He was enjoying himself, ignoring the report of Su Yushi, Li Hanlin worshiped the house, Wu Gong was overjoyed when he heard the words, his friends visited, he hurriedly greeted him, only to see Su Li Ercheng coming out of the sedan chair, the two men wore gauze hats, wore bright warm robes, and practiced shoes, which was completely a kind of usual civilian clothes.

The two of them saw Wu Gong in civilian clothes to greet him, and the three of them met, and the friendship was harmonious, and there was no politeness at all, Wu Gong smiled happily: "These days, Mei Kai is angry, and the two brothers are just the right coincidence." ”

Li Hanlin smiled and said: "Gong Wu, you are alone at home to enjoy the reward, and you don't take the initiative to invite the two of you to share it, there is a suspicion that the golden house is always treasured, should you be punished?"

Su Yushi also smiled and said: "Brother Li is reasonable, in my opinion, today Wu Gong should be fined three glasses of wine and a poem to comfort the two of us." ”

Wu Gong argued: "I wanted to choose an auspicious day and invite the second brother to enjoy the plum blossoms, but unexpectedly, the second brother took the lead, blaming me for not thinking about it." ”

The three of them laughed and entered the house, this is the study, the back door is connected to the garden, it is really a good place to sing poems and paint, flowers before the moon.

Saying that, the three of them entered the house, Su Li and the two of them are also full of poetry and books, for the flowers and plants just love the house and Wu, the two do not wait to rest, begging Wu Gong to appreciate the angry plum first, so the three of them came to the back garden, only to see here, two of the best plums, the branches are strong, the dragon claws are in the sky, the flowers are blooming, the snow is full, the little vermilion is dotted among them, the spots are golden like the stars shining, it is simply the Qionghua jade tree, the world is wonderful, in addition to other magnificent and fragrant beautiful plum chrysanthemums open, the garden is full of fragrance.

After the two watched it, Li Hanlin praised: "It's really a good scenery, extraordinary." ”

Su Yushi also nodded and said, "Qionghua Yushu is no less than the Yaochi Wonderland, and Duke Wu lives here, which is really enviable." ”

The three of them enjoyed for a while, Wu Gong immediately ordered the family to put warm wine, the three of them drank a few glasses, Li Hanlin suggested: "There is wine and plum here, it is really a good day and auspicious time for poetry, why don't the two brothers present a song together to increase some entertainment." ”

Su Yushi also agreed: "This plum is beautiful but not glamorous, beautiful but not demonic, icy and fragrant, with a bit of fairy spirit, it is really loveable and respectful, we and the other three should indeed add poems to it, and it can still be left for future generations, so that its beauty is not in vain." ”

Wu Gong smiled and nodded in agreement with the proposal of the two of them.

The plan of the three has been decided, Wu Gong called the left and right to take the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to distribute it, and the three of them improvised the rhyme to appreciate the plum poem.

At this time, someone from the Wu Mansion suddenly came to report and said, "Yang Yushi is here." ”

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but be disgusted, and Wu Gong said angrily: "Fool, seeing that the three of us are busy here, we should have rejected him a long time ago." ”

The subordinate was ashamed and reported again: "Yang Yushi didn't listen to Xiao's words, he had already broken into the mansion by himself, and he was coming towards the study, and he had already estimated it now." ”

When Wu Gong heard this, he immediately dropped his pen and ink, and hurriedly came out to greet him, at this moment, this Yang Yushi had already arrived outside the study, and the two happened to bump into each other, Wu Gong smiled and said: "What kind of wind blew Yang Yushi into my house today?"

Yang Yushi wore a stiff-footed hood, wore a robe, and looked like an official, he saw a few people in the house, and couldn't help complaining: "You are waiting here to drink and have fun, but you forget me, Wu Gong is really partial." ”

Wu Gong hurriedly explained: "I saw Yang Yushi, he was busy with official business on weekdays, and he had no time to separate, so he didn't dare to bother. ”

Yang Yushi said with a smile: "I have heard that Wu Gong is good at reciting poems, and when I saw it today, it was really so." He didn't wait for Wu Gong's words, and continued: "In the past, Lai Li Hanlin was talented in polishing an article and sent it to the prince and the prince, and the prince was overjoyed, and he was really grateful. ”

Li Hanlin said with a smile: "Yang Yushi doesn't have to be like this, I am a gesture, why worry about it." ”

Su Yushi smiled and said: "Yang Gong, borrow flowers to offer Buddha, that Taifu will definitely be grateful to you, he will be courteous and come to thank you." He made a pun on Yang Yushi, who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, without thanking Li Hanlin for his help.

Yang Yushi, who was scheming, couldn't hear the organ here, and hurriedly defended: "It's just a congratulatory message, why should it be rewarded." ”

Wu Gongdao: "Whether there is or not, there is Li Hanlin's help, but Yang Gong has not seen his gratitude for a long time, this is not sincere, I and other elegant scholars, I don't want to ask for a gift in return, but Yang Gong was called to drink before, and he inevitably had the heart of being underestimated, which was chilling." ”

When Yang Yushi heard this, he shouted that he was wronged, and he was a little angry.

Seeing this, Su Yushi was afraid that the two would be at odds because of this, so he played a round and said: "Wu Gong bluntly said, Yang Gong doesn't have to worry about a person with a true temperament, but you are suspected of being rude, and you should be punished with a glass of wine." ”

Yang Yushi shouted that he was wronged, and he couldn't bear it, and said: "I have accepted this punishment for a glass of wine, and I hope that the princes will not say that I am favoritistic and unkind." With that, he took his cup and drank the whole thing.

After drinking, everyone had a tacit understanding not to mention this matter, Yang Yushi looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, so he said: "You are full of learning, have fun here, I happen to be the same subject, although the poetry is not good, I would like to ask you for advice, and I hope that the three of you will not make fun of me." ”

Wu Gong and the three nodded yes.

And said that Yang Yushi was willing to come here, originally for a tricky matter, but unexpectedly, three people here, and all of them are poetry and books, it is not easy to say for a while, and after a while, I can't hold back, and said: "The three of them are here, I really don't hide from each other, I came to Wu Gong's mansion this time, there is really a tricky event, I need to discuss with Wu Gong, if Wu Gong can help, the benefits will never be missing." ”

Wu Gong was surprised and said: "Yang Yushi, why are you so concerned, let's hear about it?"

The other two listened intently.

Yang Yushi cleared his throat and said eloquently: "This matter is extremely strange, Gai is the sister of the prince Taifu of the court, Liu, who was originally crowned the queen, and the Taifu was able to be promoted to the position of Taifu. And this Taifu's family also has a pro-Liu family, and the official worships Duwei, this person is arrogant and domineering, insatiable, and no one dares to care. He smelled that a field outside the city was rich in crops, and the cream was abundant, so he coveted it for a long time, and on the occasion of the queen's sealing, he called the house to rob Lelai, and the farmer sued every day that the land was not working. The news of this matter was boiling, and the city was full of wind and rain, and the horse commander was also a little afraid, and wanted to compensate with money, but the farmer was hard-hearted, and he had to go back to the field and comfort his ancestors, but the captain just didn't pay it back. This matter was in trouble in the yamen, and the horses were about to deal with the farmers according to the law. Nadu Wei was afraid that this matter would reach the Holy Dragon's Ear, and he was worried that Long Yan would be angry, so he asked someone to mediate it, and he understood and reasoned with the farmer, and moved him with affection. I am here this time, not only for this matter, but also for the sake of righteousness. ”

When Wu Gong heard this, it turned out that it was a corrupt official who disturbed the people, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Yang Yushi's words are wrong, that Du Wei is corrupt and perverts the law, knows the law and violates the law, and should be severely punished, but you say good things about this person, and you are not in harmony." ”

Su Yushi also said angrily: "As an official, he should serve the country and the people and serve the emperor, but he bullied others, encroached on others' anointment, and bullied the king, and should be dealt with according to law." ”

Li Hanlin nodded in agreement.

That Yang Yushi was angrily reprimanded by everyone, and his old face was also blushing, and he said shamefully: "The old man also thinks so, although I love money, but I take it in a good way, and there is a law to follow in this matter, so I shouldn't have asked about it." The old man's actions this time are just to seek promotion, just to adjust the court, and will not treat the farmer badly, as the saying goes: 'People go to high places, and water flows to low places.' The old man's behavior is also within common sense. ”

After hearing this, the three of them had nothing to say, Wu Gongdao: "But this time, Yang Yushi helped to abuse, which really made me angry, and I couldn't help it." ”

When Yang Yushi heard this, he sighed and said: "You don't know, I can't help myself, when I was young, my family was surrounded by walls, poor as a wash, and I studied hard in the cold window. The Governor at that time was a good man, and when he saw that I was diligent in his studies, he often supported me with hunger and cold, and I swore that I would repay such great kindness. Now, the old lieutenant died, leaving behind his disobedient only son and a daughter. Later, I was on the list in the imperial examination, and I never forgot the love of sending charcoal in the snow. Now that the descendants of the old lieutenant have admitted that they are wrong, I am willing to stand up and deal with the aftermath, and I hope that the princess will repay this kindness in the future as I wish. ”

The three of them, after hearing this, sighed, but they have always been jealous and hateful, unwilling to help the abuse, and there is no good way for a while, so they look at each other.
