80, Tanhualang

At the first banquet of Jinshi Apricot Garden, the two of them were sent to explore the flowers, and they rode horses all over the famous garden to fold flowers. So some people made a high-spirited famous sentence like "the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day".

Tanhualang has always been more eye-catching than talent, as if only a beautiful young man is worthy of folding the branches and delicate flowers, so as to live up to the beautiful talk in the world.

Tan Miaofan couldn't figure out whether Jun Jiuding's ranking was to appreciate him or humiliate him.

The trip to the Western Regions failed, and Tan Miaofan hurriedly went to the Ministry of Rites with the annunciation to confirm, and then Qianqian beckoned everyone to move the luggage back.

Xiaohe sighed: "Hey-I can't win when I'm full of hope, I don't have hope, but I hit again, God is bent on playing tricks on people!" ”

Ah Piao laughed: "This is called intentionally planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows." Ouch, it's terrible, the little monk will be a big official in the future! ”

Xiaohe held his face in surprise: "Ah! We can also follow the naked, and the girl, maybe in the future, I will be crowned a lady. ”

At this time, they all looked at Qianqian, but they saw that she was staring and worried.

"You're not happy?" Little Lotus tugged at her sleeve.

Qianqian came back to his senses after a long time, and said with emotion: "The little monk is so stupid, it is small to be bullied and excluded as an official, I am afraid that he will offend people and lose his life." ”

Xiaohe disagreed: "Isn't it you!" You can help him with anything. ”

Qianqian shook her head weakly and didn't speak.

"Seon is not blessed." Uncle Lu walked over slowly and patted Qianqian on the shoulder, "Sometimes what seems bad is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

Qianqian said angrily: "What seems to be a good thing is not necessarily a good thing, just like he won the Tanhua." ”

"That's exactly what you think is a bad thing." Uncle Lu stroked his beard and smiled, "If you think too much, it will become a worry, let it be." ”

At night, Miao Fan came back from the Ministry of Rites, tired and tired.

Qianqian didn't ask anything, knowing that he had already eaten, so she thoughtfully waited for him to change his clothes and wash, which made him look sideways frequently.

She pretended not to know that he was looking at herself, and after cleaning up casually, she said casually: "If you are tired, go to sleep." ”

"Lady." Miao Fan took her hand with a worried expression, "Are you angry?" ”

"Nope."

He had already understood her duplicity, tightened his palms more and more, and said stubbornly: "You are just angry." ”

Qian Qianle turned around and sat down next to him: "Then you should tell me, why am I angry about Lu?" ”

"This ......" Miao Fan scratched her head, thinking about it for a long time, and she didn't know where she had "offended" her, "I don't know what she did, but you are unhappy, I can see it." ”

"Stupid." She pointed a finger at his eyebrows, as if sighing angrily, "You are so stupid, a word of reproach was written on the test paper, not only did he not punish you, but let you do Tanhua, what is his plan?" Do you settle accounts after the fall? Take 10,000 steps back, even if he lets you go magnanimously this time, what about you provoke him next time? The emperor is like a tiger, the emperor is the most ruthless, I am really afraid that you will follow in the footsteps of Gemi. ”

She's not angry, she's just worried.

"Don't be afraid, Qianqian." He smiled slightly and comforted, "Maybe I don't know Ah Jiu, but since Mr. Ge is willing to take him as an apprentice, then he must not be a heinous person." I saw that he was just trying to figure out why he wanted to execute Mr. Ge, whether it was hard or had to be, I wanted to hear an explanation, or rather, to get an explanation for Mr. Ge. ”

She leaned on his shoulder: "What about after you get it?" ”

"Others say that being an official is the glory of the ancestors, but I don't know my birth and family, so the glory lintel is not needed, if you talk about ideals and aspirations and benefit the people, I think spreading Buddhism to all sentient beings has the same effect." He smiled and hugged her shoulder, "So I really don't want to be an official, when I can talk to Ah Jiu, I ask about the matter, I will resign from my official position and take you to Khotan to have a look." Provided, of course, that you agree. ”

She hugged him: "Of course I agree!" In the past, I wanted you to get ahead, saying that it was for your own good, but in fact, you have your own vain selfishness, but now I have figured it out, as long as you are safe and sound, it doesn't matter if you are an official or not. ”

He hugged her into his arms and said seriously: "The lady's Zen Tao has improved a lot, and now she understands the truth that money is something outside the body." ”

She sneered and punched him: "Idiot! ”

From the advance to the second, all the Jinshi on the list want to pay for a banquet, and then select the two youngest and handsome as "flower explorers", visit the famous garden of the Beijing Division, and return with flowers. This is how the name Tanhualang came from, and gradually the habit of feasting was passed down and became a tradition, or rule. And such a feast is still called the "Flower Exploration Feast".

Tan Miaofan was in the flower exploration, and it was inevitable to go to the banquet, and the other two of Dingjia should also attend this time. The champion is a little-known son of a poor family, but the leader is Zhou Tao.

Zhou Xiaogongzi has been in full swing recently, he is a top star, Miao Fan is Tanhua, and there is no better result than this! If he is the champion and is forcibly separated from Miao Fanzhong, then he has lost his closeness, and the feeling is far less subtle than it is now. Therefore, he is extremely satisfied with his current ranking, and he also actively promotes the flower exploration banquet, and has an excuse to see Tan Gongzi, how beautiful!

In addition to the new science and technology scholars, the Tanhua banquet also invited several ministers of the DPRK and China, Zhan Liantai was one of them, because Zhou Tao was a student he cultivated. In addition, Kong Xiang and Wei Shilang also went to the banquet because of Zhou Xiang's face.

When Miao Fan arrived at the apricot garden, it was already late, he passed by a person when he stepped into the gate, and seemed to feel familiar, and he just wanted to see it clearly, but he had already grabbed his arm by the sharp-eyed Jinshi, and warmly invited him to go in together.

Zhou Tao was surrounded by the stars in the middle, and those who knew and didn't know came to congratulate him, he coped exquisitely in all directions, and caught a glimpse of the figure that appeared under the arch, and immediately left everyone to greet him.

"Tan Gongzi!"

Miao Fan heard someone shouting to him, raised his eyes to Zhou Tao's bright smile, and suddenly remembered what Qianqian had said. I saw that his face changed slightly, he hurriedly took a step back, clasped his hands in front of him, and arched his hand towards Zhou Tao: "Zhou Gongzi." ”

I can't wait to be 108,000 miles away from him.

Zhou Tao paused and said with a smile: "What else do you and I have to see!" ”

It was as if the two had a very good personal relationship.

Miao Fan couldn't laugh, and looked at him with a wooden face: "There should be no less etiquette." ”

Probably accustomed to Miao Fan's coldness, Zhou Tao did not have the slightest disgrace, and continued to greet Miao Fan warmly: "Come on, come on, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time, let's take the seat." As soon as he spoke, many people echoed, so Miao Fan walked into the banquet hall surrounded by everyone.

Zhou Tao happily walked side by side with Miao Fan, turned his head to look at him, but saw that his eyebrows were slightly frowning and his shoulders were stiff, as if he was very uncomfortable. Zhou Tao tried to get close to him slowly, and just wanted to put his hand on his shoulder to speak, Miao Fan jumped away as if he was being burned by fire, looking back vigilantly.

Zhou Tao's hand didn't have time to be withdrawn, he was stunned and embarrassed, he opened his mouth but didn't say a word, he snorted coldly and turned his face away, and his ears were red. Miao Fan was also silent, and had no intention of making amends.

Zhan Liantai, who was already sitting on the main seat, saw this scene and took the initiative to speak out to resolve the embarrassment.

"Tao'er, come here." Zhan Liantai called Zhou Tao to sit on the left, and shouted Miao Fan, "Tan Gongzi sit there." Yan Bi pointed to the position of his right hand.

Miao Fan sat down and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded gratefully at Zhan Liantai. Zhan Liantai smiled slightly, didn't say much, and then looked around, and then asked, "Why don't you see the new champion?" ”

Some people said that the champion of the new department came and left, and the rest of the jinshi were very surprised, and they talked about it one after another, and Miao Fan saw that everyone was gossiping, and he only heard words such as "arrogant" and "ignorant of lifting". However, he doesn't seem to know who the champion of the road is, since he doesn't know him, there is no need to talk about it, not to mention criticizing others for being ungentlemanly, so he kept silent.

Seeing this, Zhan Liantai raised his hand and pressed it: "Okay, the champion is about to have something important, you don't have to worry about it." Today is the banquet of the new science and technology, the spring is beautiful, let's talk about poetry and wine to be elegant. Any kind of words that come out of such an elegant mouth will look particularly good, so the jinshi no longer talk about the champions who have left the table, but raise their wine glasses and toast to several adults.

After drinking, someone suggested that a flower explorer should be sent to fold flowers for everyone, and the rest of them immediately echoed and applauded.

Zhan Liantai looked at Miao Fan with a smile: "This is naturally Tanhualang's errand, I don't know what Tan Gongzi wants?" ”

Miao Fan thought for a while, nodded and said, "But according to the orders of the adults." ”

"Limited to one stick of incense, please Tanhualang fold flowers for everyone here, and you can't duplicate them, otherwise you will be punished." Zhan Liantai asked Miao Fan to fold flowers, but he didn't let the others be idle, and pointed to the Jinshi and said, "You will write a poem with the title of 'Exploring Flowers', which is also limited to a stick of incense, and if you can't do it, you will be punished." ”

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were presented, and the scholars raised their pens one after another, Zhan Liantai looked back at Miao Fan, and urged: "Still not moving?" ”

Miao Fan said: "I am counting how many Jinshi and how many flowers should be folded." ”

Zhan Liantai smiled and shook his head helplessly: "Why are you so solid-eyed...... The incense is lit, and you're afraid you'll lose. ”

After Miao Fan finished counting, he knew in his heart, and hurriedly walked out of the apricot garden, where someone was already leading the horse. He stepped on the stirrup and got on the horse, and before he could move, he heard someone shouting "Slow" behind him.

Zhou Tao actually chased him out, he seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, his face was red and his eyes were hazy. He also called for someone to lead the horse, and after sitting on it, he dragged the reins of the horse and said to Miao Fan: "I'll go with you." ”

Miao Fan subconsciously refused: "No." ”

"Why not! Do you know where you can pick flowers and where you can't? Or do you find dozens of different varieties of flowers? Even if you can find it, you can come back within a stick of incense?! Zhou Tao didn't come to one place, puffed out his cheeks and glared at him, "I know that there is a place in Lu Dao, come with me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Tao whipped his mount, and the horse galloped out of the horse like an arrow off the string, Miao Fan was stunned, so he had to ride his horse to follow.

In the apricot garden, just as the Jinshi were immersed in poetry, Zhan Liantai invited Kong Xiang to go around.

"Seeing that Master Kong has been full of spring breeze recently, is there any happy event?" Zhan Liantai tore off a branch of apricot blossom and asked Kong Xiang with a smile.

Kong Xiang smiled and waved his hand: "Where is there a happy event!" It's just that seeing the bright spring and the flowers flourishing, I can't help but feel happy. ”

"It's really good." Zhan Liantai looked at the group of people in the flower hall from afar, "The future is terrifying, and the court will rely on them in the future." ”

Kong Xiang hurriedly denied: "Lord Zhan is too humble, you are in the prime of life, you are the mainstay of the imperial court, where is that group of hairy boys comparable." ”

Zhan Liantai shook his head: "There are many talents among today's scholars, just like that champion Lang, what is Chang ...... called?"

"Chang Yanyang." Kong Xiang said it immediately, "Jiangzhou Qiuyu is the first place, and he is the leader of the high school at this time, which is really powerful." ”

Zhan Liantai said: "Yes, yes, it's Chang Yanyang." I originally thought that the champion was in Zhou Xiaogongzi's bag, but who knew that it would end up in another family, alas-" Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and leaned closer to Kong Xiang's ear and said, "It's not a secret, I also expect to make a windfall by relying on the imperial examination to make people bet...... As a result, I lost so much that I almost lost the coffin! Master Kong, you say that I am not at a loss. ”

In the major gambling houses in Beijing, it is common to gamble on the imperial examination, and Kong Xiang is not surprised. He comforted when he heard this: "The casino is like a battlefield, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, look at the opening point, and there will be a chance to turn over next time." ”

"I don't dare to have a next time, I'm afraid of losing. If you can predict the prophet, why will you end up like this! Zhan Liantai sighed for a long time, talked about his bad luck, and suddenly asked, "I wonder if Master Kong has gambled?" ”

Kong Xiang was slightly stunned, didn't answer for a while, and inadvertently showed a complacent expression. When Zhan Liantai saw it, he exclaimed: "Could it be that you ......"

Kong Xiang hurriedly nodded, intercepted the second half of his words, and said modestly: "I don't make much, a few pieces of silver." ”

"Oops, congratulations." Zhan Liantai arched his hand and asked for advice very humbly, "Are you optimistic about Chang Yanyang from the beginning?" Then you are really discerning! ”

Kong Xiang licked his lips, a little proud, he hesitated for a while, but he couldn't help but tell the secret: "Brother Zhan, I won't hide it from you, in fact, I was instructed by a master, this person is really the reincarnation of the Daluo Immortal, and he can predict the future!" ”

Zhan Liantai was very curious, and got to the bottom of it: "Oh? There are such strange people! I don't know who the master's surname is? ”

Kong Xiang said with a smile: "You also know the Tao of this person, that is, you know the half-immortal." ”

The author has something to say: Uncle is back, back! This is a brand new wine uncle, strong and brave, and the days of spring and night are about to begin! \(^o^)/~

When I think of the holidays, I can't help but turn into a wolf! Whew~~~
