"There is such a chic courtyard in the western suburbs of the capital." With Liulang's exclamation, Yang Yansi and Huyan Pixian, who only cared about sheltering from the rain and galloping, took a closer look, the courtyard is not red walls and green tiles, but based on green plants, surrounded by hundreds of flowers, and light rain, the fragrance of flowers is a little stronger, although the scale of the courtyard is not large, but from the careful layout in front of the door, the owner of this house must not be a layman.

"It was completed two years ago, when we talked around the fireplace at night, but it was also chic, and your family entered the morning and evening, probably didn't know." Zheng Yin explained, turned around and saw four forbidden soldiers standing on the side of the door, and said with a smile, "Baochen, I saw the guard, she is really there." ”

"It's not okay to go in this way." Gao Qiong also glanced at the guards, grabbed Zheng Yin and persuaded, "Sister Chai's private house, if we don't say hello, it's already rude, not to mention the foreign ministers." ”

Zheng Yin didn't listen to him, and went straight up and knocked on the door, and when Gao Qiong came back to his senses, the guards had already opened the door.

Seeing the dress of the person who opened the door, it was obvious that it came from the guards of the imperial city, Yang Yanzhao and the three of them couldn't help but exchange glances, could it be that the master here was actually a certain master within the palace wall.

"Greetings to the little marquis, it is raining so heavily, why did the two little marquis come, have you told the county lord." The guard asked respectfully, and hurriedly handed over a few umbrellas.

"We went out hunting, but who expected to catch up with this kind of weather, and came here to take shelter from the rain, but we didn't tell your county lord." Gao Qiong stepped forward and explained.

The guards looked at Yang Yanzhao and the three of them who were following them, and then said, "Master Hou, please wait under the corridor for a while, and report to the county lord if you are humble." ”

"No need, please come in!"

Jiaoyin was in the ears, everyone looked at it fixedly, only to see a young woman wearing a narrow sleeved shirt with light gauze standing under the oil-paper umbrella, with pale tassels hanging from her sideburns, very gentle, the heavy rain slightly wet her skirt, but she was unconscious, and walked straight forward, Gao Qiong and Zheng Yin recognized that it was Lingyu, the palace maid next to Chai Xuyun.

"Lingyu girl, it's you!" Zheng Yin shouted.

"Two little marquis, sons, the county lord just saw you in the high pavilion, and I thought that I would definitely come to shelter from the rain, so I have ordered someone to simmer ginger soup and prepare clothes, please come with me." Lingyu said, raised her eyes and looked at Gao Qiong slightly, Gao Qiong said softly, "Thank you." ”

The three of them then went in, only to hear Huyan Pixian ask in a low voice, "The county lord's mansion!" What a county lord! ”

"Didn't you hear them call Sister Chai! It must be the Lord of Cheshire. Shichiro responded in a low voice.

"I often hear those sons and brothers talking, it is said that the elegance is peerless, but today we can see it."

Liulang did not participate in their discussion, but followed into an attic, which has been neatly prepared five sets of clothes, although the land is not gorgeous, but the workmanship is also meticulous, presumably it is the regular clothes of the guards, when a few people change their clothes, there will be a maid to serve ginger soup, Lingyu at this time led another younger maid into the house, said with a smile, "The county lord is painting on the high pavilion, and the tea has been prepared. ”

"Okay," Zheng Yin agreed.

Gao Qiong got up and refused, "I took the liberty to come here today, so I won't bother more, and I'll thank Sister Chai another day." ”

Liulang also got up with him and was about to leave, but he heard Lingyu say again, "The rain outside has not stopped, and the little marquis is in such a hurry, and his clothes are not wet again, so why bother to bother with this effort." Gao Qiong was reasonable, and it was inconvenient to refute it, so Lingyu continued, "The county lord's tea has been prepared, how can the little marquis save face." ”

After saying that, Lingyu bowed down and made a gesture of invitation, Zheng Yin hurriedly said, "Baochen, when did you become so verbose, we and Sister Chai are not outsiders, Liulang and they will see each other sooner or later." Zheng Yin grabbed his arm, Gao Qiong seemed to understand what he meant, and no longer bothered with the defense of the monarch and ministers, and let Zheng Yin push a few of them out, but he paused and said to Lingyu, "The girl's skirt is wet, and she can drink a bowl of ginger soup." ”

"Thank you, Lord Hou." Lingyu smiled, Yingying saluted, Gao Qiong turned out of the house, and Lingyu followed out.

The high pavilion is more than a zhang higher than the other buildings, the wide eaves keep the rain out of the attic, surrounded by barriers, hanging pale pink curtains and emerald bead curtains, raising a corner in the wind, the rain wets a little ground, the sandalwood fragrance becomes strong in the rain, behind the green curtain faintly see a shadow, bent over, holding the ink pen, painting on the case.

Zheng Yin stepped forward first and said with a smile, "The county lord invited us to come, but what were you doing behind that bead curtain?" ”

For a moment, I only heard a tactful voice from behind the curtain, with a slight smile, and said, "Brother sit down first, Qingxuan, serve tea." ”

"Grass people Yang Yanzhao (Yang Yansi) (Huyan Pixian) to the county lord to say goodbye."

The three of them knelt down in unison as if they had discussed.

Chai Xiyun's pen peak was slightly sluggish, his eyes were slightly raised, and he looked at the three young men kneeling in front of him through the bead curtain, his eyes stayed on Yang Yanzhao's body for a moment, and saw that he was dressed in plain clothes, his face was like a crown of jade, and his body exuded a rebellious atmosphere, but it was different from others, so he asked, "Your name is Yang Yanzhao." “

"Yes," Yang replied.

"But it's the Zhao of 'showing my heart'."

"The lord of the county is erudite." Yang Yanzhao replied again.

"Do you know that this Zhaozi has offended the name of the former prince." Chai Xuyun straightened up and stared at him through the curtain, adding a bit of questioning in his tone.

Yang Yanzhao pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and asked, "Dare to ask the county lord, what is the meaning of the first prince's Zhao character." ”

"The temple has Zhao Mu, Zhao takes Yangming, Mu takes Yin and quiet, the first prince has the responsibility of inheriting the temple, and he is taking the meaning of this word Yangming, living in the temple." Chai Xuyun said slowly.

Yang Yanzhao chuckled when he heard this, and then said, "In this way, it is not a crime. Without waiting for Chai Xuyun to ask again, Yang Yanzhao said, "When my mother gave birth to me, the white light flashed in the sky, just like in the "Book of Songs", King Zhou Xuan's sentence 'Zhuo Biyun Han, Zhao Hui to the sky', so he took this Zhao word, although the name is different from its meaning, how can this be regarded as a crime. ”

Chai Xuyun saw that he was serious, and suddenly felt funny in his heart, "The white light is shining, swirling in the sky" is not a strange thing, as if it is rare for him to say it, the word "Zhao" is narrow and narrow, and it is hard to let him decompose it into two meanings, Chai Xuyun covered his lips lightly, and said, "This kind of statement, this palace is the first time I have heard it, although it is a fallacy, it is not all unreasonable, get up!" Take a seat together. ”

"Lord Xie County" Yang Yanzhao and the three of them got up, Yang Yansi hurriedly grabbed his arm, and said in a low voice, "Sixth brother, what are you talking about!" ”

"It's just a strong word." Liulang whispered, and then sat down next to Zheng Yin.

"The county lord is not preparing a birthday gift for the third prince." Gao Qiong was only late at the moment, and asked as soon as she went up the steps.

"It's still my cousin smart." Chai Xiyun responded, and the pen also ended, and said with a smile, "Okay." ”

"Oh, look" Zheng Yin hurriedly put down the tea, and Yang Yanzhao was also very curious, so he got up unconsciously.

Wan Qin and Qing Xuan stepped forward to open the bead curtain, only to see three maids, two holding the top, the other to the bottom, a vivid picture of the cold forest jumped in front of them, and what was even more shocking than this painting was the Royal Highness of the county lord in front of him.

Different from the flowers under the usual palace costumes, Chai Xiyun wore a slightly simple goose yellow brocade dress today, her hair was only half tied, her hair was sprinkled on her shoulders, and she raised a graceful arc with the wind, and on her picturesque and delicate cheeks, a pair of beautiful eyes that looked forward to the flow fell on her new masterpiece, at this time she leaned lightly, her slender hand dyed with cardamom gently stroked the rice paper, and the other wrist wore a delicately carved arm, gently pulling the sleeves, and the movements were natural, like a beautiful picture.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a painting next to it that could make them look away, they were afraid that even Rokuro, who had always been above the top, would ruin his reputation in front of her.

"My sister is really good." Gao Qiong praised silently.

"The landscape painting made by the county lord is simple and vigorous, and the artistic conception is clear and lofty, but it is quite like Li Chengfuzi's "Little Cold Forest Map", but it is a little more soft and wonderful." Yang Yanzhao did not hesitate to say words and praised repeatedly.

"Why, Yang Gongzi has seen Old Master Li's "Little Hanlin Tu". Chai Xiyun heard him mention Master Li Cheng, and couldn't help but ask more.

"Liulang is not talented, in his early years, he was fortunate to meet Master Li Cheng, and traveled with him to the mountains and rivers for half a year, and was able to have a look." Yang Yanzhao replied with low eyes.

"I see, the son has experienced it like this, but this palace is disrespectful." Chai Xiyun smiled lightly.

Liulang couldn't help but feel panicked, hurriedly lowered his eyebrows, and only listened to Chai Xiyun then explained, "The three royal brothers have a noble temperament, such as autumn and winter trees are not customary, so this palace is only able to follow the example of the east, imitate the old master Li's "Little Cold Forest Map", and send it to Brother Wang with a few strokes. ”

"Such a masterpiece, I'm afraid that the third prince won't be able to put it down." Zheng Yin interjected, and then said, "Only the county lord can bother with some thoughts for the prince, look at us, which time is not to pick a ready-made thing to send." ”

"I just left the hunted rabbit in the house, the county lord loves clean color, and ordered someone to make a collar, in the end, it is a solid color like snow, it is a good one." Gao Qiong said slowly.

Chai Xiyun responded with a smile, "It's time to thank my cousin with a good cup of tea." ”

"Hey! Need not. Gao Qiong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Today I only hunted geese, and those rabbits were all obtained by Liulang, and the county will thank you, so thank Liulang!" ”

Gao Qiong smiled, Chai Xiyun couldn't help but raise his eyes and glanced at Yang Yanzhao, and thanked him. ”

Chai Xiyun hurriedly turned around, ordered someone to put the painting away, and invited everyone to sit down and add tea and lamps.

......

After the rain, it was almost dusk, Gao Qiong and the others got up to say goodbye, Lingyu had already helped them pack their clothes and send them to the gate of the mansion, and only returned to the courtyard when they saw them leaving.

The sound of questions and answers came from the five horses riding side by side.

"Liulang, are you going to King Wei's birthday banquet!"

"The prince's invitation has been sent, how can Liulang be disobedient."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go in the morning!"

Liulang smiled without saying a word, Zheng Yin also smiled, and everyone spurred their horses and went straight to the city gate.
