On the south side of Chaoyangmen Street in the east city of Jingshi, there is a branch alley, which is where the famous Jiaofang Division is located, and the nearby Yanle alley, Goolan alley, and Dengcao alley are all famous fireworks flourishing places.

Yanle Hutong Zhen Da Niang's house, the pink walls and green tiles are particularly chic, the small courtyard is full of flowing water, the weeping willows are still in the wind, and there are a few graceful figures that are divided into flowers and willows - there are quite a few convicts who have settled in the Teaching Workshop Division, and their identities are particularly sought after by wild bees and butterflies.

But no outsider dared to come to the door today, it was the old acquaintance, who walked to the door and listened to the green turban turtle boy whispering twice, and then turned around and left.

The Ministry of Officials Wen Xuan Qing Si Gu Langzhong and the three of Jiang, Yang, and Li of the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan are here, just like Zhong Kui's town house, and the ghosts and shadows don't come to the door! Even if it is a dignitary, he does not want to be bitten by this group of mad dogs.

In the pavilion facing the pond, the silk and bamboo are melodious, and occasionally there are a few words of chanting, Gu Xiancheng and his gang are all cloth clothes and scarves falling off, and mingling with the warblers and Yanyan, and everyone is accompanied by a girl.

Mrs. Zhen's family really lives up to its reputation, even if it is not all the daughter of a criminal official, at least it is also a beautiful girl, far better than the vulgar fans elsewhere, all of them are beautiful and elegant, their manners and conversations have a different charm, and their appearance is also quite beautiful, and there is no vulgar and glamorous state.

Gu Xiancheng chanted a poem, and the beauty with a small cherry mouth next to him was the first to shout, and the slender jade hand handed over the white porcelain cup: "Mr. Gu is famous all over the world, and he is especially famous when he meets today, and Suhuan serves thin wine for Mr. Shou!" ”

Jiang Dongzhi and the others cheered in unison, and Yang Keli said with a smile: "Jiangzhou Sima Qingyi is wet, and Brother Gu has the wind of Bai Lotian!" ”

"No, no," Li Zhi shook his head, and when everyone looked at him, he joked: "Bai Lotian is a pipa line, that beauty has been 'married to a businesswoman', but today Miss Suhuan is just in her youth." If you have the care of a son who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, adds fragrance to the red sleeves, and holds hands to grow old together, wouldn't it be far better than the people in Bai Lotian's poems? ”

Everyone laughed in unison, and they all said that Li Zhi "took care of the son", and the word Gu was used very appropriately.

The sisters also smiled and pouted, saying that they had never been beautiful and heroic, and they couldn't wait to ask Gu Xiancheng to leave Suhuan immediately and take him home that night.

Su Huanzhen lowered his head and was shy. Half of his cheeks were red.

Gu Xiancheng opened the folding fan and shook it twice, he was not lustful, but this situation suddenly brightened his depressed mood, and the setbacks he encountered in Qin Lin seemed to be yesterday, and the feeling of the fourth prince of Jinling was found again.

Among the Water Pavilion, there is only one person who can't let go, and that is Lian Zhiqing, the prisoner of the country.

was enlightened by everyone, and he had fully accepted Qin Lin and Xu Wenchang's argument that they were traitors, and was determined to work side by side with righteous men and gentlemen. Since then, he has not shared the sky with traitors.

But suddenly, the righteous gentlemen turned into people who looked for flowers and asked willows in the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou, and Lian Zhiqing was really a little confused. Restrained and extraordinarily restrained.

Lian Zhiqing's embarrassment was seen by everyone, Gu Xiancheng wrapped one hand around the willow waist of the Suhuan girl next to him, looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Lian Xian, my generation uses the wind and dust to entertain himself, and the eyes and ears of the eagle dog are also avoided." Besides, there are many beautiful people and beautiful people in ancient times, and the virtuous brother can shed his traces and find a soulmate here. ”

Lian Zhiqing's face was slightly red, and he arched his hand and said: "What Gu said is reasonable, Zhiqing's family is poor. He also has a chronic illness, so he rarely comes to this place of fireworks, and he doesn't understand what is going on in the dust, but he makes the gentlemen laugh. ”

The girl named Yu Pei next to him covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this: "It turns out that Mr. Lian is a sincere gentleman. The slave will serve you a cup of the reckless man. ”

Lian Zhiqing drank this cup, Gu Xiancheng nodded and smiled, Lian Zhiqing is nothing to introduce the prisoners, but there are many scholars in the Guozi Prison, and the prisoners can also be officials. There is a person in it who has the identity of a person, and he may be able to be admitted to the Jinshi in the next department, so he will fly on the branch and become a phoenix, and use this person to make a gesture of buying horse bones, and in advance in the Guozijian for the old party to clear the stream, and for him Gu Xiancheng to spread his reputation, I don't know how many juniors will become his help after entering the officialdom in the future.

is worthy of Mr. Donglin, this is far-reaching enough......

Lian Zhiqing is a hot-blooded young man, Gu Xiancheng believes that it won't be long before he can make him bow down to himself, but now that he is saying that he wants to entertain himself and avoid the eyes and ears of eagle dogs, the topic gradually turned to Qin Lin and Xu Wenchang.

"The Qin thief is cunning and despicable, he is really the big beetle of the country, and the princes of the Dao are deceived by him, which is really a big trouble for my generation!" Gu Xiancheng's eyebrows were frowned, and he was worried about the country and the people, and when he arrived, he made the warblers and Yanyan feel heartbroken, and the girl with her hands on her cheeks looked at him with affection. Jiang Dongzhi screamed with blood: "Qin Lin's committee is really dirty, and he actually attracted the degenerate literati Xu Wei as a lackey under his door, and he is the enemy of my generation of righteous men and gentlemen, how hateful is hateful!" ”

Su Huan was taken aback and asked, "The Qin Lin you are talking about, but the Qin Governor of the East Factory?" That year, the slave was in Nanjing, and when he saw him marrying Li and Xu on the same day, it was so lively. ”

Gu Xiancheng's body stiffened, and he didn't speak with a cold face.

Jiang Dongzhi looked at Su Huan with envy, so he hurriedly said: "This is the hatefulness of the Qin thief, he has to climb to a high position, he married the big-footed daughter of Wei Guogong in Nanjing, and when he arrived in Beijing, he went to slap Zhang Juzheng, the minister of power, and left the two ladies in front of him in the cold, and married Miss Zhang as the third lady, in fact, it is very ruthless and unrighteous." ”

When he spoke, Jiang Dongzhi didn't know that Qin Lin was going out of the city to hunt with Miss Xu, who was "left out in the cold", and they were having a lot of fun......

Yang Keli was also full of disdain: "If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's concubines who didn't participate in the government, I think he would still want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix!" ”

In a word, the eldest princess of Yongning, Zhu Yao, Yunying is not married......

Gu Xiancheng snorted suddenly, and said hatefully: "My generation will attack him with a drum, and sooner or later such a traitor will be punished by the imperial court!" When the time comes, the family property will be confiscated, and the wife and concubine will not be included in the teaching department, and they will not be the same as you? ”

After that, Gu Xiancheng looked at Su Huan with a smile.

Miss Suhuan was stunned, although she had a smile on her face, she sighed secretly in her heart, she thought that Gu Gongzi was a person who pitied the fragrance and cherished the jade, but she didn't expect that she would be inferior in his mind after all......

Li Zhi sighed: "Qin Lin is a martial artist, he doesn't learn and has no skills, but Xu Wenchang is cunning and wise, and he has repeatedly given advice to him, and he is really the enemy of my generation. ”

In this era, the civil and military are cheap, and the civil servants always look down on the military attachés in their hearts, and after repeated setbacks, if Li Zhi and others admit that their wisdom is inferior to Qin Lin, it is even more uncomfortable than killing them, so they would rather attribute the failure to Xu Wenchang.

After all, Qin Lin was born as an apprentice in the medical hall, and he didn't seem to have heard of any books he had read, so instead of losing in the hands of such a fortunate person, all the Qingliu gentlemen felt that they were still defeated by Xu Wenchang, the number one Jiangnan talent, and they were psychologically more acceptable.

Suddenly, everyone led by Gu Xiancheng scolded Xu Wenchang for being a shameless scum, as if this would wash away the shame of their repeated defeats to Qin Lin.

Lian Zhiqing was silent for a long time, and when he heard all the gentlemen who admired him very much express their opinions and denounce the famous sinners, his face became more and more red, and he suddenly stood up, clenched his fists, and his bones turned white, and said sharply: "If you can cut off the traitors for the country, Lian will die without regrets!" ”

The three major scoldings of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be taken aback, do you feel that today is a bit too much? Usually, everyone talks about carrying the coffin and giving advice, what kind of martial arts and death war, and Wen death advice, but it's just talking, deceiving the court staff to sell his name and sell his name, and I haven't seen anyone really die.

Gu Xiancheng smiled, knowing that hot-blooded young people like Lian Zhiqing were most likely to be aroused by blood bravery, and they were just used for their own use, and from now on, there would be a lot of help in the country's prison.

So Gu Xiancheng became more and more impassioned, the scene became more and more lively, and Jiang Dongzhi and the others also hurriedly followed, all of them blushing and thick-necked, as if they were going to rush out in the next moment and beat Qin Lin and Xu Wenchang to death.

However, Su Huan, Yu Pei and other girls watched coldly, and kept pouring wine and offering fruits, but they were very funny in their hearts, and the adults who ran to the Goolan courtyard to worry about the country and the people were obviously not just Gu Xiancheng's group, the girls had already seen a lot, and it was better to make poetry more interesting to them.

The sound of light footsteps came, and Li Rusong strode to the outside of the water pavilion, and laughed loudly: "Gentlemen, are you very interested?" Come on, come on, let's see which literary seniors the younger brother has invited. ”

"General Li has arrived," Gu Xiancheng smiled, and everyone in the Water Pavilion stopped.

Xiaojing officials live a hard life, except for Gu Xiancheng, who has the great power to elect officials and investigate officials, and Jiangdongzhi's three metropolitan procuratorates scold the generals, they are really poor masters, how can they have spare money to sell gold caves like Zhen Da Niangzi's house? I'm afraid that Gu Xiancheng will be reluctant.

It was Li Rusong of Liaodong who invited them.

The Li family is rich, not ordinarily rich.

In the Ming Dynasty, because the Mongol tribes occupied a large area north of Jimen, Liaodong was connected to the Central Plains by the narrow Liaoxi corridor, and the location was very remote.

Li Chengliang did the general army of Liaodong, the power is far greater than the general soldiers of other places, almost the emperor of Liaodong, the army, the price of horses, the salt class, the city reward, the benefits of the whole Liao merchants and people into their own cages, he fought a great war, arrogant and lascivious is also powerful, the prostitutes reached as many as 2,000 people, with dozens of sachets embellished with garter belts, and through the jewelry, the cost of a belt, to the pattern of silver thirty or forty, dozens of steps away, that is, the fragrance strikes people, can be described as poor and luxurious.

Li Rusong has such a father, his pocket will never be deflated, he came to Beijing to seek reinstatement, and naturally he was willing to spend a lot of money to invite Gu Xiancheng and others to this gold cave.

"Come on, come on, teacher, please," Li Rusong smiled and invited the old-timers in the literary world forward.

Everyone was stunned.
