Chapter 1 Outing
Yundu Mountain on the outskirts of the capital is known for its beautiful scenery, although it is not called a series of mountains, but it is also a blessed land. Every year at the beginning of spring, people who have been bored for a winter often come to take a trip in their spare time. Of course, almost all of those who have such leisure are either rich or noble, or they are vassal and elegant literati, and ordinary people are eager to take advantage of the warm weather to do odd jobs to supplement their livelihoods, how can there be such idle work.
Yiyun Pavilion is located on the east side of the top of Yundu Mountain, overlooking from the top of the mountain, most of the outline of the capital can be faintly seen, so it is the most popular place for everyone. I don't know who is a good thing, it is said that there are immortals on the top of the mountain, if the person who rushes to the exam is blessed by this, he will definitely be nominated for the gold list, and the name of this small cave in the capital will spread. How could a shrewd businessman let go of such a good opportunity to make money, and scrambled to try to take down this treasure land, but the people in the official mansion also had plans, and after weighing it repeatedly, the treasure land on the top of the mountain still fell into the hands of Wei Wenlong, the brother-in-law of He Weitao, the secretary of the Criminal Department. Although Uncle Wei can't study, he is a good hand at taking care of business, and after three years of work, the name of Yiyun Pavilion has been completely launched, of course, the silver that fell into the hands of Uncle Wei is even more covetous. Carrying Uncle Wei's sister-in-law, Lord He's third aunt also exhaled and raised her eyebrows in He's mansion, after all, the monthly silver coming in is not a joke.
Today's Yiyun Pavilion is particularly lively, the third floor was taken away by a few adults from other places, and the other half was occupied by a Beijing official, just looking at the respectful attitude of the proprietor Wei Wenlong, the shopkeeper knew that it was a great man, so he instructed Xiao Er to add a little more courtesy. As for the second floor, most of them are scholars who have gone out of the blue, the imperial court attaches great importance to this spring, the emperor appointed Cai Mingjing as the main exam, everyone knows that this adult has always been fair, clean and self-conscious, needless to say, the most important thing is that he has nothing to do with several active princes, which makes the lifters have the mood to travel. As a result, the entire second floor was filled with the laughter of the proud sons of these days, as if they had jumped over the dragon gate.
In contrast, the young people sitting near the window did not have that high spirit, on the contrary, their brows were furrowed, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.
"The wife of the chaff does not go to court, this is the words of the ancients!" A young man in a blue shirt broke the silence and said indignantly, "He Shuming, if you really want to do this injustice, I, Fan Hengwen, have nothing to say, in vain I begged my father to be a matchmaker for you." In the future, the two of us will cut off our robes and break our righteousness, and we will never have anything to do with each other again! His face was clouded, and he had the intention of brushing away without saying a word.
"Brother Hengwen is angry." The short scholar next to him hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game, "You and Brother Shu Ming have a good relationship, how can you believe that rumor?" It's better to listen to Brother Shu Ming's explanation, and it's not too late to make a calculation. ”
As the target of the spearhead, He Shuming's face was full of helplessness, and he couldn't figure out when he became a fragrant dumpling, Tang Jianrou, a famous talented woman in the capital, would actually visit Yuanzhe Temple with him, and now he thinks about it like a dream. This is good, the boiling rumors immediately offended his confidant. Hengwen is too stubborn, and he is old-fashioned, I really don't know how I became friends with him in the first place, alas, it seems that I can't pass the test without some words.
At that moment, he was about to speak, only to see a commotion outside the door, and several well-dressed men walked in with a young man in their arms, the young man's face was not outstanding, but there was a cold aura in the middle of his eyes, plus the guards behind him, it was obviously a child of the family. Those people who raised their eyes were also bright, and when they saw that the people who came in were not idle, their voices were much softer, and even He Shuming and the others looked at the young man curiously.
Dressed in a moon-white robe, with a beautiful jade of good texture in his hair, and a strangely shaped ornament hanging from his waist, there is nothing else dazzling, this is the wind that quietly left the palace. In the blink of an eye, he has spent more than a year in the palace, and this more than a year of training is enough to make an originally simple young man extremely deep, and now no one in the palace and outside the palace dares to underestimate this prince, and his practice of not befriending foreign officials to solidify the aid also makes the emperor extremely satisfied. Only Chen Lingcheng knew in his heart that this highness was still waiting for the opportunity, after all, his start was too low and too late.
"Master," Xu Chunshu's respectful voice woke up Feng Wuxi's thoughts, "This Qianli drunk of Yiyun Pavilion is also famous in the capital, do you want to come some?" ”
Feng Wuxian looked around a little carelessly, and then smiled: "This is outside, not at home, how many times have I told you, you don't have to make rules like this." You tell the others to find a random table and sit down, and you and the Immortal will sit next to me and talk to me. It's easy to come out for a trip, and it's not fun to be too restrained. ”
Xu Chunshu was about to excuse himself, when he saw Feng Wuji's slightly uncertain face, he hurriedly agreed, and after a while, several guards all found a place to sit down, Rao is so, everyone is still very vigilant, if this master hurts half a hair, they will have to eat and hang up when they go back.
Seeing that the new group of people did not have the high-flying and domineering appearance of those gentlemen in the past, the lifters became presumptuous again. Originally, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even the voice should be lowered when speaking, but this is the outskirts of the city, and it is a rare good weather, so how could they let go of such a good opportunity to relieve the nervousness before the exam?
"Fighting the world, I can't do anything in my life, hahahaha! What is full of economy, only eight buckets high; What a teenager is ambitious, the title of the gold list! I think my teacher Jingqi is conceited and learned, at the age of sixteen, he won the first place Xie Yuan, but he failed every year in the exam, and now he has been reduced to being a Qing guest and looking at the villain's face, the holy master, am I really studying for so many years in vain? ”
A sudden sigh came from a table in the center, which was in great contrast to the cheerful atmosphere on the second floor. Feng Wuxian curiously followed the prestige, only to see a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a half-old green robe, with a pair of cloth shoes that were almost invisible, and his beard was half a foot long, but it was uneven, and he looked very strange. Looking at the several empty wine jugs on the table, you can know that this person has drunk a lot, and I am afraid that what he said just now was just a moment of drunken nonsense, just venting. But Feng Wuxian noticed that the man's eyes, which were cloudy from drunkenness, occasionally shot a sharp light, which made his heart move.
He was about to ask Xu Chunshu to inquire about this person's identity, but who expected that a few people at the table next to him had already called out disdainfully, "Hmph, your Shi Jingqi also has today?" If you want to be above the top, isn't it that no one cares about it? A young man with a rampant look laughed loudly.
"That's it, it's called God's eye-opening!" The other person immediately said, "You are still openly blaspheming the name of the Holy Ancestor in this public, it is really a shame for us and other scholars!" ”
"He also claims to have been in Xie Yuan, and his sentences don't rhyme, nor have any artistic conception, I really don't know who taught it!" A young man in brocade pouted, and his words were even more vicious, "I don't look at my own virtues, I want to be named on the gold list, and I will be in the next life!" ”
Feng Wuxian couldn't help frowning, this is the move known as talent? To ridicule a down-and-out person so wantonly, it is obvious that their virtue is also very obscene, if these people are allowed to control the court, I am afraid that the common people will be unlucky!
"As you know, this talented man once said to a man: 'If you can be lifted, unless there is snow in June and the sky is clear.' I was so angry that others brushed their sleeves away. It's a pity that the person's great talent is not what he can guess in vain, Lord Min is now a noble Tianjin Dao, a dignified four-grade member, but he is still waiting for the test every year, alas, God really has eyes, if it weren't for Lord Min's kindness, I'm afraid that this talented man would have been found to be famous! A scholar interjected as if he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
As soon as these words came out, Feng Wuji's face became more and more ugly, although he couldn't interfere in the government affairs, but he knew Lord Min in the mouth of the scholar, that day in Haifu, as soon as he saw the fat man with a fat head and big ears and a servile face, he had an indescribable sense of disgust, and afterwards he heard Haiguanyu mention that this person was a stammer with Shangguan and mistreated his subordinates, which made him even more despised. But he stammered with the fourth brother, and even Hai Guanyu could only turn a blind eye. At this time, hearing that Shi Jingqi had mocked this person, Feng Wuxian was even more curious about him.
