"Oh, what's going on?"

The old man's face was full of surprise, and he looked at the longbow brocade standing beside him. Although the orchid competition is wonderful, many wealthy families can't let go of their children to participate, and he immediately guessed that only the girl-hearted longbow brocade would do such things.

Sure enough, Longbow Jin grinned and said, "Grandpa, this is a gift from Brother Yu, look at it, isn't it beautiful?"

Everyone present heard that it was the handiwork of Longbow Feather, and they all raised their eyes.

The transparent stone jar is placed on a high platform by two servants of the Longbow Mansion, the stone jar has a unique shape, and there are hundreds of colorful stones dotted below, which are reflected in the sunlight and the entire stone jar is set off vividly.

The orchid above is brightly colored, resembling a flying golden butterfly and a dancing girl. The labial petals of the flowers are usually trilobed, large or small, violin-shaped, with a ridge-like protrusion at the base of the middle lobe, and small raised spots on the ridge, which are quite peculiar.

Zhang Yi chose the quite precious goldendee orchid, floating on the stone jar, like a delicate work of art.

The old man with the longbow was the first to nod and said, "It's really beautiful, Yu'er, you have put a lot of thought into this little girl." ”

Everyone present was amazed, especially the bluegrass merchants on the field, who were completely attracted the moment they saw the "water orchid". If they can cultivate the bluegrass like this, I am afraid that many wealthy ladies will flock to buy it, and they will be able to make a lot of money at that time.

Longbow Rong looked at Shui Lan, his eyebrows full of doubt, he really couldn't imagine that hateful fellow could be so ingenious. Yesterday, Longbow Jin happily introduced the gift sent by Zhang Yi to her, but she didn't listen to it at all, but when she saw it today, it was beyond her expectations.

After the surprise, the wealthy princes and nobles talked to each other and lost interest in all kinds of orchids. No matter how beautiful the bluegrass is, it doesn't appeal to them at all.

If it weren't for the water orchid from Zhang Yi and Longbow Jin, they probably wouldn't have looked at it more.

Soon, the leader of the orchid competition was decided.

Shui Zhonglan won the leader as she wished, and the little girl was very happy, put the garland obtained by the leader on her head, and showed off to Longbow Rong.

Several of the top orchid merchants were overjoyed, and although they didn't win the championship, as long as they won the orchid competition, the orchid business would at least double in the coming year.

The official who announced the results of the orchid competition was quite young, with a brocade robe and jade belt, and looked at Zhang Yidao: "Yu Gongzi really lives up to his reputation, he is so interested in the flowers and plants that these girls like, he can win the championship in one fell swoop." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yi looked at this young man, the position he was originally standing in was behind the third prince Li Shen's fuselage, he must be his lackey, and it was understandable to hit him. It's just that Zhang Yi didn't expect that the dog of the third prince would bite directly in front of so many respected seniors.

Zhang Yi let out an "oh", which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and he slowly spoke: "I met an old gentleman before, and he told me such a paragraph. It is good to deal with those who are virtuous, and it is good to say that they are not as good as themselves. I don't know that his son regards his father, that he doesn't know that his people regard his friends, that he doesn't know that his king regards what he does, and that he doesn't know how his land regards his plants and trees. Therefore, it is said that living with good people, such as entering the room of Zhilan, and not smelling its fragrance for a long time, that is, it will be dissolved with it. and unkind to live inhabited, such as into the abalone, for a long time without smelling its smell, but also with it. The one who hides the Dan is red, and the one who hides the lacquer is black, so that the gentleman must be careful about where he is. ”

"In other words, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black!"

This passage came from the mouth of the master, who could not be seen to be an old gentleman in appearance, but he was the one who lived the longest since the beginning of the world. Zhang Yi recited the words of the master, his eyebrows were unusually respectful, and he didn't look at Li Shenji and the young man, but the words were full of murder.

The young boy is Li Shenji's dog, and in front of so many people, he said that the son of Longbow Mansion was like a woman. Zhang Yi directly opened his mouth to fight back, saying that the young man and Li Shenji were just two stinky salted fish.

Among the people present, there were many people whose status was lower than that of the three princes, and they were silent and did not dare to say much. The heads of wealthy families, representatives of the family, and the elders of the Six Palaces are indeed not under the prince, and most of them are smiling and silent, and do not participate in the arguments between the two parties.

"Okay, Brother Yu, what you said is really good. Long Gongyan, who had never said a word from beginning to end, said the first sentence of the day, and the expression on his face and the clapping hands showed that he extremely agreed with Zhang Yi's words.

Long Gong Yan looked at the young man who took the lead in attacking, and grinned: "Major General Wang is twenty-eight years old, and he is actually a high school person, I'm afraid some can't understand the meaning of Brother Yu's words, so it's better for me to explain it on my behalf." In fact, the meaning of this saying is very simple, businessmen like to get along with people who say good things about themselves, and people in high positions like to get along with people who are not as good as themselves. If you don't know the son, look at his father, if you don't know the man, look at his friends, if you don't know the monarch, look at his subordinates, if you don't know the land, look at the plants and trees that grow on it. ”

"Therefore, associating with someone of good character is like entering a room full of fragrant orchids, and after a long time you will not be able to smell the fragrance of orchids, because you are one with the fragrance. Associating with people with bad character is like entering a warehouse full of stinky salted fish, and over time you won't be able to smell the smell of salted fish, which is also because you are one with the smell. What cinnabar contains must be red, and what ink lacquer contains must also be black, so a gentleman must choose friends carefully. ”

"I don't know General Wang, do you understand?"

Longbow Yan glanced slightly drunken at the young man on the side.

The father of the young son was General Wang, who was quite prestigious in the court. It's a pity that General Wang has suffered several big losses under the command of the Tianchen Army.

The wicked man that even Lao Tzu is afraid of, how can General Wang Shao not be afraid, his head nodded again and again, bowed down and said: "Wang Tong knows, thank you for the teachings of Young Master Yan." ”

"Oh?"

Li Shenji got up slowly, looked at Longbow Yan and Zhang Yi, learned from Zhang Yi's appearance, and asked softly: "Then what Gongzi Yiyan said, what Gongzi Yu means is, seeing that this king is so unsuccessful, does it mean that the father and the emperor are also unsuccessful?"

Longbow Yan smiled silently.

Zhang Yi's face was full of surprise, and he said curiously: "Why did the third prince say that His Majesty is not a weapon?" Even if the eldest brother ridiculed the young general a few words, I don't know how to get involved with the third prince?"

"And on the occasion of this grand event of the Orchid Competition, it is really inappropriate for the three princes to talk about the conduct of the Son of Heaven in front of so many royal relatives and relatives. ”

After saying that, Zhang Yi shook his head slightly, sighed softly, and turned his head.

Li Shenji frowned and shut up. Zhang Yi's words are heart-wrenching, if he talks more, the brothers next to him are afraid that they will stab themselves a few more times.

......

The bickering thing is like a ripple in the water, and it disappears without a trace when it is blown by the wind. Not long after the bigwigs talked freely at the Orchid Club, the juniors standing behind them also gathered in groups, taking advantage of this opportunity, maybe they could make the young masters and young ladies of several families tie the knot.

Zhang Yi has no interest in such things, but there are several wealthy family heads who are full of interest in him. Several old men pulled the longbow and asked if his grandson needed a beautiful wife?

"I can't be the master of such things, even the highest-ranking little princess in Nandu he doesn't fancy it, what should I do?" The old man Longbow's words were very prevaricating, but the look on his face was extremely proud.

Several old men with extremely high status were even more reluctant to give up when they heard this, Princess Fuliu, the Holy Maiden of Fuyun Heavenly Palace, these identities are not much worse than the goddesses of the family. If his granddaughter can really marry this kid, it will be really long-faced.

Before the orchid meeting was over, Longbow Yan turned and left. When he left, he leaned in front of Zhang Yi and whispered: "It turns out that you are my distant cousin, seriously, if you want to sell that stupid bear to me, right?"

Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and pretended not to hear Long Gongyan's words...... The stupid bear didn't know where it had gone, and it didn't show up for four or five days.

Longbow Rong pulled the longbow brocade and chatted with a few wealthy ladies, laughing and laughing, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Yi looked at the elder Zuo Ge who was sitting upright, stepped forward, and said, "Mr. Zuo, there is a reluctant request below, I don't know if Mr. can agree?"

Zuo Ge Lao squinted his eyes and grinned: "Little guy, look at a few wealthy ladies over there, they are all peeking at you, why don't you go to them and come to me for this bad old man?"

Zhang Yi was embarrassed when he heard this, coughed lightly twice to relieve the dilemma, and said with a smile: "The kid has been studying Zuo Chong Da Confucian's "Hundred Kingdoms Fu" recently, and there are many places that I don't understand, I don't know if there is a chance to go to Mr. 's mansion and watch the first original work written by Da Confucian himself?"

With "The Fu of the Hundred Kingdoms", Zuo Chong went from Jinshi to Confucianism overnight, which amazed countless people. Zhang Yi has been reading "Hundred Kingdoms Fu" for many days, and the more he looks at it, the more confused he becomes.

Zuo Ge Lao smiled slightly and said, "I see, I just heard the old man with a longbow say that you love to read and are good at reading, but I still don't believe it." Now I have to believe it. It's a pity that the "Hundred Kingdoms Fu" handwritten by the ancestors is not in Zuofu, but in the Hanlin Academy, if you are interested, it is better to go to the Hanlin Academy to find out. ”

"Thank you, sir. Zhang Yi bowed and thanked him.

Zuo Ge Lao waved his hand, waved him closer, and grinned: "Little guy, in fact, I think that several young ladies from Dongfang Mansion and Beihai Mansion are good, you can really consider it, it is not good to study to death, there is a ****** to accompany you, and studying and practicing can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"If it weren't for the old man, I wouldn't have a granddaughter, and I'd have taken you back to my house by following those old guys. By the way, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven after all, and you try not to conflict with the Three Princes. ”

Hearing ******, Zhang Yi was still a little embarrassed, but when he heard the words of the elder Zuo Ge admonishing him later, he couldn't help but thank the old man again for his kindness, saying that he would pay attention to these things.

It's just that the first book of a god work such as "The Fu of a Hundred Kingdoms" is countless times more valuable than the articles that have been passed down to the world, and it is not even under many great Confucian treasures, why did Zuofu hand it over to the imperial court?

Zhang Yibai was puzzled. (To be continued.) )
