After Cui Wenqing told Fu Bi the above ideas, Fu Bi's mood was excited.

If it weren't for the fact that Cui Wenqing was still inspecting the four states of the Northland to pacify the envoys, maybe Fu Bi would have pulled him back to Luoyang immediately.

But now that the affairs of the four northern states have not been successfully concluded, Cui Wenqing naturally cannot leave, so Fu Bi can only say goodbye to him and return to Luoyang first.

And in the past few days, a good news has also come from Luoyang.

This year's imperial examination is finally released in the autumn.

The champion Lang is Cui Wenqing's acquaintance Cai Qu, which really surprised many people, and they couldn't imagine that this scholar, who was not particularly top-notch in the Guozijian on weekdays, could actually take off the champion crown in one fell swoop.

And what made Cui Wenqing extremely pleased was that Gao Neng's guy also successfully passed the Jinshi.

Although he is only ranked among the top two, he can be regarded as famous, and with a little training over time, he knows that he can't be a blockbuster?

With the recognition and trust of Gao Neng, Cui Wenqing specially wrote to his teacher Wang Anshi, asking him to help Gao Neng get a good position.

In Cui Wenqing's eyes, high energy is stronger than theory, weaker than practice, to use a bad word, that is, a nerd who does not understand the world, so he asked Wang Anshi to help and transferred Gao energy to a long-sleeved yamen who is good at dancing.

Wang Anshi understood what Cui Wenqing meant, and directly asked Gao Neng, who was after guarding the official, to go to Honglu Temple and became a pedestrian responsible for receiving envoys from all over the country.

The position of a pedestrian is equivalent to that of a diplomat in later generations, although it is a lower official in the Honglu Temple, but because he often treats people and things outside, he has a lot of oil and water, and he is good at communicating, which is a good choice for Gao Neng.

By the time everything was done, the time had entered the middle of August, and the whistling autumn wind not only brought a hint of chill, but also brought countless yellow leaves to fall.

Approaching 15 o'clock in August, Cui Wenqing sent a letter to Zhi Zhao, asking her to return to Fuzhong for a reunion.

Who knew that the training of the new army of the Zhenwu Army was busy, but Zhi Zhao couldn't leave, so this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Cui Wenqing could only spend it alone.

Fortunately, with Su Shi and others by his side, he will not be lonely.

Moreover, Su Shi is a peerless talent who wrote "When is the Bright Moon in the Water Tune Song Head" during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so elegant and accompanied, it is really a wonderful thing for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I don't know if Su Shi will have an article this year.

Just when Cui Wenqing was full of expectations, Su Shi came in a hurry.

"Brother Wen Qing, have you heard that Fuzhou will hold a Mid-Autumn Festival poetry collection on the banks of the Yellow River on August 15? Many well-known talents on Hedong Road will be invited to participate. ”

Facing Su Shi's words, Cui Wenqing looked very indifferent, and said with a smile: "I know that Jiang Taidong, the assassin of Fuzhou, also sent someone to send me an invitation, but I was troublesome, so I pushed it away." ”

"What, pushed it off?" Su Shidun opened his eyes wide, obviously a little incredible.

Cui Wenqing had a natural look on his face: "Yes, have you forgotten that last year we also participated in the Laoshizi Poetry Collection held in Fuzhou and had a big dispute with Sima Tang, if you want me to see that these poems are boring enough, don't participate!" ”

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Brother Wenqing, if you usually think so, it's right, but this year's poetry collection is not simple!" ”

"What's not so simple?" Cui Wenqing's tone was still light.

"Hehe, it is said that this year, the Fuzhou Thorn History Mansion specially invited a stunning beauty from the Taiyuan Qinglou to preside over the elegant affairs on behalf of the capital, so it is not simple."

"You know?"

"That's right," Su Shi nodded, and explained clearly, "In my Daqi, the women of the Qinglou are divided into three classes, which are different according to the objects of receiving guests: the high-class women of the Qinglou are mainly to receive high-ranking officials and nobles, celebrities and scholars, of course, this kind of women are rare and relatively rare; The middle ones are thrown into the arms of wealthy businessmen and small and medium-sized officials, and belong to women who have money to get close to Fangze; The inferior ones are regardless of the status of the industry, as long as they are willing to pay, they will all greet each other with a smile, and this kind of Qinglou woman is the mainstream. And there is a superior in this superiority, which is the so-called "all knowing". ”

Cui Wenqing laughed and said: "Brother Su, I remember that you said it last time in Luoyang City, and what did you say that there are only Yan Qingzhi and ...... Well, what's the other two? ”

Su Shi said solemnly: "There are also two daughters named Xue Chuer and Chen Lingtian. ”

In Cui Wenqing's understanding, Su Shi's Duzhi was only afraid that it was similar to those popular singers in later generations, and after thinking about it, he finally became a little interested, and asked with a smile: "You mean, there is also a Duzhi in Taiyuan City, and this time he made a special trip to Fuzhou to host the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”

"Yes." Su Shi bowed his head slightly, "This woman's surname is Wu, it is said that she is the young lady of the official eunuch's family, because her father made mistakes and dereliction of duty, and after being dismissed from office, she ended up depressed in the family road, this woman is filial piety, in order to bury her father, she sold herself to bury her father and fell into the dust, but in just two months, she became famous in Taiyuan City, and was known as the first capital of Hedong Road, attracting countless talented people and celebrities, Wang Sun Guixuan sought after, and I don't know how much work Jiang Taidong spent this time to invite her, as soon as the news came out, it has caused an uproar in Fuzhou. ”

Cui Wenqing almost didn't listen to Su Shi's words, and all his attention was attracted by Su Shi's words surnamed Wu.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered that on the way back to Fuzhou not long ago, he met the woman surnamed Wu.

The beauty looks like a country and smiles lightly, although it is only a short glimpse, but it also leaves an extremely deep impression on Cui Wenqing.

"I'm rubbing! It can't be such a coincidence, right? Cui Wenqing suddenly thought of a possibility, and burst into a foul language.

"What? Is there something wrong? Su Shi was puzzled.

Cui Wenqing said with a smile and a smile: "Brother Su, do you remember the last time I returned to Fuzhou, we saw unevenness on the road and helped people push the cart, and I told you that the woman was born very beautiful." ”

Su Shi suddenly remembered, nodded and said, "Of course I do, and you also told me that the woman's appearance is at the same level as Zhezhao." ”

"yes!" Cui Wenqing slapped his thigh suddenly, "Tell me, is this woman the Wu Duzhi you are talking about?" ”

Su Shi thought for a while, speculated and said with a smile: "It's possible to come like this, Brother Wen Qing, in the face of such a beautiful woman, aren't you excited?" ”

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing righteously refused: "I am a righteous gentleman in the next place, and I am a person with a wife, how can I indulge in fireworks women?!" ”

In the face of Cui Wenqing's remarks, Su Shi showed disdain.

Then, immediately after that, Cui Wenqing grabbed his shoulder, and the words suddenly changed, and said with a smile: "But it's reasonable to accompany you occasionally, okay, this time I will reluctantly go with you to see it." ”

Su Shi was angry, and thought of a question and asked: "But after all, you have already rejected Jiang Taidong, how can you be embarrassed to go again?" ”

Cui Wenqing quickly thought of a solution: "If you are invited by Jiang Taidong to go, I am afraid that you and I will become VIPs again, what is the point?" Brother Su, do you dare to form a poetry club with me Cui Wenqing, let's go to this Mid-Autumn Festival gathering incognito to see if we can be famous with our talents, rather than our official position. ”

With such a suggestion, Su Shi's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Good suggestion, then we decided so, we will participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival gathering incognito." ”
