Some people want to eat chicken, and some people have stewed chicken in front of them but they don't know the taste, and they sigh for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Canglu County is located in a remote place, and the real erudite Confucianism does not have it, and even if there is, the small place cannot be kept, and it has long since left. Lin Shangpo is also quite a learned person in the county, so he also received an invitation.
With meat and vegetables on the table, Lin Shangpo lifted the chopsticks and put them down, picked up the invitation card on the side and looked at it repeatedly, as if he wanted to see the flowers, and finally left the table with the invitation, threw down his wife and children on the dining table, and wandered around the bamboo forest outside the house.
Mrs. Lin quickly followed and asked, "The county lord's invitation, others can't get it, why are you so worried?"
Lin Shangpo shook his head and sighed: "The capital is the place where the real celebrities and scholars gather, the county lord has never seen anything, where are there any people who are proficient in poetry in this small place, and it is an excuse to meet friends with poetry." Haven't you seen the recent movements in Canglu County? The rich family has almost been copied all over, and the prince is clearly accumulating money, and our family is quite wealthy.
Mrs. Lin suddenly said nervously: "What should I do then?"
Lin Shangpo sighed: "What else can I do? I was targeted, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to run......
The white-walled Su Mansion is a rare famous family in the county, and the old man Su Dekang is also a well-known learned person in Canglu County, who studied in the capital in his early years, and is said to be a classmate of a certain feudal official when he was young, and his ancestor is also a person who has been a court official, and now his family business is also regarded as Yu Ze of Mengzu.
Among the people who went back to welcome the Shang Dynasty Sect last time, Su Dekang went in a carriage, but he didn't say anything about a bloody scene, but he finally walked back, and he was forced to walk so far at a young age, and he almost lost his life. Fortunately, he came back alive, and Su Mansion is one of the few people who has not been raided, and there is no danger.
The housekeeper held the invitation in his hand and accompanied Su Dekang, who was walking in the courtyard on crutches, and asked, "Master, what does it mean that this county lord has made a friend with poetry?"
The crutches poked the ground, and Su Dekang snorted coldly: "What else can it be, it's nothing more than killing too much and trying to buy people's hearts, and deliberately acting like it for others to see!"
Butler: "Master, to go or not to go?"
Su Dekang pondered for a moment, and sighed: "I'm also in a dilemma! If I don't go, the lives of the family are worried! Go, this king of Yongping County is clearly a chaotic minister and thief, plotting against him, once the imperial army comes, it will definitely collapse, and then my Su family will be labeled as a traitor, and if it is not good, it will be liquidated......
In Canglu County, which was approaching the evening, there was a slight commotion because of the scattering of more than a dozen invitations.
Jing Mo Xuan, Lu Shengzhong stood at the door and gave his hands politely, and finally sent away the neighbors who came to see the excitement left and right.
The reason is naturally because of the invitation, the people in the shops on the left and right saw the officers and soldiers riding horses to deliver the invitation to Lu Shengzhong, and when they heard that the officers and soldiers said that it was an invitation sent by the county lord, they naturally aroused a burst of amazement and onlookers.
After getting clean, he walked back to the back of the counter, Lu Shengzhong opened the invitation and looked at it carefully for a while, and finally the invitation was put into his sleeve, like a nobody.
When night fell, he lit only one of the two lanterns at the door.
About half an hour later, a customer entered the shop and stayed for a while before leaving......
Early the next morning, Niu Youdao opened the door, and as expected, Shang Shuqing was already waiting outside the door.
"Master Dao, morning. ”
"Lord, morning. ”
Without saying much, Niu Youdao first opened all the windows to show light, and then consciously sat in front of the dresser.
Shang Shuqing also walked behind him naturally and began to help him fix his hair.
Normally, Shang Shuqing would say something every time she came, but this time she didn't say a word until she helped Niu Youdao fix her hair.
In the end, Niu Youdao stared at the person in the mirror and asked, "The county lord is not going to ask something?"
Shang Shuqing asked rhetorically, "Will Dao Ye tell me?"
Niu Youdao: "Actually, I didn't hide it from you, it's all your people who do things." ”
Shang Shuqing: "But I'm still confused." ”
Niu Youdao: "Every day there is the county lord like this, I really don't want to go, how about going back and asking the county lord to watch a play?"
Shang Shuqing blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay!"
The golden light of the rising sun is all over the forest, and at the foot of the mountain outside the city, those who received the invitation yesterday are those who come by ox carts, those who sit in sedan chairs, and those who hike.
Lu Shengzhong came on foot, wearing a soft hat, and looked around from time to time. He heard a little wind last night, and he knew that he was not the only one who received the invitation, which made him let his guard down.
At this time, all the people who received the invitations were waiting in a long pavilion at the bottom of the mountain, and the visitors were holding the invitations and greeting each other. The county seat is so big, even if you don't know each other, most of them have known each other in person. Only Lu Shengzhong seems to be more unusual, everyone is very unfamiliar, and when he learned that it was the new shopkeeper of Jingmoxuan, some people inevitably asked where the original shopkeeper went, and Lu Shengzhong naturally had a well-arranged rhetoric.
In the process of waiting, everyone had different expressions, some with stiff faces and no words, some with solemn expressions, and some with excited expressions, and the topic of discussion was nothing more than the county lord's meeting friends with poetry this time.
Lu Shengzhong didn't say much, he always smiled slightly, he was polite to everyone, listening to everyone's talk, but he was muttering in his heart, "Meet friends with poetry?"
He can also understand why Shang Shuqing made a friend with poetry, Shang Shuqing is an unmarried woman after all, and it is impossible to see him alone as a man.
It's just that I don't know how to meet friends with poetry this time, and he has prepared another of the two poems sent to him by Song Yanqing here, which will definitely attract Shang Shuqing's attention even more. I don't know if that cow Youdao will show up, if he shows up, will there be a chance to start, and will he be able to get out safely if he does?
Just as his thoughts were turning, a plainclothes guard entered the long pavilion and said to everyone with a smile on his face: "You have been waiting for a long time, and you have been neglected. ”
"It's okay!" some people are polite, and some people are silent.
The guard was not verbose, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Everyone, the county lord is invited, please come with me!"
Everyone came out of the long pavilion one after another, but was told that the entourage and the means of transportation were not allowed to enter the mountain, and they needed to go on foot, saying that it was the rules here, and everyone had no choice, and some things were not chosen by them, so they had to abide by them.
On the way, there are Yaxing people, all the way to praise the scenery, Zhong Lingyuxiu, the land of the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger, etc.
Su Dekang, who is a lot older, can't get up in Yaxing, although the road into the mountain is not rugged and there are no steps, but it is slowly winding up, which is equivalent to climbing all the way, and he is naturally a little unbearable at this age. However, in this case, there is naturally no shortage of respected old people, and there are younger people to support them left and right.
When I came to the heavily guarded mountain villa, I was already on the top of the mountain where I could see the entire county.
When everyone entered the villa, the man kneeling on one side of the door made many people mutter, and they didn't know what mistake they had made, and they looked haggard.
After everyone was taken to the main garden in the villa, the guards smiled at everyone again: "Here is a private room for everyone to rest, there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the county lord first asks you to leave ink treasures, poems and songs, limited to half an hour, after half an hour, the county lord will come here to meet with everyone to enjoy what they have done." ”
Regardless of whether everyone agreed or not, a group of subordinates had already come over, and each invited one person to go with him.
Someone happily threw his hand at everyone, "Everyone, see you in half an hour!"
Lu Shengzhong followed the person into the depths of the garden, his eyes kept secretly looking left and right, and he had been paying attention to the internal environment since he entered the manor.
Everywhere he went was a quiet little pavilion nestled deep in the garden, and he was led into the pavilion, poured tea and invited him to take care of himself, and then withdrew.
Lu Shengzhong looked around the pavilion, the tea and fruit points were complete, and there were neat pen, ink, paper and inkstones placed on the case.
Slowly turned around in the small pavilion, did not touch the tea and fruits, walked to the side of the case, dripping inkstone, and slowly grinding the ink.
Just as he was about to leave another poem given by Song Yanqing, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and four people came in. A woman wearing a veil, a middle-aged man holding a sword, with white hair like silver frost, and a calm expression, and a slightly lazy young man, when he entered, the sword in his hand casually slammed to the ground, followed by a tall young man with an indifferent expression.
With just a glance, Lu Shengzhong probably identified the identities of several people, when Shang Chaozong first arrived in Canglu County and just entered the city, Lu Shengzhong met Niu Youdao in the crowd, but he didn't expect to see the target as soon as he came to the villa. But he didn't dare to make a move, the white-haired man with the sword in his arms made his heartstrings tense secretly, for fear of being seen something.
As soon as he saw someone coming, Lu Shengzhong hurriedly went around the long case to perform the salute, and the Confucian behaving was decent.
Niu Youdao introduced Shang Shuqing with a smile, "Mr. Fang Ping, right?
Lu Shengzhong hurriedly saluted: "The villain greets the county lord!"
Shang Shuqing gestured with her chin in motion, muttering in her heart, I don't know what kind of play Niu Youdao invited herself to watch.
Niu Youdao stretched out his hand, invited Shang Shuqing to sit down after the case, and he and Yuan Gang guarded Shang Shuqing's left and right, while Bai Yao quietly moved behind Lu Shengzhong, making Lu Shengzhong uncomfortable.
"I heard that Mr. Fang Ping's poems are well written?" Niu Youdao asked with a smile again.
Lu Shengzhong said modestly: "Don't dare, it's difficult to get into the hall of elegance." ”
Niu Youdao said with a smile: "I also wrote a poem, and I would like to ask Mr. for advice." ”
Lu Shengzhong said politely: "I don't dare to advise, I am willing to listen." ”
Niu Youdao seemed to think about it for a while, and continued to smile and groan: "Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud. Take the second flower bush lazy review, half of the edge of the cultivation and half of the king... I wonder how I wrote this poem?"
"......" Lu Shengzhong looked at him in amazement, and said in his heart, is this trying to pressure me to plagiarize for myself?
Shang Shuqing also looked at Niu Youdao with some suspicion.
