Chapter Seventy-One: The Summons (Part II)
The former Xianjian Garden, but it is the east of the provincial capital, with the people coming, through the three streets, it is there.
The gate is based on five wings, and there are stone lions, non-five officials above the five grades, or nobles can not have this house, only to enter, I heard the faint sound of Sheng Xiao Qinse.
Through several corridors, you can see the big garden here, there is an artificial lake in the middle, look at it from afar, a wave of light, the middle is still a corridor, in the wooden, zigzag, a hall in the center of the lake, faintly see more than a dozen people.
At this moment, a girl was playing the piano, and when Fang Xin walked to the middle section, he stopped and listened to the sound through the water.
At this time, the spring breeze in March is like scissors, although it is not spring, it is also the end of winter, and the notes flow smoothly, turning into a beautiful musical score, digging into the deepest feelings in everyone's heart.
After waiting for a while, Fang Xin came in, but saw the old man that day, Mr. Yan Min was also seated, and the others were all dressed in civilian clothes, but their bearing was extraordinary.
"The students have met the old man, Mr. Yan, and the adults." Fang Xin bowed his hand.
"You are Li Rui? Why, when you see Lord Hou, you still don't want to give a big gift? One of the people present said unhappily.
"This adult, the student just came out of the county, I really don't know where this is, and what a noble person here, please give me some advice, so that the students can see it." Fang Xin bowed his hand deeply and said.
"Oh, Li Rui, I've been knowing each other for a long time, let me tell you, this is the founding Marquis Lu, this is the Xuanzheng envoy Master Fu, this is the Governor of Xiwen Mansion Lord Cao, this is the Governor of the Mansion Tongqian Lord, come and see the ceremony!" Yan Min said with a little bit of mention.
Fang Xin was awe-inspiring, although Xiucai could see that the county did not worship, but it was only so, above the six grades, it was necessary to see the big gifts, this is because the level difference is too much, and everyone present is at least the sixth grade.
As for the knighthood. The Taizu of this dynasty stipulated. The male is equal to the sixth grade, the son is equal to the fifth grade, and the male is equal to the fourth grade. Hou is equal to three products, Gong is equal to two products, the prince is equal to one product, and the prince is super product, and there is the word "founding", which means that after the founding hero of the world with Taizu back then, the hereditary is not replaced, and it is a higher product. Therefore, this Luhou, even if all the others have no official position, is equivalent to an official of the second grade, and is almost equal to the prime minister.
At that moment, I bowed respectfully and paid homage to the adults present.
After the visit was finished, Lu Hou waved his hand and said, "Get up." You are a good learner, I also read the paper of Xiucai last time, and I was ranked ten on this list, and I was slightly wronged by you. ”
After speaking. Then he said to the people around him, "This is in my house, you don't have to go to court, you can sit too!" ”
When she received this order, the maid took a small mound and put it on the lower seat. Fang Xin paid attention to this. found that there was a roll on Lu Hou's table. When it was the paper he got that day, he didn't sit down first, and after thanking him, he said: "Back to the Hou Ye, the student is only shallow in learning, and he is too young, and he is in the top ten on this list, he is already panicking, I am afraid that he will lose the favor of the court, how dare he be a little arrogant and self-controlled?" I didn't continue to take the provincial test that day! ”
The imperial examination, the county test to get children, the county test to get Xiucai, the provincial test to take the people, because they are all the province, the county and the county, so they are all continuous, the middle time is only half a month, only the examination of the jinshi, all provinces in the country must rush to the imperial capital, this is troublesome, so it must be re-examined in the coming year, at least to give the world the time to enter Beijing.
"Since you know that you are shallow, why did you come to take this Enke again?" The same acquaintance asked again.
Fang Xin was a little strange, it was also the first time they met, why was this Lord Qian a little hostile, but he was not afraid, and after bowing to him, he said: "Back to the words of the adult, my fair lady, the gentleman is good, the student still has some allusions." ”
At the moment, he went to visit He's house, and there were two sisters and two daughters, and they wanted to marry together, but Xiucai had no right to be upright and equal, so he wanted to take the matter of people.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Qian was furious and said: "The country is to govern the people and the country, and how can it be used for the private feelings of your children, so light, how can it be reused." ”
Fang Xin's eyes flashed, and he smiled without words.
At this time, Lu Hou laughed and said: "This is also human nature, what is the crime, sealing the wife and the son, the court law is like this, why should Lord Qian be too harsh?" If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you said this to me that day, and Ben Hou thought so. ”
As soon as this sentence was said, the atmosphere in the venue was immediately resolved, and what Mr. Qian wanted to say, but he didn't say it. "Exactly, but what Master Qian said also makes sense, the country takes people, but it's not usual, you still need to show some skills to make people laugh." Mr. Yan was wearing a silk robe, and although it was spring, he was still holding a bamboo fan, and he said with a smile at the moment.
As soon as this sentence came out, Fang Xin realized something, and replied respectfully at the moment: "Yes, both Master Qian and Mr. Yan have taught the truth, and the students should keep it in mind." ”
Seeing that the attitude is respectful, even Lord Qian has nothing to say.
"Fang Cai Lan Ji poured four seats in a song, but although this piano is good, it still needs poetry to sing, it complements each other, this dynasty is prosperous with articles, this poetry is indeed inferior to the previous dynasty!"
"The article is the right way of the sages, and it can also govern the world and help the people, although this poem is good, it is just a literati game."
"Having said that, but most of the songs are from the previous dynasty, and they are also a little discolored, even the last time the emperor had a banquet, it was just a famous poem on this book, although there are Jinshi, and the poems are also good, in the end it is not as good as before."
"Master Hou, this is also a helpless thing, the previous dynasty used poetry to take scholars, and all the scholars in the world took this as a priority, and naturally famous works were stacked, and the poetry of this dynasty is not a big test, and there are a few people in the world who can concentrate on this."
"That's right, but Ben Hou heard that your poetry is still good, Li Rui, if you have a good sentence today, Ben Hou will reward you with this Lan Ji, how about it?" Lu Hou said, and suddenly turned to Fang Xin with a smile and said.
When Fang Xin heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and composed his own poems, but in a month, how did it flow into the ears of Hou Ye, and when he saw the strange looks of the officials, he thought about it carefully, and said: "Hou Ye, I am still waiting for the students to take a closer look." ”
Just now this Lan Ji is the family of Lu Hou, of course, you can't look closely, this time, I looked carefully, but I saw her sixteen or seventeen years old, at this time, in February, she was still wearing a gauze dress, her breasts were half exposed, her face was better than snow, and she was as beautiful as jade, but she was already smiling, and said: "If it is a beautiful woman like jade, the student really wants to take it, so please give the Hou Ye pen and ink, the student has already gotten the word, although it may not be the right scene, but also to the Hou Ye." ”
"Oh, so fast, get the pen."
At that moment, there was a waitress who sent pen and ink.
After Fang Xin thanked him, he stepped forward generously, and the ink was carefully polished in front of the table, concentrating on his energy, this kind of indifferent bearing, in front of everyone, but it was true, born from his bones, so pampered and not surprised, everyone present was thoughtful, even if it was Lord Qian, he had to admit that this son did have a bit of anger.
"Orchid gold clay belt, patterned jade palm comb. Ji smiled and helped each other down the window steps, and the thrush of love was not deep or shallow? I have been working for a long time, and I have tried to draw flowers. When I was idle and hindered my embroidery work, I smiled and asked how to write the word Lianzhi? "Concentrate on writing, while groaning, a stroke of a stroke, like a natural one.
In just a few words, the leap is in love, and this is the result.
Fang Xin was also very satisfied, dipped in ink, and wrote the words "Congjiang Li Rui" below.
Slightly changing the numbers, removing the "phoenix bun" and "dragon pattern", but it has depicted a youthful romance, both form and spirit, and his people are about to come out.
Thrush, in fact, is the ancient literature of men and women, the depth is more expressive, "love the way" this sentence, has seen the coquettish, "make the pen" and "depict flowers", but also the joy of the combination of men and women, but it makes people feel, there is no obscenity, this kind of literary talent, it is really difficult to describe.
The people present are all men and women who have been in affairs for a long time, Lu Hou read it first, read it again, read it three times, and couldn't help but be surprised!
The word Lan Ji is already in it, and the sentence "Send Lan Ji to you" was answered, and Lu Hou said at the moment: "What a smile and question, it is in Lan Ji's heart, it seems that Lan Ji belongs to you." ”
Speaking of this, everyone looked at it, and saw that Lan Ji was flushed, lowered her eyebrows and was silent, but she had already acquiesced.
Wait to take this volume to see, it is amazing, only to see this word, rigorous implied romance, elegant in several rules, the spirit of the pen is enough, just a piece of paper, almost like the rhyme, at the moment even called people: "Make this paper roll, and leave the seal letter here, which is also a witness!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, took this volume, and figured out a little, and also felt that the combination of words and poems was a rare work, and the current Xuanzheng envoy Fu who had not spoken much at the moment couldn't help but sigh a word: "Good!" ”
I took out the private seal around me first, and covered it upright, and the other people were the only ones.
Fang Xin put down his pen and thanked him, but said: "Hou Ye is as good as he says, students have always loved sex, seeing this stunning color, I am really looking forward to it today, I don't know if Hou Ye has any other rewards?" It's also Ranki's dowry! ”
Lu Hou was taking a sip of water, and when he heard this, he immediately laughed, pointed at Fang Xin and said: "This kid is really in a hurry, so he is in a hurry to take his mouth, that's it, you and Lan Ji go to the inner courtyard together, say goodbye to Mrs., and let Mrs. see you, Lan Ji grew up in the mansion, a few of my daughters, Ben Hou really won't treat you badly!" ”
At this time, Lan Ji stared at Fang Xin, then got up, bowed to Lu Hou Yanran again, and whispered: "Xie Hou Ye, Lan Ji will say goodbye!" ”
And Fang Xin also saluted generously, and after getting up, Fang Xin was in front and Lan Ji was behind, and a few maids led the way, and he left.
Seeing him acting so calmly, Lu Hou couldn't help but say: "There are strange men in the real world!" ”
