Chapter 48: You Look at Me, I Look at You

Tao Nong lifted her skirt slightly, entered the tall archway-like gate of Liquan Temple, smiled, and waved her hand at Li Ran, signaling that she couldn't smile anymore.

Li Ran followed, turning his head to look around.

This Liquan view is based on a small hill behind it, next to a stream with a rapid flow of water next to the mountain, according to the mountain, relying on the vigorous ancient trees, the buildings are scattered and random, and the ancient trees of the mountains and rivers are integrated, everywhere is full of informality, free and vigorous.

"Is the girl religious?" Tao Nong looked at Li Ran and asked.

Li Ran shook her head, she was very religious, but her piety was not in those stone statues.

"Then let's not enter the main hall, go around from there, go around a far road up the mountain, walk from that road, and see the beautiful scenery of the mountain road.

The place on the mountain is the best place I have picked and picked in the past few years. ”

Momonon said the best piece of the place and winked at Li Ran.

"From there, you can see them from the best view." Tao Nong said, looking at Zhou E again.

Zhou E walked in front with her hands behind her back, but it was as if she had eyes behind her back.

"You don't have to keep staring at me.

I think back then, there was a friend who was seriously injured and dying, saying that he had lived a lifetime and had never seen what a woman Naiko was like, so I took off my clothes to show him on the spot.

Isn't it just that you look at me, I look at you, what's a big deal. ”

Tao Nong was indifferent to Zhou E's words, and said uh, half a beat too late, and Li Ran also laughed.

The three of them walked out of Liquan Temple, along the winding and gentle bluestone mountain road, walked slowly, enjoyed the scenery, talked, and walked up the mountain.

When he went up to the place where Tao Nong picked a good place, Li Ran's eyebrows were high.

It was a slightly protruding cliff, with a diagonal view of Liquan in front and a forest blooming with fresh greenery behind.

A small area, surrounded on three sides by a barricade.

In the barrier, there is a huge dark green thick felt blanket, and two thick red copper charcoal plates are pressed on both sides of the felt carpet, and the charcoal is red.

In the middle of the carpet were three comfortable circle chairs, on which were covered with soft thick cushions, and against the walking barriers, seven or eight low tables were put together, and they were full of snacks to eat.

There is a tea table and a tea stove next to it, two neat mothers-in-law in their forties, one let in three people, and then move the barricade back, and the other is busy boiling water and roasting tea.

Zhou E put her hands behind her back, walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at it, turned around, picked a plate of melon seeds from those dim sum foods, dragged the rightmost chair to the edge of the cliff, sat down, looked at the crowd of people who would write down the mountain, and swallowed melon seeds.

"Girl, please be seated." Tao Nong didn't care about Zhou E, didn't look at Zhou E anymore, and let Li Ran sit down in the middle.

The literary meeting in the Liquan Temple should have started for a while.

As far as the eye can see, at least more than 100 scholars in long robes, in groups of three or five, spread out in all directions in the Liquan Temple, and then spread out from the view, in the sun, or sit around talking, or writing with a pen, but most of them are three or five, ten or eight gathered in a pile, around one or two brightly dressed female singers talking and laughing.

Li Ran was surprised to see it, this is Huiwen?

"This kind of literary meeting, except for too little silver, everything else is good." Tao Nong sat next to Li Ran, nodded at the bottom of the mountain and said with a smile: "Look, it's just talking, and there is no one who dares to tear clothes." Even if you speak, you are very measured, only you laugh at him. ”

"Are they all students who are too learned? What about those? Old schoolboy? Li Ran looked at them in a bunch and asked with a smile.

"How can there be an old student in Taixue? That's the professor, that's the king sacrificial wine, the father of the six ladies of the Wang family. Momino pointed to the middle-aged man who was standing at the long table, picking up a piece of rice paper and looking at it carefully.

Li Ran bowed slightly and carefully looked at the king's sacrificial wine.

He is a little taller than average, not fat or thin, with a beard that is more than two inches long, and has a calm bearing.

Wang Ji's calmness and indifference should have been inherited from him.

Wang Xijiu handed the rice paper to the young man next to him.

Li Ran looked at the young man, it was Huo Wencan.

Tao Nong nodded Huo Wencan and smiled before speaking, "The third son's royal blue shirt today looks good, and with such a bright color, he can hold it down." ”

Li Ran looked next to Huo Wencan, and sure enough, she saw her third brother, Li Qingning, these two were really inseparable.

Li Qingning was talking to a young man who looked very delicate and elegant.

On the other side of the king's sacrificial wine, stood Liu Nianzong, the eldest son of the Duke of Lu.

"The sons of this generation in the capital, if you want to say that they are good-looking, they are the eldest prince of Liu and the third prince of Huo, but there are also good ones in other families, you look over there, on the edge of the stone, the jade-colored robe, the grandson of the Hanlin family, the literary style is excellent."

Tao Nong lowered his voice a little, "Judging from my little knowledge, his literary talent is stronger than that of Young Master Liu, but this literary talent also depends on my father." ”

Li Ran laughed out loud, this is really a big truth.

"And the one over there, in the small yamen of the Yin family in our capital mansion, how delicate he is, but he is a little smaller, if it is a girl, it will be perfect.

The one over there, I like this the most, how clean and refreshing, looking at him, you can smell the soap. ”

Li Ran laughed again, what does soaphorn smell like? One day she'll have to find a piece to sniff.

"It's all chicks." Zhou E suddenly commented.

"These are all literati, but not all chickens. Ignore her, let's move on. Momonon smiled and patted the arm of the chair, laughed for a while, and then introduced Li Ran to the teenager she felt was at least worth seeing.

“…… Which do you think is better? ”

Tao Nong looked around, introduced a circle, satisfied and unsatisfied, looked at Li Ran and asked with a smile.

"Liu Gongzi is the best-looking." Li Ran told the truth.

"The second is the third son of the Huo family, right? Among the two, I think the third son is better-looking, that vitality is the most rare, looking at him, I feel that the sun is out.

Do you know that the little lady in the capital wants to marry the most is this third son. ”

"That's because Liu Gongzi is already married, right?"

Li Ran thought about the vinegar smell when Huo Wencan talked about Liu Dagongzi, and laughed.

"Before Liu Gongzi got married, those who wanted to marry Liu Gongzi and those who wanted to marry Huo Sangongzi were also half a catty and eight taels, maybe Huo Sangongzi had more here. Let me tell you, in terms of delicate eyebrows and eyes, it is better to be Huo Sangongzi. ”

"If you talk about good-looking," Li Ran suddenly remembered Xie Ze, "In the capital, isn't General Xie the best-looking?" ”

Zhou E's hand that was about to send melon seeds to his mouth paused slightly, glared at Li Ran, and then snorted again.

"I've seen General Xie a few times, it's not close, but I can see it clearly. It's really good-looking, not human-looking. It's just so good-looking, it's not human. Besides, the cliff bank is too high, and I heard that he can't laugh. ”

Tao Nong leaned forward and looked at Zhou E, "General Zhou, have you ever seen General Xie smile?" ”

"When you ask this, he just laughs, and he won't smile at me." Zhou E was obviously not very happy.

Tao Nong stepped up and retreated, looked at Li Ran, and pouted at Zhou E's side, "Where, see it, that's a master who can't say anything, like this, who dares?" Right?

Let's talk about Huo Sangongzi, look at it, how good-looking, and his looks are flying. ”

Li Ran smiled and nodded, and then listened to Tao Nong's unscrupulous gossip about the children of various families in the capital.

Near noon, the three of them got up and went down the mountain to eat vegetarian food at Liquanju, which was not far from Liquan Temple.

……………………

Near noon, Huo Wencan pulled Li Qingning, sneaked out, and went to the back mountain to enjoy the scenery, dissipating the shock of being questioned all morning.

As soon as he bypassed a huge ancient tree, Huo Wencan looked up and saw Li Ran and his party.

Li Ran and Tao Nong laughed and walked side by side in front, and Zhou E walked behind with her hands behind her back, looking left and right, with a relaxed attitude.

When Huo Wencan saw Li Ran at a glance, Li Ran raised his hand with a smile and paused.

Huo Wencan glared at Li Ran and looked straight.

On the mountain road dotted with fresh greenery in the midst of decay, Li Ran, dressed in pink, was like the pot of peonies that the little guy carried into his house this morning, like the few peony flowers that had just begun to bloom.

It's like a famous lady...... No, it is a famous freehand landscape, the lady picture is too ingenious, too artificial, the beauty in front of you, flowing and changing, and the charm is thousands.

The wind under the forest that he used to look up to also fell before the picture in front of him.

"What do you see? What's so stupid? ”

Li Qingning turned his head to look at Wenhui's pile of empty posts a few times, turned his head, and saw Huo Wencan as if he was stupid, and hurriedly slapped him.

"It's okay, it's nothing! Nothing! Huo Wencan was slapped by Li Qingning and panicked.

"Hey, that's the fourth sister?" When Li Qingning slapped him, he also saw Li Ran and Tao Nong.

"Huh? Oh, yes, it's really your fourth sister. Huo Wencan just found out, pointed his finger, and laughed twice.

"What's wrong with you? Bumped into evil spirits? This is Liquan Temple, the mana is powerful, and there is still an evil spirit that dares to hit you? ”

Li Qingning turned around and looked at Huo Wencan, looking him up and down.

"What nonsense?" Huo Wencan had already eased his shock, and glanced at Li Qingning.

"It's Momono who walks with the fourth sister, right? The fourth sister ...... with her" Li Qingning coughed, and the rest of the words did not continue.

Momonong is almost forty years old, and he is quite in agreement with the fourth sister, how old is the fourth sister?

"San Lang, your fourth sister is so good-looking." Huo Wencan looked at Li Ran, who was walking and talking and laughing, and couldn't help it, and said to Li Qingning.

"Huh?" Li Qingning was stunned, saw Li Ran from Taonong, and after a moment, he nodded, "The fourth sister is good-looking, and when she walks with Taonong, she doesn't fall behind, no wonder...... Cough! ”

Li Qingning coughed violently and coughed back the words behind him vigorously.

"No wonder your dad is obsessed with that, right?" Huo Wencan laughed as he spoke.

"Look at you...... Shall we go and say hello? Li Qingning pointed at Li Ran and the others, and waved his hand before he finished speaking: "Forget it, let's not disturb her, let's talk about it, let's go, where did you just go?" ”

"Your fourth sister is better looking than Momono, much better-looking. San Lang, your fourth sister is so good-looking. Huo Wencan said with a sigh.

"Look at you like this, how do you look like a disciple? That's my sister, put your face away, what do you look like! Li Qingning pushed Huo Wencan out.

"I said she was good-looking, how did she become an apprentice? I've seen all of them, but your four sisters are the best-looking, better looking than Liu Dalang's daughter-in-law. Huo Wencan was pushed by Li Qingning and turned around, and then looked at Li Ran.

"Listen to you......" Li Qingning leaned forward to Huo Wencan's face, "You didn't have any dirty thoughts, did you?" ”

"Listen to you! I'll just say that your fourth sister is good-looking, what's dirty or what, you mean yourself, right? Huo Wencan glared at Li Qingning hard.

Li Qingning looked him up and down, and said with a straight face: "I'll tell you, don't have any thoughts, my sister, don't need me to say, you know better than me, she is not ...... That, you know, isn't the one you can think of.

Also, if you have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, it is to trap her, and it is not easy for my fourth sister.

In my family, my mother-in-law, my mother, my sister, you know your plan, if you know that you don't look down on the third sister, what will happen to the fourth sister, you have to ...... That's that, that's it, you know!

They can't do anything to you, what about the fourth sister?

I can tell you, don't cheat her. ”

"What are you talking about?" Huo Wencan was almost annoyed, and stretched out his head to look at Li Qingning angrily.

"Seriously!" Li Qingning also stretched out his head and glared at Huo Wencan, "I know that you are bent on marrying a stunning, let me tell you, my fourth sister can't do it, don't cheat her, it's not easy for her!" ”

"Nonsense!" Huo Wencan snorted violently, turned around and left, "I have nothing to say to a stupid person like you, hum!" ”

"It's good that you didn't have a heart, and I didn't say anything else." Li Qingning hurriedly kept up with Huo Wencan, who was humming angrily.

The two didn't dare to wander outside much, turned around for half a circle, asked where the king's sacrificial wine was, and hurried over.

In the evening, after the meeting, the two returned to the palace, went to Jinghua Hall to see the prince, and finished their usual business, and waited for a while, the prince was busy before he had time to talk to the two.

The prince asked the Wenhui carefully, and read the poems and articles of the two, and he was quite satisfied.

The four companions around the prince, if it is about learning, Wang Hang and Cao Ming are both superior, especially Wang Hang, who could have been able to speak on behalf of his father Wang Saijiu, and after getting married, he was even more obsessed with learning.

As for Huo Wencan and Li Qingning, one has no intention of learning, extremely useless, and the other has limited qualifications, the knowledge of the two, the king sacrificial wine review is in the middle and upper sentences, and the upper word in the back is the face of the prince, the real level, and the two of them are at most middle and lower.

Therefore, whenever there is a literary club and the like, the prince always asks the two of them to go over, study hard, and be more contaminated.

Seeing that the prince was quite satisfied with the poems they had come up with and the articles they had tried their best to hold back, both of them were secretly relieved.

If the prince is not satisfied, they will have to write again, and this writing may have to hold back all night without sleeping.

"Around noon, when Li San and I sneaked out to take a breath, we saw his fourth sister with Momono, coming down from the mountain." Huo Wencan looked at the prince and smiled.

"Well, Momono took her to see your Huiwen." The prince replied casually.

"What's so good about Huiwen? Could it be that Momonon is still obsessed with learning? Li Qingning was quite puzzled.

The prince looked at Li Qingning speechlessly.

Huo Wencan laughed and fell, and patted Li Qingning hard, "Say you're stupid, hey, Huiwen is nothing good-looking, it's a good-looking person who knows how to write!" ”

After Huo Wencan finished speaking, his heart jumped, those who read the text, today's meeting ...... No, no, no, not only today, but also in the capital, the best look, except for Liu Da, is himself.

Liu Da is already married, and she is a dead fish, this is her words, then there is only herself.

Did she go to see him?

"Hey, your mother-in-law picked your fourth sister's mother-in-law's house, pick ...... Still picking? ”

Li Qingning was stunned by Huo Wencan's extremely far jump, and asked angrily, "When did Chen Guzi rot sesame?" Can you get down to business? ”

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business, your family is busy picking a daughter-in-law for you and a mother-in-law for your third sister, what about your fourth sister?" Huo Wencan continued.

"Fourth sister......" Li Qingning looked at the prince, "Her family affairs can't be picked by my mother-in-law and my aunt, right?" ”

"Well, her family affairs, she is in charge." The prince looked at Huo Wencan and said slowly.
