The sun is gradually showing, and the smoke cage is crisp in the morning, and the houses are gradually gilded with color. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chu Meng and Huan both walked side by side, and the noisy morning market at that time was about to be withdrawn, and finally some vendors happily packed up their burdens and prepared to go home.

"Young Master Chu is not from Dayin Town, right?" said Huan Jie.

"Passing through here, Childe?"

"Here's how it goes. Huan said again, "Huan is a person from Liyang, dare to ask where Gongzi's hometown is?"

Before the first dream, I chatted with the old woman in the ferry, and I probably knew the clues of this Jin land, and knew that Liyang was a notoriously poor place in the west of the Jin Dynasty, so he said: "Chu's family is in the north, and it has been tired by the war, so it is not worth mentioning, but the people of Liyang are simple, and now such a fantasy world is rare." ”

Huan was stunned for a moment, laughed again, and sighed in his heart that the hinterland of the capital is really full of talents, and such a little-known Dayin Town can also know such a son, not to mention the sassy appearance, but also to say so comprehensively, and the style and charm do not let everyone.

"Young Master Chu has an overreputation. I wonder what Childe's plans will be in the future?"

"I didn't plan to, but I wanted to hear Childe's opinion. ”

"Me?" Huan said with a smile, "Huan took this place and then went to Jianye, at the foot of Jianye Tianzi, there are many capable people, and he does not hide from Chu Gongzi, Huan thinks that he is not a thing in the pool, only the capital can accommodate me to show my ambitions!"

Chu Meng smiled, thinking that this Huan Jie Gongzi is really a straightforward person, according to the etiquette of the Jin people, talented people also need to be humble and unified, but this Huan Jie is very talented, if such a temperament goes to the capital, I am afraid that it is incompatible with other officials, so I also want to persuade some of them: "The son is so ambitious, he really admires it, but this is the way of the official, the water is as deep as the sea, and the sharp edge is not as good as prudence since ancient times." ”

Huan Jun heard where he realized the truth of Chu Meng's loyalty, and thought that he was secretly mocking his own talents, so he said, "Childe talks like this, he seems to know a lot about this officialdom?"

"It's just a matter of learning from the past. ”

Huan said: "That's it, the ancient books are just outdated and reasonable, and the so-called achievements in the past have not all risen and fallen to dust, so don't mention it." ”

Seeing this, the first dream no longer spoke, only echoed in a low voice and led the topic elsewhere, Huan Ji also took a few words, when he was young, the first dream realized that Huan Ji's previous displeasure had disappeared, and his heart was also a little calmer, so he said: "Childe save me with kindness, there is nothing to repay in the next, today the son must not shirk, and it is good to have a good meal in the next!"

Childe said so, but Huan was disrespectful. I don't know where the son is staying, just eat some nearby. ”

"Chu arrived in the morning, and he met a thief before he could find a hotel. ”

Huan said heartily: "That's right, if Gongzi Chu doesn't dislike it, he can live in the Baihua Inn where Huan lives, although it is not as magnificent as the Dayin Inn on Chengzhong Street, but it is more than enough to settle down." There is also food and wine in the inn, so you just need to eat there. ”

Chu Meng thought that this Huan Jie Gongzi was from a poor family, and probably would not choose some rich inns to live in, so he said that this Baihua Inn was not as good as the one night where he had always found money before, although he was shy in his pocket, but he could afford it, so he went with Huan Jie.

When he was young, Chu Meng and Huan both stopped at the door of the courtyard that looked like an ordinary house, if it weren't for the signboard style of the "Hundred Flowers Inn" placed in the middle of the door, it was really inconspicuous.

Huan was very pleased, and after a gesture of "please", he entered first. Chu Meng followed her into the atrium, the atrium pattern is not large but very stagnant, some abandoned inn furnishings are randomly stacked with the four corners of the atrium, and no one cleans the place.

"Restaurant, I brought a little brother to stay. But there are no vacancies—" Huan called out as he entered the house.

The person who was called the shopkeeper came out of the curtain in the back room behind the counter, and it was a middle-aged man with a big belly, who was nodding to Chu Meng with an earnest face at the moment.

"Little boy, look at this all-round style, it must be the best room!" the shopkeeper praised, and without waiting for the first dream, he called out again, "Open the best room for this son-" The guy had to order him to come out of the back room, and was about to do it, but he was stopped by the first dream and said: "I can't hide it, I was robbed below, and most of the money on my body was stolen, so I bothered the store to help me open a lower room." ”

The shopkeeper said: "The next room is a big shop, a group of rough men are snoreing on a bed, I look at the son's thin skin and tender meat, I'm afraid I don't want to?"

Huan Ji took over and said: "How about Gongzi Chu live in a medium room like Zai Huan? ”

Chu Meng asked, "How much is this medium room for a night?"

"Three hundred texts. ”

"Then let's have a medium room. There is a labor shop. Chu Meng said, "If you bother the store to help me set up a sumptuous banquet at noon, this Huan Gongzi saved Chu today, and Chu wants to thank him, don't be rude." ”

"That's not a coincidence!" said the shopkeeper, "the cook has gone back to his hometown this morning to take care of his mother, and he will not be able to return until the evening." Childe, rest assured, I will send someone to procure the freshest ingredients in the town in the afternoon, and keep the two sons from getting drunk tonight. ”

"It's just that the shopkeeper is not good at drinking, don't say it's not good, drinking will cause a rash, and the whole body will be uncomfortable, please ask the store to help Huan Gongzi prepare thick wine. ”

"Is there a reason not to drink at this feast?" Huan was not happy, "If Gongzi Chu doesn't drink, he looks down on Huan from a poor background, and he doesn't want to drink with me and other poor scholars!"

"Childe's words are serious! Xia Zaiwan never had such an idea, so Chu accompanied Childe to have a drink, as a thanks, and asked Childe not to persuade him, it may be a life-threatening thing at that time. ”

Huan was unconvinced, thinking that it was a pleasure to come to drink, drinking rashes has never been heard of, isn't this Chu Xiaogongzi reluctant to pay for this wine?

When he was young, the guy came to report that the middle room had been cleaned up, and he was next door to the room of Master Huan, and the two moved to the back room with the guy. Chu Meng's eyes moved left and right with his steps, and the style of this house was different from the farmhouse thatched hut in the past, a blue brick house, with a room in front of the atrium and a room behind it, and a corridor running through the house to string together a series of small rooms.

The man diligently pushed open the door of one of the rooms, the wooden door "creaked" as if in response, the group stepped in, a stale and mildew smell came to the face, the smell was so heavy, the three of them smelled it, but no one said anything, the guy saw that the guests had no opinion, and he didn't wait to leave, Huan saw that this room was more old than his own, after all, it was the inn he recommended, and he couldn't hang it on his face, so he used the excuse to tidy up his clothes and go back to the room. For a while, there was only the first dream left in the house, facing the absurdity of the room.

Chu Meng can also tolerate this musty smell, after all, the house is cheap and it is not good to complain about anything, thinking about it, he opened the window, a fresh wind swept outside the house, looking out, outside the melon vine coiled is the scenery of a small backyard, there is a stone table in the courtyard, next to two pillars of stone benches, although the courtyard is also piled up with some sundries, but there is this melon vine and this vegetable and fruit embellishment is not vulgar.

I don't know how long I was out of my mind for the first dream, and I suddenly heard the call of Huan Jie Gongzi in the distance behind me.

"Young Master Chu, it's almost noon, I don't know where Young Master Chu plans to eat?"

Chu Meng looked back from the window and saw Huan Jun standing at the door, so he replied: "I didn't go anywhere else to eat, I bought a few buns earlier, and I was just hungry." ”

"But I bought it at the morning market? The craftsmanship of that steamed bun stall is excellent! It's a pity that Huan went late and sold out. ”

"If that's the case, there's still something here, would it be good to share some with Gongzi?" Chu Meng lowered his head and rummaged through his baggage, revealing a bunch of white and tender buns, and asked, "How many can Gongzi Huan eat?"

Huan looked around and said, "Five." Childe is good, Huan is better than being respectful. ”

Chu Meng handed the bun to Huan Jie, Huan all said thank you and left with something to do, Chu Meng also accompanied him to the front hall of the inn, and explained that the store would set up tonight's small banquet in the backyard.

Chu Meng went back to the room and ate cold buns, turned around a little in the inn, slept again, woke up and saw the sky outside the window to dusk, so he got up and went to the front hall to ask how the banquet was going, and happened to meet the cook with the dishes to the backyard, and looked at the things in this plate like a few fresh fried together, the aroma went straight to the nose, and the first dream went straight to the backyard with him.

was arranging the dishes, Huan Jie also came to see, Chu Meng thought that he should invite him in person, but at this moment he came by himself and didn't know if he would think about anything and be displeased, but after saying a few words, he saw that Huan Jie was very happy on his face, and he didn't see a little gloomy.

The cook put two jars of wine on the table, and added these three vegetables and three meats, and announced that the dishes were ready. The first dream invited Huan to sit together. The sky is dark, the stars are changing, the moon is on the branches, the breeze is calm, with this scenery, the first dream is full of wine, and it is poured for himself.

"If it weren't for Gongzi Huan sacrificing his life to save him, Chu would have been poisoned by thieves, Chu, I would like to pay tribute to Gongzi. First Dream said solemnly.

"Chu Gongzi's words are serious, and the road is uneven. Dry!" Huan was very happy, Chengli drank it all, and praised, "It is indeed a good wine!"

"It's good if Gongzi Huan likes it. He added, "This fish is really very fresh, and in the afternoon I saw the fishmonger carrying the whole basket to the backyard to unload the goods, so please try it as well." ”

"If you want to talk about this fish, a few years ago, Huan had a banquet in Jianye Wuyi Lane, this fish was really delicious. ”

Chu Mengfu asked: "What kind of treasure is Wuyi Lane?"

"Wuyi Lane is the mansion of the most powerful and noble family in Jianye City, Chen Jun Xie and Langya Wang, life in the alley is almost flashy, even this cooking fish has to cook flowers, repeating forty-nine processes, eating is not a taste, it is a taste. "Huan is all aftertaste," Huan heard that Wang Suzhibei, the eldest son of the Wang family, sent Hu to the north, and the house was in short supply at this time, so he didn't hide it, Huan was about to visit Wang Xie's two families. ”

"Such a noble family will have the opportunity for the son to show his strength. Chu said hello to his son first. Hearing about Fa Hu, Chu Meng silently wrote down the name Wang Suzhi in his heart.

Huan was praised very much, and drank three cups, from time to time a jar of wine was empty, the first dream of Huan Gongzi had such interest, guess it was also suppressed for a long time, so he called a few more jars to let him take advantage of the excitement not to get drunk and not return. Huan Ji drank a few glasses of wine, and his words became more and more bold, and he carefully said some wild history anecdotes among the princes and princes of the family, and scolded the current emperor for being idle and leisurely, lamenting that he had no talent, but the first dream was only a drink, and he was very sober, taking care of him to play crazy, but fortunately, those rebellious words were not heard by anyone else.

After the dishes were eaten, the moon went to the atrium, and there was a piece of silver light, Huan was drunk, but he was still unsatisfied, shouting that the man took the plate and took the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and he wanted to splash ink in the courtyard.

Chu Meng was silently guarding on the side, and he didn't speak, just following his temperament.

"I'm all the words, even if I go to Jianye...... If you don't say first, no, if you say second, no one dares to call it first. Even the emperor's old son Sima ...... Sima Yi also had to concede three points when he saw it!" Huan Jie's body swayed from side to side, and even stood flutteringly, and he even held the wine jug and didn't let it go.

Chu Meng hurriedly helped her and said, "Childe is drunk! Chu helped Childe to rest." ”

Huan Jie pushed it away, pulled his throat and said, "Quick, man, pen and ink are waiting!"

The guy rushed to come, seeing that Huan was drunk, and the momentum was violent, and he didn't dare to provoke, so he had to take the objects in the study room and put them on the stone table according to the instructions, Huan all shouted, grabbed the pen, dipped in the thick ink, and swayed freely on the paper like a dragon and phoenix.

Huan got the words, threw the pen, and raised his head. Chu Mengqian said: "Gongzi Huan is really a magic pen into the wood, this word is strong pine and Huamao, it is really a good word!"

"So...... Moonlight, Chu Gongzi doesn't show his hand?"

"Chu is not as good as his son, so there is no need to be ugly. Hatsumeme apologized.

"The right to ...... Give me a picture to make a ...... Stay...... Remember, you and me...... It's also fate to get acquainted, Prince Chu...... Don't shirk again!" Huan Jie didn't really want the Mobao of the first dream, he just wanted to find a foil to show his superb calligraphy skills in this situation, and people who were good at calligraphy must be a prodigal person according to common sense, such as Wang Xizhi, who was the concubine of the dynasty, such a weak and petite Chu Gongzi, how do you really look at it, how can he not afford everyone's talents.

Huan invited the book as a gift, and the first dream knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he should go down to write.

"That Chu is ugly. ”
