This relatively leisurely life has made Yang Yi enjoy it very much, and now there are more and more people gathered around him, and many things no longer need him to charge by himself; Just like the matter of disarmament, he arranged for the imperial envoy Luo Cheng to take the lead, and he hid behind the scenes, except for the leaders of Zhang Dan, so far the lower-level officials still think that the whole thing has nothing to do with him.

This has a great advantage, so that he will slowly fade out of everyone's sight, and he will be attacked less, and his life will naturally become extremely comfortable.

Sansheng Building, in the water pavilion of the pool, the green willows are in the pavilion, the water is rippling, and the tranquility is full of comfort; Li Congde, Fang Tianruo, Nong Shiqiu, the champions of the current department, Bangyan, and Tanhua are all sitting, and the eldest of these three Li Congde is only twenty-eight years old, it can be said that the average age of the top three in Enke this year is the youngest in the previous imperial examinations of the Great Song Dynasty; There are objective factors in this, young people are more quick to accept new things, more open-minded, and have a relatively stronger sense of identity with the New Deal.

And this time, Enko is controlled by the New Party, and the people who are admitted are naturally those who support the New Deal.

But compared with Yang Yi, it is another matter, the youngest of the three, Nong Shiqiu, is also one year older than Yang Yi; However, in the officialdom, it is not based on age, but from the before and after and ranking of Dengke, Yang Yi is not only one year earlier than them, but also from the top of the family, in front of Yang Yi, they only have to bow down.

This time, they were invited by Yang Yi together, as well as Gui Zigui and Shen Qingzhi.

Shen Qingzhi did not live up to Yang Yi's expectations, the last time the lightning struck the Jinluan Palace, it was he who calculated the hexagram of 'lightning struck the Jinluan Palace, Yongtailing was uneasy'; now he was promoted to the young eunuch of Si Tianjian, and Si Tianjian Zheng Huo Yiqing is over seventy years old, dying of old age, and basically no longer cares, Si Tianjian is actually managed by him, the young eunuch.

Si Tianjian is responsible for observing celestial phenomena and calculating almanacs, and usually has little influence on the government and politics, and is a cold yamen, and everyone rarely pays attention to it.

But at certain times, it can play a huge role, and it is not for nothing that Yang Yi recommended Shen Qingzhi to take charge of Si Tianjian.

Yang Yi invited these people to the party, never talking about political affairs, it was all a group of young people getting together to eat, drink and chat; Sweet but not gluttonous, cold but not cold wine poured into the glass, everyone raised their glasses to drink, the mood was leisurely, and the poems and songs were very harmonious.

The wine is a precious Yi'an wine, and the glass is a precious glass, in fact, the purity of the glass at this time is not high, and there are some impurities, but no one in the Great Song Dynasty can make glass, and they are all brought from the sea by big food merchants, so it is very precious; Yang Yi himself also knows little about making glass, he only knows what quartz sand needs to be used, but he doesn't even know what quartz sand looks like, so he doesn't bother to fiddle with this thing.

The wind on the water comes, the fragrance of roses fills the pavilion, the lotus leaves are like a cover, and the fragrance of lotus flowers is far away; Yang Yi was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "You are all talents for a while, I have a couplet, please guess a word, how about it?" ”

"Good! Ask Lord Yang to answer the question. And they all responded.

The literati gathering, playing these things, Yang Yi stretched his sleeves and chanted freely: "The upper link is: the crescent moon is at the foot of a hook cloud; The lower link is: the remnant flower in front of the two-petal horseshoe. Guys, guess a word. ”

This couplet is elegant and elegant, extremely expressive, Li Congde and others can't help but applaud in unison, and then everyone either paced, or bowed their heads and pondered, the couplet is a good couplet, but it is not easy to guess a word!

Qing Niang sat beside Yang Yi, with double buns, plain embroidered clothes, and green Luo skirts, beautiful and refined, showing the girl's elegant and pure state; This kind of literati gathering, as long as there is no special reason, Yang Yi will bring her every time, which is of great benefit to broaden her horizons and promote her growth; And Qing Niang herself also likes this kind of gathering of friends with literature very much, although she usually participates as Yang Yi's maid, but Yang Yi will try to create conditions for her every time, so that she has the opportunity to display her talents.

"Qing Niang, have you ever come up with what the word is?" Yang Yi handed her a glass of wine and asked softly.

Qing Niang frowned with a lovely pair of eyebrows, shook her head and said, "Brother Yang, people can't think of it for a while." ”

"It's okay, I'll tell you." Yang Yi leaned into her ear and whispered.

"Don't, people have to think for themselves."

"Okay!"

At this time, Li Congde, the champion of the new department, clapped his hands and said very happily: "Miao Miao Miao! Lord Yang, Xia Guan guesses that this upper and lower union should be a 'bear' word, right? ”

"Yes, yes, the mystery is the word 'bear'." got Li Congde's prompt, and everyone suddenly realized and applauded; The crescent moon hooks the foot of the cloud, '厶' is the foot of the cloud character, and the moon word is at the foot of the cloud; in front of the two-petal horseshoe of the residual flower, 'dagger' is a remnant of the flower word, and '灬' means the horse's hoof, which is not exactly the front of the two horseshoe of the remnant flower?

Thinking about this, everyone couldn't help but praise in unison, and after saluting Yang Yi together, it was the turn of Fang Tianruo, the eye of the list, to come up with the question, Fang Tianruo, a native of Fang Lane, Chengguan, Putian, was twenty-five years old; Not only did he support reform, but his political ideas were even stronger than that of the strongman Zhang Shangying, who believed that Minister Yuanyou had harmed the country too much, and that he should be killed but not killed; Children and grandchildren should be imprisoned, but not imprisoned; Assets should not be confiscated, but not confiscated; In the government, the loss of political punishment is nothing greater than this.

Yang Yi actually didn't agree with these points of view, Yang Yi still felt that he should not break Boss Zhao's concept of not killing doctors; After all, political disputes are just differences in political opinions, and demotion is enough, and there is not much need to engage in punishment.

But Fang Tianruo is indeed very talented, and he also has some insight in the national economy and people's livelihood, in line with the purpose of no one is perfect, Yang Yi is still very optimistic about him.

Fang Tianruo got up and arched his hand to everyone, and said slowly: "I also have a couplet, and I also ask Lord Yang to advise you, the upper couplet is: The white snake crosses the river with a round of red sun on its head; The next link is: the green dragon hangs on the wall and is covered with 10,000 gold stars. Please guess a daily item. ”

Qing Niang was clever, and soon said happily: "The white snake crosses the river and has a round of red sun above its head, which means that it is an oil lamp." ”

Yang Yi smiled, poured another glass of wine and handed it to her as a sign of appreciation.

In these years, the big families lit the exquisite palace lamps, but the ordinary people lit the simplest oil lamps, which is a small saucer, and put a lamp grass after filling the lamp oil, the lamp grass stretched out to the side of the dish and lit it, the lamp grass is the 'white snake', and the lit fire is the 'red sun', which is very imaged.

Soon, the next link was also guessed by Qin Zigui, only to hear him reply: "Qinglong hangs on the wall and is covered with 10,000 gold stars, this should be a scale!" ”

That's right, it's the scale, everyone laughs and drinks together.

Qing Niang's eyes flickered, Yang Yi knew that she must have a good couplet, so he said with a smile: "Qing Niang, it's up to you to make a couplet, let's guess, let's say okay, if we guess, you can give everyone a cup." ”

"Brother Yang, I'm not a word couplet, I only have an upper couplet, please come to the lower couplet."

Nong Shiqiu, a loyal fan, hurriedly replied: "Yi'an Jushi's talent is spread all over the world, and the Shanglian that comes out must be extraordinary. ”

This girl admires Qing Niang and doesn't hide it much, but he has a moderate demeanor, not like Zhao Mingcheng, and he has a sunny and cheerful personality, which makes Yang Yi not dislike him.

Qing Niang got up and said as if she had a blessing: "Tanhualang has won the award, the slave family really doesn't dare to be it, and I hope you will advise." The upper link of the slave family is: Hong is a riverside bird. ”

As soon as you hear it, you can understand that this is a pair of split words, which seems simple, but it is not easy to break down a word so poetically.

Therefore, it can't be too casual, otherwise the artistic conception is too far away, and it will be a joke.

Everyone then started to think about it again, outside the water pavilion, in the pond, the red koi fish play among the lotus leaves, the wind blows the lotus leaves, the fish ripples and leisurely, this summer afternoon, because of the wine into a gathering, because of the joint play, there is a different taste.

Everyone didn't go down for a while, Qing Niang looked at Yang Yi with expectation, even if she was famous all over the world, but she always had a blind worship of Yang Yi, and always felt that he was omnipotent.

Of course, Yang Yi couldn't disappoint the beauty, he flicked the silk clothes on his body and winked at Qing Niang.

Qing Niang's eyes suddenly turned into a crooked crescent, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing two cute little pear nests.

The two of them are silent and sound, and everything is silent.

Qin Zigui next to him saw Yang Yi's movements and blurted out: "Silkworms are insects in the world." ”

Those who wear the world rely on silkworms to spin silk, and it is more appropriate to say that silkworms are insects in the world.

In the praise of everyone, Qin Zigui said embarrassedly: "This next link is from Brother Ren, and I am really ashamed to be in the next." ”

It was Shen Qingzhi's turn to get up and toast everyone, and then said: "You are only eight buckets high, and you will also come to offer ugliness in the next, and you hope to give teaching. ”

After Qing Niang was excited, her thoughts flowed, and she immediately replied: "Lilacs, a hundred heads, a thousand heads." ”

"The mountain trail is clear, the air is like smoke, and the smoke is like fog." The upper link of the agricultural autumn emergence.

"Jianglou sits at night, the moonlight is like water, and the water is like the sky." Qing Niang immediately replied.

The two of them answered very quickly, and the beauty of this couplet is difficult to say, which pushed the atmosphere in the pavilion to ** for a while; Even some of the guests in the Sunshine Building also came around, standing quietly around to listen, and as soon as the wonderful pair came out, they sincerely applauded; In this day and age, there is a visceral reverence for culture.

Yang Yi invited them to come to the paper to talk about poetry, although it did not involve politics, but unconsciously quickly shortened the distance between them, and it was this effect that he wanted; If you want to cultivate your own roots, it is best to start with newcomers, those who are in high positions in the DPRK and China are all old fritters in the officialdom, even if they can be wooed, it is only a temporary combination of interests; These newcomers are different, they have no foundation yet, and they also urgently need someone to support them, once Yang Yi promotes or recommends them, they naturally form a root system with each other.

Therefore, Yang Yi spent more scheming on them than on Cai Jing.
