On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, this is the day when Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran rest together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is the Dragon Boat Festival, in order to prevent a large number of people watching the dragon boat race from accidentally stampede on that day, therefore, in the early morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Waijin Wuwei and Jingzhao Yin Yamen are all dispatched to deploy along the river where the dragon boat race is held. Therefore, in order to facilitate the deployment of manpower on the 8th, Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran's rest days were moved to today.

"Isn't it great, how long has it been since our brothers and sisters have been together? While everyone is free today, let's go to the extraordinary place to sit down. At noon on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Shaoyun, Lin Xiran and Zeng Keying, who had not been seen for a long time, stepped into the West Market together and went straight to Zhuo Feifan's gluttonous building.

Lu Shaoyun's three hairs, Lin Xiran took the path of a military attache and started to catch fast; Zhuo Feifei took the road of making money and became a wealthy businessman; There is only one left, Zeng Keying, who has taken the road of hard study and scientific examination, and has been in the cold for more than ten years, and the gold list is named High School Tanhua.

"It's really time to get together, but Ying, you have won the Jinke Tanhua, and we haven't had time to celebrate for you yet!"

"It's okay, but Ting Xuan's lifelong event has finally been decided, so it's really time to celebrate!" Zeng Keying, who was bookish and elegant with elegant eyebrows, quipped: "I just don't know, how long will you and Extraordinary drag on, you two are not, you can't become a monk." ”

Among the four good buddies, Zeng Keying was the first to start a family, and he is already a father of two children at the age of twenty. The reasons why Lu Shaoyun, Lin Xiran and Zhuo Feifei did not start a family were because of "I used to be at the border and had no conditions to get married", "A few years ago, my stepmother intervened and I was unwilling to get married", and "The clothes and decorations were too showy, so that I had no partner to marry".

Facing Zeng Keying's ridicule, Lin Xiran laughed and said: "I have left the Zhongqin Bofu now, but I am like an orphan who has no father, no mother and no elders to take care of, and wants to get married?" I'm afraid it's not easy! ”

Zeng Keying, who had a deep understanding of the situation of Lin Xiran's family, heard this, and changed the topic with a smile: "Ting Xuan, I heard that you and Xiran have been in frequent contact with each other recently, and you are about to become twin brothers, what's the matter, you two have a good relationship like this, don't you want to break up with me and Feifei, right?" ”

"What's the matter? It's just wronged! Lu Shaoyun said with an expression that I was completely thinking about you: "Keying, you will take the exam in March and the palace exam in April, and you are very busy throughout February after the first month, so how can I bother you in this situation!" ”

"Extraordinary, after the beginning of the spring, he opened a new store, for the dividends at the end of the year, how can I be embarrassed to make trouble for him when he is the busiest. Besides, didn't the case of the 'Blood Pill' that Xiran originally investigated just handed over to our Waijin Wuwei, and there is nothing wrong with me digging more clues from him, right? ”

"You still have to talk about business after you get off duty, Ting Xuan, do you and Xiran want to fight so hard?"

In this way, the group of three people talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the street where the gluttonous building was located, but before the three of them entered the door, Zeng Keying, who was a little behind, was suddenly stopped by someone: "Brother Keying!" ”

The people who spoke out were two young men dressed as scholars who came out of the Zhenqu Pavilion opposite the gluttonous building, and looked at it, yo ho, the two Lu Shaoyun still knew each other.

The taller one is Lu Shaoyun's "rival in love" who has only met once but is deeply in his memory-Liu Zirun. Next to Liu Zirun, the younger one was Pei Muchen, who Lu Shaoyun had also only met once, but did not leave any impression.

There are generally three kinds of deep friendships established between scholars in Great Xia: fellow villagers, fellow villagers, and fellow scholars in the same year. Liu Zirun was the same year as Zeng Keying, and Pei Muchen was Zeng Keying's fellow descendant, so it was natural that they had a good relationship with Zeng Keying. After all, Pei Muchen and Zeng Keying have known each other since they were more than ten years old, and the Qionglin banquet held in the palace at the end of April was enough for Liu Zirun and Zeng Keying to have a good exchange.

"You're here to visit the Fun Pavilion?" After a moment of greetings, Zeng Keying turned to Liu Zirun, who had not yet received a real job like him, so he had a lot of leisure in recent days, and said: "Zirun's painting skills are so outstanding, I don't know which master's masterpiece you can buy." ”

"No, no, no, but Brother Ying has won the prize, and besides, I just came to see it today, and I didn't buy anything. The one who really bought the painting was Mu Chen. ”

"Oh? Mu Chen's purchase is three, I don't know which famous painters these paintings are from? ”

"If you want to talk about a celebrity, she is not yet. However, the paintings of the Qingshuang monks are my favorite ones. It's just ......" Pei Muchen said here with a little regret: "In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy her paintings anymore." ”

"Qingshuang Jushi", this is the number used by Xia Shuanghan when painting, Lu Shaoyun, who has seen the painting of "a little red in the green bushes" in the Zhenqu Pavilion, naturally knows Xia Shuanghan's self-proclaimed. So, after hearing the words "Qingshuang Layman", he involuntarily leaned towards the three people who spoke.

Xia Shuanghan's paintings, the price of each one is not cheap, Pei Muchen can buy three of them as soon as he buys them, which shows that he really loves Xia Shuanghan's calligraphy and paintings.

Listening to Pei Muchen's praise for Xia Shuanghan's calligraphy and paintings, and Lu Shaoyun, who was honored, suddenly felt that maybe Xia Shuanghan was not just selling paintings for money. After all, it is indeed a joy to be recognized and appreciated by others for your expertise. Therefore, it is indeed understandable that Xia Shuanghan is unwilling to give up selling his paintings casually due to the reason of marriage.

The conversation of the four people became five people with Lin Xiran joining, and after learning that Pei Muchen was going to invite Liu Zirun to have dinner in the gluttonous building, Zhuo Feifei had two more chairs in the single room prepared for the three of them.

"Why do all three of you know Yoo Zirun?" When he stepped upstairs, Lu Shaoyun, who was walking last, grabbed Lin Xiran's sleeve in front of him and asked the doubts in his heart. Of course, the three people he said naturally meant his three hairs.

"Hey, didn't you meet last year when the 60th anniversary of the opening of the True Fun Pavilion was celebrated?" Lin Xiran said solemnly: "The man who appeared next to my buddy's fiancée, the three of us saw it, so I have to help you pay attention to it!" ”

As a result, the gathering in the private room on the third floor of the Gluttony Building changed from four people to six people as expected at the beginning. And the topic content at the dinner table has become more broad.

from congratulating Liu Zirun and Zeng Keying to high school, to wishing Lu Shaoyun a happy life after marriage; From wishing Pei Muchen the title of the gold list in three years, to hoping that Zhuo Extraordinary's newly opened jewelry industry will be prosperous. After talking about Tiannan and Haibei, and miscellaneous things, in the end, the topic of several people somehow turned to Xia Shuanghan.

Listening to Liu Zirun's "how Xia Shuanghan used his brains to set traps when he was a child, and helped him seek justice from the little boy who bullied him in the neighborhood", "how Xia Shuanghan faced him across the table when he grew up, appreciated and commented on each other's paintings", and then talked about "how Xia Shuanghan bravely broke into the fire on the night of the Lantern Festival and rescued him and his sister Liu Mingzhu". The vinegary Lu Shaoyun began to pantothenic and astringent in his heart again, and he didn't want to listen to it anymore.

What do you mean? You're demonstrating to me to show me how deep the love between Frost and you is, isn't it? Do you still want to say that your position in Frost Cold's heart, no matter how hard I try to catch up, I will never be able to cross it, right?!

But God knows, the reason why Liu Zirun talked about these past events here and now is all with good intentions.

First of all, Xia Shuanghan once whipped people with a horsewhip on the street in the west market of the capital in front of Lin Xiran, in order to prevent Xia Shuanghan's actions from leaving a pungent and barbaric impression on Lu Shaoyun, Liu Zirun deliberately talked about his childhood past, in order to tell Lu Shaoyun that Xia Shuanghan is actually a good girl who loves and hates clearly, and does not help her relatives, and the reason why she wants to swing the whip is just to treat her body in the way of others, and to punish her with a small punishment and a big commandment.

Secondly, because Xia Jingzhi upholds the nobility of the literati, he never sells his calligraphy and paintings. As Xia Jingzhi's daughter, Xia Shuanghan never stopped painting three paintings of the moon and the moon, and even once showed up with him to paint the pair of "a little red in the green bushes". In order to prevent these things from leaving Lu Shaoyun with the impression that "Xia Shuanghan behaves frivolously and is greedy for money", Liu Zirun mentioned the past of his painting with Xia Shuanghan's classmates, just to explain clearly that he and Xia Shuanghan were not using paintings to convey love, and Xia Shuanghan did not follow his father to learn painting because he loved money.

Finally, the reason why I want to mention the fire on the night of the Lantern Festival is to tell Lu Shaoyun that Xia Shuanghan values love and righteousness, and the reason why she broke into the burning teahouse was originally just to rescue Liu Mingzhu who was trapped inside, not for him Liu Zirun.

But Liu Zirun's painstaking efforts in telling these past events were all in vain because of Lu Shaoyun's many misunderstandings.
