The next morning, Liu Yuanshan simply brushed his teeth with a simple toothbrush made by himself dipped in fine salt, and then opened the door after washing his face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Outside the door, the north wind howled angrily, and the wind carried the snow in the sky, and a thin bamboo in the corner of the wall was bent down and fell to the ground.

"I'm leaving today!" Li Zheng knocked on the cigarette pouch, put on a heavy cotton jacket and turned around outside, his face was a little gloomy.

On this kind of snowy day, even if everyone doesn't stop, it will be dark when they return to Liujia Village.

Not long after, a monk sent two pots of millet porridge and a steamed bun per person, as well as a large plate of pickled side dishes, which looked full of color and flavor, although it was a vegetarian diet, it also made people doubly appetizing.

Several people hurriedly finished eating, and Wang Xiucai said: "I can't leave today, so early in the morning, the county ordered Lord Huang to send someone over, and asked me to go to the west garden of the temple to participate in the literati meeting." ”

"Huh!" Li Zheng didn't have a little temper when he heard this, Lord Huang is the county commander and the leader of the entire Fang County.

"It's good!" The men below looked at Wang Xiucai with a smile, and they were very happy, if nothing else, they couldn't eat such a good yellow and white rice porridge at home, and they couldn't guarantee that they could eat enough.

Here's the point: three meals a day!

"You're going with me, too!" Wang Xiucai pointed at Liu Yuanshan and said: "Although I have just learned now, this kind of scene will have to be seen sooner or later, and it is better to see it earlier, it will be very helpful for your future career." ”

Liu Yuanshan smiled bitterly, and secretly said that Lao Tzu didn't plan to take the imperial examination, the Ming Dynasty is going to perish, and I have an egg for the imperial examination? But he said, "Okay, the student listens to Mr." ”

"Don't be so resentful, it's good for you, let's go!" Liu Yuanshan listened to this classic episode of modern society, and followed Wang Xun like a fart.

Walking out of the house, the wind and snow outside seemed to be suddenly tight, Liu Yuanshan wrapped the thick clothes on his body, and still couldn't help but shiver, stepping on the creaking snow, walking around the temple for a long time, and finally came to this so-called West Garden.

The West Garden is not big or small, covers an area of about four or five acres, there is a curved corridor in the middle, and a pavilion is set up somewhere, which is a real pavilion in this ice and snow weather.

The corridor divides the west garden into two, on the left is a pond full of white thatched reeds, under the wind and snow, it is slightly desolate, on the right side the bamboo and plum grow together, several old plum trees have dead branches and new flowers just right, the plum blossoms are red and white, bloom on the dead branches that are curved and upward, but there is some indescribable life force.

As for the few thin bamboos at the very edge, they were no different from those outside Liu Yuanshan's guest room, and they were pressed down by the snow, and some even broke off from the middle, looking like overwhelmed camels.

Of course, on such a cold day, no one is stupid enough to sit in the gazebo and enjoy the snow and plum blossoms, and the real place for literati to meet is on the second floor of a small building at the back.

Wang Xiucai went upstairs under the guidance of a small novice, entered a large room on the second floor, and found that he could see almost the entire West Garden from the window.

"Shigong is here, take a seat quickly!" In the room, an official in his fifties dressed in red official mansion shouted at Wang Xiucai, and Liu Yuanshan knew that the Shigong in his mouth was originally talking about his husband.

It wasn't until today that he didn't know that Wang Xiu was called Wang Xun, the word Shigong!

What a utilitarian name!

Liu Yuanshan thought about it, sat next to Wang Xiucai, looked to the side from time to time, and found that there were already more than a dozen literati here, basically dressed in the same color, with long coats, and at most a rather elaborate coat outside. The color is either cyan or white, which is very monotonous.

After Wang Xiucai came, he began to get close to many people he knew, talking about relationships, and he also knew many people here.

This product is a bad student, belonging to the top-notch kind of talent, and there is a great possibility that he will be selected in one fell swoop in next year's examination, so usually even Lord Huang of Zhixian County will look up to him.

As time went on, more and more people came, and the seats below gradually filled up, except for the top spot, which was covered with bright yellow satin, which was surprising at first sight.

The bright yellow thing was a royal patent in the Ming Dynasty.

After pondering Liu Yuanshan for a while, he knew the truth of this matter, it should be that the so-called King Xiang did not leave, and stayed here to make up for the heat.

"Alright guys!" Lord Huang waved his hand and said, "I see that everyone has arrived, please come out, and our Xuemeiya meeting will begin." ”

A maid walked into the warm pavilion at the back of the hall, and after a while, the tall and slightly chubby Xiangwang Zhu Yiming came out of it with a few people, and everyone quickly got up and saluted.

Zhu Yiming said: "Let's all be exempt, you are all meritorious people, but the pillars of the country, and the widows are just making up a number, so let's start the meeting." ”

Everyone sat down, and Liu Yuanshan's eyes looked over there.

Zhu Yiming sat on the main seat, on the left was a young son, looking at his dress and appearance, most of them were the sons of this old man, and on the right was an old acquaintance, who was still a little county lord dressed as a man.

But this time, the little county lord's dress seems to be, well, it seems, it's better.

When looking at her, the little county lord's eyes also looked at Liu Yuanshan, and he smiled wickedly, revealing two rows of white white teeth.

In addition to his children, there was another person who came out with King Xiang, dressed like a rich son, and after coming to the hall with King Xiang at this moment, he was a little anxious.

Ye Yunhe is a native of Fang County, his family has a crude medicine shop in the county, and he also has a medicinal herb store in Xiangyang Mansion. This indirectly shows how profitable it is to open a pharmacy.

This time King Xiang came to the temple to offer incense, and he spent a lot of money to finally get married to the son Zhu Changcheng, and through this opportunity to enter the warm pavilion and get the personal reception of King Xiang.

The purpose of his approach to Xiangwang's Mansion was to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix.

This is not wishful thinking, in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's wife and the princess's concubine were all from the people, and Jiajing's daughter was married to a strange family.

With such customs, there are naturally many people who make up their minds.

Ye Yunhe was dignified, thinking that he was still comfortable conquering a little Loli who was less than sixteen years old, and when he was talking just now, the little county lord also said a few words to him, he thought that Zhu Xuanqing had a good impression of him.

I was happy, but when I got out of the warm pavilion, I encountered a more embarrassing thing: there was no seat.

He is dignified Ye Yunhe, but he wants to conquer the county lord, how can he lose face at this literati meeting?

Ye Yunhe's brain was spinning rapidly, and at the same time, his eyes were looking at them one by one.

If I'm not mistaken, today's seats are based on the number of participants, and there should not be one less seat per person, since there are many people who naturally occupy the one that belongs to him.

Ye Yunhe's eyes glanced at the crowd, and he saw the target at a glance.

There is no way, there are only a few famous scholars in the entire Fang County, and it is impossible for him to know him or not, but when he saw Liu Yuanshan, he understood.

So, Ye Yunhe walked straight in front of Liu Yuanshan, and said to Liu Yuanshan, who was happily stuffing fruit into his mouth: "Ahem, little guy, you occupy my place!" ”
