On the day of the Lotus Festival, the Long'an Temple, thirty miles outside the city, was very lively. There are at least a dozen royal relatives and nobles, and since they have come out to play, they will have a good day. There were a lot of people who stayed here that night, and the monks of Long'an Temple were busy for fear that something would go wrong.

The holy car arrived in the morning, and left after a vegetarian meal at noon, and only stayed for an hour. After the holy car left, everyone was much more relaxed. People who come to play, that's when the fun really begins.

Chu Huaixian followed a group of officials and nobles to see them off outside the mountain gate, and when he came back, he walked with Kyoto Prefecture Yin. Lord Yin Chen was cautious on his face: "The seedlings used for the Long'an Temple this time were not all bought from the Gong family. There were nineteen families who came to fight for this mission, and the Kong family, who received the palace offerings, also came to me and said, I have returned his home. They lie down for a year, and as long as they flatter the father-in-law of the inner court, they can't eat and drink, so why bother to fight for this. ”

"This Gong family knows a family member of mine. I thought of it by accident, so I'll tell you a word. You don't have to give it all to him, it's too proud to give him. Their family has been defeated for several years, and this is just the beginning of it, how can it be so easy. Chu Huaixian and Lin Xiaochu were vindictive, and they wanted to be "bad" again.

He said this, of course, Chen Fuyin made it clear, and he laughed and said: "This silver comes according to the routine, and it is not all paid at once." Doing this seedling business has always been something that the family can't do without money. ”

Chu Huaixian laughed: "You know." When he raised his eyes, he saw Master Du, who was smiling and standing not far away. Chu Huaixian nodded to Chen Fuyin: "Let's talk when we're free." Chen Fuyin bowed and bowed, and said respectfully to Chu Huaixian, who did not have any official position: "Son, please." ”

Master Du watched Chu Huaixian come over with a smile on his face, he grew up watching Chu Huaixian since he was a child. Kung fu is also available, and so is the article. Mrs. sometimes said that when he was old enough to go out to play, Master Du would not take it to heart. Huaixian was born tall and handsome, and it is inevitable that someone outside will fall in love with him. Master Du asked Chu Huaixian to come over, intending to talk to him about the Gong family.

Of course, it can't be said that Prime Minister Zhang is uneasy, Master Du just said with a concerned face: "The emperor asked, you replied well." "Chu Huaixian has always been polite to this father. Listening to his praise, he owed his body and said, "Uncle Lao is concerned." Lord Du smiled and walked to the play place side by side with Chu Huaixian. While walking, he asked him about his homework, and asked him if he could get off the field this year, and what he should pay attention to if he wanted to go down the field. Chu Huaixian went back one by one, and was taught one by one. He is not in a hurry, if Lord Du is just gossiping, then there is a time to finish; If it's serious, then he'll say it.

After gossiping, Lord Du pretended to be inadvertent: "Listen to it in a trance, say what Gong family do you know, is it Lord Gong who entered Beijing last year?" Chu Huaixian glanced at him quietly, and replied calmly: "Uncle thinks I heard it wrong, it's my family." The family wanted to prepare things for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they recommended the Gong family's seedling shop. Lord Du said "oh oh" repeatedly, raised his hand and patted his forehead, smiled but didn't say that he heard it wrong, just said: "It's good if you don't have it." Then he said: "But the Gong family you said should have committed crimes before." ”

At this time, the two of them walked to the edge of a pool of clear water, Chu Huaixian looked at the thousands of lotus leaves, and pretended to be thinking: "It's the one who made a mistake a few years ago, right?" It's something my family does, and I haven't asked about it yet. Why, their house doesn't work? Master Du smiled, and felt that he could just point to three points: "The officials who committed the crime can also be reinstated, and the people who committed the crime can also be used." But your father is not at home, and I, who is an uncle, have a little more to do, so I will ask you more. ”

Chu Huaixian thanked again with a smile: "Thank you uncle for thinking that my father had a letter from my son a while ago, and I heard that all the uncles have taught, and I am also very grateful." Master Du patted his hand affectionately, and then tapped a sentence and said, "One more word, such a person, don't come too closely." Whatever he asks for, he has to think carefully about it. ”

The lotus fragrance by the water sent a coquettish call: "Father is here," Du Yingzhu came over with two little girls. He saluted his father, and then saluted Chu Huaixian, and said shyly: "The elder brother of the Chu family is also here." Chu Huaixian bowed and returned the salute: "Sister Du." Lord Du watched them salute each other, and suddenly he was relieved, and he laughed a few times and said: "You were polite when you were young, and it is even more polite when you are older." ”

Du Yingzhu twisted her body to her father, and then said, "Mother asks my father to come over," and then raised her eyes to look at Chu Huaixian, and said even more coquettishly: "Please Brother Chu also go with you." ”

Chu Huaixian hadn't spoken yet, and Master Du also invited: "Come on, your Aunt Du is also common." Chu Huaixian followed the past and stayed in the seat set up by the Du family for a while before coming out.

met Zhuang Gongzi head-on, Zhuang Gongzi in a brocade shirt, not tall, thin, eyes and lips not small, as Chu Huaixian said, he was born in general. But the two are also world friends, and they get along well. Zhuang Gongzi grabbed Chu Huaixian's sleeve: "Let's go, go to my house and sit for a while." "Get Chu Huaixian, Zhuang Gongzi ran away by himself, he was in a hurry to visit the girl's house.

This afternoon, Chu Huaixian didn't have any free time, and only met Huang Xiaohou and a few people at dinner. Zhao Cunzong was also here, and he was not close to Chu Huaixian outside, so he first laughed at him: "What kind of incense did you smoke, today it has become a fragrant dumpling." Chu Huaixian retorted: "The princess is not in Beijing, and the little prince is also fragrant." Huang Xiaohou stretched out his hands and parted: "Stop!" I have made an appointment with you today. Since it's here, it's to save face. Which one wants to quarrel again, there is no status today, all of us, beat him together. A few princes next to him said okay. Chu Huaixian seemed to be unwilling; Zhao Cunzong smiled slightly, as if he was proud of his identity as a little prince, and he was not as knowledgeable as Chu Huaixian.

After a few glasses of wine, the two men faced each other again. Huang Xiaohou and the others looked at them funny and angry, and everyone listened to them with their eyes and ears.

"You came today, but you didn't bring a girl?" This is Xiao Zhao Wangye. Chu Huaixian was not angry: "Who do you want to see!" Huang Xiaohou interjected at the right time: "Bring it out and see it!" Chu Huaixian didn't look at him angrily, and the people next to him coaxed: "Fight!" Beat! Someone who talks so much. Don't talk too much, let them keep talking, and we'll understand. Huang Xiaohou held his head and smiled: "I'll punish myself." ”

Zhao Cunzong and Chu Huaixian were disturbed by this, so they settled down and no longer argued. Everyone rewarded the moon with lotus, smelled the fragrance and wine, and made a lot of noise until late at night. And every house sent men to look for them, lest they would drink too much. Huang Xiaohou was drunk, holding a white ground and red colored begonia cup in his hand, and still didn't let anyone go back: "I am drunk and waiting for companions, lotus leaves are used as beds, lotus flowers are used as pillows, and no one is allowed to go." ”

There was a bright lantern on the shore, and a small servant walked in front, and behind the lantern was a curling figure. That figure is only more beautiful than the smoke willows by the water, and the walking is better than the lotus pavilion in the water. Zhao Cunzong's eyes lit up and he looked straight over. Chu Huaixian was seven points drunk and was fighting a drinking lawsuit with someone: "You should drink this wine, you are wrong." ”

was making a fuss, and Xiao Chu behind him called: "Childe, old lady, please go back and rest." Chu Huaixian turned around and saw Jin Xi'er holding a lantern and standing two steps behind him with Xiao Chu. Before Chu Huaixian could speak, Zhao Cunzong stood up with a smile, and gave a light salute to his whole clothes: "Miss Xiaochu." "Because of the drunkenness on his face, and the fact that he is the respect of the little prince, he owes this body to a girl, which always makes people feel drunk and light. The little prince sees the girl? What a salute it is!

Xiao Chu was a little frightened, hurriedly avoided it, and returned a salute: "Xiao Zhao Wangye." Chu Huaixian's eyes widened, and he scolded Xiao Chu: "Who asked you to come!" Then he glared at Zhao Cunzong and sneered: "A girl, the little prince doesn't have to be polite!" Zhao Cunzong smiled at him: "This has nothing to do with you." He smiled at Xiao Chu again: "There is a seat here, why not sit down?" Huang Xiaohou Ye looked interesting, and he was also drunk, so he quickly stood up and gave up his seat, and then salivated and laughed to see clearly: "Which girl?" ”

Xiao Chu was so frightened that he took a few steps back and looked at Chu Huaixian in disbelief. Chu Huaixian was furious: "Don't come back when you go back!" Ming'er, I'll go back to my grandmother by myself, how can I let you out! Don't you see that there are many people here, is it the place where you run around! Xiao Chu lowered his head to hear him say, and turned around and walked away eagerly.

didn't take two steps away, and behind him was Zhao Cunzong's unhappy voice: "What do you mean!" Chu Huaixian was even more displeased: "A girl, it's not worth asking the little prince!" Zhao Cunzong sneered: "I haven't seen you for a few years, your temper is good, am I afraid that you won't succeed!" Xiao Chu could only turn around, snuggle under the smoke willows, and look at the two people behind him worriedly. They were facing each other, in a stormy posture.

"Jin Xi'er, carry the lantern for me, you go and invite the son to come back." Xiao Chu is helpless, speaking of it tomorrow, it will be for me again. What virtue do I have, what can I do, I can only be these sons, who have nothing to do when they are full! Jin Xi'er saw that he gave the lantern to Xiao Chu, and asked Chu Huaixian: "The old lady is waiting for the son, the son please go back." ”

There was a "snap" on his face, and he had already slapped Chu Huaixian. Zhao Cunzong just looked at him with a sneer, and he looked like he was full of life. Chu Huaixian turned around and saw that Xiao Chu was still there, and scolded Jin Xi'er even more angrily: "Send her back, and if you come out and walk around again, break your legs!" ”

When Xiao Chu arrived at this time, he could only blame himself for his bad luck. She didn't wait for Xi'er, and walked back angrily. Zhao Cunzong's voice came from behind him: "Who are you going to fight?" Xiao Chu trotted up until he could no longer hear the voice behind him.

The old lady let her out to find her son, but if the son didn't go back, Xiaochu couldn't make a difference. She stopped not far from the bottom of the house, waiting for Jin Xi'er to come back and talk back together. Not long after, I saw Jin Xi'er helping Chu Huaixian over. Chu Huaixian's face was flushed, he was full of alcohol, and he was already drunk.
