From the sixth year of Xuanhe to the seventh year of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Yingqi actually spent it in Dengzhou.

Cheongyang Port was originally a very limited piece of seaside wasteland, but with the development of trade, it was not enough in less than two years. In the past year or two, the small village of Qingyang Port was surrounded by some restaurants and taverns run by locals for the merchants in the village. After the Qingyang Port was insufficient, the Qingyang Port Chamber of Commerce passed a resolution to remove the fence on the side of the Qingyang Port Wall, and completely turned the village into a place for bulk goods trading and the office of the Chamber of Commerce. Wang Shizhong turned a blind eye to this, and slowly Qingyang Port gradually expanded and became farther and farther away, turning from a seaside village into a port city. At first, it was mainly engaged in trade activities, but the deterioration of the living environment in the Central Plains forced many craftsmen to flee here to make a living, and gradually relied on this port city to form several handicraft bases, and by the end of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Dengzhou had already achieved both industrial and commercial industries.

In the past few months, Yang Yingqi has lived in Penglai School House on Qixia Mountain, Liu Jie has a small manor next to the school, Yang Yingqi lived here after he came, in the morning in the name of Yang Ting to the school to lecture, in the afternoon back to the manor office, life is no different from when he was in Jinmen Guanning School!

Penglai School has sufficient funds, a hard backstage, and the name of the bachelor of Wang Shizhong is very attractive to those undesirable Great Song talents. Some of the Great Song scholars were attracted by the new style of learning in the East China Sea, but they were reluctant to cross the sea to Jinmen, so many stayed in Penglai School to teach and give lectures - and these people's academic attainments were often deeper and more persistent than those who crossed the sea. Therefore, compared with the Guanning School, the new Penglai of learning is not as good as Guan Ning, and the academic path often follows Guan Ning, but the depth and completeness of the Penglai School's scholars for the second time often make the teachers and students of the Guanning School admire.

This Penglai School has become a romantic and elegant resort in Dengzhou at this time, and Wang Shizhong also often comes, and he can't help but feel uneasy when he sees Yang Yingqi Lai in Qixia Mountain. Fortunately, Yang Yingqi has been very polite to him after quelling the peasant uprising, and he has no intention of oppression and threat, and he regards himself as an idler in the mountains and fields in front of the teachers and students of Penglai Academy, and respects the king and the official courtesy of his parents, so that his psychology is slightly balanced, and the mustard for Yang Yingqi gradually dissolves.

On this day, there was a spring snow, and the two were drinking and chanting poetry, and suddenly the mountain chief of Penglai School sent students to spread the rumor: Lord Zhao Mingcheng, the governor of Laizhou, has arrived.

"Ouch, how did you forget about this!"

Wang Shizhong hurriedly went to greet him. It turned out that Zhao Mingcheng, the governor of Laizhou, came to visit yesterday, and after the two exchanged official duties, Wang Shizhong inevitably arranged for Zhao Mingcheng to take a look around, and Penglai School naturally became the first place to come. Because Zhao Mingcheng was a world-famous university scholar, the mountain chief of Penglai also arranged a lecture activity.

Wang Shizhong asked Yang Yingqi if he went together, Yang Yingqi had no impression of the name Zhao Mingcheng, and he didn't pay attention to the only Laizhou governor, and smiled and said: "I still have some things, and I will go over later." After reading the official document from Jinmen for more than half an hour, he was a little tired, and said in his heart: "It's better to go and see what Zhao Mingcheng said." ”

I asked the scholar for the location, but I saw dozens of students sitting on the clean ground, listening to a middle-aged Confucian with a clear appearance talk about the study of gold and stone. This gold and stone is a very deep and extremely rich knowledge, Yang Yingqi has learned a wide range of shallow, but he is a rich and noble person, I don't know how many Zhou Ding Han monuments have been touched, and I will naturally understand if I have touched more. At this time, after listening to a few words, I felt that Zhao Mingcheng spoke very well. After listening for more than half an hour, Zhao Mingcheng finished his established topic. Then a student stood up and asked, the first three questions Zhao Mingcheng answered into the stream, but was stumped in the fourth question, at this time a woman who had been standing next to him stepped forward, and the elegant voice was like a wisp, and the problem was solved in three or two sentences. Yang Yingqi secretly praised when he heard it: "The Great Song Dynasty is really talented, and even his daughter's family has such cultivation!" ”

After the lecture, Wang Shizhong introduced Zhao Mingcheng and Yang Yingqi to meet. Yang Yingqi does not attach importance to his position as a state governor, but admires his profound learning. Zhao Mingcheng didn't know Yang Yingqi's true identity, but as soon as the expert made a move, he knew if there was one, and he knew that Yang Yingqi was also a knowledgeable person within two sentences. The two admired each other, and then cherished each other. Yang Yingqi asked about the woman's identity again, only to know that it was Zhao Mingcheng's wife. Xin said: "It's a pity that she has been working at sea all day long, otherwise with her wisdom and wisdom, she may be able to be as elegant and elegant as this Mrs. Zhao." ”

Tea under the moon that night, happy and dispersed.

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Yingqi was reading, and Zhao Mingcheng came on a donkey again. It turned out that he was an elegant person, and the official was just a loyal officer, and his life was the sustenance of his life. Yang Yingqi said in his heart: "It's a pity that he is an official of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise he would have to be poached to teach in Guanning School or Penglai School." ”

The two walked to visit Qixia Mountain, and this time they didn't talk about gold and stone, but about poetry. Zhao Mingcheng also has extraordinary attainments here, pointing out the scenery and exporting chapters. Yang Yingqi's preference for poetry is far above that of scripture and history, and he can't make poetry himself, but he can often get three of them.

The most fortunate thing for a poet is to meet a person who understands poetry, Zhao Mingcheng is more and more happy the more he talks, and suddenly remembers something and says: "I was going back to Laizhou tomorrow, but now I have something to ask Brother Yang, and I will stay for another day tomorrow." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Don't you dare to ask for advice? I don't know what the matter is, please tell Brother Defu directly. ”

Zhao Mingcheng thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Yang Yingqi was inexplicable when he heard it, and he didn't know why he was so mysterious. Early in the morning of the second day, I saw Zhao Mingcheng holding a pile of papers, which were full of words and sentences, and said excitedly: "Brother Yang, this is a long and short sentence made by Mingcheng. Today, I am cheeky and want to borrow Brother Yang's insight to see which one is the best. ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and said: "So that's the case, I thought it was a big deal!" "Look at the ink is very new, it must have been written by him silently overnight after he returned yesterday. He read a few songs, and felt that although the words were neat, there was nothing surprising, and he was thinking about how to criticize so that it was not flattering and did not cut Zhao Mingcheng's face, and suddenly a song jumped out of many words, and Yang Yingqi's eyes couldn't let go!

Zhao Mingcheng saw that his expression was different, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Yingqi pointed to the word and said: "This poem was written by Brother Defu?" ”

When Zhao Mingcheng heard this, his face turned like earth, and he sighed: "Sure enough, I can't hide Brother Yang's eyes!" That's it! I just throw in the towel. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Admit defeat? ”

Zhao Mingcheng sighed: "This poem was not written by me, but by a clumsy handwriting. ”

Yang Yingqi exclaimed: "Mrs. Zhao! ”

"Hmm." Zhao Mingcheng said: "People in the forest of words say that her words are better than mine!" Although I also know that she is a talented woman, I am always unconvinced! I thought that because everyone saw her as a woman's family, they said that they were two points higher when they tasted it...... and then said like a deflated balloon: "Now it seems that I am indeed not as far away as her!" He shook his head and left.

Zhao Mingcheng left for a long time, Yang Yingqi came back to his senses and muttered, "It turned out to be her!" It turned out to be her ......" read the word in her hand over and over again, and she was worried in her heart: "I actually met her...... Alas, I didn't think of that! That kind of learning, that kind of temperament...... Alas...... This is the character of my Great Song, this is the romance of my Great Song! ”

What exactly does that word say?

The curtain rolls in the west wind, and people are thinner than yellow flowers......
