Qu Jiahui was deeply touched when he heard this, and said Second brother, you are right, you take it a slow, don't go to Jialiang for the time being, I asked Jin'er to find him, he did something wrong, and he needs to take responsibility after all......

This night, Qu Jin put down his body and came to Qu Xiu's courtyard to apologize to Lin Jialiang for his neglect of Lin Jialiang in the early stage, and admit his mistake for this incident......

After he left, Lin Jialiang was very embarrassed, standing in front of the window and looking into the distance for a long time.

Late at night, a piece of clothing was gently draped on his body, and Lin Jialiang turned sideways and saw his wife Qu Xiu.

"Lady, what do you think I should do?"

The third brother left the Qu family with anger, if he pleaded with him, the third brother would not buy it, nor would he not buy it, wouldn't it make him embarrassed?

Qu Xiu smiled lightly: "Husband, you still don't know your uncle very well, every step of your uncle has a purpose, maybe he was waiting for you to speak!" ”

Lin Jialiang was slightly startled......

Qu Xiu said: "The Qu family is facing a predicament and needs to work together, and the previous Qu family was divided into two factions, and before the danger came, they were in chaos first, and such a Qu family had no way to deal with the external crisis." Uncle saw this, so he took Qu Jin and used this incident to promote the unity of the Qu family! ”

Lin Jia's conscience jumped, really?

"Don't you see, in the past two days, how intimate the uncle and his father are? How much respect do Qu Jin and Qu Wu have for us? Qu Xiu said: "Uncle is to be a villain himself, let us be good people, and finally promote the integration of the Qu family." ”

"That'...... Then I'll contact him? ”

"Let's make their memories more profound in a few days, and at the same time, so as not to disrupt my uncle's deployment arrangements......"

……

Qingming Festival, under the West Mountain, although the smoke and rain are misty, it still can't stop the outing of talented and beautiful people from all walks of life.

It must be said that the people in this world are still full of literary and artistic atmosphere in their bones, but anything that has a bit of literary and artistic style is really done regardless of men and women, young and old.

The road in the northwest, leading to Greenwillow Villa, Zhang Haoran and Huo Qi and Li Yangxin came side by side, they didn't just meet, Huo Qi and Li Yangxin originally knew Zhang Haoran, and because they stood in the same camp, they deepened the friendship between the two sides. Two days ago, Huo Qi and Li Yangxin made an appointment to go to the Green Willow Villa, and got together with Zhang Haoran in the villa for two days, and also saw the song "Jiugong Mountain" that Lin Su left in the Green Willow Villa, "A thousand tears on a branch of the bamboo, a hundred flowers and ten thousand heavy clothes in the red glow", these two quatrains through the ages were also carefully engraved by Huo Qi on his flute, playing with it all the time, that is love to the extreme.

"Brother Zhang, do you think he will really come today?" Huo Qi's flute patted gently in the palm of his hand and asked a question that most people would ask.

Yes, Li Yangxin asked.

Three days ago, they made an appointment with Lin Su and went to Xishan during the Qingming Festival, but they didn't expect the turmoil behind to be so big, the road to the palace examination of the five genius students was cut, and they were so anxious to go to the room, whether it was to intercede or negotiate, anyway, the five families were looking for Lin Su, it was said that Lin Su couldn't stay in the Qu family, and he lived in seclusion from home and didn't meet anyone at all, in this case, would he go to the appointment?

It is important to know that the agreement between them is purely for fun and has no real meaning.

Zhang Haoran smiled lightly: "If he didn't plan to come, Hongyan would have told me a long time ago, and since he hadn't told him, he would naturally go to the appointment." ”

Li Yangxin looked around: "If he goes to the appointment, then today's Xishan will probably be very lively, look, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion!" Over there, it's the housekeeper of Zuofu, right? ”

Zhang Haoran smiled faintly: "Why not the Lu Mansion and the Zuo Mansion? The Zhao family and the Zhang family also had people coming, but they were hidden in the shadows, and it was not convenient for them to appear in public. ”

Lin Su cast a net, and there were five big fish in the net, and the situation of these five fish was also different.

The Qu family is the most promising to get out, after all, they are relatives.

The Lu family and the Zuo family are second, because on the surface, the Lu family and the Zuo family have no major contradictions with the Lin family and the Qu family.

The Zhao family and Lin Su have basically torn their faces, and their descendant Zhao Ji is a character who gambles with Lin Su three times in a row. But it's not a life-and-death feud.

And the Zhang family is the real enemy of life and death.

Therefore, Zhang Haoran and the three of them analyzed for two or three days and came to a conclusion that these five people will have different results, Qu Jin, Lu Yujing, and Zuo Chunlang may get out, and the possibility of Zhao Yuanxiong and Zhang Hong getting out is very small.

They were thrilled by the results.

Why? Because Zhao Yuanxiong and Zhang Hong are all very popular "Holy Jinshi candidates" in this temple examination.

Zhao Yuanxiong, the Beijing government will test the Yuan, the Beijing government will test, the gold content is far above the other state tests, and its will Yuan is one step away from the radiant "Shengjinshi".

And Zhang Hong, the dimension of the last Beijing government examination, because of his marriage with the Holy Family, he endured for three years and precipitated for three years, and he was determined to win this Shengjinshi.

Good-looking romance

Such two super popular candidates, who were sniped by Lin Su outside the palace examination in this way, are a "big and happy" thing for everyone in this palace examination.

But it is precisely because these two people are popular candidates for the palace examination that the Zhao and Zhang families will never accept their fate, and will definitely use all kinds of means to play with Lin Su to force Lin Su to release these two people from the "blacklist".

On the official road, there were many carriages, many people came and went, and in an endless stream, about a quarter of an hour, a figure in blue strolled by the side of the road, and in the drizzle and misty, his figure floated out of the dust.

"It's coming!" Huo Qi smiled lightly: "He didn't actually take the carriage, and it seems that the hiding place is not far away." ”

As soon as his voice fell, Lin Su appeared in front of him: "What did Brother Huo say about hiding from him?" Do I need to hide? ”

Zhang Haoran played a round game: "Brother Huo's central meaning is not whether to hide or not, but that he didn't see your carriage, and he was a little suspicious...... Where are your wine and your perfumes hidden? ”

Ha ha......

Lin Su laughed: "You really don't know how to be polite...... Come! One for three, one for each person! ”

Hand together, the three bags were handed to the three of them, and as soon as the three of them opened them, they were all overjoyed, this is the demon storage bag, which contains ten bottles of spring tears, ten altars of white clouds, and they are all grade A, not to mention the things inside, the market price is at least two thousand taels, and the value of this bag alone is more than one hundred taels.

"I'm preparing to visit my mentor tomorrow in the Tribute Academy, and I'm worried that I don't have any good gifts, but now it's okay, a jar of Grade A white clouds, and the master's beard is raised high." Huo Qi smiled happily.

Zhang Haoran smiled: "The happiest person has to be Brother Li, Brother Li Xinghualou has just met a confidante, this spring tears perfume, it is estimated that tonight will become his entrance gift......"

Lin Su smiled: "One of them respects the teacher and the other is affectionate, what about you?" What tricks are you going to play? ”

Zhang Haoran said: "After my palace test, I want to leave the ancient country of Nanyang, I'm afraid this gift is not enough, when the time comes, you will support more?" ”

The ancient country of Nanyang? Why go?

Huo Qi introduced the situation to him, Brother Zhang said a family matter, she was the daughter of a generation of Confucianism in the ancient kingdom of Nanyang, and after the palace exam, he needed to go to the door......

Congratulations! Lin Su said directly: "Hundreds of altars and white clouds, a hundred bottles of spring tears, I will ask them to bring them over the next time they buy them, and when the goods arrive, I will ask the people of the Qu family to send them to you." ”

Zhang Haoran was so surprised, Baitan? A hundred bottles? Are you serious?

Lin Su said: "Brother Huo, Brother Li, the same goes for the two of you, as long as you are married to a wife, tell me, but the ugly words are in front, don't marry a bunch of wives for the sake of ordering wine and perfume......"

Hahahaha, several people laughed at the same time.

On the topic of perfume and wine, the friendship between the four has skyrocketed, and when they first met, they were still first friends, but when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were like old friends.

Lin Su has never liked to call friends, but that doesn't mean he's not good at making friends.

He came from modern society, and he still has emotional intelligence.

He knows who is right to make friends and in what way.

The three people in front of him are like-minded to him, and they are all young and handsome, so they are naturally suitable for friendship, and the forces behind them are not trivial.

He could have brought the gift directly to the Green Willow Villa, but he just asked the people of the Qu family to send it over, and his purpose was even more obvious.

The Qu family may be facing a predicament, and he created conditions for the Qu family to establish contact with these three families, which is also to pave the way for the Qu family.

The Qu family and the Lin family are currently a community of interests, and they can even be regarded as a line of defense for the Lin family in the capital.

These layouts, the three junior-level characters in front of them don't understand, they only have one feeling, that is, this new friend is incomparably bold and magnificent.

They went up to Xishan in the flow of people, and in a simple carriage, three pairs of wonderful eyes were intertwined, it was Xie Xiaoyan, Bi Xuanji and Lu Youwei.

Xie Xiaoyan said: "Xuanji, how many white clouds and spring tears are in that bag?" ”

"Ten jars, ten bottles! Say no! Bi Xuanji said. Although she is also sitting in the carriage, she also seems to have the ability to be like the dark night, and she can accurately perceive the contents through the carriage and the demon clan's hiding bag.

"Is it really a real effort to make such a heavy bet?"

Bi Xuanji's eyes showed a slight hint of thought.

Lu Youwei smiled lightly: "Whether or not to re-bet varies from person to person, and for him, it may not be a heavy bet." ”

Xie Xiaoyan nodded: "This is also true!" I heard that when he sold Baiyunbian wine to Haining Lou, it was only one or two silver per catty, and it was obviously very profitable, and the cost of spring tears was not too high, and what was really valuable was not his wine and his perfume, but his natural talent...... Xuanji, you stare at him, the four talented people are on a spring outing, and there should be new poems and new words coming out today, don't miss it. ”

The carriage started and went up the hill with the flow of people......

The beauty of the West Mountain, it is really indescribable, really one step at a time, pavilions and pavilions are everywhere, peach blossoms open wantonly, bloom on the cliff, open in the valley, open on the hillside, also open on the side of the pavilion, and even on the wall of an ancient pavilion, a peach tree has grown, still blooming.

Lin Su sighed: "This West Mountain is really a bit strange, the mountain is full of peach blossoms, the variety is single, and there are no other flowers, what is the reason?" ”

Zhang Haoran said: "Everyone rumors that it is because there is a peach mother in this mountain, and the peach blossoms in this mountain are actually the children and grandchildren of the peach mother. ”

His fingers lifted, pointing upwards at a blush patch.

Lin Su was taken aback, the direction Zhang Haoran pointed to, a piece of red, like a dense peach forest, this peach forest will be one?

Take a closer look, and it's true!

This peach tree is so big that it occupies an entire hillside, but there is only one main trunk below, and ten people can't hold the main trunk, and the canopy above covers half of the Lingyin Temple behind.

"A forest of solitary trees, a wonder of the world!" Lin Su said: "Go over and take a look!" ”

Soon, they arrived at the bottom of the tree, looked up, the crown above was even more bizarrely large, the highest peach branch, at least a hundred zhang away from the below, the soft peach blossoms, here bloomed the momentum of dominating the world.

"How old is this peach tree? Three thousand years? Two thousand years? More than a thousand years for sure! ”

Zhang Haoran smiled: "Speaking of this peach tree, there is a legend, but no matter how I hear it, it doesn't seem to be true......"

"Legends? Listen to that! Huo Qidao: "The legend of the fairy of Jiugong Mountain descending to earth has achieved Brother Lin's famous story of 'the emperor riding the wind under Cuiwei', let's also listen to the legend, maybe we can also achieve a colorful poem......

Judging from these words, Huo Qi is quite persistent in writing colorful poems.

Zhang Haoran said......

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, the West Mountain is not the beautiful appearance in front of you, it is an ordinary barren mountain, a very ferocious mountain thief fell into the grass here, robbed the passers-by, killed the past merchants, the mountain was full of bones, the river, all the year round was blood, at that time, the country had not yet been established, and it was not the capital over there, and no one could control them, within a radius of thousands of miles, regarded this mountain as a forbidden area.

On a stormy night, a Buddhist temple suddenly fell from the sky and smashed into the base camp of the bandits, and thousands of bandits were stoned to death.

A few months later, a branch of merchants passed by here, only to be surprised to find that the West Mountain, which had not been passed for a few months, had undergone earth-shaking changes, with an ancient Buddhist temple and a huge peach blossom in front of the temple.

Since then, there are no more thieves in the West Mountain, and the peach blossoms are becoming more and more day by day, covering the entire mountain......

Lingyin Temple claims that it is the power of the Buddha who guards this heaven and earth.

Lin Su, Huo Qi, and Li Yangxin laughed dumbly.

Isn't this legend clearly the one used by Buddhists to attract believers? Making up a story to attract people from the world to worship the Buddha is an old trick of Buddhism, and this story is not good at all, and there is no turning point or charm in the dry ......

Zhang Haoran himself smiled: "A thousand years ago, this was just a desolate place, few people came, what the situation was, no one could tell, it was the most suitable to make it up at will." The two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have competed for believers for many years, and they have done everything they can, and it is very likely that they will make up a story to attract believers...... On the other side of this peach tree is an elegant place, and we must not go. ”

What's on the other side?

It is the wonderful land of "flowers and flowing texts".

What is Hualuo Liuwen? Similar to the "Qushui Liuzhen" in the Jin and Tang dynasties of China, a game played between literati, digging a small ditch around the sitting, and placing something like a wine glass upstream, so that the wine glass flowed along the water, and when it came to whom, who could pick it up and drink, and then slowly evolved into another way of literati competition, such as letting the wine glass drift naturally, the person next to it beat the drum, when the drum stopped, the wine glass was closest to whom, who recited a poem - this is the combination of drumming and passing flowers and Qushui Liuzhen.

The literati of ancient times were very good at playing.

And the people of this world are even more able to play.
