The Bandit Gentleman of the Red Chamber

In his eyes, it was Lin Chen who did not take pleasure in things, and proved that he was humble and polite.

———————————————Demarcation line ———————————————

Sure enough, as expected by everyone in the capital, on the third day after Lin Chen's coronation ceremony, Lin Hai went to Gu's family to propose a marriage for Lin Chen, and he asked for Gu Qingsong's second daughter, Gu Yanran, Miss Gu.

Although Gu Yanran is only the second daughter, she has a beautiful face and a virtuous temperament. It is rumored that she is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is quite famous among the noble girls in the capital.In addition, her sister was born with a weak disease, and she was favored by eminent monks when she was young, and she entered Qing'an nunnery early to lead her cultivation.Therefore, rather than being the second daughter, Gu Yanran's actual status in the Gu family is no different from that of the eldest daughter.

As for Lin Chen's success at a young age, his temperament and demeanor can be glimpsed as early as today when he was interested in him as a Tanhualang. It can be seen that his talent and appearance are also good.

All of a sudden, Gu and Lin's family wanted to marry Qin and Jin, and the news that Lin Chen and Miss Gu were a match made in heaven spread all over the capital, and became the talk of the ladies when they got together.

If Mother Jia was skeptical when the news spread in the capital that Gu Lin's family intended to get married, then since Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and brought back the news that Gu Qingsong was the guest of honor from Lin Chen's coronation ceremony, Mother Jia was completely skeptical. Believe the rumors that the two are going to get married.

Therefore, when she heard the news that the Lin family proposed marriage and the Gu family accepted, Mother Jia felt a little resigned to her fate.After all, there is indeed more than one grade difference between my family Tanchun and the Gu family's daughter-in-law.

But if she thinks like this, it doesn't mean that other people think the same way. At this time, Mrs. Wang sat down in the hall with a face of resentment, and said bitterly: "The Lin family is really too ruthless. We agreed to kiss you earlier. Marriage, but his family went to propose marriage to the Gu family again! Doesn't this make it clear that we don't take our Rongguo Mansion seriously!"

This so-called "marriage" was obviously a hot topic among them, but when Mrs. Wang mentioned it, it was an agreement between the two families, and she blamed the Lin family for all the mistakes.

Mother Jia has always looked down on this daughter-in-law's erratic temperament, but at this time she was also angry, so she didn't bother to reprimand her, but said impatiently: "My daughter-in-law of the Gu family is of such a noble background. It’s also because of being a concubine in the palace. Now I can be matched with Brother Lin. To put it bluntly, it’s really lucky for Brother Lin to climb a high branch. It’s just that his family and ours are real relatives. Hello, the Lin family Well, our family will be fine."

Although Jia's mother was angry, it wasn't really because of the Lin family's refusal to engage her own family. What she was really angry about was that Lin Hai "privately" engaged Lin Chen without discussing it with her.In her eyes, the affairs of the court are nothing more than that, but it is she, the inner elder, who should take care of the family affairs of the inner house of the younger generation.

But in Lin Chen's marriage, Lin Hai not only passed her, but also asked Zhuang You's stepwife Zhang Luo, which made Jia's mother extremely dissatisfied.

However, it is a good relationship between Lin's family and Lin's family, and Jia's mother is also very happy to be married to the always noble Gu's family.Besides, the dust had settled at this time, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only comfort herself by thinking about the benefits this marriage brought to her family.

It's just that Mrs. Wang has never understood the meaning of other people's words. She really thought that Mother Jia was satisfied with Lin Chen's marriage, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Tan Chun is also a girl from the Duke's Mansion, what kind of character is she?" You are also clear about sex, who in our house can go beyond her? I grew up with Lin Geer since I was a child, and I know everything about it, but his family looks down on Tanchun, so I found another one. A decent marriage, his family is already decent, what face do you want our family to have Tanchun?"

In fact, the reason why Mrs. Wang is so keen on making Lin Chen and Tanchun's marriage is because the phrase "kissing each other and getting closer" that Jia's mother always said fell on the heads of Tanchun and Lin Chen's cousins. superior.When Baoyu became Lin Chen's eldest brother-in-law, Mother Jia wouldn't say "marry Lin girl, and Baoyu will have an arm in the court" about Baoyu's marriage in the future.It is also because of this that Mrs. Wang has repeatedly hinted in front of Tanchun that the honor of a girl in the boudoir is more important than her life, and let her get closer to Lin Chen.

But now Lin Chen already has a better marriage, that is to say, Mrs. Wang's wishful thinking has come to nothing, so why isn't she annoyed!

How could Mother Jia not be aware of her tricks?He snorted coldly and reprimanded: "You just accept those ghosts' thoughts! You still have the face to blame others. What did you say when I told you not to mention this case in front of Yu'er? I told you to let Tan girl What do you do when you seldom come out to meet the guests of the Lin family? They are scholars who pay attention to red tape the most, and now you are not worthy of being looked down upon by others, how dare you shout here?"

Her words were urgent and heavy, it could be seen that she was really angry, Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she stood up from her chair, afraid to speak.

After talking for such a long time, Jia's mother was also a little tired. She didn't bother to pay attention to Mrs. Wang who was restless. She waved her hand and said, "You go back now. It's about the name of the scout girl. You must cover this matter tightly for me. Not even a single sliver is allowed to leak out." Mrs. Wang hurriedly agreed in a low voice, and quietly backed away.

Mother Jia lowered her head and fiddled with a bergamot bergamot on the table. After a long while, she sighed, "If Tan girl is a descendant... hey..."

66 chapter

On June 20th, Xingping 24th, after a whole month of careful preparation by the Ministry of Rites, the Emperor finally issued an order for a southern tour. Among the concubines in the harem, Empress Zhuang, Concubine Gu De, and Concubine Rong Yi were all appointed to accompany her. .In this way, the highest-ranking concubines in the harem are Concubine Zhen Xian, Concubine Gao Hua, Empress Yizhi, and the two concubines are in charge of palace affairs. (Note [-])

Among the princes, the prince would naturally not be able to accompany him if he wanted to stay in the capital to supervise the country, so today he ordered the three princes Zhong Zhong, Zhong Heng, and Zhong Dun, as well as the Prince Lian who had been silent for many years to accompany him.This was originally Ji Wen's first appearance after becoming a prince, and it should have been extremely eye-catching.

It's just that I don't know that Prince Lian was invited to accompany him today. Prince Zhongdun's "recovery" is naturally not as shocking as the news of King Lian's resurgence. This time, King Lian attracted Ji Wen a lot. Attention goes by.Although he was surprised by his father's thoughts, Ji Wen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It was already difficult for him to become a prince, so naturally he should keep a low profile as much as possible now.

In fact, today, the crown prince has lost the unreserved pampering and love that he had in the past few years, but after all, he is the beloved son who has been loved for decades in the palm of his hand. Can it be cut off in a while?Now the prince will stay alone in the capital to handle government affairs, although Prince Zhongyu also stayed in the capital, but he can't let go of his mind at the moment, so he has to ask the prince to explain in detail.

But in the eyes of the princes who have not received much attention since childhood, this is another feeling.At this time, Ji Wen was standing with several brothers who had been crowned princes, watching with a cold eye the Imagami and the prince who had a deep father-son relationship at the city gate.

He just glanced at it lightly and then looked away. He didn't intend to listen to the conversation between the two, but bowed his head in a respectful manner.He was in a trance when he suddenly felt his sleeves being tugged lightly by someone, he quickly raised his head as if nothing had happened, only to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking towards him.

Ji Wen saluted with several princes, and the prince hurriedly said with a smile: "Between brothers, there is really no need to be too polite."

As he spoke, he passed Prince Zhongcheng and Prince Zhongheng, helped Ji Wen up with his own hands, and said with a more gentle smile: "If I remember correctly, this is the first time for you to accompany Xiaojiu, right? Although Jiangnan is beautiful and rich, you can be accompanied But you can't be idle, Xiaojiu, you can learn a lot and gain a lot of knowledge by following your father these days." He said and sighed, "Your body is just right and you have to run around, and you can't bear it as a brother. , I just thought about my father's great blessings, Xiaojiu, if you can look up to the sky all the time, you may be able to recover faster."

Ever since the crown prince was reinstated, he has become obsessed with his own identity, almost always using titles like "solitary" and "this prince" (Note [-]) to show his identity, but now he is One mouthful of "I" and "Xiao Jiu" showed the closeness with Ji Wen.Although it has been known for a long time that Prince Zhongdun is the prince's right-hand man, but in public, the prince's intimacy seems a bit artificial.

At this time, not only the princes, but also some ministers who stood close cast their eyes on Ji Wen. Ji Wen gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, but she still replied respectfully: "My brother thanked you for your sympathy, now my minister My body is already in good health, and I have my father's blessings to protect me, so I am not afraid of the long journey to the south of the Yangtze River. Besides, I can get my father's favor, and my younger brother will definitely be happy and sleep every night, so as to live up to the grace of heaven."

What he said was well-regulated, neither far nor near, not at all the intimacy that the prince showed earlier.The prince laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's rare for you to have such kindness. It's a good thing for you to share your father's worries, but you have to take care of your own body. If you come back tired You are like a sick cat, this crown prince wants you to look good!"

Ji Wen complied with a smile.

All the ministers saw it, but they thought of the rumors that the Zhongdun Prince Yuqing Palace was injured a few days ago, and they couldn't help but secretly admired the two princes' superficial skills in their hearts.

In the past few months, the crown prince has often been reprimanded by the emperor because of Ji Wen's affairs. What he did today is to quell the rumors and prove that they were only spread secretly by someone with a heart. The relationship between the two brothers is obviously very good. of.

But once people are pushed into a hurry, they tend to do stupid things. The reason why rumors are called rumors is that they have no strong evidence at all. In the end, they are just gossip. Few people really take it seriously. son of a bitch.If the crown prince has been unable to blow by the eight winds, the rumors will subside after a long time.But he had to come out so clumsily, and fall into the eyes of everyone, the prince must have a guilty conscience to show his favor to Prince Zhongdun wholeheartedly.

The prince thought that his goal had been achieved, so he exchanged a few words with Ji Wen and then went there.On the other side, Ji Wen watched the Prince's back walking away, and quietly tugged on the sleeve of the loyal prince Ji Lian. The two smiled at each other, and then turned their heads to greet the people around them.

After drinking the farewell wine offered by the crown prince himself, and boarding the imperial chariot, the other accompanying princes and ministers also boarded their carriages, and together with the [-] heavily armed Imperial Forest Army, a group of people marched forward Depart from Beijing.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Because the imperial edict was unavoidable along the way today, the Imperial Academy responsible for drafting the edict naturally had to be accompanied by someone.Except for the editor Zhao Xuechen who stayed in the capital, Lin Chen and the others who were newly promoted to the Imperial Academy were all brought out by their respective leaders.It's just that Lin Chen's official position is low, so the carriage he was riding in was naturally at the back of the convoy, and there was an unknown distance between Ji Wen who was the prince.

However, as a privileged class, Lin Chen only sat in the carriage assigned to the newly promoted Hanlin for half a day. When the motorcade stopped to rest at noon, a servant in Tsing Yi came to pass the message: "I don't know who is Lord Xiaolin, The head of the family, Mr. Wei, a scholar in charge of the Hanlin Academy, invited Mr. Xiaolin to come over, saying that he has something to discuss."

Lin Chen stepped forward and responded with a smile, then turned to Ai Qingyuan and Chen Wentao and said, "Since Master Wei summoned me, I am going to excuse myself."

Ai Qingyuan said with a smile: "Since that's the case, Zijia should go over quickly, don't let the venerable wait for a long time."

Lin Chen bowed his hands to them, and followed the servant in Tsing Yi who came over.

When he arrived, Zhang Yan was sitting with Lin Hai, and there were a few adults who had some contacts with Gu Lin's family. It seemed that they had already finished discussing business matters, so these adults stayed here at this time. It was just to meet Lin Chen. (Note [-])

He hurriedly bowed to Lin Hai first, and then to several adults present, calling him "Uncle Shi" and "Uncle Shi".Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Zijia come to me, and let them see the great talents of our Imperial Academy." As the only outstanding existence among the children of this generation of aristocratic families, Lin Chen really deserves it The word "talented scholar".

After hearing Zhang Yan's teasing, Lin Chen walked over with a smile, showing no embarrassment after being teased by his elders.The other adults had to say a few more words of praise, full of compliments, and after Lin Chen answered them one by one with a smile, they didn't stay any longer and got up to leave one after another.

After the adults had left, Zhang Yan smiled at Lin Chen: "Now that there are no outsiders, my nephew doesn't need to be polite. Sit down and rest quickly, and I have to go on my way soon."

Since Zhang Yan himself said that there were no outsiders, Lin Chen naturally would not refuse, so he sat down on a chair beside him and smiled at Zhang Yan: "Thank you Shibo for your understanding, my nephew was really bumped and damaged during this journey, now I'm feeling weak all over, and I'm going to rest in Ansheng."

Lin Hai reprimanded from the side: "You can't bear hardships at such a young age, but you don't know where you will rest in the future!" But although he was reprimanding, there was a look of concern in his eyes.

Knowing that Lin Hai was just trying to put on airs of a strict father in front of outsiders, and didn't really scold him, Lin Chen didn't stand up, but sat on the chair and said with a smile: "It's not that my son can't bear hardships, but it's really The carriage is dizzy. Father knows that the son can't stand the bumps in the carriage. Now I only hate that I am not a general, and I can ride a horse to defend the king."

Seeing his playful smile, Lin Hai scolded him again: "The elder is in front, laughing and laughing freely, you are getting more and more out of shape."

Zhang Yan hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Nephew Lin's problem is that I have heard from my youngest son. It is also because the carriages of your young officials are a bit crude, and they are not as comfortable as our old bones. Since my nephew is so uncomfortable, I might as well sit on it." Come to my carriage, my carriage is wide, nephew Lin Xian can help me with some general affairs after passing by."

In fact, Lin Chen has no problem with carriage sickness. He just said this to give Zhang Yan a reason to keep him. Give him this chance. (Note [-])

Lin Chen stayed in the carriage of the second rank official, and he still remembered to send a letter to Ai Qingyuan and Chen Wentao, but what the two of them thought after hearing the news was none of Lin Chen's business.

Taking two taels of silver to the Tsing Yi servant who sent the message, Ai Qingyuan turned his head and smiled at Chen Wentao: "It seems that Zijia won't be able to come back for a while, and then only the two of us will be with him. You have to rely on obscurity a lot." Said

Chen Wentao also said with a smile: "Since that's the case, why don't we kill each other once, so as to relieve the long day's boredom and the loneliness of the journey."

As he spoke, he took out the chessboard placed in the carriage, handed Heizi over, and motioned for Ai Qingyuan to go first.

Ai Qingyuan's eyes lit up, he picked up sunspots and placed them on the plate, and said with a smile: "Huizhi invites you, how dare you refuse to obey?"

It's just that although the two of them are smiling, they both know that what is surging in the other's heart at this moment is the same dark thoughts as their own...

The author has something to say: Note [-]: Do you still remember the Zhen family?Concubine Zhen Xian is naturally the daughter of the Zhen family. Her hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the destination of today's southern tour, but she was not taken out today... So, the favorite of the Zhen family these years It is quite weak.

Note [-]: Gu: Of course labor and management know that this is not a self-proclaimed name for the prince (picking the nose), but labor and management write it in an empty way! ! ! ! PS: I feel that when I say the above paragraph again, my whole body is full of attacking aura! ! !There is wood! ! !

Note [-]: Well, in the eyes of these adults, Lin Chen has a bright future~~~ That is, the capital of political investment, grouping and so on, we all understand~~~

Besides, they were already hugging the Lin family~~~

Note [-]: The author's integrity? ? ?Was it eaten by a dog~~

67 chapter

Because the Son of Heaven was traveling, for the sake of safety and comfort today, although their journey looked mighty, they actually moved very slowly.Although the large army has set off for seven full days, it has not even arrived at the first stop of the southern tour - Dezhou, Shandong.

It is precisely because of this that, apart from the few adults who are in high positions and have joined the cabinet, among the people accompanying the Imperial Academy, the rest are very leisurely.And Lin Chen was by Zhang Yan's side only because he was taking care of him, and all the important military matters were not easily accessible by his age and qualifications, so Lin Chen spent the past few days very leisurely.

On this day, the large troops stationed in Xushui (Note [-]). Today, I like this river and river, and I will stay here for a few days to enjoy the local scenery.And Lin Chen, as a seventh-rank editor, is of course not qualified to accompany him. That is to say, he can wander freely in Xushui County these few days and appreciate the customs and customs of this place.

Naturally, Lin Chen would not miss such a good opportunity, because Feng Ziying, the son of General Shenwu, was also in the team driving the southern tour, so Lin Chen simply invited him to play with him.

Although Feng Ziying is the legitimate son of the famous General Feng Tangfeng, it is a pity that this son was not born with martial arts and thought that dancing with a gun was extremely vulgar, so he was not willing to take over his father's position and continue to shine for the protection of Dayong Mountains and Rivers.It's just that he's not good at studying. A boy student failed the exam three times. When he was about to take the exam for the fourth time, General Feng finally broke out. In Bailong Forbidden Captain.

In Lin Chen's mind, this person is a standard dude who has nothing to do and can only rely on his parents but is pretentious.It's just that this Feng Ziying is different from Xue Pan's bullying children. He was born with a leftist nature, and he was a bit of a knight-errant in his bones.It is precisely because of this that Lin Chen feels that this son is indeed a person who can get along with each other.

It's just that Lin Chen had just met Feng Ziying and was about to go out together, when he saw Ai Qingyuan and Chen Wentao approaching, Lin Chen hurriedly stepped forward to welcome them into this room and left it to him. He then ordered the servants to serve tea, and then smiled at the two of them: "Today, by coincidence, I was going to find you two to go out for a stroll together, but you two came here by yourself."

Ai Qingyuan casually glanced at the man in purple shirt sitting next to Lin Chen, and said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, Huizhi and I also want you to swim together in this Xushui landscape and enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers together." Well. Since we have thought of a place, why don't we set off early?" He looked at Feng Ziying with a smile and said, "I don't know who this brother is?"

Lin Chen hurriedly pointed to Feng Ziying and recommended: "This one is the youngest son of General Shenwu, Shang Zixiaying, whose name is Youliang, Feng Ziying, Mr. Feng." Pointing to Ai Qingyuan and Chen Wentao, he said to Feng Ziying with a smile: "These two They are my colleagues, namely Lang Ai Zixiu, the champion of the new division, and Chen Wentao, the second in the ranking."

Feng Ziying's family background is decent, and she acts uninhibited, so she is very famous in the capital.And Ai and Chen are the top three in the new department, and Feng Ziying has also heard of them.So at this time, Lin Chen just mentioned it briefly, and they knew each other's background in their hearts, and they started to greet each other.

Lin Chen watched Feng Ziying and Ai Qingyuan deal with each other with a smile, and smiled after a long while: "It's getting late now, if we don't set off yet and wait for the sun to come out later, it will be a bad feeling."

The four of them left their seats, and Lin Chen ordered a few words to the servant in green clothes standing beside him, and then walked out together with Feng Ziying—but in front of Ai Qingyuan.He is only a seventh-rank editor now, so he should stand behind Ai Qingyuan.Happily...

After the group sat in the carriage, Ai Qingyuan was still a little dazed. He looked at the interior of this extremely elegant carriage.He is also considered to be from a wealthy family, but with his eyesight, he can only understand the purpose of half of the items, and the rest are unheard of and unseen.

But at this time Feng Ziying was still complaining: "After all, I am traveling, and the tea I eat is not even half of what I have at home. And this carriage, I am afraid it is something bought from an incense shop outside. The sweet and greasy taste of the stock." As he spoke, he poured the tea in his hand into the three-legged white jade incense burner, and actually extinguished the Huan Yi Xiang, which cost at least 20 taels of silver for a cake (Note [-]) .

Lin Chen knew that he rashly let Ai and Chen join in and made Feng Ziying unhappy. Seeing him making use of the topic, he could only smile slightly and said, "You also know that we are outside, so naturally we can't compare to the comfort at home. It's just that we They didn’t come here for the enjoyment of leisure, but for the life and death of thousands of people along the Yellow River. Now that even the sages can live and sleep for the people, how can we who read the books of sages stay out of the matter and complain about our own situation instead?”

As mentioned in the previous article, Feng Ziying hated dancing with guns and sticks the most in his life, and liked to act like a scholar. Even if he was kicked into the barracks by his own father, he was still eager to study.Now that Lin Chen's words were linking him with some of the best scholars present, Feng Ziying was naturally extremely satisfied.Most of the resentment towards Lin Chen for dragging these two "outsiders" (Note [-]) in in his heart disappeared, but he still gave Lin Chen a cold snort.

Although Lin Chen has long had a deep understanding of this moody Lin Chen, he just smiled and ignored Feng Ziying, who was suffocating, and turned to Ai and Chen with a smile: "He is the one in this picture." I don't care about your temper. It's just that the tea is wild tea grown by local farmers in Xushui, and it's fried with their own earthen recipe. I tasted it and thought it was better than those tribute teas in Beijing. Youliang has never been good at the tea ceremony, so Zixiu might as well try it.”

Ai Qingyuan also took a sip of the tea when he heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "It is fragrant and elegant, fresh and refreshing, with a sweet aftertaste, this wild tea is a bit like... like the blind tea that my father once got, It seems to be called something 'frightening incense'."

Lin Chen is not good at tea ceremony, but Ji Wen likes these tea leaves very much, so Lin Chen also has a habit of collecting tea, and whenever he goes, he must see the famous local tea.And this kind of wild tea, which is called "Green Luo" by the locals, was collected by Lin Chen who specially sent the servants accompanying the Lin family, and he kept it because he felt that this tea had something in common with that Biluochun. I took it down and prepared to give it to Ji Wen for enjoyment.

At this time, Biluochun's reputation was not obvious at all, so how could Ai Qingyuan, a country gentleman from Shandong, know about it.In addition, according to Lin Chen's information, Ai Qingyuan has no relatives from Huguang, and Ai's father has never been out of Shandong territory, and it is impossible to have any contact with Huguang. It can be seen that Ai Qingyuan lied.Perhaps he was so surprised that he yelled something, but then he woke up halfway and covered it up.

It's just that Lin Chen understood the eight | nine of them, and he was in a better mood at this time. He turned his head and smiled at Chen Wentao: "An elegant person like Zixiu agrees, so it can be seen that this tea is really good, an obscure product In the future, some people are not allowed to be so reckless, and feed my tea to the incense burner again."

Chen Wentao always just watched them bickering and joking, but he never got involved, he was the most taciturn person.At this moment, he suddenly heard Lin Chen talk to him, he was a little embarrassed, smiled shyly and said: "I don't know much about tea, but this tea is fragrant and fragrant, and it is the same as Zijia brought to Hanlin a few days ago. There is no difference between the Taiping Houkui and the Taiping Houkui we tasted."

Feng Ziying, as the first person to dislike this tea, was naturally angry when she heard the three of them full of praise for this Lao Shizi. She just felt that this kid Lin Chen was making fun of him again for being a big bastard who didn't understand these elegant things.At this time, he said in a rough voice: "It's still comparable to the Peaceful Monkey Quiet! According to you, isn't this wasteful thing that can be used as a tribute tea! I said, Ah Chen, you just like to play with these useless things, and sooner or later you will be killed Master Lin taught me a lesson."

Lin Chen was just waiting for the old man to talk about tribute tea, and immediately replied: "I see that this tea really won't disgrace the word 'tribute tea', and this tea is for loyalty. His Royal Highness Prince Dun found it, but tonight I will go back to Prince Zhongdun and let him taste it, to see if the tea is capable of being presented to the imperial court!"

Ai Qingyuan's expression changed immediately, and he wanted to say something, but he held back after all, and sat in the carriage gloomily without speaking.

Although Feng Ziying was a martial artist (although he himself beat him to death and refused to admit it), he was also careful. Seeing Ai Qingyuan's virtue, he knew in his heart that Lin Chen was going for this new champion.It's just that Ai Qingyuan is only a sixth-rank editor, neither has a family background, nor is he particularly outstanding. The only thing that is special is that he is a champion every three years. Why does Lin Chen keep staring at such a person? put?Feng Ziying felt that her head was really not enough...

Lin Chen didn't bother to pay attention to Mr. Feng who was confused. He was in a good mood and wandered around the outskirts of Xushui. Reduce his interest by half.It's a pity that Feng Ziying was struggling with the incident just now, and Ai Qingyuan was a little absent-minded because of the previous matter, so Lin Chen could only talk to Chen Wentao, who was not good at words, along the way.

As soon as he returned to the minister's residence outside the palace, Lin Chen handed a note to an unremarkable servant, and asked him to pass it to the strict minister (Note [-]).After all this was done, he didn't care how much Ai Qingyuan would be entangled when he went back tonight, so he washed himself up and fell asleep.

Silent all night.

The author has something to say: Note [-]: Qingdai just randomly picked up a place name in Hebei Province... If there is a relative in Xushui... please WS me

Note [-]: Zhen Huan's legend is lying on the gun...... My integrity has long been eaten by dogs......

Note [-]: "Outsiders": It's not about the close relationship between Feng Ziying and Lin Chen, but because they are all descendants of aristocratic families, they are only in the same circle, and grass roots such as Ai Qingyuan and Chen Wentao are naturally An outsider in Feng Ziying's eyes.

Note [-]: Yan Yanchen, the long history of Ji Wen~~~~ I'm afraid everyone will forget

68

Shengjia has stayed in Xushui for three days, but he has no intention of leaving today. He only said that he likes the beautiful scenery of Xushui. Today, he wanted to go to Ziyan Mountain on the outskirts of Xushui on a whim. All princes and ministers, Lin Chen and the others are among them.

The scenery of Ziyan Mountain is not much worse if the emperor can come and enjoy it in person, but the mountain does not look majestic from a distance, but it is really not easy for people to walk in it.

Today, as the Son of Heaven, it is natural that he does not have to climb the mountain by himself, and those old courtiers have also received a decree to go up the mountain with a sliding pole.So there are only a few princes, Lin Chen and others who really walked up this road by themselves.

Prince Zhongheng was born in the army, and Prince Lian was also on the battlefield. Naturally, the idea of ​​mountain roads is not to be taken seriously. Lin Chen has been exercising frequently since he was a child, and his body is also strong.But apart from the three of them, Prince Loyalty and Ai Chen are both out-and-out nerds, and this is probably the first time they have traveled such a long distance, and their faces turned pale and sweated profusely from exhaustion early on (Note [-]).Although Ji Wen walked easily, but for the authenticity of "healed from a serious illness", she had to pretend to be extremely tired.

So when the group of people reached the top of the mountain, after seeing Prince Zhongheng, who was looking normal, he got a little out of breath when he saw Prince Zhongheng's out of breath, and scolded: "But this idea of ​​the mountain road, you will die of exhaustion. Tired of work, I, Dayong, came to conquer the world on horseback, and there are descendants like you who are not worthy of expectations!"

Concubine Gu De has always been quite respectable in front of Jin Shang, and her son Sheng Chong is naturally not bad.After hearing Jinshang's words, Ji Lian not only did not show panic, but leaned forward and cupped his fists in a salute and said, "Father, you are naturally a person who is both civil and military, and how can your sons compare to that?" Half a point. Besides, the son in martial arts is really dull, so he had to make do with this knowledge first, thinking that no matter what, there must be a place that can look up to his father's neck, so as not to fall into his father's name in time. Think about it Fifth brother also thinks the same way as my son, fifth brother, do you think so?"

Prince Zhongheng answered with a smile, then cupped his hands and said to Jin Shang: "Reporting to Father Emperor is exactly what the third brother said."

Today he said with a hearty smile: "You brothers are of the same mind, how dare you play tricks on me together. You always say you want to learn from me, third child, but you don't know who you learned your slick tongue from?" The sage laughed, and everyone naturally Laughing as well, Lin Chen stood at the end of the crowd and watched Prince Loyalty play tricks, the corners of his mouth twitched inexplicably.

Because they are here to enjoy the scenery, naturally there are no such big rules as in the court. Early on, some palace people set up tables and chairs on the platform of the top of the mountain according to the terrain, and put wine and fruits.So that you nobles can enjoy the beautiful scenery while tasting the fine wine.

Today, I sat at the head first, and all the ministers and workers pleaded guilty to the head, and then sat down one by one.Lin Chen and the others naturally sit at the end, but because there are few people, even if they are at the end, they can clearly see the top, that is to say, their every move is also in the eye.The emperor just wanted to be close at hand, so Ai Qingyuan and Chen Wentao couldn't help but become a little cautious in their movements. Even Lin Chen didn't dare to be presumptuous, and sat with him at the bottom seat in a well-behaved manner.

In the past, Ji Lian said that today's literary and martial arts are both good, but it is not all flattery, at least today's literary attainments are indeed not vulgar.At this time, seeing the beautiful scenery of Ziyan Mountain, he was naturally very enthusiastic about poetry, and he chanted a song of Qilu casually, and all the ministers and workers naturally applauded.

Today, he laughed and said: "Although Xushui is a small place, it has beautiful mountains and rivers and simple folk customs. Although I intend to compose a poem to praise its beauty, I am really not good at poetry. All the gentlemen here are talented and knowledgeable." If you are a senior, you might as well give it a try." It means asking them to compose poems.

At this time, some palace people had already set up a big case in another spacious place, presented paper and pens one after another, and lit a stick of incense beside it.

Apart from civil servants such as Gu Hong, Zhang Yan, and Lin Hai, there were also military generals such as Feng Tang and Prince Zhongheng who accompanied them along the way. Naturally, they would not get involved in the elegant affairs of these literati, and avoided them early. I started drinking.

As for Lin Chen and the others, as this year's new division Jinshi, they are naturally the key candidates for the examination today. Therefore, Lin Hai and the others just swayed a few perfunctory words and sang a song of Qilu, but Lin Chen and the others are still in the middle school. Think hard, only to be perfect.

After the incense burnt out, everyone's poems were also obtained, and Prince Loyalty transcribed them in lower case and presented them to the present.

———————————————————— I am the dividing line——————————————————————

Today, I just flipped through it a little, then pointed at a piece of writing paper and said with a smile: "Who is the author of this song 'Qingliu Eternal Still Unique', it should be the first name."

Prince Loyalty stood up and replied: "This belongs to my son. It can be seen that although my son is not as good as my father in Wenzhi and martial arts, this 'wen' has half of my father's demeanor."

I have to say that Lin Chen's evaluation is extremely accurate. This loyal prince is really a fox-like character. In just one hour, he has made me laugh twice today. At this time, he even pointed at him and said with a smile: "I let you That glib guy won the first prize! Just tell me, what kind of reward do you want, and I will give you the first prize."

Ji Lian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said with a playful smile: "Then son, you have to think about it, the father is so generous, if I don't make a fortune, wouldn't it be a loss?" (Note [-])

Imam shook his head with a smile, ignored it, pointed to a piece of paper and said, "Whose song is this song? The time for a stick of incense is rare."

However, in the time it takes for a stick of incense, other people think that there is not enough time to write the first rhythm poem, but he even made the first rhythm poem.
