Li Chen and Taiping took a few noble girls to swim in the lake together in the Buxian Garden, Pei Xiaoyun was as expected by Taiping, and his attitude towards Li Yanxi was very friendly. Now that summer has passed, the lotus flowers on the lake have long been gone, but there are still some lotus pods.

Li Chen likes all kinds of tosses as soon as he arrives in the garden, but these noble ladies are not, when they heard that they could go boating to pick lotus seeds, their eyes lit up. Li Chen didn't have much energy for this, because she didn't know how many lotus seeds she picked every year, and now these lotus seeds are probably too old to chew, what is there to pick? But she didn't spoil everyone's interest, and ordered someone to set up a good boat, and each boat was accompanied by someone who was familiar with water, and let a few noble girls go to pick lotus seeds.

Taiping originally liked lotus seed picking once or twice at first, but then he was not interested. And she had already seen that Li Dan and the others were muttering when they got up early this morning, and they didn't know what they were discussing, so naturally they didn't go to pick lotus seeds with the nobles.

A few thirteen- and fourteen-year-old boys gathered together and muttered, "It's past summer, but it's still hot." I heard that there is a river in Meizhuang next to Buxian Garden, the water of the river is clear, and there are small silver fish swimming around in it, which is wider than the small stream in the mountain behind Buxian Garden, and it will be more fun to play. ”

Li Dan's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak.

Li Xiudao said: "I heard that the little master of the plum village is still a learned person, and he can beat the drum well. The farmer in the plum village will dance to the sound of his drum in his spare time! ”

Li Dan listened to the pounding, since he left the palace, he is like a kite off the string, and he feels fresh about all kinds of things, and now he hears that the owner of this Meizhuang is so graceful, not only wants to go to the river of Meizhuang to swim, but also wants to go to Meizhuang to meet the little master.

In the eyes of the Tang people, the drum is the first of the eight sounds, and Li Dan is not good at the drum, but he likes it very much. There are a bunch of musicians in King Yin's mansion, although there are also those who are good at drumming, but they always sound like they lack a little feeling. As soon as I heard Li Xiudao say that Song Jing beat the drum with one hand, he couldn't hold back his heart that was already about to move.

When Li Xiu heard this, he grinned, "Then we will have someone send a post over and go to visit, how about it?" ”

And Zhou Jitong looked at Li Dan, he has always been relatively quiet and easy to read, if Li Dan hadn't invited him to come to Buxian Garden, maybe he would still stay at home and not go anywhere. But now that he listened to the words of these people, he was also moved, not to mention Li Dan.

So Li Dan made a decision, "Then it's decided." ”

Originally, this group of teenagers came to play in Buxian Garden, but now they want to develop horizontally and go to Meizhuang, which scared Lu Guan a lot. Lu Guan secretly complained in his heart, which of these princes and princes was so excited that they couldn't stop it, so they had to tell them about Meizhuang, and then a group of people passed over.

But before they could get out of the Garden, they were blocked by the two Xiao Langjun in front of them, both wearing royal blue men's shirts.

Taiping opened a pair of big eyes, glanced at Xue Shao, and then fell on Li Dan, with a bit of anger in his tone, "Fourth brother, you want to go out to play, and you don't even take me and Yongchang!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Li Dan coughed lightly and said, "We just want to go over to Meizhuang and have a look, and come back in a moment." “

Taiping snorted lightly, turned the horse's head, and said, "Yongchang and I are also going." ”

Li Dan: "......"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, thinking to myself if something happens to these two princesses, what if it is good? However, the young heart, the playful side defeated reason with an overwhelming victory, and Li Dan took Taiping and Li Chen to Meizhuang in a mighty way.

Song Jing was practicing calligraphy on the desk, and when he heard the movement, he was startled.

The steward of Meizhuang came to report: "San Lang, it is a distinguished guest who has come to play in the garden, Lu Sicheng has sent a post over, saying that these distinguished guests want to come to our side to relax, I heard that there is also a bright moon Xiaolangjun, saying that he is a friend with you." ”

Song Jing was originally the only son in the family, but when Song Wuben died that day, Song Shizhao said that the family would not be separated, and the two families would never be separated from each other. And Song Shizhao has two sons, both of whom are older than Song Jing, and the children of the two families are not divided into each other, so the people of the Song family call Song Jing San Lang.

Bright Moon Xiaolang-kun?

Song Jing remembered Li Mingyue, who came to him to play chess in the spring, and her brother who accompanied her when she was in Lingyin Temple. After half a year, is she so naughty that she wants to sneak out again?

He put down the pen in his hand and walked out.

"I'll take a look."

The steward stood beside him and nodded respectfully.

When Song Jing saw the so-called Mingyue Xiaolangjun, his footsteps involuntarily paused slightly. It's not just teenagers who are the same every year, but little girls too. I haven't seen her for half a year, Li Chen's height is a little taller, and the delicate temperament on her body can't be hidden, she stands next to her brother, looking up and frowning as if she is dissatisfied with something, and opposite her stand two young men of the same age as her brother, although one of them has a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, she can tell that it is a girl at a glance. If you look closely, it is a little similar to Li Chen.

Song Jing thought that the parents of these two little ladies were also broad-hearted.

Li Chen saw Song Jing and beckoned to him with big eyes. Li Chen and Taiping were talking to Li Dan and Xue Shao, and they didn't want to disturb Song Jing, because this group of teenagers just wanted to come here to swim.

Song Jing strode over and saluted them.

Probably the friendship between teenagers is very strange, as long as they have similar interests, they can get acquainted with each other in just a few words, and Li Dan and Song Jing are the kind of people who are free and easy although they are angry.

When Li Dan saw Song Jing in Lingyin Temple that day, he had the idea of making friends. Now when I saw him in Meizhuang, my eyes lit up, and I stepped forward to talk to him for a few words, and saw that he was speaking well, and I heard Li Xiudao hear how good Song Jing's drum sound was, so I looked at him even more.

Taiping and Xue Shao are not so enthusiastic about Song Jing, Taiping has long heard Ah Mei say that Song Jing, who has a boring personality but looks as handsome as Xue Shao's cousin, now that he looks at it, he feels that compared with Xue Shao, Song Jing is still a little worse. And Xue Shao hasn't seen his cousin Taiping for half a year, and now that he sees it, he naturally wants to coax his cousin to be happy, as for whether Song Jing is handsome or not, and whether the drum is beating well or not, Xue Shao said that he doesn't care.

The two saw that Li Dan and Song Jing were talking very sexually, so they didn't make a sound to disturb, and the two walked along the riverbank.

Sister Taiping saw Cousin Xue Shao, who was thinking about it for a long time, and even forgot about it.

Li Chen looked at the backs of the two people leaving, feeling as pitiful as the leaves that were blown off in the endless miserable wind and rain.

looked at Song Jing and Li Dan, who were talking about music and rhythm, and only heard Li Dan say: "There are also musicians in my house who are good at drumming, but it always sounds like something is missing." I heard that you are also good at beating drums, what do you think it takes to be a good drummer? ”

Song Jing: "If you want to beat the drum well, you must have your head like a green mountain peak and your hands like white raindrops, so you can be considered a good hand." ”

When Li Dan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I wonder if Brother Song Jing can let someone listen to the drums?" ”

Li Chen felt that according to the so-called moral standard of humility of the ancients, Song Jing should have pushed and let three times when he heard Li Dan's request, and then half pushed and half agreed on the spot, who knew that Song Jing was a young man who heard Li Dan's words, and nodded very happily, "Of course you can, it's just that a certain person is shallow in learning, if you don't knock well, don't laugh." ”

Li Chen: "......"

Li Chen followed his brother to Song Jing's residence in Meizhuang, Dongyuan, which was divided into three parts, the West Garden was where the female dependents lived, the Zhengfeng Hall in the middle was where Song Jing's uncle Song Shizhao lived, and the East Garden was Song Jing's residence.

The young man's residence was ancient but also very simple and clear, and Li Chen's eyes fell on a drum in the corner of the hall. Song Jing looked at the literary quality and politeness, Li Chen thought that he would be like his father, like the guqin, which looked quite elegant.

Song Jing ordered someone to take the drum to the yard and set it up, he played with two drum sticks in his hand, his good-looking eyes were raised, he looked at the bunch of brothers and sisters in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's just my idle pastime, welcome to advise." ”

Li Chen saw that he was calm and relaxed, obviously very confident in his skills.

Li Dan looked at a drum stick in Song Jing's hand spinning rapidly, about to turn into a windmill, and he was also very surprised in his heart, the drum is probably not just a pastime for Song Jing.

And when they came into Meizhuang just now, they heard the farmers in the fields humming a rather exotic tune in their mouths, and Song Jing's scholar Shicai was very proud to say that it was a tune that their family San Lang often played.

When the scholar Xiaowen was busy fixing the drum on the shelf, suddenly a steward came to find Song Jing, and Song Jing said that he was out of company, and went out.

The steward came to explain to Song Jing that the few distinguished guests brought by Yue Xiaolangjun jumped into the river one by one and asked Song Jing what to do? Although these dignitaries also have attendants, who knows if those attendants are all water-savvy? What if they have something to do in the river in Meizhuang?

Song Jing's voice came faintly, Li Chen probably heard him say that he went to the village to find a few men who were well versed in water to guard by the river, and how long they kept it would be counted as wages, and after the event, if the guests were safe and sound, there would be a silver reward.

Li Chen looked at the figure of the young man standing under the locust tree in the courtyard, he had his back to the courtyard, so she couldn't see the look on the young man's face, but looking at his back like this, she felt that the young man at this moment had a calm and solemn body like flowing water.

Compared with the noble children with flamboyant personalities, his calm and solemn attitude shows that his whole person is not as eye-catching as Xue Shao and Li Jingye. But Li Chen is a person who lives a little longer than others, and he doesn't really only appreciate the beautiful fur of others. She likes pleasing men, but she also admires Song Jing, who lost her father since she was a child, and now she has grown into a humble young man who is eager to learn and progress.

That kind of calm and solemnity may have been slowly precipitated by the pain of carrying it and the ardent expectation of its mother.
