It was late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the breeze was coming slowly, adding a touch of coolness to the hot and dry weather.

There is a curfew at night, and there are not many pedestrians on the road at a glance, except for the soldiers who patrol from time to time, only some powerful people who ignore the law wander the streets, and the patrol soldiers completely turn a blind eye, and the Luodu magnates are not something they can offend.

"Look at the sky, Brother Huo, am I dazzled?!"

"What a fuss, that's, that's, it's on fire!" The two rich boys who were carrying wine jugs and wandering were suddenly half awake from their drinking, and stared blankly at the mansion surrounded by flames in the distance.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and soon the distant mansion was engulfed in flames, and for a time the flames soared into the sky, and a number of disheveled and embarrassed servants went in and out, constantly extinguishing the fire with water, but the fire became bigger and bigger, and the smoke billowed to cover the sky.

For some reason, in the middle of the night, there were dogs barking and cats barking around the mansion, and almost no one slept up and down the mansion.

On the second floor of the inn, Yang Yi stood by the window with his hands in his hands, staring at the mansion of the powerful who was engulfed in fire and reflected the sky red, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

In Kyoto, the place where the mansions of the powerful gathered, encountered various disasters one after another, although it was not fatal, but it always disgraced these originally high-ranking magnates, but the specific perpetrators of the crime, when the commander led the troops to investigate, suddenly disappeared and looked for traces, and there was no trace at all.

Moreover, these magnates have always done their own thing, and they have not taken the captains in charge of public security in their eyes at all, and now they see that these magnates have suffered dumb losses and are naturally secretly applauded, where will they investigate deeply, and there is no death, in line with the principle that more is better than less, it quickly became an unsolved case and gradually forgotten.

After many inquiries, Yang Yi finally determined that the Moon Dan Review hosted by Xu Shao would be held at the beginning of the month, but Xu Shao would deliver invitations every time he was invited, and ordinary people could not be present at all, even if Yang Yi paid a lot of money, it was still difficult to find a post.

On this day, Yang Yi's efforts were still in vain, and he had to return in a huff, and along the way, he was soon attracted by the bustling Luoyang commercial street, where the streets were bustling with pedestrians and traffic.

The prince of the family called friends to enter the hotel tea shop, talking and pointing out the country, the powerful carriage was slowly driven by a group of servants, and many businessmen walked in the crowd, looking at those luxurious carriages with a little envy.

Although the merchants in the Eastern Han Dynasty held a large number of economic resources, their status was inferior.

However, it has long been an open secret to sell officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and many wealthy businessmen will buy honorary positions with a lot of money, but there is no inferiority.

Unconsciously, Yang Yi had been walking on the bustling street for half a day, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be lost, and looked around blankly, a large-scale mansion in the distance was not far away, and the plaque of Caifu was quite conspicuous.

The owner of this mansion is Cai Yong, a famous writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who has a wide range of contacts in the imperial court, and the long Han Ling Emperor is heavy, praising Cai Yong's book for his bones, refreshing and powerful, but he finally succumbed to death in prison, and his daughter Cai Yan has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she is also a famous and talented woman in history, but it is a pity that her life is bumpy.

In fact, as long as Cai Yong is sure, Yang Yi doesn't need to go to any Yuedan review, he can gain a lot of reputation when he enters the imperial city and becomes a proton, but Cai Yong's mansion Yang Yi can't enter at all, and the so-called worship post is also lost in the sea and there is no news.

In desperation, Yang Yi can only go to the risky Yuedan review, although Xu Shao's one-word evaluation is likely to make people famous and be familiar with many scholars, if it is also a bad review, it is very likely to collapse and become a laughing stock, and there is no chance to turn over.

At this moment, a carriage came slowly, and the servant jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door.

"The eldest lady is back, the eldest lady is back!" Soon the door opened, and a group of guards stepped forward quickly.

With the support of the pretty maid, a woman slowly got out of the carriage, her hands were like soft wattles, her skin was like congealed fat, she was dressed in a bright yellow and light dress that was particularly eye-catching, her black hair was draped on the side like a waterfall, and her elegant face was intoxicating.

"Miss, look at the appearance of the disciple, it is really ugly!"

"Huixiang, don't talk nonsense." Cai Yan looked at Yang Yi with wonderful eyes, bowed slightly, and turned towards the mansion, the great magnates in the capital do not know how many, although Cai Yong is respected by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and has a high and powerful position, but it is better to have more than one thing, so as not to accidentally offend difficult people.

Yang Yi stood stupidly in place, and didn't react until the beauty had already left, the eldest lady of Caifu only Cai Yan, although she was only fifteen years old, she didn't expect to be so slim, according to historical records, Cai Yan will soon marry the Hedong Wei family.

Yang Yi bowed to Cai Fuyao, turned around and led people towards the inn, but Cai Yan's moving posture in his mind couldn't be dispersed for a long time.

Although I already know when the Yuedan Review will be held, Yang Yi is really not sure whether he can make a splash at the Yuedan Review, and in his spare time, Yang Yi always practices his steps in front of the bronze mirror, so as not to be looked down upon by others.

Fortunately, Gongsun Yi gave birth to a good skin, although he did not have a face like a crown of jade, he looked like Pan An, but he was also upright and proud, and he had a good aura when he was dressed and walked, but Tian Yu often came to urge Yang Yi to go to the imperial city to meet the emperor as soon as possible to complete Gongsun Zhan's order, but he was persuaded by Yang Yi to retreat every time.

Time flies, a few days passed quickly, Yang Yi changed into the short brown that had been prepared for a long time, this kind of short clothes made of coarse cloth was quite simple, but if he wanted to blend into the Yuedan evaluation venue, he could only do so.

Before leaving, Yang Yi hid the brocade clothes close to his body, and in the afternoon, Yang Yi first ordered all the departments to rest in the inn, and sneaked out of the inn alone towards Xu's mansion.

Yang Yi, who was standing near the back street of Xufu, waited quietly, and had already found out that there would be vendors coming to deliver food at this time of the day.

After half the salary, sure enough, a man walked quickly along the street with vegetables on his shoulders, Yang Yi stepped forward to stop him as soon as possible, and under the premise of paying a lot of money, it was easy to take the burden and staggered towards the mansion.

"Why did you come?" The back door of Xu's mansion opened, and out of the forty-year-old fat man looked at Yang Yi with disdain, although he wondered why the body of the person who delivered the food had become so thin, but he was too lazy to care about this detail, and waved his hand to signal Yang Yi to follow.

Yang Yi picked up the dishes and followed the big man to the kitchen, and after the big man picked and chose the price, when he went to get the money, Yang Yi slipped out of the kitchen and walked towards the main courtyard as soon as possible.

Along the way, he carefully avoided the patrolling servants and the servants who came and went in a hurry, but fortunately, the information had already been bought with a lot of money, and with some luck, the road was unimpeded.

Standing in the courtyard of the mansion, Yang Yi was quickly attracted by the beautiful scenery around him, I have to say that the environment here is indeed very beautiful, there are many buildings in the large inner courtyard of the mansion, and the vermilion female wall seems to enclose the entire mansion into a city.

The elegant and exquisite artificial lake, the well-carved craggy rockery, the pavilions and pavilions are antique, the marble paved ground is shining, like a jewel, the buildings built by the mountains and trees are elegant and exquisite, and it is a great blessing in life to be able to live here.

At this time, the footsteps suddenly sounded, and Yang Yi was startled, and hurriedly hid behind the rockery and carefully hidden.

I only listened to the hurried butler of the housekeeper's low admonition: "I have cheered up and heard clearly, the master has made a friend of Mr. Ruan Yu to come to visit, and he must not lose his courtesy, and wait carefully between the banquets, if anyone makes a mistake, be careful that I pick his skin!" ”

"Yes." The servants replied in a low voice, not daring to stop for a moment, and followed closely behind the butler.

Yang Yi was determined in his heart, since Ruan Yu was here, even if he broke into the venue, he must have helped one or two, with the passage of time, Yang Yi, who had already changed into a brocade dress, lurked behind the rockery and waited only to feel that his stomach was empty, and he regretted it when he was hungry, and he knew that he would fill his stomach before leaving.

As the sky gradually darkened, the fragrance of the dishes served from time to time was appetizing, until the lanterns were rising, rows of high eaves and low walls were quietly hidden in the night, and the stone road reflected the moonlight and shone with silver dew extending into the distance, Yang Yi suddenly rushed out of the rockery for the first time and headed towards the banquet place.

From a distance, on the edge of the artificial lake, a group of guests kneeling on the side of the banquet bed, have already drunk three rounds of dishes and five flavors, the moonlight is hazy, the breeze is gentle, and the poetry is great for a while.

I only heard a scholar secretly groaning and then said aloud: "Luodu controls the eight poles, the fortress is four solid and beautiful spirits, the genus of anointing, the dew of the lush danlu, the white mist of the clear spring, the blue rock and the water, the purple glow and the color curtain, the waves of the Luoshui water, the cover of the verdant mountains, the rainbow in front of the wind, and the scattered clouds in the rain." ”

"Wonderful!" Immediately attracted a round of applause.

"Literati and, gathering singing and dancing, four masters gathered, waving and talking, too white, Zimei shouted, Lotte hated, and Daozi was inked."

Another scholar got up and said: "Although the wind and frost are spreading, the plants are invaded, and the warm sun melts the snow, and the plants and trees are melted, and the cover is covered with a mighty spirit, and the sky dares to borrow the glory of the heavenly palace and talk about being the capital of the world." ”

Everyone looked at Ruan Yu who was meditating, Ruan Yu smiled and raised his glass, walking back and forth, everyone present sat quietly, just throwing bricks and jade, everyone was waiting for Ruan Yu's words.

"The land of Heluo, the hometown of sages, the mountains and rivers are in the state of China, and the beauty is abundant in the state of Yanhuang. Looking at the mountains and favoring them, the water is full of spirits. Looking up at the cave of Longmen, I peeked at the elephant of the white horse. Stacked mountains and smoke, save the glow. ”

Ruan Yu drank all the wine in the cup, and said loudly: "Mining jade in the morning light, Angjin noodles in the sunset, green mountains and beautiful waters, purple air rippling, by Lan Gui and free, sac and musk and open, clouds fluttering and flying, the sun is shining and overflowing, people are swinging and chasing the sun, things are vast and long, why do I forge ahead, such as the profligacy?" ”

"Such a masterpiece should be floating!" As soon as Ruan Yu's voice fell, the applause was endless.

Ruan Yu did not shirk, and from time to time he raised a glass with the people who came to toast, but the man sitting alone in the middle of the seat attracted Yang Yi's attention, his appearance was dignified, and he was quite detached from drinking alone, since he was sitting in the main seat, he must be Xu Shao Xu Zi will be undoubted.
