Chapter 14: The Fifteenth Moon
The moon slowly rises from the top of the mountain, emitting a cold glow. The 10,000-point stars are like night pearls scattered on the sky, shining with brilliant silver light.
The moon that was supposed to be a jade plate was not so round, and the corner of the moon was faint, and a cloud moved gently towards the moon, and the moon appeared from time to time.
Liu Yutang helped Gu Yanzhong to slowly come to the place of the night banquet in the East Courtyard.
Gu Yanzhong and Liu Yutang did not walk from the main gate of the East Courtyard, but walked back from the path that Liu Yutang had just run out of.
Gu Yanzhong thought as he walked, this banquet was not only attended by guests, but also officials. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, if he told Fang Tianruo's tricks in front of everyone, what would be the result.
However, then again, he didn't have any evidence that Fang Tianruo had thrown himself into the well.
As for that family member, he didn't know what his surname was at all, even if he knew who his surname was, so what, Fang Tianruo would definitely say that he was spewing blood.
There's no evidence at the moment, so it's better to swallow this breath first. Could it be that he said that he ran to the north courtyard and accidentally fell into a dry well? No, how can you swallow this breath!
However, this night banquet is extraordinary, and if you want to stand out in front of Zhang Dan, you must make a brilliant appearance at this banquet.
Liu Yutang helped Gu Yanzhong, and unconsciously arrived at the place where the door was gathered.
Liu Yutang said very angrily: "Brother Gu, I will seek justice for you in front of Master Zhang." ”
Gu Yanzhong pulled Liu Yutang and said, "Don't worry, let's take a look first." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhang Duan raise his wine glass, look at the moon, and say with a slight smile on his face: "I heard that this competition between the doormen and guests is compared to 'Yongyue', and the first guest is Fang Gongzi, why don't Fang Gongzi not recite the 'Yongyue' poem you made in front of everyone." ”
Zhang Dian said and looked at Fang Tianruo.
Fang Tianruo stood up, saluted and said, "That villain is ugly." ”
"Wait!" He Changyan stood up from his seat, walked directly to Zhang Dian, saluted, and was a little puzzled, "Master Zhang, is this a mistake?" ”
"Oh?" Zhang Dian looked at He Changyan suspiciously, "What does the champion mean?" ”
Fang Tianruo looked at He Changyan, gritted his teeth tightly, and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, Lao Tzu is so secret, I forgot about this person." He'd better not talk nonsense. ”
He Changyan was blunt and said: "My lord, that day, the villain had the honor to be the judge of the doorman competition, and he saw with his own eyes that Gu Yanzhong's son was talented and won the title of the first guest, not Fang Gongzi. ”
Zhang Dian looked at Fang Tianruo suspiciously, then looked at He Changyan, and thought: Gu Yanzhong, who is this Gu Yanzhong?
He turned his head to look at the black mole girl next to him, who stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
Zhang Duan nodded, looked at Gu Yanzhong, and then looked at the torture.
Fang Tianruo hurriedly explained, "My lord, here's the thing, Gu Gongzi has already left the Zhang Mansion. Naturally, I became the first guest. ”
When Gu Yanzhong heard Fang Tianruo's words, he was very surprised in his heart, this matter of human life, he just explained it with such an understatement, and his face was not red or his heart was beating when he spoke.
Gu Yanzhong squinted his eyes, his fists slowly clenched, he really deserved to be a master of acting.
He Changyan looked at Fang Tianruo strangely, and said in surprise: "Gone?" Why! ”
Fang Tianruo said with a wicked smile on his face: "I don't know about this, I went to inform him to attend Master Zhang's night banquet on time this morning, and I knew that Gu Gongzi had left." If He Zhuangyuan doesn't believe it, he can go to the mansion to take a look, Gu Gongzi is indeed no longer in the Zhangdun Mansion. ”
Fang Tianruo said as he spoke, and said secretly in his heart: I'm afraid his soul has already gone to the Lord of Yama to report, you'd better follow him to the Netherworld Mansion to be your champion.
He Changyan looked at Fang Tianruo suspiciously, not believing his words at all, and continued to ask, "Why are you leaving?" ”
He saluted Zhang Dian again and said: "Master Zhang, I think there must be something strange about this matter, Gu Gongzi is a talent, and he is a person from your house, it is inconvenient for the lower officials to interfere, so I implore Lord Zhang to send someone to investigate clearly." ”
Fang Tianruo hurriedly blocked He Changyan's mouth, took over and said, "My lord, Gu Gongzi left something to say before leaving, he left because there was an urgent matter at home. ”
He said and glared at He Changyan and said, "He Zhuangyuan, you better take care of your own affairs." ”
He Changyan did not show weakness, stared at Fang Tianruo with wide eyes and said, "If Master Zhang doesn't ask, the lower officials will track down his whereabouts in the name of Gu Gongzi's friend." ”
Fang Tianruo was speechless for a while, his body leaned forward slightly, and his eyes widened with all his might.
"Alright, alright. I'll send someone to inquire about this later. Don't hurt the peace. Zhang Dan said.
Xing Shu also came up to pull He Changyan and said, "Champion, champion, I think you should sit down first." ”
Xing Shu said and gave Fang Tianruo another look.
Since Zhang Dian said so, He Changyan couldn't say anything more, so he had to retreat first.
Zhang Dian looked at Fang Tianruo, what the hell was going on, he could probably guess a few points. It's nothing more than Fang Tianruo driving people away, just drive them away, just a doorman.
If Fang Tian is his own confidant, it is impossible for him to hurt his own people for the sake of outsiders.
What's more, he was now worrying about another thing in his heart.
Zhang Duan raised his wine, "Come on, come on, I'll toast everyone first!" He said with a glass of wine.
He tapped his fingers on the edge of the table from time to time, and said thoughtfully: "As the saying goes, the moon is full on August 15, why is the moon not full tonight, and what do you think?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the doormen present all whispered, and no one dared to say a word.
Fang Tianruo looked at Zhang Dian with a sad look on his face, he knew that Zhang Dian had been worried about the affairs of the imperial court recently.
He looked up at the moon again, and it was about the same every year. Zhang Dian is borrowing words again.
He has been by his side for many years, and he already knows every move, look, and smile of Zhang.
He hurriedly pandered, "My lord, I don't think it's a good omen. ”
Those present nodded their heads in accord.
Zhang Dian shrugged his face, very unhappy, nodded, and said, "I see, it's not a good omen!" ”
Zhang Dian said: "Last month, it was too daylight. A few days ago, the comet came out of the West. ”
A doorman at the scene blurted out: "It's too daylight, maybe there will be a fatality." ”
"Huh?" Zhang Dun's whole face completely pulled down, and he scolded sharply, "Drag it out!" ”
The man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Zhang Dian had no pity, and the guests were in awe.
Fang Tianruo hurriedly dissuaded: "My lord, stop your anger, stop your anger!" ”
Zhang Dian sighed and said, "A few days ago, I came out of the West. I don't think that's a good thing. Ladies and gentlemen, you should pay attention to all aspects of the recent developments. ”
Gu Yanzhong looked at the expression on Zhang Dan's face, and began to guess in his heart that when the doorman said "the disaster of killing" just now, a trace of horror quickly flashed on Zhang Dan's face, obviously he was afraid that he would be killed.
Now that he is saying this again, there must be something in his heart.
In the fourth year of Shaosheng, the emperor has begun to reject him, and Zhang Dian is looking for a new backer. Who is this backer? He thought about it, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and I would know it if I tried him.
"My lord, I think this is a good omen!" Gu Yanzhong stood up from behind and said with great confidence.
Everyone looked behind them.
Liu Yutang helped Gu Yanzhong to walk forward slowly, Gu Yanzhong bowed and continued: "My lord, the words are indeed the moon on the fifteenth day of August. However, there is also a saying that the moon on the fifteenth is sixteen round, and the moon is not full tonight, which is a normal situation, and it will be full tomorrow. ”
"Oh?" Zhang Dian looked at Gu Yanzhong suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”
Zhang Dan's words were like a block of ice, and Gu Yan was cool in the center, and it seemed that Zhang Duan had completely forgotten himself. Fortunately, he came out by himself, and if he waited for Zhang Dian to come to him, it is estimated that he would have turned into soil in the dry well, and he had not yet come.
The black mole boy hurriedly whispered in Zhang's ear.
Zhang Dian frowned, thought for a moment, nodded, looked at Gu Yanzhong from the head again, and said, "It's the son who is good at writing Wang Xizhi's calligraphy." ”
When Gu Yanzhong heard this, his heart instantly relaxed.
Fang Tianruo watched Gu Yanzhong jump out inexplicably, and was very surprised in his heart. Zhang Dian asked this again, and he didn't know how Gu Yanzhong would answer this question.
He hurriedly pulled Gu Yanzhong up and said, "Brother Gu, why are your clothes all dirt, isn't this the face of Lord Zhang?" ”
Gu Yanzhong glanced at Fang Tianruo, smiled at him reluctantly, and said, "This is going to ask Fang Gongzi!" ”
Fang Tianruo glanced at Zhang Dan, and hurriedly said, "Brother Gu is really joking, how can I know?" ”
Zhang Dian was not in the mood to pay attention to the conversation between them, he looked at Gu Yanzhong seriously and asked, "You just said that it was a good omen, how can you say this?" ”
Gu Yanzhong had already filtered out the important things in the past two or three years in his mind, and excluded things that had nothing to do with Zhang Dian.
At this time, it was autumn again, and in the end he decided that Zhang Dian must be worried about Empress Liu's affairs. However, at this time, she is not a queen, but a virtuous concubine.
He couldn't say this directly, so he could only tell Zhang Duan vaguely.
"Lord Zhang, Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty, the concubine, the queen, and the last emperor when I was too daylight. Therefore, seeing it in the daylight is not a bad appearance, but a good omen for some things. ”
The expression on Zhang's face was obviously much soothed, and a casual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The same thing is good for some people; Some people are just bad things. As he spoke, he approached Zhang Dian a little and whispered, "Judging from these events recorded in history, maybe the emperor will canonize a certain concubine in the near future." ”
When Zhang Dian heard this, the wine glass in his hand suddenly slipped down, and fell to the ground with a "dang" sound.
Gu Yanzhong looked at the surprised look on Zhang Dan's face, and his heart was even more confident.
He continued to say with great confidence: "As for the comet coming out of the West, my lord, I don't know that this comet is a natural phenomenon. It is known as Halley's Comet. His average cycle of movement is 76 to 79 years. China has been recorded in the Qin Dynasty, in 240 BC, in the seventh year of the reign of King Qin. What Xiaosheng said, adults can check the historical records. ”
Zhang Dian turned his eyes to look at the butler next to him, the butler retreated slightly, and after a while, he replied in Zhang Tun's ear.
Zhang Dian nodded, looked at Gu Yanzhong, and said, "I see, Gu Gongzi is really talented. ”
Gu Yanzhong looked at Zhang Dan, saluted and said, "My lord, Xiaosheng also has a talent that has never been shown in front of others, can adults be interested in watching it?" ”
