Lin Yanchao, Chen Xinggui, and Huang Biyou spent the night in a meditation room.

When they woke up the next day, Chen Xinggui and Huang Biyou were both talking to Lin Yanchao about the dream they had last night.

Chen Xinggui said first: "I dreamed last night that a man in a lily robe was fishing by the river. ”

As soon as Chen Xinggui was halfway through his words, Huang Biyou clapped his hands and said, "Angler, this must be Jiang Shang!" He wants to tell you that the way to fame is to take it from the straight rather than seek it from the song. ”

Chen Xinggui said angrily: "Can you let me finish my words." ”

Huang Biyou smiled and said: "Could it be that I am not right, it is neither Jiang Taigong, but also Yan Ziling, you see whether the fisherman is white-haired or black-haired, white-haired is Jiang Taigong, black-haired is Yan Ziling, okay, Brother Chen, you say, I won't say it." ”

Chen Xinggui said disdainfully: "I don't know it's white hair and black hair, I only remember that old man I dreamed twice in one night!" ”

"Twice!" Lin Yanchao and Huang Biyou were all surprised.

Chen Xinggui recalled: "Once it was at night, the fisherman saw me, so he took out the fishing rod to me, I thought that he wanted to say that it is better to teach him to fish than to teach him to fish, where do I know that he said, you will take the township test in the coming year!" ”

Huang Biyou was surprised: "This is so good, the township test must be taken, which means that you will have to succeed in the county test and the government test this year!" ”

Lin Yanchao also hugged his fists and said, "Brother Chen, congratulations!" This is a good dream! ”

Chen Xinggui smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's not that I haven't finished speaking. ”

Huang Biyou asked anxiously: "Yes, what will the fisherman tell you next night?" ”

"At night, I dreamed of the fisherman again, and the fisherman immediately stretched out his hand to me and shouted to me, "Give me back the rod."

After Chen Xinggui finished speaking, Lin Yanchao. Huang Biyou and both of them laughed heartily. Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Brother Chen, you should hold the fishing rod, and say the opposite, you play me, the previous dream is true!" ”

Then the two asked Huang Biyou what dream he had last night.

Huang Biyou was stunned for a while and said: "My dream is strange, I dreamed of one day." I wore a green robe, a round neck, straight sleeves, a student sword pinned to my waist, and rode a large blue and white mule......"

"Brother Huang, please get to the point!" Lin Yanchao immediately interrupted.

Huang Biyou nodded and said: "I wasn't just about to say that I was walking on a small road at that time, there were no big trees on both sides of the road, and I had been walking for a long time, but I saw the end of the road." There was a very strange sight that puzzled me. ”

"Biyou, do you know that you've been talking nonsense so far? Just say what you see? Chen Xinggui couldn't help it.

Huang Biyou said: "Do you know what I see, I see an old well sandwiched between two locust trees at the end of the road!" You say it's weird or not! ”

Lin Yanchao and Chen Xinggui both looked at each other, and then said in unison: "It's not weird at all!" ”

Huang Biyou said: "No, you don't know. There must be some meaning in this dream, indicating how I will pass the government test! ”

Lin Yanchao. What Chen Xinggui and the others said, Huang Biyou also didn't believe it. At that moment, the two asked Lin Yanchao, you slept in the meditation room all night last night, did you have any dreams?

Lin Yanchao glanced at the two of them and said, "Two, you snored all night last night, and one of you was in the middle of the night." In the middle of the night, one after another, do you think it is possible for me to have a good dream? ”

Huang Biyou and Chen Xinggui were embarrassed when they heard it.

Chen Xinggui said: "Brother Lin, I kindly dragged you here." I didn't expect this to keep you awake all night, and you should have woken us up. ”

Lin Yanchao spread his hands and said: "Wake you up, you can't dream, besides, this happened, so you can either endure it or get out, but you can't be ruthless!" ”

Chen Xinggui and Huang Biyou were all moved when they heard it, and said, "Brother Lin is really a kind person!" ”

Lin Yanchao said secretly, I can say that this is the experience I summed up from my dormitory life back then.

After staying in the temple for one night, the three of them took the Chen family's carriage back to the city and went straight to the South Garden. Today, Chen Xinggui's cousin Chen Zhenlong invited the government to visit the garden. Lin Yanchao has long heard that this South Park is a famous garden attraction in the provincial capital.

Hearing Chen Xinggui say this, Lin Yanchao also wanted to see it, and at the same time socialize with his peers.

The carriage went out of the south gate of the provincial capital, that is, the tea pavilion.

There was a monk in those years, because of the scorching heat in summer, so a pavilion was set up here, so the descendants named it the tea pavilion.

This is the road that must pass through the south gate of the provincial capital, from the south gate to the street of Jixiang Mountain, it is the main road to and from the city, where the appointment, the examination, the post and the passing pedestrians have to pass through this to enter and exit the city. Lin Yanchao looked outside the car curtain and saw that this street was even more prosperous than Hongtang Market.

However, Lin Yanchao only glanced at it from a distance, and the carriage immediately carried them across the Horse Washing Bridge, which is said to be the place where officials washed their horses before entering the city. The South Park, which was built in Ximaqiao, was an industry purchased by Chen Jin, Changle County, Fuzhou Prefecture, the champion of Jiajing in the 32nd year.

The South Park is built along the river, and the forests are lush and green, and there are countless pavilions and pavilions.

Chen Jin, the champion of the prince, has already died of illness now, and the guards of the year demanded money and made a rebellion, plundered the official eunuchs of Chengtai, and also disturbed Chen Jin's mansion. Chen Jin was worried at home at that time and went out to persuade him. Due to the lack of dignity in his body, he was injured by the rebels in the chaos and died of illness after being bedridden for a month. The death of the dignified champion Yuanlang at the hands of the soldiers caused a great sensation at the time, and Wang Daokun, the governor of Fujian Province, was impeached and removed from office by the imperial history.

After Chen Jin died, he left only one son, Chen Yiyu. Chen Yiyu was young and couldn't keep such a big property, so he was ready to sell it, and it happened that fellow villager Chen Zhenlong was willing to buy this garden.

Chen Zhenlong is not only willing to buy this South Park, but also willing to continue to lend it to Chen Yiyu's family to live.

At present, Chen Yiyu, the son of the champion father, is greeting guests in front of the garden gate.

He saw Chen Xinggui and said with a smile: "Isn't this your brother?" ”

Chen Yiyu was the second in the Changle County test before the year, but he failed in the government test, and he studied at home for two years this year, and he consciously made great progress in his articles, and also participated in the government test. In order to be grateful to Chen Zhenlong, Chen Yiyu also continued the score, calling each other brothers, Chen Xinggui, who was Chen Zhenlong's cousin, also called Chen Yiyu his brother.

Chen Xinggui said with a smile: "Brother Yiyu, let me introduce to you, these two are friends who participated in this government examination with me. ”

Lin Yanchao, Huang Biyou and Chen Yiyu exchanged their names, and Chen Xinggui said with a smile: "Brother Yiyu, treat me today, I don't know if there's anything fun?" ”

Chen Yiyu smiled and said: "Of course there is, but you don't have to be busy boating in the garden first, there will be a poetry club Shi Changjun, Dong Xiaoshuang will come, you want to see the style of our house test scholars, you have to give me ten things, after the poetry meeting, and then watch Kunqu Opera, chess is up to you." ”

Shi Changjun? Dong Xiaoshuang?

Chen Xinggui couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Chen is really powerful, even Shi Changjun, a famous girls' school in the provincial capital, has been invited, and he is really happy today." ”

As he spoke, everyone walked into the garden, but when they saw the well-behaved subordinates, they led them forward from the long waterfront corridor.

The scenery on the waterfront promenade is very good, there is a pool of blue at the feet, and there are carved beams and painted buildings in front of you, but halfway through, the person who led the way lowered his body and said: "Uncle is here!" ”

Lin Yanchao turned his head to look, but saw a man in a Confucian robe striding over, and this person was surrounded by a dozen literati wearing two-winged hats and holding folding fans.

The elegant man came to Chen Xinggui and said with a loud smile: "You are here." ”

Lin Yanchao remembered that in the past, Chen Xinggui was at ease when he saw anyone, but when he saw this person, he said very respectfully: "Big brother is calling, how dare I be absent." ”

Lin Yanchao suddenly understood that this person was Chen Xinggui's cousin Chen Zhenlong.

Chen Zhenlong smiled, turned his head and said to the literati behind him: "The scenery here is very good, you each prepare a pleasant poem, and if you write it well, you will choose a painting to put on the corridor." ”

It turned out that the group of literati were the legendary Qing guest ministers, and Lin Yanchao still took them as his goal at the beginning.

But these Qingke listened to Chen Zhenlong's words, and said very cowardly: "Where do I have good poems, now a few Lang Jun are here, and they don't dare to offer ugliness, this poem is to invite a few Lang Jun to mention it." ”

Chen Zhenlong said with a smile: "I raised you for nothing, so it's okay, just ask the guests to write a poem each." ”

Huang Biyou has the intention to show off, so he was the first to mention it at the moment.

came down, Chen Xinggui also smiled and mentioned a poem.

Lin Yanchao thought about it for a long time in the end, and also made a poem, he thought about it the longest, but the poem was mediocre.

Chen Zhenlong also shook his head when he saw Lin Yanchao's poems, and said in his heart, these two people's poems are mediocre, why do my brothers call them brothers. On the other hand, the Qing guest praised it nonsense for a while, and praised Chen Xinggui's poems as literary talents.

Lin Yanchao took Chen Xinggui's poem and read it, and immediately understood that to be a good guest, you must first learn to pat on the back!

After parting with each other, Chen Xinggui couldn't help but say to Lin Yanchao: "Brother Lin, you don't know the origin of my eldest brother, the richest person in the entire provincial capital, he is not among the five fingers, why don't you seize the opportunity!" ”

Lin Yanchao suddenly realized that Chen Xinggui wanted to introduce himself to Chen Zhenlong. Lin Yanchao said: "Brother Chen misunderstood, I'm really not good at poetry." ”

Chen Xinggui patted his leg and said: "I forgot this stubble, Brother Lin's strength is in Jingyi, but now the scholars have to sing poems and sing peace, Brother Lin can't write a current article in the court, which attracts people's attention!" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "I can't help this, not to mention that I don't like singing poetry and harmony." It's better that Brother Chen doesn't greet us, I won't go to this poetry meeting, let me go boating in the garden alone. ”

Chen Xinggui hurriedly said: "Brother Lin, don't be like this, my brother invited you to come here to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." Come with me, this Shi Changjun and Dong Xiaoshuang are all wonderful! There is also a government test is coming, don't you even want to meet the heroes of the counties? ”

Chen Xinggui dragged Lin Yanchao away, while Huang Biyou looked at Chen Zhenlong and his group of Qingke with a clear face, and sneered: "What's the big deal about this, businessman, hire some scholars to hold his stinky feet, it's great?" Hum! No matter how rich he is, it's just Shen Wansan! (To be continued......)
