Chapter 194: [Seeking to Slap in the Face]
The people gathered today are all rich and noble officials. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Take Xu Xin as an example, in the Yuan Emperor Dynasty, the dignitaries of the Xu family were far inferior to the Marquis of Fuping. Xu Xin is one year younger than Zhang Fang, as a young son, he is quite favored, and even a few months earlier than Zhang Fang, he was awarded the title of servant. It's just that there are too many people in the Han Dynasty who have the title of servant, and they can't get together in the court, otherwise the court can't sit down, so Zhang Fang didn't see him in the previous court. Generally, the rotation system is adopted, and those who are not yet weak do not need to be guarded. It can be said that this is a noble and easy title. More than half of the sons present have this title.
The relationship between Xu Xin and Zhang Fang has always been strong, and when Zhang Fang first returned to Chang'an last year, he sent Deng Zhan to contact and deliver a letter to ask him to help. It's just that Xu Xin was not there at that time, and it was the eldest brother Xu who received him. Xu Guo is the heir of the next Ping Enhou, and his father is the first powerful relative of the dynasty, so he is very concerned about his reputation. At that time, Zhang Fang's reputation was very bad, and Xu Guo sent Deng Zhan away coldly. Since then, Zhang Fang has not come to the door, nor has he seen Xu Xin visit. It wasn't until Zhang Fang returned home after filial piety that his reputation was restored, Xu Xincai visited and apologized, and at the same time implied that he was grounded by his father and brother, so he could not come to Yunyun early.
Zhang Fang didn't care about it, and he wouldn't have boarded the door of a "bad friend" with a bad reputation, even if this layer was revealed.
Shi Han and Stone were in a similar situation, Stone wanted to help, but Shi Han was hindered. It's just that Shi Han behaved a little more tactfully than Xu and left a little affection, so he was able to meet.
The ancestors of the Jin brothers and Zhang Fang's ancestors were all auxiliary ministers, and they have been friends for generations, and the relationship goes without saying. Among them, Jin Shi and Jin Qin are both servants, and they are in the same row as Zhang Fang, and they see each other from time to time and are very familiar with each other.
The only thing Zhang Fang is a little strange about is Xiao Shao.
Xiao Shao's identity was originally very prominent, he was the eighth grandson of Xiao He, the famous minister of the early Han Dynasty, and his grandfather Xiao Wangzhi was also an auxiliary minister, and the most respected teacher of Emperor Yuan. Shaw's prestige declined. Now Xiao Shao's father, Xiao Yu, is just an imperial historian, and Xiao Shao himself is only a student. Among the noble boys, he is the simplest dressed and the most plainly decorated, but his demeanor is calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and he is superior to the group of climbing teenagers.
Zhang Fang noticed that Xiao Shao also looked at the female trick beside him and kept his distance. Zhang Fang secretly wondered that he didn't want to touch the female tricks around him, because he was not interested in these professional "young ladies", but why did Xiao Shao? As far as he knew, Xiao Shao actually didn't mix with their circle. This son is a family heirloom, quite talented, and the people who interact with him are all young and handsome. Among the people present, it may be that Shi Han has dealings with him, and the others are not familiar with him. This can be seen from the fact that the young men talked and laughed with each other but few paid attention to him. In that case, why did Xiao Shao come to this party? That's amazing.
Among the teenagers present, Zhang Fang's identity is the most noble, and naturally everyone toasts and competes for orders.
Zhang Fang thanked them one by one, and finally thanked them with a cup of drink, which caused all the teenagers and girls to be distracted for a while, and they saluted again. Zhang Fang actually didn't care about the low-alcohol wine of the Han Dynasty, and it might not be okay to go down to the altar, but he simply didn't like the taste of the wine in this era.
Fortunately, Tian and Stone quickly jumped out to relieve him: "Not only Yi Xiao, no one drinks much today." Let's say it first, whoever is drunk will stay by himself, and he will be accompanied by a pheasant (prostitute), but he doesn't want to go to Kunming Pool together. ”
Kunming Pool! Zhang Fang listened to the doorway, and it turned out that the next show was to go to Kunming Pool.
Kunming Pond is in the southwest of Chang'an, north of Shanglin Yuan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dug in the southwest suburbs of Chang'an for three years, in order to practice water warfare. Forty miles around the pond, three hundred and thirty-two hectares wide, can be called the largest artificial lake in Chang'an. Because of its large area, there are naval forces stationed in the north, and the royal recreation place in the south. The northeast is between the two, and it is also a place for the magnates of Chang'an to relax and enjoy the coolness.
In the Duanyang season, the lake is bathed in the wind, and it is indeed possible to cool off the heat and open up, and these sons and brothers will really choose a place.
Zhang Fang said with a smile: "Ji Zi, Shi Jiu, you are not kind, and you didn't tell me that you were going to Kunming Pool." I'm here in a car. ”
Stone said: "Let's go to Kunming Pool this time, not in a carriage." ”
"Don't ride in a carriage? Horseback riding. Of course, Zhang Fang would not think that they would have to go on foot, it would have to be more than twenty miles, and no one would look for this sin.
Yi Xiao was only half right...... "This time it was Jin Shen who spoke, but after only half a sentence, he was intercepted by the female trickster next to him feeding wine.
"Half?" With Zhang Fangzhi's intelligence, I didn't know what Jin Shen meant for a while.
After Jin Ginseng opened his mouth and swallowed the wine, he smiled and said: "It's true to ride a horse, but it's not a slow ride, you have to gallop fast." First to come, there are surprises. ”
Zhang Fang raised his eyebrows, it turned out to be a horse race. These boys, aren't they asking for their own guilt by doing this on this hot day? Well, maybe it's a custom or something, boat racing in the south, horse racing in the northwest, it's not impossible.
Yu Tian saw Zhang Fang's uninterested look, and couldn't help but say, "Yi Xiao, don't you want to know what surprises there are?" ”
Zhang Fang said: "Think, will you tell me?" ”
Yu Tian hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "This can't be said, otherwise what kind of surprise is it." ”
Zhang Fang spread his hands, meaning that this was not the end, and as he spoke, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Xiao Shao's eyes were obviously lit up when he heard the horse race, and his expression was also excited. I see, this is what this is for. But this is even more strange, if it is a debate on the scriptures, Xiao Shao is so active, it seems that this kind of thing should not attract so much attention from this person...... Could it be the so-called "surprise"?
At this time, Shi Han, who had not spoken much, said: "I heard that Yi Xiao has two Xiji horses, and my house also bought several good horses from Yihu Shang a few months ago. Why don't you show it all out today, so that you can see the horse? ”
The group of young people and the female playwrights applauded in unison, and the private room was lively for a while.
Yu Tian, who was beside Zhang Fang, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Shi Zhongzi is still thinking about the event he lost three years ago. ”
And what's going on? Zhang Fang didn't have the slightest impression, knowing that it was "him" again, so he didn't move, and he didn't trace the reason from Yu Tian's mouth. It turned out that "Zhang Fang" also had a riding race with Shi Han three years ago. However, it was not they who played in person, but each sent their riders to the battle, and the result was that Shi Han lost.
If it was a normal fighting scene, Shi Han would laugh at most, but that time was Ping Enhou's birthday, and Shi Han fell in love with Ping Enhou's second daughter, which made Shi Han feel embarrassed in front of his sweetheart.
Yu Tian finally looked at Zhang Fang with a little worry and said, "It's best to ride the race in person this time to be surprised." Shi Zhongzi's implication is that what he wants you to show is not a good horse, but riding skills......"
Zhang put down and didn't care about Yu Tian's worries, his mind was spinning quickly-the second daughter of Ping'en Hou? It can't be that person, right? Hehe, if it is really that person, Shi Han's intentions are afraid that they will be put into water.
There was a lot of hustle and bustle in the private room, but what Zhang Fang was thinking about was, on this hot day, should he compete with these boys, especially Shi Han, for this so-called "surprise"?
The door slammed open, and one person came uninvited, looking up and laughing: "Horse racing! Yay, I like it the most. I happen to have a Pegasus, and I want to try it too, so you sons won't refuse this request, right? ”
The private room was quiet, and everyone looked sideways.
Shi Rong, Shi Dagongzi!
