Chapter 80: Laughter is high and crying is high

(Before dawn, it's night...... It's not a broken promise)

Zhao Hao saw that the person had disappeared into the crowd, and he was still unwilling, so he quickly chased out the door, looked up at the street, and saw the bustling flow of people on the street.

In Shi Nai'an's novel, seventy-two of the one hundred and eight generals were born, even "The Remains of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty" is not credible, so Zhao Hao is skeptical about the list of thirty-six people in the Song Jiang uprising, except for Song Jiang, the rest of the names are all different, after all, there are different versions of the list of those thirty-six people.

Now, a famous person on the list suddenly appeared in front of him, and the force was extremely high, so how could he not be excited?

It's a pity that in a blink of an eye, he missed it, and Zhao Hao had to go home.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Xie Yun called him over, handed over a big red invitation, and said with a smile: "The Lord of the Prefecture has been invited, but it is disrespectful, so it's okay to go and see." ”

Zhao Hao wandered around the streets of Hangzhou for a few days with nothing to do, he was decent, honest and responsible, and he didn't make any moths, and Xie Yun was also relieved.

Zhao Hao opened the red invitation card suspiciously, but it was sent by Cai Qi, the prefect of Hangzhou.

Cai Qi, called Cai Jing's ninth son in the Water Margin, is actually the sixth son.

Cai Jing only has eight sons, of which the sixth and eighth sons have no history, in fact, the remaining six are all university scholars or bachelors, only Cai Jing and Lao Ba are not learned and unskilled, and they can become officials by relying on their father's shadow, so their reputation is not obvious.

Three days later, on the Winter Solstice Festival, Caifu held a Winter Solstice Poetry Meeting on the West Lake and invited Zhao Gongzi to participate.

Although Zhao Hao has no official status, but after all, he is a relative of the Great Song Dynasty, and now he is in Hangzhou, Cai Hao's mansion learned the news, and after reporting to Cai Hao, he also sent an invitation to Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao doesn't like this thing of poetry, because he has no poetry skills, just copying poems, after all, it is a little embarrassing, and if he encounters poetry that happens to be not suitable for the occasion, it is even more embarrassing, so Zhao Hao has always tried to avoid participating in this kind of occasion.

It's just that this time, Zhao Hao had to participate.

In addition to Cai Qi, he also found out that there was another VIP attending the meeting, and that was Zhu Mian.

Zhao Hao really wanted to see what the traitor who was listed as one of the "six thieves" and had caused trouble in the entire Jiangnan for 20 years looked like.

The most important thing is that if you have the opportunity to teach Zhu Mian a lesson, or even do it, it will be a great merit.

……

The winter solstice, also known as 'Yiyangsheng', is an important solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar and a traditional festival of the Chinese nation.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the winter solstice and the beginning of the year (Spring Festival) were equally important. "Tokyo Menghualu" cloud: "November winter solstice. The most important festival in Beijing, although the poor, between a year, accumulate pretenses, to this day is easier to new clothes, prepare food, enjoy the ancestors. The official release is closed and celebrated, just like the New Year's Festival. ”

There is even a saying in some places that "the winter solstice is as big as the year".

In the city of Hangzhou, the weather is getting cooler and colder, but it can't stop the scholars and literati from showing off their coquettish interest, and in the winter solstice, which is as big as the year, it is indispensable to have large and small poetry meetings.

The Cai family has always been known for its scholarly family, a bachelor's degree, although Cai Yi himself does not learn and has no skills, but he still can't stop his coquettish heart, so on the winter solstice festival, a grand poetry meeting was held.

Those who participated in this poetry meeting were either rich or expensive, and of course, more importantly, there was another distinguished guest to come, that is, Zhu Mian, the envoy of Weiyuan Festival.

The poetry will be held on a large ship, which was originally a large ship carrying stones, which is several times larger than ordinary painting boats, and there is no need to connect several painting boats together like the Xie family, which is enough to welcome more than 100 guests.

Today's poetry meeting seems to be more important than the poetry meeting in the past, so the top signs of the Qinglou that have been booked have already come, and those scholars and scholars have also entered the table early.

Zhao Hao naturally didn't dare to hold it up, so he took Zhao Ling and Liang Lie and boarded the ship with a cadre of scholars and scholars.

He wears a white jade crown, wears a purple shirt, has a long jade body, and is seven or eight meters tall in the crowd, which has caused many people to look sideways for a while, and many people are asking which son this is.

At this time, there were already many people at the venue, and after Liang Lie handed over the invitation, someone hurriedly greeted him: "Zhao Gongzi, please come here!" ”

This "Zhao Gongzi" attracted a surprising gaze from all around, the surname Zhao in Hangzhou was originally difficult to see, and it was the first time that he could be called "Zhao Gongzi" and was invited by Lord Fuzun, which made everyone more and more curious, and they speculated about Zhao Hao's identity.

At this moment, Zhao Hao suddenly felt a wisp of chill in his heart, which only appeared once on the night of Yin Yi's assassination.

He turned his head suddenly, and saw a tall figure turn his head, looking at the help hired by the Zheng Mansion to decorate the venue.

Zhao Hao's heart jumped, and he hurriedly inquired about the person's attributes while the person had not left, and unconsciously became excited again.

This person was the good man he was looking for the day before yesterday, and he didn't expect to meet him again here.

When Zhao Hao was hesitating in his heart, the person had already left the venue and disappeared.

In an instant, Zhao Hao had a premonition in his heart that tonight would be an unusual night in Hangzhou, and that person would have a plan when he mixed into the poetry club, either to Zhu Mian, or to Cai Qi, or both of them had a plan.

As soon as Cai Yi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, appeared, he attracted everyone to salute and say: "Welcome to the ...... of the Mansion" Even the music and noisy sounds stopped abruptly for a while.

Zhao Hao looked up and saw that he was of medium stature, but a pair of eyebrows were upside down, upside-down triangular eyes, hooked nose, and a yin owl on his face.

Cai Li, the sixth son of Cai Jing, the new prefect of Hangzhou for more than half a year, he did all kinds of evil, bullying men and women, especially like to rob women, but he had to look at which woman, so he forced people to rob the house to commit violence, many strong women found a short sight on the spot, and the people in Hangzhou hated it, calling it "Cai Hu".

Cai Qi came side by side with a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes in his forties, but that person was dignified, more than 1.75 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, a white face and a beard, and he looked quite elegant, much better than Cai Qi's appearance.

"Zhu Mian, Force: 35, Intelligence: 76, Politics: 53, Command: 34, Health: 87."

This person seems to be a gentleman and has a good skin, but he is a huge greed that has plagued Jiangnan for 20 years, and he is one of the six thieves.

At this moment, Zhao Hao suddenly saw the tall figure again, appearing not far from Cai Qi and Zhu Mian, about ten steps, and his expression was quite a bit of a tiger's eye.

Zhao Hao's heart jumped, he wouldn't do it!

The man also seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then was pulled away by a handyman, and Zhao Hao exhaled softly.

In addition to Cai's house slaves, there are also the elite guards in the box army of Hangzhou Mansion on the ship, in addition, Zhao Hao saw seven or eight guards dressed in brocade clothes and with a single knife at the waist beside Zhu Mian, all of whom are masters of one in a hundred, all of them are above 70, even though that person is strong in martial arts, but in the case of bare hands, it is by no means so easy to assassinate Zhu Mian.

It's just that, don't talk about that person, Zhao Hao himself also moved to kill at the moment.

The tragic scenes he saw and heard on the way from Jiangning to Hangzhou, and the sad and desperate singing on Taihu Lake, made him itch in his heart from the moment he confirmed Zhu Mian's identity, and he wanted to destroy this fight.

It's just that this guy is one of the six thieves, and the fierce generals and beasts summoned by the summoning charm have no effect on him at all, if he wants to assassinate Zhu Mian, unless he kills him with a real gun.

With the entry of Cai Qi and Zhu Mian, the banquet gradually entered the climax stage.

The songs and dances of the top brands took the stage one after another, and the guests present also staggered and staggered, drinking and talking, and it was lively and jubilant.

It's called the Poetry Club, and poetry is indispensable. Those scholars and literati had a few glasses of hot wine, and then the poetry swelled up, and they were looking for chapters and sentences to piece together poems, and for a time many poems called the best poems were handed to Cai Qi and Zhu Mian after being judged and selected by the Hangzhou Confucians in the field.

Cai Qi is a real straw bag, but although Zhu Mian is good at playing with stones, he also has a bit of poetic attainments.

In this way, all the talented people in Hangzhou have moved their competitive hearts, searching their intestines and scraping their stomachs, or shaking their heads, reciting words in their mouths, or writing hard, and swaying their books.

When the atmosphere of the poetry meeting gradually reached its peak, Zhao Hao looked like he was not giving up, his eyes were just searching for the people around him, intending to find the figure, but he never saw it again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, among you here today, there is a distinguished guest from Jiangning Mansion, who is Zhao Gongzi from Jiangning Zhao Mansion."

"I heard that Zhao Gongzi is literary and romantic, and he is famous in Jiangning, why don't you ask Zhao Gongzi to write a poem on the spot, and let me wait for Hangzhou scholars to pay respects, how about it?"

I don't know when, someone suddenly stood up and said something in a whisper, which made the audience quiet down, and they all looked at Zhao Hao's side.

Zhao Hao was stunned, and he didn't notice what the person was talking about until Liang Lie next to him reminded him, only to find that someone was talking to him.

When he reacted, he saw a lot of discussion around him, and all eyes were focused on him, even Zhu Mian and Cai Qi also looked over here.

Zhao Hao glanced at the Hangzhou scholar, his face couldn't help showing an annoyed expression, he snorted coldly, and didn't make a sound.

Liang Lie next to him was also angry, and said loudly: "My son-in-law is a relative of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is a nobleman, how can he be as knowledgeable as you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, it immediately aroused public anger, and there was an uproar all around.

At this moment, not only Cai Qi's face couldn't hold it, but even Zhu Mian, who had always been as calm as water, was full of annoyance.

What kind of score do you put in this clan that is separated by seven or eight rooms? The Lord of the Festival is now a celebrity in front of the official family, even if it is the Governor of Cai, it is also the son of the Xianggong family, is it still insulting you?

Sure enough, a general in brocade next to Zhu Mian strode over, walked to Zhao Hao's table, and said respectfully: "The envoy of the festival asks Zhao Gongzi to leave a poem, and please don't push it back." ”

Zhao Hao glanced at the man coldly, Zhu Mian was pampered and arrogant, and the house slaves next to him were all brocade clothes and jade belts, and later Zhu Mian was beheaded in the east window, and the other subordinates were okay, but these house slaves in brocade clothes and jade belts were all arrested and put in prison and had no good death.

Zhao Hao slowly stood up, glanced at Zhu Mian coldly, strode towards the case table in the middle, dipped his pen in ink, waved like the wind, and wrote a book.

"A bottle of fine wine, thousands of blood, several plates of delicacies and thousands of surnames. When people cry, the sky cries, and the laughter is high. ”
