Zhang Qian is twenty-two years old this year, and according to Datang's algorithm, he is twenty-three. But because of his love of exercise, he was stuck in school all day long before he crossed and rarely went out, so he looked much younger than his actual age.

And that Wang Zhilian, although he has just reached the crown (twenty years old), because he likes to fight swords and horses to be a ranger, he eats and sleeps in the open, and his age looks slightly older than he actually is. Therefore, the two walked side by side all the way, like a pair of suave twins, attracting the attention of countless guests.

"Today's banquet was jointly arranged by Dr. He and Uncle Zhang. It is mainly to drink and enjoy chrysanthemums, so please sit in the garden. Kankan came to the garden, Wang Zhilian thought about it, and took the initiative to introduce: "There is no room for finesse in a hurry, so I can only follow the example of the Hu people because of their ugliness, and set up more than a dozen long tables and dozens of sets of Hu stools, so that everyone can sit at will!" If there is any inconvenience later, please forgive me with Brother Zhao! ”

"Ji Lingyan is serious, I am neighbors with Senior Zhang, so there is no need to be so polite to me!" Because of the sympathy with Wang Zhilian, the tension in Zhang Qian's heart was much less. smiled and shook his head slightly, "You can go and greet others first for a while, so as not to keep Senior Zhang busy and make the distinguished guests feel left out." ”

"That's right, Uncle Zhang has mentioned your name no less than twenty times since he saw me yesterday." Wang Zhilian is an open-minded person, and he is not more polite to Zhang Qian, just nodding with a smile, "There is a pavilion over there, and a few drunken chrysanthemums are planted nearby, the flowers are the size of a bowl, and the color is also extremely rare golden red." If Brother Zhang doesn't feel like the wind blowing, it would be convenient to sit there. ”

"Then go to the gazebo!" Zhang Qian looked up and looked around, and sure enough, not far away, he saw a wooden pavilion. There was a stone table table below, four or five stone round piers, and more than a dozen clusters of chrysanthemums were blooming nearby, so he agreed to move.

Unexpectedly, he walked less than ten meters away, and suddenly a fat man rushed over. grabbed Wang Zhilian's arm and shouted: "Okay, you Wang Jiling, you left me aside just now, where did you run away?" Everyone said that Zhang Shibo had prepared the best wine, why haven't you arranged for a servant to serve it yet?! ”

"Good wine is rare, I'll serve it to you now, and if you drink other wine later, it will be tasteless!" Wang Zhihuan slapped the back of the opponent's hand, grinning the person. "Don't make a fuss, I'll introduce you to a new friend, Zhang Yongzhao, a single name and a subtext. Dr. He and Uncle Zhang Shishu both highly respect his skills! ”

Immediately, he quickly introduced to Zhang Qian: "Brother Zhao, this person's surname is Wei, his name is Daozi, and he is a descendant of Shandong Wei's family. His father, like my father, is also Uncle Zhang's deceased! ”

"Zhang Yongzhao in the river, I've seen Brother Gangjing!" Finally saw a nameless person, Zhang Qianti's heart in his throat quietly fell back into his stomach, and calmly surrendered to the guard.

"You are the immortal master Zhang who brings people back to life with an elixir?" That Wei Dao is not as calm as Zhang Qian. Quickly took half a step back, looked Zhang Qian up and down, and returned the salute, "I have admired the name for a long time, and when I see it today, I really don't look like ordinary people." ”

"Brother Gangjing has won the award!" Zhang Qian was praised by Wei Dao so much that he didn't feel awkward in any part of his body, and quickly explained with a smile, "Rumors are usually untrue, I just brought two medicines from the teacher, and they just happened to be used on my friend's father." That medicine wasn't an elixir at all, and I had never practiced any magic arts! ”

"I see, I'll just say, in broad daylight, where did so many gods and ghosts come from?!" Na Wei Dao was a self-acquaintance, and immediately laughed and shook his head, "Brother Zhao came just in time, I just argued with Bo Gao and Zi Shou, whether the matter of immortals can be trusted." You're just here to prove it! ”

As he spoke, he was about to pull Zhang Qian's arm. Zhang Qian hurriedly escaped a few steps, smiled and waved his hand, "Gangjing, Brother Gangjing forgive me." The younger brother has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the heroes such as Bo Gao and Zishou who you said. It's rude to argue with them as soon as you're seated! ”

"That's just as well!" Wei Dao pulled a void and immediately realized his recklessness. He scratched the head on his head and smiled and invited, "Then let them go first." Ji Ling, hurry up and arrange for the servants to serve good wine! Let me see what kind of elixir is the wine that Dr. He is full of? ”

"Brother Gangjing, don't worry, and let me introduce Brother Zhao to Bo Gao and Zishou!" Where is Wang Zhilian willing to accompany this person to mess around? broke free from his pull, made an excuse and continued to take Zhang Qian to the depths of the garden, "Brother Yongzhao, please come with me." Brother Zishou was a jinshi (702) in the second year of Chang'an, and he has been released as an official. At the end of his term this year, he returned to Chang'an to accept the assessment and selection of officials. His talent is a hundred times better than that of his younger brother. The old man Zhang in the literary world said that he once praised him, and the article is like a light practice! ”

But Zhang Jiuling, who wrote "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time"? ! Zhang Qian was shocked and blurted out the words of inquiry.

'Calm, calm! As he struggled to adjust his breathing, he tried his best to cheer himself up. 'This is He Zhizhang and Zhang Ruoxu, two tycoon-level bigwigs, joining forces to entertain guests, and the guests who came, of course, could not be Bai Ding! Only then did he see a Wang Zhilian, and when he heard a Zhang Jiuling, his jaw dropped in shock. Wait a while, I don't know which big guy I'm going to meet. If you are shocked when you hear a name, when will you be shocked today? ’

He only tried to hide it, lest he be laughed at. However, Wang Zhihuan was used to seeing others hear Zhang Jiuling's name, so he was in a state of confusion. Therefore, he didn't feel anything strange about Zhang Qian's performance at all, smiled, and responded softly: "Exactly, it turns out that Brother Zhao has also heard of Brother Zishou's Mochizuki nostalgia." I thought that Brother Zhao would live in the mountains and ignore the affairs of the outside world! ”

'Not only do I know this poem of Mochizuki nostalgia, but I also know how to memorize your stork tower to my brother! Zhang Qian secretly complained in his stomach, but he tried to put on a very natural appearance on his face, and explained with a smile: "I didn't read it when I was in the mountains in my early years, but after I went out of the mountain, I happened to read a collection of poems copied by others in Renjiazhuang. When I read it, I was shocked! ”

"Yongzhao actually has the ability to never forget, admire, admire!" Wang Zhilian didn't know that Zhang Qian had memorized Tang poems and Song lyrics since he was a child, and suddenly sighed with a thumbs up for his superhuman memory.

Zhang Qian's face was so hot that he was praised, and quickly smiled and waved his hand. I was about to find an excuse to divert the topic, but I suddenly heard a string of "ding ding dong" piano sounds, like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate, and in an instant, covered all the noise around me

Instinctively, he followed the prestige, and saw a woman in a red dress and a red dress, dressed like coals, sitting next to a cluster of golden chrysanthemums not far away, playing with her hands. The gentle autumn breeze accompanied by the sound of the piano blew beside the woman, blowing her clothes and hair fluttering, like a picture scroll.

"Where you stepped on, a few red lotuses bloomed. You stand in the wind, your skirt flutters, and your hair flutters! Without warning, a famous modern poem poured into Zhang Qian's mind.

I was about to slap my hands and exclaim a few times, and then ask the name and surname of the woman who played the piano. But the voice of Wei Dao's unique male duck was already ringing in his ears, "I don't know which lucky guy took out a good poem first." actually attracted everyone to play for him in advance. Alas, it's a pity that Wei is not good at this, otherwise he ......"

Between the words, envy and jealousy are not disguised!

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the piano in the wind stopped abruptly. In the afterglow, I saw the woman in red again, grabbing a sword from her side. Nor did he use any metal utensils as mallets, he directly pulled the sword out of its scabbard, poked it into the mud around him, and played it with ten fingers with a piano sleeve in a staggered manner, "clanging", like a torrential rain.

The autumn breeze mixed with the faint fragrance of chrysanthemums instantly became cold, blowing through the body and cool.

The rhythm of the piano played the sword with his left hand and stroked the piano with his right hand, and he was unexpectedly dual-purpose, intertwining the sound of the falling bead-like piano and the sound of the sword like the torrential rain in the wind.

Zhang Qian's hands suddenly froze in mid-air. Immediately after, the cold hairs on the top and bottom of the body stood upside down.

At this moment, two servants who had arrived in a hurry worked together to erect a plank. A young scholar in a green coat threw his wine glass behind him, strode forward, grabbed a brush, and walked on the wooden board with the sound of the piano.

Every word is the size of a bucket.

Every word is like a shock, like a dragon!

Suddenly, the piano stops, the pen stops, and the autumn wind stops.

But there is a wisp of chrysanthemum fragrance faintly, lingering in the air for a long time.

"Okay-" I don't know how long it took for someone to take the lead in cheering.

In an instant, most of the garden came to life again, cheering and applauding, like thunder.

"Brother Bo Gao is so talented and blessed!" Wang Zhilian's eyes were blazing, and his envy was beyond words.

"Who should I be? It turned out that it was Zhang Xu and Zhang Bogao who moved Moxing! It's no wonder that everyone plays the piano in unison, adding color to his pen! "Looking at the Wei Dao Wei Gang Sutra again, I don't even have the strength to envy it. He shook his head a few times, then walked to the nearest table, grabbed a flask, raised his head, and swallowed the siphon.

That year, Zhang Jiuling stood at an old age.

Zhang Qian is twenty-three, Zhang Xu and Qin Lu are the same age as him, and Wang Zhilian has just passed his twentieth birthday.

That year, in the autumn wind, there were flowers, wine, and the sound of the piano.
