Luo Guoqi and Tong Shengyang successfully dated the Liu family.

There is a shortage of soldiers, many friends and many roads, and no one thinks that there are many friends. What's more, Tong Shengyang has a background in Haidong and is the righteous brother of King Yan. The Liu family was very enthusiastic about him, and he felt at home, and the rise of the Liu family's son-in-law who talked with him almost made friends. It's not that Tong Shengyang is unwilling, Luo Guoqi politely refused.

He reminded Tong Shengyang: "Low-key, low-key. "If you become brothers, once it spreads, it will definitely arouse unnecessary suspicion in Yidu. And Tong Shengyang is the righteous brother of King Yan, he worships a brother, what is the relationship with King Yan? Since Tong Shengyang became the righteous brother of King Yan, he is not an ordinary person, and he needs to be paid attention to at all times. You can't cause trouble for King Yan.

Luo Guoqi's side is very smooth, and Wang Zongzhe and Yang Xingjian are also doing things step by step.

Yang Xingjian and Tian Jialie argued at the banquet and did not fall behind. The banquet was attended by all high-ranking officials of Yidu, and soon after the banquet was over, Yang Xingjian's reputation for "being able to speak well and argue" spread. Although this has aroused the hostility of some people, it is simply unreasonable for a small school official from the seventh grade to dare to stand up to the dignified Yidu Youcheng! But for old officials like Ji Zongzhou, they don't care.

In the end, they are demoted, and their intimacy with Yidu is far from being related to each other. Even, hearing that Tian Jialie was deflated, some of them actually had schadenfreude. Tian Jialie has no fame, the small people in the past, and now they are standing on their heads, even if they are only willing to make promises in person, there are many people who are not convinced behind their backs.

Therefore, Yang Xingjian is very popular with them. Coupled with Wang Zongzhe's identity as Sanyuan and Zhuangyuanlang, it is rare in the world and rare in a century. Lianzhong Sanyuan, usually only heard in books, today the real person is in front of you. How rare. Even if Wang Zongzhe doesn't have any great talents, if he can meet him, the literati who are so famous will inevitably feel that they are also worth doubled, at least they have more talking points, so that they can brag about it in the future.

If there are good things, later statistics, in just a few days after Wang Zongzhe arrived in Yidu, the poetry output of Yidu literati rose sharply, and the highest one, seventy or eighty poems came out in one day. It was a sensation.

The content is varied, there are "and the champion Lang will drink in the pavilion, the clouds are light and the sky is high, so this poem is given", there is "Haidong Wang Zhishu serves the imperial history, to the positive champion, even in the three yuan, sometimes there is a grand event, full of heroes, Yu also accompanied the last seat, is endowed with this poem", and so on. Without exception, there must be one or a few lines in all the poems that point out the identity of Wang Zongzhe, and he looks like he is honored.

Until many years later, there were people who had participated in the grand event and met Wang Zongzhe to tell their children about this "once-in-a-century grand gathering", and their eyebrows danced and gushed endlessly.

Luo Guoqi, Wang Zongzhe and others go out early in the morning and return late at night. On this day, Luo Guoqi came back early. With a happy face, he turned into the study, where Dunshe was reading. Seeing that he was so happy, Dunshe asked, "How?" Something happened, so happy. ”

Luo Guoqi said: "The minister has a good thing, and he wants to tell the lord." ”

"Come on."

"I don't know if the lord can know about the restoration of the Holy Father?"

"There are three thousand holes, the most virtuous and beautiful." The book Deng She read happened to be the "Analects", and he turned to the "Yongye Chapter" and read Confucius's words praising Yan Yuan, "'Virtuous Hui Ye. 'Is what Luo Gong said about Yan Hui? "Yan Yuan, in the Tang Dynasty, respected him as Yan Gong; In the Song Dynasty, he was crowned as the Duke of Yanguo; In the Yuan Dynasty, during the reign of Wenzong, he was also respected as the Holy Father of Yanguo.

"Exactly. I don't know if the lord knows Yanzi anymore, where is it now? ”

"I don't know."

"Yan Ziben Lu Guo Qufu people, and their descendants are divided into two sects: north and south. The Yan family of the Northern Sect, living in Qufu, to the Yuan period, was divided into 12 households according to the region. The person who worships the Lord is a large family, also known as Hanbo Mansion. The patriarch of the current big clan is named Yan Meimei, who is the fifty-sixth grandson of Yan Zi. ”

Deng She was inexplicable and said, "Then, what? ”

"Yan Meimei once used to be a pseudo-Yuan Yidu Xuezheng, and her children and brothers came from each other. Later, Yan Meili was transferred to Luzhou Mansion as a professor, but because of the long road, she only brought her two sons with her. His younger brother Yan Zhixi, who came with him in Yidu, did not go with him, but settled in the local area. The minister just came out of Liu's house, and he met this Yan Zhixi at Liu's house. ”

"Yan Zhixi? Yanzi Miao? ”

"Yes."

"Okay, haha, okay." Deng She put down the "Analects", got up and turned around twice, and said two "good" words in a row.

If you want to say that the beauty of that face, from Yidu Xue to a professor in Luzhou Mansion, is not considered powerful, and she is still an official Meng Yuan. And listening to the meaning of Luo Guoqi's words, his younger brother Yan Zhixi is even more white. It doesn't seem to have any status, but I can't help their identity. Yan Zi Miao, who doesn't know Yan Yuan? The descendants of the restoration of the saint are awe-inspiring when they hear it. Moreover, Yan Meimei was worshiped by the Yan clan of the Northern Sect, and it was very different from the other eleven households, and it was a cut higher. He was very prestigious among the scholars.

To put it bluntly, why did Kublai Khan worship the Confucian Temple, and why did the successive dynasties continue to seal Confucius and Yan Yuan? Why can the descendants of Confucius be crowned as the Holy Princes of Yan and inherit them from generation to generation? There is no other reason, pure respect for cultural heritage. Yan Sheng Gong has become a cultural symbol to a large extent.

There are 3,000 disciples of Confucius, 72 sages, and Yan Yuan is the first.

"Yan Zi Miao." Dunshe repeated, "Good, good! I couldn't help but say hello twice in succession.

He said: "Yan Zi Miao, I need to come to visit." Then he shook his head in denial, saying, "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate." Rushing to the door seems a bit reckless. ......, well, that's it, Luo Gong, when we came from Haidong, I remember that I brought a lot of ancient books of calligraphy and painting. You go and pick some out, and give them to him for me first,......, and give them to the descendants of the resurrection. Then, I'll pay a visit. ”

Luo Guoqi smiled: "But it's also difficult to send." ”

"Why?"

"The minister has expressed his desire to visit Yan Zhixi on behalf of the lord and meet him."

"What did he say?"

"I can't ask for it."

"When?"

"Just waiting for the lord to be free, he said to be waiting at any time."

Dunsher is available now. He laughed and said, "It's better to rush early." You meet in the morning, and we will go to the invitation in the afternoon. How is it? Luo Guoqi said: "I don't dare to ask for ears." "The earlier you go, the more sincerity you have. The two looked at each other and smiled. In the afternoon, Deng She cleaned up, picked up a few gifts of calligraphy and painting, and went out to Yan's Mansion with Luo Guoqi.

The Yan family is famous, but not wealthy.

Yan Zhixi's home, but there are two entrances in the front and back, the front meets guests, and the back lives people. Hearing that Deng She was coming, Yan Zhixi personally greeted him out. He was about forty years old, of medium height, with an elegant countenance, a high nose, a few shallow wrinkles on his forehead, and three long strands of beard under his chin, which fluttered slightly as he walked.

"Distinguished guests come to the door, and they are shining. Meet His Royal Highness King Yan. ”

Deng She stepped forward, helped him up, and said: "The old gentleman has a good reputation, and I have admired him for a long time. It's a great honor to see you today. Today we speak only of the young and the old, and we do not distinguish between the inferior and the inferior. Please get up quickly, no need to be polite. "In the end, Yan Zhixi's white body. Although he spoke politely, he did not bow back, but only lifted him up and bowed.

Everyone divided the order of guests and went to the main hall.

The front yard of the Yan family does not occupy a large area. There is a well in the corner and several locust trees in the courtyard. It's June, and the flowers are blooming. The locust flowers of the tree are as white as snow, and they are piled up among the green leaves one by one, and there are also those that fall on the ground, and the courtyard is full of dark fragrance. Many bees and butterflies flutter around the trees, and from time to time a few cicadas chirp.

Deng She said with a smile: "The night rain and acacia flowers fall, and it is slightly cool and lies in Beixuan." The old gentleman lives in seclusion, and it is true that the peach blossom paradise is also. ”

"How dare you live in a snail's alley?"

"Not really. There is a great deal of talk and laughter, there is no white ding, Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin. The old gentleman has excellent character and learning, both ability and political integrity, even if he lives in a snail's house, he is also a famous room. Why be too modest? ”

The dance text was inked and two sentences were dropped in the bookbag. Yan Zhixi's perception of Deng She was very different, and he thought: "I heard that he was originally reckless, but he didn't expect to be so elegant!" "Had a good first impression. Be courteous and invite Deng She to speak in the main hall. Dunshe gave up his hand and asked him to go first.

The front and back entrances of the Yan family are connected by side doors, and the side door is a moon door, diagonally facing the main hall. Before entering the hall, Dunshe caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a garden in the backyard, full of flowers, and three or two teenagers playing there. He didn't care. The group entered the hall and sat down separately. Tea is served to the house.

"For the benefit of the people of the capital, King Yan worked tirelessly and crossed the sea. There is no respect in the next, only this good cup of tea, talk about the heart. ”

"Yidu and Haidong are originally a family. Yidu was betrayed, and Haidong came to the rescue, which is right. The old gentleman was so polite. Deng She took a sip of tea, the entrance was moist, the aftertaste was long, and praised, "It's really good tea." ”

He doesn't pay much attention to tea, and he can distinguish between good and bad. Luo Guoqi knew better than him, took two sips, and said with a smile: "Not only the tea is good, but the water is also good." Lord, please see, this bowl of tea, the soup is clear and clear, and the drink in the mouth is light and fresh, with the cold air of ice and snow. ......, Mr. Yan, if you guessed correctly, it should be snow water? ”

"It was a few years ago, when the spring snow harvested from the plum blossoms was buried in the ground, and it was not long after it was civilized. Not much, only half an urn. King Yan is here, there is nothing to entertain, just this cup of tea. Please don't dislike King Yan. ”

The three of them talked for a long time.

Yan Zhixi not only intended to greet him, but Deng She also intended to be friendly with him, and Luo Guoqi was left and right, so he was happy with both the guests and the host. Yan Zhixi sighed: "There is no false name! Corporal Yan Wang Lixian, respecting the old and re-teaching. In the next few days, I often hear friends and friends mention King Yan, all praise, all say that King Yan is benevolent and worthy of his name! ”

"Xiao Mao Pingzhang of your province is young and intelligent, sweeping the floor of the king Kuanren and loving people. How dare I mention this fame in front of the Magi? Over-reputation, I really dare not take it. ”

Yan Zhixi said: "The ancients said: white hair is like new, and the cover is the same. Although he met King Yan for the first time, King Yan's demeanor really made him feel broken. Is there a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not? ”

"It's for loyalty. Please speak, old sir. ”

"Xiao Mao Pingzhang is smart, but he regrets his youth. The sweeping king Kuanren has lived in this alley for several years. Before the sweeper came, he lived here. Since last year, the sweeping king has twice posted a list to seek talents, inviting talented people to learn from all the people, thinking that he is an assistant, but he has never been to his home. The young country is suspicious, and he loves the people and does not enter the poor alley. I don't know what to do. ”

Deng She smiled slightly and said: "The sweeping king has a lot of opportunities and heavy government affairs, so it is understandable that he has no time to come to the old gentleman for a while." He looked calm on the surface, but secretly surprised in his heart. Yan Zhixi was really shallow and profound, and he couldn't guess the meaning of his words. Suddenly, such a sentence is hidden, and there is a resentment towards Yidu, which is almost a complaint, which is very abrupt.

But it was because he didn't understand Yan Zhixi.

In fact, not only Yan Zhixi, but many scholars in Yidu, including some officials, often have a fear of precariousness. Since ancient times, Shandong has been the place of four wars. In terms of the topography of Shandong, one side faces the sea, like a fan, the bottom is narrow and the face is wide, and there is the possibility of being attacked on three sides. Although there is Mount Tai in the west, there is no danger of recovering the mountain, and there is the sea in the east but there is no deep danger of the capital of the Aogu, and the radius is not large, and there is a lack of depth. As soon as several dangers are broken, the whole territory may not be protected.

When there is a war, Shandong is easy to become a separatist. However, those who occupy Shandong rarely succeed. Why? Later generations commented that Shandong is easy to die if it is weak by self-discipline, and it is enough to strengthen itself and gather trouble by attacking others. Honestly.

Put down the present and say, if Wang Shicheng is aggressive, it would be fine, he is not, sitting on a few roads, not thinking of enterprising, sitting and watching Tian Feng open up the territory in front, he is leisurely and happy in the back, no ambition, and said politely, the dog ears of the household. How can a person with insight not be worried about this?

As far as Yan Zhixi is concerned, if Chakhan Timur calls and Shandong returns to Yuantu, it is naturally the best. I'm afraid, even if Chahan calls, will Shandong really be safe from now on?

Fang has a dispute today, and heroes are everywhere. Who knows who killed the deer? Except for those who are loyal to the Yuan Room, but those who have some talents, at this time, who doesn't wait and see? I want to choose the Lord.

The world's articles are in Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan articles are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Qingtian Liu Ji and Jinhua Song Lian, the reputation of the two of them, who in the northern and southern Confucian forests does not know? Especially Liu Ji, who regarded the red scarf as a coward earlier, hated to eat its flesh and slept on its skin, so last year, he spared no effort to assist Shi Mo Yisun in trying to pacify Jiangnan for Meng Yuan. Now, didn't he also answer Zhu Yuanzhang's call and go to Jinling with Song Lian?

Those who know the times are Junjie.

Yan Zhixi's elder brother is the official Meng Yuan, he is in Yidu, and the two brothers are in the enemy country. And Yidu Red Scarf, how vulgar and unliterate, he can live unharmed for many years under such circumstances, which shows that he is not a pedantic person who does not know current affairs. Haidong Dengshe, less than a year later, pacified Liaodong, covered Haidong, was not weak in the year, and became famous. Knowing soldiers and being good at fighting, being able to govern benevolently, and having a benevolent reputation. If you want to know the Lord? Isn't this a ready-made master?

Moreover, Yan Zhixi only met with Luo Guoqi in the morning, and Deng She came to visit in the afternoon, if he was not sincere, why was this so? Since Deng She came, in fact, he has been secretly observing, and in the process of dialogue, he found that Deng She is indeed benevolent, just like the wind comment. ——, past few days, he had heard similar comments about Deng She from many places and from different people.

Therefore, he finally made up his mind to provoke him with his words, and wanted to test Deng She's ambition. Dunshe avoided answering.

Luo Guoqi played a round and said: "I heard the son of the Liu family say that the old man's calligraphy is the best in Qilu, and I would like to see it." "I want to see Yan Zhixi's Mobao.

Yan Zhixi smiled modestly, and was about to speak, when a crisp smile suddenly came from outside the hall, like a bell, pleasant to the ear. Deng She and the others turned their heads when they heard this, and saw that it was a handsome young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a scarf and a wide robe.

But seeing that this young man entered the hall, a pair of eyes turned to Deng She, although he saw the living, he didn't care, and ran straight to Yan Zhixi's side, tugged at his clothes, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you have to make decisions for me." ”

Deng She and Luo Guoqi glanced at each other, and Luo Guoqi smiled: "Dare to be a nephew?" Sure enough, the talent is handsome. Yan Zhixi smiled bitterly: "But it made King Yan see the joke." It turned out that the boy was not a man, but a woman. Not a "nephew", but a niece. is the daughter of Yan Zhixi's brother Yan Meimei, and now lives in his house.

Deng She turned his eyes to look again, and it was really good. Seeing that although the young man was wearing a scarf, it was difficult to hide his beauty; Dressed in wide clothes, it shows off the waist. It's not just a daughter.

Yan Zhixi said: "My brother is outside, so I handed over my family to take care of it." He instructed the girl and said, "Your honorable guest, this one is the king of Haidong Yan, and this one is Haidong Luo's participation in politics." Ah Rong, Hugh is naughty, come and see you. ”

The girl was obedient, but she refused to be blessed, she imitated the appearance of a man, lifted her front placket, knelt on the ground, and said: "Yan Jiashurong, I have seen His Royal Highness King Yan, Luo participated in politics." ”

She is pretty, learns manly manners, behaves and deeds, and has a unique flavor. Deng She saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but move in his heart. He didn't make a big deal, got up and saluted back, and said, "Miss Yan is a saint and a Miao descendant, I'm just a martial artist, how dare I accept this big gift?" Shame shame. ”

Yan Zhixi was helpless and said: "When this girl is a girl, she has a strange appearance, and the room is full of fragrance. Therefore, he is most favored by the elderly in the family, pampered, and stubborn since childhood. Good daughter's house, I prefer to dress up men's clothes. His Royal Highness King Yan should not be surprised. ”

"How dare you, how dare you."

Luo Guoqi said with a smile: "Women don't let their eyebrows be shaved, that's how it should be." He smiled and asked Yan Shurong, "What do you need your uncle to do for you?" ”

Yan Shurong was not afraid of life, so she straightened her clothes slightly, so she stood there, raised her legs, and patted the dust on her clothes when she saluted. She came from the back garden, her clothes were stained with fallen flowers, she didn't notice it at first, but when she saw it, she took it off together, refused to throw it on the ground, took out the shark handkerchief, and wrapped it carefully.

She behaved naturally and generously, put the shark handkerchief back into her sleeve, and then replied crisply: "The pear blossoms are crisp and pear-fragrant." I was under the pear tree in the garden, drinking with Diao Chan and Xi Shi, and throwing pots to write poems. Who knew that the brother of the Mo family was so naughty and threw me with a stone. When I went to beat him, I ran away again, so Uncle Yang was in charge. ”

Deng She and Luo Guoqi looked at each other. Diao Chan, Shih Tzu? Brother of the Mo family?

Yan Zhixi explained: "Diao Chan and Xi Shi are the names given to her two maidservants by this niece. The boy of the Mo family, that is, the son of Mo Tianlang, is named Mo Ziyou. The Mo family is a famous family, and when his brother was a pseudo-Yuan Yidu, Mo Ziyou once worshipped his brother as a teacher, and he was already familiar with his niece. ”

Diao Chan and Xi Shi are the four beauties of the ancient world, and it is really interesting to give such a name to the maid.

Dunshe couldn't help but laugh. He had never seen such a naughty daughter, and thought to himself, "If there are four maids, won't the other two be called Zhaojun and Yuhuan?" "If you want to ask each other, it's abrupt, so I can't bear it. Luo Guoqi saw the clue and said with a smile: "With Diao Chan and Xi Shi, can there be Zhaojun and Yuhuan?" ”

When they first met, they were far from familiar. Although Luo Guoqi asked questions on behalf of the master, he inevitably seemed presumptuous, and he would definitely not answer if he changed to another woman. Yan Shurong said anything, she was generous, not shy, and replied seriously: "It's a pity that there aren't so many maids." ”

Dunshe burst out laughing.

Yan Zhixi hurriedly said: "I am talking about important matters with King Yan, don't make trouble here." What kind of man does the daughter's family learn to drink and throw pots, and write poems? Go back to your room quickly. ”

Yan Shurong took a long look, sang a promise to go out, and before leaving, she did not forget to say goodbye to Deng She and Luo Guoqi: "Two distinguished guests, please sit down, don't work to send each other." "Very polite, like a little adult.

Deng She watched her leave, until her figure faded away, and he still looked at her again.

Yan Zhixi coughed and said, "This woman is usually too pampered, and today she bumped into a distinguished guest, which really made me panic." Luo Guoqi smiled: "Sincere and innocent, naturally lovely." Words and deeds with others, a true color. The so-called 'bare-like' in ancient times is also, how can you say it? King Yan, are you right? ”

"Oh? Yes, yes. ”

Deng She came back to his senses, picked up the tea, and couldn't help but look outside the hall again, the acacia flowers in the courtyard were as gorgeous as snow.
