The prince's master, Li Yuanyi, asked him to go to Chen Wenduan's mansion to invite Xin, and then, he didn't dare to slack off, this morning happened to be no morning, Li Yuanyi took the invitation card handed over to him by the prince himself, and brought a few gifts, and came to Chen Wenduan's mansion in a sedan chair. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The people in the house saw that the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty was visiting, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly went inside to report to Chen Wenduan, Chen Wenduan was reading a book in the house, and heard that his boss was visiting, and he didn't know what it was, but after all, Li Yuanyi was the chief official of the Ministry of Rites, and he was also his subordinate, so he hurriedly sorted out his clothes and went out to welcome Li Yuanyi into the living room of the house.

The two sat down separately, and then the servants served tea, and they were polite to each other, and Chen Wenduan asked: "Lord Li is here in the lowly mansion today, I don't know what you are doing?"

"I can't hide it, the old man came this time on the orders of the prince to invite Xin Ran Xingongzi, who lives in your mansion, to sit in the East Palace, I don't know if Xin Gongzi is still in the mansion?" Li Yuanyi did not beat around the bush and said directly to Chen Wenduan.

Chen Wenduan heard that Li Yuanyi came to invite Xin Ran on the order of the prince, and thought: "This Li Yuanyi is the prince's master, since he is on the prince's side, it is estimated that on the prince's birthday, he saw that the emperor attached great importance to Xin Ran, and wanted to take the opportunity to envelop Xin Ran, now this Xin Ran is in my house, I'm afraid it's not a secret, if I say it's not there, I'm afraid that this Li Yuanyi will not only not believe it, but will also hold a grudge against me because of this, it is better to call Xin Ran directly, and it is up to him to decide." ”

Thinking of this, Chen Wenduan said to Li Yuanyi: "I don't dare to hide it from my lord, this Xin Ran is indeed in my mansion, I think so, I asked the people in the mansion to invite him over, my lord, you tell him in person, do you think it's okay?"

Li Yuanyi said: "This is the best, I just want to hand over the invitation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Gongzi Xin in person." ”

Chen Wenduan saw that Li Yuanyi said this, so he asked the people in the house to invite Xin Ran, and after a while, Xin Ran came to the living room, Chen Wenduan saw Xin Ran come in, so he said to him: "Brother Xin, today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially asked his master Master Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to come and invite you to the East Palace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with an invitation card from the Prince. ”

Xin Ran listened to Chen Wenduan's words, hurriedly gave a deep salute, and then said: "Boss Li has outstanding humanities, and the grass people are very admired, but they are afraid of disturbing the boss, so they have not gone to Boss Li's house to visit. “

Li Yuan saw Xin Ran so polite, and also got up and saluted Xin Ran: "Li Gongzi is polite, your talent is even very appreciated by today's saints, not to mention that in the future, that day Gongzi and Lord Chen went to celebrate the birthday of His Royal Highness the Prince, because there were too many people who came to pay homage to the birthday, and His Majesty the Emperor was there that day, and the prince was busy taking care of him, so he was a little neglectful of Xin Gongzi, and later after this birthday banquet, the prince was very uneasy, and said to the lower officials that he must personally invite Xin Gongzi to sit in the East Palace, and carefully ask you how to govern the country." ”

After finishing speaking, he handed over the prince's invitation card with both hands.

Xin Ran knew that this Li Yuanyi was inviting himself to the Prince's East Palace, and he didn't know how to reply to this Li Yuanyi for a while, but when he saw Li Yuanyi handing over the prince's invitation with both hands, he couldn't say anything, so he had to take the invitation first.

Li Yuanyi saw that Xin Ran was a little reluctant, but after all, he was still very happy when he took the invitation he brought, so he said to Xin Ran: "Xin Gongzi, I don't know if Ling Zun told you before his death, the old man and Ling Zun also met before his death, and the conversation was very speculative. ”

Xin Ran really hadn't heard his father say anything about what he and his father knew about Li Yuanyi, but out of politeness, he also replied: "It turns out that the eldest and the late father also knew each other, so in this way, the old gentleman and I and my Xin family are also world friends, and if the younger generation is rude, please forgive the eldest more." ”

As soon as Li Yuan saw that he had told him about his acquaintance with Xin Qiji in the past, Xin Ran was more respectful to himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, so he casually chanted out Xin Qiji's familiar "Qinyuan Spring, Lingshan Qi'an Fu Shi Zhu Yanhu was not completed":

Stacked mountains gallop westward, thousands of horses whirl, and the mountains want to the east.

is frightened down, jumping beads splashing;

The small bridge is cross-cut, and the bow of the moon is missing.

The old man is idle, the heavenly religion is eventful, and the principal is 100,000 pines.

I am small, outside the shadow of the dragon and snake, in the sound of wind and rain.

Compete to meet first, and see the refreshing air coming to the three peaks.

seems to be a child of the Xie family, well-dressed;

Like a court, the car ride is graceful.

I feel that in the meantime, the majestic and elegant are healthy, such as the article is too Shigong.

Xindi Road, ask Yanhu when the smoke and water are cloudy?

Xin Ran saw Li Yuanyi chanting the words made by his father, and he also felt very cordial in his heart, thinking that this person might indeed have a good impression of his father, so he said to Li Yuanyi: "Boss, I am really grateful for my father's poems and poems so much. “

Li Yuanyi said: "Ling Zun not only admired the old man for the official before his death, but also after resigning and retreating, the elegance of the mountains and rivers also made the old man envious, so the old man also knows a lot about the poetry of Lord Ling Zun, the old man is now the prince's master, when teaching the prince's knowledge, he often mentions the poetry of Lord Ling Zun to the prince, and His Royal Highness the prince also appreciates the poetry of Lord Ling Zun very much, so after meeting you on the day of his birthday, he came to ask the old man to ask you to deign to teach. “

Xin Ran saw that after Li Yuanyi praised himself and his father, his purpose was to hope that he would happily accept the prince's invitation, so he said to Li Yuanyi: "The prince's sincerity is already known, please Lord Li to tell His Royal Highness the prince, if you have time, Xin Ran should go to the East Palace to visit His Royal Highness the prince again, do you think it's good?"

When Li Yuan saw that Xin Ran did not promise to go immediately, he did not say that he would not go, so he did not force it, so he said: "Since this is the case, the old man will wait for Xin Gongzi to come to the prince's East Palace at any time." “

After finishing speaking, the three chatted for a while, and Li Yuanyi got up to say goodbye.

Chen Wenduan and Xin Ran sent Li Yuanyi out of the mansion, and after sending him into the car, they immediately returned to the study in the mansion and called Chen Ming to discuss what to do.

Chen Ming came to the study, and after hearing about this matter, he said to Xin Ran: "Big brother, I don't think it's appropriate for you to go to the East Palace, which may cause Zhao Yun, the king of Yi, to have other ideas." “

"I thought the same way, so I didn't agree to go immediately at that time", Xin Ran saw Chen Ming say this, and hurriedly said.

At this time, Chen Wenduan continued: "Brother Xin Shi has attracted the attention of all parties in Lin'an, everyone wants to fight for you, and Brother Xin's original intention is to contribute to the country in secret, in my opinion, Brother Shi can no longer show his face in Lin'an." “

Xin Ran said: "Brother Chen Shi is reasonable, it just so happens that I also have some things that need to leave Lin'an to handle." “
