As night falls, a bright moon rises in the sky, sprinkling its light on the bustling capital.

Jiankang City did not quiet down, and the aura of extravagance slowly rose and filled the air. The pedestrians on the street are like a tide, the Qinhuai River painting workshop is like weaving, the fishing fire on the Yangtze River is lit, and the tea shop is full of laughter.

Only the private room of the Lion Tower was silent.

Those ministers of the Chen Dynasty all looked at Han Zigao, waiting for him to reply. Gu Huan and Gao Changgong glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything. The identities of the two of them here are just cloth cloth and grass people, and they are not qualified to speak about this kind of thing at all, so it is already a big face for them to listen to it next to them, but some people are already thinking about it in their hearts, and they are ready to kill people afterwards.

Han Zigao was silent for a long time, as if he was carefully weighing. Those important ministers of the court did not dare to urge him, and after waiting for a while, they deliberately started chatting.

Liu Shizhi looked at Gu Huan and asked with a smile, "Where is Gu Sangongzi from?" ”

Gu Huan blinked, a little hesitant, for fear that if he talked nonsense about a place but accidentally met a fellow countryman, it would be a leak.

Gao Changgong immediately said: "We are from Lanling. ”

Gu Huan was shocked, but he was very calm on the surface, and then nodded, with a sincere face.

Gao Changgong smiled secretly in his heart. This is the first time the two of them have come out to play, and it is also the first time they have teamed up to deceive people, they have been playing for a few months, and they have made up many nonsense, and now they have long cooperated tacitly.

"Oh." Although Liu Shizhi still had a smile on his face, there was a hint of strangeness in his voice. "I'm a fellow villager with General Xiao."

The Lanling he was talking about was not Gao Changgong's fief, but the Lanling County near Changzhou, which was often called Southern Lanling to distinguish it from the Lanling County of Qi.

"General Xiao?" Gu Huan was dazed and glanced at Han Zigao.

Gao Changgong understood in his heart, but he was silent, and he pretended to know nothing.

Seeing that they didn't seem to be fake, the expressions of the ministers relaxed. Hua Jiao explained with a smile: "It's General Xiao Maha, a famous fierce general in this dynasty. ”

"Oh." Gu Huan suddenly realized.

Xiao Maha is the first fierce general of Chen State, brave and good at fighting, but now he is Chen Zuo's cronies.

If you really want to talk about it, he and Gao Changgong can actually be regarded as fellow villagers. Lanling Xiao is a famous family, although it is not as good as Xingyang Zheng's, Taiyuan Wang's, Fanyang Lu's, Qinghe Cui's four highest surnames, but it is comparable to Zhaojun Li's, Longxi Li's, Boling Cui's, and Bohai Gao's family, and its identity is very valuable. In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the northern scholars moved south to avoid war, and the Xiao clan of Lanling, Shandong Province also crossed the river south and migrated to Lanling County near Changzhou. Nowadays, the surnames of Wang, Xie, Yuan, and Xiao are listed as the four high gates of the Southern Dynasty, and the clansmen are full of government and opposition, and the power is strong, many of which are Chen Zuo's party, which is deeply jealous of the royalists.

Since they are from Lanling, they don't know Xiao Maha, the most famous in their fellow villagers, and it is easy to arouse suspicion. Gao Changgong immediately said: "My brother is a person from the mountains and wilderness, he only likes to indulge in mountains and rivers, reciting poems, and has never cared about the affairs of the court, and the Lanling Xiao family is a wealthy family, and he does not dare to climb high in the inferior, so he is not very clear." ”

Gu Huan heard him say that he liked to write poems, and he laughed in his stomach, but on the surface, he was serious, and nodded again and again.

Han Zigao listened to their conversation while thinking about it, and he didn't feel anything, but suddenly saw a smile in Gu Huan's eyes that he was desperately enduring but still leaking, and suddenly understood, and his face couldn't help but have a trace of pleasure.

When Liu Shizhi heard this, he was immediately very happy: "It turns out that Gu Ergongzi also likes poetry and songs, which is really a great joy. ”

Gao Changgong was stunned, he secretly complained in his heart, he was in a hurry, and said modestly: "You are really ashamed to be a big man, it's better to hide your clumsy ...... than to be ugly" While saying, he glanced at Gu Huan quickly.

Those ministers praised one after another, and their words were high-sounding, but they all showed curiosity, and they were determined to recite a poem before they would stop.

Seeing Gao Changgong's eyes asking for help, Gu Huan was a little helpless. How can you cheat in plain sight? Her mind was racing, and she suddenly remembered, so she reminded: "Second brother, the last time we were admiring the moon by the river, didn't you make a book for the night?" You might as well take it out and ask Lord Liu for a lesson or two. ”

That poem was actually Gu Huan's affection for the scene, and she chanted it casually, of course, she didn't have that kind of talent, the original author was actually Lord Du Fu, but anyway, his old man was born almost one hundred and fifty years later, and it doesn't matter if he borrows it now, it's just to express his feelings at the time, so Gu Huan used it without scruples.

Gao Changgong is not good at dancing and writing, but his memory is very good, he remembers all the poems that Gu Huan has sang, anyway, what is his is Gu Huan's, and Gu Huan's is also his, at this moment, he is at a critical juncture, so he can't care about so much, and immediately chanted:

"The fine grass and the breeze on the shore, the dangerous canoe at night.

The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the rivers flow.

Famous articles, officials should be old and sick.

What is fluttering, the sky and the earth are a sand gull. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd began to cheer. Liu Shizhi was very excited, and went to get the four treasures of the study in person, and asked Gao Changgong to write down the poems.

Gu Huan immediately followed, took the ink slip from Liu Shizhi's hand, and said very politely: "Lord Liu, how dare you work for your boss?" Let's let it come down. ”

Liu Shizhi made the gesture of Corporal Lixian, most of which was also for Han Zigao, since the goal was achieved, it was inconvenient to be too hypocritical, so he nodded with a smile, took two steps out of the way, and stood aside.

Seeing him like this, the other officials were inconvenient to sit anymore, and they all stepped forward in a funny way, some smiling, some standing with their hands in their hands, and they all looked at the handsome young man in front of the bookcase.

Gu Huan sharpened the ink, picked up the wolf's hair, walked the dragon and snake with a pen, and with a wave, his demeanor was quite chic, and he had the demeanor of a famous person. She took a step back, looked at the handwriting on the rice paper, calmly put down the pen, looked up and smiled: "It's ugly." ”

"Okay." Liu Shizhi praised first. "The nature is natural, the gods are rich, and there is a great style of books."

"Exactly." To Zhongju followed and boasted. "Floating like a cloud, like a dragon, it is indeed extraordinary."

"Peaceful and natural, euphemistic and subtle, beautiful and healthy." Wang Xian said appreciatively. "It is very rare to have the legacy of the Han and Wei dynasties, and also to have the state of flying birds."

"It's even more poetic." Yin Buyu glanced at Gao Changgong. "The two Gu Gongzi are really talented, they are really rare talents."

Listening to their gushing and soliciting meaning, Gu Huan hurriedly hugged his fist and said humbly: "The brothers are lazy by nature, they are good at reading and do not seek to understand, and they like mountains and rivers far and wide, and their greatest wish is to follow Tao Yuanming, pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, and see Nanshan leisurely, I don't know the Qin and Han dynasties, regardless of the Wei and Jin dynasties, wouldn't it be happy?" If there are more than ten acres of square houses, eight or nine thatched houses, elm and willow shade behind the eaves, and peach and plum in front of the hall, then you will get it. Later, she began to talk about it by her temperament.

Gao Changgong laughed secretly when he heard this, but nodded very seriously on the surface: "The two of us have no ambitions, we just want to live a leisurely life, and this is also the intention in the next clumsy work, and I hope that you adults Haihan." ”

"Second Prince Gu is serious." Liu Shizhi nodded appreciatively. "The two Gu Gongzi are indifferent to fame and fortune, comparable to the seven sages of the bamboo forest in the previous dynasty, which is admirable."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Gao Changgong hurriedly thanked him.

"Now that the world is declining, people's desires are rampant, but the two Gu Gongzi are a pure heart, which is really rare." Hua Jiao was quite emotional. "Zigao can have these two brothers, how fortunate is it?"

"Exactly." Han Zigao, who was standing at the end, nodded with a smile, his eyes full of joy.

"It's the two of me who are the big brothers." Gu Huan said polite words, and looked at Han Zigao with kindness in his eyes.

"Brother, why do you say that?" Han Zigao was a little displeased. "You and I are like-minded, and it doesn't matter what our identity is."

"That's right." Gao Changgong is heroic by nature, he doesn't like to chew words, pretends, and entertains those ministers of Chen Guo until now, he is already impatient, so he said. "Please take a seat, continue to talk, and don't let my two brothers disturb Yaxing."

The ministers smiled and said a few words of humility, then returned to the table and sat down, and turned their eyes to Han Zigao again.

The room was silent again, and Wu Nong's soft-spoken cappella singing in the night breeze came in clearly.
