When they arrived at the hill, the family found a slightly flat place, asked Baofu and Dou'er to spread out a blanket, put down the wine and food they brought, and sat down around.

As soon as I drank two cups, I heard the singing of Sizhu and the woman not far away.

Xu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, enjoying the warm spring sunshine, and the tactful voice of the woman in the distance sang straight to his heart, and he couldn't help but be intoxicated.

Zhang Sanniang saw Xu Zheng's appearance, and when she heard the voice again, she couldn't help but get angry in her heart, and scolded hatefully: "Who is so shameless, he doesn't even leave a quiet place for people." ”

After a while, after the song was sung, there was a burst of applause.

Xu Ping heard it and said to his parents: "Why is there a sound that sounds familiar?" ”

Xu Zheng and his wife naturally knew that at this time, the official eunuch doctor liked to take female prostitutes out to play, and his son had also read sage books for a few years and composed two poems, so he was also a reader.

glanced at each other, and said to Xu Ping: "Da Lang might as well go over and have a look, what if it's really an acquaintance?" ”

Xu Ping was curious, so he stood up, said goodbye to his parents, and followed the voice to find him.

This hill was originally a peninsula, and the Jinming Pond was surrounded by water, and there was a wider water surface there. Not far from the water's edge on the other side of the mountain, there is a large flat land planted with peach and apricot trees, and flowers are in full bloom.

In the shade of flowers and trees, there are several piles of people scattered. In the midst of the crowd there were seven or eight young prostitutes, some playing the harp, some playing the flute and singing and dancing, and two playing the lute on one side.

Xu Ping's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw Shi Yannian and a few people sitting on the side with the two of them. One on the main throne is Zhang Zhibai, and the other is a middle-aged man, who looks in his thirties and is graceful and luxurious. There was also a monk sitting with Shi Yannian, who was white and clean, with a delicate face, and he couldn't tell his age. The two men on the throne were obviously of high status, and behind them stood several servants and soldiers, waiting carefully.

There are also three people who left a little, one of them is Lin Wensi, and the two people around him are an elderly man and a teenager. These people were obviously much lower in status, and there were only two old servants standing behind them.

If you leave a little farther, there will be a large number of people, ordering drinking, which is the most lively. One of them, Xu Ping, recognized that it was Liu Sanchang, who had a one-sided relationship. Looking at their appearance, they should be a group of literary circles.

Xu Ping bypassed the hill, went to Lin Wensi first, and saluted.

Lin Wensi looked at Xu Ping and asked, "How did you come here?" ”

Xu Ping said: "Today's daylight is good, and our family also came out to breathe." ”

Lin Wensi nodded, and didn't ask where the rest of the Xu family was. The people present were all scholars, and Xu Zheng, who sold wine and opened a shop, was not suitable for this occasion.

Pointing to the old man next to him, Lin Wensi said to Xu Ping: "This is Shiguanren, and I have known each other for many years. Although Shi Guanren was born as a Jinshi, he is especially good at three times, and his righteousness is profound. ”

Xu Ping came up and saluted, and Lin Wensi told him about his identity.

The old man said: "Old man Shi Bing, this is the dog Shi Jie, you are the same age, you can get close." ”

Xu Ping and Shi Jiexiang met, so they also sat down next to him. Although Shi Yannian over there is an old acquaintance, the person he accompanies is obviously not an ordinary person, and it is difficult to go over without summoning him.

After sitting down, Xu Ping asked Lin Wensi: "Teacher, why are there so many people gathered here?" There is nothing special about the surrounding scenery. ”

Lin Wensi smiled: "It's an interesting thing to say. Recently, a scholar from Huzhou, Zhang Xian and Zhang Ziye, traveled to the capital, this person is also famous for his new words of good governance, and Liu Sanbian and Liu Sanbian hit it off at first sight in the capital. Today, the two of them came out hand in hand to visit Jinmingchi, and when they came here, they met Zhang Xian, a Jinshi who was the first last year. The two have the same surname, the same name and the same character, which is considered a great fate, so they set up a banquet here. Liu Zhang and Zhang are both today's top lyricists, so we are also here to join in the fun. ”

Xu Ping looked over there, and sure enough, there was a young man in his early thirties beside Liu Sanbian, with a white face and no beard, dressed in a green shirt, and he looked extremely chic. This is good in the previous life, there are not many serious historical figures in the books to remember, but literary stars are the key to remember. Zhang Xian's name Xu Ping happens to have an impression, and he is a milestone figure in the history of the development of Song Ci like Liu Sanbian, especially when he took a concubine at the age of eighty, Su Shi ridiculed his sentence "A pear flower presses begonia", which is widely spread, and it is really a famous sentence through the ages.

However, now Zhang Xian is only in his early thirties, and he is the same cloth as Liu Sanbian, and he hasn't even passed the Huzhou Liberation Test, but he has just traveled to the capital, and he hasn't been so funny.

As for the other Zhang Xian, he is older, and he is burly and has a slightly dark complexion, so he doesn't have the bearing of another Yushu in the wind. But he was born in Jiangmen, his grandfather was Zhang Xun, who had been a privy deputy envoy, and he was a senior in high school last year, so his identity is much more noble. It's just a vassal elegance, getting together with those two people, and singing the new words of two lyricists with a group of **.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Xu Ping asked again: "Who is sitting with Shi Yannian and Zhang Xianggong over there?" ”

Lin Wensi whispered: "That's Uncle Yan Tong of the Magistrate's Academy, recently because of Zhang Xianggong's recommendation, Shi Manqing changed his civilian position and was about to be released. Zhang Xianggong's face, I want to choose a better place. ”

Xu Ping couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man twice, Yan Shuzi is the same uncle, at this time, he was the judge of the Hanlin Academy, but he didn't expect that the three Song Ci families at this time would run into each other inexplicably today. However, Yan Shu has a rich life, and he will not be mixed with a group of female prostitutes, this kind of tune has the best prostitutes in the house, singing when he wants, dancing and dancing when he wants, playing as much as he wants behind closed doors, and will not let people see jokes in public. If you get entangled with official prostitutes for a long time, you will be impeached, and no one cares what the prostitutes you want to do with the prostitutes you buy.

Shi Yannian was originally a military officer in the third class, but he was not as good as Li Yonghe, and the promotion and the like were under the control of the Privy Council, and if the civil position was changed, the relationship would go to the Inquisition's Court, and the entire organizational relationship had changed. The Song Dynasty respected the text, of course, it was not as obvious as later at this time, but it was also a great thing to change the text with martial arts, and it all relied on Zhang Zhibai to give Shi Yannian a roundabout.

After drinking a few glasses of wine and gossiping for a while, there was a burst of applause from Zhang Xian and Liu Sanbian. A few people turned their heads to see that a female prostitute playing the pipa was happily taking a piece of paper from Zhang Xian's hand and carefully putting it away like a baby. At this time, prostitutes are invited to drink, and slightly famous lyricists will be asked by female prostitutes, especially names. The prostitutes who were about to arrive were overjoyed, and their worth doubled from then on. If they don't arrive, some will inevitably get angry and chew their tongues behind their backs and say bad things. Xu Ping has stayed away from this thing since he half-copied and half-changed a poem last time, and it is difficult to compose lyrics according to the situation and not to say it, the key is that he does not understand the rhythm. The poetic literati of this era have just emerged, and they are not popular, and they are written in a dashing manner in front of a large number of people, but a little girl takes it in her hand and says you can't sing it, how embarrassing it should be.

When I got the new words, a bunch of prostitutes tuned the orchestra, stroked the lute, and sang in a moment:

"Vermilion powder does not need to be applied, and the flower branches are small. Spring preference. Delicate near-victory. Light Luo red fog drooping.

Pipa gold painting phoenix. Double strip weight. Tired eyebrows lowered. The pecking sound is late. Wasps fly up. ”

It turned out to be a song "Drunken Whip", sung by a little girl, tactful and beautiful, accompanied by bright spring light, it is really intoxicating for flowers and people. I have to admire that the literati have taste, and this tone is much more stylish than Xu's previous life when he was roaring all over the sky in entertainment venues.

The little girl who got the word looked to be only in her early tens, obviously not developed, and only a child, not much different in age from Su'er and Xiuxiu. Xu Ping looked at Zhang Xian, who was in his thirties, and couldn't understand how he could have so many thoughts about such a child, so he could only shake his head.

After singing the song, everyone applauded again.

Shi Yannian looked at the lyrics over there, turned his head and found Xu Ping, thought for a while, and then confessed to Zhang Zhibai and Yan Shu: "There is an acquaintance of a student over there, I'll go say hello, and I'll come when I go." ”

Zhang Zhibai saw that it was Xu Ping, smiled and pointed at Xu Ping to Yan Shu and said: "Uncle Tong, the young man over there is Xu Ping, who caused a dispute over the tea law a few days ago. ”

Yan Shu nodded: "Since we are familiar with each other, it is better to call for two cups of drinking." ”

Shi Yannian responded, got up and came to Xu Ping's side.

Xu Ping hurriedly stood up and responded. Shi Yannian met Lin Wensi and Shi Bing, and said to Xu Ping: "The two ministers over there invite Yun Xing to drink two glasses of wine." ”

Xu Ping was stunned for a moment before asking, "What kind of wine do you drink?" ”

Shi Yannian smiled bitterly: "It's the best lamb wine, but I don't taste good when I drink it." ”

Xu Ping thought for a while, and handed the jar of liquor brought in front of him to Shi Yannian: "You still drink this, isn't it a crime to drink those wines?" ”

Zhang Zhibai is already old, Yan Shu was born in wealth, pays attention to health, liquor is not used to drinking, only Shi Yannian has a dissolute personality, likes to drink spirits, and is not drunk or happy. It is really difficult for him to drink with such two people.

Shi Yannian put the small white wine jar in his sleeve, took Xu Ping back to the banquet, and introduced it to the two.

Xu Ping saw the ceremony, and Zhang Zhibai smiled: "You made a lot of noise a few days ago, and even the queen mother and the emperor were alarmed. What, is the money going back? ”

Xu Ping knew that Zhang Zhibai was the first to mention his family's affairs in the court, and hurriedly thanked him: "I haven't thanked the prime minister for his help." The money has been given, and it was sent by the palace attendants ordered by the emperor. ”

Zhang Zhibai nodded with a smile and motioned for Xu Ping and Shi Yannian to sit down together.

Shi Yannian took out the small jar of liquor from his sleeve and said to Yan Shu: "Bachelor, Yun Xing's family is making wine, especially this soju is a must-have in the capital, you can also taste it." ”

After speaking, he took a new bowl and poured a small half bowl for Yanshu.

Yanshu picked up the bowl, sniffed it on the end of his nose, and said with a slight smile: "I have also heard of this wine, and Captain Cao Baochen especially admires it, and often asks his family to bring him to his appointment." But I can't drink it, but I can't drink it. ”

After saying that, he put the bowl aside and did not drink.

Shi Yannian smiled awkwardly: "That student had to drink it himself." ”

After drinking two glasses of wine, Yan Shu asked about what Xu Ping had learned. Xu Ping's stomach is full of knowledge, which is basically related to agriculture and industry, and the poetry and songs of this era are only slightly understood, and the real work is only the content of the imperial examination, and other miscellaneous studies are almost ignorant, where can I say anything? After asking a few words, Yan Shu was already slightly disappointed in his heart, and said that you are still young, as long as you are studious, you will not say anything anymore.

As for agricultural crops, Yan Shu has entered the office, basically serving as a pavilion in the Qing Dynasty, basically knows nothing, and has little interest in how Xu Ping farms. On the contrary, Zhang Zhibai has been in the sea for a long time, served as a pro-people official for a long time, and took the right path of the Song Dynasty, and also discussed the matter of planting rice with Xu Ping with great interest.

Shi Yannian held back for a long time, and after a while he drank all the liquor, he gradually became a little drunk.

Zhang Zhibai said to Shi Yannian: "Manqing's career is not smooth, and he has been in the capital for ten years, but fortunately, his will will not change. This time, he was transferred to a civilian position, and he was presided over by a banquet bachelor, and he was released to Jinxiang Renzhi County, although the official position is small, but he is really a pro-people official, and he must not be sloppy. Although the county of 100 miles is small, the civil and military are complete, as long as you do your best, there is a performance, is the foundation of your career in the future. ”

Shi Yannian got up and said, "Listen to the teachings of Xianggong!" ”

He has only been a low-level military attache in the capital for so many years, and it is false to say that he is not wronged, but now that he is finally bright, he is inevitably excited. I also remembered that if I hadn't had an accident back then, I would have been born as a Jinshi, and I would have far surpassed my official position at this time at the beginning, and I was afraid that I would have touched the edge of Zhizhou at this time, and I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Xu Ping saw that he was already a little redundant here, so he raised his wine glass and said to Shi Yannian: "I wish Brother Shi this time to go to Pengcheng!" ”

Shi Yannian thanked him, raised his head and drank the wine.

Xu Ping was opposite him, but he saw that there were some tears in Shi Yannian's eyes. The official journey is like a ship on the sea, treacherous, I don't know when it's cloudy, I don't know when it's sunny, maybe if you're not careful, a big wave will break your bones, and it's not so easy and comfortable.

With more knowledge than the people here, Xu Ping knows more about the dangers of the world, and looking at Shi Yannian's sad and joyful appearance, he can't help but sigh in his heart.

Pouring another bowl of wine, Xu Ping said: "Brother Shi is famous in the capital for his poems, and my class has an axe, so I will send you to Jingdong with a song of seven uniques."

The clear water has no waves, and the old dragon is slightly whirring and the waves are dewy.

Zhijun went for a thousand miles, and Kunpeng spread his wings and shocked the world. ”
