The years flickered, a few days passed, and soon it was the ninth day of the new year, and the poetry meeting held by the prince officially kicked off under the expectations of many officials and celebrities. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The reason why the info poetry meeting is so valued by everyone is not only that the organizer is the future emperor and the prince of the country, but also because it is a gathering place for literati to talk about elegance. If his poems are written well, he is likely to be valued by the prince, and the prince will also recommend them to the emperor in the name of promoting talents, so as to bypass the cruel competition of the imperial examination and easily become an official of the imperial court. Therefore, many talented people who are quite famous among the people, but always fall behind in the imperial examination, can be said to be eager to discuss poetry, and they want to enter but cannot get it. The poetry meeting was held in Yihong Garden on the outskirts of Beijing. Yihongyuan was the courtyard of an official in the former dynasty, and was later bought by the prince with a lot of money. The garden is planted with rare plants from all over the Chu country - from the ordinary orchid lotus chrysanthemum plum, to the precious phalaenopsis, Wenxin orchid, wild goose red and so on, until the flowering season arrives, the garden is full of purple and red, the scenery is charming. Outside the gate of the garden, there are guards from the Prince's Mansion guarding them layer by layer, and those who do not have invitations are not allowed to enter. The people who were invited to come early in the morning came in groups. A luxurious and noble carriage, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers in the garden, slowly entered the garden. Everyone laughed and talked, and they were courteous and graceful. There are also young ladies and ladies from large official eunuchs, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to go out, they gather in an unnoticeable corner, whispering, smiling and laughing, everything seems so relaxed and happy, like a painting. But not far from the garden gate, there was a discordant scene. A young man in a Chinese costume with a thief head and a bad smile on his face was shuttling back and forth among the crowd of people going to the meeting. "Oh, isn't this the shopkeeper's? Are you really here? Alas, in fact, this poetry will be quite boring, why don't you go back - will you transfer the invitation to me? ”

"Why? Didn't you sell me five thousand taels of silver tickets? "Shopkeeper Zhang is not happy.

"It's full of things like a bunch of people, we're all businessmen, do you think it's interesting to get together in that bunch of people?"

"I don't care if it's interesting or not, Zhang is here to talk about business. -- Maybe some rich boy thinks that my shop in the south of the city has a future, and is willing to pay money to do business together. ”

"Gotta get in."

“......”

"Oh, isn't this Boss Zhou? Why are you here in person? Little brother advises you to say a word, hurry back and get it, this poetry will not be interesting, little brother please go to Yihongyuan to drink flower wine tonight. ――Will you send me an invitation? ”

"Why? Didn't you sell this to me? It cost me 5,000 taels. ”

"Little brother, let's buy it back again, right?!"

"Okay, then you pay 10,000 taels, and the old man will sell it to you again."

The young man was taken aback: "Why don't you go and grab it?" It's only been a few days and it's doubled, you want to go crazy with money, right? ”

"It's the so-called one time and another, hum, do you want to love it? Don't want the old man, just go in. Saying that, Boss Zhou flicked his sleeves and walked towards the garden without looking back.

"Profiteers! Bah! Shameless! The young man scolded fiercely behind his back. There is no doubt that this young man is none other than Liu Fan and Liu Marquis.

As for why he jumped up and down outside the park and wanted to buy back the invitations all over the world, the answer was very simple: the sequelae left by selling invitations with the little master of Changle that day -- when he arose, he also sold the invitation card that belonged to him. He is only a young man, and he is not arrogant enough to dare to release the pigeon of His Royal Highness the Prince, so there is this dilemma of not being able to enter. When he was lamenting why there are more profiteers than good people in this world, a familiar figure came into his eyes, Liu Feng! Why is this kid here too? After thinking about it, I was relieved again, this kid himself works in the prince's mansion, and it is very reasonable and logical to appear here.

"Hey, Brother Liu, long time no see, how are you?" Ignoring the side glances of the literati beside him, Liu Fan waved his hand happily and shouted. Liu Feng stood at the door to greet the guests, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the shouting. The voice was so familiar that he couldn't forget it, but he still pretended not to hear it, and didn't even look back. However, he still underestimated Liu Fan's determination to make friends with acquaintances. Liu Fan still shouted regardless of it: "Brother Liu, Liu Feng, it's me!" Your closest friend, a good brother who looks like each other with all sincerity, Liu Fan! Why are you ignoring me? ”

Liu Feng's cheeks were sour when he heard this, and he was about to walk into the garden casually to avoid the harassment of this plague god. On the contrary, the guards standing at the gate of the garden couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but persuade: "Mr. Liu, that friend of yours has been calling for a long time, why don't you step forward and recognize him, the people who come and go in this garden are all literati and scholars, and the shouting is too unorthodox, and I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will blame him for this." ”

Liu Feng tilted his head, sighed heavily, walked slowly in front of Liu Fan with a straight face, and said coldly: "Okay, okay, stop screaming!" ”

Liu Fan saw that he was finally willing to come out and recognize him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why is it so young that you have your ears behind it?" Didn't you hear me call you so much? ”

"Liu Shaofu, what do you want to do?" Liu Feng really can't do anything about him.

"Nonsense! I'm going to go in ......."

"Don't you have an invitation? Just go in and you're good to go! What are you yelling outside the park? ”

"Hehe, there was originally an invitation, but Ben Hou is too generous, he sent one to the east and one to the west, but there was nothing left."

"Ouch, that's a nice thing to say, it's all sold, right?" Liu Feng snorted dissatisfiedly. Thinking that Liu Fan snatched his invitation, he was angry, he wanted to sell a few by himself, but he ended up teaching Liu Fan to rob it.

"Hehe, it's all the same, I just saw you, good brother, there is this life, there is no afterlife! - Quick, take me in. ”

"Don't bring it, please choose another way for Lord Shaofu!" Liu Feng turned his head and left.

"Are you sure you don't bring Benhou in? Then Ben Hou went home, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked, Ben Hou told him that no one had ever invited Ben Hou at all, and Ben Hou didn't know that there was such a thing as a poetry meeting! ”

Liu Feng stopped, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Alas, how could God teach Liu to know you." In this way, Liu Fan was smoothly brought into Yihong Garden by Liu Feng.

"Don't keep your face strained, how ugly! You know, your image represents the Prince's Mansion, come, laugh quickly. Liu Fan enlightened Liu Feng along the way.

When passing by the gate of the park, Liu Fan heard the conversation of the guards guarding the door: "Hey, it's really strange, there are many new faces this year." ”

"What face?"

"It seems that there are still many people who are the shopkeepers of the big businesses in the capital, it's really strange, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invite them? This is a place where literati meet. ”

"Have you checked their invitations carefully?"

"I've checked, and the invitations are all genuine."

"That's fine, whatever, as long as the invitation is genuine, there is no responsibility for us." Liu Fan smiled secretly after hearing this, and when he turned around, he saw Liu Feng glaring at him fiercely.

Liu Fan took the opportunity to slap a silver ticket in Liu Feng's arms, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't look at Ben Hou with that kind of look, it's awkward, this is a dividend for you, let's settle this matter!" You go get busy, you don't have to greet Benhou. Liu Fan waved his sleeves and walked away in a chic manner. Liu Feng unfolded the silver ticket and looked at it, and couldn't help but be angry: "One hundred taels? This bastard, when he is called Hanako? ”

The flowers of Yihong Garden are the most famous in the capital, because there are guards of the prince's mansion all year round, ordinary people have no chance to see these various precious flowers. Today, the prince invited guests, but to the surprise of those young ladies and ladies, so, the garden is full of women's figures, smiling and playing, admiring and amazing. The warbler swallow swallow and the ring fat swallow are thin, adding a little refreshing fat powder aroma to the already flowery Yihong Garden.
