"Lord Qin, why did you arrive? Are you blaming me, an old man, for not coming to the door to greet you? ”

The first of the several gentry who came forward was naturally the host of the banquet, Duke Wei Dafu, and the few people behind him were definitely dressed very well, revealing a strong bookish atmosphere.

"Lord Wei, if you say this, you can kill the juniors. The younger generation is just a young boy, and it is already flattered to have the honor to participate in the banquet in the house, where do you dare to work hard? Qin Dui's attitude was sincere, and he apologized again and again.

"Boy, I haven't seen you for a few years, but the more you learn, the more oily your mouth becomes." A familiar voice came from behind Wei Dafu.

As soon as these words came out, many people around them were sideways, who was so arrogant and bold that he dared to speak like this in front of the Duke of the Emperor's Majesty who held the military and political power of the two places? Who else can there be besides Dean Li Shaoqin!

"Father-in-law, you can do it, don't smoke my old bottom again, okay? My son-in-law is here to salute you. ”

Qin Duan's hearty laughter infected many people around him, and seeing that this young man, who was called the King of the Northwest by some people in China, was so funny and generous, several people standing behind Wei Dafu smiled.

"Huh." Li Shaoqin laughed happily, with such a good son-in-law, Li Shaoqin also has a light on his face, there are not many such sons-in-law in the entire empire.

"Come on, Lord Qin, I'll introduce you to some friends, I think that although you have spent some days in the capital, I'm afraid there are still many celebrities in our imperial capital that you don't necessarily know, right?"

Wei Dafu smiled and took Qin Du's hand, "Dean Li Shaoqin doesn't need me to introduce you, you are already in a relationship with Weng and son-in-law, come, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Ju Zhen, the president of the Imperial University." ”

The old man in front of him, with white hair and a ruddy face, is the famous university scholar Ju Zhen? Qin Duan hurriedly stepped forward and clasped the other party's hands according to the etiquette of the Great Qin clan and said, "The name of Mr. Jiuwen in the junior generation. It's a lifetime of happiness to see it today. ”

Although he was not born in a scholar family, his attainments in literature and history were unmatched in the empire, and even famous scholars from various countries in the Western Continent often came from thousands of miles to ask for advice, and won great honor for the empire in the academic world.

"Lord Qin is too polite, your lord's name is shocking the continent. His merits are comparable to that of General Li Guang of the previous dynasty, and he is really a model for young people to learn from. ”

The white-haired old man smiled and patted Qin Dui's shoulder affectionately, "If the old man has a granddaughter, she must marry a young hero like an adult." I heard that His Majesty the Emperor was very concerned about the marriage of adults. ”

The white-haired old man's last sentence immediately attracted the attention of many people around him, especially some people with a heart who pricked up their ears and wanted to wait for Qin Duan's answer.

"Ju Lao, you have an overreputation, how can Qin Dusk be virtuous. How can you be so complimented? The younger generation is deeply ashamed. As for the marriage, the younger generation already has a few family affairs, so he didn't think about it anymore, and His Majesty the Emperor asked about such last things, but he was just considering that the younger generation had been on the border for many years and cared about his subordinates, and he couldn't take it seriously, and he couldn't take it seriously. Qin Dui even dissolved. dissolved the turmoil that Ju Zhen's words might cause.

"Yes, Lord Qin is still young. There is also time to arrange these things, but this time Lord Qin should have a good rest and rest for a while in the imperial capital, so that the celebrities and ladies in the imperial capital can have more opportunities to get acquainted with you, don't you say? ”

The middle-aged man next to Ju Zhen answered the conversation and soothed Qin Duan's cheeks. Although the man was dark-skinned, he had an extraordinary temperament. There is a kind of elegance in the gestures.

"This Lord Qin is not familiar with it yet, right? My fellow countryman, Mr. Quan Shunnan, the owner of the famous Fenghua Poetry Garden in the imperial capital. Wei Dafu saw that Qin Dui's gaze fell on the middle-aged man, and hurriedly introduced.

"Oh? But there is the Fenghua Poetry Garden, which is known as the 'Fenghua Poetry Garden, the peerless Fenghua'? Qin Duan was also stunned when he heard this.

This Fenghua Poetry Garden was originally just a folk literature group in the imperial capital, and it was originally nothing. But since 50 years ago, there was a genius poet Bai Mu in the poetry garden, he traveled all his life in the world's famous mountains and rivers, and wrote countless moving poems that were popular among the people, not only the people of the Eastern Continent rushed to recite, but also in many places in the Central and Western Continents were translated into Tianfang and Lanian and widely circulated, and there were even people who were not familiar with Bai Mu's poems in the Japanese land and were not worthy of being called scholars, and were worshiped as saints by the scholars among the Japanese people.

Xie Jin, a famous contemporary genius, once commented on Bai Mu with a classic sentence: "The pen falls into a storm, and the poem becomes a crying ghost and god." Bai Mu's influence can be seen from this, and Fenghua Shiyuan has since become a sacred place for Chinese inkers in the upper class of the empire, and the noble children of the imperial capital have also taken pride in studying Fenghua Shiyuan.

"Your Excellency has also heard of the name of our garden?" The middle-aged man smiled and talked, he laughed and his face rippled with a unique charm of a mature man, even Qin Du, who had read a lot of people, secretly admired, "It seems that the upper class of the imperial capital is rumored to be wise and resolute, both civil and military, and it is indeed true, he is really a hero of our dynasty, and it is no wonder that the children of our society admire him." ”

"Thin name? Mr. Quan is too modest, if this Fenghua Poetry Garden can only be called a thin name, no one in the world will dare to call it a scholar. ”

Qin Duan laughed loudly, "As for Qin Dui's severity, I know that Mr. must not hold it too high, it hurts a lot when it falls." ”

"My lord laughed."

The middle-aged man answered with a smile, and naturally stretched out his hand to shake Qin Duan's outstretched hand, "Fortunately, it's a pleasure to meet you, if you have the opportunity to invite you to take a walk in our garden, the disciples of our garden are all looking forward to it." ”

"It must be, it is Qin's honor to be a guest in Fenghua Poetry Garden, and when Li is busy in the past few days, he will definitely visit Mr." Qin Duan hurriedly said.

Next, Wei Dafu introduced several famous people in the cultural and artistic circles of the imperial capital to Qin Du, and Qin Dui greeted them one by one, and his modest and polite style made these people very satisfied.

"The three princesses of Yuejing Kingdom, Li Qingke, Li Qingshi, and Li Qingyun have arrived!"

When the doorman's deep voice sounded again, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the hall once again focused on the purple-red velvet curtain.

Qin Duan is no exception, I have long heard that Li Deguang, the king of Yuejing, is cowardly and incompetent, but he has given birth to several good daughters of Tianzi and Guozi, not only with a peerless appearance, but also has a very high talent in poetry and songs, and even a few poems in the empire are highly evaluated.

If you have this opportunity today, you have to take a good look, Qin Dui's restless heart couldn't help but flutter again, "Don't let me down!" Qin Duan prayed secretly. (To be continued......)
