I drank with King Wei and Yixian and talked happily, and soon became close friends who talked about everything. After the wine was halfway through, a few young scholars not far away hugged a young man dressed like a child of an official family, and walked over to us, looking at it, he should have wanted to make friends with King Wei and Yixian, after all, these two people are famous.

This official kid is richly dressed, wears a jade crown on his head, and is about twenty-three or four years old, and his appearance is quite delicate, but his eyes have the cunning and sleek that his peers should not have.

"Student Yuan Ke is a new second-class jinshi, and he has admired the two adults for a long time, I wonder if the students are honored to have this opportunity to drink with the two adults and share the joy?"

But seeing that this son behaved politely and spoke respectfully, I was suspicious, and I didn't think much about it, so I took the initiative to give up a seat and give it to Na Yuanke.

"Yuan Ke, are you the second son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites?"

Wei Wang Xiao Zhao suddenly remembered that not long ago, his father, Shangshu Yuanzhen of the Ministry of Rites, had mentioned to him that his second son Yuan Ke had entered the office, which was nothing more than asking him to help take care of him more.

"It's the students!"

Xiao Zhao saw that this Yuan Ke was also a polite person, nodded, and said:

"A talent, don't be so polite, come in and sit!"

After speaking, he bowed, took off his boots, and when he saw me, he nodded slightly, and then sat down cross-legged near me without losing his manners.

I also nodded slightly in return, and King Wei's wine glass was handed over again, it seems that he didn't get me drunk today, and he refused to let me go.

The joy at this banquet was not reduced by half a point due to the addition of a few more people, but became more and more lively, and everyone talked eloquently and expressed their opinions.

I don't know who started talking about some new things that have happened in the capital recently. The big guy's interest was immediately raised, and they all listened attentively.

"Speaking of the recent novelty in the capital, it is naturally the gift of the top brand of the Drunken Immortal Building, the Qin Ji Suzhu girl, a full eight thousand silver coins, it is really a big anecdote in this flower street painting boat!"

"Who is so affectionate that he is willing to spend a lot of money for a beauty?"

"I've also heard that the man seems to be a genre painter, and his name is that he was born freely. ”

......

After Yuan Ke heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and said in a somewhat mocking tone:

"Genre painting?! No wonder this person is so amorous!"

Ha ha......

As soon as these words came out, the other scholars immediately burst into laughter.

Wei Wang and Yixian are both calm and calm people, so naturally they will not be swayed by the laughter of this group of young people, one drinks his wine, the other plays his own music, and enjoys himself.

I just smiled, I was really just a bad artist......

"It is reported that the sound of the piano of the Qin Ji Suzhu girl is said to be unmatched in the Beijing Music Workshop, although I have not heard it, but when I hear the sound of the adult today, I also know that the sound of the Qin Ji is not enough!"

A young scholar Xu is straightforward and fast-talking, and his speech is out of proportion, no matter how you say that Yixian is an official family, it is unspeakably expensive, and it is extremely rude to compare him with a dusty woman.

As soon as these words came out, the scholar regretted not being at the beginning, his expression was flustered, and he didn't know how to deal with himself.

Yixian is worthy of being a humble gentleman, even if he was insulted by others, he did not see the slightest anger, his hands stroked the strings, and his expression was also faint, and said:

"It is not advisable to judge the existence of things without seeing or hearing them. You have not heard the sound of the bamboo girl, and how do you know that she cannot play well?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect that Yat-sen was not angry at people comparing him to a Qin Ji, but also taught that the scholar not to speculate out of thin air, because it was based on facts.

The gentleman lowered his head a little ashamedly, and hurriedly said:

"The students are taught!"

After this incident, in addition to admiring Yat-sen even more, I also suddenly had doubts in my heart, I have heard Suzhu's piano sound, her piano sound is elegant and does not merge with the world, this quality is somewhat similar to Yixian, think about it carefully, where else do I seem to have heard such a similar tune, where is it?

"I'm afraid the sound of this Suzhu girl's piano is rare to smell. ”

Yuan Ke meant that the Suzhu girl is now worth so much, and it is really not something that ordinary people can move lightly. Then he thought about it, glanced at me, the corners of his mouth rose, and said:

"Speaking of Drunken Immortal Building, I think of the top brand a few years ago is also a Qin Ji, I have heard her piano sound, this song is only because there is heaven, it is rare to hear it in the world!"

"Oh, Brother Yuan is so highly praised, he must also be a jade man, right?"

The scholars didn't expect that there was actually a qin girl with such superb piano skills, thinking that they couldn't invite that Suzhu girl, and it was enough to comfort their lives to see this girl's demeanor!

Everyone only cares about the whim, but ignores the "a few years ago" that Yuan Ke said.

My eyes couldn't help but sink, this Yuan Ke is really not a good stubble, and the hand holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously.

"It's a pity, that catkins girl has already died of her fragrance, and she is jealous!"

Yuan Ke said as he expressed infinite sadness and regret.

There was a sigh of emotion around, and some people couldn't help but wonder why this woman died so early.

Just listened to Yuan Ke not hurry, and said slowly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and said:

"Affectionate is always ruthless and bitter, this catkins girl is infatuated with a scholar child, in the cold winter when the moon is over, she jumps from the bridge of tranquility, the lake is cold and biting, the catkins girl instantly sank to the bottom of the lake, and the fragrance disappeared!"

"Alas~ This catkins girl is also a temperamental, what a pity!"

"Why can't this catkins girl be so invisible, the children of the scholar clan drink and have fun, and act on the spot, how can they be taken seriously?!"

"I don't know who this son of the scholar clan is, he is so profligate, he doesn't know how to restrain himself, and he harms people's lives!"

......

My face turned pale, my whole body began to tremble, and gradually I couldn't hear what the people around me were saying.

The scene of that night suddenly came into mind, and the green shadow stood upright at the head of the bridge, and I saw her suddenly open her arms, and like a butterfly, she jumped down without hesitation......

Catkins......

I rushed over like crazy, trying to reach out and grab her, but she just staggered my hand without any hesitation, and fell straight down, without thinking, and at that moment, I jumped down with it.

The lake was so cold and cold, so cold to the bone, so that I didn't have time to perceive where she was, so I lost consciousness in an instant, and when I woke up, I had been rescued ashore, I kept shouting the name of the catkins, and the people around me kept telling me that she was dead......

"Ah, speaking of this scholar disciple, I think the senior brother should know better than me!"

As soon as Yuan Ke's words fell, everyone's eyes shot towards me, although Yuan Ke had never said anything, but some people still began to speculate whether the person Yuan Ke said was me!

Has Yuan Ke's goal finally been achieved? What grudge do I have against him, and he wants to lift my scars here, make me make a fool of myself in public, and make me miserable and embarrassed, is he happy?

What do they know? Why are they talking about catkins here? Do they deserve it?

I shattered the wine glass in my hand out of control, and shouted at Yuan Ke:

"What does this have to do with you, I want you to make a big deal out of it here, Yuan Ke, who do you think you are?"

Yuan Ke's face changed greatly, and he immediately became sincerely frightened, and hurriedly bowed down to apologize, and said:

"It's the subordinate who is rude, and the subordinates didn't say that the children of the Nashi clan are adults, please stop being angry!"

Haha, what a Yuan Ke, what a move to retreat into advance, looking at the unwilling and disdainful looks of the people around me, I am clearly a bully, a vicious person who has no target?

Isn't it just that you have a high surname, what's the big deal?

......

It seems that I have sat down with this wicked man today!

clenched his fist tightly, what kind of etiquette, morality and shame, I don't want to pay attention to it, I just want to punch Yuan Ke's villain in the face fiercely, I must not allow it, the two words catkins spit out lightly from the mouth of a despicable villain like him.

"Yuan Ke, you must know that words are like knives, and they will also hurt others and yourself, since you know that you are wrong, you can pour a glass of wine and apologize to your brother!"

The meaning of Yi Xian's words is to warn Yuan Ke not to do things too much, and to leave some leeway.

I didn't expect Yi Xian to illustrate at this time, and he chose to stand on my side, he obviously saw that this Yuan Ke deliberately used tricks to provoke me, although I don't know what Yuan Ke's intentions are, he doesn't want me

Yuan Ke pretended to be more and more respectful, and hurriedly poured a glass of wine and sent it over apologetically, for fear that the people around him would not see how pious he was and how low he was.

"Yuan Ke is young and frivolous, he doesn't know how to be polite, and he asks Brother Gao not to be surprised, drink this glass of wine, and release his suspicions, how about it?"

I can't help but sneer, I let go of my suspicions? It seems that because I am narrow-minded and don't know the general situation, I have formed this "suspicion" with him, and now he is asking for peace in a low voice, if I don't give face, won't I be a narrow-minded villain who can't tolerate people?

The wine glass was handed over, and Yuan Ke smiled like a white-eyed wolf......

The Tao is not the same, and I still disdain to be in the company of such ignorant people for the sake of this so-called clear reputation!

Pushing away the wine glass, I said coldly:

"Yuan Gongzi is polite, I can't afford to drink this glass of wine!"

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave, this wine banquet is so boring, what's the point of staying here?

"Since it's an apology, it's time to show some sincerity!"

At this moment, a powerful voice came, so full of vigor and majesty, as soon as I heard it, I knew that this person was born as a military general.

As soon as I heard the man's voice, my expression couldn't help but change, but I didn't expect him to come.

I saw that the face of the person who came was like a crown of jade, with a dignified appearance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and sharp eyes, coupled with a dignified body, and a tiger step, in a moment, it became the focus of attention.

It was none other than my uncle's son, the commander of the Imperial Guards, Gao Wei!

I saw him wearing military attache clothes every day, but today I saw him as a man of letters in deep clothes, and I felt a little nostalgic.

This scribe's costume can wear the majesty of a military general, and there are really few people in the Northern Wei Dynasty!

Gao Wei walked over, first saluted King Wei and Yixian, then glanced at Yuan Ke with an indifferent face, and then looked at me again, respectfully clasped his fists at me, and said with a smile:

"Brother, you came here today, you should be called a brother!"

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, the court had never seen how Gao Wei and Gao Chen had made friends on weekdays, although both of them were from the Gao family, wasn't there a rumor that the two of them had a bad relationship and didn't care about each other? Why did the two brothers look like brothers and sisters today, and they were happy? No wonder they all said that the rumors could not be believed.

Everyone's faces turned a little pale, just now they treated that Gao Chen like this, I don't know if this Gao Wei will settle accounts after the autumn, if this offends the Gao family, it can be said that the future is ruined!

And that Yuan Ke was already so frightened that he was drenched in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to take a breath in the air.

He originally thought that this Gao Chen was just the name of a Gao family's sons and grandchildren, his father had said that Gao Wei had never looked at Gao Chen, and now that Gao Chen was humiliated, then Gao Wei should be happy, but the cold eyes just now swept over, what was it if it wasn't angry?

Why did I hear Gao Wei call my brother again, I was also quite amused in my heart, his age is actually not much younger than me, and now he is more and more tall and mighty, and he is the commander of the Royal Forest Army, this brother shouted, I am a little embarrassed.

Alas, it is said that the elder brother should protect the younger brother, but looking at the situation, it seems to be the other way around.

As soon as Gao Wei appeared, the expressions of those scholars were already clear, and seeing that Gao Wei was respectful to my brother, those people began to regret that they should not be mean to me.

I know that this is what Gao Wei did on purpose, he just wants these people to watch, the Gao family, that is, they can bully others, that is, they can be empty-eyed!

Actually, my relationship with Gao Wei is not as bad as rumored, we grew up together, reading and learning characters are always in one place, I like to be quiet, good at reading, and he is very active and likes to practice martial arts. Although I am different from his concubine, I have never looked down on him, and he has never belittled himself because of his status as a concubine.

I often explained the scriptures with him, and he often taught me to ride a horse and shoot an archery. At that time, the Gao family was not as powerful as it is now, and at that time, we were full of enthusiasm for serving the country, looking forward to one day, we can revive the family and serve the country loyally!

Wen is Anbang, and Wu can set the country!

......

Since I left the Gao family, I have rarely spoken to him, and naturally, the relationship seems to be a little more distant.

"You nobles are busy, how can you get it at will!"

I smiled bitterly, a little tired, and the matter of Yuan Ke has nothing to do with it, now, I just want to leave this place.

turned around to say goodbye to King Wei and Yixian, and then said to Gao Wei with a smile:

"Brother Wei, you came late today, and I was a little drunk at this banquet, so I'll go back, and I'll invite you to a bar another day!"

After that, after putting on the boots, I was ready to leave.

"The younger brother is waiting for the elder brother to invite me to drink!"

What I said was a polite remark, but he knew my lazy nature, and he must have known that it was not my intention, but he forcibly made this polite remark an agreement.

It's still so strong......

"Then wait!"

I said this lightly, and then turned around and left without looking back, and as for what happened after that, I didn't have the heart to pursue it......
