It was noon when the frost woke up, and the two stood side by side in front of the Mingyue Tower.

The building is more than 30 feet high, with three floors, magnificent and magnificent, and is surrounded by a one-story high house on both sides, with gray tiles and white walls, which is quite elegant and indifferent.

Looking at the scholars who came and went, they were all wide-sleeved, or outstanding in green clothes, or fluttering in white, and there were many students in gray and dark clothes, who were either talking highly, or bowing their heads and contemplating, or depicting the case, for a while they only felt that there was a gathering of literary atmosphere and talents here.

"Let's go. The two stepped forward, but they saw that they were greeted by the three big characters of Mingyue Building, the strokes were strong and dignified, the style was elegant and beautiful, and a couplet on the book was "all Huai Yi Xing Zhuang Si Fei, and wanted to go to the blue sky to catch the bright moon", according to rumors, this couplet was dictated by Princess Chang'an, and Xie Juma wrote, which is one of the proofs that the couple raised their eyebrows.

The two stepped forward, and a servant dressed in brown dark clothes stepped forward, and the servant bowed to the two and saluted: "The two Lang Jun looked at the eyes, thinking that it was the first time to come to the door, I don't know if Xiao Coco can help?"

"A certain and a certain family Langjun from Pingzhou, the family suffered, only a certain and a certain family of Xiao Langjun desperately escaped, a certain took Xiao Langjun to this place, the first lady was originally a person in the capital, had to spread the news that there is a cousin in the family is a high eight buckets, will try to show his skills in September, Mingyue Lou is famous, and the scholars who go to Beijing to take the exam are not here. Han Zheng returned the salute to the servant, "Madame has been married for twenty years, and the name of the place has changed due to personnel changes in the capital. ”

"But I don't know what is the name of your kinsman?" and the servant was not arrogant.

"First Mrs. Han Shen. Han Zheng sighed when he said this, and a little sadness involuntarily appeared on his face, "I heard that Mrs. said before her death, Lang Jun's aunt was married for the second time, and now she is called Ji Shen, and there is not much information next to it." ”

Han Zheng originally planned to stay in Mingyue Tower and go straight to see Ji Shangshu, but when he found out that they didn't know Ji Shangshu and didn't know when the other party would come, he thought of the information about Ji Shangshu's family that his husband had written down when he left, and decided on a strategy to start with Ji Shen, the second married Shangshu wife, while waiting for the frost to wake up.

The status of women in the Eastern Qin Dynasty is higher, and it is not a problem for women in the family to go out hunting, that is, when ordinary people only have daughters under their knees, daughters can also be changed to female households to inherit half of the original family business, and women who marry second after the death of husband and wife are even more common.

But when it comes to the highest status of the second-married woman today, in addition to Princess Nanping, it is the second-class Ji Shen family.

Ji Shen was originally born in the Shen family, a fur merchant in Jinzhou, she is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, five years older than Shangshu Ji Yan, and her first husband was the eldest son of the Cao Xiahou family of the Jinzhou Racecourse Army, Xiahou Jue, but Xiahou Jue had foot disease when he was young, not good at walking, and older, tyrannical temperament, and like male style, especially the man between the boy and the teenager at the age of twelve or thirteen.

Shen lost his father at a young age, his mother was gentle and skillful, the clansmen were red and the long house was making money, Shen pretended to be Lang Jun to take care of the business while raising his younger brother, he had a strong temperament and extraordinary means, and he did not discriminate against her husband when she first married her, but the older Xiahou Jue was, the more obvious the foot disease became, and later the clan crossed him to pass the patriarchal position to his brother Xiahou Mao, Xiahou Jue became more and more angry, and tortured and killed countless male servants within a few months, and his death was so sad that it was daunting, and then whipped Shen, from the initial drunken hands to the later fists and kicks, Shen couldn't bear to have this husband, and his mother-in-law scolded him for not being pregnant for three years, and Shen reconciled with itBecause the Shen family is a business wizard, the Shen family is the richest man in Jinzhou, and Xiahou Jue wants to borrow the power of his wife but refuses to allow it, and imprisons the Shen family in the Zhuangzi of the Buddha Cave Cliff.

Buddha cave cliff was originally a lonely mountain, the mountain wall is smooth as if being slashed by a sharp sword, there are monks from the west in the last years of Western Chu, spread Buddhism into Chu, and then two hundred years in the time of Emperor Wu of Chu flourished, in the early years of the Eastern Qin, there are monks Vimala who traveled here in the middle of the night to see that there are hundreds of Buddha shadows here, so he lobbied that Emperor Qin Zhao excavated a hundred Buddha statues on the mountain cliff, so this place was renamed Buddha cave cliff.

Ji Yan was good to visit the monuments when he was young, and believed in Buddhism, happened to pass through the Buddha cave cliff, but met the Shen family who desperately escaped, Shen asked him for help, and the blood letter asked Ji Yan to submit it to Liang Hao, the supervisor who had the name of Qingtian at that time, Liang Hao really served justice for the Shen family, sentenced Xiahou Jue to reconcile with him, and because Xiahou Jue tortured and killed the servants who were abducted from outside, Shen found his family to settle with a lot of money, and helped the boy's mother to hand over the paper, the evidence was conclusive, so Liang Hao sentenced Xiahou Jue to be beheaded, and the Shen family and Xiahou family tore their faces so far and did not die.

In the following years, the Shen family went in and out of Jinzhou and Jinzhou, traveling between the Eastern Qin and the Northern Wei Dynasty, Ji Yan was pleased with his temperament, always chasing his side, and only in the first year of Shengping did he hold the beauty, so the Shen family and the Ji family became in-laws, and their business went to the next level, but Xiahou Jue's father was forced to demote when he was forty years old, and the strength of the Xiahou family was reduced, and it had to shrink in the following decades.

It just so happened that the Shen family had a daughter who married into Pingzhou, and the whereabouts of the Pingzhou disaster were unknown, so Pingling Yu instructed Han Zheng to borrow the name of the second lady of the Shen family if he had no choice but to do so.

"Uncle, if we want to stay here and wait for my cousin, what are the conditions?" Frostfall originally stood quietly on the side, and after hearing Han Zheng's explanation according to Mr. that day, and remembering that this did not go against his and Han Zheng's plans that day, he silently wrote it down in his heart, and at this time, seeing that the two of them had finished greeting, he hurriedly bowed his hand to the servant.

"This is my little Langjun. Seeing this, Han Zheng explained to the servant.

"If there are two living conditions in my Mingyue Building, you can choose one. The servant didn't care when he saw the frost falling, and immediately bought a pass.

"Please also ask Uncle to come quickly. Frostfall's eyes widened when he heard this, and he urged.

"One of them is a document to prove your identity by going to the test. The servant saw the frost falling, his eyebrows were clear, and his eyes were like amber and crystal like a milk cat, and he couldn't help but feel narrow, and he wanted to tease this little Langjun more and more.

"Ah Zheng and I are both white, and the first way that Uncle said seems to be impossible. Seeing this, Frost Fall was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "Please also ask Uncle to tell me about this second way." ”

"I saw that my wife once said that if there are people who 'pen falls into storms and rains, and poems become ghosts and gods', they can naturally live in it. "This servant smiled and spoke, but it turned out that when Mingyue Tower was about to be completed, there were many idle people who couldn't help but come to the door one after another when they saw that Mingyue Tower provided free food and lodging, and for a while, the fame of Mingyue Tower was mixed, but it was a bad princess of Chang'an, or Xie Yuma came up with a way, so that he blocked the mouth of everyone and made Mingyue Tower's reputation go to a higher level," If Xiao Langjun really has a poetic talent, if he goes upstairs to the Bingjian Terrace, then the Bingjian Taizhong is not a famous Confucian in the capital, or the top three in the previous imperial examination, or today's famous teacher, if Xiao Langjun has poetry and can get half of the recognition, you can enter my Mingyue Building to stay, and you don't have to worry about Ah Duwu. ”

"That being the case, please ask Uncle to lead the way. Frostfall said, stepping forward and saying loudly.

"That being the case, Xiao Langjun also invites him to come with him. The servant couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw that he was full of confidence, but when he saw the cuteness of the jade snow born from the frost, he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he instructed, "Xiao Langjun is the material of the Zhilan jade tree, but all the Langjun in the hall are all famous people, Xiao Langjun please don't underestimate the politeness of your words." ”

"Thank you Uncle for mentioning it. Hearing this, Frostfall nodded obediently, and after listening to the servant's introduction to the rules of the Ice Table, he took the lead and walked towards the Ice Table.

This ice platform is in the east of the lobby against the wall to build a three-foot high platform, in the past, Xie Ju immediately wrote the word Bingjian, one is corresponding to the name of Mingyue Building, the other is Bingjian and said that the ice mirror, can be made of ice mirror, not a day can be obtained is also to want to exhort students to do learning is not a day of work, and the mirror can reflect the portrait, is a good talent or rotten wood can not be carved, will always have to go through the test to come out, over the years on the Bingjian platform is a lot of people, but really over the ice Jiantai people are very few, ten years down there are four or five, these four or five people have to be champions, some have to be celebrities, with real talent and real learning。

Now I saw that there were people on the Bingjian platform again, and the students present passed on ten or ten hundreds, and after a while, the hall was full of people.

"Are you really going?" Han Zheng pulled Frost Fall, they were usually together, he only knew that Frost Drop learned things quickly, but he lacked patience, plus the two of the Pingling Yu professors were mostly civil in the art of war, and Yu Wendao was only widely involved, just a few people were not restrained from reading.

"That's nature. Frostfall nodded, he was short, and now he was only a head taller than the Bingjian platform, but fortunately, he had learned fist and foot kung fu with Han Zheng for a few months, and immediately put his hands on the platform, his feet touched the ground, and his body shrank up and climbed up, "You wait." ”

"Is it your little baby who came to Bingjiantai to compete?" Mingyue Lou is endlessly literati, but a cup of tea has summoned ten Confucians, the first person to speak is the last Spring Emperor's Bangyan Wang He, this person was born in a family of cultivation and reading, belongs to the late bloomers, began to study hard at the age of twenty, and was on the list at thirty, the best seven words, "Can you know the rules of this Bingjiantai?"

"Yes. Frost nodded obediently, "Mr. will make the question, and the work will be completed within half an hour and handed over to the gentlemen for appreciation, if there are seven gentlemen who approve it, it will be regarded as a pass." ”

"In this case, you will take this Mingyue Tower as the theme. A few great Confucians discussed for a moment, and Wang He smiled.

"Good. Frost nodded, a little thought and put down the pen, but a stick of incense on the pen to complete, their own servants took the submission up, everyone looked at it, couldn't help but applaud, read carefully only feel that the rhetoric is magnificent, magnificent, plus the use of the classics exquisite, read only feel the mouth is fragrant, can't help but pass it on, tsk amazed.
