In the second year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on August 5, the sky was clear and the sky was clear.

On this day, the people who went to Fengming Mountain paved the mountain road. Not only the local residents of the capital, but also many outsiders who came to visit, all came to the banquet with the flowing water.

"Stop ahead." Shen Tingnian looked at the people on the mountain road from the open curtains, she actually forgot that today was the day of the Fenglai Academy's Qushui Liuyu banquet, and it was difficult for them to go up the mountain at noon according to the carriage's itinerary.

Shu Tai drove the carriage to the side of the road and stopped, then got out of the car and walked to the car window, although he only saw half of Shen Tingnian's face, but he still lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look directly, "What do you command?" ”

Shen Tingnian frowned and hesitated, "Can you bring a horse?" ”

Shu Tai shook his head and refused without thinking about it: "No, there are many and many pedestrians on this road, and it is dangerous to ride a horse, not to mention ...... The mother is not good at riding. ”

It's already a very euphemistic way to say that she is not good at riding, Shen Tingnian has only ridden a few times, and when she returns, the prince has to watch from the side before allowing her to ride, what is the difference between Shu Tai letting her ride a horse and directly injuring her? Aren't they all waiting for the prince to clean himself up?

"Then you take me on a ride."

"This-" Shu Tai was stunned, he even raised his head to stare at her with wide eyes, and after recognizing that she wasn't joking, he stammered in fright, "Wan...... Never. ”

Is this to his death? Just the temper of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... As someone who grew up with him, he knew it all too well. Shu Tai shuddered, took a step back and saluted, "Please take back your life." ”

In terms of identity, he also has the title of a marquis, and he also holds the real power of the forbidden army, and it is already a great honor to pull down his identity to protect her.

Shen Tingnian was also helpless, she was in a hurry to go up the mountain, and naturally knew that it was impossible to let Shu Tai take her to ride, "Commander Shu, choose one of the two, you can do it." ”

This woman did it on purpose, does he still have a choice...... Shu Tai scolded his mother again in his heart, he had a bad brain to do such a thing, but you have a good plan, why haven't I crossed the wall ladder.

He looked up at the towering city gate in the distance, and could faintly see the dusty road, as if a fast horse was galloping, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly: "Please Niangniang later, the minister will arrange it." ”

Shen Tingnian, who was keenly aware of the change in his expression, subconsciously looked at the sky, the prince should have gone down to the court, but he didn't catch up so quickly.

Shu Tai walked to the back of the carriage and gave a whistle, and soon the sound of harmony was heard back.

He had already arranged for someone to send a message to the prince, and then drove a carriage around the city before coming out, Shen Ting lived in the palace for a long time, so he naturally didn't know what roads to take to get out of the city in the north and south.

After waiting for a while, Shen Tingnian had already reacted to being pitted, she got up early and was a little sleepy, and she even took a nap halfway, and the maids who served her in the carriage were all from the Qianqiu Palace, not as good as Min Yunyue Zhu could listen to herself, and she would not remind her that the journey was wrong, she would be protected by them before and after she even stood up, which showed that she had already been explained.

Pu Yangxu caught up with Shen Tingnian, who left the palace without permission, he didn't have a cold face, but sat on the horse with a smile, he remembered that this woman was a thief in the morning and fell out of bed just to obey his warrant, and pretended to cover her tracks with her belly pocket, how funny she thought.

Shen Tingnian got off the carriage with the maid's hand, looked up at Pu Yangxu who was high above, pursed his mouth, and took the initiative to reach out, almost at the same time Pu Yangxu bent down and held her hand, and escorted her to step on the stirrup and get on the horse.

Shen Tingnian sat down firmly, a hat was covered, she shook her head and refused to wear it, Pu Yangxu controlled the reins with one hand, and the horse walked forward, "Don't make trouble, the wind and dust are big, and you will be blind......ed later."

When the prince went out of the city, even if he was in Weifu, he was accompanied by a guard, and when passers-by saw this battle, they all gave way. Horses can run much faster than carriages.

"How can there be any ......wind and dust when the horse runs" Shen Tingnian has always disliked being restrained, pinching his palm to prevent him from wearing the strap of his hat.

"I said yes, yes."

"Nope."

"Yes."

Shu Tai, who followed behind, couldn't bear to hear about it, how old is this?

When it comes to this feast, I can't talk about the dispute between Shen Xue and Zeng Xue.

Shen Xue is based on the Shen family's family learning, advocating 'teaching in the young, governing the country, the world is a teacher, and everyone learns. And because Shen opened this school to teach the world is a woman, once set off a monstrous wave, but the women's admission was supported by the royal nobles, the most glorious time Shen Xue was set as the right way to govern the country, and students from all over the world flocked to it.

After the decline of the Shen family, Shen Xue also entered the cold winter period, and then many schools of thought emerged, but they were short-lived like a flash in the pan.

This Zeng Xue advocated 'edutainment, both civil and military. It stands to reason that there is no conflict between Shen Zeng's two schools, why did it involve the 'poetry feast', which has been passed down to this day and changed to 'Qushui Liuzhen Feast'?

There are many versions of rumors in this matter, one says that the ancestor of the Zeng family occupied the Shen family academy and rebuilt his own school when the Shen family was down, and the two families have been feuding since then...... Among them, the most widely spread saying is that the Shen family once had a daughter who was unparalleled in appearance, married to the Zeng family as a wife, but was abandoned by the Zeng family, and the Shen family daughter who suffered such a blow was depressed, but wrote a masterpiece that has been recited through the ages, but she was not happy until she died, and the epitaph also taught people to be amazed: 'In the next life, I will still be the daughter of the Shen family, but I don't know the Zeng family.' ’

"This is the beginning of the grievances between the two families of Shen Zeng, and there has never been a marriage between the two families since then," Shen Tingnian stood at the pavilion halfway up the mountain with Pu Yangxu's arm and looked at the mountains in the distance, "I have read all the poems she wrote, and my favorite sentence is 'When the summer rain falls, when will the storm of the rivers and lakes stop.'" ’”

Pu Yangxu has not been idle for a long time to look at the mountains and rivers and watch the clouds, not to mention that there is a beautiful woman by his side, he stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around her shoulder, pointed to the great rivers and mountains, and said to her, "I did a stupid thing when I was a child, I heard others say that it will hurt to fall from a high place, and it is good for ordinary children to fall and help them up, but I am different, if I bump into it, everyone around me will be punished, their lives are tied to me, I have no chance to fall, so when I was seven years old, while everyone was not paying attention, I jumped down from the rockery of the Royal Garden......"

"Guess what?"

Shen Tingnian turned his face sideways, looked at him, and blinked, "It hurts?" ”

Pu Yangxu's smile deepened, his fingers went back and forth from east to west, "I thought that feeling that I had been thinking about for a long time was coming, I laughed nervously and excitedly, and as a result, a group of people came out from all directions to catch me." ”

"I really know the feeling of falling pain, it was King Cong who hit me, I was still on the horse, I was kicked by him, and when I fell to the ground, I was stunned, it hurt too much......"

Shen Tingnian knew that he and King Cong had a fight, which was earth-shattering, so that it was rumored to spread on the streets and alleys, and it was difficult for her to think about it.

"It hurts." She smiled.

When Pu Yangxu heard this, he slowly smiled, and lowered his head to look at her, "I don't know pain at an age when I'm afraid of pain, and when I know what pain is, I'm already past my age, every year, I will be reckless and eager when I don't understand, and I will never be again if I really understand." ”

Shen Tingnian's originally calm expression changed in an instant, as if it was saccharified in water, and the whole person melted with honey, and his smile was sweet.

Even if Fenglai Academy is big enough, it can't accommodate so many people watching the excitement, and the people crowded at the gate of the academy are ordinary people, and there will be people who will spread the news inside, among which the vendors are the majority, and the food and gadgets are sold better than the mountain market, and people with a little status can go in and have a look.

Fenglai Academy is built on the mountain, the steps up the mountain are not steep, it has already been arranged, there are stone tablets on both sides of the rules, the inscriptions are written in the history of Shen Xue, and the famous people who have a relationship with Shen Xue.

The place where the real banquet is held is a canyon in the mountains, the flowing water is murmuring, the strange rocks are craggy, there is a long corridor on both sides, a seat is set up in five steps, all are the guests who participate in this banquet, most of them are students of the academy, at a glance, the corridor on the left pulls a blue banner, it is Shen Xue's seat, and the corridor on the right hangs a red banner, which is the guest seat of the Zeng family.

There are also foreign banquets, which should be invited by both parties, and most of them are famous literati and artists.

And along the corridor winding up, to the halfway up the mountainside there is a large pavilion, in the middle of the upper seat of the ring half circle is the judge, in turn down in addition to the teaching of Shen Zeng's two academies, there are also the figures in the literary world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the periphery is full of those officers and soldiers who maintain the scene, and there are some special guards to protect several important people.

Looking up at the sky and the clouds, looking at the green mountains, the waterfall near is like an arrow, everyone is talking, several people who presided over the Liuyu banquet sat in a circle nearby, sitting on the main seat is Dean Shen of Fenglai Academy, next to his right hand is Shen Yanhe, the teaching lady of the Houshan Women's School of Fenglai Academy, with a middle-class posture, a faint arrogance on his young face, and even his eyebrows are full of sharpness.

Zeng Ting, the eldest son of the Zeng family who sat opposite her, was the first time to participate in such a poetry feast, so he listened to the following movements with a sense of freshness, and waited to see the people in his academy drinking poetry, and he inevitably showed a little smile.

Shen Yanhe also attended such an occasion for the first time, in the past few years, she has been firmly controlled by Dean Shen, and she is not allowed to go out of the back mountain, and she is dedicated to helping Dean Shen revise the Kyoto Prefecture Chronicles.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Zeng Ting, and couldn't help but smile playfully, "The Zeng family's gimmick this year is even better than before." ”

"Isn't there no one in your hospital this year?"

Not long after Zeng Ting took charge of the Zeng Family Academy, his handsome and handsome face was also proud.

The two had no good impression of each other when they first met, especially Shen Yanhe, who felt that as the only woman present, everyone treated her well, but Zeng Ting didn't look at her at all.

"People who are arrogant and grandstanding, our Shen family really doesn't have them."

Zeng Ting came back to his senses and looked at Shen Yanhe angrily, and sneered at her: "Since you think we are grandstanding, then I have to ask for advice in person today, so why not make everyone laugh!" ”

This is to invite the Shen family to fight in the name of the Zeng family, and Dean Shen, who has been calm from beginning to end, finally woke up, he stroked his beard and smiled, "You guys go on their own, young people must be frivolous to live in vain."

The scene was quiet again, there was a faint sound of footsteps approaching, and when I looked sideways, I just saw the servants of the Shen family leading the guests to lead the prince and others up from the secluded road in the back mountain.
