The three major cultures that enjoy a high reputation in the world, the first is the capital city, the Forgotten Dust Building. Its poetry, dance and embroidery are famous all over the world, but because of changes on the way, they are declining. Second, the wine culture of Pei County, peach blossom brewing, is better than blue, attracting the favor of a large number of people. The third is the champion building in Luling County, which is rich in Confucian culture.

Luling County, belonging to Jiujiang County, is the place where Confucian culture is carried forward, or because of the strong influence of elegant culture, the scenery here has also become exquisite. Every flower and tree is poetic.

Su Dongpo once said: "The towering city is Guo Kuo, and Luling is half Suzhou"

It can be seen that the scenery of Luling County and Suzhou is not bad.

Another interesting thing is that the people in Luling County have poetry and books in their homes, the school looks at each other everywhere, the sound of recitation is heard everywhere, and even the thatched huts in the mountains also hear the sound of Langlang books.

The streets and alleys are full of scholars wearing long robes and shaking their heads and reciting poems.

The most famous thing in Luling County is the Zhuangyuan Building on Zhuangyuan Street.

Zhuangyuan Building is actually an inn, and students who enter Beijing to take the exam are frequent guests here. It is rumored that the students who have lived in this inn have either won the champion, or they have explored the flowers and set the eye, so they have won the famous brand of the champion building.

However, the rumors are also true, and the imperial examinations of the past dynasties have recruited the largest number of places in Luling County.

On this day, three people from other counties came to the champion street in Luling County, and their peculiar costumes and manners attracted the attention of many others.

Seeing this, the jade face also loosened the coiled long cloth shirt, opened the silver fan, and walked like a passer-by scholar.

Sheng Lan helped Huayan to the side, and when she saw his appearance, she couldn't help but sneer: "Could it be that the son also wants to learn from them to take the top prize?" ”

Yumian shook his fan, walked in a chic manner, and replied: "What's so difficult about taking the top prize?" Wait for me to stay in the champion building for a few nights, won't it be done? Yan'er, do you think I can be the champion? ”

Jade-faced's playful words made the painter smile. She pursed her lips and smiled: "If Childe hadn't spent most of his energy on participating in the martial arts cheats, with Childe's smart qualifications, it would indeed be more than enough to be a champion." ”

"Sheng Lan, listen to what your young lady has to say!" Jade smiled smugly and continued to take square steps.

Sheng Lan stopped joking, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Yu Mian suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Since we are here, why don't we go and see the true face of the Champion Tower?" ”

Listening to the jade face, the painting Yan also had an interest, "I have heard that there are 3,000 Jinshi Guanhua in Luling County, and the article is known as the fragrance of flowers, and now that I am here, it doesn't hurt to experience it." ”

"Exactly!" Jade Mian said, gladly leading the way.

The three of them came to the outside of the champion building, and before they entered the door, they heard the sound of reciting poems in a boiling voice, and the smell of books, paper and ink rushed towards them.

"Is the guest officer staying in the hotel, or is it sharp?" The shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him warmly.

Yumian turned around and asked what Hua Yan meant.

Before Huayan could answer, the shopkeeper was busy promoting: "The three guest officers are in a hurry, tonight, there will be a lantern festival in our place, when the time comes, everyone sings and plays drums, sells flowers and puts lanterns on the streets, everyone sings poems against each other, and it is very lively!" The guest officer might as well stay here for a few more nights, see the excitement and then leave, the strangers can't catch up! ”

The enthusiasm of the shopkeeper seems to have successfully infected these three outsiders, causing them to take a strong interest in all things in Luling County.

He smiled and asked, "Lantern Festival?" Is there a reason? ”

The shopkeeper replied: "The guest officer doesn't know, in our Luling, every leap year on January 15, a grand lantern festival will be held. On this day, the people's livelihood can be prayed, and the old moon will be matched. Especially for those who let go of the river lantern, the wish pack can be fulfilled! Which! It's on the Magpie Bridge behind Zhuangyuan Street. This is also the rule handed down by the ancestors, and officials from all walks of life also participated, in order to have a smooth wind and rain in the coming year, and blessing Luling! ”

"Miss, it's funny to hear him say that! Why don't we stay a few more nights! Sheng Lan said these words for the first time.

If you are like Shenglan's usual cold and indifferent temperament, she doesn't like to be lively the most, but now she takes the initiative to ask to join, which has to make Huayan feel a little surprised.

Huayan remembered the changes during this time, and even himself had changed, not to mention Sheng Lan?

"Okay, let's stay then." Painting the face of the road. A stream of acid welled up in my heart.

Sheng Lan's intentions are extremely simple, she has long seen the thoughts of Yu Fang to her young lady, and she heard that the shopkeeper said that she can match her lover at the Lantern Festival, so she wants to take the opportunity to connect Yu Mian with her young lady.

Yumian noticed the change in Huayan's mood, and in order to divert her attention, she hurriedly pulled her to the tea house on the second floor, "Come on, come on, I'm finally here, Yan'er will definitely accompany me to have a few drinks!" ”

Huayan and Yumian came to the café by the window on the second floor and sat down, and suddenly felt that there was a quiet sound around them, and the sound of reading just now had long since disappeared.

Huayan sensed that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yumian looked for a week and found that everyone around them was staring blankly at them, and they didn't even notice that the books and chopsticks in their hands had fallen. Slowly, Yumian discovered that these people's eyes were actually only on Hua Yan.

These scholars have never been able to bury their heads in reading the books of sages and sages, where have they ever seen such a stunning woman, and they listened to the words of Yumian to let this woman accompany the wine, in broad daylight, under the bright and bright sky, how could they not make this group of nerds stunned.

Yumian turned around and smiled: "It's okay, it's just that they don't read anymore and are looking at paintings." ”

Hua Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and smiled without saying a word.

Sheng Lan was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Aren't they reading or painting?" They are staring at us like this, it can't be someone sent by Liu Fang, right? As he spoke, Sheng Lan unconsciously clenched the blade in his hand.

Jade Mian raised his head and laughed, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "They are indeed looking at paintings, but they are looking at beauty paintings!" ”

"What do you mean?" Sheng Lan fell into the crisis of his own reverie, and did not understand the meaning of the jade face at all.

Jade-faced's words really worked, and the group of scholars all blushed, and quickly shifted their wavering gaze to the book in their hands. Therefore, it caused Jade Mian to laugh again.

Seeing that the jade-faced boy looked happy, Sheng Lan was sure that there was no danger and slowly relaxed his vigilance.

The dishes are served quickly, and both the dishes and the presentation are extremely exquisite.

"It's a long way to Peixian, eat more and replenish your strength." Yu Mian said softly while skillfully picking up the dishes for the painting.

Hua Yan nodded, obediently eating the dishes piled up in the bowl.

"Aren't you really going to go back to Taoyuan first? Don't see your masters? Jade asked with concern.

Painting Yan and holding chopsticks, he replied simply: "Time is pressing, you must go to the third prince first." ”

Jade Mian stopped talking and silently drank the wine in the cup.

"The third prince is a good friend, and I am sure that he will be happy to accept you." Hua Yan was only worried about this when Jade Mian was worried, and added.

Yumian shook his head and smiled, no more. Originally, he was just worried that the people in Taoyuan were worried about looking for Huayan everywhere, but after being reminded by Huayan, he was worried about another person, and he knew that Xiao Minglang was also in Pei County.

"The boss is here for a pot of wine!"

"Go! Go! Go! Go elsewhere and ask for food! ”

There was a sudden noise downstairs.

"What the store said is inappropriate, when will I ask you for a little? How do you know that I have no money with you? The other argued slowly.

The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently and said, "Come on!" Look at your sloppy dress, you can know without asking, it's really a book! Go somewhere else! Don't get in the way of my guests! ”

The man took out a silver ingot from his pocket and smashed it on the table, "The store can see clearly, this is real money!" ”

The shopkeeper blinked, and suddenly changed his tone and said, "Yo! The little one doesn't know the golden body of the son, and there are a number of rudenesses, and he hopes that the son will not count. Childe, please take a seat, good wine and good food will come soon! ”

The man snatched back the silver and said tepidly: "Since the shopkeeper talks about the number of courtesies, he can know the courtesy, and he does not talk about people in vain, and he does not give up his money." Etiquette, no overtime, no insult, not good? It can be seen that what the store did just now is rude, and it is actually not polite. I don't even know the ceremony, and I call the shopkeeper of the champion building, and I laugh at people. Send the shopkeeper a word, Ao can't be long, you can't follow the desire, you can't be satisfied, and you can't be happy. The sage respects it, fears it and loves it. Love and know its evil, hate and know its good! With that, the man walked out of the Champion Building.

Harmony was restored downstairs.

The corners of Yan's mouth raised, and he said to Yumian: "Yan'er wants to trouble Gongzi with something." ”

"Yan'er said yes." Jade Noodles diverted her attention from downstairs.

"The troublesome boy will invite the person who said the salute just now."

Jade Mian slapped the table and said happily, "That's what I mean!" As he spoke, he jumped straight from the window.

Jade Mian came to Zhuangyuan Street, searched everywhere, and finally found him at a noodle stall.

When I looked closely, I saw that the man had loose and shiny hair, and was wearing a pudding coarse cloth robe and torn cloth shoes. I'm eating a bowl of clear noodle soup with relish.

"Eating without alcohol is always not satisfying." Yumian didn't ask the man, and sat next to him casually.

The man didn't raise his head and continued to eat noodles, "The moon is cloudy and sunny, and life is full of perfection." ”

Yumian smiled, shook the fan, and continued: "I heard my brother's high-level argument just now, and my aura is lofty, and Xiaosheng really admires it. Xiaosheng wants to be the east, please ask my brother to talk about it in the champion building, and the wine is enough. ”

The man stopped the bamboo chopsticks in his hand and glanced back at the jade noodles. Straightened his messy thick eyebrows, and suddenly said, "In this way, I borrowed it." ”

As he spoke, he walked ahead of the curve.

Jade Noodles quickly followed. He found this person more and more interesting.

When the shopkeeper of the Zhuangyuan Building saw that the man had returned, and that he was accompanied by a noble son, he did not dare to stop him, and politely led them upstairs himself.

"This is ......" Yumian was about to introduce to Huayan, but found that he didn't know his name yet, and was about to ask him, he took the initiative to say: "Mingyue in Xiayutai." It's polite. He glanced at the painting and then turned to Yumian and said, "I don't know that Gongzi has another friend to accompany, I'm ...... I won't bother. ”

Jade Mask stopped: "Eh! You don't have to see outside, in fact, it was this young lady who asked me to invite you here. ”

Yumian didn't wait for him to answer, and directly pulled him to sit down.

"No, no, no, I'd better go. This...... It is not polite for men and women to sit at the same table, ...... "Yutai Mingyue stood up and was about to leave.

Huayan said with a smile: "The prince of Tantai knows that etiquette is good, but it should not be bound by etiquette. ”

Tantai Mingyue asked puzzledly, "What does Miss mean by this?" ”

"I'd like to ask Childe. Childe thinks that in addition to official ranks, family backgrounds, ranks, and clothing, is there still a distinction between high and low? ”

“...... No, man has limbs, two eyes, and a mouth. ”

Men and women are human beings, so why can't they be treated as equals? Can't we be in the same room? ”

Tantai opened his mouth to argue, but he was speechless.

Hua Yan continued: "Rites should exist to teach people to cultivate self-cultivation and morality, and to promote social harmony. What does the son of Tantai think? ”

Yutai Mingyue was stunned and said: "The girl has novel knowledge, and I admire it." ”

Hua Yan stood up and made a gesture of please, "Please take a seat." ”

Tangtai Mingyue no longer cares about the eyes of others, and simply sits down and raises the wine in the cup and drinks it all, it seems that he has been salivating for wine for a long time.

Yumian poured the wine again for Yutai Mingyue, and asked happily: "Childe is also preparing to take the top prize?" ”

Yutai Mingyue raised her glass and said categorically: "No, I don't plan to take the top prize." ”

"Brother Tai is full of economy, wouldn't it be a pity not to take the top prize?" Yumian then asked.

Tantai Mingyue shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Everyone on the street wants to take the top prize, how many can really pass the test?" It's not that they are not knowledgeable, but today, they no longer have the surname Liu, but have changed their surname to Zhang. The Zhang family only recognizes money, how can they recognize talents! ”

What a bright moon in Taitai, insight into world affairs, dare to be angry and dare to speak! Painting Yan was secretly delighted, "The prince of Tantai is really courageous." In this case, has Childe ever thought about which camp to enter? ”

As soon as he met this person, Huayan was thinking about how to recruit him for Liu Che'er.

Tantai Mingyue said without hesitation: "Since I came to Luling, I want to go to the king of Luling." ”

"Second prince Liu Yizhen?" Painting Yan felt a pang in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

She just remembered that Liu Yizhen left Beijing and got the fief of Luling County.
