When it comes to February, the mid-spring solar term, the red apricot is in full bloom, February is also called the apricot moon, the most grass grows and the warbler flies, the scenery is pleasant.

Quan Ce has nothing to do, so he takes his family to travel, because the Taichu Palace is located in the north of the city, and there is the royal forbidden garden, the powerful and wealthy families are happy to go to the north gate to play, the right to do otherwise, although the scenery of the north gate is many, but the traces of artificial knife chopping axe and chisel are too heavy, people come and go, there is no natural wild interest, he wants to go, is the southwest suburb of Los Angeles Yishui, there are farmhouse pastorals, there are also small bridges and ferries, the low mountain grassland is verdant, the river is green, the reed wetland, the wild fowl fly, quite charming.

The people unfolded the thick Persian blanket, arranged the couch table, and the skillful maid put the meal and fruit, like a diligent bee, took local materials, picked colorful flowers, and dotted them around, and the cooks were busy building stoves, catching pheasants, catching live fish, preparing picnic meals, and being busy and happy.

Princess Yiyang and Fleur took their personal maids, coaxing Quan Zhu and Quan Zhu's little brother and sister, to put the paper kite together, the brightly colored paper kite attracted Quan Luo's sight, and she was about to take it with her little hands.

"Giggles" Quan Luo was satisfied, held it in his hand, it was not rare and long, his small mouth pouted, he felt that this thing was very ugly and needed to be repaired, his little hands pulled a handful here, pulled a handful there, and tore it very hard.

Furao pursed her lips and smiled, she had long known that it would be like this, she looked at the paper kite that was torn into rags by her sister-in-law, her eyes flowed, and she looked at the small bridge in the distance, and there was a long jade figure leaning on the side of the bridge railing, and her Lang Jun was painting behind the easel.

Quan Zhu grinned, smiled at the sister-in-law, and carefully held his swallow paper kite, "Mother, sister-in-law, can my paper kite fly, what if it falls and hurts?" ”

"If you let it fly with your heart, it will fly very high," Princess Yiyang smiled faintly.

Unexpectedly, Quan Zhu became even more worried when he heard this, and held the paper kite in his arms, "Fly higher, but will it fall heavier?" ”

Princess Yiyang was stunned, Fu Yuan giggled, took out a cotton handkerchief from her arms, wiped the sweat stains on Quan Zhu's forehead, and said with relief, "Erlang is kind-hearted, and he is very likable...... Don't worry, God has the virtue of a good life, pity all things in the world, the paper kite flies up and flutters, when it falls, it is also gently raised, the higher you let it fly, the farther it will float out, the more it can be seen by others, like Erlang, cherish it"

Quan Zhu didn't seem to understand it, but he felt that it made sense, nodded his head hard, and made up his mind to release the paper kite high.

"Feifei" Quan Zhu didn't care about that much, in the arms of the nurse, the small body twisted hard, wanted to go to the ground, and reached out to grab the second brother's paper kite, but Quan Zhu knew his sister's temperament, and raised the paper kite high early, "Delay, don't move here, the second brother is high, and then Feifei will be given to you"

After speaking, he trotted with the paper kite, guarded by the small guy next to him, and the wind was blowing, blowing the paper kite higher and higher, until it was a little difficult to pull, Quan Zhu kept his promise, and returned to Quan Zhu with the help of the little guy, "Late, you can fly"

There was already a maid on the side handed a small silver scissors, holding the hand of the right basket, and came to the side of the rope, as soon as the maid took it away, the right basket clicked, and decisively got off the knife, and there was only a little swallow paper kite left in the sky, floating in the west and east, and after a while, it was gone.

"Giggles, second brother, I want to fly, I want to fly" Quan Zhu was happy, climbing on Quan Zhu, obsessed.

Quan Zhu watched his paper kite fly away, and was troubled by his sister, and laughed, "Wait for a while, second brother will let you go"

"Late, come to my sister-in-law, sister-in-law is flying high here" Fu Hui greeted the sister-in-law with a smile, Quan Luo's eyes lit up, and the card laughed, and ran to the sister-in-law with her little short legs excitedly.

Quan Ce hugged his chest, looked at them, the smile slowly dissipated, his mother, Princess Yiyang, wearing a thin purple cloak, roamed the grass, walked under an apricot tree, looked up, the bright red apricot blossoms on the apricot tree were scorching and blooming, but the branches were dark yellow, dry and gray, and the contrast was dazzling.

Princess Yiyang stroked the branches of the mottled thorny hands, and looked sad.

"Mother" Quan Ce called softly, picked a blooming apricot blossom, and slowly inserted it into her sideburns, "In this way, it is also very beautiful"

Princess Yiyang smiled reluctantly, and said angrily, "I'm used to making troubles, seeing that you have been busy for a long time, what have you drawn?" ”

Quan Ce tore away the big smiling face, hurriedly ran back to the small bridge, took the drawing paper, and handed it over as a treasure, "Mother, look"

Princess Rao is Yiyang has thousands of knots in her heart, and when she saw the painting of her eldest son, she couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling, stretched out her finger and poked him hard, "You are the eldest brother, such a joke sister, be careful that she will not spare you when she is older"

"Hehe, who called her young, when she grows up, it will take three or five years, and then she won't spare me" Quan Ce shook his head, very proud.

The painting is a power basket, but it is not realistic, but an imaginary work, with the golden crown of the county lord on his head, waving a scepter in his hand, his spirit is vivid, his chubby cheeks are full of wicked cunning, and the riding under him is a lively little lamb.

There are some words next to it, just look at the first sentence, this mountain is opened by me, and I know that this talented brother is not at ease.

On the second day of the second month of February, in the evening, Shangguan Wan'er's literary meeting arrived as scheduled, but the location was elegant, and it was chosen in a peony garden in Xiyuan.

Weighing the world's Shangguan to hold a literary meeting, a hundred responses, the literati come and go like clouds, the huge peony garden is bustling, there is no seat to entertain, either sit on the ground, or simply stand on the side of the road, look around, even as an onlooker, and refuse to leave.

Quan Ce doesn't need to worry about the seat, as soon as he arrived, there was a small servant who took him to the Guanfeng Pavilion of the main venue, this pavilion is quite large, enough to accommodate more than 100 people, after Quan Ce sat down, he looked around, but saw that most of them were colleagues in the DPRK and China, only a few were white-clothed scholars, Shangguan Wan'er said that it was a gathering of scholars who came to catch the examination, and it was a change of taste.

Shangguan Wan'er is the absolute protagonist of the literary society, everyone recited poems against him, chatted about the world, laughed and had fun, all revolved around Shangguan Wan'er, there was a young scholar in the seat, called Cui Xiang, who was the fourth brother of the Boling Cui family, quite talented and learned, and had many actions to please and flatter, Shangguan Wan'er also admired him very much, and said a lot of praise, these words, presumably for his road to science, are of great benefit.

Quan Ce opened his mouth twice, and his performance was mediocre, and then he kept silent, not to take the lead, and when he was bored, he observed the people around him, which was quite interesting.

Sitting next to him is a white-clothed gentleman who is standing in his old age, looking at the clothes, he is an ordinary rich man, his temperament is extremely tranquil, with a gentle smile on his face, and he is not in the limelight.

"This benevolent brother, it's polite" Quan Ce couldn't help but take the initiative to say hello.

"Quan Yushi, under the courtesy" the other party recognized him, Quan Ce's interest increased, talked, learned that this person's name is Ge Hui, a scholar of Songyang Academy, has seen him from afar, a native of the Eastern Capital, born in a merchant family, quite a family, when he was a child, because of the mourning of his grandmother, he cultivated in the temple for five years, and developed a character that is not contested with the world, but there are also sequelae, he is not much interested in women, his parents have been Zhang Luo many times, but he is always unintentional, fortunately, he is not a grandson, there are many brothers, and his parents are also left to him.

"Don't hide it from Brother Ge, I also know something about businessmen, I don't know what industry Brother Ge's family operates?" Quan Ce admired him very much and asked more.

"I'm not afraid of the right to laugh at the history, the family is in charge of the hook column" Ge Hui's face remained unchanged and said calmly.

Quan Ce choked for a moment, looked up to him, opened a brothel at home, and was able to not get close to women, it was really a legend, "I want to come to Brother Ge, you have a lot of experience in elegant things?" ”

"It's okay, I have no talent in Xia, I don't know anything about music and poetry, but I have some interest in musical instruments, all kinds of huqin, I dismantled a lot by myself, and my father always resents the loser" Ge Hui said a lot in one breath, obviously not bad at words, calm temperament, but due to cultivation.

When Quan Ce heard this, he was even more intimate, "Musical instruments? Hehe, I have a matter related to musical instruments, and after Brother Ge will try, I will bother Brother Ge"

"You don't have to, you have admired the history of the emperor for a long time, there is something but it doesn't hurt, to participate in the system, it's just idle and nothing, do it at will, if you have something to do, of course it's better" Ge Hui has his own style of learning and domineering.

When Quan Ce heard this, he laughed.
