Qixi said, Bianjing City is full of lights, so lively!

Since the garden party is going to be held in Jinmingchi, the city gate is also open as usual, adding a bit of festive atmosphere. The reason why Emperor Zhao Ji wanted to hold such a grand event on Qixi Festival was not only the so-called monarch and the people having fun, but also for a purpose, that is, to celebrate the effectiveness of the Qingmiao Law in the first half of the year.

From noon, there was an endless stream of people going out of the city to Jinmingchi to watch the scenery, and the road began to be a little congested. In desperation, Kaifeng Mansion sent hundreds of officers to the streets to maintain order. This is just the beginning, when the royal family members go out of the city at noon, there are even forbidden troops to go out under martial law and escort them all the way.

Although there are many people who go to watch, there are not many who can enter the range of Jinmingchi, after all, the number of people is limited. In addition, there are many members of the royal family and dignitaries who participate, and the security issue is really annoying. Therefore, the people who can enter are still selective, mainly officials and nobles, as well as some scholars and celebrities, and the common people are selectively entering.

There are a large number of forbidden troops around Jinmingchi, as well as many secret sentinels coming and going everywhere to maintain law and order. In the evening, Lin Zhao took Mu Sihong out. With the title of the baron of Qiantang County, and the former Qiantang County Order, Lin Gongzi will naturally not be hindered in the slightest from entering the range of Jinmingchi.

Lin Zhao pointed at Mu Sihong along the way: "This used to be a place for the naval army to train soldiers, and later it was changed to a royal garden, in March and April, the scenery is called a beauty, and I will definitely take you to see it next year!" ”

"It can be seen that the scenery of Jinming Pond is really beautiful, look at the lotus leaves of the pond, and those lotus flowers in early autumn...... "The scenery here is quite the meaning of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, coupled with the magnificent momentum of the royal garden, Mu Sihong can only feel very novel and shocking.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Over there is Qionglin Yuan, the official family will feast there every year, which is the greatest honor for the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to participate!" ”

"Lin Lang is much stronger than them, and he is more qualified to sit there!" Mu Sihong has absolute recognition of her husband's talent!

Lin Zhao smiled, and took Mu Sihong through the crowd, enjoying the beautiful scenery everywhere.

A number of painting boats ripple on the lake, many of which are royal and noble boats, which are particularly graceful and luxurious.

Because of the banquet given by the official family in the Linshui Palace, Mu Sihong must not be able to go, plus to meet some friends, it doesn't seem so appropriate to have a female dependent. After accompanying Mu Sihong for a period of time, Lin Zhao had to leave first, and when he left, he instructed Yu Xuan and Yutong to take care of and protect Mu Sihong.

Lin Zhao was walking towards the Linshui Palace, and he didn't want to meet a person on the way - Wang Yan, the son of Wang Anshi!

The meeting between the two was a bit unexpected, Wang Yan had long known the news of Lin Zhao's return to Bianjing, but they had not had any contact with each other before. Lin Zhao was misunderstood and didn't know how to explain to Wang Xianggong, and at the same time, he was deeply worried about whether the explanation would work? It is likely to be futile or even counterproductive.

Wang Yan still had some hope, if Lin Zhao came to the door to apologize after returning to Bianjing, or if there was any reasonable explanation, it would be completely understandable. Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great, Wang Yuanze has always adhered to the lessons of the sage, but unfortunately the result disappointed him.

"Brother Yuanze!"

"Dongyang!"

Although they are a little unhappy with each other, they still have to have the minimum etiquette to meet, and these two are definitely the leaders of the young generation and are knowledgeable.

"Let's talk if we have time!" Lin Zhao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Wang Yan to take the initiative to make such a request.

"Okay!"

Ignoring the bustling and somewhat noisy lake, the two sat on a rockery and chatted calmly.

"What did you mean by that......?" After taking his seat, Wang Yan went straight to the point and asked directly, some things had been bothering him for a long time.

"Seek truth from facts!"

Since Lin Zhao's reply was expected, and it was slightly stunned, Wang Yan smiled helplessly and said, "Can we talk openly and honestly today?" But because of Lu Jifu? ”

Lin Zhao was really a little surprised, why did he say that Lu Huiqing had gone up? That's what Wang Yan thinks? It's too much to look down on me Lin Zhao, right? However, this reminder really reminded him of the hatred with the Lu family brothers, for so long, he didn't see any action from the Lu brothers, could it be that this matter was just settled?

"Brother Yuan Ze, you think too much, I just wrote down what I saw and thought truthfully, there is no half-truth, and I ask Brother Yuan Ze and the boss to be cautious!" Lin Zhao's answer was very clear, some things had to be explained clearly in front of Wang Yan, and it could be regarded as trying to work hard again.

"Seek truth from facts?" Wang Yan sneered, noncommittal.

Lin Zhao said: "Brother Yuan Ze, I hope you understand, and tell the boss that the people below have distorted the meaning of the boss when implementing the Qingmiao Law, and I am afraid it will backfire in the long run." That's what I mean, I hope you understand! ”

There is a way that there is a father and there must be a son, and Wang Yan is also a little stubborn to a certain extent, although he can vaguely understand Lin Zhao. But in the matter of the Qingmiao Law, as well as the prosperity and glory of their Wang family, Wang Yan's attitude is very resolute!

Perhaps in his heart, he hoped that even if Lin Zhao didn't admit his mistakes, he should at least be soft, so that he could feel much better.

But no, Lin Zhao's attitude was very resolute!

This inevitably made Wang Yan feel a little uncomfortable and bored, and he could only listen to two or three points if he said ten words.

"Do it yourself!" Wang Yan got up and left such a sentence, and then turned to leave.

Lin Zhao was stunned for a long time, his mind was blank, and he was even a little stunned! Why is this happening? Do things in this world have to be incompatible? Why do you have to make it so clear? Or is Wang Anshi's father and son too weird? Lin Zhao didn't know the answer!

Helpless!

Lin Zhao let out a long sigh, walked a short distance forward, and saw the Chai Ruone brothers and sisters on a nearby platform.

Chai Minyan wore a purple dress, the evening breeze was light, the clothes were fluttering, and her posture was graceful, like a fairy. It's just that today she is still "shallow" to cover her face, blocking her peerless appearance, but her moving eyes are particularly attractive.

"Dongyang, it's here!" Chai Ruone greeted warmly.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "If it weren't for Brother Ruone's invitation, wouldn't you have to miss such a precious event!" ”

"Hey, it's just a joke!" Chai Ruone was telling the truth, Chai Minyan didn't really want to come, but he heard that there was an opportunity to meet Lin Zhao.

"What are you doing here?"

Chai Ruone smiled and said: "The Queen Mother will appear later, and ask the people present to write a poem and lyrics, and the theme is Qixi Festival!" ”

"Really?" Lin Zhao just replied lightly, and now he is really interested in this kind of thing.

Chai Ruone said: "What? Not interested? I heard that the Queen Mother came with the eldest princess of Shu Kingdom, and there are rumors that she wants to choose a son-in-law for the princess, so there are so many people who are gearing up to ask for the favor of the Queen Mother and the princess! ”

"Really?" Lin Zhao was still interested, it turned out that he was choosing a horse, which is no wonder. However, Lin Zhao didn't know what the eldest princess of Shu looked like, not to mention that she was already engaged to Meng Ruoying, so she was not interested in it.

was about to avoid it, but Chai Ruone said: "Dongyang, don't hurry to go, in fact, I and my sister appreciate Dongyang's literary talents...... "It's hard to create opportunities for them, it's a pity to waste it like this."

The core of this sentence is naturally the latter, Chai Minyan was a little embarrassed by his brother, but fortunately, the "shallow dew" covered his slightly reddened pretty face, so he had to say: "Yes, I heard that Lin Gongzi's literary style/flow, and now I finally have a chance to see ......"

It is already obvious below that the invitation of the beauty is naturally not easy to refuse, so Lin Zhao had to agree to it. At the same time, I began to recall the poems about Tanabata, and I could only do this when necessary......

There are more and more people near the platform, most of them are the ministers and nobles in Bianjing City, or some scholars and celebrities. After the news spread that Princess Shu intended to choose a son-in-law, many people began to think about it. Although the horses of the Great Song Dynasty were not particularly fragrant, they were certainly not as miserable as the Ming Dynasty......

The colt is still very golden! In any case, this is a way to increase your value and earn a future, so there are still many people who are willing to give it a try.

It didn't take long for a phoenix boat to slowly drive over, and a ceremonial officer announced that the Queen Mother and the scholars were having fun together, and the people present were invited to write a poem and lyrics to celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day......

Zhao Hao, who came with him, knew his mother's thoughts, so he secretly encouraged several children of the clan and proposed to write poems and lyrics to the most beautiful women present.

The implication is self-evident, the most beautiful woman is naturally Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and anyone who is interested will think so. But there was that kind of stunned, I don't know who shouted: "Miss Chai, the first beauty in Bianjing, is present!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a stir in the crowd!

Chai Minyan's fame was too great, and he had never seen it at all, but suddenly got the news, and many people began to search among the crowd......

However, the faces of a few people changed in an instant, Zhao Hao was very embarrassed, originally to build momentum for his sister, but the result was ...... However, when Chai Minyan was mentioned, Zhao Hao couldn't help beating again with some thoughts that had been hidden in his heart for more than a year......

A trace of displeasure flashed across the Queen Mother's face, and Princess Shuguo's face was also very unnatural, and she was dwarfed in an instant. The surname is stubborn, she stood on the boat and looked through the window, she really wanted to see, what does this Chai Minyan look like?

Chai Minyan was also there, and Wang Yan also rushed over after hearing the news, and finally found Chai Ruone's brother and sister in the crowd after several twists and turns. When the corners of his mouth just showed joy, he saw Lin Zhao standing beside the beauty...... Wang Yan's heart moved for no reason, and his eyes were a little complicated in an instant......

By the Jinming Pool, Chai Minyan inadvertently became the focus of attention...... (To be continued.) )
