After a while, everyone in the hall was still immersed in the chic and impassioned spirit of "Chivalrous Travel", and a housekeeper outside the hall came to report: Cai Yong, the speaker of the court, came with his beloved daughter Yan.

Everyone in the hall got up busily and waited under the corridor with He Jin.

Guo Bin is very interested in Cai Yan, who is well known to later generations, and the so-called allusion of "Wen Ji returning to Han" is even more talked about in later generations.

So, although he was unwell, he still stretched his neck with interest and waited to see the jade face of this strange woman who has been passed down through the ages.

Looking around, I saw that the young men present were all in an excited mood and eager to try, even Cao Cao was no exception.

Seeing them like this, Guo Bin was secretly surprised in his heart: No, no matter how beautiful this Cai Yan is, no matter how beautiful and elegant he is, these rich children should not be so eager like a widower who has never even seen a sow for three years, is there anything hidden?

Then I thought that it should be related to Cai Yong's identity. Cai Yong is a master of scripture, who has just presided over the revision of the Xiping Stone Scripture, and his reputation in the academic world is skyrocketing, and he is very recognized by the scholar class, especially by the students. It may be a bit far-fetched to say that contemporary Confucianism is a little far-fetched, but its influence and appeal among the scholar class are unparalleled.

In addition, Cai Yan is a woman who has the word Zhaoji, erudite and talented, and wonderful in music, so she should belong to the strong women of this era. Whoever can marry him will not only satisfy his vanity as a man, but also gain the approval of Shilin, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Guo Bin thought maliciously: "If this is the case, even if this Cai Wenji looks extremely ugly, I am afraid that some people are vying to marry her." ”

At this time, I saw Cai Yong, who was wearing a crane and wearing a crown and wearing a crown Bo, like a born immortal, walked in under the guidance of the housekeeper, Guo Bin suddenly realized that even if Cai Yong's wife was ugly and abnormal, just looking at Cai Yong's chic and graceful, Cai Yan would never be ugly.

Immediately, a beautiful side face floated through the courtyard gate with the gently moving lotus steps, and the moment he saw this face, even Guo Bin unconsciously gasped a breath of cold air.

So beautiful!

The eyes are flowing in the eyes, and the elegant and demure eyes reveal intelligence and wisdom, graceful and graceful, well-proportioned flesh and bones, clear and clear, elegant and noble. Only the cheekbones are a little higher, but with a high nose bridge, people feel that she is independent and independent, if it is a man with a little lack of self-confidence, I am afraid that she will be ashamed of herself and even speak badly.

Watching her walk into the courtyard, everyone stopped talking. One by one, they held their breath to admire the peerless appearance of the fairy who landed in the mortal world, as if time had stood still here, and the whole courtyard could only hear the sound of the beautiful person moving the lotus step lightly and stepping on the petals.

When she followed Cai Yong to the corridor and greeted He, everyone came back to their senses and secretly checked their makeup and demeanor, for fear that their makeup was not clean, and their manners were not neat and they would surprise the beauty.

Here, He Jin laughed and invited Cai Yong in, and he was very enthusiastic.

Cai Yong saw Guo Bin behind, walked over, and said, "Qianyang, I heard about yesterday's incident, it's good." With that, he patted him on the shoulder and walked in with He Jin.

Guo Bin only nodded, seeing Cai Yan's slightly curious gaze, Guo Bin smiled, did not speak, only put his left hand behind his waist, and made a gesture of please with his right hand.

Cai Yan became more and more curious about this man who often talked about him even with his father's arrogance. In the past, when men saw themselves, they either spoke loudly and tried their best to express themselves, or they were submissive and stammered speechless. Only this Guo Qianyang is polite, neither humble nor arrogant, although he has never seen the etiquette he practiced, but it is chic and concise, and it is indescribably natural and smooth.

Seeing that Guo Bin and Cai Yan actually made eye contact, Yuan Shu on the side only had a secret hatred in his heart.

The guests gathered, and He Jin led everyone in the flower hall to the back garden.

Along the way, I only saw flowers and trees, heavy houses, eaves and buckets, intrigues, and staggered and exquisite places that made people can't help but be amazed.

The back garden of the uncle's mansion will never be open to the public on weekdays, but now the status of the prince Liu Bian's prince is becoming clearer, and it is indeed a good idea to take the opportunity of the Mid-Autumn Festival to invite famous people in Beijing to pull relations and create momentum for Liu Bian's education in the East Palace.

Now another strong contender for the crown prince is the second son of the emperor, Liu Xie, whose mother Wang Meiren was poisoned by Empress He, and in the end, for some reason, the Son of Heaven actually pardoned Empress He's sins. Because of this, the Son of Heaven felt guilty about Liu Xie, who had lost his mother since he was a child, so he raised him in the palace of the Empress Dowager Dong.

Unlike Liu Bian, the eldest son of the emperor who was raised in Taoism since childhood, the second son of the emperor is smart, filial and sensible; He is also long in the deep palace, and is used to seeing the intrigue and even bloody wind in the harem, so he behaves decently and is very loved by the Empress Dowager Dong. In addition, Empress Dowager Dong hopes to use Liu Xie's ascension to the throne to continue to maintain her huge influence on the supreme power, and she is also very concerned about Liu Xie's growth and education. Therefore, Liu Xie, the second son of the emperor who lost his mother since he was a child, regarded the Dong family as a foreign family, and had less contact with the Wang family, where his mother Wang was born in a beauty.

It's just that the Dong family was originally from a small family, and there was no outstanding person in the family who could support the door, so Liu Xie's lack of strong foreign support became a major weakness for him to compete for the position of prince.

The eunuch Shi Chang and the Empress Dowager Dong conspired to sell the official mantle, and they had long been a party, and the reason why Empress He ascended the throne of the queen was because the ten permanent servants also made a lot of effort in it. Therefore, the ten permanent servants did not attach much importance to the new relatives--- He family, and even had a lot of disputes because of the crown prince's problems.

It is only because He Jin is currently the Yin of Henan Province and is not yet a high-ranking and powerful general in the future, so although there are small frictions with the eunuchs, the struggle for the rights of the eunuchs has not yet been fierce to the point of party struggle.

After two party failures, Shilin was hit hard by the eunuch forces who depended on the imperial power, and urgently needed to make a difference politically. And the easiest way is to find someone who is currently in a high position to endorse.

Therefore, He Jin, who has a deep foundation but a high status, has become a good candidate. Because the entanglement and struggle between He Jin and the eunuch power gradually became fierce and became clearer, the cooperation between Shilin and He Jin went extremely smoothly. When Yuan Shao, who lived in seclusion in Luoyang, expressed his intention to cooperate to He Jin as a representative of Shilin, the two hit it off.

Because the political goals of the two on the two issues of establishing the crown prince and opposing the eunuchs are the same: the most important thing for Shilin to maintain the etiquette law is to gain the right to speak in the selection of the heir to the throne, and the difference between the descendants and the order of the young and the young is one of the most important moral principles of Confucianism, and the two disasters of the party make Shilin the same enemy for the eunuchs, so it is difficult to have the slightest good impression of them.

If Shilinzhong recognized Liu Bian's status as the crown prince, on the one hand, it was supported by public opinion, and on the other hand, the scholar class was by no means just as simple as public opinion support. The thousands of manors and forts distributed on the land of more than 10 million square kilometers of the Han Dynasty are their solid backing, and this is also the foundation of the founding of the Han Dynasty.

He Jin, as the representative of the prince Liu Bian's foreign family, once he occupies the commanding heights of public opinion, he will make friends with the minister and expand his power. At that time, even if the Son of Heaven wants to change his mind and appoint someone else as the crown prince, he will have to weigh it carefully.

Thinking of this, Guo Bin was made big by this intricate relationship, and at the same time a sense of unreality surged in his heart: he was a penniless veteran, and after being reborn in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he actually intervened in the struggle for the abolition of the crown prince in a strange way.

Guo Bin thought about it, and everyone had already walked to the back garden.

It was already dark, so it was difficult to see far away. However, just looking at the towering trees with their canopies like umbrellas, and the flowers and plants of different heights, it is easy to deduce that even if you are here in the daytime, it is difficult to see the scenery in the garden at a glance.

Smelling the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, walking on the stone road covered by trees and flowers, and listening to the sound of murmuring water nearby, Guo Bin has the illusion of visiting Suzhou gardens in modern times. Although the design and scenery of the garden here are not as exquisite and elegant as the gardens of later generations, they are clumsy and atmospheric, and there are often unexpected surprises in the ingenuity of the changing scenery.

Guo Bin is still the first time to see the top garden of the Han Dynasty, so he was full of interest along the way, pulling Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to point out the beautiful scenery in the garden, and from time to time there was a sentence "I'll go!" Later generations such quotations are very different from the expressions of other young men who have become restrained and gentle because of Cai Yan's presence. Regarding the extremely embarrassed and reluctant expressions of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Guo Bin ignored them at all.

After walking for about twenty minutes, everyone arrived at their destination.

This is a flat land by the edge of a pool, the pool is full of high and low lotus flowers, large and small fish are swimming in groups under the lotus leaves, and when they jump out of the water, Guo Bin notices that the big one is more than a foot long.

The ground is paved with square bricks, surrounded by flowers and trees, and the fragrance is bursting. At the water's edge is a slippery corridor that leads into the deep flowers and trees, with no end in sight. There are lanterns hanging on both sides of the cloister, so the surroundings are as bright as day, and if you look at the lantern pavilion reflected in the pond from the opposite side of the pool, it must be a beautiful view.

Wandering in the beautiful scenery formed by the dual efforts of human wisdom and natural creation, even Guo Bin, a layman who owes half of his elegance, feels intoxicated, not to mention the heroes, talents, and talented women of these peers.

The reactions and interpretations of the two to the beautiful scenery must be different: in these late Han Dynasty masterpieces, they sighed, "A few reed flowers float in the water, and the sunset lake in Bangan Mountain is low." At that time, the only interjection that came out of Guo Bin's heart was probably "My day, it's so good-looking." "That's it.

When I came to the flat ground by the lake, I saw that there were many men and women here, but they had not yet taken their seats. Some of them tease the fish and shrimp with food by the pond in the cloister, while others wander the path sprinkled with the sunset. It adds a lot of popularity to the Han Dynasty garden under this sunset.

It's just that without exception, when they saw He Jin leading everyone to arrive, they all put down the things in their hands, cleaned up their moods, put on a slightly flattering expression, and came to greet Uncle Guo.

Presumably, although these people were invited, they were not qualified to enter the flower hall in advance due to their low status and other reasons.

Seeing Yuan Shao greeting acquaintances with a humble face, Guo Bin couldn't help but secretly sigh at his good popularity.

Cao Cao's side is relatively small, although from time to time with a humble face of people come to climb the relationship, Cao someone politely talks to people a few words, but there is no Yuan Benchu's enthusiasm.

In contrast, Yuan Shu is much more popular than Cao Cao: I saw him constantly greeting people, calmly and chic (well, at least Yuan Shu himself thinks so).

Cai Yan, who is Cai Yong's daughter, has become the object of these wild bees and butterflies, but fortunately, He Jin is on the side, and the scene is not particularly chaotic.

And our Guo is much more low-key. Although some people are curious about who this man who followed Uncle He Guo out and was qualified to enter the flower hall, Guo Bin was still short in Beijing, so not many people knew him, and he was also clean.

Guo Bin ignored Yuan Shu's provocative and ostentatious gaze from time to time, and only took the apple on the table and nibbled on it.

It's not very elegant.
