After the Tao brothers went out, Lan Ziyi didn't make a sound for a long time, and the silence in the house was like the Gobi Desert on a winter night outside, and the outside of the house was real and witty.

It's the first time Lan Ziyi has grown so big and scolded the Tao brothers, they have always been inseparable before, and they have never quarreled, and what Tao Zhutu said about today's matter seems to have some truth, is it really that he thinks less? But there really was no one following him that night, so how could it be said that Zhang Shoufu did it? Zhang Zhongtang Shilin is a model for the people of the world, and he will never do anything to harm others. What's more, Lan Ziyi has seen Zhang Mingyue with his own eyes, that kind of world-minded and impassioned feelings can't be disguised, Lan Ziyi can be infected by the self-sacrificing spirit exuded by Zhang Mingyue when he recalls that scene, such a great man will not do the next three things of a despicable villain.

Lan Ziyi thought about it, and when he thought about it, he fell into a deeper depression.

Cui Hao was quietly eating dinner on the side, occasionally looking at the light songs and dances of the dancing girls on the stage, and humming a couple of sentences from time to time.

One song is over, and the next song has just begun, Cui Hao suddenly clapped his hands and sang excitedly:

"The long river is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains.

Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not reach the Yumen Pass. ”

Lan Ziyi himself was in a trance, and was taken aback by this sudden singing, and couldn't help but feel palpitations and shortness of breath, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Cui Hao didn't pay attention to Lan Ziyi's embarrassed appearance, but said:

"I wonder if Wei Hou listened carefully to the music sung on the stage after he came in? They are all famous songs made by modern people and ancients. Although this quatrain was made by the ancients, it is deeply consistent with Xiaosheng's state of mind. Although Xiaosheng has not been to the outside of the Saiwai, but the scenery is just an image, the state of mind is true, the long river is far away, the ancient city cliff is such a majestic desperate situation but not the spring breeze to shine, it is a pity. ”

Lan Ziyi took a few mouthfuls of food at random, and after drinking a glass of wine, he felt that his spirit was stable, but he couldn't understand what Cui Hao meant, so he asked:

"What does Brother Cui mean?"

Cui Hao took a sip of wine and said:

"A poet composes a poem in two steps, first touching the scene, and then touching the scene. The former is to take the scenery that inevitably touches you into your heart with fate, and the latter is to write your thoughts and thoughts into scenery for others to see. The difference between the superior and the inferior poets is only the difference in the level of expression. ”

Lan Ziyi said:

"Everyone can see the beautiful scenery, everyone can touch the scenery, according to Brother Cui, everyone is a poet?"

Cui Hao nodded, shook his head again, and said:

"Yes and no. It can only be said that everyone has poetry, but not everyone can express it. Those who can express themselves are poets, and those who write well are masters. The vulgarity of this world lies in the fact that the real masters do not necessarily get the real opportunity to make the world appreciate their talents, and those who stand in positions are mostly vulgar people. Don't Wei Hou think this is unfair? ”

Lan Ziyi seemed to understand some of Cui Hao's meaning, but he was depressed in his heart and didn't have the heart to think deeply.

Cui Hao went on to say:

"We created the Jiangnan Poetry Society in order to gather talents from all over the world, and now the talents gather only to hate that there is no use, so we have to indulge in sex here every day, and talk about *** Weihou is an aspiring person, which can be seen, is Weihou willing to only make a wine bag and rice bag?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Ziyi only hopes that his skills can be put to good use."

Cui Hao let out a long sigh when he listened,

Lan Ziyi listened puzzled and asked:

"Why is Brother Cui sighing?"

Cui Hao sighed:

"Although Xiaosheng is also enthusiastic, he just doesn't have such a good opportunity as Wei Hou."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"What did Brother Cui say about this?"

Cui Hao said:

"Even if Xiaosheng wants to use all his skills, he has no chance. But Wei Hou is now close to King De, and the emperor values King De so much, Wei Hou has the opportunity to show his talents, and Xiaosheng I can only get a jade here, chanting poems, it's really enviable to think about. ”

Lan Ziyi didn't make a sound, although things have been chaotic and everything has not gone well in the past two days, he still feels a little proud when he hears this, but he vaguely seems to always feel that Cui Hao has something to say.

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Brother Cui is too modest, the members of the poetry club are all young talents, and they are the pillars of Taizheng, how can there be no chance. Ziyi was just lucky and took the first step. ”

Cui Hao laughed when he heard this, and then asked:

"Wei Hou really wants to join the Poetry Society?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Exactly. To meet friends with text, to help people, Ziyi also wants to make friends with the world's heroes, and everyone works together. ”

After hearing this, Cui Hao looked at Lan Ziyi and laughed, and after taking a sip of wine, he said:

"As I said just now, if you want to join the poetry club, you have to get everyone's consent. Please also ask Wei Hou to go back and prepare well, come up with his own proud work, as long as he can get the consent of the members of the poetry club, Wei Hou will be a member of our poetry club. ”

Lan Ziyi nodded after hearing this. After eating with Cui Hao for a while, he got up and said goodbye.

Under the leadership of the servant, Lan Ziyi walked out of the villa,

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw the Tao brothers waiting there with their horses.

The moment he saw the Tao brothers, Lan Ziyi felt as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer in his chest, and he was so stuffy that he could barely breathe.

The Tao brothers also looked embarrassed when they saw Lan Ziyi, and Tao Zhutu opened his mouth and shouted:

"Less...... Wei Hou. ”

Lan Ziyi didn't speak, walked over and got on the horse, and left first.

Seeing this, the Tao brothers didn't speak, but just rode on their horses and followed Lan Ziyi.

The four of them were silent, just bowing their heads and moving forward. The Tao brothers had no intention of talking, and quietly followed behind Lan Ziyi.

Lan Ziyi rode a horse and walked ahead, he didn't want to see the Tao brothers, but also wanted to apologize to them, and even more wanted them to apologize to themselves for what they had rashly intervened.

Thinking of these things, Lan Ziyi unconsciously urged the horse to fly fast,

At this time, it was late, and it was not clear on the road, but fortunately, the road in the capital was smooth, and there were no stones.

It's just that it's still dangerous to walk on the road at such a fast speed,

Suddenly, Lan Ziyi saw a little light in front of him, and hurriedly reined in the horse, but fortunately stopped in time before hitting the carriage and horse in front.

I saw a carriage in front of me, two riders guarding the two ends of the carriage one after the other, and when I saw someone rushing over, the rider behind me pulled his bow and pointed at Lan Ziyi, and the rider in front of the carriage also rode back.

Lan Ziyi stopped the horse, and the Tao brothers behind him also caught up, and when they saw someone pulling their bows, they immediately protected Lan Ziyi behind him.

The rider with the bow asked:

"Who's coming?"

In front of him, Tao Zhuhu had already unsheathed his waist knife and scolded:

"This is Lord Weiting Hou Lan Ziyi, you dare to block the road halfway?"

Hearing this, there was a vigorous and powerful laugh from the carriage

"I thought it was who, it turned out to be the grandson of Lan Tarzi. Put the bow down, it'll be fine. ”

The rider outside the carriage heard the command to release his bow and arrows, but instead of putting them in his pocket, he placed them in the saddle, ready to pull them up again.

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi asked:

"Dare to ask who is in the car? Recognize my grandfather? ”

At this time, a servant-like person in the car lifted the curtain, and then the lantern carried by the servant, Lan Ziyi saw an old man with white hair and a powerful face poking his head out.

Then one of the riders said:

"This is Lord Zhang Rang, the imperial lieutenant, and you can't be rude."

When Lan Ziyi heard that it was Zhang Rang, a military general who was a generation earlier than his grandfather, he hurriedly dismounted and saluted the Tao brothers.

Lan Ziyi said:

"The kid has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so he collided with the captain and asked the captain to forgive him."

Zhang Rang obviously didn't take things to heart, and said with a smile:

"Wei Hou is young and vigorous, and he still walks so fast in the middle of the night, the old man doesn't have the courage."

Lan Ziyi blushed for a moment when he heard this.

Zhang Rang then asked:

"The Weihou Mansion is outside the city? It's so late and still running outside. ”

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Back to Taiwei, Ziyi has just returned from a banquet in Shuanglong Mountain and is about to enter the city."

Zhang Rangdao:

"Now the city gate has long been closed, and the marquis can't enter."

Lan Ziyi said:

"That kid will find an inn to stay in and enter the city tomorrow."

Zhang Rang smiled and said:

"The old man's mansion is just around here, if Wei Hou doesn't dislike it, let's go to the mansion for a night."

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Don't dare to disturb the captain."

Zhang Rang smiled and said:

"What's the bother, the old man wishes that someone would come and talk to me now."

As he spoke, he pulled down the curtain and urged the driver to set off, and before the car started, Zhang Rang also said:

"Wei Hou is not allowed to refuse, come to my house tonight."

The two riders also bowed their hands at this time and said, "Please! ”

Lan Ziyi was not easy to refuse, and rode with the Tao brothers to keep up with the car.

The group walked for a while and then came to a manor.

There were already servants waiting at the door to lead the horses of several men.

After Zhang Rang got out of the car, he ordered, "Prepare rooms for a few guests." ”

And then he said:

"Please, Marquis Wei."

Lan Ziyi clenched his fists and said:

"Don't dare to have Captain Lao."

Then followed Taiwei Zhang all the way into the manor, and the group came to the lobby, and after saluting, several people sat down in the main and guest seats.

Mrs. Zhang held the tea bowl and said:

"When you meet your old acquaintances in a foreign country, a rare good thing in life, but you only meet the descendants of the ancients, which really makes people wonder whether they are happy or worried."

兰子义 says:

"The captain knows my grandfather?"

Taiwei Zhang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said:

"I know, it's the two of us who can fight in the year, the eastern army is weak and is chased by Daoyi all day long, the city gate is closed several times, the only one who can compete for military merit is me and your grandfather, but I debuted earlier than the old boy, and when he came forward to compete with me, I began to prepare for an expedition against the mountain people. Now that I think about it, it's really interesting to impeach each other for military salaries and titles or something. ”

Lan Ziyi listened to the embarrassment in his heart,

Mrs. Zhang seemed to have finally opened the conversation and said:

"I was so young and vigorous back then. It was not Zhouyuan's high mountain people in groups to invade Tianfu Road, and they went down the mountain to fight the ghost gate pass to the north, and the entire northwest and southwest of Dazheng continued to smoke, and the war was raging. Every time I see the city being bald, I am heartbroken, and I want to kill those mountain barbarians. For this reason, I went to the imperial court to request that troops and grain be stationed in Tianfu Road, so that I could climb to Buzhou Yuan and defeat the mountain people in one fell swoop. The imperial court agreed to my plan, but in this way, the military salaries of the other military towns will be less, not only the military salaries will be less, but also the manpower and materials will be transferred to the western army. Your grandfather reacted the most to this, for which we don't know how many times we have argued, and now we have a debriefing and we are still leading people to fight in the lobby of the military department, now think about it, it's good to be young. ”
