In the afternoon, the lazy sun shines on the earth, the trees are verdant, the flowers are colorful, the butterflies are dancing from time to time, and the birds are singing crisply in the branches.

Gu Huan was dressed in men's clothes, holding a folding fan in the back, and walked across the garden path and walked towards the gate.

It had been a month since she arrived in Cheng County, and she quickly became familiar with official duties and became Gao Su's right-hand man.

After the Battle of Luoyang, the State of Zhou and the State of Qi entered the stage of stalemate, and the war could not be afforded, so there were not too many things to deal with here in Gaosu. He already had a few staff members to help with daily affairs, and Gu Huan didn't share much work. However, Gu Huan soon discovered that Gao Su had no personal relationship with these staff, and never said anything other than official business, but was more relaxed when he was with her, chatting all over the world.

Soon, everyone knew that the new Dingyuan general was very appreciated by the King of Lanling, so they all looked at her differently, or greeted her with a smile, or stammered. Gu Huan is like a fish in water here, and his face is radiant every day, so that Gao Su can't help but laugh when he sees it.

Although Gu Huan is young, he is clearly organized and quick in thinking when dealing with official affairs, but he is usually quite childish, Gao Su has already seen her bravery on the battlefield, and he is naturally very happy with her, and he is willing to take her with him wherever he goes.

After dealing with official and military affairs in the morning, Gao Su said to Gu Huan: "Today is the third day of March, and many literati will have a repair meeting by the water, so let's go and see it." ”

"Okay." Gu Huan's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile.

"What a kid." Gao Su's eyes were overflowing with pity, and he naturally raised his hand and stroked her head.

Gu Huan raised his face and laughed happily.

After lunch, she went back to the house to rest for a while, then changed into civilian clothes for going out, dressed as a scribe, and walked out gracefully.

Gao Su was already waiting under the corridor, and when he saw her shaking her head and coming over, looking like a child pretending to be an adult, he couldn't help but laugh again.

His personal family Gao Fu has served him since he was a child, knowing that he has always been cold, because of his surprisingly beautiful appearance, he is always regarded as a girl, and he has been repeatedly despised in the battle array, in the court, and even in the family, which makes him like to keep a straight face since he was a child, and never smile. Ever since General Xiao Gu came, Gao Su had been unusual, smiling and looking very happy. This made the loyal Gao Fu also like this cute young general very much.

When Gu Huan saw Gao Su's smiling face, he immediately burst into joy, brushed the ground and opened the folding fan, shook it twice, and made a merry boy, then closed the fan again, waved at Gao Su, and said in a tone of voice: "Senior brother, junior brother is polite." ”

Gao Su was amused by her and laughed, and also returned the salute with a fist: "Virtuous brother, foolish brother is polite." ”

The two walked out of the gate, mounted their horses, and walked to Bianshui outside the city.

Cultivation is an ancient custom. Since the Yin Zhou Dynasty, the legacy of witchcraft has still been passed on, and Yu is one of them. In spring, all things grow, easy to produce diseases, wash on water, can prevent and cure diseases, and eliminate disasters and pray for blessings.

On March 3 of the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi and Xie An, Sun Sui and other celebrities made a repair meeting in the Lanting Pavilion in Shanyin, improvised many poems, and recommended Wang Xizhi to write a preface. Wang Xizhi then took advantage of the Xingxing to make "Lanting Collection Preface", the literary brilliance, the exquisite Yadi, the calligraphy is vigorous and elegant, and was pushed by later generations as "the first line of books in the world", which is the most famous repair meeting in history.

At this time, it is not far from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there are many similar romantic and anecdotal things, every spring, there are always literati and scholars who meet at the water's edge to make a repair meeting, chant poems as endowments, and put the wine in the wind, which is also very happy.

Gu Huan has lived on the side for a long time, often full of smoke, he has never seen this kind of thing, and he can't help but be very curious, I don't know what kind of celebrities he will meet, whether there are those people he has seen in books.

Walking on the street, Gao Su still attracted the attention of everyone as always, both men and women, respected him for his courage and fearlessness, and loved him for his soft appearance. Gu Huan walked next to him, like a little star next to Mingyue, basically ignored completely. Gu Huan was very happy, she had never liked to attract attention.

Gao Su was used to being looked down upon, and he had long been accustomed to it, and he turned a blind eye, so he only chatted with Gu Huan softly about some common words, from the magnolia tree blooming to the original little white cat seemed to grow up and began to call spring. Gu Huan listened intently, occasionally picking up two sentences, but it was sharp and witty, which made Gao Su laugh involuntarily.

Soon they rode to the water's edge. Many people on both sides of the strait have already washed here, and most of them have come with their families, and there is laughter and laughter everywhere, and there is a joyful scene.

Gao Su looked at it and said comfortably: "The people can live and work in peace and contentment, which is the greatest comfort after our bloody battle. ”

"yes." Gu Huan nodded. "We have lived in the city for a long time, and we have seen a lot of people's displacement, and our greatest wish is to let them live a peaceful life."

Gao Su naturally knew that they were fighting bloody battles every year to resist the Turkic iron cavalry, so that they could keep the territory of Qi and the lives of the people. He looked at Gu Huan's childish face, smiled and said, "You have worked hard." ”

"It's not hard." Gu Huan gently flicked the horsewhip freely, and said with emotion. "If there was a day when the world was unified, there would not be so many wars."

Gao Su was silent.

At this time, the military strength of the Zhou State increased greatly, the Turks were stronger, and the king of the Qi State did not want to forge ahead, and even a law was not formulated, and it was all based on personal likes and dislikes to convict, and the appointment of local officials was not a Wei Cai move, but a large number of high-ranking officials and dignitaries placed their relatives, friends and even slaves, so the officialdom was chaotic, the people were complaining, and the national strength was declining sharply.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Gu Huan thought for a while, then understood, quickly changed the topic, and asked him with a smile: "We have walked a long distance along the riverbank, how long will it take to arrive?" ”

"Oh." Gao Su let out a long breath and raised his hand to point forward. "There's a Wangjiang Pavilion over there, and they usually meet over there."

Gu Huan said impatiently, "Let's run a few steps." ”

"Okay." Gao Su raised his horsewhip and waved it in the air, but it didn't hit the horse.

His horse understood his intentions, and at once he rushed out with his hooves raised.

Gu Huan shouted: "Wow, you are cheating." Then he also took the reins of his horse and chased after him.

Gao Su listened to her childish accusation, and couldn't help laughing, so he deliberately teased her, constantly urging the horse forward, running faster and faster.

Gu Huan galloped wildly, bent on catching up with him. However, this section of the road was actually not long, less than two miles, Gao Su slowed down, and then stopped his horse. Gu Huan caught up from behind and stopped beside him, after all, he was a few steps behind him.

Gao Su dismounted and led her up a small dirt slope in front of her.

The whole slope was covered with green grass, and a pavilion was built near the river, and at this time there were four treasures of the study on the stone table inside, and a few written words were placed on the stone benches around it, but there was no one.

Gao Su and Gu Huan walked around and walked straight to the water's edge.

There were more than a dozen people here, most of them in wide robes, sitting or lying, some with wine and some tea at hand, looking very idle.

Seeing Gao Su appear, some people were indifferent, but a few people were dazzled and came forward with a smile.

Gao Su happily bowed his hand to them: "Xiao Wang knows very little about Shiwen, today the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it is a good day to go out and cultivate, let's also join in the fun." ”

"It's a great honor for the prince to come." The first thin, slender man in his thirties smiled and hugged his fist. "We said okay, today we must each give a long poem, quatrains are not limited, the prince is here, and he should leave Mobao."

"It's embarrassing for me." Gao Su's face was embarrassed. "With you talented Zhuyu in front, Xiao Wang will not be ugly."

Another gentle and elegant young man smiled gently: "We are throwing bricks and attracting jade, just waiting for the prince's splendid article." ”

Gao Su shook his head, but said, "Let me see your bricks first, I'm afraid it's much stronger than my jade." ”

"How dare you?" He walked into the pavilion in a dashing manner, took out a piece of writing, and handed it to Gao Su.

Gu Huan hurriedly came up to take a look.

The words are mellow and charming, revealing the peace and tranquility of the center, but the poems are full of flowers and beautiful.

Gao Su recited softly, with a melodious tone and melodious sound.

"The beauty is all her life, and she can't sleep.

The silver dragon is a candle ember, and the golden phoenix is smoking.

Blow the pipe first to make a song, and tune the zither more strings.

After the song is also fanned, before dancing out of the prostitute.

The peerless generation is difficult to reach in the end, who counts the immortals. ”

"It's really good poetry." Gao Su admired. Seeing him looking at himself with a smile, he looked like he was going to urge himself to compose a poem, and hurriedly made a gesture. "Come, I'll introduce you. This is Gu Huan, the general of Dingyuan, who was transferred to Lanling County from Jinyang, and has been guarding the border passes on the Great Wall with his father General Gu Xian Gu before, and has repeatedly repelled Turkic invasions. The last time the Zhou army invaded my territory, he rushed to the aid of Lord Duan in the starry night, and even killed me side by side under Kim Yong City, he was a great young general. Brother Gu Xian, these two are both famous talents. One is Lord Lu Sidao, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, and the other is Lord Xiao Fang of the Imperial Wenlin Pavilion. ”

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time." Gu Huan didn't care if he had heard of it or not, so he first made a gesture of admiration and hugged his fists in greeting.

When those literati saw her so young, they thought she was some nephew of Gao Su, but they didn't expect that she was a general, and she had such a brilliant record, they were a little surprised, and even those scholars who boasted of being high couldn't help but be slightly moved.

Lu Sidao is a student of Xing Shao, the "third son of the Northern Dynasty", who is only thirty-two years old now, and has already moved the world with the name of his article. He has always hated war, but the Turks invaded the border, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, and he was always hated by everyone in the Central Plains. ”

"Don't dare to be." Gu Huan Si said gently. "I just follow my father-in-law and father, and I do my best, but it's not worth mentioning."

"General Gu is too modest." Xiao Fang is gentle and authentic. "War always separates people from their wives and makes everyone miserable. General Gu's protection of the territory and the people is a supreme merit. ”

"What Lord Xiao said is extremely true." Gu Huan looked at him very much like a Jiangnan person, and he had a good impression of him. "If you are proficient in martial arts, you must do your best to protect the safety of the people."

"It is a blessing for me to have the prince and General Gu here." Several people next to him were amazed.

Gao Su introduced Gu Huan one by one on the side. These are all famous people and inkmen in Lanling County, and Gu Huan humbly "admires" them one by one.

Finally, a man in a green shirt who had been playing the piano stood up. He is handsome in appearance, has a noble temperament, and is full of tenderness in his every move.

Gao Su didn't know him, so he looked at Lu Sidao and said, "Zixing, who is this?" ”

Lu Sidao said with a smile: "That's Zheng Huaiying, the famous pianist of Yecheng Red Sleeve Music Workshop. Xiyi and I traveled out of Yecheng and brought him with us. He's recently composed a new piece of music that he wants you to listen to first. ”

Gao Su raised his eyebrows and nodded with interest: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Gu Huan watched the young pianist walk back, sat down elegantly, and hurriedly sat on the felt carpet with Gao Su, waiting with great interest to listen to his music.

It's been nearly eight years, the first four years she was in Gufu, the last four years in the army, and she hasn't been to the Jiaofang wine shop at all, this is the first time she listens to music, and she can't help but be a little excited.

Zheng Huaiying lowered his eyes and groaned, suddenly shook his sleeves and turned his wrists, and his slender ten fingers stroked the strings.
