I see the snow

Yinzhichuan didn't want to talk to them, but he was so troubled that he couldn't help it.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Zhao Yunsheng and his sons and sons were sitting on the horse with smiles, looking at him.

"Hey! Do you see that!"

Seeing Yinzhichuan lift the curtain, a plump, round dandy immediately shouted: "Brother Yin is bringing that young man! I'm right, give me the money!!"

The rest of the people sighed and looked sad.

——They made a bet just now, who would Yinzhichuan bring to the Wangting banquet this time.

The bettors of each son and brother are different, and Zhao Yunsheng bets on Xihuai.

"Brother Yin is not straight, how can he play with a young lady?"

Wang Weiliang's youngest son, Wang Wu, was dejected, reluctantly took out a piece of silver and put it in Zhao Yunsheng's hands:

"I'd like to see what kind of celestial being can fascinate Brother Yin."

However, Xi Huai was sitting in the carriage, and the position happened to be far away from the princes and brothers.

The dandies could only see a little bit of his profile.

"I'll go down for a while."

Yin Zhichuan sighed, and could only say, "I'll be back in a while."

The dandies have been waiting for him for a long time, and someone dismounted immediately to make room for Yin Zhichuan.

However, Yinzhichuan waved his hands and whistled, and his white horse riding the waves came galloping by itself from behind.

Yin Zhichuan turned on his back, raised his whip casually, and walked to the middle of the group of cronies.

"Brother Yin, is the young lady having fun?"

Seeing Yin Zhichuan's first words, the group of dudes really asked, "What's the difference with women?"

Yin Zhichuan guessed that their dog mouths could not spit out ivory, and immediately cast a sideways glance, saying:

"I want to know, you can find it yourself."

"It's not like you can't find one as good-looking as yours."

The friends were laughing and laughing, only Zhao Yunsheng replied seriously and frustrated:

"You think I haven't looked for it. The last time I saw you taking that boy away, I searched the entire Starfield Capital, and I couldn't find another one as 'interesting' as him."

"His eyes are so beautiful."

As if recalling Xi Huai's stunning appearance again, Zhao Yunsheng said: "It's cold and charming, like peach blossom wine in its mouth. It must be very interesting for you to bully him and cry."

Yinzhichuan thought of Xihuai's eyes, they were indeed cold and unfeeling.

During the time spent with him, Yin Zhichuan also had many bad ideas in his mind.

Let such a pair of eyes hold tears for themselves, and cry out trembling...

Now that Zhao Yunsheng said this, Yin Zhichuan could immediately imagine that scene in his mind.

He narrowed his eyes.

"I'm not as lucky as Brother Yin."

Zhao Yunsheng was still sighing, saying:

"Brother Yin, brother, I just ask you one thing. When you get tired of messing with that young man in the future, give him to me to play with. Will it work?"

Your family's concubine, my family's pet, exchange and play.This is common among dandies all the time——

It's not uncommon.

After all, women are like clothes, and brothers are brothers.

But this time, Yin Zhichuan raised the tip of his eyes a little, scanned Zhao Yunsheng from top to bottom, and said very simply:

"No loan."

"what?……"

Zhao Yunsheng asked, "Why?"

"If you don't borrow, you don't borrow."

Major General Yin glanced at him flirtatiously and frivolously, as if he was puzzled, and said, "There are so many reasons."

"Brother Yin, did you taste the taste after playing with the young lady?"

The other playmates on the side coaxed: "Brother Yin, tell me, what is the young man like?"

"I heard that young men are more energetic than women, is it true?"

"Have Brother Yin slept with that young man?"

……

There were also people who were curious, and secretly asked: "Brother Yin, does the young lady look different from those singers before..."

"Do you know how to play a little girl?"

Yinzhichuan had never touched Xihuai before, and he didn't know why Xiaowan would be liked by anyone.

But to ask such a question is to look down on Yin Zhichuan!

Young General Yin immediately smiled coldly, and the rebellious heart in his heart was aroused.Contemptuously said:

"What can't be done, isn't it just stripped naked and kissed under the body?"

"Oh--"

Everyone sighed: "Brother Yin, you really are an expert..."

Zhao Yunsheng was so sour that he almost burst into water:

"I also want to strip my dear..."

Yin Zhichuan glanced sideways at him and said:

"You are dreaming."

The person next to him rode a horse and laughed.

……

The scenery on the mountain is very beautiful, and there are many rare and rare grasses.

Some flowers and plants that didn't grow here originally were transplanted here for the Wangting banquet.For example, the winter baby grass with leaves growing outside and flower buds in the soil; the red coral that only abounds in the Huanhu River in Liangcheng; Come here, I'm afraid it will wither in a few months.

But even so, for the so-called "favor" of the king, even a glance is a favor, and it is worth paying your life for it.

People, flowers and plants... are all like this.

After Yinzhichuan brought Xihuai to the banquet, someone has been quietly watching them.

——For one thing, most of the other officials who came with them brought their regular wives.

Bringing a concubine is considered out of line, not to mention going in and out with a young man like Yin Zhichuan.

Secondly, Xihuai's appearance is also very outstanding.

He is not a man or woman, low or low, as others have guessed before.

On the contrary, he is like a cold jade, with cold eyes and brows, wearing a moon white plain shirt, and a blue paper bag hanging on his waist. [*Note 1]

Faintly, I can still see a few handfuls of letters in the paper bag.

His sitting posture was upright and elegant, his eyelashes drooping slightly, he looked like a son of a noble family and a scholarly family.

If he didn't stay by Yin Zhichuan's side, there might be a young lady in the boudoir, and he fell in love with him, so he gently asked his father whose son this was.

Yin Zhichuan ignored those probing gazes, took Xi Huai by his hand, sat down by himself, and asked him:

"Are you hungry?"

Xi Huai shook his head: "Not yet."

The rule of the Wangting banquet is that the banquet can only start after the king is seated, and no food can be eaten before that.

Yin Zhichuan said, "Just tell me if you're hungry, and I'll send someone to bring some snacks."

Xi Huai was startled: "Can I eat?"

Yinzhichuan just smiled indifferently:

"You can't do anything if you eat them."

——In short, he has always been used to testing the edge of courtiers' patience.

Yinzhichuan was leisurely drinking wine and admiring the mountain scenery, but the other sons and brothers who came with him were more or less coerced by their father, and reluctantly went out to toast.

Occasionally, I caught a glimpse of Yinzhichuan, saw that he was a beauty, and he didn't have to put on a good face to please the old men against his will. I was really envious.

"You can tell me anything you want."

Seeing Xi Huai's eyes wandering around the banquet, Yin Zhichuan said: "Why, is there anyone you know?"

At the banquet, the seats of each courtier are arranged according to their official titles.

For example, Yinzhichuan sat at the top of the rank of military officers, and opposite was Xu Zefeng, the head of civil officials and the veteran of the Three Dynasties.

The further forward the position, the higher the official position of the court official.

Xi Huai fixed his eyes on a seat opposite and asked:

"Who is that?"

"Mo Bihuan from Yushitai."

Yin Zhichuan followed his gaze, and replied: "A minister who has risen extremely quickly among civil servants can be regarded as the hottest figure in the court today."

At this time, Zhao Yunsheng's father, Minister of Rites, was holding a glass of wine and talking to him softly.

The man smiled slightly and responded slowly.He looked so kind and approachable.

"I know him."

Xi Huai stared at it for a while, but suddenly bent his lips lightly, and said in a low voice. "Is he now... already the long history of Yushitai?"

"Yes."

Yin Zhichuan said: "People are shameless, they climb very fast."

——This person, when Xihuai's father was ordered to compile national history, was just a small copyist under Ye Qingming.

He had no talent at that time, and his family was poor. It was Ye Qingming who thought that everyone who wanted to study should be treated well, so he was given a place to copy books in the Imperial Academy.

Who would have thought that this person would later avenge his kindness by accusing Xihuai's father of privately remembering state affairs.

He took Xihuai's father as a pawn to join the powerful, stepped on it, and happily joined the powerful.

At that time, Xi Huai couldn't figure it out for a long time, how could this person who had repeatedly come to his house to borrow rice from his father, and humiliated him three times, turn his face like a page, and do such a thing of revenge?

Looking at his father's old relative who is now proud of the spring breeze, Xi Huai silently tightened his fingers resting on his knee.Grab the hem of the robe.

"I heard that he used to be just a small writer who compiled the history of the country."

Yinzhichuan poured a glass of wine and said in boredom, "It's true that he doesn't have much talent."

"—To enter Yushitai requires talent and knowledge, but he can't even compose a slightly better poem. The few poems that are slightly better are all stealing other people's works. It's just picking up people's teeth. It is said that he was not in Hanlin at the beginning. Did the court copy the books?"

Xi Huai responded in a low voice, remembering that this person used to copy books, but his copying was not very good——

The handwriting is too bad.

Yin Zhichuan smiled: "It suits him. Apart from copying other people's works, he has no talent."

But in fact, the chief censor, who picks up people's teeth and wisdom, is the one who picks up Xihuai's father's poems the most.

He seemed to want to use Ye Qingming to the end, not letting go of even a little bit of spare value.

"People who do many unrighteous actions will kill themselves."

Xi Huai lowered his eyes and stuck his finger on his knee, and said in a hoarse voice: "He has done something unconscionable, and there will be retribution."

"retribution?"

However, Yinzhichuan raised his eyebrows as if he had heard a very interesting point of view, and said with a light smile, "I don't know about others, but as far as Mo Bihuan is concerned, he is on the rise and has a magnanimous official career—maybe, It's just that the person he bullied died too early, so he couldn't jump out of the coffin to challenge him."

"Isn't there anything wrong with him?"

Xi Huai was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "...Not a single one?"

Yinzhichuan propped his chin: "It's just a small one - I heard that he wanted to recommend his son to enter the Hanlin Academy, but his son was just like him, and failed the exam for many years. Now he is trying to find a way to gain connections and go through the back door Woolen cloth."

Xi Huai's face was slightly pale, and his eyes were downcast for a moment.

But if you look closely, it's not fear or anger, but a bit like contemplating before doing something.

After a long time, he lowered his eyes and smiled very lightly.

"is it?"

Xi Huai said softly: "Then he...don't even think about it in this life."
