He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

In the sea of ​​people, Su An squeezed forward through the gap, the closer he got, the more he couldn't move. He saw that there were broken gold-backed paper screens on the north-south government attics.The small official sent a letter to the twelve neighborhoods outside with a loud voice: "45, Yingshan County, Anzhou, Wang... 46, Qinghe County, Cangzhou, Wei..."

Like a beacon fire message, every time a call is made, a name is written on the paper screen, from the East Hall of the Ministry of Officials to the South Courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, from the South Courtyard to Taifu Temple, from Taifu to Taichang Temple, and from Taichang to Suzaku He An came to the door and roared away all the way.

"Towards..." This is the first time that Su An participated in it as an audience, looking up at this event that he couldn't understand before, but now it makes the whole Chang'an boil, the mighty unveiling, "Towards Where to go..."

The people around the courtyard wall looked haggard, their brows were frosty, and they could tell from a glance that they had been guarding all night.Their clothes are plain and their manners are respectful, except that they hold the scrolls tightly in their hands, and when they talk, they emit passionate voices.

"Mr. Zhang has an elegant style. Look at Pei Lang's poems. They are simple and natural. They swept away the beauty of the Six Dynasties. Their feelings are self-evident. They are worthy of being Jinshi!" A, if you don’t break Loulan, you won’t pay it back!’, that’s a man.” “Poems are nothing more than interesting things. If you want to discuss policies and criticize current problems, I only admire Duke Yan...” “Stop talking nonsense!” “Say for a long time, I wonder if you guys are on the list?" "I haven't." "Neither have I." "Come back next year."...

The restaurants outside the imperial city, as long as there is a high point of the pavilion, are all full, and from time to time there will be a high-pitched opera, singing the names of the nobles into the tune.Those young masters who were chewing tea and wearing silver scorpions around their waists rolled up their blinds to visit, their gazes were as hot as those of everyone below.

"Mother! Father!" Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd, and a bony white-haired scholar rushed forward, kneeling in front of the corner of the wall with tears streaming down his face, gnawing on the brick wall with his teeth, "My son today, the title of the gold list ah!"

Su An frowned, and along the wall, he saw a three-foot-long yellow paper list with broken gold flowers on it, with silver hooks painted on it, and ink characters that he felt very strange to him were arranged row by row.

"Which one of these is Gu Yue? Why is the first name in three characters? Don't you say that the number one scholar is Gu Yue?" He randomly grabbed a scholar and asked anxiously, "Could it be a mistake?"

"Look at the list without knowing the words? This is the first time I met you." The scholar glanced at Su An in surprise, shook his head, and pointed to the more eye-catching gold-encrusted jade list on the left, "Where is the Jinshi list? It is Mingjing."

Although there are fewer names on the list of Jinshi, there are more people who stop and watch, and they are more refined.Su An raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and saw two words engraved on the front row.

"Gu Yue!" That was the only word he knew at the beginning. He shouted loudly, causing the group of green shirts and blue shirts next to him to look at him like tigers and wolves. He didn't care, and continued to shout, "Gu Yue ! Gu Yue!"

Suddenly, a strong and tight arm stretched out from behind, tightly covering his mouth, Su An turned around, and looked into a pair of clear and bright willow leaf eyes: "Umm... I knew you..."

Gu Yue's eyes were warm and quiet, and the faint sandalwood on his body covered up the smell around him: "You're scaring them, go back to the palace and rehearse the music." Su An scrambled: "What about you?!"

Gu Yue smiled: "I don't go anywhere, I just stand here and watch the fun, see if other people have it, I'm happy if I have it, if everyone has it, what's the point, eh, I'm not happy. Su An: "..."

Although this sentence is very stupid, Su An still choked up, as if he was the one who stumbled out of the [-] candidates in the world after more than ten years in the cold window, and made the entire Chang'an romantic talent pale. Son.

A young man in a blue shirt commented: "As for Gu Lang, there were not many poems before, and only two or three poems could be recited." The blue shirt said: "It was just passed on, the great talent Gu Shun who jumped into the river during the Holy Calendar..." Qingshan said: "Oh, it's Gu Shiba from Yongchangfang." Lanshan sighed: "Everyone says abandoned sons are the same as wild sons, saying this is a compliment to his ability."

There were more and more people, the young man in green shirt thought for a moment, and at the request of his surroundings, he recited Gu Lang's ten-year-old poem. lingering.

Last night, I heard the magpie's language in the cold window, and I spared Yuxue to send the good news.

And praise the wind and dust road in spring and autumn, and stand in the heart of the world.

After sending Su An away, Gu Yue stood in front of the list all day long, looking at his name and people coming and going, without doing or saying anything, until the sunset left, and he left a long cry. sigh.

Su An bounced all the way back to the palace. At this time, the order of the lake in the palace had been restored—the dancers from Jiaofang jumped and twirled, 64 vigorous dancers ran and raised their sleeves, and thousands of orchestral players played and plucked...

Su An took a deep breath.For a long time, he had always dreamed of being able to play a piece of music for Gu Yue himself in the Daya Hall. Now that the flower feast in Xingyuan, his dream can finally come true, how can it not be exciting? !

However, the surging lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, and I saw that in the music formation of Qingshanle, He Lian had already sat on the lotus throne of his five-stringed pipa according to Lin Zhenzhen's arrangement, and began to play along with everyone. picked.

"He Lian, Mr. He, Master He, I beg you..." Su An didn't dare to provoke Lin Zhenzhen any more, so she stretched out a pair of helpless hands to pull He Lian's strings, "I just said For play."

He Lian said: "It's none of my business, it's your willfulness, you have to ask Mr. Lin." Su An closed his eyes, sighed, turned around and begged Lin Zhenzhen brilliantly.Lin Zhenzhen said: "Asu, these are two different things. It was a great deal to allow you to leave just now, but now you're going back on your word, with so many people watching, I can't agree."

Su An anxiously said: "It's only once in a lifetime to get a title on the gold list!" Lin Zhenzhen said: "The one who signed the title is someone else, what's your heart?" Su An said: "What kind of heart am I, you and Lin Ye, the two of you, Don't you understand?!" Lin Zhenzhen said: "Who in this world doesn't treat us as playthings? If you want to treat yourself as a noble person, don't play with dance music."

The matter could not be caused by Su An's nonsense, it was decided by Lin Zhenzhen, and in the next afternoon, when Su An was alone playing the pipa to relieve boredom, he heard that Gu Yue was not only sitting in the head seat, but was also favored by Princess Xianyi together with Pei Yan, He was appointed as the envoy of the two streets to explore flowers.

Xianyi is innocent and romantic, taking advantage of the absence of the Holy One and Concubine Hui not paying attention, she pesters Yuzhen to pick flowers.Yuzhen was aroused and instigated: "The flower stalks are full of thorns, why should Feng Nu do it herself? Auntie chooses two people to pick flowers for you, okay?"

As a result, Su An became even more depressed. Besides, Qujiang Apricot Garden is a private place. Except for Ziyun Tower, which is a restricted area, people in other places can come and go freely. If there are no seats—Xu Kuo mentioned that every year there are crowds of onlookers crowding people to death.

A series of accidents caught Su An off guard. It was night, and the Spring Courtyard of the Tai Le Department was brightly lit. He was sullen. He was too lazy to join in the fun. He just passed by, but he saw Sanbo waving at him, "Master Li is calling for your son to come in." .”

As soon as he entered the room, he didn't want to, except for the wine jars piled up in the corner, there were not many people, there were only three, Gu Yue, Zhang Jian and Li Shengping, and the rest of the officials all said a few festive words, took turns to leave when they were happy.Li Shengping was sitting on the couch, lowering his head to carve the lacquer surface of a pan flute. Perhaps because he had been drinking, his complexion was slightly red.

"Asu, come here, let's respect Master Li." Gu Yue asked Zhang Jian to bring another bowl, and filled it up with dry and wine, "Master Li has been taking care of us all these years, and has prevented us from knowing how many In the midst of the wind and waves."

Su An took the bowl and said, "It has to be divided. For the first bowl, I will respect Mr. Li boldly. For the second bowl, I will congratulate Gu Lang. For the third bowl, I will respect the gentlemen of Taile Department for Jixian Pavilion." After finishing speaking, she raised her neck Drink it clean without leaking a drop.

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then waved his sleeves to drink.Li Sheng smiled flatly and said: "I'm too strong to drink, so I won't drink, but Mr. Su." Su An said: "My lord, what are your orders?"

Li Shengping's fingers were flexible, holding the carving knife, leaving flowers and trees on the surface of the flute smoothly, and then said: "There are thousands of musicians in the Taiyue Department. Although you are talented, if it weren't for Gu Lang, There is still no day for you."

Su An said: "I know." Li Shengping said: "I don't know, you have to remember." Su An raised his face and looked at Gu Yue: "I remember, my lord." It's a late birth."

Li Shengping didn't explain, and carefully touched the carved lines again: "Si Le Ding Da Qipin of the Tai Le Department, there is nothing to help Gu Lang, but this Gu Lang is kept well, and it may save his life in critical times."

Gu Yue said: "My lord." Li Shengping said: "Why, dare to show the limelight, dare not bear the wind and rain?" Gu Yue lowered his head and solemnly accepted the panpipe, and saw that the lacquer carvings were several peonies with elegant postures.

This night, it was supposed to be the spring night when those on the list went to Pingkangfang to have a romantic relationship, but Gu Yue was very calm, and explained the affairs of the office and Zhang Jian, who to use, who was responsible for those accounts, everything was detailed , For example, money can be outsourced to restaurants in the market, purchases should be priced according to both public and private accounts, and what kind of etiquette should be used when dealing with major yamen.

Li Shengping heard half of it, and yawned: "So-and-so didn't hear anything, so-and-so left first." Su An smiled and waited, and lifted the curtain.Li Shengping said: "Mr. Su, you send XX." Su An said: "Yes."

The two came out one after another, only to see the moonlight washing in front of the gate of the Spring Courtyard, and the dew-covered stone floor was glowing with a layer of luster.Li Shengping stopped in his tracks, and asked, "Master Su, today my mother commented on the revision of "Qing Shan Le" very well, and asked who made the effort." Su An was still distracted, and his heart skipped a beat.Li Shengping said: "Someone asked you."

Su An trembled all over, and knelt on the ground: "Originally, Lin Zhenzhen changed it. I just practiced the piece according to his instructions. I didn't move a single note. My lord knows it clearly. I dare not take credit for it." Li Shengping said: " good."

Li Shengping's carriage left, and the two bright red lanterns under the eaves were still shaking in the wind.Su An got up, wiped off the dew on the black leather boots with her hands, and sighed at herself, she just gave up on being able to sit on the highly anticipated five-stringed pipa at the flower feast in the apricot orchard, and play music for the new champion Chance.

At this time, Zhang Jian also came out, passing Su An with a large pile of official documents, and nodded with a smile.Su An said: "You're laughing." Zhang Jian slipped and almost fell, Zi Liu disappeared.

When entering the room, Su An saw Gu Yue lighting incense.

Gu Yue was a little drunk, his white and tender hands stretched out in front of the candlelight to try to touch them.Su An was very worried, and rushed to go: "I will come, I will come, you champion, what should you do if you burn it, hey, you..."

For a moment, Gu Yue just held him like this, his movements were effortless, extremely meticulous and gentle, but he couldn't refuse at all: "Worship with me." Su An was stunned: "Worship your father and mother?" Gu Yue nodded, picked up the red incense that fell on the ground, bent it into two pieces, and stuffed one into his hand: "Let's go together."

"What is this?!" Su An was confused, he knew that Gu Yue must be drunk to be like this, but how can he do things like worshiping the ancestors at will, "What do you think in your heart..."

Gu Yue said: "I didn't think much about it, I just thought it would be more lively with one more person." Su An said: "Then do you know what I think?" Gu Yue smiled, with a warm mist in his eyes: "I know, you want to I must be drunk."

Su An didn't know how to answer, so he held the Hongxiang tightly, turned sideways and knelt on the flower mat.As soon as Gu Yue raised his robe, he also knelt down: "My lords, my son will be named on the gold list today, and together with my younger brother Su An, I will burn this incense to comfort your souls in heaven."

Two red stars lit up in the incense burner, and a wisp of cigarette smoke drifted in front of the two of them, and then, like a drop of time, it curled away.There are no statues of gods on the altar, only a dilapidated bamboo slip and a clean pipa.
