In the fourth year of Tianbao, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, canonized the Taizhen lady Yang as a concubine. The saint has not set up the middle palace for decades, and the position of the concubine has been worthy of the mother's ceremony, and even the sisters and brothers of the concubine are fortunate to follow the Son of Heaven, polo feasts, and orchestral songs.

The glory of the Yang family has become a legend that everyone envies. Gu Xixi held a toothpick in her mouth, and listened to Wei Niangzi pulling her aunt to ridicule her daughter for a while, and always felt that this was a mockery of herself.

remembered that he drank and listened to music with his brother Ye Erlang last night, Ye Erlang counted the bottles of fine wine, sighed lightly, and said: "The concubine is favored, I am afraid that he will not be able to sleep in the East Palace." The crown prince was not honored by the saints...... "Gu Xixi fell back and lay on his back, and after a while, Ye Erlang heard a burst of snoring.

"Dog thing, real sleep and fake sleep?" Ye Erlang retracted his strength and kicked on Gu Xixi's waist, he was stunned and didn't wake up.

At this time, Gu Sushi turned around and saw the back of his son running out.

"Dog stuff." Gu Sushi gritted his teeth slightly and scolded secretly. At first glance, it was the little lady of the Hu people who sold wine and stretched out her arms to dance the Hu Xuan dance, and the Jin Ling on the white ankles jingled, and there were some pleasant melodies accompanied by the dance.

The official Lang Jun who led the horse couldn't help but look at it a few more times, so that the old scholar who had read a few sage books saw this scene, shook his head and sighed, and muttered three sentences in a daze

"Indecent". The liveliness and prosperity of Chang'an West City is due to the wisdom and majesty of Li Longji, the son of heaven, who created this prosperous world.

The so-called romantic and heroic, singing and dancing, is today's Datang. Gu Xixi, who was dressed in cloth, felt that he was stained with the light of this peaceful year, he wore a half-new satin round-necked robe and sat on a bamboo mat at the door of a wine shop, a roll of I Ching was placed in front of him, and a few old copper plates dug out of the ground were thrown in a pottery bowl at random.

He's setting up a stall to tell fortunes. A mouthful of courgette has not been chewed and was so frightened by the movement of the shoulder that he swallowed half of the smelt alive, he covered his mouth and coughed several times, barely smoothed his chest, turned his head and was about to have a seizure, but he saw that the person who came turned into a smile.

This slap on Gu Xixi's shoulder scared him a lot, and the person who scared him was his fellow sister, Gu Panpan.

Pan Niang's pair of apricot eyes smiled into a crescent moon, and her eyebrows were raised, and her delicate appearance was much better than that of the orchid over there.

She crossed her arms and looked at her brother, because her blushing face had not completely faded, and she couldn't help but step forward and pat someone on the back.

"Scareless you? Useless! Listening to the coquettish tone, Gu Xixi was not annoyed, but smiled very dotingly, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes were stretched.

He neatly rolled up the bamboo mat and put away the I Ching and the pottery bowl together before he spoke.

"Aya told you to come and arrest me again?" Without waiting for Gu Panpan to answer, Gu Xixi had already carried the bamboo mat into the wine shop.

The guy in the wine shop was busy greeting the big food merchant who was resting, Gu Xixi put the bamboo mat in a fixed corner of the wine shop, and took down the empty gourd hanging on the leather belt and made half a catty of wine himself, threw a few money on the empty table, and smiled at each other in unison.

"Brother doesn't listen to Yeye, but also listens to A-Niang, don't always do these chicken and dog things, study hard to get famous, and also fulfill Yeye's wish for half a lifetime, saving the old man from nagging at home every day." On the noisy streets of the West Market, Gu Xixi's ears were full of Gu Panpan's nagging, and her baby sister had to use her moving voice like the murmuring of a clear spring to say the words she was most unwilling to hear, Gu Xixi turned around helplessly, and let Gu Panpan, who was following behind, inadvertently crash into his brother's warm arms.

Gu Panpan nestled obediently in her brother's arms, and did not forget to stretch out a hand and twist it on her brother's arm holding her.

"Oops!" Strange screams of bravado. Gu Xixi was contented with her arms and bones, and her beautiful sister walked through the market and returned to Gu's house.

By the way, he also gave a slap in the eye to the beggar who was passing by and stared at him. It stands to reason that today is a good situation for all the people to be rich, how can there be beggars at the feet of the Son of Heaven?

Gu Xixi raised his feet and entered the door of his house, and sneered: If you are rich, you are poor, if you are expensive, you will be cheap, and if you have a sensible family like Ye Erlang, there will naturally be a dog like me who is cheated and abducted, and is addicted to gambling and drinking.

"Brother, run!" Hearing Gu Panpan's lips and teeth, Gu Xixi immediately subconsciously fled to his house.

Master Gu went to the kitchen to find a burning stick and guarded it in the yard, and as soon as he saw Gu Xixi enter the door, he was angry, and he was about to chase after him with a burning stick.

Gu Xixi was chased by his father since he was a child, and he almost practiced the martial arts of the rivers and lakes that the talking artist blows

"Flying eaves go off the wall", he

"Pong" crossed over to his mother, Gu Sushi, who was about to pull him, ran into the room, locked the door, and bolted the door. The family had to persuade Master Gu with good words, Gu Panpan called Ye Ye softly, and pulled his sleeve and shook it a few times.

Old Man Gu was so angry that he blew his beard, and pointed hatefully in the direction of Gu Xixi's room.

"The Gu family is also a shadowy clan whose ancestors were officials, and I have bad luck in this half of my life, so I can't climb the Qionglin banquet, why did I give birth to such an unenterprising dog like you? Look at the Ye family Erlang, a policy has won the favor of the saint, made an exception and enshrined the criminal department Langzhong, his character is stable and handsome, you always drink and have fun together, you are not ashamed of yourself? ! ”

"Just say a few words, our Xilang is also Zhou Zheng, and he is all romantic, why is he not as good as Ye Erlang?" Gu Sushi couldn't help but retort.

"Empty skin to eat?" Master Gu was puzzled.

“…… Concubines do not quarrel with their husbands. Gu Sushi took Gu Panpan's arm and was about to leave.

"The family dog can hunt and watch the door, he goes to the market to cheat, and if he cheats people, he has to gamble!" The more Master Gu spoke, the more angry he became.

"Serious fortune telling! Not a lie! Gu Xixi listened to it in the room, and couldn't help but open her throat and howl outside the door, and a sound floated through the entire courtyard, and everyone fell silent.

This scene happened to fall in the eyes of Ye Erlang, who had just stopped his horse and entered the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately bowed to the old man and said

"Uncle Shi". There was nothing to do on the rest of the day, and Ye Erlang brought the good wine at home to Gu Xixi for recreation. Master Gu looked at Ye Erlang with joy in his eyes, smiled and stepped forward to help, only saying that Qianlang is now a member of the Criminal Department, and he has official and good character, so it is not appropriate to salute the old man.

"Naturally, the family only talks about the eldest and youngest, the Gu Ye family is a world friend, you are my father, and the nephew does not dare to be rude." Ye Erlang behaved moderately, spoke thoughtfully, and entered the house with Master Gu with a slight touch of his robe.

Gu Panpan, who took the fan from the maid's hand and hid the flowers, turned sideways to avoid suspicion, couldn't help but glance at it quietly.

Lang Jun, who is graceful and steady, who doesn't love a young lady? This Ye Jiaerlang has a single name and a pious character, and he is a well-known young talent in Chang'an City.

Ye Qian reconciled with his wife the year before last, and there was a little lady named Heniang under his knees. As for why Lang Jun, who is so beautiful and has a promising future, has a restless family, but no one has the heart to speculate, after all, the people of the Tang Dynasty are civilized, and it is not uncommon to leave.

The people who begged for relatives and the media stepped through the threshold, Ye Qian never let go of the matter of remarrying, and he didn't even accept a concubine, and occasionally went to those Taoist temples outside the city to have fun, which was also elegant.

The maid Kite speculated privately that Gu Panpan actually liked Ye Qian in her heart.

"But it's not easy to fill the house, and besides, he has a daughter." Gu Xixi had already heard the movement outside, and expressed her gratitude to Ye Qian who happened to come to the rescue, and just saw her sister's shy and half-concealed appearance, she walked around behind her lightly and suddenly said a word.

The embroidered fan smashed into the shoulder socket, and the red shawl floated in the wind and swept past the tip of Gu Xixi's nose, bringing a light floral fragrance.

Before Gu Panpan turned around and left, he only left one sentence: "Dog thing, don't say that Qianlang is not good." Gu Xixi blinked, feeling a little aggrieved,

"I can't let Ye Erlang's dog thing take Pan Niang badly, my daughter of the boudoir, arrogant and willful!" He thought so.

…… Dog stuff? The house handed down by my great-grandfather even had a small pond that brought in living water and raised a batch of anchovies for the family to eat.

There is a pavilion by the pond, the evening breeze is refreshing, the moonlight is gentle, Gu Xixi and Ye Qian sat opposite each other in the pavilion, raised a glass and drank bitterly, Ye Qian looked at Gu Xixi who was playing with dice with his head down, and hesitated to speak.

"Your Majesty is opening Enke this year, although the court is not as clear as Zhang Xianggong in the past, but you don't want to live up to Uncle Shi's expectations and your full ...... Forget it, you're also a little talented. As soon as Gu Xixi raised his head, he met Ye Qian's somewhat evasive eyes, he had a close relationship with Ye Qian, and naturally knew that Ye Qian was open-minded and not very accustomed to being a lobbyist against his will.

"I'm Aya and you're asking you to persuade me to take the imperial examination?" Ye Qian drank another glass of wine and nodded.

"I don't have the talent of you, and I can't do a splendid article." Gu Xixi rarely put away his smile, there was a little more positive color between his eyebrows, he paused slightly, and said: "Even if everyone says that Li Linfu is black, who dares to say that Zhang Jiuling is white?" The moonlight shone on his handsome face, but it was flickering by the shadows of the trees around him.

If the preface does not match the afterword, Ye Qian understands what Gu Xixi means. Come on, no one can resist himself, a brother who is willing to spoil himself into a dou.

"It's just a peaceful dissidence, and no one knows how long it will last." Ye Qian has ambitions in his chest, and he is in the midst of officialdom, he can see clearly, and in front of Gu Xixi, he dares to say some truths other than singing praises and virtues.

As he spoke, he filled the two with wine.

"An Lushan is rolled out of the pile of dead people, right and wrong, and he pretended to be loyal in front of the saint, just to cling to the emperor's grace? Just to call the concubine a mother? The Holy One will not fail to understand these truths. Gu Xixi tilted his body, looking loose, his smile was like the evening breeze of the time, in the chaotic night, so scattered that no one could catch it.

He listened to Ye Qian quietly, he knew that Ye Qian's ambition was by no means right, just a criminal department. In Chang'an City, and even in the entire Tang Dynasty, there are thousands of scholars with Ye Qian's talent and ambition, desperately squeezing to the temple.

He is careless, just a mayfly in heaven and earth.

"If the Holy Lord is seen through by you, you Ye Wenyu should stand on the Hanyuan Hall as a Zaifu." The two talked and laughed, and saw a dim lantern in the flower garden opposite the small pond, two figures were moving, one of them was exquisite, Gu Xixi knew at a glance that it was his sister with a kite.

Gu Panpan wanted to pick some dewy flowers from the flower garden to dye her nails, but when she got up, she saw Ye Qian just looking at her.

Separated by the distance between the night and a small pond, the two seemed to be close to each other. Gu Panpan's picturesque eyebrows and eyes, Ye Qian has memories since he was a child, and he has never forgotten them.

Gu Panpan was born good-looking, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked when she smiles, her eyes seem to be slightly springy, her shoulders are slightly contained, and she is delicate and clever.

"Erlang, are you marrying Panniang?" Gu Xixi looked at Ye Qian, who was stunned, and suddenly asked.

"Not a good match." Ye Qian blurted out three words, but suddenly heard the sound of rustling behind him. It turned out that he was stunned, Gu Panpan had already bypassed the small pond, and came to the pavilion with joy, and as soon as he stepped on the steps, he heard the three words that were not so matched.

Gu Panpan was spoiled by Gu Xixi, and suddenly became annoyed, glared at Ye Qian, his cheeks flushed, and before Ye Qian could react and explain, the person had already turned around and ran away.

"Panniang, I ......"
