Chapter 9: The Apricot Garden Covenant

Zhao Gang, who disturbed the court, also stared at Beichen, his face was proud, and muttered: "Who are you, you dare to roar the court, you can take a good look, this is the Mansion Yin Yamen, and you can't be presumptuous." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

"A word to wake up the person in the dream, in comparison, who of the two of us is uninvited, and has the face to roar in court......"

The language of the two was full of gunpowder, and everyone didn't know what was going on for a while, only the maid Xiaolan saw some signs, and hurriedly hid behind the eldest lady and reminded: "Miss." ”

Zhao Gang's eyes rolled slightly, and he didn't refute Beichen's words, turned his head, looked at Mu Qing in the high hall, and said respectfully: "Father-in-law......"

Beichen's face sank, he wanted to be mad but couldn't find an excuse, so he could only stare at the young man coldly, but at this time, Mu Wantong suddenly spoke: "Zhao Gang, we are not suitable, and I already have someone I like, please don't bother me again!" ”

"What? Like...... Like the people! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, and immediately became angry when he recalled it, no wonder his fiancΓ©e has always refused to marry, it turned out that it was because of someone else, he looked at Beichen with red eyes, looked at Beichen with a hideous face, gritted his teeth and said: "The person you are talking about, is it him?" ”

Mu Wantong narrowed her eyes, looked at Zhao Gang with a cold look, and muttered unwillingly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Then he deserves to die!"

Zhao Gang turned around, pulled out the cyan long sword he carried with a sonorous sound, and stabbed Beichen's throat with the cyan long sword in his hand, as for Beichen, he hadn't recovered from Mu Wantong's words at this time, just waiting for the long sword to attack, he was still stunned, and he didn't react at all.

"Khooth!"

Seeing that Zhao Gang really dared to make a move in front of everyone's eyes, Mu Wantong was furious, threw out the silver hairpin on her hairpin, and collided with the long sword in Zhao Gang's hand, making a crisp sound.

Zhao Gang was forced to retreat, he glanced at Mu Wantong, did not step forward again, but stared at Beichen fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "If you are a man, don't hide behind a woman as a shrinking turtle." ”

Beichen came back to his senses, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, and in the face of Zhao Gang, who wanted to kill him, Beichen became angry, and said coldly with murderous intent: "I'm not a man?" You can't even beat a woman, so which onion is it? ”

"You're looking for death!"

With the long sword in his hand, Zhao Gang wanted to rush forward again, but at this time, Mu Qing, who had not spoken, frowned slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Zhao Gang, don't be presumptuous." ”

Hearing this voice and noticing the noisy crowd, Zhao Gang stared at Beichen and gritted his teeth, dropped a cruel word and left: "If you have the guts, see you in Xingyuan in two days!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll be there!"

Staring at the back of Zhao Gang leaving, Beichen's neck was still faintly cold, thinking of the scene just now, it was still difficult to calm down, if it wasn't for Mu Wantong's action, I'm afraid he would be a corpse now.

Turning his head, Beichen looked at Mu Wantong, who had straight legs and a slender waist, his face was surprised, he couldn't have imagined that under such a thin body, there was such a terrifying power.

The maid Xiaolan knew what he was thinking, and snickered: "You don't know yet, although my master is Luoyang Mansion Yin, his predecessor is a striker in the army, nicknamed General Qianniu!" ”

Beichen opened his mouth wide in surprise, he never expected that Mu Qing's old guy used to be a military general, no wonder, otherwise, everyone is so good, who will dance with a knife and a gun.

It's just that at this moment, Mu Wantong frowned, at a loss, and after thinking about it for a few breaths, she said in a deep voice: "Two days later, you still don't go to Xingyuan." ”

"Why?"

Beichen frowned and asked, for the person who wanted to kill him, Beichen was really angry, if he didn't find the field, he would definitely not eat and drink well, like a fish in his throat.

However, Beichen keenly noticed that the eyes of Xiaolan, the maid on the side, looked at him strangely, and they were not the same as usual.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Wantong muttered: "Two days later, there will be a Luoyang poetry meeting in Xingyuan, and the person who presides over this poetry meeting is the former court pavilion old Wang Changling Wang!" ”

After a pause, under Beichen's surprised expression, Mu Wantong continued: "And Zhao Gang is the beloved disciple of Lord Wang Wei. ”

"Yes, Zhao Gang is still one of the four talents in Chang'an City!"

Beichen's eyes were dark, and he almost fell directly to the ground, just heard the famous poet Wang Changling, he was still full of excitement and surging emotions, who would have thought that Nima, that bastard turned out to be Wang Changling's apprentice.

No one thought about this episode, it was all a joke, and Mu Wantong and Xiaolan didn't think that Beichen would go to Xingyuan, after all, not everyone could participate in that poetry meeting.

The worst one must have the skills of Xiucai, otherwise he won't even be able to enter the gate of the apricot garden!

But they didn't expect that Beichen was a tendon, and ten cows couldn't pull it back.

Mu Qing only said four faint words about this matter: "Don't measure yourself!" ”

Two days later, in the early morning, the lotus buds are waiting to be released, crimson is dripping, under the backdrop of the green leaves on the side, it looks particularly beautiful, Beichen sits in the idle garden, holding a fishing rod in both hands, closing his eyes to recuperate.

"Wake up so early?"

Mu Wantong has the habit of getting up early, she was very surprised when she saw Beichen, it has been a few days, Beichen has no habit of getting up early, she only gets up at three o'clock in the morning, she hasn't eaten breakfast, and today is too abnormal.

Beichen looked back at that kind of bewitching face and smiled slightly: "Today is an extraordinary day, get up and nourish your mind, and avoid hurting people again......"

But to be honest, Beichen really wanted to beat that bastard Haibian in his heart, but considering his own strength, he could only give up.

"An extraordinary day?"

Wearing the golden fork on her head, Mu Wantong opened her mouth very curiously, and after counting her breaths, she seemed to remember something, and suddenly widened Danfeng's eyes, and said in surprise: "You don't want to go to Xingyuan today!" ”

"Hmph, that's of course, I still want to talk to Lord Wang Changling and Wang Changling, chanting poems and talking about wine......" Beichen's nostrils were facing the sky, with a proud face, that look was clearly the posture of the second and the third in the world.

"Poof......

Mu Wantong suddenly laughed and the pear blossoms trembled, if Beichen dared to go to the apricot garden to challenge Zhao Gang, maybe she would still believe it, but to go against the old king of the former court pavilion, Lord Changling, would be a joke.

Wang Changling, a high-ranking and powerful pavilion elder in the former dynasty, is deeply loved by all the people, but the most famous is not his official position, but his poems.

If there are poets in the Tang Dynasty, who can compare with them, there are really not many, and even if there are, there are very few!

Beichen naturally knew this, the reason why he wanted to go was to meet this great poet who was called the "Seven Absolute Holy Hands" by later generations, and the spirit was also to avenge the sword!

Turning around, Beichen looked at Mu Wantong strangely, and said seriously: "What are you laughing at?" I'm serious. ”

It's just that the more serious Beichen said, the more Mu Wantong felt that it was a joke, Wang Changling was like an unattainable mountain for many poets, and Beichen, a rookie, actually wanted to go against Ge Lao's poetry, this is not a joke.

Mu Wantong left, Beichen continued to sit in the pavilion, until the newborn sunrise was a little hot, he slowly stood up, and walked out of the Mu Mansion with a leisurely stroll.

The apricot orchard is a pure place, and there will be no one in three or two days on weekdays, but early in the morning, this place is shrouded in boiling voices, and the season is in March when the apricot blossoms are blooming, far away, Beichen smells the fragrance of the partition wall, fragrant and fragrant.

"My lord, please show me the invitation?"

As soon as he walked to the gate of the apricot orchard, he was stopped by a doorman, Beichen looked left and right, and found that everyone else had taken a piece of lilac paper, and when he walked through the door, he showed it and took out this piece of paper, and he could pass through it safely.

Frowning slightly, Beichen said in a deep voice with a dark face: "Isn't this a gathering of literati?" Why do you need invitations? ”

"Today is naturally a literati gathering day!" The two guards saw that Beichen was dressed extraordinarily and was quite polite.

Beichen narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and glanced sideways at Xingyuan: "Since it is a gathering of literati, do you know the geometry of the people in the world?" How many invitations do you can't deliver? How can you keep people from afar? ”

Glancing at each other, both of them frowned, they were all shocked by Beichen's sharp words, and they didn't know what to say, so they could only murmur: "We are also under orders!" ”

Glancing at the apricot orchard, Beichen's face was pale, knowing that he couldn't get in at the gate of the apricot orchard today, he flicked his sleeves, turned his head and left, and walked into the distance, Beichen raised his head and happened to see a red apricot coming out of the wall.

Taking a deep breath, Beichen suddenly remembered a poem and blurted out: "A branch of red is out of the wall, and the pedestrians outside the wall are sad." It looks like there is still hatred, but it's even more difficult to stay everywhere. ”

After a pause, Beichen's eyes flickered, and then said: "The forest sky color warbler arrived first, and the spring light fragrance and cold butterfly did not swim." It also recalls the tens of thousands of trees in the emperor's township, and the smoke cage is dark in China. ”

The first half of the sentence is nothing, but the second half of what Beichen said is a little careful, especially the last sentence recalls the emperor's hometown of thousands of trees, and the smoke cage is dark in Shenzhou, this sentence has a faint meaning of bewitching the public.

"Good poetry, young man."

But at this moment, there was a sudden old laugh behind Beichen, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked back, behind him, there was a white-haired old man who was also staring at him with a smile.

"Who are you, have you ever heard the meaning of my poem?" Beichen stared at the old man vigilantly, his body was tense, a little nervous, the last two sentences were criticized, once it came out, I was afraid that it would not be good.

The old man nodded and laughed: "Everyone has their own intentions, I only heard that it is a good poem, and there is a lot of resentment in the beginning, I don't know why Xiaoyou is watching the flowers through the wall, why don't you enter the courtyard and see the color of the apricot blossoms?" ”

Finding that the old man did not pursue it, Beichen breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "Shut out, I have to watch the spring through the wall!" ”
