected the luster of the material, and said, "I have inquired specifically for the members, this ivory was taken from the mount of the King of Kucha, and the flute hole was carved in the hands of a famous teacher in Anguo, and traveled to eight countries successively. Now I am fortunate to be able to flow into Chang'an, it is really a rare sound of nature, it is a pity..."

Xu Qing said: "What's the pity?" Su An said: "There are membrane holes in the air, and there is no membrane covering the flute." Lu Lan said: "Such a treasure, if the ordinary reed membrane is not suitable, then you don't need it." Su An said: "In In Qiuci, there has long been a kind of flute membrane, which was taken from the belly of a cicada and folded many times, and it was originally equipped with this seven-star tube, which was obtained by the staff."
