Chapter 42: Zhilan Yushu

Zhou Ning and Du Shisan walked into the garden, and immediately a servant with a lantern stepped forward to lead the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Two sons, please come with me."

Zhou Ning nodded at him and followed with Du Shisan.

Along the way, from time to time, some unfamiliar talents or beauties greeted them, and Du Shisan had a wide exchange, so he went up to introduce and greet them.

In a few moments, the servant in front of him had quickly turned into a rather quiet road, and hurriedly followed.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I saw the flowing water in front of me, and a long stone road connected to the stone bridge, which was quite interesting with winding paths. A lot of bamboos are planted on both sides of the stone road, and there is a stone tablet on the side of the road, on which is written half a word: "A few poles to repair bamboo three more rain, leaves and leaves Xiaoxiao." Pay the autumn tide, don't mistake the double fish to Xie Bridge. ”

At this moment, the heavy rain is clear, under the cover of the bright moon, the mottled bamboo shadow hangs a few dew drops, projected on the bluestone pavement, giving people a deep and distant sense of quiet beauty.

On the stone path, occasionally a few servants and maids passed by, and from time to time they saluted them.

Compared with the noisy door of cars and horses, until this time, the garden is a bit of a 'settled in the human realm, without the noise of cars and horses'.

After walking for a while, the scenery changed, a lake appeared in front of him, the lake was surrounded by maple trees, red maple leaves flew around, it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the bright moon was in the sky, the bright moon was reflected on the lake, and he was in such a lonely and moving environment, although Zhou Ning still remembered the "Secret of Eternal Life" in his heart, and he also put aside his thoughts for a while, and forgot about the world.

Next to the lake, a quiet study hall engraved with "Forget the Guanxuan" stood quietly, and the servants waved at the two of them, pushed the door and walked in.

Zhou Ning said: "I never thought that Gong Xie knew how to enjoy it. ”

Du Shisan said hesitantly: "That's natural, hasn't Zhongdao heard of Wang Xie's family?" Now the king valve moved north to Jingzhao, and only the two major families of Xie valve and Song valve are left in the south, although Xie valve is now not as grand as it was back then, but as the only high gate in Jiangzuo, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. ”

As if he felt something, he suddenly shut up, and the two walked into the door one after the other.

I saw that the whole hall was furnished with mahogany furniture, famous paintings were hung on the four walls, and four octagonal palace lamps were hung on the beams.

At this moment, the courtyard is already full of people, most of them are some scholars with Confucian crowns, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, most of the literati liked to drink, and many scholars held wine glasses and drank by themselves.

Du Shisan suddenly said in his ear: "Sure enough, it is the Xie valve of 'Poetry and Wine Romance', hey, in addition to Shang everyone, they actually invited Lan Gongyuan, a soft-boned girl among the four famous concubines in the world, to perform, this is really ...... Tsk, good soft waist. ”

Following Du Shisan's gaze, I saw not far away, a very beautiful girl was standing with Tingting, the most striking thing was her soft and boneless waist, which seemed to be about to break with a slight twist.

In this kind of gathering of big families, it can be seen that some differences can be seen, since the Han people formed the custom of 'kneeling and sitting' in front of Yin Zhou's knees and sitting on the heels of the family, it has become an important part of Confucian ritual culture. Sitting on the ground, with the legs stretched out and sitting with the feet hanging down are considered disrespectful and taboo. After the end of the Han Dynasty, Hu and Han mixed places, the 'Hu sitting' or 'Kei sitting' with hanging feet and sitting on a chair have been widely spread among the Han people, forming a new culture of high-legged beds, chairs, and stools. However, in the family, 'hu sitting' is still regarded as disrespectful and uneducated.

At this moment, Xie An does not seem to have come. Among these people, Zhou Ning saw a young man in plain blue Confucian clothes at first sight, with a tall figure, like a treasure knife out of the sheath, with an indescribable radiant look. Although he is also a man, it is undeniable that this person is extremely attractive, and just by kneeling and sitting, he already has a super strong aura.

When Zhou Ning looked at him, the young man also set his eyes on him and smiled at him.

Du Shisan said in a low voice: "This person is Xie Xuan, the Xie family's 'Zhilan Yushu', who has not yet arrived in the Chinese New Year's Eve, but he has already ranked first among the nine rank masters. Even Song Valve's "Heavenly Sword" Song Que is not his opponent. ”

Zhou Ning was taken aback when he heard it, the name Xie Xuan was naturally like thunder, a famous Beifu soldier in his previous life, a top talent with both civil and military skills. Unexpectedly, in this world, he was actually a top master who overpowered Song Que of the Heavenly Sword.

Xie Xuan stood up and said in a soft voice, "Brother Du, who is this?" ”

At the moment, Du 13 introduced and greeted. Xie Xuan said with a smile: "It turned out that it was Zhou Zhongdao who was 'dripping with ink and rain' in front of him, disrespectful, disrespectful. ”

Zhou Ning arched his hand, not daring to do so.

"Zhou Ning Zhou Zhongdao?"

Suddenly, everyone present turned their eyes over, a few days ago in the Qin Tower, Zhou Ning's "Ink and Bamboo Map" came out, and it amazed half of Yangzhou City. Tang Bohu, is a well-known merry talent, a representative of the Wuzhong School of painting, a popular candidate for Xie Yuan, his painting is not easy, but he was angry with a "Ink and Bamboo Picture", and he met to fight again in the Yuan Wenhui, which is what everyone talks about. Combined with the anecdote of "The Chicken Pecks at the Rice Map" two years ago, this is undoubtedly a good topic for Sui people who like legendary stories. At this moment, the core character of the story appeared on the scene, which attracted a strong onlooker from the audience.

Tang Bohu, the other protagonist in the story, sat in the corner drinking angrily, obviously in a bad mood, and there were three people sitting next to him.

Du Shisan is really a courtesan, and then, he led Zhou Ning to circulate around the banquet, and then, there were all kinds of greetings and greetings, and dozens of people sat densely in the seat, and there were few impressions and many impressions, and those who really knew Tang Bohu, Liu Yong, Li Guinian and others.

Du Shisan pointed to a middle-aged scribe who was drinking a low drink, and said, "Zhong Dao, this is He Jizhen, a Siming maniac who made 'discarding his daughter and ignoring it, hesitating to meet five horses'. ”

Zhou Ning raised his eyes and saw that this person looked quite ordinary, only a rosacea was quite conspicuous, but he didn't expect that such an inconspicuous middle-aged man was actually the famous He Zhizhang?

Hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

He Zhizhang returned the salute quite uninhibitedly, and said with a smile: "Can Little Brother Zhou drink?" ”

Zhou Ning said: "I'll have a few drinks with Brother He later." ”

Du Shisan continued to make an introduction, pointing to a raunchy man and said: "This is Zhang Xu Zhang Bogao, a good handwriting, in the Eastern Capital, Pei Min's sword dance, Zhang Xu's cursive writing is called a double masterpiece." ”

Zhou Ning's eyes showed a hint of essence, and he said happily: "But the top is exposed to the bed, and he screams three or five times." Zhang Bogao, who is sprinkling Subi and waving his pen like a meteor? ”

Zhang Xu laughed and said: "Good poetry, good poetry, Brother Zhou is really good at writing, so the poem should be a big deal." ”

I poured myself a glass of wine, and when I drank it, my face did not change.

Du 13 then introduced Lin Hejing and Xu Wenchang to Zhou Ning. Lin Hejing is a little old man who looks quite arrogant, while Xu Wenchang is a sour Confucian who likes to shake his head and shake his head, and is unkempt.

Du 13 introduced Zhou Ning one by one, and after a while, Du 13 suddenly sighed and whispered: "Gong Xie is really a big face, how can this little old man Shilong have the leisure to come here, could it be that he is willing to leave his precious Taoist scripture?" ”

Following Du Shisan's gaze, Zhou Ning saw an old man with a clumsy face, sitting alone next to a few cases, closing his eyes and recuperating.
