Chapter 355: The Bachelor's Banquet

"See, see His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

Changsun Xi looked at the two people standing together under the bookshelf and turned her head at the same time, and when she heard the salute behind her, she withdrew her gaze on Yi Yu, forced out a smile, and said:

"Why is the fourth brother here?"

Li Tai glanced at the smiling and somewhat reluctant eldest grandson, turned around and continued to flip through the bamboo slips on the bookshelf, and said, "No courtesy." ”

The few people who saluted straightened up, but they froze there not knowing whether to leave or stay, and the same tangled was the Yu Yu, who was standing beside Li Tai with a book, and was stared at by Changsun Xi's slightly resentful little eyes just now, and she couldn't say anything in her heart.

Changsun Xi seemed to be surprised by Li Tai's ignorance, the smile on his face was a little more natural, and he didn't step forward, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the book in Yu Yu's arms from a distance, and said:

"Miss Lu has found so many, and we haven't seen a single one yet."

"Well," Yu Yu replied, turning to Li Tai and saying, "Your Highnessβ€”"

Li Tai turned around and put the two books on the pile of books in her hand, interrupting her words of farewell, "These are the ones on the fourth floor, and there are a few more on the second and third floors. After speaking, he turned around and walked out, and several people at the crossings hurriedly gave way to the side and bowed down at the same time.

After walking a few steps, he found that Yi Yu had not followed, so he paused and turned his head to look at the little girl standing in place.

"Come here."

Past? She's stupid, this is not private, the two of them get close, anyway, no one sees it, but now there are people on the side watching, what is going on with him saying those words! Shouldn't you keep your distance from her outside, pretending not to know her, no, it's not in private, and the two of them should also keep their distance!

Lu Zhongzhi's reminder that morning suddenly came to his mind, and Yu Yu was excited, hugged the book in his hand, bowed to Li Tai, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking the time to help the students find books, these are enough, the students will leave first." ”

Seeing her such a detached and respectful attitude, Li Tai's eyes changed slightly, and when she walked quickly past him with her head down, the fingers hanging by her side moved, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand, letting her slip over, and the footsteps were far away.

"Fourth brother turns out to know Miss Lu?" Eldest Sun Xi withdrew his gaze from the back of the relict jade, turned his head and smiled at Li Tai.

As soon as the "......" person left, Li Tai, who was not in a good mood, was even more lazy to speak, turned around and walked outside, and Changsun Xi whispered hello to the students who were standing aside, and trotted to follow.

"The book list sent by Mr. Su, Xi'er has a few books that I really want to read, but I can't find it, is the fourth brother free at the moment, can I help Xi'er find it?" Keeping up with Li Tai at the staircase, the eldest grandson Xi leaned his head and begged softly, his face was full of coquettishness, if he changed to someone else, he was afraid that he would agree to come down regardless of it, but Li Tai seemed to be behind his ears, and he stepped down the stairs expressionlessly.

However, the eldest grandson Xi was not discouraged, his smile was still the same, and he asked and answered: "If you don't have time, forget it, you can change the day," and then the conversation changed, "The ninth day of the first month is the birthday of the fourth brother, I heard that my father said that it was going to be done in Furong Garden, hehe, Xi'er personally prepared a gift for you." ”

Speaking of this, she glanced sideways at Li Tai's waist, but when she saw the object that was gently swaying with his steps, she was suspicious in her eyes, and blurted out: "Who matched the clothes for the fourth brother today, the color of the lotus bag is wrong." ”

Li Tai, who was silent for a long time, finally opened Chrysostom and gave two words-

"Noise."

Eldest Sun Xi muttered in a low voice: "Xi'er is not there." ”

When he said this, the two had already walked to the first floor, but Li Tai suddenly stopped, and Changsun Xi followed his gaze in confusion, but saw the jade left by the recorder at the door of the big library building in the distance, and the lingering smile just now instantly stretched up, and she stood behind Li Tai, slowly lowered her head, until the jade went out with the book, Li Tai walked forward again, but she didn't follow again.

"Fourth brother, I'll look for a book here again, you can go back first."

Changsun Xi looked up at the back in front of her who did not respond, and finally couldn't help but roll a teardrop in her eyes, but she quickly raised her hand to wipe it away.

She should have gotten used to it a long time ago, isn't it, this person is such a cold and silent character, since she was eight years old when she saw him as a teenager in the apricot orchard, that's it, she doesn't care about anyone, everyone is the same, she shouldn't feel sad, she shouldn't be sad, so that there will be expectations, I look forward to her growing up, she will become a special person, not someone else, it's her, it's her!

Take a deep breath and suppress your tears, the immature face is full of stubbornness.

In the evening, Yiyu was in the Chaoyang Garden of Old Man Lu, and the three of her ancestors and grandchildren had dinner, so she went back to Xiangli Courtyard alone, and when she entered the house, she asked Pingtong to pick up the books she brought back in the afternoon, and after half an hour, Lu Zhifang walked in from outside with a cold air.

"Dinner?"

"Well, I just used it at my grandfather's place, what about my eldest brother?"

"Ate outside."

Pinghui stepped forward to take the cloak that Lu Zhi had untied, and Pingtong handed over a cup of hot tea, he took it and drank it, and after sitting down opposite the Yiyu, she put the book upside down on the case, and asked with a smile on her face:

"Where?"

In the afternoon, Yiyu went to the Literature Museum, Lu Zhi went to Guozijian to take classes as usual, but ate outside without saying hello, she would not have asked before, but yesterday at noon in front of the Tai Academy, she remembered Feng Yating's angry voice clearly-

Lu Zhi, if you don't go, then we won't have anything to say!

It is false to say that she is not curious, she who was entrusted by Lu Zhongzhi to pay attention to Lu Zhi's movements, will naturally pay attention to his whereabouts in the past two days.

"I saw a friend."

"Friendβ€”do I know each other?" Yu Yu held up his cheeks.

Lu Zhi glanced at her amusedly, took the book on the side and flipped through it, and said, "Yes." ”

"Oh," Yi Yu dragged a long word before blinking and saying, "It's Miss Feng." ”

"It's not." Seeing her mention Feng Yating, Lu Zhi replied without changing his face.

"Liar."

"Nope."

"Is that Miss Zhao, Miss Zhou, or Miss Wang?"

Lu Zhi sighed lightly, put the book down, raised his eyes to see her gossipy face, and said, "What a mess, don't guess, it's Mr. Du looking for me." ”

Hearing the exact name of the person, Yi Yufang believed him, and said curtly: "What is Mr. Du looking for you to do." ”

"There will be a banquet exhibition in the Tianwei Pavilion tomorrow morning, and Mr. has a painting to exhibit."

The banquet does not refer to the banquet of eating and drinking, but the most popular way of literary communication in the capital, usually the organizers are more status, the invited literati will bring their most satisfactory works in the near future, or calligraphy, painting or poetry, and there will be some famous guests in various fields invited to participate, the works on the banquet will be evaluated, and the best ones will be selected.

"The banquet of the Heavenly Mist Pavilion," Yi Yu became interested, "Is it a bachelor's banquet?" ”

In Chang'an City, there are large and small banquets held almost every once in a while, but what can really make the literati famous is only the "bachelor's banquet" held from time to time once every six months, the so-called bachelor's banquet, which is built by the current emperor when he was still the prince in the literature museum, among the famous "eighteen bachelors", at least four people jointly attended the evaluation, so as to have this elegant name.

"Well, do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to go!" This is a bachelor's banquet, maybe you can see the "five uniques" Yu Shinan, but you can't see Mr. Yu, according to the grade of this banquet, you will also see a lot of good words, it's strange that she doesn't want to go!

"Whoa." Lu Zhi smiled and took out a palm-sized folded invitation from his arms, handed it to her, saw that she looked at the invitation excitedly, but after a while, it wilted again, handed the invitation over, and said:

"Forget it." Yi Yu said, the opportunity is rare, Du Ruojin has such an invitation, it is not easy to give Lu Zhi, she can't delay Lu Zhi in order to be happy for a while, see an "idol" or something.

Lu Zhi couldn't see what she was thinking, so he took out another invitation card and put it on the case, and said, "Mr. Du gave one, and Dr. Jin also gave one in the afternoon, let's go together." ”

Hearing this, Yi Yu's eyes lit up again, and he happily took the invitation, and asked strangely: "Dr. Jin is the dean of our academy, how can I give the invitation to the eldest brother?" ”

"It's not for me, it's for me to bring it to you, I've taken my leave tomorrow morning, rest early tonight, and I'll take you to Jinji to drink porridge early tomorrow morning."

It turns out that this is the case, after being admonished by Dr. Jin yesterday, and getting an invitation from him today, Yi Yu thanked the old man a little more, nodded in response to Lu Zhi, and chatted with him a little more, and after he returned to the house, she bathed and washed away the sweat of looking for books in the big book building in the afternoon, and then went to bed to rest.

Du Fu

After having dinner with the officials outside, Du Ruhui did not go back to his room to rest, but asked his subordinates and went straight to the east courtyard.

Du Ruojin was reading a book in the study, when she heard the movement, she looked up, looked at the figure who walked in with the curtain lifted, got up and saluted respectfully, and called:

"Daddy."

"Sit." After retiring in front of the door, Du Ruhui sat down on the chair opposite him, and said, "You have been invited to the banquet of the Tianhao Pavilion tomorrow?" ”

"Yes," Du Ruojin smiled warmly and said, "My father has been busy these days, so I haven't looked for a chance to tell you." ”

After looking at the eldest son who was pleasing to the eyebrows for a long time through the light, he sighed and said helplessly:

"Jin'er, why don't you listen to your father's persuasion and help the emperor do things, it's not so easy."

"Dad laughed, this Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, which one is not doing things for the emperor." Du Ruojin turned her eyes, looked at the nearby yarn lamp, and said.

"You know what Daddy means!" Du Ruhui's expression suddenly became a little excited, and he said in a deep voice: "You, what you and Zhi'er do, no matter how big you do, you will not see the light after all, to say a big disrespectful word, when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, where will there be a place for you!" ”

"Dad," Du Ruojin turned her head and said softly, "You have a few more drinks tonight, and I'll ask someone to help you go back to your room to rest." ”(! )
