Chapter 37: Watching the Apricot Banquet

After leaving the Peony Garden, the King of Xin'an County and the King of Tianshui County glanced at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately went straight to the apricot garden. After walking a few steps, Li Hui thought of the county lord of Changning and Qin Yun again, and looked back, but found that Li Ju was still following behind: "Why did Brother come out too?" Looking at the sister-in-law's big matter, watching the Jinshi banquet is small, the brother should go in. ”

After all, the two of them are just the companions of this banquet, and they don't care if they run away, but Li Ju is the core figure of this banquet, and he can't leave. If this feast is broken up unhappily because of this, the two of them will not only be punished by their own grandfather, but also taken by their grandfather to teach them a lesson. Besides, isn't my cousin quite enthusiastic about seeing each other? It seems that he has been thinking about marrying a lady for a long time, how can he be willing to leave?

Li Juqing coughed, remembering the little lady he had just glimpsed at in shock, and replied a little absentmindedly: "...... I'm still a little worried about the two of you...... Didn't you say you'd come back after a look? It shouldn't be a mistake. With me with me, don't try to run around with me, lest you be punished by your uncle and mother when you get there. ”

The problem is, the two of them just want to walk around at will, at least follow the flower tanning envoy to explore the flowers! How can it be done by being watched so closely? What's the fun of just looking at the faces of the new recruits? Is it possible to listen to their poetry and poetry? One of the two small county kings is deeply cultivated and has a high enough vision, and the other is not interested in poetry at all, so he will naturally not be bored.

At this moment, the county lord of Changning and Qin Yun also walked out with their skirts, followed by several servants and maids. The two little guys had sharp eyes, looked back at Li Ju in their eyes, and looked at the little lady curiously for a long time, it was a little late. They are good children who remember their duties, and they want to play with their brothers, and they do not delay them to inquire about the little ladies.

"Cousin, cousin!" The county lord of Changning came to the middle of the brothers, his eyes were shining, full of pride and pride, "The identity of that little lady, we have already inquired." Without waiting for Li Ju to react, she immediately blushed and stopped, and she continued: "That's the eldest daughter of the secretary and young eunuch, I heard that there are two little ladies in their family, and they are all raised as Xiaolangjun. The eldest lady is proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, very powerful! ”

Under the curious gaze of Li Hui and Li Jing, Li Ju's face was burning as if it were burning. The gentleman, who is as warm as jade, seems to be gradually dyed red by the sunset, and he looks more and more outstanding.

Li Jing is a young man who is really in love, and when he laughs, he has a joke or two, but he doesn't think much about it. Li Hui is already in his twenties, so naturally he doesn't know anything, and at the same time he is a little relieved: the word "love" is really fate. I don't know if he and his future princess can have such a fate. If you become a resentful couple again, what good is the marriage, it is better not to have it at all.

Of course, this qiē is not entirely up to him. If his mother Yan presided over for him, he would probably consider his preferences and ideas. But if the uncle marries after he ascends the throne, he will probably only consider issues such as the right match, and it is impossible to ask about the wishes of both parties. I can't say that he will still live with the princess of the previous life - a day that both parties feel is meaningless.

"Since the cousin has already fallen in love, he should inform the elders immediately." After settling down, Li Hui said, "Lest the elders guess wrong and mistakenly order the mandarin duck spectrum." Seeing that Qin Yun didn't seem to have any interest in the apricot garden next door, he said again: "Ah Yun followed his cousin back and talked to the elders about the good news." The two of us are waiting for our cousin to get married and be my brother's maid. If nothing else, at least I can help my brother block a stick. ”

Li Jing nodded again and again: "This Peony Garden is a good place, the banquet has just begun, and my brother is already in love." In the future, it will be our turn to choose the princess, and we will also hold a banquet in this peony garden, maybe we can also meet the princess who agrees! The young man was full of spirit, his eyebrows fluttering, and he was full of joy for the future.

Li Hui looked at it, and couldn't help but be a little envious of his vitality. However, when I thought about it, I felt a sigh in my heart: what is wrong with being like this now? Being able to fulfill filial piety under the knees of grandpa and mother, being able to care for each other with his brother, and being able to make friends are all compensation given to him by fate. Moreover, after experiencing so many things in his previous life, his temperament was sharpened fiercely. I finally recognized it clearly - only by being cautious and cautious is the way for the Pu Wang family to survive for a long time. As for the Yue Wang family, if he can change the fate of his own family, he may be able to try to change the fate of other relatives.

Li Ju was thin-skinned and couldn't stand the jokes of his cousins, so he took Qin Yun back to the Peony Garden. When parting, he did not forget to tell Yin Yin to tell the three of them to come back early. Li Hui agreed very happily, but when he turned around, he smiled at each other, and invariably threw what Fang Cai said out of the clouds.

When they came to the apricot orchard, there were indeed many students from Guozixue outside. Li Hui looked at many people and felt a little familiar, but he didn't know the name and surname. Li Jing knew a lot of people and took the initiative to inquire. The county lord of Changning looked left and right, and only found Yan Balang and a few other Langjun, so he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, is Wang Langjun here?" ”

Li Hui was also looking for Wang Zixian in the crowd, and when he heard the words, he said, "It seems that he is not there." ”

"Cousin Jing has people he knows, but the two of us don't know each other...... It's like we've been thrown down. The little guy was a little dissatisfied, and glanced at Lang Jun of the Yan family with disgust. She didn't like the little lady of the Yan family, and this disgust spread to their brothers. "Is it Hugh Mu today? How do I remember not? They...... They're truant! Hmph, it's still Wang Langjun who is diligent and has a good attitude. ”

"I learned this kind of thing from my uncle, right?" Li Hui couldn't help laughing, "Everyone is just a little curious." Moreover, if you work hard enough on weekdays, it doesn't hurt to rest for a day or two. I'd rather Zixian could come over, I've been busy these past few days, and I don't bother to visit him. ”

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind the two, and he took over with a smile: "I'm ashamed, I've been busy with my studies and cleaning up the new yard, and I don't care about going to the palace to visit the king." ”

The two cousins turned around and saw Wang Zixian, who was wearing a pale blue robe with large sleeves, walking slowly. At that time, people loved to wear round-necked robes or lapel-neck robes, and because they loved to ride horses, they also wore narrow sleeves, and it was relatively rare for young men to wear like him. And he was born handsome and straight, and his demeanor was elegant and moderate, and he wore such a long sleeve and long coat, which made him look more and more outstanding.

"You ......" Li Hui looked in the direction he came, "Could it be that you just went to the Peony Garden to look for me?" ”

"Yes, when I first came to Xingyuan, I heard that a banquet was held next door, and the king of Xin'an and Tianshui were there, so I wanted to meet you. But the servants who were guarding outside did not want to pass the word, so they had to come back again. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected joy. The prince replied and gave a special salute to the county lord of Changning.

The little county lord decided to selectively forget what he had just said: "It turns out that I missed it, so let's just come and see the new jinshi together." Did they all go in? ”

"They all went in, and there were only a dozen or so people in total. The new jinshi is no different from ordinary people, it is nothing more than that he is proud of his talents. Maybe when they get to the court, they will know that they are not necessarily much smarter than others when they are new jinshi year after year. The prince replied, with no envy or admiration in his words.

"Isn't there a first-class jinshi in the Jinshi branch this time? It is said to be a very young head. Li Hui said, "And his background seems to be quite good, even the palace is talking about him everywhere." We have come today to see him. He is not too old to be crowned, and he will definitely be accused of being a flower explorer. ”

Wang Zixian glanced at him, but rarely answered. Of course, he also knew about this Jiadi head, and almost all of Guozixue's classmates came to see him. Even in Chang'an City, I don't know how many people are waiting for the new Tanhua envoy to appear.

“…… It's from the Yang family. The county lord of Changning's interest suddenly faded a little, "Grandpa mentioned it a lot, and I also want to see if he was born with three heads and six arms." ”

"Hongnong County Gongyang Family?" Li Hui thought for a moment and suddenly understood. The Gongyang family of Hongnong County is the big house of the Hongnong Yang family, one of the top gate lord clans. The family has been inherited for hundreds of years or even millennia, and the heritage of Hongnong Yang is self-evident. However, what made their family famous all over the world was that a certain branch of the clan actually came to work as an emperor from time to time. Although the former dynasty was short-lived, it was the royal family of the first dynasty after all, so its reputation spread more and more.

Their Li family and the Yang family used to be very close in-laws, and the sage had to call the late emperor of the previous dynasty a cousin, so he was quite tolerant of the Hongnong Yang family. There are two or three Yang families in the harem of today's saints alone, one of whom is the daughter of the Yang family of Hongnong County, who was named Concubine De and gave birth to Princess Anxing and King Huai Li Hua. And one of the crown prince Li Kun's Liangdi is also the niece of Concubine Yang De's next room, giving birth to the prince's eldest son and second daughter - the eldest son has just turned five years old, and the second daughter is still in infancy.

Now the Yang family has another young leader, and he has invisibly supported Yang Liangdi. Even the crown princess Du had no other intentions, and the sensitive county lord of Changning might have sensed something. That's why I'm dissatisfied with this head.

When Li Hui was about to die in his previous life, he remembered that the Yang family was competing for the throne with another favorite concubine by virtue of giving birth to a son, and he was about to stir up the entire court into the harem. Come to think of it, Queen Du should have died of illness at that time, and she did not leave a concubine. Therefore, he has always had pity for the county lord of Changning. People's hearts have always been biased, and they naturally don't have much affection for the Yang family of Hongnong County.

So, after a little thought, he comforted: "The head of the first boy is not uncommon in the world. ”

“…… Brother lied to me...... Grandpa said that he is the first such a young leader in our country. The county lord of Changning pursed his lips.

The uncovered King of Xin'an County still continued with an unchanged face: "The one standing next to you is the youngest young man in our dynasty in the future." ”

So, the eyes of the two cousins fell on Wang Zixian. Wang Langjun, who was "the head of the first place", couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly felt that the pressure increased sharply.
