It can be said that Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Lanting Pavilion" is known to everyone, and everyone knows the banquet by the water described in the "Preface to the Lanting Pavilion".

It also coincided with the third day of March, and a group of literati followed the example of the sages, and also made a curved water cup by the water, put the special wine glass full of wine into the water, and the wine glass did not sink, and meandered away along the flowing river. .The beating of drums is used as a sign, and when the drum stops, wherever the wine glass goes, the person sitting there will pick up the wine glass and drink the wine in the glass.

Generally speaking, the master will also come up with questions, or couplets, or poems, so as to gain an elegant name.

Lin Mo ran into a banquet held by the river outside the city.

Lin Mo thought it was just a group of people drinking around the river, but with the idea of ​​seeing folk customs, he wanted to see and see.

But before he saw it, he was stopped by the guards around him.

"My lord, please show me the invitation card?"

Today Lin Mo was dressed as a scholar, Eunuch Wei simply pretended to be an old servant, and those guards became errand runners.Although Lin Mo has a handsome appearance and gorgeous clothes, his whole body is also full of style.

Although the doorkeeper was wondering when his master had such a friend, he still asked for invitations.

At this time, people who go out to visit people need to bring greeting cards, and there are naturally invitation cards for banquets and the like. It is not polite to come uninvited.

Naturally, Lin Mo didn't have any invitation cards, and he didn't meet any prince's son who happened to pass by, and then brought Lin Mo in.Therefore, we can only stay away from that banquet.

Seeing Lin Mo and his party walking away, the young man murmured to himself: "It looks like a man of arrogance, but I didn't expect him to be a pretender, so I'm blind to that good face!"

This time it was a banquet hosted by Wang Juren. Although he was a Juren and didn't have any official position, he was quite famous for his poems and he liked to promote people who were underachievers, so many scholars came to the banquet hosted by him.If he can gain a reputation at the banquet, it can be regarded as a talent that has spread far and wide.

It was also because of this that many young men from poor families also wanted to sneak in. I don’t know how many people like this I have blocked. Later, this matter was reported, and Wang Juren became bored. Every time there was a banquet, he would give People post posts, regardless of wealth or status, as long as they are talented, they will be invited to participate.Therefore, it is an honor for those scholars to get Wang Juren's post.

Naturally, Lin Mo didn't have Wang Juren's post, and originally wanted to join in the fun, but since he was not allowed to join in, Lin Mo didn't care.

Just follow the river downriver.

Although the river is not wide, it is long enough. Lin Mo walked with Eunuch Wei for a while before walking out of the river section where Wang Juren held the banquet.

The willows are soft and the breeze is gentle. Lin Mo looked at the cloth tents around the river bank, and the clear river flowed slowly, but he had such a romantic posture in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Lin Mo walked slowly along the river bank, and said to Eunuch Wei as he walked, "This kind of banquet by the water is really interesting." Eunuch Wei took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat from Lin Mo's forehead and said, "My lord Why didn't the old slave take out other people's posts? If that's the case, can I go and read it?"

Outside Wei Feng always referred to Lin Mo as son, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Lin Mo directly took the handkerchief from Wei Feng's hand, wiped it on his face indiscriminately, and said, "Your post is at least a fifth-rank official. Does it arouse suspicion when you go in? I don't want to be surrounded by a group of people. It's rare." It's a good time, so naturally you have to relax."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Eunuch Wei said a little embarrassedly, "It's as long as you are happy, young master."

The sky in later generations is naturally not as clean and natural as here. Lin Mo looked at the weeping willows blowing by the river, and broke a willow involuntarily.The light yellow willow buds looked very cute, and Lin Mo couldn't help stretching out his hands to pinch them.

Seeing His Majesty's actions that can be called stupid and cute, all the guards are looking at each other, but Eunuch Wei feels sorry for Lin Mo who is detained in the imperial city all day long, even Liu Ya is curious .

Now Confucian scholars all demand that the Son of Heaven be holy, that the world will be ruled by hanging down, and that the son of a thousand gold can't sit in the hall.The emperor only needs to stay in the palace well, if he goes out of the palace often, it will cause troubles.As for the affairs of the world, it is natural that officials from various ministries will report the matter to the emperor, and then let the emperor decide.

The emperor was in the palace, and the eyes and ears he used were basically from civil servants, eunuchs, and military officials.It's just that if something happens in the world, the emperor will be the first one to scold. If there are corrupt officials, the emperor will be stupid. In a peaceful world, he will take the credit for himself. If there is any disaster, such as earthquakes, floods, etc. , As the emperor, he has to issue his own imperial edict.

Some of these are man-made disasters, some are indeed natural disasters, but the crimes are all placed on the emperor's head.

Eunuch Wei couldn't make any sense, except that he took the emperor to the capital to make Lin Mo happy when he was resting, and there was nothing he could do.After all, I am a servant, if I invite His Majesty to have some kind of banquet, even if I pay the money myself, someone will report that His Majesty does not think about state affairs and is close to eunuchs.

In order not to damage His Majesty's reputation, Eunuch Wei also pays attention to his words and deeds, at least he will not let the sewage hat be put on his head, so as not to hurt His Majesty's reputation. The eunuch's ethos has been cleared up. Although there will still be scolding by rotten scholars, most of the sensible people have a good impression of Wei Gonggong, and even Lin Mo's reputation has been raised to a higher level.

I don't know how Lin Mo will feel after knowing this ╮(╯_╰)╭?

At this time, Lin Mo naturally didn't know Wei Feng's thoughts of turning around, but continued to walk downstream with great interest. The further down he went, the wider the river became.

Until he saw a pool, Lin Mo stood by the pool and looked down, knowing that this was the end, and seeing Wei Feng panting, he told them to rest here for a while.

There are many big white rocks beside the pool, and there are occasional white stones protruding from the water in the pool. The pool is not deep, and you can see the bottom of the river when it is clear. Lin Mo sat on a big rock and stretched out his hand to grab a handful of water. , close to the tip of the nose.

Wei Feng just arranged for the guards to look around, and when he didn't pay attention, he saw Lin Mo picking up the raw water in the pool and planning to drink it. In a hurry, he even forgot his status, and hurriedly said: "That's raw water. Water, you can’t drink it! You can’t drink it!”

Lin Mo didn't receive much care in the palace when he was young, and his body was very weak. After one or two years of recuperation, he gradually recovered.This unboiled water is naturally undrinkable, let alone the outdoor water in March is frighteningly cold.

Hearing Wei Feng's voice, Lin Mo put the water in his hand back into the pool and said, "I'm not drinking water, but I smell the smell of alcohol in the water, and I feel very strange."

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't drink, Eunuch Wei felt relieved, and worried that what he said just now would offend His Majesty. Seeing that Lin Mo didn't seem to blame him, he asked cautiously, "Is this pool of water reeking of alcohol?"

Lin Mo waved to Eunuch Wei, and Eunuch Wei also went to the white stone, took a sip of water, leaned closer and smelled it, and said, "It does smell of alcohol, but it smells a bit like the apricot blossom brew in the capital."

Although the apricot flower wine in the capital is not expensive, it is not cheap either. The water source at the end of the river can smell the wine. This is how much wine has been poured into the river.

Thinking of the hundred-step curtain on the upper reaches of the river, Lin Mo thought it was elegant at the beginning, but it was so extravagant when he didn't arrive.

Eunuch Wei saw that Lin Mo's complexion was not good, so he couldn't ask Lin Mo directly. Seeing Lin Mo talking about the smell of alcohol in the river, he said, "It is said that there is even the smell of fat and powder floating in the river by the Qinhuai River. Use gold foil made of gold to float in the water, just to hear the noise. My lord, there are such things in the world..." There are many things, and even Wang Juren in the upper reaches does not go too far with those people, but Eunuch Wei Didn't say anything behind it.

Lin Mo only felt that something was tugging at his heart, and felt inexplicably uncomfortable, thinking that he was only in a book, and he had no right to interfere with the development of this world, and could not do anything beyond the plot.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt that the burden on his body was lightened, but at the same time he felt heavy in his heart. The light thing was that he didn't have to bear the fate of those people, and the heavy thing was that he was powerless, or he had to be powerless.

Lin Mo looked at the rippling blue water, suddenly a little confused...

"Who is it!" A guard shouted loudly, as if frightened by the guards, a thin, yellow-faced child fell out of the withered grass and was dressed in rags. The clothes were so shabby that even cotton wool and rags Everything was exposed outside, only the blackened cotton wool could be seen on the east and west of his body.

He was still holding an earthen jar tightly in his hand, as if he was holding something cherished, holding it tightly.

Seeing that it was a beggar-like child, the other people who were startled by the guard at the beginning came back to their senses.Eunuch Wei was worried that he had passed something unclean to Lin Mo. He was about to order the people below to let the child leave when he saw Lin Mo jump off the rock and walk directly towards the little beggar.

Seeing that Lin Mo was dressed gorgeously, and there were guards beside him, the little beggar's face was covered with dirt, showing a trace of fear, and seeing Lin Mo walking closer, he trembled more and more.

Seeing that the little beggar was really scared, Lin Mo stopped and said to the guard, "Is there anything to eat? Give him some dry food."

The guards glanced at each other. One guard took out a bag of snacks and handed it to the little beggar. Seeing that the little beggar took it tremblingly, he retreated.

Seeing the little beggar took the things, Lin Mo raised a smiling face, tried to make himself a little gentler, and then asked in a gentle tone: "Is your home nearby? You came here to draw water?"
