Luo Yuanqiu's mansion is some distance away from Ma Bencai's mansion.

He did not choose the most prosperous area, but settled in a neat residential area in the east of the city.

When Tian Zhiyu arrived, it was still bright, he reported his name, and the doorman went in to pass the word, and after a while, Luo Yuanqiu actually came out to greet him in person.

"Little Brother Tian, I haven't seen you for a few days, but your demeanor is still the same," Luo Yuanqiu stepped forward with a smile, took his hand and greeted him, his eyes were full of joy that could not be concealed.

"Lord Luo actually came out to greet him in person, and he was ashamed to accept it, Lord Luo was too loving," Tian Zhiyu hurriedly replied.

"Hey, what does it take to lift love or not, with the talent of Little Brother Tian, Luo should have personally driven to the house to greet him, but when others saw it, they would not say that Luo was high-profile, but would say that Little Brother Tian was arrogant and arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes," Luo Yuanqiu couldn't see the melancholy of being depressed at all, and smiled boldly.

"Thank you Lord Luo for your thoughtfulness," Tian Zhiyu followed Luo Yuanqiu inside, and saw that his house was not big, not only not as good as the Jin Palace, but also much smaller than Ma Bencai's house.

However, his house is very poetic, with rockeries and living water, and like Su Yijin's courtyard, there are also a lot of plum blossom trees.

Follow Luo Yuanqiu to his Xinuan Pavilion, the house has already arranged all kinds of tableware, just wait for the guests to arrive and start serving.

Luo Yuanqiu didn't care at all that the difference between the two was dozens of years old, and treated Tian Zhiyu like a good friend, pulling him to sit down.

"Lord Luo, who else have you invited tonight?" Tian Zhiyu looked at the tableware, there should be three or four guests.

"There are a few more people, don't worry, they are all acquaintances, you will know when you come in a while," Luo Yuanqiu said with a smile: "Little Brother Tian, last time the old man wrote the poems you made and what you did to the emperor and the prime minister, asking that talents like you could not be handed over to the Beiyi people no matter what, but fortunately, the emperor and the prime minister listened to the old man's advice, rejected the request of the Beiyi people, and preserved the cultural context for me Dongyang." ”

Tian Zhiyu had already heard from Zhang Bin about the emperor's secret letter to Shi Guangying, so he thanked Luo Yuanqiu very much, and said: "Zhiyu was able to stay in Dongyang, Lord Luo helped too much, and Zhiyu was grateful, but Lord Luo, you can directly call me Zhiyu, call me little brother, Zhiyu always feels a little uncomfortable." ”

"Okay, good, just call you to the rain, you don't have to be polite to the rain, this is the responsibility and honor of the old man, if Dongyang loses you, the loss of more than one million male soldiers, as the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, a general is hard to find, in the old man's opinion, it is a thousand generals are easy to get, and it is difficult to find rain......"

Luo Yuanqiu obviously admired Tian Zhiyu's talent very much, and also liked him very much, so he kept holding his hand: "I don't know what arrangements Zhiyu has next?

Tian Zhiyu shook his head and said: "Zhiyu doesn't have this consideration for the time being, next I will go to Jiangnan with my two brothers, and then decide where to go. ”

Luo Yuanqiu couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard that he had no plans for scientific research, but he still encouraged: "It's okay, it's okay, as the saying goes, read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, this can increase your knowledge, if you become an official in the future, you won't be a short-sighted official." By the way, I heard that on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Su family composed the music for your song "Breaking the Array" with the Wen family from the capital at the Spring Pavilion and the Wen family, I don't know what you think of the song?"

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "I like it very much, the two of them work together seamlessly, perfectly." ”

Luo Yuanqiu said very regretfully: "It's a pity that the old man didn't go that night, and he couldn't listen to it with his own ears, I originally wanted to invite everyone Su to come to the banquet tonight, but I am not the king of Jin after all, and I don't have such a big face." After speaking, his face was a little embarrassed.

Tian Zhiyu guessed that Lord Luo might also go to the Chunyi Pavilion and wanted to invite Su Yijin to the banquet, maybe the shopkeeper of the Chunyi Pavilion refused, and couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking that this shopkeeper really didn't give the Lord face to appease, and said: "If Lord Luo wants to hear it, I'll find a time to bring the Su family over and play it to the adult." ”

Luo Yuanqiu looked at him suspiciously, and said, "You can invite everyone from the Su?"

Tian Zhiyu was thinking that after he left, he entrusted Luo Yuanqiu to take care of Su Yijin, so he didn't hide it, and said: "Don't hide it from the adults, I talked with the Su family on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and then I had a heart-to-heart relationship several times, and found that the two sides were in love, so I made a private decision for life, and I hope that the adults will not laugh." ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Luo Yuanqiu was surprised and happy after hearing Tian Zhiyu's words, and said: "This is really good, you two are a match made in heaven, talented and beautiful, and both young men and women, it's really good to be together, the old man is very happy for you." ”

Tian Zhiyu thanked him and said, "So if Lord Luo is willing, you can take the Su family to the house and play a few songs for Lord Luo." ”

Luo Yuanqiu was very excited after listening to it, and said: "That dare is good, if you can listen to the Su family play in private, the old man's life will be considered complete." ”

So Tian Zhiyu made an appointment with him, thought about it and said, "Actually, about Miss Su, Zhiyu has one more thing I want to beg Lord Luo for help." ”

"Even if you say, if you say it, as long as the old man can help, he will definitely go all out," Luo Yuanqiu replied boldly.

So Tian Zhiyu told Luo Yuanqiu about his inner worries, and asked him to take more care of Su Yijin after he left.

Luo Yuanqiu thought for a while and said, "Okay, the old man promises you, as long as it is within the scope of the old man's duties, the old man will use all his ability to protect Miss Su." ”

Hearing Luo Yuanqiu's words, Tian Zhiyu felt a lot more relieved in his heart, no matter how Luo Yuanqiu was also the pacification envoy of Puzhou Dao, he was already equivalent to a provincial party secretary, as long as he opened his mouth, the prince of Jin would have to give a face no matter what.

The two talked for a while, and the doorman came to report that several guests had arrived at the door, and Luo Yuanqiu immediately said, "Zhiyu, you wait here for a while, and I will go out to meet them." ”

After a while, Luo Yuanqiu came in with three people, and sure enough, they were all acquaintances, led by Zhang Fengchen, the transfer envoy of Puzhou Road, and followed by Luo Qi and Nuan Yue.

Tian Zhiyu was also surprised and happy to see Nuan Yue here, since the last goodbye, he hadn't seen her for more than ten days, he thought that Nuan Yue had returned to Shuguo with Luo Qi, and he was still a little stunned, but he didn't expect to meet here today.

When he saw Nuan Yue looking at him, his eyes were also happy, and the two looked at each other like a heart, and then turned their eyes away at the same time.

After a few people greeted each other, they sat down in turn, Luo Yuanqiu ordered his subordinates to start serving wine and food, and after a few people chatted for a while, Zhang Fengchen suddenly said: "Do you know about the murder incident that happened on Mingde Street a few days ago?"

Mingde Street is the street where Tian Zhiyu killed Zheng Luqiu, Tian Zhiyu thought that the murder incident mentioned by Zhang Fengchen should be this matter, and he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart.

Luo Yuanqiu said: "I also heard about this matter, and it was Zheng Luqiu in the Jin Palace's mansion who died." ”

Zhang Fengchen nodded and said: "It's him, originally the governor of the yamen wanted to investigate, but the king of Jin insisted that there was no such thing and didn't let the officials ask, but since it was the people of the palace who died, we didn't bother to care." ”

"It's just that this person died strangely," Luo Yuanqiu said: "This Zheng Luqiu is the younger brother of Zheng Wuqiu, the head of the Hebei Sword Society, and his martial arts are said to be not low, and he is from the palace, who will kill him?"

"Hebei Sword Society, is this Sword Society very powerful?" Tian Zhiyu asked.

Zhang Fengchen nodded and said: "Very powerful, as the first major sect in the north, the Hebei Sword Society has been established for hundreds of years, and the current head Zheng Wuqiu is not only strong in martial arts, but also has deep connections in the court." Therefore, after the King of Jin came to Taiyuan to become a vassal, the first thing he did was to visit Zheng Wuqiu at the Hebei Sword Society. ”

Tian Zhiyu smacked his tongue when he heard this, he didn't expect that he had accidentally provoked such a big sect, if their head knew that he had killed his brother, would he seek revenge on himself.

"However, we have never been involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, as long as it does not involve ordinary people, let them go," Luo Yuanqiu said.

Several people talked a few more words, and the topic passed, and after three rounds of wine, Luo Qi suddenly spoke: "Zhiyu, I heard that on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, you made three upper links in the Spring Pavilion, and so far no one can match the lower links?"

As soon as this topic came out, Luo Yuanqiu and Zhang Fengchen immediately joined in.

Since the beginning of the new year, these three couplets have been spread in Taiyuan City, and all the readers have taken one of them as their goal, but unfortunately not only those young students can't think of it, but these guys who have read books for half their lives can't think of one.

"Yes, Zhiyu, the old man has been thinking about it these days, but he can't think of any of them, can these pairs have a lower link?" Luo Yuanqiu didn't want to hear the answer from others, but he really couldn't think of it himself, so he had to look at Tian Zhiyu with expectation.

Tian Zhiyu glanced at Nuan Yue, and saw that she was looking at herself with a smile, and she was also expecting an answer, so she said with a smile: "There are a few imperfect couplets here, but once they say it, won't it deprive readers of the fun of thinking?"

"What kind of fun is not fun, the old man's head is about to crack, so you can name one of them when it rains, let us know that there is indeed a lower link, so that we can have some confidence in the remaining two," Zhang Fengchen said.

"Exactly, Zhiyu, you can say anything about it, and it can be regarded as satisfying our curiosity," Luo Yuanqiu also said.

Looking at the appearance of this group of feudal officials scratching their ears and cheeks, Tian Zhiyu couldn't help but want to laugh, if he didn't say one of them, I was afraid that they would all be unable to sleep at night for a while in the future, and they wouldn't have the energy to do anything else during the day, so he thought about it and said: "Then I'll name one of them, and I think the most difficult one, is the smoke lock pond willow." ”

"Yes, the old man also thinks this is the most difficult, and the following two can still find a clue, this one really doesn't have any eyebrows, Zhiyu, you say quickly," Zhang Fengchen was also an acute person, and began to urge Tian Zhiyu.

"This smoke lock pond willow, there are two lower links here, one of which is the Paozhen Haicheng Tower, this lower link and the upper link of fire, metal, water, earth, wood can correspond to one by one, but the artistic conception of the upper link of the smoke lock pond willow is beautiful, giving people infinite association space, this Paozhen Haicheng Tower is monotonous in the artistic conception of a lot, far from the beauty of the upper link. Tian Zhiyu told eloquently.

"Paozhen Haicheng Tower, it's really good, not to mention the artistic conception, the old man thinks that as long as it can match the five elements, it will already be very good," Luo Yuanqiu said.

Zhang Fengchen and Luo Qi also nodded, and Luo Qi said again: "Could it be that you have a more perfect downlink due to rain?"

Tian Zhiyu said: "I know that there is a river called Jinjiang in Jiannan Road, and it is also the place where the poetry saint Du Gongbu lived, and he once left several poems about Jinjiang, such as 'Jinjiang spring comes to heaven and earth', such as 'Jinjiang spring comes by people'. Although I have not been to Jiannan Road, let alone seen the Jinjiang River, but in the imagination of the Xia, there is such a picture, that is, the embankment of the Jinjiang River is planted with peach trees, in the spring of March, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, looking like a bright red flame from a distance, extremely spectacular, so in such an imagination, I thought about such a pair of lower couplets, that is, 'Taoran Jinjiang Embankment', I think it is more in line with the artistic conception than the Haicheng Tower of Paozhen. ”

"Wonderful, Taoran Jinjiang Embankment is indeed far superior to the previous one in terms of artistic conception, and it also contains the principle that the five elements of yin and yang are mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing, which is indeed an absolute for the ages," Luo Yuanqiu slapped the table in surprise, and the wine in the bowl spilled out.

After thinking for a while, Luo Qi and Zhang Fengchen also praised that this is indeed the best link.

Tian Zhiyu looked at Nuan Yue again, and saw that she was just smiling and looking at herself, different from the two of them who were arguing in private, she was sitting quietly next to Luo Qi at the moment, like a lady.

Tian Zhiyu couldn't help but give her a 'how', isn't it amazing' expression, and Nuan Yue immediately replied with a 'really thick-skinned' action.

The three sighed for a while, and Zhang Fengchen said again: "What about the other two uplink?

Didn't you say that it was only one of them, Tian Zhiyu smiled slyly and said, "There are two other ones, but a few adults, don't you think that being able to think slowly is actually a kind of fun?"

A few people didn't know that Tian Zhiyu was reminding them, and they only reminded one when they said that they were okay, so they all smiled, and then drank and ate.
