On the sixteenth day of the first month of the thirteenth year of Jianwu, the Poetry Club of Runing Mansion was the beginning of Gu Mengping's fame. At the foot of the mountain in the early morning, no one knows who it is. When the sun slowly set and the tired birds returned to the forest, Gu Mengping became famous.

All the participants were shocked by the policy of 'the people are sufficient, the rulers are not enough', and many of them asked themselves whether they could make a brilliant solution of 'the people are rich at the bottom, and the king is rich from the top', and even those officials who were wise to the government were secretly thinking about it in their hearts.

When Gao You said the sentence 'I am not as good', the entire sky seemed to respond to his words, and a few drops of rain slowly drifted down, enveloping the mountain peaks. The rain continued to slide into the deep valley, announcing the arrival of spring to the world. The spring thunder that exploded overhead was proving it with sound.

"I'm not as good as that!" Gu Weiyu stood up and used his actions to support Gao You's words, "However, the Gu family has this son, and I am also lucky!" ”

"I'd better be!" Tao Fuzi and Cheng Fuzi shook their heads slightly. The afterlife is terrifying! I'm afraid that these people can only stop at lifting people for the rest of their lives, and they can't take another step forward.

Gu Mengping stood alone in the drizzle, as if he had monopolized heaven and earth. The drizzle is drizzling, misty, and the young man's sleeves are flying, floating like a fairy.

The girl Gao Xishu was dressed in men's clothes and stood quietly in the crowd, her bright eyes looking at the viewing platform for a moment. Father had praised Gu Mengping many times in front of her, and even had the intention of being included in the door several times, but he repeatedly missed it-

Thinking of her father's words, the girl's face gradually turned crimson, and her mood became delicate for a while.

……

Walking to the foot of the mountain, Gu Weiyu invited Gu Mengping to ride in the carriage with him, and later saw that he and Gongsun Yuan had a carriage, so he gave up.

At the time of parting, he said: "Although you are a young man, but your mind has become an adult, this time it is only because of the funeral of your father and mother...... Wait until the fifteenth year of the founding of the military, and you will definitely be able to make a new appearance! He said about the next imperial examination, and then his voice gradually lowered, "From today on, you will become famous, and there will be a lot of entertainment in the future, you must remember your identity and future, and don't do anything that delays your future." ”

Gu Mengping took a deep look and said movingly: "Thank you, uncle, nephew remember." ”

After Gu Weiyu left, Kochi County led Gao Xishu over and invited Gu Mengping to visit his house in a few days, but Gu Mengping refused on the grounds that it was inconvenient to go out for funeral.

After Kochi County left, Tao Fuzi and Cheng Fuzi also walked over, looking at Gu Mengping with a relieved face. They are Gu Weimao's former friends, and when they saw their friend's heir so promising, they were sincerely happy for their friend.

Tao Fuzi patted Gu Mengping's shoulder, "If you have a son like this, Brother Gu should rest in peace." ”

Hearing him mention his father, Gu Mengping shook his head heavily, and tears flashed in his eyes.

Sitting in the carriage, Gao Xishu looked back frequently, as if her eyes could see the radiant young man through the wall of the carriage.

Kochi County saw it in his eyes, twisted his beard and smiled, "In a few days, the Gu family's archway will come down, wait for the Gu family's grandmother to come back from the house, and let your mother lead you over to visit." ”

Gao Xishu was stunned, and looked at his father in confusion, not understanding why he was so urgent.

Kochi Prefecture smiled and said nothing, don't be in a hurry! No matter how anxious I am, I'm afraid that my son-in-law will fly too.

The daughter is more than thirteen years old, and she is in the prime of her life, and she has reached the age of saying goodbye. Although Gu Mengping is the same age, he is a man, and with the funeral, it doesn't matter if he is a few years later.

If you are not in a hurry now, I am afraid that you will not be in a hurry in the future......

Gu Mengping got it, but her daughter couldn't wait.

The sun is getting west, the twilight is rising, and the horses are stepping on the cheerful hooves, and gradually galloping towards Suiping County.

Outside the city gate, a familiar figure was looking around, and when he saw the carriage approaching, Wei San hurriedly beckoned.

"Third brother, but there is something at home?" Before leaving, Gu Mengping handed over his home to Wei San to take care of. Although Ning Bo and Wang Po were both at home, the two old men were old, and Gu Mengping couldn't bear to trouble them.

Wei San looked Gu Mengping up and down with joy on his face, "I heard that Brother Ping is beating the crowd in Rongshan today?" He had been waiting outside the city gate for about half an hour, and when he heard the scholars coming and going talking about Gu Mengping, he went over to ask.

At this time, seeing Gu Mengping back, how could he not be happy.

Seeing that he was happy, Gu Mengping picked a few important things to say, Wei San listened, and a smile of honor appeared on his face, "I'll just say, our Brother Ping must be a champion!" What kind of talented scholars are still rushing to uncover Brother Ping's couplets, how can their articles be compared with Brother Ping? ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Wei San patted his head and exclaimed, "Look at what I have in my head?" Originally, I had something important to wait for Brother Ping outside the city, but when I saw you, I forgot to say it happily. ”

"What's the matter?" Gu Mengping asked him to get into the carriage first, and said as he walked.

"Today there is a guest in your house, and Ning Bo didn't dare to receive it, so he ran to find me......" Wei San was very fond of Gongsun Yuan's carriage, and sat on it from time to time touching the mat and touching the decoration on the wall of the car, and praised Sihe's horse technique.

There really was a guest at home.

"Gu Xiaoguanren! Are you back......" Standing in the courtyard was a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, wearing a Taoist robe, and bowed when he saw Gu Mengping.

Gu Mengping recognized it for a long time before he remembered, wasn't this person in front of him a passerby surnamed Xiao who he had helped last year? Their axle broke on the road, and it was Gu Mengping who asked Agui to help them find an axle to replace it.

He was busy returning the salute.

Gongsun Yuan stood beside Gu Mengping, but there was a storm in his heart, he recognized the person in front of him.

Why did the people of the Xiao family come to Suiping again?

Steward Xiao smiled, without the slightest impatience on his face that he had been waiting for a long time, "It's not the right time for the villain to come, I don't know that the little official went to Rongshan Mountain to participate in the poetry meeting today." "He's here to say thank you!

"To tell you the truth, my wife was also in the car that day, but because of the difference between men and women, I didn't thank the junior official in person. Later, because I didn't want to return to Beijing, I delayed this matter. This time, the villain escorted the girl to visit the old lady, and the lady ordered the villain to say thank you to the little official in person. Steward Xiao said, raising his hands above his head and making a big gesture.

Gu Mengping was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, "Where do you dare to receive such a big gift?" As he spoke, he asked Steward Xiao to go to the study to talk.

Seeing Gongsun Yuan also come in, Steward Xiao also saluted Gongsun Yuan.

Gu Mengping hurriedly introduced to him, "This is my good friend, surnamed Gongsun." ”

"It turned out to be a minor official of Gongsun." Steward Xiao saluted again. When he raised his head, he was secretly shocked in his heart. The person in front of him, he must have seen it, but he couldn't remember where he had met it. He asked tentatively, "Gongsun Xiaoguan is a person from the capital?" ”

Gongsun Yuan smiled and replied, "No, I am from Guangxi." ”

Steward Xiao said 'hmm', stopped asking, and then ordered his subordinates to take out the prepared gifts.

Seeing the gift list handed over by Steward Xiao, Gu Mengping was shocked.

But what shocked him even more was the next sentence, Zhang Xubai was actually in Mrs. Lin's mansion?

He looked up suddenly, his eyes flickering. The old monk's health is getting worse and worse, and he has begun to be a little confused in recent days, which is an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease.

If you can ask Zhang Xubai to see the old monk......
