The moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is still very round. Thousands of lights, a city of fireworks, a good night. If people can fly up to the sky and look down, they can see the huge Jizhou City, the streets are vertical and horizontal, the crowd is bustling, and everyone has lanterns in their hands, as if they want to open a lantern array.

At this moment, the popularity is extremely strong, and countless blood qi rises to the sky, condensing into a clump, like clouds in the sky.

In this case, it is a fatal impact on the ghosts and ghosts, so they don't dare to come out. Even if the magic powers of idle warlocks are involved, they are involved in all aspects, and their power is greatly reduced.

During the Lantern Festival, not everyone will stay in the city, and those who go out of the city to Yazhi Bay, Guyun Peak, or boating on the river are in groups of three or five, all of which are on a scale. So as to effectively form a diversion, otherwise all crowded in the city, I am afraid that there is no place to stand, and it will be difficult to move an inch.

In Gu's house, Master Xuezheng was chatting with Li Yifeng and others.

Li Yifeng asked: "Xi Chao, you said that Ye Junsheng had other affairs, so he politely declined your invitation?"

Gu Xuezheng nodded, stretched out his hand to brush his beard, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

Huang Yuanqi frowned: "Don't you know that it will be of great benefit to be invited to the school government as a guest?"

Li Yifeng thought of another layer, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that someone from the East Palace invited him too?"

When it came to the word "East Palace", everyone present was nervous.

Gu Xuezheng waved his hand and said, "There is nothing to do...... Although this son has become famous, he has not yet entered their eyes. ”

Indeed, the way of poetry, although it can best drive fame, but after all, it still needs the support of the official career to be considered a foundation, otherwise it is water without a source and a tree without roots.

"Why is that? I have never heard of a student in my life turning down an invitation from a student who is a student of Politics and Politics. ”

Li Yifeng was a little puzzled.

A state school politician, a three-grade officer, is the highest education official within the jurisdiction of the state. In principle, all the scholars are under his control, and the power is so great that it is simply life and death. I don't know how many people have to go through the doorway, hoping to get some care, and the benefits that can be obtained in the township test are self-evident.

To put it bluntly, for ordinary students, the academic and political masters are like a thick golden thigh, as long as they can hug it, I am afraid that they will be willing to cuckold - the premise is that the adults are willing to want it.

It's good now, the adults took the initiative to invite, but Ye Junsheng actually said that there was something wrong and he didn't come.

What could be more important than going to the banquet of the University of Learning?

Just like in modern society, if a director of the Department of Education wants to invite a grassroots teacher to dinner, will the teacher refuse?

No, and I don't dare. If you are not careful, you will be buttoned up with a big hat that "does not know how to lift", and under the pressure of the hat, this life will be almost the same.

Huang Yuanqi said: "This son is not a proud person, it is strange. ”

Gu Xuezheng took a sip of tea slowly: "Over there in Emei Garden, I also invited him." ”

Li Yifeng was moved and clapped his hands: "I see, no wonder he will refuse to cherish the dynasty, and dare to go to the princess's side......"

Gu Xuezheng waved his hand: "He also refused." ”

This time, whether it is Li Yifeng or Huang Yuanqi, their eyes are a little straight. From their standpoint, they really can't understand what Ye Jun's business desires are?

It is said that the reader is high, but he is not blindly making a gesture, in fact, it is more about "waiting for the price to sell".

Except for a very small number of madmen or nerds who are dead readers, who doesn't want to show their ambitions? Reading the books of sages is nothing more than realizing the ideal of "self-cultivation, governing the family, securing the country, and leveling the world."

In order to achieve such a goal, it is impossible to rely on individual efforts alone, but must rely on it and gain the appreciation of the powerful group.

Now, whether it is the second prince or the ninth princess, they are all behemoths, and they all took the initiative to extend an olive branch, but they were politely rejected by Ye Junsheng, what did he want?

You must know that Ye Junsheng is just a student from a broken background. When the idle jinshi wanted to hug these two golden thighs, they also asked their grandfather to cry for their grandmother, and spent a lot of silver to pave the way in order to get some doorways. In contrast, Ye Junsheng's easy gain of favor is simply crazy.

But these two precious opportunities were lightly rejected by him.

Ye Junsheng is neither a madman nor a nerd, what does he think in his heart?

Gu Xuezheng smiled: "Who knows what he is going to do? Maybe, he really has something to do, and he has no time to withdraw." I just hope that he is a really smart man and will not shoot himself in the foot. ”

Speaking of which, there is a bit of a sense of tranquility.

Li Yifeng listened to it over there, and his heart slammed into a sudden, secretly blaming Ye Junsheng for not knowing how to measure. In fact, he appreciated Ye Junsheng's talent a lot, and didn't want him to have an accident. It's just tonight's move, Ye Junsheng is really too stupid...... "Brother, you're so stupid, 'peacock flies southeast', the word 'hole' flies off the east radical, the word 'bird' flies off the south face, and the rest is combined, isn't it just the word 'Sun'." ”

On the bustling street, Ye Junsheng and his entourage were parked under a lantern riddle tower, guessing the lantern riddles.

This tower, which is temporarily erected, is constructed with a lot of bamboo, is square, and there are many lanterns with riddles written on the four sides, and if you guess it, you can take it down and give it to the riddle keeper on one side, and if the answer is confirmed, you can get a certain reward.

The reward consists of some money, or candy, cakes, masks, trinkets, etc. It's not worth much, it's important to have fun.

These mystery towers belonged to the government to build, and the prizes were also sponsored by the government. In fact, many rich and noble families, or restaurants, there will be private guessing activities, by the literati to each other's questions, guessing, the lottery will be much richer.

The initial prototype of riddles was "hidden words", and in the Han Dynasty, they began to be used in games, called "shooting";

For example, the riddle "Peacock Flying Southeast" that Ye Junmei guessed just now was taken from a "direction method".

For guessing riddles, no matter in his past life or present life, Ye Junsheng didn't dabble too much, but he couldn't compare to Bing Xue's smart sister.

Ye Junmei happily took down the lantern, went to the riddle keeper to answer the right question, and finally got a rattle, held it in his hand, shook it gently, and made a bang, which was very pleasant and fun.

She shook her face, her face was full of smiles, and under the bright lights, she was like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal dust, full of a kind of beautiful and refined beauty.

Her beauty even made Jiang Jing'er on the side a little discolored.

A man and three women walked together, for fear of being swept away by the crowd, the three women held hands. They don't have a fixed goal, they walk aimlessly, sometimes guessing lantern riddles, sometimes buying some snacks to eat in their hands, and then swarming to a certain stall to watch.

Free, completely inorganic, and innocent.

It's Ye Junsheng who is a little isolated, but when he goes shopping with women, men are all hands-on, and pay the bills, he doesn't care, his sister is happy. It's rare to accompany them out on a trip, and it's okay to suffer some small grievances.

"Wow, brother, this mask is so beautiful!"

Ye Junmei shouted happily, she was holding a beautiful mask in her hand, but it was a fox mask.

The mask is painted by hand, with realistic colors and lifelike shapes, and when worn on Ye Junmei's face, it really looks like a little fox.

"If you like it, buy it. ”

Ye Jun quickly took out the money, which was not expensive, but only twenty yuan - of course, this was relative to their current net worth, and they were reluctant to use the money to buy a mask no matter what. When there is no money, dozens of dollars are considered a huge amount of money.

Ye Junmei was reluctant to take off this mask when she put it on, she was charming, and Jiang Jing'er over there looked at it and bought one, but it was a cat's, and it was very cute when she wore it on her face.

Ye Junsheng looked at it and laughed.

After walking for about half an hour, everyone was a little tired, so they went to a nearby restaurant called "Tao Ran Ge", found a table by the window and sat down, and asked the shopkeeper to serve a few small dishes and some pasta.

Raise your head and look down, the voices of people are boiling, the lights are bright, just like the street market in the sky, with a unique style.

"Brother, tonight's Lantern Festival, why don't you write poems?"

Ye Junmei asked.

Ye Junsheng said: "If you don't participate in the poetry meeting, what kind of poetry do you make?"

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper suddenly came running, with a flattering smile on his face, and waved at Ye Junsheng: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it Ye Junsheng Ye Gongzi of Guanchen Academy?"

Ye Junsheng was stunned: "Do you recognize me?"

After confirming the identity, the shopkeeper was overjoyed: "If it is really a son, the son comes to our store, it is really brilliant." This time, in the next east, please don't shirk. ”

Ye Junsheng was dumbfounded and said, "How can this be done?"

"It doesn't matter. ”

The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic.

Jiang Jing'er looked at it over there, and her eyes bulged: dare to be a genius halo, and go out to eat for free, which is more powerful than the aura of a hero.

You must know that those who are heroes are all wealth boys, and most of them invite others to dinner, and few are invited.

After inviting a meal, the shopkeeper was reluctant to leave, and he wanted to stop talking.

Ye Junsheng saw that his heart was bright, and said, "Does the shopkeeper have anything to say?"

The shopkeeper smiled cautiously: "Yes, it's rare for Ye Gongzi to come to this building for dinner, it's a rare opportunity, but I want to ask you to inscribe a poem on the shadow wall, I don't know if it's okay?"

I was a little apprehensive, I really hoped that Ye Junsheng could agree.

The so-called shadow wall is a kind of wooden wall built on the restaurant, with a base underneath, which can be moved. It is generally set up in a conspicuous place in the restaurant, and people who come in can see it at a glance. Another function of this shadow wall is to write poems and inscriptions, since it is impossible for anyone to be able to scribble with their hands, if you keep the famous ink treasure, it is really a big propaganda weapon.

Ye Junsheng only thought about it and said, "Okay!"

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to push the shadow wall over, and the pen and ink were waiting for him.

Ye Junsheng lifted the pen and ink, and without thinking under the gaze of a gaze, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the words were completed in a moment, and the end was done in one go.

The shopkeeper was still worried that Ye Junsheng would scribble casually, perfunctory, and when he finished reading the words, he had only one thought in his heart: he was no longer afraid of the sworn enemy on the other side to steal business......
