Chapter Ninety-Six: The Poetry Club of the Royal Mansion (3)

"Hah! What do you think? The cheap old man in the past is afraid of me! I know that you, the so-called great loyal ministers, whether they are true or false in their hearts, must cherish their reputation very much. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Now that I'm making a fuss in front of the palace, can you not care about your face? Dare to make a big fuss with me? Lin Yi showed a triumphant smile on his face, walked down the steps, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "This son, please stay, our prince invites you to go in and talk back." ”

Lin Yi turned around and looked, only to see a good-looking housekeeper walking out of the palace, looking at him with a sincere face, seeing him turn around, he also bowed his hand to him, and raised his hands to his forehead.

Wang Yu's face changed unconsciously, and he hurriedly pulled Lin Yi's arm and said, "Lin Yi, let's go quickly!" You promised me not to go into the house. ”

Lin Yi nodded and said yes, in the palace of the Eight Sages, we have a lot of opponents, just now we shouted in front of the palace again, which frustrated the face of the Eight Sages King, he is not annoyed and ashamed, it is strange, let's hurry up! Busy with Wang Yu drilled into the crowd.

Which butler waved his hand and instructed several guards beside him: "Quickly leave this prince behind, and the prince will invite him into the palace for questioning?" ”

Several guards guarding the door did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed forward together, blocking in front of Lin Yi and Wang Yu. Which housekeeper walked down the steps with a smile, bowed to Lin Yi and said: "This son, just now our prince has read which of your words, I admire your courage and talent, and I want to get acquainted with you, you should go into the mansion with me!" ”

Lin Yi excused himself and said: "Your prince requires all the talented people to be worthy of which pair of upper couplets at the door before they can enter the mansion, I can't come up, naturally I don't belong to the list of talented people, I won't go in to pollute his old man's eyes, and say goodbye!" Leave! With that, he laughed, turned around and walked again.

Which housekeeper shook his head lightly and sighed: "Our lord, it is difficult for idlers to wait for him to see him, but you asked me to invite him, and you still don't go in?" But today it is not up to you, and if you don't go in, you can't do it, and the guards will take him into the house. The guards responded in unison, grabbed Lin Yi's arm, pushed him out of the crowd, and walked into the palace in a huddle.

"Hey...... This troublesome embryo? Can't you stop the point? Wang Yu looked at the gate of the palace, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet a few times.

"Wang Yu, look at our ......," Yang Jingwen asked softly on the side.

"Come with me!" Wang Yu preached hatefully. The two quietly hid away from the crowd and quickly disappeared into the depths of the alley.

The Eight Princes' Mansion is really built very gorgeously, and the Grand View Garden in the Dream of Red Mansions in later generations, small bridges and flowing water everywhere, winding paths and secluded paths, pavilions and pavilions, ingenuity, there are also handsome big girls and little daughters-in-law walking beside them from time to time, adding a beautiful scenery to the palace.

The butler had brought him all the way to the attic of a three-room room before he stopped. Lin Yi turned his head to look around, only to see that the place he was in was a large courtyard, in which hundreds of large tables had been placed, on which fruits and various snacks were placed. There were already a lot of people sitting at the table, all of them were important ministers of the dynasty, Prime Minister Wang Bo and his cheap father Lin Yongkang were sitting, looking not far away, Yang Jichang was with a few colleagues, bowing his head and whispering. At a large table on the other side, Wang Jinglong and Song Ziqing were also sitting, and everyone looked at him with their eyes together.

"Hey, hey! accidentally became the focus of attention, it's better to be low-key, don't be too loud! Thinking of this, Lin Yi took a few steps back, and was about to turn around and hide in an unobtrusive corner. But seeing his cheap father Lin Yongkang stood up from his seat with a cold face, walked up to him, and scolded loudly: "Little animal, you can't be angry with me, is this the place in front of the palace where you make trouble?" How did Miss Yang offend you, and you want to ruin her innocent reputation? If it weren't for the fact that you have been uneducated since you were a child, I would have killed you today! After that, he raised his foot to kick Lin Yi, but was stopped by the housekeeper and several court ministers beside him.

Lin Yi wanted to sneer at each other and refute it loudly, but in front of so many important ministers of the court, it was not good to quarrel with his cheap father and tear his face. At that moment, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, did not speak, stepped aside, looked upstairs, and ignored Lin Yongkang.

Lin Yongkang scolded a few words, seeing that Lin Yi always ignored him, and he didn't dare to force Lin Yi to be too ruthless, he smiled with several ministers beside him: "The dog has been negligent in discipline since he was a child, so you can laugh, laugh!" I will be strict in the future! With that, he laughed a few times, turned around and walked back to his seat and sat down.

By this time it was getting dark, and there were lights upstairs and downstairs, and hundreds of lanterns lit up a courtyard and a pavilion as if it were day. On the third floor, dozens of bamboo curtains were hung to cover the scenery inside, but faintly many women could be seen walking around, and a crisp laughter could be heard from time to time. Above the second floor, there were dozens of captains in brocade clothes, all armed with knives and guns, looking downstairs with a serious face.

Strange! Where is this Eight Sages King, he hasn't shown up for so long, it stands to reason that when I first entered the mansion, he should have appeared, but he hasn't appeared until now, I don't know what medicine is sold in his gourd? Lin Yi was undecided in his heart, looking at the swaying figure behind the bamboo curtain of the three-story pavilion, and suddenly imagined in his mind the daughter of the Eight Sages King, who had never met the county lord. This county lord must be upstairs, so he must be very beautiful? In case I plagiarize one or two poems at the poetry meeting and make a name for myself, will this Eight Sages King take a fancy to me and marry his daughter to me, hehe! When the time comes, should I say yes? Or not? And he just made a fuss in front of the palace, and he said nonsense that he and Yang Huijuan were a loving couple? What should be done about this matter, will it make Wang Jinglong tear his face and make a big fuss with himself? What if Sister Yang can't think about it and finds a short-term view? It's really reckless to do things by yourself, and young people still can't hold their breath! Where Lin Yi stood, his mind was full of thoughts.

Seeing that there were still many talented people who were constantly being introduced into the mansion by the family members of the palace and sat down at the table in the courtyard, Lin Yi thought about it in his heart, walked over unceremoniously, sat on an empty seat, stretched out the fan in his hand, and shook it gently.

These Eight Sage Kings are really uneducated, don't you know the truth that small insects are phototropic? In this big night, if you invite all the people, aren't you afraid that even the mosquitoes will be recruited together, so that they will bite our flesh and blood? Really? Not a little fun! Lin Yi sat there and complained, and waited patiently for almost half an hour, the students in the courtyard were all seated, and the ministers of the court on either side were also seated one after another.

Suddenly, the four family members in the palace hurriedly walked out of the pavilion and stood still on both sides of the door, and then someone shouted loudly: "The Eight Sages King and the Prince of the World have arrived in ......."

Everyone hurriedly stood up together, and then two people walked out of the pavilion door, the first one, more than forty years old, wearing a red dragon robe, wearing a golden crown, and his temperament was very calm. The other person was a handsome young man with white face and red lips, about twenty years old, also wearing a dragon robe, no need to ask him to be the prince of the world. The father and son of the Eight Sages King walked slowly to the front of the steps and stood calmly.

Everyone fell down and bowed down together, and the mountain shouted: "I have seen the Eight Sages King Chitose!" I've seen the little prince! Lin Yi has always been very expensive under his knees, and at this time he had to kneel down and worship him, but he scolded in his heart, "His grandmother's, tell Lao Tzu to kneel, in the future, Lao Tzu will marry your daughter into his harem, and tell her to kneel every day to welcome her, and she will definitely take revenge." And you're a little prince, about the same age as me? You can also withstand Lao Tzu's worship. He scolded in his heart, but he still saluted in a proper manner.

After bowing down, everyone stood up together, and the Eight Sages King laughed and said, "Ministers, all the students who came to the poem, everyone sit down!" ”

Everyone sat back down in their chairs. The Eight Sages King glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Today is June 16, which happens to be the birthday of the prince, so this king invites everyone to come, one is to celebrate the birthday of the prince, and the other is to hold a poetry meeting to select the talents of the pillars of the imperial court." ”

Some flattering officials immediately smiled and complimented: "The eighth prince is really worried about the country and the people!" Living in the temple is high, worrying about the affairs of the court! It is really worthy of the style of a generation of virtuous kings! ”

The Eight Sages King smiled and did not answer, but turned his head to look at Lin Yi, and said loudly: "Today in front of my mansion, a major event happened, this student surnamed Lin spent a thousand yuan to redeem a fallen official lady, but unexpectedly the court spent ten taels of silver to redeem the person. This king thinks that this matter is indeed unfair, and he is very upset for this student, so today this king invited this student in, and is willing to spend a thousand yuan, and also leave a fair reputation for the court with this student, I don't know what everyone thinks? ”

Lin Yi's matter, many people here already know, at this time, seeing the Eight Sages King doing things like this, many people have praised one after another: "The Eight Sages King is really a generation of idle kings, and he is so fair in handling things!" That's amazing! ”

When the king heard this, he became more and more proud, and turned around and instructed a housekeeper behind him: "You immediately take a thousand yuan and return this student with me." ”

Ho! This Eight Sages King has done a really good job on the surface! Returning the money to me in public, not only bought people's hearts, but also brightened his face? However, there is no justice in this matter, and it stands to reason that you should return Yang Huijuan to me! Or in front of everyone, announced that the marriage contract between Yang Huijuan and Wang Jinglong was invalid, and asked Sister Yang what she meant, and she decided who she was willing to follow? Now that he's playing this hand, he clearly wants to send me away! Hehe! You're a clever abacus, but you think I'm going to be scarce of your two little bucks? The next second, he took the silver, and knelt down and kowtowed to you gratefully to thank you? Are you wrong?

Seeing that the housekeeper had taken the money, the Eight Sages King opened the money box and said to Lin Yi: "Here are ten taels of gold, worth a thousand yuan, I will return the money to you for the court now, and you won't be aggrieved all day long in the future!" ”

Lin Yi poked his neck and glanced at the box, but his hand didn't even stretch out, he bowed and gave a salute, and said lightly: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, I also have money in the next family, not bad for these small money, I just want to return Miss Yang to me, reunite our husband and wife, and ask the Eight Sages King to preside over justice." ”
