He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

It turned out that because he was busy preparing for the mission, Gu Yue missed the best time for Xinke to return to his hometown to visit his relatives, and now he was impeached and his name was controversial, so he was even more unsuitable for the application.Zhou Quan is a smooth person, although he dare not face the risk directly, but he also understands human nature, and made this decision considering the hardships Gu Yue suffered along the way.

After the city gate was opened, a wide official road was paved in front of everyone. On both sides of the road were fields, filled with flowers, colored cloth and needles and threads.There are one hundred and eighty copper water basins placed beside the stalls of the flower sellers, some swim goldfish, some soak impatiens, and some use Yuhua stones to form a Big Dipper array on the bottom of the water basin, which attracts scholars to stand on tiptoe to beg the leader.

The Qiqiao Festival in the ancient city of Hengshui is famous far and wide. When the day comes, people from ten miles around will come here to visit the county.Although this year's rain is heavy and the water is deep, the scene is much smaller than in previous years, but it can still be called a red and green dance.

"Asu, you follow me, don't follow Zhou Langzhong." Gu Yue got out of the carriage three miles away from the city, and walked with Su An all the way, "When they enter the city, they have to meet the county magistrate and county magistrate first, and they have to say countless official words You must not like the set of words."

"On official rhetoric, nonsense, you are the most powerful person I have ever seen." Su An looked forward and said, "Before leaving, you said that there was no one in the village to welcome you, why did you come here by yourself now? ,They come, the security."

Walking through the gate tower, it was raining lightly.

Gu Yue opened a paper umbrella and said, "Do you still remember that this is my hometown?" Su An hurriedly took out a silk handkerchief, bent down to wipe the black cloth boots for the two of them, and said, "Ziwei soaks in the moon, hibiscus shines, Floating fame is a dream."

Gu Yue thought for a while, and said: "Ziwei and hibiscus are flowers in July. When they are reunited with their beauties, they will be missed. It will be the season of August County's examination for fame. Your sentence is very good." Su An pretended Inadvertently said: "Talking casually."

Copper basins were placed on both sides of the road, and the flower lady whipped the edge of the basin with a thin whip, making a crisp sound: "Lang Jun is optimistic, Mr. Wei's begging flower, don't smash it." Su An said: "It's Fengxian!" Gu Yue said: "This water feature, children love to play with it the most." Su An smiled and said: "Okay, let's take a look together."

Hua Niang accepted the money and waved her sleeves across the water.Gu Yue pushed Su An, making him throw himself in front of the basin, his eyes widened.Hua Niang then took out a needle from the five-color thread barrel, and gently crossed the ripples.Su An blinked, and saw the purple petals on the bottom of the basin swirling and flying in the blue sky and white clouds. When the silver needles passed by, they were like snowstorms, and when the silver needles were still, they were like fluff.

In order to enjoy watching, Gu Yue held on to the umbrella and leaned forward to cover Su An from the continuous rain.As a result, the water in Su An's eyes reflected a face like an exiled fairy.Gu Yue Xun Xun said: "Asu, I was young when I left home, and now I can't even speak the local dialect, let alone recognize a few people, but since I'm here, I want... to be a matchmaker."

"You see, Wang Shicheng has passed the year and has not yet continued, so he is actually very anxious. And there is a small woman in Mr. Wei's family, who is both talented and beautiful. Both sides are officials, and they are well-matched. I want to match them up. beautiful thing."

Su An said: "Who is Mr. Wei?" Gu Yue turned the umbrella pole and smiled.Hua Niangzi leaned on the bamboo chair and said, "Your Majesty is a foreigner, how can you not know Mr. Wei Zhe? The former Grand Master of Qingtian County, now he is teaching in seclusion, and the world is full of peaches and plums. Hey, have you been to Chang'an? Last year's number one scholar Gu Yue is the master's disciple."

With a "wow", Su An picked up the water and washed his face, his face was flushed red.Gu Yue remained calm, and went to the side to buy a few embroidery needles, counting them one by one, placing the eyes, five holes, seven holes, nine holes, etc., from long to short.

Su An murmured: "So, Eighteen is the right matchmaker. It's not good for me to go to a happy household. It's more comfortable to eat and drink with Zhou Langzhong." Gu Yue held up the needle bag: "That's not what I meant, Ah Su, I just want to take you to meet Mr...." Su An replied: "I won't go, eighteen, he is your own father, and I won't go either."

After speaking, he ran away without a trace.Miss Hua's mouth was wide open, and she said in a sharp voice: "Ah, it's over, it's over, the gentleman said the wrong thing." Gu Yue couldn't help crying or laughing: "Yes, thank you for this beautiful tableau."

After more than ten years, Gu Yue finally returned to this ancient city, to the place where he studied and practiced calligraphy.When he was young, he had a withdrawn personality and felt inferior to his background. He couldn't understand why the Wei family and the Yao family had fought in the court for most of their lives, but in the end they had to adopt such an abandoned man with the blood of a political enemy in Guiyin County. son.

Now he understands a little bit. For example, although he has never had any grievances or enmities with the Xue family, he personally sent away this family that was once an extremely powerful official and a powerful family. Many reverse scales.

Standing in the world, people are not able to compare with the bright and clear sky, and they are more than enough to compare with the mortal beings. If you want to fight, you will not be perfect.

The number one scholar returned home to visit relatives, and a pool of gulls sprang up in front of Wei's mansion.Gu Yue didn't know the juniors in the mansion, but only vaguely recognized a few old faces.He rolled up his sleeves and saluted: "Little mistress." The little mistress was dressed in a blue skirt, and she was still gorgeous.Gu Yue said: "Eighteen went back to his hometown to visit his teacher Wei Zhe." The little teacher nodded, and the copper basin in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The structure of the house remains unchanged, and it is the most common three-entry stone and wood building in the Laohedong area.The reason why Gu Yue was able to identify this place was not because of the little teacher, but because of the two iron trees placed in front of the hall—it was like this in the past, there were always sticks made of more than a dozen strings of iron leaves hanging in the courtyard for typos. Or the child who memorized the wrong book.

In the hall, Wei Zhe was sitting in front of the screen, shaking a cattail fan in his hand, and the straw sandals under the couch were still stained with dirt.Gu Yue crossed his hands and saluted: "Sir, learn..." Before he finished speaking, Wei Zhe waved his bamboo stick and knocked on the ground with a "slap": "Chang'an has been polished for ten years, and I heard from the merchants that I have also been a gangster in the market. It's just a matter of showing off, how come you can't even say "Abo" in the end?" Gu Yue said: "Sir." Wei Zhe beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Oh! Zhuangyuan Lang!"

The little teacher brought two bowls of mung bean soup, and asked the teachers and students to quench their thirst.Wei Zhe took a sip and asked, "Who are you working for now?" Gu Yue followed suit and said, "Old Xiao Ge." Wei Zhe nodded, "Xiao Song, Xiao Qiaofu, he is very good." Gu Yue Said: "Sir, don't blame me, I came to ask you for advice just because I was confused." Wei Zhe sighed, crossed his legs: "Then, let me teach you again?" Gu Yue said: "Listen carefully."

Wei Zhe put down his bowl, pointed to the outside of the hall, and asked, "How's the rain this year?" Gu Yue said, "Spring and summer never end, and it doesn't happen in a hundred years." In your opinion, can Elder Xiao Ge and his generals handle the disaster relief well?" Gu Yue thought for a while, and replied: "I'm afraid not." Wei Zhe clapped his fan and sighed: "Then By the way, today's sages do not leave meritorious but useless ministers."

After Gu Yue listened, he picked up the bean soup and drank it all in one gulp: "Mr. Xie." At this moment, hearing the smile of the silver bell, a girl in a cloud brocade shirt and a green ribbon in her hair came with a lacquer tray. Looking all the way away, he called out: "Shiba Lang!" Perhaps because of the man's attire, Wei Yinger's handsome eyebrows were full of heroism, coupled with her tall and straight figure, she looked even more domineering.

Wei Zhe said: "Heavenly evil star." Wei Yinger stuck out her tongue, and cleaned the desk deftly.Gu Yue got up to salute, met his childhood playmates, and asked: "Ying'er knows a thousand characters at the age of three, but now she can memorize "Spring and Autumn"?" Wei Zhe said: "Girls are difficult to raise because they read too much. I need a civil servant who knows martial arts."

Wei Yinger said: "Don't listen to my father, the eighteenth man. If you want to envy me, I only envy Shangguan Zhaorong, who weighs the world's soldiers, and doesn't avoid being happy..." Wei Zhe said: "Shut up, look, what they are talking about. " Gu Yue laughed and said: "Ying Er, there is a Chang'an scholar in Hengshui County waiting for you to weigh it today, and see if he is equal to half a catty." Ying Er's eyes lit up.

Wei Zhe's face sank, the old hand held the soup bowl still, and drove Wei Yinger away.Just as Gu Yue opened his mouth, Wei Zhe quickly shook his fan and shouted: "Kneel down!" Gu Yue said, "Sir, just listen to me..."

The little mistress was instructing the servants to beg for cleverness, and when she turned around, she saw Mr. Wei chasing the students all over the yard with a bamboo stick, and sighed.Gu Yue was also aggrieved, don't say that feelings can't be forced, let alone stealing Mr.'s daughter?

But he did it with dignity.He put Wang Tingfu's two remonstrances about the city tax and palace salary in front of Mr. Wei, and understood them with emotion... A few hours later, Mr. Wei burst into tears: "You let that Xie Xing weighs it by himself, if she is really happy, the old man has nothing to say." Gu Yue nodded again and again: "Don't worry, sir, if the two of you are happy, there will be no less etiquette according to Chang'an rules, and you will never be wronged. "

Afterwards, Gu Yue dared to go to the East Chamber to look for Wei Yinger, and at least set a suitable time to meet at the flag pavilion at the head of the bridge.

However, persuasion on the one hand is not pleasing on the other.Gu Yue went to Wang Tingfu, and was scolded, but the adults didn't agree, so what should I do to ruin the girl's innocence?Gu Yue bitterly said, Yinger has lofty aspirations, and she will not marry unless she is both civil and military. There is no one in Hengshui who is worthy of her.After listening to Wang Tingfu, he reluctantly agreed.

At dusk, Gu Yue got a good seat and asked the shopkeeper to prepare two pots of Lao Bai Gan, so he went to fetch Mr. Lang.When Lang Jun Wang Tingfu came, he was wearing a neat round collar robe for joining the army, and he also specially wore a sachet.Gu Yue smiled, and then smiled again.

The two went to pick up the beauty, only to see the fragrant curtains on the windows blowing up with the wind, a green hand resting on the maid's wrist, Wei Yinger's red silk tube top, green gauze on her face, her round and white arms in a semi-transparent gauze draped over her shoulders It looks like a freshly picked lotus root.

The three of them were sitting, Gu Yue rolled up his sleeves and poured wine, one glass on the left and one glass on the right.Wei Yinger said: "It's really difficult for Shibalang." Wang Tingfu leaned over, put the wine in front of Yinger directly in front of Hui Yue, and exchanged tea.Gu Yue: "..." Wang Tingfu said: "Gu Lang, I heard a thing or two about the custom of begging for cleverness in the county, and I found it very interesting, so I'm just talking about it here, but I'm wrong, eh, please ask the girl to punish me Alcohol." Wei Yinger smiled: "Alcohol is unnecessary, fine."

Hengshui has three reputations for begging for cleverness.First of all, the stone arch bridge passed by famous Confucianists in the past dynasties. Although it is not as wide as ten feet and as high as a black awning boat, every stone pillar beside the bridge is engraved with poems of famous scholars of all dynasties. Famous and rich families will hang a bronze mirror on the capital of the column, borrowing the bright moonlight to welcome the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.The second is that women from various families sit on boats by the river and vie for piercing needle holes with colored thread, praying for well-being. Among them, those who dress most skillfully will be rewarded by the government.The third is the goldfish market by the river, which is lively and picturesque, attracting foreigners to linger.

The hazy rain and fog are dyed red, like ribbons lingering on the riverside.After Wang Tingfu finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Heng County has good geomantic omen, and it has raised the talent of a girl, but I don't know how to pull Gu Shiba out." Hold up the wine pot, raise your breath and recite poems.

In this way, Gu Yue could see and think clearly about a punting boat and a long stream, so he cupped his hands and excused himself to leave.

If a person is in the capital, the lights of thousands of houses are not fake, and the long streets are colorful, there is nothing he can do about it in the Daming Palace all night. Qi Qiao Festival.
