As the sun rises and sets, the spring breeze blows through the streets of Huaning City, and most of the people show relaxed and joyful smiling faces, talking and laughing freely, carefree. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the city of Huaning, willow flowers bloom, dotting the whole city, and gradually turning into a fresh and lovely green.

The sound of silk and bamboo came from the lively green building on the street, and the girls were whispering softly and singing gentle tunes.

In front of a land temple by a small river, people are burning incense, and believing men and women are kowtowing and bowing religiously.

Behind him, a group of candy sellers with children, pushing small carts, shouting and smiling at the oncoming rattle porters, passed by.

But in this ordinary day, if you look carefully, you can find some changes, whether it is the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, or the teahouse restaurant, or in front of the land temple, the ordinary and rare elegant scholars suddenly began to become more and more, becoming a scenery in Huaning City.

Some of them are chic, some are handsome, between words and laughter, they are full of spirit, pointing to the mountains and rivers, and talking eloquently about the current peaceful and prosperous era faced by the Song Dynasty, as well as the news from the court that they occasionally hear.

Although these people have a little arrogance, they are dressed in green shirts, they look like jade trees are in the wind, and their temperament is indeed much better than other people.

Today is March 23rd, and in a few days, it will be the annual city meeting of Huaning City.

The poetry club is a stage for scholars.

Although the Great Song Dynasty founded the country with martial arts, in the past hundred years, the external Zhuyi have not acted for many years, and military equipment is no longer the mainstream.

With the favor of the above, the Great Song Dynasty successively had smooth winds and rains, abundant people, and a rapid expansion of the population, which has changed from more than 20 million at the beginning of the Song Dynasty to nearly 50 million now. The society has been stabilized and the population is increasing, so it is of course better for the literati to govern the country and the country.

Since the reign of Yingzong, three major projects have been set for the imperial examination, economic development, countermeasures and poetry.

The status of poetry has been unprecedentedly elevated, and now, every reader has a compulsory course for the way of poetry and books.

Two hundred miles away from Huaning City, is the famous Jiangning Mansion, Jiangning is a talented son in the world, known as one of the two pinnacles of poetry in the Great Song Dynasty, Jiangning occupies one of them, and the other place is the Huanghuang Great Song Dynasty Jingshi, the towering imperial city of Bianliang.

One side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, Jiangning is a talented son in the world, and Huaning City, which is quite close to Jiangning, is also popular in poetry, and there are quite literary talents.

On the occasion of the city meeting, it was very lively, not only those gentry and wealthy businessmen in the city participated, but also those respected veterans and county magistrates, who also came to sit.

If the scholars and talents come out with a poem, everyone will judge it, and if they are favored by those old officials or even the county magistrates, they will praise the last two sentences, or reward something.

This is extremely important for readers.

The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty was divided into three levels, the first level was the examination at the state and county level, and the person in charge was the county order and those respected city elders.

Imagine, if a scholar is favored by these big names at the poetry meeting, what will happen to him when he takes the imperial examination in the future?

The biggest possibility is to break through in one fell swoop! Fame and fortune!

Most of the scholars have begun to make careful preparations, looking forward to soaring to the sky and stepping on the road to prosperity.

On the street, Li Nianxian hurriedly walked by.

In the nearby teahouse, near the window, a handsome scholar dressed in a royal blue robe, with a white face, his eyes lit up instantly, his fingers lightly buttoned the table, his eyes were faint, and he asked his companion: "Brother Chen, this girl outside looks very strange, does Brother Chen know whose daughter she is?" ”。

The scholar surnamed Chen Mingheng glanced out and said with a smile: "Brother Ziyang, you don't know this eldest lady, no wonder Brother Ziyang can make such good poems, it seems that this is without leaving home, and all his thoughts are on books."

Chen Heng joked, and then said: "This stunning name Li Nianxian is the daughter of the Li Mansion in Huiyun Lane, and the most beloved granddaughter of the head of the Li family.

Looking at the blue-shirted scholar looking at Li Nianxian's gaze, Chen Heng realized something, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, revealing a knowing smile, and said: "Brother Ziyang, you are a recognized talent in our Huaning City, you have won the first place in the poetry club for two consecutive years, and the county magistrate also appreciates you, Brother Ziyang is rich and glorious, and it has been in the past two years, I believe you just need to nod, in Huaning City, I don't know how many ladies are willing to give them a hug, what's the matter, is it a fancy to this girl?" ”。

Lin Ziyang smiled on his seductive face and said, "Brother Chen, don't make fun of me, I, Lin Ziyang, have been poor since I was a child, and I have nothing except for reading a few volumes of poetry and books, where is I worthy of the daughter of the Li Mansion?" Drink tea, drink tea ......".

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, but his eyes inadvertently looked out the window, but Li Nianxian was in a hurry and had already disappeared into the street.

The figures on the street swayed, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and he could only withdraw his gaze.

Li Nianxian walked all the way to a tea shop located in the bustling area of Huaning City, and as soon as he entered the tea shop, the guy inside greeted him anxiously and shouted: "Miss, the goods have been returned to fifty catties of ......."

"What tea?" , Li Nianxian didn't stop, and walked directly inside.

The guy also followed behind her and said, "Ordinary flower tea."

"Did the other party say what was the reason?" , Li Nianxian heard that it was an ordinary flower tea, and his frowning brows were slightly relaxed, among the tea leaves, the output of flower tea is the largest, not precious, it is generally sold in the countryside, and the people in the city buy less.

Fifty catties of flower tea is acceptable, if it is other teas, it will have a huge impact, to be serious, she is busy all day is light.

"The other party said that he was in the countryside, and he had already bought a better kind of tea, and the price was about the same as the price we sold here, so he came to return it", the guy was sweating profusely.

"Country!? Do you know which town it is? Li Nianxian was taken aback, in the tea shop in the countryside, it is rare to be able to eat such a large order, because those rich people also regard themselves as people with status, and they think that the things in the city are good things, and they buy goods in Huaning City.

"It seems to be the town of green camels."

Li Nianxian frowned again, her willow eyebrows condensed, and her mood was a lot heavier, if she remembered correctly, Qingtuo Town was Li Shanlong's business scope.

All the way to the back of the tea shop, which was a room for guests to rest, Li Nianxian pushed the door straight and walked in.

Inside, a white and chubby middle-aged woman was sitting at the table drinking tea, and behind the middle-aged woman, her father-in-law was laughing and kneading her shoulders.

Seeing this scene, Li Nianxian hesitated for a moment before saying to the woman: "This sister, I am the steward of the tea shop, I don't know where our flower tea here is not to your liking, why should you return it?" ”。

When the middle-aged woman saw Li Nianxian coming in, her eyes turned carefully around her face and body, her eyes were quietly revealed, her eyes were red, she didn't pay attention to Li Nianxian at all, she reached out and twisted the man's ears, and said spicily: "Okay, I said why don't you leave the nearby tea shop, you have to come to Huaning City to buy tea, you have ulterior motives!" Good! Good! Good! Wang Dafu, you can do it! My little orchid won't live with you! ”。

The man named Wang Dafu shouted again and again, begging for mercy: "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I've never seen this girl at all, Xianggong, I'm just thinking that you want to drink tea, how can I buy you defective products, of course, only things in the city are worthy of you! ”。

"I don't believe it, not a word! You are just fascinated by her, otherwise even if you buy it in the city, you don't have to come here, you have no conscience, I want to rub my little orchid Jiaojiao beauty, who is not rare in ten miles and eight towns, there are hundreds of people chasing me, I am really blind and married you, Wang Dafu, I am not finished with you! ”。

The husband and wife, the husband is thin and weak, but the wife is fat and strong, and when the fight started, Wang Dafu surrendered instantly and was beaten in a mess.

"A good wife...... Stop it, don't buy it here, return it, can't we return it......".
