Vol.1 There Are Returnees Chapter 26 Tanabata Gathering (1)

It seemed that a century had passed, Qin Zi'an finally came to his senses, his hands still clutching his chest, and the throbbing sensation from his heart prompted him to breathe heavily, like a drowning man.

He hurriedly looked around, and saw that it was not the scenery in his dream, and his eyes became dim.

The sun sank in the western mountains, a twilight fell, and the surroundings were very quiet, but Hong Dan, who was originally next to him, did not know where to go, and his stomach was 'growling' at this time.

"Awake?"

Wuji's voice sounded at the right time, breaking Qin Zi's uneasiness, which came from fear and conjecture.

Hearing the voice, Qin Zi'an stood up and looked directly at the old man: "Don't you explain it to me?" ”

At this time, Qin Zi'an seemed to be a different person, his eyes were indifferent, staring at Wuji very impolitely, although his face was expressionless, his tone was very stiff and strong, like a high king.

Seeing Qin Zi'an get up, Wuji took out a wanted warrant and put it in front of him, and said to himself: "The old man has seen you before, to be precise, he has seen your portrait. ”

Qin Zi'an ignored it, still staring at Wuji tightly.

Wuji's voice paused, and then said: "Don't worry about that cup of tea, you and Hong Dan drank that tea before and called it Tongling, ranking second among the top ten famous teas in this spiritual world, from a legendary tree in the evil capital, only eleven pieces have been produced in hundreds of years, and only three pieces have been left to the outside world, one is in the divine court, one is in the Buddha country, and the last one was drunk by the two of you." ”

Seeing that Wuji was speechless, Qin Zi'an casually took the wanted warrant, and a wooden sword made him squint his eyes slightly.

Because he found that the wooden sword that Chen Hedou was equipped with was exactly the same as the one he bought in Xuanniao City, and three words were written crookedly in the center of the wooden sword - little beggar.

And the person on this portrait is actually the one he once saw on the notice board in Weicheng, the third most wanted criminal in the mainland - Chen Hedou.

A few years ago, this man found Lao Yu with a portrait and asked if he had seen the person on the portrait, but in Lao Yu's opinion, what he was holding in his hand was obviously a blank piece of white paper, and there was no one on it. Over the years, the old man thought that the man was mentally deranged by the dynasty, but he never thought that his realm was not enough to break it. When I saw you this time, the portrait resurfaced in front of my eyes for some reason, but this time, there was a figure on the portrait, and the figure was ninety percent similar to you. ”

"Chen Hedou? Then he didn't say anything to you again? ”

"I didn't say a word, and I drifted away."

Qin Zi'an nodded, he couldn't tell whether what Wuji said was true or false, so he simply didn't ask, lowered his eyes, and crossed his hands.

Then, a black flame ignited in his eyes, but at this moment, Wuji was facing away from him, and he couldn't find it.

After a while, the black flame in Qin Zi'an's eyes was extinguished, his eyes returned to normal, and he glowed again, and he raised his head and asked:

"How do you get out of this place?"

"Ten minutes south will find the way you came."

Wuji replied, and after speaking, he threw a stone to Qin Zi'an.

Qin Zi'an took the stone, turned around and walked towards the south, without looking at the old man again.

Looking at Qin Zi'an's back, Wuji didn't speak for a long time, and kept standing there until the sky turned white.

"It's all fate!" With a sigh, Wuji's figure slowly disappeared.

Qin Zi'an returned to the Zhao Mansion, and Zhang Bing hurriedly greeted him, "Qin Gongzi, you are finally back, it's been two days, if you hadn't ordered before leaving, I wouldn't have reported to the official." ”

"Let Aunt Liu prepare a bowl of porridge for me, and I'll eat it later."

"Yes"

Zhang Bing lifted his leg and wanted to leave, but he took it back and said to Qin Zi'an:

"By the way, Childe, Her Royal Highness the princess came down last night, so you can behave well today."

"Got it"

After Steward Zhang left, Qin Zi'an muttered, "Two days."

Drinking the so-called psychic tea actually made him fall into unconsciousness for two whole days, thinking of that dream-like experience, he frowned and clenched his fists.

At this time, Chaohu Lake was very lively, because of His Royal Highness, Wei Feng held a special event for this meeting, and a Qixi Festival was actually attracting talents from all major prefectures and cities here.

Ma Zhao of Shuntian Mansion, Qiu Feng of Yongping Mansion, and Du Jie of Daimyo Mansion.

Needless to say, these three people are all leaders of the younger generation of the Manchu Dynasty, even outside the Manchu Dynasty, they all have some talents, and they are highly respected even if they are the prime minister of the dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that before the Wenhui began, someone actually saw Luohe in front of Tingyu Pavilion, Luohe, the son of Yin of Fengtianfu Mansion, is definitely a legend of this Manchu Dynasty.

At the age of thirteen, Luohe has already stepped into the ranks of the four products, fifteen years old, a song "Luo Shen Fu" in the entire Daman Dynasty sung in the whole Manchu Dynasty, seventeen years old led three thousand soldiers, thousands of miles to raid the enemy camp, beheaded several enemy generals, including two captains, five thousands, and broke the enemy.

Peers need to lower their eyebrows when they see him, and the scenery is infinite for a while, but for some reason, he has faded out of the eyes of the world in recent years.

A few years ago, Wei Feng also proposed to King Manchu to recruit Luohe as a concubine, and later he was transferred to Chaohu, and that matter was over.

In a study room in Nuan Xiangju, Doga Haravi is holding a book and reading it, the title of which is "The Dissent of the Kingdoms", which is said to have been handed down from the Shang Dynasty and recorded many strange things on this continent.

"Your Highness, it's already unitary time, according to the convention, this Qixi Festival is about to start, when will you get up?" A Wang Wei commander walked up to her and asked quietly.

"Time is so fast, is there any news from the person I asked you to find?"

"The subordinates should be damned, they haven't been traced yet, but yesterday the eagle came with news, saying that there was movement on the Chu side, and it seems to be that person."

Dogaharavi put down the book and rubbed her sore hands.

"Let the Divine Protector cooperate with the eagle, no matter what, I must find that person, and let the Green Commander come to see me when I go back."

"Yes"

Wang Wei slowly retreated.

At this time, in the Zhao Mansion, Qin Zi'an swallowed the last mouthful of porridge, wiped his mouth, and walked in the direction of Tingyu Pavilion, just two steps, suddenly remembered that he had never seen the process of the cultural meeting, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle Zhang, hurry up and tell me about this Qixi cultural meeting." ”

Zhang Bing thought slightly: "Qin Gongzi, generally speaking, many places in the Daman Dynasty will hold literary meetings, but this Qixi cultural meeting will only be held in Chaohu, it will be held once a year, once every three years, the theme is generally Yongyue, occasionally with flowers and birds as the theme, the literary meeting is not limited to genres, but it is basically a seven-word poem, it stands to reason that this year has not yet reached the time of the big event, it may be His Royal Highness, this literary meeting will be so grand." ”

"Who will judge the poetry?"

"The poems and songs made during the literary meeting were first selected by the four Chaohu poets and handed over to the shopkeeper of the Listening Rain Pavilion to sing, and finally the county guard and the four families jointly selected the order."

After chatting for a few words, the two of them had already walked to the front of Tingyu Pavilion, and the crowd in front of them was crowded, but there were many people walking in the opposite direction, walking towards the periphery, on both sides of the street, many vendors were carrying sundries on their shoulders and selling them on both sides.

Qin Zi'an stepped forward and found out the reason for those people's retrograde, it turned out that there was still a fee to enter this Tingyu Pavilion today, except for some people who were invited to hold invitations, and idle people would be charged twenty copper coins when they entered.

You must know that in this world, one hundred and twenty-four copper coins are half a tael, and the annual expenses of ordinary people are only about one tael, and the annual expenses of those who are better off are less than two taels.

And the entrance fee for this cultural meeting is twenty copper coins, how can ordinary people afford it.

Entering the Tingyu Pavilion, the crowd was finally not as crowded as outside, Qin Zi'an hadn't taken two steps, and saw two or three people gathered next to him, talking and laughing, talking about the people who participated in the cultural meeting this time.

Qin Zi'an stepped forward and heard a jade-faced scholar say:

"If you want to say who can win the championship in this Wenhui, in my opinion, it has to be Ma Zhao of Shuntianfu, I heard that the young monarch of Chu State has not happened."

"What Brother Ma Jia said was the court meeting a few days ago?"

"Who would have thought that the dignified young monarch of Chu State would be so unbearable, or why are the talents of the Manchu Dynasty admirable, Ma Zhao's song "Breaking the Array" should be sung for all generations, and that is to win half of the land for my Manchu Dynasty."

"Qiu Feng is not much worse than Ma Zhao, if he hadn't traveled to Qi at that time and met the prime minister of Qi State, maybe the person who participated in the court meeting would have become Qiu Feng."

"The two brothers, let's not talk about that, how are the preparations for this meeting?"

The jade-faced scholar's eyes swept slightly, and he saw Qin Zi'an not far away, and hurriedly changed the topic. The scholar has red lips and white teeth, is dressed in a short shirt, and has a mustache on his chin, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

The two people with him are also well-dressed, and their family backgrounds should be not much different.

One of them, a little older, named Helalian, was fat, and he said with a slight complaint:

"At this time in the past, I already knew what to do, but this time I didn't know anything, so I only prepared three songs, and I don't know if I can use them."

As soon as the words fell, he saw Ma Jia Mudan standing up and arching his hand to him, and Heralencheng was stunned for a moment

"Brother Ma Jia, what do you mean by this?"

Before Ma Jia Mudan could speak, Qin Zi'an hurriedly said: "I just saw a few people talking happily, and I don't want to be surprised when I disturb them." ”

Hearing the voice behind him, Hera Liancheng hurriedly got up, and Ma Jiahua next to him also stood up.

"The Wenhui is about to start, brother and Taiwan?" Ma Jia Mudan hesitated for a moment and invited.

"I can't ask for it"

"In Xia Ma Jia Mudan, this is my brother Helaliancheng on the left, and Ma Jiahua on the right, haven't you asked my brother Taizun's surname?"

"In Xia Qin Zi'an, this is my friend's housekeeper Zhang."

"Butler? Is it the first time for Brother Qin to participate in this Qixi Festival? Ma Jia Mudan tentatively asked.

"How did Brother Ma Jia know? Can't this Tanabata Wenhui bring a housekeeper? Qin Zi'an asked with some confusion.

"Well, it's not really, generally speaking, we will send someone to grab a good position in advance." Ma Jia Mudan touched his nose a little embarrassed.

After walking along the path for a while, you can hear the laughter of a group of girls in front of the rain pavilion like silver bells in the distance, which is also mixed with some meat jokes from the talented people.

The crowd was all gathered in front of the lake, but there were few people on the boat.

Wei Feng, the county guard of Chaohu County, stood at the bow of a boat, followed by six or seven people, all dressed in brocade robes, one of whom was sitting, his face like a star.

"Young master, I said that I won't be allowed to go up, and I will talk about it when His Highness comes down." As soon as Qin Zi'an and the others arrived, someone greeted them.

"Well, just wait."

Na Ma Jia Mudan was also not very particular, took two steps to the side, leaned on a stone and sat down.

He grabbed a weed and bit it in his mouth

"Look, Luohe is here, and this Wenhui will hold a chicken."

Hera Liancheng and Ma Jiahua also lowered their heads in frustration, as long as you have heard of Luohe, no matter how talented you are, you have to lower your arrogant head.

Seeing the appearance of the three people, Qin Zi'an was secretly surprised, what kind of character is this Luohe, seeing this person, the three people in front of him are like frosted eggplants.

Before he could ask, a voice sounded in the distance:

"Your Highness arrives"

Hearing the arrival of His Highness, everyone turned around and made way of the way, and several people on the boat also got off the boat.

"Greetings to Your Highness" Everyone present turned slightly sideways.

With His Royal Highness on board, the Tanabata Festival finally began.
