Many people had planned to stay all night on the three days of the Shangyuan Festival, but in the end, they were so sleepy that they went home early.

Du Zhai, seeing that the main family came back, the porter hurriedly greeted him.

"Ah Lang is back, it's not time yet, right?"

"After the sub-hour, the Shangyuan Festival has passed, and it is no fun to go shopping again." Du Youlin endured a yawn and ordered, "Bring a few side dishes, and I will have two cups with Xue Xiaolang." ”

The three of them bought some wine, osmanthus drinks, and some snacks at the night market, and sat down in the backyard garden, facing the round moon.

Lu Fengniang was also on the table, and she talked about those things when she opened her mouth.

"Xue Bai, you and Wulang have reached the age of marriage, and the children of the family have to teach jokes when they get married late, you will go to the imperial examination after you get married, otherwise you will be arrested for your son-in-law......"

"A woman's opinion." Du Youlin interrupted her impatiently, "If you let them get married early, how can you still have the heart to study in your studies?" ”

That is what happened, Lu Fengniang firmly refuted her husband-in-law, and said: "Start a family, start a family first, then start a business, get married as soon as possible, and make up your mind in a year or two before you can prepare for the imperial examination." ”

Du Youlin said lightly: "It doesn't take a year or two, they can all be on the list next year." ”

"Really? Can you win in one game?! Lu Fengniang was surprised, "Sixteen or seventeen-year-old Jinshi, I haven't had one in the Tang Dynasty yet, right?" Have it? Pimp. ”

"It's all arranged." Du Youlin didn't know if there was any, Yun Danfeng waved his hand lightly, "If it weren't for that, how could I allow Gorou to be so presumptuous recently?" ”

Xue Bai smiled, and said in his heart that Du Youlin usually doesn't say anything to his wife.

Now is the time when he needs to network the most, and marriage is an important means, and there are in-laws to help each other through this most difficult time. But because of this, we must be more cautious......

Lu Fengniang was still smiling, and the Du family sisters and brothers also came back from Fengwei Building.

Tonight's beautiful scenery, it is rare for the family to sit together and drink.

"This official is really not good." Du Wulang said: "Let's just say that today's Wang Langzhong is entertaining during the day and having a banquet at night." When he arrived, he had to rush to the royal banquet in Xingqing Palace and accompany His Majesty to sprinkle money. ”

Xue Bai listened, and there was a sentence in his head, but he didn't say it.

-- As long as Li Longji saves the time to deal with state affairs and sleeps, and then pulls the officials who are ready to rest to have fun, he can make everyone think that he is not old.

Anyway, this saint is extremely smart, and the hundred officials thought that he had done a conspiracy case in half a night, but in fact, he didn't use it for half an hour.

If he has deceived others a lot, maybe even he can believe that he is immortal.

The topic chatted and chatted, and finally talked about Xue Bai's life experience.

"What?! You're moving out?! ”

Du Wulang stood up suddenly, his face full of reluctance, and said, "When I'm done with this while, I'll accompany you well." ”

Xue Bai said: "I have to go home after all." ”

"Don't worry, you have a chance to accompany him." Du Youlin said: "I have entrusted someone to arrange for you to go to the Guozijian. To participate in next year's Spring Festival, in short, there are two ways. Or take the autumn examination in each state and county and become a 'township tribute', or enter the Guozijian and pass the annual examination to become a 'disciple', and you will take the road of apprenticeship. ”

Guozijian is not so easy to enter, at least he has to be a five-grade official at home.

Although Du Youlin had five grades before, he was only a fictitious position, and he failed to arrange Du Wulang into the national prison at all.

His eldest son and second son also participated in the Jingzhao Mansion's examination, respectively Jinshi and Ming Jing Jinshi, and originally did not hope that the giftless Gorou would be able to enter the imperial examination, thinking that the prince would have a door shade when he ascended the throne.

Lu Fengniang was pleasantly surprised when she heard this, and praised: "Lang Jun, this is really ...... Don't be detained by the hypocrisy of the good praise doctor, only to show your ability! ”

Du Youlin was rarely ashamed, glanced at Du Yan, and saw that this daughter was in a daze.

"National ...... Sub-supervisor ......"

Du Wulang was like a thunderbolt, and he couldn't believe that Shangyuan Festival would get such two bad news.

"Hahaha." Du Youlin laughed heartily, raised his glass and said: "Xue Bai, the old man has a fate with you, and he is reluctant to part, and he wants to recognize you as a righteous son. ”

This is the way he promised Lu Fengniang to take care of the back house, there were slaves in the past, and it was inconvenient to mention it.

Now that he saw that Xue Bai was going to move away, he had to hurry up. There are some things that the woman doesn't know, but he probably knows Xue Bai's ability and his protection of the Du Mansion.

There is not much that Du Zhai can give, except for Qinglan's deed, there is only the determination to be tightly tied together when he is down.

took advantage of Xue Bai, and in the future, Xue Bai was convicted for offending Li Linfu, and his Du family could not escape.

When Xue Bai heard this, he immediately picked up the wine jug, replaced the osmanthus drink in the cup with wine, held the cup in both hands, and stood up.

In this unfamiliar Tianbao Datang, he needs connections that can trust each other too much, Du Youlin is weak, but there is Jingzhao Du behind him.

However, as soon as he stood up, a slender jade hand reached out to his eyes and took the wine glass in his hand.

"Two drinks and you're going to get drunk again."

Du Yan said, turned her head to Du Youlin and said: "Grandpa is confused, someone only fought for the son in front of the emperor last night, is Grandpa going to recognize the righteous son tonight?" ”

"The old man has his own considerations."

"My daughter was a little windy and uncomfortable, so I had to retire."

Du Yan put the cup in her hand on the table, said ten thousand blessings, turned around and went back to the room first.

Du Youlin saw that his daughter was not very happy, and was quite embarrassed, so he sat down.

"The matter of recognizing relatives, don't rush for a while, let's talk about it later."

Du Cheng said softly, poured the wine in Xue Bai's cup into her own cup, and poured him a cup of osmanthus drink.

"Erniang is for your good, don't go to your heart."

"I know."

Xue Bai took the osmanthus and took a sip.

Du Cheng also took a sip of wine in the glass, her eyes lowered, and she felt a little strange in her heart, but she felt that she was so much older than him, so she shouldn't be so worried.

Everyone sat down for a while, did not mention the matter of recognizing the righteous son, and lost the atmosphere of the square talent, and dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

~~

"Do you know why the second sister is unhappy?"

Du Wulang and Xue Bai walked through the verandah, and after asking in a whisper, they answered.

"You didn't see that, did you? My mother wants to see the daughter of the Lu family for you, but the second sister is not familiar with the Lu family, but it doesn't matter, they will be fine in a few days. The main thing is that I can't bear you, so why don't you stay for a few more days? ”

"Okay."

"Really?" Du Wulang said: "Actually, I know what they are thinking, it would be nice if A-Niang had another sister, how good it would be for you to be my brother-in-law." Everyone wants you to be close to our family. ”

"Don't think about it useless, you are going to enter the country's prison."

"Don't spoil the fun."

While talking, they walked to the porch of the main courtyard, and the two dispersed and went back to their rooms.

Xue Bai pushed open the door of the house, but saw Qinglan sitting in front of the window sewing a cloth bag.

"Lang Jun is back, I have prepared hot water, can I bring it to you?"

"Washed. I turned around and broke my eyes, so I'll sew it again tomorrow. ”

"Fifteen moons, you can see clearly. I'm sewing the baggage, it's easy to use when moving, Lang Jun, you see, there are a lot of things to bring......"

Xue Bai came alone, thinking that he had nothing to do, but at this time, he looked at the little girl's fingers and found that there were many things in just over two months.

Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, more than 20 books, and a variety of daily necessities. The two stones on the ground also had to be taken away for physical fitness, and it was not easy to find one to take advantage of.

only said that this New Year's Festival, Lu Fengniang sent three sets of clothes; Du Cheng took two pairs of boots with her own hands; Du Yan gave a rather valuable belt, saying that this kind of sheepskin belt was tightly tied; Many useless ornaments sent by Du Goro; There is still half a basket of eggs left in Tian Shenyu; Yang Zhao didn't forget to send a pen holder, engraved with the words "Feihuang Tengda......

"There's no hurry to move." Xue Bai said: "You can clean up slowly, help me put away these few words, and go to rest." ”

"Lang Jun, the moonlight is too bright tonight, I'll help you hang the curtain, and pull it up when you fall asleep in a while. Well, I listened to you today, but you didn't work in the house. At night, I invited the maidservants in the house to look at the lanterns together, buy fabrics and eat food and come back, talking in the courtyard, Caiyun can envy me, it's just too idle......"

"Then our itinerary is about the same, but the osmanthus drink I bought is too sweet. When you get to the Xue Mansion, you don't have to work for others. ”

Since Qinglan wanted to talk, Xue Bai should also respond.

"It's too easy to take care of Lang Jun's daily life alone, then in the future, you will definitely be clean every day, eat on time, and live comfortably."

"Don't expect too much from the life of Xue Zhai, it's quite depressed over there, and there is no separate room."

"It doesn't matter, I can endure hardship, especially hardship."

"I know."

Qing Lan glanced up and couldn't help but recall the experience of the two in the suburbs of Chang'an.

"Lang Jun, have I gone back to the back yard to rest?"

"Go ahead."

Xue Bai watched her retreat, thinking that it was okay to go to Xue's house to sleep in the bunk by herself, but it would be very inconvenient to take a little girl with her...... She was indeed young.

Picked up Yan Zhenqing's words, looked at the moonlight, and then closed his eyes to experience the meaning in the words, and felt that the calligraphy was a little beneficial, so he closed the window, went to the couch, and pulled up the curtain.

The bedding has been changed.

Xue Bai remembered something, stretched out his hand to probe, the spring shirt was no longer there, and he didn't know where to hang it.

He smiled bitterly, lay down under the covers, and fell into a deep sleep.

In spring, the moon is full at night, and a round of white jade plates hangs high in the blue sky......

~~

I had another dream that night.

In the dream, it is the bustling lamp market of Chang'an, and the women of the Tang Dynasty are very good at dressing up, and the color silk is tied to the chest, and the beauty of the uniform flesh and bones will be fully revealed.

Skirts tend to be bloated when they are tied high, so they put their hands around their waists, which is not only dignified, but also can outline the slender figure. The color practice wrapped in the arm adds a bit of fairy energy, and the dance is wonderful.

They smiled and groaned, and Xue Bai stood there watching like a tourist, smelling a faint fragrance.

"Xue Bai, I have something to ask you."

He turned around under the lamp tree, and the first thing he saw was a pair of eyes full of admiration, full of autumn water, so he reached out and grabbed her.

These days, he is actually distressed by this too youthful body, which always gives him an urge to have nowhere to put it.

All along, the soaring vitality has been suppressed in the uneasiness of a foreign land, but only at this time, her softness and thoughtfulness make him feel at ease.

"Hmmm......"

A muffled snort sounded in my ears.

Xue Bai woke up in a trance, the curtain was dark, and his arms were soft.

This time, isn't it a dream?

He felt the woman in his arms tremble slightly, and then came up with some greed.

You don't need to dance your waist like those orchids, you don't need to scratch your head like those famous prostitutes. It was dark in front of him, but he could feel her intense love, which alone could make people emotional.

Is it Qinglan?

He wanted to ask her, but couldn't.

I couldn't even breathe well, as if I was drunk.

She was wrapped in a thick cloak with a long soft skirt underneath......

It's not Qinglan.

With only one thing in his mind, he gradually became unable to continue thinking.

Subsequently, he finally integrated into this prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

“……”

The golden wind and jade dew are in front of the autumn grass window at the beginning of the cool night. Sleep lightly. A pillow of river wind dreams do not come true......

~~

In the corner of the courtyard, there is still snow that has not melted.

A plum plant blooms lonely in the night, and as the night fog thickens, the dew condensed on the plum grows heavier and heavier, and finally drips down into the snow.

~~

Finally, the moon sets and the sun rises, and the night passes, and the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant.

"Lang Jun, you've been asleep for a long time."

Xue Bai opened his eyes and saw Qinglan first.

He didn't pay much attention to the little girl's appearance before, but at this time he found out that she was very beautiful, the new moon was dizzy, and the little jasper.

"How are you?"

"Naturally, it's me, call Lang Jun to get up and eat."

Xue Bai stood up, still yawning.

"The bedding is too thick, is Lang Jun sweating at night? I'll take it out and bask in the ......."

Qinglan helped him up, enthusiastically busy with today's housework, and had the demeanor of the Xue family's maid.

She has already bought food on the case, including Hu cakes, cheese, eggs, meat slices, etc., and she already understands Xue Bai's taste very well.

Du Wulang hadn't even gone to Fengwei Building today, so he passed by the door of the house and yawned.

"Where in your house has it creaked all night?"

"The window is loose, and the wind will make a sound."

"Oh." Du Wulang rubbed his eyes and left.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Breakfast at home is not delicious, I'll go to Fengwei Building to eat."

Xue Bai looked out of the door of the house and saw that the Du family sisters were coming out of the backyard.

He knew that it could only be one of them last night, so he took a closer look.

In order to facilitate their work, they all wore robes, and they wrapped a cloak outside for fear of the cold on the road. It's not that women deliberately dress up as men, this is a common attire for Datang women.

Du Cheng looked thinner, because she had eaten less over the years and was emaciated, but she was not thin, and her figure was still very good; Du Yan is just in shape and likes to wear gorgeous clothes, so she looks full of color.

Both of them also didn't sleep well, and after Du Yan raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned a little, Du Yan also had the same action.

When they were far away, they didn't look back at him.

Xue Bai couldn't tell the difference after all, and when he thought about it again, he secretly said in his heart, in fact, it was better to not know, so he regarded it as a dream.

After breakfast, picking up a pen and practicing calligraphy, the things of the night could not be dispersed after all, and he actually felt that poetry floated up.

"A night of spring breeze Revlon, heavy curtains do not see Ling Bobu."

Before he had time to check the rhyme, he remembered that Li Bai had written the sentence "The spring breeze blows Revlon", shook his head, peeled off his broken poem, and wrote another poem by Bai Juyi, which was the right to practice calligraphy.
