Shishan, who returned home from the mansion, looked at the few lantern shelves left in the house, picked one up casually, and stroked it gently, he sighed a little, in the future, I am afraid that it will be rare to make lanterns.

Thinking of this, Shi Shan adjusted his mood and prepared to visit his master Zhang Lang, the person who taught him how to make lanterns.

As soon as he was about to walk out of the house, he saw a person rushing in the wind.

"Shi Shan, you're finally back, how are you, how are there many beauties in Beixuan City?"

The person who came was Shi Shan's friend, the king!

This lord and Shi Shan were born in the same year, only three months younger than Shi Shan, and the two studied under Tang Bin's door together, and often corresponded with each other, so they had a good relationship.

"You don't care about my scientific expedition, as soon as you come, ask the beauties of Beixuancheng, our relationship is like this?" Shi Shan said pretending to be dissatisfied.

The king was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, "How about it, did you pass the test?"

"Of course I didn't pass the test. Ishiyama said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, you're still young, you can continue to take the exam, tell me quickly, how many beauties are there in Beixuancheng?" asked the royal lord anxiously.

"You want to know so much, just go to Beixuan City by yourself. ”

The king's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Yes, I used to run to Huangqiu, the capital city, and it seems that when will I have to go to Beixuancheng." No, I almost forgot, I heard that Yao Manman, a famous young girl in Beixuan City, came to Huangqiu City, Shishan, let's go and have a look, anyway, you have finished the scientific examination, just enough to relax. ”

"Come on, I don't have the money to go around with you. ”

"With me here, do you still need to pay for it?" It is rumored that Yao Manman is a beautiful and fragrant country, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so you don't want to go and see it?"

No matter what the royal lord was saying, Shi Shan walked straight out of the door, "Go by yourself." ”

"Eh, where are you going?" Seeing Shi Shan striding away, the king hurriedly followed.

"Go to my master. "Stone Mountain walks along the way.

After buying a catty of peanuts, two catties of beef, and three pots of wine in the town, Shishan and the king came to Zhang Long's residence.

Zhang Lang, who was making lanterns, watched Shi Shan and the king come with wine and meat, and laughed heartily: "I haven't eaten meat and drank wine for a long time, and I'm almost hungry." ”

Taking the beef from Shi Shan's hand, Zhang Long turned around and walked into the kitchen in a few steps, and it didn't take long to cut the beef into slices and serve it out.

After listening to Shishan say that he would go to the prison in three days, Zhang Lang was even more happy, "I didn't expect my apprentice to become a member of the yamen one day, okay, give me a long face." With a yamen apprentice, can I find a daughter-in-law? ”

The happy Zhang Lang began to look forward to the future, this Zhang Lang is thirty-six years old, with a strong face and a big round belly, but he has not found a daughter-in-law yet.

"Shi Shan, have you become a jailer?" the royal lord asked in surprise.

Ishiyama nodded, and at the same time a piece of beef was swallowed in his mouth.

Hearing this, the royal lord slapped Shi Shan's shoulder dissatisfiedly, "Good boy, you didn't tell me at the first time." ”

Zhang Lang was happy, and Shi Shan couldn't help but drink a few more glasses with him, but he was also drunk unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took, Shi Shan came to his senses, looked at the royal lord looking at him with a playful face, and then found himself in the carriage.

When the curtain was lifted, it was almost evening.

"Where are you pulling me to?" Ishiyama asked dissatisfied.

"Hey, hey. The king laughed twice, "I'm not afraid that you won't accompany me to Huangqiu City, so I took advantage of your drunkenness and got you into the carriage, or it won't be long before we go to Qinghua County, spend the night in Qinghua County, and go to Huangqiu City early tomorrow morning." ”

Shi Shan looked at the king quietly, without saying a word, and saw that the king's scalp was numb, and he kept swallowing saliva.

The matter has come to this, Shi Shan is not good to say anything more, after arriving in Qinghua County, he was silent all night, and early the next morning, the king rushed to Huangqiu City with Shi Shan excitedly.

There is a very famous ten-mile gallery in Huangqiu City, and there are community buildings on both sides of the gallery. This time it was a community building called Yanzhao Society, and Yao Manman was invited from Beixuancheng for a lot of money.

The king took Shishan straight to Yanzhao Society, although Yao Manman didn't start to hold activities in the community building until seven o'clock in the evening, but the king still couldn't wait to come to the community building to occupy a place, but he heard that since Yao Manman came to Yanzhao Society, during the activity time, the community building was overcrowded, and it was difficult to find a location.

When they came to the community building, they didn't want to have a lot of guests, and the position had been occupied by more than half, so the two finally found a relatively remote wine table and sat down, ordered a few dishes, and waited for Yao Manman's appearance.

The sun is setting, only a trace of the residual sun hangs in the sky, the time finally came to seven o'clock in the evening, with the appearance of a group of dancing girls, the king's eyes were shining, Shishan was also looking forward to it, Yao Manman was finally going to appear.

As the dancers finished their dance, Yao Manman, accompanied by two maids, slowly walked to the center of the stage. I saw Yao Manman wearing a white single dress, with a white silk scarf covering his face, revealing a pair of shallow eyes, like a butterfly flying among the flowers.

At this time, the crowd was also boiling, all kinds of whistles were constantly blowing, and some even shouted Yao Manman's name loudly.

At this time, in the center of the stage, a lyre had been arranged, Yao Manman plucked the strings, and then sat down, regardless of the noisy crowd, raised his hand lightly, and began to play.

At first, the crowd was still boiling, but as the sound of the piano deepened, the sound of the crowd became quieter and quieter.

The sound of the piano is melodious, as if it rings in the ears, and it seems to sound in the distance. Sometimes it is like a sword out of its sheath, straight into the sky, shocking the soul. Sometimes like a nightingale, gentle and gentle, soothing the body and mind.

I don't know when, the sound of the piano stopped, Yao Manman looked at the fascinated crowd, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and then he played a few times, which made people sober up.

"Good!"

I don't know who was the first to shout hello, followed by countless people chanting, and the applause also rang out, and it lasted for a long time.

"Shishan, this Yao Manman deserves to be a famous young girl in the capital, this piano is really good. The king stared at Yao Manman on the stage and said excitedly.

Just as the crowd was cheering, a yellow-clothed maid in front of Yao Manman took a step forward, "According to the usual practice, today's Miss of my family has the title of "Wind and Snow", please compose a poem with the title of Wind and Snow, which poem does my Miss fancie, and the owner of the poem is the guest of today's scene. ”

As soon as the maid's voice fell, the crowd became more and more boiling, some were annoyed, some were excited, the annoyed ones were the ones who guessed Yao Manman's questions, and the excited ones were those who had written poems related to the wind and snow before.

"Shi Shan, you hurry up and write a poem and try your luck, in case you are taken a fancy to it. Listening to the maid's words, the king was also very excited, and encouraged Shishan to compose poems.

Shi Shan didn't want to get involved, but he couldn't stand the king's encouragement on the side, and he didn't want to spoil the king's mood, so he should laugh at it.

Seeing that Shi Shan agreed, the king excitedly went to get the paper and pen, laid out the paper, sharpened the inkstone, and handed the brush to Shi Shan with an expectant face.

Shi Shan took the brush, closed his lips slightly and thought for a moment, then lifted the pen, and a few lines of poetry jumped on the paper.

Seeing Shishan's poems, the king's eyes also lit up, "Quick, inscribe your name." ”

After Shi Shan finished inscribed his name, the king excitedly dried the handwriting, and then carefully held the paper and went to hand it to Yao Manman's maid.
