Zhao Xing is not a hypocritical person, and as soon as a few people persuaded him, he lazily put away his official duties. Seeing that he no longer insisted, the servants who were waiting on the side took turns to congratulate him, and the maidens also appeared and solemnly greeted him. Cheng Azhu was overjoyed and beckoned to deliver red envelopes to the servants, while Chen Yiyi flashed his big eyes and bit his lip and glared at Zhao Xing dissatisfied.

Zhao Xing was still wondering, why she was still hanging her face at this time, following Yiyi's resentful gaze, Liao Xiaoxiao was being held, smiling at him, seeing his gaze turned to himself, his mouth weakly praised: "Famous Xianglu people are so Xu." The edict urges each other, and the conversation and laughter are waved into golden and jade sentences. Xianshu fruit see the heavenly mansion.

Striding into the sky, we have the road now. The soles of his feet are full of clouds, and he flocks into the toad palace. It's good that it's March twilight this year. Qionglin banquet is crowded with people - the brother who wishes to live a long life, and the pine and cypress are shoulder to shoulder. ”

Liao Xiao is a commonly used "congratulatory eulogy for the promotion of the first official and the first official" commonly used by the Song people. Cheng Azhu is from the countryside, Chen Yiyi is from Yueguo, neither of them knows this set of etiquette, and Liao Xiaoxiao's appearance has made up for it.

She is showing off, sincerely bullying the two women and not understanding the etiquette of officialdom, in order to show her value. Unfortunately, Zhao Xing doesn't care about these particularities. He asked gently: "The spring breeze is like a cut, the little girl is stable when she is sick, don't suffer the wind anymore!" ”

When Zhao Xing spoke, Chen Yiyi was quick and immediately ordered Liao Xiaoxiao to go back to the house, and she couldn't tell half a sentence. Ah Zhu's movements were not slow, and he immediately invited Zhao Xing's friends to the inner hall, and then, the prepared tailor shuttled up, measured the bodies of the three people, and immediately presented ready-made official clothes to dress up the three of them.

With Zhao Xing paying for the outfit, Xu Shixi was overjoyed. Zhou Bangshi was a little reluctant. But Zhao Xing knew that the two women in his house were purely busy to gag their mouths. Leave yourself speechless. He understood, so he pretended to be flattered and taken care of, and persuaded Zhou Bangshi by the way.

After the chaos, the banquet that had been prepared was presented like a stream, and Ah Zhu and Yi Yi took turns on the stage, and the gag measures were taken one after another. It wasn't until the three of them were dazed and sent out of the door that Zhao Xing had the opportunity to ask Sun Xiaoer: "Sun Xiaoer, has the little girl's deed of sale been delivered?" How much is the ransom? ”

Zhou Bangshi's eyes widened sharply, he didn't recognize the girl who was sick and out of shape and didn't wear makeup at all just now Liao Xiaoxiao, for a moment, he turned his mind a few times, thinking of the bleak legend of the Tokyo prostitute after her illness, but he didn't have the heart to make fun of it. Only sighed deeply.

Xu Shixi and Zhang Yong have also heard of the name of Liao Xiaoxiao, who is the "Ten Uniques", Zhang Yong is asking Zhao Xing, and Liao Xiaoxiao is now haggard. It was also distressing, so the two of them also sighed and pricked up their ears to listen to Sun Xiaoer's answer.

"Da Lang, when Du Qisheng sent the deed paper, he didn't say whether he paid the ransom silver, the little one was afraid that Da Lang would ask, so he went to ask Lao Bustard, and I heard that Du Qisheng paid ten ransoms for Miss Liao and Xiaoqing, big officials, this price is really ......"

"Well deserved!" Zhao Xing coldly interrupted Sun Xiaoer's words: "People are sick. You should ask a doctor to extend the medicine, why do you have to send it to the firewood room? I don't care what Du Qisheng did, you say hello to the eldest lady and send Du Qisheng five hundred yuan, which is counted as Liao's small ransom - our family doesn't owe him favors! ”

Sun Xiaoer hesitated. Whisper: "Just a little girl, the eldest mother, and the young mother, please thank you." The eldest mother is still good, but the young mother's face is not good. The money in the house is in the hands of the young mother, and the deed paper is also there, I'm afraid ......"

Zhou Bangshi, Xu Shixi, Zhang Yong and others have understood the tragedy of Liao Xiaoxiao's experience from Sun Xiaoer's words. The two of them had no intention of laughing.

Zhou Bang's family was wealthy. I just got a set of valuable official clothes from Zhao Xing, and I was thinking about compensation. He couldn't help but generously said: "Leave people, I will give this money, how about I give it to you?" ”

Xu Shixi also wanted to say, Zhao Xing waved his hand: "Sun Er, take my jade pendant to find Cheng Shuang, and let him come forward to withdraw 500 yuan." Nanbo, I received the sincerity, and you don't need to pay for this...... By the way, you can withdraw another 500 guan to Zhang Guanjun. Zhang Guanjun, you go with my inner knowledge......"

Zhang Yong was grateful for the first time: "Thank you, brother Liren, in this way, I won't go to Jin Mingchi...... Well, it's a good horse for a brother......"

"Don't think!" Zhao Xing interrupted Zhang Di's words: "You can't afford to feed my horses...... The feed it eats is too delicate, it is troublesome to take care of, and the slightest negligence will make the horse sick! ”

"Hehe", Zhang Yong said with a smirk, "Look at you, that's all I said...... Also, I heard that the mare that was taken from you did not eat for two days after entering the Imperial Horse Prison, and after a few days of hard work, he fell ill and died. Originally, the forbidden army wanted to take another horse from you, but after hearing this, I felt that I couldn't support such a delicate horse, and wanted to wait until autumn to speak. I heard them say that in autumn, it is time for the horse to adapt to the climate of the capital.

However, during this time, you also have a good idea, I also heard that in the spring, horses are in heat, and many people are waiting to lead the mare to breed! How many stallions of yours...... Hey, hey, it's sexually blessed! To be a horse is to be a horse that leaves people! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xing froze for a moment, shook his head, and was speechless - he was mourning for the mare. The Mutsu horse is a northern horse, adapted to the humid oceanic climate, and the climate of Bianliang City is too different from its habitat, and it must be a death if it is raised in the usual way.

War horses are delicate animals, but also very timid animals, it takes a long time to adapt to a different environment, and it will also give birth to depression. The Imperial Horse Warden may not have raised horses for a long time, and when he took away the war horses, he didn't know how to find a few horsemen who were familiar with the horses and helped raise them for a while......

The mare is tossed and died, what else do they want to do? At this time, Zhao Xing was no longer the stupid man who first came to the Great Song Dynasty, and now he was looking for him to ask for a horse, even if the emperor opened his mouth Zhao Xing would dare to resist the decree.

He was just waiting for this opportunity to resist the decree.

A war horse can't change the world, sure enough!

After Zhang Yong's farewell, Zhao Xing, who was dressed in new official clothes, hurriedly went out and hurried towards Jin Mingchi. When they arrived, the rehearsal of the Great Song Dynasty Navy had ended, and the courtyard was full of citizens in twos and threes, who only had the opportunity to come to the palace forest garden once a year to play, and they all seized the time to wander around, looking at the past, and their eyes were full of people.

Jinming Pond, Lingxing Gate opposite the two buildings called Kuixing Building. There are two Kuixing Towers, one of which is the place where the new Kejin Shi paid his respects on March 3. The other was reserved for court officials. When Zhao Xing and the others arrived, the people on the Cai Lou had not dispersed. The presence of countless official prostitutes makes this area more fragrant than other places, and the officials and prostitutes dressed in full costume are under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the flowers and branches are swaying to choose their positions in the designated places. The officials on the stage saw Zhao Xing, who was dressed as a new science and technology jinshi, and they went upstairs and hurriedly beckoned the three to sign up.

Xu Shixi is Tanhualang, standing in the front. the third positive number below the examiner; The Zhaoxing Provincial Ministry Examination is a red chair, and although the palace examination is a second-class, the current ranking is still given according to the "red chair", so it is in the last place and stands aside; Zhou Bang's ranking is not forward or backward, standing in the team.

Originally, Zhou Bangshi planned to take the Jilu official and leave, but Zhao Xingqiang pulled him and tried his best to introduce, "The feast of Jinmingchi is rare through the ages, since it is here." I can participate in it as a jinshi and rank among them - there is no such shop in this village"! Zhou Bangshi thought about it, and it was right! So he didn't shout anymore. On the stage at this moment, he obediently obeyed the command of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhao Xing looked left and right and understood!

Originally, in the Song Dynasty, official prostitutes were used as modern hostesses, and one of their important missions was to embellish major events such as entertainment hosted by the government. Whenever there is a major event, the government will requisition official prostitutes and order them to line up for a spectacular ...... Well, there seems to be a rumor: "In Xining, Wang Anshi implemented the new law, and the government scattered green seedlings money." He once appointed official prostitutes to sit and have fun in order to deceive the people"......

However, compared with Miss Etiquette, the official prostitutes of the Song Dynasty did not encounter the trouble of "unspoken rules". Because the law of the Song Dynasty did not allow officials to have "ambiguous affairs" with official prostitutes. Because of this layer of legal protection, they have a "level-eyed" attitude towards officials – what is known in modern times as "casual attitudes". "Disobedient", "disobedient to management" and so on.

The "evil" thing is: in the Song Dynasty, it was not a crime for official prostitutes to be so careless, and those officials who ate "organized meals" still watched them "mess around" with great appreciation, and did not even reprimand them lightly. One by one, they behaved like flower messengers. This made the building chaotic. The new branch jinshi has become an embellishment of the female porridge in the building.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were sweating profusely, and they were told and told. But the group of official prostitutes still laughed and laughed, and although their feet did not move when they stood on the ground, their mouths did not stop for a moment. What is particularly infuriating is that the "section-level beautiful" official prostitutes do not talk to section chief-level officials, and the "department-level beautiful" official prostitutes ignore the instructions of the division chief, and when they see the young people of the new science and technology department, they immediately throw their eyes indiscriminately without any organizational principles, and by the way, they also wave the handkerchiefs of the fragrant people around, which makes people intoxicated.

"East Qiming, West Chang Gung, South Pole Beidou, smile and ask who is the star picker?" Jin Sailan, the champion of the prostitutes standing at the head of the official prostitute team, rolled his eyes and greeted Xu Shixi, who was crowding in.

"Spring peony, summer peony, autumn chrysanthemum and winter plum, I am Tanhualang", Xu Shixi smiled very proudly, and after standing still, he was as happy as a stealing cat.

Zhou Bang-style is so angry - careless in making friends, this guy is too hateful, people say southeast and northwest, he says spring, summer, autumn and winter, this still doesn't let people live? He pondered for a while, gritted his back molars, and spit out a sentence viciously: "Zhou Yousao, Han Youfu, Tang poetry and Song Ci, and Zhou Liu, a light language brother in today's dynasty." ”

The singers were shocked, and Zhao Xing complained bitterly - careless in making friends! What to do? Xu Xiaoniao said the four kinds of flowers of "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter", and Zhou Xiaoniao said four kinds of articles of Zhou, Han, Tang and Song Dynasties, and Saofu poems, what am I doing? I can't go up the hill to fight tigers, can I?

Bitter! Bitter! What a pain!

The Zhou Bang-style couplet "Zhou Liu" is said to be the representative of the Song Dynasty love poetry school: Zhou Bangyan and Liu Yong. The contemporaries commented on the poems of these two people: "light language is tasteful, light language is sophisticated, light and sharp, and full of postures". Although Zhou Bangshi is not Tanhualang, he said: I am Zhou Bangyan's brother.

What could be more awesome for a prostitute than that name? So he said softly, Tanhualang stepped aside!

Zhao Xing couldn't hesitate, he blinked his eyes and hurriedly replied: "Purple Champion, Xingbangyan, Su Lang Tanhua, don't ask the red chair in the list!" ”

The crowd laughed, and the prostitutes laughed even more.

The Song Dynasty stipulated: when the Qionglin banquet or Jinmingchi was checked, the champion wore a red suit, so the saying was called "champion red"; Bangyan wears apricot yellow clothes, so the folk call it "golden eye"; Tanhua wears plain white clothes, lined with white and ruddy complexion, so the folk call "Su Lang", "Fan Lang", the two are collectively called "Tanhua Pollen (Su) Lang", and then referred to as "Tanhua Lang".

Except for the three people, there are regulations on the color of the uniforms, and the rest of the new science and technology scholars are awarded according to their ranks. They wore their official uniforms in their own colors – mostly black or green.

In the imperial examination, in addition to the title of the champion list, there is also the title of "red chair". Because at the end of the list announced by the imperial examination, the last place is ticked red, indicating that the list is correct and ends here. So the last place on the list is commonly known as "sitting on the red chair".

Zhao Xing is now wearing "miserable green". is also a "miserable green boy". He first counted the clothes and clothes of Sanding Jia in an envious tone, and then said that he was the last name in the imperial examination, and sat on a red chair, hoping that others would ignore him......

In comparison, the couplets of the three people who have just gone upstairs, among which Xu Shixidi is the highest, and this guy is worthy of Tanhualang's literary talent; And Zhou Bangshi's lifting out of his brother was a bit arrogant.

Zhao Xingdi's couplet did not adhere to the strict battle, but the first two said nothing. In this case, he can figure it out even well, not to mention the funny elements contained in the couplet. It doesn't make people serious. After a burst of laughter, Zhao Xing was the most popular.

Jin Sailan spoke first, and her words were full of affection: "Da Lang, where was the bachelor of Da Su yesterday, the slave family wanted to find Da Lang to learn singing, but I didn't expect Da Lang to go in and out, and he couldn't be idle for a moment. Now that I met it, I will take your car to go when I turn around, and Da Lang will not refuse a thousand miles. ”

Hu Lianlian is a private prostitute, and her feelings are different from those of Jin Sailan. She made a gesture and said, "I heard that Da Lang picked up Liao Xiaoxiao yesterday...... Xiaoxiao was sick for many days, and the slave family couldn't help himself, so he didn't have time to visit, but fortunately, Xiaoxiao had the care of Dalang. The slave family is really envious. I don't know what Xiaoxiao is doing now, after this matter is dispersed, can the slave family go to visit with Da Lang? ”

Prostitutes are eager to meet a lover with affection, Zhao Xing and Liao Xiaoxiao do not have a deep relationship, but Zhao Xing can stand up at a critical moment. Block the wind and rain for Liao Xiaoxiao. How could such a man not be favored by a prostitute? As soon as Hu Lianlian's words fell, a group of prostitutes messed up the formation. They all approached Zhao Xing, and in the name of visiting, they wanted to share the car with Zhao Xing......

A group of prostitutes surrounded Yingying Yanyan, and the order of the scene was completely chaotic. The other new science and technology scholars looked at them with envy in this direction, but Zhan Miao's eyes were full of resentment. The officials of the Ministry of Rites were also angry when they saw this situation, and they sighed; "That's it, that's all for today—who's in charge of the water swing?"

Tang An'an and Pan Chengxin raised their handkerchiefs and responded crisply.

The official of the Ministry of Rites asked again; "Who is Keju?"

A group of prostitutes such as Jin Sailan and Hu Lianlian raised their hands and agreed loudly, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites asked again according to the list; "Where's the donkey ball? …… What about the left and right armies? …… What about a hundred tongues? ”

A group of prostitutes (tricks) agreed loudly, and the official of the Ministry of Rites said weakly: "It seems that it can't be done today, you go back and practice by yourself, but after two days, there is a mistake, hum......"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites gave up, and the prostitutes immediately dispersed the queue, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not say that they should let the new branch jinshi disperse, and the jinshi did not dare to move. The group of prostitutes couldn't help but say that they hugged Zhao Xing and ran downstairs. Zhao Xing was stupid and bold, besides, he didn't care about this petty official position at all, he didn't even greet the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and he also left Zhou Bangshi and Xu Shixi, who came with him, buried his head, and was driven by this group of girls to the gate of Jinmingchi.

Zhou Bangshi, who was upstairs, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he didn't care about this official position, so he chased Zhao Xing with his feet. With his move, there was a group, and the others did not wait for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to greet them, and ran downstairs.

When the Jinming Pond is open to the public, the most interesting place in the garden is not in this Kuixing Tower, but in the grass of Jinmingchi, among the trees, and next to the flowers and trees - there, the young girls in Tokyo City are dressing up and displaying flowers and branches, waiting for these new science and technology scholars to "stay in the queue on the Kuixing Tower", so don't you miss the encounter in Jinmingchi?

Tanhualang Xu Shixi was stunned for a long time, and only then did he remember when everyone ran out: "I was asked to have dinner when I was gone, but I don't remember the way!" Leave the brother, leave the ...... Don't run so fast, don't leave me! It's miserable, everyone has run out, who am I celebrating with tonight? The delicious food on the Liren's house is famous in Bianliang, with orchid dancing and Japanese girls playing and singing...... Hey, who knows where Zhao Liren lives

Zhao Xing was surrounded by a group of prostitutes, no, he was carried by the group of prostitutes, and he was carried into his home without touching his feet. As the saying goes, "three women in a flock of ducks", thirty women...... Oh my God, don't live.

Cheng Azhu was overwhelmed by the noise, and at a critical moment, Chen Yiyi showed an aristocratic style. She vigorously assigned the group of widows to lead the ducks in the courtyard to Liao's small room...... Suddenly, the whole world fell silent.

It's not quiet, the prostitute just left, and the panting Zhou Bang-style ran outside the mansion, and then, Xu Shixi also ran in. Both of them ran like two dogs participating in the race, and they sat on the ground with only the strength to stick out their tongues.

Chen Yiyi took the prostitute away, and originally wanted to have a seizure, but when she saw Zhao Xing's friend coming in, she put on a smiling face, and politely invited the two to sit in the main hall, and then commanded the servants to set up a banquet...... Xu Shixi's long-awaited feast began, but unfortunately there were a few people.

Zhao Xing and Zhou Bang-style Xu Shixi are in the same department as Jinshi, according to the Ming Dynasty. They should be called "the same year".

There are 137 people in the undergraduate department, and the rest of them have joined forces to drill into the large and small restaurants and Goolan Washes in Bianliang City to celebrate their own land. Zhao Xing: There are only three people here. It is equivalent to a private banquet. And among them, except for Xu Shixi, those two people are people who don't want to be officials. For Xu Shixi, this banquet is very unfavorable to his contact with the same year, promote the friendship of colleagues, and then help him in his future career. But Xu Shixi didn't care about these losses, he ate very happily, listened to the Japanese girl's singing, and was amazed by the luxurious layout of Zhao Xing's mansion.

After Jin Sailan and the others "visited" Liao Xiaoxiao, Qin Guan, Chen Shidao, and Li also returned, and the banquet became more lively. Face a well-known merry talent. In the face of Zhao Xing, who is willing to be responsible for them, Jin Sailan and others used all kinds of means to perform, and after a while, the atmosphere was pushed to **.

Qin Guan is worthy of being a love killer of "tired beauties", in the blink of an eye. The protagonist of the banquet became him, the prostitutes took turns to flatter, and Xu Shixi, the tanhualang, also accounted for a lot of rain and dew, but Zhao Xing was left cold...... This is just right, Zhao Xing is angry with Chen Yiyi in his heart. And they saw that they were no longer paying attention to him. He quietly got up and fled.

At the door of the backyard, an angry Chen Yiyi was eating popcorn. She bit her lip and watched Zhao Xing coming, evened out the weather for a while, and asked softly, "Are you going to find Liao Xiaoxiao?" ”

"Yes...... How is her illness, she should take medicine once in the evening", Zhao Xingshun said.

"I'll go with you...... Well, do you want to take Liao Xiaoxiao? ”

"How can you think that? Did Azhu ask you to ask about the land......" Zhao Xing asked in surprise.

Chen Yiyi shook her head and sighed: "Sister Azhu is the one who handed her a knife when you killed someone, and wiped the blood off the ground for you afterwards, she won't ask." I'm the one I want to ask...... Mrs. Wang told us not long ago that Master Dasu has recently gained a lot of money and has begun to support his family. I heard that he loves Cai Ling and Shi Cui the most, will you do the same? Will you do the same when you get an office? ”

Without waiting for Zhao Xing to answer, Chen Yiyi immediately said again: "I know that this time is different, our family has already had a housework: the coquettishness of orchids, the docility of widows, and the envy of everyone in Bianliang City." There were also people who privately handed us a message to buy a few to go back. But I know, Ah Zhu also knows, you have never treated them as prostitutes, you are affectionate, and you are polite. He never demanded too much of them, never stepped into their house, and never called them to sleep.

I know: the orchids are slave girls, and the widows regard you as the head of the house—they will be eager to climb into your bed if you nod your head. You let Sister Azhu keep it for you for three years. In the past three years, I don't know anywhere else, but I know that you have never recruited prostitutes in Da Yue, even if my brother and they recruited prostitutes to sleep, you have not; Even if they laugh at you for it, you won't be angry. I know that you are affectionate and righteous, and you only treat your housekeepers as domestic servants, and you have no intention of being nicknamed, so Sister Ah Zhu and I are very happy.

But Liao Xiaoxiao is different, she is the popular leader of Bianliang Jingshi, you ransomed her and put her at home, and recently began to attract a group of warblers and swallows, making the house as noisy as a chicken nest and a duck's nest. Are you going to change? I know people change, and so do you—remember the first time you saw me? How respectful you were then, but I know that you are different from ordinary people, and you are different from all the men I have seen.

Even if you are obedient, you have pride in your attitude, you never look up to people, I feel it, you looked at me with appreciation. I am the lord of the county, you are a merchant, you are polite but not flattering, and then I knew that you were not an ordinary person. Three years after you left, I always looked down on other men, and when I saw their groveling, I always had your indifferent smile in front of me.

Three years later, you came back with a large fleet, and then you were no longer humble to me, no longer careful to please, no longer shy for warmth. Later, it was my parents' turn to please you...... Now that you have become an official, are you going to change again? ”
