Well, it's their own passion.

Jiang Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was quite rare to accurately find the only mortal among the three.

"That being said, you better keep the golden turtle. Jiang Qinglan said.

If it was because of a meal of wine, even the accessories for being an official were gone, Jiang Qinglan would still be unhappy.

But I didn't expect He Jizhen to be unusually insistent, "The gentleman is hard to chase after a word, and if he said that I would invite wine, I will have to come to this account, and there is no precedent for this golden turtle to be used as wine money, and I can be regarded as a precedent, maybe I can also pass on a good talk." ”

After that, he laughed and threw the golden turtle to the little two who were waiting for the checkout.

After He Jizhen left, Jiang Qinglan asked Li Bai, "He didn't bring any money, why did you stop me from settling the bill just now?"

"Well, I thought he was doing it on purpose, trying to drink alcohol. Li Bai rubbed his hands, "When I used to talk about business with others, there was a kind of person who cleaned up Zhou Zhou Zhengzheng, and cheated on food and drink in the name of talking about business. ”

"Just now, this person claimed to be a court official, how can a court official go out without money? At first glance, it is a procrastination, obviously he has such a big golden turtle on him, and he still wants to deceive us that he didn't bring money!" Li Bai had a proud expression that saw through everything, "Brother Jiang, I'm amazing, right?"

"It's amazing, but ...... You really don't know that the golden turtle is an accessory issued by the imperial court to officials?" Jiang Qinglan looked at Li Baidao.

"Ah? I thought he was talking nonsense, was it really an official?" Li Bai was a little surprised, in Li Bai's impression, the court officials were all like Su Ying and Li Yong, and they either had to spend a lot of money to ask for a meeting, or they were disdainful of ordinary people like them.

This He Jizhen was different from all the officials he had seen before.

"Why don't you have any official shelf?" Li Bai said.

"A person of true temperament will not let those external things overshadow his nature. Jiang Qinglan said with a smile, "When he heard about your reputation, he came to the inn to wait for you, read your poems, and wanted to pull you to drink, so he dragged you to go, these are all behaviors that follow his heart, and naturally he will not put on an official show." ”

"Then he said that he wanted to recommend me to the emperor, wouldn't it be his true temperament?" Although Li Bai is not mixed with officialdom, he also knows how difficult it is to want someone to help recommend me in front of the emperor, and he still clearly remembers that Su Ying received a gift from Brother Jiang in a carriage, saying that the recommendation was just a scene.

"If nothing else, he would have done that. Jiang Qinglan was very sure.

"He is like this, in order to eat and drink, even the golden turtle prepared by the court can be paid to the official of the store, and he is definitely not favored in the court, he should drink too much wine and talk big. Li Bai didn't believe it.

"Five hundred taels, do you bet or not?" Jiang Qinglan stretched out her palm and waved it at Li Bai, "Old rules, if I win, you give me five hundred taels, and if you win, I will give you twice." ”

"Bet!" Li Bai said.

Although he had never won, this time, Li Bai felt that he would definitely be able to get rid of his shame.

Seven days later, Li Bai handed over five hundred taels to Jiang Qinglan with a distressed face, "He actually recommended me to the emperor? We were also invited to the spring banquet held by the royal family? Why?"

"Because you are the Li Bai that everyone is vying to get acquainted with. Jiang Qinglan patted the back of Li Bai's hand with a smile, "I am willing to lose the bet and let go." ”

Li Baixin reluctantly removed his hand from the five hundred taels of silver, a little worried, "He Jizhen said that His Majesty wants to summon me at the Spring Banquet, what if Your Majesty takes a fancy to me as a talent, let me be an official?

"Xiaobai, let me ask you a question. Jiang Qinglan said suddenly.

"Brother Jiang, you say. Li Bai said.

"Do you have any misunderstanding about being an official in the court?" Jiang Qinglan said.

Li Bai looked at Jiang Qinglan puzzled, "Ah, why do you ask that?"

"If there is no misunderstanding, why do you look like you have been robbed?" Jiang Qinglan was a little helpless, "Xiaobai, the imperial court is not a Goolan Courtyard, and it will not be difficult for strong people." ”

"Brother Jiang, what if it is difficult for me to be strong?" Li Bai was still not at ease.

"You are a grass citizen, in addition to being good-looking, making money, and writing poetry, what else will you do?" Jiang Qinglan glanced at Li Bai angrily, "Governing the people for the government is not just a matter of mouth, don't worry, even if you really get the emperor's blue eyes by then, you will not be a big official with real power, and you can completely refuse to take office." ”

"Really?" Li Bai said.

"When did I lie to you?" Jiang Qinglan said.

Li Bai thought about it, and it didn't seem to be true, "Then let's go to the appointment?"

"Of course. Jiang Qinglan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and when she heard that the royal spring banquet was flowing and the imperial kitchen was preparing for the banquet, she really wanted to see it.

Anyway, there are only two unfinished poems in the cause and effect book now, according to Li Bai's current talent, he can complete it with a little guidance, and enjoy a royal spring banquet before returning to the heavens, such an opportunity cannot be missed.

As for everything else, it's all at will.

On the day of the spring feast, the warm sun was shining and the breeze was warm, He Jizhen personally drove the carriage to pick up the people, and when he arrived at the place, he led the three of them to a peach blossom tree, "The three of you sit here, and after the banquet begins, there will be servants to serve you wine and food." ”

"Because it is a royal banquet, my seat is with all the lords of the court, there is really no way to transfer it, I can't see you after the banquet, if there is anything, just call the servants to come to me. ”

"In addition, Your Majesty will swim in the lake for a while, the painting boat will flow along the water, where the boat stops, it is Your Majesty who wants to summon people to meet you, I have recommended Li Bai Gongzi to Your Majesty before, if there is no accident, Your Majesty's painting boat will stop at the turn in front for a while. ”

"After the boat stops, there will be a father-in-law who will come down to announce the way, and then just follow the father-in-law. ”

"In addition to this, there is nothing else to pay attention to, this spring banquet has always been to eat, drink, and look at the scenery, very casual, Your Majesty is magnanimous, and he also likes to watch the courtiers drink and laugh, so even if he is greedy for a cup of gaffe, as long as it is not too out of line, he will not be blamed. ”

After He Jizhen finished speaking, he gave Jiang Qinglan the general situation of the spring banquet and introduced them to them, and then got up and prepared to return to his banquet.

"Lord He stayed. Jiang Qinglan stopped He Jizhen, and then handed over an object, "Lord He is gracious, I can't thank you, I want to express my gratitude for this thing." ”

"What is this?" He Jizhen glanced at the thing wrapped in the handkerchief, but did not take it immediately.

Jiang Qinglan opened the handkerchief with a smile, revealing a golden turtle inside, which was the same golden turtle that He Jizhen had paid for wine at the inn that day.

"The imperial court rules and regulations, it's better not to go out. Jiang Qinglan smiled and put the golden turtle in He Jizhen's hand, "Lord He, take it, next time you drink, don't forget to bring the wine money." ”

He Jizhen laughed, took the golden turtle and strode away.

Li Bai, who was originally happy, suddenly frowned, "Brother Jiang, Your Majesty summoned you on the boat?"
