The dragon boat rushed away, and the beginning was quieter, of course, this was only compared with the dragon boat passing by, in fact, the hustle and bustle was still there. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The prefect and others stood on the high platform and watched, pointing and laughing with the people around them.

“… The Zhu family's dragon boat is the first..."

“… Wangjiangshun's dragon boat is also good this time, I think it is promising..."

While laughing, the prefect suddenly said sorry to go for convenience, but everyone didn't care, and someone offered to accompany him, so he went with him.

People have three urgency here naturally placed a clean room, even if the temporary arrangement is very complete and clean, not everyone is crowded on the shore to watch the dragon boat, many people are here to join in the fun, so many people in the open space by the river are standing or sitting and laughing, seeing the prefect coming, these people are busy all saluting and greeting.

The people who can come here are all famous squires and wealthy families in Chang'an City, these people are officials who must be familiar with each other, and the prefect greeted them one by one with a smile.

“… The rich third master can bet this time..."

“… Zhang Qiye, the mansion saw that Mrs. Zhang was also here?... I'm in good shape. ”

“… Guang Yangong, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have to talk about a game..."

“… Ah, this is... General Guo..."

Guo Huaichun, who was standing in the middle of the people, hurriedly saluted and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, just take off your armor and return to Tianyi." ”

Li Zhifu said with a smile: "Even if you have unloaded your armor, you have fought for the country, where can you unload it with glory, General Guo is too humble." ”

Guo Huaichun is a military general returning home, Li Zhifu is a Wenchen parent official, there are not many contacts in the past, not much familiarity, nodded and said kind words Li Zhifu left.

Guo Huaichun breathed a sigh of relief, and someone next to him smiled.

"Why do you look so scared?" he said.

Guo Huaichun smiled bitterly: "We are rough people, we are really afraid to talk to these literati." ”

Although it is said to the outside world that Guo Huaichun is injured and sick and resigns, in fact, everyone also privately inquired that Guo Huaichun was in conflict with his boss and offended the local economic strategy to appease Li Mao, who is a civilian official in charge of the military and politics all the way, and has the power of life and death to military generals, and Li Mao himself has a precedent of killing military generals, and after killing, he was found to be wrong, but he was only two levels of official generals..... his mentor is the current prime minister Wang Lieyang, and the military general Qin Tangong also has to look at some face.

Because he offended Li Mao, there is no war now, he can't be overcome, he is not young, and the children are still in the army, so it is better to simply resign and leave, so as not to cause trouble and affect the family.

"Master Guo, don't be afraid... The family is about to have a champion, and he will be a civil official in the future, and he has changed his court. One of them laughed.

These words made several people laugh, and Guo Huaichun's face became even more ugly.

"Don't laugh. He coughed lightly, "the child just said wildly." ”

"Crazy? Don't you dare say that. Zhang Qiye said with a smile, his friendship with Guo Huaichun is not bad, "The prefect said it himself, it is called young blood, and it should be praised." ”

Guo Huaichun was stunned, looking surprised: "Lord Prefect? Praise him?"

The others babbled and spoke.

"Old Guo, you still don't know?"

"Your son-in-law is in the limelight. ”

"I don't know if the champion can be admitted... Keju might be able to be a champion. ”

Guo Huaichun was confused, "I just came back just in time to watch the dragon boat race... I haven't told me this yet. He looked a little annoyed, and he probably knew why no one told him this....Xue Qing was in the limelight, which was not something to be happy about for Mrs. Guo.

"Kemari?.. Just having fun... What's the use. He laughed dryly a few times, and hurriedly excused himself to leave in a hurry.

Zhang Qiye didn't shout, shook his head and said, "... I still have to tell him, with the prefect's praise for the fact that the champion is bloody, you can go and talk to Mr. Qingxia again, let Xue Qing enter social studies, why don't you leave. ”

A few people next to them were a little curious, they heard about Xue Qing's claim that he was going to take the top prize, but they didn't pay attention to it anymore, it was nothing more than reading....When they couldn't pass the exam, it was time to watch jokes.

"I want to study with Mr. Qingxia. ”

"If you want to take the top prize, you must worship Mr. Qingxia's disciples. ”

Everyone said.

It's goodbye, Mr. Qingxia doesn't accept it, Zhang Qiye said in his heart, he didn't know what happened in the social studies that day, who was idle and had nothing to pay attention to this, or Zhang Liantang said it casually yesterday.

But there is no need to talk about this kind of thing, Zhang Qiye also said with a haha: "Master Guo must have his own ideas, so we don't have to worry about it." ”

Just talking and laughing, there were cheers in front of him, and the results of the dragon boat race in the first game were out.

"Let's go, let's see. ”

“… It must be the first in Wangjiang Shun. ”

Everyone greeted and laughed and walked towards the crowd on the shore, and many people ran around holding a few tickets.

"....Young Master Wang Ningchun wrote a poem..."

"....Young Master Su Yong wrote a poem..."

The literati and writers who watched the dragon boat race also began to write poems and lyrics, and these new works would be transmitted to the places where the crowd gathered at the first time, and countless people flocked to gather around to appreciate them, during which many people read aloud, setting off another kind of excitement.

The third floor of Liuyuntai was much quieter than the outer room, and there were a few people in the hall who were either gazing at the river or thinking about the wine and food on the table, while others were looking with some expectation, and suddenly a man turned around from the railing.

"There you go. He said.

The hall suddenly became lively, and Yang Jingchang, who was whispering and talking with Xue Qing back to his seat, raised his head, looked over with some interest, and listened to the man pacing while reading a few lines of poetry, applause and cheers sounded in the hall, and someone on the side had already quickly copied it down and ran out, and the sound of footsteps ran up and down several floors.

“… Young Master Xi's new work..."

There was a shout, and then there was a commotion, and it was the people in the halls who were talking about the new poems.

“… Who said to himself during the Dragon Boat Festival..."Yang Jingchang silently thought to the side and looked at Xue Qing, "What do you think?"

Xue Qing shook his head and said, "I don't understand." ”

Well, it's okay to read a lot of books at his age, but poetry is more difficult than reading, Yang Jingchang said with a smile: "I don't know much either, in short, it's singing and dancing." ”

"Who is disappointed at this time. Xue Qing said with a smile, "It's good to be lively and happy." ”

As the words fell, someone next to him coughed.

"If you don't understand, don't say it lightly, everyone feels it, and it's not a literati who whitewashed the peace with the queen, so it's all right. ”

In the end, it was the wrong thing to make people unhappy, Xue Qing turned his head to look behind him, and a man in a green shirt about forty years old was standing in the corner...... Writing poetry is such a distracting task, and everyone likes to find a quiet place.

"Yes, the kid was wrong. She said, with a sincere expression.

Yang Jingchang arched his hand with a smile and said, "Nephew Lin Xian, I haven't heard the masterpiece yet, so I said it lightly." On the one hand, he introduced to Xue Qing, "This is Lin Xian Lin Xiucai." ”

Flattering or sarcastic, Lin Xiucai hummed, with a little arrogance, he had confidence in his literary talent, and said: "There are two sentences I read..." This junior is only afraid that he will not understand. ”

Xue Qing smiled bitterly, be careful.

Yang Jingchang laughed and made a round, but Lin Xiucai just refused to leave, so he simply sat down on Yang Jingchang's side, and wanted to read out the two poems he made to appreciate Yang Jingchang, and by the way, ignore the ignorant juniors here.

The quiet and peaceful conversation between the two was interrupted, Xue Qing looked calm, and with a light smile, Yang Jingchang was a little helpless, but Lin Xiucai's father had a good relationship with him, and it was not easy to pull down his face, and he was thinking about simply getting up and saying goodbye, and someone stood outside the hall door.

"Xue Qing. The boy's voice shouted.

Xue Qing and Yang Jingchang looked at it when they heard the sound, and saw Liu Chunyang, who was in a jade robe with apricot eyes and phoenix eyebrows, standing there.

Seeing them, Liu Chunyang beckoned, "Xue Qing, come here." ”

Xue Qing sat still and didn't move.

Yang Jingchang recognized the young master of the Liu family, and was thinking that Lin Xiucai was annoying, and the young man was still interesting to play with the young man, so he said, "You go and take a look." ”

Lin Xiucai also glanced at him and said, "The child went downstairs to watch the dragon boat race....This is a place to compose poems, and you don't understand it." ”

Yang Jingchang smiled apologetically at Xue Qing helplessly, and Xue Qing also smiled and said yes, getting up and leaving.

He walked up to Liu Chunyang and said, "What's the matter?"

Liu Chunyang approached almost to her face, and the bridge of his tall nose hit Xue Qing's nose... Well, this rich young man is really well raised, just like Jia Baoyu, Xue Qing avoided it slightly.

“.. If you dare to claim that I am my brother-in-law, I will break your third leg. Liu Chunyang said in a low voice.

Xue Qing sneered: "... I didn't. ”
