188 Attending the meeting (four watches, asking for tickets)
On November 16, the sky is beautiful, the snowflakes are flying, only the snow is not sleet, the beautiful snowflakes seem to cover the earth, and the white space is a vast expanse between the sky and the earth.
Enjoying the snowflakes flying in the sky, making a good cup of tea or a pot of good wine in the house is definitely a pleasure to the eye.
But running outside on a snowy day is definitely a chore.
The snow falls on the ground, piled up thickly, if you don't step on it, a foot and a pit, the snow is trampled solid, and it becomes slippery, especially after the snow is stained with mud, it looks dirty and slippery, you can hang it with the mud, and accidentally fall to the ground, it will definitely fall a miserable.
In this kind of day, even Yaxing, who does not enjoy the snow, also nests at home for the winter, if there is a good mother-in-law rolling the sheets, it is a joy in life.
This day is an exception, because there is a Tan Zhe poetry club.
On the day of the poetry meeting, the famous talents in the capital will gather here, which can be said to be an annual literary event, and this literary event has slowly evolved into a festival celebrated by the whole people.
Readers can come here to read new masterpieces for the first time, and maybe they will make friends with similar interests; When the girls come here, they may find their Prince Charming in the vast sea of people, and there are many noble children and rich children here, and if they can't find Prince Charming, they may be able to hook a golden beetle son-in-law.
Ordinary people can follow the fun, can be incense, is to see the handsome men and beautiful women is also good, and to this day, there are also a lot of vendors near Tantuo Temple to sell, they also see the business opportunities brought by this event, and make a sum of money before the Chinese New Year.
At that time, there are many people who sell knives, pots, horses, jugglers, medicines, clothes, and all kinds of snacks, and it is as lively as a temple fair.
In fact, Tan Zhe Temple has been funded by the imperial court to repair and build over the years, and the scenery is very good, and it is also a great thing to come to enjoy the scenery.
There was not much entertainment in ancient times. Most people's lives are a bit monotonous, and they can't work in the winter anyway, so they just have fun.
Therefore, on the 16th day of November, the road from the capital to Tanzhe Temple was full of people, and everyone rushed to see the excitement.
For this event. Both Tanzhe Temple and the government attach great importance to it.
Before dawn, the monks of Tanshi Temple came out from the mountain gate, one by one with hoes and shovels in their hands, to clear the snow on the road, so as not to fall and get injured by the believers and visitors who come here.
Building bridges and repairing roads has always been a good deed to accumulate virtue.
The government also attaches great importance to this matter, and not only the Jinyi Wei spies are mixed in the crowd. To prevent emergencies, the Five Cities Terracotta Division will also deploy a large number of manpower to maintain law and order along the way.
To prevent someone from getting drunk and making trouble, the government even invited a team of Lang Zhong to stand by outside the temple.
Many of the invited talents were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, always thinking about how to make a splash.
Yu Jin's sleep was not good.
It's not that I can't sleep because of excitement, but I wake people up early in the morning.
"Young Master"
"Young master, young master. You wake up. ”
Yu Jin is having a dream that he is lying on a mountain of gold. He kept counting ingots of silver, as if he couldn't count them all, and when he was in the middle of the day, he seemed to hear someone calling for him, and then someone gently patted him on the shoulder.
When I opened my eyes wide, it was Xiao Mu, a little girl.
Big eyes. With a small nose and a small cherry mouth, as soon as he spoke, he showed his white and neat pearl teeth, and matched with the melon seed face. It's really a cute beauty embryo.
"Ah, Xiao Mu, what time is it?" Yu Jin asked with a yawn.
Xiao Mu said softly: "Young Master, there is still a quarter of an hour to come." ”
What the? Chenshi? A quarter of an hour away?
Yu Jin almost didn't collapse, the hour was 7 to 9 o'clock, and there was still a quarter of an hour to reach the hour, and in ancient times a quarter of an hour was 15 minutes, that is, it was about 6:45 in the morning.
Oh my God, you don't have to go to Yuwang's Mansion today, and you don't have to accompany Yuwang, a "super repeater", to study, you are ready to sleep well, Xiao Mu is not stupid, right?
It's not that I don't know that I like to sleep the most.
Yu Jin stretched out his hand and pinched the cute little face, and deliberately said with a tiger face: "Wake up the young master so early and punish you." ”
Xiao Mu had long figured out the temper of his young master, saying that the punishment was a joke, and he had always been very good to his subordinates.
It's teasing yourself.
"Young Master" Xiao Mu stuck out his tongue and said, "It's none of my business, someone is looking for you." ”
"Looking for me?" Yu Jin paused for a moment, and soon said with a puzzled face: "Who is looking for me this early in the morning?" ”
Even if you visit someone, you won't choose to come to the door at this time.
"The two sons of the Wei Mansion, they knocked on the door early in the morning, and Sister Qing'er asked them to wait in the living room, and then asked the little maid to wake up the young master."
No, the two goods of Xu Bangrui and Xu Bangning of the Wei State Mansion?
Came here early in the morning, didn't you get sick?
Two are the sons of a serious family, one of them is the next Duke of Wei, it can be said that the status is extremely high, he recently cooperated with them, built a fireplace in the capital, and did the business in Nanjing, with a relationship of interests, the friendship is getting better and better.
Yu Jin treats these two goods like a friend, but the people in the house can't.
As soon as I saw these two people, I felt uncomfortable and at a loss, and besides, everyone who came was a guest, so I woke myself up.
Bitter life, didn't you promise to go?
Coming to the door early in the morning, I dragged myself out of my dream, this is not a debt, it is a life.
The next person can't deal with these two guys, Yu Jin is also afraid of them, these two goods come to their own home, that is what they want, if they don't have a little quality, they are not bad money, they will leave silver when they take things, it is no different from the devils in later generations entering the village.
Recalling the scene when Xu Bangrui and Xu Bangning saw something good, their eyes would glow green, Yu Jin jumped up all of a sudden and said loudly: "Quick, help me change my clothes, so that the things will not be removed and kept in the dark." ”
Both brothers are veterans.
When Xiao Mu and Xiao Man heard it, they immediately helped Yu Jin change clothes.
They also knew that the two young masters of the Xu family were difficult, and there was one person in the family who could deal with them.
Yu Jin quickly put on the straight jacket that Qing'er ordered for him, wrapped his headscarf, put on white boots, and then ran to the living room non-stop.
"Big brother. Look, what's this round one? Crystals? It seems that the best crystal will not be so transparent, right? Xu Bangning held up a glass marble and said with a surprised expression.
This is the first time they have seen something of this material.
"I don't know, keep it, it's estimated to be very valuable." Xu Bangrui said with an affirmative face.
"Oh"
Xu Bangrui suddenly said, "Brother Bang." Listen, how can the wind chimes blow in the wind, and there is a faint sound of seventh-order music? ”
"It must be a good thing, take it away in a while, leave him fifty taels, no, one hundred taels, anyway, the day before yesterday I divided a thousand taels of silver." Xu Bangning said with a proud face.
Yu Jin's head was full of black lines, daring to love these two goods to treat his home as a shop, he would take whatever he liked, and he hadn't made a sound yet, they had set the price.
No wonder these two little maids were in such a hurry to wake themselves up.
In the future, we must promote a slogan to the subordinates in the family: windproof, fireproof, and second-hand goods.
It's not scientific, these two goods turned out to be the young master of the Guogong Mansion. They should be fighting each other but they are unusually united; is such a low-key person, and someone actually used a radical way to invite those two goods here by force; Tanzhe Temple is obviously a quiet place for Buddhism, not only agreeing to hold such a lively event, but also agreeing that they drink wine and eat meat in the temple.
Now that I think about it, rules are for people, and they can also be changed for people.
It's up to you to have the ability.
Princess Miaoyan, the daughter of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, felt that her father had killed too much. In order to atone for his father's sins, he went to Tanzhe Temple to become a monk. She knelt down in the Guanyin Hall every day to chant the scriptures, "Confession Guanyin", for a long time, she actually grinded out two deep foot sockets for a paving brick in the hall, and finally died in the temple.
The young master's Zen room and Princess Miaoyan's "brick worship" where the black-clothed prime minister Yao Guangxiao lived have been preserved even in later generations. It has become an extremely precious historical relic of Tanzhe.
Women can practice in the temple, breaking the custom that women can't stay in the temple, presumably holding a party in it to take the opportunity to expand their influence and popularity, it is not unacceptable.
It is said that if you are poor, you will think about change. Change is passable, general is beneficial, Yu Jin deeply admired the wisdom of the host of Tanzhe Temple.
"Ahem" Yu Jin retracted his thoughts and deliberately coughed dryly, attracting the attention of Xu Bangrui and Xu Bangning, and then said with a smile: "Two brothers Xu, come to the cold house early in the morning, I don't know what advice?" ”
Xu Bangning reluctantly let go of the peculiar wind chimes, turned around, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, why did you get up so early, the weather is cold, and the quilt is ambiguous." ”
"That's it," Xu Bangrui echoed: "We have known each other for so long, we are all our own people, we don't need to entertain us, we can do it ourselves." ”
Yes, you are at your own convenience, to the extent that you take whatever you like.
I'm afraid that it will be a little later, and it is estimated that these two goods will have to be loaded in a carriage.
Yu Jin said with a smile: "The two of you are distinguished guests who are difficult to invite, how can you snub the guests, and let the jokes pass out, by the way, Brother Xu, I don't know if you came early in the morning, what are your orders?" ”
"I can't tell you, since our brother wrote a package ticket to get you to the poetry club, just in case, I will come here and wait for you today, and the three of us will set off together." Xu Bangning said with a straight face.
"Brother Yu has never participated in the Tanzhe Poetry Club, and our brother specially led the way for Brother Yu." Xu Bangrui added on the side.
Lead the way?
That's too zealous, isn't it?
Yu Jin was a little speechless, the two brothers of the Xu family were too concerned about themselves, I don't know who had such a big face, or what kind of benefits they gave to the two brothers of the Xu family, so that they were so positive.
It's all blocked at the doorstep.
Yu Jin also knocked on the left a few times, don't look at the two brothers' IQs are not high, but the tone is extremely dense, and they refuse to say whether they live or die.
But even if he didn't say it, Yu Jin also vaguely guessed whose handiwork.
It's just, is it really that important to get yourself into that poetry club?
"Young master, breakfast is ready." At this time, Qing'er stepped forward to report.
Yu Jin nodded, turned around and asked, "Brother Xu, have you had breakfast, why don't you eat some together?" ”
"Good!" Unexpectedly, the two responded in unison.
I didn't think of myself as an outsider.
Qing'er's breakfast was good, even the Xu brothers praised it again and again, and the three big men swept away the pastries on the table.
The process of the Tan Tuo Poetry Club is to enjoy the flowers in the morning, taste the wine at noon, and compete for the championship in the afternoon, which will be completed in one day, mainly for the sake of safety.
There will be a curfew every night in the capital, so most of the people should go to the city after dark, otherwise the flow of people is too large, and there are not so many guest rooms in Tantuo Temple, the weather is cold, so that visitors are prone to accidents in the field overnight, so the process is also a day.
Of course, if the talented people who participated in the poetry meeting got drunk, there were enough quiet rooms in Tanzhe Temple.
The journey to Tanzhe Temple is not far, but every year there are a large number of people onlookers, the road is very congested, after breakfast, a little rest, Yu Jin decided to set off.
It's not bad to go early, just catch up with the temple fair, and say that Tanzhe Temple covers a large area, and you may not be able to visit it in one day, so it's good to go to play early.
Yu Jin, Qing'er, Xiaoman Xiaomu, Deng Yong, and Zhang Ben all went, Yu Jin and the three girls sat in the carriage, and Deng Yong and Zhang Ben rode to follow, which could be used as a way to open the road if necessary.
In fact, there is no need to drive, the carriage of the Xu family walked in front, and when other carriages saw it, they avoided it one after another, and those soldiers who were in charge of order saw the carriage of the Duke of Wei, and rushed to open the way for it one by one.
The journey was relatively smooth, until they went up the mountain, and the group got off the carriage and walked up the mountain.
When he was about to go up the mountain, Yu Jin pulled Xu Bangrui aside and said with a straight face: "Brother Xu, there is something I want to ask clearly. ”
"Okay, you ask." Xu Bangrui said briskly.
Yu Jin said with a puzzled face: "Yu is just a nobody, the two brothers value me so much, they dragged me to the poetry club, I treat the two as brothers, now I just want to ask, won't there be any traps waiting for me?" ”
"What? What do our brothers want to do, and they have to do it, Brother Yu, you, you" Xu Bangrui was anxious for a while, and wanted to scold Yu Jin, but Yu Jin was really reasonable, and he couldn't scold it.
This thing is too abnormal, and I have to be suspicious of myself.
Xu Bangrui sighed, and then said helplessly: "Okay, don't hide it from Brother Yu, our brother is indeed entrusted by others, and we must bring Brother Yu to the poetry club." ”
After that, he explained the reason and Yu Jin in detail.
It turned out that the brothers of the Xu family lost a pair of ancestral jade pendants in a trick of money, and they thought they would not come back, but they didn't expect someone to tell them that as long as Yu Jin was invited to the poetry meeting, the jade pendant would be returned to the brothers.
If the two of them can't do it, they will always see the pair of family heirloom jade pendants.
There was a chance to get the jade pendant back, and it didn't take much effort to say it, and the two brothers immediately agreed.
After speaking, Xu Bangrui said solemnly: "The Tan Zhe Poetry Club is to meet friends with literature, it has always been above board, there will be absolutely no traps, if Brother Yu has something, our brothers will be the first to rush out and block in front of Brother Yu." ”
Yu Jin is refreshing and righteous, especially when he gets rich, he doesn't forget to pull his brother, Xu Bangrui admires Yu Jin very much, and feels that he is not doing things authentically, so he immediately promised. (To be continued......)
