Jiangnan Road Taiping Mansion.
Second Master Wen visited the Temple of Literature, enjoyed the scenery for two more days, walked up to Lingyun Tower, picked a corner with a wide perspective, asked for food and wine, motioned Kong Da to sit down and accompany him, crossed Erlang's legs, and sipped tea and wine with a leisurely face.
As soon as the dishes were served, Lu Fu, who was a full circle darker than when he first set off from the capital, entered Lingyun Tower, twisted his head to look around, Kong Da hurriedly stood up and beckoned, "Here." ” Lu Fu took a few steps over, bowed down to salute, Second Master Wen looked at the black and thin Lu Fu with some surprise, and hurriedly signaled to him, "Hurry up and eat before you sit down to eat." ” "It's all dry food these days, sir, you're welcome to be small."
Lu Fu first filled a bowl of soup, he was not afraid of being hot, he exhaled and drank, and then filled another bowl, Kong Da had already asked him for a plate of oil cakes, Lu Fu tore it and soaked it in the soup, ate two bowls in a row, and sighed comfortably, "It's really comfortable to have soup and water." ” "Just arrived home" Second Master Wen motioned to Kong Da to make a cup of tea for Lu Fu, Lu Fu nodded, "I just arrived, and I said that my master came to Lingyun Tower, and I didn't dare to wait at home, so I rushed over." ” "How" "It's all clear."
Lu Fu smiled, "I arrived in the evening, rested all night, and before noon the next day, Huang Tou'er copied out the booklet and gave it to me, but Huang Tou'er said that it was not necessarily good, I was afraid that the wrong place would miss the master's big event, and I couldn't think of any good way, so I had to read it one by one, but fortunately, there were not many people." ” "You've read it all," Kong Da blurted out in surprise, "That's it" "It's okay, I'm afraid of delaying my master's business, so I hurried day and night, but I didn't expect my master to arrive so early."
Lu Fu looked at Second Master Wen with some uneasiness, Second Master Wen said busily: "Don't delay, don't delay at all, this is an excellent job for you, let's go back and talk about the details, you take a break, let's watch the excitement here." ” Lu Fu breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's good that there is no delay." ” The three of them didn't say a few words, and the scholars of different ages entered the Lingyun Building, and the second master of Wen pointed to those scholars, "These are the big and small talents who came to take the test in Qiuyu, and they will write in Lingyun Building every Friday, I heard that our Jiangnan Road Tong Envoy has also come a few times, this is our first literary meeting on Jiangnan Road, you also know, I like vassal elegance the most." ” Lu Fu and Kong Da laughed together, and Kong Da continued while laughing: "Ye is not a vassal and elegant, and his knowledge is much stronger than theirs." ” "It's really not as good as them," Second Master Wen shook Erlang's legs, "What they learned, I really don't understand, look at those few, stand out from the crowd, those are all children of the Ji family, tsk" Second Master Wen couldn't say anything about it, "The children of the Ji family, they also came to join in this fun, alas, the Ji family is indeed there" No wonder Ji Tianguan and that Ji Gongzi are bent on change, the Ji family has been silent for ten years, and if they continue to be silent, Ji Tianguan and Ji Gongzi can calm down, but they are afraid of these in their clan, but they can't sink it "It's not as good as the one in the capital, it's a lot worse."
Kong Da looked at the children of the Ji family that Second Master Wen said, and honestly gave an evaluation.
"A group over there, all like our family, there are a lot of them."
Second Master Wen rubbed his fingers, Lu Fu looked at Second Master Wen speechlessly, Kong Da laughed, "Master is real, I don't think they can compare to our family." ” "Of course, they can't compare to the silver, it's stupid, and over there" Second Master Wen's words suddenly stopped, subconsciously raised a hand, and his voice was as low as a whisper, "Their master is here." ” "What" Kong Da didn't react, Lu Fu hurriedly pulled him and shushed, "Light, political envoy."
Kong Da immediately understood, and looked at the eyes of Second Master Wen, only to see a middle-aged man standing in the corner of the hall who was not tall, very rich, with his hands behind his back and his head held high, very proud.
This should be the political envoy Tong Min Tong of Jiangnan West Road.
The boy was next to him with a smile on his face, with an excellent bearing, who looked like he was forty or fifty years old, and behind the two of them, there were four or five sturdy men standing with their hands down.
"Who is that?"
asked Kong Da, gesturing to a man in his forties and fifties.
"The most confidant staff, Mr.
Zuo."
Second Master Wen's attention was all on Mr.
Zuo.
About the scholars in Lingyun Tower knew who this middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing who came in quietly from the corner gate was, and they all tried to pretend that they didn't see anything, but their eyes kept glancing at the two of them.
Caught in the countless scorching gazes, the three of Wen Erye and Kong Da were too inconspicuous.
Tong Envoy Si and Mr.
Zuo paced slowly in the hall, looking at the poems and solving the questions one by one, stopping from time to time, and the two laughed and commented in a low voice.
The scholars of the Lingyun Building were in groups of three or five, pretending not to see it, or that there was no child envoy in the building at all, pretending to be extremely attentive, digging out their hearts to write poems and lyrics to solve the problem, and talking loudly to show their wisdom After looking at it for two quarters of an hour, Second Master Wen stood up, "Let's go." ” Out of Lingyun Tower, Second Master Wen waved his arm a few times, took a long breath and exhaled a few times, "A group of clowns" Kong Da shook his head and sighed, "No, it's just a play, and it's not a good play." ” "Alas," Second Master Wen's sigh was full of sadness, "How can there be any wind and bones in the bones of a scholar, fortunately, I am lame." ” Kong Da coughed violently and choked, Lu Fu glanced at him, followed the second master in a few steps, made a few turns, got into the car, and went to the Nancheng Bamboo Pavilion.
Li Tong came out of Baolin Nunnery a little later than usual, not far from Wisteria Villa, Da Qiao suddenly slowed down the car, and knocked on the car door in a hurry, "Girl, it's that Ning Qiye again." ” Shui Lian was surprised, Li Tong was also stunned, signaled Shui Lian to calm down, and raised his hand to lift the curtain.
In front of the side of the car, Ning Yuan was wearing a dark blue robe, standing on the side of the road, the whip in his hand turned around, meeting Li Tong's gaze, and smiling.
"Big Joe, stop."
Li Tong whispered to Da Qiao, Da Qiao stopped the car, took the pedal and put it away, Li Tong signaled that Shuilian didn't need to get out of the car, he got out of the car by himself, Ning Yuan stood still, Li Tong walked over, stood two or three steps away from Ning Yuan, and bowed his knees, "Ning Qiye." ” "You're half a quarter of an hour later than usual today, what's the matter with the eldest princess?"
Li Tong was stunned when Ning Yuan's words were stunned, and then he couldn't cry or laugh, he stared at him closely, and he stared at him so unscrupulously and justifiably, it was really rare.
"It's nothing, the eldest prince is mainly something, don't you know" Li Tong asked rhetorically in his words
