swayed, but Huan Jie called a magnificent and splendid house in front of him to block the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the green tile and white wall of Wuyi Lane, majestic and strict, vermilion red tile, the tail ridge of the roof has a curvature, the four ends of the corner of the house are flexible and warped, the mullioned window and the hook railing outside are also vermilion, overlapping and reflecting, the version of the door is embedded in the middle, lined with the marble pillar base raspberry high and stable, the lotus petal is narrow and long, the majestic and exquisite, the pedestal has bricks to spread the water and the Sumeru seat, the guests come on foot, such as ascending the platform, the heart is magnificent.

was amazed, Huan Ji hurriedly passed by two scholars, with books under their armpits, walking in a hurry, rushing straight inside. Huan Jie was about to grab a question, but he was not as fast as the two gentlemen, and he jumped into the door, which aroused Huan Jie's curiosity for a while, and he hurriedly followed forward to find out.

As soon as you enter the main gate, the hall is another splendor. The gilded wall ornament is magnificent, straight to the eye, the beams and pillars are covered by vermilion satin, the hall is burned with the moon lin incense and sweet pine incense, the smell is luxurious and heavy, take a closer look, the incense is in front of the gilt wall, the copper incense burner on the wooden case is emanated, and no one sits on the case, just like the lower two rows of horizontal rows of wooden case furnishings are generally empty, and the scholars who have just poured in are only gathered in the middle of the main hall.

For the first time in his life, Huan was afraid of the grand hall and stood at the door for a long time. The candles in the hall are faint and faint, according to the rare light, and the sun outside hangs high, and the blue sky and white sun are reflected from the back of his neck, one bright and one dark, outlining a straight and upright inky black silhouette is standing in the door.

"Childe, what are you still doing? Where's your word?" Huan Ji approached a man who looked like an old servant, with a snarling voice and a soft voice.

Huan was busy asking: "Dare to ask if this Nanling Mansion is also recruiting men?"

The old servant replied slowly: "Even if it is, it is not considered not." The king of Nanling is recruiting people who can write all over the world and contribute ink treasures as a birthday gift for Huang Shangshang. ”

Huan all listened to the "oh" sound, he knew that the emperor was very good at calligraphy, and the situation was divided into two sides, Wang Xie was headed by Wang Xizhi, but none of the princes could compete with it.

The old servant could see that the son cherished the scroll in his hand very much. The old servant said, "If it's a proud work, why not give it a try?"

"That's reasonable!" Huan Jun suddenly cheered up, spread his palms, handed the scroll to the old servant with both hands, and said lightly, "It's hard work." ”

The old servant bowed in return, took a stack of scrolls to the back room, through the tulle on the mullioned window, and seemed to have a few words with the person sitting in the room, and then unloaded the scroll in his arms, bowed out, and said to the scholars waiting in the hall: "The prince is reading your masterpieces, please sit here for a while, come and watch the tea." ”

Huan all turned around, only to see that all the scholars sat down after finding the nearby table, and then sat down together, and when a column in front of the door came in a row of five or six maidservants, each with a good face, Yang Liu's thin waist, holding a tea case in his hand, and serving tea in front of each table with a smile. When the maid approached, Huan Du faintly smelled a refreshing Su Hexiang, which seemed to rise faintly from the servant's clothes, and saw the dignified action of the maid serving tea, and the tea cup also contained the New Year tea, and couldn't help but sigh that this royal garden was really extraordinary.

"I would like to ask the girl, why is the tea in this cup?" Huan Ji called the maid beside him and asked.

"Hui Gongzi, the rock tea that Silla entered the palace. Childe is slow to use. ”

Huan Du smiled and nodded in thanks, Nanling Wangfu actually used such a precious tribute tea to feast on the doorman who came to offer treasures, which provoked a kind of flashy worship in his heart, and secretly drank a few more sips. When waiting for the result, the prince next to him only bowed his head to drink, and did not make a discussion, the atmosphere in the hall was a little inexplicably tense for a while, but it was Huan who opened his mouth first, and asked the son who was sitting in front of the nearby case: "In Xia Liyang Huan Jie, gather here today, it is quite fateful, dare to ask the son's surname?"

The son-in-law who was shocked by his question was already sweating with Jinjin, and hurriedly replied: "In Xiagaoyang, Tongzhou people." ”

This question and answer is neither heavy nor light, not salty or light, but it has attracted everyone's attention, especially the old servant waiting on the side, although the old servant is an old dragon clock, but can serve the king of Nanling closely, Huan all thought that he should have some ability, and at this time the old servant also gathered on him with the eyes of others.

Huan was a little proud in his heart, picked up the teacup and said: "Huan loves to make friends the most in this life, Gao Gongzi, Huan uses tea instead of wine, and toasts Gongzi with a cup." ”

There was no sound in the hall, only Huan Jun spoke loudly, everyone stared straight at him, Gao Yang Gongzi was also extremely embarrassed, picked up the wine glass and whispered: "Okay." He hurriedly drank and turned sideways to avoid it.

Silently, the old servant quietly went to the back room again, and when he came out from a young time, he suddenly heard him still announcing like a gentle drizzle: "Prince Chu Meng stays, please go back." ”

Huan Du listened to the fact that he was not calling himself, but also swept up his body and prepared to go back, thinking about it, it was just a book written by a scholar who met in the countryside, how could he climb the birthday ceremony of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he was thinking about it but suddenly shook his body, this Chu Meng, isn't it his scroll?

was dazed, and when he raised his eyes, the old servant was already standing in front of him, and said with a smile: "Young Master Chu Meng, please......"

Come to the apse, only to see the four walls of the palace exquisite, the furniture furnishings are magnificent, the details of the place are noble, the upper place is paved with soft collapse, the front of a Huanghuali pine wood case, is scattered faintly overflowing fragrance, the four treasures of the study are presented, the extravagance is compelling, the scroll he delivered is unfolding next to the four treasures of the study, the old man at the back of the scroll is wearing a red ochre brocade robe hanging down on the collapse, the old man is sitting in front of the contemplation case, a pair of goshawk pupils are not angry and self-threatening, suddenly raise their eyes, Ling shoots the cold light. Huan all hurriedly bowed: "In Xia Huan Ji, I have seen the prince of Nanling." ”

Sima Xi, the king of Nanling, stared at Huan Jie, who was kneeling in front of the case, and asked, "Are you Chu Meng?"

"It's ...... down The prince is wise!"

"That's interesting. The congratulatory gifts that others brought were either longevity or national peace and security, why did you dedicate a piece of prose alone?"

"Don't hide it from the prince, this word is Huan's most proud work, I heard that the emperor was born on the dragon's birthday, and he offered the most precious treasures. Huan Ji looked at Sima Xi's expression as he spoke, and the latter turned his eyes to stare at the words, and said: "Huan Mou is brave, there is another intention to dedicate this ink treasure." Seeing that Sima Xi did not react, Huan all said in a loud voice: "In the world, even Huangkou Xiaoer knows that it is divided into two factions, the calligraphy of the family that respects Wang Xi is the most prosperous, and the words that Huan Du presented this time are comparable to Wang Xi's greatness, and let the people of the world know that calligraphy is not one of the non-respecting Wang Xi's family, he Wang Xie's family is good, the prince's family is also good, and the prince is also a great talent here!"

"What a great talent!" Sima Xi said with a smile, "Cheng Ji, watch tea with Gongzi Huan." ”

The old servant named Chengji just served a cup of tea, served by a glass cup, and faintly saw the Dongting tea curled up in it, exuding the fragrance of high-quality tea, Huan Ji hurriedly took it with both hands, but accidentally exposed the patches on the inside of the cuffs, Cheng Ji took a look, and saw that Huan was embarrassed, smiled faintly, and whispered while placing the tea: "My prince is a hundred people, and he is as talented as a glutton, regardless of his background, the son is only a talented person, and he will be reused by the prince in the future." ”

Huan all smiled, his heart was encouraged, he thanked him again and again, took the tea, and saluted the prince.

"Master Huan. Sima Xi also took a sip of tea and asked, "Since this prince has chosen your words, he is not empty-handed, what do you want?"

Huan Ji hugged his fists and said: "It is an honor for Huan to share the worries of the prince, and he is already satisfied, and he does not dare to ask for rewards." ”

"Since I have accepted your work, are you willing to worship my Nanling Prince's Mansion?"

"Of course!" Huan got up suddenly, "Huan has always looked up to the prestige of the prince, and his merits are great, Huan is duty-bound to serve the prince and serve the dogs and horses!"

"Okay, Chengji, take Gongzi Huan down and treat him with courtesy. ”

Huan all bowed and thanked him again and again, and retreated contentedly, when Cheng Ji came back to come, Sima Xi finished a cup of tea, and was closing his eyes, and when he heard Cheng Ji coming, he asked: "What is Huan Ji's attitude towards this?"

"When I returned to the prince, I was very pleased, and praised the prince again and again for being a sage in the world. But the old servant didn't know why he didn't want it in this Wuyi Alley, but the prince accepted it, which is not like the prince's consistent behavior. ”

Sima Xi slowly opened his eyes, gently touched the words on the case, and said, "For extraordinary people, extraordinary means are needed." Although this Huan is arrogant, it can be seen that he is also an ambitious person, and maybe in the future, his grudge against Wang Xie's family can be used by us. ”
