Text 327 Revisit Qujiang Pond
The snowflakes slowly stopped at night, and the whole world was still quiet. On the second day, standing in the Daming Palace overlooking the entire Chang'an City, the world covered in silver has still not dissipated, but the original white street, after the trampling of people in the morning, has become a black long dragon, or a long dragon rolling with mud.
Li Lingyue's words yesterday reminded Li Hong of the literati's gathering in Qujiangchi, and Pei Wanying's figure involuntarily appeared in his mind, especially the snow-white neck and a pair of dimples.
But there is a doubt in my heart, Pei Wanying can count the treasures of the party in Qujiangchi, is he going to this party?
So in front of the emperor and the empress, someone ordered Yang Wu to investigate secretly to see if Pei Wanying would go to the party in Qujiangchi.
Li Zhi and Wu Mei naturally knew that Lijingmen was still in the hands of Yangwu and Lian Tie, and let Yangwu investigate, that is, they would use Lijingmen to investigate?
The institutions of the royal court were used by the crown prince in this way? went so far as to find out if a folk woman would attend a gathering of literati?
Naturally, someone was let go by Wu Mei after a few feather dusters because of this matter, as for the task of Li Jingmen, forget it, don't care. What's more, he is not looking for the crown princess, and it is not his turn to make an opinion.
The days when the snow melted were a little colder than when it snowed, and these literati, including the students of Hongwenguan and Guozijian, were notified by the poetry clubs to change the date of their trip to Qujiangchi again and again.
Just when someone was about to lose interest, Yang Wucai ran over and told him that those literati would meet in Qujiangchi tomorrow.
And it is said that the scale of this party is even larger, and even some of the top girls of the flower shop have been invited to Qujiangchi to perform for fun, and these money are naturally paid by some children of the family.
Li Hong was also very moved by what he heard, the establishment of the poetry club and the intervention of the flower workshop, which shows that the poetry culture of the Tang Dynasty is spreading with the romantic affairs, and the real cultural prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is coming.
The poetry club has long been formed among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, but it has only been a few years since it was really introduced to Chang'an and Luoyang, and because of the troubles of the Chongwen Pavilion in Guozijian and Hongwenguan, the students of the Chongwen Pavilion have never liked to chant poetry and be elegant, so the poetry meeting organized by the scholars in Chang'an has become much slower.
Except for some places where it is difficult to see sunlight and shallow snow remains, other places have completely restored their pre-snow appearance.
The air is never fresh, whether it's during the first snow or after the snow has melted for several days, some slightly dry and cold air is scurrying in the breeze, and people still have to tighten their collars from time to time when walking on the street to prevent the cold wind from burrowing through the neck and into the body.
In just a few years, with the expansion of the scale of the poetry meeting, the pervasive traders naturally found a way to make a fortune, especially near the end of the year, the merchants of Chang'an City also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the poetry meeting to make a lot of money at the gate of Qujiang Pond.
The initial intervention of the traders even caused dissatisfaction among the scholars, who did not want to be contaminated with the smell of copper because of them, for fear of tarnishing the character of the literati and artists.
However, with the advent of a dazzling array of various items, and to cope with the occasional lack of items in the course of the poetry meeting, it is natural that the vendors also formed another scenery during the poetry meeting.
Especially as the scholars' favorite flower shops began to appear in Qujiang Pond, it suddenly diverted the attention of the scholars to the vendors, so on this day, all the famous flower shops in Chang'an City, under the leadership of the old bustard, will take the famous girls in their workshop in Chang'an City to perform for the literati in Qujiang Pond, and at the end of the day, they can earn a lot more than they usually earn in the flower shop.
When Li Honglin went out, he asked Bai Chun and Xiaoxue to coax Li Lingyue, this girl said that she would follow her to Qujiangchi whenever she said anything, and said that if she hadn't reminded her, the imperial brother wouldn't be able to remember it, he was a meritorious person, and he should take it with him.
But Li Hong has suffered too much in her, especially under that clever little mouth, the little girl is not only talkative, the problem is that the mouth is not strict, and she will go online for a little something, with her in front of her, it is more uncomfortable than ten Yangwu and Lian Tie.
So someone asked Bai Chun and them to coax Li Lingyue, and he himself brought a Yangwu, and the two of them Shi Ran slipped out of the imperial city early in the morning, as for the court meeting that happened to be today, let Lian Tie go to ask for a leave, Shang Shuling occasionally felt cold and unwell, so he won't go to the court today.
Li Zhi sat on the court, pouting helplessly with a dark face, if it weren't for the fact that in his East Palace that day, when he was leaving with the queen, he gave each of them a box of commemorative gold coins, and said that he would have pulled him back to the court.
On the front of the commemorative gold coin, there are two heads of him and the queen, vivid and mighty and luxurious, much more exquisite than the gold and silver Kaiyuan Tongbao used by the royal family to reward and play before.
Sugar gourds can now be seen everywhere on the streets of Chang'an City, but they will look a little ugly in the composition of the sugar, but they are very refreshing to eat.
Hawthorn was originally produced in China, and even now, it is also eaten as a medicinal fruit, lowering blood lipids, blood pressure, strengthening the heart, and anti-arrhythmia have abnormal effects.
Li Hong didn't have any interest in sugar gourds, to his surprise, Yang Wu actually had a great interest in sugar gourds, and after buying two bunches and being rejected by himself, he began to eat them all the way with relish.
When I went out today, I also instructed Yang Wu to bring enough money, don't be neat like in Taiyi City, people threw silver on it, but he threw broken silver on the stage, and his face was thrown to his grandmother's house.
Yang Wu was full of guarantees, and confidently patted his bulging chest, promising that it would not happen again like the one a few years ago.
Qujiang Pond is much more refined than a few years ago, obviously under the governance of the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, Zong Chuke, a large area of repair has been carried out, although it is winter now, there is no natural scenery of green leaves and red flowers, but the whole Qujiang Pond still gives people an elegant artistic conception.
From the street facing Qujiangchi to the entrance to Qujiangchi, the two sides have already been occupied by vendors at this moment, and the road in the middle is empty enough for two luxury carriages to pass, but that's it, as the rising sun has just hung obliquely in the clear blue sky, it is already crowded at this time.
The common people and even some people came here not to see the poetry of the literati, but to buy some New Year's goods for their families.
The bustling scene is no colder than the East Market when I came, and even has a hint of the traditional meaning of the Tang Dynasty here, rather than the East and West Cities, which are full of traders from all over the world.
Although there are also people from foreign countries who hear the news and come to see the excitement, it is not so important compared to the eastern and western cities.
"Is Miss Pei here?" Li Hong was tall, stretched his neck and walked in the crowd, looking at everyone's heads and asked.
Yangwu's figure is not bad, otherwise it would not have been possible to serve Li Zhi for so many years, like Li Hong, he looked around at the bustling crowd of people in the Qujiang Pond, and then saw a passerby next to him dressed up, muttering a few words in Yangwu's ear in a low voice.
"I'm here, I've just arrived, I've come by carriage, and I've made an appointment with a cousin." After Yangwu heard the news of passers-by, he hurriedly conveyed it to Li Hong.
"Location, where are they now? Pretending to meet by chance can't really meet by chance, these thousands of people, one by one, may not be able to meet tomorrow. Li Hong's mind had already been taken away by the light blue in his mind, his eyes were still searching around the crowd, and he really hoped that he could meet Pei Wanying unexpectedly without relying on Lijingmen, and add some fate.
And in order to meet Pei Wanying by chance, Li Hong not only used the martial arts Lijing Gate, don't look at Bai Chun didn't come, but Jingwei also has someone who has been secretly following Li Hong, just waiting for when Li Hong said hello, and immediately attached it to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince where Miss Pei's foothold is.
The two of them squeezed around in the crowd, bumping around like headless flies, not only did they not find Pei Wanying, but they didn't even see the scholars!!
Li Hong was very depressed, this chance encounter seemed to be out of play, the crowd was crowded for a long time, and he scolded and said, "Whose idea is this?" Why so many businessmen? What does Zong Chuke eat? This is a place where people cleanse their souls and cultivate their temperament, and they are full of copper smell. ”
"Master, the royal garden, the water pavilion, and the water hall are the places where the literati gather, let's go to the wrong door." Yang Wu said sideways to guard Li Hong.
On the other side, there have always been two passers-by following and protecting Li Hong, because there are too many people, and now they have quietly separated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the people, so that Li Hong no longer has to walk shoulder to shoulder with people.
"Damn, don't say it early, go quickly, I'll be accosted by someone else when it's late." Li Hong stretched out his hand and blocked a real person standing in front of him without a trace, and began to walk quickly towards the water hall under the escort of Yang Wu and a few passers-by.
The water surface on both sides of the Jiuqu Bridge has long been frozen into solid ice, and there are even some people walking and playing handsome on it, but these harmonious and freehand pictures, Li Hong has no heart to look at them, and now he has only one thought, hurry up and feel the water hall side.
There was only one way to the water temple, and the pedestrians on the bridge began to become scarce, and the figures of the common people were decreasing, while some literati wearing light ink shirts were increasing at the moment.
