Chapter 15: The First Talent?
In the early morning, Su Yang pushed the window to look outside, only to see Yunsheng in the northwest, fog lock in the southeast, the sky and the earth are vast, faintly, you can also see the boats passing through the West Lake, as well as the shadow of the small Yingzhou.
"Uncle. ”
Mei Xiang shouted outside, Su Yang also pushed the door open, and saw Mei Xiang wearing a pink shirt, dressed as a delicate maid, with a white silk silk hanging around her waist, it seemed to be delicate and pleasant, when she heard Su Yang come out, Jin Se pushed the door out of the room, at this time Jin Se wore an elegant and light clothes, no rouge, no lead, hair like a man in a bun, holding a folding fan in his hand, leisurely and elegant calmly.
Even if it is men's clothing, it is also a treasure of light, standing on the side, it is also fragrant.
Su Yang looked at Jin Se like this, dumbfounded.
"Brother Su, why are you so surprised?"
Jin Se unfolded the folding fan in his hand, looked at Su Yang and asked indifferently.
"Brother Xue......"
Su Yang looked at Jin Se in front of him, saw a flat one, and asked, "Where is my baby?"
Jin Se followed Su Yang's gaze, and then fell on his body, his angry willow eyebrows were upside down, and he hit Su Yang with a folding fan in his hand, Su Yang laughed, stretched out his hand to hold Jin Se's waist, and the two of them hugged each other and walked outside.
Today is the day of the Hangzhou Cultural Conference, Su Yang and Jin Se both got up early, and they wanted to get on the boat prepared by Old Man Liang for the two of them, and head towards Xiaoyingzhou in the middle of the West Lake.
It is said that the governor of Hangzhou in order to hold this cultural meeting, killed a hundred pigs and sheep in Hangzhou, and invited the scribes from all over the world, and before the cultural meeting was launched, there was a special troupe in Xiaoyingzhou, performing acrobatics and so on, so the West Lake is very lively today.
The two were about to go out, and Su Yang saw Mei Xiang standing behind him, frowning and frowning, and said with a smile: "Mei Xiang, you should come along." ”
When Mei Xiang heard this, her face was full of joy, she reached out and lifted her skirt, and hurriedly ran up.
Jin Se glanced at Mei Xiang lightly, and the folding fan in his hand was unfolded, naturally distancing himself from Su Yang.
"Let's lock the door today. ”
Su Yang put two paper figures behind the door, took the lock in his hand, and locked the door.
With this paper man guarding the door, he is not afraid of thieves at home.
Old Man Liang had prepared a boat early and waited on the edge of the West Lake, and the person guarding the boat was Ding Apeng, who was in Master Liang's house, next to this boat, there was also a boat, in which Master Liang was sitting, and when he saw Su Yang coming out, Old Man Liang took out the post and said: "Brother Su, you go to the hall of Xiaoyingzhou for a while, and when you arrive, I will take you inside." ”
Old man Liang still has to wait for someone, and the third son in his family will also take the exam in Qiuqiu, and in this literary meeting, Su Yang can go to the literary meeting to join in the fun, which is the post that his third son made in it.
Su Yang nodded and said, "We'll take the first step." As he spoke, Su Yang held the pulp in his hand, paddled lightly in the water, and the boat rippled, and it was already floating on the West Lake.
rowing, Su Yang also happens to know.
Jin Se sat in the boat and swayed leisurely, looking around, all of them were faint and indistinguishable, but on the boat, fluttering had a sense of emptiness.
Su Yang held the oar in his hand, made good use of the water potential, and gently fluttered a few strokes, this small boat was like an arrow towards Xiaoyingzhou, and many boats naturally passed on the way, until it approached Xiaoyingzhou, the boats were dense, and Su Yang slowed down.
"It's a pity. ”
Jin Se looked at Su Yang and said, "This water scene along the way, I jumped over, and I haven't enjoyed it carefully. ”
"Naturally, you have time to play. ”
Su Yang said with a smile: "We have to find a place to park the boat and borrow a boat, but there is this inconvenience, if it is later, it will be difficult to enter it." ”
Mei Xiang looked from afar, saw that there were soldiers inside, and there were warships outside, and asked, "With these soldiers dispatched, there shouldn't be chaos here." ”
Su Yang laughed to himself and said, "Have you ever heard the words that this tribute is not a class?"
Mei Xiang, as the little maid of the Wheel Palace, knows a lot about Yin Si, and she really doesn't know much about this Yang world, so she blinked and looked at Su Yang.
"The most difficult thing in the world is to lift people, and the Gentiles, if there is one thing to be added, it is camels. ”
Su Yang said with a smile: "When the people who pay tribute face the emperor, they all want to go forward and hug each other, wanting to see what the emperor looks like, so there are people standing in front of him, and there are people in the back holding in groups, so every time he meets the emperor, he will inevitably be connected together, and it is difficult to be neat." ”
When the rowing boat reached the front, Su Yang handed over the post, and said to Mei Xiang: "This year is the year of Dabi, and the Shizi invited by the governor of Hangzhou has many meritorious names, preparing for the autumn and spring to make 90,000 winds, and all the nostrils are in the sky, how can they listen to the soldiers outside to celebrate the festival? Not to mention that this is coming by boat, who doesn't have much money at home?"
There are people who watch the excitement and some people who participate in the cultural meeting, Su Yang felt outrageous when he knew that the address of the cultural meeting was chosen in Xiaoyingzhou, it was just spread out on the land, and it was arranged on this small island, if there were too many people, it would inevitably cause trouble.
Su Yang came early, docked the boat, got off the boat with Jin Se Meixiang, and walked towards the room that Old Man Liang had set earlier.
Xiaoyingzhou is an artificial island in the middle of the West Lake, after the construction is completed, it forms a whole "Tian" character, which is the release pond, and the border of the Tian character is where the island is.
"What's going on over there?"
Mei Xiang looked at the other side of Yingzhou Lake Island, where there were several boats, and the people over there were carrying things, and asked suspiciously.
"Fireworks. ”
Su Yang saw it clearly at a glance, listened to it again, and said: "The people over there said that these fireworks were ordered by Governor Gu, and when the meeting ended, they would be set off on this small Yingzhou...... It seems that Governor Gu has put a lot of thought into this grand event. ”
"It's hilarious!"
When Mei Xiang heard this, she smiled sweetly, if she stayed at home, she would miss the excitement.
Jin Se raised the folding fan in his hand and smiled at Su Yang: "Master Su, do you remember the gambling contract between you and me that day?"
Su Yang naturally remembered that after Su Yang and Jin Se heard about Gu Baozhu, the daughter of Governor Gu, and Du Kangen, the first genius in Hangzhou, the two of them made a bet at that time, that is, whether Du Kangen and Gu Baozhu could succeed.
Jin Se was happy to see it, but Su Yang said that there was a lack of tempering between the two of them, and most of them would not succeed.
"If the two of them make it, then I win. ”
Jin Se looked at Su Yang and said with a smile: "If I win, you have to rely on me." ”
"What is there on weekdays that I don't follow you?"
Su Yang shook his head and said, "It's difficult for you to change it." "Suddenly, when it comes to complying with something, there must be something strange in it, and Su Yang casually diverges this point.
"It's not the same. ”
Jin Se looked at Su Yang and whispered, "If you win, I will follow you." ”
“......”
Su Yang looked at Jin Se, although Jin Se was wearing men's clothes at this time, but it was dazzling and bright, and Su Yang was moved in his heart, and he agreed, saying: "Okay!" Then he looked at the fireworks on the shore, dignified, just like Jia Zheng's father, and said: "The firecrackers will disperse as soon as they sound, and the bad omen has ......" and said with a smile: "It's not that I must win you, it's that I don't believe that Du Kangen can suppress the Hangzhou gentlemen who don't come out." ”
Jin Se smiled at Su Yang.
The mountains and rivers in Xiaoyingzhou are beautiful, but there are a lot of pedestrians, and the three of them did not immediately go to the hall, but wandered freely in Xiaoyingzhou to watch the scenery in Xiaoyingzhou.
It was almost noon, the clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, the four miles were clear, the sunlight penetrated the water, and the wisps of cold smoke regenerated, and the inside of Xiaoyingzhou was ethereal and clear, like a fairyland.
"Ah, sir, you're here!"
A scholar came to him, and after seeing Su Yang, he hurriedly bowed to Su Yang and looked at Su Yang respectfully.
"You ......"
Su Yang saw this scholar, and suddenly thought of the scholar who recited Chu Ci "Far Travel" on the boat on the way to Jinling years ago, this scholar's surname is Li, named Muting, once because of the love for the prefect's daughter, he even came to the door to propose marriage, and was imprisoned by the prefect to revoke his reputation. [Volume 1, Chapter 181]
At that time, Li Muting asked his husband how the world was, and Mr. talked about "Lei Cao", at that time, Su Yang refuted it, and said the true appearance of the world, but when it came to gravitational adsorption, he called out to Zhang Lao Xianggong and entered Jinling from underwater.
It has been a year since the day of farewell, and when Li Muting saw Su Yang, he still recognized Su Yang at a glance.
"You're here too. ”
Su Yang looked at Li Muting, seeing that he was neatly dressed, his demeanor was extraordinary, and his spirit was completely new, and he asked with a smile: "But you have the wish to cultivate immortals?"
Li Muting shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Not only the wish to cultivate immortals, but also the wish of the imperial examination, this year, the boy has been married, not the prefect's Miss Shengxian, but the fisherman girl in Hangzhou City, and now Muting is a businessman, full and satisfied." ”
Speaking of the past, Li Muting was frank and swaying, talking about his transformation from a prince to a businessman, Li Muting was still frank, and his heart had been settled.
"Good, good. ”
Su Yang looked at Li Muting with a satisfied look, nodded again and again, and said, "Be content and happy." Seeing Li Muting like this, he asked again: "Since you have no intention of taking the imperial examination, what are you doing here?"
Li Muting smiled and said: "Poetry, writing, and ink, Muting understands something after all, last year Muting also had the name of a talented man in Yangzhou, and Shengxian is just like Du Gongzi and Miss Gu...... And today's grand event, Mu Ting must come. There seems to be something difficult in the words.
"Why. ”
Su Yang looked at Li Muting's expression, and knew that there was a secret place involving the Wenhui, secretly transporting Sanskrit sounds, exploring at will, and wanting to hear some secrets.
"I'm Du Gongzi's gunman, if I don't come, Du Gongzi will be finished......"
Li Muting blurted out.
