After quickly going through these details in his mind, Xu You's face was silent, and he didn't seem to be seduced by the big cake drawn by Yuan Jie, but showed an indifferent smile, and said: "If you want to do what Yuan Gong said, I'm afraid that just the two words "play the sea" are not enough......

Yuan Jie's eyes flashed with appreciation, to be able to stay sober in front of such a huge fame and fortune, not to mention a young man who has nothing to do, even a wise man who has been in the world for a long time may not be able to stick to his heart and remain unmoved.

He gently pounded his calf, which was a little sore, and said, "Shichiro is really smart!" The plaque of the Xihai Pavilion is just a medicine guide, if you want to make celebrities and gentlemen rush to it, you have to ask Shichiro to prescribe another prescription! ”

"Prescription? What is the prescription? ”

Yuan Jie replied to the question and said, "How is Qilang's article?" ”

Xu You instantly understood that Yuan Jie actually wanted him to write an article for Xihai Pavilion, although there are countless masterpieces of later generations to learn from in his chest and abdomen, but today's edge has been revealed enough, full of tricks to benefit from the loss of Qian, too much, and said: "It's just that the literature and science are rough, not even half a point of brilliance, and it can't be on the stage at all." ”

"Why should Shichiro be too humble?" Yuan Jie seemed to be unconvinced, and frowned: "In the final analysis, this matter is still for the sake of Qilang's future, so you shirk it like this, are you afraid that I will take advantage of you?" ”

It's really hard to say who benefits more in this game, the difference is only that Yuan Jie gets the immediate benefits, while Xu You gets the benefits in the future. As the saying goes, everyone is really good, so for him, he is actually optimistic, and said with a wry smile: "Yuan Gong's words are serious!" In this way, the article can't be done for a while, but a poem is given, please Yuan Gong evaluate! ”

Then without waiting for Yuan Jie's answer, he casually chanted: "The mountain is high and passes through the immortals, the pavilion is deep here, and the cranes go from afar, and the high feelings are idle." Go to Bo to pick up Wei and return to the boat to sail Chu. Yuan Gong is so generous that he can't sleep at night! ”

The first couplet of this poem is written in the Haiting, the jaw couplet sublimates the artistic conception, and the neck couplet describes the grand scene from the Wei State to the Chu State, where everyone is vying to come to play, using exaggerated techniques, and at the end of the couplet, praising Yuan Jie's generosity and hospitality as the host, which is Xu You's habitual pat. At this time, the style of poetry had just evolved from four words to five words, without a certain rhythm, no limit on length, no plainness, and the use of rhyme was quite free. Because it is not only different from the lyrics of Yuefu in the Han Dynasty, but also different from the near-style poems and quatrains of the Tang Dynasty, this limerick poem that he recked nonsense has a common name in this era: five-character ancient poems!

Yuan Jie's brows soothed, and said: "Cao Zijian became a poem in seven steps, and was praised as a talented person, and I think Qilang is not inferior at all, it is rare to be able to make such a poem in a hurry!" ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to stay in the house for one night, and wait for tomorrow morning, I will order someone to write another "The Story of the Sea Pavilion", and then bother Qilang to write a handwritten copy, okay?" ”

Xu You laughed secretly in his belly, presumably Yuan Jie listened to this limerick poem, and he didn't have any hope for his literary talent, he was so happy, and said respectfully: "You dare not obey your fate?" ”

The discussion was decided, Yuan Jie was sleepy, and instructed Feng Tong to arrange Xu You to rest in the guest room. The two walked side by side, and along the way, they saw the slaves of the Yuan Mansion coming in and out in an orderly manner, handing over in a whisper if there was something, and bowing their heads when they had nothing to do, and the huge manor could not hear a little noise in their ears, Xu You sighed: "Seeing the slight knowledge, even the slaves know the etiquette like this, it must be the work of Steward Feng's proper discipline." ”

At this time, the two walked to an arch, Feng Tong's face was pale, and just about to reply, a maid wearing cyan silk pants suddenly ran in from the other side of the door and hit Xu You's shoulder.

Xu You's current body is not weak, but it is really weak and weak, and when he was hit by her, he took three steps back. Feng Tong stood at the back, hurriedly supported him, and was furious in his heart, just said that he had disciplined well, and he came out such a daredevil, did he dismantle the stage like this? was about to point at the maid and scold, but when the words came to his mouth, his face changed slightly, but he swallowed it back.

The maid didn't seem to be flustered, her black eyes swirled on Xu You's face, her delicate eyebrows were full of cleverness, and she pursed her lips and said, "You didn't hurt Lang Jun, did you?" The maid was just in a hurry, and he didn't hear anyone here, so he ran in a hurry, please forgive Lang Jun! ”

Her voice was light and smart, like a bird chirping in the forest, which made people feel happy when they heard it, Xu You naturally didn't mind, and smiled: "It's okay!" ”

According to common sense, the maid should tie her hands at this time, bow down to the side of the road, and then send Xu You and Feng Tong away before she can do her own thing. But this maid didn't know if it was deliberate, or if she really didn't know how to be polite, and after listening to Xu You's words, she still stared at his face, not knowing what shyness was.

Xu You turned a blind eye and said to Feng Tong: "Let's go!" ”

"Lang Jun first, please, I'll come later!"

Xu You nodded, walked slowly, crossed the arch, and walked along the winding path to the bamboo forest not far away. After a while, Feng Tong caught up and looked at Xu You and stopped talking.

Xu You smiled: "That little maid just now is the person next to Sanniang, right?" ”

"Lang Jun guessed?" Feng Tong sighed and said, "All the slaves and maids in the mansion, including the other Langjun and the lady's people, I have all the control. But it's the two girls around Sanniang, who are spoiled by her too much, crazy and lawless, and even I can't ......"

Yuan Jie has four sons and three daughters, and Yuan Qingqi ranks third, so Feng Tong has this to say.

Xu Youqi said: "I heard that Yuan Gong governs the family with famous etiquette, and the rules are extremely strict, can he still tolerate such a thing?" ”

Feng Tong sighed again and said, "It's not because of Sanniang...... Uh, look at my mouth, talking nonsense endlessly, and I didn't even pay attention to hearing Lin Yazhu. Lang Jun, you will rest here tonight, if you need anything, just order the servants who are waiting. ”

Listening to Feng Tong's words, it seems that Sanniang has some secrets, but the divorce letter has been written, and Xu You has nothing to do with this woman, so he has no intention of exploring, and said: "I know, please ask Steward Feng to send someone to send the autumn equinox...... Also, can you invite the left army to come over for a while? ”

Left Side? Hmph, it's not that you mentioned it and I almost forgot, you treated me disrespectfully along the way, and sooner or later you have to put him in order! Feng Tong acted as a reason: "Except for the three hundred guards of the Qugongwei Mansion, most of the other ministries live outside the mansion. It's not too early, it's inconvenient to get in and out, if there is nothing important, it's better to wait until tomorrow, and then I will arrange for Zuo Yan to come and see Lang Jun. ”

"I have to meet with Yuan Gong tomorrow, I'm afraid I don't have time." Xu You's tone became a little low, and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that about those sergeants who died in battle, I have always been uneasy in my heart, and I want to ask Zuo Junhou to come and discuss, how to make a statement for me to show a little bit of heart." If I don't do this well, I guess it will be difficult to sleep tonight, of course, it's nothing if I don't sleep, I'm afraid that tomorrow I won't be in good spirits and miss Yuan Gong's business......"

Feng Tong coughed dryly and said, "Lang Jun will rest for a while, and I'll arrange it." Come! ”

Eight beautiful maids walked out in response, divided into two rows, knelt on their knees, and called Lang Jun softly in their mouths. Feng Tong explained to them, and then turned to leave. Xu You was in the country of Zhongxiang, but he didn't have the heart to look at it, so he asked them to get up and guard the door, lay down on the couch by himself, and exhaled comfortably.

From the beginning of leaving Yixing, he first experienced the hardship of traveling and traveling, and then was exhausted by the four arrows, and then entered Jinling City directly without rest for a night. and then there was a battle of wits and courage with Yuan Jie, if he hadn't supported it with one breath, he would have collapsed to the ground a long time ago.

I don't know how long it took, Xu You woke up from a deep sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the autumn equinox sitting in front of the couch with his hands on his cheeks, dozing off for a while, his long eyelashes combed down, lined with a fair face, looking full of innocent childishness and cuteness.

Xu You's heart floated with a trace of warmth, and he sat up quietly, wanting to carry her to the couch to rest. As soon as his hand touched the soft ribs, the autumn equinox trembled violently, his eyes opened, and his face was full of horror.

Xu You was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she must have dreamed of that bloody night again, lovingly exposed her head in her arms, stroked her hair bun, and comforted in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, this is Jinling, we are safe...... Don't be afraid ......"

The autumn equinox lay in Xu You's arms, listening to his heartbeat, for some reason, the trembling body immediately became calm, and with a calm heart, there was always a restless heart!

"What time is it?" Xu You looked out the window, it was getting late.

"At the end of the Shen period, the people from the Yuan Mansion brought food over just now, and I saw that Lang Jun was sleeping fragrantly, so I didn't alarm you!" The autumn equinox sighed, left Xu You's arms, and said, "Zuo Junhou is still waiting outside......

"Is the army here?"

Xu You said as he walked outside, sitting in front of the couch at the autumn equinox, his little face turned red for some reason, his eyes showed a little shame, he stuck out his tongue, and chased Xu You out.

Zuo Yan knelt down on the peach sheng and saw Xu You standing up hurriedly. Peach sheng is a pu mat made of peach bamboo, which is very valuable. Xu You smiled, felt very cordial, almost subconsciously about to reach out to shake hands with him, only to wake up halfway, the times are different, the etiquette is different, and he made an inviting gesture and said: "The army waits to sit down, I can't sleep, let you wait for a long time!" ”

Zuo Yan lowered his hand to the side, and waited for Xu You to take a seat, before he straightened his body, knelt down steadily, and said with a smile: "I have just arrived, Lang Jun has been working hard for a while, and he looks much better after resting for a while." ”

Xu You also smiled, chatted casually with Zuo Yan, and suddenly fell into silence again. Zuo Yan was a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what Lang Jun ordered when he came to summon him?" ”

After half a ring, Xu You's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Junhou, your future in the Yuan Mansion has come to an end!" ”
