Su Shi kept looking at Sima Tang's actions with a smile, and only when they walked away did he smile to himself: "No matter how amazing a man is, when he meets the woman he likes, he has changed his appearance, this Sima Tang is really an infatuated species!" ”

Su San, who was standing next to him, listened to Su Shi's words word for word, and couldn't help but smile, his smile was as quiet and beautiful as the bluegrass in the secluded valley.

Sima Tang led Zhi Zhao to a carriage with a curtain hanging down, and said hello: "Assistant Teacher Xie, Zhe Zhao, the capital of the Zhenwu Army, personally led the army to greet us, and now he is outside the carriage. ”

Zhi Zhao bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, assistant teacher, the student Zhi Zhao came to greet him." ”

This assistant teacher Xie is the assistant teacher of Zhe Zhao when he was in Guozijian, and he can be regarded as teaching her knowledge, so Zhe Zhao is still very respectful to him in his words.

After a while, Assistant Teacher Xie's voice sounded weakly: "Oh, it's Zhezhao, the old man is unwell, so he won't come out to see him, let's rush to Fugu County as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, Zhe Zhao's willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart.

Speaking of which, she, the governor of the Zhenwu Army, is also from the position of the third grade, and the assistant diocese of the Guozijian is from the sixth grade, and there is really a world of difference between the two.

Although Assistant Teacher Xie can barely be regarded as her teacher, he didn't even show his face in the face of her greetings like this, which is really a little too much.

However, Zhi Zhao is also broad-minded, and he will not be entangled in this, but when Assistant Teacher Xie is body is very unwell, he said: "Okay, the student will escort Assistant Teacher Xie into the city." ”

After that, she smiled at Sima Tang again and said, "Brother Sima, let's go, when we enter the city, I will introduce my husband to you." ”

Hearing this, Sima Tang's expression froze, and a little imperceptible yin owl flashed in his eyes, and he smiled a little uncomfortably: "Okay, let's go." ”

As night fell, a grand banquet kicked off in the main hall of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Zhenwu Army.

In addition to Zhi Zhao and Cui Wenqing, the banquet was Guozijian Xie Assistant Teacher, Sima Tang, Su Shi, Tong Qing, Xiao Zhongliang five guests, and Su Shi's handsome scholar Su San came with him, in Su Shi's own words, to let this little scholar enter to see.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce you below." Zhi Zhao smiled lightly, rarely took Cui Wenqing's hand, and said with a smile, "This is Cui Wenqing, the husband of the next, speaking of which, he also participated in the imperial examination in the same year as Brother Sima and Brother Su." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhi Zhao pulled Cui Wenqing to an old man in his fifties, dressed in a Confucian robe, with gray hair, and introduced with a smile: "Husband, this respected elder is my assistant teacher Xie Qingfeng when I was in Guozijian. ”

Cui Wenqing smiled and arched his hand: "Under Cui Wenqing, I have seen Assistant Teacher Xie." ”

"Hmm." Assistant Teacher Xie nodded reservedly, and said in a nasal voice, but there was not a single superfluous word, and his expression and demeanor were full of a bit of learned arrogance.

Seeing this, Zhi Zhaodai's eyebrows frowned slightly, a little unhappiness rose in her heart, and she didn't say too much to greet, and introduced the handsome man standing next to Cui Wenqing and said, "Husband, this one is my classmate and friend Sima Tang." ”

After listening to Tong Qing's words that day, Cui Wenqing had already taken Sima Tang to heart, and looked at the man in front of him, but saw that he was handsome, and his standard Chinese face was full of arrogance, and he was extraordinary at first glance.

Cui Wenqing smiled slightly, and said: "Under Cui Wenqing, I have admired the name of Sima Gongzi for a long time, and I am really pleased to see him today." ”

The corners of Sima Tang's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he also arched his hand: "I didn't expect that I was in the same department as Cui Gongzi, and it was indeed very fateful, I have always been very curious about what kind of character can become Ah Zhao's husband, and today I finally witnessed Cui Gongzi's true face." ”

Cui Wenqing's eyes flashed, and he asked with a slight smile: "I see, then I don't know if Brother Sima thinks he is worthy of my wife?" ”

This remark was half joking and half serious, which immediately made the atmosphere stiffen slightly, Sima Tang's smile froze slightly, and then replied calmly as usual: "If it is according to the Zhe Zhao I know, Brother Cui is afraid that it will be difficult to match her, but I don't understand what Ah Zhao thinks, and it is inconvenient to comment if it is not compatible." ”

When Zhi Zhao heard this, he felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little wrong, and hurriedly smiled and said: "As the saying goes, turnips and cabbages have their own love, and only you can understand whether you match them or not, husband, why do you need to ask for other people's opinions?" ”

The sentence "others" suddenly made Cui Wenqing and Sima Tang stunned at the same time, and in an instant, a trace of coldness flashed in Sima Tang's eyes, obviously stimulated by Zhe Zhao commenting on himself with such an estranged title as others.

Cui Wenqing suddenly smiled and said, "What the lady said is right, she is worried about her husband, sorry, sorry." ”

Zhi Zhao smiled, gave Cui Wenqing a reminding look, and came to another man in red.

This person is Su Shi, and when he saw that Zhi Zhao was about to open his mouth, he immediately shook his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, I will introduce myself next, why bother to fold the metropolitan governor." After that, he arched his hand to Cui Wenqing and said, "In Xia Su Shi, who is also a classmate of the Governor of Zheda, I have to see Cui Gongzi today and see the teaching." ”

Seeing the legendary Su Dongpo, Cui Wenqing's eyes couldn't help but light up, his smile became even more sincere, and he said enthusiastically: "I have heard the name of Su Gongzi early in the morning, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today, I have admired it for a long time, and I hope to give me more advice in the future." ”

Su Shi obviously felt that Cui Wenqing's attitude towards him was obviously different from that of Assistant Teacher Xie and Sima Tang, and when he was secretly wondering, he smiled and said: "Brother Cui is polite, in fact, I am very interested in the national debt and welfare lottery proposed by Cui Gongzi, and I want to trouble Brother Cui to explain it to me in detail when the time comes." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded and smiled: "No problem." ”

After a brief introduction and greetings, several people sat down as guests and hosts.

As the host, Zhe Zhao sat in the first case in the east, and in order to show respect for the teacher, he arranged for Assistant Teacher Xie to sit next to her, located in the first case in the west.

followed by Cui Wenqing in the second case in the east, and Sima Tang in the second case in the west.

After that, Tong Qing in the east and Su Shi in the west, and the little scholar Su San stood behind Su Shi.

The last case is Xiao Zhongliang, a student of Assistant Teacher Xie.

Zhi Zhao took the lead in holding up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Today, Fuzhou and Zhenwu Army are fortunate to meet Assistant Teacher Xie and Brother Sima and Brother Su. After finishing speaking, he took the wine glass and bowed his hand slightly, raised his head and drank it all.

Seeing Zhe Zhao drinking a cup, everyone was naturally not far behind, except for the fruit wine that Assistant Teacher Xie was not good at drinking, the rest of the people all raised their heads in the cup and drank the Jiannan Burning Spring in the cup.
