Wang Yuan nodded and followed the servant into the garden. The garden is also simple, and the scenery outside is no different, but there are more pavilions and pavilions, which is redundant in Wang Yuan's opinion.

After walking along a winding road for a while, a vertical arch flower gate appeared in front of him, and the servant led Wang Yuan into the vertical gate, and the scenery here was different from the outside. But seeing a small arch bridge inside the door crossing a small river that was Zhang Xu Kuan, Wang Yuan saw that the river under the bridge was flowing from north to south, and it turned out to be living water. Further on, in the gap between the willow trees, you can see a reckless river flowing in front of you, and it has reached the edge of the Bahe River, Wang Yuan suddenly understood the origin of the small river. It turned out to be a small man-made river that had been dug somewhere upstream and brought into the garden, and it happened to circle the garden, needless to say, it must have rejoined the river somewhere below.

"Wang Gongzi sits here for a while, and enjoys tea and snacks at will." The servant walked away.

In front of the large open space, the morning sun shines down directly on the tender green grass, several rows of long rows are placed on the grass, covered with red silk cloth, and colorful spring benches are placed on both sides. The silk cloth was lined with silver cups and plates, and mountains of pastries and fruits were piled up.

Seven or eight maidservants were shuttling through the grass, busily adjusting the position of the tables and chairs and the placement of snacks on the table. A huge gazebo not far away is also busy.

Wang Yuan didn't know where he should move for a while, it wasn't stage fright, but he came with a purpose today, he couldn't do his own thing, everything had to be done according to the rules.

However, Wang Yuan quickly found the direction, and on the edge of a table sat a thin old man in a gray robe, wearing a black scarf and hat, and the whole person looked a little like the literati he had seen in the poetry club, and at the moment the man was sitting quietly drinking tea, ignoring the maidservants shuttling beside him.

Wang Yuan hurriedly walked over and sat down on the stool beside him, this old man seemed to be a guest, there must be nothing wrong with sitting next to him. The old man saw Wang Yuan sitting beside him, only squinting at himself, so he drank tea by himself, Wang Yuan wanted to say a few words to him, 'The weather is good today' or something like that, but seeing that people didn't seem to be interested, he also gave up.

So I sat here and waited, the tea was not appetizing, and the snacks and fruits could not really be moved, and I felt bored and boring. I don't know how long it took, in Wang Yuan's opinion, it seemed like a few hours, just when Wang Yuan was extremely bored and wanted to get up and walk around to see the surrounding scenery, he only heard laughter and joy faintly in the distance. The gray-clothed old man beside him slowly stood up and straightened his clothes and hats, and the busy maidservants next to him also quickly stood in a row and hung their heads still, Wang Yuan realized that Yang Yuyao, the long-famous lady of the Kingdom of Qiu, was afraid that she was about to arrive.

The sound of laughter at the entrance of the West Head Vertical Gate suddenly rose, and the honor guard fan raised high above the arch bridge revealed a round corner, and after a while, dozens of women in colorful clothes slowly showed their heads and faces, and for a time the fragrant wind was clanging.

The morning sun shone on the heads of the women, but the gold and silver ornaments on their heads sparkled, and the gold ribbons on their clothes dazzled. Laughter and laughter continued between the walks, and after gossiping, burst into laughter from time to time, appearing to be at ease and leisurely, as if no one was around.

The two women who walked in the middle surrounded by everyone, one was dressed in a pink shirt, beautiful and cute. Another woman was dressed in a yellow Luo shawl, with a colorful phoenix and golden hairpin on the trembling falling horse bun on her head, and peach petals on her eyebrows.

Wang Yuan doesn't know who is Yang Yuyao, the wife of the country, but judging from her appearance, she is afraid that she is undoubtedly a woman in a yellow shirt, because regardless of her appearance and dress, just looking at the attitude of the people next to her and looking at her eyes, she also knows that she is the absolute protagonist here. Except for Mrs. Qiuguo, who can be the only person who attracts attention here.

The two women got off the arched bridge and walked towards the clearing, followed by a large group of male and female guests, Wang Yuan saw Yang Zhao's figure following the side of the two women, talking to the woman in yellow shirt in a low voice, and pointed to himself. Wang Yuan seemed to see the yellow-shirted woman's gaze glancing at him, and seemed to nod slightly.

Everyone came to the open space, after the two women stood still, everyone automatically stopped laughing and stood respectfully, and the woman in the yellow shirt opened her red lips slightly and said: "Today, March 3rd, please come to the green and get together, you don't have to be restrained, just have fun." You eat some tea and snacks here first, my eighth sister and I are a little tired from the city, and we will go to the Liuying Pavilion to rest for a while, and then come to talk to you later, you can do your own thing. ”

Everyone said yes and bowed to each other. The woman in the yellow shirt hooked the arm of the woman in the pink shirt, and the two of them turned around and walked towards the gazebo in the distance. At this time, Wang Yuan basically figured out the identities of the two women, the woman in the yellow shirt must be Mrs. Qiu, and the woman in the pink shirt, known as the eighth sister, must be Mrs. Qin.

Yang Zhao naturally accompanied his two cousins to the pavilion to rest, and the handsome men and beauties here immediately automatically entered the table, instantly filling up a few long tables, and the maids stepped forward to pour tea and wait, and this group of men and women drank tea and ate snacks, laughed and laughed and laughed instantly.

"Gongzi Zhou, I heard that you recently got a treasure that day, did you bring it to us today?" A woman spoke coquettishly.

"Hahaha, is this also worth showing off? It's just a red coral that's more than three feet high, and it's not convenient to bring it, and it's not worth showing off. A young man in fancy clothes replied with a smile.

"Yo, what a big breath, three-foot-tall red coral isn't worth showing off? If you are not rare, give it to the slave to play with. The delicate woman rolled her eyes.

"Hehe, Huang Siniang, it's okay to send you, but I can't give it to you for nothing, what do you get in exchange? Your Huang family is also a big family in Chang'an, so it's not good to take my things for nothing. ”

"Phew, look at your stingy appearance, this girl is not rare in your coral, but she is just testing you, and this is going to be a condition, it's really boring." The delicate woman pretended to be unhappy.

"Don't you understand what Zhou Gongzi means? Siniang, don't you just give him some sweetness, Zhou Gongzi has been following your ass for a few months, won't it hurt people's hearts if you don't give him some sweetness? Call the slave to see, today is a good day, simply ask the two ladies of the country to be the masters, you two are married here, and we will also eat your wedding wine. A woman in green grinned.

"Okay, good idea, Zhou Gongzi, Huang Siniang, just do it, you two in the province are flirting here, and we don't feel comfortable looking at it."

"Bah, you dogs can't spit out ivory, be careful that I tear your mouths." The delicate woman twisted her body and did not cling.

That Zhou Gongzi also laughed and teased: "As long as Siniang dares to marry, I dare to marry anyway, I can immediately order someone to fetch coral to give Siniang as a dowry." But it's too abrupt to get married here, this is Mrs. Guo's garden, and there is no cave room or anything, but how can you get married? ”

Another boy shouted, "What are you afraid of if you don't have a cave?" The sky is the seat of the earth, and the field is fought. ”

All the men and women burst into laughter, and the women all scolded coquettishly, seemingly disgusted, but in fact enjoying themselves; The young men naturally have no taboos, how to speak quickly, how to be comfortable, and at this moment, they slapped the table one by one and stomped their feet and laughed wildly.

They themselves were not embarrassed, only Wang Yuan and the old man in gray sitting next to him could not blend into the atmosphere, but they were a little embarrassed. Wang Yuan clearly heard the old man beside him let out a slight sigh, and seemed to be dissatisfied.

The men laughed at each other for a while and were bored with such a topic, plus a teenager went too far, and actually stretched out his mouth to kiss a woman next to him, and after being slapped by the woman, the atmosphere in the seat was slightly embarrassing. But they soon found new amusement, and they found that the two dull people at the table who did not belong to their small group were two old and young people sitting together in silence.

"Who are those two? How come you've never seen one? I didn't see You Chun last year. ”

"Yes, both of them are wearing cloth shirts, how can they be here in such shabby clothes?" A young girl frowned and said disdainfully.

The handsome young man looked at the old man for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, I know this old gentleman, I actually sat here for a long time before I recognized it, it's really rude for us to laugh here." ”

Everyone hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Wei Xiaohou Ye, who is he? ”

The young man known as Wei Xiaohou Ye stood up and walked towards the old man, and said, "If I am not mistaken, it is Li Guinian, I have seen you in the mansion of King Qi." ”

"Li Guinian?" Everyone was surprised.

Who doesn't know the Year of the Turtle? The more he is from a big family, the more he knows the name of Li Guinian, he is recognized as the first musician in the Tang Dynasty, not only the major princes' mansions worship him as a guest, but even His Majesty today also praises him very much, I didn't expect to be here today.

Wang Yuan was also a little surprised, the thin old man beside him was actually the famous Tang Dynasty No. 1 musician Li Guinian, which was really unexpected. Someone at the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference once said that if his "Untitled" poem could be invited to Li Guinian to compose the music, it would be a swan song in the world; Wang Yuan knew for the first time that Li Guinian also lived in this era. Later, when I thought about this in my spare time, I remembered a poem called "Jiangnan Feng Li Turtle Year" that was passed down to later generations, and then I really realized that this Li Turtle Year was really famous in this era.

The gray-clothed old man still had no expression on his face, but he also stood up and bowed his hand to the young man, and said in a hoarse voice: "Old man Li Guinian has seen Wei Xiaohou. ”

Wei Xiaohou said happily: "Rude and rude, we didn't see you just now, and there is no sense of proportion in talking and laughing with each other, I knew that you were always here, that is absolutely not so presumptuous, forgive your sins." ”
