The Guanyin Nunnery on the west side of the silver ingot bridge was originally called the Zhenshui Guanyin Nunnery, which was built in the early years of the Chu Dynasty, only because this is the treasure land close to Shichahai, the land of this Guanyin Nunnery is inevitably coveted by the powerful, and it is gradually getting smaller and smaller. In the end, Lin Taiyong, the king of Jin, also took a fancy to this place and bought half of the nunnery to build a Hui Garden.

Although it is not as magnificent as the nearby dignitaries and dignitaries, it is only a pavilion and a pavilion together, but it is better than facing Shichahai on both sides, a lake on the other, and a pavilion with exquisite workmanship on the remaining side. And the small pavilion is opposite the silver ingot bridge, and the pedestrians passing by can see it. In addition, this place is very close to the imperial city, and those literati and artists stood in the small pavilion and looked up at the Banzai Mountain deep in the palace wall, which naturally added to the longing in their hearts.

The king of Jin was generous, and he did not go to this garden often, but allowed the Qing staff and palace officials to drink and feast here. Due to the loose access control, as long as someone brings a hat, and then wears a decent straight jacket can be mixed in, so in every year, there are often countless scholars who sharpen their heads and drill into it. The same was true on this day, when a few doormen swept the guests who entered the garden in twos and threes, and some of them yawned.

"Our Royal Highness is too polite to treat these poor people."

"What do you know, if it weren't for these people to spread by word of mouth, His Highness's reputation for being benevolent and studious, and not being ashamed to ask questions would spread so widely?"

Seeing that the young disciple was not convinced, the older disciple didn't bother to say anything, but just told the rest of the people to cheer up and not to be regarded as snubbing by the visitors. When he saw the mouth of the alley not far away, a rider galloped in, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly reined in his horse, and before the horse could stop, he fell down, but he stood firmly. The man was only twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in a green silk jacket and wearing a dragon scale scarf on his head, and his expression was quite arrogant, so he dropped the reins and walked straight forward.

"Childe, you are ......"

The elder man asked respectfully, and when he saw that the visitor had rushed inside without saying a word, he was stunned, and then he heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping from the other end of the alley. So, when he saw that the young man who had just come out to complain was about to stop people, he immediately stopped people, and when he looked back, he saw that a group of people who seemed to be entourage over there had arrived, and they all came down to take care of the horse that had been abandoned in the middle of the alley, but they were guarding the door and did not enter, and he was suddenly more sure in his heart.

"I don't know which noble man's little son, there used to be this kind of fun, it's not cost-effective to reach out and stop the whip, where can I go back and reason?"

Chen Yan entered the door smoothly with the method that Chen Lan said, and he was immediately relieved when he was a little nervous. Entering the Moon Gate along the road, he saw Confucian scholars talking and chatting, and the people who were in his ears and poems and songs abounded.

The day before, he took Steward Zheng to wait in front of the Jin Palace's gate to observe for a while, and finally knew where Deng Zhong was in the palace book, but at this time, he looked left and right and found that there was no person, and he was immediately a little disappointed. He didn't know anyone here, and he felt both dazzling and bored standing here at this time, so he simply followed what Chen Lan said, walked around the base of the wall, and by the way, pricked up his ears to listen to what these people said, and distinguished the few people he saw yesterday. Relying on these tailwind ears, he heard some words very much, and gradually had some plans for the position he should choose later and various other problems.

"Oh, Deng Dianshu is here"

After a long while, just when Chen Yan was almost impatient, a title suddenly popped into his ears. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice, and saw that the person who came was dressed in azure silk clothes, about early thirties, with a mustache, and a smile on the corner of his mouth. However, thinking of the hope of the old lady in the family and the expectation of his sister Chen Lan, he immediately took a deep breath.

When Deng Zhong was still a few steps away from this side, he suddenly stepped out sideways, just in the way of it. Seeing that the eyes from all directions were suddenly focused on him, he didn't feel nervous anymore, and asked coldly with his head held high: "Zunjia is the Deng Dianshu of the Jin Palace?" ”

There are old and young guests in the garden, but Chen Yan is too young at this age, no matter who thinks of him, so some of the people in the surrounding area have the mentality of watching the excitement, and some are afraid of things and avoid them far away, even Deng Zhong himself, who was blocked by the road, immediately smiled with a good demeanor: "I am Deng Zhong Deng Enming." ”

Chen Yan glanced at the people around him, and suddenly took another step forward: "I thought that the famous Jin Wangfu Deng Dianshu was who he was, it turned out that it was you who looked so sanctimonious I asked you, do you understand loyalty, do you understand filial piety, do you understand husband and wife, do you understand the crime of wanting to add no excuse."

Taking advantage of Deng Zhong's sudden attack on himself and a little confused, he took the opportunity to shout: "The beginning and end of the matter are not clear, so I rashly said that the lord was unjust, and after the truth was revealed, I still didn't go to the throne, what kind of subordinate husband and wife are like you, if there is a crisis, trust each other, and remind each other if there is negligence." If someone else framed you, you, who read the book of saints, know that it is not possible to find a woman to bear the blame."

As soon as these two headless words came out, many people who watched the excitement tasted it, after all, there is no impermeable wall in the world. The two older Qingke saw Deng Zhong's face red and white, and hurriedly stepped forward to reply, one of them even accused Chen Yan of reckless nonsense, but Chen Yan drank it back with a voice: "You still have the face to talk about me?" You can drink and feast here, who are you stained with everyone's light, and who are you supported by everyone's respect, but in case of trouble, who is really for the sake of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, a virtuous and generous person like my eldest sister, but he was calculated by the villain again and again out of thin air, but no one saw through and woke up"

"This little boy, in public, please be careful when you speak."

At this moment, an old man in his early fifties finally stood up. Seeing that Chen Yan was still full of indignation when he heard his words, but he stopped talking, he glanced at Deng Zhong, who was quite embarrassed, and invited Chen Yan aside with his empty hand. After asking three or two sentences, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he learned that it was the son of the Yangning Marquis Mansion and not the person from the Korean Mansion, but after all, he didn't dwell on this issue.

"Although the little prince is a nobleman of the Hou family, he must also know the truth that trouble comes from his mouth, and there is no reason to cause chaos for the Hou Mansion and the Korean Mansion."

"My house is already chaotic enough, no matter how chaotic it is, it can't go anywhere" Chen Yan snorted impatiently, and then said angrily, "If it weren't for the Korean Mansion, my aunt was already angry, and the eldest cousin and sister-in-law were going to serve the sick, today shouldn't be me who came to those people, one on the left and one on the right, I knew that the impeachment of such a noble as our two families was not a drunkard's intention not to drink, but to think that His Royal Highness behind him gave birth to a royal official like Deng Zhong as if he was blind and couldn't see it, and he followed to add fuel to the fire, what kind of loyal minister is this...... In the future, even if he is proud, he will be a white-faced traitor who is just scolding today, and next time I will see him, it will be light to beat him."

Seeing Chen Yan say this, he instinctively rolled up his sleeves, and the old man hurriedly persuaded two more words, but he had a plan in his heart. After all, he was old, and he was speaking reasonably, so he calmed down Chen Yan after a while, and personally sent people to the door. When he turned around, he saw that Deng Zhong was gone, he frowned slightly, and beckoned a young Qingke to come.

"Deng Dian's bookkeeper is gone?"

"I just stood for a while and left...... Tang Lao, is it from the Korean Mansion or the Yangning Hou Mansion? Although this kid spoke angrily, there was some truth in it. ”

"It's the fourth son of the Marquis of Yangning. The martial arts of the bishop of Yixing County, the scriptures and history of Han Mingyijiao, although he is young, he is not an ordinary person, these words seem to be angry, but in fact, he must have learned from somewhere, of course, he should not be underestimated" The old man who was called Tang Lao pondered for a while, and then said to the young Qingke, "You appease the others, I will go to see His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

Chen Yan, who had left Huiyuan, angrily joined up with a few entourages, beat his horse out of the alley, and walked a stone's throw along the street, he rode his horse and stopped, secretly recalling his performance just now. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave with a whip, but his pupils suddenly shrank, and he grabbed the reins and took two steps back.

I don't know when, Deng Zhong, the book of the Jin Palace, who had just been scolded by him, was standing in front of him, and there were a few sturdy men behind him.

"Fourth Master Chen scolded just now, but he was still happy?" Deng Zhong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said word by word, "The ideal of the Tao that comes out of the mouth must be understood by the fourth prince of Chen, and I also want to add a sentence, don't think that if you play such a little trick, the Yangning Marquis Mansion will be able to get away with it, who in the world doesn't know that you noble mansions eat people and don't spit out bones, and you are greedy and shameless to hold money."

"If you want to talk about money, civil officials don't seem to be worse than Xungui, right? As far as I know, when Deng Dianshu was admitted to the Jinshi exam, his family only had a total of 200 acres of paddy fields, and now there are 3 or 4,000 acres and dozens of shops, where did these come from? ”

Chen Yan, who was stunned, suddenly heard this familiar voice from behind him, quickly turned his head, recognized Luo Xu at a glance, and was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly called out to Senior Brother. And Luo Xu just smiled and nodded at him, and then stepped forward unhurriedly, without looking at Deng Zhong's pig-liver-colored face, and said lazily: "Deng Dianshu wants me to report your resume and net worth as an official over the years?" ”

"You ......"

Deng Zhong looked at the few people behind him, thinking that it would not be much good to carry the Weiguo Gong Luo family at this time, so he swallowed this breath vigorously, glared at Luo Xu and Chen Yan viciously, and said sharply: "Don't think you can cover the sky with one hand"

Seeing that Deng Zhong was leaving with someone, Luo Xu suddenly put away his smile: "In this Beijing Division, except for the emperor, no one can cover the sky with one hand, don't think that the emperor is sick, you can make waves"
