When the water fairy heard this proposal, she was not happy at all, and excused herself and said, "Yuanfeng is still young now, I'm afraid it's not suitable for this matter." ”

"It's not suitable, let's try it first, he's in the capital now, this is his post, I hope I can give him something to do." The four princes took out a post and handed it to the water fairy, and after the water fairy read it, he said to the four princes: "Since this is the case, the concubine has nothing to say, I hope Yuanfeng will not live up to the trust of the saint." ”

Ruoshui Fairy didn't stay long, left the palace, went to the post house, and saw Chu Yuanfeng, Chu Yuanfeng smiled and said, "Fifth sister, you're here." I'm still going to look for you, and if you come, I'll save me from finding someone else. ”

"You, you want to be an official, but you told your father?"

"Say, if I go back, they will definitely let me get married, really, I didn't agree, they decided my marriage first. The girl of the An family, if I get married, can I still have a peaceful birthday in my life? ”

Chu Yuanfeng didn't give Ruoshui Fairy a chance to speak, and his mouth was like a cannon, saying all kinds of things wrong with An Huarong.

In the end, Chu Yuanfeng sighed and said: "Her broken mouth, really people are going to be angry to death, and then they are angry again, you say that I am also a scholar, and if I want to marry, I will marry a fair lady like Sister Xiang." ”

Ruoshui Fairy patted his head lightly and said, "Don't joke with me, this matter was decided by Emperor Wen, if you want to push it, go to Emperor Wen and talk to it." But even so, you shouldn't be a saint and become an official yourself. Do you know? The saint is ready to make you the Admiral of the Nine Gates. ”

"Admiral Jiumen, this official is not bad, it's my sister, you help me intercede, then thank you really Fifth Sister, among the seven of us, only Fifth Sister you are the best for me."

"Okay, do you know that this is a hot steamed bun, and if you can't get it, you can kill people, and tell me, what qualifications do you have to be this Admiral of the Nine Gates now. There are many sons of this prince, and there are no less than two digits more than you can do. None of them have a chance, so why would you have a chance? ”

Hearing Ruoshui Fairy's question, Chu Yuanfeng thought for a while, and said to Ruoshui Fairy: "Fifth sister, the sage gave me this position because he saw me as small and easy to control, after all, I am a middle-aged person who will listen to him." ”

"Yes, you are not stupid, when something goes wrong, the saint will directly blame you and let you take the blame. What's so good about this kind of puppet official position, I actually want to help you get a governor, but now it seems that you can't be a governor anymore. Ruoshui Fairy sighed, thought for a while and said again: "What happened to the third brother?" I'm busy these days, and although I've heard from my subordinates, I haven't seen him. ”

Chu Yuanfeng shook his head and said: "I came to the capital this time to find the third brother, but it's strange, that sword king actually said that he didn't know about the third brother's affairs, I think he was lying, what do you think?" ”

"It's still useful to him, so I don't have to pursue it too much. After I officially become a virtuous concubine, I will deal with him. ”

Chu Yuanfeng smiled, then took Ruoshui Fairy's hand and said coquettishly: "Fifth sister, you are a virtuous concubine, can you do me a small favor?" ”

"What's the rush? You speak first. ”

"You agree first, don't worry, I'm your brother, will I still hurt you?"

"Naturally, you won't hurt me, but I'm worried that you'll hurt yourself, so let's do it, as long as it's not related to the person surnamed Yin, I can agree." Ruoshui Fairy looked at Chu Yuanfeng, Chu Yuanfeng heard her say this, he didn't need to let go of his hand, and said to Ruoshui Fairy: "Hey, let's wait until you become a virtuous concubine, but do you really want to do that Raushzi martial arts competition, or are you going to wipe out all the heroes in the world?" ”

"How can the imperial court lose its trust in the world, but with your identity, don't go to join in the fun, lest you cause me any trouble when you get it."

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry, I'm not interested in these martial arts people at all. ”

Chu Yuanfeng ostensibly agreed, on the third day of the eighth month, the day before the conference, Chu Yuanfeng slipped out of the post house, changed into his scholar's clothes, and walked on the streets of the capital with a fan.

He took a tour of the city, and then went to Jinghuai outside the capital to have a look.

Jinghuai is a canal dug by the Song Emperor in order to prevent the Di people from going south, diverting from the Xuanhe River in the western capital city.

Later, the Chen Dynasty was also unable to recover the north, and continued to expand this section of Jinghuai.

After the Wei Dynasty established the capital here, the grain of Wuliang Mansion was transported to Xijingcheng, and then transported to the capital through Jinghuai.

In order to facilitate Cao Yun, the Wei Emperors of the past dynasties expanded again, and when they arrived in the Yu Dynasty, Jinghuai was already able to match the same name as the other three major rivers.

In this section of the capital, there is a tributary, called the Rouge River, as the name suggests, here are all over the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, Wu Wa Yue'e.

Chu Yuanfeng had heard of this, and after arriving, he only listened to the gentle chanting in the painting boat, and the silk and bamboo on the red mansion continued.

"It's an interesting place, but there's nothing elegant about it."

Chu Yuanfeng listened to it, and these women were just like this when they played and sang, and they didn't have much interest.

Along the Rouge River, he saw a pavilion where many scholars were crying, and he couldn't help but be curious, and asked an old farmer who sold vegetables, "Why are those scholars crying there?" ”

"Oh, Xianggong, that's the Tear Pavilion, these Xianggong all went to Beijing to take the exam, and after taking the test, they were admitted to someone else's show building. One day, their little money was lost, so they were kicked out. Many people feel that there are no talents and no fame, so they have to suffer. When many people here are doing business, they cry like this, and others feel unlucky, so they simply build a pavilion and let them come to this pavilion to cry, so as not to spoil their fortune. ”

Chu Yuanfeng sighed, and looked at a few painting boats parked around him, and many people dressed as young masters stood on the deck, looking at the weeping scholars in the pavilion, pointing there.

The old farmer also explained: "These young masters, they like to see others crying, and when they are interested, they will also ask people to send some silver, so many ministers come here to cry, hoping to mix up and return home." ”

"How can this be reasonable, how can there be such a reason, the spirit and bones of this scholar have been thrown into this rouge river by them." Chu Yuanfeng fanned the fan angrily, then took out a golden bean, handed it to the old farmer and said, "Okay, thank you, old man." ”

"Xianggong is polite, Xianggong is also a rich man, and don't go to the Yilan Pavilion to see, the city will be a hero with martial arts, there is a talented woman here, and he will be a hero."

Chu Yuanfeng was idle and had nothing to do, asked where Yilan Pavilion was, and then walked over.

This Yilan Pavilion is not far away, not long after, I saw a stone boat, there have been a lot of young masters gathered outside the stone boat, Chu Yuanfeng walked over, inquired, and learned that this talented girl is called Liu Qingyao, is a famous Oiran in the Rouge River, usually to see her, it takes a hundred taels of silver, and now she makes an exception, as long as she passes the three levels, you can see him.

Chu Yuanfeng looked at the many sons and asked in a low voice: "With your identity, you can still take out a few hundred taels of silver." ”

"Silver is a trivial matter, this time it is a test of civil and martial arts, everyone wants to take this opportunity to show themselves and let others know how powerful they are."

Chu Yuanfeng smiled, then looked over there, and soon, this first question came out, and it turned out to be a pair.

Chu Yuanfeng took a look at the pair, and immediately felt that it was difficult to do, it turned out that this Shanglian was the grandson of Confucius, a good teacher of Mencius.

"Mencius is a good scholar, the grandson of Confucius, Si. What is this couplet? "Some of them are shallow, and they can't even break the couplets correctly, which makes everyone laugh.

Chu Yuanfeng's heart was still dexterous, and he quickly thought of the next link, but when he was about to speak. At this time, when he saw an acquaintance, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, walked over, and hurriedly said, "Third brother, why are you here?" ”

"It's you, I've been in the capital, preparing to see your sister and brother, and told your sister that I have kept the agreement and stayed for three months."

"I know, I'll talk to her, but third brother, why are you here?"

"I, I, I'm bored, just come and see." Chu Tiankuo said hesitantly, Chu Yuanfeng understood at once, and said to Chu Tiankuo: "I don't know if you have come up with the next link, third brother." ”

"This, I don't understand this, I don't know you, brother."

"So, go ahead and write this, there's nothing difficult about this couplet." Chu Yuanfeng wrote a few words in Chu Tiankuo's hand, asked Chu Tiankuo if he remembered it, Chu Tiankuo said yes, and then went to the stone boat, picked up a pen and paper and wrote it down.

A maid sent the piece of paper to the stone boat, and soon the lower link was posted, which was the one written by Chu Tiankuo.

"Wenhou Xingren has been from the prince to the king." Someone read it, and then said, "This grandson of the Reached Peace is a little untidy." ”

After saying this, someone inside pulled him by the sleeve and said to him, "Don't talk nonsense, this is a good pair." Be careful of getting into trouble with the Four Holy Divisions and causing trouble to the family. ”

Originally, some people in the vicinity also thought that this linkage was not very good, but they soon woke up to the fact that King Tai was referring to Emperor Wen, and Wang Ji was referring to the new saint. As for the end of this article, it naturally refers to the virtuous concubine.

When Chu Yuanfeng wrote this couplet, it was not a virtuous concubine after this article, but his sister, he believed that his sister could assist the saint and rule the world to peace.

Because this couplet was secretly involved in the major affairs of the imperial court, everyone did not dare to criticize themselves, so they had to admit that this couplet was good.

This is followed by the second round of the competition, which is an archery competition.

This is not a problem, many people's grandfathers here are knighted with martial arts, although not as brave as their ancestors, but archery is still good. The first to shoot a 100-step target, three-quarters of the people can shoot, the second round began to put the lotus lantern, this lotus lantern floats on the water, this difficulty is much higher.
