Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Dingyuan Feast
The gong sounded, the time had come, and the candidates left the venue one after another.
The crowd was bustling, and at the beginning of the month, with the flow of people, all the way out of Chang'an Gate. Although the trial has been completed, Hang Zhongxuan still needs to be busy for a while, so he explained that he will go back at the beginning of the month.
Out of Chang'an Gate. Unexpectedly, I saw Yun Xiang, who was dressed in a purple female official uniform, standing under a palace acacia tree outside the door, and Su Yunli standing beside her, and the two talked and laughed. Seeing that the moon also came out, she hurriedly beckoned.
"At the beginning of the month, here!" Afraid that she didn't see it, Yun Xiang also called out. Su Yunli looked at Yun Xiang's eyes, and when he saw that it was the beginning of the month, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled politely.
If you don't laugh, you can't laugh, and a smile suddenly turns into a cold feeling, and it is more elegant. Maybe this Miss Su is not so difficult to get close to. At this time, such a thought suddenly flashed in the heart of the moon.
When she got closer, she called, "Yunxiang." Then he looked at Su Yunli again, and said, "Miss Su." ”
Yun Xiang smiled and said, "Yunli, this is what I just told you, Hang Yue, the daughter of Lord Hang of the Ministry of Rites." ”
"It turns out that you are Miss Hang." Su Yunli looked at the beginning of the month with some curiosity, smiled and replied: "We just met, in the examination room." ”
The beginning of the month nodded, looked at Yun Xiang again, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and horses rely on saddles." "Yunxiang, who is in public uniform, has lost the grace of a woman, and has a little more heroic training. At the beginning of the month, I couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Seeing the look in his eyes at the beginning of the month, Yun Xiang smiled bitterly: "This body is not so easy to wear, you are a little envious." ”
Su Yunli was slightly surprised: "What?" Something happened in the palace again? ”
Nodding, Yun Xiang said: "Concubine Zhu has a miscarriage, and the Queen Mother is in a hurry to recruit into the palace." As he spoke, he glanced around, and whispered to Su Yunli: "Fortunately, your father didn't agree to you entering the palace back then, but it's really not a place for people to stay."
After hearing this, Moon Moon and Yunli bluffed each other and did not speak.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little heavy, and Yun Xiang pursed his mouth, "If we don't talk about this, you two have finally finished the exam, and you should also celebrate." I booked a banquet in Dingyuan Building, so you can't push it. ”
"This" was stunned at the beginning of the month, I didn't expect Yunxiang to make a special trip to book a banquet, but my mother was waiting at home, and she had to go back.
"Then that, what did you just say, the beginning of the month won't come, right? But just the three of us, I didn't call anyone else. She grabbed the moon and said, "You just go~ Your mother won't blame you, it won't be long before we have a feast." I also made a special trip to ask for Yaodenke, and I am waiting to congratulate you. As she spoke, she didn't forget to shake her sleeve twice.
"This scoundrel's temperament still can't be changed," Yunli on the side snorted lightly, "Miss Hang should go, I couldn't get acquainted with each other before, and I want to take this opportunity to get close." Lingtang, why don't we go back and freshen up, how about getting together in Dingyuan Building? She thought for a moment.
"Just right, I'm going back to change my clothes." Yun Xiang immediately agreed when he heard it
"Okay." Since I said so, I had no choice but to go down at the beginning of the month.
So after the three of them met for half an hour, they met in Dingyuan Building.
At that time, Ying Ruolan was also waiting patiently in the house. Xiao Xiao was anxious and went out to look out from time to time.
As the sun sets, I finally see the figure of the beginning of the month.
"Miss!" Seeing the figure at the beginning of the month, Xiao Xiao was excited, "Miss is back!" Madame, Mademoiselle is back! She shouted as she ran towards the house.
When Ying Ruolan heard this, her eyes were filled with joy, and she got up and went out of the door, not forgetting to tell Aunt Gui to make a basin of water.
"Yue'er, you're back! What do you think? When he got to the door, he took the moon by the hand and asked carefully.
The moon smiled and said, "It's okay, I tried my best." The rest is up to luck. ”
"Hey, it's fine. Just do your best. Wait-" Seeing that the moon was about to enter through the door, she stopped it and shouted into the door, "Aunt Gui, are you okay?" ”
"Alright, alright." Aunt Gui's response came from the house, and after a while, I saw her come out with a basin of water, and there was a locust branch soaked in it. Then he put the basin in front of the beginning of the month.
"Okay, Yue'er stepped over, and she passed the dragon gate and was on the list." At this time, Ying Ruolan signaled that she could cross the basin.
When I saw this at the beginning of the month, I couldn't help but laugh. That's a lot of rules.
"Mother, Yun Xiang said that he had a small banquet in Dingyuan Building, and he may not be able to eat at home tonight." After entering the house, she spoke.
Ying Ruolan didn't care, "Okay, it's not in the way, then you can go." But you have to eat that yuan to leave. It seems that after the first day of the first month, her heart has relaxed a lot.
"Oh, okay." As she spoke, she went back to her room to freshen up.
After eating Yuanzi, at the beginning of the month, he took Xiaoxiao and Qingdai to Dingyuan Tower.
Dingyuan Building was originally an ordinary small restaurant in Anyang City. It is said that during the Chengsheng year, a down-and-out candidate who encountered bandits on the way to the exam came. Fortunately, the shopkeeper funded a meal, and then won the first Dingyuan, so he gave a thousand gold to renovate the current big restaurant, and renamed Dingyuan Building.
Such a legend, coupled with such a good name, makes it so that after the end of autumn every year, there are many candidates who go to the restaurant to celebrate the banquet in order to get a lottery. However, because it is too famous, it is often not booked. This time, I borrowed the name of Yunxiang to come to this restaurant for a gathering.
When I arrived at Dingyuan Building, I reported the name of Yunfu, and the guy was familiar with the way and took the moon to a private room on the second floor.
"It's finally here, you're the slowest." As soon as I entered the door, I heard Yun Xiang's voice. At the beginning of the month, Nahan raised his eyes and looked, but he didn't expect that Su Yunli had already arrived. When I came in at the beginning of the month, I smiled at her, but I didn't know it very well, and this smile was still a little shy.
"Yunxiang, Miss Su." The moon nodded.
"Don't call me Miss Su, just call me Yunli." Su Yunli smiled and waved his hand.
"Okay, you two don't pretend to be polite anymore, sit down at the beginning of the month, I'm dying of hunger." Yun Xiang shouted, urging the guy to serve the food.
In a few moments, the food is served and the wine is accompanied.
At the beginning, the two were still a little polite, but with Yun Xiang here, and after a few glasses of wine, they also opened their hearts and talked with each other. Because of their similar conduct and happy conversations, their good impression of Yunli at the beginning of the month rose a few points.
This reminded her of the marriage contract with Xu Shiheng, fortunately, her heart was not here, if she and Xu Shiheng were really happy, I was afraid that she could only retreat, not to mention the illustrious family background, such a gentle and elegant young lady, even as a woman, she couldn't help but fall in love with herself, let alone a man.
Before I knew it, I talked about this application. Yun Xiang suddenly snickered: "Hehe, Yunli, if you really win this time, that guy Shangying should always be impressed by you, right?" ”
Yunli lowered his head slightly, but he could still see that joy in his eyes.
Sang-young?! On the first day of the first month, he was stunned, "Yunxiang, who is that Shangying you are talking about?" ”
"It's Xuanwu Gong, the son of General Shang Yi. How? You don't know? Yun Xiang said in surprise.
