Chapter 46: The Banquet (Part 2)

When Yang Xuan returned home, he sat on the threshold in a daze.

"Something is wrong with Lang Jun when he comes back." Cao Ying frowned, "The key is that Lang Jun doesn't say it." ”

"Said it was useful? Can you help him? Yi Niang said angrily, "Wait." ”

She suddenly raised her head and raised Cao Ying's hand beside her.

The falcon bird landed on Cao Ying's arm like lightning, and his sharp claws grabbed him and snorted. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, a gentleman doesn't know a woman in general!" ”

Yi Niang took out the letter and looked down at it.

"What did you say?" Cao Ying also wanted to peep.

Yi Niang took the paper and walked over slowly.

"Lang Jun."

Yang Xuan raised his head, "Today I went to see off Yan Gong, many people went, and the people in Chang'an City were all grateful when they mentioned him. But I'm a little confused, such a good person, a good official, why can't he die well? ”

Yi Niang lowered her head, "Lang Jun, this world is a good person...... Difficult to do. ”

"yes!" Yang Xuan was shocked by that scene today, but the more this happened, the more uncomfortable he felt, "I felt that I was tied up and couldn't move." ”

Cao Ying stepped forward, and he felt a little pity for the young man in front of him...... A fifteen-year-old boy with a little innocence in his temperament is still burdened with heavy responsibilities, and ordinary people have long been crushed.

"Lang Jun, those bondage ......"

He's weighing his words.

Yang Xuan nodded, "I know that those constraints come from my cognition of this world, and these cognitions will in turn bind me. ”

"I want to break free from these invisible ropes, but I don't know how to do it......"

It was the first time he was at a loss.

But soon he put away his weakness. In those years in the mountains, if he was weaker, he would have died under the minions of fierce beasts and turned into dung in Dongyu Mountain.

"Lang Jun, Yang Luo sent a letter, with His Majesty's words." Yi Niang handed over the note.

Yang Xuan looked at the two people in front of him, "Read it." ”

It's all been seen, and the secretive ones make people laugh.

Cao Ying was a little impatient.

Yi Niang took the note and read softly: "My son ......"

Yang Xuan squinted, feeling for the first time the father's attitude towards him.

Will it encourage me to rebel? Or appease me to be an ordinary person?

"My son, this world is dangerous, and it is better to be cunning and cruel than to be kind."

Yang Xuan sat there for a long time, waving his hand gently.

Cao Ying and the others retreated.

Yang Xuan didn't eat lunch, he just sat on the threshold and looked at the ground quietly.

Until dinner, Yi Niang was worried, so she came to persuade again.

"Lang Jun, there are many things to look at."

Yang Xuan just waved his hand slightly.

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the stars fill the sky.

The figure sat there, motionless.

Cao Ying and Yi Niang have also been standing under the tree.

In the front yard, the old thief slept soundly.

Giggles!

The rooster sang, causing the two people under the tree to shake their bodies.

"Go back and rest."

Yang Xuan stood in front with his hands in his hands.

"Lang Jun." Yi Niang was worried to death, "If you can't do it, you won't rebel, no, don't rebel, the slave will accompany Lang Jun to Yuanzhou, marry a lady for Lang Jun, give birth to a bunch of children, and the slave will bring children to Lang Jun, ah!" ”

Yang Xuan looked at her, his eyes were brighter than ever. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled Yi Niang in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Thank you." ”

Yi Niang's body stiffened, and then she hugged Yang Xuan's waist and back, and choked up: "The slave is afraid that Lang Jun will feel uncomfortable." ”

"A gentleman can't hug a woman at will......" Cao Ying muttered, reaching out to wipe away her tears.

Yang Xuan let go of his hand and smiled, "I just untied the rope that bound me." ”

At the age of ten, he went into the mountains to hunt and survive, and the experience of those five years was more thrilling than the fifty years of ordinary people. All kinds of fierce beasts in the mountains, all kinds of cold eyes and harsh treatment at home, if he was a pure person, he would have died a long time ago, and there would be no scum left.

"You are all kinds of weakness and compromise caused by the desire for family affection."

I heard Suzaku's voice in my ears.

Yang Xuan took a deep breath, "It's good to be alive!" ”

Until last night, he had been the same teenager in Xiaohe Village. After witnessing the end of Yan Cheng, he woke up a little. And the father's last words made him sober up like an enlightenment. All the past's memories are vivid, and then they are thrown aside.

A kind of happiness of rebirth, he couldn't help but breathe the air greedily. Looking at everything familiar in front of me, it feels so fresh.

"Congratulations." Suzaku said.

While having breakfast, Cao Ying said, "Lang Jun, do you want someone to watch at Yuanzhou Ramen?" ”

"Not necessarily." Yang Xuan shook his head.

Cao Ying felt that Yang Xuan seemed to have something more and something missing, but she couldn't say it clearly, and she couldn't say it, "I'm afraid that those two women will swallow money in private." ”

Yang Xuan put down his chopsticks, "If I can make one Yuanzhou ramen, I can make ten hundred, whoever leaves at this time will not send it." ”

Suzaku's voice came from his ears, "The intestines are repentant." ”

Yang Xuan went to the room, Yi Niang didn't have the heart to eat, frowned and said: "That's money, how did Lang Jun become extravagant......

"A gentleman doesn't say anything." Cao Ying ate a piece of mutton and squinted her eyes and said comfortably.

Yi Niang sneered, "Thinker, come up with an idea." ”

Cao Ying stretched out her hand to stroke her beard, reserved ......

"Your lunch is gone." Yi Niang has never been accustomed to anyone's faults, except for Lang Jun, of course.

Cao Ying's face changed, and she said with a dry smile: "Actually, it's simple, you often say that Lang Jun has no women to serve, and the four ladies are also lovely, if Lang Jun takes her in...... Ho ho ho ho! ”

Both people and money!

He was proud, and when he saw Yi Niang Muran, he asked, "But you don't understand?" ”

Yi Niang raised her eyes, "For the sake of money, you dare to let Lang Jun accept a businesswoman, what about temperance?" ”

"Discipline?" Cao Ying coughed dryly, "A gentleman should also know how to be flexible." ”

Later, the two appeared outside the Wonju ramen.

"How? The buttocks are big, the face is clean, and the eyes are bright, but the breasts are bigger, and I look tired and panicked. Cao Ying said with an expert look.

Han Ying's figure loomed in the store.

Yi Niang swept over with the eyes of choosing a woman for the emperor, and said lightly: "I'm afraid of crushing Langjun, it's not good to be stuffy." ”

……

"The prince is coming."

An Ziyu said annoyedly: "When the crown prince was canonized, the prince eunuch only gave gifts, and did not send people to congratulate him. What is he doing today? The weasel greets the chickens for the New Year, and they are uneasy and kind! ”

"If you don't form a party, you naturally won't send people to congratulate you." Ning Yayun stroked the qin gently, and said lightly: "He comes, if he doesn't come, the country is here." ”

Ning Yayun's eyes showed a fierce light, and the fire fold was in her hand, "If you let him put someone in, I will burn your guqin." ”

Ning Yayun sighed, this clock will come in.

"Hey!" He sighed as soon as he entered.

"Speak!" An Ziyu couldn't see such a sighing man the most.

Zhong Hui subconsciously dodged, but there was no ring ruler flying. He stroked his beard and said: "That Bao Dong's family has been in some trouble recently, my father is sick, and I want some precious medicinal materials, and the family has spent a lot of money......"

"I think he came here to earn money for his father's treatment, and I also scolded him for being lustful for profit." An Ziyu was stunned, and then choked up, "What a poor person, woo woo woo ......"

Outside, two officials accompanied the prince and the others with nervous faces.

Li Jing was dressed in civilian clothes and looked at the people around him with a smile.

This is the first time that the prince of the Tang Dynasty has entered the Guozijian after many years.

The attendants and attendants around him all kept straight faces...... The prince's affinity is a gesture, and their coldness is also a gesture.

Between the hot and the cold, a chasm arose between the prince and those people, which could not be seen, but could not be crossed.

"Woooooo

The cry in the duty room came, and an attendant made a straight face, "Your Highness is here, who is so unlucky?" Look! ”

One of the guards strode forward and slammed the door open.

"Get out!" A woman scolded.

The ring ruler flashed.

Bang!

The guard fell to the ground, rolled his eyes, and fainted with a burp. Rapid swelling on the forehead.

Li Jing's smile faded a little, and the subordinate official of the East Palace beside him, the great Confucian Hu Yanwei, said softly: "This is the dismount, Your Highness." ”

"Lone knows." Li Jing was still smiling.

"Sacrificial wine, Your Highness has come down."

Someone shouted.

Ning Yayun and the three of them went out to greet them, looking at the guards who fell to the ground, Ning Yayun sighed in her heart, but An Ziyu said, "This person didn't knock on the door. ”

Someone dragged the guards down, and Ning Yayun invited the prince in to serve tea.

When the tea was served, the waiter took out a small cup, poured some tea, and drank it immediately.

Li Jing smiled and said: "I haven't been to the Guozijian for a long time, how have the Guozijian been teaching and reading these years?" ”

This is the investigation that came.

Ning Yayun habitually wanted to stroke the qin, but now there was a case in front of her, so she touched a water cup and felt that she was numb, "Guozijian has been dilig......ent all these years."

The words are not leaky, metaphysics is independent, it is impossible for your prince to inspect his studies, right?

Li Jingzhen praised: "Not bad. ”

Hu Yanwei also nodded with a smile, "Poetry clouds, songs are songs." Today, the old man has a poem, throwing bricks and jade, and offering ugliness. ”

An Ziyu's eyes shrank...... A group of mallets in Guozijian are intoxicated with talking and cultivating, who has nothing to do to ponder and compose poetry?

Hu Yanwei thought for a moment and recited: "People's hearts are like good seedlings, and they are nourished to grow; The seedlings are irrigated with spring water, and the heart is raised by reason. If you don't read for a day, you don't have any good ideas. If I don't read for a month, my ears and eyes will be refreshed. ”

This poem fits perfectly with the atmosphere of Guozijian.

Hu Yanwei smiled: "Sacrifice ugliness." ”

An Ziyu glanced at Ning Yayun and thought that the prince was really here to smash the field.

While Ning Yayun secretly complained in her heart, she thought of the emperor's dissatisfaction with Zuo Xiang. Guozijian is an ally of Zuo Xiang, and the emperor's deal with Guozijian is to deal with Zuo Xiang. And the prince is here to make things difficult, is this to share the emperor's worries?

He looked at Zhong Hui.

Zhonghui's lips squirmed, and the embarrassed expression on his face was reminiscent of constipation.

Go back to penance!

An Ziyu looked at the prince and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere. But the prince looked at them with a smile, and there was an inviolable majesty in his peaceful eyes.

Alone here!

Poetry comes!

An Ziyu's heart sank, knowing that today's prince was going to slap the face of the prince of the country and flatter the emperor.

This person can dedicate his princess to the emperor, what can't he do?

Li Jing smiled, "How?" ”

Hu Yanwei arched his hand, "Please also advise." ”

The atmosphere in the room was tense to the point of silence.

"I have." Someone outside the door said.

The chamberlain turned around and shouted, "Your Highness is here, stop!" ”

The man outside the door was blocked by the guards, chanting to himself.

"The lights of the three watches and the five watches of chickens are when the boys are studying."

Hu Yanwei smiled, "Normal." But his feet moved uncomfortably.

These two lines of poetry are more natural and inspirational than his, and they have surpassed many others. Of course, two sentences are nothing...... Poetry! The last two sentences are the point.

The man outside the door continued to chant, "The black hair doesn't know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late." ”

These two sentences of summary can be called wonderful, and the persuasion is inspirational, which is not much better than Hu Yanwei's poems.

Hu Yanwei's hand shook, the water cup fell on the desk, and then tumbled down, and the tea was half of his body.

An Ziyu was ecstatic and asked, "Who's outside?" ”

"It's Yang Xuan!"
