Thousands of Li Rivers and Mountains, Fireworks and Fireworks in Qingchuan

Although there are guards who dress up and grow up to follow, they are much more free than the elders.The two half-grown kids are like small fish that have been kept in a fish tank for a long time, new to the river and sea, happy and novel.Walking in the bustling streets and alleys of Beijing, the people's livelihood along the way, although it is just a real and ordinary scenery, for the two people who have been in the deep palace for a long time, it is also a kind of enjoyable scenery.

By the way, the two of them have also become the scenery in the eyes of others, because the appearance of the royal family has always been good.Tired from walking, the two came to a restaurant that was said to be famous under the recommendation of Yongzhang's companion, Yichun.Yichun is the second son of the Wang family in Pingjun. He grew up in the capital. Although he is not a playboy, he is very familiar with the city and knows a lot of famous and interesting places. That's why Yongzhang chose him to follow.

Yueyilou is not only famous for its delicious food, but also because of its relatively elegant environment.It is very popular among officials and literati, and gradually, it is known to people who like elegance, and it can be regarded as a delicious and beautiful place.Yichun is very measured, he takes his brothers out, he can't lead the way indiscriminately, even if his brothers want to go, he has to stop them.Otherwise, he would have to walk around without food.Not to mention the emperor, his Ama would have personally discounted his legs.

The shopkeeper of Yueyi Building was originally sitting at the counter to settle accounts, and greeted familiar customers from time to time. When he saw them coming in, he quickly greeted them personally.With a moderate smile but not obsequious, he directly invited people to the private room on the second floor.Although he didn't know his identity, but based on his many years of experience, although the guests in this line were small, they had to wait on them well.

And after they passed through the hall and went upstairs, the people downstairs began to discuss in a low voice, which family the two in that group belonged to, judging by their looks and the attitude of the servants, they must be from a rich family, but they never Never seen.People have a strong desire to gossip, and their attention is shifted quickly. Seeing the two half-grown teenagers go in and make no sound, they shifted to other topics in a while.

Upstairs, the shopkeeper led Yongzhang and his party to sit down in an elegant box, and ordered the waiter to prepare some appetizing soup first, so that the young masters could cushion their stomachs before the dishes were served.Yongzhang didn't care about these little things, the palace has its own mothers and maids to take care of everything for the master.

However, Yongxie took a meaningful look at the shopkeeper. It seems that there is no simple person living under the emperor's feet.Yongxuan took it and asked the chief guard to take his people to eat in the box next door. This group of people followed them around half of the Beijing city, and they had to protect them and be on guard all the time. They must be tired and hungry. Naturally, you have to eat well.The captain of the guard thanked the little masters respectfully, leaving four of them to guard the door, and let the others take turns to eat. After all, it was in a bustling restaurant, and the danger of existence was small, so they could relax a little.

The two brothers didn't have so many rules when dining out, and they were temporarily ignored if they didn't talk about eating.After seeing that Yongxuan did not show disapproval, Yongzhang asked someone to warm a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and poured a cup for his younger brother himself: "It's getting cold, little four, you can warm your stomach with less." .”

Yong Xie nodded, he had tasted all kinds of spirits before, and wine was especially precious on the battlefield in winter, and one sip could last for a long time.The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a gentle arc.This made Yichun, who was sitting with him, stare straight at him.Yongzhang frowned slightly when he saw his servant's expression.

Yichun was startled by his gaffe, and began to talk about interesting things in the capital and interesting places to divert the attention of the two elder brothers. He is a good talker, and his stories are also witty and vivid, and even Yongxuan gradually listened to them. Got mesmerized.While eating delicious food outside the palace, listening to the young man telling interesting stories, in the tight life of the prince, this can be regarded as a kind of enjoyment.

Yongxuan secretly thought, no wonder Master Cai Xin said that the princes of the Shengzu Dynasty always skipped classes every now and then, so they should take it as a warning.For children, compared with the old and wordy masters who go to the study, the outside of the palace is more attractive.

Thinking of this, Yongxie glanced at his brother sadly. Yongzhang was four years older than him, and it was almost time to leave the palace to build a mansion. He heard from Concubine Jia that they were already thinking about where to give the princes who wanted to be independent. Open the palace and build the mansion.But he has to stay in that beautiful but also lackluster palace for a few more years.

While talking, Yichun peeked at the faces of the two elder brothers, wondering if there was something wrong with his always precise intuition, why did he feel that among the two master elder brothers, the fourth elder brother was the one who really called the shots!Everyone knows that the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother have been friends since childhood, and the two have always been inseparable.

It is undeniable that the fourth elder brother is the closest to the current emperor in terms of aura, which is probably called a king's bearing, and he doesn't even need to speak, as long as he looks at someone lightly, it seems to be able to see through people, and he can't lift his head due to self-condemnation Come.None of the clan companions in the study room were willing to provoke the master.

They had just finished eating when there was a roar of applause upstairs.Yongzhang looked at Yongxuan with curiosity in his eyes.Yongxie has sharp eyes and ears since she was a child, and she has heard the voice upstairs.But after all, it was separated by a layer, and he couldn't hear it clearly, so he didn't know what was going on.

Yichun said in a timely manner: "The period of the spring is approaching. Examiners from all over the country have come to Beijing to take the exam. Most of the upstairs are gatherings of acquaintances. I met twice in Yueyi Building last year. The literary talent in it There are so many outstanding talents, I am ashamed to be a slave, do you want to go and see the two masters?" Yichun said this is a self-deprecating word, he has been studying in the study room since he was a child, and it has been seven or eight years, no matter the teacher or the materials used All top notch.In this environment, the Four Books and Five Classics Stereotyped Policy Theory is not a problem.It's just that the way for their clan relatives and relatives to become officials is not in the imperial examination, so Fan doesn't have to compete with the examiners on this matter.

The spring is about to begin, and the major inns and restaurants are full of people from afar.The third floor of Yueyi Building is an open hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people. The scenery is beautiful, and there are many poems and characters on the wall, which were written by former champions and current court officials, so they are very popular. Those who came to Beijing favored it.Today there is a table of people from Jiangsu who are having a party, so we can get in touch with each other by the way.

He Lin, the first name in the township examination, was born in a scholarly family, and his ancestors produced many capable ministers who would go on to become officials.His great-grandfather's generation gradually declined, but his father never relaxed in the education of his children and grandchildren. In addition, He Lin was smart and well-written since childhood, so it can be seen that he can make great progress.As the patriarch's father, he had high expectations of him, and he did not disgrace his mission. He walked all the way, from Linsheng to Xie Yuanxiansha.However, because he concentrated on studying since he was a child, he rarely communicated with outsiders, and his personality was a little naive and ignorant of world affairs, so it was difficult for him to offend people and be excluded by others.

It is said that I come to the restaurant to learn poetry, but in fact, everyone has a small child in their hearts. This restaurant located in the downtown area of ​​the capital has always been full of dignitaries. If one is lucky enough to be favored by a noble person, one may get a recommendation post , Reaching the sky in one step, which will play a vital role in their future development in the capital circle.So naturally everyone is vying to perform, wishing to write a bunch of poems a few days in advance, for fear that the performance on the spot will not be refined enough.

For He Lin, who is somewhat different, everyone is quite critical, and under the instigation of some caring people, he is gradually isolated.But he didn't take it seriously, and sat firmly in an inconspicuous corner, listening to other people's chatter.It was only when he arrived in the capital that he realized what it meant to be someone beyond others. It turned out that there were so many people with good articles and good family backgrounds. In comparison, he was indeed an inconspicuous one among them.

After Yongzhang and Yongxuan were full of food and wine for two, they finally couldn't resist their curiosity. With their round belly, they set foot on the third floor to visit the legendary Juzi.The atmosphere upstairs was lively when we arrived.Seeing this group of three half-grown teenagers in brocade clothes and a dozen well-trained attendants behind them, they were shocked by their aura, and everyone on the third floor paused for a moment.

Yichun got a hint from Yongxuan, took a step forward to block their scrutiny, and explained with a smile: "The two young masters of my family heard that the upstairs is composing poems, so they came up to gain insights. I hope I didn't disturb you. Please continue." ,continue."

Zhou Rong, who was the leader among the disciples, took a step forward: "Brother, you are being polite. Please feel free, young masters."

While they were talking, the shopkeeper had already got the news, so he came up in person, and led the two young masters to sit down at a seat by the window where they could look at the street view without being disturbed by others, and could have an overview of the third floor. , asked the guard to come forward to offer a reward, and the guard handed over a 20 taels of silver ingot. After drinking tea, they retreated.

The two brothers just raised their heads and looked at each other, and then began to chat in a low voice. Yongzhang would touch Yongxuan's head from time to time. The atmosphere at the table is warm and harmonious.Yichun stood respectfully behind Yongzhang, without looking sideways, and only answered when asked about him.Anyone can see that their family background is extraordinary, but look at the dozen or so guards standing in a row not far away without making a sound.Those who wanted to come forward to talk could only stay away, and the others continued to talk, but there were always people looking at the table of the two of them.

Zhou Rong also wanted to go up to make friends, but he didn't even look at them. If he went up rashly, he would be suspected of flattery.His father is a high-ranking official, and his uncle is a second-rank court official, a true minister of the emperor, and he is naturally more proud than others.

His articles have always been top-notch, and the gentleman hired by his family said that he would definitely have no problem passing the Jinshi examination.However, that is not his goal. Of course, the higher the ranking, the better. It is best to get the top three in the palace examination.At the same time, he is also very good at management. When he first entered the capital, he took the greeting cards from his father and uncle to visit his old friends at home and uncle.Those who know him well know that he is well-connected and has a good family background. Except for the lofty He Lin, the students in Jiangsu gradually follow his lead.

So he organized this poetry meeting to give He Lin a bad start.If Lin loses in the article, he wins back in other ways.He had to make He Lin understand that means are often more useful than a few sour poems most of the time.After everyone had discussed with He Lin openly and secretly, Zhou Rong smiled kindly, "Since everyone's works have been exchanged, Brother He, can you let me see your masterpiece later?" His The tone was serious, but it made a few people who disdain He Lin's fake nobility chuckle.

Although He Lin is a bit simple, it's just because of the simple environment at home. These days, if others reject him intentionally or unintentionally, if he can't tell, he will be a real nerd.However, he was not a competitive person at all, before leaving the house, his father told him with a straight face: the capital city is no better than his hometown, so don't fight for a while when you get there.

He has listened to his father the most since he was a child. He just glanced at the dozens of poems about plums hanging on the wall, spread out a piece of rice paper, picked up a wolf hair brush, and said in one fell swoop: "Traveling the plum blossoms to survive the rain , the stone path resounds with the sound of the staff. Cloud shadows and flowers light up, pines and rocks quarrel with each other. The rhyme is suitable for the Zen couch to relax in, and the door of the garden of love is broken. Walking. Looking at the vast sea of ​​fragrant snow, it is good to inscribe my name on the side of the mountain.”

The smooth and flowing beauty of the brushwork can be seen from hard work.When everyone read his poems, they were compared with the previous ones. The people who had just satirized him couldn't hold back their faces, and there was an embarrassing silence for a while.

The two children also paid attention to the movement there at the beginning. They came up to see what kind of pillars of the country they Huang Ama wanted to recruit. They didn't expect the reality to be very disappointing.They are from the same township, and they are also Juren of the court, but they are still fighting among themselves when the exam is about to come. Such a person cannot be caught in their eyes.

Just about to go elsewhere in disappointment, Yong Xie noticed that the young man who was sitting in the corner, who had been besieged by words with a calm expression, showed no hesitation on his face, as if what others said didn't affect him much, and he had a chest There are some hills and valleys.Seeing his poems and characters again, the third elder brother Yongzhang, who has always loved writing and ink, couldn't help but praise him.Although the boy's voice was clear and soft, it sounded in the quiet space, and everyone turned their heads to look over.
