Zhou Laofuzi was the famous poet Zhou Bangyan, who was the famous poet in the capital at that time, and he presided over the poetry and literature meeting in the Rock Tower, which can be said to have attracted countless literati and ink writers.

Today is the tri-monthly 'Yuyu Fengqing' cultural meeting, and the lively Isolou on weekdays adds a bit of festivity, ordinary guests can't go on such a night, and they have long been told that they can't enter without invitation. Even if you enter, most people can only stay on the first floor, and as for the second floor, they are basically vassals and elegant students. As for the third floor, it is basically a wealthy son, a wealthy businessman, and the fourth floor is almost a stage for officials, and as for the fifth floor, which is the highest floor of the Rock Tower, it is almost a forbidden area for guests, and only a few people can enter.

On weekdays, it is strictly forbidden to enter and leave Fengyue occasions, which is almost the same as that of officials, and once the violation is impeached by the Ministry of Rites, the consequences are quite serious. Officials will have bad reviews, which will damage the reputation of officials and will have an impact on promotion. If you raise people and enter the Jinshi, it is equivalent to saying that you will be closed the door to officialdom. Only on grand festivals, or when the 'Yuyu Fengqing' cultural meeting is held, the restrictions will be lifted, which is why officials, people, and jinshi have gone one after another, of course, on the premise that they have sufficient funds and are invited. If you are shy in your pocket, then entering the Rock Tower is definitely a humiliation.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. As night fell, a large number of horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and red four-carried official sedan chairs and eight-carried official sedan chairs began to appear on the streets outside the Isolou. The water is clear, and the flat sedan is gradually increasing.

In the Great Song Dynasty, people used a variety of tools to travel, including donkey riders, horseback riders, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and of course, sedan chairs. There is a lot of knowledge about sitting in a sedan chair, and it can also be seen that there is a clear hierarchy, which is a symbol of status, which is absolutely insurmountable, otherwise it will lead to a lawsuit.

Yin red is the official sedan chair, from the third grade above the eight official sedan chairs, below the four official sedan chairs, seven products down to sit two official sedan chairs, but the seven products below the Beijing officials are basically shy, is not able to go to the Rock Tower, of course, the literary accomplishment is not up to the standard of the Rock Tower's invitation, otherwise even if it is a carriage, the ox cart still has the opportunity to enter the Rock Tower.

As for the sedan chairs with clear water, most of them were sat by literati, and as for the businessmen, they could only sit in ox carts and horse-drawn carriages, and once they sat in the sedan chair, they would have to suffer lawsuits. Even in the Great Song Dynasty, where commerce was extremely developed, the status of merchants was still not high, and there would be many restrictions on life. Travel, clothing, housing, and even concubines have extremely strict restrictions on merchants, and they are all untouchable red lines, unless your wealth reaches the level of letting the government open up the net, otherwise once crossed, the departure is quite serious.

In the past, the Rock Tower was its own men to maintain order, hundreds of men were distributed inside and outside the Rock Tower, to maintain order, to prevent people from making trouble, there are important days, such as major festivals, and 'Yuyu Fengqing' when the Wenhui, will invite the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, and the six doors of the catch to maintain order and ensure that there is no chaos. However, today seems to be different, today there is not only the forbidden army, but also the inspectors of the Imperial City Division, and all those who enter the Isolou are invited, but despite this, they have to be strictly censored.

Liu Zhenglong was invited, he and Zhao Yu, who was dressed as a man, went in a carriage together, and the two were invited by Wang Gongzi, otherwise they would not have been able to go up to the fourth floor, which shows how noble Wang Gongzi's identity is.

The identity of Wang Gongzi has always been a mystery, and Liu Zhenglong knows that there will be no answer to ask Zhao Yu, in this case, it is better to pretend to be confused. He had long heard that the twenty-eight-year-old number one in the world, Master Ji Li, was in the Rock Tower, and this time he wanted to see the peerless face.

Zhao Yu seemed to have changed to another person, and he didn't say a word along the way, and the coldness made Liu Zhenglong feel extremely uncomfortable, so that the two didn't speak until they arrived at the private room.

Although the fourth floor is a special session for officials, it is also in their respective private rooms, which are all booked in advance. At the beginning of the real cultural meeting, everyone still has to go to the hall, because the hall on the fourth floor is the main venue of the cultural meeting, and the guests on the second and third floors will accept the invitation to come to the fourth floor according to the level of their respective poems and songs at the beginning of the cultural meeting, which is basically a five-to-one invitation ratio, that is to say, the guests on the second floor and the third floor are selected from one of the five out of this ratio, if all the guests rush up to the hall on the fourth floor, it will definitely not be able to sit down.

In the box, it is obviously not Liu Zhenglong, Zhao Yu, Liu Mingjun, Cao Sheng, and Xiang Zifang have all arrived, in addition to these few people, there are four or five young people, but the most honorable lord is vacant, and it seems that it is reserved for distinguished guests.

Liu Zhenglong lowered his voice and said to Zhao Yu: "Is that main seat reserved for Wang Gongzi?" ”

"No, the person who came is more honorable, you'd better be honest, once you provoke that person, you won't have enough to cut off ten heads." This is probably the first thing Zhao Yu said to this guy after separating from Liu Zhenglong that time.

Wang Gongzi is already very noble, and the guests on the throne today are even more noble, at this time, Liu Zhenglong guessed it, it seems that it should be the prince, and the prince is present. After all, all of them are young people here, and those high-ranking officials who are over half a hundred years old will not come in.

Just when Liu Zhenglong was thinking wildly, the door of the box opened, and a very elegant and delicate young man came in, followed by four attendants. In the Rock Tower, the attendants are not allowed to go upstairs. This person's attendant actually entered the fourth floor, this kind of dignity is really wonderful and unattainable.

The crowd stood up and saluted, shouting with their mouths; "The third son is good."

The boy just waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down casually, without the slightest intention of speaking. After he sat down, everyone sat down.

The atmosphere in the room was originally depressing enough, but now that the third prince appeared, it was even more depressing, making people feel very uncomfortable, especially when he lost Liu Zhenglong, the guy who crossed over, he felt even more aggrieved and boring.

"Let's have tea, four snacks on each table." The third prince also saw that everyone was feeling restrained, and he said with a smile: "Today, I will no longer participate in the literary meeting, just take a casual look, I hope you can show your real talents." If, among all of you, one of you is qualified to go up to the fifth floor, I have a great reward. ”

The third prince took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, and he said unhurriedly: "This is the treasure of the previous dynasty, it is said that it is the former dynasty Shouwang Li Mao, as for the authenticity, there is no way to verify, it depends on whether you have this ability." Whoever gets this treasure will give him a wish. ”

Obviously, this third prince can be said to be indescribably expensive, his identity is far above the prince, he said to promise a wish, which can be said to be very precious to everyone who is doing it, it can be said that everyone is eager to try, waiting for the arrival of an important moment.

The third prince inadvertently glanced at everyone present, it can be said that everyone present knew the actions by heart, at this time, he still felt a little surprised, there was a stranger who didn't care about what he said, as if he hadn't heard it at all, which was a bit surprising.

The third prince was silent for a while and asked, "The young man sitting on the very edge, I don't know what you call it, why don't you take the things promised by this prince seriously?" ”

"Liu Zhenglong, a rough man, doesn't know poetry and songs, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to go up to the fifth floor, so I didn't pay special attention."

"That's not true, I still know you, the part you sang that day was very beautiful, and I remember one of them was, 'Listen to the breeze.'

Sigh the water and the flowers are hurting

Who's in the smoke clouds has a long piano sound. "There is definitely everyone's demeanor, if you can fill in the lyrics tonight and can reach this level, then you will definitely have a chance to go up to the fifth floor, I am optimistic about you." ”

The third prince was not on the boat at all that night, and of course it was impossible to hear Liu Zhenglong's singing, obviously he heard it afterwards, no matter what, he still recognized Liu Zhenglong's talent very much. The third prince has his own pride, and generally does not look at those so-called talents at all, but he is very respectful of the sentence who is in the smoke and clouds, and firmly believes that he can't do it, and maybe only Old Master Zhou can be compared in the world, in this case, how can he not care?

The third prince didn't know Liu Zhenglong at all, but he only had an impression after listening to Wang Gongzi's story, and when I saw him today, I really wanted to see his talent, which can be described as a hero cherishing a hero, a good man knows a good man.

Since the other party brought it up, Liu Zhenglong felt that he didn't need to hide it, so he said with a smile: "I just have the habit of liking singing, so I often write nonsense by myself, and it is difficult to wait for the elegant hall to make the third prince laugh." ”

"Then you can give you a paragraph today." The tone of the third prince is unrefusable, and he also wants to confirm whether this Liu Zhenglong is a talent.

Catching ducks on the shelves, Liu Zhenglong was not polite, he thought for a while, and then opened his mouth to sing "Blue and White Porcelain"

"The plain embryo outlines the blue and white brushstrokes, which are thick and light

The peony depicted on the bottle is just like your first makeup

Ran Ran Sandalwood through the window I know what's going on

The pen on the rice paper is now halfway aside

The glaze rendering lady picture charm is privately hidden. . . ”
