When the news of a new noble person in the palace came, Shen Xingwan was combing and preparing to go out.

"I heard that the newly sealed talents are even favored." Banxia told her the gossip in the palace on the side.

Shen Xingwan is dressed very elegantly today, and today she is going to Fusang Guan, the most popular among literati.

She was too conspicuous to go as a girl, so she also specially pulled Shen Mochen.

Shen Mochen happened to have an appointment with a friend over there, so he agreed.

"Fusang Guan recently invited a famous troupe from the south of the Yangtze River to come over, so it was very lively." Shen Mochen said, "Compared with the drama in Jiangnan, it has a different flavor than the drama in Beijing. ”

Shen Xingwan glanced at Shen Mochen, "It turns out that you like to watch dramas?" ”

"Let's have some fun." Shen Mochen shook his fan, "The environment over there is good, and there are many noble children and powerful people who come and go, so there are naturally many scholars." ”

There were several literati who began to rise to fame from Fusokan, and then took advantage of the powerful.

The two of them discussed the gossip of the Fusang Pavilion all the way to pass the time, and it was noon when they arrived at the Fusang Tube.

The entire Fuso Pavilion is very large, and it is divided into several areas according to the theme.

The carriage of the two entered through the south gate.

As soon as I entered, there was a maid waiting, "Childe and girl, please come with the slave." ”

The two walked in the winding corridor for a while, and then ran into Lu Chuan head-on at the corner.

Both sides were stunned for a moment.

Lu Chuan quickly greeted Shen Mochen with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet here." ”

The two can be regarded as in-laws, Shen Mochen is the champion of the new officialdom, and Lu Chuan is the brother of the powerful, and there are not many intersections.

Shen Mochen smiled lightly, "Is the prince coming over for dinner?" ”

"Come and see the drama of the South." Lu Chuan was calm.

Shen Xingwan is a girl, and Lu Chuan is not good at talking casually out of politeness.

Shen Xingwan listened to the scene between the two, and looked at Lang Jun on the side without a trace.

It was the day I met at the pier.

It is not an accident that they will meet here when Shen Xing will come to the party.

The boss behind the Fusang Pavilion is Qin Xuejian, and Shen Xingwan knew that Lu Chuan had booked a place here, so he deliberately chose to come today.

Lang Jun in Tsing Yi had a face like a spring flower, standing there coldly, it was difficult not to attract attention.

Shen Mochen and Lu Chuan exchanged pleasantries and glanced at them casually.

Immediately stunned, he didn't retract his gaze for a long time.

Lu Chuan frowned in displeasure, and subconsciously wanted to turn sideways to block Tsing Yi Langjun.

Shen Mochen said uncertainly, "You are Ji Li." ”

Qingyi Langjun probably didn't expect Shen Mochen to call out his name, and looked at him with a suspicious face.

"It seems that Brother Ji really doesn't remember me." Shen Mochen said with a smile.

"You know?" Lu Chuan asked.

"About three or four years ago, Brother Lu once accompanied Qin Daru to visit friends in Jiangnan." Shen Mochen said.

It was his mentor who visited, and Shen Mochen accompanied Ji Li to play in Jiangnan for a few days at that time.

So even though time has passed, things are wrong, he still recognizes Ji Li at a glance.

The expression on Ji Li's face froze for a moment, and he muttered, "It turned out to be you..."

didn't see the joy of his old friend, and his face became a little whiter.

There was some silence for a while.

Shen Xingwan coughed lightly and glanced at Shen Mochen.

Shen Mochen immediately said, "Meeting is fate, Brother Ji will go have a drink together." ”

When they first met in Jiangnan, both of them were high-spirited young men.

Later, Shen Chen's mother, who depended on him for his life, died, and he was silent for three years of filial piety.

Ji Li's mentor Qin Daru died suddenly, and Shen Mochen hadn't heard from him.

Lu Chuan glanced at Ji Li's really ugly face, and said, "We've eaten, so let's not bother and wait for next time..."

"It's okay, if it's Brother Shen, of course I have to have a drink." Ji Li spoke in a cold and firm tone.

Lu Chuan didn't say anything in front of them, although a look of displeasure flashed on his face.

The four of them walked into a small private room that had been pre-booked, and from this position they could see the stage in the courtyard from upstairs.

Shen Xingwan stretched out his hand to push open the window, and the delicate and moving opera sound came out.

Shen Xingwan sat by the window and ate quietly, barely talking.

Shen Mochen had already personally poured wine for Lu Chuan and Ji Li.

"Back then, the teacher once said that everyone said that I was a young genius, but compared with Brother Ji, I had a little less aura." Shen Mochen raised his glass, "Why didn't Brother Ji go to the imperial examination." ”

His teacher once said that the two of them met in the examination room at night, and it was really hard to say who won and who lost.

It's a pity that in that Spring Festival, the two of them had a Jiangnan Jieyuan and a Jiangling Jieyuan, and no one participated.

Ji Li raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, his eyes full of bitterness.

Those pasts, to him, seem to be distant as the bullet things of the elders.

"My hands are useless, I can't write." Ji Li chuckled, "I can't pass the exam in my life." ”

Lu Chuan took the wine glass in his hand, "You are not well, drink less." ”

Ji Li sneered, "Don't I even have the freedom to drink a glass of wine now?" ”

Lu Chuan's eyes were immediately filled with anger, but because Shen Xingwan and Shen Mochen were looking at them with a surprised expression, they had to hold back.

Shen Xingwan's foot under the table kicked Shen Mochen.

Shen Mochen immediately said, "Shizi and Brother Ji seem to be very familiar. ”

Lu Chuan said, "When I went to Jiangling to do business, I was attacked, and Ji Gongzi was kind to me. ”

Shen Mochen showed his original look, "This is really fate." ”

Ji Li on the side lowered his eyes sarcastically.

Shen Xingwan smiled and relieved the siege, and asked the maid to put on a Gu rescue soup, "I don't know that Ji Gongzi is not feeling well, this soup will be much more comfortable after drinking." ”

Ji Li said softly, "I'm fine, it's rare to meet an old person, of course I have to drink enough." ”

As he spoke, he took a new glass and drank it.

Lu Chuan didn't stop him in the end, and looked at him with a cold face.

In the end, Ji Li fell drunk on the table, and Shen Mochen was still sober except for his blushing a little.

"Brother Ji doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

Lu Chuan didn't answer, but just put on a windbreaker for Ji Li.

poured a cup of rescue soup and tried to feed Ji Li, but Ji Li waved his hand and knocked it over.

Shen Xingwan clearly saw that the green tendons on Lu Chuan's forehead jumped, and he didn't get angry in the end.

In the lights that were clearly extinguished, Shen Xingwan looked at Ji Li, three points cold, five points drunk face.

I remembered the investigation materials sent from Gangneung.

"Ji Li, the son of Jiangling, was born in a scholarly family, became famous at a young age, his color is like a spring flower, and everyone says that the son is really stunning..."

In just a few sentences, it is not difficult to see that Ji Li was a promising young man back then.

When he finally walked out of the private room, Ji Li was already a little sober, and stubbornly refused Lu Chuan to help him.

I walked a short distance and almost fell.

Shen Xingwan hurriedly supported him, "Childe be careful." ”

Under the cover of the wide sleeves, Shen Xingwan stuffed a note into his palm.

Ji Li froze for a moment, and quickly took it casually.

Lu Chuan immediately supported him strongly, "I'll come." ”

Shen Xingwan let go.

In the night, they got into the carriage and said goodbye home.
