In February and March, it is the season when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, after going ashore, Han Rui walks along the stone bridge, and the fragrance of the apricot blossoms is mixed with the willows, the willows are green, the weather is warmer, the spring breeze is blowing, the scenery is intoxicating, accompanied by the fragrance of the willows, the cutting is light and the breeze is fine, leisurely wandering in the spring, how comfortable it feels.

Carrying a bamboo basket, Han Rui walked along the boulevard and walked towards the manor, the morning fog did not disperse, a gust of wind swept in, the branches and leaves were raised, and the white/pink delicate petals and stamens fluttered in the air, like rain and snow, Sese fell, carrying the crystal dew stained at night, dripping on Han Rui's body, leaving a little imprint.

Just when Han Rui was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the trees, inside and outside the manor, it was a different situation.

Today is the birthday of Master Yan, and there have been rumors in private among scholars and scholars of official learning that if they are appreciated by Xuezheng, it is equivalent to stepping into the official door with one foot, as long as the other foot is brought in, although this is not necessarily the case, but it can also be seen from the extraordinaryness of Master Yan.

In fact, the most important thing is that as long as you have a good relationship with him and catch up with him, you can meet Yan Shigu, the secretary and young eunuch who is far away in the capital, through this channel, and it will naturally be easier to participate in the imperial examination in the future, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a smooth road.

Therefore, at this time, the Yan family manor is very lively, the east has just been spit out, it has been crowded with scholars who came to celebrate the birthday, and now it is even worse, even the manor can not accommodate many guests, and can only be placed in the open space behind the house in front of the courtyard, dozens of young people are gathered together, all of them are scholars and scholars in the official school, and naturally it is inevitable to talk about the past and the present, talk about the world, or fellow villagers, or classmates and friends, three or five groups of people gathered together, and talked endlessly.

But there are also a few people who are not social, they are not born with a lonely surname, they don't want to talk to people, someone next to them greets and greets, and a few people also know the gentle return gift, but for some reason, they did not join the chat team, but walked around in front of the hospital, looked at each guest who came in like a thief, carefully checked the invitation, fortunately the attitude was good, polite, otherwise everyone thought they were looking for the enemy.

This is just a small episode, others know that these people are the proud protégés of Master Yan, thinking that the reason why they are so conscientious is that they are afraid that some idle people will get into the birthday banquet and make trouble, and more importantly, it is to show in front of people, so that everyone knows how close their relationship with the Yan family is.

After all, the anti-guest-oriented behavior is not something that ordinary people can do, in this regard, everyone below has different expressions, or calm and unwavering, or expressing disdain, in fact, they don't know how envious and jealous they are, however, they are misunderstood, if someone hears the conversation between these people, they will understand what is going on.

"Brother Ding, how is it, have you found that person?"

"I didn't see it."

"Alas, it's all to blame on that guy, I can't tell what he looks like, how can people recognize him."

"Invitation, that invitation, everyone knows the teacher's handwriting."

Several people agreed in unison, shook their heads, sobered up a little, and continued to investigate, hundreds of invitations to the banquet were issued, but there were very few written by Master Yan himself, they were all high-ranking officials and celebrities in Yangzhou, they naturally knew each other, and now they just need to find out the person who has never seen before.

It sounds simple, but it's not easy to do, the news of the birthday of the great Confucian teacher and friend has been spread all over Yangzhou City, and he feels a little bit of identity, whether it has anything to do with it or not, he didn't get the invitation, he came with gifts, and he calculated that at this festive moment, the Yan family would definitely not turn away the guests.

It's only been one morning, and more than 100 people have come in, so that a few people can see that their eyes are sore, and their tears are flowing, and they still can't find the bastard who defiles the beauty, and secretly wonders if they have missed it, and they are irritable, but a few people still refuse to give up, rub their eyes, wipe away their tears, and continue to identify.

There are too many people, like a surge of inflow, wave after wave, so that several people are overwhelmed, and finally think of a more time-saving and labor-saving way, that is, to watch the invitation first, and only look up at the person when they find the handwriting of Master Yan, but the result is often disappointed for them, slowly, several people are mentally exhausted, and the action of watching the invitation becomes a mechanical instinct.

At this time, another guest came, a young man took the invitation casually, glanced at the customary surname, handed it back, looked up, and said lazily: "Welcome to your visit, please come in...... Wait, that's him! Screaming, the young man stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Rui, looking excited, as if he had seen a long-lost relative.

“…… Invitation...... People, no...... Finally found it. The young man said incoherently to his companion next to him, full of excitement to keep the clouds open and see the moon.

In an instant, several young people were in good spirits, crowded to the person's side, and scrambled to watch the invitation, there is no doubt that it is the teacher's handwriting, and compared with Han Rui's appearance, he has indeed not seen it, so in this way, there is no doubt that this person is the culprit that everyone is looking for.

"Guys, what, do you want my help with something?" Han Rui tried to ask, it was also inexplicable for a while, I didn't understand what was wrong, could it be that the invitation was wrong, it was someone's prank, and he was deceived?

"It's you......" seemed to be afraid that Han Rui would escape, several young people hurriedly stepped forward, surrounded Han Rui, but they were stunned for a while, looking at each other, this is also a common problem of readers, doing things often without careful consideration, just on the spur of the moment, without a careful plan, now people are looking for it, and next, they don't know what to do.

Group fighting? No, the idea came to mind, and a few young people immediately vetoed it, thinking that such a thing with Confucianism was done by someone in my generation, and he was not allowed to participate in the birthday banquet, the idea was very tempting, but it was also difficult, they did not have the courage to blow away the guests invited by the teacher.

"It's okay, I'm leaving?" Han Rui frowned and said.

"Nope." Several young people refused in unison, but they didn't do anything, just let go of the pass, they were even more unwilling, if they did this, not to mention the things that insulted the beauty, they were tired for most of the day, but they got the result of mediocrity, and several people were unwilling anyway.

Just when they were at a stalemate, they also attracted the attention of some scholars and scholars next to them, but they were just surprised, and they didn't come over to ask what was going on, but at this time, another guest came, and there were three or five servants behind him, holding a few ribbons of joy ribbons, and walked quickly, and said with a smile from a distance: "A few senior brothers, the younger brother is back, a little late, and I ask for forgiveness, fortunately, there was no delay...... It's you! ”

"You know?" A young man frowned and said, then you can be accommodating, let him go temporarily, and at the same time take the opportunity to step down
